General Qin

"Enemy attack!"

"Array up!"

As the guards standing sentry in the distance blew the horn, the Qin army did not panic. Under the command of generals at all levels, they immediately entered a state of facing the enemy.

The Yue people were good at fighting in the mountains and forests, while the Qin army was good at positional warfare.

If a fight breaks out in the woods, the Qin army will not be able to form a battle formation and will lose their advantage.

When Cao Shen and Han Xin chose a place to rest, they specifically selected a location with a large area of ​​flat land. Now this move has worked.

The Qin soldiers immediately left the forest and came to the flat open space on the side and began to arrange themselves according to their ranks and types of troops.

"The crossbow is in front, the spear and halberd are behind, and the machete is drawn out!"

Cao Shen stood on a big rock at the rear, looking far away from a high position for easy command.

Because the Qin soldiers patrolling the periphery issued a warning in advance, giving the Qin army time to react.

When the Yue people appeared from a distance, the Qin army of more than 4,000 people was basically in formation. The Qin soldiers were still a little nervous, but at least they were in their positions, and there was no chaos or panic.

"These Yue people are really barbarians. They don't even have military formations. They only know how to rush and kill in chaos. It's fine in the mountains and forests, but fighting in the plains, even if there are ten thousand of them, they will not be my opponent in the Qin army formation."

Han Xin looked at the Yue people approaching in the distance, his face showed confidence, and he was quite excited about the next battle.

War is a danger, and it is also a ladder for the Qin people to climb up.

At the same time, Xiang Ji, who was assigned to the right wing of the military formation for defense, saw a man wearing a green frog-shaped hat and gorgeous feathers appear among the Yue people in the distance.

This man was waving the wooden stick in his hand and shouting loudly, instructing the Yue people to charge.

"Is this guy the King of Xiou?"

Xiang Ji's eyes flashed with light.

He had always wanted to capture the leaders and nobles of Baiyue, so he was very concerned about this aspect. He once asked the Yue vassals in the army about the situation of other Yue tribes.

Xiang Ji knew that Xiou was dominated by frogs. People in Xiou worshiped frog totems, and the king of Xiou had a green frog-shaped hat among his costumes.

So the identity of the cuckold Ou man is very obvious.

"Han Xin led troops to capture the King of Nanyue before and was promoted to the rank of Fifth Grand Master. If I can catch the King of Xiou with my own hands or kill him on the spot, I will definitely be promoted to several levels of titles, and then I will be close to Zhao Tuo. Opportunity.”

Xiang Ji licked his lips and turned his head to ask Liu Bang and others to form their formation as soon as possible.

Although his idea was good, the military orders were overwhelming. Under the watchful eyes of the military and legal officials supervising the troops from behind, Xiang Ji could only suppress his restless heart and conscientiously carry out the defensive tasks assigned to him by his superiors.

Soon, those Ou people who rushed into the formation were approaching.

At this approach, the expressions of everyone in the Qin army changed slightly.

Because the colorful armors worn by these Ou people are almost the same as those worn by the Qin army, and the weapons they hold in their hands are also the Qin army's standard weapons.

"These are the weapons and armor that were captured by them after we were defeated!"

As a veteran who had lived in the mountains and forests of Xiou for more than two years, Peng Yue was familiar with the local conditions and was taken by his commander Cao Shen as a guide.

Now that he was standing at a high place, his eyes began to turn red when he saw the costumes of those Ou people.

When Cao Shen heard this, his expression was slightly moved.

Qin general Tu Sui conquered Baiyue and was defeated miserably. Not only did he lose tens of thousands of troops, but he also dumped a large number of Qin army's baggage in Yue territory, becoming the spoils of war for the Yue people.

A large number of weapons, armor, and even Qin crossbows and matching arrows all fell into the hands of the Yue people. They could be called a "transportation captain" who specially sent equipment to the Yue people.

Among them, the South Vietnamese took away a small part of the soldiers and armor, and took away the food left by the Qin people. Most of the equipment fell into the hands of the Ou people.

The warriors of Xiou put on the armor of the Qin people. Perhaps because they disliked the black color, they used plant juices and mineral pigments from the mountains and forests to paint and transform the black Qin armor into colorful colors. It looked very dazzling and irritating. It hurt the hearts of many Qin people.

The Ou people obtained the equipment of the Qin army, which further reduced the gap in combat power between the two sides and cast a shadow on the hearts of many Qin soldiers.

Fortunately, the commander-in-chief Cao Shen had the attitude of a general and was not affected by this incident. Facing the Yue people's surprise attack, he remained calm and composed and directed all his ministries to defend.

"shoot!"

The Qin army's crossbow arrows flew out in rows and shot down some Ou people.

But the overall effect was not very good, because the skirmisher formation used by these Ou people when charging, that is, each ran his own way and was scattered in all directions, causing many of the arrows fired by the Qin army to miss.

Cao Shen did not expect the crossbows to be very effective. After one round of shooting, he immediately asked the crossbowmen to retreat to the rear, and the infantry stepped forward to prepare for the next hand-to-hand battle.

Soon, the Ou people rushed to the Qin army's formation, and the two sides formally engaged in battle.

The Qin army formed a dense formation, with machetes in the front and spears and halberds in the back covering each other.

The Ou people rushed to the front of the Qin army's formation. The first thing they had to deal with was the spears and halberds poked by the Qin army's back row. If they were not careful, they would be stabbed through the body.

Some agile warriors of the Ou people avoided the spears and halberds of the Qin army and approached them. They were greeted by machetes that shone with cold light.

"Kill!"

An Ou warrior held a bronze sword captured from the Qin army in his hand. He swung it heroically and collided with the machete in the Qin soldier's hand.

There was a crisp sound.

The bronze sword was cut off neatly by the machete. The sharp blade split the sword and struck the shoulder and neck of the Ou warrior, creating a large gap.

With blood splattering, the Ou warrior stared at the blood-stained machete opposite him with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.

The bronze swords of the Qin army are hard currency among the tribes in Xi'ou. They are called sharp swords. The warriors of the Ou people who can get them will cherish them carefully and prepare to use these sharp blades to kill more in the next battle. There are many Qin people.

Unexpectedly, during the head-on confrontation between the two sides, the bronze sword valued by the Ou people was actually cut off by the Qin army's new weapon. This scene made many Ou people suddenly change their expressions.

"Your equipment is outdated!"

Behind the Qin army, Han Xin's lips curled up, and he admired his teacher even more.

During his tenure as Shaofu, Zhao Tuo developed steel-making technology, which greatly improved the quality of Qin's weapons.

In particular, this kind of machete, which is forged from hundreds of steel and is suitable for chopping, is much more lethal than a bronze sword. Compared with the two, they do not look like products of the same era.

There was no suspense in the outcome of the confrontation between the Bailian Steel Sword and the Bronze Sword.

The Ou people's skirmishing formation attacked the Qin army's intensive battle formation, coupled with the generation difference in weapons.

The entire offensive was like water hitting a rock, only splashing waves but not damaging the rock at all.

Alamo, the king of Xiou, who was at the rear, gritted his teeth and watched his people fall to the ground one by one, feeling as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

But it's all worth it.

The charge of the Xiou Yue people was not really to fight with the Qin people, but to serve as a bait.

"Come on, come on!"

"The giant elephant from Luo Yue will trample all these Qin people into pulp!"

The Alamo let out a low roar.

On the right side of the Qin army's battle formation, the roars of giant beasts sounded one after another in the forest.

"what is that!"

The Qin soldiers on the right wing were shocked and turned to look.

The earth was trembling, and a flock of birds fluttered in the forest.

More than a dozen giant beasts stepped out of the forest.

They had huge fangs, waving their long noses, and exhaled a fishy breath. Under the scolding of the Luo warriors on their backs, they moved their limbs and ran towards the Qin army.

The elephant soldiers charge into battle!
