Chapter 495

The war inevitably broke out in the tension or expectation of the people.

The Western allied forces carried the tower shield and climbed the hillside step by step in order to resist the arrows thrown from the hillside above.

But Wang and many chicken thieves were alone. He felt that the frontal shooting must not have much effect, so he simply ordered the bowmen in the array to suspend shooting and maintain deterrence, while the two winged bowmen shot at the middle mountain road

As a result, the two commanding wings gathered and shot, resulting in the first casualty number of Hu people in the western regions on the mountain road.

However, compared with the total number of 350000 people, these casualties are negligible.

Wang Jian didn't think much about it. When the other party was well prepared, the five thousand bow and crossbow men were actually more of a deterrent, but the real consumption was still in the three thousand soldiers in front.

But Wang also noticed a very interesting point... That is, only the first 50 meter queue with tower shield can defend against arrow attack.

"A group of poor people have no money to fight any war?" Wang jianleng snorted with contempt from the depths of his soul.

Then he ordered: "all bow and crossbow men, the maximum range is at the rear of the enemy, don't worry about the front!"

A rain of arrows splashed down and flew directly over a distance of 200 meters to the queue covered by the Nata shield, causing a large number of casualties.

This is how the enemy can only receive arrows and wash the ground, but it is difficult to fight back.

Because on this slope, Hu's short bow can't shoot far at all!

If the archers were close, they would have stepped into the range of the Xiqin arrow array.

So at this time, the Hu people's coalition army can only choose to accelerate the assault against the arrows in an attempt to forcibly rush into the array.

But as the backstroke side, how fast can they charge on the hillside of more than 30 degrees?

And even if they rush up and have the heavy infantry array of the Western Qin Dynasty, how much strength can they have to fight?

So the worst fight began.

The three thousand heavy infantry of the Western Qin Dynasty were arrayed in front of the soldiers of the Western Hu army who rushed up and killed them... After a short stalemate, the soldiers of the Hu people in the western regions were immediately frustrated!

Such a charge could not shake the 3000 heavy infantry array of the Western Qin Dynasty, and the reinforcements supplemented by the latter were constantly consumed by the Western Qin arrow array on the road.

Even a quarter of an hour after the war, the Xihu people could not even guarantee the troop density in front of the heavy infantry array... That is to say, it was even difficult for them to maintain the pressure on the Xiqin infantry array!

In this case, any commander with some abilities will change, and the people of the western regions have indeed changed... But their change is very cruel.

A group of swordsmen in black came into the battlefield. They began to ruthlessly kill those who were afraid of war, those who did not retreat, and even those who ran slowly.

The troops dispatched by the Allied forces in the western regions are the supervisors... There are also supervisors in the Western Qin Dynasty, but they rarely use them unless they are desperate.

After Xihu's supervisor team came on stage, it did improve the combat situation and brought some pressure to the Western Qin army.

But that's all. They can't break through the defense of the army. It seems that they are just using human life to consume the physical strength of the Qin army.

But Wang has long been prepared for such things.

After about half an hour, he directly ordered: "bow and crossbow men gather to shoot at the middle of the enemy array, and prepare for rotation!"

At once, the arrow array, which was originally just to contain the scale, became powerful again and shot the Xihu people who rushed up the hillside on the spot.

Taking advantage of the scattered personnel of the other party, the heavy infantry array in front immediately retreated.

Xihu people thought that the opportunity came and immediately rushed up to pursue.

But I didn't expect that after the original infantry array retreated from both sides, another new array in the rear was immediately exposed!

The new array did not give any chance for those Hu people in the western regions to react at all. Holding up the tower shield, they rushed up, waved knives in the front row and pierced with long guns in the back row. It was easy to recapture the place they had given up and stick to the front again.

After the rotation of the infantry array is completed, it is the turn of the crossbow men to rotate orderly. The whole battlefield is in order under the command of Wang Jian, and there is no trouble at all.

Ji was watching this scene and couldn't help praising Su Li... He was also a soldier. How could he not know that the most vulnerable time in the war was when the soldiers' physical strength began to decline.

War does not depend solely on the courage of every man. Generals should indeed take all these aspects into account.

Now the rotation mode of Wang Jian is very outstanding, which means that the soldiers in front always maintain sufficient physical strength to meet the enemy.

However, the enemy had to climb a 500 meter hillside. It was a battle when his physical strength was exhausted. It was predictable that there were heavy casualties.

Moreover, in Ji Zheng's view, the king's concurrent use of troops can indeed be called caring for soldiers.

Because although his tactics ensure the safety of his soldiers to the greatest extent... Up to now, there are no casualties!

But the efficiency of killing the enemy is not very high.

But I like this Ji very much. What he sees is Wang Jianbing's stability in using troops and his absolute control over the overall situation... Just from these aspects, I'm afraid he has surpassed Meng Zhi in terms of real talent, and only another soldier, liaowei, can match.

Such a day ran out, from the dawn to the sun star slanting westward again... More than five hours later, Meng Zhigang had six rotations.

Almost every soldier in the pass had the chance to fight, but everyone only fought for an hour or so when they had the most physical strength.

So after this day's war, the Western allied forces left more than 4000 dead bodies, while the Qin army just talked about more than a dozen people being injured.

No one died!

Because the Qin troops are covered with heavy armour, they will be dragged down by the rear paoze for first aid if they are cut down or killed once or twice... Just as it happens, there is a person in this pass who is very good at dealing with this kind of thing.

It was not until the sound of the drums and bugles of the retreat of the Western allied forces came from the distance, that the silence fell in front of the Hongshan pass, which had been fighting hard for a day.

At this time, the hongshanguan pass is a "Red Mountain" worthy of its name. The mountain path at the foot has been soaked in blood and water, and incomplete bodies can be seen everywhere.

And in the crevice of the cliff beside the mountain road, there are also faint corpse stacks... Terrible, terrible.

This is the first time that Beiguang has experienced such a tragic and spectacular scene, and it is also the largest "cannibalism" he has ever seen in his life.

This had a great impact on his young heart, and the whole person was a little stunned.

"Don't just stand there and work with me." Su Li dragged his disciples to the previous battlefield.

Near the battlefield, a strong smell of blood made Beiguang feel dizzy.

With his experience, he can't bear it, but it's hard to accept this situation for the first time.

"If you think it tastes bad, just shut up. It's not humiliating." Su Li said, and then he began to do something.

He took out a clear talisman from his bag and said to Beiguang, "come on, help master, purify every corner of the battlefield. Don't miss it."

As expected, Beiguang regained his consciousness. He asked strangely, "master, what's the purpose?"

"When I was practicing on the battlefield in my early years, I was almost taken advantage of by evil friars... So this kind of thing must be prevented," Su Li explained.

Beiguang listened to the expression of being taught... He felt that there was always endless knowledge and experience to follow his master.

So he obediently took over a large number of talismans and began to activate and display them according to Professor Su Li's method

Su Li acted together in coordination... Of course, he only needed a void condensate to finish everything.

"Master, did you use runes when you saved people?" after a while, Beiguang couldn't help asking.

Su Li nodded and said, "that's right."

He has a feeling of secret success.

"Can the master draw amulets?" Beiguang asked expectantly.

I'm on the hook!

Su Li said with a dignified face: "naturally, after all, practicing talisman is actually a process of spiritual communication between heaven and earth."

He was also hurt... Obviously he was his own disciple. As a result, he was stared at by a group of sword repair leaders of sword cliff sect. He was not allowed to take the initiative to teach non sword knowledge.

This is the last "error correction" means of the five old swordsmen.

When Su Li was recruiting disciples in the far north, these guys even secretly ran over to fight with each other... Really, he just took an apprentice and had to endure the "bullying" of these guys.

But their behavior obviously underestimated Su Li's means... As a guy who can open so many side branches in Jianya sect, which used to do its best to cultivate swords, how can he "sit and wait to die"?

No, Su Li just asked Beiguang to do things with him, which reminded the boy of the idea of learning to make amulets

"Can the master teach me how to make talismans?" Beiguang immediately brightened his eyes and showed a strong thirst for knowledge.

"Of course you can. When you've packed up here and returned to the pass, I'll teach you how to draw the original talisman." Su Li paused here, and then said, "speaking of it, your Shizu is also good at making talisman."

"Eh?" Beiguang was surprised.

He seldom heard Su Li mention his lineage of teaching at sword cliff. Only when I first worshipped the sword cliff, I had a distant visit to Shizu gujuzi, and then I haven't seen him again.

So that for a long time, although he knew that his master should have a special identity in Jianya sect, he still didn't know where it was.

Later, when he settled down in the courtyard of the four generations of disciples to meditate, he realized... Shifu, this is to enable him to carry out early practice with a more peaceful state of mind and a quieter environment.

If he had known that he was the first disciple of the son of the sword cliff, and the people around him knew his relationship with Su Li, would he still be able to harvest a quiet, full and interesting spiritual life at the sword cliff?

But now it seems that Su Li is going to tell him about the relationship between his teachers. Beiguang can't help looking forward to it.
