Chapter 22 After the Battle

"Qin people--" The shouting came to an abrupt end. With the last twilight, the Qin army came. At first there were three waves of arrow rains. There were many people who were caught off guard and fell to the ground by the arrows, including the commander who shouted "Qin people are here." Then he heard the roar and running steps of the Qin people when charging. In the twilight that was about to end, they were like evil ghosts rushing out of a nightmare. As soon as they appeared, they knocked over the first few rows of Chu soldiers and then began to kill.

The left army was as deep as yesterday. The Qin army broke through several rows in one breath. It was not until the fourth row that they encountered normal resistance. At this time, they were no longer in a horizontal formation, but formed a group of five people and five people to fight against the Chu army. The fourth row of the Chu army was no longer armored soldiers, and most of them were common people wearing marinated clothes and thigh clothes. They were no match for the Qin army who had been separated for a long time. Most of them were stabbed by the Qin army without swinging a few spears. Before they fell to the ground, they were chopped off their heads. The scarf on the head pulled out the bun and scattered it, and tied their hair to their waists. They hung it on the Qin army with blood, which became their military achievements.

I was not very shocked when I was killed. It would be a panic when I saw the soldiers in the front row being killed. The soldiers who were weak and weak could not hear the yelling of the soldiers behind me, and could not move their weapons. They only watched the Qin soldiers walking with a grin; the soldiers in the back row retreated with a meaning, and some even turned around and wanted to run away, but unfortunately they were stabbed to death by the soldiers behind the formation with a sword.

"Up! Up!" The commander of the pawn waved the bloody copper sword and drove the retreating disciples back, but most of them dared to circle around the Qin people, either holding a spear and stabbing them desperately, or smashing them with long slaughter, sometimes even hitting their heads. Fortunately, the Qin people were right in front of them, and there was always a chance of hitting them. When they saw the injured Qin people bleeding or falling to the ground, their fear gradually dissipated, and they turned to yell and fought with the Qin people.

What happened in the military formation was beyond the sight of Xiong Jing, located behind the array. In the early morning of the twilight, he saw the Qin army ahead running like a tide. The left army's nearly a thousand-step wide army was violently impacted by them. The array was trembling and retreating. The shattered white frost made the dead grass wet, but the dust trampled out still enveloped the battle formation. Everything was not very real. Except for the back of the archer behind the formation, the weapon faintly swung over the head, everything was extremely blurred, but the attack, screaming, and shouting were extremely clear.

At this time, the palace armor on both sides had already set up a formation. Six hundred barbarians lined up a 100-meter-long arc with five people in depth. The two soldiers, swords, shields and hands were arranged in wedge-shaped shapes, each with fifty rows on each side, and three people in depth. Two military chariots on the left and right were clamped with bear jingles riding on the horse, with feathers on the side of the horse, and some other swordsmen.

Xiong Jing stared forward with an incredible expression. He didn't expect the Qin army to come as soon as possible. Don't they need to line up? He also wanted to fight the side with cavalry advantage on the battlefield, and fight whenever he wanted. Because of the night, the Chu army could not even guarantee the last visual safety and was caught off guard by the Qin army. He couldn't help but look back and look in the direction of the camp. The Qin army was so unexpected. Can the central army still use the strategy of retreating?

Xiong Jing was unbelievable. Lian Po had just woken up from his sleepiness. He did not see the sudden attack of the Qin army before the Left Army. What he saw was nothing more than dust. Although the two armies fought together in the depths of the Chu army, the twenty-row formation was trembling, but was not at the verge of collapse. He did not turn to see Xiang Yan's shogunate, but stood in the military carriage and looked far away with the Lu Lijing sent by Xiong Jing, wanting to know the situation of the enemy and our army, and even wanting to find out the flaws of the Qin army. He didn't care about the right historical in a hurry on another military carriage.

"King, I am late to protect you." Behind the small formation, Jiao Zheng rushed over with an anxious look on his horse. Four thousand palace sanitation were also running with him. "The battle formation is dangerous, please leave here quickly."

"How dangerous?" The sky was finally bright enough to look far away. The left army was indeed attacked by the Qin army, but the central army and the right army did not fight. The Qin people were calmly lined up five hundred steps away.

"Let's go-away!" The archers behind the left army began to shoot. Their target was to connect with the Qin army behind the enemy's military line. Because the distance was very close, ten thousand archers were arranged in ten rows and ordered them to break through the air. Many arrows collided with each other in flight, and some even fell on the heads of the Chu army. However, these arrows still took the life of the Qin army. When the arrow rain fell, there was a scream behind the Qin army's array. Some were shot to death, some were shot and injured, and some were nailed to the ground by arrows, unable to move.

"Let it go—!" Another rain of arrows shot out. The second shot was more accurate, and more arrows hit the air, but more enemies were killed when they fell. This time, in addition to screaming, the Qin army's rear row in the war began to loosen, and more people wanted to rush into the Chu army array and entangle with the Chu people.

"Let it go—!" The third wave of arrow rain shot out. While the arrow rain flew into the sky, a chariot ran horizontally in the gap between the archers and the sects. The officer in the car shouted loudly: "The king is behind the formation, the king is watching me wait! The king is behind the formation, the king is watching me wait! The king is behind the formation..."

"The king is behind the formation? The king is behind the formation?" The soldiers who were still panicked couldn't help looking back. Yes, they saw it, and when they saw the flag, they floated behind the formation, and the king was behind the formation!

"The king is behind the formation! The king is behind the formation!!" As if he was electrocuted, countless people became excited and tyrannical.

"Let it go—!" I don't know which rain of arrows was. In the rain of arrows, the sound of gold appeared at first, and then became louder and louder, and became more and more urgent. This was the order for the Qin army to retreat. The Qin army soldiers gradually retreated and slowly distanced from the Chu army. The Qin army soldiers who had not yet received the Chu army took advantage of the next wave of arrows to run and retreat to their own formation.

"The Qin people escaped! The Qin people escaped!" At first, they were panicked, but now they were excited. Seeing the Qin army retreating, many disciples chased after them with spears regardless of life and death. Because of their pursuit, the archers behind the formation no longer fired arrows. In addition to avoiding accidental injury to their own army, they also saved arrows more importantly - the battle started in a hurry, and there were not many arrows available. But no one could have imagined that in the array of Qin right army facing each other, countless bowstrings were being pulled tightly, and an officer-like man repeatedly shouted in the crossbowman's queue: "The Jing people are 120 steps! The Jing people are 120 steps!"

The distance of shooting affects the shooting angle. Although there is no scale on the Wangshan Mountain, the crossbowman lifted the crossbow to the highest angle facing Wangshan Mountain, and then waited for the officer's order. The shadows were very short in the winter morning and evening, and the sun had already come out. In the open space where the two armies confronted each other, the Qin soldiers were retreating. The Chu army in the rear was clenched. Seeing that the Chu army was chasing closer and closer, the central army's order flag waved, and the military officers beside him shouted: "Go, go, go..."

The shooting of Qin crossbow soldiers is different from the shooting of Chu bow soldiers. Crossbow soldiers must stand in front of the formation. With the order of the military officer, the crossbow soldiers behind the soldiers passed through the gaps between the queues and quickly lined up in front of the formation. Before the third arrangement was arranged, the military officers in front of the formation shouted again: "Shoot!"

Unlike bow strings, the crossbow is opened with its feet, and the string force is heavier than three or four stones. When the hanging knife is pulled, the crossbow string from the tooth is bounced back with a "bang" and the crossbow arrow flew towards the Chu army, which was chasing out of the array and entering the range at an inclined angle.

"Not good!" The soldiers in front of the Qin Right Army saw several dense crossbowmen running out of the front row of the formation. The Chu army also rushed to the gold medal urgently, but it was still too late. When the chasing soldiers looked up, thousands of crossbow arrows fell rapidly, and countless people were caught. When the remaining people were about to retreat, another rain of arrows fell. When the third row of crossbowmen finished shooting, the chasing Chu army was either dead or injured, and screamed.

When the Qin army withdrew, Xiong Jing was still interested in the pursuit of the Chu army. Unexpectedly, after chasing for more than fifty steps, he was caught by the opponent's crossbowmen. The Chu army was no better than the Qin army. Everyone had armor. Those who had armor had been consumed by the Qin army's sudden attack. These soldiers who were wearing a coat and stuffed with shag inside were terrible after encountering the rain of arrows.

The Qin army seemed to have no use of arrows. After three rounds of shooting, they stepped on the crossbow and then took another three round of shooting to ensure their decapitation results. The Chu army soldiers who could not escape due to serious injuries were shot again. Their shrill screams were so loud that the whole army could hear them. The comrades who were listed in the formation fifty steps outside could not bear to listen, nor could they bear to watch.

"No!" Seeing that the Chu army soldiers who could not afford to rise in the mirror were almost shot into a hedgehog, Xiong Jing finally couldn't help it. "Call Fan Que over!"

"The last general is here!" Fan Que was the commander of the sword and shield soldier who followed Xiong Jing out of the palace during the rebellion of Yingdu. He was already the general of the sword and shield soldier of the sanitation sword and shield soldier.

"Go. All those who are alive will be saved!" Xiong Jing pointed ahead, where he screamed in pain.

"The last general will receive the order." After Fan Queyi Li, he took two soldiers and swords and shields forward. Although the twenty-row military formation was not penetrated by the Qin army, it was still full of holes after chasing. Without the command of the soldiers to order the soldiers to move out of the way, the two soldiers and swords and shields crossed the array and appeared in front of the formation.

The Chu army disciples in the front row originally had large shields, but this kind of large shield is completely different from the large shields in the hands of sword and shield soldiers. The large shields used by sword and shield soldiers are just flat shields. Not only are the styles different, but they are also different. When 150 people wide build shields and form a tortoise shell formation less than two meters wide and twenty-five meters long, everyone was stunned.

"What kind of formation is that? How could it be so weird?" Jie Zhang Nu continued to shoot. Yang Duanhe, the chief general of the Right Army, saw a small Chu army protruding from the formation. When he was wondering what the small Chu army was going to do, he saw them forming a small formation with shields and marching towards his army.

"Shoot--!" The shield formation was moving forward very quickly. The crossbow soldiers and soldiers who did not believe in evil pointed at these two small formations and ordered the crossbow soldiers to shoot.
