Chapter 252: Unexpected start

Zhao State was the second largest country after Qin State in the world. Although it was adjacent to the powerful Qin State, it firmly blocked Qin State in the West, causing King Wulie of Qin to fight the Central Plains to be defeated again and again. Such a great country had a strong military strength, far better than Yan State. Even the private army under a large noble in the country, its army was quite considerable. Zhao Qi, the general who commanded the army to fight this time, was deeply trusted by King Zhao, and the private army under his rule was strong. The county magistrates alone maintained the number of 30,000. In addition, Zhao Qi was dispatched in full swing, and a total of nearly 50,000 people were used. In addition, Zhao State's standing army commanded by Zhao Guang, in the battle of Yan and Zhao State, Zhao State used a total of nearly 100,000 troops.

Zhao Qi did not take the Yan army seriously, nor did he take the Yan army in the flank direction seriously.

"Even if my Yan State is young and strong, after wearing armor and holding spears, he is still much stronger than the so-called county soldiers such as Yan thieves!" Under the banner, Zhao Qi, who was wearing armor, raised his horse whip, pointed to the Yan army in the flank direction, and laughed.

"But General, you still used our two thousand cavalry and five thousand elite soldiers. Are you making a big deal?" A member of the army greeted him with a smile.

"If a lion fights a rabbit, you should also use all your strength!" Zhao Qi said: "Our enemy is Jiang Dawei in front, but when we defeated Jiang Dawei, there was a mosquito around us that was always buzzing, which was quite annoying. If we destroy these miscellaneous soldiers, let us focus on dealing with Jiang Dawei!"

"These miscellaneous soldiers will come down in one go!" The general laughed, "General, look, our cavalry began to charge."

Zhao Qi did not turn around, "A group of lions went to slaughter sheep. What's the point of looking good? Beat the drum, march, and attack Jiang Dawei."

Amid the sound of drums that shook the sky, the Zhao army slowly advanced forward like Mount Tai. Further away, the war drums of the Yan army were also ringing without any weakness. The soldiers of Yuyang County shouted and greeted them.

Gao Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Jun who rushed towards his position like a strong wind and rain. A smile appeared in the corner of his mouth. In front of him, when Arunda fought against Arunda last year, he rushed to his position without any scruples, and then fell to the ground with his arms and crossbows like rain.

"Come on, come on, let me give you a surprise." He murmured.

The scene of thousands of cavalry charging at the same time is a visual impact in the eyes of the soldiers of various counties in Yan State. They have never seen such a scene. The thunder-like horse hooves hit their ears like thunder. The wind-like cavalry made them destroyed by the fighting spirit they had just been bulging like sunshine and snow. The tight formation began to loosen, and the buzzing noise began to sound, and many people involuntarily began to retreat.

How could the flesh and blood block the impact of the cavalry? These soldiers swallowed their saliva with difficulty and retreated step by step.

"County lieutenant, look!" In the center of the position, the infantry saw the retreat of the county soldiers on both sides, his face changed slightly, and he whispered to remind Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan shook his head slightly, "This is nothing to do. A group of rookies who have never fought a war, let alone see the cavalry charge, even if they see the infantry charge, they will be cowardly. Come and let our brothers show them the same way. Xiao Yanzi."

Yan Haibo strode out, the big knife on his back was not unsheathed, but he was holding a spear in his hand. He stood in the middle of the front row of the line and shouted, "Rise!"

Hundreds of spears slanted upwards and stabbed out, forming a forest of guns in an instant.

"Enter!"

The Gunlin took three steps forward. Behind them, the Ba held his arm and opened his crossbow, and raised his hand, "Rise!"

One hundred arm-opening crossbows were lifted up steadily.

"Destiny!" Naha aimed at a cavalry. The crossbowmen on his left and right were looking for their own targets.

The infantry were riding on the horse, holding a bow in their hands, and behind him, a hundred cavalry stood quietly. It was not the time for them to attack. These cavalry, like their horses, were long-lived in the battlefield, and no matter how chaotic the environment was, they had no touch. Some cavalry even had the time to take out a bean from their pockets and stuff them into the horse's mouth.

The panic on the left and right wings became even better as the cavalry got closer and closer. The originally tight formation had cracks. If it weren't for the officers' hissings, these mistresses might have turned around and ran away long ago.

Gao Yuan choked, drew his sword and raised it high, and roared angrily: "Kill!"

In the middle of the battlefield, more than a thousand Fufeng soldiers burst into a killing voice in unison. This shout was deafening and murderous intent. Accompanied by the roar of killing, the roar of the crossbow suddenly rang out and the whole audience.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows passed through the gaps in the gun forest, like black lightning bolts, rushing towards the cavalry. This was the first time that the arm-opening crossbow appeared on the battlefield in the Central Plains.

The sound of linoline was endless. The cavalry rushed in front and fell down the horse. The cavalry behind did not hesitate at all and continued to break the horse forward. In their perception, there was only one kind of crossbow with this range, that is, the crossbow, but the firing rate of the crossbow was extremely slow. After one shot, the second firing took a long time. This period of time was enough to make them rush to the opponent's formation. Most of the opponent's defense lines had begun to loosen. Just rush over and the overall situation was determined. What's more, at this time, behind them, five thousand infantry were coming in line. When the infantry arrived at the battlefield, they should complete the cutting of these Yanyan and Yan soldiers, defeat and disperse, so that the infantry behind could easily remove the dispersed soldiers.

When the sound of linolino sounded again, the generals of the Zhao cavalry could not believe their eyes. As soon as a wave of crossbow arrows fell, the second wave followed like a shadow.

"This is not a crossbow!" he screamed.

This is indeed not a crossbow, but the generals of Zhao State understood this truth after paying hundreds of cavalry corpses. The cavalry rushed forward, and the two wings were still advancing forward, but in the middle, where the thickest cavalry formation was shot, a deep concave shape was shot out.

The crossbows were shooting continuously, and the cavalry kept falling down, and the momentum of the attack was stopped in an instant.

Meng Chong and Xu Yuan widened their eyes, and looked at this incredible scene, and ecstasy came to their hearts. They waved their swords and rushed around between their subordinates, shouting loudly: "See, see, do you see, Zhao Jun is vulnerable, line up for me, raise your gun, and take a step back, kill, archers, shoot for me, keep shooting!"

The cavalry in the middle was brutally massacred, and the cavalry on both wings suddenly slowed down, which gave the county soldiers on both wings a chance to reorganize.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Meng Chong's little white face had become Guan Gong's face at this time, waving his big sword and roaring around.

Xu Yuan's upside down eyebrows were raised upwards at this time, and his pair of triangular eyes expanded several times than usual. "My sons, if you kill them all, we can go home alive. Kill, kill, kill!"

The army on the gentle slope began to advance, facing the cavalry, they were moving forward.

As soon as the infantry lifted the reins of the horse, an arc flashed through the air, "I will follow me!" The horse was like a dragon, flashing out of the formation. Just as the infantry jumped out of the array, the infantry had already drawn his bow and pulled the strings. With a buzzing sound, a Zhao cavalry who had been lucky enough to avoid the shooting of the crossbow of arms and crossbows fell off the horse with a loud bang.

One hundred Fufeng cavalry rushed out, and one hundred long bows were pulled open and shot.

Behind them, a hundred arms and crossbows had already changed directions together and began to shoot towards the Zhao cavalry on the other side.

The development of the war was completely different from Zhao Qi's imagination. In his imagination, these miscellaneous soldiers should have gone down in one go.

The fierce resistance of the Yan County soldiers far exceeded Jiang Dawei's expectations. Zhou Yu beside him smiled meaningfully, "Gao Yuan, it's really good." After saying this, he turned his horse's head, "Jiang County Magistrate, fight, hold Zhao Qi, the longer the better, the longer you drag, the more confident we will be to defeat his main force."

Zhou Yu ran away from the horse. Jiang Dawei looked up at the chaotic battlefield in the distance, spat fiercely, pulled out his waist knife, "Prepare to fight!" He shouted loudly.

The war between Yuyang Jing'an and Yan and Zhao officially kicked off, but Jicheng was still calm at this time, but under the tranquility, there were undercurrents surging silently.

In Jingfang, there was a remote room. Although the sun was shining outside, the room was extremely dark. Cao Tianci was sitting at the table and handed over the files to more than ten men in the room.

"There are all your new names, origins, and through Guan. After you memorize them, you will immediately destroy them. Then set off to these places. In the shortest time, learn local dialects and become familiar with the geography and humanity there. It is best to make some good friends who can be kind to you. Then return to Jicheng. Boss Zhang will arrange a new place for you. Remember, from now on, forget your original name, origin, and everything you used to forget. You just need to remember one thing, you are the soldiers of the County Guard Gao, and you are a member of the wolf pack."

"I understand!" More than ten men bowed together to serve as a courtesy.

"This is a secret contact point for our wolf pack, and there will be people waiting for you to come back in the future." Cao Tianci waved his hand. "Let's go, I hope to see you reappear in Jicheng as soon as possible in a brand new identity."

More than ten people left the dim little house one by one. Cao Tianci stood up and was about to leave. He was about to rush to Yuyang front line and to the side of Wei Gao.

The door was gently knocked, with a very special rhythm. When the door was opened, a familiar face appeared in front of Cao Tianci. This was also a member he brought, but this one had been taken away by Zhang Yi and inserted into Xianyun Tower to serve as a servant.

"Why are you here? What's wrong?" Cao Tianci was a little surprised.

"Sir, Shopkeeper Zhang asked me to inform you. Miss Ye Jing'er and Lord Ning Zecheng's daughter suddenly appeared in Xianyun Tower together, and Miss Cao Lian'er was also accompanying him!" The tone of the visitor was urgent.
