Chapter 458 Breaking the Army
When the Hu cavalry came out, the ground collapsed and the mountains were destroyed.
The wind and clouds moved, the warm sunshine was blocked, and the cold air on the earth gathered again, carrying the smell of blood and the sound of horse hooves, and invaded the Qin army's array.
The black armor is dull, the spear is full of light; the carved bow is full of moon, and the arrow is ready to be stringed.
Sergeant Yu Lin was waiting. The moment Hu Qi entered the shooting range, the accumulated killing intent and fighting intent shot out with the sound of the bow string.
Bursts of arrow rain, with the power to destroy everything, wiped out the Hu Qi like locusts.
Just like what has been proven today: the Qin army should not act recklessly in front of the formation.
However, this time the all-out attack was slightly different.
This large group of Hu cavalry, relying on their numerical advantage, no longer rushed directly to the front of the formation, but detoured towards the two wings and rear formation.
Once a corner is breached, Hu Qi can take advantage of the situation and rush into the formation, disrupting the formation of the 10,000 Yulin army and finally destroying it.
On both wings of the formation, the pressure suddenly increased.
On the ridges on both sides, the ballistas that had already been placed seemed to be waiting for this moment. The giant iron-clad crossbow arrows shot down the mountain, swooping down and shooting through the charging Hu Qi, including their men and horses, before rolling down, knocking away those behind them and blocking the road.
Then, more than a thousand elite soldiers on both sides stood condescendingly, waiting with their bows drawn. The arrows flew down, forming a fire network in the mountains.
Although there were many Hu cavalry, they could not move forward for a while.
On the high slope, Zhao Shuang observed the two wings and saw that there was no danger. He was waiting to see the rear formation when he heard a tiger roar.
This voice no longer had the usual golden sound of overcoming thorns and thorns, but it contained a hint of mourning.
Zhao Shuang turned around, only to see the huge machine beast falling to the ground surrounded by Hu Qi. The Mohist disciples among them did not escape and were killed by Hu Qi.
Although the Eight-Headed White Tiger is unparalleled in killing power, it cannot stop thousands of horsemen.
Leonard's most elite cavalry divided and surrounded the eight machine beasts. Hundreds of people hooked the machine white tiger with ropes, making it stagnant.
Losing flexibility, the white tiger of the mechanism becomes a handle. However, Leonard's elite cavalry did not completely eliminate the white tigers. When the situation reached a stalemate, the remaining cavalry did not wait, but continued to attack the rear formation through the gaps.
"Your Majesty, let us go!"
At this time, Li Mang was standing by and said.
"It's not time for you to take action yet."
With enemies on all sides, Zhao Shuang looked beside him and shouted.
"Recruiting the military lords in the formation."
"promise!"
As soon as the order came out, many of the Yulin sergeants in the front, middle, two wings, and rear formations no longer cared about the tense situation in front of them, came towards the high slope, and gathered under Zhao Shuang's banner. , hundreds of people.
"Do you still have some strength left?"
The people in front of Zhao Shuang are all sharpshooters in the army. The situation has been tense since the war started. But unlike the soldiers stained with blood, their bodies were impossibly clean.
As long as the long bow is in hand and the feather arrows are equipped, no horseman can get close.
"What did your Majesty say? This soft bow is too uncomfortable to use. We have been waiting for your Majesty's order for a long time."
At this moment, one of the hundreds of military princes shouted loudly, and the others laughed.
"Okay, change the bow."
As Zhao Shuang finished speaking, Bai Lu came with people and a cart. And what was carried on this chariot were all three-stone hard bows.
All the military princes dropped the soft bows in their hands and went to pick up the hard bows, holding them in their hands like a treasure.
"This bow was made by a master craftsman in Guanzhong. There are only a thousand left. Take it and go to the rear formation. I want the enemy chief's most elite cavalry to be wiped out in the formation."
Zhao Shuang's words contained murderous intent.
When all the military princes got their names, they only complained once.
"promise!"
Leonard's marching adjutant rushed to the rear formation with Leonard's most elite cavalry. After subduing the machine beast obtained from the intelligence, they rushed towards the rear formation without stopping.
Unlike the front line, the rear line was weak, with only a few thousand people.
Just as Hu Qi and the Qin Army were getting closer and closer, and Atuda thought the goddess of victory was waving to him, an arrow flew from the Qin Army's formation.
What's going on, this distance?
The feathered arrow did not change its trajectory and fall to the ground due to weakness in the middle path as Atuda expected, but came straight towards his face.
At the critical moment, Atuda relied on instinct to turn around on his horse and dodge the arrow. But in his field of vision, the knight behind him was hit by the arrow and flew backwards from his horse while running.
Atuda turned around again on his horse and returned his vision to the Qin army's rear formation, only to see a vague figure among the sergeants, drawing back his bow. His face was blurry, but his figure was graceful. Under the sunlight, his figure seemed to be shrouded in light.
This arrow was shot by him. Among the Qin army, there was such a master shot.
When Atuda was rejoicing, he saw more than a dozen, dozens, hundreds... more and more vague figures in the Qin army's array with their bows drawn.
No way……
For a moment, Atuda was stunned. However, time did not continue to wait for him.
But he saw a shower of arrows coming towards his face, and that sharp breath, with a whistling sound that broke through the air, flew into Hu Qi's body.
After a long time, before the Qin army's rear formation, a blood line built with Hu Qi's corpse at the edge of Yulin Junhou's range appeared clearly with clear barriers.
"Da Xihou."
Leonard waited in the formation for a long time, but did not receive any good news from Atuda. Instead, he saw a head of a household with blood on his armor, riding back on horseback.
"how?"
"The Qin army lined up in the rear with hundreds of sharp archers. They stretched their bows and shot hard, but none of us could get close. Master Atuda was hit by three arrows, but he is still commanding."
Leonard clasped his hands and glanced at the sun, only to see that it was already setting in the west.
Time passed by, and Leonard had not yet waited for the good news from the front. He was a little unwilling and still dragging his feet. Finally, at a certain moment, hope was completely lost, and Leonard gave the order.
"Let Atuda return to the army."
On the high slope, Zhao Shuang looked at the disturbance among the Hu Qi array. The bugle call for withdrawal rang out, and Hu Qi, who was in the offensive position, began to retreat.
"It's too late!"
Zhao Shuang looked at Hu Qi who was starting to retreat around the military formation and shouted loudly.
"Limang."
"My subordinate is here."
The giant, who had been drinking and had a red face, immediately became energetic when he heard Zhao Shuang's call.
"Inform the whole army that after a long and fierce battle, Hu Qi has lost his will to fight and his fighting spirit. The whole army is in Yandang formation and goes out to kill the enemy."
After saying that, Zhao Shuang looked at Limang.
"Zhu Rong's troops are at the head of the geese, breaking through the enemy's main formation."
"promise!"
As the sun sets in the west, at dusk at Huquan Terrace, one hundred thousand Hu cavalry have been attacking the Qin army's formation for a long time. They cannot retreat. They are about to withdraw their troops, but they are jammed with people and horses. Ten thousand Yu Lin took advantage of the situation and went out into battle, stretched out their bows to cover up the killing, and the random cavalry were in chaos, causing many casualties.
