Chapter 484: The battlefield on both sides is deadlocked
"Since it is a salvo, if you want to adjust the target, the interval between its attacks will be long, and at this time, we can rush up a certain distance. Therefore, the equipment of our army can be dispersed to delay the attack of the Zhao army's catapults. Or, with a tun, 100 people as a unit, each with a device to advance, a total of more than 100 equipment, more than 10,000 elite soldiers to attack the city, then the Zhao army to attack my A, then B, attack B, C, if our army dozens of equipment, thousands of elite soldiers can reach the city wall, then the city and the city will be broken! The Lieutenant further explained.
"Zenya!" Qing Qin couldn't help but praise: "But there is another three? ”
"Three." Du Wei swallowed his saliva slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "It is the distance to the close, the last general will look at it, it is better to take twenty to thirty steps, and then I am afraid that it will be broken by stone bullets, and if it is closer, there is a danger of fire attack, such a distance can not only suppress and kill the Zhao army of the city wall, but also avoid the destruction of equipment!" "Obviously, this is one of the mistakes that the Lieutenant just made, and if you look into it, it is really not a small mistake.
Even if it is not enough to kill immediately, and if you are defeated, it will be difficult to get out of the battle. Fortunately, Du Wei obviously used his previous witty answer to pass the test on Qing Qin's side.
Qing Qin naturally saw the mistake made by Du Wei under the city wall, and Qing Qin naturally understood the reason for the fact that Du Wei was cautious now.
Immediately relieved: "The defeat of this battle is not your fault, but the reason why Zhao Jun's catapult is too demonic." You can find a way to crack it from the first battle, and your merits are greater than your faults. Hearing this, Du Wei's face suddenly became excited, he knew that the trick of coming to report with injuries had worked!
"Let's take care of the injuries." Qing Qin waved his hand lightly and said to the captain: "And rest for a few days, the battle in the coming day, the broken and the broken, there will be your merit, and when you return to the country after victory, the position of the general will be invited by you." ”
"Thank you, General." When the lieutenant heard this, he was suddenly surprised, and immediately thanked him. Of course, in the heart of the lieutenant, perhaps what is more worthy of joy is not the position of the general, but the implied meaning in Qing Qin's words - he can rest justifiably, and he doesn't even have to participate in the follow-up battles?
The despair just now under the tower of the city and the city, Du Wei obviously didn't want to experience it again. In comparison, the position that can be promoted sooner or later does not seem to be tempting.
In any case, a battle that lasted only two and a half hours finally came to an end. The army of Yan slowly retreated back to the camp, and above the city tower, the soldiers of the Zhao army also jumped up one after another!
Victory came too easily! Not only the ordinary soldiers of the Zhao army, but even Sun Gu, a general who is good at defense, saw the Yan army retreating in embarrassment, and felt a little unbelievable - this is a win?
Didn't even wield the knife in your hand a few times? Not even a few drops of blood were seen on the tower? A massive attack was repelled by himself?
! Only Zhao Kuo, who was standing on the top of the city tower, knew: There is only one such victory.
Although the catapult is powerful, it is far from the point where it can completely change the situation of the battle, and this time, it is just a surprise to the Yan army.
However, the Yan army has damaged so many siege equipment, and it may be difficult to attack again in a short period of time!
"Stop the warriors from cleaning up the battlefield." Zhao Kuo immediately explained: "Pay attention to taking turns to arrange rest, the Yan army will definitely make a comeback, and you can't take it lightly." ”
"Yes." Sun Gu immediately received the order. After that, Zhao Kuo didn't say much, and then accompanied by Zhao Ping, they went down to the city tower together, and the artillery camp has made a lot of contributions today, but there are still many things that need to be improved.
And with Zhao Kuo's departure, the cheers above the city tower became more and more enthusiastic. Just as Zhao Kuo thought, the retreating Yan army outside the city, when they returned to the camp, immediately arranged for the reconstruction equipment.
Qing Qin knew that without siege equipment, it would be a fool's dream to capture the city, even if he had enough troops.
It's just that so many siege equipment have been lost, if you have to start from scratch, even if the craftsmen of the Yan army rush to work day and night, it will take a lot of time.
Fortunately, these instruments are not all that Yan Jun carried. Qing Qin, who had long known that Zhao Kuo was present in the city, never thought that he would be able to take it in one battle, so there were nearly half of the siege equipment, and he did not leave the camp at all.
Therefore, although Qing Qin needed more siege equipment, the time was not as much as Zhao Kuo imagined.
Two days is enough. Just when Yan and the Yan army outside the city were working hard for the siege equipment, outside Handan City, the Yan army finally arrived.
Compared with the great victory of Yan and the city, the battle of Handan City was obviously much bloodier. Both sides were not polite, one came to heat up the battle, fortunately, although the Yan army had many soldiers, it was on the offensive, and the quality of the soldiers was very average, and although the strength of the Zhao army was less, the 20,000 troops who had followed Zhao Kuo were also elite enough, and it was not false to face several times the enemy.
After a day of fighting, it ended with the Yan army losing 2,000 soldiers and the Zhao army losing hundreds of soldiers. It's just that King Yan is obviously not panicking, after all, in terms of troops, the Yan army still has an absolute advantage.
And the prime minister of the state also seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, and even let the army take turns to attack Handan, without giving the guards time to rest.
But fortunately, Handan City now has as many as 40,000 troops, and he is not afraid of the Yan army's repeated attacks.
It seemed that he also felt the emergency situation on the front line, and King Zhao didn't do anything at this time.
All of a sudden, the two battlefields of Zhao were in a state of anxiety, and between the city of Yan and the city of Handan, Li Mu was also rushing towards the back road of the Yan army with 30,000 Zhao troops.
Li Mu knew very well that what he wanted to do was not to completely annihilate the Yan army in Handan, as long as he could defeat his troops and relieve the siege of Handan, it would be enough, and more importantly, he would return to the city and the city!
There, the general was resisting the army of Yan with the least number of troops. In the rush of the Zhao army, one day and two nights passed quickly, the early morning sun sprinkled on the earth again, and the Yan army outside the city finally made all the preparations before the battle again!
......The whimpering horn sounded again, and outside the south gate of the city, the neat military formation of the Yan army assembled again.
Siege equipment such as arrow towers, ladders, and catapults were slowly pushed out again, and the number was only a lot more than a day ago, but this time the equipment was even more uneven.
Even the east and west are completely organized. Faced with such a situation, Zhao Kuo frowned deeply, without him, such a scattered position was obviously intentional by the Yan army, as for the purpose, Zhao Kuo also immediately thought of it - to avoid the intensive attack of his own catapult.
Although he knew the purpose of the Yan army, for a while, Zhao Kuo really had no good way to deal with it, and could only watch as the siege equipment on the opposite side was pushed into the line of infantry one by one.
Of course, there are pros and cons to everything. The dispersion of the Yan army's siege equipment undoubtedly greatly reduced the power of the Zhao army's stone throwing vehicles, but also weakened the power of the siege equipment even more.
Needless to say, catapults can only inflict fatal damage on the city walls if they are bombarded together.
The arrow tower, due to the limited number of people on board, needs to cooperate with each other to complete the uninterrupted suppression of the enemy army in the area.
Although Zhao Kuo knew that Yan Jun could come up with a way to deal with his own stone throwing cart, he didn't expect it to be like this
The method of "killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred yourself". On the other side, Yan Jun has practiced Seven Wounds Boxing? The countermeasures gradually formed in Zhao Kuo's mind...... Just when Zhao Kuo was about to give an order, the drums in the Yan army sounded again, and tens of thousands of Yan troops were once again under the command of General Qing Qin, slowly advancing towards the south gate of the city!
"A group of five cars, hit the arrow tower first!" Zhao Kuo looked at the array of Yan Jun in front of him, and said to Zhao Ping on the side.
"Yes!" Zhao Ping quickly received the order. Then he counted the distribution of the arrow towers with the craftsmen on the side, and roughly recorded the general location on the bamboo slips, marked one, and a herald took the bamboo slips down the city tower and handed them over to the soldiers of the artillery battalion.
Subsequently, the 30 stone throwing trucks in the artillery battalion, in groups of five, adjusted their positions one after another, preparing for the first round of launches!
That's right, on the day of rest, not only was the Yan army hurrying to make siege equipment, but the Zhao army also rushed to produce twenty stone-throwing vehicles again in this short one-day period, and at the same time, according to the experience of the last battle, the stone-throwing vehicle position was moved back twenty steps as a whole.
The purpose is self-evident, in order to fatten the siege equipment that is pushed to the vicinity of the city tower.
It can be said that the two armies of Yan and Zhao have done everything they can for this battle, but as for the result, they can only look at the battlefield.
With the addition of siege equipment, the Yan army, which was densely packed like locusts, flocked to the south gate of the city.
Almost at the same distance, the drumbeat of the Yan army became rapid again, and the Yan army immediately launched a charge against the city again in almost the same position.
On the top of the city tower, Zhao Ping no longer needed Zhao Kuo's reminder, and immediately waved the red flag in his hand.
Immediately after, several red flags rolled in the wind, and under the city tower, the artillery battalion that had already been prepared immediately let out their roar!
"Bang bang bang ......" is the sound of the instrument collapsing again. There was no accident, among the Yan army, the six arrow towers collapsed in response, and the broken stones were mixed with wooden blocks, and they smashed into the Yan army formation, fortunately, there were no people standing on the arrow tower, and the Yan army also deliberately adjusted the position, not too dense, which avoided too much secondary damage, Rao is so, dozens of people standing next to the arrow tower were still killed on the spot.
