Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Both sides flew arrows like locusts, shooting back and forth in the mid-air extremely densely. However, after a round of arrow rain, at least hundreds of cavalry and chariot soldiers of the Wei army fell to the ground. Soldiers are significantly less.

In Wei Jun's central formation, the coach Wei Wuji's face sank slightly when he saw this, and he snorted fiercely through his nostrils: "Hu Qi!"

That's right, although it is obvious that the tall old Qin cavalry soldiers are on the chariots of the Qin State, but the cavalry soldiers of the Qin State who are following the chariot soldiers are all rather short in stature, with round flat faces and long noses. , wearing a wide-brimmed folded hat, a jacket with a cross-collared left lapel, tight leather pants and boots, obviously not from Qin, but from the Yiqu and Linhu tribes in the north of Qin.

Both Yiqu and Linhu belong to the nomadic peoples in the north. King Zhao Wuling's "Hufu cavalry and archery" learned from Linhu and Loufan. Therefore, it is really not wrong to say that these Qin cavalry are Huqi .

Obviously, for nomads like the Yiqu people and Linhu people who grew up on horseback since childhood, both riding and shooting skills are far superior to the cavalry of Wei State by several blocks.

I saw these Hu Qimen holding the rein in their left hand and holding the short crossbow in their right hand. While making various dodging movements on the horseback, they fired the short crossbow in their hands very easily. They can often hit five or six arrows out of ten arrows, and the hit rate is extremely high. Incomparable.

Fortunately, these Hu cavalry can only fire one round of salvos in a short period of time. Otherwise, if they can fire several rounds of salvos like infantry, then the cavalry of the Wei army may be directly crushed.

Even when the cavalry on both sides were fighting fiercely, the chariot soldiers were not idle.

The chariots above the chariots of both sides bent their bows and set up arrows one after another, shooting towards the driver of the opposing chariot.

However, the drivers are all wearing heavy armor, and ordinary arrows can't penetrate at all. In addition, many chariots raised their shields to protect each other, so this round of salvos from the chariots on both sides seemed to be lively, but in fact it did not cause any damage. battle damage.

Oh, if you count the chariots whose wheels flew out and then overturned because the road was too bumpy, the battle damage caused by the charge of this round of chariot soldiers can barely exceed single digits

With the continuous passage of the Warring States period, chariot soldiers who were originally important and could even represent a country's military strength have basically been completely marginalized.

After a lively round of shooting, the chariots on both sides began to slow down consciously, waiting for the infantry brigade behind them to catch up.

The sound of dense footsteps began to sound, and the infantry on both sides were like two oncoming turbulent tides, and the distance began to get closer and closer.

One thousand steps, eight hundred steps, five hundred steps

At this moment, the phalanx of Wei soldiers rushing to the forefront of the Wei army suddenly stopped.

The deceleration of Wei Wuzu was unexpectedly fast, but in just a few seconds, the entire phalanx of thousands of Wei Wuzu had come to a complete stop.

Almost at the moment of stopping, the first three rows of Wei soldiers raised their crossbows neatly and aimed at the Qin army in front of them.

The powerful crossbows in the hands of the soldiers of Wei are twelve-stone crossbows, one of the most famous crossbows in the world.

"Shoot!" A five hundred master shouted hoarsely.

"Swish, swish!" The three hundred Wei soldiers fired their crossbows neatly.

At the moment when the Wei soldiers shot the crossbows in their hands, the Qin army's crossbowmen on the opposite side had just lined up.

When the crossbowmen of the Qin army had just finished aiming, the overwhelming crossbow arrows had already fallen from the sky, engulfing the rows of crossbowmen of the Qin army in the front.

A sound of screams sounded from the Qin Army's position. Dozens of hundreds of Qin Army's crossbowmen fell on the spot, and many of them rolled on the ground and cried out in pain.

After firing this round of crossbow bolts, the three rows of Wei soldiers in the front dropped the crossbows in their hands without any hesitation, then pulled out their spears from their backs, and rushed towards the Qin army in front of them.

Just a few seconds after the three rows of Wei soldiers left, another three rows of Wei soldiers continued to join them. At the same position, according to the same order, they launched almost the same wave of long-range crossbow attacks.

Take a step, aim, fire, drop the crossbow, draw the spear, and charge.

Fluid and neat, a hundred people are like one person.

In just 2 minutes, a full twelve rows of Wei soldiers completed their firing, pouring all [-] crossbow bolts into the Qin army's formation.

On the other side, the Qin army was slow step by step, and completely lost in this contest of long-range firepower.

Although Qin obtained many technologies and craftsmen from the two countries during the campaign against Wei and Han, the performance of Qin's crossbows is not inferior to that of Wei's crossbows, and may even be slightly higher than that of Wei's crossbows, but these ordinary soldiers of the Qin army Compared with Wei Wuzu, it is still far worse!

This scene fell into the eyes of Sima Geng, the coach of the Qin Army. Immediately, Sima Geng frowned, and snorted fiercely: "Wei Wuzu? Unexpectedly, there is still Wei Wuzu in Wei today!"

But soon, Sima Geng's brows loosened again, because Sima Geng discovered one thing, that is, although Wei Wuji is strong, it seems that Wei Wuji only has such a thousand soldiers. Wei Wu died.

The difference between [-] Wei Wu soldiers and [-] Wei Wu soldiers is more than ten times.

What's more, no matter how strong Wei Wuzu is, hasn't he suffered a big defeat at the hands of the Qin army?

In just a moment, Sima Geng's heart that was raised by Wei Wuzu's appearance returned to his stomach.

After a long shot, the fierce hand-to-hand combat finally started. The soldiers on both sides slammed together like two tides, splashing countless bloody waves.

The battle reached its climax almost immediately.

The soldiers standing at the front almost fell down in rows, and then the comrades behind them rushed up again, followed by another brutal fight, then fell down again, and then people continued to fill up.

This extremely fierce battlefield has now become a huge meat grinder. The lives of countless soldiers from both sides are continuously filled in and consumed at a rapid rate. It seems that it will never be straightened.

Sima Geng licked his lips, his eyes gradually became serious.

To be honest, this situation was not beyond Sima Geng's expectations, and it can even be said that Sima Geng deliberately wanted to create this situation.

When the two sides on the front line were caught in such a fierce battle, most of Wei Wuji's attention would definitely be on the battlefield.

This will give Sima Geng a chance.

This opportunity will allow Sima Geng to completely defeat Wei Wuji and win this battle!

Sima Geng called the herald and said, "Go and order someone to beat the drum, five times."

Chapter 152 Target - Qin Jun! (first update)

The reason why Sima Geng is so confident, where does his confidence come from?

The answer is actually very simple. Sima Geng's information comes from the secret letter he just read last night and burned with his own hands.

This secret letter came from Daliang City.

To be precise, it was a secret letter sent by the envoy of Qin State who was persuading Wei Wangyu to fight against Zhao State in Daliang City.

Although it is said that the letter was sent by the envoy, this letter was not written by the envoy.

The name of the person who wrote this letter is Zhong Cheng.

It was at this moment, Zhong Cheng who was serving as a vanguard general under Wei Wuji's command.

The meaning of the letter sent by Zhong Cheng is very simple and clear, that is, not everyone in the army of Wei State welcomes Wei Wuji as the coach.

Although it is said that Wei Wuji had eliminated a group of Jin Bi's subordinates when he took power, there are still many people loyal to Jin Bi who are secretly waiting for an opportunity to give Wei Wuji a counterattack.

When the Qin army and the Wei army started a decisive battle outside Yewang City, it was the best moment for Zhong Cheng, a member of the lower Jin faction, to fight back against Wei Wuji.

This is why Sima Geng is full of confidence and feels that he will be able to defeat Wei Wuji.

If Zhong Cheng sent someone to deliver the letter alone, then Sima Geng might still have doubts, but this letter was sent by the envoy of Qin State in Daliang City, so how could there be any problems?

You must know that in this world, internal thieves are always more difficult to guard against than external enemies.
