Chapter 437 In the evening, after the Qin army covered the artillery with a piece of cloth in the open, it was directly pushed to the river under the noses of the enemy.

They even laughed at the enemy for building too slowly, and all the sacrifices were put on the table, and they didn't even repair the platform.

In the face of the ridicule of the Qin army, the enemy army chose to turn a blind eye, they were not here to build any sacrificial platform, but only to monitor the Qin army.

After nightfall, only some of the enemy troops remained, and the others returned to the camp, while the Qin army did not retreat and continued to deliver supplies here.

In addition to artillery, the artillery corps had to set up catapults at night to throw bags of explosives. The catapults of the Qin army are not ordinary, and the firing range is no worse than that of artillery, which can well make up for the lack of firepower when the artillery is loaded.

There were only sporadic torches in the dark night, and there was no sight of what was going on on the other side of the riverbank.

Therefore, the enemy army was just paying attention to the sound of entering the water, and even filtered out the sound of ding-dong on the opposite bank, thinking that the Qin army was preparing for the sacrifice of the river.

Liang Sanpao personally supervised the riverside while directing the soldiers to carefully install the catapult. When the artillery corps was training in Xianyang, it was replenished with carrots every day, and it was better than the eyes of ordinary people in this era in the dark night, and it also practiced night combat, so this night workload was not a problem at all.

"Watch your step! You! Take the helmet with you, and watch out for the parts on it to fall off and open the scoop for you! ”

"Hey, hey, hey! Did you pretend not to see it? You're very clever in training, but when you really move, you have problems. ”

"It's all set up and resting here! Hurry up and help the others, let's finish it early and rest together! Hurry up! ”

"Who, get me some water, I'm dying of thirst." Liang Sanpao was running around by the river, and he was very busy.

"General Liang, take a break and drink saliva." Meng Tian's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"General, why are you here, just have me here, don't worry." Liang Sanpao said. Meng Tian looked at the huge catapult and said, "I can't sleep, General Ben has also experienced hundreds of battles, big and small, and this is the first time like today." Liang Sanpao said: "The last general is also very excited, after all, this is the first time that the artillery army has cooperated with the army, and maybe it will completely change the form of war as His Highness said." ”

"It's too early to make a complete change, after all, the defects of the artillery are also very obvious. But to a large extent, the artillery corps will slowly replace some of the positions of the crossbowmen, and there will be changes in siege and defense. ”

"What the general said is, it's no wonder that we can't sleep with excitement, but after tomorrow, we will be able to sleep well in such a war." Liang Sanpao said with a smile.

Meng Tian looked at the other side and asked, "Is there any movement on the other side?" Liang Sanpao said with a smile: "Although the enemy army is still on guard, there are only a few people left, and it looks like they are obviously sleeping comfortably under the torch." Meng Tian smiled and said, "This is the first time I've seen the enemy give us a great opportunity, and we can't let them down tomorrow." ”······ The night passed in the ding dong, and before dawn, a fast horse galloped all the way into the camp of the Zhao Wei coalition army.

Zhao Xie and Wei Ji were both alarmed and hurriedly got up.

"What's going on?" After entering the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Xie and Wei Ji asked at the same time. Zhang Er arched his hand and said: "King, King Wei, for some reason there was a wolf horse of the Qin army behind our army, which attacked the baggage of our army, and all the baggage was burned by the wolf horse of the Qin army, and all 50,000 soldiers and horses were scattered. ”

"What! Isn't the wolf riding in Jiujiang? No matter how fast it is! It can only be in the East! How will it be in Langya! Zhao Xie asked angrily.

Wei Ji was much calmer and asked, "Is there any news from Xiang Liang?" Zhang Er arched his hand and said: "The previous news is that Xiang Liang's grain and grass in Jiujiang was burned by the wolf rider, and then the wolf rider disappeared. Xiang Liang sent Xiang Bo to encircle and suppress, and Xiang Bo was in Donghui at this time, obviously guessing that the wolf was riding in the east, but obviously did not expect that the wolf had gone north to Langya. ”

"The Chu people are all a bunch of rubbish!" Zhao Xie sat in his position and said: "Now that our army's grain and grass have been burned, and the soldiers have been scattered, how can our army counterattack." ”

"The counterattack is already secondary, and now the most important thing is that the wolf rider is behind our army, and we may be flanked by the wolf rider and Meng Tian's army at any time." Wei Ji frowned and said.

"The wolf can't ride 5,000 men and horses, and our army has nearly 100,000 elite soldiers, are you still afraid of only 5,000 men and horses?" Zhao Yi patted the case and said.

Zhang Er hurriedly said: "King, don't despise the wolf rider, Xiang Liang's 30,000 army suffered a big loss in the wolf rider, and this time retreated to Fanxian." ”

"Okay, Strategist, tell me about it, what should I do next?" Zhao Xie leaned on his position and said.

Zhang Er arched his hand and said: "According to what Chen has seen, there is still a certain distance between the wolf cavalry and our army, and our army's food and grass are running out, and the best choice for our army is to withdraw the troops to the south and quickly encircle and suppress the wolf cavalry." ”

"Now our six-nation alliance army seems to be raising troops at the same time, but in fact, it is divided into three ways to fight, and the troops are scattered, compared to the Qin army, it is fighting big with a small one. Now, the best choice is to unite the soldiers of the six countries and make a desperate attempt to attack Hangu Pass! Zhao Xie looked at Wei Ji who was standing and asked, "What does King Wei think?" Wei Ji smiled and said: "If King Zhao also thinks it's okay, then our army will withdraw." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, let's prepare to withdraw the troops!" Zhao Xie stood up and said.

"The king is wise!" At this time, the happiest thing is Zhang Er. Zhang Er didn't want to confront Qin Jun here for a long time, because he understood that the longer the time dragged on, the Xue Jun's side would definitely come in, and then it would really be the worst situation.

Zhao Xie said: "Military advisor, you send someone to contact Xiang Liang, Langya County is estimated to be unable to hold it, our army will withdraw into Donghui County, and then enter Jiujiang to join its troops, and then fight against the Qin people." ”

"No, the minister will do it." Zhang Er was about to go out, when a soldier ran in, and even bumped into Wei Yi.

"King! Oh no! The Qin army has assembled on the other side of the river! There are also a large number of catapults, and it looks like they are ready to cross the river! The soldier said hurriedly.

"What!" Wei Ji was about to be angry, but after hearing this, he didn't care about being angry with the soldier, so he rushed out directly.

Zhao Xie also hurriedly jumped up, and then rushed out with Zhang Er. The drums soon sounded in the barracks of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces, and the soldiers who were still dreaming were suddenly awakened and hurriedly put on their armor and assembled.

By the time the army was assembled, the Qin army had already begun to cross the river, and Zhao Xie and Wei Ji looked at the Qin army in the river, their faces were very ugly.

"Boom!"

"Boom Boom!" After a loud bang, the large camp of the Zhao-Wei coalition army, as well as the catapult deployed in front of the camp, exploded greatly at the same time.

In just an instant, more than a dozen catapults of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces had been blown up, and the first half of the camp was blown out of three large pits, and when the flames were shining, the surrounding tents were ignited at the same time.

"This! What's going on! Zhao Xie was stupid. Wei Qi and Zhang Er were not much better, but the next explosion woke everyone in the Zhao and Wei coalition forces.

Just an hour ago, the Qin army had already assembled, and as long as an order was given, it was ready to cross the river.

Just as the Qin army was preparing to act, a flying eagle fell into the Qin army. So Meng Tian ordered to postpone it for half an hour.

In the artillery position of Liang Sancannon, Meng Wu appeared next to Liang Sancannon.

"Old General, you're here." Liang Sanpao was still a little empty when he saw Meng Wu at this time, after all, he demolished the old general's platform in front of him yesterday.

Meng Wu smiled: "Command you well, the old man is not a person who holds grudges, the old man is just like yesterday, just stand next to you and take a look." Liang Sanpao hurriedly took out an earplug from his arms, handed it to Meng Wu and said, "Old general, this is made of cotton and stuffed in your ears, otherwise the cannon will be too loud and will hurt your ears." ”

"Okay, that's up to you." Meng Wu smiled and put the earbuds on. After Meng Wu put on the earplugs, he suddenly felt that the whole world was quiet, and he couldn't even hear Liang Sanpao in front of him talking.

After Liang Sancang arranged Mengwu, he turned around and walked to the position, and went straight to the front of the largest cannon.

"Lao Qi, you will command, and I will personally operate this cannon." Liang Sanpao said to his lieutenant.

"Lao Liang! There's no such thing as you! Train you to grab the first one, forget it, this is also the first shot. Although Qi Er was full of dissatisfaction, he still let go.

Liang Sanpao said with a smile: "I'll shoot a shot, and then hand it back to you." ”

"Okay, okay, don't be crooked, otherwise Lao Tzu will laugh at you for the rest of your life!" Qi Er said.

"Fuck off! If you hit me crookedly, I can't beat crooked! Liang Sanpao said with a smile. After Liang Sangun took over the position of the main gunner, he began to raise his finger to calculate the bearing and distance to ensure that the first gun could hit the predetermined target with one shot.

After calculating the distance, Liang Sanpao began to fine-tune the muzzle, and after the adjustment, Liang Sanpao kissed the barrel of the cannon and said to the cannon: "It's up to you next." The sky was slightly bright, and the camp of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces suddenly sounded the drum of gathering generals.

Hearing this gathering drum, a smile appeared on the corner of Meng Tian's mouth, and he pulled out his sword and shouted: "Attack!" As the command flag fell, all the artillery spewed out a burst of fire at the same time, and then I saw a puff of smoke coming out of the muzzle, and the flowers had exploded on the other side of the river.

The shells of Liang San's artillery hit the farthest and exploded directly in the center of the enemy camp.
