With hatred for the Qin people, the Zhao army that went out of the city was not 12,000 but 19,000 people, many of whom were five or six feet old. They only had a pair of old leather armor, holding copper spears, and after the snow continued to cool down, and they were already shivering after walking more than ten miles in the north wind; Because the Wei army insisted on defending the royal city, there were only 12,000 people, but more than 1,000 soldiers were dispatched, which was the last force of the Wei state; More than 50,000 Qi people traveled more than 1,000 miles, and only more than 30,000 people arrived at Chuying on the first day, and the rest were still on their way one after another.

As Xiong Jing had guessed, in order to choose and arm these soldiers, the shogunate had to rest for several days after the arrival of the first group of soldiers, bringing armor, weapons, and clothing from Kaifeng to these soldiers. The north wind is getting colder, the snow on the ground is constantly settling, most of the Qi people who can reach have arrived, and the soldiers who have arrived have all been selected and armed, and the war horses can already gallop on the snow without much effort.

Ding Wei, the last military meeting of the shogunate. Sitting on the left side of Xiong Jing was the general of the nations, the Wei army was led by the veteran Jin Zhu, the Zhao army was led by Sima Mao, who could never be imagined, and the Qi army was Quguang. There were also three township leaders beside him, who were originally only brigade leaders, but there were no higher-ranking officers, so they had to be promoted to become the commander of the five townships with an army of 10,000.

The number of the two armies of Zhao and Wei was not large, and the Qi army even had to be replenished by the Chu army, so the military discussion was naturally subject to the arrangement of the Chu army. More than 60,000 people of the three armies were arranged in the middle of the military formation, thinking that it was the central army, and the Chu army was instead arranged on both sides of the military formation, as the left and right armies. This arrangement did not meet with their opposition, but made them feel at ease.

On the contrary, Xiong Jing was not at ease, and he thought carefully about the layout of this battle, trying to find out the problem. It was completely futile, and the dozens of advisors of the shogunate couldn't find the problem, so how could he find the problem after simple thinking? The strategists were more worried that the Qi soldiers would have stage fright and collapse, so they took this into consideration and made up for it in the arrangement. What is really unpredictable is the weather, even if you are afraid of a sudden storm and snow in a fierce battle, but this impact is also relative, and if the coalition forces are affected, the Qin army will inevitably be affected......

"The cheater heard that the Qin chieftain spears are all inferior, and he doesn't know the ...... of the king and the military horse, so he can allow the cheater to see it." A villager beside him saluted and said. He had no objection to the battle formation and military orders, but in the past few days, he heard that the Qin chieftains were all inferior in spears, and he really wanted to see them.

"The matter of the chieftain spear ......" Zhuang Wudi looked at Xiong Jing. He really wanted to publicize that the Qin people were inferior in armor, but for some reason Xiong Jing arbitrarily stopped this. "The Qin people's armor is indeed inferior to mine, but it is not the one who is superior in armor wins, but the brave one wins. As for seeing the ......spear of the Qin people, "Seeing that Xiong Jing was silent, Zhuang Wudi felt that it was not the same as seeing the soldiers, so he said: "Take the spear of the Qin people, and then take the armor and spear of our army." ”

The inferior spears of the Qin army hit the Chu army's huge armor, such a thing was actually demonstrated by the shogunate, and the Chu army will lead Sima to determine the view that the Qin army's chieftains and spears are inferior. The demonstration of the Chu general again did not object, after all, this military discussion was not discussed, but the Chu army unilaterally arranged the array and operational details of the entire decisive battle, and the military discussion ended in less than an hour, and the rest of the time was just to watch the armor-piercing performance.

"This is the Qin people's chieftain spear?" Not all of the chieftain's spears were quenched, and some were not. This Xiangliang named Gao Qin was holding a spear that had not been quenched, and in terms of shape, he could not tell how it was different from the spear of the Chu army.

"This spear will be soft." Sima Mao was also present to inspect the spears. Obviously, he knew more about the Qin spear than the Qi people, and after picking out one of the bundles of spears, he said, "If I am a Qin pawn, I must choose this spear." ”

The chief spear in Gao Qin's hand is the same as the shape of the Yi spear, the chief spear can only see fine particles and smelting inclusions in a few places, and the chief spear in Sima Mao's hand has obvious quenching marks, the inclusion on the spear is more obvious, and the spear edge in the middle is not straight.

Gao Qin looked at the spear selected by Sima Mao and the spear selected by himself, and could not see the difference. Sima Mao smiled when he saw this, he turned his head to look behind him, the shogunate servants had already brought wine and food, and Xiong Jing was talking to Qu Guang. He grabbed the chief spear in Gao Qin's hand and threw it at the giant armor on the target not far away, 'bang, bang', two consecutive sounds, the chief spear hit the giant armor and fell to the ground.

When Sima Mao looked back again, Xiong Jing glanced over to this side disappreliantly and continued to talk to Refractor. The other Chu generals were not only not shocked, but watched with interest at the spear throwing in this way, and a shogunate servant ran over and picked up the two chieftains.

"How?" Sima Mao asked, pointing to the curved blade of the polished chieftain's spear. "It's different." He picked up the spear he had chosen, and the tip of this spear was not bent but cracked.

"Taught." Gao Qin couldn't help but nodded, the chieftain spear he chose was indeed good-looking and not easy to use.

"It's a pity that you can't break the armor." The force of the throw is not as strong as that of a rushing spear, but it is stronger than the spear of most soldiers. When the spear blade hit the giant armor, Sima Mao saw that the chieftain's spear was shot off by the giant armor. He selected another quenched chieftain spear, this time he did not throw, he ran and charged the spear like the Chu army. At this time, Zhao Han and Lian Yu, the kings of the plains, were talking to Xiong Jing, and Sima Mao, who was the general of Zhao Guo, rushed to the spear like an ordinary soldier regardless of his identity, which made Zhao Han and Lian Yu's face a little unbearable.

"I'm young." Xiong Jing smiled, saying that he was no longer young. "General Sima will be happy if he knows about it."

"None of the Qin chieftains' spears can break armor?" Zhao Han asked. He still felt in his heart that Sima Mao Meng Lang would really become the general of Zhao Guo in the future, and he would definitely cause more trouble. Like everyone else, Zhao Han was convinced that the Chu army would defeat the Qin army again, and was worried about the restoration of the Zhao state.

"None of the Qin chieftains' spears seen today can break armor." Xiong Jing is very objective. "The Qin people attacked the Great Beam, but they were also huge armor and spears. The chasm did not see the Qin people in the first battle, and there should be a huge armor and spear, and there should be a decisive battle. ”

Hearing that Xiong Jing mentioned that the Qin people were attacking the Great Liang, Zhao Han's expression changed a little, this was not hatred, but his eyes turned around in a trance, as if he thought of something important and secret. Xiong Jing didn't care about his distraction, and as he was talking, there was one cannon after another outside.

The Chu army, which was waiting for the Qi army to be trained, was not idle, and on the west side of the camp that the Qin army could not see, the foot soldiers practiced diagonal walking, and the artillery soldiers continued to test firing artillery. The performance of the short-barreled cannon made of mild steel is indeed superior, but because of its small diameter, the dispersion of shells beyond 400 meters becomes very uncontrollable, the vertical dispersion is more than 20 meters, and the length of the three trebuchets connected is less than 20 meters.

The firing of a trebuchet is about 200 meters, and at such a short distance, with the muzzle velocity of about 220 m/s for a short-barreled gun, the shell can go from disembowel to landing in a maximum of one second. According to the gunner's manual, the A-type tube burns seven millimeters per second under standard conditions, and the gunner should intercept the seven-millimeter-long letter tube and reload it. Such a short tube is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you can explode the chamber.

In the martial arts field where the smoke of gunpowder was dispersed, there were many artillery crews, but only two short-barreled guns were firing live ammunition, and the rest of the artillery crews were all practicing without ammunition. Shen Qing has been paying attention to the two live-fire test guns, there are only 3,000 rounds of blasting shells, each gun group has more than 130 rounds of test firing, and five rounds of test firing is more than 660 rounds. The practice now is to single out about half of the gun crews, and each gun group will test fire five rounds.

"Target catapult, one thunderbolt test shot, seven millimeters of signal ......"

"The target catapult, one round of thunder bomb test, seven millimeters of signal tube. Put ——! ”

The roars of the artillery came and went, and after shouting the command to 'release', only the two live-fire guns would 'boom' and spew out flames much more fierce than the fifteen-pound guns, and large areas of fire also burst out from both sides of the muzzles. In the flames, the shell came out of its disembowel, flew more than 200 meters and landed. It's a pity that the letter tube is still long, and after it lands, the shell jumped more than ten meters before it exploded with a 'boom'. It was worthy of being loaded with five pounds of gunpowder, and in the firelight, the shells exploded in the air to pieces.

"The letter manager also!" Pan Xuan, who had a dark face, looked at the somewhat dazed cannon and admonished. "Shoot again and shoot short."

The landing of the shell is only a matter of a moment, and it is almost impossible to grasp this moment. As a result, the earliest time fuses were used more for shrapnel than for blasting shells. Shrapnel explodes in the air to kill the enemy with the shotgun it explodes, which requires less accuracy from the time signal, and the shell can explode before it hits the ground, or it can bounce up and explode again after landing.

However, the shrapnel is a type of ammunition for the army, and the navy wants an explosive bomb that can explode inside the hull and cause a fire, and the shrapnel should be equipped with an explosive bomb on the other side of the shore rather than against the enemy, and there are only explosive bombs and no shrapnel during the sail period. The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Xiong Jing never thought of a shrapnel at all, all he thought about was a blasting bomb. By the time I watched the gunner's test firing and remembered that there were also those shrapnel that exploded in the air, it was already too late.

The artillery commander and artillery pawn were the teenagers who hurriedly entered the school and graduated in a hurry, and at the age of fourteen they entered Guanzhong with the Chu army, and after five years of war, they had changed from teenagers to young people, and each of them grew beards. Before Pan Xuan admonished, the gun commander carefully observed the landing point of the cannonball, and saw that the cannonball did not explode after it landed, his eyes blinked, knowing that the letter tube was truncated, but he still replied sincerely.

"Target catapult, one test shot of thunder, letter tube seven millimeters short ......" artillery firing order. The gun commander did not reduce the length of the letter tube to six or a half millimeters, but only added a short word. This made Pan Xuan look at him more, and the other gun commanders would generally be reduced to six and a half millimeters, two hundred and twenty meters per second, and half a millimeter was eighteen meters, so that the shells would explode a few meters before they landed.

"The target catapult, one round of thunder bullets, seven millimeters short. Put ——! ”

'......Boom', the flames of rage recurred, and when the flying shells hit the ground, they exploded with a 'boom', and the targets planted in the snow exploded in the firelight. The gunners were first surprised, then cheered. Pan Xuan also smiled, the second shot could blow down the target, and his luck was really good.

"Dare to ask what's the name?" Pan Xuan asked.

"Don't dare to ask the officials, boy Wu Guang." Wu Guang gave a military salute to Pan Xuan, his face full of joy.
