sweeping the world

Chapter 327
From dawn to dusk, the day passed like that.

During the day, the Qiang army erected sections of high walls about [-] steps in front of the Han army camp. Their footsteps were only [-] steps away, and they did not take another step forward.

The high wooden wall is definitely not the pursuit of the Qiang troops. They actually started to stack sandbags outside the high wall, and soon a series of objects piled up with sandbags appeared.

The Han army will shoot arrows in the morning, but only the Qiang troops will shoot arrows while stacking sandbags.The reduction in the frequency of the Han army's shooting arrows greatly boosted the morale of the Qiang people. They thought they had found the right way to counteract the Han army's bows and crossbows.

"No, no, no." Facing the blind optimism of his generals, Yao Yizhong told the cruel truth: "It's just that there is a slight barrier two hundred steps away, or the Han army didn't move the catapult forward."

From this point of view, Yao Yizhong was still awake, not overjoyed by the temporary progress.He also didn't expect to make great progress in a day, after all, which battle with more than [-] people will be decided in a few days?It is normal for any battle to last three to five years. He wanted to rush for success, but he knew that it would take a few months.

In Liu Yan's opinion, it is not a big deal for the Qiang people to build wooden walls, but it is unbearable to pile up sandbags and build earthen walls.

The Han army's trebuchets were mobilized in the evening. Amidst the sounds of wood scraping, a calibrated stone bullet was launched. After flying in the air, it landed among a pile of sandbags. middle.

A stone bullet weighing about twenty catties fell, and at the same time as the dull sound was made, the sandbags that were hit were splashed all around in an instant.It was a situation where the sandbags were broken, and the broken sacks and sand and stones splashed all over the place. People around were all screaming when they were touched by the flying sand and stones.

When a modern car is running, the wheels hit the stones and are splashed out. What kind of damage will it cause if it is hit?The kinetic energy generated by the falling stone bullet will not be much less than the kinetic energy of the stone that is rolled over and splashed by the wheel, so one can imagine the damage it will cause.

The first test shot hits, then the other catapult vehicles, as long as they are set according to the scale, can basically drop the stone projectiles fired around.

The sounds of sore teeth resounded frequently in the Han army camp one after another. Each sound would bring up a stone bullet and be thrown into the air. They would break through the air and make a strange "wuwu" sound, and then hit them heavily. Go down.

The three camps of the Han army all have catapults to launch. There should be about [-] of them. A volley of [-] stone bullets will fall. They will not all hit the target they want to attack, but will hit the sandbags. It is the muffled sound that produces sand and soil splashing, and when it hits the wooden wall, sawdust and wooden sticks fly horizontally, hitting the human body... what is left is a piece of flesh and blood.

The terror produced by the equipment is spreading, and the continuous dull sound, each of which can make the Qiang soldiers' hearts tremble, and the morale that was originally boosted is slowly reduced and lowered in the dull sound after sound.This is the power of equipment, the power that can change the general situation!
Yao Yizhong heard the news that he had left the Chinese army and came not far from the front line. He looked at his own soldiers who were fleeing in all directions with a calm face.

How much did the Qiang troops spend to build those high walls? The Han army just moved their trebuchets forward to attack, spending a lot of manpower and material resources and causing thousands of casualties, but the results were almost destroyed in one day!
"Military Lord." Hu Yansheng asked cautiously: "Is it still in the plan?"

Yao Yizhong just nodded.

They had long expected that the Han army would counterattack, and they had never forgotten the Han army's catapult carts, so what they did during the day, including the blows they encountered, were actually psychologically prepared.

The Han army's catapults fired stone bullets all night long, waiting for another morning to come, and the light once again fell on the earth. Where the high wall originally stood, it became an extremely messy place.

There are stone bombs everywhere on the ground, the high wall made of stacked sandbags is soft, the high wooden wall is tilted and broken on the ground, and all kinds of complete or mutilated corpses are scattered everywhere.

Not all the fortifications were destroyed by the Han army. About [-]% of the fortifications were preserved. However, the Han army's trebuchets were too brutal and caused all the Qiang troops to retreat.

In the early morning, Yao Yizhong reappeared at the front, silently watching the tragic situation ahead, behind him were [-] to [-] Qiang troops who had completed their preparations again.

No need to pay special attention, the new batch of equipment is standing in the middle of the troops, it seems that Yao Yizhong still wants to let the troops under his command do their homework like the day before?
As soon as the drums sounded, the Qiang soldiers chanted again to push forward the sword and shield chariot and other equipment. When they entered the range of the Han army's strong crossbow, the sky was once again filled with crossbow arrows.

Perhaps because of the previous day's experience, the Qiang troops moved much faster this time than the first time, and it only took half the time to push the new batch of equipment into place.

Among those equipment, there appeared the shadow of a rushing car. It was a huge product with wheels on the bottom, and a triangular shape on the top, covered with iron sheets. Most of them were used to hit the city gate, but this time it was used In the field offensive, the purpose is nothing more than to block arrows.

The movements of the Han army remained the same as the day before. The Qiang troops reached the range of what weapons the Han army used to greet them. The endless normal crossbow arrows and thick crossbow arrows made the faces of Yao Yizhong and others always look blank. Stern look.

"How many arrows do they have in stock?" Hu Yansheng was a little annoyed: "It doesn't make sense at all!"

Liu Yancai has risen for five years. Even if he is well managed, he shouldn’t have such a strong productivity. It’s just that the weapons and armor are the best in the world. Which of the bed crossbows, cart crossbows, and catapults doesn’t require a deep foundation to manufacture them?Didn't you find that there are only so many long-distance equipment such as bed crossbows, chariot crossbows, and catapults in the world today!

The real situation is that Shijie Zhao Guo can also manufacture large-scale long-range equipment, but Shihu firmly holds those craftsmen in his hands. There are no similar craftsmen in the world.

In addition, there are really only a few countries in the world today that are installing bed crossbows, cart crossbows, and trebuchets, namely the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shijie Zhao State, and Murong Yan State. This is not only a limitation of resources, but also the scarcity of craftsmen who have the relevant skills. .

Any craftsman who masters the country's most important weapon will not be flooded. The number of craftsmen limits the production capacity, and it is not that countries are unwilling to increase craftsmen who master related technologies. The same knowledge is for people to master, but it does not mean that everyone can learn it. must.

Not only Hu Yansheng, but even Yao Yizhong and even all the important ministers of Shijie Zhao, they couldn't figure out why Liu Yan was able to rise so quickly. In the early stage, they guessed that they got help from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but after a little thought, they couldn't figure it out. Possibly, if the Eastern Jin Dynasty had such strength, would it still be nested in the south of the Yangtze River?

Yao Yizhong knew that no matter how the Qiang troops set up fortifications, they would be attacked by the Han army, but in many cases, they knew they had to do it, especially when it came to the layout.

"This time, it is still the catapult that seduces the Han army."

"Yes!"

The repeated homework was going on again, during which the Han army's long-range strikes never stopped, that is, the Qiang army had new tricks than the day before.

"Report!!!" A scout came back, and the man shouted immediately before dismounting: "We found enemy cavalry behind our camp, and the number is about [-]!"

The new news made Liu Yan frowned.

The Han army's camp was centered on Luoyin, with Jishui on the back, leaving about ten miles of activity space in the middle.The three camps are in the shape of the character "PIN", and the focus of the Qiang troops' exploration has always been the two characters "口" on the left and right of the character "PIN".

There will be some emphasis when setting up a camp. Generally, it is more focused on the direction facing the enemy, and it will indeed appear slightly weaker behind it.That is not only a slight reduction in fortifications, but also the number of defensive troops.

It is inevitable to mobilize the necessary bow and crossbow troops to strengthen the defense, but as the Qiang cavalry appeared behind the camp, Qiang cavalry also began to appear on the other three sides, that is the disadvantage of the number of troops.

"Completely passive defense is not feasible!" Sang Yu was talking about military common sense. It is not advisable to defend to the death, and it is even more undesirable to be completely cowed. He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, will you send cavalry to fight with us?"

The number of cavalry brought by Liu Yan was not many, and some were "made up" within a few days, but there were only [-] archers and [-] assault cavalry, and the tiger and cardinal army with heavy cavalry was still coming to help On the way.

Soon, the gate behind the Han army was opened, and about [-] cavalrymen roared out amidst the heavy sound of horseshoes beating drums.

When Yao Yizhong received the news that the Han army had dispatched cavalry, he immediately laughed "haha". After laughing, he said to his subordinates in a tone of control: "Our goal has been achieved!"

The Qiang army is not afraid of the Han army going out to meet them. What they are afraid of is that the Han army will use their bows and crossbows to defend against death. Yao Yizhong firmly believes that as long as the Han army is willing to fight in the field, they will win. It is all because they have enough troops. But it was only [-].

"Every time there is a first time, there will be a second time!" Hu Yansheng looked relieved and said: "Every time we kill a Han soldier in the field, it means that Liu Yan has one less available soldier! "

The field riding battle happened quickly, and it was an engagement in a long and narrow terrain.Because Yao Yizhong was holding the mentality of fighting and wasting, the Qingqi of the Qiang nationality didn't go around too much, and went head-on from the beginning.

The cavalry of the Han army who went out to fight did not dodge either. They charged directly under Liu Yan's order.

At the moment when the two armies were about to collide, Liu Yan and Yao Yizhong, the commanders, both moved to a position where they could see the dust and smoke with their naked eyes. The sound is also shouted, the red wave and the colorful wave beat each other...
