446 The new army of Yan State was in full swing

Unlike the Qin state, which was struggling to solve its own financial problems. Yan Guo looked a little impatient. Yan Wang at the end of the exercise. It has already been ordered to let all three divisions of the Yan New Army go to the front line to recover the lost territory. And hit Zhao Jun and Qi Jun as hard as possible.

Three divisions of Yan State, with a total of 100,000 people, went to the front line with full personnel. The roads that Qin helped build had not yet reached the front line. But the Yan army has been mobilized on a large scale. If it weren't for the bad road conditions, the Yan army would have openly launched a counteroffensive regardless of the mediation of the Qin State.

The divisional establishment of the Yan Army is very large. They were compiled with reference to the three or three formations of the Qin army. Three brigades constitute a division, and three regiments constitute a brigade. In addition, there are cavalry brigades and artillery brigades directly under the division. A series of troops such as the Engineer Corps. The establishment of one division is more than 30,000 people. This was incomprehensible in the eyes of Qin Guo, because it was very difficult to command. But the people of Yan don't care about that.

The Yan people use these troops, which is very simple. It is a regiment, a regiment that is put into battle. Or two regiments, one regiment to participate in a large-scale offensive. Their generals seem to have some military talent, and deliberately control the scale of the battle at the regimental level.

On the afternoon of July 2. A regiment of the Yan army, plus an artillery battalion, and a cavalry company, began to attack the camp of the Zhao-Qi coalition army.

The main forces of the Zhao army all retreated. A total of more than 15,000 people were left at the front. this camp. There were about 3,000 Zhao troops. The Qi army has the largest number of personnel. About 5,000 people. At noon, their scouts spotted a force of more than 3,000 men coming from the Yan army.

As soon as the two armies of Zhao Qi were combined, they decided to send troops together to defeat the Yan army.

In the afternoon. The Zhao Qi coalition army lined up in formation and waited for the Yan army.

And more than 2,000 infantry regiments of the Yan army also lined up in formation. At this time, the two armies were separated by more than three miles. The artillery was barely within reach. But neither side fired a shot. The Zhao-Qi coalition army did not have much ammunition. I don't want Lang fee. The Yan army followed the Qin army's instructions to fire a little more than two miles. Because of that point. The artillery killing effect is relatively satisfactory.

Neither of the two armies moved. Just pull out the posture and wait for the fight.

The infantry of the Yan army followed the tutorial of the Qin army. The company and platoon stood still, and lined up in formation with the battalion as the left, center, and right. The battalion commander shuttled between the companies and platoons, using simple language to boost morale.

The drummer beats the tin drum over and over again. The fast snare drum rhythm makes every Yan soldier feel the tension of war.

"Two artillery batteries fired at a rapid pace. An artillery battery extended fire fire. "One wears a mountain hat. An eagle emblem is pinned to the hat. Indicates that he is the head of the regiment.

"Yes, sir." A lieutenant artillery staff officer drove away on horseback. Yan Jun learned almost everything from Qin Jun as it was.

"Put." "Bang. Boom. Boom. Boom. "Two companies of eight artillery guns began to fire rapidly, and they first began to attack with grenades.

"Whoosh." Cannonballs whizzed by. The shells accurately landed in the crowd of infantry of the Zhao-Qi coalition army.

"Ahh A large group of Zhao soldiers were killed. Shell after shell caused a large number of coalition soldiers to be killed or wounded. The formation began to loosen.

"Damn. Fast. Let the infantry attack on all fronts. The chariot and cavalry quickly charged and overwhelmed their artillery positions. Fast. General Zhao Junshou quickly ordered. The rapid artillery fire forced the Zhao army to attack first.

The infantry began to rush in a haphazard manner. The chariots and cavalry began to attack the artillery positions of the Yan army from both flanks. At the same time, the artillery of the Zhao army began to wield. It was a bold combined attack. Zhao Jun knew the role of artillery very well, but he also knew that the artillery of Zhao and Qi could not engage in a head-on confrontation with the artillery of Yan State. Therefore, the artillery played only a short period of fire support.

The shells were all solid. Rely on ricochets to hit the Yan army. Flying shells bounced past. directly knocked off the head of a soldier in the Yan Army. Blood splattered on the faces of the soldiers around them. But they didn't even look at it. Still standing upright. Rigorous training has made them accustomed to this kind of scene. Qin Jun once took the severed sheep's head and threw it into their formation. Anyone who leaves the team. Without exception, all of them were severely punished. The soldier was probably nervous at first. But the rigorous training soon calmed them down. They start to get used to the environment.

The ricochets continued to fly. Most of them fell in front of the Yan army and did not hit the Yan army, and a small number of them hit the formation of the Yan army. After the tragic death of some soldiers. Someone quickly made up for it immediately. Yan Jun is well-trained. On the other hand, the artillery level of the Zhao-Qi coalition army is really not very good.

Colonel Yan Jun saw the Zhao army moving on all fronts. immediately change the formation. Three battalions were lined up in an inverted U-shape. And pull away from each other. A hundred paces apart, two fifty paces apart. It is the distance of the musket kill.

There was also an artillery battery of four guns stationed in this gap. The two artillery batteries began to adjust their firing angles and concentrate on attacking the chariots and cavalry that were rushing over. Soldiers. The Qi army still retains such an ancient army. And the Zhao army has gradually begun to eliminate the cavalry.

Rush to kill on the way. Shells constantly hit the galloping chariots and horses, especially the ricochet. A single shell can smash an entire vehicle. The horses were also broken up. The chariot cavalry quickly charged the front of the Yan infantry.

Fifty paces away.

"Put." The battalion commander shouted. The company commanders began to receive orders to wield their swords.

"Bang bang." There was a flash of lightning and thunder. The Yan soldiers who shot in a crouching position opened fire. Then the soldiers opened fire. This was followed by a platoon of standing soldiers who opened fire.

Dense bullets knocked the cavalry and chariots to the ground. Some of the chariots, cavalry, who tried to storm the formation. Stabbed to death in front of the formation with a dense bayonet.

Helpless. The living chariots and cavalry began to move into the formation through two gaps in formation. A hundred paces is enough for the rest of the people. But they were fooled. This gap is intentional. The range of the musket was fifty to sixty percent within fifty paces. Two sides and one pinch. The results are exceptionally good.

Three platoons of shooting. Like lightning and thunder, it took away most of the remaining chariot soldiers, the cavalry attack. What is even more odious is that the four guns on the front fired grapeshot. That is, scattershots. Dense small iron balls. Completely wipe out the remaining chariots and cavalry. The chariots and cavalry of the Zhao and Qi coalition armies were all wiped out. While some of the horses were still neighing, their riders were dead. There were severed limbs and dead bodies everywhere. The battlefield has become unusually brutal. Cold-blooded.

At this time, the Yan army began to quickly change formations. Restore the formation of rows and rows of guns. Mass slaughter followed.
