"The enemy's army is several times larger than mine. Our army is backed by a low hill and has formed a military formation to defend it."
The more than two thousand soldiers of the Qin army changed their formations and formed two square military formations in front of the low hill, echoing each other.
All the Qin army commanders pointed their arms forward, lowered their bodies slightly, and were ready to fight.
As for the crossbows in their hands, the sound of the bow strings being clicked could be heard endlessly, and the crossbows had already launched a volley of arrows.
On the low hill, Xia Xin, Ji Qian, Mu Qianshui, Yu Gui, Mu Qingkong, Yin Wugou and other generals were lined up in a row, each holding a crossbow in front of them.
They ignored the dog soldiers and cavalry who were approaching quickly. They each controlled their crossbows and fired volleys at Rongcheng.
The giant arrows on these bed crossbows were all made by the Department of Building Materials of Ye Yu Mansion, and they were engraved with the same patterns of origin characters such as "broken" and "armor" as those on the secret texts of the Qin army's weapons.
The giant arrow shot out, the secret text flashed, and its power surged.
"The leaders of the Quanrong people must gather in the core area of the city, aim at the center of the city, and fire a volley!" Baiyao ordered.
Buzz!
Multiple bow beds on each bed crossbow are linked together, and the arrows are densely packed.
Yu Gui was wearing military armor and a scarlet cloak over her shoulders, and her eyes were shining brightly.
Her method of practicing Heaven-Building Dao is unique, and she has the ability to detect changes in the qi of heaven and earth.
At this time, she was using the power within her body and looking at Rongcheng from the air.
In her eyes, different areas of Rong City had different qi surrounding them. Wherever the Quan Rong generals lived and stayed, there was a faint red halo permeating the air.
Yu Gui briefly adjusted the direction of the crossbow, and suddenly shot out the giant arrow with secret text.
The arrow left the string with lightning speed.
In the city, a Dog Rong general just got on his horse and suddenly shouted wildly, subconsciously waving the leather shield in his hand.
Click!
The leather shield and his body were pierced by the giant secret arrow at the same time, and he turned over and fell from his horse.
Baiyao narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Gui, this woman was really good at it.
At this time, the Dog Rong tribe had already rushed to the bottom of the low hill a hundred meters away.
The general at the head is none other than Tuoke Lanyu, a fierce dog-fighting general.
With a ferocious look on his face, he shouted wildly on his horse: "It is indeed the Qin people who are attacking. Follow me and rush up to hunt the Qin army."
Tuoke Lanyu waved his hand, and thousands of dog soldiers and generals behind him howled like hungry wolves in unison, which was breathtaking.
A force of energy also surged out of their bodies, and everyone's physical strength increased greatly, becoming as ferocious as wild beasts.
In stark contrast to the Dog Rong soldiers, the two thousand Qin troops under the low hill made no sound at all, but everyone's eyes were like torches, staring at the approaching Dog Rong soldiers.
The next moment, two thousand Qin troops, the weapons in their hands lit up with the light of secret texts.
The power within their bodies gathered together, and their breaths intertwined.
In the night sky, black birds and black dragons, two totem creatures appeared at the same time.
And just when the dog soldiers and horses rushed more than ten feet away, all the Qin troops stepped forward together, and the military formation changed.
The front spears of the weapons in their hands instantly pierced the leather shields of the front ranks of the Inu Rong tribe and penetrated into the bodies of the Inu Rong cavalry.
The dog soldiers in the front row were caught off guard, and no one was spared. They were all stabbed through the chest and abdomen by the broken guard.
At this time, two thousand Qin troops marched forward in formation, with one person's width between each two people. After each row of Qin troops thrust out their weapons, during the interval of recovery, the second row used the vacant space of the front row to stab forward. Out, and so on, like a wheel rolling forward.
This is the famous square wheel formation of the Qin army's infantry.
Used by more than 2,000 elite warriors, the front and back formations alternate, just like flowing clouds and flowing water.
The entire military column advanced step by step without any stagnation.
They made full use of the invincible edge of the secret weapons and moved forward alternately, unstoppable.
After a few encounters, the formation of the Quanrong troops who came into contact with the Qin army showed signs of dispersion due to the impact.
Tuoke Lanyu's expression suddenly changed. He was greatly surprised by the sharpness of the Qin army.
At this moment, Tuoke Lanyu felt something and looked up.
But on the low hill in front, a Qin general jumped up, like a vicious tiger, raised a giant hammer with a long handle in his hand, and smashed it down where he was.
It was Xia Xin who raised the hammer and dropped it from the air.
Tuoke Lanyu jumped up from the horse and faced Xia Xin.
He was holding a huge spear with a thick arm, and when it collided with the ghost-headed hammer in Xia Xin's hand, the air wave exploded, and there seemed to be muffled thunder in the void.
After Xia Xin landed, he immediately launched a hammer attack.
Boom boom boom!
The confrontation between the two was fierce and violent, and the weapons collided with each other, making a sound like thunder.
Tuoke Lanyu turned sideways to avoid Xia Xin's blow. As she moved, she suddenly saw a woman standing on a low hill. Under the cover of the falling snowflakes, her appearance was out of this world, like a fairy stepping into the mortal world.
Tuoke Lanyu was overjoyed, and deflected Xia Xin's hammer, and shouted at the Quanrong tribe: "Whoever can capture that woman on the short hill alive will be rewarded heavily."
Standing on the low hill was none other than Yu Gui.
She looked at Tuoke Lanyu below, suddenly stepped into the sky, walked forward in the void, and walked towards the foot of the low hill: "Xia Xin, how about you give up this barbarian general to me?"
Xia Xin shouted: "Fighting on the battlefield is not a martial arts competition. Whoever kills is the meritorious deed."
laugh!
A magical spear appeared in Yu Gui's hand. Before anyone arrived, the spear arrived first.
Tuoke Lanyu waved his weapon and drew it horizontally on the spear that came through the air. He felt his arms were sore and numb, and he almost lost his weapon: This woman's power is actually stronger than mine.
He swung to block Yu Gui's mana spear, but it was no longer possible to avoid Xia Xin's ghost-headed hammer. He barely retreated, and was swept across the chest by the ghost-headed hammer. The leather robe on his body exploded, and his chest was bloody and painful.
.
When two armies fight, there is no fairness at all, only life and death.
Xia Xin sneered and advanced step by step, the ghost-headed hammer whirling like the wind.
At this time, Tuoke Lanyu's eyes flashed with cold light, and the second spear projected by Yu Gui struck, faster and more powerful than the first one!
Tuoke Lanyu wanted to use his weapon to pick out the spear, but it was a little too late and he only hit the tail of the spear.
The spear tip deflected and flew past his left shoulder, picking up a large piece of flesh.
Tuoke Lanyu was horrified and wanted to pull away.
However, the third spear and Xia Xin's offensive both approached.
Tuoke Lanyu tried his best to move sideways, but a third spear penetrated his waist and abdomen. The ghost-headed hammer in Xia Xin's hand fell, smashing his head into pieces, and his red and white brains splashed all over the floor.
In mid-air, Yu Gui raised the corners of her mouth, fell down, and took advantage of the situation to rush into the enemy's formation.
She grabbed an Inurong spear with her hands, stabbed it left and right with various changes, and in an instant, she knocked several Inunrong generals off their horses.
On the low hill behind, the generals of Ye Yu Mansion are located.
Mu Qingkong asked Ji Qian beside him with a solemn expression: "Can you block Yu Gui's three spears?"
Before Ji Qian had time to respond, Mu Qianshui on the other side interrupted: "Even if Yu Gui has a fourth spear, I can easily block it, but if it were Mu Qingkong, you would have to die under the spear..."
Mu Qing said with blank eyes: "Did I ask you?"
Mu Qianshui said: "Whether you ask me or not, this is the truth. I can take four spears, but you and Xia Xin can only take three spears at most, and you will be killed with the fourth spear. Deputy Shi Bai, this Yu Gui has the strength to throw out
The fourth spear?”
Baiyao: "Yes! With her power, she can shoot six spears in a row, each spear is more powerful than the other."
This time, the expressions of Lian Mu Qianshui and Ji Qian, who was listening on the other side, also changed slightly.
Mu Qianshui quietly clasped his fingers and thought: "Our combat power ranking in the mansion has dropped one place again, to probably fourth place, which is still tied."
Inside and outside Rongcheng, the shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth.
Half an hour later, when more Quanrong people rushed out of the city and surrounded the short hill, in the darkness of the snowy night behind them, a large force of the Qin army riding night beasts came and joined the generals of Ye Yufu. .
The two armies encountered each other and suddenly started fighting.
On a short hill, after the main force of the Qin army arrived, Baiyao looked at Rong City from a distance, jumped up suddenly, and disappeared into the night sky: "Generals from the Ye Yu Mansion, we also entered the city and charged for a while, killing the Quan Rong people."
Inside and outside Rongcheng, murderous intent surged into the sky.
However, no one noticed that in the clouds above the battlefield, a graceful Demon Lord in a silver-white dress stood on the clouds, overlooking the Qin army's surprise attack on the Quan Rong tribe.
Behind the demon lord is the great demon Tian, the commander of the demon clan.
The two stood in the clouds and watched silently.
After a while, the Demon Lord asked: "How strong is the Qin army?"
Motian's eyes emitted two rays of green demonic light, breaking through the clouds and darkness, staring at the battlefield below, and said solemnly:
"We relied on the power of the demon ruins to resist the invasion of time. After sleeping for a long time, the human race's military formation skills have developed to such a superb level.
The strong individual advantage of our demon race will be made up for by the military formation of the human race. If the two armies confront each other, the outcome will be unpredictable."
He added: "Looking at the strength of the Qin army below, I see that these should be the most elite members of the Qin army. Their obedience and implementation of orders, the staggered changes in the military formations, and the integrity of their advance and retreat are all impeccable.
There is also the Qin army that is the vanguard. The armor and weapons they are equipped with are so powerful that even our demon tribe can hardly resist their attack."
The demon lord asked: "If you command my demon tribe and fight against this Qin army, what will be the outcome?"
Motian pondered and said: "My demon clan often fights alone and does not listen to discipline. In the military formation, we are inferior to the Qin army.
If we were to confront the Qin army right now, and the other side would also have a famous general in command, our demon tribe would have no chance of winning.
But if you can give me a period of time to train my troops and then fight the Qin army, I will definitely win."
The Demon Lord nodded with satisfaction: "There is still some time. In two months' time, when the spring is warm, my Demon Clan will join forces with Zhao to attack Qin. Is there enough time?"
Motian nodded slightly, with a fighting spirit in his eyes.
The Demon Lord swept his snow-white tail and said leisurely:
"The Lord of Great Qin first attacked the Xiongnu by surprise, and this time he attacked the Quanrong. His grasp of the timing of the battle is always unexpected, and he strives to take the initiative. He is obviously an extremely strong person. You must remember this when you fight with him in the future. , maybe it can be used.”
Motian nodded.
The Demon Lord watched for a while, then rode the clouds soaring upwards and disappeared into the depths of the sky.
In Rong City, murderous aura circulated in Baiyao's hands, and a formation diagram appeared faintly between his eyebrows.
He seemed to have some sense and looked up, but in the night sky, the clouds were thick and snowflakes were falling, and the two demon masters had already lost track of them.
That night, 30,000 Qin elites attacked the Quanrong at night. The battle lasted until the early morning of the next day. The Quanrong showed signs of defeat, and all the troops began to evacuate and flee.
For many days after that, the Qin army pursued Quan Rong everywhere and defeated them.
That morning, when taking inventory of the battlefield, Baiyao and others discovered that during the initial crossbow attack, the leader of the Dog Rong, Kebo Danji, was killed by a giant secret arrow.
This Dog Rong leader died at the beginning of the battle.
"Who shot the secret arrow that killed the leader of Quanrong?" Xia Xin, covered in blood, turned to ask the generals of Ye Yufu.
Everyone shook their heads and looked at the slim and fit woman in unison.
"it's me."
Yu Gui said calmly: "He is unlucky. He did not do it intentionally."
After the Quanrong tribes were defeated, they tried their best to organize a counterattack, but they were all defeated by the Qin army.
By the beginning of February, the Qin army withdrew its troops.
In this battle, nearly half of the Quanrong tribes were lost, and seven of the leaders of sixteen tribes were killed.
After that, this Dog Rong tribe continued to move north, and in the next few years, they merged into the Xiongnu one after another, and completely merged with the Xiongnu into one.
At this time, during the surprise attack on Quanrong, Guo Kai's counselor Qiu Ji was captured by the Qin army and brought back to Xianyang.
The Qin army's surprise attack on Quanrong had already spread throughout the world in early February, and all the five countries were talking about it.
King Zhao Yan was extremely frightened.
Before the cooperation between him and Quanrong could be achieved, Quanrong was defeated by the Qin army. This was tantamount to a head-on warning to him who wanted to mobilize all forces to destroy Qin.
Early February, the beginning of the new year.
A scroll of bamboo slips was pushed by Zhao Huaizhong with the power of a saint in the Three Realms, and flew out of Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty, directly into the State of Zhao.
On this day in Handan City, the weather was fine and cloudless.
However, at noon, the sky-piercing bamboo slips appeared in the sky above Handan.
With the blessing of the saint's power, the bamboo slips slowly stretched over Handan, spanning the void.
The writing on the bamboo slips flashes.
The content on the slip was handwritten by Zhao Huaizhong, and the voice of Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei, who was also a saint, was sealed in it. The yin and yang were interrupted, shaking Handan:
“Zhao Daoxiang and Zhao Yan, kings of Zhao, have acted in reverse since they came to the throne... People will insult themselves, and others will insult them.
People can be shameless, but Zhao Yan is the most shameful person. He is ashamed to be the leader of a country, but as a human being, he colludes with the demon tribe, and later contacts the dog and Rong barbarians to harm the Qin Dynasty. It is beyond the capabilities of a human being..."
The main content of this bamboo slip is to expose the collusion between King Zhao Yan and the demon clan and the Dog Rong.
It was he who acted to humiliate himself first, and then the saint issued a message today.
The article directly points out that King Zhao is a shame to the human race!
The article written on the bamboo slips not only exposed Zhao Yan's collusion with the demon clan and the Dog Rong, but the most powerful thing is that it also contains the voices of the saints of the human race who jointly sealed it.
Xunzi, Zou Yan, Han Fei, and Lu Buwei signed their names to attack King Zhao.
The saints jointly signed, heaven and earth cooperated, and the changes in the sky above Handan completely confirmed the authenticity of Zhao Yan's actions.
When the voices of all the saints came out, the bamboo slips in the sky exploded.
All the saints questioned the Zhao people and ministers in unison, scolded Li Mu, Pang Nuan and other famous generals, asking them if they knew about King Zhao's rebellious behavior and various actions.
In Handan City, in the general's mansion, Li Mu looked sad.
He didn't know what Zhao Yan was doing. At this moment, listening to the voice sealed in the bamboo slips sent by Zhao Huaizhong, every word was heartbreaking, and Li Mu also felt that there is no sorrow greater than the death of his heart.
Anyone who knows that the monarch they have dedicated their loyalty to is a scum colluding with foreigners will not feel comfortable.
At the residence of Zhao General Pang Nuan, he fell ill after the failure of the Five Kingdoms Alliance.
At this time, I heard that the audience and saints had joined forces to attack Zhao Yan, accusing him of being stupid and unprincipled.
Pang Nuan coughed up blood and immediately passed out.
When the saints finished speaking, thunder suddenly broke out in the sky, and an electric pillar struck the main hall of Zhao Palace.
In the palace of King Zhao, Zhao Yan's face was pale and he was trembling with anger.
This move made him feel more uncomfortable than killing him, and also made the Zhao people feel more uncomfortable. The ruined monarch would be despised by the world.
In front of him, Guo Kai also looked miserable and was trembling with fear.
In Handan City, the whole city was silent, and tens of thousands of Zhao people felt humiliated.
Many saints jointly signed the crusade, which proved that the matter was conclusive and left Zhao people without a chance to refute.
On this day, the six countries were shaken.
The two countries of Yan and Qi immediately declared to the world that they would never join the Zhao people. Everyone would attack King Zhao's behavior!
In the palace, Zhao Yan's expression was distorted.
He also fell ill subsequently and was bedridden for several days.
In Zhao's country, there were even calls for Zhao Yan to issue an imperial edict to abdicate the throne.
The world is in turmoil, but in Xianyang of the Qin Dynasty, at the beginning of February, we are in the atmosphere of the New Year.
Zhao Huaizhong hosted a banquet for the ministers in Xianyang Palace to celebrate the victory over Quan Rong.
He treated the ministers to hot pot.
Ps: I originally wanted to write this chapter at 5,000 words, but today’s update has 9,000 words. It’s an extra update from the leader of the chapter, but I’m too professional and don’t have the 600 or 700 words (laughs)...
