Zhong Sun Qi was one of the first teams to follow the plateau, and after several years of experience, he was now the chief general of the legion, but he independently commanded a battle, even if it was only a local battle, it was the first time for him.

Although Li Yinghong personally came to the position to supervise the battle, he did not take over the command, and the supreme commander of the defensive position was still himself, so if he held the position and defeated the enemy's attack, then he would be able to get the first credit, so Zhong Sunqi was naturally very excited and excited, and at the same time made up his mind that he must defend the position, not only can not let the enemy attack the position, but also win the beautiful.

At this time, Zhong Sun Qi stood on the command platform, condescending, and saw the movements of the Qin army very clearly. Seeing that the enemy army was divided into two groups, the Qin army was in front, with a shield on its head, and the Qi army was behind, pushing vehicles of various sizes, and the two teams were separated by a distance of about 100 steps, Zhong Sun Qi immediately understood that the enemy wanted to use the Qin army as a containment, so that the Qi army could arrange long-range weapons such as trebuchets and bed crossbows in front of the formation to attack their positions.

So Zhong Sun Qi immediately ordered the lightning strike vehicle to be modified with a hundred catties of large stones, ready to attack the long-range weapons behind the Qin army, and at the same time ordered the bed crossbows, trebuchets and other weapons in the position to prepare to start attacking, because at this time, the Qin army in the front row was about to enter the range of such long-range weapons.

At this time, in the position outside Xicheng, plus the bed crossbows and trebuchets brought by Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu, there were a total of one hundred and fifty trebuchets and one hundred and twenty bed crossbows, all of which had already been prepared, just waiting for the order of the main general, so after Zhong Sun Qi gave the order, all kinds of trebuchets and bed crossbows started one after another, and the stones and crossbow guns were like raindrops, and they were fired towards the Qin army.

If the previous strike of the lightning truck was only a deterrent nature, and the actual lethality was very limited, then now all the trebuchets, bed crossbows and other weapons in the position are fully fired, and the casualties of the Qin army have also increased dramatically. Moreover, the long-range weapons of the Han and Qin coalition forces were not all fired together, but were divided into three batches and fired in turns, so that although the strike effect of a single batch was weakened, it could form a continuous blow, so the crossbow guns and stones were continuously fired down on the Qin army.

Although the Qin army is equipped with a shield, the shield still has a certain defensive power against small stones under 20 catties, but at this time, the trebuchets in the position are all large stones of 50 catties or less, which is not something that the shield can defend, as long as it is hit by a stone, the shield will be shattered silently, and the soldiers under the shield will be smashed into a blur of flesh and blood; Not to mention the crossbow gun, the shield was like papier-mâché, and it was worn along with the soldiers behind the shield, so almost every moment the Qin soldiers were knocked down and shot to death.

However, despite the heavy blows and heavy casualties inflicted on the Qin army, and even the neat array began to become a little scattered, the Qin army still pushed forward with great determination, and no one stopped or flinched. On the one hand, this is because the criminal law of the Qin State is strict and the military law is strict, and the Qin army is always brave and good at fighting, so when it comes to the battlefield, everyone is brave and not afraid of death; On the other hand, before the war, the Qin soldiers were told that if they did not fight hard, their families would be affected; At the same time, of course, there are also heavy rewards and incentives promised by Wang Ben.

As a result, under the stimulation of these factors, the Qin army did show the demeanor of a strong army, although there were constantly people who were worn through the body by crossbow guns, smashed by stones, broken bones, and broken heads, but no one escaped, and even many Qin soldiers simply threw away their shields, anyway, it was useless to hold the shields, it was better to throw them away and travel lightly, braving crossbow guns and stones, and pushing forward with all their might.

And the Qi army, who was following behind the Qin army and pushing various long-range weapons, was also frightened at this time, because they were less than a hundred steps away from the Qin army, so the blows suffered by the Qin army could also be seen very clearly. Originally, these soldiers of the Qi army were still a little unconvinced, why let the Qin army fight the first battle, and they could only do the hard work of pushing carts and pulling carts, we were no worse than the Qin army.

It turned out that when the Three Kingdoms combined to attack Qin, the Qi army trained with the Han army for a few months, and the combat effectiveness was significantly improved, and later followed the Han army to fight a few battles with the Qin army in Daliang, so they did not fall behind, so many Qi soldiers began to feel good about themselves, thinking that the Qin army was just like that, except for being a little weaker in actual combat experience, other places were similar to the Qin army. But on today's battlefield, it is only the Qi army that really knows what it means to be a strong army.

Because under the blows of lightning strike cars, bed crossbows, and trebuchets, the Qin army, which only had a shield defense, had no power to resist, and life and death could only be resigned to fate, but in this way, the Qin army still moved forward without fear, as if it was not afraid of death, and couldn't help but move the soldiers of the Qi army, and many people asked themselves, if they changed themselves in the array in front, could they still insist on moving forward?

And at this moment, I only heard someone exclaim: "Everyone hide, the stone is coming, ......"

Before the words fell, only a "woo" sound, a stone the size of a foot basin fell obliquely from the sky, and was smashing into the array of the Qi army, two Qi soldiers were hit by the stone, and immediately fell to the ground and died, and the castration of the stone was not endless, and it bounced and rolled out several zhang away on the ground, killing six or seven soldiers in a row before stopping.

Before the Qi army could react, a few more big stones fell from the air, except for a stone that happened to hit a bed crossbow, and immediately smashed the bed crossbow bed, and the other stones were all smashed into the array of the Qi army, some stones hit the Qi soldiers, and some stones did not hit the Qi soldiers in the first time, but they bounced and rolled after landing, and still injured many people. It turns out that these stones have been simply polished, the edges and corners are gone, and the shape is close to spherical, so they will not stop immediately after landing, but will bounce and roll forward for several zhang, and some can even advance more than ten zhang, and the Qi soldiers on the route of the stone rolling forward are naturally not spared, almost every stone will kill and injure several people.

This is exactly the lightning strike vehicle of the Han army, all of which have replaced the hundred-pound boulders to hit the Qi army array behind the Qin army. Moreover, at this time, the eight lightning trucks brought by Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu were also assembled, so there were a total of sixteen lightning trucks, each in four batches taking turns to throw stones. Although only four stones can be projected each time, it can make up for the shortcomings of the lightning strike vehicle for a long time each projection, forming a series of blows, and as a result, a hundred catties of boulders fell into the array of the Qi army one after another, and the Qi soldiers were also smashed to countless deaths.

At this time, the gap between the Qi army and the Qin army was reflected, maybe on the frontal battlefield, the Qi army may not be much worse than the Qin army, but in the face of such a completely unfavorable environment, the Qin army was able to remain still, but the Qi army immediately became chaotic, some soldiers scattered and dodged, and some soldiers threw down their bed crossbows and trebuchets and fled backwards.

But the fleeing Qi soldiers did not run a few steps away, only to find that there was a group of Qin troops about a hundred steps behind them, and they were lined up, each holding a spear and crossbow arrows, and when they saw the Qi soldiers who fled backwards, they first shot them with crossbow arrows, and if there were Qi soldiers who escaped by chance, there were pikemen who stepped forward to assassinate them. In a short time, he killed dozens of Qi soldiers who escaped from the battle.

The Qin general, who was the leader, said loudly: "General Wang has an order, whoever escapes from the battle, is afraid of the battle, regardless of the Qin Qi soldiers, will be executed on the spot, and will never be forgiven, and then there are escapees, they are examples." ”

It turns out that Wang Ben knows very well, don't look at the current Qi army does have some progress, it looks like the frame is good, and it can resist for a while, but compared with the Qin and Han armies, it is still far away, and there are still some strong army demeanors when fighting a tailwind battle, and once it encounters a headwind battle, it is often unable to withstand it, and it is easy to collapse in this battle, so it can't expect too much from them, so the supervision team was arranged behind the Qi army, which was to guard the Qi army from escaping.

This time the Qi army was shocked, and some of the Qi soldiers immediately turned back into the array and continued to push the cart forward, but there were still many who turned around, and the Qi soldiers who were about to flee just stopped, but they were unwilling to turn around and go back to continue to move forward, so they hesitated, and there were about a hundred people.

And the Qin general said: "You go back immediately and continue to move forward, otherwise you will be guilty of the same crime as the fugitive." As he spoke, he commanded the Qin army to gradually move forward.

At this moment, I saw a large stone fall from the sky, smashed a large crater in the ground, and then bounced to the ground, rolled forward, and crashed into the array of the Qin army, knocking down the two Qin soldiers.

But the other Qin soldiers did not move, and someone immediately came up from behind, filling the gap formed by the lack of two people, and continued to advance steadily. And when the Qi soldiers who were about to flee saw it, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, and they had no choice but to turn around and move forward.

In the main formation of the Qin-Qi coalition army, Lu Xiuhong's face also changed greatly, he spent a lot of time in the Qi army as Zhong Xuanxiao, and he also saw the Han army teach the Qi army training, as well as the battles that the Qi army participated in when they were in Daliang City, and usually listened to some plateau talks about the way of using soldiers, Lu Xiuhong consciously learned a lot from it, plus Lu Xiuhong has also seen a lot of the art of war, and what he has seen and heard corroborates each other, and he also feels good, and even has a feeling that the art of war is nothing more than that. thinks that if you lead the army by yourself, it will not be worse than the plateau.

And this battle also made Lu Xiuhong understand that whether it was himself or the Qi army, they were still far behind, and the real strong army in a hundred battles could not be refined by months of training and a few battles. It can also be seen from this that the Qin army has nearly a hundred years of accumulation, and the Han army on the plateau, even if it is counted from the initial generation army, is less than ten years, and it can form a powerful army that can compete with the Qin army head-on. Although it is said that there is a foundation laid by Li Mu in this, it is indeed formed by Gao Yuan.

Therefore, Lu Xiuhong thought again, if it weren't for Han Teng subduing Wang Ben and getting such a famous general and hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, would he still be able to defeat the plateau with only the soldiers of Qi Chu?
