The first battle of Luxian, which was fierce is the largest battle in the history of the Great Qin Southern Expeditionary Army, the fierce battle is beyond Lin Yuyan's imagination, although the Great Qin is out of the new weapons, but it is inevitable that there are nearly 1,000 casualties, in addition, those as the first Mo barracks, although they are wearing heavy armor, the weapons are also high-grade sharp, but in the case of one as ten, there are also great casualties.

In this regard, Lin Yuyan also sent the best accompanying military doctor in Jiangxia for treatment, I have to say that the Mo military camp is the hole card of the army and horses of the Great Qin Southern Expedition, and it takes several years for these soldiers to cast an iron armor, and the sharp weapons in their hands are also more expensive, but in Lin Yuyan's eyes, the most important thing is these soldiers.

These soldiers were all seven feet tall, tall and mighty, and it took a lot of time for them to practice the same military formation.

Sturdy armor and sharp weapons can certainly increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Mo Barracks several times, at that time, these were all cast with iron tools, and they also had a lot of weight, so the heavily armed Mo Barracks could only exert their greatest power when they were handed over to the other party, and when Xiong Ji's army retreated, the soldiers of the Mo Barracks were also difficult to pursue.

The establishment of the Mo Barracks is 3,000 people, but there are only a few 800 people who can really carry swords on the battlefield, precisely because this means that a soldier of the Mo Barracks has at least two or three soldiers to assist him, help him put on armor, and other assistance.

The great power of the Mo Barracks on the battlefield in Luxian County also made Fang De, Chen Zhiqing and other generals feel that it was quite useful, that is, they asked Lin Yuyan for the composition of the Mo Barracks, and then they were speechless.

Although the Mo Barracks is very powerful, it doesn't seem to be sad enough to imitate, but in fact, if the Yunmeng Army does not have the support of Jiangxia Commercial Bank, it would be a fool's dream to build such a Mo Barracks, the reason is that the composition of the Mo Barracks depends on Daqin's forging skills, but in fact, it is Jiangxia's business model that can do it.

Without him, the cost of creating these 800 pairs of Mo soldiers' iron-clad Mo knives is enough to equip an elite army of 10,000 people!

Therefore, many generals can only be amazed, although they are greedy for the huge deterrent power of the Mo barracks, but when they think that it is piled up with endless money and food, they are fighting and retreating, the rich man behind the Yunmeng Army is Jiangxia Commercial Bank, Jiangxia Commercial Bank, which is rich and rivals the country!

Therefore, everyone is no longer entangled in the matter of the Mo Barracks, and they are also relieved to attribute the excellent performance of the Yunmeng Army in Lu County to the full support of Jiangxia Commercial Bank for the Yunmeng Army.

The price paid in the first battle of Luxian was naturally heavy, but the reward was also rich, killing the head of Xiong Ji's army of 30,000 or 40,000 people, and capturing more than 50,000 people.

After Xiong Ji led his troops back to Yancheng again, he cut off all the pontoon bridges that had been built, or ordered the soldiers to cut off the surrounding trees and use them to cast trebuchets and place them along the Yanshui River, apparently intending to defend Yanshui and not want the Qin army to cross the river.

After resting for two days in Lu County, the Southern Expeditionary Army and Horse once again pulled troops south to Yancheng, Xiong Ji seemed to be afraid of the soldiers and horses of the Qin people, and he trusted the solidity of Yancheng in his eyes, and actually recruited Yancheng from the soldiers who were originally scattered in various places.

There are abundant grain, grass, soldiers and horses inside, there are the tall walls of Yancheng and the surging Yanshui outside, the time and place are favorable, Xiong Ji thinks that he is on his side, as long as he does not cross Yanshui and Hanshui, and fight with the Qin army, the Qin people will definitely not be able to defeat Yancheng.

Sure enough, Yancheng, which can be trusted by Xiong Ji so much, how can the thick walls of the city be in vain, and after the Qin army's southern crossing of Yanshui was intercepted for two consecutive days, the Great Qin army also used the newly developed siege weapon - catapult!

Catapults have been implemented in the Central Plains vassal states, even if it is Jing, it is also able to master the most crude method of making catapults, Xiong Ji has set up hundreds of catapults of all sizes on the shore of Yanshui, although the quality is not good, but it is better than a large number, while the soldiers of Daqin crossed the water by boat, those catapults were also throwing dense boulders and rolling logs, so that the Daqin army also suffered heavy casualties.

The catapults of the Qin State have undergone many improvements, but the range and power are not the same, Xiong Jijun's catapults can at most hit the area in the center of the river in Yanshui, but the catapults of Daqin are often able to cross Yanshui and directly smash into the Yan city wall with Yanshui as a moat.

But it doesn't seem to have a big effect, the big boulder fell straight on the wall of Yancheng, only a shallow mark was smashed, but it was not like the city wall of Luxian County that directly smashed a section of the city wall.

At first, Lin Yuyan still didn't believe that according to the construction technology of Jing Kingdom, such a solid city wall could be built, when he saw this scene with his own eyes, Lin Yuyan was also unimaginable, the Yancheng city wall that seemed to be made of earth walls, but under the great power of the Great Qin catapult, there was no destruction of the city wall, and he was also deeply surprised!

Subsequently, Chen Zhiqing, who rushed to help, explained Lin Yuyan's confusion: "Your Highness, doesn't know that this Yancheng was built by the ancestors of Yan State?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Yuyan is also not very clear about the secrets of the Hanshui Zhuji.

Chen Zhiqing also truthfully explained everything he knew to Lin Yuyan: "The most important reason why the Ji Zhou royal family set up the Hanshui Zhuji was to curb the growing growth of the Chu State, and faintly threaten the meaning of Ji Zhou Wangji in the north, it is precisely because of this that the children of the Ji Zhou family were assigned to Hanshui as princes, Yan is an ancient country, and the country is often famous for its construction skills, Ji Zhou Wangji is to make the Han Water Zhuji recruit soldiers, and the people of Yan built the anti-Chu city wall at that time is now Yancheng!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhiqing also showed a look of reminiscence, and said at the moment: "When this Yancheng was cast, it consumed the national strength of the Hanshui Zhuji for decades, and some of the offices of the Yan Kingdom remained here, becoming the Yan Kingdom of later generations. ”

Chen Zhiqing also took a look, and the newly made catapult also poured a basin of cold water: "It seems that Jiangxia's trebuchet has improved a lot, but if you use it to destroy the city wall of Yancheng, it is still very difficult......

"Is there really no way? ......" Hearing this, Lin Yuyan turned his head to look at the city wall of Yancheng and muttered.

Chen Zhiqing responded: "The capture of Yancheng still needs to be considered in the long run......"

Lin Yuyan also realized the solidity of Yancheng, and immediately nodded and said: "Command the Han Water Army to deploy along Yanshui, and the Great Qin Army must also be stationed here, Xiong Ji is cunning, and he must not let the incident in Nanjun repeat again!" ”

Chen Zhiqing nodded and responded, "Oh! ”
