Chapter 286
Outside Qicheng, an army of 100,000 people was heading towards Qicheng quickly.
This was an elite Jin army. After receiving the order from the Jin Brigade, they abandoned the city they were defending and rushed to the rescue.
"General, we can't rush on like this. The brothers are exhausted. If we don't rest, we won't be able to exert our combat effectiveness when we arrive at the battlefield."
The Jin Brigade gave a strict order, and the generals did not dare to neglect it. They also knew that the situation was urgent, so they rushed on desperately.
"Okay, take a break and let the soldiers eat something. We are not far from Qicheng."
The leader also knew the consequences, so he gave the order.
There was one thing he didn't say. This battle was so difficult, and many of the people he brought were afraid that they only had their last meal left.
Since they were going to fight, they had to let the soldiers fill their stomachs and go on the road.
What they didn't know was that Qin Qiong was waiting for them not far ahead of them.
"General, the enemy has stopped to rest and is cooking. The defense is relatively complete. We dare not approach."
This is a place with almost no natural barriers. The enemy chose to station here because they were worried about being attacked.
"Don't worry, explore again."
Qin Qiong was not in a hurry. The enemy was resting and eating at this time. When they set off later, it was the most relaxed time for people, which was the best opportunity for a big battle.
If Qin Qiong had cavalry, he could have launched a wave of attacks. Unfortunately, the people Qin Qiong brought were also infantry.
"Order the army to set up the battle formation and wait for the enemy to come. All archers are ready to give the enemy an unforgettable memory."
This battle can only be fought openly. Without geographical advantages, it is impossible to design an ambush.
After learning that the enemy army was moving again, Qin Qiong was ready.
The offensive and defensive positions were extremely beneficial to the Zhenbei Army.
After the Jin soldiers appeared, they launched an offensive.
Infantry combat is different from cavalry. Even if they charge, they don't rush forward in a swarm. They still set up military formations and move towards the enemy slowly and steadily.
After the Jin soldiers entered the attack range, the archers launched the attack first.
Although Long Tian received the reward of unlimited arrows, Zhenzhou is far away from the northern border and separated by the power of the prince, so not many arrows were sent to Zhenzhou.
Fortunately, Su Jingshan took a lot of military supplies from the court when he sent troops, and with the secret support from the Qian Family Chamber of Commerce, it was enough to fight a rich battle.
The Jin soldiers were completely different. The arrows consumed a lot and had not been replenished. The reserves of King Xiaoyao were not enough.
At this moment, the importance of military supplies was reflected. The Jin soldiers had to stop after only three rounds of volleys.
The Zhenbei Army was still shooting, causing great losses to the Jin soldiers.
"Damn it, if this goes on, our army will lose everything before reaching the enemy's formation. We can't wait any longer. Pass my order, the army will charge."
It would definitely not work if we followed the previous way of fighting. We must go all out at this moment.
The Jin soldiers gave up the formation and didn't care about anything else. They all started charging. Although the loss was great, it was a helpless move.
This was equivalent to a battle between a scattered army with no rules and a regular army with a tight formation. The result was obvious.
The helpless move of the Jin soldiers gave Qin Qiong an opportunity.
The war of attrition began.
After just one hour, the Jin soldiers could not hold on. In this short period of time, more than 30,000 soldiers had been killed, but the result was that even the defense line of the Zhenbei Army was not broken.
"Messenger, order the army to change the formation and don't let the enemy run away."
The Jin soldiers had already shown signs of decline, and Qin Qiong's side also began to change. The Zhenbei Army that was blocking the front did not move, and the armies on both sides began to move, preparing to completely surround the Jin soldiers.
When Qin Qiong started the war, several other places also started fighting. Whether it was an ambush or a head-on battle, the expected results were achieved.
With the detailed intelligence of Shadow, the route of the Jin soldiers was not a secret at all, and was completely blocked by the Zhenbei Army.
"General Li, at this moment, apart from the prince, only Zhenzhou is still in war in Xia State. As long as we defeat the Jin soldiers as soon as possible, we may be able to help the prince."
Su Jingshan was very happy. The war went so smoothly, and his contribution was indispensable.
Li Jing understood what Su Jingshan meant by help, that is Huaizhou.
Now Sun Wu and Meng Tian are eyeing Zhangzhou, and if Li Jing can get his hands out, Huaizhou, which does not have many elite troops, can be broken at any time.
It is not far from the final stability of Xia State.
In Dangzhou, Long Tian, Xue Rengui, Wang Jian and others have arrived with their troops.
"Your Majesty, the War King is right in front of us. From his previous remarks, it is not difficult to judge that this War King is very dissatisfied with our northern border. He wants to confront us head-on to show his military strength."
The war in Linzhou was chaotic, and the War King did not participate, but only sent some troops to support the King of Pingxi.
Today, Long Tian arrived and the Zhenbei Army entered the country. The War King naturally knew about this news. Especially when he knew that Long Tian came in person, he was particularly excited and wanted to touch Long Tian.
"Since this War King is so hospitable, I must help him."
"Wang Jian, order the army to line up, and we will fight the Dangzhou Army head-on. Don't let people underestimate the Zhenbei Army."
Long Tian wanted to face the War King directly to see what tricks the War King had.
The two armies acted almost at the same time, and on a huge plain, the two sides lined up and confronted each other.
Soon, a war horse rushed out from the Dangzhou Army in front, and it was obvious that the War King had something to say.
Sure enough, the War King asked Long Tian to stand in front of the formation for a while.
Long Tian did not refuse, and the generals around him saw that Jia Xu did not speak, so they did not persuade Long Tian.
This is also because everyone is confident enough. Even if they know that the War King has a mysterious plum blossom mark killer organization, they don’t care.
Soon, both sides, with hundreds of people each, walked to the middle area where the two armies were facing each other, and stopped more than ten meters apart.
The War King, as his name suggests, has a rough appearance and a body of tendon meat. At first glance, he is a person who loves martial arts.
This kind of person is actually easy to deal with. He has no brains, but if anyone thinks that the War King is like this, he will definitely suffer a great loss.
This guy is a typical appearance that deceives people. In fact, he is very careful and good at scheming. Otherwise, why did Pingxi King Xiao Jingyi push him out back then?
"Long Tian, it's not bad. It's not easy for you to get to where you are now at such a young age. This king admires you very much."
The words of the War King are sincere. Now everyone knows that Long Tian's power is the strongest in Xia Country. Even the conceited War King has to admit that he is far behind in this regard.
"King Zhan, you are too kind. Although I also want to live a comfortable life, I am forced by life. There are always people who don't want me to live well, so I can only fight back."
"As for achievements, I don't care. These are external things, which are nothing compared to inner peace."
Long Tian is also hypocritical. He clearly wants to dominate the world, but he speaks as if he is forced to do so.
