readx;?? For Li Ping and Zhuang Guang, before Wang Li's army arrived, what they had to do was to make sure that the camp was not captured by Liu Bang's Chu army. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info copy this address viewing%62%69%71%69%65

Although such a dirt mountain is not a particularly dangerous defensive stronghold, with sufficient material guarantees, if their more than 4,000 people could not even hold on for such a day, then they would have participated in such a long battle in vain.

......

One of the advantages of defending at high is that it is difficult for the enemy at the lower level to be able to suppress the defenders at the same range.

The situation in Jiaxian County is another matter, after all, the low city wall in Jiaxian County can help Li Cang's department, and it is indeed difficult to say that it has practical effects.

For Li Ping and Zhuang Guang, as well as the more than 4,000 prisoners and officers and soldiers under their command, the effect that this hill can bring is not comparable to that of Jiaxian.

After the Chu army under Liu Bang launched an attack, Li Ping and Zhuang Guang, who were respectively commanding the troops to defend the offensive on two sides, looked at the mountain with a crossbow machine with a horn and arrows in their hands, aimed at the position of the Chu army, and after comparing the distance, he did not shoot this crossbow that could be regarded as a shooting command.

On the other hand, Zhuang Guang is doing the same thing.

The old-fashioned weapons that were transformed from Zhang Jiashi's Liaodong military construction, such as crossbows and other weapons that were left in the past, or stored in the warehouse or recovered again, were also retrofitted with corresponding parts.

With a hand crossbow, a heavy crossbow or even a bed crossbow in Wangshan, there has indeed been a great improvement in long-range accuracy.

Zhang Jiashi also didn't think about whether he would pay a greater price once this technology was used by other forces.

It's just that under Bai Qi's persuasion, Zhang Jiashi didn't just give up eating because of choking, because at such a stage, the large-scale popularization of small parts like Wangshan can bring about an increase in combat effectiveness, and Zhang Jiashi has to focus on thinking about such a thing.

And the reason why Zhang Jiashi really made up his mind was because the new type of hand crossbow or strong crossbow that Zhang Jiashi gradually installed was relatively low in the possibility of being completely copied by others. Because Zhang Jiashi adopted the assembly line processing and production method to make these weapons, if people looked at them like this, they could be imitated, and Zhang Jiashi also recognized them.

......

What Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that when Lu Ze and the others collected those Liaodong standard weapons that could still be used, they found that some hand crossbows or strong crossbows that could still be used were a little different from the corresponding weapons and equipment they got from the captured cities.

Especially when Lu Ze saw Wangshan, he thought that it was impossible for the Liaodong Army to install such a thing for no reason.

After about half an hour of exploration, Lu Ze discovered the use of such a thing whose name he didn't know yet. And after a detailed test, Lu Ze told his younger brother Lu Shizhi about this discovery.

But Lu Shizhi actually told him one thing, that is, Lu Shizhi wanted him to destroy all this weapon.

"Why do you want to do this?" Lu Ze said in confusion.

"Let's leave a way back, if we fail this time, maybe we will have to defect to the other party, if the relationship between our Lu family and the other party becomes very bad because of such a thing, it will not be a good thing. Lu Shizhi said what he thought.

Listening to his brother's words, Lu Ze sighed softly after being stunned for a while: "This ...... Well, do as you say!"

Zhang Jiashi may have to be grateful to the Lu family brothers, if it weren't for Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi quietly dismantling these things and destroying them. Even if the other party does not do this, it will not substantially affect the outcome of this battle, but how much advantage Liu Bang will gain in the Kanto region in the future, or how much he Zhang Jiashi will have to pay, will become an unpredictable situation.

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

After the Chu army came to a distance of about 300 meters around the hill, from time to time, the crossbows fired by the strong crossbows of the Chu army flew into the camp.

From time to time, crossbows hit the heavy infantry shields that covered the crossbowmen, and occasionally a few exclamations or screams were heard.

However, more crossbows did not hit the officers and soldiers of Liaodong.

To avoid some problems, such as the Chu army will shoot rockets on a large scale, burn the materials, etc., Li Ping and Zhuang Guang have long scattered these baggage wagons, and on top of these materials, they are placed on top of each piece of wood with stones or something.

Zhang Jiashi has always wanted to research a fireproof cloth or something, but even with the knowledge assistance of Xu Fu and Han Zhong and other scholars, it is impossible to make such a thing at such a time.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi had to adopt a relatively stupid method to deal with this situation.

For example, this method of relocating materials under the carriage and then covering the carriage with stones, sand or something is relatively effective, but to be honest, this method is really not very convenient.

As the Chu army troops got closer and closer, Li Ping and Zhuang Guang, who had not let go of their hands, directly pulled the trigger of the strong crossbow in their hands.

A sharp sound slammed into the formation of the Chu army.

Subsequently, hundreds of Liaodong Army crossbowmen, who had already prepared to shoot, either deducted the bracket one after another, or released their fingers pulling the bowstring.

Although in terms of such a number, it is difficult for a small number of crossbowmen to effectively bring relatively more damage to the Chu army, but because of the influence of the terrain, the Liaodong Army crossbowmen who are condescendingly shooting at the Chu army that are slowly rushing towards the ramp below, each wave of shooting even brings quite effective killing effects to a dozen or more Chu troops.

From time to time, the Chu army fell on a steep ramp due to the influence of the terrain, but such casualties, for the Chu officers and soldiers, were not enough to make their will to fight collapse and retreat.

However, in this kind of terrain, it was relatively difficult for the Chu army to effectively bring effective damage to the Liaodong army behind the fence.

In addition to throwing arrows from time to time, the officers and soldiers of Chu do not have much effective way to kill and injure the Liaodong Army on the mountain.

From time to time, the Chu army on the ramp between one or two hundred meters from the camp fell to the ground screaming, and the hoplites in front of them did not suffer too many casualties, because in addition to the strong crossbow, the Liaodong army had not used any other weapons that could threaten the shield in front of their bodies.

Of course, it's not that the convict army doesn't have such weapons, but Li Ping and Zhuang Guang both know that now is not the time to use these weapons.

......

The person in charge of directing this offensive was Fan Xu. As a merchant who sells dog meat, Fan Xu originally didn't know anything about commanding operations.

But for him, such a period of experience has not only allowed him to see a lot of things, but also allowed him to learn a lot of things. It's like how to command troops in battle.

After discovering that the troops in front seemed to be unable to attack for a long time, and even had some confusion, Fan Xu had to say to his guards: "You go to the front and see what is going on!"

"Wow!" the guards quickly clenched their fists and left Fan Xu's side.

Behind Fan Xu, there is the northwest city wall of Jia County. He did not observe the situation on the battlefield on the city wall like Liu Bang and Zhang Liang and others, but was responsible for directing the battle in this place.

There are some things, even if Fan Xu didn't say it, it doesn't mean that Fan Xu will approve of such a result.

Especially for Liu Changman, Fan Xu's mood is very complicated.

He likes this little guy very much, and he also knows that his son Fan Yan has a good relationship with his little cousin. But the person who was dissatisfied with Fan Hao was not Lu Pheasant, not Liu Changman, but Zhang Jiashi.

If there was no other person, maybe everything would be much better. It's just that Fan Xu is not a very unreasonable person, he knows a fact, that is, if there is no Zhang Jiashi, then Liu Luyuan, the niece, may have died a long time ago.

Therefore, Fan Xu's mood before asking for war was also more complicated: "If I Lao Fan catches you, I will let you live!"

In his heart, Zhang Jiashi's life and death can be regarded as a matter of course, and he will not doubt that the winner between Liu Bang and Zhang Jiashi is Liu Bang's undoubted idea.

It's just that after receiving the report from his personal guard, Fan Xu was surprised by what he heard:

The brothers in front of them could not get close to the 50-meter range of the opponent's camp, and the other party not only arranged equipment in some more dangerous positions, but also arranged a lot of antlers to resist horses in the rear of this section!"

The opinion summed up by these guards made Fan Hao stunned for a moment. Because he didn't expect things to change like this.

According to what Fan Xu thought, this time the battle to attack this Qin army camp was naturally the same as yesterday.

What Fan Xu didn't expect was that the situation of the Chu army was much more miserable than the descriptions of these pro-soldiers.

......

Li Ping and Zhuang Guang did not just build the barracks, but at the same time as building the barracks, the big trees that were cut down were quickly made into sharp columns.

The pillars were moved to some position fifty meters away from the barracks, and then repaired again and tied into a row of spikes.

These spikes can be used as a repellent, and in some ways can be more effective in blocking attacks on the camp from below the spikes.

Of course, the role of these spikes is not so simple.

Some Chu officers and soldiers intended to use these spiked wooden platoons to block the fire of crossbowmen from the barracks' fences. But they soon discovered that they couldn't climb up these places......

They then discovered that there was a road about the width of the spikes under the spikes, which was reinforced by something unknown, and it was relatively slippery, and it was really difficult for ordinary people to climb up such a nearly ten meter slide.

However, they soon discovered what the slides were for.

That is, when some marksmen fired rockets at a fixed rope behind these wooden platoons, the ropes were gradually burned out.

Lost the fixed wooden raft and quickly slid downward.

After many Chu officers and soldiers found out about this situation, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, but it was too late.

A slide of about ten meters may not let these pointed wooden pillars fall much faster, but it can still be done if it can catch the Chu army twenty or thirty meters away by surprise.

Such an attack will also not bring much damage to the Chu army, but many things, not a single attack can explain the combat method on the battlefield.

On the periphery of the barracks, one by one was pushed to the front, and the ballista cars modified and made by using the equipment production method of the Liaodong Army were pushed to the front.

This ballista is a light bed crossbow installation method, after many years of testing and production, this type of ballista is very well established.

Of course, this emergency method is more of an effective means for the Liaodong Army, which does not pay much attention to the production of bed crossbows, to transform the old bed crossbows obtained from everywhere.

Although the reliability of this kind of ballista has not been greatly improved, for Zhang Jiashi and others, such a situation cannot be forced too much.

And this time, the ballista that was pushed to the front of the fence, and the light bed crossbow used, was obtained from Xianyang Palace or Xianyang City.

Because the crossbows of the Liaodong Army are not the same size as these old-style crossbows, and the versatility is poor, many times, this kind of transformation between the troops under his command, he only opens his eyes and closes his eyes. After all, in such a situation now, the materials transferred from Liaodong County, Jixian County, Taiyuan and other places alone are no longer enough to meet the needs of the operation, so he knows that if he doesn't care too much about such a thing, his subordinates will naturally know what they should do.

The crossbows, crossbows and other things that Zhang Jiashi didn't pay attention to all appeared at such a time.

Although the accuracy of this kind of thing is relatively poor, it comes in handy in this environment where even if it is launched, there is a high probability of hitting the target.

The nightmare of the Chu army around the camp has officially arrived.

......

The convict officers and men operating these ballistas, under the cover of the heavy infantry next to them, quickly lowered the angle of fire on the crossbow bodies.

This maximum firing angle of about minus 15 degrees will certainly have a very large impact on the recoil at the junction between the ballista and the bed crossbow, but at such a time, no one cares about so many and some are not.

"Put !!"

One by one, the captain or even the elder shouted out this sentence.

The prisoner soldier in charge of shooting quickly fired the crossbow through the bed crossbow in front of him.

After a while, the Chu army, which was about sixty meters behind the camp, was quickly shot through the body by rows of crossbows.

Even some Chu officers and soldiers holding iron shields in their hands would be very stunned to find that the iron shield in their hands was like a thing that should be called paper, and after it was easily pierced, the crossbow directly penetrated his body......

And not only that, some of the Chu officers and soldiers who were not in the first batch were some people, and after the people in front were led by the crossbow, they were also shot through the body by the crossbow that continued to fly forward.

Many Chu officers and soldiers paid a very heavy price at this time.

Under the next few fierce arrows and rain offensives, the Chu army suffered more and more casualties, and in the end, the Chu army had to abandon most of the wounded, as well as almost visible corpses, and retreat down the mountain.

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

Although it was to repel this offensive of the Chu army, Li Ping and Zhuang Guang were not happy.

The casualties of the Chu army were quite large, but their casualties were not too small.

In less than two hours of fighting, they had more than four thousand men, and less than four thousand remained. If it weren't for this terrain defense, they might all die miserably by now.

The worst part is not only this situation, but many ballistae are no longer usable after several high-intensity shots.

For example, together with the kings he followed, it took several years to find a suitable solution to this problem, let alone them.

Of course, they don't have an emergency solution, that is, they can use a few people to make manual adjustments, and they can still do this.

However, these brothers are afraid that after two or three shots, they will all be wounded.

So, they know very well that this method is not something to be used casually.

Compared with this situation, the material consumption of the camp can continue to support high-intensity operations for several hours. But the bows and crossbows in the hands of some brothers also had some problems. Of course, they knew what was going on, but at the moment, it was probably not very useful to rely on some trained brothers to carry out emergency maintenance.

It can be said that if this situation worsens, I am afraid that they will not have any equipment to use before the arrows are consumed.

Li Ping sighed softly, and then said to Zhuang Guang: "Old Zhuang, what do you think will happen next?"

"Don't ask me about this, if the Chu army attacks next time, I'm afraid we won't be so easy. Zhuang Guang shook his head helplessly: "If General Wang doesn't come today, then we will have a lot of fun." ”

Li Ping, who heard this, and other middle-level officers of the prisoner army, all showed a wry smile.

......

The Chu army retreated down the mountain, leaving Fan Xu dumbfounded for a long time before he lowered his head and returned to Liu Bang, who was in Jia County.

Liu Bang was about to reprimand Fan Xu, but after Zhang Liang next to him coughed lightly, he said a sentence: "Brother Fan Xu doesn't have to be like this, Qin Gou behaved like this, so that Ben Gong had to be surprised." ”

After Fan Hao heard Liu Bang's words, he just arched his hand and returned to his position with his head down.

Liu Bang was a little annoyed in his heart, but he also knew that Fan Xu's character was like this.

It's just that Liu Bang didn't expect that there were more than 5,000 casualties this time, and if this continued, I am afraid that the price he would have to pay would be greater.

He couldn't help but put his eyes on Zhang Liang, looked at the other party and said his thoughts: "Mr. Zifang, I don't know if we can directly abandon this place, and then the whole army will bypass each other and go straight to Guanzhong." ”

Zhang Liang shook his head: "Pei Gong, this is the next policy, if our future war is not smooth, I'm afraid it will ......."

Zhang Liang didn't finish his words, but the people around Liu Bang all knew what Zhang Liang didn't finish, what it meant......

......

In this matter, Nangong Qi rode on his mount and occasionally looked back at the troops behind him.

It was a reinforcement force of knights and charioters.

And unlike the usual light chariot soldiers, most of the horse chariots, in addition to the original light chariot soldiers, there are four other material officers and soldiers......
