King Qin left a lot of troops to guard Jinzhou, and sent Tu Shang to keep an eye on Yongzhou. At the moment, he only had more than 60,000 troops under his command.
"Prime Minister Han, attack!" someone said.
Han Bi shook his head, "I have Yingshui at my back, so supplies are cheap. What's the hurry?"
He has an army of 100,000, which is almost twice as many as his opponents. Why panic?
Chen Guan praised: "The Prime Minister of Han is calm."
"The Northern Xinjiang Army is good at defending!" Han Bi said: "Once an array is formed, it is almost impossible to break through. Not many of our soldiers have seen blood. If they cannot attack for a long time, they will definitely be impatient. The King of Qin is experienced in his troops and will take advantage of the situation to counterattack.
Defeat is not far away.”
Everyone was shocked.
Han Bi smiled and said: "The King of Qin's supplies need to be transported from Guanzhong and even Northern Xinjiang. This journey is incredibly expensive and the distance is long, so transportation is not easy. I am not in a hurry, he will naturally be in a hurry!"
"Prime Minister Han, the envoy from Bianjing is here."
Han Bi frowned slightly.
Chen Guan sighed.
What time is it? What is the purpose of the messenger?
The messenger is still a chamberlain.
"Your Majesty will reward Prime Minister Han with two houses and three thousand acres of fertile land!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Han Bi took a deep breath, he knew what the emperor wanted, "Please report back to Your Majesty, the war is about to begin..." He looked in the direction of Bianjing, "I, please do your best!"
"Then let's..." The envoy glanced at the military formation opposite.
The morning light shone on the black military formation, and the armor reflected light, making it look like a heavenly soldier.
The messenger shuddered and said, "We'll go right away."
"Have a good trip, messenger!"
Han Bi sent the envoy off respectfully.
The person on the other side saw the movement here.
"Probably the envoy from Bianjing. I think Xu will be restless next year!"
The King of Qin smiled and said: "Han Bi is leading an army that will overwhelm the country. Nian Xu is probably a little worried. In addition, he is also quite uneasy about this battle... He is in a dilemma. It is really difficult for him."
As soon as he finished speaking, King Qin pointed to the opposite side, "Han Bi has an army of 100,000 but dare not attack, which shows his cowardice. In this case, Gu, teach him how to fight. Send the order and attack!"
"His Majesty orders, attack!"
The flag waved, and the infantry in front began to attack.
The crossbow formation followed, the cavalry followed...
The Chinese military flag moved forward.
"Prime Minister Han, the Northern Xinjiang Army has launched an attack."
Even though he had gone through many battles, Chen Guan was still trembling slightly.
The huge military formation pressing over reminded him of the enemies he had seen... The array of random people looked messy, with weapons of all kinds. Everyone was looking around, trying their best to hide their uneasiness and fear.
On the other hand, the Northern Xinjiang soldiers on the opposite side looked resolute or silent, and their hands holding their weapons were firm.
Comparing the two armies...
One is in the sky and the other is underground.
The crossbow formation on the opposite side began to prepare.
"Protect yourself from arrows!"
Amidst the shrill shouts, the Southern Zhou army in front raised their shields.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Amidst the loud sound, a black cloud pressed over.
Duh duh duh!
The sound of the crossbow hitting the shield was like heavy rain, followed by the screams of the unlucky ones.
"The enemy is approaching...fire arrows!"
The Southern Zhou Army used waves of arrows to loot the infantry of the Northern Xinjiang Army who started to trot.
Both sides are facing the rain of arrows from the other side, staring and raising their weapons...
"kill!"
A spear pierced the opponent's chest, and then he rotated and retracted the gun. Just as the Southern Zhou Army sergeant wanted to cheer, he was stabbed in the neck by a spear and fell to the ground screaming.
puff!
The comrade behind him stepped forward with a spear and filled the gap.
"kill!"
On the battle line, the spear became the sharpest weapon. Both sides stabbed each other. Countless people fell on the line at this moment, and then their comrades behind them followed and stabbed again...
As soon as they made contact, the Northern Xinjiang Army gave its opponent a lesson.
"There is a gap." Han Bi shook his head slightly. He was not worried about a breakthrough, but he was a little dissatisfied with his subordinates.
This was the first time that Chen Guan had witnessed such a large-scale killing. He was stunned and felt that his previous battlefield experience was of no use here.
have a look……
Looking from the left, one can see an endless front line of fighting; the same can be seen from the right.
Countless people are being strangled, someone falls every moment, and lives are thrown in every moment.
"God!" Chen Guan was shocked.
…
"The Southern Xinjiang Army is nothing more than that." Han Ji smiled and said: "We had the upper hand as soon as the war started."
"Don't underestimate the enemy." He Lianrong said: "Many times, a small mistake will lead to a big defeat."
"The enemy troops on the left are counterattacking." Pei Jian pointed to the left and said.
On the left wing of the Northern Xinjiang Army, more than a thousand infantry of the Southern Zhou Army were attacking.
Leading with more than a hundred heavily armored infantry, they successfully opened an opening and immediately tried to rush in.
"Victory!" Those Southern Zhou troops cheered.
Immediately, the Northern Xinjiang Army launched a counterattack with hundreds of reserve troops, and the two sides fought together. The Northern Xinjiang Army's counterattack was particularly fierce. Even if the Southern Zhou Army fought hard for their lives, they were still pushed back.
"Counterattack!" the Southern Zhou general roared.
No one expects to completely open the opponent's defense at this time, but this is a morale battle.
At the beginning of the battle, you must make your opponent's heart tremble, and then you can fight in the follow-up.
"Kick them out!"
The general of the Northern Xinjiang Army scolded: "Do you want Ye Ye to come in person?"
"No need!"
The general who led the team personally led the team to charge and shouted for a fierce battle.
This gap was quickly filled, and they even launched a counterattack and broke into the opponent's array.
"Hold them off!"
This assault caused some confusion for the opponent. With the counterattack of the opponent's reserve team, the two sides regained balance again.
Such assaults and counter-assaults abound across the entire front. At such times, the perseverance of the soldiers on both sides and the commanding abilities of the generals are tested.
"Prime Minister Han, we... have to be a bit embarrassed." Chen Guan saw it. "Every time we invest more troops than our opponents, we can maintain the balance of power."
This shows that the Southern Zhou Army is generally inferior to the Northern Xinjiang Army.
"But there are many old ladies!" Han Bi said calmly.
"Yes! There are many of us!"
Chen Guan felt confident again.
The battle continued, and the Northern Xinjiang Army as a whole advanced more than thirty steps.
"The Northern Xinjiang Army's offensive has stalled a bit," said a veteran.
Han Bi nodded, "Don't underestimate the enemy. This is just a piece of cake."
On the opposite side, King Qin said: "Gu has been waiting for Han Bi's trump card, but he has not moved, he is very patient! So, Tu Chang."
"I'm here!"
The Gun King of the Southland salutes.
"You lead five thousand cavalry to attack."
"Take orders!"
Five thousand cavalry followed the passage and charged directly at the enemy array.
The shadow of the gun danced, opening a breakthrough in an instant.
"Prime Minister Han, it's Tu Chang!"
Someone said: "This man is a descendant of our founding general of the Zhou Dynasty, who later joined the King of Qin!"
"I know." Han Bi had collected a lot of information about the Northern Xinjiang Army a long time ago. He even sent people to investigate Tu Chang's hometown to see if Tu Chang could be developed into an inside source.
But it is a pity that the person who inquired about the news came back and reported: "The whole family was burned to death, and the local officials were incompetent and could not comfort... My husband, if you change the villain, you will definitely not look back."
Only then did Han Bi give up.
At this moment, watching the descendants of the famous generals of the Great Zhou leading the Northern Xinjiang army into the battle, invincible, Han Bi's eyes were complicated, "After this battle, I will advise you to treat the warriors kindly, otherwise, no one will serve the Great Zhou anymore!"
He waved his hand, and a strong general led the army to stop Tu Shang.
With two good hands sandwiched between them, a horizontal sword, a long sword, and a strong general, the three of them were able to block Tu Chang's attack.
Tu Shang roared filial piety and danced his spear even more eagerly.
His eyes turned red, and the spear suddenly exerted force, violently flying the opponent's sword, and pierced the opponent's throat with a spear. At the same time, the sword flashed past, and even though Tu Chang tried his best to twist his body to dodge, he was still hit by the knife.
In the bloody light, Tu Chang exerted his strength, and with a thrust of his spear, his opponent flew into the air.
As everyone screamed in surprise, Tu Shang jumped on his horse and rushed over.
He blocked a knife, but the warrior's spear swept across without avoiding it.
puff!
Tu Chang opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, but took the opportunity to shoot away his opponent who was wielding a long sword.
The remaining warriors looked at him in fear.
"kill!"
The third person flies up.
Tu Chang's beard was twitching, "Guan Guan, Tu's Tu Chang is here!"
Immediately, enemy cavalry swarmed in.
The fighting here was particularly fierce, and Yongzhou City could see it clearly.
This battle took place on the right side of Yongzhou City.
Zhao Shen stood on the top of the city, looking at the turbulent battle situation, and nervously pounded the battlements with his fists.
"Prime Minister Han still doesn't move!" the deputy general beside him said impatiently: "It's time to fight back, otherwise, if things go on like this, I am worried that I will collapse."
"Yes!" Zhao Shen was also very worried, "The opposite side is filled with warriors who have fought a hundred battles, but our side is mostly composed of new soldiers who have never fought before. It won't last long!"
The deputy general pointed to the city, "How about testing it out?"
Zhao Shen took a look and said, "Xiang Han ordered that no attack be made without authorization unless those Northern Xinjiang troops join the battle group."
The old thief was very leisurely in the city. He touched a handful of dried meat and chewed it carefully.
Tu Shang's assault lasted for half an hour, and finally returned in blood.
"here you go!"
King Qin witnessed Tu Shang's continuous assault and admired him very much.
This attack made the opponent panic, so King Qin ordered: "Step into the armor."
Rows of heavily armored infantry came up.
"Xiang Han, these are the heavy armored infantry of the Northern Xinjiang Army!"
Chen Guan looked at the tribes covered in heavy armor and said with some fear.
"Isn't there Da Zhou?"
Following Han Bi's order, rows of infantry also wearing heavy armor rushed forward.
If these heavily armored infantrymen wanted to kill him, they would either knock him down or stab him with a spear.
The two sides strangled each other crazily. Some of the heavily armored infantrymen were knocked down, but despite their efforts, they could not stand up on their own. They looked as embarrassed as a tortoise that had been turned over.
Immediately, the spear stabbed down hard and penetrated through the eye.
The generals of the Southern Zhou Army were shouting filial piety, urging their subordinates to move forward.
"Move forward!"
It has been almost two hours since the war began, and the Northern Xinjiang Army has been advancing continuously, squeezing the opponent's space.
The central army cannot move, otherwise the morale of the army will be chaotic. Therefore, the formation of the entire Southern Zhou army looks a bit flat.
"Press it down!"
King Qin said coldly: "Gu, I want to see what other bezoars Han Bi has yet to bring out!"
