"Down!" A Donghu military officer with a fierce look on his face pointed his horse whip into the trench ahead, and hundreds of people rushed up and overturned the earth buns he carried on his back into the trench.

Thousands of Donghu soldiers with bright and dark armor appeared on both wings, all of whom were riding horses and scattered in front of the trench. At this time, they were separated from the Wei army in the brigade within a hundred steps. Two to three hundred steps away, the Wei army had dozens of bed crossbows. These crossbow arrows with hard steel as the edge and cast iron as the feathers kept shooting over. Even the Donghu soldiers could only pray that they would not be shot by such heavy arrows, otherwise even wearing hard armor would be sure to die.

Amid the sound of the crossbow collapse, there were also a large number of dull sounds of Han slaves when filling the trenches. The straw-woven soil buns weighed more than a hundred pounds. These Han slaves were weak and extremely nervous. In a short time, more than a hundred people fell into the trenches. The ditch was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and there were pickets at the bottom. After falling down, they were stabbed and could not climb up at all. The Donghu people did not respond. The Han slaves gritted their teeth and continued to fill the trenches. Not long after, they buried the partners who fell into the trenches alive.

The two sides kept shooting bows and arrows, gradually adding troops. By the end of the Chen period, more than 30,000 archers had gathered on the front line of more than ten miles long. The Wei army had divine arm bows and bed crossbows, which were much stronger than the Donghu people in long-range attacks, but when shooting within a hundred steps, the Wei army's ordinary archers were far from the opponent of the Donghu people.

The Wei army is also a very heavy archer, and the strength of the archer bow is at least ten. It is only qualified if it is drawn ten times in a row and thirty times slowly. However, the Donghu people are a group of animals. The archer bow is longer than the Wei army's infringement bow, and the materials are not necessarily as exquisite as the Wei army's standard archer bow. After all, the weapons of the Great Wei are much stronger than the Donghu people in terms of materials and craftsmanship. However, the archer bow is more powerful by replacing the archer body. The general Donghu archer bow has at least ten forces, but its archer can generally use twelve three forces, which is generally higher than the Wei army's archer. What's even more terrifying is that its most ordinary archer, whose firing rate, accurate head, and strength are comparable to the best archer in the Wei army.

If there weren't a considerable number of divine arm bows in the Wei army, the Wei army would have retreated long ago in such a large-scale shooting.

The accurate head of the divine arm bow is actually not as good as the step bow. When the bow string vibrates the arrow from the groove, there will inevitably be some deviation. Experienced archers can fine-tune it. In this way, when shooting a fixed target, you can generally hit seven or eight out of ten within a hundred steps. The probability of hitting the target is much smaller. The divine arm bow is said to be an effective range of 300 steps, but in fact, it is already floating and slanted at 300 steps, and the force is used up, without any threat or use. The truly effective shooting range is 200 steps. At about 200 steps, it can still break the iron armor, but the damage is not serious. Even so, the divine arm bow poses a great threat to the Donghu people. When the two armies shot along the long trench, the Wei army's divine arm bow played a great role.

If someone looks up at the sky, sometimes he will have an illusion that the sky is full of arrows flying back and forth, and the feathers at the tails of the arrows are dancing in the air, with a strange and weird beauty.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were shouting, and many soldiers with iron armored rings held scepters, held spears, waved their swords, insulted each other, cheering up the archers on their side. The two armies were covered with flags. Whether it was the Wei army or the Donghu soldiers, they knew that the trench was filled, the beginning of hand-to-hand combat. The soldiers of the two armies, from military officers to ordinary soldiers, were all preparing for the front.

The Han slaves had already suffered heavy casualties, and their blood had penetrated into the inside and outside of the trench. Many people died by the trench and were directly filled into the trench and used as cloth bags.

At the end of the Si hour, the sun rose and the sky was clear. The weather was actually a little warm. The earth was muddy. At this time, it was the beginning of the land in western Liaoning from spring to early summer. When the sun was about to rise to noon, there were tens of thousands of Donghu Army.

After paying nearly 10,000 lives, Hannu finally filled the first long trench between the Jinzhou city gate and the Yushui River.

Countless Donghu armored soldiers burst out like wolf howls, and then they used sword and shield hands, long sling hands in front, and archers in the back or on both sides. The first wave of attacks was that more than 30,000 armored soldiers were successively deployed. Because the front line was very long, the Donghu people's assault array was also like dog teeth intertwined and the number of participation was uneven, but the direction of the main attack was obviously in the direction of Jinzhou.

The two sides soon fought each other.

The long veins collided like a dense forest, and the shield hands tried their best to cover their own side. Due to the influence of the Wei people, the organization of the Donghu Army seemed to be similar to that of the Northern Lu, and the Hu Feng was obvious. However, its military configuration and even weapons were mostly similar to that of the Wei army. Unlike the Northern Lu, there were many throwing weapons such as guns, flying axes, bones, broad swords, flying swords, and many other weapons, including spears, knives, forks, hammers, and even maces.

The Donghu soldiers mainly use iron spears and long slings, combined with a small number of horizontal swords and shields, plus a large number of step archers.

When the two sides contacted, the rain of arrows on their heads was still shooting down. Because they were all armored soldiers, unless they were shot at the vital points from close range, they were usually only slightly injured. Both sides slapped and stabbed each other with long wands, and in a short time they suffered heavy casualties. After noon, after nearly half an hour of fighting, the forward soldiers were extremely tired, and the newly filled trenches were covered with corpses and seriously injured people who were dying moaning.

At this time, the generals of both sides gradually adjusted their arrays, withdrew some exhausted soldiers, and dispatched new forces at the same time.

If one of the two sides is not strong in will or lacks combat power, one side will have an unstable attack when it comes into contact. After half an hour of fighting, the front line will move, and even with the advancement of the main armored soldiers of one side, one side may collapse directly.

This is not the case with the Wei army and the Donghu army.

Both sides did not even invest heavily in heavy troops at the beginning. So far, the situation of intertwining on the battlefield is quite complicated. Both the Donghu and the Wei army have left a considerable number of reserve troops, and even the vanguard troops are dispatched, and they have not directly bet on all their forces to make breakthroughs.

The Wei army mainly focuses on defense tactics. Even if the commander of the former army was Li Youde, the commander of the wing, was famous for breaking through sharpness and being good at attacks, but waiting for labor was a more cost-effective tactic. The Wei army used trenches as natural barriers on the front line, and shot and killed a large number of Donghu armored soldiers with divine arm bows and bed crossbows.

By the beginning of noon, the two sides had not long been engaged, but the ground was already full of dead armored soldiers. Because there were too many dead people, they affected their fight. Before, someone dragged the corpses away, but later too many dead people, both sides were red in their eyes and ignored them. The dead armored soldiers formed a pile of corpses like a hill in the middle of the fight between the two sides. The armored soldiers on both sides stepped on the corpses or seriously injured, and pierced and swung hard.

Around two minutes, the two sides had a tacit pause. Both sides knew each other's strength. At this time, they were resting for a while. Many injured soldiers with exhausted and arrows limped backwards. They were taciturn, tired, their eyes were covered in blood, their throats seemed to be on fire, and their lips were cracked. The battle on the front was a short time, and they could survive a day of hard labor. This was the most real situation on the battlefield. The soldiers and military officers walked silently, drinking the remaining water in the water bag, and then they found a place to squat down and sit down. The front was only a brief calm, and the battle was about to break out at any time.

After the new forces of both sides filled in again, the entire front was full of fighting sounds, the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the sound of bowstrings, the sound of long slapping sounds, the sound of crisp sounds when piercing the armor, and the sound of piercing the human body, the sound of howls, moans, and battles

The noise on the field made my ears buzz, but in the short period of time when I retreated from the front, many people would briefly become deaf. Their ears were buzzing and they could not hear anything. However, after evacuating the front line for hundreds of steps, many people couldn't help but smile. Even the most brutal and experienced Donghu veterans on the battlefield could not help but feel this. Many soldiers couldn't help but take out the water bag and drink it. The weather on this day was unexpectedly warm, and even the wind blew over was warm. By noon, the ground

It is quite muddy, this is the residual ice and snow in winter. The ice and snow moisten the ground. When the temperature is low, the ground is frozen every day. Until now, the climate is visible. On the battlefield where so many people are fighting, in addition to the blood stains everywhere, the ground is also a mess trampled by soldiers. When many people drink water, they don’t care about the mud on the ground, and sit on the ground with their butts, and then watch their comrades holding or holding bows keep moving forward in the sound of drums and under the waving flags.

At the end of the second moment, the two sides continued to slowly add troops, and the smooth battlefield situation was repeatedly broken. The battlefield that stretched for more than ten miles was not conducive to the war between the small number of nearby Yushui, most of the places were already killing each other continuously. There were corpses everywhere, blood flowing into rivers, and large groups of crows were hovering in the sky. They were shocked by the sound of drums and shouts of killing, and they kept flying and did not dare to land. After a long time, they gradually flew to the distance.

Li Guorui, Yue Zhi and others also went to the front army to observe the battlefield. The entire battlefield was still a stage of equal confrontation. For the two strong armies, the equipment, organization, experience, number of people, and the abilities of the generals were almost the same. Both sides had the desire to defeat each other in battle. It was not surprising that the war was fought like this.

Many decisive battles in history, such as the Battle of Kunyang, the Battle of Chibi, and Xiang Yu's back-to-scene battle, all of which were decided in a short moment because the defeated side did not expect that the winner would burst out with powerful strength, and it was also overestimating the strength of one side, which resulted in an unexpected defeat.

There are certainly wars that are evenly matched, and there are naturally long-lasting wars. The famous Battle of Changping seemed to be a defeat after Zhao Kuo led his troops. In fact, from the attacks between Qin and Zhao armies, confronting each other and fighting in Changping, fighting, from cavalry to chariot wars, to ordinary infantry wars, they fought countless battles before Zhao Kuo took office. Both sides were powerful countries in the Warring States Period, and the Zhao army and the Qin army were also strong troops. The war between the two lasted for more than a year. It is conceivable how many times of evenly matched wars broke out on the battlefield. The generals of both sides worked hard and put in a lot of effort.

Faced with the equally elite Zhao army, the commander of the Qin army, even the famous war god Bai Qi, could only do nothing in front of Lian Po's strong walls.

The Battle of Changping was in the late stage, which was directly reflected in the national strength of the two countries. Qin also tried his best to do this battle. He did not recover for many years after the war, let alone take the opportunity to destroy Zhao. Zhao was even worse. Until Qin destroyed the six countries, Zhao did not recover its vitality. In the Battle of Changping, Zhao not only lost a generation of men to strengthen their men, but also fought for all the national strength!

When Zhao Kuo took office, the State of Zhao could not hold on to the overall war. That is, the classical militarism of the pre-Qin period could support hundreds of thousands of people to fight for so long, but in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it could not be done in the later Ming and Qing dynasties. Even if Zhao supported the whole country, when Lian Po stepped down, it was actually Zhao that could not hold on. If he didn't release Zhao Kuo and fight to the death, Zhao would be dead and have no chance. Otherwise, he would be foolish to be the king and minister of Zhao, and put a general who could only talk about war on paper to command the entire country's soldiers who were 400,000 people?
