"It turns out that I, the Great Wei...are actually so powerful."
Wei Ji, Lord of Lintao, who had experienced hundreds of battles, was shocked and speechless by the scene he witnessed.
The Wei State of the Zhao family in the Central Plains was very powerful. Wei Ji had no doubt about this, but he did not have a specific idea of how powerful it was.
But now, this "Qin-Wei Hangu Battle" finally made him understand that the strength of Zhao's Wei State in the Central Plains lies in their ability to completely suppress the Qin army, even if they are outnumbered.
The weapons, equipment and war weapons of the Qin army and the Wei army are not at the same level at all.
"As His Highness Prince Su said, this is indeed a... massacre."
When saying these words, Lintao Lord Wei Ji felt that his throat was a little dry.
He felt a little at a loss because he found that after leading troops in Longxi for more than 20 years, he now arrived in Zhao's Wei Kingdom and could not understand the war in the Central Plains.
It seems that in the Central Plains, the era of commanders relying solely on their personal bravery and resourcefulness has passed, and soldiers have gradually become the protagonists on the battlefield.
For example, at this time, in the sight of Lintao Lord Wei Ji, several Shang Shui soldiers were celebrating and cheering because these soldiers had just killed a general of the Qin army with a giant crossbow that was different from the continuous crossbow.
It would be extremely rare for an ordinary soldier to kill an enemy general in Longxi.
However, in this battle, it is said that nearly ten generals of the Qin army, large and small, were shot dead by the soldiers of the Shang Shui army with those weird giant crossbows.
As the saying goes, to shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first, capture the king. If you can kill the enemy general on the battlefield, this is certainly a good thing. After all, if the enemy general is killed, the remaining
The enemy soldiers will obviously fall into chaos and become a mess due to loss of command.
But the question is, when did this become so easy?
Licking his lips, Lintao Lord Wei Ji asked with a strange expression: "Your Highness, King Su, is this the way of war in the Central Plains?"
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Lintao Lord Wei Ji in confusion, and then seemed to understand something, and explained with a smile: "No, this is because I want to try a new tactic... What do you think, Master Wei Ji?"
After hearing this, Lintao Lord Wei Ji felt a sense of relief.
After thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "The tactics of killing the enemy very quickly are just like massacre..."
Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly when he heard this.
It is undeniable that the pace of this battle was very fast. On the one hand, it was because the Wei army killed the enemy troops quickly, and on the other hand, it was because Zhao Hongrun had cast a heavy bait.
Zhao Hongrun gave the Qin army the opportunity to quickly seize the Wei camp in Hangu. This kind of opportunity does not come randomly. After all, Zhao Hongrun can be regarded as an experienced commander in leading troops. If it was not to achieve a certain purpose, how could it be possible?
Will it be possible to display an army far smaller than the enemy's army in front of the camp?
It was just to lure the Qin army to attack fiercely.
No, in the face of the heavy bait thrown by Zhao Hongrun, the Qin army's general Wang Lu, although he clearly saw that the troops on the front line of the battlefield suffered heavy casualties, was still unwilling to withdraw his troops.
If he had known that the war situation would evolve to this point, I believe that the Qin Army General Wang Lu would have chosen to withdraw his troops at the beginning, when the thousands of Ge Dun soldiers were shot to death by the Wei Army's crossbows.
Perhaps, just don't invite a fight at all.
But now, not only did the Ge Dun soldiers suffer thousands of casualties, but most of the tens of thousands of tattooed soldiers were also killed. To make matters worse, even the chariot convoy was partially destroyed.
And what about the Qin army’s victory? Zero!
After paying such huge casualties, the Qin army still has zero results and cannot even effectively kill a Wei soldier.
This disparity is really too great.
Looking at everything on the battlefield, Wang Hao seemed to be riding a tiger that was unable to get off.
He knew very well that unless he defeated the Wei army on the opposite side today and took the Hangu Wei camp, the responsibility caused by this tragic defeat would most likely cause him to lose everything he has now.
But the problem is that the powerful crossbows of the Wei army are so powerful that even Wang He was horrified and frightened.
"what to do?"
Wang Lu thought silently.
After a while, he took a deep breath and made a decision: fight!
A look of determination flashed in the tiger's eyes. Wang Hao took a long knife from the hands of the guards on the left and right, turned to Qin Shaojun and said: "Young Master, please rest here for a while. I will come back when I go."
After that, he didn't wait for Qin Shaojun to react, rode his horse forward, and shouted: "The three armies obey the order! ...The target is the Wei army in front, the entire army attacks!"
Hearing this, the Qin army's phalanx of Ge shield soldiers, phalanx of Chang Ge soldiers, phalanx of crossbowmen, and phalanx of cavalry began to charge forward in accordance with the order.
This decisiveness surprised Zhao Hongrun.
To be honest, in Zhao Hongrun's view, what the Wei army is least afraid of is the "refueling tactic", which is a tactic in which the Qin army gradually invests more troops. The Wei army's continuous crossbows, machine-operated crossbow boxes and crossbowmen will use this tactic.
The enemy troops understood that as long as the Wei army had enough crossbow bolts, even hundreds of thousands or millions of enemy troops could not get close to them.
The only thing the Wei army cared about was that the Qin army pushed all its troops onto the battlefield regardless of everything.
After all, the Wei army's array only had 10,000 soldiers each from the Shang Shui Army and the Yanling Army, which were far fewer than the other party. Although they could effectively kill Qin soldiers with the help of vastly different weapons and equipment, if the Qin soldiers on the opposite side were all at once
The ground pressure came up, and the Wei army couldn't bear it.
After all, the difference in strength between the two armies is huge.
"You are so courageous..." Zhao Hongrun squinted his eyes and secretly praised the decisiveness of the Qin general opposite him.
In his opinion, the Qin army just opposite had obviously fallen into the Wei army's war rhythm. Although they rushed forward in a steady stream, they did not form a large scale and were not enough to pose a sufficient threat to the Wei army.
Of course, the scale of the trip mentioned here refers to the regular army of the Qin State, forget about the tattooed soldiers. Although the tattooed soldiers are very powerful, their chaotic actions are not worthy of being called soldiers in Zhao Hongrun's opinion.
.
Don’t think that all those tattooed soldiers were killed by Wei’s powerful crossbows. In fact, the number of these people who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows and trampled on each other to death was much greater than those who were directly shot to death by Wei’s powerful crossbows.
What's more important is that those tattooed soldiers didn't seem to know how to avoid arrows. They just rushed blindly towards the Wei army in an almost straight line with their passion. This was simply the best target for the Wei army.
Because of these reasons, even though there were tens of thousands of tattooed soldiers, they hardly posed any threat to the Wei army.
But the situation was different now. The Qin general on the opposite side sent up the remaining hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in one go. Even Zhao Hongrun felt a little short of breath for a while.
"Who is the Qin general opposite?" Zhao Hongrun turned to ask Lintao Lord Wei Ji.
Lintao Lord Wei Ji looked at the many military flags of the Qin army with the words "Qin Shao Shang Makes the King", frowned and said: "The Wang family is also a quite big clan among the Qin people..."
Just as he said this, Wei Ji noticed Wang Hao who was personally going into battle with a long-handled sword, and exclaimed: "Wang Hao! It's the 'Evil Jackal' Wang Hao!"
"Who is that?" Seeing Lintao Lord Wei Ji's surprised look, Zhao Hongrun asked in confusion.
Wei Ji took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Wang Lu, this man is a first-rate general in the Qin State. Whether it is martial arts or strategy, he is on par with Jiang Bi... This man leads troops to fight.
His habits are like those of a hunting jackal. Once he is targeted, he will catch up to you no matter how far you run. Just like a jackal that bites its prey and never lets go, he is an extremely troublesome Qin general."
"Oh..." Zhao Hongrun squinted his eyes after hearing this and murmured: "It turns out he is such a fierce general... Then kill him first!" As he said, he ordered Zong Wei beside him: "Send the order, call
Sniper crossbowmen snipe the Qin general on the opposite side! Shoot this man and get a thousand taels of silver!"
"Yes!" Zongwei Lu Mu immediately sent the order.
At this time, the large forces of the Qin army had pressed forward, and the cannon fodder Changge soldiers in the regular army were the first to bear the brunt.
Looking at the long-range soldiers from a distance, Zhao Hongrun was slightly in a daze.
Because he discovered that the left hands of those long-range soldiers were actually equipped with a hand shield - Zhao Hongrun had never seen it on the Huayang battlefield last October.
"...I really want to be hated by him."
Zhao Hongrun muttered to himself with a strange expression.
As he muttered secretly, the Changge soldiers of the Qin army rushed to the front line. However, facing the dense crossbow fire of the Wei army, the small shields on their left hands were not enough to withstand them, and they fell to the ground one after another.
Some Wei army crossbowmen even used their hand crossbows to shoot through the hand shields of the Changge soldiers.
"The crossbow team...fire arrows!"
Due to the large number of Qin troops approaching on the battlefield and the excessive pressure, Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, once again ordered to adjust the aiming target of the company's crossbow troops - he originally planned to use the company's crossbows to deal with the approaching Qin army's chariot fleet.
The chariot fleet poses the greatest threat to the Wei army. But now that the Qin army is pressing forward, he no longer cares about guarding against the chariot fleet.
"Puff puff puff——"
"Puff puff puff——"
Rows of crossbows fired in volleys, and the powerful crossbow arrows instantly tore apart the formation of Qin Army Commander Ge Bing, piercing through their weak hand shields and weak flesh and blood.
For a time, blood sprayed on the battlefield, and broken limbs were everywhere. As the most powerful crossbow on the battlefield at this moment, the Wei State's repeated crossbows showed their unrivaled dominance. In just a blink of an eye, Qin's
The entire offensive of the army "disappeared" and lost a piece.
But even so, the fierce Qin soldiers still showed no intention of shrinking back and continued to rush forward one after another.
"Damn it, it's about to be breached..."
Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, changed his expression slightly.
It had to be said that since he was equipped with war weapons such as the repeating crossbow and the Lu Guo machine crossbow box, he never thought that there would be an army staring at the overwhelming crossbow bolts and charging towards him.
Although he had learned more than once about the ferocity of the Qin people from Zhao Hongrun, Lintao Lord Wei Ji and others, he never expected that the Qin people could be so ferocious.
only……
"You think you can win this war if you break through this distance? Ha! Whether it's a crossbow or Lu's crossbow box, they are just icing on the cake. The most fundamental thing is me... Shang Shui
military!"
His eyes suddenly widened, Wu Ji rode his horse forward, raised his arms and shouted: "Shang Shui Army! Get out!"
"Whoa whoa--!"
Nearly ten thousand Shang navy troops shouted in response, and took advantage of the interval between the loading of crossbow bolts to meet the oncoming Qin army commander Ge Bing and the tattooed soldiers.
