"According to the scouts from the East Chamber, Zhang Han's troops are in contact with Xiang Yu's army at the Zhangshui River.”
Ying Fei pointed at the Zhangshui River and said,""Guanzhong is weak, and there are almost no defenders. In addition to the lack of rations, if we can't quickly deal with the enemy, Xianyang will be in danger.”
"I have no other choice. I can only fight with my back against the wall and defeat Liu Bang completely. Only then will I be free to deal with Xiang Yu and revive Great Qin!”
Hearing this, Gao Shun nodded in agreement. He already understood what the Emperor was thinking in his heart.
It wasn't that they didn't want to defend the pass, but they couldn't. After all, Great Qin and the rebel army couldn't wait any longer.
"I understand that this battle will definitely be a life-and-death battle.”
Ying Fei patted Gao Shun's shoulder and said indifferently,""The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Our army doesn't only have these forty thousand people inside the pass.”
"Zhang Liao's Lantian army has been deployed. Eighty thousand men have surrounded the rebel army. If Liu Bang dares to attack, he will not be able to return.”
"Yes!"
........
A quarter of an hour.
At the foot of Wuguan City, 200,000 rebel soldiers gathered and waited for orders. When the Qin army came out of the gate, Zhou Bo did not attack rashly. He just stayed quietly at the side, waiting for Liu Bang's arrival.
"What is it? The Qin army only had so few people, yet they dared to come out of seclusion to fight!”
Liu Bang, who was sitting in the carriage, was stunned. Ever since he had started his army in Pei County, he had never fought against the Great Qin army.
Wherever they passed, they only saw some county officers and soldiers. The tiger and wolf army that had once wiped out the six countries had long disappeared.
For this reason, even though he had heard of the might of the Qin army, he was still filled with disdain when he found out that there were only 40,000 guards at Wu Pass.
The 200,000 soldiers under him were full of vigor, dealing with the 40,000 weak and old Qin soldiers was a sure thing.
"Pei Gong, don't underestimate the Qin army. They dared to come out of seclusion when they were at a disadvantage.”Xiao He advised.
This was a ferocious army that had fought their way out of the Rong and Di lands of Longxi. In the past, they had their heads tied around their waists and held halberds in their hands. They were the valiant army that had turned the six states of Shandong into ruins step by step.
"Hahaha! I have 200,000 men. What's there to be afraid of?”
Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers were like mantis trying to stop a chariot against Pei County's rebel army. Liu Bang was full of confidence as he laughed wildly.
It was early autumn in August, and the first rays of the sun shone on the plains of Guanzhong.
In front of the Martial Pass, the Danshui Plain was filled with killing intent. In the middle of a mottled flood, the Chu and Liu flags stood tall.
On the chariot in the middle, Liu Bang was in high spirits, his army of 200,000 was ready to fight.
Following the tradition of the rebel army, the two sides of the chariot were cavalrymen. They held the Green Dragon Halberd and rode a fine horse.
Behind them was the real rebel army, with the red-armored soldiers as the main force and hundreds of thousands of infantrymen standing firm.
Although there were many horses in the world, there were very few that could be used to train cavalry. Therefore, even someone as strong as Liu Bang only had 8,000 cavalry.
The 200,000 strong army spread out on the plains. Although the flags were mixed and even the armor could not be made of the same color, they could not see the end at a glance. The Wu Pass seemed particularly small in front of them.
On the side of Wu Pass, 40,000 Qin soldiers were lined up in a black formation. The Great Qin Emperor, Ying Fei, was accompanied by Huo Qubing and Gao Shun as he looked at the rebel army.
The autumn wind was strong, and the black Black Bird Flag in the Qin army's formation fluttered in the wind. Together with the 40,000 silent soldiers, it was like a black dragon that had just woken up. It roared as if it was announcing to the world that Great Qin had returned.
Ever since Great Qin had unified the world, this was the first time Wu Pass had encountered such a situation. The two armies were clearly separated and lined up to face each other.
[Ding-dong. Main mission activated. Defeat Liu Bang's army. Reward: Army Summoning Order.]”
The long-awaited system notification rang in Ying Fei's mind. He couldn't help but frown and say,""System, I remember that when the situation is tilted, the mall will open the half-price exchange right on the spot.”
"Reporting to host, we have detected that our faction is in danger. The mall has specially opened a half-price exchange.”
The reason why the Qin army had come out of seclusion wasn't just to fight in the open and take down the rebel army in one fell swoop. There was another important purpose.
That was the Empire Rise System. When the number of people on one's side was less than one-third or more of the other party's, the temporary exchange authority would be activated.
In other words, the items in the system store could be exchanged at half price.
Ying Fei had deliberately arranged this.
"System, help me exchange for 1,000 God Arm Crossbows. Use the remaining Merit Points to exchange for exclusive crossbows.”
Not long after, a mile behind the Qin army, Ying Fei looked at the black crossbows in front of him, each with a length of 3.3 feet and a string length of 2.5 feet. His face was filled with joy.
The Divine Arm Crossbow was made of tough mulberry wood, the body of the crossbow was made of hard sandalwood, the string was made of hemp, and the crossbow was made of steel. The maximum range was 340 steps, which was 510 meters.
It was powerful enough to pierce through heavy armor, which was why it became an important weapon for the Northern Song Dynasty to deal with the Jin and Western Xia cavalry.
Of course, its exchange price was not cheap. The Western Han Dynasty's Big Yellow Crossbow only cost 10 Merit Points, while the God Arm Crossbow cost 500 Merit Points. Even if it was half price, it would still cost 250 Merit Points.
In addition, the God Arm Crossbow was not something that the current era possessed. The Qin army could not equip the crossbow bolts at all, so they could only exchange for exclusive crossbow bolts.
Therefore, after the system woke up, all the Merit Points that Ying Fei had accumulated were used up.
In their place were 1,000 God Arm Crossbows and a large number of dark black crossbow bolts. The arrowheads were all made of tri-edged alloy, and they were invincible.
As the saying went, the products of the system were of the highest quality.
