76. Winter night and day
War makes people crazy and possessive, but it also makes people lose.
This turned out to be what Feng Ji was thinking when the Qin army launched a mad attack on the Zhao army's right wing again.
He has lost everything.
When he escaped back, he even resented the person he was in Light Wolf City for not accompanying Zhao Cong to death.
After Duke Hui arrived at the front line, the Qin army, which had been demoralized because of the death of general Lei He, was once again inspired.
They were ready to be burned in the fire and strode forward.
As Bai Qi expected, Zhao Jun on the right wing no longer had the kind of clay pots that would explode and catch fire if thrown into the air.
Even the catapult no longer exerted any power.
The entire Zhao army's front began to waver and even retreat.
At this time, the weapon that caused the greatest damage to the Qin army was the crossbow arrows captured by the Zhao army at the Changping Camp.
As the general in Zhao's army who was best at defensive warfare, Li Yun improved the three-stage attack taught to him by Zhao Kuo.
He divided the crossbowmen into ten rows and stood staggered
There is a passage between each column that can allow one person to pass.
Every time the command flag fell, the crossbowmen in the first and third rows fired directly, and then stood at the back of the queue without looking back.
The second and fourth rows took a step forward and continued firing.
When the Qin army approached, all the crossbowmen fired volley again.
Then draw your sword and charge.
As the firing gap becomes longer, the crossbowman's physical strength is guaranteed.
In hand-to-hand combat, there was no situation like in the past, where after the infantry approached the crossbowmen, the crossbowmen's arms were sore and unable to raise their shields and swords, so they were wiped out.
After Li Yun led several counterattacks, the Qin army's front line still made little progress.
Not only did Bai Qi feel anxious after seeing this situation, Sima Shang of Zhao Jun was also yelling at Qin Jun in his heart.
What kind of bullshit is Tiger Wolf Tyrannical Qin? Why is the advancement speed so slow? Even after throwing out the cocktails, it still can’t be pushed in.
Zhao Jun's disregard for his own life today added a lot of trouble to Qin Jun.
After killing several captains who were unable to attack effectively, Duke Heng became anxious. If this continued, their Chinese army would not be able to withdraw.
"We have been ordered to come to support." Seeing that the battle was still unsatisfactory, Bai Qi asked Meng Wu to take all the Iron Eagle warriors to the left flank of the Qin army.
Subsequently, the strongest combat force of the Qin army, armed with spears and wearing heavy armor, joined the battlefield.
The wind and the remaining clouds.
The right wing of the Zhao army, which was comparable to the elite of the Qin army, finally began to retreat after encountering the Iron Eagle warriors.
When both sides have equal fighting will, combat experience and combat skills, which have always been placed behind the spirit, become the decisive factor.
Unexpectedly, Li Yun did not lead his men to fight back this time.
Instead, he shouted loudly and directed the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner.
Although, in front of the Iron Eagle warriors, retreat is impossible.
But there will always be some Zhao soldiers who, with a loud roar, rush forward, ignoring the long swords or daggers thrust into their stomachs, and tightly hug the Qin soldiers on the opposite side, hoping to make Paoze retreat.
And after seeing the intestines and blood hanging on the weapon behind him, his eyes turned red and he lost his mind.
He had no intention of retreating, and with tears in his eyes, he passed the weapon through his body and stabbed it into the body of the Qin army on the opposite side.
If we say that at Gu Pass before, the Iron Eagle warriors were defeated by Zhao Kuo's vanguard and the desperate assault of the tigers and leopards at Gu Pass.
So this time, although the Iron Eagle Warriors narrowly won, they were severely bitten off by Zhao Jun who went completely berserk.
And it's the kind that hurts your muscles and bones.
They finally understood that although everyone said, "The martial arts of Qi cannot meet the warriors of Wei, and the warriors of Wei cannot meet the warriors of Qin."
But Zhao Jun's white-robed infantry in linen, led by Zhao Kuo, can compete with them.
It is easy to shake a mountain, but difficult to shake a white robe.
After a whole day of hard fighting, the Qin army finally drove the Zhao army's right wing back to the place where the battle took place.
Or Zhao Jun's right wing pushed back half way and returned to the original position.
"Congratulations to General Hegong for successfully repelling Zhao Kuo's right wing. General Mo will go and notify our central army to retreat." Meng Wu, who was covered in blood, did not bother to rest and went directly to the central army.
Time is running out. The food is almost gone.
Moreover, Gaoping Pass has cliffs on the left and steep gorges on the right. In the west of Guanxi there is the Yusa River going to the west. In the east of the Guan there are the Macun River, a tributary of the Dan River and the Xu River. The Yuancun River flows to the east. Water and land transportation are excellent, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
, where it can be easily taken.
Duke Heng nodded, walked into the captured Zhao army's position with his head held high, sat on the ground, and prepared to start eating.
The meals of the Qin army were distributed according to different titles.
However, supplies are currently limited, and Mr. He only has a few pieces of horsemeat and a bowl of soybeans.
Qin law prohibits alcohol, but as a general, Duke Heng naturally has some privileges.
There was a gourd in his arms, which contained some light wine.
Unlike other countries, the Qin State did not attach great importance to the brewing industry.
The King of Qin believed that too much grain was needed to make wine, which was a waste. Therefore, Qin's wine tasted bland.
But the taste of hometown cannot be tasted by the tip of the tongue.
Duke He stepped into the temporary positions made of wood and took a sip of wine, feeling extremely proud.
This position seemed to be made of trebuchet accessories and was very crude, but the Zhao people used this position to cause a lot of trouble to the Iron Eagle Rui.
There were deep red blood stains on those woods and they felt sticky to the touch.
Only the innermost catapult, which had not had time to be dismantled, was still clean.
The counterweight of the catapult was still hanging, but there were no barrels around it.
Presumably, after the Zhao army had used up all the ammunition, they were just about to dismantle it when the Qin army had already attacked here.
"There are great talents among the people of Zhao." Haogong, who had been a soldier all his life, could see the difference of this catapult at a glance. He walked to the catapult in a few steps and couldn't put it down.
Compared with the human-powered catapults used by the Qin army, Zhao's counterweighted catapult has obvious advantages.
"Keep this catapult alive and send it to Mr. Wu'an. Collect all these accessories as well. Our army will break through Gaoping Pass quickly, and there is hope. Hahaha, God will not stop me, old Qin." Mr. He took a big sip.
Drink and laugh.
Bang!
It's the sound of flint rubbing against each other.
Inside the counterweight box, there are no longer stones, but the only remaining kerosene barrels, and Feng Ji.
For the sake of confidentiality, the vent was designed to be at the bottom of the counterweight box. Therefore, Feng Ji could only use the sound to confirm whether there was Qin army outside.
It was very dark inside the weight box, which was very uncomfortable and difficult to know the passage of time. Feng Ji was afraid that he would fall asleep, so he kept stabbing himself with a dagger to stay awake.
In his hand, he held Zhao Cong's tablet tightly.
"Young Master Cong, you asked me to return the fire to the Qin people, I will return it to them now. After arriving at Huangquan, our brothers waited together, waiting for the Qin people to come down and cry out that their Xianyang was burned by Ma Fuzi
Already."
Zhao Kuo, please.
Fire shot into the sky, and explosions resounded throughout the battlefield.
The firelight shone on the surrounding land as if it were daylight.
Sima Shang looked at the place where the flames were burning, and there was a rare trace of sadness on his face.
Chapter completed!
