The smuggled Zhao people bypassed the Great Wall defense line of the Zhao army and then entered the territory of the Qin state. However, in Qin's new territory, they encountered new troubles. Household registration.

The state of Qin had a strict hukou system, and even newly established states had to have a new hukou for each person. Hukou was important to the Qin state, as it was usually directly related to paying taxes. The state of Qin did not allow the existence of tax evasion. So, if a person earns money on their own labor, they must also pay taxes.

Just when these people thought that when they came to the Qin State, everything would be solved. I didn't expect to encounter trouble on the household registration side. However, Qin's newly established state legislature passed a local immigration bill. That's if you come from this state. Voluntarily became a citizen of the Qin State. Then it is considered an immigration. Qin's previous legal documents were still strictly enforced in Qin's newly established states. Although the local government has a certain right to self-government. But this right is still small.

The new Qin people who took in these Zhao people. Most of these new Qin people used to be border people in the Zhao Dynasty and Yunzhong. They reported the situation to the local mayor. These matters are dealt with locally under the immigration bill. As a result, these people have a new nationality. In addition, the mayor of the town issued a letter of introduction to them to the local butcher factory to process meat products in order to increase the tax revenue. Or a tannery processing coarse leather. This will be a good way to accept these people.

This smuggling is only the beginning, and these people are not only filling their bellies, but also beginning to enjoy things that they did not dare to enjoy before. They can be like those Xinqin people, drinking and chatting around the campfire when there is nothing to do. Listen to what the newspaper says. Their lives have improved a lot, and at the very least, they have earned enough money to support themselves. But they began to feel homesick. I want to think of my relatives who are far away. They also hope that their families will also come to Qin. Although compared to those new Qin people, the conditions are not too good. But it's much stronger than in Daidi. With such an idea. These people began to go to Daidi to pick up their relatives. When picking up relatives, it is inevitable to tell what he has seen and heard in the Qin State. Such an experience is inducing an even greater wave of smuggling in Zhao State. Because a lot of people see a better life, earthquakes, lack of food, cold nights. All of this forced the Zhao people to begin a large-scale migration to Qin.

And in Qidi, the cavalry units stopped. They tried to bypass this line of defense. But soon they stopped such stupid ideas. They have entered a certain depth of Qidi. And this place is fast. Only this lot is passable. Their left side, that is, the eastern position, is mountainous. That kind of terrain is simply difficult for cavalry to deploy. The most hateful thing is that Qi people keep digging like mice. Seemingly overnight, large barbed wire and trenches appeared across from them. It was disastrous for the cavalry.

After a few days of delay, a contingent of Yan infantry finally appeared. Their main cavalry also joined them. After listening to the major's report, the cavalry colonel felt a great headache. It's the first time I've encountered such a strange way of playing.

Soon, the Yan army decided to try to destroy the barbed wire fence in front of those trenches. The Yan officers believed that the trench was nothing. The main thing is barbed wire. He seriously hampered the offensive posture of the cavalry. For the trenches, they don't think the problem is very big.

They brought in a fast-following horse artillery unit.

"I don't care what method you use, in short, you must break the barbed wire fence on the other side." The colonel gave a stern order. The military commander of the horse artillery will try all kinds of ammunition to break through the barbed wire on the opposite side.

"Grenade ready." The cannon commander shouted. He can only use various ammunition one by one.

"Put." The artillery commander shouted with a wave of his arms.

Cannonballs whizzed out. The shells landed accurately in the middle of the barbed wire. After the smoke of gunfire has disappeared. They soon discovered that something was wrong. The barbed wire fence was not much damaged at all. This annoyed the colonel a little. Grenades have always been a killer against opposing infantry, but now they are. He really couldn't say what he thought.

Then there are solid bullets, and the power of solid bullets is still very large. Although the caliber of horse artillery is small. But the power is very great for the infantry. After all, that's a cannon.

Solid projectiles ejected close to the barbed wire. The impact of the shell slammed the barbed wire open, and then bounced up and smashed through the second layer of barbed wire. But things soon became awkward.

The caliber of solid shells is simply too small. The shell simply made a hole in the dense barbed wire. Rather than opening it thoroughly. If you open then a large barbed wire. It is clear that a dense range of firing solid shells is required.

Then the artillery switched to special ammunition. Chain bullets and knife bullets are on the battlefield separately.

Chain bombs are poorly effective. The barbed wire was actually hung directly on the other party's barbed wire. The situation with knives and bullets is also very bad. It is also hung directly on the other side's barbed wire. All kinds of ammunition are gone. A sharp weapon against the opposing infantry in peacetime, in front of barbed wire. Except for the applauded performance of the solid bullet, everything else failed. The officers of the Yan army were extremely superstitious about artillery. Having artillery, they thought that it would solve all problems. Moreover, the range of artillery is very long, which makes them accustomed to long-range kills, and they are very disgusted with melee combat. No one wants to die. If you die, you won't even be paid.

Desperate, the Yan army wanted to send their infantry to cut a passage with swords and axes. But what I didn't expect was that in just a few days. The opponent's weapon suddenly rises by one level. They turned out to be muskets. The two sides fired at each other. Yan Jun suffered a big loss. The reason is that the opponent was shooting in a trench, and most of the body was well protected. And the Yan army is in a standing position, kneeling and shooting. The body is exposed. Be a good target. And the bullets of the Yan army hit the edge of the mound.

The Yan army, which had no fortifications to rely on, quickly retreated. The barbed wire fence was not broken much either. Barbed wire has a strong toughness. Breaking it with brute force is a thankless task. The harder you push, the more you keep chopping.

In this way, the two sides are deadlocked in this area. And this time, for the first time, defensive weapons prevailed over offensive ones, and the methods were simply barbed wire and trenches.

The appearance of barbed wire greatly slowed down the opponent's speed. And the appearance of trenches is not a means of obstruction. Rather, it was upgraded to a kind of defensive fortification. The two worked together to overwhelm offensive weapons with a sudden overwhelm of power. The mode of warfare begins to unfold on the surface and below the surface. Trench warfare is gradually taking shape. If there are no new breakthroughs in offensive weapons, then the war is a stalemate.
