    Let the air tremble, let the blood boil, and the majestic drums beating.  Qin's heavy armored infantry with black armor, black shield, long daggers, and hideous black masks lined up in a neat line.  The order to march came with the sound of the drum, and it started as a whole, forming a black cloud, oppressing the Chu army camp hundreds of meters away.

    A good army must be able to condense its momentum into one.  And the gathering of 10,000 people is enough to produce a suffocating effect.  As his opponent, when he is overwhelmed by this momentum, it is equivalent to losing.

    Fortunately, facing this Qin army, it was an army that had defeated the Qin army several times a day ago.  Victory brought them the courage and morale to face the enemy, and enhanced their self-confidence and fighting spirit.  At this point, the battle that Jingyu has arranged for two consecutive months is about to be fully launched, and the effect of the successive battles two days ago is showing.

    The Qin army gradually approached the attack range of the Chu army's archers, and they finally began to charge.

    Riding on a war horse, Jingyu was at the top of a low slope blocking the Qin army's marching route.  There are still hundreds of meters away from the position of the archer in front.  He waved his hand, and the drums of the Chu army also sounded.  At the same time, the archers in front began to shoot their sharp arrows at an angle of 45 degrees to the sky.

    Five thousand archers, together with one thousand light cavalry archers, a total of six thousand people, divided into three echelons.  Every second, one step shoots arrows.  In this way, after the third second, the two thousand soldiers of the first echelon can shoot arrows again.

    In this type of battle, the accuracy of the shot is not important, but the coverage and the number of times the archers can draw the bow are important.  They don't care how many people will be missed, as long as they disrupt the enemy's charge formation.  The heavy armored infantry in front will help solve the enemies that slip through the net.  If it doesn't work, there are still cavalry waiting to meet again.

    However, the defending heavy infantry of the Chu army did not meet the Qin army who ran past the area covered by the archers this time.  Behind the battlefield, Wang Jian couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

    "Get them all to withdraw immediately!" he ordered.

    The officer in charge of delivering orders was also watching Qin Jun's charge, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.  It wasn't until Wang Jian glared at him again that he was taken aback and hurriedly sent an order.  Unfortunately, it was too late.  The thousand or so heavy armored infantry rushing to the forefront seemed to have run to the edge of a cliff, and they all fell down and disappeared.  The soldiers behind them who saw this barely stopped at the edge of the huge pit that suddenly appeared.  Some unfortunate people were knocked down by their unwitting brothers behind them.

    "Stop it!"

    "Stop it!"

    With such shouts again and again, finally the entire heavy armored troops of the Qin Army stopped.  They looked in fear at the bottom of the pit, which was about ten meters deep, and there were countless sharp wooden thorns erected.  Many soldiers of the Qin army who fell were penetrated by the wooden thorns and hung on the wooden posts.  There are still some who are not dead, repeatedly reaching up for help.  It's just that at such a height, and the enemy is ahead, there is no time to save them.

    At this time, the archers of the Chu army adjusted their attack range.  The Qin army gathered most densely at the edge of the pit, which became the best attack area for the archers.

    Shocked by the facts before him, Qin Jun even forgot to use a shield to protect himself for a while.  It wasn't until hundreds of people were hit by arrows that the signal for retreat was sounded from the rear, and they retreated in a panic.

    The location where Wang Jian is located is also on a higher terrain.  Looking at the trench about five meters wide and hundreds of meters long across the battlefield, he sighed:

    "He chose this terrain as the battlefield. With this arrangement, it should be considered."

    This is the only way to pursue the Chu army.  On the flat land with a width of several hundred meters, there are wide rivers on the left and right.  Although it is mid-winter now, it is just located in the south, and the ice surface is not very thick.  Ordinary people may be able to barely pass by walking up, but how can the ice support the army collectively charging and running over?  If it falls, the icy river water is enough to make people lose their fighting power in an instant.

    In this case, the only way left is to pass from the front.

    Wang Jian guessed in his heart that Jingyu must have started to build the trench here when the Qin army started to build a strong fortress.  When he came here, he wondered why there happened to be three low slopes on the opposite side, each higher than the other.  Now that I think about it, those should all be piled up with excavated soil Moreover, there should be more than one trench.  Judging by the soil color of those low slopes, it must have been a month or two.

    Another point, the nearby woods have signs of being burned, is it to prevent them from laying boards on top of the trench?  Wang Jian shook his head at this, there should be other purposes.  Because of the more than 300,000 troops brought here, the wood for building the camp alone is enough to lay trenches.?.

    ¡®Just, what could that be?  ¡¯ He couldn¡¯t think of it for a while.

    It is the morning of the day, and the fighting cannot stop here.  Wang Jian then ordered to select suitable timber from the construction of the camp and distribute it to the soldiers.  At the same time, under the cover of the shield soldiers, more archers of the Qin Army slowly advanced to the vicinity of the trench.  With tens of thousands of archers, the Chu army obviously has no chance of winning against thousands of archers.

    Jingyu decisively withdrew the archers and the heavy armored infantry in front of them to the first low slope.  In this way, the Chu army was out of the shooting range of the Qin army's archers, and was able to hit the Qin army passing through the trench at the first time.

    The infantry of the Qin Army carried planks to the first ditch, and laid several layers in succession to prevent the heavy armored infantry from collapsing when they charged.  Then, the Qin army stopped charging, but continued to slowly cover the archers with heavy armored infantry, and advanced towards the Chu army's position.

    'Wang Jian has already concluded that I have other trenches ready for the Qin army.  ¡¯ Jingyu smiled slightly.

    Seeing that the Qin Army's heavy armored infantry advanced to the shooting range of the Chu Army's archers, he issued another order.  The sound of the drums changed, and at the second low slope, dozens of simple wooden structures were suddenly lifted up by sergeants Judging from its shape, it clearly looks like a catapult.

    The low slope raised the simple catapult, allowing it to shoot farther, reaching a level of nearly 300 meters.  Stones the size of footballs shot out like locusts and poured towards the Qin army camp.  Not to mention the heavy armored army, the archers of the Qin army became the first victims.  Dozens of stones are not many, but the visual effect it creates is beyond imagination.  For those who were hit, the bones were broken and the tendons were lightly broken, and the whole head was broken.

    Although the number of crossbowmen in the Qin army was large, their attacks were affected by the rocks.  The archers of the Chu army were on a low slope, and their condescending shooting distance exceeded them.  Moreover, gaps appeared in the front of the heavy armored infantry guarding them.  With the cooperation of the rocks and the arrow array, the advance speed of the Qin army was very slow, which undoubtedly caused a lot of casualties.

    As soon as Wang Jian saw this, he understood, 'So the burnt forest had a purpose of covering it up.  '

    He withdrew the archers and heavy armored infantry, and then pushed the army line beyond the first ditch.  Then, the famous Qin State crossbow troops appeared on the stage.  The minions they used were the largest ones at this time.  Before shooting, you need to step on the bow with your feet, pull your arms at your waist, and use your whole body to wind the bow.  The rate of fire cannot be compared with ordinary crossbows, and the mobility is not good, so Wang Jian did not use them at first However, their range and power should not be underestimated.

    Jingyu responded immediately, retreating the heavy armored infantry and archers behind the first low slope.  The catapult at the second low slope is also lowered to hide behind the low slope.  The crossbow could not shoot at his third low slope, but he could give orders from the third low slope.  Whether it is the archer in front or the catapult, there is no need to aim, and you can just follow his orders to throw and block the enemy.

    Wang Jian had expected this.  He threatened with a crossbow, not only to drive off the enemy's heavy armored infantry and archers, but also to prevent the cavalry hidden behind the short slope.  The Qin army's charge started again, even though it was risking stones and archers, it did not stop.  Then, the second trench appeared before the first low slope.  The Qin army immediately laid planks, continued to attack, and rushed to the top of the low slope
