Without any delay, Sima Cuo took the token and went out of the tent, mounted his fast horse and headed towards the camp to the east.
At this time, on the front line, the armies of Wei and Qin were already on fire.
Some of the sleepy Qin soldiers who had just laid down on the bed were reawakened. Before they had time to know what was happening, they were pushed by the camp commander into formation to meet the enemy.
And what was charging straight towards the Qin army was the absolute main force of the Wei army - Wei Wuzu!
Before the soldiers at the front arrived, the arrow rain from the rear struck first!
The archers at the rear of the phalanx took the lead in launching an attack on the Qin army based on the advantage of the terrain. After bursts of wailing, the Qin army, which was attacked by a dense rain of arrows, woke up from their sleep - it turned out that they were really is on the battlefield again.
Immediately afterwards, the powerful crossbow equipped by Wei Wuzu also showed its power instantly.
The sound of swishing crossbow arrows piercing the air resounded through the Qin army's front line again, and the Qin army fell one after another. The powerful crossbows fired by Wei soldiers at close range were almost unavoidable and every arrow was sure to hit. In just two rounds, the Qin army's casualties were already in the thousands. Obviously the Qin army was caught off guard by the Wei army's sudden attack.
Fortunately, after the two rounds of arrow rain from the Wei army, the crossbowmen under the Qin army's Xiaowei He finally came over in formation. Then the Xiaowei hurriedly greeted the archers and crossbowmen under his command, led the bows and set the arrows, Round after round of arrow rain, they immediately counterattacked towards the Wei army.
It's a pity that the Wei soldiers in front of them were already prepared for the Qin army's strong bows and crossbows. They followed the Wei army captain's order to "raise the shield."
Bang, bang, bang... The crossbow fell to the ground, and the soldiers of Wei stood still, and then took out their shields from the sides and back of their bodies.
Immediately, the halberds were leveled, and row after row, with orderly intervals, the Wei soldiers charged towards the yet-to-be-formed Qin army's front!
Ding-ding-dang-dang, that was the sound of Qin's crossbow arrows hitting the shield.
Qin Nu, who had made great achievements many times, failed for the first time on the battlefield. However, the exhausted Qin army without the support of their bows and crossbows was no match for the elite Wei soldiers. Although the long shield in his hand blocked Wei Wusu's halberd, it was pushed straight back by the powerful Wei Wusu, even though there were two spearmen behind him.
As a result, loopholes burst open in the Qin army's line. The well-trained Wei soldiers on the side immediately inserted themselves through the cracked gaps, sweeping the halberd, and the horizontal blade instantly solved them from the side and the rear. Several Qin Army shield soldiers - the Qin Army's defense line was also opened.
Subsequently, more Wei soldiers poured into it, completely tearing the gap in the Qin army's line.
However, Wei Wuzu did not stop their pace, and then rushed towards the Qin army from the huge gap.
Spearmen, jumping soldiers, sword and shield soldiers, and even great swordsmen, almost none of them are the enemies of Wei Wuzu. Wei Wuzu is about to break into the Qin army's crossbows.
If the troops in front can at least compete with the soldiers of Wei, then the crossbowmen in front of the soldiers of Wei will be a one-sided game waiting to be slaughtered.
The halberd is either horizontal or stabbing, and the wooden crossbows in the hands of the crossbowmen cannot stop the power of the halberd. Once the phalanx of crossbowmen is broken, it will be impossible to suppress the subsequent Wei army, and more and more Wei troops will attack the Qin army's line, completely forming a vicious cycle.
Of course, the captain of the Qin Army knew that the matter was urgent, and he was not stingy. He immediately deployed the killer weapon-the ballista!
Only the "buzzing" sound that broke through the sky was heard throughout the battlefield, and the first few rows of Wei soldiers fell down in response. Even as strong as the Wei soldiers holding long shields, they could not withstand the power of the ballista!
Before the soldiers of the Wei army could react, the second round of attack by the ballistae had begun.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of soldiers drank in hatred on the spot.
The vanguard general Jin Bi saw it and was anxious in his heart. They were Wei soldiers. There were only three thousand people left in the country. He didn't want to lose them all in such a battle.
But at this time, the two armies have become powerful forces. Even if Jin Bi wants to withdraw the Wei soldiers, he cannot do it. On the contrary, if he withdraws the Wei soldiers at this time, it will create a huge power vacuum and even lead to The Qin army's counterattack. In that case, the Wei army would suffer even greater losses!
Therefore, Jin Bi could only count on the Wei soldiers in front
The captain can think of a solution as soon as possible.
What can be done?
The captain looked at the Qin Army's crossbow phalanx, which was close at hand but far away, as well as the dozens of crossbow carts lined up in the front. He gritted his teeth but was helpless, and his heart ached for a while.
Finally, after paying the price of hundreds of soldiers, the captain seemed to have thought of a way to defeat the enemy.
"Listen to my general, the first three rows abandon their shields, keep their halberds, and attack the ballista directly!" the captain shouted: "Quick!"
That's right, the captain's method was to throw away everything that was in the way and only keep the halberd in his hand in order to move quickly. He took note of the shortcoming of the ballista being difficult to move and quickly subdued it.
Of course, without the protection of the long shield, the defensive ability is greatly reduced. Not only the ballista can break through its defense, but even ordinary crossbows can break through its defense and injure its body. But the captain believes that even if he can exchange for one with a ballista, the soldiers will still make money.
Sure enough, under the attack of the Wei soldiers who were not afraid of death, the Qin army's deadly weapon, the ballista, could not dodge at all, and soon fell to the ground with hatred under the Wei army's halberd.
After taking care of most of the crossbow chariots, Wei soldiers were about to continue advancing and completely eliminate the Qin army's crossbowmen, but they were hit by arrows and horses falling from the sky.
It was Sima Cuo who finally arrived at the battlefield with the warriors and soldiers given by Bai Qi.
An evenly matched battle immediately began between Qin and Wei.
The battle between Qin and Wei was in full swing here, and the camp of Zhao Jun over there was gradually becoming lively.
Perhaps it was God's will in the dark. Zhao Kuo, who had been stunned by the words of Zhao Wei and others just now, woke up after Lian Po lit the smoke.
"Report: The Qin Army has discovered three warning signs in the south!"
"Report: There seems to be fighting in the south of the Qin army!"
. . . . .
Struggling, Zhao Kuo sat up. He knew that it was the signal for a general attack from Lian Po.
While Zhao Kuo shouted that he was lucky, the wound on his chest seemed to be less painful.
"General Lian Po has arrived with the reinforcements from Wei. Give me the order: The whole army strikes back!" Zhao Kuo's face flushed and he ordered excitedly.
"Yes!" The ordering soldier on the side immediately took the order.
"Zhao Wei." Zhao Kuo coughed and nodded.
"The general is here." Zhao Wei replied.
"Twenty thousand fresh troops, take them all away and act according to plan, do you understand?" Zhao Kuo continued to order.
"General, where are you?" Zhao Wei asked still worried.
"No problem, the sooner you capture Light Wolf City, the safer my place will be." Zhao Kuo shook his head and said nonchalantly: "I am in a hurry to go north first, and then take advantage of the night to go west to quickly capture Light Wolf City. There must be no error."
