Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Wucheng is just a small city located on the south bank of Jingshui River. It is only sixty or seventy miles away from Xianyang. Precisely because it is so close to Xianyang City, the size of the city here is not large and the city walls are not high. On weekdays, The biggest function here is just as a temporary resting place for travelers coming from Xianyang or from Hedong.

But who could have imagined that such a small city would suddenly turn into a battleground that could determine the life and death of all countries in the world and countless soldiers.

In both directions, one in the south and the other in the north, there was a sudden rush of people and tens of thousands of people running towards the small town in front of them.

In the north are the forward troops of Zhao's elite frontier cavalry. Compared with these Zhao's elite, the Qin army in the south is also unusual. There are armored soldiers and civilians in gray and brown clothes. Compared with Zhao's majestic frontier cavalry, War horses, the state of these Qin troops can only be described as unusual. The soldiers and civilians are sitting on the carts, the carriage is in front, and the ox cart is behind. Even if it is close to full speed, they can only follow slowly, but the carriage But the soldiers and civilians on board were shaken and confused one by one.

In terms of speed, of course Zhao's side riders are faster, but the Qin army and the civilians have the advantage of being closer to the city. In this race between time and life, the outcome is still uncertain.

The Qin army and the civilians saw that the walls of Wucheng had appeared in sight, but the Zhao Kingdom's cavalry had also caught up. They were only a few miles away from the end of the team. At this distance, the speed of the Zhao Kingdom's horses was Down, it can be easily crossed.

"The main army will stay and move the carriage across." Wang Jian saw this and shouted in peace.

As a general, he is most afraid of not making a decision in battle. Sometimes even a wrong decision is better than no decision. What's more, Wang Jian believed that his decision was correct: since the enemy has caught up, in order to buy time, he must Someone blocks the enemy behind.

For a moment, the civilians were still running towards Wucheng, while the Qin army's soldiers jumped off the horses and oxcarts one by one, turned the carriages around in an orderly manner, connected them end to end, and quickly set up a line of defense on the plain in front of Wucheng.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qin army who were standing behind the car with guns and spears could already see the Zhao army riding on the side with their bows and arrows drawn. With the sound of the bowstrings exploding, arrows shot out one after another. Although the bow is soft and not as hard as the bow for foot combat, the bow is still a bow, and it is still a deadly weapon in front of human flesh and blood.

Fortunately, there was a car body in front of the Qin army. The arrows that crossed the car body and fell into the Qin army were much less than those fired by the Zhao army's side riders. The Qin army did not lack shields. For a time, the Qin army The army was not afraid. Only a few soldiers who were really unlucky were seriously injured by arrows through the gaps.

"Colonel, should we attack the civilians or these Qin troops?" A captain of a thousand soldiers in the Zhao army's side cavalry asked the forward captain beside him.

"The Qin army's fighting strength is here. It is more important to eat these Qin soldiers than to eat the unarmed civilians." The forward captain thought for a while and already made a choice.

Even if thousands of civilians fled into Wucheng, they would be unable to resist the attack of Zhao's border cavalry and Wei soldiers. But if these Qin troops were allowed to escape and enter, it would be a very troublesome force.

You must know that in a country of tigers and wolves like the Qin Army, people who can only be civilian husbands prove that their strength is very limited. Even if some of them have to withdraw from the Qin Army due to age, since they are in the Qin Army Having been in the military for so many years, but still having to do hard labor, doesn't it mean that even when he was young, his personal bravery was very limited?

The decision of the Zhao Army's forward captain was not unreasonable. A group of three thousand side cavalry rushed towards the Qin Army's chariot formation like running water. However, thirty steps away from the Qin Army's chariot formation, they all drew their bows and drew arrows. When the shot was fired, the men and horses had already turned around and headed towards the rear, and the empty space left behind had been filled by the side riders behind them. This cycle continued, with arrows raining down like rain.

Under the Qin Army's defense, although not many soldiers died directly under the rain of arrows, the torture of constantly struggling on the edge of life and death made even the soldiers of the Qin Army who were accustomed to fighting each and every one of them. I couldn't help but get nervous.

It is human nature to be afraid of death. Only those who have the courage to face death can be called true warriors. The Qin army arrayed behind the chariot formation is such a warrior. They Although nervous and scared, no one ran away.

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

"It seems that there are powerful people 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 already tightened his grip on the spear in his hand.

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

At this time, on a hill in the southwest, a group of cavalry was looking at 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 anyone to think about it with me." Yang Ming looked at the civilians who had fled into the city and the Qin army who were fighting fiercely with the enemy. For a moment, he was interested in the commander of the Qin army. Deep interest.

He knew that a big battle was going to happen here because of his foresight. Then, why did the leader of this Qin army appear here? Is it because of coincidence or because of his judgment.

"It seems that someone has thought of working with us. It's good. Having these thousands of people has also increased our capital a lot." Wei Wei said thoughtfully.

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

"That's not necessarily the case. Get ready. It's time for us to go into battle." Yang Ming ordered.

"Wait for the enemy to launch a charge, increase the speed to the limit, and when it is difficult to change direction, strike across its waist and abdomen. You can disperse the enemy in one fell swoop, or even annihilate them." As Yang Ming's military order was issued, 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 experience in battle formations, because between battle formations, the enemy's and our own military situation changes rapidly, and you will not be given enough time to react and come up with the perfect strategy. The answer." Meng Tian thought about it and already grasped the spear in his hand.

Here, there are 600 Ganquan Palace guards acting as the vanguard, and behind them, there are more than 2,000 follow-up guards. It is not that there is no chance of eating the enemy's vanguard in front of them.

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

The Qin troops behind the car formation clenched their weapons one by one. They knew that the most dangerous moment was coming. Once the enemy broke through the car formation's defense line, destruction would be waiting for them.

"Bang." With waves of dull collisions, amid the whines of the war horses and the painful groans of the soldiers on both sides, the two armies finally collided.

For a time, some Qin soldiers were provoked by the spears of Zhao Jun's side cavalry, some Zhao Jun's side cavalry were stabbed through the waist and abdomen by Qin soldiers, some horses lost their owners and their bodies were destroyed, and some 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 against the cavalry on the plains, these Qin troops lacked one weapon, which was bows and arrows. Without the support of bows and arrows, They can only be beaten passively.

As time went by, "It's a pity that manpower will eventually be exhausted." Zhao Jun's forward captain looked at the Qin Army's vehicle formation that had been charged into several sections, and decided to launch a final charge to give the enemy in front of him the final blow. .

As the order flag was waved, the Zhao Army's forward captain led the cavalry around him to launch a final charge. Under this charge, no enemy army would be able to stand in front of Zhao's frontier cavalry.

The first team of Zhao's cavalry rushed into the car formation bravely and fearlessly, instantly smashing the already crumbling station to pieces. The broken car body, the corpses of the horses and soldiers, made the entire battlefield look like the end of the world, disrupting The offensive formation of Zhao Guo's side cavalry was determined.

More and more Zhao soldiers rushed into the Qin army, attacking the enemies in front of them from a high position.

At this moment, military flags were flying in the southwest, and horse hooves were trampling the yellow soil.

"Kill." Amidst the shouts, Zhao Jun's side cavalry barely reacted. Before they had time to change their formation, they were blocked by the enemy and rushed into the formation. In an instant, dozens of Zhao Jun's side cavalry were picked and killed. Get off the horse.

"Retreat." Zhao Jun's forward captain said in shock. Although the Qin army was small in number, its timing was too tricky. One charge directly divided Zhao's side cavalry into pieces. There was no time to change direction, and they were surrounded on the chaotic battlefield.

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

Amidst the shouts of the forward captain of the Zhao Kingdom's cavalry, only a few of the Zhao Kingdom's cavalry had time to change direction. However, in front of the Qin Army, which had already gained an absolute advantage on the local battlefield, the change in the situation of a few people could not change the general trend at all. of decadence.

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

The captain of the Zhao army forward wanted to save the defeat as much as possible, but while he was calling for peace, he also exposed his position, and a group of Qin troops rushed directly towards his position.

Seeing this situation, he didn't have time to hesitate. He clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward. The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. From now on, whoever is timid first will die faster.

"It's such a familiar halberd." The forward captain of Zhao Jun thrust his spear, but he saw a flash of light that seemed familiar. In his sight, his spear was raised high in the impact, and the cold light flashing with a cold color had penetrated hit his chest.

"How could it be him?" This was the last thought of the forward captain of the Zhao Army, and then his consciousness returned to darkness forever.

It is said to be a color book that you can read.
