Not only did the Qin Army's frontline officers think Zhao Jun was joking, but General Sima Cuo of the Chinese Army couldn't help but sigh when he saw this situation. Apparently Sima Cuo felt much better.
The reason is simple. Zhao Jun's move was not only a meaningless move with almost no lethality, but also a stupid move that gave up the initiative on the battlefield.
You must know that human speed is limited. After shooting this arrow, if Zhao's soldiers want to set up their bows and shoot arrows again, it will take time to prepare. It takes time to pick up the arrows, set up the bows, and pull the strings. Waiting for Zhao After the army completed this series of operations, it was time to reach the distance of 200 steps, and the first wave of threatening arrow rain from the Qin army would also fall on the heads of Zhao's soldiers.
Therefore, in Sima Cuo's eyes, Zhao Jun was no longer even joking, this was a proper "suicide."
But before he could say the word "suicide", Sima Cuo already felt keenly that something was wrong. Why haven't Zhao Jun's arrows fallen yet? !
The next scene made Sima Cuo stunned - as the arrows landed, the Qin army warriors at the front fell off their horses one after another like dumplings.
Zhao Jun's arrows were not only powerful, but also like eyes wide open, hitting almost every one of the Qin Army's elite soldiers. And when the arrows came through the air, the warriors of the Qin army were still laughing at the Zhao soldiers for not knowing how to fight on horseback. They took out their bows and arrows from behind and prepared to teach Zhao Jun how to fight on horseback.
Therefore, almost all Qin troops were unprepared, let alone any defense.
So when the arrow appeared above the Qin army's head, it was already too late!
Fortunately, what the Qin army deployed was a front-line formation. Although the troops in the front section were the most elite and strongest, they were also the smallest in number. Even if the Zhao army's arrows were accurate enough, they could only damage a part of the Qin army that entered the shooting range.
However, under this rain of arrows, the Qin army also lost more than 70 people, which already made the Qin army somewhat injured.
More importantly, just as Sima Cuo had imagined just now, the initiative on the battlefield has been completely transferred to the hands of Zhao Jun.
They can shoot you, but you can't shoot them. How can we fight this battle? Although he didn't know how Zhao Jun did it, Sima Cuo knew that if this continued, his own strength would soon be exhausted by Zhao Jun.
Seeing that Zhao Jun was setting up his bow again, the second round of arrow rain was expected to strike soon, and we were still shocked by the large attack range of Zhao Jun's arrows, even though a few people who understood had already taken out their arrows. Arrow, this distance obviously does not pose any strong threat to Zhao Jun.
"Command: Accelerate, sprint, get close, fight hand to hand!" Sima Cuo immediately ordered.
At the command, the drumbeats behind him suddenly became intensive. It was the command to sprint. The command that should have been launched a hundred and twenty steps away was sounded at a distance of nearly three hundred steps.
The sharp soldiers of the Qin Army immediately understood what their General Sima meant - long-range attacks were no longer possible, and they could only fight close to each other! When it comes to close combat, who are the warriors of the Qin army afraid of?
Without the slightest hesitation, the warriors of the Qin army did not care about their horse power, and slapped their whips hard on the horses' buttocks. In pain, the Qin Army's horses rushed forward like crazy. At the same time, the Qin Army on top of the horses also slightly raised their left hand wearing a small shield, trying to avoid the incoming Zhao Army's arrows. arrow.
The soldiers of the Zhao army naturally noticed the Qin army's acceleration, but they still fired the arrows in their hands calmly. However, the speed of their horses did not change at all, and they still thought steadily about advancing forward. Obviously, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, Zhao Jun's soldiers are not at all shy.
The Zhao army's arrows fell quickly because the Qin army had been slightly prepared. The result of this battle was obviously reduced, and the Qin army only lost less than forty men.
But even so, two rounds of arrows rained down, and the Qin army's combat strength that was outflanking had been damaged by at least one-third.
Sima Cuo, who was behind, saw this situation and was anxious in his heart: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Seeing that the battle force in the front had been depleted a lot, Sima Cuo didn't care about anything else. He urged his horses and rushed to the right with the last dozen or so warriors of the Qin army.
Zhao Kuo looked at the Qin army's great banner that had begun to move, and felt very worried.
Determined - the encirclement and annihilation battle is over! What Zhao Kuo was most worried about, the Qin army escaping, did not happen. The Qin army was still as brave and fearless as ever. Even though it had suffered losses at his own hands time and time again, it was still unwilling to give up the fantasy of killing him.
Then let yourself teach them a lesson!
"It's time to throw out the last bait!" Zhao Kuo said with a smile to the soldiers on the side; "Light the smoke, notify Yan Yu, and close the Internet cafe!"
"Yes!" the soldier promised immediately.
Wolf smoke is a communication tool that has been used for a long time in ancient times. It is mostly used to warn and ask for help. Of course, it can also be a signal of agreement.
The agreement between Zhao Kuo and Yan and Zhao Ping in the city was: when the smoke rises, they will leave Yan and block the road and trap the Qin army.
Soon the smoke started to rise. Zhao Ping, who had been waiting for a long time in Yan, immediately led eight hundred soldiers out of the south of the city and went straight to the place where the smoke rose. Of course, we have to wait for Zhao Ping's arrival, but it still takes time. The soldiers led by Zhao Ping did not come to fight for real.
But the role of this beacon is not only to notify Zhao Ping, but the main target is not Zhao Ping, but the Qin Army general in front of him. Because Zhao Ping could see the smoke, the Qin army commander who was close at hand could definitely see it too.
"Wolf smoke!" Sima Cuo, who was galloping, did not forget to observe the situation on the battlefield. The wolf smoke that shot straight into the sky naturally caught Sima Cuo's eyes immediately. However, Sima Cuo not only did not panic, but became excited: "Zhao Jun It’s no longer possible, Zhao Jun is asking for help! My dear men, stick up, victory will definitely belong to me, Da Qin.”
Yes, in Sima Cuo's eyes, the smoke was a sign of weakness. It was a sign that Zhao Jun had no backup in the face of his desperate breakthrough. It was also a clarion call for him to launch the final battle of "do it or die"!
It's a pity that this smoke is just the bait spread by Zhao Kuo, specially used to catch the Qin army! It’s what you think!
The warriors of the Qin army received the encouragement, and then clamped heavily on the horse's belly. The horse once again exerted its strength and jumped forward, shortening the distance between the two armies to less than 200 steps in an instant. At this time, Zhao Jun's arrows arrived again as promised.
Fortunately, the sudden acceleration prevented Zhao Jun's arrows from making any more achievements, and a shower of arrows only took away more than twenty lives.
The Qin army was obviously ready to give up the long-range attack and wanted to rush forward and rush in front of the Zhao army...
