"Your Majesty, the enemy will not respond."
As soon as he came back, he said something dull, as if it would be boring for him if the enemy didn't fight him.
Xiao Yuan smiled heartily, he really liked Xu Hu's character.
After a pause, he suddenly asked: "Xu Hu, are you hot?"
"Ah?" The latter was stunned for a moment, and then said: "When the king said it, it is true, it is indeed a bit hot."
"Okay, it's hot." Xiao Yuan looked at the sun again.
Then he raised his right hand and made a gesture.
Su Yi understood and immediately shouted in a loud voice: "Prepare the arrow array!"
"Arrow array preparation——"
Military orders were passed down one after another.
Wow! Wow!
The sound of armor scraping together became one, and all the crossbowmen bent their bows and set arrows, drew them to full length, and pointed diagonally upward.
Immediately afterwards, the handsome flag waved.
With a buzzing sound, thousands of arrows were fired together, forming an arrow array. Like black clouds, they passed over the Qin army's camp and shot away quickly.
The densely packed arrows arrived in an instant, overwhelming the sky and the earth, and slammed into the ghost army camp.
But the other party didn't even have the intention to erect a shield.
The tinkling sounds kept coming and going, never stopping at all.
Until the arrow formation ended, when I looked at the ghost army again, no one fell to the ground!
It can be seen from this that how thick the armor of their cavalry is, but similarly, it will be difficult for the soldiers to bear such a heavy load, and every movement will appear extremely strenuous. In fact, this kind of thick armor is not suitable for use on the battlefield, because It limits the soldiers' mobility. Although the defense is thick, it is extremely cumbersome.
When the Spirit King who was watching the battle from behind saw this, his eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face.
"This, how is this possible! The Qin Army's arrow formation is unique in the world, but it can't penetrate armor!?"
Cheng Ping shook his head slightly: "With such a heavy load, it seems invincible, but in fact, it does more harm than good."
On the other side, seeing this situation, Urcha couldn't help but laugh and said triumphantly: "Did you see it? Even the Qin Army's arrow array can't break through the armor. What can the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms do to me?"
Hearing what he said, all the ghost generals on the left and right also became more confident.
On the Qin Jun side, some people were dumbfounded, and some people rubbed their eyes and couldn't believe it.
Xiao Yuan also had a dark look in his eyes.
The general beside him couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"Wait, the enemy army will not move, and our army will not move either. The longer the better." Xiao Yuan said concisely and to the point.
The two armies started on the plain and looked at each other in formation at a sufficient distance.
But not long after, Urcha already frowned: "In such a decisive battle, shouldn't the Qin army launch a charge after the arrow formation? Why has there been no movement?"
The best strategy for the heavily armored cavalry of the Ghost Army is for the opponent to charge first and then use counter-pressure when they are approaching.
Because their load is too high, once they start running, the horses will be exhausted quickly.
But the sun above our heads was too strong, and just standing like this was not an option.
Many of the ghost soldiers were actually sweating profusely, but it was hard to tell because they were covered in heavy armor. In addition, they were suffocated in the armor and couldn't get through the wind at all. You can imagine how uncomfortable they were.
Urcha also wiped the sweat from his forehead, then covered his forehead with his hands and looked at the blazing sun.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The Qin army did not move for a long time.
Some soldiers even took out water bottles from time to time and poured water on their faces. It can be seen that the weather was so hot that even the Qin army couldn't bear the heat, let alone the heavily armored ghost army.
The sun is getting bigger and bigger.
Under the intense sun, the earth was like a furnace.
Under such a scorching sun, many ghost soldiers felt that the air in front of them seemed to be shaking.
"General...General, I can't stand it anymore..." A nearby ghost soldier shouted weakly.
When he first heard this, Wu Ercha was furious. Just as he glared at him, he saw the soldiers sitting on the horses, looking shaky, and he immediately reacted: "No! King Qin is deliberately stalling for time! He wants to tire our army. !”
As for the heavy armor of the Ghost Army, just wearing it on the body, even if standing there motionless, is still a kind of load-bearing.
After shouting, Urcha also stared and shouted: "Withdraw! Get out quickly!"
He realized something was wrong, waved his hands repeatedly, and was the first to turn the horse's head.
But at this moment, how could Xiao Yuan let him go!
On the plains, deafening rumblings began to appear, approaching from far away.
That was the movement caused by the galloping of thousands of horses.
The Lingguo Qingqi was so fast that it entered people's sight almost instantly.
Countless cavalrymen galloped from the left, and the ground seemed to begin to tremble.
Seeing this scene, Urcha's eyes widened.
Should the opponent's light cavalry collide with your own heavy cavalry?
But things were far from being as simple as he thought. After the Lingguo cavalry rushed to the battlefield, branches fell to the ground with leaves on them, like large brooms, galloping all the way, raising billowing dust and smoke.
The ghost army hadn't even figured out what was going on here. Thousands of light cavalry were already galloping past their formation.
Then he walked away from the formation, punched the whole ghost army at a gallop, and returned the same way.
During this time, the speed was too fast! The heavy cavalry of the ghost army was unable to react at all.
The dust filled the sky and filled the entire battlefield, covering the ground so much that it was almost impossible to see even one's fingers.
Someone started coughing violently.
Someone was desperately waving the dust in front of their eyes.
Someone screamed in panic.
The horse was frightened and began to neigh.
Pushed back and forth, they couldn't clearly see the situation in front of them. Soon someone was tripped to the ground, and what followed immediately after was being heavily ridden by one's own side and being crowded and trampled to death.
But the screams immediately made the ghost army even more panicked.
"There are enemies! There are enemies—"
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the screams became more and more loud. Before the battle, the ghost army was already in chaos.
Urcha was at the front. The dust here was thicker and he couldn't see the surroundings clearly either. He kept shouting:
"Don't be confused! Don't panic—"
But his shout was almost instantly drowned out by the panicked screams around him.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Yuan was also on the war horse and fiercely drew the King of Qin Sword.
"Chariots out of battle——"
With an order, the Qin army soldiers behind them immediately split into two parts from the middle.
One after another, four-horse chariots, pulled by three or five war horses, ran out of the formation, dragging huge maces and other things behind them, and rushed madly towards the ghost army formation.
With the rumbling sound, the ground shook again.
The war horse's eyes were blindfolded and its tail was set on fire. In pain, it just ran as fast as it could, and the distance between the two sides quickly closed.
"What's coming!? What's coming!?"
At this time, the ghost army was still in chaos, but the sound of racing chariots could naturally be heard.
This time, everyone was even more panicked.
But before they could see clearly, the chariot rushing at the front had slammed into a row of heavy riders.
There was a roar, and there was chaos. The heavy cavalry was knocked away by the chariot. The chariot overturned, and the mace smashed into the crowd, and the scope of the damage was unknown.
The screams became one in an instant.
