After paying tens of thousands of lives, the Zhao army finally reached the west bank of Danshui.

Such a small price was far beyond the expectations of Zhao Kuo and the Zhao army generals.

Yes, the price of tens of thousands of people is indeed not that high, at least not as high as Zhao Kuo and Lian Po expected.

Of course, it is due to the interception of the Dan River, which speeded up the efficiency of the army's crossing of the river. It is also due to the morning mist that caused the Qin army's strongest bows and arrows to fail to exert their maximum effect. Perhaps it is also due to the Zhao army's soldiers charging into the battle fearlessly.

.

However, Zhao Kuo knew clearly that the greatest contribution was probably made by the top brass of the Qin Army.

Whether the action of cutting off the Dan Shui can be hidden from the Qin army is obviously not possible, especially since the commander on the opposite side is Bai Qi, who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Even in the dry season, he will not fail to pay attention to the level of the Dan Shui's water level;

The Qin Army should have a plan to face the morning attack or even the night attack calmly. Although the Qin Army's response today is not unpleasant or inappropriate, it is obviously not doing its best.

The reality is similar to what Zhao Kuo imagined.

Faced with the dense rain of arrows from the Qin army, the Zhao army was suppressed on the river and could not even raise its head. Less than half of them could rush to the east bank, and there was no need to think about siege equipment and other baggage. If they continued to fight,

I'm afraid that if you can't even touch the barrier, Danshui will become Zhao Jun's tomb.

Through the hazy fog, Wang Hao and Ying Shi looked at Zhao Jun who was still unable to land. They were a little anxious. They wanted to slow down the arrow rain several times! What should they do if Zhao Jun was pushed back directly?

!

Fortunately, there are also brave generals among the Zhao army. Under the leadership of these captains, the vanguard of the Zhao army finally set foot on the west bank of Danshui, and new challenges were immediately placed on the desks of both parties.

The first group of Zhao troops to land on the west bank of Danshui were the cavalry and the archers they carried.

As soon as they arrived on the shore, the archers were put down. Groups of archers quickly got together. Under the leadership of their respective corps commanders and chiefs, they quickly adjusted their bows and arrows.

While adjusting the bow and arrow, under the command of the school captain, a square formation was quickly formed.

At this time, the Qin army's arrow array was whizzing through their heads.

In an instant, there was a sound like dumplings falling into the water behind them. The whistling rain of arrows was the best reminder. Before the first scream came from behind, the bow and arrow were already in their hands.

Waiting for an order from the commanding captain.

"Take it!" Seeing that most of his subordinates were ready, the captain, who was sharp-sighted and quick-handed, immediately shouted an order!

The sounds of "papa papa..." were heard one after another, and the archers lowered their heads one after another. The long arrows already prepared in their right hands were placed on the long bows. In just a moment, on the west bank, the phalanx of Zhao Army's archers burst out.

Powerful breath.

"Pilot!" The captain picked up the command flag in his hand and ordered loudly from the other side.

Upon hearing the order, Zhao Jun's archers used both hands to hold the bow, and adjusted the angle of the arrow. The biceps of their right hand swelled up, and they drew the powerful bow at a 45-degree angle.

Looking at the Qin army's west bank barrier in the distance.

"Let go!" The red command flag in the captain's hand suddenly fell, and a brief order was blurted out.

Following the captain's order, Zhao Jun's arrows soared into the sky. Under the increasingly clear sunlight, they met Qin Jun's arrows in the air. One side headed for the Qin Army's barrier, and the other side headed for the water surface of Danshui.

Come!

Thousands of arrows flew into their respective camps. Almost at the same time, wails and screams came from two directions.

Obviously, the power of the Zhao army's arrow rain is not inferior to that of the Qin army. It is well known that the Qin army's arrows are sharp, and the Zhao army's arrow rain can be so powerful. On the one hand, it is because of the first batch of bows.

The soldiers and officers are the elite of Zhao's army, and the bow that counts stones cannot be fired at a moment's notice.

Of course, on the other hand, it also shows that the weapons of Zhao State are not inferior to those of Qin State. After all, there are many iron mines in Zhao State, and the iron tools, especially weapons, produced by Zhao State were also top-selling in the Warring States Period (second only to Han State,

Qin won’t sell it!)

There are many generous and tragic people in Yan and Zhao, but how can a strong man not have good weapons?

This is also one of the important reasons why Zhao State was able to fight back and forth with the Qin army after the disastrous defeat in Changping.

The Qin archers who were standing on top of the city and slaughtering the Zhao army on the river could not have imagined that Zhao's counterattack was so fast and fierce.

Caught off guard, an arrow rain attack brought great losses to the Qin army, even more serious losses than the Qin army caused to the Zhao army.

Although the number of archers of the Zhao Army is still insufficient compared to the Qin Army, firstly, the Zhao Army has moving targets above the Danshui, and its marching speed is not slow. Secondly, the Zhao Army has experienced a rain of arrows, and they have taken protective measures such as raising shields.

The Qin army was unprepared and stood densely in a square formation without any protective measures.

Comparing the two, in this round of arrow rain, it was the Zhao army that had the upper hand, while the Qin army's archers on the barrier suffered heavy losses.

This coke has ruined the generals - Qin and Zhao!

Needless to say, Zhao Jun has the upper hand, and in this precious time, more Zhao Jun can cross the Dan River and touch the Qin Army's barrier!

But the top generals of the Qin army were also happy. What they were thinking was: Hey, finally there is no need to let go anymore. It should be able to attract the Zhao army. My archers have been severely damaged. Come and attack me quickly.

!

However, it is the soldiers who are suffering - no matter Qin or Zhao!

The pain, death and injury all belong to the soldiers below. Wails and calls for help resounded along the Danshui River. Whether it was the Qin army's barrier or the water surface of the Danshui River, it was a hell-like scene with broken arms and limbs bleeding profusely.

Compassion does not lead to soldiers - it is more than just a few words on a piece of paper!

However, the fighting continues and so does the suffering.

Without having time to celebrate, they briefly suppressed the Qin army's archers on the barrier. The Zhao army on the west bank of Danshui quickly adjusted their formation under the leadership of the school captain. The large square formation was divided into several small square formations, cut in the middle.

The space opened is for subsequent troops to move in.

Adjusting the formation at their feet, they did not dare to stop their efforts. Just after standing still, Zhao Jun's archers immediately began a new round of suppression. They knew very well that although they briefly interrupted Qin Jun's arrows

Rain, but the strongest soldier in the Seven Kingdoms, is not just talk.

The Qin army on the barrier was hit by the Zhao army's arrows. After a brief period of confusion, they quickly counterattacked - the auxiliary soldiers carried the injured and dead archers off the barrier. The uninjured archers quickly gathered together and gathered in front of their respective captains.

Make adjustments under command.

"point!"

The captain waved the flag in his hand, and the Qin Army's archer phalanx moved in response, quickly decomposing into a number of small square formations from large square formations. The Zhao Army's archers who had just suppressed the Qin Army would also face their nightmare.
