It's just that in many ways, as a bystander, he is not the protagonist in this battle......

......

Historians of this world have many sources for describing this battle. However, what is more convincing and impressive is not the records recorded by some scribes who followed Zhang Jiashi, but some memories from the three Qin officers and soldiers who participated in the battle at that time.

These three Qin officers and soldiers were basically soldiers of the Afang Duwei battalion who survived after several battles, and they had no idea that this battle was not as tragic as before.

You must know that in the battle of Yongdu and several major battles before and after the Battle of the Great Wall, the Qin officers and soldiers who survived the Afangdu Lieutenant Battalion can only be regarded as very few in this battle.

In particular, after the Battle of Yongdu, the surviving personnel of the Afang Duwei battalion were sharply reduced from more than 5,000 to about 1,000.

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

After the Battle of Yongdu and the Battle of the Great Wall, he was promoted from an ordinary Qin soldier to the position of a hundred generals of the Qin army.

Although this matter can be regarded as a normal promotion in Zhang Jiashi's troops, Sui Zhong, who has participated in several fierce battles and survived, also feels how much the young general Zuo he followed has brought to his life.

One of the hundreds of commanders of the heavy infantry phalanx in front of Li Cang's left flank troops, in the second row of formations, saw hundreds of Korean chariots, passing over the infantry units in front and rushing towards them.

"Formation !!," the heavy infantry commander in front of the Qin army shouted 6 continuation.

Roman phalanx shields in pairs were quickly formed. Their mission was to prevent the chariot troops from storming the battle formation and to protect the Qin crossbowmen behind them as much as possible from being damaged by the opponent's ranged attacks.

Unlike the battle formations that storm the city gates, which are correspondingly dense, the distance between the shield soldiers in the battle formation is relatively sparse, and the crossbowmen have a relatively high probability of being hit by the enemy's long-range attacks when they shoot.

But this is also a matter of no choice, the passage of the city gate is correspondingly narrower, and the arrangement of a strict shield array is not a problem in terms of personnel arrangement. If a high-density formation is maintained in such a field combat situation, I am afraid that Zhang Jiashi will not be able to deploy twice as many manpower this time.

This time, the Qin army shield infantry was equipped with one-handed long-handled glaive swords, not long beryllium or long ge, or even weapons like Qin Jian.

Although the ability of the long beryllium to resist impact is relatively better than that of the shorter glaive, Zhang Jiashi still chose to make this weapon that gradually evolved during the Tang and Song dynasties due to the fact that the heavy infantry was mainly in close contact with the enemy's infantry.

Moreover, unlike the historical glaive, the handle is correspondingly shorter, and under the compromise of mechanics and the principle of leverage, choosing a hardwood pole with a length of about one meter and a straight-backed thick knife of more than 60 meters is more conducive to melee chopping.

Perhaps, this kind of weapon will be attacked by the enemy's long weapons, which are often more than 2.5 meters or even longer, but in the case of a shield, this shortcoming, which is not a disadvantage, has also been relatively effectively compensated.

Of course, it is still not a good way to fight against the war car, using the heavy infantry in formation, even if the heavy infantry can effectively kill and injure the war horse in the charge, but under the high inertia of the carriage, use this way to solve the opponent, and the heavy infantry who are overwhelmed by the impact will also suffer very large casualties, and it is more likely to be rushed out of the gap one by one because of this.

And in order to solve this problem, Zhang Jiashi, of course, will not forget his crossbowmen.

After more than 500 crossbow chariots, after the Korean chariot troops began to move, the crossbowmen on the crossbows aimed their heavy crossbows at a distance into the sky.

"Put!"

With the order of the Qin army officer of the nearby crossbow chariot, the firing range has been quite effectively improved, and in the case of projectile, it can shoot to more than 500 meters or even 600 meters, and the crossbow hammer still has considerable lethality, and it began to shoot sparsely at the Korean chariot troops in the impact.

This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, in terms of the width of the battlefield, the number of these crossbow chariots in mobile warfare is not too large, and the attack density will naturally have a considerable degree of "weakening".

The first wave of crossbows fired out had a relatively poor hit rate due to the distance factor.

With the exception of a few unlucky North Korean charioteers, the other tanks continued to charge forward.

At this time, including the officers and soldiers of the Qin army on the front line where Sui Zhong was located, they could clearly see that the Korean infantry unit began to attack about a thousand meters later.

Although it is impossible to see a person clearly at such a distance, it is not difficult to see clearly the infantry of the North Koreans, who are slowly advancing two or three hundred meters behind the tank.

Through the feedback from the front-line flag bearers with the corresponding flags, the Qin soldiers who were responsible for observing the flags quickly reported the situation to the commanders of the Qin troops in the three formations.

And after Zhang Jiashi learned about this situation, he wondered why such a thing happened. According to his discussion with Bai Qi, the other party should be waiting for them to storm the battle line rather than taking the initiative.

After pondering for a while, Bai Qi also felt quite strange, after all, such a thing was still a bit out of his original imagination.

According to Bai Qi's judgment, the Koreans should use phalanxes that were superior to the defensive side to resist the onslaught of the Qin army.

After all, Bai Qi is very aware of the relative advantages and disadvantages of this kind of phalanx soldiers who have long been backward and eliminated in the Central Plains, but such an impact plan that obviously abandons its strengths is very unreasonable.

Is this a mistake on the part of the other party's commander's tactical order? It is possible, but Bai Qi does not believe such a thing.

......

Bai Qi and the high-level leaders of the Qin army, including Zhang Jiashi, naturally did not expect that their opponent this time still had a considerable degree of strength.

The other party's arrangement was more of a helplessness, because after seeing the chariot that was hit by the arrow in the first wave of crossbows, and comparing the distance, he knew very well that if he went on like this, he could only sit back or flee directly back to Wang Jiancheng.

It's not that he wants to charge, it's not that he's stupid enough to do this, he is helpless to the extreme, so he makes such a tactical order.

An attack over 500 meters could still cause the charging chariot to turn over, and he had never heard of such a thing.

After he saw the situation on the front line, he knew very well that the other party's scientific and technological level, compared with them, was an existence that he didn't know how much he was excellent.

It's not that he didn't want to run back to Wang Jiancheng directly and refuse to fight these perverts, but he knew very well that once he did this, he would be directly killed by the furious Ji Zhun.

Therefore, this North Korean commander, who did not leave his name in the history books, could only make such a desperate plan.

......

The enemy's chariot units charged to a distance of about 500 meters from each line, and the crossbowmen behind the first row of shields joined the attack.

The crossbows flying like meteors in the sky continued to increase. As the distance got closer, more and more North Korean chariots were shot and killed.

Some of the lucky charioteers were lucky enough not to suffer serious damage in the first wave of attacks, but only fell because the carriage flipped over.

But as more and more crossbows leaned down, many wounded charioteers were nailed to the ground......

With the dwindling chariots of the Koreans, they continued to attack to the death, and when the chariot troops of the Koreans came to an area of about 300 meters, the crossbowmen of the Qin army also began to shoot.

At this time, although the crossbows were not as dense as raindrops in the eyes of the North Koreans, for these North Koreans, the attacks of these crossbows were undoubtedly more accurate.

Many of the crossbows shot out by the Qin army directly shot the charioteers, and the carriages that lost control, even if the horses were not seriously injured, these carriages that lost control often deviated from the forward route and then collided with other carriages behind.

If there had been a helicopter or something at this time, the scene of the "car accident" would have been now, and it would not be much different from the similar situation in later generations.

And some of the North Korean charioteers who were not hit by the critical point, after falling off the chariot, after feeling the sound of the chariot rushing from behind them, looked behind them with their heads that had not yet fully awakened......

What he saw was a horse's hoofed high, stomping straight towards his front door......

......

The tank units of the North Koreans, the combat losses are increasing, but at a distance of less than two hundred meters, it is not a distance that the surviving North Korean officers can easily retreat. After seeing many of their subordinates or colleagues killed, the North Korean officers had to bite the bullet and continue to charge.

However, this is their real nightmare.

The archers of the Qin army arranged at the front line, under the orders of their commanders, picked up the longbow in their hands, and then raised the bow at an angle of about 45 degrees, leaned sideways, and pulled the bowstring back with their right hand.

"Put !!"

Arrows and bows were interspersed in crossbows, and they were thrown at the chariots.

More North Korean chariots were shot, and many Korean charioteers, with three or four arrows stuck in their bodies, fell on the wagons or on the ground.

And the crossbowmen in front of them changed their way of shooting, they no longer took a projectile, but chose to shoot flat.

The crossbowmen who aimed at their targets pulled the trigger once, and this time, compared with many previous war horses or charioteers who only brought relatively "lighter" injuries, many of the crossbows that shot straight out even directly penetrated the body of the charioteers wearing metal armor, and some of the charioteers were even shot flat and took people back for a distance......

This time, the battle seemed to have been declared over when these North Korean tanks were almost completely lost......

Of course, this is the end of the story, and it is clear that it is not that simple.

There were less than twenty Koreans left, and some of the heavily armored charioteers had already been shot with a few arrows, but in their hearts, they wanted to kill these despicable enemies who would only hurt people with secret arrows.

However, what awaited them was that the longbowmen, who also fired flat, shot more and more arrows at them......

And Sui Zhong looked coldly at the fact that a Korean charioteer who was born not far in front of him could still stand up after being hit by dozens of crossbow arrows in his body.

This person may be a master, but his injuries are too serious, and what supports him may be just such a mouthful of unswallowed breath.

Faced with such a situation, the nearby crossbowmen did not want to waste their arrowheads, but ordered the crossbowmen to stop for a while.

And at the signal of a Qin army commander, he took his subordinates, that is, the ten heavy infantry of the nearest person, out of the formation and cautiously approached the other party.

This chief was not too reckless. But before he could get close to the other party for a distance, the other party stood on the ground like this, and slowly paralyzed on the ground for a while......

This man may have been the most courageous of the Koreans, but in the face of such an attack, he could only die under the dense fire of arrows.

The first phase of the battle ended with the annihilation of the Chariot units of the Koreans on the side of the Qin army, with almost no loss of a single soldier......

......

In later generations of historians, after reading the memories recorded with the recollection, there will often be a passage:

"That was the most shocking scene I had ever seen for the first time, I had not participated in the Great Qin's expedition to the Six Kingdoms or the troops of the two armies in the north and south, the rumored arrow array, until today, I saw it for the first time. Although it is not a rain of arrows as I have heard before, I believe only one thing anyway, and that is that we need not fear the enemy's chariot troops after the fall of the unknown enemy warrior. ā€

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

The next battle unfolded almost as before.

However, according to another person who recorded the memories of this area, a tun chief from Jiuyuan County, a crossbowman officer of the Qin army named Meng Da, there is a considerable discrepancy between the records of this place and the corresponding records of Sui Zhong.

"Our crossbowmen, including the crossbowmen, have little effective way to kill or damage the enemy against the enemy, who is also armed with a large metal shield. The other party must have used that large shield that was large enough to cover most of our bodies, blocking most of our attacks. ā€

This sentence shows that the crossbowmen of the Qin army, even the heavy crossbow charioteers who use refined crossbows, have no way to effectively kill and injure the Korean phalanx soldiers who are constantly advancing.

The shields in their hands effectively block most of the long-range attacks.

Of course, after this situation was fed back to the ears of the flag speaker, the flag bearer quickly made the corresponding flag message.

Seeing the situation ahead, Li Zuo Chexun said to the herald: "You let those crossbowmen temporarily let go of the enemy shield soldiers in front of them, and continue to use projectiles to attack the main force behind the enemy." And have the bed crossbowmen ready to strike at the enemy's shieldmen. ā€

"Whoa!"

The herald clenched his fists and left, then ran to the nearby standard-bearer and conveyed Li Zuoche's opinion.

In Li Zuoche's heart, dealing with this iron turtle and using the previous tactics no longer has much effect.

But this does not mean that Li Zuoche has no means to deal with such a situation.

The bed ballista was one of the best means of confrontation that Li Zuoche could use at this time.

......

And after Zhang Jiashi saw the flag, he also knew very well that the hundreds of ballistas that had not been used before should be time to show their hands.

These bed ballistas, after many small improvements, are still relatively unsatisfactory in many respects due to the lack of materials that are now impossible to find, or even available, such as rubber or lubricating oil.

It is a good thing to have a certain degree of improvement, but the inability to effectively improve again is what Zhang Jiashi is relatively resentful.

In this case, it is almost the best result that the Liaodong Military Construction Institute can do, Zhang Jiashi also knows very well that the personnel under his command and the Mo family personnel dominated by Mo Shu have indeed tried their best.

In the current situation, many things simply cannot be forced.

But this does not mean that this kind of situation that can be imagined but cannot be done at all makes Zhang Jiashi unable to complain.

Vegetable oil extracted from Liaodong Military Construction Institute and the corresponding oil of animal oil...... To be honest, there is really no effect on the use of bed crossbows, and the simple oil made from these bio-oils can be regarded as better than nothing for the wear and tear of machinery.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Jiashi could only sigh silently.

Zhang Jiashi knows very well that with the current industrial level, it is already worth thanking for being able to make natural rubber products, if it involves crude oil......

Zhang Jiashi is not a talent in this area, he is just a small Taoist priest, and more importantly, the corresponding scientific and technological narrative of the Qingyu Lingshu is only in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, under this premise, not to mention the crude oil industrial system, it is impossible to do even some in-depth chemical processes.

Perhaps, crossing again, and then kidnapping Dimitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and crossing again, there is still a possibility that Zhang Jiashi will be able to succeed in his lifetime......

Of course, this is impossible, and besides, in terms of Zhang Jiashi's situation in this world, even if he has the opportunity to cross again, what can he do?

Can he take the risk of gambling with the people he cares about, including the people he loves and those who love him?

What he can do now is to wait for his current highest scientific and technological achievements to be effective.

And what he didn't know was that it wasn't just him waiting, but the bed crossbowmen on the battlefield were also waiting for the order to attack......
