The sound of three long and one short horn is not abrupt, the Qin army has long used horns in war, and the war drums only appear during a qiē celebration or military exercise, which is probably because the Qin state evolved from a nomadic people? In fact, a light horn is indeed more convenient than a huge war drum.

Su Lie and the others, who had entered the second camp, were shocked when they heard the sound of the horn, they had been told that the Qin army would not be restrained before they came in, and about two quarters of an hour had passed since the attack began, and what should have happened finally happened, and they heard the horn sound that might be the signal of the Qin army, but instead of feeling frightened, they were faintly excited.

Yes, it's excitement, and the soldiers who came in, including Su Lie, were really excited. If killing in is just the beginning, then the Qin army's counterattack is a good show, and it is really Cairo.

"Ready! Get ready! Get ready! "It's not Su Lie shouting, it's the marquis of the thousand teams shouting orders, so that the soldiers under his command are ready to meet the Qin army that may be killed, and fold the shields and line up before the Qin army comes.

The sound of rumbling footsteps came from the third camp, and it could be vaguely seen that there were Qin troops lining up and marching forward, and the front of those Qin troops was replaced by a small round shield in one hand and a Changge in the other, presumably to guard against possible arrows from a distance.

Su Lie couldn't see more, but he could tell from the movement that was not only the Qin army in this camp that was moving, but also the sound of horns in the distance, judging from the sound that came from the left and right wings?

In the rear, Lu Zhe, who was standing on top of the nest car, could see the movements of the Qin army more clearly.

After Sima Xin ordered to blow the horn of three long and one short, the camps on the left and right wings of the Qin army, which had been prepared for a long time, lit up the torches, and the gates on both sides were also opened, and the Qin soldiers stepped on the chaotic footsteps and rushed out.

Lu Zhe smiled after seeing the left and right flanks of the Qin army dispatching troops, why did he send people to attack the Qin camp, and why did he order the troops to prepare early, in order to have a core purpose, that is, to weaken Sima Xin's troops as much as possible before the Imperial Envoy team led by Feng Zheng came.

Weakening is not the same as defeating and annihilating. It takes a long time to defeat or annihilate Sima Xin's troops, and what Lu Zhe lacks is time, and he doesn't want Sima Xin's troops to retreat without being hit, so weakening has become the best choice.

In the war, the commanders of both sides will always deliberately leave flaws or create flaws, Sima Xin chooses to leave flaws and wants to eat part of the enemy army, and Lu Zhe chooses to create flaws and then set up a backhand. It's ridiculous to say that it's a thing you love me to do, the only purpose is to kill people, and to see who can kill the most in the game, it's a bloodletting-like contest in layman's terms. This is a tacit matter for the commanders of the army. It can be said that it is inconceivable or does not treat soldiers as human beings, but that is also a kind of military convention, and the commander of which side is the first to retreat means weak. (Some people call this the Spring and Autumn Ceremony, this practice was still going on during the First World War in Europe, but there was no more in China)

"How many are there?"

No one could answer Lu Zhe's question, but he could say that sentence as if he was talking to himself, and he didn't expect an answer at all. After all...... There was only one herald with a torch on top of the nest car.

Because of the preparations, after the left and right flank camps of the Qin army were dispatched. The gate of the camp on Lu Zhe's side was also opened, and the soldiers who had been ready for a long time began to reorganize the formation of the camp about a mile out of the camp under the leadership of officers at all levels.

To tell the truth, in addition to the soldiers, only some auxiliaries that have been reorganized early will arrange simple military formations, such as the guest army and the auxiliaries that were reorganized later can only arrange long formations in tun units. One tun follows another, and then forms an irregular square array. It's an array, not a military formation. The formation can change to defend or attack, and the queue is just a simple shape.

Judging from Lu Zhe's position, the fire in the Qin camp was very large. The location of the fire should be the second camp of the Qin army, which means that the six thousand people led by Su Lie have already ignited the fire dragon. There was only one explanation, and the Qin army in the third camp began to do their best to attack Su Lie's troops who were deep in the camp.

Look at the front of the Qin military camp again. Starry bright spots were approaching the bonfire from the left and right wings, and it was clear that the Qin army wanted to destroy or burn the equipment that had smashed them for a day and a night.

Su Lie led 6,000 men to attack the camp, but there were still 24,000 soldiers guarding instruments such as bed crossbows, not turtles that had been completely peeled off. Long-range equipment, it is impossible to approach from a distance without paying a price, and Mei Kai has five thousand crossbowmen in his hands, whether he can get close depends on how much the left and right wings of the Qin army are willing to pay.

On each side of the left and right flanks of the Qin army, in addition to leaving 5,000 necessary personnel in the camp, 20,000 men were dispatched. It's surprising that there would be such a move, but if you know it, you can learn a little about it. It was really a rare risky move for Sima Xin to dispatch such a military force, he was half forced by his subordinates and half held the idea of trying to weaken the enemy army in exchange for breaking through in a battle, and he couldn't help but say that he wanted to weaken the opponent's strength and Lu Zhe thought of going together.

The 40,000-strong Qin army was constantly approaching the positions set up by Mei Kai from the left and right flanks, and the operators of the bed crossbows and car crossbows were no longer supporting Su Lie's troops who were trapped in the Qin army's camp, but pointed their spearheads at the Qin troops on the left and right flanks that were constantly pressing.

The bed crossbow in charge of calibrations had been lit and sent out crossbow arrows with greased strips of cloth, and various passwords were frequently shouted.

In this situation, Ji Bu, who took over the defense, was also constantly adjusting the formation of his melee soldiers, and he moved the rattan armor soldiers and spearmen to the left and right flanks of the enemy's approach, and in front of him were sword and shield carts lined up in long lines. From time to time, he looked at the Qin army's camp with worried eyes, as if he was worried that Su Lie would be finished under the Qin army's fierce attack before the reinforcements went up.

It's how good the friendship between Ji Bu and Su Lie is, but Su Lie's task in the Qin army camp is very critical, and the six thousand people want to contain the main camp of the Qin army, God knows how many Qin troops there are, but it must be the most elite unit of the Qin army that can be stationed in the main camp. If Su Lie didn't come up to the main force behind him and it would be over, then Ji Bu and their more than 35,000 people who were placed a hundred steps in front of the Qin camp would have met the onslaught of the entire Qin army, and it would be a big mess of the layout in advance.

Mei Kai, who was tired of it, was also commanding the bow and crossbow troops to set up an arrow array on the left and right wings, in addition to that, he also had to command bed crossbows, car crossbows, and ballistas, which was really a lot of work.

"The enemy - five hundred paces, four hundred and ninety steps...... Four hundred and fifty steps"

At this time, Mei ordered the ballista to be fired.

The eighteen ballistas made a strange sound of wood rubbing, and it seemed that the wind sound of "huh-" could still be heard, and the round stone projectiles were sent out for about five seconds, and a miserable cry sounded from the Qin army battle array that was trotting close.

The eighteen stone bullets all hit the battle formation of the Qin army, and they smashed out a straight bloody path, killing and injuring at least thirty Qin soldiers before completely losing kinetic energy.

The lethality of the stone bullet is strong, but it is more of a heavy psychological pressure on the enemy, after all, the death of being directly hit by the stone bullet is too desolate, and it is simply smashed and crippled.

Have you ever seen a person who was originally trotting at close range with his head suddenly bursting open, and the red and white squirting scum splashed on the whole body?

Have you ever seen a person running and suddenly turning into two and flying backwards violently, spilling the field and internal organs everywhere?

That miserable appearance, even a veteran of a hundred battles will feel that his feet are weak when he sees it, and although it is also terrifying for the medium and thick crossbow arrows to be strung together by three or five people, it is really a small thing to be hit by a stone bullet.

The hundred generals of the Qin army kept shouting, which was warning and encouraging, and the only goal was to keep running with the Qin soldiers, approaching the enemy army and leaning towards the enemy army during the run, and finally drinking the blood of the enemy army with the weapons in their hands.

The frequency of the projectile is about 30 breaths, which is about two minutes. How much distance can an adult run in two minutes if he doesn't accelerate at full speed? It's about 160 meters, which is about 80 steps.

The Qin army pressed into the left and right flanks, they were attacked by two waves of stone bullets before they approached Lu Zhejun's three hundred and fifty steps, and after entering three hundred and fifty steps, Mei Kai was not polite to them, and about thirty-five single-shot crossbows maintained a firing frequency of ten breaths and began to operate.

Running forward with stone bullets and thick crossbow arrows, many Qin soldiers had become panting because of the fear of their rapid breathing rate, and the sound of robe screams kept coming from their ears, and when they entered the enemy's three hundred paces, the officers at the level of a hundred generals were already shouting "Former enumerated shield-former enumerated shield-", such shouts were accompanied by continuous sound of breaking the air, and brought up dense muffled snorts and screams.

Mei Kai, who commanded the arrow array, was also panting, he was excited, and he was constantly letting thousands of people repeatedly launch the arrow array of "one", and also let the archers enter the state of waiting for shooting. He knew too well what it would be like to face an arrow array with an attack that was not as casualty, and it would be a feast for the crossbowmen to take the lives of the enemy!

In order to maintain enough strength to tear the defensive line, the Qin army could only be in a dense formation, and they had casualties from four hundred and fifty paces, and when they ran into a distance of two hundred steps, they did not know how many robes had fallen, and after entering two hundred steps, the archers of Lu Zhe's army were also releasing arrows.

Arbalest shooting requires a slight adjustment of the crossbow string before archery can shoot arrows.

The frequency of archers shooting was very fast, as fast as three or five thousand archers, as if it was raining down on a torrent of arrows, and the Qin pawns who were running kept being hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and people kept rushing forward from the position of the fallen robe, and there was no longer any officer shouting any orders, and everyone began to speed up their pace and rush forward in silence.

"Rush and kill, kill him, kill them, kill every enemy soldier!"

Someone was shot by an arrow and fell; Someone gets an arrow again, and then falls.

The Qin army was still silent...... (To be continued......)
