There is simply nothing worse than the internal instability of the upcoming war, and whether it can be handled properly is a severe test for Lu Zhelai. He had already written an order to the ladle in the rear, but he was still unsure whether the ladle could be properly handled.

When the army marched to seventy miles away from Yan County, it was encamped, and Kuaitong with five hundred Lu Zhe's personal soldiers also broke away from the army, and the direction of going was the rear.

That night, Lu Zhe also received a battle report from the front, the outer wall of Fort A No. 2 had been lost in less than two days, and the reason for this was that the Qin army's arrow array was too sharp, and the defenders would not go out, and the Qin army would always carry out arrow covering. The defenders have now fully retreated to the main body of the fort, but the structure of the fort is special, the Qin army cannot enter too many troops at a time, and the entrance of the fort has not been lost for the time being.

After receiving such a battle report, Lu Zhe couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, most of the armor forts in each protrusion were from his handwriting, and he knew the defense of the armor number. At the beginning of the construction, it was expected to be able to defend the enemy army with the outer city outline for at least half a month, after all, those wall outlines were angular rather than elongated, but I didn't expect it to be lost in less than two days?

"Bed crossbow? The stone throwing truck ......" Lu Zhe began to understand when he saw these two instruments appear on the station newspaper, "First destroy the top cover of the wall profile, and then cover it with an arrow array, and the defenders will definitely suffer heavy casualties if they die against the wall profile." The defenders had only a thousand troops, and they really could not afford to lose too much in the wall. Otherwise, sticking to the main body of the fort will inevitably lead to a shortage of troops, and it will be impossible to engage in a tug-of-war with the Qin army. ”

The fort lost more than 300 men in two days, except for a few who were killed in the battle for the corridors within the walls, and the vast majority of the troops were killed by arrows as they tried to hold the walls. It can be seen that the Qin army's long-range attack ability is really formidable, unless it can shoot at a targeted long-range distance, otherwise no one can stand the endless arrow coverage, which is why the Qin army consumes a large number of arrows per city!

"Zhou Wen, where is Zhou Wen now?" Lu Zhe rummaged through the official documents, but did not see Zhou Wen's official letter, but learned from the defenders of Ye County that 14,000 reinforcements rushed to the aid in the starry night yesterday

It's really fast. The 14,000 troops rested for only two hours in two days. Zhou Wen immediately led his army north after taking over military power in Yan County. They passed through Ye County but did not advance, and according to the distance they took, it was estimated that they would arrive at the battlefield the next day. It's just that the reinforcements are marching fast, but why hasn't a single military message been delivered?

Stone-throwing carts have appeared in the Spring and Autumn period. It is not surprising that the Qin army has a stone-throwing cart. Lu Zhe also knew that the current catapult had a range of less than 150 paces. If it weren't for the Qin army's advantage of the arrow array, the stone-throwing cart would not have come within one hundred and fifty paces at all.

The catapult and the catapult are two different instruments, and the range of the catapult that fires the same stone projectile is about 60 steps longer than that of the catapult. Reach a maximum attack distance of 210 paces.

The Qin army had a stone-throwing cart, and Lu Zhe couldn't predict how long Fort A No. 2 could hold on, and he was now eager to know where the reinforcements led by Zhou Wen were, and whether they could play a role as reinforcements before Fort A No. 2 was smashed out of the gap by the Qin army's stone-throwing cart.

"20,000 Qin troops, at least ten bed crossbows, three stone throwing carts, ......" No wonder, Lu Zhe wondered how the Qin army could attack Nanjun, which was full of soldiers, without sufficient preparation, "This is something to rely on!" ”

Zhou Wen's reinforcements had indeed gone up, but the scouts he sent reported that his fort had only lasted one day and had lost its outer walls, and he was very skeptical that the false shot he had come up with before would have the desired effect. He also found out that the Qin army had at least 5,000 crossbowmen, and he looked worriedly at the 14,000 troops, only 2,000 of whom had armor and less than 3,000 shields, and felt that if he could not be entangled with a false shot, then the Qin army with 5,000 crossbowmen, bed crossbows, and stone-throwing carts should all be accounted for.

When the 14,000 reinforcements crossed the front line of Ye County, Zhou Wen led the army to turn into the forest area, and after he hidden, he ordered people to find the bamboo forest to make a shield urgently, in case it was really entangled and there was no shield defense to be covered and wiped out by the Qin army several times. During the period of making zuò shields, 14,000 people were able to take a break and relieve fatigue.

During this period, Zhou Wensi thought about it and realized that even if all 14,000 reinforcements were lost, it was not more important than dragging the Qin army. It's just that he was very hesitant to lead the army to fight for the first time, what would Lu Zhe do.

After almost three hours, more than 5,000 bamboo shields tied up with bamboo were completed, and the carving repeatedly urged Zhou Wenyi to grit his teeth and issue an order to continue the march.

Fourteen thousand people left the forest and continued to march north, and the scouts scattered on the way continued to report the discovery of the Qin army scouts, Zhou Wen knew that he had been discovered by the Qin army, and now they were still twenty miles away from the battlefield, he finally lived up to the talent that had resisted Huan Chu with inferior forces for half a year, and ordered the troops to continue to march north.

The Qin army found that the reinforcements of the defenders of Nanjun were either to speed up the attack on the fort or to separate troops to intercept the reinforcements. The vanguard officer of the Qin army predicted how long it would take for the three stone-throwing trucks to blast out of the gap, and made an arrangement of dividing 10,000 troops to intercept the reinforcements of Nanjun and 10,000 to continue to besiege the fort.

As Zhou Wen ordered to continue to move north, the distance between the 14,000 reinforcements and the Qin army continued to close, and the reinforcements led by Zhou Wen scouted about 16 miles close to the fort to report the military situation of the Qin army's division of troops, Zhou Wen immediately sent 1,000 people to the direction of Hanshui, and then led the army to the forest not far away.

Fifteen miles was two hours for the army to march closely, and during these two hours, Zhou Wen constantly sent people to check the surrounding terrain, and personally determined the situation of the forest, and finally decided that 13,000 people would wait for the Qin army in the woods.

When the Qin army arrived, it was already Shen Shi of the same day, and when they saw the reinforcements from Nanjun cowering in the forest, they did not immediately enter it, and they also sent people to explore the nearby terrain.

Zhou Wen's reinforcements made the first contact with the Qin army, one in the forest and the other outside the forest, and the two sides confronted each other, allowing the scouts to encounter each other, and then continued to fight.

Compared with the experienced scouts of the Qin army, the southern side that was drawn from various counties to form an army was obviously not an opponent, and after losing nearly 100 men, Zhou Wen no longer sent scouts, but pulled his troops to a position of two miles at the edge of the forest and began to set up troops.

"Can't light a fire to force them out?" The commander of the 10,000 Qin army, Captain Dang Xuan began to hate the damn weather in the south, "Then do a scattering first!" ”

Just after the rainy season, the forest ground in various parts of Nanjun was wet, and Zhou Wen chose the location of the head wind, otherwise how would he dare to lead the troops into the forest before the battle.

Two thousand crossbowmen from the 10,000 Qin army began to line up after the sound of the horn, and then the Qin army divided three thousand men to defend the left and right flanks of the crossbowmen, and the five thousand Qin troops slowly approached the forest.

Zhou Wen watched the movements of the Qin army with wide eyes, and saw that the rear of the Qin army after dividing five thousand troops set up an offensive array, and said to the carving next to him: "It's a pity, I was going to take advantage of their division of troops to get close to the forest and rush to kill for a while, but the rear team of the Qin army is obviously waiting for us to kill out." You can't rush to kill! ”

Diao Ding was far more familiar with the Qin army than Zhou Wen, after all, he was born in the orthodox Qin army, how could he not know this?

The five thousand Qin troops approached three hundred steps, and a Qin voice roared something, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a bangzi sound suddenly sounded......

"Raise your shield! Raise your shield! Zhou Wen immediately tightened his body when he heard the sound of bangzi, "Steady, raise the shield to steady!" ”

Strange "da-" and various sounds began to be frequently emitted in the forest, and most of the arrows shot from the direction of the Qin army were blocked by the treetops, branches, and body of the trees, and did not fall on the target much, so the screams brought were not frequent.

The second wave of arrow rain hit, Zhou Wen held the bamboo shield on his head, and kept roaring in his mouth, "Ready!" Get ready! The carving, which was transferred to the other side, was also shouting "Ready!" Get ready! When the arrow fell, the strange sound was making again, and almost at the same time, Zhou Wenhe roared: "Attack!" ”

In an instant, shouts erupted, and the 10,000 soldiers on the side of Nanjun were led by Diao Ding to run forward, and Zhou Wen led 3,000 people to start a detour.

The distance between the two sides was three hundred paces, and when the Qin army saw the enemy charge, they began to order the crossbowmen to shoot arrows freely, and the 1,500 melee soldiers on each flank trotted in front of the crossbowmen in front of the formation.

The closer the Nanjun soldiers charged forward, the closer they got to the arrows, the more they lay down at least three hundred robes when they approached a hundred paces, and if there were no trees to cover them, even if there were shields, more would fall.

Among the Qin army, the command of "ready for battle" was frequently issued, and it took about thirty breaths to shout, and a "Hey!" shouted by 5,000 people. The vastness was incomparable, and then the Qin army launched a counter-charge in silence.

Zhou Wen, who was in a roundabout way, paid attention to the movement of the Qin army's rear team, and looked at his own side's charging situation, he saw his own 10,000 soldiers colliding with the Qin army's counter-charging soldiers, and there were screams of each other's ups and downs in his ears.

One by one, just colliding with each other, Nanjun's side immediately concave a line, countless soldiers were pierced by the spears or spears of the Qin army, and the two sides mixed together to fight after a momentum.

Most of the soldiers in Nanjun were mainly short ge, and nearly 500 people were killed at the moment of contact, and they lost 500 in less than a cup of tea in the time they fought together, and Zhou Wen, who was so shocked that he was looking for an opportunity to cut in, couldn't help but twitch his cheeks.

"The Qin army is as strong as this!?" Zhou Wen was fighting with the Qin army for the first time, and he was too impressed by the silent fighting of the Qin army, "The loss is nearly a thousand, and the killing and wounding of the Qin army will not exceed two hundred!" ”

At this time, the Qin army outside the forest also began to advance with a trumpet, Zhou Wen took a breath of conversation, and ordered to the trumpeter next to him: "Blow the order to retreat." ”

At this moment, Zhou Wen's mood when his face became pale can be imagined.

No, it really doesn't work, even if the terrain is used to eliminate the advantage of the Qin army's bow and arrow, but the gap in combat power between the two sides is still too big! (To be continued......)
