On the outskirts of Feng County, on a small hill that is not high, dozens of cannons are arrayed in a row, here is the artillery position of the Qin army, and the entire Chu army camp is under the range of the cannons.

Although Xiang Yu is reckless and impulsive and ignores the overall situation, this person comes from a family of the art of war, his father and uncle are generals, his grandfather is also a general, and his grandfather's father is still a general. So the march and the war were so fast, Xiang Yu decided to have a set of rules.

The artillery of the Qin army is no secret, it seems that in order to prevent the artillery bombardment of the Qin army, the tents of the Chu army are very far apart, and this sparse way of camping is obviously guarding against the artillery of the Qin army.

Needless to say, the power of artillery is a cross-era weapon in the era of Daqin. Of course, artillery also has its disadvantages, heavy and inconvenient to transport, shells are different from bows and arrows, bows and arrows can be recycled and used many times, but shells are consumables, and logistical pressure is also restricting the potential of artillery.

After Han Xin's Qin army and Li Chen joined forces, the Qin army's artillery gathered together. Hundreds of tiger squat cannons and more than forty exterminating cannons were arrayed on the hillside, which made those who knew the power of the cannons look really terrifying.

The fighting style of the Shenwu Army is simply incompatible with this era, and human life is as cheap as grass on the battlefield. The theme of warfare in this era was iron and blood, and victory was built with human lives. However, the Shenwu Army's fighting method was to bombard with artillery first, and then charge with infantry. Problems that can be solved with artillery will definitely not be solved with infantry.

Daqin's manufacturing process is very backward, although there are various materials that Li Chen got from his previous life, but the gap in the manufacturing industry brought by the times is definitely not something that can be smoothed out overnight. Inferior barrels are in danger of exploding after continuous firing. The cost of a cannon is enough for a family of three to live in Xianyang for three or five years. Expensive barrels, expensive shells, and a cannon that is going off is ten thousand taels of gold. But even so, the Shenwu Army has always regarded soldiers as the first. Obstacles that can be cleared with shells will definitely not allow soldiers to charge with their lives.

"Fuck it. It's the first time that Lao Tzu has been so generous. ”

The artillery battalion tent looked at the cannons in front of him and rubbed his hands excitedly. He cherishes this cannon more than his own daughter-in-law on weekdays, and spends far more time on maintaining the cannon than on maintaining his daughter-in-law.

"Open fire."

The command flag in the artillery tent was lowered, and the artillerymen began to calmly reload their ammunition and ignite the fuse. More than 100 cannons and small cannons began to roar one after another, and the shells bombarded the Chu army's camp tent like meteorites.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The Chu army had already been bombed more than once in the battle with Han Xin, and they seemed to have gained experience in being bombarded. When the cannon sounded, the Chu army quickly crawled on the ground one by one, motionless. And the bandits and rogues in Xiang Yu's camp who came to help him were really in a mess, running around in the camp one by one, yelling and screaming.

"Get down, get down."

Chu Jun, who was lying on the ground, shouted at the thief army who ran beside him, this Dao master is not his kindness, the main thing is that these people are running around, and they have stepped on him back and forth several times.

The thief army seems to have discovered that the faster they run away, the faster they die. On the contrary, there were not many dead or injured people on the ground. As the so-called listening to people's persuasion to eat a full meal, this kid is also a little clever ghost, and he hurriedly learned to crawl on the ground like Chu Jun beside him.

"Brother, you're such a good person."

The thief army lay on the ground, taking advantage of the fact that the artillery fire had stopped, and said to the Chu army who had just reminded him to lie down.

"Okay, you're numb, Lao Tzu's hand was stepped on by you three times."

Chu Jun stretched out the left and right that was trampled like pig's trotters, and scolded angrily.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The artillery fire of the Qin army was roaring, and the Chu army was crushed in the camp and could not raise its head, while the Qin army on the other side of the river had already begun to move under the cover of artillery fire.

"Prepare for battle, the Qin army may be about to attack the camp."

"Prepare for battle, the Qin army may be about to attack the camp."

"Prepare for battle, the Qin army may be about to attack the camp."

Some veterans in the Chu army began to remind the people beside them.

First the artillery bombardment, then the infantry rushed, the infantry rushed after the artillery bombardment, and the artillery bombarded after the infantry charged.

There have been many battles with the Qin army, and the Chu army has also figured out the Qin army's style of play, although there is no technical content in it, but for this simple and direct way of fighting, the Chu army has no way. If they can't solve the Qin army's artillery, there will always be no way to do this kind of warfare.

After half an hour of continuous bombardment, the barrel of the gun has become soft. The artillery fire of the Qin army stopped, the smoke and dust on the battlefield dissipated, and the black Qin army had already pressed over from the front.

"The Qin army is here."

"The Qin army is here."

The scouts of the Chu army almost immediately discovered the movements of the Qin army, and Xiang Yu still had a set of training troops, so that as soon as the Qin army appeared, the Chu army began to organize the defense line in full swing.

"Wei Bao, gather your people and go to the flank, and I will deal with the Qin army in front, don't add to the chaos."

Xiang Yu looked at the thieves scurrying around in the camp and said to Wei Bao.

In the bombardment of the Qin army, the Chu army itself was not in chaos, but because of these tens of thousands of thieves, they trampled and injured many of them. Because of this, Xiang Yu looked down on these bandits more and more.

"Okay, I'll take someone to the flank right away, and make sure I don't cause trouble for the king."

As soon as Wei Bao heard that he didn't need to fight, he immediately whispered happily.

There are a lot of thieves who came to help Xiang Yu, after all, Xiang Yu is now the hope of the whole village, if the Xiang group falls, those who want to rebel will have no hope at all. And among these thieves, Wei Bao is the most powerful, so Xiang Yu also ordered Wei Bao to manage these bandits with scattered discipline. Wei Bao was already ready to let his subordinates be cannon fodder for Xiang Yu, but who knew that Xiang Yu actually asked them to go to the flank, not to mention that there is no movement on the flank at present, even if there is a flank, it is generally the direction of feint attack, Wei Bao is naturally overjoyed.

"Wind, wind, wind."

The shouts of the Qin army were already close to the ears, and the hand-to-hand combat was already close at hand.

"Shoot the arrows."

Soon, the Qin army had already reached the range of crossbow arrows. Qin's bow and crossbow are world-famous, this distance can shoot the Chu army from the Qin army, but the crossbow arrows of the Chu army cannot shoot the Qin army.

"Put."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

The crossbow arrows of the Qin army were like locusts, and they were thrown into the camp of the Chu army. Of course, the Chu army and the Qin army did not fight on the first day, and when the Qin army opened its bow and arrows, the Chu army also raised the shield in its hand for the first time, so although the Qin army's bow and crossbow were killed, it did not hurt the Chu army.

The distance between the two armies of Qin and Chu is getting closer and closer, and it seems that they can clearly see each other's hideous faces. The shouts of more than 200,000 people resounded in the sky, and the blood and murderous aura seemed to fill the entire battlefield.

Close to hand, a touch of imminent.
