Chapter 204: Star Destroyer Crossbow Reappears

The great moves of the Qin and Han countries also shocked Deng Sheng, and Deng Sheng had a premonition that after this battle, there would be only one of the Qin and Han countries. As for which one would become the final winner, it is unknown, but Deng Sheng was more optimistic about Qin, which was a kind of intuition. Especially when he learned that Meng Zhan handed over the command of the 300,000 Qin troops to Bai Qi who ambushed Zhou Shen, Deng Sheng even believed that the Qin army would win the final victory. The man named Bai Qi was not simple.

Although Deng Sheng had already made it clear that he would not intervene in this war before the war between Qin and Han Dynasties, Deng Sheng thought it would be a protracted war at that time, but he did not expect that Qin and Han were so tough that they would be a decisive battle. Therefore, Deng Sheng decided to take advantage of the troubled waters and secretly ordered Li Xiucheng's Longwu Guard stationed in Xi County to seize the Wu Pass after the Qin and Han Dynasties had a result.

Since Deng Sheng ascended the throne, this Wu Pass has seemed like a sharp knife hanging over Deng's head, a sharp knife that could penetrate Deng's heart at any time. Although Deng Sheng has greatly weakened the strength of Han State after several battles over the years, as a life-and-death enemy for so many years, Deng Sheng has never relaxed his vigilance against Han State for a moment. Deng State has also had tens of thousands of elite elite guarding the Western Front all year round to prevent the possible attacks of Han State at any time.

Deng Sheng was thinking about how to take down Wu Pass at all times. While ensuring Deng’s western front, he also cleared an obstacle for Deng’s future march to Guanzhong. At this time, the Han State transferred all the elite troops in the country to Yu Mi. This was the best opportunity for Deng to seize Wu Pass. Once he missed it, he would probably regret it. Deng Sheng had discussed the idea of ​​Wu Pass with Yue Fei, Su Hong, Cui Hao and others for many years, and they all thought it was feasible, so Deng Sheng would do it, but all this depends on the result of the battle between Yu Mi.

Li Xiucheng, who was far away in Xi County, began to secretly mobilize his troops and move towards Wuguan after receiving Deng Sheng's secret order. However, now the whole world's eyes are focused on Yumi, so no one noticed the actions of Long Wuwei.

On the first day of September of the 15th year of Qianyuan, the Wuyue Mountain, the Weishui River, Guanzhong, a large plain between the mountains and rivers of Wuyue Mountain, the Wei River, was moved to this place since Bai Qi took over 300,000 Qin troops. There was no city in this place, and the terrain was flat, which was most suitable for a decisive battle. After the Qin army came to this place, Cao Tian also led 350,000 Han troops here, and the two armies formed a formation here.

In the Qin army position, Bai Qi looked at the Han army formation indifferently in the distance, as if he was looking at a group of prey, and asked Meng Zhan beside him: "General, are the 100,000 crossbowmen ready?"

Meng Zhan nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's ready. As long as the Han army dares to charge, they will die under the Star Destroy Crossbow." Meng Zhan has full confidence in the Qin army's Star Destroy Crossbow. This was a weapon that Qin relied on to dominate the world hundreds of years ago. It was once a terrifying existence for the famous generals of the six countries. However, with the demise of the Qin Dynasty, the Star Destroy Crossbow was destroyed in the world. Meng Zhan also felt extremely regretful about this, but no one expected that Bai Qi actually found the manufacturing drawings of the Star Destroy Crossbow in the ancient books left by the man slaughtering Bai Qi. So the King of Qin ordered all Qin to devote all of it and trained 100,000 crossbow soldiers. This is the confidence of Qin to dare to fight for life and death in the Han Dynasty.

Bai Qi nodded, looked at the direction of the Han army, and showed a ghostly smile, saying, "Send an order to make 100,000 crossbowmen in front of the formation. When the Han army launches a charge, tens of thousands of arrows will be fired at the same time, and tens of thousands of iron cavalry will be behind the crossbowmen. After the crossbowmen defeated the charge formation of the Han army, we will destroy the Han army's position. In addition, we will raise our general's banner to let the Han army know that the people who ambush Zhou Shen and Xu Jie are here. If you want to take revenge, come."

"Here!"

Soon, the formation of the Qin army was already set up. Bai Qi looked at the sky and ordered: "The whole army is moving forward slowly."

"Here!"

"Tread!Tread!Tread!" The 300,000 Qin troops slowly drove towards the Han army's position with unified and orderly pace. Cao Tian, ​​the commander of the Han army on the other side, had already prepared everything, and at the same time ordered the army to move forward slowly.

The army of both sides slowly walked into the center of the battlefield together, and Bai Qi and Cao Tian, ​​as commanders, also commanded the army to fight with the flag on the high platform of their own positions.

Bai Qi ignored the front. When the Qin army and the Han army were less than two hundred steps apart, Bai Qi ordered: "The whole army stopped, and the crossbowmen were ready!"

The order flag soldiers shook the order flag, and the 300,000 Qin troops suddenly stopped, which made Cao Tian very puzzled. However, when the Qin army's sword and shield soldiers in front dispersed and rows of crossbows were exposed, Cao Tian was shocked and hurriedly said: "Star Destroying Crossbow, this is the Star Destroying Crossbow. Damn it, isn't this lost? How could it appear here? Quickly, shake the order flag, and order the sword and shield soldiers to prepare. At the same time, the army was divided into three parts. The rear team slowly retreated and left the coverage of the Star Destroying Crossbow. The front team was divided into two parts and scattered to the two wings."

The star-destroying crossbow is so famous that although it has been lost, Cao Tian, ​​who is well-educated, has also seen such crossbows from the ancient books of his family in his family, so he recognized this kind of killing weapon that the Qin State relied on to dominate the world in the pre-Qin period.

Although the Han generals who received the order were very confused by Cao Tian's order, they still obeyed the iron rule of military orders, but it was too late.

The Qin army's star-destroying crossbow was already ready, and when Bai Qi saw that the Han army began to change formations, he knew that someone in the Han army recognized the star-destroying crossbow, so he ordered: "Send an order to shoot arrows!"

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!" Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows were launched at once, flying straight to the Han army formation, like a gorgeous scenery.

After seeing this rain of crossbow arrows, the Han army was shocked first, and then there was infinite fear. It was okay to have a shield in hand, but the archers, spearmen, and cavalry became targets of arrows and were nailed to the ground. With just one rain of arrows, the Han army suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, once again allowing the world to see the great reputation of the Star Destroying Crossbow.

After ten thousand arrows were fired at once, the Han army's formation was already in chaos. Bai Qi took the opportunity to order: "Order the cavalry to attack, destroy the Han army's formation for this general, and take the Han army's central army directly."

"Kill!" The 100,000 Qin army cavalry rushed towards the Han army. At this time, the Han army was still frightened by the terrifying power of the Star Destroyer Crossbow and had no reaction at all. Cao Tian, ​​on the high platform of the Han army's position, felt helpless, so he ordered: "Tell the sword and shield soldiers and spear soldiers to form formations to block the attack of the Qin cavalry, and the rest of the troops slowly retreated back to the camp."

The Han army was already frightened by the Star Destroyer Crossbow. If he continued to fight with the Qin army, he might have to explain all the 350,000 troops here. So Cao Tian made a quick decision and retreated first, and waited for the morale of the army to recover. He also had to come up with a way to deal with the Star Destroyer Crossbow.

As soon as the Han army ordered the flag to move, all the sword and shield soldiers of the Han army were in front and the spear soldiers, forming formations to block the attack of the Qin cavalry. The Han army tried its best, regardless of casualties, and finally blocked the 100,000 Qin cavalry. Seeing that the cavalry's charge had been stopped, it would be meaningless to continue to fight, so he ordered the Jin Dynasty to withdraw the troops.

The Qin army won the first battle. After Bai Qi returned to the camp, he ordered the reward of the three armies. Today, the Star Destroyer Crossbow showed its might, which scared all the Han army. Before finding a solution to the Star Destroyer Crossbow, the Han army would not dare to act rashly, which gave Bai Qi more time to make arrangements.

The Han army was also bleak. In today's battle, the Han army suffered heavy losses. First, a shooting of the Star Destroyer Crossbow caused nearly 20,000 casualties in the Han army. Later, in order to stop the impact of the Qin army's cavalry, the sword and shield soldiers and spear soldiers also suffered 10,000 or 20,000 casualties. In just half a day, the Han army suffered nearly 40,000 casualties. The losses were too great. Moreover, the Qin army had a large killing weapon like the Star Destroyer Crossbow, and Cao Tian really did not dare to fight the Qin army anymore. At least, Cao Tian would not send troops before finding a way to deal with the Star Destroyer Crossbow.
