Shang Wen and Han Shu talked a lot about the economic crisis. But Shang Wen still doesn't have an idea of specific measures, he needs to wait, wait for the economic crisis to expand further, but some people in Qin don't think so, they think that they can save Qin's economy from the crisis.

Just when the Qin State was quietly undergoing great changes. On the battlefield on the Eastern Front, new changes are taking place. The arrival of the Prince of Yan's army made the battlefield begin to develop towards the side of the Allied forces.

"Boom." An armored battlefield advanced on the plains. The huge engine roared and the ears of the people around it hurt.

Behind the chariot, followed by a company of infantry of the Prince of Yan Kingdom.

Just a short time after the advance of the princeling infantry was not far behind. The commander of an armored combat vehicle climbed out of the machine-gun tower, then stretched out his arm and waved it. Signal everyone to stop.

This is the only armored combat vehicle left by the prince's army of the Yan Kingdom. The armored combat vehicles of the Prince of Yan Kingdom were very seriously damaged. Except for most of the loss on the battlefield, the rest were all unusable due to maintenance or other mechanical problems. With the help of the mechanics of the Qin State, they finally raised such an armored combat vehicle from a large pile of scrap metal.

And because of the serious cost of the prince army of Yan State, it is difficult for them to replenish armored combat vehicles again, and at the same time, the Yan people and the Qin people have the same concept. That is, the performance of armored combat vehicles on the battlefield is very unsatisfactory, this weapon, although powerful, but very poorly maneuverable, appears very bulky. At the same time, both countries believe that such weapons can exist only as infantry support weapons. For continued development. Neither country is interested. It was for this reason that Yan Guo stopped the purchase program for armored combat vehicles. Instead, they liked another weapon, and that was artillery. They began to massively increase the number of artillery.

"Boom, boom." The engine still roared, and the air transfer of the engine gave all the infantry a headache.

"This big guy, the sound is so loud, it makes my ears hurt." A soldier said. The soldiers of the Prince Army of the Yan Kingdom were very rigid and unfolded according to the marching formation of the company, as if they were using flintlock muskets, they were deployed in battle formation, one row in a row, and three columns were neatly unfolded.

"Shhhh Don't talk anymore. A sergeant reminded.

And in the trenches not far behind them. Hiding was a group of Zhao soldiers, who hid quietly in the trenches. This location was the meeting place of the two armies. The late arrival of the prince army of the Yan State made the Zhao army very dissatisfied, so they gave this attack mission to the Yan army, while their own army hid behind.

The Zhao army did this because they couldn't take the opposite position at all.

The positions on the opposite side were well fortified. The sporadic appearance of Qi snipers and various defensive positions seriously delayed the advance of the Zhao army's troops. They suffered heavy losses along the way. They lacked effective fire support. Poor logistical supply capacity has severely reduced their combat effectiveness.

"Why haven't those Yan people attacked yet?" Zhao soldiers said as they hid in the trenches.

"Do you see the cannon behind them? They're waiting for the thing to attack. Their artillery is much more advanced than ours. Sergeant Zhao Jun said.

"We can't. There is nothing, only rely on us to rush and kill, and let the Qi people shoot us like rabbits. And all we can do is wait for death. The sergeant complained. Facing the defense of the Qi people. The Zhao army could only rely on infantry to fight. Despite some evasive measures by the infantry, it was difficult for them to make an effective breakthrough in a tight defensive line.

The defense arranged by the Qi people has a fight with the Qin people. They were very well arranged, and the long war forged them quite a lot of veterans, who knew how to buy fortifications and could effectively resist the attack of the other side.

They usually lay out three lines of defense. If they had time, even if it was very short, they would have placed two fortifications. On the first fortification, they would place dense barbed wire to prevent direct onslaught from the opposing infantry, because in that case, the Qi people would need to divide a lot of forces to defend these places. The advent of barbed wire has made the situation much better.

"Those Qi people are very treacherous in fighting." This is the evaluation of the soldiers of the Qin State and the soldiers of the Zhao State and the soldiers of the Yan State against the national soldiers.

The Qi people are very famous for their tactical application, especially in strategy, which is not difficult to explain why famous military strategists appear in the Qi country.

Qi was very cunning in their strategy, and they usually stood out on the flanks of the position. The protrusion of the two wings is concealed by this, and in the barbed wire on the front, they sometimes deliberately leave some gaps.

As the attacker, the Zhao army naturally wanted to focus on these gaps. That's when disaster happens. When the soldiers of the Zhao army concentrated their forces to attack these points. Their ranks will be very dense, and then they will be mercilessly shot by the Qi army, and the dense formation can easily kill and seriously injure. The results can be imagined.

There are also those concealed flank firing points, those flank points from the side, far greater than the effect of shooting from the side, the Zhao army often suffered great losses from the flanks, in this regard, the Zhao army turned to concentrate on attacking the flank positions.

But the flank positions were quite cleverly arranged. It was ingenious to the point that it was very difficult for the Zhao army to attack. Hidden bunkers are laid out everywhere. The Zhao army had just captured one and was planning to attack, but it was attacked by a bunker from the other direction. All of a sudden, everyone stopped, and they turned to attack the bunker, but they had just attacked. They will find that another one has appeared on their flank. The soldiers of the Zhao army completely collapsed. They have sappers. But sappers are not specialized in civil engineering blasting. They rarely use those sappers on the front line, on the contrary, they always use them in the rear. As a result, the Zhao army's attack became very restrictive. It's hard for them to unleash.

These are important reasons why it is difficult for infantry to advance, and it can be said that in infantry tactics. The Qi army was ahead of the Allied countries. The Allies had a lot to learn from the Qi army.

"What do the allies on the other side want to do?" A commander of the Qi army saw it with a telescope at this time. And an officer in the back took the initiative to step forward and ask.

"Whatever they do? They are always trying to find a way to occupy our positions, and our task is not to allow them to break through. This is very important to us. The commander said.

And behind the important offensive formations of the Allied offensive. The artillery has already been deployed. The Yan army relied on the efforts of their sappers, and it took them a long time to recruit all the Yan people in the vicinity to level their roads. These cannons, imported from the Qin State, were transported here, and their caliber ranged from three to six inches. The artillery is also much more powerful. They are all reloaders. The addition of a reentry machine slowed down the huge recoil of the artillery. The advent of fixed ammunition has greatly improved the stability of their artillery.

"Azimuth 0321, 0021 aiming." An artillery captain shouted loudly. For this offensive. The Yan army threw in a battalion of artillery. There were many types of artillery, and they had to separate them separately. The good thing is that they have a phone line to get in touch.

"Bang la la blah." The artillerymen immediately adjusted the firing position, height.

"Ding." There was a crisp metal crash. The artillerymen loaded the shells into it.

"Bang." The cannon door closes again.

"Put." The artillery captain shouted loudly.

"Bang. Bang bang. "Three artillery pieces were the first to attack.

"Boom. Whining. "Cannonballs whizzed out.

"Get down." The soldiers of the Yan Army, who were standing in front waiting for the order to attack, heard the sound of cannons, and they instinctively lay down. Dodge artillery attacks. The huge power of the artillery terrified all the Yan soldiers, not just the Yan soldiers. All the soldiers were afraid.

And the soldiers of the Zhao army who were hiding in the trenches all lay down. Despite the guns being fired from their side, they still have a natural sense of reverence for them.

"Not good." The Thousand Husband shouted loudly.

"Boom. Rumble. Rumble. "But this time. The shells have fallen.

"Boom." The world swirled. On the position of the Qi army, several large craters were blown up. Some of the shells went directly into the trenches. The Qi soldiers inside were torn to pieces at once. Others were stunned, and the splashes of dirt covered them up.

The first to launch an artillery attack was the heavy artillery unit of the Yan Kingdom, and their artillery caliber was six inches, which was equivalent to a 120 to 130 mm caliber artillery, and the artillery bombardment effect of this caliber was very terrifying. Only one company in the Yan Kingdom was equipped with three of these heavy cannons, but its power made everyone feel terrified.

"Whew." The shells are still coming. The entire position of the Qi army was instantly bombed and the ground was shaken. Many Qi soldiers lay on the ground, trying to dodge the past, but the huge shock made the internal organs of those soldiers unbearable. They will know how stupid it is to do so after the shelling, but none of them have experienced such severe shelling.

The huge vibration of the shells will completely shatter their internal organs, and after the shelling, they will look fine, but their ears, nostrils, will shed some blood to varying degrees, and then their faces will be pale, weak, and vomit blood. In the end, they died, and if they were to be dissected, they would find that their internal organs were all broken. That's the power of heavy artillery. Lethality is far behind.
