readx;?? Unlike the Wei army, the Qi army, which had lost almost all of its chariot units, did not allow the infantry units, which were still advancing slowly, to retreat. Biquge.info.vd.m

In a sense, Tian Heng's strength is indeed much stronger than Wei Bao's straw bale. And the equipment of the Qi army is much better than that of the Wei army.

Because the Qi State, which was almost completely built by the Great Qin soldiers in the Linzi region, is not as good as Xianyang and Zhang Jiashi in terms of equipment forging, but in many ways, it is much stronger than many princes.

In such a situation, although the relatively well-equipped Qi army suffered heavy casualties under the rain of arrows fired by the Liaodong Army, it was far from enough to make other Qi officers and soldiers retreat.

Moreover, in front of the Qi army's troops, there was a team of troops that made Han Xin and the others have to frown slightly.

That is a group of elite troops of the Qi State wearing iron armor and holding big swords or double swords in their hands.

......

In a sense, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States basically have troops that they are proud of. Among them, Wei Wushu, Qi Technician, and Zhao Tuqi are the most elite.

The elite troops of the Qin army are not famous, but their combat effectiveness is the strongest, because the Qin army does not have much interest in the small and elite troops in comparison, but is more inclined to make the overall force more combat-capable.

Facts have proved that the idea of the monarch of the Qin State at that time was quite correct, because it was in this way that the Qin State formed a gradually improved and increasingly powerful army to win the world.

If compared with the same number of troops, Wei Wushu's combat effectiveness is indeed the strongest, but after Pang Juan's soldiers were defeated and died in Ma Ling, the real Wei Wushu officially disappeared.

In the Battle of Jishui that took place between 281 BC, thousands of the most elite fighters of Qi were wiped out. It can also illustrate one point from the side, that is, no matter how strong an elite combat force is, it is difficult to directly reverse the situation in the overall situation of crisis.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi did not focus too much on the construction of real elite troops, but took improving the overall combat effectiveness of the troops under his command as the core direction of troop building.

But in such a situation, the Qi army actually trained a technical fighter with a certain combat effectiveness in such a short period of time, which made Han Xin and the others frown.

Because in a certain sense, almost all of the skilled fighters are composed of professionals, so whether it is in terms of food or equipment, five hundred skilled fighters are equivalent to five thousand knights or even more. And what role can 500 skilled fighters play in the big war?

Seeing such a situation, I regretted a little that I should have persuaded Zhang Jiashi to form a real elite army at the beginning.

After all, in such a situation, it is not good.

Han Xin's idea was not that these skilled fighters had reduced the casualties of the Qi army a lot, and he knew very well that these elite troops were attacking in such a situation, which was more of a stupid move by the commander.

Because the technical fighters are an elite force composed of professionals, their combat effectiveness is indeed extraordinary. But in such a situation, Han Xin didn't think that the other party would be able to exert such a combat power for a long time. You must know that professionals are also human beings, and they are not non-human beings. Can these professionals do more in such a situation?

The answer is no.

Han Xin didn't care too much about the Qi army's skilled fighters, who might not last long, but focused on the layout of the Qi army.

The battle has continued until now, and Han Xin knows that the physical strength on their side should be consumed quite a lot, but the Qi army can effectively rotate and make the continuous ability of the battle stronger.

However, judging from the layout of the Qi army, it seems that the other side does not intend to defeat them by taking turns to fight.

What is the reason for this, Han Xin asked himself if he was an immortal, and naturally he didn't know what was going on, but he didn't think that the other party's way of fighting was a bad thing for him and his comrades.

Han Xin knew very well that with the layout of the Qi army alone, although it was not a big threat to them, on the other hand, it was almost impossible for them to break the Qi army with a counterattack in such a situation.

After all, there are still many troops in the Qi army that have not been mobilized, and the casualties they have brought to the Qi army are not too great after fighting so far. Wanting to expect to re-enact the results of the battle against the Wei army, even Han Xin thought that such a thing was impossible.

Han Xin shook his head lightly and sighed slightly: "What does the other party want to do?"

Han Xin didn't speculate too much, because he saw that the Qi army was very tenacious and advanced to a distance of more than a hundred meters that many crossbowmen could not hit.

It's not that these crossbowmen don't have the ability to shoot at this distance, but with a large number of shield soldiers gathered in front of them, it is difficult for the crossbowmen to master how to fire their arrows.

At this time, the Qi army had already begun to shoot back, and the arrows fired in the Qi army's formation also brought heavy casualties to the crossbowmen in the troops.

In such a situation, Han Xin had to frown, because he knew very well that although this kind of casualty was unavoidable, he didn't like this kind of thing too much.

He focused his attention on a group of shield soldiers with a long sword on their backs and shields in their hands to block the falling arrows, although he didn't know why these people appeared, but he knew very well that Zhang Jiashi was not doing useless work in this arrangement, and he didn't ask too much.

......

The Qi army advanced to the front of the Qin army about fifty meters, and many Qin heavy infantry quickly removed their shields, and then held a throwing spear inserted in the ground in their hands and made a throwing posture.

"Throwing !!"

Thousands of spears were thrown into the formation of Qi officers and soldiers after a single order.

Two seconds later, many Qi troops, who couldn't react at all, were easily nailed to the ground by the throwing spears that fell to the ground.

Many people don't know what such a situation is all about, but continue to charge.

However, the spearmen may not be as fast as the archers, but they are still much faster than the crossbowmen.

After these spear throwers quickly threw the second spear, the troops in front of the Qi army reacted and rushed to the front of the Liaodong Army formation at an accelerated speed, preparing to break through the opponent.

But in contrast to many people who invested a third spear to try to stop the enemy from advancing further, the three hundred heavy infantry that had been subdivided into groups of five by Han Shin, and the mysterious troops scattered at the front of the entire battle line, took down a small gadget like a round melon from the hook around their waists.

"Pull!"

As the captain of the squad, they all said this order. And the people, including this Wu Commander, almost neatly and directly pulled up a ring mouth on the top of this iron bump.

"Throwing !!"

With this shout, the five people threw the iron lump in their hands almost at the same time.

About three seconds later, the iron bump that fell into the advance line of the Qi army exploded violently.

A small fireball almost overturned the Qi army with a radius of two or three meters, and in such a situation, while the fierce fireball was rising, there was also a rather huge "boom" sound.

The iron pieces that were blown open flew away, bringing a certain amount of damage to the nearby Qi troops.

If it weren't for the fact that the power of this kind of thing was not as scary as the movement, I am afraid that many Qi troops would subconsciously pull their legs and run.

Han Shin also saw such a thing, but Han Shin, who had already heard about it in the Battle of the Great Wall, became more and more curious about this weapon.

He didn't expect that this kind of thing named a grenade by Zhang Jiashi was actually disproportionate to the actual combat and the difficulty of production.

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

After Xu Fu's arrival, Zhang Jiashi had already given way to Moshu, who was built in Liaodong, and handed over the research and development of gunpowder weapons to Xu Fu.

But what Xu Fu inherited was not a mess, but the results of Mo Shu's progress after paying a considerable price.

This rather primitive black powder grenade is one of these achievements, and the progress is relatively fast.

Zhang Jiashi has three requirements for this kind of grenade: first, it can be made in a relatively light style, second, it can be detonated without using an open flame, and third, it can be safer when it is not in use.

In fact, the first requirement was solved by Zhang Jiashi by simply drawing the oval grenade of later generations, and the difficulty lies in the second and third points.

The problem of ignition without an open flame is also very easy to solve, after all, the alchemists are generally aware of the properties of some substances. Under such an idea, Xu Fu concocted a method given by Zhang Jiashi many times, and obtained a powder called white phosphorus, and then obtained a relatively reliable proportion of powder.

Of course, the way Zhang Jiashi gave Xu Fu to make white phosphorus shocked Xu Fu, because he never thought that that kind of urine or something could actually make a new thing.

It's just that he doesn't quite understand why Zhang Jiashi would say this kind of yellowish thing, called white phosphorus.

With this relatively reliable powder, Xu Fu led the alchemists in charge of this kind of project to continue the research on grenades.

After several accidents, Xu Fu knew very well that although these powders were relatively reliable, there was also a problem, that is, this powder could spontaneously ignite due to many factors, and then detonate the grenade.

After several failed attempts, Xu Fu, who had lost several of his subordinates, was able to abandon his original idea and instead use the powder as a fuse, and put it in this thing called a grenade before using it.

After many tests, Xu Fu developed a grenade that could indeed effectively complete Zhang Jiashi's requirements.

Of course, this grenade has many shortcomings that Zhang Jiashi did not see:

1: The power of this grenade is very small, even if it is the best proportion of black powder, the direct explosion power can only cause some people within two meters to suffer some minor injuries.

2: The construction cost of the grenade is quite large, because it is not something that can be made directly, but some parts need to be relatively fine processing to make the kind of grenade created by Xu Fu can be used, and not only the cost, the production time of these parts is also very long. This also shows the possibility of large-scale mass production of this kind of grenade, so Zhang Jiashi was directly silent.

3: The use of this grenade is too complicated, especially in terms of design, when the seal is not very good, it is used to hold a liquid that can react these powders to about 200 degrees, and it is easy to leak out. In this case, it means that there is a possibility that this thing will self-destruct.

Therefore, after hearing Xu Fu say these problems, Zhang Jiashi decided to give up the method of making grenade fuses with white phosphorus.

And such a grenade was also ordered by Zhang Jiashi to be tested and used on the battlefield for the last time under this circumstance.

Zhang Jiashi, who had to change his thinking, asked Xu Fu to conduct research on nitrohemp, because he knew very well that with the current level of science and technology, it was impossible to make that kind of reliable grenade or gunpowder weapon.

Perhaps this order has forced a lot of research to return to the "origin", but Zhang Jiashi, who knows very well that practicality is more important, can only choose the method that he has given up and hope to get certain results.

Therefore, after these grenades that are constantly thrown out on the battlefield are consumed, this kind of grenade that makes Zhang Jiashi work in vain will become a perfect sound.

......

This kind of large-scale firecracker, which is more like adding fragments, does not bring many casualties to the Qi army, because even those fragments cannot effectively harvest the lives of a few Qi infantry.

But the psychological pressure brought by this weapon to Qi Jun is not ordinarily small, at least, many people are made to ring in their ears by a rather loud noise. That's not the point, the point is that these people are actually in a daze in the middle of the battlefield.

You must know that such a situation on the battlefield is equivalent to giving up your life.

Many stunned Qi officers and soldiers were directly nailed to the ground by the spears thrown from the opposite side. If someone looked at the ground from the sky at this time, they would be able to see the area where the grenade exploded, and perhaps the number of Qi officers and soldiers who were nailed to the ground or pierced through the body by spears was more killed or injured than by the grenade.

Of course, it seems that this alone will not be able to repel the Qi army. Because many of the Qi troops had already engaged the front row of the three Liaodong Army battle formations.

The commander of the crossbowmen quickly ordered the troops to retreat, because in such a situation, it was imperative to have the second column of heavy infantry in the rear come up to support.

The Qi troops were unable to bring an effective breakthrough to the heavily armed Liaodong Army's heavy infantry, on the contrary, the Liaodong Army's heavy infantry units, which had been trained for a long time and had gained valuable combat experience in the last engagement, inflicted heavy casualties on the Qi officers and men as they cooperated with each other more and more skillfully.

It's just that in such a situation, it is not ordinarily difficult for the Liaodong Army to repel these Qi troops who rushed up in a moment and a half.

The battle between the two sides has fallen into a stalemate.

Sitting in the second column, he shook his head and sighed softly, because he knew very well that once they were entangled by the enemy, they would have to pay a great price.

Especially the current Qi army is not a rabble like the Wei army, and he doesn't know how much he has to pay to repel this attack of the other party, because he knows very well that it is pointless to dwell on this kind of loss now.

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

While the Jian army and the Qi army were in a stalemate on the battlefield, Wang Changjun and Zang Tu's army also began to engage in close combat.

Although Wang Changjun is not as good as the Intermediate Army in terms of quality, Zang Tu's army is also not a "soft persimmon" that can be compared with the Qi army.

After the front-line troops were overwhelmed, Zang Di gritted his teeth and ordered the follow-up troops to go to support. But Zang Di didn't expect that less than ten minutes after he gave this order, when many troops were far away from Zang Di's commander's formation, Li Cang led the army to rush over from the southwest.

When Zang Di found out about this situation, it was too late, because even if he had the idea of transferring the troops back, it was too late.

......

Many of the 10,000 knights under Li Cang's command were convict officers and soldiers with considerable battlefield experience.

As the vanguard captain, Duo Bu led the three thousand knights under his command, and suddenly rushed directly from the southwest of Zang Di's formation into Zang Di's main formation, which many people did not react to.

The personal guards under Zang Tu's command did not have time to form an effective resistance, and they were scattered by the knight troops led by Duo Bu.

Soon, the main formation of Zang Di, whose formation was disrupted, was gradually dismembered more and more by Di Bu and the main force of Li Cangbu, which came later.

"Hey!!" shouted, and after dodging the spear stabbed by a knight of the Zang Tu Army's personal guard, he backhanded a knife on horseback, and directly cut the opponent in two with a blade infused with internal force.

The other party let out a miserable scream, but Duo Bu didn't care, but said to Zang Di, who was from a big flag embroidered with a Zang character on one side, and hurriedly left from the other direction: "Anti-thief!!!

Dubu really wanted to slaughter the old ghost named Zang Di, but in such a situation, people kept coming out to intercept him, and he could only watch the fat in his mouth and slip away.

"MD!! Dead !!!! Whoever Stands in My Way"

Dubu, who was angry by such a situation, burst out with a strong momentum, and several Zang Tujun knights who teamed up to attack Dubu were solved by Dibu with three strikes and five divisions.

However, when Tu Bu was slowly adjusting his breath, he found that Zang Di had disappeared, and he was so angry that his teeth itched, because he really didn't expect that an old ghost could run so fast.

He was about to shout a few words when he suddenly saw a carriage running south from more than a hundred meters away.

"Hmm???" Duo Bu was a little puzzled, and after blocking a Chang Ge stabbed by a Zang Tujun guard, he slashed the long knife in his hand at the other party's shoulder.

A mist of blood erupted, and the knight was slashed straight from his right shoulder to his left rib by the cloth.

After looking around a little and didn't know where Zang Di was, he gritted his teeth and said to the guards behind him, "Follow me!!"

The target of the cloth is the carriage. After all, in such a situation, there is a carriage with him, maybe he is a stunning beauty or a person that Zang Di pays attention to.

Tu Bu, who led the team to pursue the carriage, didn't expect one thing, that is, his idea this time, it can be said that he guessed all of them......

...
