Chapter 26 The decline of Shushan(1/2)

Cherry blossoms fall, and corpses left over from the battle between the two armies can be seen everywhere in the mountains and fields.

The war was tragic, which Yu Ziqi did not expect at the beginning.

The tug-of-war in the mountains in March helped the mountain people in Shushan suffer heavy losses. Wherever the Qin army passed, they burned the city and destroyed the village without leaving any living. The mountain villages, which were originally self-sufficient, quickly turned into ruins.

More importantly, the Qin army's methods were not only so. While using cruel means to deal with those disobedient counterfeit villages, they also bribed other neutral villages with generous profits.

Those who follow suit and those who go against the contrary will die.

Soon, the Qin army found a strong support for him in the local area.

Among these supporters, there are many people who know the local terrain very well and have grown up here since childhood. With their help, the Qin army marched and set up camp smoothly. It soon advanced to the center of the Shushan sphere of influence.

In the valley, the two armies faced each other.

On one side were more than 10,000 troops led by Yu Ziqi, and on the other side were five thousand soldiers of the Qin army led by Zhao Tuo.

The encounter between the two sides came unexpectedly, and no one expected that a decisive battle would take place here.

Zhao Tuo rode on the horse, his tiger's eyes looked ahead, two hundred steps away, and more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in Shushan were arranged. Most of them were leather-robed bamboo spears, which were more than one level away from the well-equipped Qin army.

The nearby mountain passes were already occupied by their own troops, so Zhao Tuo was not in a hurry. This team of more than 10,000 is enough to find any tricks.

For Yu Ziqi, the Qin army in front of him was quite special. They were different from ordinary Qin soldiers with iron armor, bronze surfaces, long swords and heavy swords. They were wearing leather armor, each with a long sword, and several short blades of daggers and blades on their legs. They were tied with buckles around their waists, and there were many things hanging on them, including skin bags containing water, crossbows, dozens of crossbow arrows, and medicine baskets.

Yu Ziqi, a Qin army dressed in such a costume, had never seen it before. However, Yu Ziqi was a smart person after all, and soon understood what was the purpose of the Qin army polishing such a team?

"I didn't expect that the Qin army actually trained a team to fight in the mountains and fields."

On the battlefield, no matter what kind of shocking strategy is, it will eventually turn into the simplest contest.

If you can fight or not, and you can beat it, it is the simplest manifestation of victory, defeat, life and death.

The battle between blood and blood, iron and iron. Return to the most primitive struggle of human beings, and has reproduced from the slash-and-burn seeds and fires to the present, human beings have experienced countless battles.

Now, Shushan and Qin army are just repeating this process.

"Go!" Yu Ziqi waved his hand, and more than ten thousand soldiers from Shushan began to advance forward.

"The six countries were destroyed, and there were still people in the world who dared to rush to the front when our Qin army was in formation." Zhao Tuo rode on the horse and sneered disdainfully. The enemy's strength lies in the mountains and fields, and the attack was roundabout, not in the frontal battle.

The Qin army is different, with division of labor and cooperation and well-trained, which is not comparable to this group of people from the mountains and fields.

More than 10,000 people rushed, and the dust rose on the road was rising. The Qin army was lined up in the formation and was still silent. Without the commander's order, even if the enemy had rushed to the front of the formation, the Qin army would still not move.

Discipline and order are the core content of all Qin soldiers’ training.

Zhao Tuo looked at the soldiers and horses of Shushan who were getting closer and closer, and the bronze sword in his hand gently slashed.

"drink!"

The Qin soldiers at the forefront drew out the sword of the ring leader, while the Qin soldiers on the second line behind them held the crossbow that had been equipped with crossbow arrows.

The distance of twenty steps is the most effective range of killing for the crossbow. With one round of shooting, many Shushan people who were hitting the front line fell down and never got up again.

The people from Shushan stepped over the corpse of their companions and continued to rush forward. The distance of twenty steps was within one or two breaths.

Swish, another rain of arrows. In a hurry, the Qin soldiers on the third line handed the crossbow in their hands to the Qin soldiers on the second line, allowing them to avoid the time of loading crossbow arrows and perform an effective killing as much as possible.

The battle began, and the number of people in Shushan was twice as strong as the Qin army, and their bravery was still above the Qin army. With a strong aura, they rushed into the Qin army's array with their spears.

Qin Bing was not afraid, so they raised their long swords and began to fight.

The valley was large enough, and the front battle quickly turned into a global melee, which was also Yu Ziqi's purpose, so that the muddy waters could make fish. Only when the Qin army was in chaos could Shushan have a chance to win.

Zhao Tuo squinted his eyes. Under the scorching sun, the breeze blew, bringing a cool feeling to his face.

"I didn't expect that there were such people who were proficient in military tactics in the barbarians in Bazhong."

On the battlefield, the people from Shushan interspered from both sides and had already entered their own mid-range, and the back formation was already in danger.

When the other party divides his array into two, he will definitely lose.

"Change the formation!" The flags intertwined and the golden drums roared.

The Qin army in front gradually retreated from the square formation to the long snake formation. At the same time, the people who rushed into the middle formation on Shushan increased their pressure.

"The other party is indeed not Yi's person."

Yu Ziqi was on the high stone and watched the Qin army change its formation and wipe out all the troops and horses that had already rushed into the middle formation. After that, the Qin army's array became stable again, full of elasticity, and extended to both sides. Such superb command skills are rare. How many troops were defeated by the enemy between advance and retreat.

The magic of military personnel in using troops is that among the small gap, there are considerations of many factors.

The quality and training level of soldiers. The most important thing about the command of generals and grasping the situation on the battlefield is that the confidence of soldiers in generals is the source of morale.

"Come with me."

Zhao Tuo shouted, and more than a hundred cavalry were following his orders. The soldiers did not ask about the result or the process. The point of Zhao Tuo's sword was the direction of their attack without any hesitation.

More than a hundred cavalry of Zhao Tuo detoured from one side of the battlefield and rushed into the opponent's back line. More than a hundred cavalry rushed past and pierced the Shushan people at the forefront of the Qin army's array for a round trip.

"We can't continue like this anymore." Yu Ziqi looked at the already disintegrated people on his side, punching the stone and smashing a crack.

"Follow me to rush into the formation."

Yu Ziqi shouted loudly, but the people around him remained motionless for a long time.

Yu Ziqi raised his head and looked at the people around him with a look of fear.

"Sir, just us, rushing into the formation is not like dying." Behind Yu Ziqi, someone mustered up the courage and said.

Yu Ziqi's eyes became dim. After a long time, he sighed: "I understand, withdraw the troops!"

The young man Yu Ziqi was not convinced that he was inferior to others. However, after these days of fighting with the Qin army, especially today, he looked at the Qin general wearing silver armor on the battlefield, riding and passing through the battlefield without encountering an opponent, and his mighty power was like a god of war. He finally realized that he was still too young after all.

When can I find a trustworthy partner? When can I train a soldier of my own? Let them go around the battlefield according to their own wishes, just like what the Qin general did today.

In the long valley, the people in Shushan began to retreat one after another. Yu Ziqi stood beside the road, pondering.

"General, should we pursue?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has an order to conquer Shushan and try to retain the population as much as possible. The other party has been killed and has not been afraid at this moment." Zhao Tuo said.

"yes!"

For soldiers, the head is military merit. Watching nearly 10,000 military merits slip away from their fingertips obviously violated the interests of the soldiers present. However, this army had no intention of disobeying Zhao Tuo's orders at all. In fact, most soldiers did not show any unhappy expression on their faces.

"Who is this general?" On the high cliff, the moon god of the Yin-Yang family looked at the battlefield below and asked.

"Zhao Tuo!" Xiangjun said this next to the moon god. Xiangjun is the only one among the five elders of the Yin-Yang family who pays more attention to outsiders. The intelligence agency of the Yin-Yang family is in the hands of Xiangjun.

"What a Zhao Tuo." Yue Shen Lian opened her mouth slightly and praised softly.

Interesting! Interesting! This man actually had a dragon aura on his body, and there were such figures under Ying Ziyi's tent. Yue Shen was secretly surprised.

After the moon god said, she stopped talking. She stood quietly, wondering what to think about. Xiangjun looked at the moon god like this, frowned slightly, and then turned her gaze to the distance again.

Shushan.

The girl was practicing Shushan’s martial arts under the Fusang divine tree. Her soft waist twisted gently, and her shoulders and arms stretched, full of graceful beauty, as if she was dancing. The girl had been practicing for a long time, and sweat oozed out of her fair skin.

"Xiao Yu!" A soft shout made the girl stop moving and look not far away.

A tall and muscular man was at the intersection leading to the foot of the mountain, smiling and looking at the girl.

"Brother Xuanluo!" The girl was a little alarmed, and stumbled into the man named Xuanluo like a deer.

Shame Luo touched the girl's head and smiled and said, "You have been practicing under the tree for so long? It's time to take a break."

"Yeah!" the girl nodded gentlely and said, "I want to practice Shushan's martial arts well, so that I can help you brother and brother Xuanluo."

When the girl talked about Yu Ziqi, Xuan Luo's eyes suddenly dimmed. The girl was an extremely intelligent person. She looked at Xuan Luo and bent her head and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't my brother fighting in front?"

"The front line is not good. Yu Ziqi has led his army to retreat, and the Qin army is already very close to here. The elder ordered that our Yu Yuan guards should be dispatched."

"Where are you going?" the girl asked curiously.

"Assassinate the chief general of the Qin army."

"Captain Qin?" The girl who grew up in the mountains only went out once with her brother. She didn't know much about things outside. However, even so, the girl had heard that the prince of Qin led this time.

"That's right." Sha Luo's face was firm and fearless. He knew very well what the result would be? It was a good result for a lifetime.

"Brother Xuanluo will definitely succeed." The girl said with a beautiful smile on her face.

"Why?"

"Because Brother Xuanluo is the most powerful person I have ever seen." The girl smiled innocently, and the answer given by the girl made Xuanluo smile bitterly.

"Brother Xuanluo will not disappoint you." The man smiled and promised to the girl under the red leaves in the sky.

The girl's face turned slightly red. She looked at the tall and strong man in front of her and unconsciously lowered her head.

The girl's posture made her feel that even if she did anything to her now, the girl would still agree.

"Brother, it's time for us to leave." Just as Xuan Luo was about to go further, a Yu Yuan guard behind him said.

"Okay, it's time for me to leave." Xuan Luo originally reached out to the girl's arm and gently patted her shoulder.

"Come on, Brother Shame!"

Xuanluo turned around and left, leaving the girl with a strong and broad back

? "Is this the strength of Yu Yuan's guard?" Xinghun sneered, and the lilac blade formed by gathering energy into a blade slowly retreated.
