Chapter 36 Confrontation (I)
Everyone's eyes gathered, and their expressions revealed admiration, the king of Zhao once again created a miracle, and the people gathered in the city to hold all kinds of weapons, including many old and weak figures, fighting with their lives for their homes.
Bai Ying nodded, "The meaning of the king Bai Ying understands, if the Qin army returns, he will simply fight!" β
"Fight to the death!"
The Zhao army's camp kept changing its formation, sometimes approaching and sometimes moving away, the scolding was even more harsh, the Qin army general's face was full of anger, and the two of them slapped their horses forward, "My lord, the last general is willing to lead his troops into battle." β
Lu Buwei glanced at it, both of them were brave and good generals, who usually led the elite dead guards of the Qin army, and peeked at it, the camp of the Zhao army changed again, "Round, fan-shaped!" Sortie! β
The fan-shaped array was transformed into an arc-shaped array, which was also the closest position of the Zhao army to the Qin army's camp, and the two of them had to order to run out quickly, and thousands of light horsemen on both sides were ready, urging the horses to kill one after another.
The Qin army quickly counterattacked, the purpose was very clear, to defeat this hateful Zhao army and then occupy Handan, the weapon in his hand stabbed the back of the war horse, the left hand pulled hard, the war horse was in pain and galloped wildly, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the Qin army was known for its speed.
"General, look!"
The personal soldier pointed with his hand, and the figure of the cavalry of the Qin army appeared in the smoke and dust, "Damn, Lao Tzu didn't look for you, you came by yourself." β
"General, come on."
"The last fart, it's all for Lao Tzu to return."
"Retreat?"
"Carry out military orders!"
The order was issued to quickly close the formation, and the cavalry of the Zhao army turned their horses and retreated, and the two generals of the Qin army saw it, "Quick, decide not to let the Zhao people run away!" β
The Qin army's light cavalry accelerated again, almost reaching the maximum speed that the war horse could bear, but seeing that the horse's back was full of scars left by the blows of weapons, and the skin and flesh turned out was shocking.
Mu Chen turned his horse's head, and the cavalry on both sides entered the city gate in turn, and the shouting and killing behind him was getting closer and closer, the previous formation was just as Lu Buwei expected to transform into an arc, and it was expanded in turn, which could react quickly, and the only drawback was that the camp was scattered and wanted to gather quickly, which took time compared to other formations.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Mu Chen roared angrily, his broad-bladed sword was raised, and nearly a thousand cavalry spears were raised behind him, facing the light cavalry of Qin with more than several times the strength of his own, everyone's expressions were more fearless and calm.
"Shoot!"
On the city wall, the marksman battalion used almost all the remaining bows and crossbows, and as archers, they usually regarded the bows and crossbows as life, holding them in front of them, staring, and destroying an opponent with an arrow.
Whoosh, the sound of arrows breaking through the air came out, the speed of the Qin army's light cavalry was amazing, and most of them did not wear armor, and every time they rushed to kill with a mortal heart, the arrows shot down all over the sky, and the Qin army was killed one after another, and the war horses moved forward, carrying the dead corpses forward.
"Points!"
Mu Chen's broadsword waved, the camp quickly divided left and right, the middle camp attacked the most urgently, and the cavalry was also killed by arrows, the screams of people were mixed with the neighing of war horses, and the war horses that lost control crashed into the city wall and fell to the ground.
"Hey!"
The cavalry on both sides quickly fought back, the guards launched strong crossbows, the Qin army's light cavalry suffered countless casualties, and the camp was also in chaos, and the general pulled away an arrow, "Attack!" β
The Qin army's light cavalry launched again, rushing through the range of the Zhao army's bow and crossbow, the distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, the number of Qin army's light cavalry was close to eight thousand, and the cavalry led by Mu Chen was no more than a thousand.
"Rush!"
Mu Chen took the lead in killing, dancing the broadsword and directly killing the position of the main general of the Qin army on the left, the broadsword wheel opened left and right, and the Qin army camp turned over on his back, and the soldiers behind him followed, although the number was small, each brave, and the spear in his hand was opened and smashed.
"Attack the gates!"
The generals on the right saw that the left camp could trap this Zhao cavalry to death, and the city gate of the Zhao army slowly closed and simply launched an offensive.
Dao Dao's figure rushed straight to the city gate of Handan, and more than a dozen infantry at the city gate tried to close the city gate, but the speed was still a step slower, and the Qin army's light cavalry approached and stabbed out with the spear of the superior horse, and the infantry defending the city were killed one after another.
The scuffle at the city gate Lu Buwei saw it in his eyes, and laughed when he saw the light cavalry controlling the city gate, "Zhao Kuo, this time you will definitely die!" After saying that, he turned the horse's head, and the formation of the Chinese army also changed, although the offensive of the Zhao army on the periphery was fierce, it was impossible to conquer the Qin army's defense for a while, and LΓΌ Buwei's move had only one purpose, Handan.
The Chinese army advanced rapidly, Mu Chen killed the rise, and most of the personal soldiers behind him were intercepted by the Qin army and fell into a bitter battle, the broadsword killed several people one after another, and the bloody broadsword was raised above his head and screamed in his mouth, "Take your life." β
Two people flashed behind the general on the left, judging from the armor on their bodies, they must not be ordinary soldiers, one left and one right straight to take Mu Chen, a good Mu Chen, the broadsword was opened, and one enemy and two one-arm forces blocked the opponent's double spears, roared outward, and the two figures leaned back and took out the sword, one sword slashed through the neck of one person, and the other person was just about to change the broadsword and had already attacked the front, pressing down with both hands, trying to block the opponent's broadsword with the power of both hands.
Mu Chen's wrist exerted force, the broadsword struck upward, and with a poof, the tip of the sword pierced into the trend, and the corpse fell off the horse with a scream.
"That's amazing!" The commander of the Qin army let out an exclamation, and the two deputy generals were killed in an instant, and then it looked like the man was burly, waving a bloody broadsword in his hand, and his mouth opened to develop a strange scream like the reincarnation of an evil god.
Mu Chen rushed closer, the broadsword went straight to the opponent's main general to chop, the sword is light and agile, mainly to split and stab, the sword used by Mu Chen is a broadsword, which is closer to the knife in comparison, the main general of the Qin army will shake the spear to meet it, and the martial arts strength of the main general will be extraordinary, the spear is on the broadsword, a loud noise came out, and the two of them were shocked.
"A little strength, take Grandpa Mu's move again!"
Mu Chen became more and more excited, he was defending the city on weekdays, how could he compare it with what he was looking for, how fast the horse raised his sword, one sword after another slashed out in a row, the main general of the Qin army secretly complained bitterly, his arms were sore for a while, and the other party smashed like an iron, if he didn't pick up, he would only lose a way, so he had no choice but to fight hard.
LΓΌ Buwei led the Chinese army to rush straight to the city of Handan, Zhao Kuo shook his body and jumped down from the city wall, and the city gate was captured by the Qin army's light cavalry.
"King, all the soldiers and the people are ready!"
Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, "The national crisis is at the head, Qin is strong and seized, and when life and death are at stake, you should fight to the death with your flesh and blood!" β
"Fight to the death."
"Rush!"
The order was issued, and the black devil elite took the lead in killing, but seeing that the whole body was black, the armor on the body was almost completely wrapped in the body, and the war horse under the crotch was also neatly draped.
"The Zhao people are attacking."
"Don't be afraid, there are less than 10,000 defenders in Handan City, and they will attack Handan."
Zhao Kuo sneered, the cavalry rushed out one after another, and the black demon clan was in front of the camp, like a sharp knife directly rushing into the Qin army's camp, just like a slight crack appeared in the middle of a complete boulder, and the crack slowly extended outward, and finally shattered one day.
"It's Zhao Kuo!"
Someone with sharp eyes recognized at a glance that the person holding a sword in the Zhao army's camp was Zhao Kuo, the king of Zhao State, the person who had previously killed Wu Anjun Bai Qi.
"Kill Zhao Kuo to avenge the king."
"Revenge."
A group of cavalry rushed straight to Zhao Kuo's camp, and it could be judged from the words that it must be deployed in white, with spears raised at the same time, the left and right black devil elites quickly combined, the long sword shook, the sword light flashed, and the cavalry of the attacking Qin army could not approach at all.
The shouting and killing continued, the Zhao people swarmed out at the city gate, and the main general of the Qin army on the right couldn't help but be stunned, all the Zhao people in front of him, wearing different clothes on their bodies, and the weapons in their hands were even different, and they all came out of the city gate, facing the elite of the Qin army without any fear.
"Impossible!"
The Zhao army in Handan City launched a counterattack, the Qin army's light cavalry camp retreated, and the generals on the left barely maintained, what happened at the city gate is unknown, once distracted, he will inevitably die under the opponent's sword.
The generals on the right shook their heads again and again, and more and more Zhao troops poured out from the city gate, 10,000, 20,000, like a flood bursting the embankment.
A figure approached, the long sword emitted a dazzling light, the light flashed, and the calmness and majesty that flashed on his face were impossible to face, "Zhao Kuo!" β
The voice fell, and the sword light directly submerged into the body, and the man raised his head, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, "Zhao Kuo, I just hate that I can't kill you with my own hands to avenge the king." β
