Let the air tremble~ tremble, let the blood boil, and the majestic war drums beat. The heavy armored infantry of the Qin State with black armor and black shields, holding a long ge, and wearing hideous black masks lined up in a neat queue. The order to march came with the sound of drums, and it was activated as a whole, forming a black cloud that pressed on the Chu army camp hundreds of meters away.

A good army will inevitably be able to condense its momentum. And the collection of 10,000 people is enough to produce a suffocating effect. As his opponent, when he is overwhelmed by this momentum, he is equivalent to losing.

Fortunately, in the face of this Qin army, it was an army that defeated the Qin army several times a day ago. The victory brought them courage and morale in the face of the enemy, and enhanced their self-confidence and fighting spirit. At this point, Jingyu's two-month continuous operation is about to be fully launched, and the effect of the successive battles two days ago is showing.

The Qin army gradually approached the attack range of the Chu archers, and they finally began to charge.

Riding on a war horse, Jingyu's position was the top of a low slope blocked by the Qin army's marching route. It was also a few hundred meters away from the position of the archers in front of them. He waved his hand, and the war drums of the Chu army also sounded. At the same time, the archers in front began to elevate 45 degrees to the sky in a neat manner, shooting their sharp arrows.

Five thousand archers, with a thousand light horse archers, a total of six thousand, divided into three echelons. Every second, an echelon of arrows is fired. In this way, when the third second has passed, the first echelon of 2,000 soldiers can shoot arrows again.

In this type of battle, the accuracy of the archery is not important, but the coverage and the number of times the archers can draw the bow. They didn't care how many people they would miss, as long as they disrupted the enemy's charging formation. If the enemy slips through the net, the hoplites in front will help solve it. It's really not good, there are still cavalry waiting for a reunion.

However, the defensive heavy infantry of the Chu army did not meet the Qin army this time when they ran through the area covered by the archers' shooting. Behind the battlefield, Wang Jian couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

"Get them all back at once!" He ordered.

The officer in charge of the herald was also watching the Qin army's charge, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard the words. It wasn't until Wang Jian glared at him again that he was startled and hurriedly gave the order. Unfortunately, it was already too late. The more than 1,000 heavily armored infantry who rushed to the forefront seemed to have run to the edge of a cliff, and all of them fell and disappeared without a trace. The soldiers behind them, who saw this, stopped at the edge of the crater that had suddenly appeared. There are unfortunate people, and they are hit by the unwitting brothers behind their backs.

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

Such shouts were repeated, and finally the entire heavy armored troops of the Qin army stopped. They watched in horror as countless sharp wooden thorns stood under the pit, which was about ten meters deep. Many of the soldiers of the Qin army who fell were pierced by this wooden thorn and hung on the wooden stake. There were also some who were not dead, and they reached out again and again for help. It's just that at such a height, and the enemy is in front, how can there be time to save them.

At this time, the archers of the Chu army adjusted the range of attack. The Qin army was most densely gathered at the edge of the pit, which became the best attack area for archers.

Shocked by the facts in front of him, the Qin army even forgot to use a shield to protect himself for a while. It was not until hundreds of people were hit by arrows that the signal to retreat sounded again from the rear that they retreated in a panic.

The location where Wang Jian is located is also high. Looking at the trench that was about five meters wide and hundreds of meters long across the battlefield, he sighed

"He chose this terrain as the battlefield, and it should be arranged in this way."

This is the only way to pursue the Chu army. The flat land is about several hundred meters wide, and the river is wide on the left and right. Although it is the middle of winter, it is only in the south, and the ice surface is not very thick. Ordinary people may be able to barely pass when they walk up, but the army charges and runs over en masse, how can the ice support? If you fall, the icy river water is enough to make people lose their combat effectiveness in an instant.

In that case, the only thing left is to pass through the front.

Wang Jian guessed in his heart that Jingyu must have started to build the trench here when the Qin army began to build a strong base. When he came, he wondered how there were three low slopes on the opposite side, one higher than the other. Now that I think about it, those must have been dug up in the soil... Moreover, there should be more than one trench. Looking at the soil color of those low slopes, it has been a month or two.

One more point, there are burn marks in the nearby woods, so that they do not have planks to lay on top of the trenches? Wang Jian shook his head at this, there should be other purposes. Because of the more than 300,000 troops brought here, the timber for the construction of the camp alone is enough to lay the trenches.

'Just, what could it be?' He couldn't think of it for a moment.

It's the morning of the day, and the fighting can't stop there. Wang Jian then ordered that suitable timber from the timber used to build the camp be selected and distributed to the sergeants. At the same time, under the cover of shield soldiers, more archer troops of the Qin army slowly advanced to the vicinity of the trench. Tens of thousands of archers, against thousands of archers, the Chu army obviously has no chance of winning.

Jingyu decisively retreated the archers, along with the hoplites in front of them, to the first low slope. In this way, the Chu army was out of the range of the Qin archers, and was able to hit the Qin army passing through the trench at the first time.

The Qin infantry carried wooden planks to the first trench and spread several layers in succession to prevent the hoplites from collapsing as they charged. Then, instead of charging, the Qin army continued to slowly cover the archers with heavy infantry and advanced towards the positions of the Chu army.

"Wang Jian has already concluded that I have other trenches to prepare for the Qin army. Jingyu smiled slightly.

Seeing that the heavy infantry of the Qin army advanced to the firing range of the archers of the Chu army, he issued another order. The sound of the drums changed, and I saw that at the second low slope, dozens of improvised wooden structures were suddenly carried up by the sergeants... Looking at its appearance, it clearly looks like a catapult.

The low slope raised the improvised catapult, allowing it to shoot at a longer range, reaching a distance of nearly three hundred meters. Football-sized rocks shot out like locusts and poured down on the Qin army's camp. Not to mention the heavy armor army, the archers of the Qin army became the first victims. Dozens of stones are not much, but the visual effect it creates is beyond imagination. Whoever is smashed, the bones and tendons are broken lightly, and the whole head is broken.

Although the number of crossbowmen of the Qin army was large, the attack was affected by the rocks. The archers of the Chu army were on a low slope, and their condescending shooting distance also surpassed them. Moreover, there was a gap in the line of the heavy infantry guarding them. The chaotic stones and the arrow array cooperated, and the Qin army's advance speed was very slow, which undoubtedly caused a lot of casualties.

As soon as Wang Jian saw this, he understood, "It turns out that the burned forest has the purpose of covering it up." ’

He withdrew both the archers and the hoplites, and then advanced beyond the first line of trenches. Then, the famous Qin State's strong crossbow troops appeared. The donkey they used was the largest one at this time. Before shooting, you need to step on the arch of your feet, pull your arms and waist, and wind them with the strength of your whole body. The rate of fire can't be compared with ordinary crossbows, and the mobility is not good, so Wang Jian didn't use them at first... However, their range and power should not be underestimated.

Jingyu immediately responded, retreating the hoplites and archers behind the first low slope. The catapult at the second low slope was also lowered in height and hidden behind the low slope. The crossbow could not shoot at his third low slope, but he could give orders from the third low slope. The archers and catapults in front of them do not need to aim, and can only follow his orders to throw and block the enemy.

Wang Jian had expected this. He threatened with a strong crossbow, not only to drive down the enemy's hoplites and archers, but also to protect against the cavalry hiding behind the low slope. The Qin army's charge began again, and even if it braved stones and archers, it would not stop. Then, a second trench emerges before the first low slope. The Qin army immediately laid the planks and continued the attack, rushing to the top of the low slope.
