Chapter 450 Tiger Roar

Luwei Mountain.

As its name suggests, the mountain is as big as a palm.

The chariot was bumpy as it walked along the mountain road. Aaliyah held the box with the golden crown in her hand and kept staring at Zhao Shuang, who was resting his head on one hand and sleeping with his eyes closed.

Until a war horse neighed and walked into the Chinese army array, in front of the chariot.

"Your Majesty, Gubiqi's 30,000 barbarians are less than twenty miles away from here."

Zhao Shuang opened his eyes, and Aaliya lowered her head instantly and withdrew her gaze.

The hand wearing the jade finger ring waved gently, and the army marching in the mountains stopped instantly.

"Array up!"

With one order. Aaliyah was a little surprised. Zhao Shuang did not give instructions on how to form the formation, but the surrounding troops moved on their own, as if they were part of Zhao Shuang's body and moved according to his will.

After saying this, Zhao Shuang closed his eyes again. The people and horses spread out around them, but the chariot continued to move forward and climbed the high slope.

This mountain is not big or high, and the surrounding hillsides are bulging. The place where Zhao Shuang's chariot is located is the highest one, and the surrounding terrain can be seen.

Aaliyah straightened up, still reluctant to put down the box she was holding in her hand, carrying it with her wherever she went.

The chariots can only block the rain and the scorching sun, and are ventilated from all sides. It can be seen that under the hillside, 10,000 Yulin troops are stationed at various crossings, forming formations with chariots.

The heavy armored soldier holding the spear is in front, and the armored soldier holding the bow is behind. The soldiers began to unload arrows from the chariot and distributed them to each archer in a familiar manner.

Aaliyah knew that the Qin army was equipped with crossbows, but she didn't see a single crossbowman here, they were all warriors holding bows. They originally carried an arrow basket behind them, containing fifty arrows. And now, they have two more arrow baskets in their hands.

The empty tanks were arranged in three layers, inside and outside, in the main formation and on both wings. The Yulin Army is well organized. If you look closely, you will see that the Centurion is a unit with clear barriers. Under the large formation, it is divided into dozens of independent combat units.

The giants that Aaliyah was a little afraid of gathered around the high slope, waiting for orders when they put down the ballistas they were carrying.

The knights gathered their horses and placed them in the formation. They climbed to the outermost ridges on both sides and arranged the ballistas left by the giants on both sides of the formation...

Chubiju kept riding his horse, following Aaliyah. At this time, he was a little surprised. This large formation composed of ten thousand Yulin Army completely controlled the mountain in its hands.

Chubiju looked back and saw that the eight huge machine beasts that were following the team just now had now disappeared into the forest behind the formation.

During the waiting and preparation time, Aaliyah was a little nervous. Following the sound of the horn, Aaliyah stretched her neck and saw a group of cavalry galloping on the plains in the distance, and behind them were followed by a large number of horsemen.

It was so dark that I couldn't see clearly.

The cavalry entered the battle.

As the last group of scouts who went to conduct reconnaissance returned to camp, the main formation waved their hands, and the formation of soldiers was completely closed.

Gubic's flag is among the horsemen. His army seemed to be under his influence and filled with rage. When they met the army in front of them, they had already judged that this was the main force of the Qin army.

Immediately, 30,000 Hu cavalry came and charged towards the formation.

The murderous intent of those 30,000 Huqi rushed towards them. Even on the high slope, Aaliya felt a shiver, but when she turned around, she saw Zhao Shuang still had his eyes closed in the chariot, but he just raised his other hand and waved lightly.

Bai Lu, who was on the side, ordered the soldiers beside him to display their flags.

At this moment, the entire formation seemed to come alive.

Before Huma came close, the archers in the formation raised their long bows. When Hu Qi reached a suitable distance and drew the short bow in his hand to tilt the arrow into the formation, three rounds of arrows from the Yu Lin Army had already been fired.

A rain of arrows poured down from the sky, like the howl of death. In an instant, the horses in front of the formation were smashed, and the soldiers of the Yuezhi fell to the ground. The screaming arrows trembled lightly on the ground and were drowned in silence.

The array of Hu cavalry at the front became much sparser. However, the charge of Gubic's army did not stop.

The latecomers followed in the footsteps of their predecessors and rushed towards the formation.

Dianqing had a serious look on his face, looking at the command place on the high slope, the flag changed again and gave the order.

"Defend the enemy!"

The spears in the hands of the soldiers in the front row were put down. They were densely packed and stretched out from behind the chariot, which was terrifying. Hu Qi, who was charging, was frightened, and the horses under them were even more so. They stopped for a moment and began to wander in front of the formation, attacking the enemy with arrows and spears.

However, Hu Qi found that it was difficult for their arrows to penetrate the Qin people's armor and chariot walls and cause effective damage. But when they were still trying to get arrows from the arrow basket, they were hit by arrows fired directly from the Qin army and fell off their horses.

The formation of the Yulin Army is still tightly integrated, with no gaps exposed, but more and more Hu horses have lost their masters in front of the formation.

There is nothing more than three arrows in the battle.

For these Zhao Shuang soldiers who grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, they grew up with bows and arrows, just like the Hu people grew up with horses.

Living with wild beasts in the mountains and forests for a long time gave them sufficient physical strength to maintain the delivery of firepower.

For the general elite archers in the Qin army, they have enough physical strength to maintain accurate shooting in the first half hour. And within the next two hours, scattering can still be maintained.

In fact, in the large-scale melee after the war, precise shooting is not required, large-scale scattering can still cause enough damage.

After two hours, the archer's physical strength will be exhausted and he will no longer be able to maintain his fighting power.

But generally speaking, the war was almost over after that.

Of course, elite archers are rare after all. Compared to archers who require long-term training, crossbowmen are more common among the Qin army.

And Zhao Shuang's 6,000 finely equipped archers are even better than the general elite archers of the Qin army.

In conjunction with the three-line rotation of attacks, half an hour into the battle, arrows were tilted on both sides of the formation, and firepower continued. However, the Hu cavalry in front of the formation could not break through the chariot formation of the soldiers, and they only continued to increase the number of casualties on the battlefield.

"Da Xihou, the Qin people's arrows are sharper than ours, their armor is stronger than ours, and their long bows can shoot farther than our warriors' short bows. The men suffered heavy casualties. Several thousand-man troops were lost, and many tribes also died. Only half of the knights are left. If we don't think of a way, we may have to confess here."

Gubic's lean face flashed with anger that has not yet gone out.

"Where are the troops occupying the ridges on both sides?"

"We have charged several times, but the Qin people have deployed ballistas on the ridges on both sides, and the soldiers cannot charge forward. Instead, they are exposed to the range of the Qin army's archers, and there are many casualties."

The Hu cavalry were scattered and had an advantage in the open and flat battlefield mountains. However, the terrain of Luwei Mountain prevented Hu Qi from taking full advantage of his advantage. He could only compete with the Qin army's heavily armored soldiers on a narrow front. Coupled with the long archers who seemed to be tireless behind them, they suffered heavy losses.

Unable to occupy the ridges on both sides, Gubiqi's army could not penetrate into the Qin army's array, and could only surround the entire Qin army's array, which was like a tortoise shell.

Seeing that Hu Qi was killed and injured more and more, Gubiqi became more and more angry. Thinking of the treasure he had lost and the descendants who were killed by the Qin people, Gubiqi could not swallow his anger.

"The cavalry I sent should also go around to the forest behind the Qin army's formation."

As he spoke, Gubic held the necklace he wore on his chest.

"This is the last ditch effort!"

Only by charging from behind and disrupting the Qin army's formation can they gain a chance of victory.

However, the roar of tigers coming from the trees and the Qin army's rear formation, which had been silent for a long time, brought Gubiqi's hope little by little into the abyss.
