The ground trembled, the horses' hooves flew, and the dead branches and leaves on the ground were splashed away and swirled back and forth against the horses' legs. The Jieqi in the front were holding their shields with one hand and holding short spears with the other hand, using only their skillful skills.

They controlled the horses with their legs, while the cavalry on both sides near the hills used their shields to protect their bodies. Although some people were hit by arrows and fell from their horses occasionally, it did not have any impact on the overall situation.

"Whoosh~~" The nearly a thousand war horses running at the front suddenly stumbled and rolled heavily to the ground. With a muffled thump, the horses slid forward. In an instant, people were turned on their backs and horses were turned upside down, and puffs of blood flew in all directions.

Shooting, miserable howls and neighings continued one after another. Before they even approached the stone barrier, the Qin army was already in a mess!

Tao Bao, who was supervising the battle in the rear formation, had a slight twitch on his face. The Qin army had set up a snagging rope. He had guessed that any army would set up a snagging rope as long as there were conditions. The snagging rope was cheap and hassle-free. In this valley, even if the situation was peaceful,

It is relatively flat, but is covered with dry grass and sparse trees, making it the most suitable place for setting up snagging ropes.

However, the Jie army's attack relied entirely on those short spears. The short spears had to be accelerated by the momentum of the war horses in order to throw them as far as possible. Otherwise, they would be shot by the Qin army's crossbows before they got close, so they knew that there were people ahead.

The trap had to be rushed upward, and the loss of nearly a thousand people was not beyond his psychological expectations.

"Damn it! Is it over yet?" Taobao couldn't help but roared angrily!

He saw that the nearly a thousand cavalry at the front fell to the ground and only tripped over a hundred cavalry. The cavalry behind either took a detour or jumped directly over. He couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But before he could finish his relief, hundreds more came.

The rider tripped and fell.

Shi Cong reminded urgently: "General, judging from this situation, the Qin army must have set up dense snagging ropes in front of the formation. Although there are only less than 500 steps left from his front formation, if they have to completely rush through, at least

There will still be one or two thousand casualties. If it is defeated before the battle, I am afraid it will shake the morale of the army. I still have to wait and see, it is better to clean up first, remove the obstacles and then attack with the whole army!"

Taobao thought about it for a while, then firmly shook his head: "No! "Zuo Zhuan, The Ten Years of Duke Zhuang" says: "Courage is also a battle. It can be done in one go, then it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted! Now that the drum is clear, it is normal."

This is the time when morale is at its strongest. If we clean up and then attack again, our morale will be exhausted.

! Moreover, within three days at most, the Tuoba clan will come from behind. By then, our army will have no food and grass inside and no reinforcements from outside, and will be in a desperate situation with enemies from both sides. Because we can only work hard and break through the Qin army's defense line regardless of the cost. In this way,

You and I may have a way to survive!"

Including Shi Cong, the generals around him all understood that what Taobao said was reasonable. For a moment, they felt a little gloomy. How had the majestic Zhao cavalry ever faced such a situation? In the final analysis, it still depends on Shi Hu's

Once defeated, it didn't matter if he died, but nearly 100,000 elites were wiped out, causing the Zhao Kingdom to fall from its peak!

This was the thought of most generals. They had not been to the situation in person. Therefore, they did not know that Shi Hu was actually at a disadvantage at that time. The longer it dragged on, the worse it became. Shi Hu could only take a risk, but failed.

That’s all.

Taobao clearly felt the subtle change in the atmosphere. After turning his head and looking around, he suddenly let out a loud roar: "My sons, today's battle is about the strength of our country and whether we can reach Hebei safely! Qin

The army set up a fortress here to intercept it.

If you want our lives, can we give it to you? No! Even if you die, you have to put someone on your back. Today, including this general, everyone is fighting against the Qin people to the death! I, Zhao, can rise in troubled times.

, relying on being brave and not afraid of death!

Come! Burn your blood, let us fight with the enemy. Only the families in Hebei who are far away in Xiangguo can enjoy peace. Only the soldiers who die on the battlefield can be called heroes! Come, let you and I defend the king.

Fight to protect your family and Zhao! Be loyal to the king!"

"Be loyal to the king! Be loyal to the king!" In an instant, the morale of the Jie army soared, and fanatical passion burned in everyone's heart. At this time, they were no longer afraid of death, but death had become a kind of supreme desire.

glory!

Some of the Jie army attacking the mountain were injured by cold arrows. Logically speaking, they should retreat to the rear for immediate treatment, but they didn't. They swung the arrows away without thinking, and the blood spurted out, but they were not affected at all.

Influence!

Even though some people were shot in vital parts, they still had to run a few more steps forward before dying, and throw the weapons in their hands at the enemy with all their strength!

As for the Jie cavalry who attacked the stone barrier, quite a few people's perception magically rose to an inexplicable level. The rope hidden in the withered grass was no longer a secret. With their superb equestrian skills, they easily jumped over it.

Looking at the increasingly fierce battle on the hillside, especially the casualties among the Qin army's officers that far exceeded those before, Caoxiang Banner Suo Ji showed a trace of worry in her beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the Jie people are real

Don't be afraid of death. You see, the pressure on the soldiers has increased a lot. It would be terrible if the Jie army attacks the mountain."

"Scoff!" Yun Feng chuckled: "What's the use of a surge in morale? The King of Chu's desperate efforts can never be repeated. What's more, our army is not fighting the enemy head-on, but relying on favorable terrain to block the attack. At the beginning, there may be pressure

It is bigger, but the morale of the Jie army is as fast as it comes and retreats quickly. If it cannot attack for a long time, how can it not fall straight down? In less than an hour, it will definitely go back and forth from where it came, and maybe it will be even lower.

cut!"

Grass-flavored banner Suo Ji turned around and saw that Yu Wenjun, Xun Guanniang, Liu Yueru and all the female Rakshasa women had no fear on their faces, and the soldiers of the Qin army up and down the mountain were also unmoved. Then she realized that her reaction was too big.

She couldn't help but blush slightly, and responded in a low voice: "Oh!"

Yu Wenjun glanced at Yunfeng, and also advised: "Cao Xiang Banner Suo Ji, you don't have to worry, this is the turtle iron barrel formation that the general is best at. He is a person who becomes less and less courageous as time goes by. In the past, he often led a lone army to fight with others.

Several times the number of enemies are fighting hard, but now, they are constantly arranging turtles and iron barrels to lure the enemy to attack, which is really boring!"

Yunfeng's face suddenly darkened and he said displeased: "What do you know? It seems that you have turned a deaf ear to what Gu just said. The way to be a general is to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost. This is the style of a famous general. Hard work

If you attack forcefully, it is just a fierce general and a brave general! Our army has

If you can rely on the terrain to block the attack, why go forward and fight him? What's more, there are mountains and hills here, and cavalry and archery cannot be used effectively. It is impossible to annihilate the enemy on the move. If you rush to attack with cavalry, you can only get into a melee. Therefore, dismounting is the only way to fight.

It’s a move to maximize your strengths and avoid your weaknesses!”

After saying that, Yunfeng looked at Yu Wenjun, who was speechless and with a resentful look on his face, and said proudly: "I don't stick to the rules, and with this outfit, even if he is not a famous general, he is still a Confucian general. What is a Confucian general?"

?With a wave of the feather fan, the oars and oars fly into ashes and disappear into smoke. This is a Confucian general!"

"Ugh~~" Yu Wenjun immediately showed an extremely exaggerated expression of nausea, and glared at Yunfeng with great disdain. Even the women around him felt their chests and abdomens twitching. They had seen narcissistic people, but never such narcissism.

of!

Everyone turned their attention to the foot of the mountain without even looking at him!

The people on the hillside were not worried at all about the Jie army's surging offensive, but down the hillside, there was an optimistic atmosphere. Feeling the overwhelming momentum, Shi Cong praised: "The general is really smart, the morale of the soldiers is high."

If it rises high, it will be a piece of cake to defeat the Qin army’s stone barrier!”

Taobao showed a hint of excitement, and the generals around him nodded repeatedly, stroking their beards and smiling slightly, and their expectant eyes were fixed on the cavalry formation in front.

In a few breaths, the Jie army had reached a distance where they could throw short spears, and for some reason, the vegetation on this piece of land was extremely sparse. It was obviously impossible to set up a trip rope. No one hesitated at this moment, and everyone tried their best.

Throw the short spear forward!

"Buzz buzz~~" The harsh sound that broke through the air could be heard clearly even by Taobao and other generals who were hanging in the rear. The shadows of spears in the sky were like dark clouds, covering the sky and covering the Qin army's position, as if just now

The rising sun has been blocked out!

Unexpectedly, there were no screams from the Qin army's formation. Instead, the tinkling sound of short spears hitting stones could be heard endlessly. What is going on? Could it be that the invincible short spears malfunctioned? Some

He stood on tiptoes impatiently and looked around.

There is no way around it. The terrain inside the valley is slightly higher than outside the valley. Standing on the flat ground, you can only see that the stone barrier does not span the entire valley, but there are several gaps of varying widths in between. Behind the stone barrier

There are also faint stone barriers.

However, Jie Qi, who was rushing at the front, could see clearly that the back of the stone barriers was like a maze. The stone barriers of different lengths were no taller than a human body. They were chaotic and irregular. They were lined up in the valley, with more than ten rows.

Many, the distance is four to five feet apart, the distance is far

It will not exceed more than ten feet. When fighting in such an environment, you can only make twists and turns along the reserved gaps. The speed will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the assault advantage of the cavalry will gradually be lost. Moreover, when a person is riding on a horse,

He is tall and conspicuous, but he has become a target.

As for the Qin army, they all leaned tightly behind the stone barrier. No wonder the short spears flying over the stone barrier were almost empty. Unless the short spears could penetrate the stone, they would not be able to hurt them at all, but obviously, this is impossible!

Such a strange formation was designed to defeat the cavalry. For a moment, the Jie army's forwards felt that they were in a dilemma. If they dismounted and pushed down the stone barrier, they would be shot to death by the Qin army's bows before they even got close.

If you rush forward, the endless stone barriers will make your scalp numb, and you don't know whether you will survive to the end. But if you retreat, before the sound of gold comes, turning the horse's head without permission can only lead to death!

They were full of momentum when they threw the first short spear. After throwing it, although the horses continued to gallop, they didn't know whether to throw the second spear or not. During this hesitation, the Qin army's position was tense.

Sound, life-threatening short arrows are coming towards you!

In an instant, there were screams. Whether they were people or horses, they all fell to the ground after being hit by arrows. The blood flowing out and the slightest trace of heat were clearly visible!
