The performance of the battle before Hangu Pass this morning was also reported to the coalition commander Sun Bin by Qi Guo Mengchangjun Tianwen who had been supervising the battle in the rear.
As soon as the news came out, in addition to the coalition chief Sun Bin, people like Army Master Su Qin, Chunshen Jun Huang Xie and Xinling Jun Wei Wuji all laughed.
Not only the high-level coalition forces, but also the general coalition generals and scholars from various countries raised their heads when they heard about the news, which frustrated the morale of the Qin army, and felt that they had made a profit this time.
Although Sun Bin did not say a word, he was not unhappy in his heart.
After all, Sun Bin had argued with Shang Yang in Jixia Academy, and he naturally understood Shang Yang's talents.
Coupled with Qin's performance in the Hexi Wars and the wars of the Three Jins, Sun Bin began to pay attention to and study Qin, the former small country in the west.
After so many years, Sun Bin's understanding of Qin may even be worse than some Qin generals and officials of Qin.
Therefore, Sun Bin knew how difficult it was for Qin State to deal with and how fierce the Qin army was in battle.
Under the leadership of three generals including Tuo, the coalition can achieve this record and it can be called quite good.
Knowing that the three generals Tai Tuo, Ni Liang, and Wang Liao had achieved such a record, the coalition forces were all excited, because they all saw the shadow of defeating Qin.
But Sun Bin, the coalition coach, only said indifferently: "Pass the order, and give the three generals another 200,000 more troops!"
Hearing that the coach ordered, no one was shocked.
Add another 200,000 troops to the three generals. Isn't the coach planning to take down Hangu Pass today?
But think about it, the main force of the Qin army is rushing towards Hangu Pass day and night, and it may be there when it will arrive. The sooner you can win Hangu Pass, the better.
Ideas belong to ideas, and everyone agrees with Sun Bin, a coalition commander who combines prestige and wisdom.
Without any hesitation, Jun Tianwen Mengchang once again dispatched 200,000 coalition troops to reinforce Ni Liang and others.
And this time Tian Wen also added another 50,000 Qi army to form the headquarters after a total of 100,000 Qi army to supervise the battle.
...
"attack!"
With an order from Tuo, the more than 300,000 coalition forces under Hangu Pass all lined up in six square formations.
Each phalanx is composed of more than 60,000 coalition soldiers. In each phalanx, there are countless crossbowmen, shieldmen, swordsmen and swordsmen, and a series of arms are complete. Under the leadership of the coalition generals, they began to fight Wheel tactics to attack Hangu Pass.
The sound of war drums and horns sounded again, the sound of the army shouting to kill again, and a new battle started from this moment.
"General, can I use the first killer move?"
Seeing that there are more than twice as many coalition forces below as early in the morning, it is false to say that it is not worried.
Gan Mao directly requested the chief general Wang Xun to use his first assassin, hoping to inflict huge damage on the coalition forces.
"Do not!"
I saw Wang Lu also looked solemn, but waved his hand to reject Gan Mao's request.
"Don't panic, wait a while, wait a while..."
Gan Mao looked at Wang Lu's calm and relaxed look, and was almost anxious in his heart, wishing to bring the sword to Hangu Pass and fight with the coalition forces.
"boom!"
The ladder once again set up Hangu Pass. Although the two armies did not fight face to face, it was even more crazy in this way.
Because I looked at the enemy army on the wall, but I couldn't help it.
It is exactly that the crossbowmen of the two armies are fighting the soldiers who feel that they want to kill the other side but can’t feel depressed.
The idea of ​​dying at any time flashes in everyone's mind.
In particular, the coalition soldiers who attacked Hangu Pass, stepping on the tired corpses of their own army, were on the verge of collapse at any time.
Therefore, the offense and defense of Hangu is not just as simple as the defensive operations and offensive operations of the Qin army and the coalition forces.
It was a struggle between Qin and the world about willpower.
Everyone is crazy inside, and they have completely reached the point of killing red eyes. How can the battle be so tragic?
"Quick, quick, take one person to go there, take one person to go here, we must not make a gap in the defense line of the tower."
...
"All the centurions are obedient, and all the centurions and their corporals must stick to every part of the tower."
...
"Asshole, what do you do for food? A few coalition soldiers attacked, and immediately led me to drive these coalition soldiers off."
...
Generals of the Qin army, such as Wang Lu and Gan Mao, were constantly walking back and forth on the Hangu Pass tower, commanding the Qin army's defensive operations.
"Gan Mao, launch the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array!"
At this moment, watching the first wave of offensive coalition forces, in addition to dropping countless corpses, just retreating and the second wave of coalition forces handover, Wang Lu decisively activated his first killer move for the coalition forces.
"No, the army is ready to launch the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array!"
Gan Mao took the command, and then ran down Hangu Pass, and after arriving at the city wall below Hangu Pass, he directed the activation of the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array.
I saw that behind the wall of Hangu Pass, nearly 20,000 Qin army soldiers were here.
And every or several Qin army generals placed in front of them what seemed to be some kind of mysterious objects, but they were all covered by white cloth.
Following Gan Mao's order, countless Qin army generals uncovered the white cloth in front of them, revealing the objects under the white cloth.
After the white cloth was torn apart, countless large single-soldier crossbows and heavy bed crossbows appeared one after another.
These heavy bed crossbows and large single-armed crossbow weapons all exude a rough and savage atmosphere, and the lonely and bright huge crossbow arrows are even more chilling.
"These are all weapons of the battlefield made by my Qin craftsmen day and night, I hope I don't let this general down!"
Wang Lu, who was looking at these terrifying killing weapons upstairs in Hangu Pass, was also satisfied.
These bows and crossbows were ordered by King Qin Yingji, and the heavy weapons and equipment made by Qin Jianfang Xingye for the defenders of Hangu Pass.
When Wang Lu received this large number of heavy weapons, an idea suddenly emerged in his mind.
That is, the heavy weapons and equipment shipped from the country and the strong bows and crossbows sealed in Hangu Pass specially formed a long-range strike force, and formed a heavenly crossbow arrow array, achieving the effect of all arrows at once.
And in this crossbow army, which is mainly equipped with strong bows and crossbows, it needs nearly 20,000 Qin soldiers to fully control it.
In the crossbow army, there are about five hundred heavy bed crossbows and about 1,500 normal bed crossbows.
There are about 6,000 large crossbows, which far exceeds the size of the strong crossbow battalion formed when Wang Xiaojie led the Anxi Army to conquer the northwestern grasslands.
Among them, the weakest crossbow can reach a range of 400 steps, which can be regarded as a long-range strike.
That's why Wang Lu kept hiding the crossbow army in his hand until now.
It was because Wang Lu wanted to inflict huge casualties on the coalition forces in a sudden attack.
At this moment, the first wave of coalition forces and the second wave of troops are at the intersection of retreat and offensive. The strength of the coalition forces is the most dense, and there are probably no less than 100,000.
If he took advantage of such a good opportunity to launch the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array, Wang Lu believed that the terrible casualties caused by the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array would surely make the coalition suffer enough.
It is not impossible to even leave tens of thousands of coalition soldiers at once.
