Qin Lei is no stranger to the Wuhan Iron and Steel Car Formation, he has seen this thing in the first battle with the Qi army, and he has captured a batch intact. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSince it is the main means of the Qi army to resist the Great Qin cavalry in the field, of course, it is necessary to study it carefully.

He discovered that it was a theoretical predator of cavalry...... As long as the Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicle is filled with earth and stones, and then connected to each other and supported vertically and horizontally, even if the tank appears thousands of years later, it will not be able to shake this solid position. Coupled with the combination of long and short attacks of the crossbow iron spear, the shooting is more accurate than the cavalry, and the stabbing is more stable than the cavalry.

But the sages have a cloud: 'Stick to fight tigers, chickens and insects, the emperor and the queen mother are in charge', this 'Wuhan Iron and Steel Car Formation' has the biggest weakness that cannot be moved after being arranged, so Shi Meng's 'special battalion' is its natural nemesis...... Although the trebuchet has poor accuracy, it is no problem to hit a huge fixed target.

Shi Meng brought all the belongings this time, forty three-tip guns, twenty five-tip guns, and ten of the strongest seven-tip guns...... 'pin' is a cannon rod, if there is only one cannon rod, it is a single-tip cannon. Three are three-tip cannons, and five are called five-tip cannons. The composite cannon shaft is more elastic and can throw the cannon farther, so the larger the number of pins, the longer the range.

The catapult of the time required many people to pull the cable and use the principle of lever to project, which had many disadvantages, such as the need for a large number of personnel, a large field, and more lethally, the accuracy of shooting could not be guaranteed at all...... After all, it is impossible to make every soldier's strength consistent.

Fortunately, Qin Lei was not overwhelmed by this, and he improved the trebuchet to a 'counterweight', and most of the pulling force was replaced by heavy objects. Soldiers can use the noose to lift the heavy object first, and after loading the cannonball, as long as the weight is released, the cannon can be thrown, this method not only greatly reduces the operator and the space required, but also greatly improves the accuracy of the throw. More advancedly, the range can also be controlled by adjusting the weight of the weight, which cannot be done by human pulling.

Shi Meng stood on the lookout car in the rear, looked at the huge artillery position in front of him with satisfaction, and issued the first order in a deep voice: "Load solid bullets." ”

The cannon commanders instructed the gunners to place the watermelon-sized stones in the 'leather nests' made of pliable cowhide, which were wrapped in the cannons and hung on the cannon rods by two sets of hemp ropes...... One set of hemp rope is fastened to the cannon pole and cannot be separated, while the other set is looped to the cannon rod with an iron hoop. When unfired, the cannon is horizontal on the ground, but has a slightly raised arc at the end, so the hoop does not detach from the cannon until the cannon is thrown. The hoop must be at a height perpendicular to the ground before the hoop disengages, opening the pit and throwing the cannon.

This design not only ensures the safety of the projectile, but also makes the impact point of each bullet be about the same, which is the premise of accurate shooting.

When all the cannons were ready, Shi Meng nodded slightly, and the herald on the side raised the red flag.

A sharp brass whistle sounded on the battlefield, and the two gunners pressed their hands to an iron box on the platform, holding their breath and concentrating on preparation. At the same time as the second whistle sounded, they pushed forward sharply, and the iron box containing twenty large iron bricks weighing a total of 200 catties fell to the ground in response...... The huge potential energy was amplified by the leverage, and the cannon rod was violently pulled up, and the force was so strong that the heavy cannon cart groaned.

When the cannon reached its highest point, the ring immediately detached, the leather bag opened, and the cannon stone whistled out, and in a blink of an eye, it passed over the head of your own camp and smashed in the direction of the enemy formation.

Although they wanted to know what their results were, no one dared to look up, so the two gunners hurriedly took out eighteen iron bricks from the box, and then lifted the much lighter box back to the fort, and looked up at the gunner, waiting for his next instructions.

Artillery rained down on the Wuhan Iron and Steel Array...... In front, the ground smashed out large and small craters, which made Qi Jun's little face pale and pale. Swallowing and foaming, Chen Liefeng said angrily: "The artillery truck fought back with all its might!" Send the vanguard battalion forward again and force the enemy's artillery array to retreat! After the general went down to give the order, Chen Junmen muttered in a somewhat self-comforting whisper: "It doesn't matter, there is still some distance." ”

We already know that the admiral has been unlucky enough to plug his teeth when he drinks cold water recently, and this time is no exception......

“***！” Putting down the clairvoyant mirror, Shi Meng scolded angrily: "It's at least five zhang shorter!" As he spoke, he used a simple trigonometric function to calculate, and said in a deep voice: "Add another piece." "The reason why Qin Lei threw this guy who was five big and three thick, who looked like a fierce general in both horizontal and vertical directions, into the artillery barracks was because he wanted him to stay away from danger on the one hand, and more importantly, because this guy can do arithmetic and can figure out that 'Pythagorean' is not 'groin'.

The herald's red flag waved a few times, and the commanders of the guns gave a loud order: "Twenty-one! The two gunners hurriedly moved another nineteen iron bricks into the box.

Put! The whistle is short and resolute!

Another 'whoosh' sounded, and 100 boulder bullets once again swept over the heads of the Chinese army and the front army...... fell impartially in front of the Qi army, killed more than a dozen of them on the spot, and smashed two bed crossbows.

Seeing his subordinates being smashed to the ground, Chen Liefeng's old face suddenly became like a pig's liver, which is too faceless! Immediately roared in annoyance: "Go up to two more battalions, no matter what, you have to take down the Qin army's artillery array!" "One battalion of the Qi army is two thousand people, and six battalions form a town, that is, twelve thousand people. Although he was inexplicably siphoned off half of his troops by the marshal, there were still 70,000 border guards in six towns.

It's not that he doesn't want to invest more troops, it's just that 6,000 people is already the limit of the battlefield's capacity, and more will be too much.

The chariot formation opened three passages and placed the 6,000 infantry troops in front of the formation. The Qi army only formed a small formation and formed a strict hook-shaped infantry formation...... The front of the formation is a phalanx, and the two wings are bent backward into a hook shape to protect the security of the flanks and prevent the enemy from attacking the rear command of the golden drum in a roundabout way. With sword, shield, and pikemen in the middle of the formation, followed by crossbowmen, it was a wise choice for infantry against cavalry, and was always used by the Qi army when fighting the Qin state.

However, the Qin State did not directly send cavalry to attack as usual, but blindly harassed with crossbows from a distance...... Of course, 'harassment' is Chen Junmen's view. According to common sense, in a head-to-head contest between two well-trained and tenacious regular armies, bows and arrows will never solve the problem, and the main purpose is to disrupt the enemy's formation and then engage in hand-to-hand combat.

It's just that Qin Lei, who came from that era, had an unusual love for long-range firepower, and he persistently pursued powerful firepower preparation before engaging the enemy...... All 5,000 crossbows were moved to the front, and 10,000 strong crossbows and 10,000 hard bows were paired. What, you say you can't put it away? Ever heard of 'Sector Three-Stage Multi-Angle Shooting'?

Haven't heard of it? That's right, because this is the innovation of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng's 5,000 years of valuable experience, and has more than eighty percent of the intellectual property rights.

To explain it simply, everyone is divided into three teams, forming an arc in front of the enemy formation, kneeling in the front with a repeater, standing in the middle with a hard crossbow, and riding a horse at the back with an arrow. Repeaters and hard crossbows have armor-piercing ability, so they shoot with precision in flat fire; Although the bow and arrow are less powerful, they are fast in speed, and they take on the task of harassing Chen Junmen in their hearts, specializing in small projectiles.

Except for Shi Meng's special battalion to open a large cannon, everyone in the Qin army can fire 10,000 arrows at the same time, every time they shoot flat and throw at a high frequency......

Chen Liefeng's eyes were about to fall, and he muttered with his mouth wide open: "What kind of opponent did I meet......" In the short distance of 200 zhang from his own chariot formation to the front of the Qin army's formation, the enemy army actually shot 100,000 arrows, you know, the entire 150,000 troops of the Nanda Battalion only have 500,000 arrows.

A ridiculous thought came to me: 'They were not killed by arrows, they were all stoned to death by money......

The three battalions attacking were all veterans with extraordinary courage and endurance. But in the rain of arrows, seeing the robe fall like a wheat harvest, they completely lost everything they were proud of, and only shameful fear remained. I don't know who took the lead, and before he had completed three-quarters of the way, he broke up with a crawl.

"My lord, do you want to supervise the ...... of the team," the general said with a pale face. He has been in the army for more than ten years, and he has never seen such a scene.

Sweat soaked Chen Liefeng's gray hair, and strands clinged to his scalp, looking embarrassed and tired. Shaking his head weakly, he hissed: "It is enough to make the old man proud of himself if he can hold on until Sicheng loses his combat strength and retreats...... "In the absence of a strong warlord, it is a matter of course that two percent will be defeated after being injured.

"Then we're going to organize another offensive!" The general said indignantly: "I don't believe they still have 100,000 arrows!" ”

"There will be no anger in the army." After a short period of frustration, Chen Junmen regained his original bearing, and glanced at his own car formation, which had been smashed by the Qin army's cannon...... After positioning himself with cheap solid bullets, Shi Meng replaced them with higher-cost shotshots, flowering bombs, and oil bombs...... There is only one goal, to kill and wound as many infantry as possible.

Looking at their own catapults again, a dozen or so strong sergeants pulled once before they could be projected, and they landed on their own heads, but fortunately, they were all solid bullets, not as hurtful as the Qin army. I tried two more times, but before I could find the right position, I was named by the Qin army's artillery, and the sergeants gathered around the catapult were immediately killed, and they all abandoned their posts and fled away with their heads in their arms.

Seeing this scene, even the staff general knew that his side was completely suppressed, and it was impossible to turn the tables without blood, so he looked at Chen Junmen with a nervous expression: "Give the order, Junmen!" ”

After thinking for a long time, Chen Liefeng said slowly: "How many brothers have we killed in battle? ”

The general's cheeks trembled and said: "From the beginning of the war to the present, I'm afraid there are four thousand...... They are all the elite of our border guards, Junmen! ”

"Almost." Chen Liefeng muttered in a voice that no one could hear.

"What do you command?" The general didn't hear clearly, and hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing," Chen Liefeng said lightly: "Send three battalions from the Houliu Towns and let them charge again." He sneered and said, "The old man doesn't believe that they can have the capital to shoot all the time!" ”

The general thought that Chen Liefeng was simply trying to consume the arrows of the Qin army, and said in his heart: 'The heart of the adult is really ruthless...... so he hurriedly passed the order.

"It will not be until today that the prince understands what the prince means when he says that 'quantitative change will leap to qualitative change'." Yang Wenyu was convinced: "The last general is convinced." ”

Qin Lei still didn't have a smile on his face, and asked lightly, "Are our wings safe?" ”

"With the help of the Eagle Yang Army, there should be no problem." Yang Wenyu replied softly.

"How many arrows are there?" Seeing that the Qi army had organized another offensive, Qin Lei asked softly.

"There should be about 300,000 officers and soldiers." Shi Wei looked at the cart behind the formation and said softly: "The baggage team also has 200,000. ”

"Five hundred thousand." Qin Lei nodded, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Let go of the shooting, see if it is Lone's thick capital, or the strong endurance of the Qi people!" He felt that if Shi Meng attacked for a while, the Qi army's chariot formation would collapse.

This time, the Qi army brought more shields and even door panels and car panels, blocking themselves as tightly as possible, and sure enough, the casualties were reduced.

"Change the rocket!" Qin Lei said without hesitation.

The baggage soldiers replaced the last group of archers with rockets, and raised their torches aloft for the archers to light their arrows and shoot them.

I don't know if it's the reason for 'declining again', or if they were frightened, the Qi army that charged this time was quite cowardly, when the crackling rockets shot down and lit some door shields, they immediately panicked, and the formation was scattered, and the protection was naturally greatly reduced, and there were many casualties in a hurry.

The sudden increase in casualties made the Qi army even more confused, and the situation deteriorated further, and before they could reach the general level, they scattered in a hurry and fled into the formation.

"Junmen, do you want to supervise the team?" The general did not forget to kill his own people.

"Ball!" Glancing at him contemptuously, Chen Liefeng said coldly: "Fang Cai had not stopped our people from retreating, how could they stop the garrison now?" Do you want to appreciate the mutiny? ”

"The last general will not dare." The general hastened to apologize.

Chen Liefeng snorted lightly, ignored him, and looked at the car formation with heavy casualties, he knew that the collapse was just around the corner. Raising his head, he looked at the roaring flag of the black tiger on the opposite side unwillingly, gritted his teeth and said, "The coming day is long!" ”

After speaking, he slowly ordered: "Order the north gate of the three towns to line up......"

"Junmen, are we going to retreat?" After all, the Qi army has been the victor for twenty years, and it is several times that of the other party, and the general is naturally unwilling: "The last general is willing to lead the troops to death!" Please give me permission! ”

"Fart!" Chen Liefeng said impatiently: "This is a strategic arrangement, go and give the order!" ”

Seeing that his adults had made up their minds, the general had no choice but to reluctantly get up and angrily arrange the retreat.

A quarter of an hour later, the Qi army's defensive line finally collapsed completely, and although the position was intact, the soldiers who defended the position died and fled, and they no longer had the intention of fighting.

"Stop the shelling!" Qin Lei's expression finally relaxed, and he said calmly: "Drumming." ”

Shi Meng, who got the order, also breathed a sigh of relief, his special ammunition was about to bottom out, and if he fired three or five more times, he could only remain a stone egg.

The war drums of the attack sounded, and the Qin army covered the entire line, completely dismembering the car formation that was smashed by the artillery soldiers...... Without soldiers armed with bows, arrows and spears, no matter how strong the formation is, it is just an ornament.

The three Wugang chariot formations were broken, and there was no obstacle in front of the Great Qin cavalry, and in the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, the Jingshan Iron Cavalry killed the past with an indomitable move.

The Qi army could no longer resist the cavalry impact of the Qin army, and after a few weak and weak resistances, they withdrew from the camp like a tide, only hating their parents for missing two legs......

Nanda Camp is completely captured!

Finally, taking a look at the promise that had been planted with the Black Tiger flag, Chen Liefeng said with a smile on his face: "Be arrogant, see who can have the last laugh!" ”
