Chapter 102: Extinguishing Qi 18

readx;???? Du Chung wanted to reinforce the troops who were fighting fiercely on the city wall, but because the battle situation on the city wall could not be easily reversed by the reinforcements of these reinforcements, Du Chung finally had to concentrate his troops, and then retreat to the second barrier defense line a few hundred meters away to continue the battle.

This raid by Tian Heng's department was indeed a relatively perfect location for the first barrier's alarm system, so that this perfect raid could be achieved.

But when Du Cong had to lead the army to retreat to the second line of defense, and the troops on duty under Niu Fu of the first line of defense were almost completely wiped out, Tian Heng was a little at a loss.

According to him, this battle is best left alone.

But he knew that this kind of result alone would not be able to reverse the disadvantage on his side.

And if he wants to fundamentally change this unfavorable situation, for Tian Heng, the only way to do this is to completely defeat the army under Du Cong's command, and then go south to Jimo, recover Jimo with Xiang Yu's troops, and rely on the advantages of the Qidi Peninsula region to drag Qin Gou into a defensive battle again.

I have to say that Tian Heng can think of this, which is indeed quite good. And the other party can realize that he will accept it when he sees it, which also shows that Tian Heng is not the kind of person who is dizzy.

Tian Heng in the history books is also described in this way, otherwise the other party would not have returned to the land from the island after receiving Liu Bang's order, and finally realized the facts, and finally chose the path of suicide.

Of course, whether Tian Heng committed suicide voluntarily or not, Zhang Jiashi didn't know at all, because even if it was the corresponding record in the Qingyu Spirit Book, even if there was a problem, it was not something that could surprise Zhang Jiashi.

And after controlling the defense system of the first barrier, Tian Hengyi gritted his teeth and ordered his troops to attack the Qin troops of the second barrier.

He knew that as long as he fought hard and then used the remaining momentum of the victory of the sneak attack just now to continue fighting, maybe Tian Heng would be able to get an unexpected surprise for him.

......

If Zhang Jiashi knew Tian Heng's thoughts, maybe he would say a good word to Tian Heng and persuade him:

"King of Eastern Qi, is your idea too much taken for granted? You did win for a while, but even if you continue to fight, what can you still look at? Not to mention that the main force under Du Cong's command has not suffered heavy losses at all, and your equipment alone cannot be transported to the rear of the first barrier in a short time, what do you use as capital to attack the second line of defense?"

It's a pity that after Tian Heng found out about this problem, it was a little too late.

Because at this time, Du Cong had completely mobilized the main force of the Qin army, which was mainly located behind the second barrier, and Tian Heng was only able to move the ladder and some chariots and other equipment behind the first barrier through a few entrances and exits, and then launch an offensive, which was simply a death act that widened the gap between the equipment of the two sides.

In addition, after Tian Rong's successful raid on the first barrier, he paid a heavy death toll of nearly 6,000 people.

This has to be said to be a harbinger of failure in Tian Heng's raid.

After all, the Qi army's casualties were so large, and the Qin army's training strength and combat effectiveness, as well as the Qi army's own relatively weak combat ability, could be used as a comparative test.

And after Tian Heng left the corpses of nearly 3,000 people in the area outside the second line of defense, he finally realized this.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After a short break and the reorganization of the team, Tian Heng ordered his troops to launch an offensive against the second barrier.

And the generals of the Eastern Qi Kingdom under Tian Rong, although they were very helpless about this kind of order in their hearts, they also knew that since Tian Heng had already planned to do this, it was pointless for them to say anything more.

So, under the cover of the charioteers, under the command of their officers and men carrying ladders, they launched an attack on the second barrier overnight less than an hour later.

In contrast to the situation where the first barrier was quickly lost by the Qi army's surprise attack, between the first barrier and the second barrier, it was not a pitch-black earth in front of the first barrier, but a lot of materials and equipment that could not be taken away urgently were ordered to be burned by Du Cong.

That is to say, between the first line of defense and the second line of defense, the fire that had been lit by the burning materials and the barracks and warehouses that had been built.

The second line of defense has no more defensive equipment than the first, but it is no less than the first line of defense.

After seeing that the Eastern Qi army actually summoned up Yu Yong and continued to attack, Du Cong, who saw this situation on the city wall, naturally would not make a mistake again.

"When the enemy army reaches a distance of two hundred meters, all the crossbowmen and long-range equipment will give me a desperate blow to the opponent!!"

Du Cong roared this sentence, which made the officers around him stunned slightly, but after these officers came back to their senses, they quickly made a promise to Du Cong, and then returned to their own teams one after another, directing the troops to prepare for battle or make preparations.

At this time, Tian Heng was ordering some officers and soldiers to disassemble the undamaged defensive equipment of the Qin army, and then prepare to put these equipment into the operation of the second line of defense.

But what he didn't expect was that the counterattack of the Qin army on the second line of defense was much more fierce than the defenders of the first line of defense.

Nearly 2,000 people at the front approached about two hundred meters in front of the second barrier, and the Qin army's bed crossbows and heavy crossbowmen in the sky and above the second barrier projected their long-range strike power one after another.

Although many of them had a certain degree of defense, because the number of officers and soldiers who could get the equipment of the Qin army was too small, the more than 2,000 Eastern Qi troops were quickly killed and injured by the long-range projection power of the Qin army.

In less than a minute, except for a small number of Qi officers and soldiers who were lucky or saw the opportunity early, and lay on the ground pretending to be corpses and gambling on character, there were basically no Qi officers and soldiers who were able to rush to 50 meters in front of the second defensive barrier of the Qin army.

Many people were even hit at the same time by the crossbows shot by the bed crossbow and the crossbow shot by the strong crossbow, and even the bows and arrows shot by the longbowmen of the Qin army. This also illustrates, in a sense, the intensity of the Qin army's long-range strike force.

After Tian Heng received this information, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, because he didn't think that the officers and soldiers under his command would be so vulnerable, and Qin Gou, who had not been able to contact the second line of defense, would be killed by the other party so many people.

Tian Heng, who did not give up, did not order the Qi officers and soldiers of the second echelon to attack, but asked these officers and soldiers to wait for the disassembly of these equipment, and then after arranging them again in front of the battle line, they launched another attack.

Although Tian Heng's abacus played well, Tian Heng underestimated one point, that is, although there were some veterans among the officers and soldiers under his command, and even some talents who were quite proficient in machinery, these people were not too familiar with the structure of the Qin army's new equipment, and in terms of the disassembly of many parts, the disassembly method of these parts made them spend a lot of effort to figure it out.

As a result, the disassembly of these devices is quite unsatisfactory.

But in any case, after spending nearly two hours, that is, before the time was almost dawn, most of the equipment that had been dismantled from the first barrier was finally placed in front of the battlefield one after another.

And Tian Rongzheng wanted to give the order to attack, but he didn't expect one thing, that is, at such a distance, the elite crossbowmen under the Qin army could still be hit.

Excluding the maximum distance between the areas occupied by the two sides and the distance between the Qi army and the arrangement of the positions, these rearranged equipment were not yet 400 meters away from the Qin army's strong crossbowmen on the second line of defense.

Although the improved crossbows in the hands of these crossbowmen cannot directly improve the crossbow box style of the semi-automatic fire, after the corresponding component improvements, Zhang Jiashi is still able to replace some of the latest models of crossbows with parts, so that these crossbows can be changed to a fixed chute design for rear loading.

Although this design cannot effectively increase the rate of fire of the crossbow, compared to the Great Qin Empire and the first generation of mechanical design strong crossbows installed by Zhang Jiashi in the Liaodong Army, the fire rate of this strong crossbow is not much improved, but it can reduce the power consumption of the crossbowmen.

In a sense, this improvement may be dispensable, but in this case, this crossbow is used in a dense and relatively accurate way of firing that many Qi officers and soldiers, especially those who operate these captured equipment, cannot withstand.

From time to time in the sky, in the direction of these equipment, a ** ignited rocket was shot down, and these rockets hit these equipment, and they could not bring a certain damage effect to these equipment for a while and a half, but for the Qi officers and soldiers who operated these equipment, these rockets were a powerful source of damage that they could not effectively defend.

Many times, once a crossbow hits a Qi officer or soldier, this crossbow is often able to pierce the arrows through the bodies of these operating instruments and some relatively unlucky Qi officers and soldiers.

Many Qi officers and soldiers were not directly shot, but after being pierced by this crossbow, the wounds caused by this crossbow were not so easy to treat, and this wound could even increase the blood volume of the wounded.

Therefore, many Qi officers and soldiers died of excessive blood loss before he was sent back to the camp for treatment.

And the operators of these instruments, under the strong crossbow fire that lasted for nearly twenty minutes, few people were able to continue to operate the instruments around them safely.

Because most of them have either been shot or are gradually waiting for death to come.

In some cases, the tarpaulin on the rocket burns the wooden structure of the machine, and it gradually becomes a lit tool until the flames have burned everything that can be consumed.

Faced with this situation, Tian Heng simply couldn't accept that his tactical arrangement would develop into such a result.

But at this time, the officers and soldiers under his command were already quite tired, and many officers and soldiers even sat on the ground and dozed off even despite the fact that they were still on the battlefield.

Tian Heng wanted to kill these bastards, but he didn't do it in the end. Because the commander of the Qin army had long seen the unbearable situation of these Qi officers and soldiers, he was also waiting for the most suitable time.

......

After knowing through some means that the Qi officers and soldiers a few hundred meters away were tired, Du Cong did not think about immediately throwing in the new force and then expelling these Qi troops.

But Chung To, who knows that this is not the best opportunity to do this, is waiting for a better opportunity.

It wasn't that he didn't think of letting a unit board a dozen big ships, and then make a detour to the periphery of the barrier, flanking back and forth, trapping these Qi officers and soldiers in this place.

After all, between the first barrier and the second barrier, Du Cong knew that even if the Qi army seemed to be searching for supplies, they would not find anything useful.

But Du Cong, who knew that the number of Qi troops should be more than so small, still gave up this idea.

Although he knew that this kind of large transport ship called "Fu Ship" could transport about 200 people and corresponding ordnance materials at a time. But the capacity of a dozen ships is not enough to put 3,000 troops at a time. And once the deployment of troops is carried out at this time, the sky will continue to start to brighten, and the Qi army will try to block the next launch as much as possible and concentrate the troops to eat this force.

If they were really besieged by the Qi army, such a more than 2,000 officers and soldiers might be solved by the Qi army first before they wanted to complete the task of pinching the front and rear in the field.

So Chung finally gave up this tactical method that made him a little moved, but it was obviously not feasible.

At this time, Du Chung received a piece of information that surprised him quite a lot, that is, on the western coastline, there was a fleet of ships that were not Liaodonglou boats, but with white characters on a black background and the "Qin" character flag approaching here.

Du Chung knew that this fleet was likely to be another large fleet in the Great Qin Empire, that is, Zhang Jiashi's formation had not been four years old, but the combat effectiveness and the number of ships were quite considerable.

Du Chung did not guess wrong, this fleet is indeed the Lou Boat Sergeant Unit under Li Shuang's command, of course, it is not only the Lou Boat Sergeant officers and soldiers under Li Shuang's command, there is also an elite infantry unit in this fleet that has been transported.

The commander of this force is Han Xin, and this unit is now also known as the Lantian Force of the Central Army of the Great Qin Empire.

Because Han Xin's resident camp is located in the Lantian area to the east and south of Xianyang.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Zhang Jiashi's dispatch of Han Xin to board the ships of the Lou Chuanshi troops in the Jixi River Beach area to support Du Chung's arrangement was not only Zhang Jiashi's first military command operation after arriving in the Linzi area.

Acting at the same time as Han Xin's army were the troops of Nguyen Ong Thieu and Su Teng, who advanced eastward by land, and the troops of Li Xin and Peng Viet, who reinforced the Jimo region to the south.

At this time, Zhang Jiashi transferred more than half of the main force of the Central Army under his command to play a role in other battlefields, and the most important thing was Zhang Jiashi's own ideas.

In other words, Zhang Jiashi was also forced. That is, the news that the Qiang people were defeated by the Huns again in the Hexi Corridor reached Zhang Jiashi's ears, making it impossible for Zhang Jiashi to easily sit firmly on the "Diaoyutai".
