The prelude to the siege, the Black Flag Army inherited the tactics of the Qin army, and the tactics of the Qin army during the unification of the Six Kingdoms were very terrifying. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The siege tactics of the Qin army require a lot of logistical guarantees, and the first thing to challenge and test is the ability to make equipment with the military craftsmen, from the rushing cars, nest cars, and ladders used to rush the city, to the soldiers' spears, swords, and knives.

In a certain respect, the army of the Han Dynasty also inherited the traditions of the pre-Qin period, such as the 20-level military merit, and the treatment of non-commissioned officers within the army. In fact, it was precisely because of this aspect of inheritance that the original pre-Qin soldiers did not feel isolated, and they generally believed that they had changed the Han Dynasty, not the Han Department had changed themselves.

Perhaps because of the inheritance of the pre-Qin living habits, the Qin remnants did not feel that their lives had changed, and when their families were rich and happy, those soldiers who served in the army naturally did not have any negative emotions, and there were no problems such as the wavering of the military spirit.

There is a person who often says to himself: I have no special skills, and the reason why I can stand firm is because of my adaptability. Adapted to the lifestyle of this era, but also adapted to the cruelty of this era.

- He really doesn't have many merits, the only thing that is desirable is that there are no limitations, and he takes whatever method is needed.

……

Meng Zhao repeatedly studied the map and the information in his hand, and it took him a lot of effort to figure out the situation, and he also understood better why Lin Bin was so cruel to the aborigines of Liaodi, and strictly ordered the army to implement a policy of killing and unforgiving the aborigines who did not obey the rule. He has a lot of data on hand. Since the invasion of Liaodi, the population structure of Liaodi has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the number of people who have died directly or indirectly is conservatively estimated to be about 300,000.

No one will underestimate the figure of 300,000, if 300,000 corpses are gathered together, it will definitely be a big mountain. The blood and water left behind in the corpse mountain are definitely a big river when gathered!

Because the Dongyi people themselves do not have much culture, the arrival of a new group of people directly erases the traces of the aborigines' existence, and the change in population structure is not only annexation, but also assimilation of the small number of Dongyi people who have not died or migrated.

Of course, Meng Zhao didn't want to investigate how many people died, and he didn't think about what he wanted to do to erase the culture of the Dongyi people. Now I should be trying to guess what military plan Lin Bin is making.

"Chen Xi's cavalry is ......" A rough finger moved slowly, pointing to a short route, and finally stopped at the plain area (Heilongjiang Plain) on the map. It dawned on me: "I see! ”

Meng Zhao was shocked slightly, his face became bitter, he now understood that the Black Flag Army's strong pounce on the Sushen Royal City was just to attract the enemy, the more fierce the Black Flag Army attacked, the faster the Dongyi people from other places gathered, the only thing he didn't understand was why Lin Bin didn't say it directly. Instead, he chose to give the order to attack while concealing his true military intentions.

"There are spies in the army?" Meng Zhao shook his head as he spoke. He didn't believe his men would rebel at all, "That's ...... Worried that I won't fight the city after I learn about it? ”

Then...... The curtain of the military tent was opened, and the person who came respectfully said: "Commander, the crossbow soldiers are ready!" ”

Meng Zhao looked up at Ma Lin, "Wait!" ”

Ma Lin should "No! "I quit very consciously.

Just like Chen Hao spying on Lu Yan; Ma Lin was sent to monitor the edict. Lu Yan chose to reuse Chen Hao after knowing his identity; Meng Zhao didn't have any disgust after knowing Ma Lin's identity, but he didn't reuse Ma Lin and still let Ma Lin serve as a personal soldier.

Sometimes Meng Zhao himself felt a little inexplicable, and was surprised to find that Lin Bin's methods of doing things were different from everyone else. He had never seen anyone tell someone plainly, "I've sent someone to oversee you." ”

It stands to reason that being watched should be very disgusted and disgusted, but they are not disgusted. Including Meng Zhao himself, he found that the person sent to supervise was not arrogant or exceeded his scope of authority, except for recording the life and decision-making of the supervised, it did not seem to be monitoring at all, and many people instead regarded Lin Bin's supervision as a status symbol, because all the documents recorded would be preserved, Lin Bin said: "Face yourself, remind yourself, haven't you thought about making mistakes and worrying about anything?" Furthermore...... Is the record bad? At least when you get old and retire, you can still see what you have been doing all your life. ”

Famous through the ages? Like, right? At least they're being led to think in that direction.

Meng Zhao stood up, he glanced at the Heilongjiang Plain on the map, and said to himself: "Sound east and west? Wrong! It's time to strike the east from the west. Or not...... Attack and attack! ”

Out of the military tent, Meng Zhao climbed on the back of the horse in silence, he looked up at the sky, "The sky is cloudless, it's a good weather to kill people!" With a flick of the horse's whip, the horse under the seat 'hummed' a few times and moved the horse's hooves, and when the horse's head turned, a "Ha! The horses galloped.

The crossbowmen who had already formed a phalanx of infantry, heard the drums shouting in unison, "Enter!" Enter! Enter! The big-footed girl followed with a cry of "Enter!" "Take a step forward.

As the 20,000 soldiers marched forward in formation, the sound of footsteps was accompanied by the shaking of the ground, and ...... The Su Shen Wangcheng shouted, "The Han people are about to attack the city!" Shouting.

Meng Zhao rode his crotch war horse to a position about five hundred paces in front of the Sushen King City, and he looked back to see that the rear of the two hundred guards was densely packed with a small phalanx of five hundred people. Today is the day when the arrows rain on the city, according to the Qin army's siege tradition, before the white-knuckle battle, the ranged soldiers (crossbowmen) will always repeatedly fire arrows at the enemy city, relying on this way to defeat the morale of the enemy army defending the city.

The Black Flag Army was originally the Qin Army, and it was also the legion with the most long-range attack weapons among the five armies, among which the weapon with the longest range and the most terrifying formation of an arrow array should be the crossbow! The Qin army's crossbow is also called the siege crossbow, but the siege crossbow here is definitely not a very large one that requires more than a dozen people to operate, but a foot crossbow.

"Stop!"

Meng Zhao looked back at the city of Su Shen, and he smiled when he saw that the city was full of Su Shen soldiers.

The 20,000 crossbowmen occupy a wide range of positions, so it is impossible to release all the arrows at one time, and the so-called arrow array is actually to arrange the position where the crossbowmen stand, so as to achieve the most reasonable formation, so that the coverage of the arrows can form the best.

Amid the roar of the war drums, the crossbowmen retreated to both sides, and the sound of neat footsteps resounded through the battlefield again, and the infantry with halberd shields and contradictions marched forward in formation, and the five thousand soldiers arrived in a straight line when they arrived at the front, and stabbed the spears in their hands forward with a 'whoosh'.

On the walls of the Sushen Royal City, the Sushen King looked intently at the 'Han army' arrayed below, and he turned to a general in armor and asked, "How far can their crossbows shoot?" ”

The general in armor is from Wei's North Korea, called Yan Dan, this Yan Dan is definitely not the Prince Dan of Yan Kingdom who was destroyed by Li Xin, but just the same name. He also has crossbows in his army, which is a counterfeit of the war between Yan and Qin in the past, they call it Yan crossbow, and the range of Yan crossbow is not very far because it is a counterfeit, the farthest range is only two hundred and twenty steps (one step in the Han Dynasty is 1.3 meters), and the effective and accurate range is within one hundred steps.

"Qin ...... No! Among the Han army (Han State), the crossbow has a range of up to four hundred and fifty steps, and the Qin army (Black Flag Army) inherits the pre-Qin, and the range of the crossbow can reach up to two hundred and thirty steps...... Yan Dan knew that his answer was very vague, and added: "Han inherits Qin, and the Han crossbow can reach four hundred and fifty steps, Qin ...... Maybe that's how it should be. ”

He didn't know how far four hundred and fifty steps was, but he knew that if he couldn't attack the army outside the city that was standing in the arrow array, the soldiers on the city wall would definitely be shot to death. He thought, "I should remove all the soldiers from the walls!" "I'm afraid again" to be withdrawn...... What if the Han army suddenly attacked the city? ...... go out of the city to disperse the enemy army? ”

Of course, Yan Dan knew what he was thinking, and he resolutely suggested: "Don't attack or withdraw your troops, just let the soldiers hide behind the battlements." ”

He scolded secretly, "It's not your people who are dead!" However, he did not order the soldiers on the city wall to withdraw, but told his subordinates to defend the city wall himself.

In fact...... The current contradictions of the people of Su Shen have experienced in various countries during the Warring States Period......

During the conversation of the Dongyi people, the 20,000 crossbowmen of the Black Flag Army had already finished their formation, and they shouted "Lie down!" The soldiers didn't care what was on the ground, they all lay down on the ground, and with the help of the robe, they kicked the strings with their feet, and waited for the strings to be fixed by the hook and then "Rise!" He stood up and loaded his crossbow bolts.

Yan Dan saw the enemy soldiers below with arrows and crossbows, he looked at the cautious soldiers and Beiwo soldiers who were curiously watching on the wall, and then hurriedly walked to the horse road, and as soon as his hand was on the handle of the horse road, he heard a shocking shout in his ears, "Far Attack!! Shouting, he ran like a fledgle, and when he hid by the inner city wall, he couldn't help but look up at the sky, muttering to himself: "The soldiers on the city wall are dead!" ”

'Boom-boom-boom-boom-'

The rain of arrows was falling, and it caused a terrible howl......
