Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: Chapter 2 is around 12 o'clock, please recommend tickets!

...

The scorching sun is in the sky, and the Wenshui is surging. The battle on the south bank of the river lasted for several miles. Following the brief contact between the fronts of the two armies, Qi and Zhao soldiers on other fronts also began a tentative confrontation.

At the beginning of the battle, Zhao Jun, who had been "invincible" in the past few years, did not gain a comprehensive advantage. It was true that the military pawns had stricter military discipline and better equipment, but the elite military pawns that Zhao Wuxi brought here were only 5,000, and the rest were conscripts. He wouldn't put them in at the very beginning. At the beginning, he sent some so-called "gully-fillers": new soldiers who had been trained for half a year after being recruited in Hanoi, part of the Song army, and Qufu Lu soldiers, only to wait After they weaken the enemy's line, the elite can be achieved overnight...

These people are replicas of the military pawns, and they fought with the Qi army for half a catty. Some of the fronts even declined, because their phalanx had to advance against the Qi army's strong bow.

The Qi people had too many archers, more than 10,000 people, using bows made of hyperbolic horns and tendons from the East, distributed behind twenty chariots, constantly pulling the strings and opening their bows, releasing them towards the Zhao army's front. Arrows fell like rain, and even though Zhao Jun's defense was good, each wave would take dozens of lives, leaving more injured and fearful.

Zhao Jun's counterattack was fierce, and the crossbow machines lined up in three to five columns on the flanks continued to shoot, but they were far less effective than bows and arrows.

Zhao Jun also had archers. Hundreds of good archers from the state of Lu, under the leadership of Yan Gao, tried their best to shoot up to the sky. It's a pity that there was a thick army formation between them and the enemy. Most of the bows and crossbows were nailed to the body of the enemy's foot soldiers, or to the big scull in their hands. The base blocked, and the clanging sound of the iron arrow and the hardwood collided non-stop, but the screams were rarely emitted from it.

Yan Gao's arms were a little sore. Facing Che Lei, he felt a little helpless. As an old archer who had served in Lu Jun many times, he was no stranger to this kind of thing.

There is no doubt that bows and arrows have played a huge role in early wars since the ignorant era of consuming blood. The arrows that swooped at the enemy like locusts often caused terrible casualties to the opponent. But with the emergence of fortifications, the effect of individual bows and crossbows against them was correspondingly weakened. For example, right now, Zhao Jun's bow and crossbow cannot shoot through the thick Qiren scull, let alone destroy the bunkers surrounded by chariots.

The Qi people, who happened to be hiding behind the barrier, used a strong bow to weaken the Zhao army from above, and then let the infantry with spears and halberds launch a counterattack.

When Yan Gao thought about it, if he wanted to break through the enemy's car barrier, he was afraid that he would use the Yanyao rocket just like the Battle of Qinshui. It's just that this is an open field, not a camp with a mountain of combustibles. In addition, the enemy is backed by a large river, and it is very convenient to obtain water. It is difficult to achieve the effect of burning the enemy's line.

Not to mention that the wind is not right today, the breeze is blowing along the valley.

How to do it? Yan Gao frowned and thought hard. As a brigade commander at the grassroots level, he had no way of knowing the overall situation, as well as those secret weapons that were classified. He was only given orders by Zhao Wuxi, and he only needed to execute the orders.

"Continue shooting! If you believe in the general, there will be a way!" Yan Gaoneng felt the hesitation of the young bowmen around him. He knew that doubt and hesitation were the poison that led to the disillusionment of the army. The Zhao army's offensive was blocked, and they now needed a Inspiring miracle!

The miracle really happened.

Yan Gao gritted his teeth, put an arrow in his hand again, and was about to raise his head to draw a bow, but he was stunned to find that something was flying over the heads of the two armies who were fighting fiercely! Like many bowmen who saw this scene, Yan Gao's mouth widened, and he just watched the thing smash directly into the Qiren chariot about a hundred paces ahead!

...

"That's not the case with Zhao Jun." Standing behind the safety barriers, Xian Shi squinted to observe the battle situation, and then smiled and encouraged the archers.

In general, the newly-rising doctors of the Qi state are surrounded by the Chen and Bao family members, while the Xian family, the descendants of the Jiang family, are around the country and Gao.

Xian Shi is a typical example of this. He is the son of Xianzhang, a doctor in the state of Qi, as well as a son of a noble family. During the southern expedition of the country, he served as a good man in the army. He has a thousand archers under his command, all recruited from the territory and surrounding cities. These people are not good at melee combat, but they are skilled with bows and arrows. Relying on the chariots, they have already shot a Zhao soldier who is trying to rush over with a shield as a cover. Had to go back.

"The prince of the country is the prince of the country, and it can make our army make use of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. If it is better than archery, no one in the world can compete with the Qi army's chariots!" In Xianshi's opinion, the tactics of the prince of the country this time are undoubtedly correct, and they must be Can successfully repel Zhao Jun, and then calmly cross the river to fulfill the promise of the prince: bring the soldiers home!

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that there was an extra black spot in the sky in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, no one had time to respond, and then a cobblestone the size of half a head smashed straight to the edge of the car barrier!

Xian Shi only felt that the car that was more than ten steps away from him had been severely hit, and then the car shattered and the axle was broken, and the whole car collapsed in front of his eyes! By the way, he crushed Qi **** who was squatting beside him trying to avoid Zhao Jun's bow and arrow.

"What happened... what happened..." Xian Shi was stunned in place, and he was dumbfounded along with the Qi people archers beside him. Suddenly flying stones fell from the sky, which the old soldier could not explain. matter.

"Could it be that there are strong men like Gao Xuanzi in the enemy formation who can throw flying stones and hurt the enemy?" After a while, Xian Shi finally found an explanation and said to the subordinates next to him with a dry smile, asking the archers to return to their positions to shoot arrows. .

What he didn't know was that at the position of the central army, Gao Wupi, a descendant of Gao Gu, was also looking at the stone that flew into the car base in the distance and caused a small riot.

"Here comes again..." The coach Guo Xia's face was pale, and he suddenly said such a sentence. Gao Wupi was about to ask something, and he came again, but when he raised his head, he couldn't say a word.

Not only Guo Xia and Gao Wupi with a wide field of vision, Xian Shi and the archers in the chariots, and even Qi and Zhao soldiers on the battlefield could see clearly, dozens of black dots burst into the air again, moving towards just now. The place where the first stone fell, all bombarded!

...

"It's over!"

Seeing the growing black spot in front of him, Xian Shi flashed these two words in his heart, and was immediately thrown down by the personal soldiers next to him.

The river sand entered his eyes, and the pain was burning. He could only lie on the ground with his head covered and dare not move. All he could hear was the loud bang and shock of the impact, as well as screams, howls, broken car walls, and bones. broken sound...

When he opened his eyes again, there was already a mess in front of Xian Shi, and there were screams for help everywhere. When he turned his head, he was startled by the horrific sight he saw. The body of the personal soldier who had fallen over Xian Shi was still there, but his head was completely missing. He was hit by a flying stone in the neck, shoulders The above parts were all gone, and it became a mass of paste in the distance. The stone wrapped in his flesh and blood was embedded in the sand, and the red and white things on it looked so hideous that people could not avoid it.

Getting up and looking around in confusion, Xian Shi found that the car base had collapsed with several large gaps, and some Qi people around him who were frightened by the flying stones from the sky walked aimlessly inside the car base, screaming in despair, and their bows and arrows were rotten. It was thrown on the ground in a mess, and when such a terrible thing happened, who would have the heart to fight with a bow?

His car base was finished, and although there were not many casualties, everyone was terrified by the last attack. Xian Shi's previous evaluation of Zhao Jun's "nothing more than this" has long been replaced by fear and anxiety...

He wanted to cry without tears, this was definitely not something that a strong man could throw, but like the handwriting of a ghost!

...

Xian Shi was still at a loss as to where he was attacked, but Guo Xia, who was looking at the overall situation in the Central Army, saw it clearly.

The stones just now did not fall from the sky, but came from the river bank behind the Zhao army's formation. Dozens of stone bullets ranging from two to ten kilograms were shot out from there, drawing an arc of death and then smashing them into the front of the car barrier. Many parts of the car barrier collapsed, dust was flying, and countless broken pieces of wood rose up in the air and fell like raindrops.

Regardless of the people's screams, the horses that were taken to the side after unloading the chariot also neighed, and the sight in front of them made them terrified. One of the stones that strayed from the target fell into the horse group and hit an unlucky serving horse. The horse's head collapsed in an instant, the skull was broken into pieces, the horse's head was thrown to one side, and the horse spat out two mouthfuls. Blood foamed, and the four hoofs softened at the same time, and the body fell forward according to the inertia. The four hoofs had begun to spasm when they fell to the ground, and the horses fled and scattered, disrupting a gathering array.

Qi's people were confused. The soldiers who could see this scene on the front of Qi's army were already in an uproar because of the sudden upheaval.

In fact, it wasn't just them, even the always calm commander Guo Xia had some fluctuations.

"This is a weapon that has never been mentioned in the art of war, and it is also a weapon that I have never seen before. It is a wonder that can only appear in the myth of the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou..."

At least when Taigong and Sima Rangju described the art of war, they would never have imagined that they would encounter such a weapon on their backs, let alone write down countermeasures.

The place where he was bombarded by the stones was hundreds of steps away from Guoxia, but he was also shocked that his heart was beating wildly. Even from such a distance, he could feel the ground shaking over the car barrier~www.readwn.com~ The power of which can only be experienced by personal experience.

"It's something Zhao Jun used when he captured Chaoge. It can send flying stones to more than a hundred paces away. I thought they couldn't carry such a cumbersome device and could only use it to attack the city. It seems that I was careless..."

Guo Xia took a few deep breaths and explained this to the dumbfounded Gao Wupi. He knew that he must not be in chaos now. If there is chaos, the Qi people will really be wiped out here!

Gao Wupi swallowed his saliva, nodded heavily, and took the initiative to drive to the place of the incident to maintain order.

"Be careful, Zhao Jun will never attack just once..."

Although they regained their composure on the surface, Guoxia and Gao Wupi, as well as everyone in Qi, had a sense of security and self-confidence brought about by Che Lei's and Qiang Gong, and they were shattered when the Che Lei was broken.

After the mysterious new weapon appeared on the river bank, no one was safe on the battle formation. The way of war will change drastically from today!

Now Guoxia only hopes that Zhao Jun's mysterious stone hair tool can't move, and can only slam into an area... (To be continued.)
