The war between the Qin country, Yan, Han, and Zhao was still raging.
After the 150,000 troops led by Wang Jian separated from Meng Ao, Meng Ao and the others were all stunned.
They passed through the land of the Zhao Country and arrived at the territory of the Yan Country.
The situation in Yan Country was the same as that in Han Country.
King Xi of Yan was assassinated.
The position of monarch was still up in the air.
The dozen or so sons of the King of Yan and the forces supporting them were fighting openly and secretly in Ji City, the capital of the King of Yan, for the throne.
They did not have the time to care about the Qin army that was about to arrive.
Therefore, the Yan Country was also unable to organize an effective resistance.
In addition to the Qin Country army, there was a network to gather information.
With the latest armaments developed by the Gongshu family for the Qin army, the Yan Country's army was no match for the Qin Country's army led by Wang Jian.
Rong City.
This was the only way from the border of Yan Country to the capital of Yan Country, Ji City.
The Yan Country had gathered here. More than half of the Yan Country's military strength, a total of 270,000 troops, were blocking the Qin army.
With 270,000 soldiers, just defending the city would not be enough.
In addition, the general of the Yan Country was worried that the Qin spies would disturb them.
At that time, if the city gates were opened by Qin spies, just like the last battle between Qin and Wei, then these 270,000 soldiers would be wrapped up in dumplings by the Qin army.
Therefore, the Yan Country's 270,000 strong army had set up a battle formation on the flat ground in front of Rong City, preparing to fight the Qin army head-on.
Fifty miles away.
At the Qin army.
"General, our scouts and the spies of the network have sent news that the Yan Country's 270,000 troops have gathered in Rong City and set up a military formation. It seems that they want to fight us head-on.”
Huan He reported to Wang Jian.
"Fighting with numbers, fighting head-on with the city wall behind us, it might not be impossible to hold us back. It seems that the Yan General who is fighting this time is also a reliable person.”
Wang Jian laughed when he heard this.
"But unfortunately, he doesn't know that the strength of our Qin army is no longer what it was in the past. The current 150,000 Qin army is more than 300,000 stronger than the Qin army of the past.”
Soon after, Wang Jian sneered.
"Pass on my order. Prepare catapults and ballistae. The archers will follow closely. After the catapults and ballistae fire a few rounds of stones and crossbows, the archers will press forward.”
"Finally, the cavalry will charge forward and break the enemy formation.”
Wang Jian ordered.
The messenger naturally went down obediently and passed down the order to the various departments.
"General, is the equipment designed and manufactured by the Gongshu family really useful?”
Deputy General Huan He asked curiously when he heard Wang Jian's order.
"Whether it's useful or not, we'll know later.”
Wang Jian looked very confident.
This was because he had been invited by the two old generals, Wang He and Meng Ao, to see the power of these weapons when they were first developed.
Therefore, he was extremely confident in these weapons and this battle.
Very quickly, the army followed Wang Jian's orders and set up catapults, ballistae, and formations.
As the Yan soldiers didn't know the purpose of these weapons, they could only watch the Qin army set them up.
Meanwhile, Wang Jian, Huan He, and their hundreds of personal guards moved to the top of the mountain, which was less than twenty miles away from Rong City and about a thousand feet high. They could see the situation of the entire Rong City and the situation of the Qin and Yan armies.
"Fire."
Seeing that the arrangements were almost done, Wang Jian passed down the order.
Immediately, the Qin vanguard, who was less than 200 meters away from the Yan army, released the arm of the catapult.
The Qin soldiers controlling the ballistae also fired.
Immediately, 500 ballistae and 500 catapults threw out hundreds of stones weighing more than 100 jin at the same time, as well as hundreds of heavy crossbows that were three meters long and as thick as a child's arm. When they landed on the Yan army, they were thrown into chaos.
Even the heavy shield soldiers who had their shields in front of them would die if they were hit by these rocks or heavy crossbows.
"Heavens, how can there be such a terrifying weapon in this world!”
"No wonder these Qin soldiers placed these things on the ground as soon as they appeared.”
"They have such powerful weapons. How can we win?”
"I think we might as well surrender.”
"These weapons are not something that flesh and blood can withstand.”
The appearance of the catapults and ballistae caused the morale of the Yan army to drop. Many Yan soldiers who were scared by the catapults and ballistae turned around and fled. Some even said that they wanted to surrender.
"Don't be afraid. They have very few weapons like this. As long as we rush in front of them and destroy these weapons, they will die.”
"No one is allowed to spread rumors that damage morale during wartime. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy.”
Fortunately, the leading general of the Yan Country acted in time and ordered his troops to kill the fleeing soldiers, stabilizing their morale.
"Cavalrymen, step forward and rush to the front of the Qin army to destroy those weapons.”
Then, the general of the Yan army ordered.
Immediately, a force of 70,000 cavalrymen from the Yan Country's army charged out towards the catapults and ballistae that Wang Jian had arranged at the very front.
Yan Country was located in the north, so the people were tough. Like Qin Country, they liked to develop cavalry.
Even so, the 70,000 cavalry in front of him was already the total number of cavalry in the Yan Country.
The Qin soldiers who controlled the catapults and ballistae ignored the large number of Yan cavalrymen charging at them and fired a few more rounds of stones and strong crossbows.
It caused the Yan Country to suffer heavy losses.
Although the Yan Country's general hated the Qin Country's army to the point of gnashing his teeth, he could only wait.
Seeing that the Yan Country's cavalry had rushed in front of the Qin Country's army, before the Yan Country's general could be happy...
The Qin soldiers who had just started operating the catapults and ballistae immediately retreated, and a group of thirty thousand people appeared from behind. Each of them had a crossbow archer.
"It's wishful thinking to use archers to stop my Yan Country's cavalry.”
Seeing this scene, the Yan Country's general sneered.
Whether it was the archers with bows or crossbows, the speed of loading arrows was not fast. By the time they finished shooting in unison, the cavalry of Yan Country had already rushed into their ranks.
What awaited them was only a tragic massacre.
Moreover, the Yan Country had 70,000 cavalry, while the Qin Country only had 20,000 to 30,000 archers.
The difference in numbers was huge, and the Qin State's army was even less of a match.
"How is this possible?"
However, the next scene stunned the Yan Country's general. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
