Chapter 985: Poor and uncertain riverside bones
The drizzle finally stopped.
The breeze blew after the rain, but it didn't bring fresh air, just a bloody stench.
Dafei Lingxia.
The mountain wind blew and rolled up the broken flags on the ground.
Most of the white battle flags have been dyed red.
Under the banner, the corpses are stacked on top of each other.
The fence at the forefront of the Qin army camp was also several miles away from the nearest enemy army, and there was no trace of trampling on the front, and those corpses appeared on the east side.
There was a steep slope over there, but last night more than 1,000 party Xiang Qiang Tuoba troops came to steal the camp, intending to climb the mountain from here with hooks and cables, but unexpectedly the Qin army was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the guard was not leaking, so they deliberately let them approach, and when they climbed halfway, they suddenly appeared.
Ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the arrows flew wildly.
Immediately after a light cavalry came out, before the stupid Qiang in the rear came to respond, the Qin army light cavalry had already ended the battle, more than a thousand Tuoba soldiers were shot and killed, their heads were cut off by the light cavalry, and then tied under the saddle by the Qin army's light cavalry, and returned victorious with a whirlwind roar.
Leaving only their headless corpses on the ground.
The victorious Qin army rode lightly, and stuck their heads on the fence, and on each stake, there would be a stupid Qiang head, and these people's empty eyes looked straight at the Qiang camp in the distance, but they could never go back.
The Tuoba tribe sent thousands of men to meet them, but it was too late for them to arrive, and only headless corpses were left everywhere.
They wanted to collect the corpses, but when they looked at the corpses lying under the ridge, they did not dare to approach.
Until dawn, the leader of the Tuoba tribe asked Choubo to bring several troops and horses and advanced to the front of the ridge, intending to put himself in battle and collect the corpse.
Although the summer breeze is cool, the air is full of murderous atmosphere.
"Are you all ready?"
On the mountain ridge on the east side, Si Ye took armor and asked.
"Please rest assured, our catapults have a maximum range of three hundred paces, and our ballista has a maximum range of seven hundred paces, and the corpses of the stupid people under the mountain are all within range, as long as they come, let them compensate for the power of our red-coated cannons."
There is also a regiment of Shenji Army in the Siye Army, and they are the most professional artillery in Daqin.
When they went south, they didn't carry catapults in the army, but catapults were not too difficult for the artillerymen of the Shenji Army, and the strongest of the Shenji Army were their gunners and gunsmiths.
As long as there are gunners and gunsmiths and give them some time, they will be able to build one magic cannon after another according to the standardized operation.
After all, as long as you bring the key ratchet of the god cannon, the other parts can be made, but it is just a pile of wood, plus a preparation box, and a pile of stones.
Although the performance of this improvised construction is worse, it is still rough enough and powerful.
The Shenji cannon that the Shenji artillery men now have in their hands is the most fierce one, with a range of 300 paces and a stone projectile of 150 catties, and the place where it hits must be powder.
Even if this kind of giant heavy artillery is not easy to build, it can fire a hundred catties, dozens of catties, even if it weighs fifteen catties, it is also amazingly lethal, fifteen catties of stone bombs are thrown, not to mention hitting, even if they are next to the point, even if they are like the Tibetan cavalry, the most elite of them, the men and horses are wearing double armor, and they can't stop it.
The war hammer and iron whip in the hands of ordinary cavalry generals weigh only a few catties, but they can be hit by swinging, and they are also killed immediately, not to mention the cannon that is projected over a long distance of more than a dozen catties?
"Don't use the god machine general, use the god machine captain." Confession.
The gunners of the Shenji Army called their counterweight catapults generals, among which the top 150-kilogram stone projectiles were called Shenji Generals, 100-kilogram stone projectiles were called Shenji Generals, and the 50-kilogram ones were called Shenji Lang Generals, and the fifteen-pound ones were called Shenji Captains.
Cannons have the advantages of cannons, and small cannons also have the advantages of small cannons.
Although the small cannon has a short range and light damage, as long as the enemy is close, it can rely on its numerical superiority to kill the enemy.
The advantage of the cannon lies in the firing range, and the Tubo and Dangxiang people also have some simple catapults in their hands, and their catapults are traditional Han-style cable-style catapults, with stone bullets at one end and a dozen or even hundreds of leather ropes tied to the other end, and a group of people pull and throw them at the back.
Inefficiency, especially not far range.
As long as they dare to advance to the bottom of the mountain and want to use catapults to attack the camp, Heiye can let the Shenji General and the Shenji General fire with huge cannons at a super distance, directly outside their range, and smash their catapults all together.
Tuoba Leopard, the leader of the Tuoba Tribe, had red eyes, and he wanted to make a great contribution last night, but he didn't expect to suffer such heavy losses.
There are more than 1,000 people, and among the 300,000 troops on all sides of the entire Dafei River, it is indeed not much.
But for the Tuoba Department, this is already more than 10% of their troops here, especially the 10,000 Party Qiang soldiers this time, but from the eight major tribes, although the Tuoba Department is the strongest among the Party Departments, but only 2,000 came, and they directly lost more than half last night.
This group of Dangxiang Qiang people with braided hair on their heads have been staying in the source of the Yellow River in the source of the West Qiang to live in nomadism, where the conditions are harsh, the tribes are difficult to reproduce, the party is the Qiang, the big tribes are only 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the small ones are only a few thousand. Now the Tuoba Department has died directly by a thousand, which is really the same as the death of his father and mother.
Now Tuoba Leopard has 10,000 regrets in his heart, how could he listen to the words of the ugly marshal, and he was agitated three or two times.
He was wearing a leopard skin armor, a leopard he had personally killed, and today, he had to bring back the corpses of the dead warriors, or he would have no face to continue to dominate the tribe.
Behind him, the remaining nearly a thousand Tuoba warriors were dressed in all kinds of leather armor, and there were also a few iron armors, and their weapons were also relatively mixed, including spears, short knives, and bows and arrows.
Tuoba Leopard walked in front of the tribal warriors with a sad face, hammering his chest with a sad face, telling the tribal warriors of his sorrow.
"The bodies of the war dead must be brought back to the tribe so that they can be reunited with the Tuoba ancestors underground."
The gunners looked at the stupid man down the mountain with some boredom, "What the hell, you should fucking hurry up." ”
During this time, these gunners were busy building the magic machine cannon, setting up artillery points on the mountain, measuring the distance under the mountain, marking well, it can be said that everything is ready, just waiting for the moment when they can shoot.
Tuoba Leopard shouted at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, then knelt on the ground, cried again, and finally took out a knife and slashed his face, causing blood to flow all over his face.
"Warriors, come with me and bring the Heroic Spirits of the tribe home!"
