The Battle of Changping Chapter 035
The Qin Army was worthy of being the most elite force in the Warring States Period. It had already made plans for the Zhao Army's attack. The hot-tempered captain quickly organized his troops and was ready to go to the fortress for reinforcements at any time.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire West Bank barrier defense line rumbled into action like a war machine.
As for the Qin army on duty above the barrier, it was already in full swing. The sounds of men and horses neighing, the sound of armor rubbing against metal, the creaking of wooden transport carts, the collision of arrows being carried and lowered, and the clang of swords being unsheathed all merged together.
together.
The Qin army's barrier in the mist was like a giant beast that had been awakened. It slowly opened its giant eyes and looked at the sharp edge of the Zhao army not far away. It showed no fear at all, but slowly revealed its sharp fangs.
, and then stretched out its strong arms, as if to take Zhao Jun into its arms, and then slowly consume and devour him bit by bit.
Although some people were frightened, no one was afraid.
In the eyes of the Qin army's officers and men, the vast Zhao army was nothing more than military exploits.
However, this attack is obviously different from previous attacks.
Zhao Jun's military camp was like a bow with a crescent moon. Taking advantage of the early morning mist, it shot three thick and fiery red arrows towards Qin Jun's Danshui defense line.
The arrow and the shield collided quickly, and the collision caused the earth to shatter!
Except for Zhao Kuo, no one knew that China's history would be completely rewritten from this moment on!
"Quick, quick, speed up to cross the river!" Captain Zhao Jun urged his soldiers.
The clattering horse's hooves almost broke the alchemy water.
Zhao Jun's first wave of attack was composed entirely of cavalry. It was not that the cavalry attacked the city directly, but to reach the barrier as quickly as possible.
The Zhao army had many cavalrymen. Even the soldiers who could not ride horses were put on horses by the cavalry army. They had only one goal: to quickly cross the river under the mist, penetrate under the Qin army's barrier on the west bank, and establish a defensive line and the west bank.
advance base.
Zhao Jun's speed was very fast, and Qin Jun's reaction was not slow either.
Soon, a uniform roar from the Qin army crossed the sky!
"Wind! Strong wind!"
What followed was a pouring rain of arrows!
Although blocked by mist, the arrows that the Qin army was proud of were still not vegetarian - since they couldn't strike accurately, they should cover them with firepower.
Looking up, it looked like a bunch of locusts passing by in the gloomy sky. Under the weak sunlight, the triangular arrows glowed with cold light, like an airtight starlight net, blocking Zhao Jun's efforts to cross the river.
The main force shrouded it, and there was a suffocating feeling of despair.
That's right, the Qin army wants to win with quantity.
Any tidal flats or rivers where the voices and figures of the Zhao army were heard could not escape the covering attack of the Qin army's arrows.
Zhao Jun, who was still marching, was unable and unable to counterattack.
"Raise your shield, lower your head, and speed through!" Another Zhao Jun captain on the side whipped his mount and yelled to remind his soldiers to protect themselves.
The sergeant of the Zhao army held up his hand shield, whipped his horse and charged quickly, so that he could quickly escape from this purgatory-like river. This was a method that the Zhao army had no choice in.
However, the Qin army's arrows were not ordinary. They passed through the mist and drew a beautiful curve in the air. Each arrow fell into the Zhao army's line at an extremely fast speed. Fortunately, it was blocked by the shield.
However, more arrows mercilessly penetrated the not-so-thick armor and pierced directly into the body of Sergeant Zhao.
Amid the clanging sounds of collisions, screams, falling water, cries for help, and roars were all mixed together.
The originally clear elixir water quickly turned red with blood.
Looking at the comrades who kept falling into the water in front of me, and listening to the cries for help that kept coming from my ears, I would be lying if I said I didn't feel bad. But there is no way, no matter Qin or Zhao, whoever wants to attack must face the "Dan Shui"
Difficult road.
There is no way, rushing over is the only way to survive! Beach landing has always been the most difficult issue in war. This was the case in the era of cold weapons. The defender almost had an overwhelming advantage. As long as it was not destroyed by a surprise attack, after reacting
An absolute nightmare for landing troops.
The landing troops have no other choice but to use their lives to fill a path. The path filled with the lives of their comrades will soon be suppressed by fire again. Therefore, speed is the most important factor for beach landing.
Go!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Don't hesitate, keep going forward!
Not only the captain and captain of the Zhao army on the side urged the soldiers to advance, but the deputy generals, admirals and even the craftsmen who were still working at the rear were shouting in their hearts.
We all know that speed is the key to attack, but with the resistance of elixirs below and the constant rain of arrows above, it is not easy to overcome the fear in our hearts. Even the army as strong as Zhao and Qin will inevitably falter in such a battle.
Hesitant.
Faced with the fear of death, the soldiers would inevitably stamp their feet, and even the horses under their crotches might be afraid to move forward, although they also knew that staying would only make it more dangerous.
At this time, the role of the general comes to the fore.
A rational general will give the most correct instructions to his soldiers at this time. A general who takes the lead can also set the best example for his soldiers.
The reason why the armies of Qin and Zhao were so strong was obviously because they had many generals like this.
"Come on me!" an angry cry broke out among Zhao Jun.
Immediately afterwards, a white horse jumped out from among the horses. The man on the horse, wearing heavy armor, lay low on the horse's back. He held a shield and beard in one hand to protect the horse's head and his own vitals, and held a gun in the other hand.
Sweeping away the scattered arrows around, and facing the dense rain of arrows from the Qin army, they took the lead and were about to rush to the west bank.
Obviously, this sentence of "Come on me" that dares to be the first is much more effective than the thousands of "Come on me" that are behind you.
The power of example is always infinite. With the captain setting an example, the soldiers of the Zhao Army under his command naturally followed the captain and sprinted.
The moment the white horse set foot on the west bank, the cavalrymen behind him also followed suit. They all lowered their bodies, clamped their legs heavily on the horse's belly, and whipped the horse's butt with the long whip in their hands.
The horse seemed to feel the owner's fear of death. Of course, it was more likely that it succumbed to the owner's merciless whipping. Under the pain, it immediately became crazy, and all four hooves worked together, and both the horse and the horse rushed towards it.
Then he sprinted towards the west bank without hesitation.
One, two, three...
More and more Zhao Jun cavalry finally arrived on the west bank of Danshui.
Just as more and more Zhao troops crossed the Dan River and the battlefield situation became prosperous, the originally thin mist finally couldn't withstand the warm sunshine and gradually dissipated.
As visibility improved, Zhao Jun, who had just crossed Danshui, faced a more severe test.
Chapter completed!
