Chapter 289 Shocking Qin Zhao Zhengfeng (13)
King Qin finally came up with a way to easily crack the Zhao people's arrow tower, things in the world are like this, they restrain each other, in order to resist the beasts and disperse the cold, learn to build houses, a door separates the inside and outside, close the door, no one knows what happens inside, people also become more presumptuous, a qiē is no different, just one more door.
The power of the Zhao army's arrow crossbow is amazing, and the position of the people above the arrow tower is even more like a tiger's wings, the arrow tower layout is reasonable, which implies the formation, and the arrow towers can cooperate with each other to accurately strike the enemy who is coming, Zhao Kuo deliberately delayed the Qin army to create an opportunity to capture Yiyang, and the arrow tower was also painstaking.
Will it be bitter in the end? Does the effort pay off? Not necessarily!
Zhao Kuo's results have been achieved, the Qin army launched several offensives in a row, the allocation of troops is also reasonable, even so it has never been possible to advance an inch, once it is close, the dense arrow rain falling above the arrow tower makes the Qin army suffer, the casualties are close to 20,000, and 20,000 soldiers and horses died in the hands of Zhao Jun in one day, Ying Zheng is flat on the surface, and he is secretly anxious, Qin and Zhao can not avoid the war, the most critical of which is also the duel between himself and Zhao Kuo, this battle must not only win, but also win the Zhao army.
The arms are restrained from each other, what can restrain the arrow tower, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, he couldn't rest and went straight to the rear camp, the rear camp was pitch black, the responsibilities of each camp were different, the front battalion was mostly elite, responsible for pathfinding, rushing, pursuit, etc., the Chinese army was responsible for scheduling, and the troops were mostly infantry, as for the rear camp was relatively complex, transporting grain, cooking, carts, and feeding horses were all here, to put it bluntly, they were all some irrelevant people, and the responsibility was indeed the heaviest, once something happened in the rear camp, even if it was just a fire, the front army would be in chaos, Ying Zheng knew the stakes and secretly mobilized a team of elites to guard the safety of the rear camp.
The soldiers patrolled back and forth with spears in hand, and saw a group of men and horses approaching, and they couldn't see it clearly in the night, but it must be Qin people who could come here, "Who is here, can there be an order from the king?" ”
"It's a widow."
"Dare to pretend to be the king, and someone will take it down." How noble is the identity of King Qin, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army, how many people have just heard of it and have not seen it, the black light is blind and the fire is not clear, and he thinks in his heart that the king has already rested so late, even if he comes, there should always be a large team of guards to follow.
The soldiers surrounded him, and someone approached the torch, Ying Zheng snorted coldly, and he didn't want to be able to enter his own place, so it was okay, so he simply took a look.
A burst of footsteps sounded, the general led a team of soldiers to come, patrolling along the way, the soldiers came to report, someone called himself the king, the man was startled, this is a big deal, if it is really the king to come, there must be something, if not, pretending to be the king is a big crime to lose his head.
"The king, what a king."
The Lord General recognized himself, seeing that the King of Qin was in front of him, he was only wearing a simple dress, and there were no guards behind him, no wonder these people were not allowed to enter, the Lord would kneel on the ground, and those people behind him hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute.
"Okay, live up to the widow's trust in you, remember, even if the widow comes without the king's order, you won't be allowed to enter." After speaking, he took out the tiger talisman from his arms, people can deceive people, this thing will not, it is extremely important to represent the power of the tiger talisman, with it, you can mobilize soldiers and horses, and Yingzheng will never leave you.
"My lord, please speak in the tent."
"No, go around the siege camp."
Ying Zheng was anxious to find out the result, the man had to follow behind, the rear camp was divided into several battalions according to different roles, and the positions were also different, the man led the way, and the group went straight to the siege camp.
"King, this is a chariot, which can carry soldiers, and the front is driven by war horses, which can impact the enemy camp with amazing power." The person in charge of the caretaker introduced them one by one, Ying Zheng nodded, and it was already clear from the classics that the chariot was extremely prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and every battle must be an attack with a chariot, and when it was prosperous, the chariot in the army was close to more than a thousand, and with the development of cavalry, the role of chariots gradually weakened, after all, the flexibility could not be compared with pure cavalry, and the Qin army camp still had chariots, and chariots were strengthened by improving their own defense.
"This is a catapult, it takes dozens of people to open, and it can quickly throw hundreds of catties of boulders as a siege weapon."
Ying Zheng carefully looked at it, the height of the catapult far exceeded the chariot, with long arms on both sides like human hands, and the middle was connected by a rubber band, which was specially treated to retain elasticity and increase its own toughness.
"What is the maximum attack range of this car casting?"
"Close to 100 feet."
"That's enough!"
The boulders were thrown into the air and fell to the ground deeply, just like the crossbow 61 arrows, the arrow itself has extremely limited strength, but it becomes completely different after the bowstring is strengthened, and it can instantly shoot through the opponent, and the boulder falling in the air is the same, it can't be moved, and it seems that it can only be used to build a way and the war can't be related, the catapult appears to change a qiē, which can be called a super-large crossbow, but it can't be built to fit the arrow, and finally replaced it with the same powerful boulder, how powerful is it?
Although the Zhao army was hastily built, when the Qin army approached, it was not affected in the slightest by cutting the shield with spears, and the Zhao archers stood on it as if it were flat ground, and the firmness was conceivable, and the lower part was mostly thigh-thick trees, and the sturdiness was bound to be not bad, click, click, and the boulders smashed on it and the trees broke one after another, and the joints fixed with ropes could not withstand such strength.
The arrow tower suffered a heavy blow, and the shooters on it also affected, and the figure of the Dao Dao fell from above, and under the attack of the opponent's boulder, the arrow tower had lost its meaning.
Qin army camp
As the arrow tower collapsed one after another, the figure of the Zhao army soldiers above fell and made an earth-shattering cheer, just ignoring one point, the speed of all the people falling down was obviously a little slower than falling directly, just one point was enough, one rope was put down from above, although there were dead and wounded, most people could save their lives through guò flying tiger claws, the figure fell and bent down quickly, the Zhao army camp also sounded the drums, did not dare to stay, one person stood on a high place and kept waving the flag in his hand, he could see clearly, and the soldiers who escaped from the top of the arrow tower ran straight to one of the directions.
Almost at the same time, a team of Zhao Jun rushed out with wooden barrels in hand, the black liquid was poured quickly, and a strange smell filled the air, all of which were carried out in full accordance with Zhao Kuo's instructions.
The Qin army launched a huge stone bombardment repeatedly, the arrow towers were shattered one after another, and the clicking sound came out one after another, and you can even imagine the situation when the boulder hit the Zhao people, but it was just a little, and the screams seemed to be a little less.
"King, do you want to attack immediately?"
"Wait."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, the same thing smart people and ordinary people observe the angle, the thinking angle is completely different, in the eyes of Wang Jian and others, the Zhao army has been defeated, the arrow tower is also useless, this is the best time for the army to rush to kill, it is undeniable that the attack at this time is the most beneficial to Qin, the Zhao army arrow tower lost most of the morale greatly affected, and now the opportunity has been lost and it is inevitable to fall into chaos.
Others are watching Ying Zheng listening, the eyes will deceive people, and the ears will also deceive people, but there are some voices that can't, the screams are also differentiated, some are pleasant and even excited, this kind of sound must make people like and even miss, some voices as long as they hear it once, they don't want to have a second time in this life, the boulder hits the body, and the screams made at the moment of death are the latter, Ying Zheng is listening, listening attentively, and the screams are non-stop, but Cheng Dù is completely different, some are even deliberately made by people, and some are completely true.
The fake must not replace the true, the same is true of the voice, only the voice that really comes from the bottom of the heart is the purest, the heart-rending cry reveals despair, whether it is the Zhao people or the Qin people, they will be afraid and afraid at the moment of death.
"Strange thing." Ying Zheng frowned, his judgment would never be wrong, the number of Zhao Jun who really died under the catapult was not many, maybe no more than a hundred, if it was really like that, I had to admire Zhao Kuo's ability, knowing how to kill is the ability, once in a predicament, knowing how to escape is also the ability, escaping is not a shame, but to find a better time to kill the opponent.
"King, if you don't attack again, I'm afraid Zhao Ren will run away." Wang Jian couldn't help but be anxious, seeing that most of the arrow towers in front were destroyed under the catapults, the number of arrow towers left in the rear was extremely limited, and there was no danger in front of him, the Zhao army absolutely did not have the strength to fight with the Qin army in a frontal formation, and the result was already obvious, the Zhao people wanted to run, why did the king refuse to give the order to attack.
"Someone, transfer the new barracks."
"Boot barracks?"
Several people were stunned at the same time, everyone knew the meaning of the new barracks, most of them were caught by Chu people along the way, and the strength was close to 30,000, so it was useless to let these people fight, even if they could catch up with the Zhao people.
"My lord, the new military camp has limited combat power, and I am afraid it will not be able to play a role."
Ying Zheng nodded, "The soldiers have to guard against it, and order the light cavalry battalion to prepare, and once the Zhao army really retreats, pursue immediately." ”
It didn't take long for the new battalion to enter the front camp, and the generals on the left and right urged again and again, and then look at these people, the armor on their bodies was shabby, the weapons in their hands were even better, and the formation could not be neat.
Ying Zheng looks at it in his eyes, it is indeed not the same, the dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, the son of the mouse will make a hole, look at the old Qin people, all of them are physically strong, and they are fearless on the battlefield, and then look at these Chu people, they are not inferior to the Qin people in terms of body, but unfortunately their eyes are dull, and they are even more fearful.
"The new army is divided into three ways to attack the Zhao army's camp, and the three of you will each lead 2,000 men and horses to respond to the rear, and those who retreat on the battlefield will be killed!" King Qin issued a death order, and the new military camp had to attack, most of them were Chu people, who were unlucky to be caught by the Qin people, and now they have to be used as cannon fodder.
"Grind!" The new army's march speed suddenly slowed down, the generals were annoyed, the king and a group of generals watched from behind, and what kind of soldiers were brought out directly reflected the generals' skills. The Qin army has the advantage, even so, it still does not dare to be careless, not afraid, although the arrow tower is useless, the appearance of the Zhao army cavalry yesterday makes people dare not underestimate it, the most important thing is that they don't know anything about the situation of the Zhao army, how many soldiers and horses the other party has, how the camp is equipped, all of them are mysteries, if only the archers are configured above the arrow tower, the others are cavalry, even if the army pursues at this time, it is also in vain.
