Chapter 87 Allied Forces Temporarily Retreat

Soon after, the letter of war, written by the Qin Army's general Zhang Xi, was sent to the coalition camp more than ten miles away.

Sitting in the position of the general of the Chinese army's tent, his eyes slowly moved over the letter of challenge in his hand. An extremely calm expression appeared on Gongsun Cuo's face.

After looking at it for a long time, Gongsun Cuo put down the letter of challenge in his hand and glanced at the coalition generals below.

"Generals, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army has written a letter of war and asked us to wait for a decisive battle in three days. What do you think, generals?"

As soon as Gongsun Cuo finished speaking, Zhao Ye, the commander of the Zhao army who was sitting on his left, immediately stood up and began to express his opinions.

"After several days of rest, the morale of our army has also recovered. Since the Qin army wants to fight, then our coalition forces will fight with him."

The expression on Zhao Ye's face became more and more excited. He turned to look at Gongsun Cuo above and heard him say loudly: "I, the Zhao army, are willing to listen to General Gongsun's orders."

Seeing that Zhao Ye had made his attitude clear, Korean Sima Han Yue on the other side also stood up and gave a military salute to Gongsun Cuo who was in charge.

"We, the Korean army, are also willing to obey General Gongsun's orders, and we dare not make any excuses."

"color!"

A cheer sounded in the big tent, and then Gongsun Cuo stood up from his position as commander, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

"Everyone will obey the order."

"The end will be here."



"Woo...Woo...Woo..."

Long bursts of horn sound spread in all directions, announcing that a war was about to come to this land.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

The sound of passionate war drums resounded throughout the entire phalanx, igniting the war fire that had been building up for a long time in the hearts of the participating soldiers.

Suddenly, a gust of breeze blew from a distance, blowing over the various armors worn by the soldiers of the Three Jin Alliance, and blowing the red banner at the rear of the Wei army's formation.

On top of a chariot under the red banner, Gongsun Cuo, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, was looking at the black army with his own eyes.

Before today, Gongsun Cuo, who had never fought against the Qin army, still had the same impression of this army as the battle between Yin and Jin twenty years ago.

The battle in which Qin Huigong mobilized all the troops of the country to attack the Yin and Jin Dynasties in Wei State not only established the reputation of Wu Qi and Wei soldiers, but also gave the Wei army an innate sense of superiority over the Qin army.

Today, twenty years later, those elite soldiers in the Wei army who have experienced that battle will still talk about the great victory they achieved that year.

However, when Gongsun Cuo actually stood in the position of the general and faced off against a Qin army wearing black armor in front of him, his face couldn't help but look solemn.

He could feel that the Qin army in front of him was no longer the weak army in his impression, and was even defeated by the Wei army whose strength was far smaller than his.

After twenty years of hard work, it was not only the Qin State in the West that gradually emerged, but its army also seemed to have been reborn.

However, when facing the Qin army in front of him, although Gongsun Cuo had a solemn look on his face, he was not at all afraid in his heart. On the contrary, Gongsun Cuo was extremely excited to be able to fight against such an army.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

A rhythmic sound of war drums came from the opposite side, and the black banner was waving rapidly in the wind. Seeing this scene, Gongsun Cuo knew that the Qin army's offensive was about to begin.

His right hand slowly climbed up to the hilt of the sword hanging at his waist. There was a solemn expression on his face, and a clear sound of the sword was heard on the battlefield.

The long sword was pointed directly at the approaching black Qin army in the distance, and Gongsun Cuo shouted in a deep voice: "All the soldiers in the army, listen to my order..."

"Meet the enemy!"

Gongsun Cuo's order sounded, and the red banner behind him was waved rapidly, and together with the light cavalry galloping in the square formation, the general's order was passed to every soldier.

Listening to the orders that kept ringing in their ears, the coalition soldiers in the phalanx looked solemn, and their hands tightly grasped the sharp weapons in their hands.

One soldier, a row of elites, a square formation...

Within a short period of time, every soldier in the phalanx was ready, and a solid copper wall and iron wall had already stood on this battlefield.

The coalition forces on this side completed preparations for the battle, and the Qin army on the other side did not stop its attack.

Elites in black armor were used as sharp arrows, numerous soldiers used for assault were used as arrow shafts, and finally the light cavalry on both sides responsible for harassment were used as tail feathers.

The entire Qin army's formation turned into a sharp arrow, shooting straight at the 30,000 coalition soldiers arrayed on the opposite side to meet the enemy.

"The crossbowmen are ready..."

When the front of the Qin army's formation came within its firing range, the Han army, which was famous for its strong bows and crossbows among the three Jin coalition forces, first launched an attack.

"put!"

As loud orders sounded in the square formation, countless arrows were thrown forward from under the green flags.

A few breaths later, when these arrows fell in the Qin army's square formation, accompanied by continuous wailing sounds, one Qin soldier fell on the path of his attack.

However, the speed of the Qin army's formation did not slow down at all because of the Korean army's arrows. They almost rushed forward against the waves of arrows that were like raindrops.

After enduring countless arrows from the Korean army, the Qin army on the opposite side finally arrived in front of the square formation of the three Jin coalition forces.

"kill……"

Angry roars rang out on the battlefield, and soldiers wearing various armors fought together at this moment.

Every minute and every second that passes slowly, on this small battlefield, the bloodshed of war and the fragility of life are constantly being staged.

Every time a cry was heard, every time the sword was thrust out, a soldier would fall to the ground.

This soldier may belong to the Wei army, the Zhao army, or the Han army. Of course, he may also be a Qin army.



Still standing on the chariot, Wei General Gongsun Cuo watched a famous soldier fall in front of him, and there was no trace of excitement in his eyes.

Only that terrifying coldness always appeared in his eyes.

Suddenly, the anxious voice of the deputy general next to him appeared in Gongsun Cuo's ears, "General, look, the Qin army is attacking quickly, and the Korean army's defense line on the flanks seems to be a little unstable."

Turning his gaze slightly to the right from the still anxious Wei army formation in front of him, Gongsun Cuo saw that under the fierce offensive of the Qin army, the Han soldiers on the flanks were indeed retreating to the rear step by step.

"General, our rear troops have not been used yet, and the general is willing to lead troops to reinforce us."

After Gongsun Cuo listened to the deputy general's request, he did not express his agreement or objection, but there was a flash of thought in his eyes.

After a long silence, while the deputy general was waiting for Gongsun Cuo's order to attack, an order he did not expect appeared in his ears.

"Ming Jin, withdraw the troops."
