"Wang Jian, we are indeed here." After receiving the report from the scouts that he encountered the Qin army's cavalry, Pang Nuan looked at the terrain map and sighed, "Choose a place to camp and be careful to prevent the Qin people from taking advantage of my unstable footing. Sneak attack."
"promise."
As expected, Wang Jian sent out his cavalry to harass the Zhao army before they could build a camp.
Under the tight defense of Zhao Jun, this kind of harassment will not achieve great results. It is mainly to test Zhao Jun's current military appearance.
As a result, the Zhao army did not seem to be demoralized by the bad situation at home. They were well prepared, with scouts on the road and traps in the sky, making the Qin army's sneak attack completely impossible to implement.
After receiving the feedback from the soldiers, he gave a small compliment to his ninety-year-old opponent, "The capital of the country was threatened by our army, and even after retreating from the Jicheng battlefield, the morale did not decline. This old guy Pang Nuan is quite capable." . Let’s compete again in formation tomorrow to see how effective he is in combat.”
The next day, both sides set up their battle formations, with hundreds of thousands of people in formation, banners covering the sky and the sun, and the wilderness full of iron horses fighting.
Wang Jian stood on the general's chariot, scanned the military formation on the opposite side, slapped the railing of the chariot and ordered: "Be the first to attack, say hello to Pang Nuan."
Throwing stones, giant crossbows, long bows, and a combination of long-range attacks penetrated the Zhao army's formation. The infantry on the ground slowly advanced after the crossbowmen fired a few waves.
The ordinary ordnance of the Zhao army was not much different from that of the Qin army. They also returned the favor and the front army met the enemy.
Pang Nuan calmly watched the front troops of both sides engage in close combat after being killed by long-range attacks. The strength of his own army was not weaker than that of his opponent. Judging from the close combat alone, the two sides were divided into 50 to 50.
My goal is to cross Wang Jian and return to save Handan. The Qin army has such strength. If Wang Jian just wants to hold on and hold me back, then even if I have great abilities, I will not be able to save it. Wang Jian, I am waiting for you to achieve this feat. Come and get it, don’t be afraid to attack~
The wooden railing in his hand was crushed to pieces, and Pang Nuan ordered to the army: "The iron cavalry rushes into the formation and crushes the opponent's giant crossbow camp and slinging camp."
Two cavalrymen rushed out from the right side of the Zhao army's formation. In addition to the heavy armored cavalry, they also followed a light cavalry group. They bypassed the main battlefield and came over to kill them.
Wang Jian saw that the cavalry was dispatched so hastily, and sneered: "Humph, if Pang Nuan wants to save Handan, he can only break through my defense line quickly. This old guy has lost his mentality."
"The heavy armored shield soldiers blocked the first wave of charge of the iron cavalry. There is no need to retain the armor-piercing crossbow. Keep this cavalry."
The iron cavalry rushed into the heavy armored infantry formation, the iron shields shattered, people turned on their backs, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the god of death on the cold weapon battlefield began to show his figure.
The light cavalry team hung behind the iron cavalry, using their cavalry skills to continuously kill and injure the armor-piercing soldiers behind the heavy armored infantry formations, weakening the crossbow arrow attack suffered by the iron cavalry.
Seeing the cavalry gradually breaking into the formation, Ying Jue, who was the supervisor of the army, took the initiative to ask for help from Wang Jian, who was silent. "General, if this cavalry will disturb the position of the three armies, he will be handed over to my forbidden army."
Ying Jue is currently the most respected young man in the Qin Palace, a ruthless man who dares to kill his relatives. This forbidden army has been trained by him for many years, and it is really different from the previous forbidden troops.
Wang Jian saw Ying Jue's resolute attitude and did not bother him, "The purpose of this cavalry is the equipment camp. Since you asked for your order, I will leave it to you."
"Don't worry, general." Ying Jue accepted the order and waved his hand for the herald to raise the flag.
Dian Wei, who was behind him, saw the flag from a distance, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Boys, charge with me! Kill——"
During the Lao Ai Rebellion, some members of the Forbidden Army actually participated in the rebellion. Lu Yan took over for a short period of time. Later, Ying Jue killed Ying Yan and became the real leader of the Forbidden Army.
All the Forbidden Army are the descendants of the old Qin people, and there are also many clan members of the Qin Kingdom's official family. They enjoy extremely high treatment and undergo strict training. This team that usually lives in the center caught up with such an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Everyone was howling with excitement.
Under the leadership of Dian Wei, a fierce general who broke the formation and charged, the imperial army rushed to the front of the Zhao army's cavalry with lightning speed.
"Hahaha, after so many years, my ax is almost rusty. Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Dian Wei rushed into the melee and started killing without hesitation. There was no one who could defeat him. Although his copper skin and iron bones were not as good as Dian Qing's, they were not something that these soldiers could hurt.
The cavalry was in chaos.
Wang Jian knew that the Forbidden Army was very strong, but he did not expect it to be so strong. He looked at the team that was fighting back and asked, "Who is this fierce general who is charging into the battle?"
"Jue's lieutenant general Dian Wei, one man's courage is worthless to ten thousand men."
He had a good memory, and he found the information after searching in his mind, "It turns out to be him. When the king crowned him, the 3,000-strong fire cavalry under Yong City defeated the 30,000-strong fire cavalry. Meng Tian, Dian Wei, and Su Lie were missing.
No wonder I haven’t heard of his reputation in these years. It turned out that he was in the Forbidden Army.”
Wang Jian saw that Dian Wei kept moving forward fiercely, and issued another military order, "After eating this cavalry, the imperial army will retreat. Do not rush out of the formation. The light cavalry cannot catch up, so let them run."
Pang Nuan saw the fate of this iron cavalry from a distance, and cursed fiercely in his heart: Wang Jian, with such a huge advantage, why are you so timid?
On the first day of the tentative confrontation between the two sides, Pang Nuan finally took the lead in giving the order to retreat, worriedly, "Retreat troops with gold."
The Qin army did not pursue them, but also withdrew its troops and returned to the camp.
In the Qin army's camp, Wang Jian put the helmet under his arm on the shelf, recalled the scene of the battle, and laughed, "This Pang Nuan is obviously confused. Compared with the last time we fought, this time he looks too much."
Very anxious."
Ying Jue nodded and agreed with him, "Pang Nuan wants to break through our army, but in terms of the overall situation, his chances are extremely slim. He is worried about the safety of Handan, which led to his performance today."
"I think so too. With Pang Nuan's eagerness, there should be a high probability of a night attack. Send the order to be on guard."
"Yes, General."
"The enemy is eager to break through our army, so sooner or later he will reveal a fatal flaw. Our army mainly focuses on holding on, and I would like to see what kind of tricks Pang Nuan can use."
Wang Jian's new order aroused the doubts of the generals in the camp.
Ah? This is different from what you said before. Didn’t you say you wanted to give Pang Nuan a big gift?
"General, our army has such a huge advantage, why not take the initiative?"
"Yes, General, with the strength of our army, even if we attack Zhao Jun's stronghold, Zhao Jun will definitely be defeated. Why do we still insist on delaying the time?"
"With the hundreds of war-gods' crossbows, the Zhao army's stronghold is in vain. General, our army can completely defeat the Zhao army."
Wang Jian waved his hand to silence the generals. The greatest confidence of the Qin army was that they could afford it. If there was no Hundred War God's Crossbow, he originally planned to kill Pang Nuan like this.
Now that he had a weapon that could kill him, the lieutenant-general in the army began to think of underestimating the enemy. Before he could find out what Pang Nuan was like, he felt that he needed to be more stable.
"Pang Nuan, are you really just like that, or do you have other intentions?"
