In front of Zhaoying Gorge, there is a flat land about ten miles long and about three miles wide, this section of rare flat land is sandwiched in the mountains, and when it reaches Zhaoying Gorge, it suddenly shrinks inward, forming a canyon landform that Zhaoying Gorge is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The originally dense jungle had long since been cut down, and standing on the walls of the Shadow Gorge fortress, you could almost see it from one end to the other.

When the first rays of sunlight shot out from the mountains in the east, and the sun showed a small half of its face, this area was already a war drum shaking the sky, and the Chu army drove out from the jungle farther away, and began to line up, and since the start of the war, the Qin army, which had never gone out of the city to meet the battle, also closed the door and walked out from the inside.

Today, the two sides are going to fight to the death here.

As An Ruhai said, Ma Chao and Bian Wushuang need such a desperate duel to boost morale, calm down the military spirit that was a little panicked due to internal turmoil, and unanimously muzzle the gun to the outside, and transform the internal contradictions into external contradictions, which is a good plan that has been tried and tested repeatedly.

And An Ruhai also needed this decisive battle to show the Qin people the Chu people's will to fight and determination, so as to ensure that the results of this battle could be consolidated in the years to come.

There were no surprise attacks, ambushes, detours, all tactics had no effect at this moment, and the two sides invariably chose a dignified fight.

One side firmly believes that the mourning soldiers will win, but on the other hand, it carries the momentum of victory since the beginning of the war, and both sides believe that this battle will be won.

The sound of war drums suddenly stopped, and the battlefield where tens of thousands of people were gathered, at this moment before the battle, it was inexplicably quiet, and above the sky, several soaring goshawks swooped down, but when they reached a height of dozens of zhang, they seemed to be greatly frightened, and with a long roar, they once again flapped their wings and rose into the air.

In the Qin army's formation, the sound of war drums rose again, dozens of generals with helmets and armor jumped out, and in the roar of war drums, they raised the big swords in their hands, neighed, and rushed to the battle formation of the Chu army in the distance.

The old sentry burst into tears, holding the spear in his hand tightly, revealing his muscles. The general of the Qin army who rushed into battle, led by Yang Zhi.

Early this morning, several messengers holding arrows in the fortress of Zhaoyingxia arrived at Jiangjun Mountain to convey the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the deputy general Zhong Zhen who stayed behind fortunately escaped this catastrophe and became the commander of the army of Jiangjun Mountain, and was ordered to lead the five thousand soldiers of Jiangjun Mountain to fight, and they will be the vanguard of today's battle.

Yang Zhi was the highest-ranking person brought out by the old sentry, but now, the old sentry had to witness him die.

The spear in his hand was raised heavily and slammed on the ground, and the old sentry raised his head to the sky and let out a long howl. Zhong Zhen turned his head and looked at the old sentry, his eyes were also a little red.

Five thousand soldiers raised their spears at the same time, and the tail of the spear hit the ground, making a muffled sound, and five thousand people shouted in unison, still sad and indignant. Yang Zhi is the first wave, and they are the second wave. As pioneers, they don't think they have much chance of surviving.

Zhong Zhen took a long breath, Yang Zhi and the others were halfway through the charge, he raised the spear in his hand, the tip of the spear flashed with palpitating white light in the sunlight.

"Attack!" He roared.

The soldiers with wooden shields rushed out first, and the five thousand vanguard soldiers rushed out with shouts.

In the camp of the Chu army, Su Qian looked at the dozens of lonely people who were assaulting in front of the Qin army, without the slightest expression on his face, since Yang Zhi's mutiny failed, this is his best fate, dying on the battlefield is much more glorious than a knife in the field, it seems that the Qin people are still humane.

In that case, let them be perfected.

He raised his hand, and thousands of big bows in the three rows in front of the Chu army were raised.

The sound of horses' hooves was crisp, the horses neighed fiercely, and Yang Zhi and the others were getting closer and closer.

Suqian's hand fell.

Thousands of feathered arrows came out of the string, the sky was dark, and the sunlight was blocked from the feathered arrows, enveloping the dozens of generals who were charging forward.

Yang Zhi waved the big knife in his hand, opened the feather arrow as far as he flicked, cut off, and continued to rush forward, from time to time there was a heavy sound of his body falling to the ground behind him, but he did not look back at all, today, it was their last day in this world, it was just the difference between who took the first step.

He hoped that before he died, he could at least let his big knife be stained with the blood of the Chu people.

With a bang, a feathered arrow broke through his defense, and landed heavily on his left chest, and there was a muffled sound from the breastplate, and where the arrow hit, cracks were expanding, and blood was oozing out of the cracks. The pain made Yang Zhi's hand move slowly, and the sword light was slightly reduced, and several feather arrows broke through his knife net, legs, and arms at the same time as if they were hit by a sledgehammer, and the war horse under his crotch neighed in grief.

After the first round of arrow rain, only three people remained who continued to charge forward, Yang Zhi roared angrily, and the other two remaining ones charged forward in a zigzag shape, they were almost about to turn into hedgehogs, and their armor was full of feathered arrows. They were still charging, but their speed was not as good as before, and the war horses under their crotches were hit by countless arrows, and their huge bodies were stained with blood, and they were already a little faltering.

Su Qian's hand was raised high again and fell heavily. The second round of feathered arrows arrived as scheduled.

The war horse fell, and so did his comrades, Yang Zhi was hit by a few more arrows, and with some difficulty, he stood up from the ground with a knife in his hand, and the feather arrows on his head were still whistling, but the target was no longer him, but behind him, the vanguard of the five thousand Qin army that rushed up close to them.

He wanted to take a step, but his legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he couldn't take this step, he howled in despair, tried his best to raise the big knife in his hand, and used his last bit of strength, the long knife cut through the sky and pierced into the Chu army formation not far away.

The long knife broke through the air, a Chu military academy lieutenant jumped out, the spear stretched out, put it on the knife, hey, the spear stabbed at the place where the handle was connected, the wrist trembled slightly, the big knife spun rapidly in the air, as the Chu military captain's long arm stretched, the spear shot back at a faster speed than before, snatched it, and inserted it in front of Yang Zhi.

At the same time, Yang Zhi fell to the ground.

Behind him, his former subordinates were already roaring, and no one looked at the former leaders who fell at their feet, stepping on the corpses of these fallen generals one by one, stepping on the corpses of the horses lying on the ground, the vanguard of the Qin army shouted wildly and rushed to the opposite military formation.

Dust to dust, soil to earth, death to death, where to die, where to bury, this is the creed of the Qin people.

"The shieldmen lined up, the gunners advanced, the swordsmen filled in their positions, and the archers continued to fire." Suqian's roar resounded through the battlefield.

A shield more than a person high was erected, spears poked out of the gaps reserved on the shield, knives with knives in hand, half-kneeling behind the shield, that place was broken, they would rush up to plug the gap, behind them, the archers desperately pulled the bowstring, shooting out one feather arrow after another, there was no need to aim, there was no time to aim, only mechanical shooting feathered arrows.

Qin and Chu battles have always been attacked by the Qin army, of course, there are exceptions, that is, the death battalion led by Qin Feng back then, the desperate heavy assault force, is a fierce killing beast on the battlefield.

The old sentry commander rushed to the front, and he knew very well that at this moment, rushing to the front could protect himself more effectively, because the opponent's dense feather arrows like flying locusts would only extend the second wave of shooting at the rear, the third wave of attackers, and for those whistling feather arrows, no matter how experienced the old sentry commander was, he also felt powerless.

Just now in the middle of running, he saw Yang Zhi's face lying on the ground on his side, he was very calm, just like when this kid stood in front of him when he first entered the barracks, and called out to the chief immaturely.

It only took time to look at it, and the face was overwhelmed by countless big feet.

The old sentry only felt that the depression in his heart had nowhere to vent, he roared wildly, dodged a spear that stabbed suddenly, sideways, low shoulders, and slammed into a shield in front of him, the shield shook, slightly sideways, the old sentry chief had already abandoned the spear in his hand, and held a short blade wrapped around the handle with silk linen in his hand, and stabbed it through the exposed gap.

His hand trembled slightly, and he jerked out his short blade, and blood dripped down from it.

Holding his shoulder against his shield and feeling the power from above waning, the old sentry took a step forward and stopped, knowing what he was going to face next. He has fought with the Chu army for many years, and he has long been familiar with all the contingencies of the opponent.

In the gap, a knife slashed down, but because of the old sentry's pause and missed, the knife light just passed, the old sentry commander had already swooped in like lightning, crashed into the opponent's arms, and the short blade in his hand stabbed into the opponent's lower abdomen without any force.

It was a confrontation between courage, blood, and strong armor. The equipment of the Chu army is enough to dazzle the eyes of the Qin soldiers, even the most ordinary soldiers are all full body armor, and the Qin army, like the old sentry commander, with five hundred people, only has a heart shield on his body.

Long-range strike weapons were even more incomparable, so that the Qin army was not willing to take out their few heavy weapons such as large crossbows at all, because even if they went to the battlefield and faced the overwhelming attacks of the Chu army, there was no room to fight back. Qin and Chu have been fighting for many years, and the Qin people have always used flesh and blood and brave spirit to compete with Chu.

This is the first time that Prince Ma Chao has stood on the battlefield in person, the earth-shattering shouts and killing, the flying feather arrows, made his heart tremble slightly, and his blood was full of blood, this is the real battlefield, and the music that he usually hears in the hall is completely different.

"Your Highness, the left and right wings of the Chu army have moved, and the ministers are also going to fight, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to watch the battle here." Bian Wushuang arched his hand and said to Ma Chaodao.

"General Bian will go by himself." Ma Chao nodded.

Bian Wushuang turned his head and looked at Yuan Enshrinement's words, and Yuan Enshrined nodded slightly, indicating that he knew what he meant and reassured him.

When Bian Wushuang jumped out, on the opposite side, An Ruhai also pulled out the long knife in his hand.
