Chapter 307 The decisive battle in Qinzhou, the Snow Dragon Rider

With the Battle of Yuguan Hongyan ahead and three consecutive victories behind them, the Xia army should have ended the Qinzhou Campaign smoothly.

However, driven by Zhou Bai's coercion and interests, the major forces in Qinzhou allied again and gathered for a large-scale frontal confrontation.

And in this head-on confrontation, there is an obvious advantage.

The first is to play at home. Based on the terrain of Beiyan Qinchuan, we will naturally have three points more combat power.

The second is the Xia king's central army, whose strength is twice that of the front battlefield. The 20 Qin army has been tempered by the civil war for many years, and most of them are veterans. They will not be afraid of the [-] Xia army.

Many powerful people, including military lieutenant generals, blamed Yan Jian for the defeat of Yuguan. As for Tianyang County and Yuanqiu County, which could not stop the Xia army's partial division, it was also very simple. The main force of Jiedu gathered on the front battlefield of Beiyan, and the strong walls and clear fields gave way to some It’s just a city.

Based on the above analysis, the morale of the army was boosted, and for a moment they actually thought they had a chance of victory.

Contrary to the optimism of some people, Jing Heng, who is a descendant of the Xu Dynasty royal family and the governor of Qinzhou, knows a lot about Daxia's national conditions, and he does not think he can win much.

The strategic goal formulated at the beginning was to allow a small defeat and try to delay it for a longer time. As long as the Xia State could not swallow up Qinzhou in one go, the great powers in the northern border, Western Shu, the grassland and other places would inevitably intervene in this battle, and they would be able to defeat them without a fight. soldiers.

Jing Heng can see through the gap between the two sides and intends to delay the defeat. Qinzhou's Jiedu is not all ignorant and stupid.

What these smart people think is that as long as there is a fight, your Xia army will not be able to swallow it up, and it will be much easier to negotiate terms later.

The Qihuang Mountains, the largest and longest mountain range in Beiyan County, contained spiritual veins before the spiritual change. It is the mountain gate where the Huiyan Sect of Qinzhou is located.

After the spiritual change, Huiyan Zong took refuge in the Daxu court and gave all his strength to support him. Most of Jing Heng's Taoist officials came from Huiyan Zong.

Such hard work naturally paid off. All the aura nodes in the Qihuang Mountains were taken over by him, and his luck soared, causing the sect's Taoism to emerge in endlessly.

If Zhou Bai hadn't killed the Supreme Dharma Realm before and cut off half of Hui Yan Sect's luck, I'm afraid that with the accumulation of luck, No. 2 Dharma Phase would have been born.

Qihuang Mountain's spiritual veins are top-grade and sincerely serve as the foundation for inheritance. The Huiyan Sect strongly requested the state army to defend this place.

In addition, the Qihuang Mountains are an important source of spiritual resources for the state government, so Jing Heng ordered several battles to be fought here, first transporting the spiritual objects in the mountains, and then retreating according to the situation.

On November 22, the two armies faced each other in the plains at the foot of the mountain.

Flags were fluttering, and military formations were forming one after another. The soldiers at the front were all heavily armored, and cold light shone when the swords touched each other, creating a chill.

This is the largest war that Qinzhou has experienced since the troubled times. Even if the barbarians from the prairie go south to clear grass and valleys, they will not fight to this extent.

Xia's army numbered 20, and Qin's army numbered 70. Together with the auxiliary soldiers and civilians, the total number was [-] million.

All kinds of luck are mixed, the swaying natal energy cannot be separated from the body, the heaven and earth are chaotic, and the fate of any soldier seems fragile at this time.

However, the military aura they generated remained undiminished. It was so strong that it turned into black energy, covering dozens of miles around, like the shadow of death, heavy and gloomy.

Thousands of horses were in silence, and the atmosphere of the battle was like the silence before the storm, so quiet that one could hear their own heartbeats.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the two armies. The Yulong Banner and the Qinzhou Mu's Daxu Dragon Banner each stood high. Once the banner was waved, the battle began.

Sergeant Xia's soldiers looked cold and solemn, without any nervousness. They just held the weapons in their hands tightly, and gently slid their fingers over the tail, feeling the power given by the cold metal.

So what about the 20 Qin troops? They had never suffered a defeat since they fought with the King of Xia.

On one side of the Qin army are the most elite [-] old Qin frontier troops. They are the old foundation left by the Daxu frontier army. They were trained by Jing Heng as a support. Now the average person has achieved great physical training, and there are thousands of acquired masters. .

Behind the three thousand old Qin border troops were the twenty thousand Yamen troops from various Jiedu, all of whom were extremely brave. They were strong soldiers raised by consuming the luck of the county, and there were even innate generals.

Dingzhou was the first big state to deploy force. How could Qinzhou not know how powerful the Xia army was, so when the Qin army came up, they sent their elite troops to attack.

As long as the initial offensive is withstood and the number of troops is rotated, it can become a war of attrition.

Casualties, fate of Qin soldiers?These are not considerations for the meat eaters, they just want to win.

As for the front line of the Xia army, it was an army that the Qin army had never been in contact with. It was not a forbidden army or a garrison, but a front line of 5000 people composed of the demon-suppressing army and the bodyguards.

Such an unconventional formation attracted many people to dissuade him, but Zhou Bai had his own reasons.

No matter how important the country is, no matter how powerful the ace army is, it is useless if it does not go into battle and fight bloody battles. What's more, what he wants is a quick battle and cannot be wasted here.

Thinking of some intelligence from the west of Qinzhou and the grassland, Zhou Bai's face became increasingly cold, and he issued the battle order in a deep voice on the command vehicle.

"Destroy the enemy in one battle!"

The Xia army's fish-dragon sword waved forward, which was an active attack.

This situation immediately caused the Qin army to explode. They were so prepared, but the Xia army's style of play was still flat.

"A proud soldier will be defeated."

"Isn't this too disrespectful? 5000 people form a front line to advance. Aren't you afraid that my army will eat them up in one bite?"

"Let them come over and send an order to the front line to eat the enemy's protruding point and destroy their arrogance at all costs!" No matter how much Jing Heng valued Xia Jun, he could not ignore the flaw in front of him.

If the Xia army is really dazzled by victory, it will be a plan to eat five thousand of their elites, dampen their vigor, and drag the battlefield to Qihuang Mountain.

The other two roads are fortified and clear of the countryside, guarding the place where the county is governed. If he doesn't care, there will be people who will stick to it to the end.

woo~
The Qin army's horns sounded, and the deafening drums reverberated in the air like thunder, and the war was about to break out.

After receiving Jing Heng's order, the [-] elite front formation formed a crescent-moon encirclement formation, allowing the [-] Xia troops to break in, while the many phalanx formations behind them were still advancing slowly.

The sharp knife broke the formation, and then the army pushed back?
The generals of the Qin Army in the front line were not as optimistic as the nobles behind them. They immediately felt the oppression of the Xia Army and something was wrong with these 5000 people. "Look, they're moving, it's Qi-Blood Wolf Smoke!"

More and more people in the Qin army discovered that the force of the Xia army was extraordinary. Lines of energy and blood appeared rising into the sky. This was a phenomenon only seen by high-level warriors or extremely elite soldiers.

"Fire the arrows, let them be covered by the rain of arrows, don't waste your time shooting the dragon crossbow!" The general of the Qin army's front line immediately ordered, and a tall ballistae and a large phalanx of bows were exposed.

However, the Xia army's long-range attack was the first to arrive at this time. Hundreds of kilograms of stone bullets and crossbow arrows spanned hundreds of feet and hit the Qin army's formation.

Especially stone bullets contaminated with kerosene can easily cause commotion and disrupt the Qin army's position.

boom!boom!
Heads were bruised and bloody, and mutilated limbs appeared from the beginning. Even the elite Qin soldiers could not accept that their companions were smashed into meat pies, and their morale continued to decline.

Fortunately, the Qin army's arrow formations and catapults responded immediately. The dense heavy arrows formed a rain of arrows and hit the center of the battlefield, slowing down the Xia army's high-speed advance.

However, the Xia army's front line was all heavily armored. Except for the miraculous effect of shooting dragon crossbows, they could not cause significant damage.

The original trebuchet with one hundred steps and two hundred steps could not be compared with the counterweight trebuchet, let alone the subsequent improvements.

bang bang...

Soon the first wave of human wall collisions came, and the front troops of both sides met the enemy, and a fierce fighting immediately began.

It's not that the swords are sharp, but the clanging sound is non-stop. This is because the elites of Qin and Xia are all wearing armor, and there are many leather armors stacked on top of iron armors.

It's just that the armor of the Qin army was much worse than that of the Xia army, and the weapons in their hands were also sharper. After several battles, the battle damage ratio was as high as one to three or even one to five.

In particular, several Xia army masters and Xiantian realm warriors formed a beheading team. Soon the Qin army's front line would be unable to hold its strength.

No matter how thick the armor is, it can't stop the infuriating energy of a high-level warrior, and no matter how tight the military formation is, it still needs a commander.

If the old Qin soldiers had not ignored the casualties and surrounded and killed two grandmasters who were deep in the formation at the cost of hundreds of elites, I am afraid that the Xia army's front line would have advanced faster.

That is to say, the attrition strategy formulated in advance, and reinforcements constantly coming in, managed to maintain the military formation from being quickly penetrated.

Under the continuous long-range attacks by both sides, a gap in casualties emerged. The Xia army was able to shoot at the Qin army's central array to kill them, but the Qin army could only achieve the goal of slowing down the Xia army's subsequent advancement.

Instead of waiting for some knowledgeable generals to complain about the gap in weapons and equipment, a boom-boom-boom, a trembling sound from the earth suddenly sounded.

The old Qin soldiers didn't even need to look at these movements to know that the Xia army's cavalry was dispatched. From the distance, it was a thousand dragon dragon cavalry coming from the formation.

Zhang Xu Jiao Ma was wearing horse armor, and the mighty warrior soldiers on his back were also fully armored. Only the faceplate exposed his eyes, which were full of murderous intent.

They were holding carbines and carbines, and they were like iron lumps running rampant. No infantry would be willing to block them.

"It's an armored cavalry! Where are our cavalry?!" Some Qin soldiers shouted in horror.

They were all northern forces, so it was unreasonable to have no cavalry. It was even said that the Qinzhou cavalry once overwhelmed Dingliang, making it difficult for the grassland enemies to become a serious problem.

The big Xulong flag waved, and [-] cavalry directly under the command of Zhou Mu suddenly appeared. This was the foundation for Zhou Yamen to still control the three fertile counties.

Facing a thousand dragon cavalry, naturally he would not use [-] cavalry, but Jing Heng could see clearly from a high place that Xia Jun's [-] cavalry wearing black armor were also moving.

No one expected that the promised infantry fight in the front line would turn into a cavalry melee in the blink of an eye.

It was Xia Jun who controlled the battlefield rhythm, and it was also Jing Heng's helpless move. If no more variables appeared, the five thousand Xia Jun would really kill them.

Even if they are really defeated, how can they stop the continuous Xia Kingdom's imperial army? They can only break the situation with cavalry!

Everyone is a dragon, everyone is born, they are all equipped with armor, and they have military strength. The effect of combining these key words into one has never been verified.

Today's battle between Qin and Xia will fully reveal the edge of the dragon cavalry. Gao Hu takes the lead with a silver spear in hand. The stars are shining brightly, and the Xiezhi army in the sky raises its head and roars angrily.

This is like a signal. Looking down at the battlefield, all kinds of fates are manifesting in an instant, and the stars are shining brightly.

Unknowingly, talents who followed Zhou Bai's transformation have sprung up.

"kill!"

Kill out a person to stand up and establish a life, kill out a wife and a shadow child, kill out a million households to become a prince!
Ten thousand Xia Jun Xuanjia cavalry intercepted most of the Qin cavalry, and nearly five thousand cavalry rushed towards a thousand dragon dragon cavalry. They formed a group charge formation, showing exquisite cavalry coordination.

The Qin cavalry's aura took shape and turned into blazing fire and large spears, with unparalleled power.

On the other hand, the thousand iron lumps and the pitch-black armor formed their characteristics. They were unknown and some were just charging forward.

Can it be blocked, can it turn the tide?
boom!
When a wave of encounters occurs... people are thrown off their feet...

Countless flesh and blood exploded into blood foam, and Qin horses were even knocked dozens of feet away, leaving a bloody trail before all their remaining strength was exhausted.

At this time, the celestial phenomena were triggered by the collision of the battlefield, the cold air turned into snow, and in an instant, it was completely white.

The unknown dragon cavalry suddenly erupted like an ice and snow storm, extinguishing the fire of Qin cavalry and cutting off the big spear.

To really describe it, it's like crushing, crushing all the way through.

An old Qin soldier turned back to look at his own big rising dragon flag. The blazing dragon pattern seemed to have only the remaining glow, gradually dimming under the cover of snowflakes.

The outsiders who lived to record this battle gave the dragon cavalry a name, Heavy Snow Dragon Cavalry, which means the snow is pressing down on the northern border.
