Chapter 105: Extinguishing Qi 21

readx;

In this situation of being caught between the front and back, Tian Heng soon knew that if he wanted to get out of this predicament, the most important thing was to join up with the left-behind troops of the large battalion under his command. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, he didn't think of one thing, that is, he only thought of it now, obviously too late.

Because the officers and soldiers of Qi under his command could not shake the formation of Han Xin's army, which had already completed the formation assembly.

After the Qi army launched an offensive against the rear formation of Han Xin's army, Han Xin's army's defensive capability was as impregnable as a rock.

......

The current battlefield situation is not only unfavorable to Tian Heng, but also a challenge for Han Xin.

The troops of the two were like sandwich cakes, and they were caught between each other.

And in terms of numbers, the number of troops under Han Xin's command is also relatively small.

However, in terms of the combat effectiveness of both sides, the Qi army quickly realized, or saw one thing again, that is, the rabble was completely vulnerable in the eyes of the elite troops.

The remaining troops of the Qi army, which was located in the southwest area of Han Xin's army, finally launched a formation offensive against Han Xin's army after about half an hour.

Han Xin, who was in the center of the formation, couldn't help but show a sneer when he saw the neatness of the array of Qi troops.

Because the formation of these Qi troops, although it is not a mess, but from some aspects, these troops are obviously not a long-trained army.

Because no one is going to use a somewhat messy soldier and horse that is difficult to exert a synergistic effect to attack the battle formation under his command.

However, Han Xin just sneered, he didn't take this battle lightly.

At a distance of about 300 meters between the two sides, before the Qin army's crossbowmen launched a rain of arrows at the Qi army, the Qi army instead fired at Han Xin's army at this distance.

Not to mention the equipment gap between the two sides, even the Qin army troops with the same equipment and similar training would not choose to fire a salvo at this distance.

Except for a small number of strong crossbowmen, the effectiveness of other infantry crossbowmen at this distance is quite poor.

There is an idiom called the end of the strong crossbow, and the meaning of this idiom is often common to long-range shooting weapons.

(The end of the strong crossbow is also "the extreme of the strong crossbow, the arrow cannot pierce Lu Minye", crossbow: the bow of the ancient arrow. The arrows of the crossbow have reached the end of their range. The metaphor is that the great power has weakened and is not of much use. From the Western Han Dynasty Sima Qian's "Historical Records: Han Anguo's Biography": "The crossbow is extremely strong, and the arrow cannot wear Lu Mian." "Hanshu Han Anguo Biography": "And the ministers heard it, at the end of the wind, the force could not raise the feathers; ”)

At this distance, although the arrows fired by most of the crossbowmen of the Qi army were quite dense, they were very few that could really pose a threat to the Qin officers and soldiers, and even kill a small number of officers and soldiers.

It can even be said that many of these arrows could not be shot into the Qin army's battle array, and most of them fell on the open space south of the Qin army's battle array.

Faced with this situation, many of the Qin army's heavy infantry and even light infantry were stunned, because they were even preparing to fight an interception operation with considerable casualties.

And in this situation, they have to think, is the Qi army really an army?

Han Xin was naturally able to see this situation in his eyes, he groaned, and ordered the troops to maintain the current formation as much as possible on the premise that the casualties were not large.

This is quite easy for the Qin officers and soldiers of the Lantian battalion, that is, most of them were trained by Han Xin.

And Han Xin did this, mainly planning to consume a large number of arrows of the Qi army, and then force the Qi army to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

As for the reserve of arrows in his formation, Han Xin believes that nearly 300,000 arrows can still hold out until the end of this operation.

The Qin crossbowmen did not carry too many arrows themselves, and a crossbowman often wore only two quivers, while the archers carried one.

Excluding their own arrowheads, the number of 300,000 arrowheads was the corresponding number of arrows that Han Xin had gathered on the baggage wagons before this embarkation.

It can be said that these arrows are combined with the nearly 100,000 arrows carried by the crossbowmen troops, and the number of these arrows is still enough for him to consume the Qi officers and soldiers to death.

As for the number of arrows in the hands of the Qi officers and soldiers, Han Xin did not know, but Han Xin believed that as long as the other party dared to shoot at the effective range of the crossbowmen under his command, then the Qi army would be completely humiliated.

In some of Zhang Jiashi's descriptions of ideas, there is a term called effective range.

Originally, this effective range was the distance at which the weapon could achieve the expected accuracy and power requirements when firing at a predetermined target. The effective range of each weapon depends on its performance and the type of target, "expected accuracy and power requirements", in other words, "hit what you want to hit", "kill what you want to kill". The first thing to ensure in terms of effective range is accuracy, and the so-called "beyond range" means that there is no certainty of hitting, but the lethality is still more than enough. Effective range is a reference only, because the "expected accuracy and power requirements" are artificially given criteria and are always different from the actual environment of the battlefield.

However, in Zhang Jiashi's description, the effective range of bows and crossbows and some long-range strike equipment is mainly the distance that can effectively damage the enemy.

After all, the current bow and crossbow, although in terms of accuracy, Zhang Jiashi has made some remedial measures, but for long-range strikes, the most important thing is to rely on covering strikes to achieve a relatively effective killing probability.

Therefore, in Zhang Jiashi's mind, if the relatively effective hit rate is calculated, the effective range can be counted, which is more nonsense.

Han Xin still agrees with Zhang Jiashi's description of the effective range. But what he didn't know was that the definition of the real effective range was much stricter, and Zhang Jiashi's description was more of a simplified version.

Of course, if it is about the effective range between the Qi army and the Qin army, most of the crossbowmen of the Qi army should wash and sleep.

After all, the bow and crossbow in their hands still have a considerable gap in strike distance compared to the Qin army's standard equipment.

For example, most of the archers in the Qi army did not use well-made bows and arrows, and many of them were relatively rough and made.

The striking distance of this kind of bow and arrow is relatively short, and in the effective range, the mainstream standard longbow of the archers under Zhang Jiashi is much more lethal than these rough bows and arrows.

Of course, Qi Jun's more meaningless "wave shot" does not seem to be able to end in a while.

Han Xin knew that the Qi officers and soldiers seemed to be intending to use this method to force him to launch an offensive against these Qi troops, however, Han Xin did not think that this technique would cost him anything.

He was waiting, waiting for the opportunity for Qi Jun to lose his breath.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

The Qi officers and soldiers under Tian Heng's command were now divided into two by Han Xin's battle formation.

For Tian Heng, he is very anxious.

Because he knew that if he couldn't break through Han Xin's blockade, he would inevitably pay a very heavy price.

Because of his north, To's army was fighting against the officers and soldiers under his command who still remained on the north side of the wall.

In fact, he saw very clearly that the battle in this place was not so much a confrontation as it had almost evolved into a unilateral massacre of his troops by Qin officers and soldiers.

Because whether it was the heavy infantry under his command that was rarely armed, or the ordinary light infantry like cannon fodder, they could not resist the small battle formations of the Qin army advancing layer by layer in front of them.

What's worse is that these Qin officers and soldiers themselves are relatively short of heavy infantry, and the other party basically uses a small number of heavy infantry as surprise arrows, and then these heavy infantry cover a large number of light infantry and disperse the corresponding formation of the troops under his command.

......

The number of heavy infantry under Du Cong's command is indeed relatively rare, but strictly speaking, these heavy infantry are not members of the Marine Corps under Du Cong's command, but one of the small number of Liaoning county soldiers who have been transferred.

After all, Chung To is the commander of the Marine Corps, and the composition of the Marine Corps, because of Zhang Jiashi's assumption, can almost be regarded as an all-light army.

This also caused these officers and soldiers to pay a considerable price in casualties during defensive operations.

Because the defense of these light infantry is, in many ways, even inferior to some second-line troops from non-battlefield adjacent areas.

After all, the armor of these light infantry is mainly relatively light cowhide armor.

Zhang Jiashi did not think about installing the kind of composite paper armor of the special forces on the Marine Corps, but because of the cumbersome production, high cost, and serious lack of production time, Zhang Jiashi finally had to postpone this idea.

However, in a sense, the Marines under Chung To's command paid a considerable price in the battle, and Zhang Jiashi seems to have to bear some responsibility.

However, compared with the not very good defensive power, the attack power and combat speed of the Marine Corps are also not comparable to ordinary infantry units.

The officers and men of the Marine Corps armed with a medium-handled glaive knife were able to easily take down a few Qi officers and soldiers in close combat.

They held the Glaive with a medium handle in both hands, and they could even easily split a non-armor-piercing Qi infantry company with weapons.

After all, this medium-handled glaive knife can become one of the mainstream standard weapons of the Great Qin Empire, and Zhang Jiashi believes that its combat efficiency is quite high, and its performance on the battlefield is enough to verify this.

Although there are still many Qi officers and soldiers who use long weapons in the Qi army, these people are more unable to give full play to the advantages of longer weapons in this relatively chaotic situation.

......

The troops under the command of Du Cong continued to break through the Qi army formations assembled in the area between the first line of defense and the second line of defense.

But these officers and soldiers also paid a heavy price in casualties. It was the casualties, many of which were not brought about by the attacks of the Qi officers and soldiers in the process, but above the first barrier, the crossbowmen of the Qi army actually fired indiscriminately.

A small number of long-range equipment that has not yet been destroyed, and the means of destruction that are fired, such as the stones thrown by trebuchets and the crossbows of bed crossbows, even make the casualties of Qi officers and soldiers in the battle even worse.

After all, compared with the Qin army, which was facing the first line of defense in the south, the officers and soldiers of Qi had their backs to the south, and many times they could not know the situation behind their own backs.

Often a stone flew over, and many Qin officers and soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and ran directly to other places, or desperately rushed to the Qi army formation not far from them, pulling a few cushions.

In this case, once these Qi crossbowmen or officers and soldiers operating equipment from the first line of defense cover support mistakenly injure their own people, these Qi officers and soldiers will often die blindly.

Because they're not the kind of monsters with eyes on their backs.

In a sense, the support of the Qi army's crossbowmen in the rear did effectively block the attack posture of the officers and soldiers under Du Cong's command. But if someone makes a battlefield statistic at this time, it is that the number of Qi officers and soldiers who died at the hands of "their own people" is even greater.

Because many of these deaths at the hands of "their own people" were arrows that penetrated the bodies of these officers and soldiers diagonally from behind.

It is not surprising that many Qi officers and soldiers died blindly because of this situation.

There are many Qi officers and soldiers who scolded their mothers when they were dying, but this kind of complaint, even the fact that someone cursed the bastard behind in their hearts, did not help at all.

......

The assault troops under the command of Chung To, in this battle situation, also paid a great price for casualties, and the situation of risking the auxiliary personnel to carry the wounded back in front made Chung To, who was watching the situation on the second defensive barrier, very heartbroken.

He didn't know how many of his robes would leave this world in this battle, but he knew better that it was a situation that he had to learn to face, learn to be calm and learn to be silent.

He would not complain anything to Zhang Jiashi about the heavy casualties of the officers and soldiers under his command, and he would not change his mind about the heavy casualties of the officers and soldiers under his command.

As for Qin Min, now this friend who has stepped into the abyss deeply, can't extricate himself, maybe can't extricate himself, Du Cong can only shake his head and sigh.

Because he knew one thing very well, that is, Qin Min's life seemed to be coming to an end.

Perhaps, after the Great Qin Empire quelled the civil strife, it had already been gradually hollowed out, and now Qin Min, who was in name only, was the result he had to face in the end, the moment that came.

He didn't expect that he would fight side by side with Han Xin again at this time. He couldn't think of what Han Xin had thoughts about Qin Min at this time.

He only knew one thing, that is, Han Xin's severance of relations with Qin Min was a far-sighted idea...... If you think it's very good-looking!, then please recommend the URL of this site to your friends to watch it together!
