C9 The battlefield of blood
"Generals, war chariot out, bow and arrow cover!" A messenger officer of the Wei Army rode on a horse and flew among the troops, waving the order flag and shouting.
"Roar!" Roar! "Roar!" The formation of Wei Army started to move, the growls in her throat sounded out, her morale was high, her blood and energy was strong, her killing intent strong.
The war chariot started to roll, causing creaking sounds to ring out, following that, the cavalrymen behind the war chariots prepared to charge forward, but at that moment, Chen Ling noticed from afar, the equipment of the Wei Army's army was extremely thick and fine, all refined metal Armour's weapons.
At the beginning of the Warring States Era, iron weapons were gradually being used as a weapon. At that time, the metallurgical centers of the world were all in Han Wei, while the countries of Wei were dominated by the development of weaponsmithing. The Wei Army used iron weapons as substitutes for bronze weapons, which was known as the sharp armor of the Wei Army.
The soldiers selected for martial arts training in Wei were all heavy infantry, wearing heavy armor, holding a spear with a sword, carrying a crossbow on their back, and straddling the Sagittarius Bag. It could be said that they were well-equipped and armed to the teeth. It could be seen that without the support of the powerful metallurgical industry and weapons manufacturing, it would be difficult to imagine them being so heavily armed.
Anyone who had gained land would have the danger of having mountains and rivers as well as the prosperity of goods and materials. Wei was located in the Central Plains and was not in the danger of having mountains and rivers.
The country of Wei carried out military reform earlier, and established a standing army with elite soldiers as the core.
The level of the Wei Army was dark, the division of labor was clear, and there were a large number of people. Although after the battle at Ma Ling, they were defeated by Tian Ji and Sun Bin, causing the Wei Army to lose their position as the hegemon of the Central Plains, during the period of the King Wei Xiang, Wei still had two hundred thousand soldiers (Heavy Infantry soldiers);
The Wei Army's elite soldiers were customized for each generation. Dressed in heavy armor, holding a spear and a sword, Wei Wu carried a crossbow with 12 years of age, carrying 50 crossbow bolts in his crossbow sack and three days of rations. He could walk a hundred miles in half a day.
As for the people before Chen Ling seized the body, they were the light infantry that were forcibly recruited temporarily, not the main force and elites of the Wei Army.
Dong Zhiqi brandished the long sword in his hand, and the chariots and heavy armors instantly surged forth like a tide. The ox-skin drum resounded through the horizon, and the three hundred chariots, one thousand armored riders, and three thousand armored cavalrymen were not one bit inferior to the Qin Army's black armoured elite cavalrymen.
Gan Mao pointed his sword up into the sky. Immediately, the soldiers started to hit the shield with their weapons rhythmically, the long hilt poking the ground. At the same time, they shouted, "Breaking Wind! Wind Break! "Break the wind!"
With crossbows, they blocked the Wei Army. Fan Zi Huai and Zhan Xiong followed the orders and led ten thousand elite black armored riders to charge into the chariot formation, Tu Gang and Chen Dong led thirty thousand light armored riders to the back, Zhang Dong and Gong Liang led three thousand light armored riders to wait for the end of the battle.
"Hey!"
"Crossbow archer, get ready …" Shoot! "
Once the order was given, the flag was waved and ten thousand crossbows were shot out by the archers. Countless crossbows came pouring down in a torrential torrent, filling the sky with a rain of arrows.
As soon as they rushed out of the array, they were immediately covered by the crossbow arrows. Hualala, the crossbow bolts struck the shaft of the carriage, along with the hood of the carriage and the rest of the carriage. Some of the riders and soldiers on the carriage were struck by the arrows, but they did not stop the attacks of the Wei Army, as the archers in front of the array of the Wei Army did so as well.
At this time, the black armored cavalry under the cover of the crossbow arrows also rushed out of the array, sprinting towards the battlefield at a very fast speed. Until they were almost ready to fight, the dense rain of arrows from the Wei Army were like locusts pouncing towards them.
In the next moment, Qin Army's Black Armored Cavalry and Wei Guo's chariot camps clashed with each other, arrows shot out rapidly, horses galloped, and the Red and Black Army clashed with each other. Following that, a loud explosion occurred and the chariots and horses clashed with each other, and it was as if two gigantic waves had converged together in the middle of a huge wave.
"KILL KILL KILL!"
On the battlefield, the soldiers of both sides clashed completely. From time to time, people would be killed, singled out, stabbed to death, and the battlefield would be filled with blood and flesh. Everyone was desperately trying to extinguish this life.
Blood splattered everywhere, limbs flew everywhere, heads rolled around, and headless corpses spurted blood. The ones that were risking their lives to kill just a moment ago were probably a pile of meat paste under the hooves of a horse.
This was a tough battle. The final outcome would depend on the strength of both sides, as well as their morale.
This was the first time in Chen Ling's life that he had seen such a huge battle. It was entirely a battle between cold weapons, a fierce battle, and one after another, lives were harvested one after another like worthless grass.
When he was standing at the top of the hill and looking back, he faintly felt the sound of footsteps and armor not far behind him, not to mention the sound of the Wei Army Armor Guard's inspection. Suspicion rose in his heart, he turned around and saw a black line protruding from the path on the hillside. This black line was made up of human figures, all of them black armored warriors, and even their cloaks were black.
"Qin Soldier! Not good, Qin Soldier wants a sneak attack. " Chen Ling immediately reacted.
He was in the vicinity of the Wounded Barracks, and the fodder and fodder camp was just in front of the Wounded Barracks. From bottom to top, the entire hillside was divided into the front camp, middle camp, fodder camp, and horn camp.
Just as Chen Ling turned around, one of the Black Armored Eagle Guard scouts also noticed him and shot a cold arrow at him.
Whoosh.
Chen Ling secretly cursed: "Not good!"
Fortunately, he had been training nonstop for the past two months, and his agility had increased greatly. Relying on his agility, he easily dodged the cold arrow, and jumped into the grass, rolling and jumping.
"We've been discovered by the Wei Bing Guards."
"Eh, this guard is really fast!"
With us five hundred Black Armored Eagle Guard, infiltrating the enemy camp is not a problem, not to mention burning food. Everyone, prepare the oil bottles and charge into the Wei Army food camp with killing intent.
"Attack, tear apart the Wei Army's defensive line …"
The Eagle Guard looked down on everyone, and the leader took out his sword, and took the lead to rush forward.
When the Wei Army's guards heard Chen Ling's shout, they immediately increased their vigilance. Upon discovering the Qin Army, they blew their horn, and the soldiers guarding in the back started to gather, stopping the Qin Army from launching a sneak attack.
Chen Ling ran back to posterior camp and retrieved an iron sword from an idle weapon rack. With a face full of viciousness, he spat out and said ruthlessly: "If you dare to sneak attack us, with Master Chen here, we will make sure that none of you will return!"
