"wind!"
"Great wind!" A roar resounded across the yellow earth. The Qin army, marching to the beat of neat drums, was like a heavy black tank, crushing mercilessly towards the east!
To the east, amid the breathing of war horses, several soldiers in different clothes looked at the black line getting closer and closer. Although the speed was not very fast, the pressure was suffocating.
Fortunately, the swords and spears in their hands gave them the courage to continue fighting. Finally, the horn behind him finally sounded.
With a "crack" sound, the long knife on the waist of the former military captain was already in his hand and he pointed towards the sky.
The word "attack" was ordered one by one from the mouths of the captains of each army. The 70,000 infantrymen of the coalition's front army immediately grasped the Changge in their hands and marched towards the front step by step to the beat of the drums.
On the vast battlefield west of Luoyang, the former capital of the Zhou Dynasty, the autumn wind gently swept across the earth, taking away the last trace of the sunset's warmth.
Two giant dragons fought bloody battles with Xuanhuang in this dark and unclear world. Whether it is the Qin army or the coalition forces, now is not a good time to fight.
However, the two armies still launched an attack in unison at this not a good time. Perhaps it is this kind of time that will be the fairest time.
History has always been like this. Unexpected things always happen when people least expect them.
No matter what, the war drums have sounded and the flames of war have been ignited. It is nothing more than dragons fighting in the wild, their blood black and yellow.
The battlefield that had long been ravaged by the Qin and Zhou armies once again ushered in two larger and more powerful armies. On the battlefield, the two armies stood east and west. To the west were the tigers and wolves of the Qin State, and to the west were the tigers and wolves of the Qin State. To the east is the coalition of the four countries.
The armies on both sides were each composed of several square formations. Looking at each other from a distance, it was almost impossible to see the edge of each other.
In the front line, countless Tiqi shuttled among them, conveying the general's instructions layer by layer; from time to time there were drums and flags flying, which were letters reported to the Chinese army after arriving at the designated position; in the center of the army Somewhere later, on a temporary high platform built with the help of a hillside, five-color flags were lined up on both sides, and a large banner almost submerged in the sky stood in the middle. It was where the chief generals of their respective armies were; just as the afterglow of the setting sun was about to disappear. At the last moment, the generals of both sides waved their swords almost at the same time and roared: "Attack!" As soon as the words fell, the red flag on the high platform was waved, and then the whimpering horn sounded on the side of the high platform, which was passed to the front army layer by layer. .
The leading captain pulled out the long sword from his waist and shouted at his soldiers: "Enter!" Then he raised his shield, tilted his spear slightly, and marched towards the opposite side in unison to the rhythm of the drums.
But it was each other's trebuchets that caused the other side's casualties first. Of course, this is not the return gun modified by Zhao Kuo, but an ordinary trebuchet.
Three hundred steps, that is the maximum range of the trebuchet! The trebuchets in the coalition camp whirred, and huge stone bullets were ruthlessly thrown into the Qin army's array.
Immediately, there was a mass of casualties. Huge stone bullets rolled wantonly on the flat grass, harvesting the lives of Qin Junjun until they were stuck in the sticky blood and bone stubble.
However, the soldiers of Qin State seemed not to realize it, and they still marched forward in an orderly manner! When the stone bullets paused for a moment, the soldiers at the rear quickly stepped forward to fill the gap damaged by the stone bullets in front, and a complete square formation appeared in front of Zhao Jun again.
At the same time, the Qin Army's trebuchets also began to move. Just because in the battle with the Zhou Dynasty, a lot of trebuchets had been consumed. It was obvious that the number of Qin Army's trebuchets was less than that of the coalition forces. Quite a few.
And things like riprap trucks rely on dense coverage. The Qin army's trebuchets seem to be just a few fewer, but the power is really inferior.
However, this still could not stop the Qin army from advancing. Because, by the time we reach 250 steps, it will be the Qin Army's home court - the Qin Army's large bed crossbow can be most effective at this distance.
"Let go!" Without hesitation, after roughly estimating the distance, the captain of the Qin Army's former army gritted his teeth and waved the red flag in his hand.
Just listen
Dozens of "buzzing" sounds broke through the air, and long arrows as thick as wrists roared and shot straight into the Zhao army's line.
The power of the Qin army's crossbows was not inferior to the boulders of the coalition's catapults. The long arrows fired at a rapid rate could penetrate the armor as if it were nothing and penetrate the body as if it were piercing yarn.
Because of the denseness of the marching army, it was not enough for the long arrow to pierce one coalition soldier. It directly pierced a series of coalition soldiers into a string, and then used inertia to nail the series of bodies to the ground. In the mud, no one was spared.
If they meet head-on, it is almost like death. Even if they are just slightly touching, it will immediately result in being shattered to pieces.
Fortunately, the coalition forces did not stop their march because of the Qin army's crossbows! Two hundred steps later, the crossbowmen on both sides could finally be put to use.
The strong crossbowman of the Qin Army sat on the ground, using his feet as support and his hands as control. He used all his strength to pull the strong spring of the crossbow arrow.
Following the captain's order, a hail of arrows roared towards Zhao Jun. The coalition's crossbowmen took this kneeling position and fired arrows at an angle of 45 degrees upwards.
Almost at the same time, arrows from both sides slammed into the opponent's line. The soldiers who had experienced many battles immediately set up long shields under the command of the captain to cover the march of the troops.
It's a pity that the Qin army's crossbows are obviously faster and sharper. It's just this little difference that really doesn't show up in a round of arrows.
But no matter what, since the beginning of the war, the Qin Army and the Allied Army have achieved good results with one chasing two, and still firmly have the upper hand.
One hundred and fifty steps, that is the world of archers. The actions of the two soldiers are almost exactly the same: holding the long bow in the hand, taking out the arrows from the bag with the backhand, and shooting the arrow in one go.
The elite soldiers on both sides once again demonstrated to everyone the uniformity that a strong army should have, and during this process, the coalition forces obviously did not suffer much loss.
Next, it’s time to fight in close combat! A hundred steps later, the phalanx of shield bearers and spear bearers began to accelerate.
At fifty paces, the shield bearers and spear bearers entered the sprinting stage. Immediately, the banging sound completely ignited the battlefield, and the clanking collision of spears pushed the battlefield to another climax. The battle officially entered the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.
The front line of the coalition is a mixture of forces from the three kingdoms of Wei, Han, and Chu. The Wei army in the center is the strongest, followed by the Han and Chu armies on both sides. The Zhao army's cavalry is still there. In accordance with the requirements of Lian Po and Lord Xinling, he protected the army and waited for the best time to cut in.
Obviously, even though the frontal battle was in full swing, both Li Mu and Meng Ao were determined to hold the trump cards in their hands as much as possible.
But now, what is competing on the battlefield is firstly the tenacity of the soldiers of each army, and secondly the ability of the generals on both sides to catch the other's omissions.
But often in today's battles, even if there is a flaw, the commanders of both sides have to think about whether this is a flaw deliberately exposed by the other side.
However, no one agreed to keep his trump card easily. Defending our country is not so simple.
Of course, relatively speaking, the coalition forces obviously have more considerations than the Qin army. They not only have to control the front, but also constantly calculate the losses of the armies of various countries.
If the Qin army seizes one direction and launches desperate and repeated attacks, the losses of this part of the coalition army are also foreseeable, and retreating will obviously be a good choice due to the huge losses.
Therefore, if you lose an ally due to excessive losses, it is really not worth it. Of course, at the same time, Meng Ao, a former military general, gradually realized a problem: he might not be a match for the veteran opposite him.
Even if he has tried his best and used the soldiers under his command to the utmost, even if the soldiers under his command have obviously paid a huge price.
Obviously, the will quality of the coalition soldiers is not inferior to that of the Qin army, at least among the former army.
Perhaps, this is the reason why General Wang Hao did not let Meng Ao attack directly. Although Meng Ao's command did not make any major mistakes, small mistakes continued. The troops in the north were not replenished in time, and the troops in the south were too dense, which was quite stretched... It was a pity that the opponent he faced, Not the little-known generals of Wei, Han, and Chu, but the hairy General Lian Po.
Lian Po, who was as meticulous as his hair, would never let go of these small mistakes made by Meng Ao. If the troops are not replenished in time, they will take the opportunity to attack fiercely and force the opponent to pay more losses to fill up the front; if the troops are too concentrated, they will use trebuchets and arrow rain to cover them, in order to inflict huge damage to the coalition forces; the accumulation of small mistakes one by one will result in a huge loss. It’s also a big loss.
Fortunately, the Qin army still has enough bed crossbows, which can be used when the coalition forces are about to break through. Even with Lian Po's ability, he could not complete the breakthrough in a short time.
As time went by, the superiority of the Qin army's combat power gradually became apparent. It's not that the elites of Wei, Han, and Chu are not strong enough, it's just that the Qin army is too powerful, even though this Qin army has just experienced a bloody battle with the Zhou Dynasty army.
In just a few hours, the soldiers of the Qin Army had already recovered. What's even more terrible is that the soldiers of the coalition army felt more and more tired the more they fought, but the Qin army was different. They even seemed to be getting more energetic the more they fought.
The heads that fell to the ground were like cups of stimulants, poured into Qin Jun's appetite.
As Meng Ao's command gradually became more mature, even though Lian Po was patching things up, he was still almost unable to plug the loopholes left by the Han and Chu armies.
Helpless, Lian Po could only send an order to the rear: 20,000 Zhao cavalry should move forward and flank the Qin army.
