Chapter 63

The King of Qin resolutely said: "General Sima, I am kind to persuade you, but you don't appreciate it. Then I have nothing to worry about, so I will use the blood of the soldiers of the two armies to flood the land." He suddenly drew his sword out of the sheath and roared: "Attack!"

The Qin army shouted "attack" in unison, holding weapons, rushed over like a tide.

The captured King Zhao was, in the minds of the soldiers, today will be the last battle. The desire for victory has made the soldiers feel passionate. This war is like letting the tiger out of the siege, and it is better than the tiger in the South Mountain.

Sima Shang waved his hand, and the archer stood up, stretched out an arrow from the hole in the village, aiming at the Qin army.

Sima Shang did not immediately order the arrows to be fired until the Qin army was very close. It was not until the Qin army rushed to the edge of the Haogou that he ordered "Release!" The archers loosened their hands and fired thousands of arrows at the same time, as if raindrops were fired straight towards the Qin army. Many Qin soldiers were caught arrows and fell to the ground.

The one who was very excited even fell into the ditch, causing waves, which looked very beautiful.

The Qin army was so excited that they could not scare a rain of arrows. The one in front fell down and the one behind rushed over without stopping. The shield in his hand came forward, forming a shield wall, and advancing towards Zhaoying.

"Rocket preparation." Sima Shang ordered that the Zhao army archers immediately ignite the rocket and roll the arrow.

Sima Shang ordered: "Shoot up to the sky! Let it go!"

The arrows in the Zhao army's archers pointed to the sky at a forty-five degrees and shot them in one go. The arrows first shot into the sky for a distance before falling down. The power became much greater and they shot straight towards the Qin army.

The Qin army's shield was raised and formed a dense shield array to block the Zhao army's arrows. The sound of dong dong was heard, and the Qin army's shield was filled with arrows. During the Warring States Period, due to the manufacturing level, the shield was not pure iron.

It was mainly made of wooden, with rockets stuck in the shield and it quickly started to burn.

Modern ballistics has proved that the range of upward shooting forty-five degrees is the longest. Sima Shang is a good general and is very smart. He would not only use upward shooting forty-five degrees, and constantly command archers to change angles and shoot rockets. The Qin army knew that the shield was about to catch fire.

There is no choice, and I have to use a shield to resist it.

A spectacular and strange scene appeared in front of the two armies, and countless Qin troops held a fired shield and advanced forward. Based on time, the Qin army could rush to the edge of the Haogou before the shield lost its effect, which was quickly verified.

However, another problem arose, that is, the trench was dug wide and deep, and was very close to the Zhao army's camp, which made it easier for the Zhao army to shoot and kill the Qin army.

The Zhao army is a well-trained army. He knew what to do without Sima Shang's order. The archers bent their bows and arched their arrows, and did not use rockets. They changed to vertical shooting to flat shooting, and found room to start. Since the Wuling King shot the cavalry in Hu clothing.

The people of Zhao State are better at riding and archery than other countries. The archers' archery skills are very good. At such close range, they are even more like fish in water.

One shot was accurate, and the Qin army was shot in a few arrows, and they fell down one by one, just like a straw.

Since Shang Yang's reforms, the people of Qin advocated bravery and bravery in public wars. In addition, they have never been to the battlefield for years in the Warring States Period. The men of Qin may only have children or naturally disabled people.

The Qin soldiers had gone to the battlefield for countless years. They had rich experience in the battlefield and were not afraid at all. They used a crossbow to shoot at the Zhao army.

The crossbow is known for its long continuous shooting ability and strong firepower. Unfortunately, the Zhao army has a support for the village. Most of the arrows are shot on the wooden gate, and only a small part is shot in. The lethality is limited. Only a few unlucky Zhao army were caught in the arrow.

The Zhao army had a stronghold to support the village, and was in a favorable position. He only shot arrows and never left the camp, and shot countless Qin troops. The Qin army was extremely brave, fell down one wave, and the other wave went up again.

Not long after, a thick layer of corpses floated in the ditch, red and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

"Your Majesty, this is not a solution, you have to think of another plan." Wang Jian suggested to the King of Qin.

The King of Qin nodded and said, "I think so too. General Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang Jian thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have not thought of good strategies yet."

The King of Qin asked Meng Wu and said, "Where is General Meng?"

Meng Wu thought, "Your Majesty, I think the biggest difficulty is not the Zhao army's arrows, but the fuge. If the fuge can be filled up, the problem will be much easier."

The King of Qin sighed: "This is Lian Po's approach during the Battle of Changping. He used a gutter to block the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops. If King Zhao had not been trapped and used Zhao Kuo, who could only talk about war on paper, the outcome of the Battle of Changping would be unpredictable.

Although General Lian Po passed away, his legacy is still there. Today, his legacy has stumped me. Mr. Liaozi, what can you do to cross this fog?"

Wei Liao smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Liaozi thought he could fill it with soil."

One word woke up the dreamer. The King of Qin slapped the high-five and said, "Good idea. Wang Jian, you go and send an order immediately to ask the soldiers to get the soil and put it in a bag. If there is no bag, wrap it in clothes. Take the soil, rush to the edge of the ditch, and throw it into the ditch.

I want to see if it is water coming to the soil or the soil coming to the flooding!”

This is indeed a wonderful method to cross the Haogou, and Wang Jian happily took the order and left.

"Stop the attack and wait until the land is taken." The King of Qin met Meng Wudao.

Meng Wu received the order and sent the order to continue. The Qin army was waiting for the enemy in a strong battle and stopped attacking.

The Zhao army was unable to understand the actions of the Qin army for a while, and a general asked in confusion: "General, what do the tyrant Qin want to do?"

Sima Shang didn't understand this question, and said, "No matter what he does, if he dares to come, he can shoot arrows for me. If he guards the camp, he will win."

Less than a cup of tea, the Qin army reorganized its formation and launched a new round of ground offensive. This time, the Qin army did not charge, but lined up in an orderly battle formation, with each hand on a shield and slowly moving forward.

Although the Qin army advanced slowly, it gave people a feeling of invincibility. The generals of the Zhao army couldn't help but pressed the hilt of the sword, and became nervous for no reason.

Sima Shang frowned and solved the intention of the Qin army in his heart. How could he solve it for a while? Not long after, the Qin army had already entered the range of shooting, and a general asked: "General, do you shoot?"

After a little thought, Sima Shang ordered: "Shoot. Use rockets to break the Qin army's shield. The sooner the Qin army's shield is, the more beneficial it will be to us."

With a command, the arrows were like locusts, and the Qin army still used shields to block them and pushed them non-stop.

The Qin army was advancing suddenly shouted, throwing away the shield, and the two of them were carrying one bag, and they rushed over, throwing the bags in their hands straight towards Haogou, splashing the water after another.
