The Qin army is also very prepared for today's battle, and the warriors accompanying the army have already prepared the materials for the attack last night. www.biquge.info The reason why the Qin army was able to win many times in foreign wars was not because it was as simple as relying on strength to win, but because it was through continuous learning and improvement, learning war through war, and constantly improving itself in practice, and finally becoming the king of war.

The utilitarianism advocated by the Legalists, including pragmatism that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, made the Qin troops, from generals to ordinary soldiers, more interested in the ratio of input to output than merchants. Absolutely will not easily dispatch troops for the sake of so-called face, or other grievances. It will not cost a soldier's life in a place that he knows is a dead end.

The failure of yesterday's attack has made everyone see clearly, the trap in front of them, if you don't fill the trap in front of you, you can't continue the attack, so those defeated soldiers who came back, without the generals to reprimand, have already thought of a plan for a counteroffensive. The samurai who took the lead in the charge, each holding a wooden plank in their arms, I don't know if it was dismantled from the surrounding houses, or from the trees cut down from the surrounding mountains, but in any case, the effect of the actions of these tens of thousands of people is naturally not comparable to one or two people.

Meng said that leading the generals to appear before the big array, only the victorious people are qualified to plan the pattern after the war, once Chen Zhuang is made big in Bashu, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to control this person. As for the conditions given by Chen Zhuang, Meng said that after a night of deep thought, he found that there were still many debatable points in them.

The most fatal point is that once Chen Zhuang closes the gate of Chengdu, the Qin army will be wiped out in a moment, and the initiative of the entire battlefield will not be in his own hands.

"Archer prepare!" Meng said that the Qin army had obtained enough feather arrows last night, which could fully support today's siege plan. The layout of the Qin army's large array is very orderly, and the plain of Chengdu has also created conditions for the development of all arms.

The two wings are the cavalry of the Qin army, although most of these cavalry are from Jiangyou, but after some planning last night, they even pulled and coaxed, and the military spirit of these people was calmed down again. Last night, I got so many feather arrows, which was not a small victory, and the guards of Jiangyou became the little followers of the Qin army after a meal and a feast, and they were determined to serve the Qin army.

came out to fight, just to eat and drink, now that the Qin army is winning one after another, the future is very bright, and choosing to betray the Qin army at this time is really not a smart choice. The crossbowmen of the Qin army, as usual, waited in formation in front of the large camp, and the crossbowmen with long-range striking ability were closely protected, and when the army did not charge, these people were arranged in front of the formation.

The enemy's living force from a distance, once the battle is fought, the crossbowmen will quickly retreat, opening the way for the infantry behind to charge. The steps of the attack, however, are simple, the crossbowmen launch the first wave of the attack, making full use of the advantages of the crossbow, long-range, non-contact, to destroy the enemy before he appears in the position. The best defense is to never let the enemy get close to you!

In order to gain continuous striking power, the crossbowmen would stand in several rows, and when the first group had finished shooting, they would retreat, and the second group would come forward to shoot, while the first group would retreat to the last and prepare for the next fire. An analogy can take care of the continuous strike force.

The bows and crossbows of the Qin State have a long range and high accuracy, and they are well-known among other countries, and the bows and arrows of the Qin State are very different from those made by the handicraft workshops of the same era.

The Qin crossbow is made by the same state superintendent, the bow stem is flat and round, generally 130~145 cm long, made of mulberry wood, but it is not a simple single bow. The bow trunk is tied with a dense strip of leather. In this way, it not only enhances the structural strength of the bow stem, but also has excellent toughness and strong elasticity of the leather strip, which can accumulate more energy.

The wooden arm of the Qin crossbow is generally 60~75 cm long and 4~5 cm wide. There is a closure at the front end of the wooden arm. The upper lip is short and the lower lip is long, just in place to embed the bow. Then tie with a strip of leather. Tie it back to the ears on both sides of the wooden arm. In this way, the bow and arm are tightly knit. The reaction force and vibration of the bow and the arrow cannot be loosened. The crossbow arm has a concave arrow path, which can hold the arrow and increase the surface contact area with the arrow, increasing the firing resistance.

However, the arrow path can effectively fix the position of the arrow cluster on the crossbow arm, improve the accuracy, and prevent the firing failure caused by the venting string. So a little bit of added resistance doesn't matter. Moreover, the arrow path is generally finely polished, which appears unusually smooth, and it is also painted and waxed to reduce the friction between the arrow and the arrow path when firing.

The rear of the crossbow arm is equipped with a launch-sighting device, which is a set of components that are precision cast in bronze. It is composed of a lookout mountain, a hanging knife, and a cow. Lookout is an aiming device. Cows are the most elaborate objects of design. The tooth is connected to the hanging knife, but does not directly bear the force, but is pivoted by the ox. When winding, the crossbowman pulls the string against the Wangshan, the Wangshan moves back, and the ox resets after the teeth are in position.

The ox bears the tooth force on the top, and the hanging knife is against the knife, and the bow and crossbow enter the state of preparation. If the crossbow is fired, the process is exactly the opposite of winding. The crossbow wrenched the hanging knife, and the ox sank even more as soon as it was loosened. The teeth had no support, and the force sank, and the bowstring flew away with arrows. This sophisticated design greatly improves the reliability of projection, greatly reduces the false firing rate, and reduces the vibration during firing, which can greatly improve the shooting hit rate.

Modular production, including the use of assembly lines, will be able to obtain a steady stream of bows and crossbows of the Qin State, and at the same time, the modular production has also made the bows and crossbows of the Qin State greatly improve the survivability on the battlefield. Broken bows and crossbows can be removed and used on other crossbows, which greatly reduces the cost of weapon maintenance and improves the combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

The feathered arrows in the sky were like flying locusts, so that nearly half of the enemy, before they could rush closer, would fall on the way to charge. The ensuing cavalry, relying on the rapid maneuver of the horses, stepped forward to continue to impact the opponent's military formation, after several rounds of long-range strikes, the opponent's sharpness at this time, how much has been greatly hit, plus people are unable to compete with horses, the fast running cavalry, will inevitably be the original, about to loose military and political forces, the impact of scattered.

At the time of the battle, once the military formation was destroyed, the only thing left might be to wait for death!

The next thing is very simple, the infantry with long weapons in their hands began to step forward to destroy the remnants of the enemy, and at the same time consolidate and occupy the position.

The difference today is that in front of the archers, there are countless samurai armed with short swords, but in the hands of these people there are also many things, not only the wooden planks mentioned earlier, but also the dirt that some people have wrapped in their own clothes.

At the beginning of the war, Meng Shuo specially ordered all the warriors in the army to wrap a bag of soil in their own clothes, and if there was no one at that time, military law would be engaged. (To be continued.) )
