Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 173 Meeting A Thousand Miles Away (At the beginning of the month, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass)

Mincheng is just a small city located on the south bank of the Jingshui River. It is only sixty or seventy miles away from Xianyang. It is also because it is too close to Xianyang City that the scale of the city here is not large, and the city wall is not high. Here, the biggest function is only as a temporary resting place for travelers coming from Xianyang or from the east of the river.

But who would have thought that such a small city would suddenly become a place of great battles that could determine the lives and deaths of all countries and countless soldiers.

In two directions, one south and one north, for a while, tens of thousands of people rushed towards the small town in front of them.

In the north, it is the vanguard troops of Zhao Guo's elite frontier cavalry. Compared with these Zhao Guo's elite troops, the Qin army in the south is also unusual. There are soldiers in armor, and there are civilian husbands in gray and brown clothes. War horses, the state of these Qin troops can only be described in a different way. The soldiers and civilians are sitting on the carts, the carriage is in front, and the ox cart is behind. Even if they are close to full speed, they can only follow slowly behind. On the other hand, the soldiers and civilians on the road were all bumped and fluttered without knowing why.

In terms of speed, of course Zhao Guo's side riders are faster, but Qin Jun and the civilian husbands have the advantage of being closer to Mincheng. In this race of time and life, the outcome is still uncertain.

Qin Jun and Minfu saw that the city wall of Min City had already appeared in sight, but Zhao Guobian riders had already caught up, and they were only a few miles away from the end of the team. At this distance, the speed of war horses riding on Zhao Guobian Next, it is easy to be crossed.

"Leave the main army, turn the carriage across." Seeing this, Wang Jian repeated his concurrence.

As a general, it is most taboo not to make a decision before the battle. Sometimes even a wrong decision is better than no decision. What's more, Wang Jian believes that his decision is correct: since the enemy has already caught up, in order to gain time, he must Someone blocked the enemy behind.

For a while, the civilian husbands were still rushing towards Mincheng, while the soldiers of the Qin army jumped off the carriages and ox carts one by one, turned the front of the carts in an orderly manner, connected them end to end, and quickly pulled up a line of defense on the plain in front of Mincheng.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qin army standing behind the car with guns and spears could already see Zhao Jun riding with a bow and drawing arrows. Although the bow is soft, it is not as hard as a bow in combat, but a bow is still a bow, and it is still a deadly weapon in front of human flesh and blood.

Fortunately, there is a car body in front of Qin Jun, and the arrows that cross the car body and fall into Qin Jun are much less than the arrows shot by Zhao Jun's side cavalry. There is no lack of shields among Qin Jun. For a while, Qin Jun The army was not afraid, only a few unlucky soldiers were seriously injured by arrows through the gap.

"Lieutenant, are we attacking the civilians, or these Qin troops?" Zhao Jun was riding in the middle, and a commander asked the forward captain next to him.

"The Qin army's combat strength is here. Compared with those unarmed civilians, it is more important to eat these Qin troops." The captain of Qianfeng pondered for a while, and had already made a choice.

Even if thousands of civilians fled into Mincheng, it would be difficult for them to resist the attacks of Zhao Guo's border cavalry and Wei Wuzu, but if these Qin troops escaped and entered, it would be a very troublesome force.

You must know that in a country of tigers and wolves like Qin Jun, those who can only be husbands prove that their strength is very limited. Even if some of them have to withdraw from the ranks of Qin Jun because of their age, Having been in the army for so many years, but still doing hard labor, doesn't it just show that even when he was young, his personal bravery was limited?
Zhao Jun's forward captain's decision is not indecisive. A group of 3000 side riders rushed towards the Qin Army's chariot formation like flowing water, but when they were thirty steps away from the chariot formation, they drew their bows and arrows one by one, and the arrows shot out. At that time, the people and horses had already turned around and headed towards the rear, and the vacant space left by them had been filled by the side riders behind them, and this cycle went on and on, with arrows raining down like rain.

Under the defense of the Qin army, although not many soldiers died directly under the rain of arrows, the torture of constantly struggling on the edge of life and death, even the soldiers of the Qin army who are used to fighting, one by one I couldn't help but get nervous.

It is human nature to be afraid of death. Fear of death and the courage to face death can be called true warriors. The Qin army behind the chariot formation is such a warrior. Although nervous, although afraid, but no one fled.

"This is the fourth round. After the fifth round, it will be the time for the enemy's charge. Everyone, cheer up." Wang Jian shouted loudly.

"It seems that there are some powerful figures in the Qin army, but that's all. In the face of absolute power, any struggle is useless." Sensing the sudden shock in the morale of the Qin army, Zhao Jun's forward captain sneered. , has clenched the spear in his hand.

The charge from Zhao's border cavalry is about to begin.

At this time, on a hill in the southwest, a group of cavalry was watching the battlefield in the distance. These people were the three thousand guards who came all the way from Xianyang.

"It's interesting. I didn't expect someone to come with me." Yang Ming looked at the civilian husbands who had fled into the city and the Qin army who was fighting fiercely with the enemy. For a moment, he had a feeling for the commander of the Qin army. keen interest.

He knew that there would be a big battle here because of the advantage of foresight, so why did the commander of this Qin army appear here?Is it because of a coincidence, or because of his judgment.

"It seems that someone has come up with us, so that's good, with these thousands of people, it has also increased our capital a lot." Wei He pondered.

Although thousands of civilians may not be able to fight, it is still enough to rely on the city wall to defend. In this way, it can also share a lot of pressure, at least it will no longer be a situation of near death and no survival.

"That's not necessarily the case, prepare, it's time for us to go to battle." Yang Ming ordered.

"Wait for the enemy to charge, increase the speed to the limit, and when it is difficult to turn around, hit the waist and abdomen horizontally, and you can disperse the enemy in one fell swoop, or even annihilate them." Following the issuance of Yang Ming's military order, Meng Tian instantly Then I understood the meaning behind Yang Ming.

"This is the art of war. Sure enough, no matter how many military books you read, you still need to practice in the battle formation, because between the battle formations, the enemy's and our army's situation changes rapidly, and you will not be given enough time to react. Let you come up with the perfect strategy." The answer." Meng Tian was thinking, already grasping the spear in his hand.

Here, there are [-] Ganquan Palace imperial guards as the vanguard, and behind them, there are more than [-] follow-up guards. It is not that there is no chance to eat the enemy forward.

On the battlefield, Zhao Guo's border cavalry, who had re-lined up, had already launched a charge. For a moment, countless dust splashed under the hooves of the horses. The charge of three thousand cavalry was as powerful as the charge of ten thousand soldiers.

The Qin army behind the chariot formation clenched their weapons tightly one by one. They knew that the most dangerous moment was coming. Once the enemy army tore apart the defense line of the chariot formation, what awaited them would be destruction.

"Bang." With the dull crashing sound, amidst the wailing of the horses and the painful groans of the soldiers on both sides, the two armies finally collided.

For a while, some Qin Bing was provoked by the spears of Zhao Jun's Bianqi, some Zhao Jun's Bianqi was pierced through the waist and abdomen by Qin Bing, some war horses lost their owners and rushed to destroy the body, and some war horses lay dead in front of the battle.

After a round of charge, the simple chariot formation was already crumbling. Although the chariot formation was the best choice for fighting cavalry on the plains, these Qin troops lacked a weapon, that is, bows and arrows. Without the support of bows and arrows, They can only be beaten passively.

In the passage of time, "It's a pity, manpower will eventually run out." Captain Zhao Jun looked at the Qin Army's chariot formation that had been rushed into several sections, and decided to launch a final charge to deal the final blow to the enemy in front of him. .

As the command flag was waved down, Zhao Jun's vanguard captain led the cavalry around him to launch the last charge. Under this charge, no enemy army will be able to stand in front of Zhao Guo's side cavalry.

The first team of Zhao Guobian rushed into the car formation bravely and fearlessly, smashing the already crumbling station into pieces in an instant. The broken car body, dead horses and soldiers made the entire battlefield feel like the end of the world, disrupting the entire battlefield. The offensive formation of Zhao Guobianqi.

More and more Zhao Guo border riders rushed into the Qin army, condescendingly attacking the enemies in front of them.

At this moment, there are military flags flying in the southwest, and horseshoes are trampling the yellow land.

"Kill." Amid the shouts, Zhao Jun's side cavalry barely reacted, and before they had time to change their formation, they had already been cut into the formation by the enemy. In an instant, dozens of Zhao Guo's side cavalry were picked and killed Get off the horse.

"Retire." Zhao Jun's forward captain turned pale with shock. Although the current Qin army has a small number of people, the timing they chose was too tricky. A round of charge directly divided Zhao Guo's border cavalry into pieces. There was no time to turn around, and they were surrounded by the chaotic battlefield.

What is a cavalry who has lost the ability to charge?They are just living targets to be attacked.

Amidst the shouts of Zhao Guobian's forward captain, only a few Zhao Guobian cavalry had time to change direction, but in front of the Qin army that had already gained an absolute advantage in some battlefields, the change of the situation of a few people could not change the general situation at all. decadent.

From the moment this Qin army made a surprise attack, the outcome of this Zhao army had already been decided.

Zhao Jun's vanguard captain wanted to save the defeat as much as possible, but at the same time he called out, he also exposed his position, and a team of Qin troops rushed directly towards his position.

Seeing this situation, he didn't have time to hesitate, he clamped his horse's belly and went up to meet him. When meeting in a narrow road, the brave wins. From now on, whoever is timid first will die faster.

"It's such a familiar halberd." Zhao Jun's forward lieutenant stabbed with his spear, but saw a flash of familiar light. In his sight, his long spear was raised high during the impact, and the cold light that shone with a cold color had already pierced through it. his chest.

"How could it be him?" This was the last thought of Captain Zhao Jun's forward, and then his consciousness fell into darkness forever.

　It is said that it is a book with colors, you can read it.
