readx;?? Although Han Xin led his troops to come, he found that the battle situation was not what he thought, and the Qin officers and soldiers under Zhuang Guang still had the ability to control the scene, but the thousands of Qin officers and soldiers guarding the wall of Hangu Pass had to pay a lot of casualties in the face of this attack by the Chu army. Biquge.info.vd.m

This situation shows that the officers and soldiers under Zhuang Guang's command have lost the ability to control the battlefield.

Han Xin asked his officers to quickly lead his subordinates to reinforce his comrades in front, and he was thinking about what to do to make up for such a disadvantage.

He did not think that such a situation could be improved without allowing the opposing troops to climb the city walls.

Han Xin quickly thought of what he should do, he gritted his teeth and quickly sent someone to find Zhuang Guang.

Although Zhuang Guang did not fight with the coalition officers and soldiers at the front, he commanded the troops to resist the offensive of the coalition forces in the back.

The personal soldiers sent out by Han Xin quickly found Zhuang Guang.

"Captain Han wants to find me?" Zhuang Guang looked at this Han Xin's personal soldier suspiciously, and the latter nodded after holding his fists: "Captain Zhuang, Lord Captain Du did order like this. ”

Although he didn't know what Han Xin was looking for him at such a time, Zhuang Guang didn't think that Han Xin would let him leave his combat post without permission for no reason.

After looking at the situation ahead, Zhuang Guang nodded: "Please lead the way." ”

......

Han Xin saw Zhuang Guang's arrival and quickly said his plan:

"Captain Zhuang, such a situation is quite unfavorable for us, and if we want to reverse such a situation, we have to fight to the death. ”

Zhuang Guang heard Han Xin's words, and first of all, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, after all, the battle itself is a desperate thing, otherwise they would have died on the battlefield a long time ago.

But Han Xin's next words made Zhuang Guang open his mouth wide:

"Captain Zhuang, we will put the enemy on the city wall, and then engage in a tug-of-war with the other party!"

If it weren't for Zhuang Guang knowing that Han Xin was quite trusted in Zhang Jiashi's heart, and he was indeed very capable, and secondly, Han Xin's official position was higher than him, otherwise Zhuang Guang would have glared at Han Xin angrily.

But Han Xin quickly said why he had such an idea: "Captain Zhuang, you should also be clear that the number of the Chu army is several times that of our army, and the opponent's onslaught, regardless of casualties, has almost lost our own advantages, otherwise, some time ago, Jiang Duwei and Kong Duwei would not have been killed and wounded, and a large number of officers and soldiers would have been sleeping in such a place forever." And you also know one thing very well, that is, the Chu army's countermeasure ability is not much worse than ours, and you can't deny this. ”

Zhuang Guang knew very well that what Han Xin said was the truth, because when he arrived, he was almost not hit by the arrows thrown by the other party, and the shields in the hands of the guards beside Han Xin or in front of the ground where they were located, there were a lot of arrows scattered or nailed to the shield.

He quickly thought that Han Xin was doing this, which was indeed very risky, and it also showed that Han Xin did this for a reason.

After all, Han Xin's idea was not random at all, because Han Xin intended to weaken the Chu army's long-range attack advantage as much as possible. The best way to express this is to make it impossible for the opponent to shoot at will.

Zhuang Guang is not a person who does not know how to fight, otherwise he would have died in the previous series of battles.

He looked at Han Xin and said in a deep voice: "If Hangu Pass is lost because of this, how can you and I see the king?"

"I'm afraid that when that time comes, the king won't be able to see you and me anymore......" Han Xin laughed at himself, and Zhuang Guang could of course hear the subtext of Han Xin's words:

If it really turns into such a situation, I'm afraid you and I will both die on the wall.

When Zhuang Guang heard this, he didn't react, but nodded: "Since that's the case, let's do it according to Han Duwei's arrangement." ”

Han Xin also nodded, looked at the back of Zhuang Guang, who quickly turned away, and muttered a sentence: "Maybe this will make more people die, but the art of war is cloudy, and you will be born after death." ”

If Zhang Jiashi knew about Han Xin's thoughts, I'm afraid he wouldn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Han Xin's arrangement is indeed a very risky thing, because once the Qin officers and soldiers on the wall can't withstand the offensive of the Chu army, then what awaits them will be a disaster.

Of course, this is also a combat style of Han Xin himself, just like the history of the world where Zhang Jiashi is located, Han Xin led a partial division to attack Zhao State, if Chen Yu and the others followed Li Zuoche's advice, then what awaited Han Xin was a real fiasco.

However, the result is nothing, there is no need to say anything, that is, Han Xin won, and won the strategic initiative of the Han army on the northern route, and then swept through the Zhao State, the Yan State, and the Qi State......

It can be said that Han Xin's adventure is indeed very thrilling, but one thing cannot be denied, that is, Han Xin is not the kind of person who takes risks at will and kills himself.

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

Under Zhuang Guang's command, the Qin officers and soldiers on the city wall quickly retreated twenty meters, giving way to an area where the Chu army could enter the city to fight or even list up formations.

After all, the wall of Hangu Pass was relatively wide, and this arrangement did not make the Qin officers and soldiers lose room to retreat.

And the officers and soldiers of Chu soon discovered such a situation, because many allied troops could see that the arrows shot down from the city wall were reduced a lot.

However, in fact, this was not the case, but Han Xin quickly thought of a situation, that is, he asked the crossbowmen on the city wall to quickly retreat to the bottom of Hangu Pass, line up again, and then use a large-angle projectile to strike at the Chu officers and soldiers.

This could have hurt friendly forces by mistake, but Han Shin believes that this is unlikely. Because the Liaodong Army under Zhang Jiashi was able to do this.

After all, the crossbowmen of the Liaodong Army were taught how to shoot when they were training.

After discussion, Zhang Jiashi and other officers under his command formally carried out various corrections and practical tests for such training.

Soon, the Liaodong Army mainly mastered two methods of projectile warfare.

One is to make a long-angle projectile at a 45-degree angle, and the other is to make a high-angle projectile at a 60-degree angle.

The former is mainly for long-range suppression, and the latter is for cover operations.

In such a situation, Han Shin believes that this kind of training can come in handy.

......

Many Chu officers and soldiers climbed the wall of Hangu Pass again, and what they saw was the wall of Hangu Pass, and many Qin officers and soldiers had already arranged a formation and were waiting for their attack.

Some Chu military captains didn't understand why the Qin army was so stupid to give up such a critical area as the city wall, and let them gather a formation to attack the other party.

But before these lieutenants could find out what the situation was, he suddenly saw a wave of dense black shadows flying up directly from behind these Qin army formations.

He wondered what it was, but soon, he saw that the shadows were made up of thousands of arrows fired into the sky.

He hurriedly ordered his officers and soldiers who had already climbed the city wall to assemble a formation for defense, but they soon discovered that the target of these arrows was not them, but the officers and soldiers behind.

Because the arrows flew straight over their heads.

But he didn't dare to turn around and look at the situation behind him, because the formation assembled by the Qin officers and soldiers in front of him also began to move.

......

The bows and arrows on the city wall seemed to have stopped, and the allied officers and soldiers under the city couldn't help but rejoice, because the damage brought by these arrows was not comparable to the ordinary officers and soldiers who were not very well equipped.

While many of them wore iron armor or metal armor, many more were able to wear some cowhide armor or just a single coat.

After the rain of arrows fell in the sky, many coalition officers and soldiers fell one after another, wailing and screaming beside some of the decomposing corpses.

But what they didn't expect was that the crossbowmen among them intended to fight back in the same way, but many of them shot down some of the friendly troops who were still climbing the ladder.

Many of these crossbowmen have not undergone rigorous training, and some of them are even reluctant to use bows and crossbows, and under such a premise, they naturally do not have the kind of projectile ability of the crossbowmen of the Liaodong Army.

After all, the input expenditures of the two sides are not at all in comparison.

One thing that was even more difficult for these crossbowmen to accept was that the falling arrows seemed to be getting denser and denser, with little sign of complete interruption.

Such a point, of course, is impossible, even if it is a veteran crossbowman of the Liaodong Army, it is impossible to shoot too many arrows at once.

In fact, there is a flaw in their attack, that is, the rate of fire that seems to be quite frequent, and the density of fire brought by it is relatively thin.

Because the archers with the Liaodong Army crossbowmen as the main body mainly took turns shooting to fight.

This design method is one of the ways to extend the crossbowman's combat stamina and slow down the consumption.

Perhaps, the lethality and momentum brought by a one-time intensive shooting are indeed very good, but it is inevitable that this shooting method will affect many details.

For example, the neatness of the shot, the fit between the crossbowmen, and the judgement of the commander.

And this kind of way of shooting at the front, retreating to the back, and then the crossbowmen in the second row, who have already loaded their arrows, shoot again, shoot the crossbow in their hands, and then back again, and so on, is in many ways more effective.

Because even the crossbowmen of some other troops can well cooperate with the crossbowmen of the Liaodong Army who now occupy the main body to conduct shooting battles.

Of course, they did not have a good grasp of this kind of projectile, after all, the crossbows in their hands, and the training they had conducted, could only allow these crossbowmen to imitate their own robes in this way of fighting.

......

In the sky, the arrow flew over the Hangu Pass, and on the wall of the Hangu Pass below, Zhuang Guang, who was in charge of commanding the military array, quickly gave an order: "Resist the !!"

He did not order the officers and soldiers under his command to take the initiative to attack, but the Chu army was obviously planning to rush over, and it was naturally impossible for him to remain indifferent.

In a sense, Zhuang Guang knows very well that, as Han Xin said, this kind of combat method does reduce the lethality brought by the allied army's crossbowmen a lot, but it cannot be denied that this kind of combat plan is tantamount to making the opponent directly impact their formation.

This method of warfare is simply to use human lives to withstand the enemy's offensive.

But he knew very well that what Han Xin said was not unreasonable. That is, the crossbowmen of the opposing side pose a greater threat.

Soon, under the command of the officers of the coalition troops in the city, the two sides quickly collided together.

This time, the person in charge of the first front was the Liaodong Military Material Officer Unit under Han Xin.

Under the cover of the iron shield of the heavy infantry, the officers and soldiers of the coalition could not directly break through the opponent's defensive formation, but were directly killed and injured by the weapons stabbed out of the gaps in the shield.

Soon, many coalition officers and soldiers fell in front of the shield.

The cracks in the stones used to build the walls were quickly filled up again by the blood that flowed out, and then flowed elsewhere.

However, the officers and soldiers of the coalition behind quickly filled such a gap, and then continued to fight with the Qin officers and soldiers.

The two sides officially launched a tug-of-war on the wall to landfill with human lives.

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

At this time, on the road to Xianyang west of Hangu Pass, a large convoy of horse-drawn carriages was rushing towards Hangu Pass.

The commander of this unit was a transport team and a siege equipment unit mobilized by Zhang Jiashi after he collected Kong Gang's headquarters.

On this batch of carriages, there are three main things transported, the same is a trebuchet that is disassembled into parts state, Zhang Jiashi asked Liaodong Military Construction to try to make a batch of metal brackets and wooden lever design packaging trebuchets, this kind of thing Zhang Jiashi has never said too much to the personnel under his command, and the expenditure in this area is basically Zhang Jiashi's own pocket.

There is still a big flaw in this kind of thing, that is, the wooden casting rod still lacks reliable stability at all.

In addition, the weight of the metal bracket is quite large, so it is not suitable for overall production.

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Qin Empire had some experience in the production of this kind of split parts, and Liaodong Military Construction was also good at this kind of process, it would still be quite difficult for Zhang Jiashi to make this kind of thing with the design drawings in the Qingyu Spirit Book.

Moreover, it takes some time to assemble and disassemble this kind of thing itself, and there is no room for that kind of use in field combat.

If it weren't for Zhang Jiashi's thought that it might be possible to attack Xianyang, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought of such a thing for a while.

The prototype of this throwing baler is mainly improved from the Western return cannon, and the Qingyu Lingshu is the product of the improvement of the Ming Dynasty recorded in the Qingyu Lingshu.

The second thing these wagons transported, a kind of tung oil that had been placed in a special paper bag with a throwing baler.

This kind of thing certainly occupies a lot of cost, but Zhang Jiashi believes that this kind of thing can be used even without relying on trebuchets.

And the stone bomb or something, Zhang Jiashi really didn't think much about it.

It's not that stone bullets aren't useful, but they're actually hard to craft, and in some cases no more effective than throwing pebbles at all.

That's why Zhang Jiashi came up with such a configuration plan.

For Zhang Jiashi, some money can not be saved, and in the current situation, the corresponding area of Shangjun, that is, near the Yan'an area in later generations, has indeed found shallow oil.

Such news is not a bad thing for Zhang Jiashi. If it weren't for the lack of military use of this crude oil without blending, Zhang Jiashi would have exploited it in large quantities.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi is not paying attention to such a situation now, after all, there are still things he needs to pay attention to at the moment.

The last type is the batch of about 100,000 throwing spears transported in this convoy.

This spear throwing is an improved version.

The kind of all-metal spear in the Battle of the Giant Deer, both the scrap rate and the recovery rate are unacceptable to Zhang Jiashi, after all, the all-metal spear, after being thrown, the top is broken or the spear body is bent, and it is difficult to continue to use it.

Although, this kind of broken spear can certainly be rebuilt, and the molten iron smelted seems to be more suitable for making weapons. But Zhang Jiashi does not have the corresponding coal mine, and there is no shortage of iron ore in the area controlled by Zhang Jiashi.

In the southern part of Yanmen County, that is, near Datong in later generations, the excavation of coal mines has been carried out, but the road is too far away, after all, it is from Yanmen County to Jixian County or Anshan in Liaodong County, and the effective use rate of coal and stone mined is not high.

According to Zhang Jiashi's plan, when the Liaodong military construction is appropriate, he will move a large number of personnel to the area of Jiuyuan County, and then select a site in this area to establish an integrated industrial area similar to the Liaodong military construction and Liaodong shipbuilding.

The main change in this spear is that the handle is made of wood, and the specifications have not changed much, and it is mainly made according to the original spear throwing specifications.

Of course, the tip of the spear is still polished using molten iron.

In a sense, this spear throwing is equivalent to sawing off a long spear. Zhang Jiashi asked the Liaodong soldiers to produce 100,000 throwing spears, which was more of a semi-formal number. If this spear throwing is indeed more effective than the previous product and there is no big problem, upgrading this spear throwing to a standard equipment is not impossible in Zhang Jiashi's heart.

And the people who commanded this convoy were two old acquaintances of Zhang Jiashi......

One of them was on the road for several days, rushed to Yunzhong County, and caught up with Li Zuoche of the convoy.

The other one is Chen Heng, who is in charge of transportation safety this time......
