The incessant bombardment of artillery, especially this kind of artillery attack that was more powerful than the fortress artillery, could easily make the Qin soldiers deeply affected by the attack of artillery attack. This harm doesn't just come from the body. And the heart.

High-powered artillery shells can blow up an entire machine-gun bunker made of civil structures. Not only that, but after the collapse of the machine-gun bunker. The heavy deaths inside had to make the Qin soldiers think. Their fortifications could not withstand such an artillery attack by their opponents. That is, they are in a state of insecurity. The situation is difficult to improve in the long term. Unless the artillery of the Qi army is not present, this threat will always exist.

"Boom." A huge explosion was heard. The soldiers of the Qin army huddled in their safety tunnels, listening to the huge trembling sound of the earth and the shock of the explosion. The officer shouted desperately.

But the soldier's life could not be heard, the sound of the explosion drowned out all the sound, and the soldier could only see the officer shouting loudly. Then use body language to tell them what to do. When the explosion sounded. The dirt that was lifted would cover the officer.

"Do the Qi army want to bury us alive with these damn artillery?" One of the recruits shouted.

"What did you say?" The veteran, who was also hiding in the tunnel, asked loudly. He saw the recruits open their mouths to speak, but he couldn't make out what they were saying.

"I said, we're buried alive." The recruit said loudly into the veteran's ear.

"I can't hear you." The veteran replied loudly.

"Damn it." The recruit scolded and stopped talking. This situation affected the hearing of the Qin soldiers to a certain extent. At the same time, this passive bombardment lowers the control of their patience and emotions.

"Sir, we should figure out a way. Even a little air support would be fine. Captain Qin Jun said.

"The weather is bad and air support is unreachable. And, what can all that air support do? Nothing can be done. They only add to the chaos when they come. Kill your own people? The Major said disdainfully. He was disappointed with air support. For now. There is simply too little that air support can give. The most important thing is that all contacts are cut off. At this time, they can be regarded as truly surrounded.

And the staff of the Qin army, which was far away in the Qin State, was also worried about this matter, and they now did not know how far the besieged Qin army had reached. Unfortunately, the communication is still unreachable.

"At least we don't have to worry about one thing right now. It's that they still have a lot of logistical supplies. However, the link, the link between the two, has not yet been established. That's a terrible thing for us. Wang Jian said to Yang Duanhe.

"It's been many days since I lost contact. Although their location was found in the air, the weather conditions did not allow the Celestial Army to provide more combat support. And ground reinforcements have not arrived for a long time. Yang Duanhe said.

"How's the weather?" Wang Jian asked.

"There will be clouds over the war zone for the next few days. The meteorological observatory expects a significant snowfall in the future. Yang Duanhe said to Wang Qian.

"Yes." Wang Jian just nodded. The bad weather temporarily brought the air power that the Qin army could quickly support into a period of low tide.

The Qin army currently has no way to solve the situation of the besieged Qin army. And the situation of the besieged Qin army became more and more difficult.

"Whoosh." A cannonball whistled out.

"Boom." The shells exploded in the distance. This is a shell from a bronze cannon. Even this old-fashioned bronze cannon is very powerful. The cannonballs were powerful enough to blow a wagon into the sky.

"Damn the Qi people." One of the several Qin soldiers huddled in the trench cursed.

"Shelling. Lie down. A Qin officer walked back and forth and shouted loudly.

"Shelling, shelling. Every day is shelling. Damn can the Qi people stop the shelling, are they not a lot of shells. One soldier complained.

"Man, don't get excited. Calm down. Another soldier on the side said.

"How calm I am. Damn the artillery of the Qi people. The soldier said.

The people around him could only look at the soldier in silence. Non-stop shelling day and night. tormenting the psychology of the soldiers of the Qin army. Invisibly, it puts a lot of pressure on them. This pressure comes from artillery.

The artillery of the Qi army was still bombarding, and it was purposeful, launching attacks day and night without interruption, and different types of artillery were constantly bombarding the positions of the Qin army. In order to ensure that these guns can be fired without interruption. The base camp of the Qi army ordered to stop the offensive of multiple troops. And some of the ammunition that had been allocated to those units was intercepted. Transferred to the front line besieging the Qin army. It can be said that the Qi army in order to eliminate the besieged Qin army. Invested in the capital.

"Hurry up. Ammunition transport vehicles go from this side. A Qi soldier wore a white ribbon with the words "Gendarme." "Qi Jun learned it from Yan Jun. And Yan Jun learned it from Qin Jun.

Originally, there was no gendarme, and the responsibility of the gendarmerie was often assumed by the guards of the supreme general, so to speak, many times. Most of the gendarmes are not specialized soldiers. Which servicemen in addition to fighting on the battlefield. There is also a temporary task of serving as a gendarmerie.

Although the Qi people copied a gendarme, the professionalism of the gendarmerie still has not been learned. That is, something in essence. The people of Qi did not learn home.

However, it is not that the people of Qi have not learned anything. At the very least, they learned a little. That's how to manage their logistics. The Qin people established their own staff system. This kind of staff system was first established for the purpose of planning logistics. The Qin army established such a system according to Shangwen's intentions. And plan in advance, so that the logistics and war situation of the Qin State are organically integrated. This greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Qin army.

And the Qi army, although it does not know what the purpose of the establishment of the staff was at the beginning. However, they believed that the Yan army referred to the staff system established by the Qin army, which was very useful in dealing with logistical problems. In particular, the distribution of ammunition and logistical supplies. This is much higher than in the past, when generals were assigned to the generals, because the generals had to manage the marching formation. Assign combat missions, etc., and also manage logistics and supplies. Although in this regard. At the earliest, there was a military Sima to manage it. But Sima's authority does not know how the overall situation is considered. And the Qin army's staff system was considered from the overall situation from the beginning. This. It is much higher than the ancient Sima system.

It is precisely because of this that Qi Jun decisively gave up the Sima system. A more rational staff system was introduced. Although the Qi army is not called the General Staff, it is called the Sima Department, but its role is similar to that of the Qin Army's General Staff.

In terms of function, the authority of the Sima Department of the Qi Army is not as large as that of the Qin Army's General Staff for the time being. Opposite. For the time being, their authority is only to manage the entire logistics and supply of the Qi army, especially the distribution of weapons and ammunition. Therefore, the power of the Sima Department of the Qi army is not very great for the time being. Moreover, it has not yet formed a relatively complete staff system like the Qin army.

The power of the Sima Department is not very large. It is mainly related to the personal understanding of the generals of the Qi army. They one-sidedly believe that after the advent of firearms. Weapons and ammunition have become one of the important factors in logistical supply, especially after the emergence of artillery as a technical branch. The dependence of artillery on shells, especially the deployment of artillery fire centered on the infantry, became the central point of the entire formation. The supporting role of this central point becomes very apparent.

The role of artillery was very obvious in the eyes of the generals of the Qi army. Artillery can destroy any enemy point of fire. In a strong formation, it will also become vulnerable to artillery bombardment. Then use an infantry musket formation to press. It is entirely possible to win. It is precisely this idea of firepower strike that makes the generals of the Qi army think. The key factor of victory is all pressed on artillery, and the supply of artillery shells will have a great relationship with the length of time the shells are suppressed. Because whether this front line can exert maximum firepower and suppress it has a lot to do with it.

War always makes the war machine, especially the military, do something efficient. This is the case for the Qi army, and the Qi army is also constantly learning and learning from it, especially about some tactical tactics after the opening of the era of firearms warfare. Because no one has had this kind of experience before.

Qin Guo himself is constantly improving and learning. The two powerful countries in the East and the West were constantly exploring firearms tactics, and the Qin army relied too much on their developed technology, while the Qi army continued to accumulate experience in tactics. At the same time, they are also learning Qin Jun's advanced concepts in overall management. For example, the staff system of the Qin army. and other management methods. Some generals of the Qi army believed that the military rank system should also be set up like the Qin army. However, the establishment of this system was linked to the economic foundation of the Qin army.

The foundation of the state of Qin was at the beginning of the era of industrialization. People work freely and equally. And good business management. Let Qin Jun pay more attention to the play of the individual and the consistent play of the collective effect. That is to say, for the reason of incentives, the enterprise management of the Qin State does not pay much attention to other personal reasons. For example, when they were born, what they did before before, what they value is the individual's current ability.

Qi is different. The state of Qi has a strict hierarchy. Civilians are civilians. An official at the level of a doctor is an official. As for those who read, they have their own circles. Moreover, although this boundary has become blurred for a time, it still exists, and it is precisely this existence that makes it impossible for the Qi army to have such a military rank system that is conducive to promotion at the bottom.
