Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 214 The World is One and the Battle on the Western Front (Fifteen)
At dawn, Zhao Jun was awakened by the sound of loud chants. Zhao Jun soldiers rushed to the edge of the camp without caring about washing up, only to see many huge black shadows moving slowly towards Zhao Jun's camp in the distance.The black shadow was tall and big, it could be called a colossus, and its visibility was not high. The soldiers of Zhao Jun couldn't see it clearly. They thought it was a magical monster, and they were quite shocked.

After a while, the visibility got better and the shadows got closer. Sima Shang finally saw clearly that these shadows were huge trebuchets.For this kind of trebuchet, Sima Shang had never seen it before, so he didn't recognize it at all, so he had to wait and see what happened.

The sound of the chant came from the mouths of the soldiers of the Qin army pushing the catapult. These soldiers tried their best to push the catapult forward.Not long after, the trebuchets stopped, one after the other, lined up neatly, like a beast that wanted to choose someone to devour.

The king of Qin led Zhou Chong, Wei Liao, and Meng Wu to come, jumped off the horse, held the whip in his hand, strode to the catapult, stroked the catapult, and said: "Mr. Zhou used this sharp weapon to attack Xinzheng that day. Today, This sharp weapon will show its power again, let the war end here, and let the blood of Zhao Jun soldiers stain this land. Let's start!"

"Load the soil!" The small school waved the flag and ordered, and the loaders packed the soil one by one into the bucket.

"Launch!" The school ordered again, the soldiers knocked down the supporting wooden pillars, and the boulder fell, only to hear the sound of piercing through the air, and the bags of soil were like arrows leaving the string, drawing a beautiful arc, straight to the ground. Fall towards Haogou.

The King of Qin spent a lot of money and built no less than a thousand trebuchets. When they were fired together, thousands of bags of soil were shot. There are pieces of red water splashes.The reason why the water in Haogou is red is because the blood flowed into it during the war a few days ago.

"Don't stop, keep shooting!" King Qin said with great satisfaction: "I don't believe that even a small ditch can't be filled evenly."

A few days ago, Qin Jun paid a heavy price and failed to fill up the Haogou. For Qin Jun, this Haogou was an invisible pressure. Unexpectedly, a lot of soil bags were thrown down in just one round of shooting. Given time, it doesn't take much, at most one day's work, the Haogou will be filled up. At that time, all you need to do is shout "kill" and rush up, and everything will be over.Thinking of the wonderful ending, Qin Jun's morale was greatly boosted, and he was full of energy. Even if the King of Qin didn't give an order, he would know what to do.

Looking at the splashing water, the generals of the Zhao army couldn't understand it. One general muttered: "What is the King of Qin going to do? Just relying on this sparse soil bag to fill up the Haogou, it's a whimsical idea."

Sima Shang glared at him, and said: "One hour is not enough, half a day, one day, two days is hard to say."

Another general said in shock: "King Qin is really ruthless, if there is no Haogou, how can we resist? General, think of a way quickly, we can't let them succeed."

Of course Sima Shang knew that the consequences would be serious, but he had no choice but to watch Qin Jun fill up the Haogou bit by bit.

"General, please allow the general to fight, and the general promises to destroy that monster." A general asked for a fight.

Sima Shang shook his head slowly, and said: "You can see clearly, the King of Qin has dispatched so many troops there to protect them, and these soldiers include many Liannu soldiers. The firepower of Liannu is too fierce, and we will suffer a lot. If we leave In the camp, we have no choice but to be slaughtered."

"Then what should we do? We can't just watch the Qin people fill up our Haogou." The generals were very unconvinced.

Sima Shang said helplessly: "That's the only way. If you want to fight, you should prepare for the final battle. If you don't want to fight, run for your life. There is still time. Everything will end today!"

He is resourceful and resourceful, his judgment is so pessimistic, the problem is naturally very serious, the generals said in awe: "General, what do you say, even if we are going to die, we will die together. General, don't worry, we are not cowards, we are good men, Never lose the dignity of our Zhao country!"

"That's good, let's prepare!" Sima Shang reassured.

The trebuchets were launched endlessly, and in the afternoon, a trench more than ten feet wide was filled up.Sima Shang thought that the Qin army would attack immediately, so he drew his sword out of its sheath and shouted, "Fight to the end!"

The soldiers followed him and shouted "Fight to the end", the sound shook the sky.

However, things did not progress as he had imagined. The Qin army did not attack immediately, but moved the trebuchet forward a little and continued to fire.This time, the target of the trebuchet was not Haogou, but Zhao Jun's stockade.The earth bags kept coming down, many of them hit the fences. Although the fences were solid, the earth bags fell from the sky with a lot of force. After a while, the fences that were attacked were all in pieces.

On the way of retreat, Zhao Jun suddenly turned to defense. To build a camp, the price paid was much higher than normal. It can be said that this camp was bought with the blood of the soldiers, and every stake had to pay a price. Unexpectedly It was broken so easily by Qin Jun, Sima Shang was heartbroken.

In less than half an hour, the fence with a width of more than ten feet was useless, and the Qin army's offensive path was completely opened, and Zhao's last line of defense no longer existed.

Qin Wangfei got on his horse, drew his sword out of its sheath abruptly, pointed forward, and ordered: "If you are far away, shoot with a crossbow! When you are close, fight to the death! If they want to fight bloody to the end, the widow will accompany them to the end! Go forward!"

"I will accompany you to the end! I will accompany you to the end!" The soldiers of the Qin army shouted, and lined up in battle formation to press down on the Zhao army, and they would soon pass Haogou and approach the Zhaizha.

"Fight to the end!" Sima Shang yelled, waving his long sword.Behind him, the roar of a bloody battle resounded through the sky.

According to Sima Shang's thinking, the gap is not wide, and it is completely possible to fight a crowd tactic to keep the Qin army out.His thoughts were also the thoughts of the generals. The generals led their soldiers into the gap, and for a while, the gap was crowded with people, like a sea tide.

It was the most effective method at that time to use the crowd tactics to push Qin Jun out, and then wait for an opportunity to repair the fence. The King of Qin had figured it out a long time ago, so he sent Liannu to go ahead.There was a sound of piercing through the air, and countless sharp arrows flew straight towards Zhao Jun. Many Zhao Jun's arrows fell down in unison, as if a pile of straw had been pushed down by someone.

With only one round of arrow rain, a large gap was suddenly vacated in the gap that was originally full of people.

After the Qin army approached, they stopped advancing, and only shot fiercely with their crossbows.This is a very clever tactic. If the two armies fight together at the beginning of the close combat, the power of the crossbow will not be able to be used. It is better to shoot and kill enough first.

After paying a high price, Sima Shang finally understood that the tactics of fighting against a sea of ​​people would not work at all, so he had to evacuate the gap.King Qin gave an order, and the Qin army flooded into Zhao Jun's camp like a tide, and the final battle began.
