Qin Wangji, Bai Qi, Fan Ju, Wei Ran, Lu Buwei and others all stood at the top of the city. Looking around, smoke was billowing along the entire rapids, and countless beacon towers were lit.
Fierce sounds of fighting came from afar, the air was filled with a chilling atmosphere, and even the rushing water was faintly red.
"Zhao Jun has launched a general offensive." Wei Ran said in a deep voice.
They had already anticipated this general attack. If they were Zhao Jun, they would choose to cut off the enemy's wings first and then target the enemy's main force.
It's just that they didn't expect the general attack to come so quickly.
"If our army can win this battle, it will successfully turn the tide of the war. If it fails..." Fan Ju suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
But everyone understood what Fan Ju meant. If the Qin army was defeated, the Tuoshui defense line would be completely lost. The only way out for the Qin army was to retreat to Wuguan, analyze the city, and stay on the central defense line.
That is the last line of defense in Guanzhong.
From a geographical point of view, Rangcheng is located in a plain with no mountains to rely on. It is not a majestic city in the world. The rapid water it relies on provides limited advantages, and it is not a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The reason why the Qin army has been unwilling to abandon Rangcheng and retreat to Wuguan is to have an extra line of defense and an extra buffer zone.
No one can guarantee that Wuguan will be able to stop Zhao Jun.
But as long as Rangcheng is still there, there will be no losses in Wuguan, and the Zhao army will not be able to attack the pass.
Of course, another reason is that all the way south from Rangcheng is Nanjun, which was also the location of the capital of Chu State. This is the most prosperous place in Qin State besides Guanzhong.
Once Rangcheng is lost, Nanjun will directly face the attack of the coalition forces.
Qin was unwilling to give up Nanjun.
Bai Qi looked at Zhao Jun's handsome flag that was vaguely visible in the distance, his right hand subconsciously pressed on the hilt of his sword, and his cold eyes exuded endless killing intent.
"Your Majesty, the generals, and the soldiers are all ready." Xin Wu climbed onto the city wall, walked quickly in front of everyone, and said with cupped fists.
"Your Majesty, the city is in danger, please go back and wait." Bai Qi turned to Qin Wangji and said.
"Okay, I will go back and wait for the good news from Lord Wu An." Qin Wangji nodded, turned around and left the city.
"Act according to the plan." Bai Qi's eyes flashed across everyone's faces one by one, and finally ordered.
"No." Everyone clasped their fists and saluted, stepped down the city wall one by one, and led their respective legions to the battlefield.
"Follow me to kill the enemy!" Finally, Bai Qi boarded the chariot and led the Qin army towards the Zhao army's camp.
…
"Sure enough, Bai Qi chose to attack the central army of our army!" Zhao Kuo looked at the Qin army's battle flag getting closer and closer and ordered, "beat the drum."
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The powerful soldiers stood in front of the war drums, waving their arms vigorously, and the heavy drums resounded throughout the world. All the soldiers were refreshed, grasped their weapons with both hands, and were ready to fight at any time.
In the sky, the war clouds quickly solidified, then continued to roll, becoming thicker and thicker, and finally condensed into a huge crescent moon. The moonlight fell like strands of golden threads on the soldiers, and the morale of the army began to rise.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
All the soldiers shouted loudly, the sound shook the sky, and the turbulent water stirred up waves more than a foot high.
After receiving the order, the sword-and-shield soldiers carrying a large shield in the center began to advance slowly. The cavalry on both wings continued to increase in speed and gradually distanced themselves from the large army.
The Qin army stopped on the bank of the rushing water, waiting for the Zhao army to rush over.
Over the years, the Zhao cavalry has established a mark of invincibility on the battlefield, and even Bai Qi had to admit it.
The Qin army formed an array on the bank of the turbulent water and was able to use the river water to effectively weaken the Zhao army and gain an advantage for the Qin army.
If the Qin army is victorious, the turbulent water can still block the Zhao army's path and buy the Qin army more time to kill the enemy.
Bai Qi did not send any cavalry. Most of the Qin army's cavalry were taken away by Wang Jian and others. There were only 10,000 Qiang cavalry left around him. He was no match for the Zhao army. Even if he sent out, he would be destined to die.
Bai Qi ordered them to stay on the outside and look for opportunities. As soon as the Zhao army showed weakness, they would attack immediately. If the Zhao army remained strong, they would choose to avoid fighting.
This was also to prevent the Qiang cavalry from rebelling or surrendering, which would affect the Qin army.
Although Bai Qi had not yet received the news that the Qiang cavalry led by Wan had surrendered to the Zhao army, it did not affect his distrust of the Qiang cavalry.
Even if Sima Cuo has trained the Qiang cavalry very well, the Qiang cavalry cannot really change without going through the baptism of several wars.
"Fire the arrow!" Zhao Kuo ordered.
The Shesheng camp stood on both sides of Zhao Kuo. The first two rows were tall crossbows, the middle three rows were hand-held crossbows, and the last rows were bows and arrows.
After receiving Zhao Kuo's order, all the soldiers began to attack at the same time, and arrows shot out. After flying into the air, the arrows began to split, some split into two arrows, and some split into three arrows.
Some soldiers can even split into five arrows.
Half of the sky was covered by dense rain of arrows, which then poured down towards the Qin army.
Bai Qi's pupils shrank and he clenched his hands subconsciously. Zhao Jun's long-range attack army became stronger!
At the same time, the Qin Army's crossbow battalion also launched an attack. The arrows from both sides collided and intertwined in the sky, and sparks bloomed. Arrows continued to fall to the ground, but more arrows still followed the previous trajectory, heading towards
The opponent attacks.
Both sides raised their large shields at the same time, and a series of explosions suddenly sounded in the Qin army. Under the continuous blows of arrows, the large shields exploded, shooting the Qin army behind them into hedgehogs.
A smile appeared on Zhao Kuo's face, and a wave of arrows rained down. The number of Qin troops who fell was at least ten times that of Zhao Jun.
Bai Qi was able to build an elite crossbow army in such a short period of time, and even had the ability to strike at ultra-long distances. He was already very strong, but the time given to him was ultimately too short.
A person's energy is limited. If you have to focus on everything, you are bound to be unable to cover everything.
The Zhao army did not stop because of the turbulent water. Lecheng and Touman led the Zhao army through the turbulent water. At the same time, the Qin army's arrow rain also hit the two armies.
The Youyun cavalry did not dodge or evade, and relied entirely on their own defense to resist the Qin army's arrows. No one fell off their horses. After reaching the charging distance, everyone began to accelerate at the same time, charging towards the Qin army with great momentum.
"Let's all die." Touman roared, and black-red light bloomed from the long knife, like a meteorite piercing the sky, instantly smashing the Qin army in front of him into pieces.
This was his first time leading an army in battle, and everyone had doubts about him. Only King Zhao, against all opinions, allowed him to lead an army alone.
He also told him that if his performance was good enough, after this battle, he could be appointed as the commander of the legion and lead a legion forever.
Touman didn't know why Zhao Kuo valued him, but he knew that he wanted to get ahead and this was his only chance.
This battle is his gantry. As long as he can overcome it, his future will be infinitely broad.
The Hebei cavalry under Touman were basically former Huns, and their cavalry and shooting skills were still higher than those of the Qiang people. After the battles in the previous year, their will had already undergone radical changes.
They have only one goal, to kill the Qin people and make meritorious deeds!
As long as a Qin soldier is killed or captured, they can become Zhao people, have household registration, own a house and land, and can marry and have children.
If they kill two or more Qin soldiers, they can also obtain a title, a larger house, more land, more rewards, and even a fief.
They have no concept of family and country. They were Huns before, but now they are trying to become Zhao people.
Because it’s better to be a Zhao person.
They don't want to go back to the time when they didn't have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm.
"Kill!" Touman took the lead, rushing into the Qin army's formation with an unrivaled momentum, and then tore apart the Qin army's defense line like a torrent.
The cavalry behind them filed in along the cracked place, attacking left and right, constantly expanding the Qin army's weaknesses.
The Qin army looked ferocious and tried their best to block the Zhao army with their big shields, but the heavy shields seemed extremely thin at this moment. With a wave of Touman's broadsword, a row of shields exploded, and the Qin army behind them was split into two, and blood sprayed out.
came out, dyeing the ground red.
The commander of the Qin Army kept commanding the soldiers to come forward, but he himself shrank back.
Zhao Jun, a young general, is too scary. Even if he steps forward, he cannot block the opponent, and he may not even be able to block him for one round.
He is just an ordinary Gangyuan Realm warrior. He is considered ordinary even in the Gangyuan Realm. There is absolutely no way he can be an opponent in the Extraordinary Realm, even if the opponent is suppressed by Zhan Yun.
Everyone knows that the Extraordinary Realm is not invincible on the battlefield, and it often does not show much effect. But when one's own side does not have a corresponding strong person, one will immediately feel the power of the Extraordinary Realm strong person.
At this moment, there is only one Transcendent Realm powerhouse in the Qin Army, Bai Qi. Even if you include the deputy general of the Black Armored Army and the commander of the Fei Lian Army, two pseudo-Extraordinary Realm experts who rely on military souls, there are only three.
He is far from a match for Zhao Jun.
"Cut the legs of Zhao Jun's horse. As long as Zhao Jun can't run, we will win." The commander of the Qin Army ordered loudly.
What he said was not wrong, but if he huddled in the rear, how could he cut off the Qin army's horse's legs? How could he prevent the Zhao army from running?
The generals of the Zhao army rushed to the front. On the other hand, our own generals did not know where they were hiding. Only the sound came. The Qin army had long since lost the confidence to fight against the Zhao army. Even if it could muster the courage to cut off Zhao Jun's horse legs with all its strength, it would still be impossible.
Will be quickly killed by Zhao Jun.
When Touman heard the sound, he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the commander of the Qin Army. The commander of the Qin Army instantly felt his heart tightening, as if he was being stared at by an ancient ferocious beast, and his whole body trembled.
"Death!" Touman took out the long bow from his back and aimed at the commander of the Qin Army. As soon as he loosened his finger, the arrow flew out instantly, hitting the opponent's chest. The huge force flew the commander of the Qin Army away until it penetrated the third one.
The soldiers just stopped.
"Haha!" Touman put away his bow and arrow, looked in the direction of Bai Qi, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, with a ferocious smile on his lips. This was the number two figure in the Qin Army and the true commander-in-chief of the Qin Army. King Zhao was very interested in him.
He attached great importance to it and even adjusted the reward for killing Bai Qi to be the same as killing King Qin.
"When I kill Bai Qi, who in the entire Zhao Kingdom dares to look down on me?" Touman's eyes gradually became crazy, his broadsword curled up with black and red light, and the crazy evil spirit strangled the enemies around him, heading towards Bai Qi's location.
Kill.
"Huh?" Bai Qi immediately noticed that there was a problem with the right wing. Just as he was about to send troops to support, there was also a problem with the left wing. Le Cheng had already led the Yanyun cavalry to kill the Qin army in front of him, and was almost approaching the position of the crossbow corps.
The crossbowmen do not have any melee combat capabilities. As long as they are approached by the Zhao army, the consequences can be imagined.
"Hahaha, the Qin army turns out to be so vulnerable!" Le Cheng laughed loudly.
The Qin army was once invincible in the world, and Sima Cuo Baiqi and others were even more invincible. They destroyed Bashu, forced the Chu state to move its capital, and overwhelmed the six eastern kingdoms.
When Yan fought with him, he and Lian Po were even more afraid of the strength of the Qin army and did not dare to fight.
Only now did he realize that there is no eternally victorious army in the world.
Once Qi's martial arts and Wei's soldiers were invincible in the world, they eventually declined. Later, the Qin army swept across the world, and no other country could match it. Now it is suppressed by the Zhao army.
The Youyun cavalry became more and more courageous as they fought. The rich black aura almost completely enveloped the body. The moonlight fell on the armor, like light spots flowing, and the strong aura was about to break through the Qin army's battle cloud.
The Qin army's arrow rain continued to fall on Youyun Iron Cavalry, shooting out a series of sparks. The speed of Youyun Iron Cavalry was not affected in any way, and no soldier fell due to this.
The Youyun Iron Cavalry did not even use the ability to distort the force field, and could block the Qin army's arrow rain with just an eggshell defense.
These ordinary bows and arrows are not even enough to scratch their itch.
Whoosh whoosh!
At this moment, an extremely sharp sound of breaking through the air came from his ears. The Youyun cavalry instantly sensed the danger, activated his talent to the extreme, and at the same time waved his horse to sweep away the flying light arrows.
"Strike of will?" A light arrow shot at Le Cheng's shoulder and failed to penetrate him, but Le Cheng felt a weak willpower rush into his brain.
The movements of the Youyun Iron Cavalry who were hit by arrows were immediately stagnant, and even their running speed slowed down. Seeing this, the surrounding Qin troops seized the opportunity and rushed towards the Youyun Iron Cavalry.
Many cavalry were pulled off their horses by the Qin army, or their horses' legs were cut off by the Qin army, and they fought with them. The casualties of the cavalry increased instantly.
The smile on Le Cheng's face disappeared without a trace, and his face was so gloomy that he could almost squeeze out water.
The Youyun Iron Cavalry has extremely strong defense and is immune to almost all ordinary attacks. Even the Army Soul Legion can withstand it. However, it has a weakness, that is, it cannot be immune to and defend against will attacks.
Will attacks have no effect of vision field distortion at all. Even if it is displayed in the form of a light arrow, force field distortion cannot distort the speed of the light arrow. Eggshell defense is a magical skill for defending against physical attacks, but it has almost no effect on will attacks.
.
If it weren't for the weak willpower of the Qin Army's crossbow corps, and the Youyun Cavalry itself had a strong will, this wave of arrow rain would not have simply brought down more than a hundred soldiers, and could have cost nearly a thousand.
.
Although bows and arrows alone cannot achieve such a large lethality, Youyun Iron Cavalry is surrounded by Qin troops who are eyeing them. As long as they show any flaws, these Qin troops will rush up and bite them into pieces.
