The generals of the Qin army stood on the city wall, their faces livid, and they were extremely angry. Over the years, when had they not suppressed and beaten the enemy, and when had they ever suffered such humiliation?
"General, let's fight. If this continues, Zhao Jun's morale will be completely destroyed." A general looked at Bai Qi.
"Yes, general, we will fight Zhao Jun." Another general said.
It would be okay if Zhao Jun just attacked. Although they were at a disadvantage, they were not afraid of Zhao Jun at all, but Zhao Jun disgusted them every day. Who could stand this?
"Anyway, I can't bear it anymore. Even if I can't defeat Zhao Jun, I will kill all these traitors." Wang Hao yelled, took the bow and arrow from a soldier, and shot directly towards the city without having to aim.
go.
There was a sharp sound of breaking wind, three arrows pierced through the chest, and the soldiers fell to the ground.
The surrounding soldiers were so frightened that they retreated. They thought they were safe just outside the range of the Qin army's archers. They never thought that a transcendent general would shoot them personally.
Bai Qi silently watched everyone vent their emotions. He didn't want to fight, but the Qin army was struggling to defend, so there was no point in attacking.
However, if Zhao Jun is allowed to continue to provoke and he, as the commander-in-chief, remains indifferent, the morale of the Qin army will continue to decline.
If the morale of the army is at a low level for a long time, even he will not be able to bring it back once the two armies fight.
At that time, the Qin army really has only one way to go: defeat.
"Jun Wu'an, the king invites you to come and discuss matters." At this time, a guard came over and said with clasped fists.
"The general will be here soon." Bai Qi glanced in the direction of Zhao Jun, shook his head slightly, and followed the guards towards the king's tent.
"Your Majesty," Bai Qi saluted after entering the camp.
"Sit." Qin Wangji sat up from the bed, pointed to the stool and said, "Has Lord Wu'an found a way to defeat the enemy?"
"Your Majesty, the general has not yet found a way to defeat the enemy." Bai Qi said calmly.
In the past two months, it is not that he has not tried to take the initiative to attack, but the Zhao army's camps are very tightly arranged, layer upon layer, and echo each other. There are patrolling soldiers everywhere on the periphery, and the Zhao army has many famous generals and elite soldiers, guarding various areas.
at.
Unless he personally leads the team, it will be difficult for the Qin army to take advantage.
Once he personally leads a surprise attack on Zhao's camp, the main force of Zhao's army will inevitably attack Rangcheng, and then the entire Qin army will be in danger of overthrowing.
"Your Majesty, I feel that we cannot continue like this. Once our soldiers completely lose their fighting spirit, our army will definitely lose this battle." Fan Ju said with cupped hands.
Bai Qi understood why Qin Wangji called him over. It turned out to be because Fan Ju was there to encourage him.
It is true that what Fan Ju said makes sense. If this continues, the Qin army will lose this battle without fighting.
But the question is, what can the Qin army do if they don't continue?
Take the initiative to attack?
How to ensure victory?
Even if it's a small victory.
If you can't win, you might as well continue to be a coward, at least you can hold on a little longer.
"What do you think, Xiangguo?" Bai Qi looked at Fan Ju.
"Attack Zhao Jun's soldiers cooking meat. Zhao Jun has been cooking meat for seven days. Our army has not done anything. Zhao Jun's vigilance will inevitably drop. At this time, as long as our army is surprised, attack Zhao Jun and destroy all its pots and meat."
, Although it cannot cause Zhao Jun to suffer real losses, it can at least restore the declining morale of our army." Fan Ju said.
"What do you think, Mr. Wu An?" Qin Wangji looked at Bai Qi.
Since he called Bai Qi, he actually agreed with Fan Ju's idea, but if Bai Qi refused, he would not insist on giving the order.
Before this, he had said that Bai Qi was solely responsible for the battle, and others only had the right to make suggestions and not make decisions, including him.
"You can give it a try." After a while, Bai Dian nodded.
This matter is not risky for the Qin army. If it succeeds, it can restore part of the morale of the Qin army. If it fails, there will not be much loss.
"Wu An, please feel free to do it. If you fail, I will bear all the consequences." Qin Wangji said solemnly.
"Then let's get ready, general." Bai Qi cupped his fists and said.
Half an hour later, Wang Jian led 5,000 Longxi cavalry to fight out from the north gate. A dozen Qin soldiers who had defected were standing not far away, shouting at the top of their lungs. Before they could react, the Qin soldiers rushed in front of them.
A flash of sword light flashed, leaving only a pile of corpses on the ground.
The Qin army did not pause and continued to rush towards the Zhao army who was cooking meat.
When Zhao Jun saw Qin Jun rushing out, he ran away without saying a word.
"Not good!" Meng Wu was shocked and quickly led his cavalry to kill the Qin army.
Just as Fan Ju said, the Zhao army's vigilance inevitably dropped when they saw the Qin army huddled in the city for so many days. By the time Meng Wu reacted, all the Qin soldiers who had defected had been killed, and several Zhao soldiers were injured by arrows.
He was escaping with great difficulty in the direction of Zhao Jun.
"Still trying to escape." Wang Jian said coldly, taking out a big bow from his back and aiming at the fleeing Zhao Jun. As the bowstring was pulled, six light arrows slowly emerged.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Wang Jian loosened his fingers, and six light arrows flew out at the same time. The sharp sound of breaking wind sounded, and the six soldiers who fell at the back fell to the ground.
"The general's archery skills are really amazing." The deputy general praised.
"It's nothing to me. There used to be a sharpshooter named Yang Youji in Chu State who was really great." Wang Jian shook his head, pulled the bow string again, and aimed at the remaining Zhao army.
"You still want to kill me, Zhao Jun." Meng Wu roared angrily when he saw Zhao Jun was shot by Wang Jian. At the same time, he pulled the bowstring and shot six light arrows towards the arrows shot by Wang Jian.
boom!
Twelve light arrows collided in the air and exploded like fireworks in an instant.
"We met a master!" Wang Jian looked at Meng Wu warily.
"It's all my fault." Meng Wu was filled with hatred. If he had not relaxed his vigilance, even if he could not protect more than a dozen Qin troops who had defected, he could still ensure that Zhao Jun could escape safely.
As a result, because of his negligence, Zhao Jun killed six soldiers in vain.
"Go back quickly, leave this place to me." Meng Wu said to the soldiers who escaped, and then led his cavalry to kill Wang Jian.
After the distance was shortened, both sides fired arrows at the same time.
Ding ding ding!
Zhao Jun leaned forward and knocked down all the arrows fired at him. Some of the arrows that failed to hit him suddenly deflected strangely when they were about to hit Zhao Jun, and then grazed Zhao Jun's armor.
The clothes flew over.
Zhao Jun's arrows fell on Qin Jun, causing a series of explosions. Some of the horses were frightened and twisted uneasily. The cavalry carefully controlled the horses and had to slow down.
The originally neat battle formation became chaotic as a result.
Zhao Jun's cavalry and archery skills were far superior to Qin Jun's. When Qin Jun was about to shoot the second wave of arrows, Zhao Jun had already fired three waves of arrows.
All the soldiers put away their bows and arrows, took out their swords from their horse bags, and rushed into the Qin army's formation without hesitation. The bright lights of their swords cut through the sky like lightning, knocking down the oncoming Qin army to the ground.
"What's your name?" Wang Jian looked at Meng Wu.
Meng Wu didn't talk to him. Wang Jian didn't know him, but he knew Wang Jian when he was in the Qin State. He knew that Wang Jian was the number one among the young generation of the Qin State's military.
Not only did Qin think highly of Wang Jian, but Zhao Kuo also praised Wang Jian highly. He said more than once that among the younger generation in the world, Wang Jian was the first person under Li Mu.
Meng Wu was convinced of Li Mu. He even destroyed the Yan Kingdom. Not to mention the younger generation, even counting all the famous generals in the world, he was at the top.
But what achievements does Wang Jian have? Does he deserve to be tied with Li Mu?
"If I beat Wang Jian, I will be the second young person in the world." Meng Wu thought in his heart, and his movements could not help but speed up. The fiery red inner energy enveloped his whole body, and a huge fire phoenix shadow appeared behind him. As Ma Shan swept away, the fire
Feng let out a sharp chirp and rushed towards Wang Jian.
Wang Jian did not dodge or evade, and the blade rose up against the trend, rolling up dozens of feet of light, like a river of stars flowing upstream, covering half of the sky.
The two forces collided in the sky, and there was a harsh creaking sound at the intersection, accompanied by a flash of light. Meng Wu waved the horse again, the fiery red aura rolling around his body, the wings of the fire phoenix shadow behind him shook, and the sharp phoenix cry sounded.
Echoes in heaven and earth.
boom!
Wang Jian suddenly felt a force that forcibly changed the direction of his attack, deflecting his power in another direction. He couldn't control it for a moment and exploded. The fire phoenix shadow took advantage of the situation and hit Wang Jian's chest.
, the outermost armor cracked, revealing the inner armor.
Wang Jian retreated continuously, his horse whining loudly.
When Wang Jian and Meng Wu collided, their horses were also fighting hard. Meng Wu's horse was a Hun horse captured during the Battle of Hetao. It was originally at the peak of the Gangyuan Realm, and was only one step away from reaching the Transcendent Realm.
.
A month ago, after absorbing a small amount of Imperial Liquid, he successfully broke through to the transcendent realm and became a rare divine horse in the world.
Although Wang Jian's war horse is also a divine horse, there is still some gap between it and Meng Wu's war horse. In just a few breaths, his neck was bitten and bruised everywhere.
"You are strong!"
Wang Jian's eyes were solemn. He didn't expect that a little-known young man sent by Zhao Guo could have such strength.
"Now that you're here, let's stay." Meng Wu said in a deep voice and attacked Wang Jian again.
Meng's force was so powerful that the heavy horse was as light as nothing in his hands. Every attack made Wang Jian's arms numb, but every time Wang Jian attacked, he would feel a force pulling him, causing his attacks to deflect.
fold.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but feel a little restrained, unable to exert his full strength.
Wang Jian looked to the side and found that the entire Qin army was affected.
"Is this your talent?" Wang Jian's face turned cold. The other party actually had talent and was definitely a leader among the younger generation.
"Haha." Meng Wu sneered twice and said nothing, but moved his hands a little faster.
He has no interest in explaining his talents to his enemies.
"Let's retreat!" Wang Jian was very decisive. After realizing that nothing could be done, he immediately ordered a retreat without any hesitation.
"Keep them!" At this time, Yan Ju led Zhao Feiqi and rushed over, and the rain of arrows that covered the sky covered the Qin army's rear.
Although they are from the same line, the destructive power of Zhao Feiqi's arrows is much stronger than that of ordinary Hebei elite cavalry. Qin troops who were hit by arrows kept falling from their horses and fell to the ground. Even if they were only affected by the explosion, they would be injured.
"Okay!" Meng Wu's eyes shone with light. If he was alone, it would be impossible for Qin Jun to keep him if he wanted to leave. But with Zhao Feiqi, it would be different.
Zhao Feiqi was extremely fast. When Wang Jian saw them, he rushed in front of them in less than ten breaths.
There was a flash of sword light, and before the Longxi cavalry could react, the hundreds of soldiers at the rear fell to the ground.
"Zhao Feiqi!" Wang Jian said in a deep voice, his body trembling slightly, not because of fear, but because of anger.
For the first time, he deeply felt the weakness of the Longxi cavalry. They could not defeat the ordinary elite cavalry of the Zhao state. Facing the Zhao army, they had no power to resist, just like a three-year-old child facing an adult.
Logically speaking, the Qin State developed cavalry no later than the Zhao State. Although there was a period of time in which they stood still, even if they started to pursue them later, there would not be such a big gap.
It's normal that he can't defeat Zhao Feiqi, but he can't defeat other elite cavalry, which is a problem.
Are the people of Qin inferior to the people of Zhao? Absolutely not!
Are Qin's war horses inferior to Zhao's war horses? No!
Is it because the equipment is not as good as that of Zhao Jun? Not at all.
What the Zhao army has, the Qin army has.
"I'm too incompetent! If I could be stronger, if I kept winning, bringing more strength to the army... everything might be different." Wang Jian lamented in his heart.
His talent is very powerful. Every time he wins a victory, he can bring one thousandth of all attribute bonuses to his army, and it will not be deducted if he loses.
But over the years, he only won two battles, one was to destroy the Yuezhi, and the other was to follow Bai Qi to defeat the Wei army and kill Mang Mao.
There are very few improvements that can be brought to the army under his command.
"Since you are not strong enough, then train and fight! If Zhao Jun can do it, there is no reason why I, Qin Jun, can't do it. I, Wang Jian, am not weaker than anyone." Wang Jian's eyes were extremely firm, and with a wave of his long sword, he killed a
Zhao Fei was killed and fell from his horse.
"Brothers, follow me and kill. The opponent is a military spirit army. Kill one without losing anything, but kill two with profit." Wang Jian roared, an inexplicable will infected the Longxi cavalry behind him, and the Qin army gradually became firmer and tightened.
Follow closely behind Wang Jian.
"Kill!" At this time, Sima Cuo led the Qiang cavalry to kill Wang Jian.
Bai Qi also led the Qin army to come here.
However, there were not many soldiers under Bai Qi's command, and they stopped not far from the city, waiting in formation in place.
Obviously, Bai Qi did not intend to take this opportunity to have a fight with Zhao Jun, as long as he could get Wang Jian back.
"Retreat!" Yan Ju and Meng Wu pursued them not far from Rangcheng before returning to the army.
"The last general will fail the general's trust." Wang Jian came to Bai Qi, got off his horse, and said with fists in his hands.
"Do you feel the difference between our cavalry and Zhao's cavalry?" Bai Qi said in a deep voice.
"I feel it." Wang Jian nodded.
"Where?" Bai Qi said.
"Faith, faith that has never failed." Wang Jian said.
