Chapter 514: Victory!
General Chestnut and General Durian waved their respective iron lumps and smashed them into the Xuan Armored Cavalry formation.
Two generals of the Qi army waved their weapons and wanted to fight against the fierce two men. Who would have thought that as soon as they met, they were shot down by Bosang Saiyang and Chu Qianjun. The two of them took advantage of the situation and smashed them all, and actually broke the opponent's formation open. The Jingshan Army behind them rushed in like mercury, and soon broke up the enemy's front line.
Gradually, the Jingshan Army noticed something was wrong... Why was the opponent's cavalry ability so terrible? Many people were unfamiliar with basic assassination, and their movements were full of flaws. They could not care about their butts after taking care of their heads.
As the saying goes, experts know if there is any. After a few rounds, the Jingshan Army confirmed that this was not a Yum cavalry, but a group of fakes wearing armor in the same color! When they thought that they were almost scared to death, the Qin army suddenly felt extremely fooled, and they tore and bite them like a mad dog, and defeated these Xibei goods in a few rounds.
Seeing that no matter how horses, armor, cavalry, or combat power, the light cavalry of Qi could not compete with the Qin army, they finally had no intention of fighting, so they turned their horses and wanted to escape from the flanks.
Shen Qing looked down from a high position on the chariot and secretly said in his heart that he was lucky: 'If you are really scared, you won't have to mess up again in the future...' Finally, he let out a long sigh and waved his hand and said, "Chasing for Wuli, completely defeating the enemy!" The reserve team, which had been unable to wait, rushed to the front, driving thousands of light cavalry of Qi to the point of urination, and pouring thousands of miles into a rush.
After defeating the group of fakes, the front army that had broken through two consecutive battles was finally trapped and could no longer pursue them. They could only watch others beat the dogs in the water.
After returning from the army, two blood-stained generals came to the front of the central army flag with their heads raised and their chests raised. One threw down a head and said with a fist: "A certain formation kills an enemy general! Please take the commander to claim the first merit for someone." The other threw down a flag, and said with a rough voice: "I have seized an enemy battle flag, please take the leader to claim the first merit for someone!" The battle flag is the soul of the army. The army without the flag is a mess, so its importance is no less than that of a leading general.
Shen Qing smiled and said with a smile: "Our army won the first battle, and the two generals are going to be written into the history of the military, so the dispute is not beautiful." They are basically the kind of guys who are muscular. When they hear that it will be recorded in history, Bo Shang Saiyang immediately smiled, and even Chu Qianjun with a gloomy face no longer looks at the battle flag.
Just as he comforted the two powerful generals under his command, Shen Qing saw Qin Ba and his subordinates come back with a little dejected look. He waved and called Qin Ba over, and said with a smile: "Why are you still unhappy after winning the battle?"
"That wasn't something I beat." Qin Ba said depressedly: "Those bastards didn't listen to the hell. I was afraid that they would disband, so I kept blocking them from behind and didn't go up at all." As he said that, he drew a knife to show his flawless blade and said: "Sir, I didn't even cut a single knife."
Shen Qing smiled and said, "It's time to get married again and again. You Master Zheng was not born so brave."
Boshang Saiyang stood on tiptoe and patted his brain and said, "The first time I almost pissed my pants..."
Amid the laughter of everyone, Qin Ba's expression finally sootheed a lot.
"Mr. Commander, the results of the battle have come out." The staff officer in charge of the counting said pale: "In this battle, our army was killed in battle, severely injured twenty-two, and the rest were slightly injured without any hindrance. A total of 573 beheaded, 32 capturing, and completely defeating the enemy cavalry." As he said, he said regretfully: "The results of the battle were mainly obtained during pursuit, but the opponent's infantry team was three miles away, and he had to meet the dispersed enemy troops. Otherwise, there would be many more beheadings."
Shen Qing nodded and smiled and said, "What's wrong? I feel uncomfortable?" He was still very kind to these serious Jinshi's origins... At this time, the Chinese military men had not been castrated by the "virtue of civil and military affairs". Although their status was inferior to that of the high-ranking gentry, they were higher than those of scholars from the common people. Therefore, his kindness was very respected by scholars.
"The student just went to check the results and saw the piles of heads... it was quite uncomfortable." The staff officer smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry, sir, I'll get used to it."
Shen Qing smiled with understanding and said, "It's okay to get used to it earlier. I don't know when this battle will be fought."
The staff officer said proudly: "Students see that the enemy army will collapse at once, but I am the one who comes. Once the king's army arrives, they will definitely roll the soup and pour snow, and make a decision with the backhand."
Shen Qing shook his head and said, "These are only third-rate troops of Qi State, and cannot represent the true level of the Qi army. When I escorted the prince back to China, I have seen their main troops, which are not comparable to those of the Jingshan Army today." He said with a serious expression: "Since we have encountered a weak brigade, it means that the enemy's main attack direction is not here."
Although the staff officer has a high education, he is still a rookie in military affairs. He heard this and said nervously: "Where could it be?"
"I don't know," Shen Qing shook his head and said, "We lack information, so we have to contact Shen Bing first." Zhan Yan smiled and said, "But the first battle is smooth, it is finally a good thing."
"Yes, I don't know how the prince is doing?"
The prince is not very good.
After repeated thinking, Yang Wenyu woke Qin Lei up and said ashamed: "You are incompetent, and you can break the formation unless the prince accepts one hundred to one hundred and fifteen casualties of the black armored cavalry."
Qin Lei suddenly sat up, his eyes were bright and he didn't fall asleep at first sight. He said in a deep voice: "If this army can be defeated, I am willing to bear it." The urgent problem at the moment is to drive out the blood and energy of the team. Otherwise, not only can they not expect them to defeat the enemy, but they also have to worry about disintegration at all times... The two of them agreed that judging from the current situation of this army, the loss of 10% of their troops would be enough to lead to a major defeat.
Yang Wenyu smiled bitterly and said, "This is the number of casualties that broke the formation. I will calculate it later."
"That's it..." Qin Lei frowned and slowly stroked his chin and said, "At least you have to lose this number."
"Or... forget it." Yang Wenyu whispered: "After all, our goal is to prevent the enemy from occupying Mount Yu. From a strategic perspective, this battle is purely redundant."
His words helped Qin Lei make up his mind, punched the car on the edge of the car, gritting his teeth and said, "But you have to fight." He pointed to the soldier who was whispering in the distance and said, "Retreat without fighting will make them even more cowardly! Just treat it as giving them a lesson..."
"This bunch of squids is expensive." Yang Wenyu said reluctantly: "The Black Guard is an elite in our army."
"I can't care about that much!" Once I make up my mind, Qin Lei will not stop his head and said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, it will cause ten or a hundred times the loss in the future."
Seeing that the prince had made up his mind, Yang Wenyu had no choice but to respond in a deep voice and ordered the troops to take action immediately... Before coming to find Qin Lei, he asked Gou Ji to start preparing.
Seeing that the Qin army soldiers were on their horses one after another, the war drums began to rumble, and the Qi army on the hillside suddenly became nervous... Generally speaking, in the field, the defense means the disadvantaged side, and the pressure will naturally be greater.
But seeing a large group of Qin cavalry leaving the formation and approaching the hillside from five hundred feet away. Qi's archers pulled their bowstrings one after another, aiming at the enemy, waiting to enter the range, and then taught them a lesson that they would never forget.
But unexpectedly, when the cavalry advanced a hundred and fifty feet away, they suddenly changed direction and began to run around the hill.
"Be on the left wing!" The general led the army and the general quickly issued an order. Before he finished speaking, the enemy was behind him again. The general had to continue, "Be on the rear!" "Be on the right wing!" In fact, just say "all guards"...
I saw the Qin army in a brigade running around the mound with a radius of less than three miles. Although it was not fast and there were not many people, it was because of its sparse formation. It soon joined the head and tail, as if a black giant python had wrapped its prey, with a full visual impact.
The feeling of being strangled was very uncomfortable. General Governor decided to change it and ordered loudly: "Cabinets on both sides will attack them!" The cavalry, who had been furious, rushed down when they heard this, but before they could rush out, they had already ushered in the rain of arrows shooting from all directions.
These cavalry are not comparable to those third-rate troops, but are the most regular charge cavalry of Qi. They have perfect armor and rapid impact, and are not afraid of ordinary crossbows.
But the Qin army in circles below were not ordinary people. They were well-equipped, good at riding and shooting, and were particularly insidious... They saw all the crossbow arrows fed heavily poisonously greeting Qi Jun's war horses, and shot one in the blink of an eye. After the war horses were shot, they began to slam the speed, and naturally slowed down. The ones behind them had no time to react, so they naturally bumped into them. They saw people everywhere in front of the Qi army, and their offensive suddenly became stagnant.
"Does these poisons really not produce energy?" Seeing that the effect of the bow and arrow was unprecedentedly good, Yang Wenyu asked, "It would be great if the entire army was equipped."
"Don't even think about it." Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "This kind of thing is only produced in the southwest poisonous miasma, and it is extremely rare, which is much more expensive than gold." In fact, it is the poisonous wood juice produced in Yunnan and Guizhou. There is a saying in the Dai area that "guan Sanshui" means that after the bow and arrow made of this sap hit a wild beast, even if it does not hit the vital point, it will definitely die if it cannot jump out of three steps, so it is also called "throat sealing when blood is seen."
Yang Wenyu just said that, smacked his lips with regret, and turned his eyes back to the battlefield.
There was still a large group of Qi troops rushing over, but the circles of black-armored cavalry did not stop them, but just accelerated the passage and allowed the Qi cavalry to rush down the hill... The main force of the black-armored cavalry was waiting for the battle at the foot of the mountain. Basically, these Qi troops had gone but never returned.
I found that compared with my opponent, my cavalry was very bad, so the general of the gang had to stop the other cavalry from continuing to die... This is a natural gap. The barbarians of Qin State were keen on force and were able to ride and shoot from a young age. With a little training, they could become excellent string-controlling cavalry, which was not comparable to those of Qi State's half-way monks.
Seeing that the attack failed, the generals had to order their subordinates to defend themselves and use the military formation that the Qi army was best at to deal with the enemy's cavalry.
The Qi archers who received the orders all set off their bows and arrows, and focused on them to aim ahead... After following the Qin army for a long time, they would be dizzy. They figured out that the Qi army adopted the turtle tactic of "the enemy moves and we don't move" and exhausted the Qin army.
It was noon at this time. The sun was scorching in June, without a trace of wind, and sweat was dripping down. In a short while, the archers and the swordsmen were blurred. The spearmen and the swordsmen were quickly wiped with the rag heads to wipe their sweat, and tried every means to shade them and replenish their moisture. The Qi army was of strict rank, and the archers were the highest-level troops, and the rest of the troops were obliged to serve them.
But today's diligent offering has some side effects... In front of you, a group of people around you are swaying, and you still have to stare at the enemies who are constantly spinning around in the distance. How can you not be upset and not judge abnormally?
No one noticed it, and before he knew it, the Qin cavalry had narrowed a lot of distance.
The two sides are a hundred feet apart!
"It's almost done!" Yang Wenyu, who had been closely watching the battlefield, said in a deep voice: "Send a signal."
Then he heard three consecutive sounds of firecrackers, and some of the Qin cavalry in circles suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the Qi cavalry on the top of the mountain. While charging, he swung his arms and spinning a meteor-like thing.
Qi Jun was shocked. The archers were about to aim, but they saw a dazzling light lit up in front of them, which made them unable to see anything. They could only shoot the bows and arrows in their hands. The long arrow without targets flew everywhere in the sky and underground, and actually shot down a passing wild duck...
On the contrary, those bulky crossbows, because they were fixed by large chariots, shot out almost the same arrows, and actually hit some Qin troops.
The bed crossbow was developed by Zhao Wujiu on the basis of the winch crossbow in the Tang Dynasty. He combined two or three bows together to greatly strengthen the tension and strength of the crossbow. When opening the crossbow, he used a thick rope to connect the crossbow string to the winch. The soldiers turned the winch, opened the crossbow string, and installed giant arrows. When radiating, the soldiers would hit the trigger with a sledgehammer, and the machine would fire the strings and shoot the arrows to the distance.
The huge momentum is completely comparable to ordinary crossbows, and it is even more powerful than a spear thrust within a hundred feet... Since having such a weapon, the Qi army has found a way to deal with the Qin cavalry. Otherwise, relying solely on ordinary crossbows will basically be useless, and they don’t know where the “Xishuangbanna” is.
The huge arrow shot from the crossbow is more than five feet long. Its huge impact force is completely ignored in such a short distance. As long as the black armored cavalry touches it, it will be penetrated. Under the medical level at that time, there is basically no possibility of survival... Of course, there are also some luck, but they were shot on the horse, and the person fell down and rolled a few times but could not die.
Fortunately, the black-armored cavalry cunningly chose the direction where the Qi cavalry was located, so most of the giant arrows were enjoyed by the Qi cavalry themselves. With these cute shields, the black-armored cavalry was able to rush within thirty feet in the first wave.
Water meteors came out of their hands, drew perfect arcs under the scorching sun, and landed in the Qi army formation with crackling sounds!
Accompanied by the sound of the clay pot shattering, black liquid splashed out, and instantly covered every corner of the car array. When smelling the pungent smell, Qi Jun, who was aware of the goods, shouted in panic: "Sulphur oil! It's sulphur oil!"
It doesn't matter if this shouting scared the tens of thousands of Qi troops. From the generals to the soldiers, they all fled in scattered all over the place... They all knew that with just one rocket, these sturdy wooden cars would turn into a sea of ​​fire!
The fear of fire exceeded everything. The Qi army had no time to consider the Qin cavalry who were ready to fight. They just wanted to escape from this ghost place!
The original life-saving car array became an obstacle to escape...there were still several layers of obstacles! Without professional training, the Qi army's ability to hurdles was obviously not good. Many people were tripped and fell and trampled to death, but they still could not stop the Qi army's determination to disintegrate.
Chapter completed!
