The Qin army, which had just crossed the low slope and breathed a sigh of relief, immediately faced the attack of arrows from below. Immediately afterwards, the shouts of killing sounded, and the heavy armored infantry of the Chu State, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, met them and killed them. Quickly entangled with the Qin army in close quarters~ entangled, so that the strong crossbow in the rear of the Qin army could not play an effect.

Bows, arrows, and stones were still pouring down, but they couldn't stop the Qin army from continuously attacking the low slopes. Subsequently, more Chu troops also joined the battle. The entire slope top about three meters wide and hundreds of meters long became a meat grinder, and soldiers from Qin and Chu fell to the ground and died every moment.

After this first low slope, Jingyu placed 20,000 Chu State foot soldiers. Whenever the infantry of the Chu State in front of the battle was tired, they would use the infantry in the rear to make up for it. The infantry in front of them would fight and retreat, attracting the Qin army to the back of the low slope. In this way, the infantry of the Chu army, which had just rushed up, was never threatened by the Qin army's strong crossbows.

There are more than 300,000 people here in the Qin State, and the intensity of the attack can be imagined. The Chu army was able to resist the attack of the Qin army in this early stage, one was that the width on this low slope was limited, so that the Qin army could not use too many troops and horses; The other is aided by archers and catapults. The alternating rotation and infrequent shooting allowed the archers to retain more stamina. After dozens of rounds of shooting, the attack of bows and arrows did not stop.

The second 10,000-strong squad of the Qin army was repulsed, and the third 10,000-man squad rushed up the low slope with a shout after the war drums were beating. Such an attack obviously did not want to give the Chu army any rest. After a while, the archers of the Chu State will inevitably be weak, and at that time, the attacks of the Qin army will only become more ferocious.

In the rear of the Qin army, Wang Jian found the Qin soldiers who retreated from the low slope and asked, "After the low slope, is there any cavalry of the Chu State?" "

"I haven't seen any horses." The soldier replied, and the others nodded.

Meng Tian, who was riding a horse and following Wang Qian, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Didn't he make a mistake this time?" Without cavalry guards, if our cavalry charges, wouldn't we be able to completely wipe out those Chu troops. I don't believe that there will be too many people left behind in his broken army. After the second low slope and the third low slope, there will be no more combat power than this first low slope. "

The first low slope is the key to the outcome of this battle. If the Qin army takes the first low slope, the strong crossbowmen can move to the top of the slope and directly threaten the third low slope. At that time, no one will be able to stay at the top of the third low slope, and the soldiers and horses hidden behind the second low slope will be equivalent to becoming 'blind'. Moreover, a small number of catapults will lose their power without the assistance of archers.

"Hahaha... So, General Meng, would you like to lead the cavalry to charge the Chu army's position? Wang Jian asked with a chuckle, with an inexplicable glint in his eyes.

Meng Tian shook his head, "The opponent is him, he won't make such a mistake." I think there must have been something after the first low slope that kept him from having to place cavalry. "

Wang Jian nodded, "I think so too." Let's attack for a while and see, the archers of the Chu State will have no strength. "

His words were quickly fulfilled, and after more than a dozen rounds of bow and arrow attacks, the shooting frequency of the archers of the Chu State became much slower. It used to be rotated every second, but now, it only shoots once every ten seconds. At this time, the new 10,000-strong team of the Qin army charged forward. In the opinion of Wang Jian and Meng Tian, this 10,000-strong team should be able to capture the top of the slope.

However, the response on the Chu army's side has also changed. The hoplites who had been lowering their bodies to meet the enemy in order to avoid being attacked by crossbows suddenly all withdrew.

Wang Jian and Meng Tian glanced at each other, and both of them realized that it was not good. It's just that the Qin army hasn't encountered that 'bad' yet, and they don't know what it is. If the Qin army was withdrawn like this, wouldn't it have been unknown all along... The two of them had to bite the bullet and continue to watch.

When the infantry rushed into range of the catapult, the catapult attack resumed. It's just that this time it was fragile pottery... It seemed to contain some kind of liquid, which shattered and spilled onto the ground and the soldiers. The soil of the low slope was already photographed, and it was repeatedly trampled by the army. After the liquid spilled, it did not penetrate the ground, but slowly flowed down the ramp. A soldier stepped on it, and all at once it slipped.

"Oh no, that's oil!"

Wang Jian immediately understood, and just wanted to order the 10,000-strong team to retreat and fly out from behind the first low slope. In just an instant, one side of the low slope turned into a sea of fire, enveloping the entire front half of the 10,000-person team. The screams of the Qin army sounded, and the soldiers behind the 10,000-strong team began to run back without even saying hello.

The catapult continued to throw two pots of oil and earthenware, drawing more Qin soldiers into the flames, and forcing the Qin army's attack to halt temporarily.

"That guy really has a lot of means." Through the black smoke above the sea of fire and the distorted air of hot gas, Meng Tian looked at Jingyu sitting on a war horse under the banner of the word 'dragon' on the third low slope.

If it's just oil, it won't take long for the oil to go out. However, there were quite a few corpses on the slope, and Meng Tian couldn't expect them to burn out as soon as possible. However, if the fire is not extinguished, it will burn for a long time and it will be equivalent to giving the Chu army behind the low slope time to rest. Moreover, the next attack may also face an attack by fire oil cans. Not only will the troops be lost, but the attack will continue to be blocked.

"The key now is how many canisters of fire oil he has prepared." His brows furrowed slightly, "It's winter now, the soil is frozen hard, and the efficiency of digging to cover the fire is probably not high." Does the marshal have a good way to deal with it? "

"Although it's a little early, there is only one way to use the Gongyi family's machine beast here." Wang Jian ordered to a communication general beside him: "Go and ask Mr. Gongyi to send out the trap beast to help me break the formation." "

There are also catapults for the male losers. However, the catapult focused on its power, and the boulder it threw was more than four meters in diameter, and it could not be transported through the first trench at all. However, with the first trench, catapults could not threaten the first low slope that was still behind the second trench.

"The marshal doesn't need to be summoned, the revenge of the public has come." An old voice sounded behind Wang Jian and Meng Tian's mounts. The two of them turned their mounts slightly, facing to the side, and saw a tall and thin old man with his back on his back.

He had a somewhat flattering smile on his face, which didn't make it look better. The top of the head is slightly sharpened and bare, with a small bristle of white hair on the back of the head. The left eye socket is painted with heavy color, even extending all the way to the top of the head. His lips were beardless, and he had a small white beard on his chin, which he was gently twisting with his intact right hand. On the left hand is a mechanical arm, as well as a foot under the purple robe, as well as a mechanical structure.

"The details have been learned below." He said: "I just saw that a lot of planks were moved out of the camp, and out of curiosity, without the permission of the marshal, I came to watch the battle... I ask for your pardon for this. He arched his hand.

"Well said." Wang Jian smiled slightly, "Mr. Gongyi, can your trap beast break through this Chu army's defensive position?" "

"It's not the first time that I've followed the marshal to attack other countries, and although the marshal is a nobleman, he must still have some impressions." There was a bit of arrogance on the face of the public defeater, "Breaking the ground Saburo, invincible." "

"It's so good, the old man is here waiting for Mr. Gong to take a big credit." Wang Jian turned his horse and headed towards the Chu army's position, "If Mr. Gongyi is interested, how about watching the battle with the old man here?" "

"It's for the best." The public lost the revenge and then rushed to Wang Jian and gave his hand, "Thank you Marshal." "

Gong Defeat took a few steps towards Wang Jian and Meng Tianma, and said: "Marshal, these three low slopes are not conducive to the march of the army, and they are all destroyed, it doesn't matter, right?" "

"Hahaha... If you can do it, please just play it. Wang Jian laughed.

In the distance, Jingyu, who has amazing eyesight, sees the appearance of the public defeat, especially his mechanical hand. Although he has no impression of his appearance, after coming to this world, he still has some understanding of the domineering tricks of the Gongyi family. Without thinking about it, he ordered the Chu army hidden behind the first low slope to retreat to the second low slope.

In fact, on both sides of the second low slope, there are some arcs deliberately built. The army between it and the first low slope could have quietly retreated from these two to behind the second low slope. Even the cavalry can suddenly kill from these two places to meet the enemy who is attacking from the first low slope.

It's just that the 20,000 infantry troops, plus 6,000 archers, can't retreat much faster.

At this time, the left flank of the Qin army behind the first trench quickly retreated back to open up its position. At the same time, the horn of the Qin army's attack blew. The rumbling sound was clearly heard by Jingyu and the others at the top of the third low slope.

"Look, what's that?" A soldier beside him pointed to the rear of the left flank of the Qin army and exclaimed.

I saw that there seemed to be an earth dragon under the ground, arching the soil high, and quickly rushed towards the first low slope from a distance. Before reaching the first trench, it emerges from under the ground. When it reached the air, people saw that it was clearly a thick and huge steel wheel. Eight sharp saber-toothed saber-toothed teeth were evenly distributed on the wheel surface, constantly rotating.

Then, suddenly, it took a jaw-dropping change. It changes from the shape of a round wheel to a huge steel pangolin with saber teeth on its back. Jump off the ground and crawl fast on all fours. When he reached the edge of the trench, he jumped straight over.

It wasn't until it passed through the second trench that it changed into a saber-toothed wheel and slammed directly into the first low slope. Between the spins of the saber teeth, like a chainsaw, it forced a huge gap like a 'canyon' in the middle of the first low slope that was still burning.

It entered the middle of the first and second slopes, and on the side shafts of the wheel, large red round eyes appeared. It was as if a terrifying beast was spying on the nearly 20,000 Chu soldiers on both sides who had not yet had time to withdraw.
