Arrows all over the sky shot out from the hands of rows of Wei soldiers like locusts.
Then there was a scream, and dozens of people in the Qin army fell to the ground wailing.
This was the result of Shejian discovering the ambush in advance and asking the soldiers to raise their shields to defend and avoid, otherwise they would be attacked. Under this round of arrow rain, the Qin army's casualties would only be more serious.
"The cavalry retreats quickly and reports this military situation to the army!"
Shejian got out from under the car, shouted loudly to the Qin army who looked panicked after being ambushed, and issued corresponding orders.
As soon as Shejian discovered the ambush, he immediately jumped out of the car, yelled a warning, and got under the car to hide.
This is what Zhao Tuo told him. If there is an ambush, the enemy must attack the commander first. Standing on the chariot, it is easy to be pierced by thousands of arrows, so you must protect yourself as soon as possible.
Shejian dodged the rain of arrows and saw dozens of arrows stuck in the position where he had just stood.
"What a good Lord Ningling, he really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"
Shejian saw densely packed Wei soldiers rushing out of the woods. Just a quick glance revealed that their numbers far exceeded his own army.
This is a premeditated ambush!
Shejian was not panicked. As a way to explore the way and build an army, wasn't this the duty of his thousand men?
He will dig out the traps and ambushes on the road ahead one by one, and bear all the hardships himself, just to ensure the safety of the army behind him.
It is better to raise an army than to be ambushed.
"Soldiers form a circular formation! Use the chariot as a barrier and wait for reinforcements!"
"The cavalry returns quickly!"
Shejian issued the order again, and the soldiers beside him rushed up to protect him, while shouting to convey the order.
This time, the effect of the training the Qin army received was reflected.
Upon hearing the general's voice and order, the five hundred generals, hundred generals, and village commanders under him also conveyed the order one level at a time. Although the Qin soldiers were still in a panic, they instinctively carried out the actions under the order.
They cut off the ropes on several chariots in turn, released the frightened horses, and then arranged the vehicles in a ring to serve as a local defense barrier.
The cavalrymen who were not injured quickly reined in their horses and retreated, notifying the central army behind them of the ambush here.
The Wei army naturally knew this and sent people to intercept and at the same time shoot at the galloping Qin army cavalry.
Nearly half of the Qin army's cavalry were shot and intercepted, but more than a dozen of the cavalry also ran out and headed straight to the rear.
"Don't worry about them! If we swallow this Qin army, we will have a great victory!"
Hou Shu stood in the forest and shouted at the Wei troops who kept pouring out of the woods.
Zhu Piao's face turned red, and the veins on his neck appeared. He raised his arms and shouted: "Kill, the Qin army has been surrounded by our army! Kill these dog Qin people and restore our Wei territory!"
"Kill!"
The Wei soldiers all looked excited and their morale was high. This was a rare ambush, and there were only a thousand Qin troops ambushed by them.
Six thousand against one thousand, in the eyes of normal people, it is a sure win but not a loss outcome, it is a real tailwind!
The Wei soldiers surged up like a tide. They held spears, halberds and swords, and under the cover of the second round of missing arrows, they rushed towards the Qin army that had formed a circular formation.
At this moment, many Qin soldiers had fear on their faces.
The thousand of them were all Hanoi troops. They were attacked by the Wei army at the foot of Jiyang City and suffered a heavy defeat. The current situation reminded many people of that disastrous defeat, and they couldn't help but feel shaken.
Seeing this, Shejian knew that he was being ambushed and the morale of the army was unstable. He shouted: "If you die, you will not be able to lead your army, but you will hang your head in the city! If you die, you will not grow long, and if you die, your family will be ruined! If you die, you will not be able to general, and if you die, your clan will be destroyed."
!”
Guarded by the shields of short soldiers, Shejian dictated military orders, and the short soldiers also carried his voice around.
"In the battle of Zijiyang, countless people were beheaded and punished, and all the generals and soldiers were beheaded. If you run away today, there is no way to escape. Not only will you die, but your family will be harmed, so you can only fight to the death."
, there is a glimmer of hope!”
Hearing Shejian's words, all the Qin soldiers who were in a panic after being ambushed were shocked.
Yes, in the Battle of Jiyang, the commander-in-chief of the Qin army was beheaded by the Wei people on the battlefield, resulting in a complete rout of the Qin army. The defeated soldiers rushed to nearby cities and escaped with their lives, but they immediately began to be screened and punished.
After rigorous identification, all the escaped commanders and soldiers were beheaded in public, and their family members far away in Hanoi were also implicated.
The rest of the officers and soldiers were punished according to their positions and titles, either by reducing their rank or by punishing them with fines. Except for a few people, almost everyone was in debt.
This is also the reason why Zhao Tuo followed the Wei army in the Zhou Dynasty and the five hundred Hanoi troops were willing to follow, because they all wanted to make meritorious deeds and reduce their punishments.

Now, they are ambushed by the Wei army. They may fight hard and die here, but if they dare to escape, the harsh Qin law will be more terrifying than death.
After escaping from battle twice in a row, the punishment they Hanoi soldiers faced was not just death. Even their wives, children, and children far away in Hanoi would also be implicated.
She Jian shouted at the same time: "Ten miles away, there is the central army led by the military commander. The cavalry has passed the news. It won't be long before the military commander will lead the army to come to the rescue! As long as we fight hard here, we can drag them to the other side.
When the time comes, you will be able to survive, son, encourage him!"
Hearing this, the morale of the Qin army, which was originally low, instantly became high.
They are not alone!
Zhao Junhou's army is ten miles away!
The eyes of the Qin soldiers brightened up, this battle is not inevitable!
If you escape in this battle, even if you survive, you will be severely punished and your family will be implicated.
But if you fight to the death, there is still a glimmer of hope!
"Son, let's fight with the Wei people. We will never retreat or harm our family. Today we can only fight to the death!"
A Qin army general shouted.
All the Qin soldiers also blushed and shouted: "Today we will fight to the death with the Wei people. We escaped once and we will never escape again!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The war drums of the Qin army were beating, and among the exciting and exciting drums, roars shook the sky, even overwhelming the shouts of the charging Wei army.
The rushing momentum not only shocked the faces of the charging Wei soldiers, but also the expressions of surprise on Wei Jiu, Hou Shu and others who were observing from a distance in the woods.
"After being ambushed by our army, why were the morale of these Qin people so high? Why did no one escape?"
Wei Jiu's head was filled with questions.
They deliberately surrounded them from the left, right and rear directions, leaving no one blocking the road in front, which gave the Qin army a chance to flee. As long as someone in the Qin army fled, their military formation would collapse, and then the Wei army would collapse.
You can chase death to the north and kill and behead them all the way without any resistance.
However, at this moment, the Qin troops were all howling and guarding their positions, and no one was able to escape.
Hou Shu blinked and said: "The number of casualties is not enough. As long as the casualties reach a certain number, some people in the Qin army will definitely escape. If one person escapes, ten will escape, and if ten escape, then a hundred will escape. This will be a great defeat. Young Master
Don't worry, our army is six times more numerous than the other side, enough to defeat and annihilate the Qin army before the Chinese army arrives."
Wei Jiu nodded, but there was always a lingering feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
At this moment, the bows and crossbows had stopped firing, and the charging Wei army had arrived at the front to engage the Qin army.
"shield!"
The five hundred leaders of the Qin army roared, and the front row of the Qin army who were defending against the chariots all raised their shields.
The spears and halberds in the Wei army's hands hit the shield hard. What's more, they jumped up and tried to climb over the shield, and then they were stabbed into the body by the Qin army's spears and halberds from behind.
The Qin army's shield-wielding soldiers resisted the Wei army's charge.
The Qin soldiers behind them stretched out their beryllium, spears, and halberds from behind their shields to the rhythm of the army's war drums. Each time the sharp beryllium and spear points thrust out, they could take away the life of a Wei soldier.
After all, the 6,000 soldiers under Wei Jiu's command were composed of broken soldiers and recruited Wei people. They lacked equipment and many of them had no armor and stomach protection at all. Under the rhythmic spear and halberd attacks of the Qin army, they screamed incessantly.
Rings.
The bright red blood spread along the ground, dyeing the yellow soil with blood. The Wei soldiers on the ground who were stabbed and pierced their intestines were wailing and screaming, while the Wei soldiers behind them were mercilessly slashing from Pao Ze's body.
They trampled over and continued to charge towards the Qin army with a ferocious face.
The Wei army's offensive was wave after wave. They used their spears and halberds to stab forward and sweep forward, trying to break the Qin people's shield array.
A Wei soldier squatted down cleverly and used his halberd to attack the legs of the Qin army holding a shield. The two Qin soldiers were unprepared and fell to the ground screaming. Then, the excited Wei army stepped forward and used
The weapons in their hands stabbed them to death on the spot.
However, the squatting Wei soldier was immediately trampled to the ground by Pao Ze behind him, and a pair of legs and feet stepped on him, leaving him only time to scream in agony.
"Kill, kill all these dog Qin people!"
The Qin army's defensive shield formation was broken through, and the Wei soldiers rushed to get in through the gap. They swarmed in. Many people abandoned their long soldiers, picked up daggers, and rushed into the Qin army's formation to slash and assassinate like crazy.
attack, which increased the casualties of the Qin army.
"Soldiers come forward and block this place!"
Shejian opened his eyes angrily, sent a group of short soldiers forward with shields, joined forces with the nearby Qin army to block the gap, and re-formed a shield formation to block the Wei army's attack. The entire battle situation once again fell into a stalemate.
The drums roared loudly, and with every drum sound, Qin soldiers and Wei soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
Behind these fallen soldiers, new robes were immediately put on to patch them up.
Round after round, the Wei army was far more numerous than the thousand Qin troops. They were like a surging wave, madly attacking the Qin army's massed formation.
Although the Qin army continued to shrink its defense line with the casualties of its soldiers, relying on the few horizontal tanks to resist tenaciously, no one ever fled to the east where the Wei army was sparse.
"We shall fight to the death!"
Shejian shouted, holding up the long sword in his hand, ready to go into battle at any time to kill.
Around him, the Qin soldiers, who had been stained red with blood, were also shouting.
