Chapter 90 Bloody Battle Changpingguan 3
Under Changping Pass, tens of thousands of Wei infantry were waiting for him.
In front of the Wei army's position, more than a dozen tall siege cars stood tall.
Under the command of their respective generals, the Wei army formation gradually took shape.
In the first row, the most powerful crossbowmen were listed in front of the formation, followed by the more arrogant and domineering bed crossbow.
Later, there were the infantry of the Wei army, and by their side were all kinds of siege equipment.
The weather is gloomy today, and it is a good time to attack the city.
Behind the Wei army, under heavy protection, the Marquis of Wei stood under the flag and looked ahead calmly.
"Today, we will surely put the Qilin flag on the block." Wei Hou's voice was loud and resolute.
A fierce attack and quick battle are the attack principle set by the Marquis of Wei. It requires that the generals of all divisions must cooperate closely and strive to defeat the enemy with the strongest attack strength.
This war has been delayed for too long and the consumption of the national treasury is too great.
"Your Majesty, the generals of each unit have sent troops to inquire whether to attack?" However, the visitor was Wei Chengze, who was demoted to a clerk.
After being removed from office for a long time, he also adapted to his current position, with only humility and peace left on his face.
"The command of all departments to use the central army to beat drums as their horns, and they must do their best and make a decision in one battle." The Marquis of Wei's voice was deep and he was unquestionable.
"Yes." Wei Chengze bowed to his father and then retreated.
...
In front of the Wei army, the soldiers of various units were ready and were just waiting for the central army to issue orders.
In this battle, the Wei army dispatched a total of 40,000 infantrymen, while archers and infantrymen each accounted for 20,000.
If it weren't for the terrain, the Marquis of Wei would probably send more troops.
The strategic policy of the Wei army is to carry out the most powerful attack with overwhelming strength.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
Amid the expectations of the Wei soldiers, the drums of the central army finally rang out.
"Big shield hands cover, crossbowmen attack..."
Amid the high shouts of military officials, the Wei army began to act in the front.
Thick shields were raised, and the archers in front were shrouded under the strong shield.
Due to the limited range of the archers, their formation must be moved forward in order to shoot their arrow feathers to Changping Pass.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
The sound of the soldiers' footsteps was already the sound of the big shields clattering, making a shocking sound.
Even if it is far away, the Marquis of Wei can catch all these roars in his ears.
This also made Wei Hou, who was invisible in his daily mood, rarely show excitement.
The long-cherished wishes of Mr. Mu and Mr. Cheng must be fulfilled in their own hands, and Mr. Wei will not be able to calm down any longer.
"The ancestors of the Great Wei Dynasty, let's see Hongyi carry forward the Wei Kingdom!" Wei Hou murmured.
The first goal is that the Marquis of Wei will remove the Marquis on his head and replace it with a public seat.
Among the five powerful countries in the world, only Wei, the chief power, is still a marquis, which is the most unacceptable thing for Wei Hou.
"Ji Zhao, I think who will come to protect you this time?" Wei Hou gritted his teeth.
If you want to talk about it, Ji Zhao here is the current Emperor of Great Zhou, who is the common ruler of the world.
Without the obstacles from Changping Pass, Chen State was like half of paper in front of Wei Hou, and there was no natural barrier in the Zhou Dynasty.
Not to mention the inner ambitions of Wei Hou, the war on the front line of the Wei army had begun.
After the archers entered the Qin army's range, the Wei army's crossbow troops began to fire to cover the army's advance.
"Soon..."
A crossbow near the front began to roar and emitted a terrifying feathered arrow nearly two meters long.
The enhanced version of the long arrow that flies quickly to Changping Pass.
Since it was a test shot, many arrows were shot through the moment and fell behind.
But the big arrows falling on the city wall caused great damage to the Qin army on the city wall.
Each arrow can basically be worn with two, or even three Qin soldiers.
The unlucky guy who is shot will be brought out several meters by the subsequent power of the feather arrow.
"Adjust adjust and prepare to shoot again..." The military officers shouted loudly in the Wei army's crossbow formation.
At Changping Pass, although the Qin soldiers were frightened by the power of the Wei army's military peak, they still mustered up the courage to shoot down a feathered arrow to block the Wei army's archers' advance.
But even so, the Qin army's arrows could not cause trouble to the Wei army's archers. Most of their attacks were blocked by large shields.
The Wei army archers moved forward steadily, and it was difficult for the Qin army soldiers to block them.
At this time, the Wei army's crossbow fired again, causing a whistling sound.
The Qin army's attack was once again stagnant.
At this time, standing behind the heavy shield, Gu Jian's heart began to sink.
Although the Wei army is just attacking the crossbow now, Gu Jian can foresee the thunder attack that will erupt later.
"I'm notifying Wei Zheng quickly and ask him to send troops to support quickly. Our army may not be able to resist it for long." Gu Jian shouted to the messenger beside him.
Just as the Qin and Wei sides shot, the Wei army crossbowmen had reached the predetermined position.
At this time, only fifty or sixty crossbowmen were shot and killed by the Wei army.
However, nearly a hundred Qin troops were killed by crossbows.
When all the Wei army archers were in place, the infantry in the rear also began to advance.
They pushed huge siege cars and lengthened ladders and slowly drove towards Changping Pass.
"Each division follows the order, the feather arrows are full of strings, ready to launch..."
Amid the shouts of the military officers, the Wei army archers drew out iron arrows and pulled the bows full of strings.
"Shocking shield..."
In front, the Wei army's big shield hand put down the big shield on its head amid the loud roars of the military officers.
At the same time, a sharp "release" sounded in the Wei army's archers formation.
As soon as the word "功" was roared, nearly ten thousand archers all released their strings, and a wave of rain of arrows enveloped the entire sky.
"Do not to avoid..."
At Changping Pass, the roars of Qin generals and officials rang everywhere.
When the arrow rain flew, there were always people who could not find a place to hide. When the arrow rain fell, nearly 300 Qin soldiers were killed instantly.
At this time, the archers who put down the big shield were also pulled over their longbows. After the first wave of arrow rains of the Wei army fell, the second wave was ready to be released.
"put……"
The howling sound was loud, and another black curtain was covered like the Qin army on Changping Pass.
"Soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-soon-so
The endless feather arrows fell, and many Qin soldiers died tragically.
But compared to the first wave of attacks, only fifty or sixty Qin soldiers were shot and killed because everyone was properly dodged.
At the same time, the third wave of attacks by the Wei army was ready.
"put……"
Amid the roars of the Wei army officers, a whistling sound broke out loud.
In this way, under the strong attack of the Wei army, the Qin soldiers were firmly suppressed behind the battlements.
Gu Jian's guards were also shot and killed. At this time, he was full of despair towards defending this pass.
"Have the central army sent people to help?" Gu Jian said to the side guards.
"General, General Ying Hui is under the custody, but he cannot come up at this time." The guard replied.
That's right, under Changping Pass, Ying Hui's army was waiting there.
Going to Changping Pass is a living target, so Ying Hui will naturally not be stupid.
He could only wait. The Wei army's arrow rain always had an end, and that was the real beginning of the war.
When the Wei army infantry walked to the front of the arrow formation, the strength of the Wei army's bows and arrows weakened a lot.
The Qin soldiers on the lockdown finally had a chance to breathe.
Chapter completed!
