Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 383 Lightning Strike ([-])

The sky and the earth are dull, and the sound of horseshoes in the distance is like drumbeats, like water that is about to boil, and the short-term noise before it boils.

The sweltering heat and stickiness in the air seemed to be torn apart by the golden iron horse in an instant, disappearing invisible.

The Qin army swept along the avenue and the fields on both sides like a black tide, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes was transmitted along the ground under their feet
The fear in Shao Lingzhong's heart did not decrease at all. When he faced the legendary Qin army in person, he realized that the fear in his heart became deeper and stronger.

The sense of oppression need not be expressed in words, but is natural, revealed from the opponent's every move, orderly and tacit actions, there is no noise and chaos, only the sound of horns and the neighing of war horses.

The soldiers spread out on the two wings were like a slowly coming tide, advancing side by side, slowly coming towards this side, and more and more surging.

The black tide in the distance is getting closer and closer, along the road and the fields on both sides, the sun is dimmed in the shadows, the stirred soil is full of stench, and the golden spikes are dancing between the horseshoes, like golden fireflies, under the sun Jump and shine.

For a moment, Shao Lingzhong was in a trance. When emotions such as fear, determination, fear, and fearlessness were intertwined in his heart, the five flavors were mixed and difficult to describe, as if his mind was blank.

He saw the iron cavalry of the Qin army galloping across the field ridge, saw the flag of the Qin army fluttering on the avenue, saw the black steel torrent encircling from the two wings, and the cold light reflected from the cold spear and great sword.

He didn't want to admit it in his heart, but he had already made a judgment subconsciously, he couldn't stop it, they couldn't stop it
But he tightly held the reins, pulled the panicked war horse in his crotch, and tightly held the spear in his hand, his feet trembling uncontrollably, fortunately he was on the horseback.

The cavalry in the distance were getting closer and closer. Slowly, he could clearly see the reflective armor and the hideous expressions on the faces of the soldiers of the Qin Army.

The black-clothed cavalry in the distance slowly spread out, forming a middle lag on the long front line, with crescent moons protruding from both wings, and those light cavalry with bows and crossbows galloped forward with superb horsemanship, as if they were going to outflank them from both wings .

Shocked, Shao Lingzhong turned around and wanted to send out his own few cavalry to entangle him, but found that many cavalry had already fled to the rear, and the rest all looked flustered and did not carry out his order.

Soon, there was a roar in the distance, and locust-like arrows soared into the sky, like a black cloud, coming towards this side.

Soon, the sound of tinkling and clanging was endless, and people fell to the ground with arrows one after another, and the crossbowmen in the formation also launched counterattacks, but the light cavalry of the Qin army were like light nightingales. Their counterattacks are very limited.

The high-speed and long-distance horses, the flexible evasion, and the experienced anticipation caused most of the arrows to fail.

The sound of horseshoes in the front is rumbling, and the cavalry wrapped in heavy armor is rushing towards this side along the avenue. The ground shakes, and the rumble of horseshoes makes people feel tight in their chests. Trembling all over, unable to hold on.

The Qin army was still more than 100 steps away from the front, and some people collapsed, dropped the weapons in their hands and ran back without saying a word. Even though Shao Lingzhong was loyal and courageous, he was inexperienced, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation.

The consequence of not dealing with it in time is that more and more people in the phalanx on the avenue couldn't bear the pressure, dropped their weapons and ran back.

At this time, it was too late for him to deal with it, because Qin Jun was approaching.

All the things are really only a few tens of breaths, like lightning and flint, there is no room for thinking and weighing. The instinct and experience of war are the key to Yizhan, and he has none of these.

The imposing Qin army hadn't rushed there, and the hand-to-hand combat hadn't started yet, the periphery of the formation had already collapsed.

Shao Lingzhong had a hunch that they were doomed.
Thinking of his uncle's teachings and his meticulous face, he gritted his teeth, the muscles on his cheeks trembled, and without hesitation leveled the ten-foot-long spear in his hand, pinched the horse's belly, and aimed at the rolling Qin army cavalry rushed over.

No one followed behind him, the main general came out, and the rear became more chaotic in an instant, and then a large number of people couldn't hold on any longer, dropped their weapons and ran back along the avenue, and dispersed in a crowd.The front that had just been condensed collapsed as a whole.

In an instant, the front of the Southern Han Army seemed to be separated into two worlds.

Shao Lingzhong charged forward with a spear in his hand, and behind him a large number of routs ran back. There were routs everywhere on the broad avenue, and the Qin army ahead was surging like a tide.

Shao Lingzhong is like a fallen leaf in the huge waves, he will die at any time without a place to bury him.

Facing thousands of troops alone, he seems to have forgotten his fear, and only thinks in his heart that he deserves to die.

Soon, the torrent of the Qin army hit a lone man and a horse in an instant. The two horses passed by alternately, and the figures were scattered and chaotic. It was only a moment when the horses passed by. The forward elite soldiers of the Qin army did not stop at all. The fleeing Southern Han army.

After the brigade passed, the dust settled and the dead silence returned. Shao Lingzhong's body was half buried in the grass by the roadside, his face sunk into the mud. The loyal horse was licking the blood on his face, as if he wanted to wake up his master.

A terrifying wound opened from his left chest and stretched straight to his shoulder, blood staining the large grass. It was a terrifying wound caused by a spear piercing his chest with a horsepower, which was done by a skilled rider.

The sound of horseshoes in the distance is receding, the shouts of killing are gradually subsiding, and the air between heaven and earth is still dull. Loyalty and courage did not save this young man, but let him die. The soldiers of the Qin Army obviously have more agile and decisive killing skills. It is not an opponent, and the price paid is very heavy.

On the far side of the avenue, the formation of the Southern Han army was quickly defeated. The fleeing Southern Han soldiers were chased and stabbed to death by the Qin army one by one along the avenue, but they fled to the fields on both sides but were hunted down by the light cavalry who had been waiting on the side. It is impossible to run a horse.

The light cavalry on both wings, dragging their long tails, moved outflanking, and the flag slammed violently in the wind, like two long dragons, and soon surrounded most of the Southern Han soldiers on the avenue.

The road behind was also swept across obstacles by the Qin army's iron cavalry, and those who resisted a little were killed one by one on the side of the road, and they were pressing towards the east, encircling them on three sides.

Many people immediately panicked and surrendered on their knees, surrounded by groups in the middle of the avenue.

The Qin army did not continue to kill those who had lost their weapons and armor. This immediately made the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty see the hope of life, and followed suit one after another, throwing away all the guys with a little iron on their hands. Take it off and throw it on the side of the road.

The imaginary frontal conflict did not happen at all. The Qin army didn't even leave anyone to guard the prisoners of war, and ignored those who had lost their armor and armor, and let them flee for their lives. Then they continued eastward along the avenue without stopping.

In the afternoon of the same day, the forward of the Qin army arrived at the post station five miles outside Chenzhou City. The officials and soldiers of the post station escaped.

In the evening of the same day, more than a hundred pioneers of the Qin Army arrived at the foot of the city of Chenzhou, which was under martial law and the city gates were closed. They approached the city wall to observe.

Two days after the war started, the Qin army had already approached the city of Chenzhou!
