After paying a huge price, the Qin army finally arrived under the tower of Yicheng.

The loss of troops is secondary, and the more important thing is the loss of siege equipment such as arrow towers, in the face of such a strong city, even if there are enough siege equipment, it takes a little effort, let alone the current situation.

But in Meng's eyes, this is not a big deal. After all, the day that they were waiting in Heyong City was for these siege equipment, so naturally it was impossible for the Qin army to prepare only such a wave.

Since the siege equipment is damaged, then just add it!

Immediately, Meng Fu ordered: "Order, the second echelon of the siege arrow tower, set off immediately, pay attention to widening the interval to avoid being destroyed by the Zhao army."

"Yes." The herald beside him immediately agreed.

Soon, the whimpering horn sounded again, and the neat military formation of the Qin army assembled again.

Siege equipment such as arrow towers and ladders were slowly pushed out of the rear by the Qin army.

However, this time, these siege machines were not arranged in an array in order like just now. On the contrary, between the arrow tower and the arrow tower, and between the arrow tower and the cloud ladder, they are almost eight zhang away.

Yes, under the pressure of the Zhao army's catapults, the Qin army dispersed all the siege equipment that should have been used intensively.

Of course, this greatly reduced the power of the Zhao army's stone throwing vehicle, and under the original covering attack, several arrow towers could be destroyed with one blow, and under this separation, it was instantly reduced to one. Even if Zhao Jun's reload is fast, its results will be reduced by half.

At the same time, the huge spacing is also more conducive to the siege equipment to make temporary evasive maneuvers without worrying about collisions and affecting other equipment.

Obviously, with such a move, the threat of Zhao Jun's catapult will be minimized.

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything. Although this split march was conducive to avoiding the Zhao army's catapults, it also weakened the power of the Qin army's own siege equipment.

Especially for the arrow tower, due to the limited number of people it carries, it is necessary to cooperate with each other in order to complete the uninterrupted suppression of the enemy crossbowmen in the area.

Often, in battle, it takes two to three arrow towers to shoot at the archers on a section of the city wall, and if you want to suppress it, you need three to four arrow towers to complete.

The most important thing is that the distance between these arrow towers must not be too far. Otherwise, under the poor communication, the cooperation will definitely not be tacit, which will inevitably increase the difficulty of suppression.

Moreover, once the distance is too far, it is impossible to form a suppression of the same section of the wall.

Obviously, this is a trick of "killing a thousand enemies and inflicting eight hundred self-damage".

As for fine-tuning when you get to the city downstairs?

The crossbow on the tower is no less powerful than the catapult! Although adjustments can also be made, it is almost inevitable to pay the price of the lives of the soldiers of the Qin army.

However, the matter has come to this point, and Meng Fu can only take one step at a time.

In any case, in the face of the current situation, Qin Jun can be regarded as making another move, and it depends on how Zhao Jun responds.

On the top of the city tower, Lian Po saw the siege equipment slowly launched by the Qin army almost immediately, and naturally at a glance, he understood what the general on the opposite side wanted to do.

There is a way, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.

"A group of five cars, hit the arrow tower first!" Almost without thinking, Lian Po gave the order to the lieutenant of the artillery battalion.

"Yes!" The captain of the artillery battalion also received the order immediately

Immediately, the captain and the soldiers in charge of surveying and mapping on the side carefully wrote down the distribution location of the Qin army's arrow towers, as well as the direction and speed of the march.

Soon, the graphic data marking the location of the Qin army's arrow tower was handed over to the soldiers of the artillery battalion under the city tower.

Without the slightest hesitation, the catapults in the artillery camp immediately changed formations, and dozens of catapults, in groups of five, adjusted their positions one after another and began to fire stone projectiles according to the latest position data.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

With Zhao Jun's artillery battalion, they roared again! The Qin army had just been pushed to the front

In the group of arrow towers, five more arrow towers collapsed in response.

The broken stones were mixed with wooden blocks, and they smashed into the Qin army's formation, but fortunately, there were no people standing on the arrow tower, and the Qin army also deliberately adjusted the position, not too dense, so as to avoid secondary damage, Rao is so, dozens of people standing next to the arrow tower were still smashed.

Meng Fu's brows finally furrowed, and it seemed that even if he pulled a distance, he still couldn't stop Zhao Jun's accurate stone bullets.

If you go down at this pace, I'm afraid that my second round of arrow towers will stick to the bottom of the tower, and there won't be much left! Even if the Qin army is very well prepared, it can't withstand such a build!

Although only five arrow towers are nothing to the Qin army, the possible follow-up problems really make Meng Fu really anxious.

However, at this time, a small accident on the battlefield was a wake-up call for Meng Fu.

It turned out that an arrow tower had temporarily changed the route of the march due to a collapsed storm on the march route ahead, but it miraculously survived.

Seeing this scene, Meng Fu's eyes lit up instantly: it seems that Zhao Jun's catapult doesn't have eyes!

Immediately, Meng Fu understood that the catapults of the Zhao army were nothing more than bows and arrows, estimating their own marching distance and route, and launching and destroying them at the same time.

As long as it is not aimed directly, Meng Fu immediately has a strategy to deal with the enemy.

"Heralds." Meng Fu then waved his hand and said, "Arrow Tower Phalanx, immediately abandon the neat march, and use the strategy of winding march to break the preset of the Zhao army's catapults, change the speed of the march, and avoid the attack of the catapults."

"Yes." The herald next to him immediately agreed again.

Soon, the order was in place.

Immediately afterwards, there was a strange scene on the battlefield, the Qin army, which was originally in a strict formation, suddenly thought as if they were all drunk, and played drunk madness on the battlefield.

The two steps are not much different from Zhao Si.

The queue of arrow towers, which was originally almost in unison, instantly turned into a wavy line of potholes, and not only that, but these arrow towers also made an S bend on the battlefield, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right. Even the tun chief in charge of the arrow tower didn't know the next moment

The direction in which your own arrow tower will appear.

What stands out is that one is freewheeling and unpredictable.

How to say it, even Meng Fu himself didn't see it.

In order to avoid the catapult of the Zhao army, the Qin army obviously fought hard!

However, such a marching army did restrain the attack of the Zhao army's catapults.

Even if you can launch at a fixed point, where you can point, but I don't go to the point you think at all, and even I don't know what my path and speed are, what can you do with me?

No, Zhao Jun's catapult pounced for the first time after the Qin army adjusted its marching method.

Dozens of stone bullets, apart from killing dozens of unlucky Qin troops, almost did no damage to the Qin army's arrow tower.

This is the disadvantage of defending the city, and the initiative is never on your side. This is also the reason why catapults tend to be used more often for offense. After all, the city is there, adjust the angle and weight, and smash it over and over again!

Looking at the front line, Meng Fu was able to make such an accurate judgment in such a short period of time, and decisively gave the order. Wang Yi, who had been watching the battle from the high platform of the Chinese army, was also relieved.

On the battlefield, if you can anticipate the enemy's opportunity, it is naturally the best. However, as a general, you will always encounter your own unknown territory.

At this time, it is time to show the ability of a general.

In this battle, in the face of the catapult suddenly taken out by the Zhao army, Meng Fu not only did not panic and maintained the calmness that a general should have, but also captured the enemy's weakness in an extreme time and then broke through.

Wang Yi asked himself, even if he was on the front line, I am afraid he would not be able to do better.

Obviously, in the course of the battle against the Zhao army, Meng Fu's growth was almost leapfrogging. Wang Ji knows: the lord of the next generation of the Qin army

will, finally grow up.

Of course, not only Wang Yi sighed, but even Lian Po on the upper floor of Yicheng City had to sigh that the Qin army was the Qin army in the end, and the adaptability on this battlefield alone was not comparable to the army of ordinary countries.

You know, this is not the first time that a modified catapult has been launched.

As early as five years ago, when Zhao Kuo led 5,000 troops to defend the city alone, he used such catapults to block the attack of the Yan army.

At that time, the Yan army did not change its formation as quickly as the Qin army. Even in the attack for several days, he didn't think that he could avoid the opponent's attack by disrupting his own pace.

Of course, the enemy has changed, and Zhao Jun will naturally not rest on his laurels.

"Herald Battalion." Lian Po immediately ordered: "Give up the estimation of striking one by one, concentrate firepower, and block the distance of 300 or 200 steps outside the city."

"Yes." The herald immediately agreed.

Since you can't estimate the route of the enemy's march, you have to get close to the castle tower.

Then I will directly block one of the nodes of the road you must pass, such as the distance of three hundred steps from the city tower.

Of course, the catapult is not a heavy machine gun after all, and even if it is reloaded quickly, it will take time. And this reloading time is enough time for many turrets to cross this dangerous line.

However, because of the uneven movement of the Qin army's arrow towers, as long as you block a line and keep smashing it, you can still destroy a lot of arrow towers.

This is clearly a reluctant compromise.

But for today's situation, it can only be regarded as how much can be destroyed.

In this way, under the skillful response of Meng Fu, one of Zhao Jun's hole cards was neutralized in silence.

Of course, this is not to say that Zhao Jun's catapult is useless. Even with the conventional tactics of blockade, the losses of the Qin army's arrow towers and other siege equipment were still more than a quarter.

This loss is obviously acceptable to both Qin Jun and Zhao Jun.

Of course, while the second batch of siege equipment was struggling to advance towards the city tower, the Qin army under the city tower was not idle, although the number of arrow towers was not enough, but the number of ladders was still enough!
