The Battle of Changping Chapter 042
Sure enough, not long after, the roaring Qin army's arrow rain came with a vengeance, and the clanging sound resounded across the battlefield again. Because the Zhao army was prepared, the Qin army's arrow rain did not have the desired effect. Of course, because
After all, the hand shield is small in area, and it is shared by two or three people. It can only protect key parts such as the head and neck. Although it is slightly protected, it is not unscathed.
But obviously, this casualty is not enough to shake Zhao Jun's determination and pace of advancement.
Just as the rain of arrows passed, the captain shouted "Enter!"
The generals in the infantry square quickly took advantage of the gap between the Qin army's bows to advance, while the archers took advantage of this gap to immediately raise their bows and counterattack the Qin army again.
In this way, Zhao Jun steadily advanced towards the barrier.
The first ones to arrive under the barrier were Zhao Jun's cavalry. Bags of earth and rocks were thrown under the barrier, and then trodden under the hooves of the cavalry that followed.
Then throw it, then step on it!
Finally, after suffering nearly one-third of the battle losses, Zhao Jun's "iron cavalry" finally paved the slope to rush up the barrier. The iron cavalry retreated successfully, and the archers detoured to both sides to continue to protect the infantry phalanx.
And this steep slope has become a stage for war riding.
The war cavalry in the distance started to speed up at some point, almost flying down the slope. Stepping on the corpses of their companions and the slope paved with earth and rocks, a group of war cavalry fiercely charged into the Qin army's barrier. However,
The sword fighting and wanton, one-sided massacre in plain battles did not appear on the ramparts.
Because of the feint, the speed advantage of the war horses was immediately weakened by 70%, and the war horses were tall, and the advantage of using high to defeat low was also wasted for this reason. In addition, the Qin army was specially designed to restrain the cavalry.
Qin-made long sword designed!
Under this attack, Zhao Jun's cavalry failed to gain much advantage.
But now, Zhao Jun has no other choice but to meet on a narrow road and the brave will win!
Facing the cold sword of Qin Jun, Zhao Jun's cavalry did not hesitate at all. There was no slowdown at all. One by one, they clamped the horse's belly heavily, and the horses galloped straight up to the barrier. The huge impact was instantaneous.
He knocked away several Qin soldiers who were standing in front of him.
Although Zhao Jun himself was knocked off his horse by the force of the counterattack (without stirrups, he could not survive the attack), he was obviously knocked to pieces.
However, the surrounding Qin troops rushed up like sharks that had smelled the scent of flesh and blood. One, two... five, ten... more and more Qin troops rushed towards the Zhao Jun on the barrier.
The cavalry were besieged on the ramparts.
The Zhao army's cavalry were worthy of being elite. After a slight adjustment of their internal organs that had been knocked out of place, they swallowed a mouthful of thick blood and continued to fight with the Qin army. The long sword in their hands slashed left and right, and cut off with one blow.
He picked up a few spears, chopped up several Qin soldiers with one strike, and lost count of how many sword blows he had caught with the small shield in his hand...
In the limited space, Zhao Jun's cavalry showed off their riding skills and tactics.
However, there are too many Qin soldiers!
Several gaps had been cut on the fine-quality blade made of fine iron, and only a slag of wood was left in the hand shield, hanging alone on the bloody left hand...
The riding skills that he boasted about have been completely deformed, and only the primitive instinct drives him to continue fighting and slashing!
With a pop, a red spear tip strung out from the chest;
With a squeaking sound, the long sword slashed across his waist; streams of yellow and white stuff mixed with blood flowed all over the ground.
The strength quickly drained from the wound, and the cavalry exerted their last courage, flicked away the surrounding sharp blades, clamped their legs under the horse's belly, and tried to rush towards the deeper barrier to make room for the following cavalry.
However, the legs of the horse were quickly cut off by the Qin army, and he himself fell off the horse. He rolled around and tried to stand up. When he turned his head, several pairs of spears and long swords appeared in front of him.
My journey has come to an end.
The sun is really hot today.
I didn't perform well when it was hot! I will definitely choose a cloudy day when it's not hot in my next life, and I'll kill Qin Gou again!
"Kill!" Zhao Jun's cavalry tried hard to send out the last cry, but unfortunately an arrow was stuck in his throat at some point. No matter how hard he tried, he could not make a sound. Only the long sword held high silently declared his bravery.
.
"Kill!" The sound that the Zhao army's cavalry failed to make soon came from the middle of the Qin army's barrier.
That was when Zhao Jun's infantry finally reached the barrier. Under the protection of layers of shield soldiers, ladders were set up on top of the barrier. Before the arrow towers were in place, Zhao Jun's jumping soldiers had already jumped out and climbed up quickly.
Climb the ladder and jump onto the barrier, followed by infantry, leaving only the shield soldiers under the ladder to protect the base.
The saying "Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day" is most appropriate for them.
However, what greeted them was scalding golden juice and huge rolling logs and rocks.
Ah! The smelly and hot gold juice poured down, and one of the several foot soldiers was accidentally poured down on his head. He was instantly burned and lost the ability to move. He fell down from the ladder. If he was lucky, he could climb higher.
, fell down and died immediately. If he was unlucky, he fell down and broke a few ribs, but he had to suffer from the golden juice - holding his head, hunched over and rolling on the ground, screaming.
When the soldiers around him saw this situation, they couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts. However, no one dared to step forward until Shi Chang arrived and confirmed that there was no value in rescuing him. Only then did he end his suffering with a knife.
Although the pain of the gold juice made all Zhao soldiers feel numb, the battle continued.
With two oohs to cheer himself up, Zhao Jun climbed up the ladder again.
On the top of the barrier, hundreds of kilograms of rolling wood and rocks were immediately thrown down from a high place by the Qin army. Fearing that the damage would be insufficient, they even deliberately left sharp corners on the rolling wood, so that the bones and tendons were broken when hit.
, even if it is rubbed, the skin and flesh will peel off immediately, which is extremely painful.
However, none of these could stop Zhao Jun.
Several elite Tiaodang soldiers, holding long knives in their mouths, using their hands almost like apes, climbed up the ladder in three leaps. The golden juice was poured down, and the Tiaodang soldiers immediately hung on the ladder with one hand, half
His body hung outside the ladder to avoid the attacks of gold juice and rolling wood and rocks. When the Qin army's attack stopped, he turned over and jumped onto the ladder. With a bound, he was already on the barrier.
With one strike of the sword, several Qin soldiers who poured out golden juice instantly lost their lives;
With one kick, the cauldron filled with golden juice was kicked to the ground, and the splash of golden juice caused disaster to the surrounding Qin troops.
A Qin soldier who was holding a rolling log was splashed with gold juice on his face. He howled and wanted to wipe the golden juice off his face, but he forgot that the rolling log and stone in his hand weighed a hundred kilograms. He was immediately smashed to the ground and lost his breath.
