I'm playing tricks in Daqin

The wilderness is full of fleeing Tang soldiers, and the Qin army is chasing after them. At this time, Tang Bing hated his parents for losing both legs, so he could only run desperately. In order to run fast, he threw away all his weapons and armor. , The clever one got into the woods and escaped, while the slow one simply knelt down and raised his hands in surrender.

The fleeing Tang soldiers became more scattered as they fled, and fewer and fewer people fled. Zhuo Fengxing led the army to pursue unhurriedly behind. This is also one of the huge differences between veterans who have experienced many battles and recruits who are on the battlefield for the first time.

The [-] burly soldiers of the trapped camp did not wear battle armor or carry Mo Dao. They squeezed together, rode in the ox carts and carriages requisitioned overnight, and followed behind the team at a leisurely pace.

There are also thousands of horse carts, ox carts and donkey carts carrying their thick and heavy armor and swords. If the cavalry does not participate in the battle, the trapped camp will be the main force to defeat the Tang army who besieged the city. Throw yourself into the decisive battle.

At the end of the team are still a large number of horse-drawn carts and ox carts. This is the logistics team and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion. They not only carry a large amount of military supplies such as arrows, grain and grass, but also carry a hundred heavy Thunderbolt chariots and a group of soldiers. Hundreds of thunder chariots, these heavy weapons are also important weapons that determine the outcome of the great battle.

In order for Xia Houfu to regain his confidence, Zhuo Fengxing allocated as many elite soldiers and heavy weapons as possible to him. There was no room for any mistakes in this battle, and Xia Houfu was forced to the edge of a cliff.

The army camped overnight, and more than 7000 soldiers who descended from the dangerous road in Wushan returned to the army behind. His headquarters, plus the 5000 Shenji Battalion, excluding the 5000 auxiliary soldiers in charge of logistics, he has a total of 2000 soldiers.

Early the next morning, the army set off from the camp and advanced towards Pingtang Pass. After marching for more than two hours, the army arrived at an open field, and there was no return for some nights. The Tang camp was in front, only about five miles away from here.

Xia Houfu glanced at Pingtang in the distance, and turned his head to look at the surrounding terrain. The terrain here is wide and suitable for the army to form a decisive battle. He immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, and the soldiers formed an array on the spot, waiting for the Tang army to come out of the camp for a decisive battle.

Outside Pingtang Pass, Tangying.

As a large number of defeated soldiers fled back, the three generals of the Zhenguan knew that Zhao County had fallen and the news of the defeat of [-] reinforcements. The three of them were taken aback.

Yebu received a quick report, the number of Qin troops chasing was up to [-] people, this information immediately made the three generals of the town go into a rage, and immediately ordered people to drag the defeated generals out and cut them down, and then assembled the army of the three counties to kill them. After leaving the barracks, he aggressively killed the Qin army three or four miles away.

The combined army of the three counties has nearly 12 people. They attacked the city for more than ten days. Although they lost nearly 4 people in the battle, they still have 1 troops. The three generals each left [-] people to guard the barracks. soldier.

Fifty thousand against twenty thousand, and the Qin army had just fought a battle and had been chasing for dozens of miles. They were already exhausted. With an absolute advantage in troops, there were still advantages to take advantage of, and the incompetent would miss such a good opportunity.

When the three generals arrived with their troops, they saw that the Qin army had already set up their formations, and immediately ordered them to stop advancing and set up formations to meet the enemy.

Once the formation was in order, the three of them impatiently gave the order to attack.

The terrain here is mostly small hills, which are not suitable for cavalry combat. Therefore, both sides are all infantry, and they directly form a large formation of three front, middle and rear, and the two wings are avoided.

The battle drums in the Tang army's formation rumbled, and the first large square formation of the former army slowly moved forward, with heavy steps that shook the ground.

This is an orthodox positional warfare, and it is also a head-to-head war of attrition. It depends on who can't hold it first. Therefore, the several large square formations of the former army are all composed of elite soldiers.

In the large formation of the Qin Army's Central Army, Xia Houfu stood on a soil slope, pointing forward with the long sword in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Go forward!"

Following his order, the first phalanx of the former army also slowly moved forward, the soldiers walked in unison, and the sound of rumbling footsteps shook the mountains.

However, the Qin army's phalanx stopped after advancing twenty steps forward. It was completely defensive, and it could also be said to be a sign of weakness.

The three generals at the gate couldn't help grinning, and ordered the front line to speed up the advance, and the whole army followed slowly to keep the lineup in line.

The earth-shattering rumble of war drums sounded faster and faster, and the soldiers of the Tang army let out roars and killing sounds, with high fighting spirit, and the speed of the whole army's advance was obviously accelerated.

Chapter 2 Eighty Battle 2

[-] against [-], the Tang army has an overwhelming advantage in numbers. Not only the three generals who guard the pass can't close their mouths with smiles, but even the ordinary soldiers are happy. In their eyes, the [-] Qin soldiers are fish. Belly, I'm here to send them military exploits.

The earth-shattering rumble of war drums became more and more intense, and the speed of the Tang army's advance became faster and faster. The two sides had not yet contacted, and the roar of killing had already resounded through the sky.

The momentum of the Qin army seemed to be taken away, and the first phalanx advancing forward slowly retreated, which made the morale of the Tang army even higher.

"Eighty steps...sixty steps...fifty steps...thirty steps, launch!"

Following the officer's order, the archers of the Tang army took the lead in shooting a dense rain of arrows, completely covering the first square formation of the Qin army.

The soldiers of the Qin Army squatted down together, forming a huge protective barrier with a large shield. The rain of arrows scattered all over the sky was either bounced off or broken. Some unlucky soldiers were hit by arrows, but they missed the vital parts. He was dragged into the protective formation by his companions to avoid the rain of arrows.

All the soldiers in the first phalanx squatted down, immediately revealing a hundred Thunder chariots erected behind them in three rows.

"First row, launch!"

With the roar of the officer, there was a rattling sound of the machine spring, and the giant arrow with the thickness of the arm roared out. The terrifying impact force smashed the shield and tore the soldier's body. The shield pierced through the chest and abdomen of the soldiers, and then smashed through the large shields in the third row and penetrated into the soldiers' bodies, causing the soldiers in the fourth row to wobble and stand unsteadily.

"Second row, launch!"

"Third row, launch!"

Hundreds of Thunder Chariots lined up in three rows and fired one after another. The huge arrows with thick arms smashed into the shields, tore apart the soldiers' bodies, and tore apart the Tang Army's first dense phalanx like a violent storm.

Witnessing what happened in front of them, all the Tang soldiers, including the three generals who guarded the pass, opened their mouths wide open. Isn't it too terrifying to be so lethal?

The surviving soldiers in the first phalanx stared dumbfounded at the broken shields and shattered corpses everywhere in front of them. They suddenly shivered tremblingly, let out a scream of fear, turned around and retreated, and ran away. They had been killed. The terrifying lethality of the Thunder Chariot frightened him.

"Beat the drum, go forward!"

Xia Houfu, who was sitting in the middle army formation, pointed forward with his long sword and gave the order to attack.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers in the first phalanx of the Qin Army stood up again and advanced forward with uniform steps. The middle and rear troops also slowly pressed forward. All the soldiers roared loudly, and thousands of voices gathered and resounded through the sky.

"Welcome!"

The faces of the three generals at the gate were all pale, and they were all overwhelmed by the terrifying lethality of the Thunder Chariot. But at this time, if the order to retreat was given, the entire army would surely collapse. The army was mixed together, and the Qin army threw a mouse, and the thunder chariot lost its power.

Although the power of the Thunder Chariot is terrifying, but the launch speed is very slow, only slightly faster than the Thunderbolt Chariot launching the rock. The whole army quickly overwhelmed the melee. They still had an overwhelming advantage in numbers. There is an [-]% chance of winning.

Although Tang Jun was frightened by the terrifying lethality of the Thunder Chariot, but the military order was like a mountain, and those who retreated were beheaded, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward.

The advancing Qin soldiers repeated the old plan. The soldiers in the first phalanx stopped advancing and all squatted down. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion behind them pulled the springs as quickly as possible, loaded the giant arrows and fired.

The three consecutive shots tore the Tang soldiers and shields in the front into pieces, spraying blood mist all over the sky. However, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and the Thunder Chariot also lost the opportunity to shoot flat.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion adjusted the firing angle, loaded the giant arrows, and pulled the trigger to launch. The whistling giant arrows tore apart the Tang soldiers rushing one by one, but the power of the upward shooting was obviously not as good as the flat shooting.

It was only a three-stage shot, and the soldiers of both sides finally came into contact. First, there was the sound of iron shields colliding, and the screams were accompanied by blood mist spraying all over the sky. The soldiers of both sides gathered more and more densely into a ball. The soldiers in the first row were pushed by their companions behind them, so they could only fight forward and fight until they fell to the ground.

This kind of traditional positional battle is the consumption of soldiers' morale and numbers, but it is impossible to tell the winner in a short period of time, and it can only be stalemate.

On the battlefield, soldiers from both sides fought bloody battles. The sound of rumbling drums was mixed with the sound of roaring and killing. The sky was full of dense arrows, sometimes mixed with giant arrows as thick as arms, covering the scorching sun into darkness.

The formation of the Qin army's central army suddenly changed, and the two teams of soldiers broke away from the formation, forming an attacking cone-shaped battle formation, and advancing forward.

Neither side had cavalry to guard the two wings of the formation, so they had to use infantry to attack. The 4000 soldiers who were trapped in the camp were the ones who attacked, and the other 1000 people were placed in the middle of the front army formation, in case the front army formation was breached by the Tang army, which had an absolute superiority. .

The soldiers of the trapped camp advanced very slowly, but their steps were uniform. The sound of rumbling footsteps shook the ground, and the heavy and sharp Mo Dao shone coldly under the sunlight, shocking people.

"Qin Jun's coach must be a lunatic."

Some of the three generals who guarded the pass screamed strangely. When the troops were at an absolute disadvantage, they dared to take the initiative to attack without taking the defensive position. What is it if they are not crazy?

The two conical battle formations of the Qin army advanced very slowly, and they had enough time to deal with them calmly. Soon, the four phalanxes broke away from the main formation, and advanced from the left and right wings to meet the crushing two Qin troops. Army cone battle formation.

A phalanx has 5000 people, and two phalanxes on each side, that is, 1 people. With 2000 people attacking the Qin army with about [-] people, it has an absolute advantage in numbers. Perhaps today's battle will end soon. General Dazhenguan believes that the battle on the two wings is the key to victory.

The soldiers on both wings were advancing. Although they hadn't reached zero distance yet, they were within the range of their bows and arrows. The Tang Army's archers shot the first wave of arrows, covering the advancing Qin Army. However, they didn't see it. When the blood bloomed, no one could be seen falling down from the arrow.

The soldiers trapped in the camp are all wearing thick and sturdy heavy armor. Even their faces have special iron shields, only a pair of eyes are exposed. Broken, a little spark burst out.

Immediately afterwards, the second wave and the third wave of arrows rained down, which still did not cause any damage to the slowly advancing Qin army, which made the soldiers of the Tang army feel fearful. This is some kind of steel monster, not even afraid of bows and arrows.

Knowing that the bows and arrows would not cause substantial damage to the group of steel monsters crushing oncoming, Tang Jun's archers still shot desperately, not so much out of deterrence, but out of instinctive fear.

"kill!"

With the sound of roaring and killing, the soldiers on both sides finally collided fiercely. The high-raised Mo Dao slashed down with a gloomy cold light, the shield was shattered, blood mist was sprayed, and limbs were separated.

The soldiers trapped in the camp were like a torrent of steel, chiseling into the dense phalanx of the Tang army at once, and crushing forward like chopping waves.

Chapter 281 Battle 3

The heavy and sharp Mo Dao in the hands of the soldiers trapped in the camp was like splitting tofu. It easily split the shield of the Tang army, the armor of the body, and split the man in half.

When Tang Jun's iron sword cut on the thick and solid armor, in addition to making an ear-piercing sound and bursting out a spark, it would at most leave a small dent on the surface of the armor, which would not hurt the tight armor. The body wrapped inside, how to fight this battle?

It was a one-sided carnage.

The conical attack formation of the soldiers trapped in the camp was like an extremely sharp steel knife, cutting into the dense square formation of the Tang army at once, squeezing forward bit by bit, and as the soldiers pushed and crowded in, the Tang army The dense defensive phalanx was slowly widened bit by bit.

On the left-wing battlefield, Xia Houba, as a captain, naturally acted as the spike of the cone-shaped attack formation. He rushed to the front, holding the heavy Mo Dao tightly with both hands, and slashed wildly. He was extremely fierce, and there was no opponent under the sword .

His ferocity and valor made all the Tang soldiers in front of him feel fear, and retreated desperately, but the companions behind him pushed forward desperately, pushing each of his comrades to Xiahouba's front, and then he was beaten by him Cut it in half with a knife.

"kill!"

Every time Xia Houba knocked down a Tang soldier, he let out a roar, and his comrades behind him responded. The deafening roar inspired the fighting spirit of all the soldiers and frightened the enemy.

Xiahouba is like a god of death, the Mo Dao in his palm has harvested countless fresh lives, the black battle armor is covered with blood, and he has turned into a blood man. A frighteningly strange red glow.

The camp is the elite of the elite infantry of the Qin Empire, and the treatment is better than that of ordinary low-level officers, which makes countless soldiers envious. It is nicknamed the second loser army in the Qin Empire army. The first is naturally three riders per person, extravagant The ultimate tiger and leopard cavalry.

The trapped camp is the trump card in the infantry, and it has the enviable supreme glory. Once on the battlefield, soldiers can only advance, not retreat. Only by dying on the way forward can they be worthy of the three glorious camps. name.

Of course, the heavy-armored infantry with high protection ability is by no means ordinary infantry, and even light cavalry cannot resist. Cracked the defense line of the Tang army, and destroyed the fighting spirit of the Tang army.

Xiahouba slashed wildly, and any Tang soldiers who dared to block his advance were cut in half with a single knife.

With just time to catch his breath, he then led his men forward to attack Tang Jun's second defensive phalanx.

The Tang army in the second defensive phalanx did not expect that the attack of the trapped camp was so fierce and the combat power was so terrifying, and the first dense defensive phalanx was defeated so quickly. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have met in front of them? In this head-to-head decisive battle, a phalanx of 5000 people was defeated in a short breath?

Not allowing them to have too much time to think about this issue, the soldiers of the two sides collided violently again, the swords were shining, the screams were endless, the blood mist was sprayed, and the limbs were thrown away, forming a scene of a partial battlefield.

The soldiers trapped in the camp were equipped with invulnerable defensive armor and unrivaledly sharp Mo Dao. The rapid defeat of the first defensive phalanx made the Tang soldiers in the second defensive phalanx tremble with fear, and their fighting spirit quickly declined.

The Tang army has [-] people and has an overwhelming advantage in terms of military strength, but most of them are recruits who have just been conscripted into the army for the first time, and most of the elite veterans are devoted to the frontal battlefield. There are not many veterans, most of them are arranged in the first defensive square, and the second defensive square is almost all recruits except for officers.

These recruits witnessed the merciless massacre of their comrades by the Qin soldiers, and they were already terrified. Facing the invulnerable Qin army's heavy armor, their fighting spirit quickly declined. Finally someone broke down.

Some terrified recruits cried and threw away the weapons in their hands, and desperately squeezed away the densely packed companions, trying to escape.

In the army, especially in the decisive battle of thousands of troops, morale is sometimes like a plague, which can quickly infect the entire army. If someone starts, someone will follow, and then more people will follow, which will lead to the whole army. The army collapsed.

The officers in charge shouted desperately, and even killed a dozen deserters, but they couldn't suppress more soldiers from fleeing, and they even rushed to their own central army formation, surrounded by the fleeing crowd.

Xia Houba didn't expect Tang Jun's second defensive phalanx to collapse so quickly, and he couldn't help letting out a long howl full of excitement and fighting spirit.

"Brothers, meritorious service is at this moment, follow me and kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

All the officers and soldiers responded with loud voices, the voice cracked the sky, the momentum was unmatched, and it captured the hearts of the people.

The soldiers trapped in the camp marched towards the left flank of the Tang army's former army with rumbling steps. They adjusted their formation during the advance, and soon formed the original cone-shaped attack formation.

On the right wing, the 2000 soldiers of the trapped camp also destroyed the two defensive phalanxes of the Tang army, and crushed towards the right wing of the former army of the Tang army.

In the large formation of the Tang army, the three generals at the gate were pale and bloodless. They thought they could defeat the Qin army with their overwhelming strength, but they did not expect that the two small conical battle formations of the Qin army were so powerful. , Destroyed the phalanx with five times the strength of its own troops, and was crushing the two wings of the forward army.

If the two wings of the advancing front army are attacked violently, they will surely collapse. They hurriedly ordered two dense defensive square formations to stop them. Let's talk next.

The heavy armor equipped by the camp was extremely protective, but because it was too heavy, the advancing speed of the soldiers was also greatly affected, and was soon stopped by the two phalanxes of the Tang army.

Xia Houba ignored the Tang army's phalanx that was pressing in front of him, and ordered one to stop the enemy. He himself led a group of soldiers to leave the headquarters and continue to advance towards the flank of the Tang army's front army. His intention is very obvious. I just want to hit your front army's flank. .

This is a conspiracy that everyone knows is put on the table, but it insists that you can't do anything about it. The three generals of the Tang Army who guard the pass are not slow to respond, and there are no mistakes in command, but the heavy armor defense of the soldiers trapped in the camp The ability is too great, just use 1000 people to block the attack of 5000 Tang troops, don't try to break through this impregnable defense line in a short time.

The fierce battle on the two wings was seen by the soldiers on both sides. The speed at which the two large defensive formations of the Tang army collapsed was jaw-dropping. The morale of the soldiers of the Qin army was greatly boosted, while the Tang army was affected to a certain extent.

"Fire the arrow, fire the arrow."

The officers in the front of the Tang army kept urging and ordered the archers to shoot the enemy with arrows.

The two teams of heavy-armored soldiers advanced steadily despite the locust-like rain of arrows. The rain of arrows did not cause any damage to the soldiers in the trapped camp, making Tang Bing tremble with fear. What is this extremely steel monster?

They couldn't allow them to have too much time to think about this issue. After three waves of arrow rain, the soldiers trapped in the camp finally approached and hit the two wings of the Tang army's front phalanx hard.

Chapter 282 Victory

The heavy armor protection of the camp, the rules are solid, the heavy and sharp Mo Dao can smash any creatures and metals in front of it, and the attack can destroy the dead, sweeping thousands of troops, two teams of heavy armor cut into the large defensive square in front of the Tang army like waves and waves , continue to crush and push forward fiercely and mercilessly to deeper depths.

Faced with this invincible and invulnerable steel monster, even elite veterans who have experienced many battles can't help but feel a sense of despair. You can't hurt your opponent, but your opponent can slaughter as much as you want. How can you fight this battle?

The former army phalanx, which was under fierce attack on three sides, only resisted for a while, and finally collapsed when the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and fell to freezing point.

The officers screamed desperately, and even hacked and killed the deserters, but they could no longer control the broken soldiers who were already trembling with fear and fleeing desperately.

With the earth-shattering rumble of war drums as close as raindrops, the soldiers of the trapped camp on the two wings of the Qin army and the former army advanced at the same time. Instead of chasing and killing the fleeing soldiers, they rushed to the Tang army's central army. Only with a large formation of the Chinese army can it be regarded as a victory, and the siege of Pingtangguan can be solved.

"Hold on, hold on."

In the large formation of the Tang army's central army, the officers shouted desperately to suppress the restless soldiers. Several large square formations collapsed one after another, which greatly shocked all the Tang soldiers.

"kill!"

The fast-advancing front army first slammed into the Tang army's central army formation, first there was the sound of a large shield colliding violently, followed by a sharp flash of dazzling cold light, and the screaming sound was accompanied by a spray of blood mist , The soldiers of both sides huddled together and fell into a stalemate again.

The soldiers of the trapped camp were still advancing slowly, like a rain of locust arrows falling one after another, and the sound of jingling jingled together, leaving only a small white spot on the thick and sturdy iron armor.
