The soldiers liked this kind of fiercely confrontational sport very much. Winning the ranking would bring money, so they signed up one after another, determined to get the ranking.
At this time, the two teams on the court were competing fiercely. In just a few breaths, Cuju changed several people. The soldiers watching around shouted excitedly, wishing they could rush forward to replace them.
At this moment, arrows covering the sky suddenly appeared in the sky, falling towards the ground like meteors.
"Enemy attack! Take cover quickly!" Zhao Kuo was shocked and shouted quickly.
Everyone looked up at the sky. At this time, there was no time to think. They could only subconsciously look for cover or rely on instinct to avoid it.
Puff puff!
A few unlucky guys were hit by arrows and closed their eyes in despair.
They thought they were finished. After a while, they heard the noise around them and realized that they were not dead. When they opened their eyes, they found that the arrowhead had only penetrated the armor and did not hurt them.
Only the most unlucky person was injured and did not die.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this was done by the Qin army." Liu Ping picked up the arrow on the ground and said in a deep voice.
"You are worthy of Lord Wu An for coming up with a super long-range attack so quickly." Zhao Kuo looked a little ugly and signaled that the game would not continue and that everyone could leave. He also wanted to go back to discuss matters.
"The lethality is a bit low. If the short-range attack has this lethality, then the actual effect of this legion is not great. In addition, this legion has a fatal flaw, it uses solid arrows. A wave of arrows
When the rain came down, it caused no loss except some panic for our army, but the Qin army lost nearly 10,000 arrows. Even if the Qin army has a big business, it cannot withstand such consumption." Liu Ping said.
When the Zhao army harassed the Qin army, they used internal energy arrows. Although physical arrows can also be used, it is not necessary. Every bit you can save is worth it. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport it from Zhao to the front line, so it is better to save it.
Transport food.
Qin's arrow reserve cannot be as rich as Zhao's. It may not be a big problem in a short period of time, but it will definitely not be able to sustain it in the long run.
Moreover, war must be cost-effective. If the enemy soldiers killed are not worth the arrows fired, then the arrows should not be shot, let alone the Qin army's wave of arrows that rained down not a single enemy.
The more arrows you shoot properly, the more money you lose.
"If we shoot against the Qin army, will it speed up the Qin army's consumption of bows and arrows?" Zhao Kuo suddenly thought of something. The inner energy arrows of the Shesheng battalion and the strong crossbowmen consumed willpower and inner energy. Shooting a few more arrows would be enough.
When you train regularly, you can also improve your strength.
However, the Qin army uses one less arrow. If the Qin army's arrow consumption can be accelerated, it will be very cost-effective for the Zhao army.
"...It's possible." Liu Ping nodded.
"Then let's shoot against the Qin army. Separate the Shengsheng camp and the strong crossbowmen and attack the Qin army in turns. I want to see how long the Qin army can hold out." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
"No." Liu Ping said.
On the way, Zhao Kuo met the bodyguard sent by Le Yi to call him.
Le Yi also knew that the Qin army had just fired a hail of arrows at the camp, so he immediately called a meeting with the soldiers.
Soon, Zhao Kuo came to the commander's camp, walked to the top and sat down, and said directly: "Let's talk about it."
"Your Majesty, according to statistics, in just a quarter of an hour, the Qin army fired three waves of arrows at our army. One soldier was killed and three soldiers were injured. Although the casualties were not large, the morale of the soldiers was hit hard. What are you afraid of?
At that time, arrows rained down from the sky." Le Yi said.
"Is there a way to solve it?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Not yet, I will think of a way in the future." Le Yi shook his head. He thought of several ways, but none of them were universal and could be implemented in a short time.
"Your Majesty, I wish you all." At this time, Tian Dan came in from the outside, clasped his fists and said, "The general just led the Shesheng battalion and strong crossbowmen to counterattack the Qin army, but a war rose above the Qin army.
The formation stopped most of the arrows."
"The battle formation covering all the Qin troops? How could it be opened in such a short period of time?" Le Cheng said in shock.
Although it does not take much time to open the battle formation, the arrows fall faster. By the time people see the arrows, it is already too late.
"It is indeed a battle formation covering the entire Qin Army camp, but it doesn't look like it has just been opened." Tian Dan was also a little confused. He originally wanted to test it a few more times, but Le Yi sent someone to call him, and he came back.
"I will observe with you later." Le Yi said.
"Okay." Tian Dan nodded.
Everyone discussed for a while, but no result was achieved, so everyone came to the outside of the camp to prepare to attack the Qin army.
Since the Qin Army already has a complete method of defending against long-range attacks, there is no need for the Zhao Army to waste energy on re-researching it. They can just copy it and use it.
"Fire the arrow!" Tian Dan ordered.
Soon, tens of thousands of light arrows appeared in the sky and shot towards the Qin Army's camp. Just when the light arrows were about to fall into the Qin Army's camp, a strong earthy yellow light bloomed from the camp. Zhan Yun
Rolling, blocking most of the light arrows, leaving only a few that passed through the war cloud, making it difficult to cause further damage.
When all the light arrows fell, the war clouds above the Qin army gradually subsided and disappeared completely after a minute or two.
"A solidified battle formation? It doesn't look like it." A light flashed in Le Yi's eyes. He seemed to have discovered the weakness of the Qin army's defensive formation, "Give me a bow."
The guard next to him quickly took off the bow and arrow from his back and handed it to Le Yi.
Le Yi bowed and nocked an arrow without aiming, and casually shot an arrow in the direction of the Qin army's camp. The arrow gradually disappeared into the horizon, but the extraordinary general was still able to lock on to it.
The moment the arrows fell over the Qin army, the defensive formation covering the Qin army's camp rose again, blocking the arrows shot by Le Yi.
"Bai Qi didn't know what method he used to change the defensive battle formation into a large formation that is automatically maintained for a long time. It will be hidden at ordinary times and will automatically defend when attacked. However, the final general has discovered the weakness of the Qin army's formation.
No matter how many arrows are shot, even if there is only one arrow, the Qin army's defensive formation will all be activated."
"This kind of formation consumes a huge amount of internal energy and cannot be maintained for a long time, so it can only be hidden at ordinary times and appear when it is attacked. As long as we continue to attack the Qin army and consume the power of the formation, it will not be long before the formation
It will collapse." Le Yi said with a smile.
Qin Jun's idea is indeed clever, but at present, it is still a bit too rough. Maybe one or two improvements can be used on Zhao Jun. However, Le Yi still only has a few ideas on how to improve it, and it needs to be gradually tested later.
In the Qin Army camp, the smile on Bai Qi's face had long since disappeared, replaced by a face as cold as ice.
The formation that I had painstakingly studied for more than a month was actually cracked by Zhao Jun!
"General...General!" The general of the Qin army looked at Bai Qi timidly, fearing that the other party would be unhappy and give him a sword, "Are we still shooting?"
"You go back first." Bai Qi waved his hand. No matter how angry he was, he had no habit of taking his anger out on ordinary soldiers.
"There are still two problems that need to be solved now. One is the internal energy arrow. The consumption of physical arrows is too great and the lethality is not good. If this continues, it will not last long. We must develop a talent for internal energy arrows to continue to harass.
Zhao Jun." Bai Qi murmured.
It is not his character to not seek revenge.
He was disgusted by Zhao Jun for more than a month and had to be disgusted to go back.
"The second one is the problem of the defensive formation." Bai Qi raised his head and looked at the sky. Zhao Jun was still shooting arrows. There were only one or two arrows at a time, but the formation kept shooting because of these two arrows.
maintain.
In desperation, Bai Qi could only turn off the battle array.
"We have to find a way to adapt the overall defense into a local defense. The smaller the range that triggers the defense, the less internal energy consumed. Perhaps the formation can be changed from consuming internal energy to consuming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The internal energy is limited, but
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is infinite." Bai Qi thought as he walked back.
However, his energy alone is really limited. In the past month or so, studying the defensive formation and the ultra-long-range attack legion at the same time has tortured him to exhaustion. Even if he is exhausted now, he cannot study in three directions at the same time.
Sima Cuo was still training Qiang cavalry and had no time to help him.
Qin Wangji finally agreed to train the Qiang cavalry according to the training methods of the Qin army. Bai Qi made it clear to him that he should either strengthen the training of the Qiang cavalry or send the Qiang cavalry directly back.
He can accept a legion with average strength but obedience, but he will never accept a legion that is disobedient. No matter how strong he is, he would rather give such a legion to the opponent.
Naturally, the Qiang cavalry would not be obedient, but when they arrived in Qin, it was no longer up to them to decide whether to be obedient or not.
Bai Qi didn't attack them before. It wasn't that they were so powerful that even Bai Qi needed to be afraid, it was just because Qin Wangji didn't give the order.
With Qin Wangji's order, Bai Qi didn't have any worries. After giving Sima Cuo a few instructions, he handed over the training to Sima Cuo.
The Qiang cavalry originally united to resist, but after being easily suppressed by Sima Cuo with 10,000 Longxi cavalry, they became more obedient and began to cooperate with the Qin army in training.
In fact, even if Sima Cuo did not train Qiang cavalry, it would be difficult to help him.
Sima Cuo is already old, and his thinking and reaction abilities have declined by more than half compared to his peak years.
Back then, even Bai Qi didn't dare to guarantee that he could defeat Sima Cuo. Now, Bai Qi can feel that he has opened up a clear gap between the opponent.
"Go and call Wang Jian and Wang Jian." Bai Qi thought for a while and decided to leave the training of inner qi arrows to Wang Jian. As for Wang Jian, he still has a long way to go, so he can learn with him.
It didn't take long for Wang Lu and Wang Jian to rush over, clasping their fists and saying, "General."
"The ultra-long-range attack corps is ready, but we still need an internal energy arrow. I plan to leave it to you to complete." Bai Qi said to Wang Lu.
"The final general... doesn't know how to complete the inner energy arrow." Wang Lu said.
"It's very simple. You can first let the soldiers put their will on the arrow, and then take the arrow away after everyone is proficient, use their will to solidify their vitality to form an arrow, and then..." Bai Qi said.
"..." Wang Hao remained silent. How could this be simple? No one can complete any step, right! Only you will find it simple.
"General... work hard to finish it." In the end, Wang Hao agreed with a grimace.
"If you don't understand, you can come over and ask me." Bai Qi said.
"No." Wang Hao said.
Bai Qi looked at Wang Jian again: "You should stop leading troops to fight against Zhao Jun during this period. Leave the battle to Wan. You will not have the opportunity to command a war involving more than 100,000 people for the time being. The following wars are for you.
There is no problem anymore, and you won’t gain much experience if you continue to fight. Next, you will follow me and Wang Lu to learn to develop battle formations and train the legion’s talents.”
"The battle between the two armies is not only about the commander's command ability, but also about the eliteness of the soldiers, logistics, strategy, troop training, terrain, weather, people's hearts, adaptability, etc., which are all key points that affect the outcome. As the commander, we have to do
The purpose is to strengthen our army's strengths and make up for our army's shortcomings. Weaken the enemy's strengths and take advantage of the enemy's weaknesses. If you can do these things, there will be few people in the world who can be your opponent."
"Please bear this in mind, general," Wang Jian said solemnly.
Bai Qi brought Wang Lu and Wang Jian to the commander's camp. Bai Qi took out two volumes of books from the table, one was bamboo slips and the other was paper, and handed them to Wang Jian.
"These are my many years of experience in commanding troops. You can learn from them, but you can't follow my path. Only I can walk my path. If you follow it... you will die miserably. You can't build so many like me.
It’s evil to kill. Killing too much... harms the harmony of heaven and earth." Bai Qi said slowly.
He didn't have any scholastic knowledge. Not only Wang Jian, but also Wang Lu had read these manuals. However, Wang Lu's talent was limited and he didn't learn much. Even fewer dared to use them on the battlefield.
"General, I would like to thank you, general." Wang Jian bowed deeply, which was the kindness of preaching.
In the following period, the battlefield returned to calm again.
The Qin army was busy studying defensive formations and internal energy arrows, and at the same time training the Qiang cavalry.
Zhao Jun was also busy studying the defensive formation.
Zhao Jun's research speed is much faster than that of Qin Jun. Zhao Kuo, Le Yi, Tian Dan, Wei Wuji, Qin Kai, Pang Nuan... a large group of people gathered together, and they quickly studied the principles with each other. Once the model is almost complete, the model will be shaped, continuously improved, and then applied to the entire army.
In just half a month, Zhao Jun built an enhanced defensive formation.
No matter how many arrows the enemy fires, only the formations within one meter of the arrows will be triggered. The formations in other places will still be in a dormant state and will consume almost no energy.
Moreover, Zhao Jun's defensive formation does not need to consume internal energy and can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own.
However, Zhao Jun's research did not stop. Zhao Jun not only had to defend against the Qin Army's long-range attacks, but also created long-range attacks that could penetrate the Qin Army's defensive formations.
When the Qin and Zhao armies hated each other, Taizi Zhu also suffered the biggest blow in his life.
His father is not dead!
Even if he's not dead, he's almost crippled.
Fortunately, everyone objected and he was able to retain his position as prince.
Even so, he lost the qualification to supervise the country and was ordered to go back to the East Palace to think about his mistakes.
