Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
According to the original plan, the Qin army will withdraw tonight, Bai Qi expected that Zhao Kuo would definitely come in a hurry to kill, just after the morning, Bai Qi ordered the whole army to pull out the camp and began to retreat to the area of Changbi, where they wanted to set up an iron bucket array to trap the Zhao army.
On Daliang Mountain, Wan Jian and Guiguzi stood on the top of the mountain, Wan Jian was white, looking like a fairy wind and bones, Guiguzi was dressed in black, just like Yuanyu Yuezhi.
Guiguzi said, "Brother Wan, it seems that the war between Qin and Zhao is about to begin. ”
Wan Jianjaw said, "That's right, at most an hour, or even half an hour, the two armies will start a big battle, I have arranged for people to prepare the horcruxes, two days ago, the Zhao army attacked the Qin camp at night, hundreds of people died, and those living souls have been collected by me." ”
Guiguzi sighed with emotion, "In this big war, I am afraid that thousands of soldiers will be killed and wounded, God has the virtue of a good life, for the sake of the common people in the world, let's be sinners once." ”
After a while, the four horcruxes of Daliang Mountain, Xiwang Mountain, Hanwang Mountain, and Tangwang Mountain were sacrificed, and the four horcruxes seemed to be cast in bronze, like a tripod but not a tripod, like a wok.
The horcrux on Daliang Mountain, there are already hundreds of people's souls in it, and there seems to be a hoarse howl from it, such as resentment, such as crying, like complaining, the slightest curling, endless, in the hot summer, people have a creepy feeling.
Just after noon, nearly half of the men and horses in the camp of the Qin army have been withdrawn, Wang Jian is digging a trench there with 10,000 horses, this trench is about three zhang wide, two zhang deep, except for those who have practiced light body kung fu, most of the soldiers are impossible to jump over, if it is cavalry, I am afraid that people and horses will be planted directly into it.
However, this is not difficult for the Zhao army, you can dig a ditch, I can fill the ditch, as long as the Qin army is defeated, a section of the trench can be filled in less than a moment and a half, and the Zhao army can be killed to the other side.
At noon, Wang Jian was sweating in the sun, and the soldiers who were wielding shovels and digging ditches were basically shirtless and shirtless.
Qin Jun was sprinkling a lot of black oil-like mucus in the trench, and he didn't know what it was.
Suddenly, Wang Jian heard a rumbling roar in the distance, and the earth seemed to tremble gently, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping.
Wang Jian heard it in his heart, it's not good, the Zhao army is coming, and it came so quickly, he shouted, "The whole army is gathered and ready to meet the enemy." ”
The soldiers in the trenches all threw down their shovels, climbed up slowly, quickly put on their battle armor, and lined up one by one, ready to meet the enemy.
Wang Jian held the battle flag in his hand and waved it high, "Array." ”
Two cavalry and 1,000 people on both sides, three thousand infantry teams in the back, five thousand archers in front, 5,000 archers are all equipped with strong crossbows, 200 feather arrows each, these archers have been on the battlefield for a long time, they are extremely fast to load arrows, and the archery is extremely accurate, the most important thing is that they put down their bows and arrows are well-trained infantry, each with a saber on their waists, and they are ready for hand-to-hand combat, even if the bow and arrow are stronger, they can't stop the 400,000 army of Zhao.
Their task was to hold back the Zhao army, give the main force of the Qin army sufficient time to prepare, and more importantly, to make the Zhao army mistakenly believe that the Qin army was really going to escape, so they sent so many elite soldiers to cover the retreat.
Zhao Jun was Zhao Liang alone, and I saw him straddle a red rabbit horse, carrying a spear, wearing a white robe, looking majestic, followed by a group of infantry and archers, and the cavalry was at the rear.
There was a big trench in front, and the cavalry could not rush up to fill it, which was too defeated, Zhao Kuo let the shield soldiers in the front, the archers and infantry followed, and the cavalry pressed the formation at the rear.
The 10,000 soldiers of the Qin army, looking at the hundreds of thousands of troops on the opposite side, have no fear, and the 5,000 archers are all ready to wait, as long as the Zhao army enters the attack range, General Wang will give an order, and they will release arrows with all their might.
The 3,000 infantry, all armed with shields, acted as shield soldiers in front, and if the Zhao army also used bows and arrows to shoot, they had to protect these archers.
Zhao Jun is getting closer and closer.
A thousand steps.
Five hundred steps.
Three hundred steps.
Two hundred steps.
The soldiers of the Qin State could already clearly see the faces of the soldiers of the Zhao State opposite, and the young faces full of murderous aura made people shudder.
One hundred and fifty steps.
The Zhao army had already reached the range of the Qin army's strong crossbow archers, and Wang Jian shouted, "Release the arrows." ”
5,000 archers move in unison, and their arrows are released at the same time.
With a whoosh, a powerful sound of breaking the sky, and the sound of five thousand feather arrows was like a feather arrow, it can be seen that the strictness of Qin's ** order is definitely a military order.
Suddenly, the arrows rained down, and the range of the archers of Zhao State was only about a hundred steps, and the difference of fifty steps became their nightmare.
Zhao Liang saw Qin Jun release arrows and shouted, "Shield soldier, cover." ”
Those shield soldiers put their shields on the ground and stacked them to block the archers behind them, but there were still many shield soldiers who were slow to react and immediately became dead spirits under the arrows.
After the first round of bows and arrows of the Qin army, the Zhao army suffered more than 300 casualties, and in less than a moment, the second round of bows and arrows of the Qin army came, and for a time it was like flying locusts, and the Zhao army was struggling, and it was necessary to pay a huge price for a single step.
Although Zhao Liang is brave, he can't use the immortal method, even if he is covered in iron, he can hit a few nails, this time the Qin army is attacking in a large area, and he is not shooting at Zhao Liang alone, so Zhao Liang has nothing to do.
In less than a moment, Zhao Jun left corpses all over the ground, and at least nearly a thousand people died with half a pillar of incense.
A few days ago, the Zhao army raided the Qin camp twice and won two small victories, so I felt that the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was nothing more than that, and this time in a frontal confrontation, I realized that it was a big mistake, and the combat effectiveness of the Qin army can be described as quite strong.
The soldiers of Zhao State are all recruits for one or two years, those veterans are defending against the Huns in the north, there are many Korean soldiers in the Zhao ** team, South Korea was divided into two by Qin, and it is in danger, if he openly sends troops to aid Zhao State, King Han is afraid that King Qin will fight against him again, so he came up with such a strategy, let Han soldiers pretend to be Zhao soldiers to fight together, South Korea and Zhao State border, many languages and customs are basically the same, not to mention that Qin soldiers can't tell the difference between Han soldiers and Zhao soldiers, even Zhao Bing himself can't tell the difference.
The so-called Ci is not in charge of the troops, although the vanguard of the Zhao army fell like cutting wheat, but Zhao Kuo was still unmoved and ordered the three armies to advance.
As long as they can advance to the edge of the trench, the Qin soldiers will definitely not be able to withstand it.
However, this hundred steps seemed very close, but it was too difficult to move forward, and in the gap between the Qin army's exchange of arrows, Zhao Jun took the opportunity to advance three or five steps.
Wang Jian saw it and shouted loudly, "Take turns to change arrows." ”
The Qin army was divided into five groups, and a thousand people took turns to change arrows, and the density of arrows was much smaller, but there was no gap in the middle, and the Zhao army had no time difference to advance at all.
At this time, the Zhao army had advanced to a distance of more than a hundred steps, and when Zhao Liang saw that it went on like this, he didn't know how many people would have to die before he could advance to the vicinity of the trench, and shouted, "Give me a bow and arrow." ”
When an archer next to him heard this, he immediately handed the bow and arrow to Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang shot three arrows on his horse, pulled the bow into a full moon, and swished three arrows out, hitting the foreheads of the three Qin archers, and the three people fell to the ground, dying that they could no longer die.
In fact, Zhao Liang killed the three people and did not have much effect, but Zhao Liang's actions aroused the fighting spirit of the Zhao army, and the soldiers of Zhao State were all shocked when they saw that the main general was so brave, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and rushed forward desperately.
Seeing that Zhao's army was so brave, Wang Jian made a gesture to a group of cavalry next to him, and the three hundred cavalry galloped to the other end of the trench, not knowing what to do.
The Qin army was unmoved, still releasing arrows and arrows, although the morale of the Zhao army was high, but the mortality rate increased significantly, and in a short time, nearly 2,000 people were killed and wounded.
From the beginning of the attack to the present, there is only a stick of incense, but the casualties of the Zhao army have exceeded more than 3,000 people, it can be said that the corpses are all over the field, and the blood is flowing like a river, many soldiers are brothers of a battalion, and they are still alive in the morning, and now they are lying motionless on the ground.
Zhao Jun's eyes were red-eyed, and he couldn't wait to rush forward and slaughter these Qin soldiers to avenge his brothers, but this distance of more than 100 steps became the place of death for Zhao Jun.
After paying nearly 5,000 casualties, the Zhao army finally advanced to a distance of less than a hundred paces from the Qin army
For a time, all the archers of the Zhao army drew their bows and arrows and began to fight back, the archers of the Zhao army were far more than the Qin army, and for a time the arrows were like flying locusts, and only the sound of the feather arrows breaking through the air was heard.
The Qin army suffered nearly five or six hundred casualties in an instant, and this time they also tasted the taste of being killed and wounded.
"Into the battlement. Wang Jian ordered loudly.
The Qin army built a lot of simple arrow stacks on the opposite side of the trench, that is, some earthen walls and wooden fences, although relatively rudimentary, but at least they could defend against the bows and arrows of the Zhao army.
At this moment, the Zhao army advanced a distance of more than ten paces, and there were more Zhao archers who could carry out effective attacks.
The Qin army was behind the arrow stack, and he didn't dare to show his head at all, and as soon as a Qin soldier showed his head, he just wanted to release the arrow, but he was shot by a stray arrow, and with an oops, he lay on the ground, and he couldn't survive.
All the Qin soldiers gasped behind the arrow stacks, and did not dare to move, only to hear the crackling of the earthen wall or wooden fence behind them as if it were raining, and all the sound of arrows shooting on them.
Some of the earthen walls and wooden fences were overwhelmed and collapsed with a thud, and dozens of Qin soldiers were immediately exposed to the bows and arrows of the Zhao army, and in a moment they were shot into hedgehogs, and they died no more.
Under the attack of the Zhao army's arrow rain, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, and the death toll was close to 1,000.
Although the exchange ratio between the two armies of Qin and Zhao is one to five, and the record is not bad, five thousand people is nothing for the 300,000 Zhao army, but one thousand people is a heavy loss for the Qin army with only 10,000 people.
If this continues, it won't take long for the Zhao army to break through to the front of the trench, as long as the Zhao army crosses the trench, the 10,000 Qin army will become a turtle in the urn, and it will definitely be slaughtered.
