The sun was scorching, and the Wen River surging. The battle on the south bank of the river lasted for several miles. After a brief contact between the two armies, the soldiers of Qi and Zhao on other fronts also began a tentative confrontation.

At the beginning of the battle, the Zhao army, which had been "invincible" in the past few years, did not gain a comprehensive advantage. Indeed, the military discipline of the military soldiers was stricter and better equipment, but Zhao Wuxiu brought only 5,000 elite military soldiers here, and the rest were recruited soldiers. He would not throw them in from the beginning. At the beginning, some so-called "filling the gully" people were sent: new soldiers who had been trained for half a year after the recruitment in Hanoi, part of the Song army, and the Lu soldiers in Qufu. Only when they weaken the enemy's front line can the elite soldiers be achieved overnight...

These people were replicas of the Wu Zu, and they fought with the Qi army for half a dozen times. Some of the fronts were even in decline because their square formation had to advance with the Qi army's strong bow.

There were too many archers in Qi people, more than 10,000 people, using a bow made of hyperbolic horn tendon from the east, distributed behind twenty car bases, constantly pulling strings and opening the bow, releasing towards the Zhao army's front. The arrows were like rain. Even though the Zhao army's defense was good, each wave would take dozens of lives, causing more people to be injured and fearful.

The Zhao army counterattacked fiercely, and crossbows lined up in three to five rows on the flank were also continuously firing, but they were far less effective than bows and arrows in shooting.

The Zhao army also had archers. hundreds of archers from Lu were led by Yan Gao to shoot hard. Unfortunately, they blocked the thick Qi army formation with the enemy. Most of the bows and crossbows were nailed to the bodies of the enemy infantry, or the large oars in their hands. The farthest shots were blocked by the carts. The jingle of iron arrows and hardwoods collided constantly, but screams rarely came out of it.

Yan Gao's arms were a little sore. Facing Che Lei, he felt helpless. As an old archer who had served in the Lu Army many times, he was not unfamiliar with this kind of thing.

There is no doubt that since the ignorance of eating raw meat and drinking blood, bows and arrows have played a huge role in early wars. Arrows that pounced on the enemy like locusts often cause terrible casualties to the opponents. However, with the emergence of fortifications, the role of individual crossbows to deal with them has been weakened accordingly. For example, at present, the crossbows of Zhao's army cannot shoot through the heavy Qi people's oars, and cannot destroy the cover surrounded by chariots.

The Qi people just hid behind the barrier and weakened the Zhao army from their heads with a strong bow, and then let the infantry holding the spear and halberd launch a counterattack. The long-range firepower was not as good as the opponent, which made the Zhao army fall into a slight passiveness.

When Yan Gao thought about it, if he wanted to break the enemy's cart, he would be afraid that he would use the Yanya Rocket like the Battle of Qinshui. However, this was an open field, not a camp with combustible materials piled up everywhere. In addition, the enemy was backing the river, so it was very convenient to obtain water, so it was difficult to burn the enemy's formation.

Not to mention that the wind direction is not right today, the breeze blows along the river valley.

What should I do? Yan Gao frowned and thought hard. As a grassroots brigade commander, he could not know the overall situation and those secret weapons that were secret. He was just given orders by Zhao Wuxiu, and he only needed to execute orders.

"Continue shooting! If you believe in the general, there will be a solution!" Yan Gaoneng felt the hesitation of the young crossbowmen around him. He knew that suspicion and hesitation were poisons that caused the morale of the army. The Zhao army's offensive was blocked, and they now needed an exciting miracle!

A miracle really happened.

Yan Gao gritted his teeth and took another arrow in his hand. He was about to raise his head and arch, but he was shocked to find that something was flying over the heads of the two armies fighting fiercely! Yan Gao grew up like many crossbowmen who saw this scene, and just watched the thing smash directly into the chariot of Qi people about a hundred steps in front!

...

"The Zhao army is just like this." Standing behind the safe chariot, Xian Shi squinted his eyes to observe the battle situation, and turned around and smiled to encourage the archers.

In general, the newly rising doctors of Qi surrounded the two families of Chen and Bao, while the descendants of the Jiang princes of the Xian family surrounded the country and wandered around.

Xian Shi is a typical example. He is the son of Xian Zhang, a doctor of Qi State, and a noble family member. This time, the country's southern expedition, he served as a good man in the army. He had a thousand archers under his command, all of whom were recruited from the territory and surrounding cities. These people were not good at close combat, but they were skilled in bows and arrows. They rely on the chariots and had already shot a Zhao Bing who was trying to rush over with shields as a cover and had to retreat.

"The Imperial College is the Imperial College. It can help our army play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. If it is more than archery, no one in the world can stand against the Qi army! "In Xianshi's view, the Imperial College's tactics this time are undoubtedly correct. They will definitely be able to repel the Zhao army smoothly, and then cross the river calmly to fulfill the Imperial College's promise: to take the soldiers home!

However, at this moment, he suddenly found that there was a black dot in the sky ahead. The black dot became bigger and bigger, and flew towards them in a daze!

In the blink of an eye, no one had time to react. Then, a pebble that was half the size of a head hit the edge of the cart!

Xian Shi felt that the car, which was more than ten steps away from him, was hit violently, and then the car was broken and the wheel axle was broken, and the whole car collapsed in front of him! He also crushed the Qi soldiers who were squatting beside him and wanted to avoid Zhao Jun's bow and arrow.

"What happened...what happened..." Xian Shi was stunned, and with the archers Qi beside him, they were all stunned. A flying stone suddenly fell from the sky from the sky, which was something that the old man could not explain.

"Is there a strong man like Gao Xuanzi in the enemy formation who was able to throw flying stones to hurt the enemy?" After a while, Xian Shi finally found an explanation and smiled dryly to the subordinates next to him, asking the archers to continue to return to their positions and shoot arrows.

What he didn't know was that at the central military position, Gao Wupi, who was a descendant of Gao Gu, was also staring at the stone flying into the cart in the distance, and that it caused a small riot.

"Here comes again..." The head coach Guoxia said something pale and suddenly said something. Gao Wupi was about to ask what he came again, but he looked up, but he couldn't say a word.

Not only Guoxia, Gao Wupi, Xianshi and archers in the chelu, and even Qi and Zhao soldiers on the battlefield could see clearly. Dozens of black dots broke through the air again and bombarded the place where the first stone just fell!

...

"It's over!"

Looking at the increasingly bigger black dots in front of him, these two words flashed through Xian Shi's heart, and he was immediately knocked down by the personal soldiers next to him.

The river sand entered his eyes, and it hurt so much that he could only lie on the ground with his head covered, not moving. All he could hear was the loud noise and shock of impact, as well as screams, wails, broken walls of the car, and the sound of bones breaking...

When he opened his eyes again, Xianshi was already in a mess, and there were screams of help everywhere. When he turned around, he was startled by the horrific scene. The body of the soldier who had knocked Xianshi was still there, but his head disappeared. He was hit by a flying stone and the part above his shoulder was gone, and the part above his shoulder was gone, becoming a ball of paste in the distance. The stone wrapped in his flesh and blood was inlaid into the sand. The red and white objects stained on it looked extremely ferocious, making people avoid it.

He stood up and looked around in confusion. Xianshi found that the carport had collapsed several large gaps. Some Qi people around him, who were frightened by flying stones from the sky, walked around the carport without any purpose, screaming in despair, and throwing the bows and arrows on the ground in a mess. Such a terrible thing happened. Who has the heart to start a arch to fight?

His car was finished, and although there were not many casualties, everyone was frightened by the last attack. Xian Shi's previous evaluation of Zhao Jun's "this is the case" had long been replaced by panic and uneasy...

He was in tears. This was definitely not something that a strong man could throw, but it was like the work of a ghost!

...

Xian Shi was still confused about where he had been attacked, but Guo Xia, who had looked at the overall situation in the Central Military Office, saw it clearly.

The stones just now did not fall from the sky, but from the river bank behind the Zhao army's phalanx. Dozens of stone bullets of two to ten kilograms were shot out from there, drawing a death arc and then hitting the cart on the front. For a moment, many parts of the cart collapsed, dust flew, and countless pieces of broken wood rose into the air and fell like raindrops.

Regardless of the screams of the people, the horses who were taken to the side to watch after unloading the chariot were also neighing, and the scene in front of them frightened them. One of them was even more terrified. One of them had deviated from the target and hit a unlucky horse. The head of the horse instantly collapsed, the skull was smashed into pieces, and the horse's head was beaten to one side. The horse spit out two mouthfuls of blood, and the four hooves softened at the same time. The body fell forward according to inertia. When he fell to the ground, the four hooves had already started to spasm, and the horse ran away and scattered, disrupting a gathering array.

The people of Qi were in a state of confusion. The soldiers who could see this scene on the Qi army's front were already shocked by this sudden dramatic change. The generals and officials tried their best to suppress them to stay in place again.

In fact, it was not only them, but even the always calm commander Guoxia had some fluctuations.

"This is a weapon that has never been mentioned in the art of war, and it is also a weapon that I have never seen before. It is simply a wonder that can only appear in the myth of the battle between Huangdi and Chiyou..."

At least when Taigong and Sima Rangju were narrating the art of war, they would never have thought that they would encounter such weapons on their backs, and they would not be able to write down a solution.

The place where the stones were bombarded was hundreds of steps away from Guoxia, but it was shocked that his heart was beating wildly. From such a distance, he could feel the earth and mountains on the other side of the cart. The power can only be experienced by oneself.

"It's something that Zhao army used when capturing Chaoge. It can fly stones more than a hundred steps away. I thought they could not carry such a bulky equipment and could only be used for siege. It seems that I was careless..."

Guoxia took a few deep breaths and explained this to Gao Wupi who was stunned. He knew that he must not be in chaos now. If it was in chaos, the Qi people would really be wiped out here!

Gao Wupi swallowed, nodded heavily, and took the initiative to drive to the site where the incident was happening to maintain order.

"Be careful, Zhao's army will never only conduct one attack..."

Although the calmness was restored on the surface, Guoxia, Gao Wupi, and all the Qi people, the sense of security and confidence brought by the Chelilu and the strong bow were also shattered while the Chelilu was broken.

After the mysterious new weapon appeared on the river bank, no one was safe on the battle formation anymore. The way of war will undergo drastic changes starting today!
