Chapter 583: Attack and Defense (2)

Although the battle has been very fierce, both sides still use long-range weapons to attack each other, and have not entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat. And the chariots of the Qin army were still slowly advancing towards the position of the Dai army.

In front of the outer defense line of the Dai army, there is also a low wall area about two feet high, about forty or fifty steps deep, the low wall is made of mud and sand bags, about four or five feet thick, a little like an unfinished fortification, but the low wall is scattered, intermittent, and there are at least three or four, it does not look like an ordinary fortification, I don't know what the road is used for.

But soon a Linchong Lu bus hit a low wall first.

Although the speed of the Linchong Lv bus is not fast, it is about the same as the normal walking speed of people, but because of the huge size of the Linchong Lv bus, the weight is naturally not small, so the impact force is very amazing. Therefore, whether it was the Qin army watching the battle in the rear formation, or the Qin army in the Linchong Lu bus, they were full of confidence, thinking that as long as the Linchong Lu bus broke forward, this small earthen wall would be easily crossed like paper paste.

But when the Linchong Lu bus hit the earthen wall, the result was greatly beyond everyone's expectations, only to hear a muffled sound of "bang", the Linchong Lu bus suddenly shook, stopped in front of the low wall, in the car many soldiers because of defenseless, and fell on the board, but the low wall is not moving.

And not only the Linchong Lu bus, but also the other chariots of the Qin army also crashed into the low wall, but without exception, they were all blocked in front of the low wall, and none of the vehicles were able to crash through the low wall and rush forward.

The other chariots were much easier than the Linchonglu bus, and the speed was naturally much faster, so it could suddenly exert force in a short period of time, which could make the chariot sprint at a faster speed. Therefore, some chariots saw that they could not hit the low wall, and immediately reversed backwards, and after pulling a distance, they suddenly exerted their strength and rushed forward to crash into the low wall, but as a result, not only did they fail to hit the low wall, but some chariots instead crashed into the body cracked, and a few chariots accidentally hit the chariots behind them when reversing.

The earthen wall, which is more than two feet high, is like a cast of copper and iron, which is unstoppable and unbreakable, which also makes Qin Jun puzzled, could it be that he hit a ghost today?

In fact, of course, the Qin army did not hit the ghost, it turned out that the mud and sand bags were just the appearance, in the mud and sand bags, there was actually a row of short wooden stakes, the interval of each wooden stake was only more than two feet, and the exposed ground was less than two feet, but buried in the ground reached four or five feet deep, and then covered with mud and sand bags, from the appearance, it was not visible at all, and anyone would think that it was a low wall made of ordinary mud and sand bags. But it was so strong that it was no wonder that the chariot could crash through.

More and more Qin chariots were blocked by the low wall, but the low walls were intermittent, so some chariots were very sensitive to drive through the gap in the low wall, but there were at least three or four of these low walls, interlaced with each other, even if they passed through a gap, but they could not travel a few steps away, they were blocked by the second low wall, and the chariot could only turn to drive along the low wall, looking for a gap that could be passed.

However, although each vehicle is capable of automatic steering, it is not flexible enough, and the gap is not large, and there are often several vehicles passing through the gap together, so when it comes to turning, they will squeeze and collide with each other, and they will become a mess.

There are also some wishful cars that can't hit these low walls, so they simply open their roofs and put them on the low walls to let other vehicles pass through. Since the wall is only two feet high, and the Ruyi can build a four-foot long wooden bridge, it can be used as a springboard for other vehicles to pass through the wall.

But the Ruyi car can only be built on one side of the low wall as a springboard for the chariot to go up, and can not be built on the other side of the gangplank to let the chariot down, can only let the chariot jump hard from the low wall, and two feet is not high, the average person can easily step over, but it is very strong for the chariot, and many chariots fall down, roll over, or smash the wheels and so on when they go down the low wall, all happen.

In any case, other chariots can also pass through the low wall from the springboard, but the three Lu Gong Linchong cars have no way at all, the gap in the low wall is obviously not allowed to pass through the huge Linchong Lu bus, and it is even more impossible to pass through the low wall from the springboard that has been set up, not to mention how difficult it is for the huge Linchong Lu bus to climb the hill, that is, the moment when the earth wall is lowered. For the tall center of gravity Linchong Lu bus, it is even more unimaginable. Therefore, the three Linchong Lu buses were blocked at the low wall and could not move forward at all.

Of course, the Dai army would not just watch the Qin army's chariots being blocked at the low wall, and at this time, the Qin army's chariots had basically entered within fifty steps of the Dai army's defense line, so the Dai army's bows and crossbows fired in unison, and the arrows were as dense as rain for a while, shooting at the Qin army's chariots.

Although the bow and arrow did not do any harm to the chariot of the Qin army, the Dai army had already prepared for this, and all the arrows shot were rockets, that is, a piece of cloth was tied to the part of the arrow, and the fire was lit and then launched out, although the fire was not big, and there was a part of it that had been extinguished in mid-air, but the spark of the stars could also burn the prairie fire, plus the large number of bows and arrows shot by the Dai army, if a chariot was hit by dozens of arrows, or even hundreds of arrows, I am afraid it would not be able to stand it. What's more, there are even more powerful fire and oil arrows in the army.

Because the distance between the two sides is shortened at this time, the accuracy of the fire oil arrows launched is also higher, although the fire oil arrows of the Dai army are concentrated on the three huge Linchong Lu buses, but the so-called city gate fire, affecting the pond fish, the chariots around the Linchong Lu bus have also been affected a lot, there are a few fire oil arrows are in the air to burn and explode, but the fire oil is splashed, from the air to the chariot, not long time to effort, the vast majority of the Qin army chariots have ignited flames, but there are big and small. Some of the Qin soldiers in the chariot escaped from the chariot and threw out the flames, but they were killed and wounded by arrows.

The situation of the three Linchong Lu buses is the most serious, because the target is conspicuous, and it is the target of the key attack of the army, each of them has been hit by several fire oil arrows, many places are on fire, although there is a lot of water stored in the Linchong Lu bus, but it is difficult to extinguish the fire, and the flames on one of the Linchong Lu buses are completely burning, and the Qin soldiers in the car have fled.

The chariots of the Qin army were blocked by the low wall, and the generals who watched the battle from the back of both sides naturally saw it very clearly, and the soldiers of the Dai army were of course very excited and applauded, while the generals of the Qin army were dumbfounded, and they never thought that their chariots were actually blocked by a few inconspicuous low walls, and they completely fell into a situation of passive beating.

At this time, Meng Tian came to Han Teng's front and said, "General, hurry up and send the infantry army to reinforce it." ”

To be honest, Han Teng was also a little confused at this time, because the battle situation in front of him was indeed completely different from what he expected, the invincible chariots in the last battle actually seemed so clumsy and fragile in this battle, if you only looked at today's battlefield, no one would have thought that the Qin army would rely on these chariots to win the last battle.

After listening to Meng Tian's words, Han Teng was stunned for a moment and said, "Can we win by sending the infantry army up to reinforce now?" ”

Meng Tian said: "Of course we can win, now our chariot is actually blocked by the low wall of the army, so it seems very passive, if you send some infantry reinforcements to help the chariot clear the obstruction of the low wall, so that the chariot can start driving again, you can continue to exert the power of the chariot, so please don't hesitate, immediately send infantry reinforcements, otherwise it will ......"

Just before Meng Tian's words were finished, he only heard the sound of killing in the formation of the Dai army, and saw the Dai soldiers rushing out of their bunkers and trenches one after another, each holding their weapons, and many soldiers holding torches and rushing up to the chariot of the Qin army.

And Meng Tian's face changed greatly, although he had agreed with Meng Wu's statement and had serious doubts about Han Teng, but now Han Teng is still the general of the Qin army, and he is also leading the army of the Qin army, if the Qin army is defeated, the loss is naturally the interests of the Qin State, so of course Meng Tian can't sit back and watch the Qin army fall into an unfavorable situation, so he made suggestions to Han Teng, and let the infantry attack to save the situation, and seeing the soldiers attacking, Meng Tian also understood the urgency of the situation. The chariot was enough to be completely defeated, so he hurriedly said: "General, don't hesitate at this time, please give the order immediately and send an army to meet the battle, it is best to send the giant army under the general, otherwise it will be too late." ”

Just when Meng Tian urged Han Teng to send reinforcements, the soldiers jumped out of the bunker trench and killed on the battlefield, because the chariots of the Qin army had basically entered within fifty steps of the daijun defense line, and the low wall naturally could not block the infantry assault, so after coming out of the bunker trench, they soon came to the battlefield.

At this time, many Qin soldiers in the chariot had already come out, some were fighting the flames on the chariot, some were clearing the low wall, and a few were busy repairing the damaged chariot. Seeing the surrogate soldiers coming, some people hid back on the chariots, and some people took up arms to meet the surrogate soldiers.

But the number of Qin soldiers was too small, and the Qin soldiers who drove the chariot were not elite soldiers, and they were not the opponents of the Dai army at all, so they were killed by the Dai army and fell to the ground, and the Dai army not only did something to the Qin soldiers who got out of the chariot, but also a considerable part of the Dai army rushed to the chariot.

Before the attack, the Dai army was obviously also seriously prepared, attacking the chariot in a unit, and avoiding the front of the chariot equipped with powerful weapons, but attacking from the flank. Although all chariots had windows on their sides that allowed them to shoot arrows or stab them with spears, the Dai army's shields were able to block these attacks from the Qin army, and then attack at close range.
