The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Luo Xing picked up the purple tasseled helmet beside him, put it on his head, and got up from the ground. Seeing this, Ai Qun and the other three also got up from the campfire.

Luo Xing took two steps towards Liu Guangzhan, and lightly patted Liu Guangzhan's foot on the back of the Jin army scout. Seeing this, Liu Guangzhan immediately moved his foot to give the Jin army scout a breathing room. He patted the Jin army scout's face, and asked with a gentle smile, "Come on, tell me, what's your name!"

"I...I...my name is Wang Sanshi!" The Jin army scout looked at Luo Xing with fear and replied, his tongue seemed to be tied up, and he couldn't speak clearly. In the close range, Luo Xing replied. Xing found that this Jin army scout was very young, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old.

PS: "Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for monthly tickets, ask for full reservations, and ask for four daily tickets!"

Chapter 552 Battle of Yellowstone ([-])

What a patriotic boy!

"Don't be nervous, this general is not a big bug, he doesn't eat people, just relax!" Luo Xing said with a smile.

After saying this, Wang Sanshi became even more nervous and fearful. The smile on Luo Xing's face, to him, was undoubtedly the smile before the devil ate people, it was too permeating!

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

"Huang...Huang Chengdong, Captain Huang!"

"Who is Huang Chengdong?"

"Scout Battalion Lieutenant!"

"What did he send you for?"

"Find out the strength of the Qin army, and if there is a chance, burn the Qin army's food and grass!"

"Apart from you, who else came to investigate together?"

"There are ten of them, divided into five groups. I was in the first group. Captain Huang didn't dare to send too many people. There are too many people and there is a lot of noise. I was arrested and the other one was killed!"

"How many troops are there at Huangshi Pass?"

Luo Xing took every step, one question after another, Wang Sanshi answered every question, but when Luo Xing asked how many troops there were in Huangshiguan, Wang Sanshi chose to remain silent, obviously he, a pawn, knew that the troops could not answer.

"How many troops does Huangshiguan have?" Luo Xing continued to ask.

"I...I can't say it. If I say it, I will be executed everywhere. General, general, let me go, please let me go!" Wang Sanshi began to cry and beg for mercy, and kept asking Luo Xing for help. Kowtowing and bowing, there is no other emotion on the face except fear.

Luo Xing stood up straight, pulled out the sword from his waist, and placed the cold blade on the back of Wang Sanshi's neck. The coldness conveyed by the blade made Wang Sanshi's body stiff and trembling!

"Ben will give you the best chance again, say it, spare you, let you go back, don't say it, I will kill you now, not only that, when the Qin army breaks through Huangshi Pass, I will find your family , and then execute your whole family!" Luo Xing said in a cold tone with a cold expression on his face.

Gollum!

Wang Sanshi swallowed a mouthful of saliva in great fear, and replied with a mournful face: "Huangshi Pass has 30 troops, led by His Majesty himself. On the tower of Huangshi Pass, there are [-] cart crossbows and [-] kerosene vehicles. And a thousand catapults!"

After being frightened by Luo Xing, Wang Sanshi not only stated the strength of the troops, but also the number and location of the siege equipment, so that Luo Xing, Ai Qun, Ning Zhaosi, and Ye Qiong could instantly understand the deployment of the Jin army. .

Luo Xing stared at Wang Sanshi, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, so he removed the blade on the back of Wang Sanshi's neck, put the sword back into its sheath, waved his hand and said, "Let him go!"

"Let it go? Don't kill him? When he goes back, wouldn't the Jin army know about our strength?" Ye Qiong said hesitantly.

Hearing these words, Wang Sanshi's unrelenting heart rose again, and his whole body began to tremble with fear again.

"We are the attacking side. Sooner or later the strength of our troops will be exposed to the Jin army. There is no need to kill him. Let him go. Besides, didn't he say that there are four groups of Jin army scouts? Find them and kill them all!" Luo said. Star said calmly.

Ye Qiong didn't answer any more, she was tacitly acquiescing Luo Xing's point of view. Seeing that no one was objecting to Luo Xing's words, the school captain Liu Guangzhan directly mentioned Wang Sanshi and left like a chicken. It's not that Liu Guangzhan was too strong , but Wang Sanshi is really too thin.

The scout battalion is generally composed of soldiers with the highest quality individual soldiers in the army. From Wang Sanshi, we can see that the overall quality of individual soldiers of the Jin army is not qualified to wash the feet of the Qin army. If the army picks out a soldier, he can fight three with one, and with a suit of equipment, it is not impossible for one to be worth ten!

"General, the Jin army is afraid that they will fight us out of their homes. Three hundred ballistas, three hundred kerosene trucks, and one thousand catapults. These siege equipment are enough to cause heavy casualties to our army. The situation cannot be tolerated." Optimistic!" Ai Qun said with a serious expression and frowning.

Luo Xing didn't answer Ai Qun immediately, but sat back by the bonfire, took off the purple tasseled helmet on his head, and put it beside him. Behind him, waiting for Luo Xing's reply.

Luo Xing replied calmly while firing: "The Jin army's siege equipment, I don't worry about it, they have it, and we also have it, and our siege equipment is more advanced than theirs, more powerful, and surpasses them in number. Jin army!"

The technology of the Daqin Ordnance Department is at least 30 years ahead of the Kyushu countries, and every once in a while, the Ordnance Department will research new forging technology, which greatly improves the performance of Daqin's siege equipment and even weapons, such as catapults.

The catapults produced by various countries can only throw between [-] and [-] steps, while the catapult produced by the Ordnance Department of the Great Qin Empire has a throwing distance of [-] steps, which is twice as powerful as ordinary catapults and can throw ordinary catapults. Car twice as big rocks.

Anything with a thickness of no more than three feet will surely create a big hole when it is dropped. This is not a theory, but an experiment. Of course, in order to upgrade the performance of siege equipment and weapons, the Ordnance Department spent money from various countries. Invest twenty times or even thirty times as much as the Ordnance Department.

If you pay, you will be rewarded. The Great Qin Empire did not spend so much money in vain.

The performance of the kerosene truck is even more terrifying. The throwing range exceeds [-] steps, and it can throw a kerosene tank twice the size of an ordinary kerosene truck. Once it hits it, the fire will burn within ten steps, and it can burn a stick of incense. It has also been upgraded.

The original Qin ballista has a range of [-] steps to [-] steps, and its accurate range is [-] steps. It shoots ten iron arrows at a time. After the upgrade, the Qin ballista has a range of [-] steps and a precise range of [-]. step, shoot ten iron arrows at once.

Whether it is before or after the upgrade, it is the existence of crushing the ballista of other countries. Playing with hard conditions, there is really no empire that has played Daqin.

"What the general said is true, but we still have to attack the city. Once they attack the city, they use siege equipment to deal with us. Wouldn't that cause casualties? We can't attack the city at the same time, and at the same time use the siege equipment to smash Huangshiguan Right?" Ai Qun still didn't understand Luo Xing's meaning, still frowning.

Hearing Ai Qun's words, Luo Xing couldn't help feeling speechless, say Ai Qun is stupid, he is very smart, say Ai Qun is smart, he is stupid, he said it so obviously, he has not realized his intention .

"What this general means is not to send infantry to attack the city, but to use siege equipment to smash at Huangshi Pass, and keep hitting until the Jin army is overwhelmed, or Huangshi Pass is overwhelmed!" Luo Xing explained with a rather helpless expression. .

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a reward, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a full reservation, and asking for four daily requests. I hope you can support me a lot!"

Chapter 553 Battle of Yellowstone! (three)

The Qin army's attack on Huangshiguan did not take advantage of the right time, place and people. The only advantage was that it had a large number of siege equipment. When the opponent's strength was more than three times that of his own, he naturally had to use his own advantages to suppress the opponent's disadvantages.

Crazy smashing, covering firepower, smashing Huangshiguan into pieces, smashing their siege equipment clean, and then sending infantry to harvest, so that Huangshiguan can be captured with the least casualties.

"Oh, that's it!" Ai Qun finally realized Luo Xing's intentions after hearing this explanation. Ning Zhaosi and Ye Qiong also felt that they had learned it. It was a good move to defeat the enemy with long-range weapons military!

Luo Xing glanced at the three people who suddenly realized, and then said: "Now you know why I don't worry about the Jin army's siege equipment, right?"

"Understood, use the siege equipment to smash the siege equipment of the Jin army, so that the opponent loses at least half of the strength to fight back, and we can let go and send infantry to attack the city!" Ye Qiong had a smile on his face. Said intentionally.

Luo Xing nodded in satisfaction, and then immediately said: "What I am worried about now is the strength of the Jin army. They have 30 troops, and we only have [-]. We are still the attacking side, even if we destroy the siege equipment on the other side. , they still have the advantage in force!"

"In a siege battle, the winner is generally the one with the superior force. It is very difficult for us to win. I also thought about using siege equipment to wipe out the Jin army at Huangshiguan, but considering that our projectiles are not enough to wipe out Jin army, so we still have to rely on soldiers to win the city!"

"General, let's take one step at a time, adapt to the situation, and believe that there will always be a chance to break Huangshi Pass!" Ning Zhaosi said solemnly.

Luo Xing nodded, now there seems to be no other way but to take a step and watch.

After a period of time, Luo Xing returned to his camp to rest, and Liu Guangzhan, the captain of the scout battalion, also captured the other four groups of Jin army scouts. Liu Guangzhan followed Luo Xing's order, killed them directly, and buried them on the spot, making this piece of fertile soil more A few bones, a few dead souls added!

At the same time, Huangshiguan!

Inside the Huangshi Pass, there are rows of white tents standing tall, and a large number of blue Jin character army flags fluttering in the wind in the dark night. This is the Huangshi Camp with an army of 30. Outside each tent, there is almost a pile of bonfires. There is no one to keep warm, and most of the soldiers of the Jin army have fallen asleep, accumulating energy for the possible war tomorrow!

The commander's tent in the center of the camp was brightly lit, and people could be seen swaying inside from the outside. If you walked in and took a look, you would find that the most honorable ninth-five ruler of the Great Jin Empire was sitting in the commander-in-chief position.

Jin Emperor Min Ziyi wore a golden-blue battle armor, a golden tasseled helmet on his head, a blue five-clawed dragon-patterned cloak on his shoulders, a dragon-headed belt as a restraint on his waist, the Dragon Emperor's sword on his waist, and dragon-patterned combat boots on his feet. He added a little mighty air.

On the left and right sides under the commander-in-chief stood a dozen or so blue tiger-pattern armors, each wearing a yellow tasseled helmet, and the only one wearing a purple tasseled helmet. Madness, if Du Changjing, Zhao Hua, and Ma Dadan were here, they would definitely recognize who he is.

He is Jin general Liu Sandao!

Since Liu Sandao annihilated the Xiongnu together with the Qin army, he has been named the third-rank Polu General, the highest-ranking general in the entire Jin Empire. Originally, Liu Sandao was guarding the Great Wall, but Qiu Yixiao was worried about Jin Emperor Min Ziying, so he decided to Let Liu Sandao go to Huangshi to be the deputy general of Jin Emperor Min Ziying.

Liu Sandao's martial arts realm has also reached the pinnacle state, and he is only one step away from reaching the half-step perfection state!

"The strength of the Qin army is not real, haven't we found it yet?" Jin Emperor Min Ziyi asked the generals expressionlessly.

The generals involuntarily lowered their heads and remained silent.

"boom!"

Jin Emperor Min Ziying slapped the handsome case angrily, making all the generals trembling in fright, only to see Jin Emperor Min Ziying pointing at the generals with an angry face and scolding: "You bunch of trash, what is the imperial court supporting you for?" food!"

"Above the court, it's all right for you to be silent as a military officer, but you are still silent when you come to this army, everyone is like a dumb person, you ask yourself, right the armor on your body, right every year Did you receive a high salary?"

Jin Emperor Min Ziying was really angry. Every time he faced a war, he would talk to officials. Military officers were like vases. Sometimes he regretted killing Li Qi. Now only Liu Sandao is left. Once used, the rest of the military officers will not cause him any trouble.

As long as we repel the Qin army this time, we must clean up the military officials, drag out all the useless generals and behead them, and then select generals from the people. I don’t believe it. Among the more than 400 million Jin people, there is not a single general. secretly thought.

Seeing Jin Emperor Min Ziying getting angry, all the generals did not dare to breathe, and shame appeared on their faces. They also knew that their ability was not enough for the armor on their bodies, let alone their position as a general.

"Humph!" Jin Emperor Min Ziyan snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone, "When will you get the details of the Qin army's strength, when will you go back to rest, and you are not allowed to eat or drink. Even if you are paying respects, you have to hold back!"

"Obey!" All the generals bowed down in fear and fear in response.

Liu Sandao, who was standing on the right, took a small step to the left, and bowed respectfully to report: "Your Majesty, didn't you know the strength of the Qin army before? It's [-] infantry!"

Jin Emperor Min Ziyan looked at Liu Sandao coldly, and replied in a still cold tone: "Of course I know, but this is the strength of the Qin army before the declaration of war. Can General Liu guarantee that the Qin army has not secretly increased its troops?"

"This..." Liu Sandao was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to answer, and then retreated to his seat.

Jin Emperor Min Ziying also looked away from Liu Sandao, feeling quite helpless in his heart. This Liu Sandao has good martial arts, but he is not suitable for commanding an army. It seems that he has to do it himself in this war!

.....

Shuai Zhang fell into silence, there was no sound, he could hear the crickets in the field, and he could also hear the nightingale singing.

As time passed, the generals and even Jin Emperor Min Ziyi felt that the days were like years. The former felt sore from standing, while the latter had a pain in his buttocks. This standing, this sitting, lasted for one night, and the next day dawned and the sun rose , the eyes of the commander-in-chief and the Jin Emperor Min Ziying were already bloodshot, and their faces were haggard.

What the hell, why haven't the scouts come back yet!

The generals have already scolded the scouts in their hearts, and the eighteen generations of their ancestors have greeted them, and the heart of Jin Emperor Min Ziyi is even more ignited. When the person came back, was he killed or lost his way!

Chapter 554 Battle of Yellowstone ([-])

They were killed. Of the five groups of ten scouts, nine were killed. The other Wang Sanshi, who was released by the Qin army, also ran into the mountains and dared not return to the camp. Why did he not dare to return? Of course, it was because the defense of Huangshiguan was leaked. , A guilty conscience dare not return.

Wang Sanshi's task was to investigate the real strength of the Qin army, but the Qin army failed to find out the true strength of the Qin army. Instead, he informed the general of the Qin army about his own defense situation and military strength.

"Let's all go back and rest!" Jin Emperor Min Ziying waved to the generals feebly, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This sentence, to the generals who stood all night, was undoubtedly the voice of Tian Lan, and each general secretly breathed a sigh of relief, showing the color of amnesty!

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, I will retire at the end!"

"I will retire at the end!"

"Your Majesty also rest early, don't hurt the dragon's body!"

All the soldiers saluted and retired one after another. In the blink of an eye, all the generals in the tent left cleanly, so that only Jin Emperor Min Ziying was left in the huge tent. Jin Emperor Min Ziying leaned back, His back was tightly pressed against the back of the chair, and he began to close his eyes and meditate.

At the same time, [-] Qin troops had already moved out. Every time passed, the distance between the Qin army and Huangshi Pass was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers of the Jin army stationed at Huangshi Pass also felt a huge pressure inexplicably. Covering Huangshi Pass.

A big battle is about to break out!

Jinbei Great Wall!

Five miles north of the North Jin Great Wall, the Jinbei Camp stands here. Originally, the Jinbei Camp was a hundred miles north of the Jinbei Great Wall, but after Alukege took over the military affairs of the Jinbei Camp, he ordered the camp to Forward 95 miles, facing the Jinbei Great Wall!

There were 15 soldiers on the Great Wall of Jinbei, originally there were [-], but because Qiu Yixiao couldn't rest assured Jin Emperor Min Ziying, he took [-] to support Huangshiguan, and the country is still recruiting troops, and it is estimated that there are still [-] troops available for requisition!

Every time [-] young adults are recruited by the counties, they will be transferred to the Great Wall Camp in northern Shanxi or Huangshiguan. This time, the Great Jin Empire is really emptying out its wealth to fight against the Great Qin Empire.

Standing on the Great Wall in military uniform, Qiu Yixiao looked at the Jinbei camp five miles away. At this time, Qiu Yixiao looked calm and calm, as if he was not worried that the Huns five miles away would be able to kill him. Great Wall!

The Xiongnu has [-], and he also has [-]. The Xiongnu is the cavalry, he is the crossbowman, the Xiongnu is the attacker, and he is the defender. Except that the force is equal to the Xiongnu, the other two are the Jin army's advantage, because the cavalry is not suitable. Siege, and crossbowmen are very suitable for defending the city. Although the Great Wall is not high, it is enough to withstand [-] Xiongnu cavalry under a thousand arrows!

"Father, can we win?"

A middle-aged and elderly person standing next to Qiu Yixiao asked solemnly.

This middle-aged man is the son of Qiu Yixiao, and Qiu Zhen, the grandson of Qiu Yisheng. Qiu Zhen is 56 years old this year, which is definitely an advanced age. Qiu Yixiao is also 79 years old, and he will be [-] in a year. up.

The lifespan of the old enemy is really enviable!

Qiu Zhen is also wearing a military uniform, with a sword hanging on his waist, and a soft white beard on his chin. He looks like a handsome man with armor on his body, like an experienced old general, but in fact, Qiu Zhen doesn't know strategy and tactics at all. I have never fought a war, let alone fought, I have never seen it.

This time Qiu Yixiao brought him here because he was asked to be a supply and food officer, responsible for logistics!

"As long as the Qinbei Great Wall does not send out reinforcements, it will be difficult to shake the Great Wall with only [-] Xiongnu cavalry!" Qiu Yixiao replied calmly.

Hearing Qiu Yixiao's reply, Qiu Zhen was not only displeased, but even more worried. Doesn't the meaning of Qiu Yixiao's words mean that as long as the Qinbei Great Wall sends reinforcements, the Great Wall can be shaken by the Qin army?Won't we lose by then?

"Will the Great Wall of Qinbei dispatch reinforcements?" Qiu Zhen, who was restless, asked immediately.

Qiu Yixiao shook his head, "No!"

"Ah?" Qiu Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and said in astonishment, "Father, why not? The Qinbei Great Wall is only [-] miles away from us. The cavalry rushed to attack and arrived in a day. Why didn't they provide support?"

"Haha!" Qiu Yixiao shook his head and smiled wryly, and glanced at Qiu Zhen who was full of doubts, "You have to learn this, the Qin army does not want to take the Great Wall, if the prediction is correct, the Qin Empire only wants to break through Huangshi Pass, the Qin Empire ordered The [-] Xiongnu withholding customs is just to disperse our troops?"

Hearing these words, Qiu Zhen became even more puzzled, "Why did the Qin army only want to break through Huangshi Pass? Could it be that the Great Wall is useless to the Qin army? Once the Great Wall is broken...Oh, father, my child knows, our Great Wall If it is lost, there is still An County that can be defended. An County is much easier to defend than the Great Wall. If the Great Wall is lost, it will not cause much loss to us, and it will not be of much use to the Qin Empire. Therefore, the main target of the Qin Army is Huangshiguan. The [-] Xiongnu cavalry , is just a cover!"

None of the enemy family members are fools, so they understand it!

Qiu Yixiao showed a gratified smile, stretched out his hand to stroke the beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "This is the cleverness of Qin Jun, it's a pity, the old man is not a fool, and he will not transfer heavy troops to the Great Wall foolishly." Defense!"

Sending soldiers and horses to Huangshiguan for support is not just to worry about Jin Emperor Min Ziying, but to smash the Qin army's conspiracy to disperse the Jin army's forces!

"Then we can rest assured!" Qiu Zhen had a relaxed smile on his face.
