In fact, there are no ski resorts in the north of Qin, nor do they have any ski equipment, these things have not yet been invented, Shang Wen just thought of it. But there is no such thing, and it requires actual invention. Although sledding has been used in some places, it has not been widely used, such as roller skates. There is no skating in the north, so naturally there is no love of roller skates.

The life of the Qin State is so comfortable, but it is not so comfortable for the other side.

In the north of the Qin state, the Huns were driven to the region north of the desert, where they needed to regather their forces. But the first thing to overcome is to survive in nature. When the soldiers of the Qin army and the Zhao army were huddled in their own fortifications. The Huns, on the other hand, did their best to preserve the vitality of their tribe. The cold in the north made everything worse.

The underwater temperature is forty degrees, which is the actual measured data in the military fortifications in the north of the Qin State, and this number is already very cold. This temperature was so high that the northern army of the Qin State could only let them hide in the fortifications and roast the fire. The Huns, on the other hand, had to survive tenaciously in the face of low temperatures. Two different peoples are fighting together against an enemy, the weather.

Equally bad was the fighting on the Eastern Front. The fortifications of the Qi army were built quickly, mainly because they did not build defensive trenches on a large scale. Instead, a number of artillery and machine-gun positions were simply constructed, and then extended and unfolded on this basis.

The scouts of the Qi army quickly returned a message. There is no sign of any other army behind this Yan army. This news made all the Qi army officers feel very uneasy. For this reason, they repeatedly asked the scouts to conduct reconnaissance and be sure not to reveal any important information.

"I really don't understand what it means. These damn Yan troops have no intention of fighting at all, we can just rush over. Why do we scout repeatedly. The scout of the Qi army complained.

The reconnaissance of the Qi army has turned into a search. The Yan army did not even send a guard post. Even the scouts rode on horseback and swaggered past in front of the Yan army's garrison, and the Yan army didn't care. This disregard led to a great increase in the reconnaissance speed of the Qi army. Many Scouts used to need to sneak behind enemy lines to reconnoitre, but now, they don't. The opponent doesn't even mean to defend.

The Qi army swaggered and carried out repeated reconnaissance, and found no sign of any army within a range of fifty to eighty miles behind the Yan army. It wasn't until the situation was reported again that the Qi army believed that this was an isolated force. At the same time, the scout also reported another situation. That is, the combat effectiveness of this unit is very weak.

"And dumb, deaf, camels in the army?" A Qi army officer asked, a reconnaissance veteran.

"This, this can't be, right?" The officer wondered if his ears had misheard.

"Absolutely not, we captured a prisoner yesterday, and when we were interrogated, they couldn't speak, and in the end it turned out to be a mute, and then we investigated again, and this time, we found that there were not only mutes, but also deaf people, camels, fools, and so on." Scout veteran said.

"It's weird." It was the first time that an officer had encountered such a situation.

"And we heard, and we heard it." Scout veteran said.

"What's that?" The officer asked curiously. In the Qi army, there are many old bachelors, and some of them have never even touched a woman when they are old. Many men who serve in the army never marry a wife in their lifetime, and women are too strange to them.

"Oh." The officer suddenly understood something. He nodded.

"I saw a group of people go in and do that." The veteran said with a red face.

"Hmph." The officer was embarrassed to say anything, after all, he hadn't been an officer for too long, and there was no salary for being a soldier, at most he was given two bowls of rice. Some people pay taxes when they become soldiers, and it is normal to be soldiers. Therefore, in ancient times, many people were reluctant to join the army, or they rewarded farming and warfare like the Qin State, otherwise everyone avoided being a soldier and escaped military service.

"Got it. I'll tell you about it. So saying, he departed. And the old soldier was thinking something, he didn't come back all night yesterday.

This situation soon became known to the high-ranking members of the Qi army. It was only at this time that the Qi army reacted, and their immediate enemy was not even a third-rate army, because there were fools, mutes, deaf people, camels, camels in the army, and camels were a new name, and this was because of an animal that came from the Qin State. Camels, if there were no such animals, camels would not have this title.

What kind of force this is, the Qi army knows better than anyone else. As a result, the Qi army immediately adjusted their combat policy. From an active siege, to an active offensive.

"Quick, quick. All stopped. Don't dig it. All stopped. A veteran hurriedly ran to the front of the Qi army's fortifications, which were difficult to dig because of the frozen soil, especially in the cold winter.

"What do you mean? What's going on above. The soldiers complained.

"Stop. We're ready to attack. Let the fortifications not be moved. "The veteran conveys the order. Then immediately walk away and run to the next place to deliver the order.

The soldiers didn't know what it meant, but it was certain that they didn't have to dig in the ground. Since there is no need to dig. Then don't dig it. This frozen soil is the most difficult to dig, especially after a while of rain and snow, and the soil is frozen, I don't know what happened these days. And there is no sun, and this earth cannot be solved. It's hard to dig. My hands are blistered, and I can't dig them open.

Since the fortifications don't have to dig much. Then the Qi army must be ready to counterattack. The Qi army began to rearrange. First of all, a large number of artillery units began to be used in a centralized manner, instead of being arranged on the main traffic routes for defense, although machine guns were not mobilized, because machine guns were too inconvenient. Miniguns are not as agile as water-cooled machine guns. Therefore, it is still not wise to use the machine gun as an offensive weapon, and it is still wise to use it as a defensive weapon.

The call of the Qi army was to concentrate a large number of artillery pieces on several commanding heights covered by firepower, and the Qi army planned to cover the deployment with a round of powerful artillery fire. The infantry units were placed near the commanding heights, and their task was to wait for the artillery attack to start a group charge and move south to the opponent's position in one fell swoop.

Except for the cavalry corps of 2,000 men who remained at the commanding heights as a reserve force, the rest of the cavalry all used rapid assault tactics to attack the Yan army.

After several days of mobilization, the Qi army finally completed the siege task, and the Yan army was divided into six villages of different sizes, which basically had commanding heights. And the Qi army in front of him mobilized all the artillery forces that were slowly catching up. About more than one hundred and twenty long-range guns of various kinds. The long-range artillery here mainly refers to the bronze artillery made by the Yan army and the Qin state captured by the Qi army. The firing distance of this kind of artillery and the power of using grenades are more than those produced by Qi State. And it is capable of firing two to three rounds in a minute, and the continuous firing time is more than an hour. If it is fired quickly, it is shortened to half an hour, but the launch speed can be increased by four to five rounds.

One hundred and twenty long-range guns of various types were pushed to the gun positions for fire cover.

On November 21, the weather unexpectedly cleared up. There was also a little cold wind in the morning. The top brass of the Qi army wore traditional armor. A kind of soft leather armor made beautifully, this kind of armor is not useful at all in the face of bullet shooting, but the high-ranking people of the Qi army seem to think that this can show more majesty, and the helmet style is also a traditional leather helmet, although there are metal helmets, but the metal helmets are too heavy. If you wear it for a long time, your neck can't bear it.

A little in the morning. Many Qi soldiers finished their meals early, started cooking at five o'clock in the morning, and at half past six, it was still dark. They began to eat. By the time we finished eating, it was already dawn. But it's still early to attack. They were tentatively set for eight o'clock. However, there is no way to investigate what time this eight o'clock is. Because this thing was passed down from the Qin State, the people of the Qi State themselves didn't know how to use this thing. And it can't be measured at the time of location. Therefore, this time of eight o'clock is set according to the hands on the high-rise watch. There is no such thing as the time of Linzi in Qi State.

"Damn it. Frozen to death. A Qi soldier said in the trenches. He shuddered. It shows that he is cold.

"Hey, hey. It won't be cold for a while. A veteran comforted.

"yes, did you hear that? There was a woman over there, and she rushed over for a while. Take a woman to warm you up. Hahaha. Another veteran said with a smile.

"Hey, hey." The Qi soldier smiled awkwardly. He really didn't know what a woman was.

"It's time. Let's shoot. The top of the Qi army looked at the watch in his hand, although the time had not yet reached eight o'clock. But he doesn't think it makes much sense because it's already dawn and the weather is nice today. It's just a little cold, but there's no fog. Artillery fire can be a little more accurate.

The artillery of the Qi army was all learned from the Yan army. Among them, there were also many Yan soldiers who served as their artillery advisers to guide them. However, artillery is not learned all at once. The first is a lot of complex mathematical principles, measurements. For example, the simplest triangulation geometric measurements. It took a long time for a lot of Qi artillerymen to learn how to calculate. It was through their studies that they learned Arabic numerals, multiplication formulas, the Pythagorean theorem, and other mathematical knowledge.

The reason why the Qi army carried out such a big artillery battle was because the Qi army wanted to take this opportunity to train its artillery. At the same time, it also provides a platform for the growth of artillery to show opportunities.

Only after experiencing it can there be experience in development, so that it can accumulate into a new type of artillery.

"Fire, fire."

"Bang. Boom. Boom. "A cannon releases a huge amount of energy.
