Chapter 927 Attack(1/2)
The Seven Rivers Basin is the land nourished by seven rivers that flow from the Tianshan Mountains into the Yibo Sea.
From east to west, they are given Chinese names: Chushui, Saishui, Yishui, Duanshui, Jingshui, Yashui and Lanshui.
Today, nearly 100,000 troops line up on both sides of the Ya River.
To the west is the allied army of Kangju, Sassanid, and Wusun, with different flags, different clothes, and even weapons, like a group of makeshift beggars.
To the east are all black cavalry.
The first three thousand horsemen were all wearing iron armor, and the horses were also covered with a layer of leather armor.
The 20,000 cavalrymen behind were ready in formation.
The army is extremely powerful, and it does not panic in the face of two or three times the number of enemies.
"Why don't you, King of Xia, wait a little longer? If the enemy comes from far away, you will not be able to make ends meet with food and grass. Once the weather turns cold and the ground freezes, you will not be able to hold on. If you chase them north, they will not be able to return."
After living in the Xia Kingdom for so many years, a suit of armor cannot hide Xiahou Xu's elegant temperament.
Just shoot him to death. The key is to make him scream on the grass whether he is dead or alive, which greatly disturbs the morale of the army.
In panic, the enemy issued a series of contradictory orders.
He was wearing more than ten injuries, but he was unconscious and wielding the long sword and long spear as if he never tired.
Because Yang Yi's toothbrush stands on the grass slope, in the middle of the formation.
During their second projection, the Qin army's crossbowmen fired rapidly, thirty or forty paces away, and from a high position, the harpooneers' scales and shields lost their effect.
If Yang Yi is willing, he can, like the Kangju people, gather a force of 50,000 to 60,000 men in a few months.
The small grassy slope seemed like a mountain that the enemy could not cross.
Dozens of war horses are packed together.
Under the sword, there is no one who can unite.
Some Kangju cavalrymen thought they could chop melons and vegetables by breaking their spears and rushing in through the gaps between the infantry, but they found that what was waiting for them was a gleaming long-handled saber.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Some shoot people, some shoot horses.
"Behead those who act rashly!" Zhao Xiong stood at the front with his sword and shield and 500 heavily armored infantry.
Each person had five javelins stuck in his back, which attracted the attention of both sides as soon as he appeared.
However, more than 10,000 cavalrymen surrounded Yang Yi and slowly retreated eastward.
The Xuanyi envoys calmed the mood of the infantry.
"The Qin Dynasty never deserted!"
Call——
The rain of arrows on both sides soon covered the sky, as if countless locusts were scurrying into the sky from the grass.
"I'm going to drag you on, but I can't wait any longer!" Li Xiang held a long knife in his left hand and a long arm in his right hand, looking impatient.
The Kangju people finally gained some confidence, because they were getting closer and closer to the Qin army's infantry formation, and the Qin army's terrifying arrow rain had stopped.
"Then kill them until their corpses are strewn across the field and their blood is flowing into rivers!" The flesh on Li Xiang's face was pulsing.
Wherever Li Xiang rushed, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and a river of blood flowed from the horse's hooves, like a demon coming to the world...
It's a pity that there are not many opportunities like this.
The crossbowman is behind.
But the Qin army could fire rapidly, using crossbows, bed crossbows, repeating crossbows, heavy crossbows, horn bows, long bows... various models, full coverage, long range, and sufficient lethality.
The coalition forces have never been able to unite.
But what followed was shame. Sixty to seventy thousand cavalry could not do anything to these more than ten thousand infantry. If word got out, the bravery they had always boasted would be gone.
Boom, boom, boom...
The enemy finally used their brains and found that there was nothing they could do about the Qin army's infantry formation for a moment, so they changed the attack into a siege.
The cavalry attack ceased, but the Sasanian harpooneers took over.
There are broken bodies and broken internal organs everywhere...
The low grass slopes were soon dyed blood red, like burning red flames, and the Kangju people were like moths constantly fluttering into the flames.
The desolate horn whimpered.
The Kangju people's horses let out bursts of mournful screams, as if they had a premonition of their own fate.
The strong wind is still blowing, and the grass is still rustling.
Daqin Workshop has continuously improved weapons in response to changes in the battlefield over the years.
It seemed as if all the murderous intent and evil spirits of the Qin army were concentrated on him alone.
He wants to prove more than anyone else that he is not inferior to Wen Yang.
"The Qin people are only good at bows and arrows. If you rush over, you can cut off their heads!" the Sasanians in the cavalry roared.
This gave the enemy troops rushing from the west the illusion of retreat, and the enemy troops rushed in more and more crazily.
The general who stepped forward to intercept dodged the long spear thrust by Li Xiang, but failed to dodge the long knife struck by lightning from the left. His head flew up and was caught by Li Xiang, then hung on his shoulder...
A vague chill swept over all the enemy troops on the battlefield.
They have stronger courage and will than the cavalry!
One by one, the spears stabbed into the bodies of the Kangju people and lifted them up from the ground.
These words shattered the enemy's last resistance, and even the strength to escape seemed to be drained away. They dropped their weapons one by one and knelt on the ground.
But he is also like Yang Zheng, who values the elite rather than the many, and follows the route of elite soldiers.
Two thousand harpooneers were all pinned to the ground under the violent storm of crossbow arrows.
The Qin army of Xia State was extremely well-equipped, and its soldiers were all fierce Qiang Han warriors.
The bows and arrows of the Kangju people were like children's toys in front of these sharp weapons.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Xiahou Xu, who was coming from behind, quickly asked the Wusun soldiers beside him to shout.
The Kangju people, the Wusun people, and the Sassanid people were all frightened.
However, they were blocked by their shields, and only the heavy crossbows and bed crossbows shot through the shields, pinning more than a hundred people to the grass.
If gods stand in the way, they will kill gods; if they stand in the way of Buddha, they will kill Buddha.
The Qin army was also divided into two groups. The infantry formed a crescent moon formation on a grassy slope with long grass, spears like reeds, and large shields like walls.
"attack!"
The Qin army's arrow rain covered the sky again.
The battlefield was filled with cheers from the Sasanians, whose unique force was the harpooneer.
Their roars could be heard all over the sky.
"Haha, what brother said is true!" Zhao Xiong laughed.
At this time, Li Xiang was supported by the momentum of the entire Qin army, and he was more brave and powerful than before.
The arrows from the Kangju people either hit the Qin army's large shield or hit the three rows of soldiers in front. Occasionally, someone screamed and was quickly dragged down by the robe behind him, and then the next person took his place.
Strong winds and torrents surged down together.
There were bursts of thunder in the northeast.
"Oh, oh, oh..."
The momentum when he appeared was really amazing. I originally thought there was something unique about him, but I didn't expect it to be so weak...
The Qin army on the grassy slope is like a monument that will never fall down.
Less than a hundred people died under mounted fire.
If they couldn't even deal with the more than ten thousand Qin Army infantry, how could they deal with the Qin Army's cavalry?
"retreat!"
The second and third rounds of arrow rain followed.
"Stick to this position and the enemy will be defeated!"
The enemy troops were completely stunned by this terrifying rain of arrows.
However, they forgot that these were not the infantry of the Western Regions or Central Asia, but the infantry of Great Qin.
On the grassy slope, Zhao Xiong raised his head and laughed: "Today's battle will be enough to be famous throughout the ages. You guys can follow me to kill and make contributions to the country!"
"Assemble!"
There were even more than a thousand Wusun people kneeling in front of the Qin army's formation, begging for forgiveness for their betrayal...
Kangju's cavalry did not have saddles, so after firing an arrow, it took a long time to fire the second arrow.
To be continued...
