Zhao Wu is known as a master of craftsmanship. After listening to Xiang Rong's description, he commented that the bronze weight is heavy, and the too long blade makes the center of the sword move forward. In this way, the weight of the hilt of the sword must be increased and the thickness of the sword blade must be reduced so that the entire sword is balanced and not to be head-heavy. It seems that the Qin people have strong strength and can swing swords with normal weight; the second is that they are tall, so that they will not hurt themselves when they swing the long sword too long; the third is that they have made a breakthrough in bronze casting technology. In this way, they can forge a long bronze sword.

Zhao Wu did not evaluate his own equipment. He inspected the retainers and doctors around him one by one, and then said: In recent years, the results of our military system reform need to be tested by the coalition forces of Chu and Qin. Especially the cavalry tactics, it can be sharpened on the whetstone of Chu, so this time I personally directed the cavalry to fight.

Xiang Rong was a little disappointed: You have only had one army with more power. It is probably only one stalemate to deal with one thousand,500 chariots.

Zhao Wu burst into laughter. Although he laughed heroically, he still ordered slowly and quietly: Zheng and Song would not need to work so much military force. You have to continue to attack Chen and Cai, so you only need to send fifty chariots to follow our army to fight. However, the auxiliary troops still depend on the provisions of your two countries.

Xiang Rong and Zichan agreed repeatedly.

Opposite, the Chu army advanced to Xiao Yu and the Qin army. The two armies were celebrating. When they heard that Zhao Wuzi was coming, King Kang of Chu smiled even more cheerful: I see that Zhao Wuzi is becoming more and more arrogant in middle age. He has begun to underestimate the heroes in the world. After leading an army with more troops, he dares to come to fight me. Let me take a good look at this world's second place who once forced Yang Youji to shoot arrows. What means does he use to fight the north and south? Luck? His luck is used up, and I will end the glory of this famous general.

The military formation of Qin State was different from that of the Central Plains. One hundred chariots were one unit, led by a councillor. There was no senior general who was in charge of the overall situation. This time, Qin State came to the councillor and councillor. The two councillors looked at each other and lowered their heads, maintaining the usual tacit style of the Qin people.

Minggu cooked with chickens, and after the army was defeated, we went up to Zhao Wu.

The Jin army and the Chu army have not fought for more than ten years. With the spread of information in the Spring and Autumn Period, a generation of people did not fight each other and seemed very strange to each other. Only Wu Ju once planned to flee to Jin State, and his footsteps were even close to Hulao, so he knew a little about the situation of Jin State. However, he recently returned to China and did not dare to disturb King Kang of Chu's interest in the face of King Kang of Chu. After the discussion of Chu Jun, Wu Ju retreated and quietly reminded Gongziwei: Young Master, don't underestimate the enemy. In recent years, Zhao Wuzi's reputation has become more and more popular. He dismembered the Wei State and forced Qi State to suppress the entire northern army. I also heard that the cavalry tactics introduced by Zhao Wuzi are becoming more and more mature. Our Chu army has never fought with the cavalry, and the Qin people may have understood the tactics of cavalry. But when they encountered Zhao Wu, the cavalry tactics were not yet mature, and I am afraid they would not understand the current Jin army.

I also heard that Zhao Wuzi reformed his weapons. The people of Jin had already changed their clothes with plate armor and iron weapons. Just seeing Zhao Wuzi bringing six divisions, they came to fight our coalition forces with confidence. I was afraid of the difference between victory and defeat, not as simple as the king thought.

The young master disagreed: I have also heard of the battle between the Jin people and Qi. I heard that Zaan's chariots were used to mount the same front, and pushed forward in a staircase, forcing the cavalry to retreat step by step. The Qi people's sense of combat is far inferior to our Chu, and the number of chariots we brought farther than that of Duke Zhuang of Qi. It was our victory. No matter how difficult the process was, I had no doubt about victory.

After the young master said that, he threw away Wu Ju and said goodbye without looking back.

Wu Ju murmured to himself behind the young master: I think about victory too, but will things be that simple

In the next three days, the Qin and Chu army moved their huge bodies and advanced deeply into the Song State with great momentum. At the same time, the Song people were vowing to resist to the death along the line, while Zhao Wu led the reinforcements to meet them calmly.

At noon that day, a brigade of Zhao cavalry rushed through a deserted village and had just walked out of the entrance of the village. Several cavalrymen of the vanguard, Li Xuan, blew a shrill whistle, and they encountered the Chu army Qianya Army head-on. The two teams were close enough to see the hair on each other's faces clearly.

Both are great powers and warriors who have fought for hundreds of years. The tactical qualities of both Jin and Chu sides are almost equal. At the same time, the Jin people and the Chu people draw out their weapons at the same time. Because they are too close to each other, the bows and arrows on both sides are not as good as the long weapons of the bows and long weapons, so the two teams began to fiercely fight each other.

The swordsman of the Zhao soldier was silver, and the leading scout was Rong Qiu's tribal soldiers. The sword in their hands was actually a sabre, but the word "sword" had not appeared in Chunqiu, so the weapons in their hands were habitually called swords. This sword was full of the style of nomad people, with a curved blade and a bronze hilt of a sheep and horse head cast in bronze. The head of the sheep and horse was cast in exaggerated and large in shape, just as it acts as a pillow.

The Zhao soldiers slashed down with silver sabers, while the Chu people waved the gorgeous bronze swords to fight.

The swords of the Chu people were cast very exquisitely. The climate in the south was humid. In order to prevent rust, the Heliocentrism Bu was covered with colorful layers according to the romantic personality of the Chu people. The picture was well measured, and the gorgeous patterns were modern research shows that this gorgeous pattern was actually the earliest anti-rust coating in the world.

The Chu army's sword was slightly shorter, the blade was about forty centimeters long, and the hilt was round. The pillow of the sword at the end seemed to be a pounding garlic pestle, thick and fierce, and could be used as a hammer if necessary.

When the two swords intersect, most of the Chu swords stabbed out. The Jin soldiers on the opposite side did not dodge. They strengthened their strength and chopped down with a more fierce and faster degree. At the critical moment of life and death, many Chu people subconsciously twisted their bodies, but they still insisted on stabbing the sword. Seeing that the sword was about to stab the Jin people, suddenly, a sharp pain came. With a squeak, the Jin people's sword cut the iron armor of the Chu people like a layer of thin paper, and the blade was deeply embedded into the Chu people's body.

Zhao Bing's sword has a blade of 75 cm long and a hilt of about 20 cm. It is thirty centimeters longer than the Chu sword. Therefore, most of the Chu people's swords were chopped to the ground before they stabbed the Jin people.

There were also lucky Chu people. Most of them were nobles. They were quick and powerful martial arts to cross the gap in their weapons. They took the lead in blocking the Jin people with their swords, and the two swords intersected. With a sound of locks, the Chu people subconsciously turned their wrists and prepared to stab the sword in their hands. However, they found that their swords were lighter in their hands, and their swords were cut off by the Jin people, without exception.

This group of Chu warriors from the martial arts group can complete two actions in a single slash by the Jin people, first blocking and then stabbing, but due to the gap in weapons, their second tactical action was invalid. The Jin people who cut off the Chu people's weapons continued to swing their swords regardless of the silly heads and silly continued to swing their swords.

In one encounter, the Jin people who met in close contact fell down all the Chu troops they encountered, without any casualties.

According to the Hu people's habit, this infantry team jumped off the horse and happily moved up the Chu people's armor, searching for the Chu people's broken weapons everywhere, and talking excitedly: They are all good things. The weapons of these people are all bronze. Although they are broken, after they are melted, they will make some household appliances, which is quite good. Hehe, I have made some money.

The tribal cavalry leaders urged repeatedly: hurry up, and the smoke and dust gather behind them but do not disperse, which means that the Chu army's large army is coming. Hurry up, and after packing up, hurry back to the city.

At this time of speaking, the Chu army's large army had already appeared, and the one who was Ziqiang.

Fortunately, the vanguard of the Chu army was surrounded by Ziqiang, who was cautious in character, rather than impulsive young masters. When Ziqiang saw a team of Jin light cavalry without armor, wandering around the Qianmao Army's chariots with no armor. Countless corpses of Chu State and three overturned chariots were scattered underground. Ziqiang waved his hand and ordered his troops to stop moving forward: bows and arrows. Archers came up and prepared to shoot. Ziqiang hesitated, and the Jin soldiers on the opposite side did not care about collecting spoils. With a loud whistle, the Jin people turned over and passed through the village with the cover of the village, and disappeared from Ziqiang's vision.

As the smoke subsided, Ziqiang drove to the village, looked at the corpses of Chu people everywhere, and flew the air conditioner: When one met, most of the soldiers had no signs of fighting, and only one of the two sides fought. When they met, all of our army's front-lines were killed. No wonder Zhao Wu dared to bring six divisions to fight. What kind of tigers and wolves were hesitating.

While he was feeling, the search team of Chu army had searched the village and rushed to report: Young Master, this village was abandoned by the Song people. The wells in the village had been filled with landfills and all the stoves were flattened. No grain was found in the village. The roofs of many houses had been burned, but there were also some abandoned houses. The roofs were fine, and people could live in it.

Ziqiang turned around and looked and ordered: Our troops moved forward and then advanced to the front of the village. He started camping with his back against the village. At the same time, he sent someone to sort out the intact houses in the village and invited the king to move in, telling the king: Qianmao had already encountered the pioneer of the Jin army.

Ziqiang's judgment was correct. Not long before his army advanced to the village, his entire vision was filled with the troops of the Jin people. The formation of the Jin people was three formations. The central army was the main army of Jin with huge troops. On the left and right wings of the Jin people, there were 50 chariots of Song and Zheng respectively.

Ziqiang ordered the troops to take charge, and then looked at the Jin team, sighing: The people in Jin are very powerful.

Ziqiang is also known as Gongziqiang. He is one of the descendants of Zhaoziyun. His descendants took Qiang as their surname and became the ancestor of Qiang.

As the ancestor of the Qiang family, Ziqiang's style was not strong. Facing the Jin army, he only organized people to cover the small village behind him and sorted out the rooms in the village for the King of Chu to live, but he did not expect that he would encounter the soldiers of the Rongqiu tribe.

The soldiers of the Rongqiu tribe were different from the Jin army. The Jin army had fought for hundreds of years, and those who did not abide by military discipline were killed as targets of punishment. Those who could survive until now were some warriors who abide by the strict military rules of the Jin State. Therefore, the awareness of the Jin people to maintain order is deeply rooted in the bone marrow and into the genes.

The Rong Qiu people lived nomadic and settled for decades. The habit of moving skills everywhere brought them a straightforward personality. The vast grassland made them more unrestrained in their personalities. The Rong Qiu people have been accustomed to not staying here since they were young, so they were not used to abide by the military discipline of the Jin people.

To put it another way, it is: Rong Qiu people come from

The vanguard of Rong Qiu did not suffer any losses just now, but the number of enemies was huge. They took a little advantage and began to retreat. At this moment, Ziqiang slowly sorted out the queue, and the large army of Rong Qiu people also arrived. Several Rong Qiu officers gathered together and muttered, feeling that it was too embarrassing to retreat before the war, especially in the case of increasing reinforcements on the ground.

None of the Rong Qiu people present were at peace. After they discussed it, none of them remembered to notify the Hou Army. Several officers talked about their respective plans, and then returned to their own team and began to organize the queue. At this time, Ziqiang was confused.

The follower realized that Rong Qiuren was abnormal. He approached Ziqiang and reminded him carefully: Lord, Rong Qiuren is sorting out the queue, and it seems to be a charge.

Ziqiang glanced at the other party casually and was immediately shocked: the chariot was ordered to drive forward, and we were in front of us, and the people of Jin were about to attack.

After Ziqiang issued the order, he added puzzledly: Why did this group of Jin fight in the same way as the Wu people do not say hello and move forward without saying hello? They are also the overlords of the Central Plains.

It was too late, and the chariots were slowly driving. Most of the chariots were towed by cattle in this era. This was mainly because the axle system of the chariots was not up to standard, and the chariots needed to consume a lot of kinetic energy from static to dynamic. Before the chariots of the Chu army had time to move, the Rong soldiers on the opposite side had already started running. They were making strange screams and shrill whistles, with two as a single one, and each twenty-five people formed a small team. The twenty-five cavalry in the head roar waved their long halberds in their hands, making strange screams and rushing towards the Chu army fiercely.

Shooting, fast shooting

How did the word "top" come from

The front of the Chu army was all outstanding. Although they didn't have time to line up and to fight, most of the soldiers of the forefront still opened their bows. Although the movements were not neat, the shooting sounds were still crackling, so that messy bows and arrows were flying all over the sky, and the sky was filled with the sound of arrows flying.

The cavalry of Jin on the opposite side rushed into range, and the officer shouted: Put the spear flat.

With this command, the spears of the cavalry of Jin State were placed horizontally from vertical to the sky.

The first group of attacks were the light cavalry. They were probably scouts in the Jin army. They had almost no armor piercings and only had a very small copper plate on their chests. The shield they held in the left hand was not much larger than a narrow pot lid. The shield was in a triangular trapezoidal shape, and the cavalry on the horse covered their faces with shields, and the rest were basically exposed.

A rain of arrows fell, and Jin officials shouted, and several soldiers were caught in arrows. Their bodies were shaking for a while, but they still insisted on completing the tactical movement of turning, and then they had an arrow shaft inserted into their bodies. As the dog troops made a ninety-degree turn in front of the Chu army formation, they turned around and ran towards the formation.

Ziqiang felt very depressed. Why did the Chu army's arrows clearly hit the soldiers of Jin State, but they still continued to run with the arrows.

Without letting him figure out the reason, the second group of Jin soldiers began to attack.

This group of soldiers in Jin State dressed much better. Most people wore plate-shaped breastplates, copper hoops on their forearms, and still held a long triangle wedge-shaped shield in their left hand, but their shields were raised obliquely above the horse's head. These people all wore faces and armor. There were only two on their faces. It was deep and empty, and most of them had facial armors imitated the shape of monsters and monsters, with green faces and fangs, which were very terrifying. The quality of the front-line army was very high, especially the soldiers on the chariot. Before Ziqiang could give orders, the soldiers on the chariot had already set their bows and arrows and shot quickly. Their shooting was very accurate, and they deserved to be the country where Yang Youji was located.

The feather arrow locked in the chestplate of the Jin soldiers, and the arrow pierced in. The Jin soldiers, as if they were unaware of anything, continued to use their shield to block the arrow rod that shot towards the horse's head. Then, two or three arrows shot on the soldiers' breastplate. These arrows were not lucky. The arrow jumped on the chestplate and fell weakly to the ground. At the same time, as the running bumps, the arrows that were originally inserted into the chestplate fell off one by one.

Several arrows shot towards the faces of the soldiers in Jin State. The soldiers on the opposite side waved their sabers and kept digging the flying arrows. A fish that escaped the net rushed to the soldier's face. The soldier subconsciously lowered his head. With a lock, the arrow jumped on his helmet and fell to the ground. The soldier's figure shook immediately and then sat firmly again.

The third wave of soldiers rushed over, and the Chu army was still fighting back. The first three waves of Jin soldiers adopted the same strategy. When they hit the range, they began to turn ninety degrees, galloped horizontally for a distance, and then turned around and escaped from the range.

The fourth wave of Jin soldiers began to attack. At this time, the Chu army's arrows were shot very few, and most of the soldiers had no strength to open their bows. They used their bow tools to hit the ground, bent over, and gasped violently in fatigue. Many soldiers' right fingers were covered in blood, which was cut by the bowstring.

Ziqiang felt something was wrong, so he quickly turned around and ran to the village, shouting: "Clog up, block them. Don't let them rush into the village."

Before Ziqiang ran a few steps, he heard the buzzing horse hooves getting closer, followed by violent metal impacts, screams and groans for help. After he led the Chu army, the front line was already in chaos.
