Chapter 123: Dancing in the Sky

In the Qin and Wei military camp, Wang Jian had been thinking for a long time with the bloody crossbow arrow in his hand. He had originally decided to send troops immediately after being clamored by the emotional generals and schoolmen. However, since he heard the detailed description of the escaped cavalry from beginning to end, he took back the order that was about to be issued.

Although I have not really seen the combat effectiveness of the Zhao cavalry, the famous Qin general, who has always been known for his cautious use of troops, actually understood in his heart that the failure of the eight thousand cavalry may not be due to underestimating the enemy, but the fact that the opponent's strength is indeed strong.

"This kind of crossbow arrow is so powerful! I have never seen it appear on the battlefield before. Could it be a newly invented weapon by the people of Zhao?"

Wang Jian looked at the cold light flashing on the crossbow arrows, and after carefully studying it over and over again, he couldn't help but frown and a deep hidden worry arose in his heart. If such a sharp crossbow arrow could be launched as it was said, then there is no doubt that the Zhao cavalry would be like a tiger and would never be able to match it again!

Nie Yunfeng reached out to take it and took a few glances. He was also very surprised. He was dispatched by the King of Qin in recent years and managed many affairs, including the manufacturing and transportation of some weapons and military equipment. Of course, Qin also has many weapons secretly made secretly, but up to now, the weapons of Qin are far inferior to such sharp crossbows.

"The people of Zhao really have some hidden means. When the King of Zhao was there, they had some barriers and no need to show them. Now... they have taken it out to save their lives. Haha! The general doesn't have to worry about this. The Qin and Wei army is about to come to the city. The people of Zhao want to rely on these strange tricks and tricks to make the final dying struggle, which will be futile in the end."

Hearing his words of comfort, Wang Jian shook his head with a wry smile. He naturally knew these principles. But now the fact that all the eight thousand cavalrymen were destroyed was in front of him. Such a huge loss was also unbearable for Qin. If you still say these words here, you can only say that you are deceiving yourself.

"Young Master, don't say more. The unfavorable losses in the first battle are all my responsibility. After the war is over, I will come to the King of Qin to receive the crime!"

When Nie Yunfeng wanted to persuade him a few more words, Wang Jian had waved his hand to stop him. However, he heard Wei general Che Li next to him say in an uncertain tone.

"When I was in Wei State, I heard that Ou Yezi's descendants made a very powerful weapon for the King of Wei, called the Long Crossbow. It is somewhat similar to this kind of crossbow arrow. However, because of the complex production, it is not able to equip it to the army on a large scale... But the people of Zhao State learned it from?"

Wang Jian and Nie Yunfeng looked at each other secretly, and although they didn't say anything, they were shocked in their hearts. It turned out that the people of Wei had already had such powerful weapons? This would be a huge threat to Qin. It seems that it is necessary to report this situation to the King of Qin to know quickly. It would be great if they could find a way to get a few enemy crossbows. Thinking of this, Wang Jian whispered a few instructions to his confidant generals and let them tell the troops under their command that from now on, if anyone can obtain the enemy's crossbow arrows on the battlefield, there will be a heavy reward!

"If necessary, General Che Li should also send someone back and tell the King of Wei quickly and check it out carefully. Who leaked such an important weapon manufacturing technology to the people of Zhao!"

Nie Yunfeng turned his head and said to Che Li. The other party nodded and agreed, waved to a Wei Zhu, and asked him to do it immediately. This matter is indeed extraordinary and must not be easily regarded. However, although they guessed the source of Zhao's crossbow arrow technology, they could not know where they were, but it turned out that it was "given" to the enemy by the dead Wei prince Nangong, himself!

The sky outside was soon bright, but Wang Jian never made up his mind to send troops immediately. Looking at the rays of light that began to appear in the east, his eyes were covered with blood. There was hatred and regret. However, whether it was to avenge Wang Xuanwu and the eight thousand cavalrymen, or to the overall combat deployment needs, although he had deep hidden worries in his heart, he had to make a decision.

"General, please give the order quickly! The army has been assembled and is just waiting to set off."

Many generals and schools had already known the news of the demise of the cavalry. They gathered in anger and asked to go to fight immediately to conquer Longcheng to avenge revenge. Wang Jian looked at the mighty army, and finally nodded, pressed all his emotions in his heart, and shouted loudly to send troops! Thousands of troops immediately took action, smoke and dust rose, swords and halberds were like forests, covering the sky and the earth, with amazing momentum.

"Young Master, the Zhao cavalry appears here, which makes me feel uneasy. Just in case, I hope you will personally go back and pick up the baggage troops to ensure that there is no accident!"

Before leaving, Wang Jian solemnly looked at Nie Yunfeng and expressed his concern to him. The Qin and Wei army advanced thousands of miles and entered the territory of Zhao. If they could break through Longcheng in one fell swoop, then everything would be easy to say. But if there was any setback, there would be absolutely no mistake in the logistics supply! This is the lifeline of the 130,000 army, and it cannot tolerate any carelessness. Originally, Wang Jian was not so worried, but the demise of the 8,000 Qin cavalry made him feel very vigilant.

"Good general, don't worry! I will take charge of myself later. Today I will put all the transported supplies, grain and grass into Pingling Pass. Under the protection of heavy troops, I will be sure of everything."

Nie Yunfeng made a promise. With his promise, Wang Jian finally felt relieved. He then commanded his own troops and moved forward one after another with the army.

Nie Yunfeng looked at the smoke and dust raised by the army, turned around, led more than 2,000 soldiers under his command against the wind and began to walk back. The area west of Pingling Pass has a higher terrain, and its northwest direction is the famous Gubeikou. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there is basically a loess terrain. When the wind blows, sand and dust rush. There is such a ghost weather most of the year.

Although this eldest son of Qin was ambitious, he had always been a trustworthy person. Since he had agreed to Wang Jian, he would of course do his best to ensure the logistics supply of the army. The supplies and food that came here in the past few days were stored in a temporary camp more than ten miles away. After he rushed back, he immediately transferred his command to Pingling Pass, which was more secure.

However, neither he nor Wang Jian nor Che Li had expected that they were still one step late after all. Someone had already set his sights on the logistics supply line of the Qin and Wei army. Moreover, as the most important link in the entire war, after forcing the enemy to lengthen their life supply line with the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, it was finally time to cut it off!

There are no mountains west of Pingling Pass, nor are there plains. There are many low slopes and loess sand piles distributed in this area. This is exactly the characteristic of this place. When the rising sun in the east once again illuminates the land, after a large slope, a cavalry team was ready to fight again.

Although we didn't get enough rest from the Qixia Ridge battlefield, every cavalry soldier could not see any fatigue. When the blade in his hand reflected the rays of light on his face, the eyes of these young people flashed a bright light.

After experiencing the great victory in Qixialing, their determination to win is now unstoppable. At this time, everyone's eyes were staring at the calm figure standing on the high ground, waiting for him to point the sword in his hand forward again.

Chu Jiangmian, who led the high morale Dragon Cavalry to drive here for hundreds of miles, had already received news from the Hu Ben Army one hour ago. Although he had long known that Murong Licheng would not disappoint his expectations, it was still somewhat beyond his expectations that they had won the first battle so neatly.

"The Qin and Wei army are all dispatched. It seems that Wang Jian has lost his patience... It is still very useful to stimulate him in this moment."

Chu Jiangmian said casually. Long Yu, who was standing respectfully behind him, was excited and asked in a searching tone.

"Your Highness, is the time here?"

Even if Chu Jiangmian didn't have to look back, he knew what the Dragon Cavalry General and the soldiers under his command were now. The swords in their hands were sharp and they tried their best to control the restless war horses, and they could no longer wait.

The battlefield of Qixialing had been handed over to the Prime Minister Fei Yi. He led the young master Liang Sheng and the veterans to do this. The order Chu Jiangmian left him was to return to Longcheng immediately after cleaning the battlefield. The reason why he did this was because he received news from the Longcheng from the spies from Qianji Pavilion last night. Some people were already ready to attack the Longcheng. Only when Fei Yi went back to take charge can he feel at ease.

"Your Highness can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! If anyone dares to disturb the overall situation for his own selfish desires at this time, I will never be polite!"

Fei Yimi, who accepted the heavy responsibility, was indignant. He understood very well what Chu Jiangmian was worried about. If it was really difficult to avoid bloodshed in the royal family in the same family, he would take it with all his strength and never let Chu Jiangmian's hands be stained with blood from the same tribe.

When he thought of this, Chu Jiangmian narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart. But the next moment, he immediately threw this emotion behind his head. Because, as he sent to convey the latest order to the Hu Ben Army, the joint battle they had been waiting for for a long time was about to begin.

"Report to Your Highness! General Murong has received the order. He asked me to tell Your Highness that when he sees the signal, the Hu Ben Army will immediately launch a full-scale attack!"

"Okay! General Longyu, now you can take your Dragon Cavalry to fight!"

Chu Jiangmian finally drew out the Fengyun Sword. In this battle, the Dragon Cavalry General and the Hu Ben Army supported each other, fought each other from the beginning to the end, and fought for a battle to defeat 130,000 enemy troops!
