Chapter 20: The Great Wall Bloodstone 5
readx;?? Many of the slaves in the hands of the Donghu people can be said to have no more formal names. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info.d.m (debut) Of course, these many slaves who don't even have names, now with their contemporaries, living in the territory of the Great Qin Empire, are only fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps, after all, many people take Bo Zhong Shuji as the name, and a village is not without a joke of shouting Uncle Wang or others, and there will be several people turning back at the same time.
Of course, this is not the point of the current scene, the point is that these slaves, who many people don't know their names, never thought that if they did this, they would let Zhang Jiashi directly order to shoot.
"Put !!"
Under the orders of the commanders of the Qin army's crossbowmen, a large number of crossbows quickly broke away from the crossbow channel and flew towards the slaves who were about to approach the first trap after the trigger was pulled.
Many of the crossbowmen belonging to the county soldiers of Liaodong County were not as easy to command as the main troops under Zhang Jiashi and the elite troops among the county soldiers of Liaodong County.
So they weren't aiming at the positions of slaves who didn't know they were being favored by death, but they shot their crossbows slightly off.
"Bang Bang!" A Qin army officer saw the direction in which the crossbow was fired, and directly slapped the crossbowman next to him twice.
The pouting crossbowman, who was not equipped with a helmet, suddenly had his cheeks red and swollen.
The commander of the Qin army, who slapped the crossbowman twice, said viciously: "If you want to be killed, I can help you, don't take an example!"
The crossbowman of the Qin army did not refute, but responded in a low voice to the commander of the Qin army in his team: "Huh!"
Many similar situations are happening in the aisles of the Great Wall.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi also saw this scene, and he couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen in front of him.
And after Zhang Jiashi came back to his senses, he really wanted people to stop this kind of thing from happening, but Bai Qi's voice stopped him.
"If you stop something like that, you're not a passing commander, and a lot of things, as long as it's not too much, a lot of people will do it, and a lot of people know what to do. You are now a general of the left, not an unknown little tun chief, a small hundred generals, some things, you manage too much, but it does you no good. ”
After listening to what Bai Qi said, Zhang Jiashi was stunned again.
Bai Qi added: "You haven't seen it, many people turn a blind eye to such a situation? ”
As Bai Qi said, in the position where Zhang Jiashi was in sight, many of the more senior officers of the Qin Army had no intention of stopping this kind of thing from continuing to happen.
They should know such a thing, it can be said that it is very normal, and in Zhang Jiashi's impression, many of the Qin army's teams have the existence of a war supervision team and the like.
The actions of these overseers, compared to these officers of the Qin army, are completely demons who crawled out of hell and specialized in harvesting human lives.
The corners of Zhang Jiashi's mouth squirmed, and finally he looked at the battle situation in front of him silently.
It was not so much to stop him from doing something stupid, but to teach him how to be the commander of a unit.
An excellent commander, what he has to do, is not to be meticulous in everything, to take care of everything, to participate in everything, a person who has to take care of everything, he will rarely get the trust of more generals and non-commissioned officers and soldiers in the army.
If you are not in his position, you will not do anything, and the meaning expressed in this sentence can also be applied to Zhang Jiashi.
As Bai Qi said, he is now not a tun chief, a hundred generals, but the left general of Great Qin.
......
The range of the pouting crossbow and the speed at which it is fired are faster than many hand crossbows and bed crossbows.
Therefore, less than six seconds after the rather sparse first wave of pouting crossbows were fired, many slaves with bags of sand and dirt felt a sharp pain in their bodies.
Many people were crying, because the damage caused by the Qin army's crossbow was quite large, although in addition to the crossbow arrows made of iron had barbs and blood grooves, the actual damage caused by being shot by the bronze crossbow was not less than that of the iron arrows.
Many of the slaves tried to pull out their crossbow arrows, but once they touched the severe pain from their wounds, many were in such pain that they could not exert their strength at all.
After many years of war, the killing method of cold weapons has been improved to a certain extent.
A few slaves in shabby fur clothes, a little better, they were able to pull out crossbows in fur clothes that were difficult to shoot through completely when they gritted their teeth, but slaves in sackcloth clothes were not so lucky.
Many people broke out in a cold sweat when they touched the crossbow that had caused them damage, and they never dared to try it again.
When the other slaves saw this, they hurriedly threw down the sack of sand that was on their shoulders, and then ran away.
The Donghu knights, who supervised the slaves, wanted to kill them, but they were also shot by some Qin crossbowmen.
Many Donghu knights, after screaming, quickly fell to the ground.
The leaders of these Donghu knights took a look, and from time to time someone was shot by a crossbow and fell to the ground, and then said loudly: "Withdraw !!"
Many Donghu knights, with their wooden spears or bronze swords, used their crossbows to remove the crossbows that had become easier to wield because of their long range, and then quickly reined in their horses' heads and turned around.
Many slaves thought that they would be able to escape their lives in this way, and the Qin army on the Great Wall pouted their crossbowmen and stopped their attacks one after another, which made the slaves of more than 5,000 people even more overjoyed.
It's just that Zhang Jiashi has no intention of opening the city gate and letting them escape into the Great Wall.
It's not that Zhang Jiashi didn't save him when he saw death, but it was strange that Zhang Jiashi ordered to stop shooting, and Ruan Weng Shao, who came to ask, quickly knelt on the ground after hearing Zhang Jiashi's plan, clenched his fists and said: "My lord, if among these people, there are Donghu people's fine work, what should I do?"
When Zhang Jiashi heard this, he suddenly fell silent.
And Bai Qi knew that Zhang Jiashi had a benevolent temperament and didn't want these people to die in front of them.
But he knew better that Nguyen Weng Thieu's worries were not unreasonable.
"I know you don't want these people to die in front of you, in many ways. In your heart, they don't deserve to die. But you have to be clear that the words of Ruan's two or five hundred lords are not impossible. If 1,000 of them were arranged by the Donghu people, what would you do to make up for the mistakes you have made because of this?"
"......" Zhang Jiashi looked at Ruan Weng Shao, looking at the thousands of slaves who kept running over, he shook his head, and said to the flag officer in front of him: "Send an order, if those people get too close to the Great Wall, throw stones from it, and make them retreat." ”
The flag officer was very strange why Zhang Jiashi would say such an order, but just like his identity, Zhang Jiashi's order was what he wanted to convey.
Many Qin officers and soldiers who were responsible for observing the flag language quickly explained the gestures made by the flag language officer.
Many Qin officers did not want to do this, but as Zhang Jiashi's order, they just mourned for these poor slaves in their hearts, and shouted to their nearby subordinates to prepare.
Zhang Jiashi said to Ruan Weng Shao: "Lord Ruan 2500, your worry is a situation that I must pay attention to. As you said, I can't risk making my intolerance a joke at the cost of more people's lives. ”
After Zhang Jiashi said this, there was a trace of loneliness and helplessness in his eyes.
But in Ruan Weng Shao's eyes, Zhang Jiashi looked at the Donghu formation in the distance like a tide, and flashed a trace of cold killing intent.
......
Ruan Weng Shao's worries, as well as Bai Qi's advice, are, in a sense, unfounded. Because the Donghu people didn't think of doing this at all.
But this is the battlefield, there is a war going on, and in Bai Qi's eyes, there are only two kinds of people on the battlefield, one is the dead, and the other is the people who can survive. ,
He knew very well that Zhang Jiashi had to be familiar with this truth. Otherwise, Zhang Jiashi would never have been an excellent group leader.
Perhaps, something is to be lost by doing so. But as one of the most cruel places in the world, there is no benevolence and morality on the battlefield, and there is no hypocrisy. The woman may survive this time, but he will never be able to lead the army to victory.
On the battlefield, only those who dare to kill can better achieve victory for themselves and fight for more survival opportunities for their subordinates.
Under Bai Qi's advice, Zhang Jiashi gave this order that he had said he could never agree with before.
Many slaves who approached were killed and injured by all kinds of stones thrown down from behind the battlements of the Great Wall.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jiashi closed his eyes helplessly and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." ”
It wasn't that he hadn't tried to get the slaves to escape elsewhere. But I don't know if it was because the situation of the slaves below was too chaotic, or if Zhang Jiashi let some high-voiced Qin officers and soldiers directly ignore what they said to these people.
A large number of slaves continued to rush closer to the Great Wall.
Many people were smashed to the head by the stones thrown from the Great Wall, but the people behind actually trampled on the bodies of the slaves in front of them, trying to climb the walls of the Great Wall, which were not too high in their eyes.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Jiashi said to the flag officer: "Order the crossbowmen of the Beacon Tower to face these people who are close to the city wall...... Shoot the arrows!"
"Wow. ”
The flag officer quickly waved the sackcloth banner in his hand again, and on the nearby beacon tower, many Qin army crossbowmen saw the command of the flag commander and fired arrows at these slaves.
Zhang Jiashi could hear the screams coming from below the city. But he slowly closed his eyes and shook his head.
These thousands of lives were basically killed under his orders, but he knew that no matter what it was, it was impossible for him to risk letting these people enter the south of the Great Wall with his family in Dingxiang County and the hundreds of thousands of people south of the Great Wall.
"Perhaps, I will not be able to clear the title of butcher in the future. Zhang Jiashi said this sentence that made Bai Qi silent.
In order to comfort Zhang Jiashi, Bai Qi said something that made Zhang Jiashi speechless: "People are just like this for a lifetime, and the person who cares about the infamy behind him is just an unrealistic fool." ”
Zhang Jiashi: "......"
......
The Qin army at the head of the city continued to carry out a one-sided massacre of the slaves under the city.
And the leader of the Donghu knights, who had lost dozens of people, said to Zabehe: "Great King, the Qin army does not regard these slaves as a thing at all. The slaves we escorted quickly became chaotic after being attacked by the Qin army. ”
After hearing this, Zabehe was rarely silent, and only looked at the defense line of the Great Wall for a while before muttering: "That young Qin dog is really beyond my expectations. ”
Zabehe knew very well that Zhang Jiashi was a rather tricky enemy, and the other party didn't care at all about these slaves who were no different from cannon fodder in the eyes of their Donghu, and even attacked these slaves as enemies equivalent to the existence of their Donghu people.
Looking at the outline of the Great Wall in the distance, Zabehe knew very well that these slaves had become more of an existence that was only used to consume the materials of the Qin army to defend the city.
He didn't mind having all of these slaves sent to their deaths. But for the Donghu people, many people are already dissatisfied with his forcible concentration of all slaves, because these slaves, for the Donghu people who own, are equivalent to the property of their own families. If he really sent all these slaves to die and consume the Qin army's materials for defending the city, I am afraid that after that, he, the king of Donghu, would still be able to command these tribal leaders and warriors?
Zabekh, who was already distressed by his prestige, naturally would not do such a thing, although it is beneficial, but in many cases it does more harm than good.
There is another factor that will affect the next development, that is, Zabekh can break through the Great Wall area of this place relatively smoothly after doing such a thing.
Zabekh, who was silent, was thinking about the benefits and disadvantages of the situation, and he was also thinking about how he should act.
In the end, he also decided to take a gamble.
After glancing at the leaders and warriors of the Donghu tribe near him, Zabehe said, "I will send all these slaves of Qin Dog to consume the enemy's strength. If you support the King, after this campaign is over, the King will give you priority to plundering the slaves of your choice. ”
Zabekh's words stunned many tribal leaders.
After all, for them, these slaves of the Qin people are their wealth and status symbols.
Because of the current Donghu, the strength of the leader of a tribe is not based on the number of people, but on how many slaves they have.
Perhaps, such a thing is a bit unfair to the leaders among them whose tribe is not too close to Great Qin. But that's exactly what happened.
They are also calculating their own gains and losses.
The leaders of some small tribes did not want such a thing to happen. But on this occasion, they didn't seem to have much to say, and they could only silently watch the reactions of the big tribal leaders.
In the end, Zabekh smiled, because many of the leaders of the great tribes, guided by his ideas, had gained the upper hand......
Subsequently, a large number of Donghu slaves, driven by the Donghu people, advanced towards the Great Wall defense line as a "vanguard" force.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
What does it mean to be in trouble?
After Zhang Jiashi saw clearly the advancing Donghu people, driving more slaves than just now, and rushing towards the location of the Great Wall where he was, Zhang Jiashi, who was extremely depressed, gestured to the sea of people in the north and made a standard gesture for later generations:
Zhang Jiashi, who stretched out a hand and then raised his middle finger, said directly: "!!"
After venting Zhang Jiashi, the Donghu people's plan is certainly not as simple as simply consuming his city defense materials.
Zhang Jiashi, who has not yet consumed the more than 5,000 slaves, can be said to have some of the Qin officers and soldiers under his command who have lost their skills.
If the tactics of these Donghu people are allowed to be used, I am afraid that it will only be a matter of time before he is attacked by the Donghu people.
Zhang Jiashi said to a herald: "You, order the catapult troops behind you to throw." ”
"Whew!" the herald quickly clenched his fists and led away.
......
In about a minute, he ran to the catapult formation a hundred meters behind the Great Wall, and the herald said loudly to Xia An, a disciple of the Mo family who was in charge of commanding the catapult troops: "General Zuo has an order, and the catapult is thrown !!."
Xia An nodded, and gestured with his eyes to a few junior disciples behind him, and several Momen disciples quickly clenched their fists and left.
Subsequently, a large number of catapult firing disks were placed on the triangular bronze spikes, which numbered about ten.
Many of the people who operated pulled the rope of the catapult one after another, so that the lever of the catapult launch disc became a curved bow, and a Qin army commander drew his saber and waited for the launch order.
One after another, someone shouted: "Ready!!"
After taking a look at the situation nearby, Cheyenne said fiercely: "Let !! go"
With Cheyenne's order, the catapults, which were arranged in three columns of 20 by 3 with an interval of about 20 meters, were quickly cut by the commander of the Qin army next to him, and the rope used for elastic suppression was violently cut with his sword.
The lever of the launch disk, which quickly bounced off due to the reaction force, quickly rose towards the sky with the help of gears.
The dense triangular bronze spikes quickly flew towards the sky to the north.
After flying for about three or four hundred meters, these triangular bronze spikes quickly spread over a section of the northern part of the Great Wall.
Of course, it was not without accident that some triangular bronze spikes smashed on the higher city gate tower and nailed to the wooden plank, startling the nearby Qin officers and soldiers and people.
Despite this happening, it was a very rare accident.
What exactly are these bronze spikes for?
Quite simply, it is used as a kind of scattering trap for the enemy to step on, and perhaps, the war horses of the Donghu people must also be unlucky.
Why is it designed in a triangular shape?
Quite simply, because this design is effective in making the spikes that are ejected always have one side facing upwards.
And the length of a spike of fifteen centimeters allowed the horses, including the war horses, to pierce the horseshoe and make the war horses of the Donghu people lose power.
Zabehe, who ordered Donghu's troops to drive the slaves forward, of course, did not know that Zhang Jiashi would do these gadgets that many people did not see the effect well.
But when most of the entire thirty thousand bronze spikes were projected into the wilderness of the path they had to pass, did it work...... Probably Zhang Jiashi can't say a situation,
...
