"The whole army, immediately break out to the north bank of Jishui, cross Jishui and go straight into the mountains and forests, and then reorganize!" Lord Xinling's order came quickly again.
At the same time as the order was issued, Lord Xinling had already led the front army towards the slowly flowing Jishui River.
Seeing Wei Jun running towards the Jishui River desperately, Qin Jun still didn't know what Wei Jun was thinking.
Immediately, both Wang Lu's troops behind him and Meng Ao's cavalry team who came from the west all issued orders to pursue them with all their strength.
A time war between the Qin Army and the Wei Army also started in the darkness before dawn.
All the Wei troops knew that if the Qin troops were allowed to seize the riverbed position, they would face only death.
At the last moment, Wei Jun burst out with a strong desire to survive.
Suddenly, a "ding clang" sound was heard from the advancing Wei army. It was a soldier of the Wei army who decisively gave up his Changge in order to make himself run faster and faster.
After the first one gave up his weapon, there was soon a second one, followed closely by the third, fourth...
Soon, the sound of "ding-rang-rang" sounded one after another in the marching queue, and then, the heavy armor on the body naturally became an obstacle to the forward movement.
Soon, a Wei army with no helmets and armor appeared on the south bank of Jishui.
Obviously, such a force has completely lost the possibility of fighting.
Even if Lord Xinling wanted to stop this, he was unable to do so. What's more, he knew very well in his heart that everything was fake and meaningless now. The most important thing was to get through the water.
Fortunately, the elite infantry around him had not completely lost faith, and still followed his footsteps with their swords in hand.
As long as they cross Jishui, with the more than 10,000 troops around them, they can quickly gather other troops. As long as people are still there, there is still a chance for everything.
Because they lost their helmets and armor, the Wei army's marching speed increased significantly, and they instantly pushed away the infantry led by Wang Lu by a large margin.
Of course, no matter how fast the two-legged Wei army ran, they could not run faster than the Qin army's horses. No matter how fast the war horse is, it can't move faster than the wind-like arrows.
Just when the first batch of Wei troops were about to run to Ji Shui and were about to jump into Ji Shui, bursts of piercing sounds were heard in the air.
Countless arrows rained down almost covering the entire sky!
The dense rain of arrows quickly hit the advancing Wei army like thunder.
The Wei army, which had no shields or armor, had no room to resist these arrows.
He was nailed to the spot by the countless arrows.
Seeing the comrades in front who were shot into hedgehogs, Wei Jun's following team couldn't help but stop their sprint. No one wants to be pierced by thousands of arrows and die, but staying here will only lead to a worse death. Only by rushing down, there may be a glimmer of hope.
But obviously, the Wei army on the battlefield failed to figure out the key.
Just as the troops hesitated for a moment, the second round of arrow rain from the Qin army's horses had already struck!
"Puff, puff, puff", countless comrades died tragically under the Qin army's strong bows and crossbows.
Seeing that the Wei army was about to be persuaded to retreat by the Qin army's arrows, a sharp shout suddenly sounded in the ears of all the troops: "Retreating is a dead end, advancing may be a chance of survival. Gentlemen, follow me and charge!"
Everyone followed the sound and looked, and under the golden light in the air, a red banner was fluttering in the wind.
The soldiers around Lord Xinling immediately acted as human loudspeakers, shouting at the troops: "Everyone, follow me and charge!"
Looking at the boundless darkness behind them, and then at the banner that was already rushing toward the arrows, the soldiers of the Wei army finally summoned up the last bit of courage in their hearts, and followed their banner and rushed forward with their heads covered.
The Qin army's arrow rain is still dense and sharp. Every gust of wind can take away the lives of countless Wei army soldiers, but it can no longer stop the steps of the Wei army soldiers.
"Click...
..."
Finally, someone from the Wei army led by Lord Xinling jumped into the water.
The cold river water in late autumn instantly soaked through the clothes and armor on the body, and the biting chill rushed directly to the top of the head. However, this bone-chilling chill did make Wei Jun feel a little more comfortable and excited as he jumped into the water, and even the speed of crossing the river accelerated a little without realizing it.
Looking at the Wei army in the distance who was "surging in the middle of the water", Wang Lu, who was riding on his horse, also sighed lightly. Even though he tried his best, he still couldn't completely block the Wei army!
However, although it is no longer possible to completely annihilate the Wei army, it is still not a problem to severely damage the Wei army.
Quickly letting himself accept the fact that they could not completely annihilate them, Wang Hao continued to encourage his troops to continue to kill the Wei army.
In fact, the Qin Army no longer needed his encouragement. Seeing that the victory of total annihilation was about to leave them, the soldiers of the Qin Army were even more anxious than the general Wang Lu.
For Wang Lu, this is fighting for the country, for his own honor, and for the status of Qin. But for more Qin army soldiers, this battle means whether the old mother in his hometown can eat If you are full, will the children in your family grow up?
Seeing Wei Jun rushing into the water, it was not Wei Jun who escaped, but his own merits, the food in the mouths of the old mothers and children at home!
Can the soldiers of the Qin army not be anxious?
Even though the main force of the infantry had not yet caught up, and even though they were not familiar with their comrades, the thousands of Qin cavalry soldiers specially mobilized by Wang Hao still urged their horses and ran towards the direction of collecting water.
At the same time, the army that had separated from Meng Ao was once again rushing to try to insert itself into the middle of the Wei army and cut off the army behind them from crossing the river. Even the cavalry with only a few thousand men could pursue the Wei army wantonly on the flanks and rear.
If Lord Xinling and his soldiers are still willing to fight, they only need to dedicate ten thousand people. Not to mention surrounding and annihilating these thousands of cavalry on the spot, they will inevitably pay a heavy price, so that the subsequent infantry will not dare to advance recklessly. .
Unfortunately, the Wei army had completely given up resistance at this time, and was naturally unable to stop the Qin army.
Finally, in no more than a short cup of tea, Meng Ao's cavalry finally came into contact with the defeated Wei army.
Like a hot knife cutting through butter, group after group of Qin army cavalry quickly cut into the Wei army's line.
However, they didn't seem to be killing anyone with long scrolls in their hands, and even turned a blind eye to the Wei army running past him. They have received a death order, which is to quickly penetrate and completely block the main force of the Wei army on the south bank of Jishui.
The 20,000 cavalrymen were like a sharp black blade, piercing into the Wei army's marching column.
The flowing red blood (Wei Jun was wearing red armor) quickly felt the strength of this sharp blade, and the aura that was originally rushing stopped in an instant.
After the insertion, the Qin army quickly formed small formations and began to block the Wei army's escape.
This can no longer be regarded as an interception, it is already a unilateral massacre. How could the Wei army without armor and weapons be the opponent of the Qin army!
Almost instantly, thousands of Wei soldiers died under the Qin army's sword.
And this number is rising at an alarming rate.
At this time, more than ten thousand elite troops led by Lord Xinling had already crossed Jishui, and thousands of Wei troops had crossed with them.
In other words, of the nearly 70,000 troops, less than 15,000 followed Lord Xinling to the north bank of Jishui.
Looking back, countless Wei troops were like moths, plunging into the black net bag of the Qin army, and countless blood flowers flew instantly.
"Array."
Suddenly, a sharp shout suddenly sounded on the north bank of Jishui.
Yes, Lord Xinling, who had just crossed Jishui, did not leave with these fifteen thousand people without looking back.
"The shield soldiers and spear soldiers are in front to protect the formation." Lord Xinling reined in the horse's head, turned around and shouted loudly: "The archers formed a formation quickly! Suppress the Qin army and cover the comrades crossing the river."
Whether it was because there were too few people crossing the river, or because he couldn't bear to see his men being killed.
The Qin army massacred, and Lord Xinling decisively issued orders to the troops crossing Jishui.
Immediately, although the soldiers may have doubts in their hearts, more than 10,000 elite soldiers quickly formed a formation.
Soon nearly five thousand archers were assembled and began to suppress the Qin army on the opposite side with arrows.
Why are there 5,000 archers in an army of 10,000? This is not only because the load of archers is lighter than that of shield soldiers, but also because archers are a technical arm compared to other arms and are also the most powerful. It is difficult to train and the most precious. Naturally, Lord Xinling also keeps this force close to him.
Across the river, only the archers could provide some assistance to the following troops.
The dense rain of arrows quickly caught the Qin army, who was immersed in the killing, by surprise. Hundreds of Qin troops soon fell to the attack of the arrow rain.
The loss of thousands of men was not of concern to the generals of the Qin Army. It was only the damage caused by this round of arrows to the Qin Army's formation that made the generals of the Qin Army even more anxious.
Under this rain of arrows, the red turbulence that had been almost cut off immediately resumed circulation. Although only some of the Wei army broke through the obstruction of the Qin army, it is obvious that this trend is continuing with the invasion of the arrow rain. Expanding.
Turning around and looking at the north bank of Jishui, there was no sign of the Wei army's archers under the row of long shields.
The generals of the Qin army knew very well that with this row of long shields, their few cavalry archers without any protective measures would not be able to suppress the archers of the Wei army. Shooting against them would only cause them heavy losses. .
Forced by helplessness, the cavalry team blocked by the Qin army could only move again, trying to continue to annihilate the Wei army during the movement, and at the same time reduce its own losses.
It should be said that this method is indeed the best way to deal with the Wei army's archers under the current conditions.
However, in this way, with the movement of the Qin army, large and small loopholes and gaps are bound to appear in the originally airtight pipeline. Since there are loopholes and gaps, it is inevitable that fish will slip through the net.
In other words, the losses of the Qin army were small, but the number of Wei troops who fled to the Jishui River gradually increased...
