Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Speaking of which, Yiqu Sheng's luck was also good. The formation of the Qin Army's central assault force was chariots in front and infantry behind. When Yiqu Sheng came around, he didn't encounter the chariot troops who were fighting with Zhao Kuo in front. Instead, it happened to bump into the infantry group of the Qin Army.

With the sound of hooves like thunder, Yi Qusheng rode his horse galloping, casually dropped the spear, picked up his own bow and arrow, bent the bow and strung the string.

Just collect some interest first!

"Whoosh!" The arrow seemed to cut through the air, and hit the big flag beside the captain with incomparable accuracy!

"Crack!" There was a snapping sound, and the flagpole, which was as thick as a forearm, was shot off by Yi Qusheng's arrow!

Colonel Qin Jun was terrified by Yi Qusheng's arrow. Seeing Yi Qusheng bent his bow and shot his arrow again, he screamed in fright, jumped off his horse and joined the guards around him.

"Bastard!" Yi Qusheng felt the absurdity in his heart, and he shot the arrow casually, not sure if he hit the captain of the Qin Army.

After the two arrows were shot, the distance between the two sides had been shortened to about thirty steps.

"Shoot him, shoot him down for me!" In the Qin army formation, the hoarse shout of the school lieutenant reached Yiqusheng's ears.

"So you're here!" Yi Qusheng laughed, and turned his horse again to correct the direction.

The next moment, the dense rain of arrows covered Yiqu Sheng.

However, to Yiqu Sheng, all of this is nothing but floating clouds!

After piercing through the rain of arrows, Yi Qusheng rushed forward with billowing smoke and dust, and the horse under his crotch was rampaging, as if entering no one's land! !

"Die!" Yi Qusheng's saber fell high, and the target was the captain of the Qin Army.

The school lieutenant was desperate, and was about to retreat and dodge, but he forgot that there were people around him, not only failed to dodge successfully, but was tripped by the person behind him.

Just like that, Yi Qusheng charged straight past the captain, and after a flash of the knife, the head of the captain of the Qin Army shot up into the sky.

Yi Qusheng grabbed the head in his hand and laughed out loud, the feeling of being calculated was swept away.

Wang Jian, Wang Jian, you probably wouldn't have expected such a thing to happen!

With such a sense of satisfaction, Yi Qusheng rushed forward with the armored cavalry behind him.

There, there are still a lot of Qin people waiting for him to kill!

The timely arrival of Yiqu Sheng changed the situation of the battle. On top of the flanking attack of Zhao Kuo and Yiqu Sheng's light and heavy cavalry, the vanguard group of the Qin army, which was originally in the upper hand, was defeated and fled one after another.

It was at this time that the incomparably sharp sound of Mingjin began to echo non-stop over the battlefield.

Under heavy pressure, Wang Jian finally chose to give up and continue to attack, and began to shrink the entire defense line!

8 Chapter [-]: Quiet Flags and Drums (Second Change)

"Really want to retreat? General, in fact, the general thinks that maybe we can give it a try." Wei Liao seemed a little reconciled, and said: "The general sent out just now is only the vanguard of more than ten thousand people. This vanguard Even if it fails, it doesn’t explain anything.”

Wei Liao's hair has been tied up again, and it can be seen that if given the chance, the deputy general of the Qin army hopes that he can go into battle again and get back some face from Zhao Guoren.

No one likes to fail, especially for a guy like Wei Liao who thinks so highly of himself.

Wang Jian shook his head and sighed: "This battle is over, there is no need to continue the fight, at least not today."

As a member of the Wang family, a veteran military aristocratic family in the Qin State, Wang Jian has completely participated in almost every Qin-Zhao war from the Battle of Changping to the present, and has a very intuitive understanding of the decline of Qin's strength over the years .

In the Battle of Changping, the Qin army lost a large number of living troops, which is well known to the world.

But more importantly, those units that suffered the most losses were often the main force of the Qin Army, that is, the standing army of the Qin Army.

In every subsequent failure, a large number of Qin army's standing army, especially the elite troops of the standing army, will be attrition in the war.

The reason is actually very simple, the elite troops usually put into the most intense battlefield to fight against the enemy's elite, so the death rate is naturally the highest.

If it was in the previous years when they were able to win battles, although the Qin army would lose a certain amount of elite standing troops, the battle damage of the winning side would definitely be less than that of the losing side. Veterans evolved, so after a battle, the elite troops of the Qin Army not only did not fight less and less, but instead fought more and more.

This is the mystery why the Qin State in history went to war every year next year, but it became stronger and stronger until it swept the six countries.

But this model also has a drawback, which is failure.

A failure is actually nothing. After all, all the elite veterans cannot be consumed by a single war. As long as there are enough elite veterans as a foundation, there will be a chance to make a comeback after a few years.

In terms of foundation, Qin State's foundation at that time was undoubtedly very strong. Even after losing the Battle of Changping, it was still enough to rank with Zhao State as one of the two superpowers at that time.

But in the days that followed, failures continued to follow.

In the constant failures, the elite troops and veterans of the Qin Army were gradually lost, and the new generation of recruits were completely unable to grow up due to lack of victories.

How can a soldier who has never won a battle before know how to fight and win it?

This is the vicious cycle of failure.

In addition, Qin Jun also faced another problem.

After successive defeats, the supply of soldiers in Guanzhong is already very urgent.

As we all know, the reason why the Qin army was able to shake the world in the previous wars was due to the tenacity of the old Qin people.

Old Qin people are from Guanzhong.

During the Battle of Changping, among the 60 Qin army, there were 45 Guanzhong men.

But now, among the 20 Qin army led by Wang Jian, there are only less than [-] Guanzhong men!

This is definitely a drop rate that makes any insightful person feel shocking.

So it seems that the number of the Qin army has not decreased much in the past few years, but Wang Jian is very clear in his heart that the 20 Qin army he leads is already the same as the 20 Qin army seven years ago. It is not a concept at all, and the combat power is not on the same level at all.

Lacking a sufficient number of elite veterans as a skeleton, and lacking a sufficient number of Guanzhong old Qin people as a foundation, the current Qin army is no longer the iron-blooded army that can fight big and tough battles!

So no matter whether Wang Jian is willing or not, as long as he still wants to win, he has to temporarily withdraw his troops and stabilize his position and morale first.

With the successive failures of the vanguard, the morale of the Qin army has dropped to a very dangerous level.

If Wang Jian insisted on continuing to attack at this time, then once he suffered another defeat, Li Mu would very likely launch a full-scale attack on the Qin army with the prestige of victory.

At that time, the Qin army will suffer a terrible defeat, and the ideal of the rise of the Great Qin can only be realized in a dream.

So Wang Jian must be steady now!

Hearing the sharp sound of gold ringing from a distance, Li Mu showed a regretful expression on his face.

"This Wang Jian is indeed very prudent, alright, let's pass on the order, Ming Jin withdraws troops!"

Soon, Ming Jin's orders also began to spread from Zhao Jun's rear.

Although it was only a short fight between the vanguards, Li Mu still felt the stability of Wang Jian when he used his troops.
