On the first day of the official attack on Daliang, the Hezong army broke through the first line of defense of the Qin army's defensive position outside the city, and the whole army was naturally greatly inspired, so on the second day, Gao Yuan commanded the Hezong army to launch an attack on the second line of defense of the Qin army's defensive position outside the city, and it was still the use of lightning strike vehicles as the main strike weapon.

However, this time the Qin army did not stick to the position, but fought out of the position and launched an attack on the Hezong army.

It turned out that after a night of thinking, Wang Ben still couldn't find a way to deal with the lightning strike car, because the projection distance of the lightning strike car was too far, so if he stuck to the position again, the result could only be the same as the first line of defense, passively beaten, until the defense line was completely lost, and he could only take the initiative to attack and engage in close combat with the combined army, so that the lightning strike car could not give full play to its advantages.

Although in this way, he can only fight hard with the Hezong army, but Wang Ben only has this choice, and Wang Ben is still confident in the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, after all, in the Hezong army, the Qi army is still the majority, so the two sides fight hard, and the Qin army still has a greater chance of winning.

But Wang Ben's idea has already been high, although the number of the Han army is not large, but it has brought a lot of trump cards, so this time it is the turn of the Han army's cavalry. The plateau arranged the heavy armored cavalry in the middle and the light cavalry on both wings, using the tactics of chiseling through the middle and roundabout on both sides, and the result was a great defeat of the Qin army, and the Qin army was killed in the battle. In desperation, Wang Ben had no choice but to retreat to the position to garrison, and this time, the lightning strike vehicles of the Han army began to exert their power again, launching a long-range attack on the position of the Qin army.

Seeing that he couldn't fight and couldn't defend it, Wang Ben could only give an order to abandon the position outside the city and retreat to Daliang City.

Originally, according to Wang Ben's estimate, it would take about fifteen days for the combined column army to conquer the defensive positions outside the Qin army, and at the same time, it would have to pay about 60,000 losses. However, the actual result was that under the command of Gao Yuan, the Hezong army drove all the Qin troops into Daliang City in only three days, while the number of soldiers killed in the Hezong army was less than 10,000, and nearly 7,000 people were injured; In these three days of fighting, the Qin army lost nearly 15,000 troops and more than 10,000 wounded soldiers, so whether it is from the results or the casualty ratio, the Hezong army can be regarded as the first stage of the victory in the attack on Daliang.

Although the Hezong Army was able to achieve a phased victory, mainly because of the 40 mine-striking vehicles, the command ability of the plateau and the strong combat effectiveness of the Han army were equally important, and the Qi army also played a significant role.

After losing all the defensive positions outside the city, Wang Ben was also shocked, originally he was full of confidence in holding the beam, but now there is no bottom, after all, the deterrent effect brought to him by the lightning strike car is too great, he never thought that the army would have such a terrible weapon.

Therefore, Wang Ben hurriedly sent an urgent document to Xianyang, explaining in detail that the Hezong army used a very powerful trebuchet, which could throw stones at a distance of 400 steps, and at the same time sent people to urge the Qin army to help, so that they could step up their march and rush to Daliang as much as possible, after all, the situation in Daliang is too urgent now, and if you can have more strength, the probability of holding Daliang can be increased by one point.

The joint column army occupied the Qin army's position outside the city, and the plateau did not rest and recuperate, but immediately sent troops to attack Daliang City, of course, it still used lightning strike vehicles as the main means of attack, so forty lightning strike vehicles lined up in front of Daliang City, still divided into two groups, and threw burning stones to Daliang City.

Although the city wall of Daliang City is high and thick, the projection distance of the lightning strike car is too far, so most of the stones thrown are either smashed on the city wall, or they cross the city wall, and fall directly into the Daliang City, even if some stones only hit the side wall of the city wall, but because the stones thrown by the lightning strike car carry a huge potential energy, the stone chips on the city are splashed, uneven, and even the city wall is faintly trembling, and the momentum caused is also very amazing.

In fact, the Qin army also prepared a large number of defenders in Daliang City, with hundreds of bed crossbows and trebuchets, and at this time they also started to fight back at the joint column, but although the Qin army's city defenders had a high advantage, they were far inferior to the lightning attack vehicles in the range, so they could not hit the Han army at all, and the lightning attack vehicles could continue to throw large and small stones at Daliang City, killing and wounding a lot of Qin soldiers who operated the city defense equipment, and the Qin soldiers could only hide under the battlements one after another. I can hardly raise my head, but although the Qin army has no power to fight back, the actual damage to Daliang City is very limited, and the stones on the side wall of the city wall are actually only the surface layer of the city wall, and they cannot hurt the root of the city wall, and the stones that hit the head of the city can be smashed to death and injured some Qin soldiers and the equipment defending the city, but the number of kills and injuries is not much, and the Qin army also has enough people to afford it, so it almost does no damage to the defense on the city wall.

The stones that fell into Daliang City could only smash the houses of some residents, although it might cause some fires, but Wang Ben had already prepared for this, arranged a lot of manpower in the city and under the city, and also organized some residents to extinguish the fire immediately, so it did not cause a lot of damage.

But in the battle outside the city a few days ago, the lightning strike car has always been the Guan Jian weapon for the victory of the Hezong army, so it has given birth to a big shadow in the heart of the Qin army, and now the Qin army has retreated into Daliang City, and the lightning strike car is also helpless, which also makes many Qin troops have the idea that they can't deal with the lightning strike car at all.

Although Wang Ben also knew that this idea was terrible, but there was no way to deal with it, now Wang Ben only thought that the reinforcements of the Qin army would arrive earlier, so that the Qin army would not lose to the combined column army in terms of strength, and could go out of the city to engage the combined column army, so as to be able to offset the advantage of the combined column army's lightning strike vehicles. In addition to the strong combat effectiveness of the Han army, there is also a very important factor, that is, every battle in which the Qin army is inferior and engages with the combined army.

Of course, Wang Ben also knew that now the men and horses of the Hezong army have not arrived, the Han army has only come part, and the Chu army has not arrived at all, so when all the Hezong army arrives, the strength will naturally be above the Qin army, and the Qin army will also not be able to cope with it at that time, but this is a matter of the future after all, it will take a while for the Han and Chu armies to arrive, and now they can only deal with the current situation first.

However, the Hezong army projected stones to Daliang City with a lightning strike vehicle for a day, but did not launch a siege operation on Daliang City, so he collected his troops and returned to the village, so Wang Ben was a little relieved. The next day, the army stopped attacking and did not attack Daliang City again, Wang Ben also felt very strange, so he sent spies out of the city to inquire, and got the news that the army was mining stones in the nearby mountains.

After Wang Ben learned, he was greatly relieved, in the battle of the past few days, the combined column army did consume a large number of stones, so the spare stones in the camp were used up, it is not surprising, and the area east of the Liang is mainly plains, there are not many mountains, if you want to replenish the stones, it is not easy to arrive, it seems that your luck is not bad, if the combined column army prepared more stones, or there is a big mountain near the Liang City, maybe the Liang City has already been broken by the United Column Army.

And three days later, the reinforcements of the 100,000 Qin army finally arrived in Daliang, and Wang Ben was completely relieved, and now he finally has enough troops to fight another battle with the Hezong army, so Wang Ben also considered whether he should lead the army to attack tomorrow and take the initiative to start a war with the Hezong army.

But at this moment, Wang Ben got the news that the front of the Chu army, about 100,000 people, had arrived at the camp of the Hezong army, and there were 200,000 Chu troops, which were expected to arrive within a month, and the follow-up army of the Han army was also about to arrive, and the follow-up Han army also brought a hundred lightning strike vehicles.

After learning these news, Wang Ben immediately dispelled the idea of going to war, but instead arranged a defense in Daliang City with all his might, preparing to resist the attack of the Hezhong army.

In fact, in the past few days, Wang Ben discussed with his generals every day how to deal with the lightning car, of course, it is impossible to find a way to confront the lightning car now, because the Qin army does not have weapons that can fight so far, and in the foreseeable time, it cannot be manufactured, unless the Qin army can get a few lightning cars to imitate, but Wang Ben also knows that it is almost as difficult to get a lightning car from the Han army as it is to fight against the lightning car. Therefore, the main content of the Qin army's discussion was actually how to preserve their strength under the blow of the lightning strike vehicle, and still have enough strength to defend Daliang City after the joint column army launched a siege.

After all, he has seen several battles with the lightning strike car, and Qin Jun also has a certain understanding of the power of the lightning strike car, so after a few days of discussion, Qin Jun came up with a few ways to deal with it, after all, the lightning strike car is not really invincible, as long as you think about it carefully, it is not that there is no way to deal with it.

The Qin army negotiated the following methods: first, the soldiers defending the city should hide under the battlements as much as possible, so that they could avoid the blows of the stones, and when the combined army launched a siege battle, the Qin army could immediately turn to the battle of defending the city; Second, the big equipment for defending the city can not be hidden under the battlements, so they are all moved to the city and placed by the city wall, which is the dead end of the stone strike, and can also be dragged up the city wall in the shortest possible time to guard the city of Liang; The third is to demolish all the houses within 100 steps of the city wall and move the residents to live in the city, so as to avoid the blows of stones falling into the city, mainly to avoid the spread of fire.

These methods are basically based on the strong walls of Daliang City, which can minimize the blow of the lightning strike vehicle, and ensure that the Qin army still has enough strength to defend the city, which is also fundamentally different from the position outside the city.
