Chapter 360 The war drums rumble
On the east bank of Jingshui River, a large-scale fortress is standing.
Since the Wei general Pang Juan led his army to arrive here, 150,000 Wei troops have built a camp here to confront the Qin army on the other side across the water.
It's just that in the past few days, although the Wei army has repeatedly sent small groups to test, there has been no sign of a large army attacking.
Gradually, everyone's eyes focused on the Chinese army tent, wondering what General Pang Juan was waiting for?
A gust of breeze blew up the red Wei flag erected above the camp. Under the flag was a Wei soldier who walked slowly past.
The halberd held in the hand, the armor worn on the body, and the slight coldness on the body all revealed the eliteness of these Wei soldiers.
In the strict atmosphere created by this group's patrols, the Chinese army's tent located at the core of the Wei army's camp seemed particularly peaceful.
Time passed by minute by second, and no one knew how long it had passed. Pang Juan, the general in red robe, slowly put down the silk book in his hand.
His expression did not change due to the content on it, and Pang Juan looked at a middle-aged general sitting on the seat below.
"Our army has fought with the Qin army more than ten times this time. Although most of them were just a brief test, we can also get a glimpse of the Qin army's combat power."
"General Long Jia has guarded Hexi for many years. He often clashed with the Qin army in the past. I wonder what General Long Jia thinks?"
Long Jia was ordered by Wei Marquis Wei Feng to return to the front line of the war against Qin. He served as the deputy general of General Pang Juan for only half a month.
It's not that Wei Feng, who is in Anyi, has distrust of the frontline commander Pang Juan, but considering that Long Jia has resisted the Qin army for many years, he will be more confident in the battle against Qin with his help.
Long Jia, who was sitting at the table, heard Pang Juan's inquiry and subconsciously recalled every detail of his confrontation with the Qin army.
"General, I think that the Qin army in the past was more than powerful, but it was difficult to enforce the orders and prohibitions. In addition, the Qin army's armor and soldiers are old, so it will not be difficult for our army to win the battle."
"Looking at the Qin army today..."
As he spoke, Long Jia's mind began to reappear in the Qin army he had seen these days.
"I have heard that the Qin State followed our Wei State's reforms for several years. I am afraid that the rest will be difficult to detect. In terms of the combat power of this army, I will not think..."
Standing up directly from his seat, Long Jia faced Pang Juan above with a cautious look on his face, "The Qin army's combat power is no longer what it used to be. The general must not take it lightly."
Looking quietly at Long Jia in front of him, Pang Juan was also very alert to the opponent he was about to confront.
Perhaps at the beginning of the war, Pang Juan still looked down upon the Qin army in front of him;
But after this trial and error, Pang Juan already understood that the opponent he faced was by no means an opponent that could be defeated easily.
As Long Jia said, the Qin Army today is indeed not comparable to the Qin Army back then.
only……
As the thoughts in his mind flowed, Pang Juan's eyes fell on the silk book in his hand again, and a hint of confidence emerged from the corner of his mouth.
The outcome of a war is not only determined by the two warring parties, but changes in the overall situation may affect the direction of the war.
In the battlefield confrontation with the main force of the Qin army, Pang Juan had already taken the advantage before the battle began. There was only one thing he had to do next.
Using the long sword in his hand, he guided his soldiers and used a real decisive battle to completely break the backbone of the Qin State and the Qin Army.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Pang Juan couldn't help but recall Wei Feng's great trust before setting off for the expedition.
"Your Majesty, Pang Juan will definitely live up to your Majesty and the Kingdom of Wei."
The Chinese army's tent fell into silence again because of Pang Juan. At this moment, a report sounded outside the tent.
"Report..."
"Reporting to the general, the Qin army has sent a letter of war, and our army is scheduled to fight in Jingshui in three days."
"General." When the deputy general Long Jia heard this report, his eyes were full of shock.
Pang Juan, who was sitting behind the desk, slowly stood up and took the letter of war from the soldier's hand, which was written by Qin Gong Ying Quliang himself.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"If you want to fight, then fight!"
Pang Juan suddenly grasped the letter of challenge in the palm of his hand, with a look of solemnity on his face.
"General Longjia!"
"The end is here!"
"Beat the drum and gather the generals!"
"Here."
…
"Dong dong dong..."
The passionate drumbeats brought the pace of war, and the long horns ignited the raging flames of war in the hearts of the soldiers on the battlefield.
As both sides of this battle, the Qin Army wanted to defeat the main force of the Wei Army facing them and return to Yongdu as soon as possible; the Wei Army also wanted the main force of the Qin Army opposite to complete the strategic goals set before the war.
This is destined to be a head-to-head battle, with not many ingenious plans and ups and downs.
On the battlefield where black and red faced each other, under the large banner with the word Wei written on it, Pang Juan looked at the Qin army's formation in the distance.
On the black plain, the war horses kept neighing, the soldiers stood upright, and the sharp blades shone in the sunlight.
After looking at it for a moment, Pang Juan looked back at the deputy general Long Jia beside him, "What does General Long Jia think of the Qin army?"
Long Jia, who was also looking at the Qin army on the opposite side, turned his gaze away when he heard Pang Juan's inquiry on the side, "General, I still think that the Qin army is powerful and should not be underestimated."
"A good one should not be underestimated."
A cold light flashed in Pang Juan's eyes, and he pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword. Suddenly, the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed sounded on the battlefield.
"Then let me see which one is the stronger spear of our Wei army or the sharper sword of his Qin army."
"The whole army listened to the order, with Wei Wu soldiers as the spearhead, and the rest of the soldiers as the flanks..."
"Attack!"
On the chariot, Pang Juan pointed his long sword forward, and with the sound of the war drums, the red Wei army's large banner began to be waved rapidly.
The military orders fell like a mountain. When their eyes noticed the large banner waving in the wind, the officers standing at the front of the Wei army's formation let out their strongest roars.
"go ahead!"
Sergeant Wei took steps forward amidst the orders and slowly walked towards the black opponent in his field of vision.
There was already movement on the Wei army's side, but the Qin army did not stand still.
Under the personal order of the eldest son Ying Qian, the black Qin army slowly advanced towards the Wei army on the opposite side like a black shadow.
At this moment, as the commanders of the two armies, Pang Juan and Ying Qian, who were at the rear of both sides, seemed to realize something, and their eyes subconsciously looked forward.
Invisible sparks were ignited at this moment, and the war that would determine the fate of the two countries was about to break out.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
