Chapter 200 Hangu Offense and Defense (4)

Otherwise, the performance of the battle before Hangu Pass this morning was reported to Sun Bin, the commander of the coalition forces, together with Tian Wen, the king of Mengchang of Qi who had been supervising the battle in the rear.

As soon as the news came out, in addition to the allied army coach Sun Bin, others like military advisor Su Qin, Chunshen Jun Huang Xie and Xinling Jun Wei Wuji all laughed.

Not only the top leaders of the coalition army, but also generals of the coalition army and scholars of various countries raised their eyebrows after hearing the news, which dampened the morale of the Qin army and felt that they had earned it this time.

Although Sun Bin didn't say a word, he was not without joy in his heart.

After all, Sun Bin once argued with Shang Yang in Jixia Academy, so he naturally knew Shang Yang's talent.

In addition, Qin State's performance in the Battle of Hexi and the various wars of Sanjin also made Sun Bin begin to pay attention to Qin State, which was once a small country on the western frontier, and began to study it.

After so many years, Sun Bin's understanding of Qin may not be as good as that of some Qin army generals and Qin officials.

Therefore, Sun Bin deeply knew how difficult the state of Qin was to deal with and how fierce the Qin army was in fighting.

Under the leadership of Dao Tuo and other three generals, the coalition army was able to achieve this record, which is quite good.

Knowing that the three generals Daituo, Ni Liang, and Wang Liao had achieved such a victory, all the coalition forces were excited, because they all saw the shadow of defeating Qin.

However, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, Sun Bin, just said a few words: "Send an order to add another 200,000 troops to the three generals!"

Hearing the coach's order, everyone was shocked.

Add another 200,000 troops to the three generals. Is the coach planning to take 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 arrive at any time. The sooner you can win Hangu Pass, the better.

Ideas belong to ideas, and everyone respects Sun Bin, the commander-in-chief of the coalition who combines prestige and wisdom.

Without any hesitation, Mengchang Jun Tian Wen dispatched 200,000 coalition troops to reinforce Ni Liang and others.

And this time, Tian Wen also added another 50,000 Qi troops to form the headquarters, and then a total of 100,000 Qi troops would supervise the battle.

...

"attack!"

With the order of Daituo, the more than 300,000 coalition troops under Hangu Pass all lined up in six square formations.

Each phalanx is composed of more than 60,000 coalition soldiers. In each phalanx, a series of arms such as numerous bowmen, shield players, swordsmen and swordsmen are well prepared. The method of wheel tactics to attack Hangu Pass.

The sound of the war drum and horn sounded again, the sound of the army shouting and killing sounded again, and a new battle started from this moment.

"General, can I use the first ultimate move?"

Seeing that there were more than twice as many coalition troops below as in the early morning, it would be a lie to say that you are not worried.

Gan Mao even directly asked Wang Yan to use the first trump card, hoping to inflict huge damage on the coalition forces.

"Do not!"

I saw that Wang Yan also had a solemn expression, but he waved his hand to reject Gan Mao's request.

"Don't panic, wait a while, wait a while..."

Looking at Wang Yan's calm look, Gan Mao was about to die of anxiety in his heart.

"boom!"

The cloud ladder was once again set up at Hangu Pass. Although the two armies did not fight face to face, it was even more crazy.

Because he looked at the enemy army on the city wall, but he couldn't do anything about it.

It is completely the bowmen of the two armies who are fighting, and the soldiers who feel that they want to kill each other are depressed.

The thought of dying at any time flashed in everyone's mind.

Especially the soldiers of the coalition troops who attacked Hangu Pass, walking on the tired corpses of their own troops, were on the verge of collapse at any time.

Therefore, the attack and defense of Hangu is not as simple as the defensive and offensive operations between the Qin army and the coalition forces.

Rather, it is a wrestling of willpower between the Qin state and the nations of the world.

Everyone is crazy in their hearts, and they have completely reached the point of killing red eyes. How can such a battle not be tragic?

"Quick, quick, take one person there, take one person here, you must not let the defense line of the tower break."

...

"All centurions obey orders, and all centurions lead their subordinates to stand firm in all parts of the city tower."

...

"Bastard, what are you doing to eat, a few coalition soldiers are attacking, and immediately bring people to Lao Tzu to drive these coalition soldiers down."

...

The generals of the Qin army, such as Wang Yan and Gan Mao, were constantly walking back and forth on the Hangu Pass, commanding the Qin army to conduct defensive operations.

"Gan Mao, launch the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Formation!"

At this moment, watching the first wave of attacking coalition forces leave countless corpses and just retreat and hand over the second wave of coalition forces, Wang Yan decisively launched the first killing move he prepared for the coalition forces.

"Nuo, the army is ready to launch the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Formation!"

Gan Mao took the order, and immediately ran down Hangu Pass. After arriving at the city wall below Hangu Pass, he directed the activation of the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Array.

I saw that there were nearly 20,000 Qin soldiers behind the Hangu Pass city wall.

In front of each or several Qin soldiers, there seemed to be some kind of mysterious objects, but they were all covered with white cloth.

Following Gan Mao's order, countless Qin soldiers lifted the white cloth in front of them one after another, revealing the objects covered by the white cloth.

After the white cloth cover was torn off, countless large-scale individual bows and heavy bed crossbows appeared one after another.

These heavy-duty bed crossbows and large-scale individual bow weapons all exude a rough and savage aura, and the quiet and bright giant crossbow arrows are even more chilling.

"These are all weapons made by our Qin craftsmen day and night. I hope this general will not be disappointed!"

Wang Yan, who was looking at these terrifying slaughter weapons on the Hangu Gate Tower, also thought with satisfaction.

These bows and crossbows were the heavy weapons and equipment built by the Qin Kingdom's Jianfang Xingye for the defenders of Hangu Pass under the command of the Qin King Yingji.

When Wang Yan received this large batch of heavy weapons, an idea suddenly appeared in his heart.

That is, the heavy weapons and equipment shipped from China and the strong bows and crossbows sealed in Hangu Pass specially formed a long-range strike force, and formed a sky crossbow arrow array to achieve the effect of shooting ten thousand arrows at one time.

In this bow and crossbow army, which is mainly equipped with powerful bows and crossbows, it takes nearly 20,000 Qin soldiers to fully control it.

In the bow and crossbow army, there are about 500 heavy crossbows and about 1,500 ordinary crossbows.

There are about 6,000 large crossbows, far exceeding the strong crossbow battalion formed when Wang Xiaojie led the Anxi Army to conquer the northwest grasslands.

Among them, the weakest bow and crossbow can reach a distance of 400 steps, which can already be regarded as a long-range strike.

That's why Wang Yan kept the bow and crossbow army in his hands and tucked them away until now.

It was because Wang Yan wanted to inflict huge casualties on the coalition forces at one time in the event of a sudden attack.

At this moment, the first and second waves of the coalition forces are at the intersection of retreat and attack. The troops are the most dense, probably no less than one hundred thousand.

If he took advantage of such a good opportunity to launch the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Formation, Wang Yan believed that the terrifying casualties brought by the Heavenly Crossbow Arrow Formation would surely make the coalition suffer enough.

Even leaving tens of thousands of coalition soldiers at one time is not impossible.
