The return of the Tang River made Gao Yuan overjoyed.

In the year of the official founding of the Han Dynasty, Tang He, a veteran intelligence officer of the National Security Bureau, was ordered to infiltrate Xianyang to preside over the entire intelligence work, but after the Chinese New Year this year, because of the large-scale transfer of funds to the Han State for the Qin magnates and wealthy businessmen and acted too frequently, he exposed his whereabouts and lost contact with the headquarters, and the Security Bureau estimated that he had fallen into the hands of the Qin people. A high-level intelligence officer like Tang He, no one is optimistic that he is still alive, and he has made Gao Yuan sad for a long time, this is an old man who has followed him since the Fufeng era.

I never thought that when he didn't have any hope, he would come back with all his beard and tail.

"In this way, the Qin people in Xianyang City have long lost the will to fight, and even Lu Chao's most loyal subordinate Gou Yi has been pessimistic to the extreme, and the others can see it." Looking at Tang He, whose face was still a little pale, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "During this time, you have suffered. ”

"Fortunately, after I was caught, that Gou Yi didn't interrogate me at all, and I didn't suffer anything, I didn't know what his idea was, but it turned out that my foothold was here." Tang Daodao.

"It's good to be back, that Gou Yi is still a little bit clear, since he has treated you well, this nephew of his, you also want to repay the peach, take him, go back, and recuperate for a while, although I didn't suffer anything, but it's enough to be locked up in prison for a few months without seeing the light of day, look at your face, it's a little abnormal." Gao Yuan laughed.

The return of Tang He and the information on the current situation in Xianyang City brought back made Gao Yuan feel that his estimate of the course of the war was still too pessimistic, or that the time to end this war would be shorter. An army that has lost the will to fight, and some generals who have lost the belief in victory, are no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Outside Xianyang City, Yan Haibo looked through the telescope and looked behind the Qin army's position in front of him. The ubiquitous, densely packed artillery positions, the scalp is cold for a while, his grandmother, how many artillery is there? The section of the position he was in charge of was only two miles long, but he had just counted a few of them, and hundreds of artillery pieces were arranged, and three columns were placed unevenly. Artillery of this density, for the attackers. Definitely a nightmare.

"Without knocking out these artillery positions, it is simply impossible for the infantry to launch a massive charge." Yan Haibo scratched his scalp, "This is definitely a fucking hedgehog, let our artillery fire a few shots, lure them to return fire, and see their range." ”

The three guns slowly raised their heads, and Lin Yu, a veteran gunner, stood in front of the guns, stretched out his thumb in front of his eyes, and measured the shooting data. His crew members adjusted the angle of the guns according to the data he reported.

"The enemy's artillery is hidden in the shell of a tortoise made of reinforced concrete, and if we hit it with a solid shell, I am afraid that the effect will not be very good." Side. The artillery battalion commander touched his thick beard and said to himself: "I hope the hell is all a tofu scum project, and they will be smashed down with one shot." It seemed that this situation was unlikely, and after saying this. He shrugged his shoulders and once again raised the telescope in his hand to look at the enemy positions in the distance. commanded: "Lin Yu, aim at the largest fort, **** mother, there are actually three cannon barrels sticking out of it, just ****." ”

"Battalion commander, I'm aiming at him." Lin Yu smiled and ordered loudly: "Shoot." ”

With three loud bangs, three clouds of smoke rose into the air, and three shells swept through the air and shot towards the Qin army's position.

"Lin Yu, what are you aiming at, it's so far away, it's smashed into a small fort next to it, oops, as expected, this turtle shell is not easy to knock, only a piece of it has collapsed, hey, how did those Qin soldiers crawl out of it and run away?" The artillery battalion commander was first angry, then surprised. "Holy, what a weird run. Oh no, the head fell off, damn it, this Qin army officer pulled out a knife and cut off his head so neatly, one by one, a few clicks, three heads fell to the ground, okay, the rest of the people went back. It seems that our intelligence is good, these are not the elite of the Qin army, they are all rookies, and this battle does not look so difficult to fight. ”

Where is the artillery battalion commander talking to himself, but Lin Yu is face is red, such a big turtle shell, actually hit so off, which made him feel embarrassed, turned around and yelled at his artillery crew members, and then stretched out his thumb again, and began to mumble the test there.

Several puffs of smoke rose from the opposite position, and the artillery battalion commander who was holding a telescope to observe was frightened, and immediately lay down on the spot, the barrel of the opponent he saw in the telescope was much thicker than his own side, with his experience, these heavy guns naturally had a longer range and greater power, and they could beat them on their own side, of course, they could hit their own people effortlessly.

Lying on the ground, holding a telescope, tracking the trajectory of those shells flying in the air, watching them cut through the sky, fall, and then fall dozens of meters away from him, smashing the solid ground into a big crater.

"Oh no!" The artillery battalion commander wiped his eyes: "With such a thick barrel, it only hits such a distance?" His confidence was greatly increased, and he stood up triumphantly, since it was impossible for the big ones to hit his position, let alone the rest of the small artillery.

"Brothers, push the cannon up, their cannon is just the same thing, and it won't be able to hit far at all!" As he was dancing with his own hands, there was a loud noise behind him, which startled him a lot, but it was the angry Lin Yu who once again ordered his artillery crew to fire.

The artillery battalion commander didn't have time to scold Lin Yu, so he hurriedly raised his telescope to observe the results, this time it hit accurately, but the opponent's turtle shell was still standing still, the cannon was not good, but the turtle shell was really hard.

The disappointed artillery battalion commander was about to tell Lin Yu this disappointing reality, when he suddenly saw through the telescope that there was a puff of smoke coming out of the huge turtle shell, and a cannonball flew out of it, and then there was a fire, and then he saw the huge turtle shell flying.

He almost couldn't believe his eyes, Lin Yu behind him actually flew by himself after three cannons in a row without any damage to the turtle shell.

"Lin Yu, do you believe me when I said that your cannon blew up their turtle shells?" He looked at Lin Yu with his head.

Lin Yu looked at the artillery officer dumbfoundedly, he was not deaf, the deafening loud noise on the opposite side just now was of course not the sound of his shells falling.

"The son of a bitch raised it, and it exploded. They blew up, and the bore detonated the red in the turtle's shell, and with a bang, it exploded from the inside out. The artillery officer burst out laughing, "Shoddy products kill people." ”

The artillery of the Qin army was cast temporarily, and the time when they obtained the artillery technology was very late, it was more than a year ago that Qian Zhongyi captured more than a dozen artillery pieces in a sneak attack on the twentieth army of the Han army, and since then, the craftsmen of the Qin State began to study this thing, more than a year. Although they can cast artillery, but the process is extremely immature, the scrap rate remains high, and the output will not come up at all, this time Lu Chao doesn't care about three seven twenty-one, as long as the quantity, not looking at the quality, with Lu Chao's own point of view, that is, even if a cannon can only hit one cannon. Kill and wound a few Han soldiers, it will be worth it.

But Lu Chao forgot the human heart. The cannon blew up, wounding the gunner, but his own people. These Qin troops who rushed into battle. There was no formal training at all, and there was no correct concept of the charge and operation steps of the artillery, which was under the unscrupulous bombardment of the Han artillery. They fired back in a panic, and as a result, the artillery exploded one after another. Artillery of extremely low quality. They have been filled with an excessive amount of explosives, how can there be any reason not to explode?

The connected explosions caused chaos on the Qin army's position, and the result was that either the soldiers fled, or they refused to use the gadget that might kill them at any point. Even if the officers of the Qin army drew their swords and threatened, the soldiers refused to use them again.

When the Qin officers had to start to deter the soldiers with murder, the riot finally broke out, and the soldiers grabbed their weapons, rushed up to kill the officers, and then spread their legs and ran out of their positions.

They actually fled by themselves when they were in battle.

Not so long ago, they were just peasants with hoes, and now they are dressed in military uniforms and armed forces, but in essence, they are the same peasants they used to be. Fear makes them lose their minds.

The battalion howling incident that gave the commander the most headache actually broke out when the two armies were facing each other, which not only made the officers of the Qin army at a loss, but also made the Han army in the distance stunned.

In front of them, above the position of the Qin army, groups of Qin soldiers shouted frantically, ran out of their positions, and ran around like crazy, some of them were waving their weapons in their hands while running, and the whole position had become a pot of porridge.

"This situation is unprecedented!" Yan Haibo scratched his head, and dandruff rained down.

The Han army had already stopped shelling, because the sound of explosives exploding was constantly heard from the opponent's position, and the enemy was actually crushed without a fight.

In the rear, in the Chinese army battalion, Gao Yuan is trying his new gun, the latest musket developed by the Fengrui Arsenal, in terms of style and firing, it is basically close to the rifles of later generations, pull the bolt, put in the bullet, load, aim, and fire. There was a thud, and a humanoid target in the distance fell. This gun was made, but all manual polishing also made his cost amazingly high, Gao Yuan every time he held a fire, shot a bullet, it was dozens of yuan gone, and now it can only be used by some people with status like Gao Yuan to have fun by themselves, and if they want to be equipped on a large scale, they can only exist in dreams.

Machine tool, Gao Yuan rubbed the delicate gun body in his hand, and couldn't help but miss the equipment in his previous life.

Yang Dasha quickly ran to Gao Yuan's side, and loudly reported to him the unexpected situation on the front line, Gao Yuan also laughed happily: "Tell Xu Yuan, don't rush to attack, these Qin soldiers outside the city are basically peasants who have just been captured, let them go." ”

Half a day passed, the Han army effortlessly, without casualties and a single soldier occupied the outer positions of Xianyang, captured a large number of artillery ammunition and various weapons, after carefully studying the opponent's artillery, the Han artillerymen were all looking at each other, such artillery, for them, is also killed and never fired.

It is better to fire shells with such a cannon than to wipe the neck, because then it can still be left for the whole corpse, and the gunners will definitely be blown to the bones. (To be continued.) )
