The reaction time of the Qi army was greatly behind that of the Zhao army and the other allied forces. These are the conveniences brought by modern technology, weapons, not only those weapons with greater lethality are a weapon, the concept of weapons is gradually expanding and redefined.

Weapons began to become a tool for human beings to extend their functions. It's a tool in its own right. Modern means of transport have strengthened the legs of humans. And those weapons that kill farther and farther away deepen the function of human beings in the upper limbs. The advent of the telephone and the telegraph was to strengthen the human communication function. Telescopes, on the other hand, deepen the human senses.

The Qi army was obviously already far behind the Allied forces in terms of senses. And the Allies, on the other hand, had a striking advantage in this. And this is irreparable. It's a natural flaw. Qi Guo could not make up for this shortcoming in this regard.

However, the soldiers of the Qi army showed another characteristic in the battle, that is, tactical flexibility, this unique innovation in tactics caught the Zhao army off guard.

"Sir, the Qi army in front has regular fortifications to defend against us." A reconnaissance second lieutenant came running and reported.

"Our mission is to destroy all the Qi forces in front of us." A Colonel Zhao Jun said. His regiment was ordered to follow behind the cavalry. Use a frontal attack to crush all Qi defenses. However, his troops encountered many accidents along the way, for example, many of his infantry units were left far behind by cavalry. The worst thing is that those baggage troops are still behind. Only a small number of baggage troops arrived and followed.

And then there is artillery. The artillery advance was very slow. Only light artillery could barely keep up with the pace of the infantry, but the pace of the infantry advance was far behind the cavalry. Overall. The attack of the Zhao army. Strategically well done. But in the matter of details. Zhao Jun is really unsatisfactory to him.

However, there is no way to do this, the backward infrastructure of the Yan State has dragged down the entire Zhao army's march. Unable to afford a large will attack the heavy road, already the transport of heavy artillery. All this caused the Zhao army to move slowly.

In fact, Zhao Jun himself also has a big problem, although Zhao Jun has also established a staff system, but the staff officers obviously do not have the experience and work ability to undertake such a large offensive operation process. Many of them are participating in actual combat for the first time, and they have only held relevant positions in the exercise before, but they have not actually carried out it in actual combat. It was only by virtue of the suddenness of the cavalry at the beginning that they achieved the results of the first swift battle. They were killed and captured a large number of Qi soldiers. These soldiers became part of their brilliant success.

"It's a miracle that there is a camp of the Qi army ahead." Apparently, the colonel had been carried away by successive victories.

"How many troops do we have? Chief of staff. The colonel asked.

"We have less than two and a half battalions of troops. Of these, the artillery had only three light guns. There were less than three machine guns. We still have a large number of troops left far behind. At this time, a chief of staff said with a good statistical report.

"Deal with the Qi army. That's enough. They have already been beaten by us and do not want to take up arms again. The colonel said confidently.

"Command. Our artillery. Immediately fire in that direction. Prepare the infantry to attack. The colonel took the binoculars and looked at the field positions arranged by the Qi army on the opposite side, and hastily issued such an order.

"But, sir, our artillery shells are seriously undernumbered, and if we open fire, in less than five minutes, we will run out of running shells." The lieutenant colonel chief of staff on the side suggested.

"This is an order from the military commander. Shouldn't the chief of staff give orders? The colonel gave an arbitrary order at this time. In the opinion of the colonel. It is of little use to set up such a position as chief of staff, they will not do anything. They will only give orders of this or that, and they will not be able to do anything about giving orders to make decisions. So, in a lot of the time. The military commander and chief of staff of the Zhao army were not in opposition, but in antagonism. Commanders usually do not take the initiative to heed the advice given by the Chief of Staff.

Although Zhao Jun has established a perfect staff system, he has obviously not learned its essence.

"Sir. There is a big problem with your command. The chief of staff was still dutifully expressing his views at this time.

"The order has been given. Chief of Staff, do you want to go into battle? At this time, the colonel turned and asked.

"This." The Chief of Staff knows where he stands. The relationship between the chief of staff and the commander is not very good. Because, at the time of the march. The Chief of Staff will take the initiative to deal with some situations. The current situation. Obviously, the chief of staff has a lot of responsibility, because many combat units have not arrived.

"Whew." The Chief of Staff exhaled deeply.

"Okay." The chief of staff reluctantly agreed.

"Immediately launch an artillery strike. Ordered our infantry to prepare for the attack. The colonel said at this time.

The chief of staff reluctantly agreed. For such an offense. He himself is against it.

And on the opposite side of the Qi army. A Qi general was also in the trench to check the situation on the other side.

"We can't resist the attack of the Zhao army at all." The general said with a telescope looking at the situation opposite.

"Look at the equipment of the Zhao army on the other side, although those artillery pieces are few, the killing distance and power are far higher than ours, as well as the shooting distance of their rifles. Some are also above us, and our morale is so low right now. It is simply impossible to resist an attack from the other side. The general said.

"But, General, if we hold our ground, we can hold our position." A Qi army officer asked at this time.

"Guard." The general asked.

"We can't hold it at all, we have to get out of here." The general said at this time.

"You know what? Here are the commanding heights, as is the case. The Zhao army will desperately seize this position, and they have artillery, while we only have two old-fashioned artillery, and such a battle cannot be fought at all. Even if it's down. Our losses will also increase a lot. It's really bad for us. So, I put my forces behind the commanding heights. In their textbook called, anticline. The general introduced at this time.

It turned out that this general had already calculated that the Zhao army would definitely take advantage of their artillery advantage and launch an attack. And the Qi army is obviously unable to make up for this shortcoming in this regard. They had only riflemen with rifles in their hands. For artillery, they are simply too lacking. To this end, he set his main battlefield on a commanding height. Attract the Zhao army to attack. At the same time, he put the main forces on the anticline. Because the artillerymen will not pay attention to what is behind the mountain.

And in the front position, he only put in less than two hundred lure troops. The real offense is on the anticline.

"Boom." The general had just finished his thoughts. The artillery of the Zhao army roared towards the position of the Qi army.

"Whew." A cannonball whizzed and bombarded this way.

"Boom." A loud explosion was heard. Zhao Jun's shells hit recklessly.

"Concealment. are hidden. A veteran of the Qi army shouted loudly.

"Boom." The shells kept coming. The shouts of veterans, the whistling of shells, and the constant generation of wounded. The cries of the wounded. It made the battlefield so chaotic all of a sudden.

"These sons of bitches raised Zhao people." Generals can only hide in the trenches. The constant flying cannonballs made everyone's hearts tremble. They were all praying, praying that the shells would not fall in their trenches.

"Ahh Help me. "After an explosion. A Qi soldier was hit in the stomach by shrapnel and kept wailing, hoping that someone would come to his rescue, but at this time, people were hiding in the trenches, and they didn't want shells to fall on them, because it was a very unlucky thing.

"Boom. Boom. "The continuous sound of artillery rang out for less than three minutes. But this period was the most difficult time for the soldiers of the Qi army.

After the bombardment, the smoke had not yet dissipated. But the whole position was quite silent. It was as if all the people had been killed by shells. Deathly silence.

And Zhao Jun on the other side. The colonel asked a strange question.

"Why did our artillery stop firing?" The colonel asked.

"Sir, we've run out of shells." The lieutenant colonel chief of staff on the side said helplessly.

"Oh. Is it? "Apparently the colonel did not believe that his artillery had used up all the shells so quickly.

"Yes, sir." The lieutenant colonel repeated.

"Our logistical supply is not very smooth. We have very little to replenish and consume a lot. "The lieutenant colonel wanted to tell the colonel about the current situation.

"Well, I want to launch a bigger bombardment. I didn't expect that our shells would be so pitiful. Go on the attack. "This time. The colonel suddenly gave the order to attack.

"Sir. We're going to attack? The lieutenant colonel asked suspiciously.

"Yes. If you look at the other side, you'll see that I'm doing it so right. The colonel confidently pointed to the Qi army position on the opposite side and said.

And the Qi army position on the opposite side is staging a good show.

"Run. Run. "This time. The general of the Qi army shouted loudly.

"Don't run again. Zhao Jun killed him. Run. The general took the lead and shouted loudly.

"Run." Seeing that the leader shouted like this. The other soldiers of the Qi army all began to run towards the back unceremoniously. Clearly, they had enough of the sin. They don't want to be killed by shells.
