Daqin Engineering Corps

Who would have thought that after the sudden change, the follow-up reinforcements would be blocked from the city wall by stone bullets.

On this side of the city wall, there were only dozens of them alone, but they had to face hundreds of Qin troops.

At this time, how could they dare to make a big deal, and they planned to retreat along the original road as soon as they gave an order.

But who knows that it is not easy to go back the same way, because a stone bullet fell from the sky and smashed a rain of bullets at the narrow exit.

To retreat is also to die.

To enter is also to die.

They can only survive if they surrender.

However, the Beidi soldiers are worthy of being the Beidi soldiers. They looked back and rushed into the tide-like Qin army with a loud shout...

This is actually a habit of soldiers in the North.

They fought more against the Huns in the north, and there was basically no room for surrender when fighting the Huns.

First of all, it is because the Xiongnu are foreigners, and they do everything from burning, killing and looting.

All the soldiers in the Central Plains hated the Xiongnu deeply, and often would rather commit suicide than live in an ignoble existence.

The second is because the Huns usually do not treat the Central Plains prisoners well.

Even if the soldiers in the Central Plains surrendered, most of them were killed after being humiliated. It would be better to die.

This habit was also brought to the Central Plains Civil War.

In fact, they don't have to be like this. There were too many cases of Qin Muchu in the Warring States Period, and it was common for them to surrender to each other.

Of course, Qin Jun will not be soft on this.

After a flash of swords and swords, the dozens of Zhao Jun were all chopped down to the ground, and their heads were cut off in the next second, which was the credit of Qin Jun.

Then, the victorious Qin army burst into cheers.

At this time, some people even ran out of the city to grab their heads at the risk of being hit by stone bullets...

From this perspective, Qin Jun is more like a bandit fighting for title and profit.

And Zhao Jun is a righteous teacher who fights to defend his family and country.

However, survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle are the laws of this era, so the so-called justice can only hide in the corner and tremble.

Yang Ting, who was covered in blood, turned her head to look at Shen Bing, with joy, gratitude and surprise in her eyes.

Fortunately, because of narrow escape, this battle was not only not broken by Zhao Jun, but a small victory.

I am grateful because my life was saved by this "one operator".

The accident is because this humble little soldier can always surprise Yang Ting.

But Yang Ting didn't pay attention to him before, and even almost killed him.

Liu Xu rushed up in three steps and two steps, and asked anxiously:

"Miss, are you alright?"

"You are hurt……"

Only then did Yang Ting wake up, and immediately withdrew her eyes and put on an angry face:

"It's okay, it's just a skin injury."

"The stone bomb was fired by Shen Bing?"

"Isn't he afraid of hurting the captain?"

In fact, Yang Ting wanted to make sure if Shen Bing did it.

At the same time, I also want to know why the trebuchet has such an aim and can still play a role in melee combat.

Women are often like this, and they don't mean what they say.

Liu Xu hurriedly explained to Shen Bing:

"Excuse me, Lieutenant!"

"The stone bomb was fired by Shen Bing."

"He said it was carefully estimated, what else is the trajectory, impact point, coverage and so on."

"Although the subordinates don't understand, it seems to have played a role in repelling Zhao Jun!"

"Captain, don't blame him."

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of Yang Ting's mouth, but she still hummed:

"Let's settle the score with him later!"

The gunners and craftsmen here have lifted Shen Bing up and cheered.

You must know that before this, the gunner operator was a proper "thankless" job.

The credit is not counted, but none of the hardships and dangers on the battlefield are left behind.

In addition, he was also looked down upon by other soldiers.

In this era, the craftsmen themselves were discriminated against, and they were considered slaves after soldiers on the battlefield.

The so-called "gongli" roughly means coolies with low status.

For example, people who owed money and couldn't repay their debts, or were exiled to the army to do hard labor because of crimes, were called labor officials or labor ghosts.

The identity and status of craftsmen are only a little bit higher than them, so they will naturally be looked down upon by soldiers who go to the battlefield with real swords and guns.

But now, the Artillery Division has been ashamed.

Although they still didn't get a few heads... Zhao Jun, who was killed by stone bullets, had already been snatched away by the soldiers in front.

But as long as a sensible person knows, if there is no artillery division in this battle, then the whole army will be wiped out in all likelihood.

This kind of psychological pride and self-confidence cannot be replaced by the head of the enemy and the title.

It was played on the battlefield.

From then on, the soldiers of the Qin Army would no longer look at the artillery division with their eyes up to the sky.

Artillery operators don't have to be careful to avoid soldiers when they encounter them.

Food supplies will no longer be short of catties because they are not on the battlefield.

Cang looked at Shen Bing with a smirk on his face: Follow senior brother, there is meat to eat.

Fatty Tun looked at Shen Bing with admiration: Follow Gongcheng, you have a future!

Xun Ze looked at Shen Bing indifferently: Damn, I'm used to it!Look at your excitement, you have never seen the world...

Of course, there are also unhappy people.

Chen Kui was one, he suddenly felt a crisis, he seemed to have been emptied out as a coward.

Of course, there is Xuchang outside the city.

Unwilling to lose his troops, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth with a cold face: "Attack again!"

Wang Bai answered "No" with shame on his face, and added after hesitating:

"But general, Qin Jun's stone bomb..."

Xu Chang interrupted Wang Bai:

"The Qin army has stone bullets, so don't our army have stone bullets?"

Chapter 23 劓刑

What Xu Chang said is correct, the Qin army has stone bullets, and of course Zhao Jun also has stone bullets.

If no one takes advantage of stone bombs against stone bombs, and Zhao Jun has the upper hand in terms of strength and quality, there is no reason to be invincible.

So, Zhao Jun launched a new round of offensive with trebuchets.

The main attack was still the Northern Army commanded by Wang Bai.

The focus is still on the gap in the city wall.

The difference is that there are fifty more trebuchets at the rear.

Wang Bai is a veteran. He has been following Li Mu in the Northland since he was rescued from the Huns by the Northland Army at the age of 15.

With rich battlefield experience, he divided the trebuchets into five teams, of which three teams were placed in front of the left, center and right.

The left and right roads are responsible for covering, and the middle road is facing the gap.

Two other teams are preparing reinforcements in the rear.

However, what Xu Chang and Wang Bai didn't expect was that.

This trebuchet is not that trebuchet.

If you only look at the trebuchet, although Shen Bing has upgraded the trebuchet again, the difference is not very big.

Although the accuracy of hanging baskets is poor and there are more problems in launching, the number can fully make up for this shortcoming.

So, the point is that they don't have anyone who can calculate ballistics.

In ancient times, miscellaneous subjects other than "official agriculture, industry and commerce", such as wizards, doctors, scientists, etc., were usually called alchemists.

So Bian Que was an alchemist, Xu Fu was an alchemist, and Zhang Heng was also an alchemist.

There were also alchemists who were proficient in numerology in the Qin Dynasty, and even the "nine-nine multiplication table" was found in the unearthed cultural relics of the Qin Dynasty.

But it is certain that none of them will understand the knowledge of parabola and acceleration of gravity...

Otherwise, it wouldn't be Newton's turn to have a big brain hole after being hit by an apple.

then.

Even if Zhao Jun divides the trebuchets into three teams, left, center and right, and fires stone projectiles towards the gap...

But the stone bullet was either too far away or too high, or it hit the city wall and bounced back to its own camp.

This not only failed to provide effective cover for the attacking infantry, but caused many accidental injuries.

This made those attacking soldiers from the northern lands cry bitterly:

"Fuck, is it easy for us to fight a war?"

"Not only do you have to be hit by the enemy's stone bullets, but you also have to suffer from your own stone bullets."

"Can you stop making more trouble?"

At the same time, the Qin army also had trebuchets on the city wall.

They were condescending and beat down, smashing Zhao Jun's catapults one after another to pieces.

So Zhao Jun retreated back in disgrace after leaving a batch of corpses in the second round of attack.

At this time, Yang Ting, who was standing at the head of the city and commanded, was relieved.

Liu Xu reported the good news one after another:

"Reporting to the captain, a team of thousands of people has arrived."

"There is also a team of 500 and three centuries."

"A total of more than [-] reinforcements are on standby!"

Yang Ting gave a "hmm" and asked, "Who are the new two or five hundred masters?"

Liu Xu cupped her hands and replied, "It's the field quilt."

Tian Bei used to be Yang Duanhe's general, but he was promoted to lead an army of two or five hundred masters only after he made great contributions.

Yang Ting and Liu Xu are quite familiar with him.

Yang Ting thought for a while, then ordered:

"Let Natian be led to garrison the gap!"

"Tie Zhang Xuan to me!"

Liu Xu couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words, but she still replied "No" and turned to spread the message.
