"Woo~buzz!"

A deep horn sounded, and Zhao Kuo stood in the chariot. With a wave of his sword, he ordered the messengers to blow the horn of charge.

Generals at all levels heard the horn sound and quickly conveyed the order to charge.

Zhao Guojing took the lead on horseback and charged towards the Qin army's defense line on the west mountain ridge. While charging, he picked up the crossbow on his horse and shot at the Qin army in front.

The guard general of the Qin Army, the vanguard general Ying Gong, stood on top of the built barrier. Looking at the incomparably brave Zhao cavalry, Ying Gong waved his hand and said, "Shoot the Zhao cavalry! Shoot the arrows!"

On the fortress wall, rows of Qin army crossbowmen were ready to go. After hearing the general's order, they loaded their bows and walked quickly to the city wall, aiming at the sky in the distance and releasing arrows.

"Shh! Shh!"

Thousands of arrows were fired together, and arrows rained down like rain.

It should be noted that on the battlefield, the crossbowmen's bows and arrows are not aimed at people, but concentrated and long-range shots in a certain direction. What depends not on the accuracy of the crossbow, but on luck.

Only when the number of opponents is small and the distance is extremely close, will they aim and shoot accurately.

Because productivity was low in ancient times and wars broke out frequently, it was impossible for the army to train all its soldiers into marksmen who could penetrate the enemy with a hundred steps.

Moreover, the distance of a hundred steps is only 50 meters. Even a pistol in the current army can only shoot accurately at a distance of about 50 meters.

Not to mention the ancient crossbowmen, in order to maximize the combat capabilities of the crossbowmen, they all fired in a unified long-distance cluster.

With more arrows, you can achieve the effect of killing a large area, and you don't need to aim. You only need to shoot the bow and arrow towards the sky with all your strength, so that the shooting distance will be longer.

Rows of Qin army crossbowmen came forward, rounds of arrows covering the ground, and Zhao's elite cavalry were gradually decreasing.

"kill!"

Zhao Jun's elite cavalry continued to charge forward while controlling their horses to avoid arrows.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jun's shield soldiers followed closely, raising their shields high to defend the Chang Ge soldiers and Halberdiers behind from arrows fired from a distance.

Behind these infantry, there are siege vehicles, catapults, and crossbow vehicles.

Zhao's soldiers quickly moved the scaffolding, quickly loaded the crossbow carts and catapults, and put in thick metal arrows and stones.

The front end of the metal arrow was wrapped in burlap, and the burlap was wrapped in animal fat and kerosene. A soldier raised a torch to light the burlap, and then shot the metal arrow out.

The flaming metal arrows pierced the sky like broom stars. After a loud roar, they hit the Qin army's defensive barriers. The kerosene and animal fats splashed out and ignited the nearby area.

The Qin army organized soldiers to put out the fire with earth and rocks, and also used crossbow carts on the city wall to fight back.

The role of catapults in siege warfare was even greater. The stones were also wrapped in coarse linen, doused with grease and kerosene, lit and then projected out. When the stones fell to the ground, there was a loud noise and split into pieces instantly. Scattered stones and "fire sources" were scattered everywhere.

The killing area is more terrifying than the fire arrows of a ballista!

"Ah!" The soldiers of the Qin army were hit by the split stones. The kerosene and grease attached to the stones instantly ignited the clothes of the soldiers of the Qin army. The soldiers took off their leather armor and rolled on the ground, trying to Put out the flames on you.

Such a tragic situation not only happened on the side of the Qin army, but also on the side of the Zhao army.

The battlefield is a meat grinding ground!

The most valuable thing on the battlefield is human life.

The elite cavalry of the Zhao army were still charging forward. As long as the general had not given the order to retreat, they were the vanguard. Looking at the Qin army that was closed and unable to leave the city, the vanguard general Zhao Sheng had a look of pain on his face.

Cavalry is naturally most advantageous in charging on the plains. Now used to charge into the city, it is really overqualified and suffers huge losses.

But such sacrifices are necessary. In order to become famous in one battle, General Zhao Kuo naturally wanted to conquer the Qin Army's Xishan Ridge Barrier in one go.

It was also to delay the main force of the Qin army and prevent the Qin army from mobilizing a large army to go back to rescue Bai Qi.

Suddenly there was a trembling sound of the earth in the distance. Zhao Sheng looked sideways and saw dust flying in the distance, and a "Zhao" flag written in Zhao Guo's seal script rushed from a distance.

This team was the five thousand elite cavalry led by Su Can. At this time, the five thousand elite cavalry turned into more than 2000 elite cavalry, which was reduced by half.

Su Can led more than 2000 fine cavalry and went straight to the place where Zhao Kuo was, and returned to Zhao Kuo to hand over the head of "Bai Qi".

"Report to the general, fortunately, we have fulfilled our orders and have retrieved Qin General Bai Qi's head. I hope the general will take a look at it!"

After General Zhao Tuo dismounted, he opened the wooden box containing Bai Qi's head, took the linen bundle, walked to Zhao Kuo's chariot, and opened the linen bundle.

When Zhao Kuo saw Bai Qi's head, he burst into laughter and said, "Inform the three armies that Qin General Bai Qi has been beheaded, and do your best to publicize this matter."

The reason why Zhao Kuo wanted to send an order to the three armies was, firstly, to boost the morale of the Zhao army, and secondly, to pass the news to the vanguard general Ying Gong, the defender of Xishan Ridge, and ask Ying Gong to open the city and surrender.

Su Can was shocked when he saw so many corpses on the battlefield. When he killed 4000 people by himself before, he only had time to fight his way out.

Now he is watching from a distance, clearly seeing the situation on the battlefield.

Looking at the soldiers covered with arrows, looking at the corpses burned by kerosene, and looking at the stumps that were torn apart by metal crossbow arrows, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in my heart.

The battle continued for another hour. This hour, more corpses appeared on the battlefield, and General Zhao Kuo gave an order to withdraw his troops.

This battle lasted from morning to afternoon. The soldiers, who had been exhausted for a day, dragged their sleepy bodies. At this time, they just wanted to have a good sleep.

But they also know that after such a high-load battle, they must repair their equipment and have a good meal before they have the strength to continue fighting the enemy the next day and try to save a small life in the next battle.

After hearing Ming Jin's order to retreat, the soldiers on both sides returned to their camps to find a place to rest, but Su Can walked towards the battlefield alone.

He wants to use the bronze lamp to refine the souls of these innocent people who died on the battlefield, so that they can achieve bliss as soon as possible.

Of course, these are all high-sounding reasons. He just wanted to collect pure soul energy and practice "Ten Thousand Royal Divided Souls".

He randomly found a spot in the central area of ​​the battlefield, lit the bronze lamp in front of him, then crossed his legs and closed his eyes, using the 32 spiritual bodies in the sea of ​​consciousness to run the "Ten Thousand Royal Divided Souls" with all his strength.

Originally, the 32 spiritual bodies had no bonus to the cultivation of "Ten Thousand Royal Divided Souls", but the soul energy on the battlefield at this moment was too huge.

The two armies faced each other for a day, leaving behind tens of thousands of corpses. The refining speed of the bronze lamp had reached its extreme, but it could not quickly refine all the wronged souls.

This majestic soul energy was obviously unable to be absorbed by one of Su Can's spiritual bodies. 32 spiritual bodies absorbed it at the same time, and the speed was incredible.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, 32 spiritual bodies are vibrating at the same time, and there are huge waves in the sea of ​​consciousness. Each wave is higher than the other, and each wave is stronger than the last wave.

The waves surged, constantly impacting the spiritual bodies in the sky. With the impact of this majestic soul energy, the 32 spiritual bodies rapidly transformed.

The 32 spiritual bodies trembled continuously and gradually formed 32 phantoms. This was the precursor of the breakthrough of "Ten Thousand Royal Divided Souls".

The 32 phantoms kept shaking, splitting into 64 illusory figures, followed by 64 illusory figures, like a python shedding its skin.

In just a few hours, his spiritual body completely transformed from 32 paths to 64 paths.

The 64 split spiritual bodies seemed a bit illusory when they split on the first day.

As more and more soul energy is refined in the bronze cup, and more soul energy is breathed between the noses, the "Ten Thousand Soul Dividing Souls" technique is running faster and faster, and the 64 spiritual bodies are quickly solidified. Completely stabilized the realm of cultivation.

Although the speed of spiritual power cultivation seems to have become faster, compared with the cultivation of soul power, it still seems slow.

His soul power is already at the level of a great soul master, but his mental power has only reached the late stage of the second level of "Ten Thousand Royal Divided Souls", which is still two major realms away from soul power cultivation.

With such a good training environment, Su Can naturally wants to work hard to continue to improve his mental power, at least to stabilize his mental power at the mid-third level.

While Su Can was still refining his soul on the battlefield, General Zhao Tuo had already found General Zhao Kuo.

in the army tent.

"Report to the general, the general has doubts about Bai Qi's head." Zhao Tuo, the general, knelt down on one knee.

General Zhao Kuo had a proud look on his face. The Zhao army could be said to have won a great victory, and they took off the head of Qin general Bai Qi. Naturally, there was laughter and joy, but General Zhao Tuo was a little disappointed.

Hearing Zhao Tuo's words, Zhao Kuo's expression changed, "What's the doubt? Isn't this the head you accompanied Mr. Su to chop off? Don't you yourself know whether it's true or false?"

"Reporting to the general, this head was indeed brought back by the last general, but the head was cut off by Mr. Su, and..." General Zhao Tuo hesitated, hesitating to speak.

Zhao Kuo looked unhappy and snorted coldly, "What exactly do you want to say? Why can't you say it? But it doesn't matter!"

Zhao Tuo, the general, had a look of fear on his face, "That's how it is. The general will follow Mr. Su all the way to the Lord's Mansion of Light Wolf City. Mr. Su asked the general to lead others to wait outside. He went in alone. The general did not dare to forget the general's orders. , I wanted to go in with Master Su, but Master Su refused..."

General Bi Zhao Tuo told Zhao Kuo exactly what he saw and heard along the way and waited for Zhao Kuo's judgment.

"From what you said, do you suspect Master Su of killing a fake Bai Qi?"

"Reporting back to the general, I don't dare to doubt Mr. Su, I just stated the doubts in my heart." Zhao Tuo defended hurriedly.

"Hmph! You don't dare? If you don't dare, why do you say this?" Zhao Kuo's face was furious, and the tea in his hand suddenly became tasteless.

The subtext is, since you don't dare to ask Su Can, why are you telling me? Do you want me to question Su Can?

This is sometimes the case, some people are just stubborn. Since Su Can said that Bai Qi was dead, he naturally asked Bai Qi to remain anonymous and would not let Bai Qi appear openly again.

Zhao Kuo did not have to kill Bai Qi. What he wanted was victory in the Battle of Changping. Then he was a man with a record, and he was also a man who defeated Qin's generation of famous generals.

As soon as he said this doubtful point, he was trying to sow discord between him and Su Can. He would feel a thorn in his heart, and Su Can would feel slapped in the face.
