When Qin Lei finished inspecting the camp and returned to the Chinese military tent, it was already the middle of the moon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info saw that Qin Li was also in the camp and was sitting there in a daze.

Nian Yao, who pretended to be a pro-soldier, hurriedly served the hot meal and said in a low voice, "It's been hot several times." ”

Qin Lei nodded, motioned for her to go out first, and asked Qin Li, who had just woken up, "How about the casualties of the troops?" ”

"It's heavy." Qin Li said in a low voice: "Even the dead and wounded, more than seven thousand. ”

"So much?" Qin Lei originally touched a steamed bun, and when he heard this, he held it in his hand and said, "Let the First Army attack the city tomorrow." ”

"The Fourth Army is not a garbage army that is about to collapse at the touch of a button," Qin Liqiang said with a smile: "Let's go up when we can't stand it anymore." He said in a low voice and said, "But this is indeed a hard bone, and you stipulate that you will take it down within seven days, and I am afraid that I will break my teeth if I bite hard." ”

"It's not that I stipulated," Qin Lei said with a wry smile: "It's that Zhao Wuyi has to report to the whole army and set off, and he can arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass in seven days at the earliest. ”

"I see!" Qin Li Huo Ran got up and said: "From tomorrow onwards, regardless of the loss, even if it is a light pole, I will also take it down for you on time." ”

Qin Lei then got up and said, "There is no need to do this, we still have to accumulate strength and wait for the fatal blow." As he spoke, he patted the steamed bun crumbs on his hand and said, "Let's take turns with the two armies, I have already told Shen Qing that it will be the first army tomorrow." ”

"Is this an order?" Qin Li glanced at him and said in a rough voice.

"Isn't that an order?" Qin Lei asked with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Qin Li nodded and said, "You are the boss, of course you have the final say, and you can sleep tomorrow." He glanced at the food on the table again and said, "Hurry up and eat, if you eat cold all the time, you will have stomach pain at my age." "It seems that he is already deeply troubled.

Qin Lei smiled and said, "I know, in fact, I started to have stomach pain a few years ago. ”

"It's a blessing that I won't enjoy." Qin Li said angrily: "Take care of yourself, I'll go." As soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Qin Lei say, "Big brother......"

Qin Li turned his head and saw Qin Lei say softly: "In the future, don't be so close to the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns, whether you are a prince or a small soldier." ”

Qin Li didn't expect him to say this, he stayed for a moment, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Don't worry, I'm forty years old, I know what's wrong." ”

"Promise me that there won't be a second time for today's events." Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "Otherwise, you will be deprived of the power of front-line command." ”

"Don't." Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Qin Li jumped to his feet and said, "I promise you that you can't do it?" ”

The second day of siege was indeed replaced by Shen Qing's troops, the combat style of the First Army was significantly different from that of the Fourth Army, they paid more attention to teamwork, and the individual combat ability was strong enough, and the weapons and equipment used were also more sophisticated. When the vanguard forces attacked the city, the follow-up troops would throw a large number of explosive incendiary bombs like the city head, causing great trouble to the defense of the Qi army.

Of course, they also have shortcomings, that is, they are not as desperate as the Fourth Army, although they are also very brave in battle, but the pressure on the Qi Army does not seem to be as great as that of the Fourth Army. Thanks to the endless array of firearms, this did not lose momentum. Although he did not advance an inch in one day, at the cost of only injuring more than 2,000 people, he killed and wounded at least more than 5,000 defenders, I don't know whether to say that it is a miracle or an irony.

But when Shen Qing came down from the front line and saw the iron face of the prince, he knew that Qin Lei was very dissatisfied.

"The troops are so scattered, and the subordinates are not strict in discipline on weekdays." Shen Qing hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "I will definitely punish them heavily when I go back." ”

"Punish the fart!" Qin Lei sneered: "Will that group of veterans be afraid?" ”

"Then fight until you're afraid." Shen Qing said with shame on his face.

"Forget it, I'm too idealistic." Qin Lei glanced at the tattered Tiger Prison Guancheng in the dusk, and sighed: "The elite division must not only be fine, but also sharp!" He used three forbidden armies with rich combat experience to form the first army, and originally wanted to use the elite army policy to form a lineage ace, but he was worried that his generals with outstanding abilities but complex backgrounds would privatize the army, so he chose Shen Qing, who was loyal but a little less qualified, to command.

This method seems to be quite reliable on weekdays, but when it comes to this kind of hard work, it becomes apparent...... They are all veterans of a hundred battles, and in addition to their rich combat experience, they also know how to protect their lives. At this time, there is no main general who can hold down the position, and the so-called trump card that is bent on avoiding casualties seems to be easy but not enterprising.

But the prestige is earned by himself, not by others, Qin Lei can help Shen Qing to the position of army commander, but he can't make the officers and soldiers sincerely believe in him...... On the contrary, because of Shen Qing's youth, some division commanders and regiment commanders will snub him.

"I'll take the attack the day after tomorrow." Qin Lei sighed and said.

Shen Qing's face twitched a few times, and he kowtowed heavily: "Please give the prince another chance, if you can't take the Tiger Prison Pass, your subordinates are willing to apologize with death!" ”

"Don't talk too much." Qin Lei said lightly: "As long as you let Gu see the change, go down and rest!" ”

Shen Qing saluted again and retreated with heavy steps.

The next day, it was the boss's turn to attack the city, and the Fourth Army, which had been fully rested, once again showed the friendly army what it means to be imposing like a rainbow and what it means to be bloodthirsty, and the frenzied attack lasted from morning until the sun set, during which it attacked the city several times, but was repelled again and again by the Qi army that swore to resist to the death, and the blood of both sides flowed down the city wall, and even dyed the moat dark red.

By the time it was time to collect its troops, the Fourth Army had suffered more than 8,000 casualties...... The good news is that after two days of actual combat, Qin's artillery units have figured out a set of effective auxiliary tactics. After communicating with the besieging troops, they used continuous and intensive artillery fire to concentrate on attacking the five sections of the city wall at equal distances, dividing the position of the Qi army into several parts that could not support each other, so that the Qi army could not create a local advantage, and greatly reduced the pressure on the besieging troops.

Due to the direct intervention of artillery, the casualties of the Qi army on the third day skyrocketed, totaling more than 10,000 people, almost equal to the sum of the previous two days.

This made Qin Li's face not so ugly in addition to heartache. Since ancient times, the damage of the besieging side was much higher than that of the defending side, and now that he could reverse the loss, he really had nothing to complain about.

Seeing that his face was cloudy, Qin Lei said softly: "I have already conscripted one million retired soldiers to re-enlist, and the first batch of 100,000 people in place will be all for you." ”

Qin Li was suddenly overjoyed, and said with a sneer: "How can this be embarrassing? "You must know that the current armed forces of the Qin State are divided into three categories according to the nature of soldiers, volunteers who are soldiers as soldiers; compulsory military service for five years; and the largest number of reserves.

There are also two types of reserves, some are demobilized soldiers who have returned home after military service, and the other are regimental training reserves who have never enlisted in the army and have only received armed training in the local area. It is self-evident which is better and which is inferior.

In anticipation of the war, the high command only issued a second-level conscription order to the whole country, that is, to order veterans who had received formal training to re-enlist.

After the war began on the fourth day, Shen Qing actually carried a big knife and went to the front line to command. Seeing that the army commander went up, the division commanders and regiment commanders dared to slack off again, so they had to follow suit, and the subordinates who were urged to attack desperately with their teeth and claws open, and they were ashamed!

Maybe it was Shen Qing's leading soldiers who played a role, or maybe it was the disdainful gaze of the rookies of the Fourth Army that deeply stimulated them, and the veterans of the First Army burst out with unprecedented fighting spirit, transforming their experience and skills into combat effectiveness to the greatest extent.

After three days of chariot fighting, the defenders were exhausted, all the troops had joined the rotation, all the troops had suffered heavy losses, and even some of the troops had been completely wiped out. If it weren't for the fact that this was the Tiger Prison Pass, I believe that the Qi army would have collapsed......

For the first time since the beginning of the war, the Qin army had the upper hand, and after attacking the city wall several times, it finally controlled a section of the city wall several zhang long at noon, and victory beckoned to them again.

Shen Qing had already shouted hoarsely, forcibly suppressed the violent heartbeat, and said hoarsely: "Reserves go up and stabilize the position!" Qin Xu, who had already been promoted to the head of the regiment, responded in a deep voice, and he was going to personally lead the reserve team to set off.

But I saw countless huge stones flying out of the city and falling on the city wall of ten zhang or so, including that part of the position, and slapped all the two sides fighting in the city into meat sauce......

The shouting and killing on the battlefield was obviously suppressed, and the officers and soldiers on both sides looked at that section of the city wall in disbelief, knowing that the Qi soldiers above were several times that of the Qin army......

Chen Liefeng's eyes were red, he was panting, and he looked at the battlefield without saying a word, as if the thousands of soldiers were not killed by his order.

After a dozen breaths, the Qin army's catapults and red-coated cannons let out a violent roar, leveling the exposed projection positions of the Qi army...... This is already the eighth Qi army projection position knocked out by the Qin army in the past four days, and it is actually the last of the Qi army.

Affected by Chen Liefeng's cold blow, the battle gradually turned dull. Seeing that it was close to noon at this time, Qin Lei ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, wait for enough food and drink, and then fight for another 300 rounds.

Just after lunch, Shen Qing was called to the Chinese army by the black-clothed guard, and saw that Prince Yong was also there.

The two nodded slightly, and then looked at Qin Lei together, only to see that his face was solemn, and his eyes were staring directly at the black tiger flag. The two of them also looked at the slightly fluttering flag corner, and it took a long time to hear the prince say: "The breeze is westward, and I finally waited." ”

The two looked at each other, not knowing what the prince meant.

"Shi Kang, order the Einsatzgruppen to join Shen Qing's forward." Qin Lei ordered softly.

"Yes!" Shi Dare took the order and left.

Qin Lei leveled his gaze at this time, and looked at the two army commanders with blazing eyes and said: "The two of you are in the whole team, Shen Qing is in front, and the eldest brother is behind, Shen Qing will first cooperate with the special team to attack, and after the enemy at the head of the city loses its combat effectiveness, he will attack together, without sparing a hand, and the final word will be made!" ”

"Yes!" The two responded in unison.

"Go ahead." Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Lonely Wen is a good celebration wine, waiting for the good news of the two." After speaking, he closed his eyes, sat quietly as if he were a god, and did not speak...... Without waiting or admitting it, he was now more and more pretentious.

Qin Li was full of questions, but seeing Qin Lei's style, he had no choice but to retreat, and when he walked away, he grabbed Shen Qing and said, "What kind of medicine is sold in your lord's gourd?" ”

Shen Qing smiled bitterly: "I don't know if it's a lowly position, maybe it's a secret weapon." ”

"What secret weapon?"

"We'll find out later." Shen Qing got rid of Prince Yong's entanglement without a trace, and arched his hand: "I went to gather the team and retired first." ”

"Ball, I've never seen such a cautious guy." Qin Li scolded, turned his head helplessly, and went to the whole team without mentioning it.

Not only was he curious, Shen Qing's heart was also itching, and when he returned to the front, he saw a team of black armor already waiting there.

Seeing that they were all carrying an arm-thick brass pipe on their backs, Shen Qingxin said, "It seems that the secret is in this tube." He smiled at the black-faced Einsatzgruppen Captain, "What is this?" ”

The Captain of the Einsatzgruppen didn't hide it from him, and said softly, "Lord Hui, the launcher." ”

"I knew it was a launcher, a launch or something." Shen Qing rolled his eyes and said.

"Lord Hui, it's a poisonous dragon bullet."

Hearing this answer, Shen Qing couldn't help but be a little disappointed. He is no stranger to poisonous dragon bullets, and when he was still a palace guard, the prince equipped them. As long as this thing is thrown to the ground, several ingredients in it will react quickly, emitting heavy smoke, making people cough and tears, and they are at a loss for a while, and they have been used in several times to quell riots, and it should be said that the effect is still good.

However, in siege warfare, the method of smoking the enemy with thick smoke is not new, and a well-guarded city like Tiger Prison Pass must have been equipped with clear water towels for a long time, which will greatly reduce this method. However, now it is a tailwind, and the wind is very small, it is the best time for the application of this poisonous dragon bullet, it is estimated that there will be some auxiliary effects, but it is impossible to make a final decision, right?

Seeing the disappointed expression on his face, the captain was enraged, and said in an accentuated tone: "My lord, don't underestimate this poisonous dragon bullet, it is not an ordinary poisonous dragon bullet. ”

"Oh, what is that?" Shen Qing was raised again.

"It's very different from what you used back then." The captain said with excitement on his face: "It is a super invincible enhanced version of the poisonous dragon bullet, and the effect is far from comparable to those antique goods!" ”

Seeing him so solemn, Shen Qing put away his contempt and said, "Please also ask my brother to explain it to me." ”

"Yes!" The captain puffed up his chest as if demonstrating: "In the past, the poisonous dragon bullet was mainly used to block the enemy's sight with smoke, although it was quite irritating to the mouth and nose, but as long as the mouth and nose were covered with a damp cloth, it could not cause harm. ”

"Since the prince ordered the improvement, we spent seven years and experimented with more than 9,000 kinds of materials, and finally used 27 kinds of poisons such as sulfur, grass bird head, flame nitrate, croton, wolf poison, tung oil and other 27 kinds of poison mixed with black powder to configure this new type of poisonous dragon bullet. Once detonated, the smoke produced can cause a person's eyes to be temporarily blind for more than three hours! As long as a small amount is inhaled, it can cause nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, shock and coma, and completely lose combat effectiveness. Speaking of pride, the captain's hands danced involuntarily, probably his eyebrows fluttering.

"Can our gas masks withstand it?" Seeing that the artillery team had begun to prepare for firepower, Shen Qing sped up and asked concisely.

"Our new mask can completely block it!" Captain Cheng Zhu said in his chest: "Just look at it!" ”

When the purgatory-like shelling was over, the black-faced Qi officers and soldiers came out from all corners, and in a short time they were all over the city wall. Although the Qin army's artillery fire was still fierce, they already knew how to hide.

Silently looking at the enemy troops rushing up like a tide under the city, the soldiers didn't feel a little nervous...... Is this the fortieth or forty-first? They're used to it.

When the Qin army rushed to the place under the city, it was customary for the defenders of the city to smash people with stones...... Under the continuous high-intensity attack of the Qin army, the Qi army's defensive equipment was staggeringly depleted, and what box crossbows and carts were either smashed to pieces, or they were used to collapse, so that the most powerful thing is the stone on the city wall.

However, although the method is a little dirty, it can still be stoned to death.

In the dense exchange of arrows and stones on both sides, the ladder car of the Qin army came up again...... Although more than 300 ladder cars were destroyed, the Qin army easily pushed out more than 100 brand new ones, and the difference in strength between the two sides was undoubtedly revealed in detail.

When the soldiers of the Qin army began to climb the ladder to attack the city, the Qin army under the city suddenly erected hundreds of brass pipes and shot some large black round balls into the city.

Each of those round balls was the size of a melon, and as soon as they fell to the city, they fell to the top of the city with a 'poof' sound, and broke into pieces, and the officers and soldiers of Qi were stunned, and the city suddenly smoked everywhere, and the pungent smell also spread!

Chen Liefeng, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw that a cloud of smoke quickly formed above the city, and he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and shouted: "Quick! Wipes! Water! ”

Needless to say, the officers and soldiers who had grown up rapidly in the war also knew what to do, and they hurried over, fished out a towel from the copper jar containing clean water, and covered it with their mouths.

Pure white smoke poured above the city walls, and a disgusting smell permeated the city. As it turned out, the local method worked very well, and after covering my mouth with a wet towel, my breathing was really smooth.

But the poisonous dragon bullets launched by the Qin army are not only harmful to breathing, but also make people's eyes sting, tears, and they can't recover for a few hours. The Qi soldiers who didn't care about their heads and tails really fell into the attack, screaming and covering their eyes, or rolling on the ground, or plunging into the water tank, trying to wash their eyes.

Even if there were some soldiers who were not recruited because of the direction of the wind, the city was already in disarray, and it was impossible to organize an effective defense.

And the equipment that the Qin army is equipped with and is nicknamed the 'pig's head' plays a vital role at this moment. This thing has been upgraded to the third generation, and it is a filtering gas mask filled with activated charcoal and a filtering gas mask made of goggles made of colorless glass called 'glass', which is quite perfectly constructed.

The Qin soldiers, who wore the 'pig's head mask', saw that the Qi army was in chaos, and they were immediately excited, and took advantage of the situation to kill the head of the city, taking advantage of his illness to kill him!

The Qi army could only dance and swipe their weapons wildly, trying to block the enemy from getting close, but the noisy battlefield made people no different from the deaf. How can a deaf and blind man compete with the wolf-like Qin army?

The battle turned one-sided, and the Qin army quickly killed all the enemies at the head of the city, completely occupying the head of the city for the first time.

Chen Liefeng looked at the occupied city with tears in his eyes, a faint white smoke drifted in the wind, he only felt dizzy, tears flowed down, and his eyes couldn't see anything clearly. Fortunately, he was far away, and it was windy, and the smoke soon disappeared.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, but he felt like pins and needles, and the pain was unbearable. I barely opened it, and my eyes were blurry, and I couldn't see the distance at all.

How can this still be warn? It's just for people to cut down the stakes!

However, there must be no retreat! He knew very well that if he lost the Tiger Prison alive, he would definitely die without a place to be buried, and he would have to be connected to the Nine Clans. It's better to die on the battlefield, once it's over, at least no one will do it to their own family.

"Reserves! Take back the walls! Chen Liefeng's eyes were red and swollen, like a mad tiger, and he roared hoarsely.

The attackers and defenders shifted positions in an instant, and the Qi army threw reserves into the city again and again, as if seeking death frantically impacted the front that the Qin army had just established, Shen Qing finally took the city head, how could he miss again? With the strength of breastfeeding, regardless of casualties, he resisted the opponent's attack. Under this kind of desperate fight, the two sides suffered extremely heavy damage, and I saw a reserve team rushing to the head of the city, drowning in the sea of swords and fire, and dying cleanly......

This battle was fought until the sun set, and the entire city wall was stained red with blood, and the two sides who had killed the red eyes were ready to fight at night.

At this moment, an earth-shattering loud bang sounded at the city gate, and it turned out that the Qin army had transported ** and completely blew up the door hole sealed by Qi State with city bricks.

Before the crackling of the rubble was finished, Qin Li rushed into the city with the Longxiang cavalry - in the face of the onslaught of the armored cavalry, the Qi infantry collapsed at the first touch, and finally could not hold their ground and retreated.
