Chapter 125
Outside Chen County, the banner of the Qin Dynasty spreads across the earth.
It was the evening of the sky, and the camps everywhere began to bury pots and make rice. Flashes of fireworks rose from the Qin army camp, making it even more difficult to see how many Qin soldiers and how many camps were.
Hundreds of thousands of Qin army horses were displayed before Chen County, and the silent power was enough to shock Zhang Chu's army.
Chen She frowned and looked at it for half an hour, and suddenly woke up from a dream and said loudly: "The Qin army is here. Before they can stand firm, they will immediately send troops to steal the camp and give them a warning."
"You must not. Although the Qin army is new, we are prepared for any trouble. If our army attacks rashly, we may be ambushed." A yellow-faced general about seven feet tall bowed and said. A good sword hung around his waist, with brown cowhide armor covering his body, which looked very heroic.
"King, Lu Chen is now more powerful than others and destroys our army's morale. This is a serious crime in the war. I am not talented and am willing to lead 5,000 elite soldiers out to rob the camp." A tall and long-faced general clenched the sword on his waist and provoked Lu Chen.
Chen She nodded, looked at Lu Chen coldly, and smiled at the tall and thin general: "It's still General Wu Xu who is brave, five thousand young men, I'll give you ten thousand elite soldiers to exert Zhang Chu's morale."
Wu Xu bowed and clasped his fists and said "No" to go down the city tower to prepare. Lu Chen looked at Wu Xu's back calmly and sneered in his heart.
Chen She looked at Wu Xuyuan's back and whispered: "Give Qin army a warning, and you will get rewards when you come back."
"Don't worry, the Qin army is just a clown who jumps his beard." Wu Xu's voice came from afar.
Soon, Zhang Chu's army of 10,000 was assembled. Wu Xu made a pre-war mobilization and then opened a corner of the city gate and rushed out in a row.
On the city tower, those who understood, such as Lu Chen, were waiting and watching coldly. Only those guys who usually like to flatter King Chen followed Chen She, saying how brave Wu Xu was and how brave Zhang Chu's army would win.
Chen She stood on the city tower with his hands behind his back, looking far-sighted, with a smile on his lips. He asked Wu Xu to attack from the north gate and rushed straight to the camp with a huge Qin flag hanging from the flag, because it was where Qin Ershi Hu Hai was.
At this time, Hu Hai was also standing on the chariot that had just been raised and looking at Chen County. He saw that the north gate of Chen County opened, and a mixed army of chariots and cavalrymen rushed out.
The leader was Wu Xu, who was tall and tall, with a long face, and his helmet and armor seemed extremely heroic. Wu Xu stood on the chariot and waved his hand to the Qin army camp. The entire 10,000-person team of chariots immediately roared and rushed to the Qin army camp that was setting up camp.
Hu Hai sneered, fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise he would have been attacked when he was setting up camp. Even if the army did not collapse, it would be a huge blow to morale.
Behind Hu Hai, only Ren Xiao was following. At this time, he was reporting to Hu Hai about the crossbow making of Gongshu Duan.
Originally, it was very troublesome to mass-produce this kind of crossbow for use by the army. Even if the Gongshu section does not eat or drink every day, it would take two or three years to be equipped for hundreds of people.
Fortunately, Hu Hai came up with a good idea, and asked Gongshu section to teach each crossbow parts to different craftsmen to produce them, and then assemble them.
At this time, Ren Xiao did not care about Zhang Chujun who was whistling, but was reporting to Hu Hai about the difficulty of building crossbows in pure steel. He hoped that the emperor with many methods could give another idea.
Hu Hai listened carefully to Ren Xiao’s report and was also worried. It was not difficult to make pure steel parts in the modern machinery industry, but it was even more difficult to make Daqin, which was backward.
The dialogue between the monarch and his subjects did not continue because the war outside the camp diverted their attention.
When Wu Xu's chariots and cavalry rushed to the Qin army camp about 150 meters, they were behind the busy camping engineers, and drums sounded.
At the same time, the Qin army's foothills were trembling with the world, and the archers flashed out from the place they had prepared long ago. Standing with the archers were the Qin army's cavalry and chariots.
At the same time, the two chariots and cavalrymen were driven out in Wu Xu's east and west directions, led by Zhao Ben and Yang Xiong, and the leaders of the two armies were all crossbowmen.
"Wind, the strong wind is rising." Qin army shouted in unison.
Flashes of bowstrings came from the camps in the three directions of the Qin army. The bows and arrows rose from the Qin army camp like black smoke, and quickly flew towards Wu Xu's chariots and cavalry.
"Shield, guard." Chen County deserves to be the elite of Zhang Chu. These Zhang Chu soldiers were not panicked when facing the black bows and arrows. Instead, they instantly formed a large array of various shields in their hands with shouts in unison.
Arrows are like rain, and shields are like iron barrels.
The rainwater is everywhere, and the iron bucket does not reveal water.
Although Zhang Chu's shield formation did not show any water, it effectively prevented the Qin army's arrow formation from killing. Under the three powerful rain of arrows, no Zhang Chu soldiers were damaged.
The shield formation protected the bow and arrow, which made Zhang Chu's morale suddenly rise. In order to prevent the Qin army from shooting arrows again, they kept the shield formation and slowly moved towards the Qin army camp.
Hu Hai stood in the car and felt an accident at the scene in front of him. The Qin army's arrow formation was invincible, but unexpectedly it was broken by Zhang Chujun's shield formation.
At the camp gate, Su Jiao led the three armies. The arrow formation did not exert its due lethality for the first time in his hands, which made the rash general almost crazy. He waved his mace in his hand and roared and rushed out of the Qin army camp first. Behind him, tens of thousands of chariots and cavalrymen raised their weapons and roared towards Zhang Chu army.
The two armies flanked by Zhang Chu did not charge, but formed an arrow formation and fired arrows behind Zhang Chu's army.
Under the rapid charge, Zhang Chu's shield formation could not remain stable, and the arrow formation on the flanking Qin army finally effectively killed.
In the direction of the two armies, the collision broke out in time. Tanks and chariots, cavalry against cavalry.
Wu Xu was a general on the chariot. He had thinned his arms and had long arms in his hand. He had killed several chariot drivers who were hitting head-on.
Without the driver, the war horse pulling the cart lost control and collided with the Daqin chariot beside it. The cart wheels and the wood flew in the air. The war horse pulling the cart also neighed and was dragged to the ground by the powerful inertia of the chariot.
Wu Xu roared and his spear rose up. The Qin army's chariot soldiers could not do anything to him for a while. Behind him, Zhang Chu army's chariot soldiers followed closely and killed the Qin army who fell to the ground one by one. Some simply ran over with a cart, and blood and flesh splashed.
Seeing Wu Xuru's sharp knife inserted into the Qin army, Su Jiao roared and rushed towards Wu Xu with his horse.
He was an immediate general, and he was more flexible and not more powerful than the general of the chariot. Wu Xu didn't notice that Su Jiao came alone, and a long spear was splattered from side to side like a wind. Many Qin soldiers were picked up by him and killed by Zhang Chu soldiers following behind.
Hu Hai looked at Wu Xu's chariot and frowned and said, "Where has Su Jiao gone? Let this guy run rampant and destroy the power of our Great Qin army."
"Go down and kill this person." The war flashed in Ren Xiao's eyes.
Hu Hai waved his hand and saw Su Jiao standing in front of Wu Xu's car with a mace.
Seeing Su Jiao, Wu Xu seemed to see a big joke, waved his spear and called out: "Looking for death." In the eyes of conventional troops, cavalry fighting chariot soldiers are indeed suspected of seeking death.
Su Jiao ignored it, waved the mace in his hand and rushed out.
"Crash him to death." Wu Xu roared angrily, and the driver in his car even grinned with the horse. The chariot drew a arc and directly hit Su Jiao.
Su Jiao jumped up immediately, and the war horse was swept away by a chariot, while his huge mace had already been smashed down.
Although Wu Xu had long shot Su Jiao, he was hit hard by Su Jiao's mace and knocked it away directly. His master could not dodge and half of his head was smashed away.
The chariot lost its master and immediately lost control. Su Jiao even slammed the wheel on the side of the chariot with a mace.
