No matter how Zhao and Qin criticized the Qiang Qi, in terms of physical fitness and personal skills, the Qiang Qi was indeed impeccable.
After the two sides got close, the Qiang cavalry quickly opened their bows and nocked arrows, even a little faster than Zhao Jun. With the sound of piercing the air, arrows all over the sky hit Zhao Jun like raindrops.
At the same time, Zhao Jun's arrows also shot out towards the Qiang Cavalry. Then all the cavalry put away their bows and arrows, and leaned tightly on their horses, relying on their horses to resist the Qiang Cavalry's arrow rain.
After rushing through the rain of arrows, Meng Ao suddenly pulled out his axe, and slashed forward. The Qiang cavalry and the horse underneath him were instantly split in half.
"Kill!" Meng Ao roared, charging into the Qin army's formation at the head of the horse, swinging his ax like the wind, and several rays of light flashed through, crushing the Qiang cavalry in front of him into powder.
Meng Wuqing was born out of blue and was better than blue. The shadow of the fire phoenix appeared from behind. With a wave of his horse, the wings of the fire phoenix shook. The Qin army's thousand generals and a dozen or so Qin soldiers around him suddenly turned pale and vomited blood.
, fell off the horse.
Meng Ao, Meng Wu and his son, one on the left and one on the right, were like two heavy sledgehammers hitting the chests of the Qiang cavalry, causing the entire Qiang cavalry's momentum to leak. Many soldiers were confused and subconsciously wanted to escape.
Their nature is to advance when it is advantageous and retreat when disadvantages arise. Their subconscious tells them that even if they can defeat the Zhao army in front of them, they will suffer heavy losses and it is not worth it.
However, Sima Cuo's training during this period made them curb their urge to escape.
When Sima Cuo trained them, regardless of whether they were guest soldiers or not, anyone who had any objections or wanted to escape would have long been turned into a corpse.
In the army, there is no second voice allowed.
"If you want to survive, kill the enemy!" Wan roared, killing Zhao Jun who was standing in front of him, and moved towards Meng Ao.
"Surrender without killing! You are Qiang people, there is no need to fight for Qin. Think about what Qin has done to you during this period." Meng Ao summoned up his inner strength and let his voice spread throughout the army.
The morale of the Qiang cavalry, who were originally fearful, dropped again. Their wives and children were not in Qin, so they were not afraid of Qin's threat to them.
Similarly, no matter how many Zhao troops they killed, they would not be rewarded by Qin.
Of course, they didn't know that Qin Wangji had no intention of returning them. If they performed well, they would be rewarded.
They just heard that the Central Plains was rich and wanted to follow the Qin army to plunder the Central Plains.
Nothing has been robbed now, and their only hope is to return alive.
"If you resist stubbornly, you will only die more. Haven't you noticed that Qin is consuming your strength?" Meng Wu said loudly.
The Qiang people who could understand the Mandarin of the Central Plains changed their expressions again. In every war, the Qin army gave them the most difficult cavalry to deal with. If they hadn't escaped quickly, there wouldn't be many left now.
"If we surrender, can you let us go back?" A Qiang man couldn't help but ask.
"Death." A light flashed in Wan's eyes, she raised her spear, and the tip of the spear sank into the chest of the Qiang man who had just asked, "Those who dare to surrender will die!"
"This general can only promise not to kill you, but I cannot guarantee whether I can let you go back. This will have to wait until the war is over." Meng Ao said as he swung his ax towards Wan.
Wan suddenly felt a hot breath coming towards him, and the ax grew bigger and bigger, almost covering the entire sky. Wan broke out in cold sweat from behind, and subconsciously raised his gun to drive away Meng Ao's axe.
The Qiang cavalry showed hesitation, but Meng Ao's words made them feel sincere. Zhao Jun would indeed not kill them.
The most important thing is that according to their calculations, even if they can defeat Zhao Jun, less than one-third of the people here can return alive. It is more likely that they will not be able to defeat Zhao Jun at all.
"If you don't surrender now, it will be too late to surrender when I defeat you." Meng Wu surrounded Wan from the other side.
"His grandma, don't fight, don't fight, I surrender." A Qiang rider said loudly.
This sentence of surrender became the last straw for the Qiang cavalry, causing the soldiers who had no intention of fighting to the death to completely lose their faith in fighting.
"Damn it!" Ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping in Wan's heart. I was famous all my life, but in the end I was tricked by the Qiang cavalry!
If I trust the Qiang Cavalry again in the future, I will die a good death!
The tip of the spear was pointed out one after another, and nine lotuses bloomed, killing all the Qiang cavalry on the side, quickly clearing a clearing, and Wan fled towards the distance without looking back.
"Still trying to escape!" Meng Ao took out three small axes from his horse bag and threw them at Wan.
Hearing the sound of breaking through the air behind him, Wan subconsciously turned around and waved his gun to resist.
when!
Two small axes were shot down, and the last one hit Wan's right shoulder. A sharp pain hit him instantly, and Wan could hardly hold on to the spear.
Whoosh!
At this moment, an arrow was shot towards Wan. Wan could not avoid it and watched the arrow hit his chest.
Not far away, Meng Wu set up a second arrow.
"General!" Several of the guards turned around and charged towards the Zhao army with splitting eyes. They were instantly torn to pieces by the Zhao army that surged up.
"Surrender or die!" Meng Ao pointed at Wan with the blade of his axe.
"Traitor! Even if I die, I will not surrender." Wan spat at Meng Ao and cursed loudly.
"Then you go die." There was no emotion on Meng Ao's face. The big ax drew a semicircle in the sky and struck Wan violently. His huge head shot up into the sky, and blood spurted out more than one meter high.
"Regulate the army and prepare for war!" Meng Ao looked at the Qin army coming to support from a distance and ordered.
…
"General, General Wan seems to have been killed by Zhao Jun. What should we do?" The Qin troops who came to support looked at the legion commander, their eyes full of worry. They are all infantry and cannot be the opponent of the cavalry, let alone the cavalry.
The number of Zhao troops is far greater than theirs.
"Withdraw!" Tao Cheng gritted his teeth and led the Qin army to withdraw towards the military camp.
If Wan was still leading the army to fight Zhao Jun, he would be punished by military law if he refused to save him. But now that Wan has been killed and the Qiang cavalry have surrendered, he will only die if he goes back.
"General... Zhao Jun is coming!" Qin Jun suddenly shouted in fear.
Tao Cheng quickly changed the battle formation from the gale formation to the motionless mountain formation. Earthy yellow war clouds rolled in the sky, bringing some comfort to the Qin army.
"The sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the archers are behind. When the Zhao army approaches, release the arrows immediately!" Tao Cheng took a deep breath and tried to calm down his heart.
The ground was shaking, Zhao Jun was getting closer and closer, and Tao Cheng could even see the ferocious smile on Meng Ao's face, as if he wanted to eat him.
"Fire the arrow!" Tao Cheng ordered.
However, Zhao Jun’s arrows were faster than Qin Jun’s!
As soon as the Qin army reacted, Zhao Jun's arrows had already appeared above their heads.
Puff puff!
The rain of arrows ruthlessly penetrated into the Qin army's body. The Qin army fell down one after another, and one third of it was instantly emptied.
"Brothers, charge! If you win, go back and eat meat!" Meng Ao roared, and the big ax slashed forward. The fiery red light bloomed from the big ax, drawing a line of more than ten feet long between the sky and the earth.
The gap split the Qin army in front of him, along with the Qin army's general, into two halves.
"We surrender." The remaining Qin troops knelt down and surrendered.
"You stay and gather the defeated army, and the others will follow me to attack the Qin army's camp." Meng Ao said to a thousand-man general beside him, and then led the Zhao army to rush towards the Qin army's camp.
Halfway through, Meng Ao met another Qin army that came to support. It also had only three to four thousand soldiers, and they were all infantry. They had not yet attacked, so they surrendered.
On the other side, Qin Kai led the Zhao army to attack Wang Jian.
Wang Jian was not surprised by the sudden appearance of Zhao Jun. It could even be said that he had expected it.
When Wang Jian arrived at the place where the beacon tower was lit for the first time and found no enemies, he realized that something was wrong. Zhao Jun's purpose was definitely not just to make them tired and tired by running back and forth.
However, although Wang Jian had some speculations in his mind, he had no good way to deal with it.
The strength of the Qin army was not as good as that of the coalition forces, and it was divided into various places. Its strength was greatly diluted. If Zhao army slightly increased its attack intensity, the Qin army would have to use all its strength to deal with it.
This fundamental gap cannot be bridged by one or two famous players.
Don't talk about him, even Bai Qi can't do anything
"Brothers, behind us is our home, where our parents, wives and children live. We cannot retreat even a step. I know that Zhao Jun is strong. But I will always be at the forefront. I don't ask you to fight to the end. I just want you to fight to the end.
Please follow me before I fall!"
"Jiujiu, Lao Qin, fight against the national calamity together! There will be a truce until the blood is shed!"
Wang Jian looked closer and closer and roared loudly.
"Jiujiu, old Qin, fight against the national calamity together! There will be a truce until the blood is shed!" All the Longxi cavalry roared to the sky, their voices piercing the cracks of gold and stone, and the strong murderous aura even infected the surrounding Qiang cavalry.
The Qiang people are divided into countless tribes, large and small. They all fight independently and have never been truly unified.
This kind of unity and common hatred is something the Qiang people have never experienced before.
"Kill!" Wang Jian took the lead and led the Qin army to kill the Zhao army.
"Young general!" Qin Kai's eyes showed approval, "It's a pity that you and I are enemies!"
War clouds were rolling fiercely in the sky. Both sides showed determination in their eyes. No one took a step back. The war instantly became intense.
Click!
The two sides collided with each other, and the cavalryman in the front fell to the ground. His horse's legs and neck were broken. The cavalryman fell off his horse due to the huge inertia. Without saying a word, he slashed at the opponent with his sword.
Qin Kai's talent gave the Zhao army a resilience far beyond that of ordinary armies. Even in chaotic battles, it still maintained its basic formation.
"Go to hell." A Zhao army's war horse was cut down by the Qin army. Before falling, he suddenly jumped on the Qin army and tore the Qin army off the horse. The two rolled together, neither letting the other go.
.
The power of talent!
Wang Jian's eyes narrowed. Although he didn't see any specific luster, Wang Jian knew that some talents were not embodied, just like him.
At his level, although he cannot tell what the other person's talent is at a glance, he can still determine whether the other person has talent.
At Bai Qi's level, basically as long as the opponent uses the talent, he can roughly judge the type and approximate effect of the talent.
But if you want to know the specific details, experience and eyesight alone are not enough, unless you cheat like Han Fei.
"Who are you?" Wang Jian rushed to Qin Kai and slashed at Qin Kai with his knife. He instantly felt a terrifying force coming from the handle of the knife.
This person's strength is still higher than mine!
Why have I never seen it before?
At this age, it was definitely not his first time leading troops in battle. Wang Jian knew most of Zhao's famous generals, and had met almost all of the older generation, but he had no impression of the man in front of him.
"Yan people, Qin Kai." Qin Kai said in a deep voice.
"But General Qin Kai, who defeated Donghu and expanded Yan's territory by two thousand miles?" Wang Jian suddenly thought of someone.
"That's right." Qin Kai said, not relaxing at all, but extremely serious. Wang Jian's strength is only slightly weaker than him. In time, it is inevitable to surpass him. As long as he is a little careless, he may be counter-pressured by Wang Jian.
"Have you also defected to Zhao? Don't you care about Yan being annexed by Zhao?" Wang Jian asked loudly.
Qin Kai remained silent.
"If the old general surrenders to our Qin State, our Qin State will definitely avenge the Yan State in the future." Wang Jian said again.
"The State of Yan is dead. Even if you take revenge, it is just revenge for the State of Qin. What does it have to do with the State of Yan? Besides, I am now the general of the State of Zhao. The young general should stop wasting his words." Qin Kai said, his hands suddenly speeding up.
speed.
Although he has no feelings for the State of Zhao, since he promised King Zhao, as long as the State of Zhao does not regret him, it is impossible for him to seek refuge with other countries.
To put it bluntly, even if the State of Zhao really felt sorry for him, he would only return to his hometown to live in seclusion, just like he once did in the State of Yan, instead of seeking refuge with the State of Qin.
As Qin Kai's strength gradually exploded, Wang Jian suddenly felt the pressure doubled and was speechless.
The strong blood evil aura spread on the battlefield. As more and more enemies were killed, the momentum of the Longxi cavalry became stronger and stronger. The blood-red inner energy filled the air from their bodies and even the Qiang cavalry were wrapped together.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Zhao Jun and Qin Jun were completely stunned. They almost gave up their defense and attacked each other with all their strength. Under the leadership of the Longxi cavalry, the Qiang cavalry seemed to have the courage to fight, and followed Longxi closely.
The cavalry rushed towards Zhao Jun.
While Meng Ao and Wan, Qin Kai and Wang Jian were fighting, one army after another rushed out of the Zhao army camp in an orderly manner and rushed to their respective battlefields.
Soon, countless beacon towers were lit on both sides of the rushing water, and smoke rose into the sky everywhere.
150,000 allied troops crossed the rapids, and all the Qin army camps were attacked, and the sound of fighting echoed throughout the rapids defense line.
"I want to see what Bai Qi can do if everything is attacked at the same time?" Zhao Kuo stood outside the camp and said with a smile.
No matter how powerful Bai Qi was, he could not change the fact that the Qin army was only half the number of the coalition forces, and the Zhao army was more elite than the Qin army, which meant that Zhao Kuo could crush the Qin army with twice the strength at any time.
Bullying the weak is an eternal law on the battlefield.
