That day.

Zhang Qi brought out a hundred craftsmen from the world of riding and slashing who were good at building siege equipment.

Then he summoned Hu Shui and asked him to bring these 100 people down and be responsible for building siege stone throwers and ballistas that are common in the world of riding and slashing.

Of course, the production materials are also brought out from the world of riding and chopping, except for trees, which are relatively heavy materials, and the trees used in the outside world, other accessories are brought out by Zhang Qi.

As the first batch of siege equipment to be studied, the riding and cutting stone throwing machine and ballista have long been played by these craftsmen.

After several generations of iterative improvements, today's catapults and ballistas are much more powerful than the original ballistas and catapults in the world of riding and slashing.

Whether it is power, range, or accuracy, it is not comparable to the original equipment in the riding and slashing world.

The reason why Zhang Qi chose to use these two instruments is because of the high proficiency of the craftsmen, and because of the simplicity.

Naturally, there are more powerful siege equipment, but in the face of the Han army, which does not even have a city wall, it is a bit condescending to take it out.

The craftsmen and the soldiers rushed to make it day and night, and in nine days, they assembled twenty ballistas and ten stone throwers.

It's not that we can't build more, but if we do more, we will reduce our combat effectiveness somewhat.

A catapult requires a lot of manpower, not to mention more than 20 people to play.

Ballistas are slightly better, but they also require four or five men to handle one.

The siege equipment was transported out of the camp as soon as it was assembled.

These big guys can't be fast, even if the craftsmen have installed the bottom wheel when they assemble it, but the weight is there.

Fortunately, the Han army's current focus is on building a wall, and the guerrilla army is attacking and harassing all the time, so they have no time to worry about anything else, and the siege equipment can safely arrive at the battleground.

Inside the big tent.

Zhang Qi stood in front of the sand table, deducing the possible variables of the battle situation over and over again.

Ultimately.

After nine more days of thinking.

Zhang Qi gathered the exquisitely shaped soldier villain on the sand table together with both hands, and pushed it in the direction of the Han army.

"Think Nima, Lao Tzu All-in!"

"All the troops press!"

"Herald! All departments seize the time to rest, cook tomorrow on the third watch, and set off on the fourth watch! ”

"No!"

——

The night still covers the land.

But in the camp, the drums beat one after another.

The ethereal aroma of cooking smoke made many of the Xiongnu herdsmen who had joined the service swallow their saliva.

Cattle and sheep were slaughtered in advance and were being roasted at the moment.

Sprinkle salt, smear syrup, and use spices that Zhang Qi has selected from a variety of Chinese medicines.

The soldiers feasted.

Although they can let go of their stomachs to eat, they know that it is enough to eat seventy percent full.

In addition to eating, Zhang Qi distributed fruit wine with a low degree before the fourth watch day was approaching.

He lifted the clay bowl and drank it down.

There were no extra words, the bowl fell, and he roared: "Get on the horse!" ”

The sound of a bowl breaking.

30,000 guerrilla troops, 17,000 Liaodong troops, and 8,000 Xiu Tubu warriors responded one after another.

In the past ten days, King Hutu has promised to surrender to Zhang Qi's personal charm and official position.

With his connection, the warriors of the Eight Thousand Slaughter Division can also be used as a force.

War horses galloping.

At dawn, they came to the boundary of the Han army camp only twenty miles away.

The herdsmen and personal cavalry who had transported siege equipment in advance were already waiting.

The three hundred guards cavalry were replaced by the armored cavalry armor brought by Zhang Qi and them, and the seventy-five elite armored cavalry were still silent warriors.

"Move forward!"

Under the rising sun, Zhang Qi painted the dragon and the halberd pointed straight ahead.

And the Han army has already sent back news from sentinels.

Wei Qing nodded calmly.

Although the walled city was not completely repaired, he had long been prepared for an early attack by the Huns, and gave priority to the construction of fortifications to the north.

The scattered rejection of horses could hold back the onslaught of the Hun cavalry and that cavalry.

The three-story log wall can give soldiers who are used to defending the city a place to rely on.

There are many arrow towers, and the height determines the range.

After putting on his armor, Wei Qing walked out of the big tent.

Looking at a general who had already put on armor, Wei Qing looked at Gongsun He,

"Uncle Zi, in this battle, our department is the main force, with the army formation to resist the enemy, your troops will ride out, bypass from the west, wait for the battle situation to be anxious, and take the enemy general!"

"No!"

“.”

"No!"

“.”

"No!"

One pre-war order after another was issued.

The huge Han army began to operate.

The light chariot soldiers and cavalry were taken out by Gongsun He from the west and went around to Zhang Qi's rear, or waist and abdomen.

A large number of Han troops armed with shields and spears formed in front of the log walls.

The crossbowmen climbed the walls.

A series of rhubarb crossbows have already been erected.

The city wall is newly built, and it is made of wood, you can't say that it has no defense, but it is destined not to be too much, its role lies in the geographical advantage, and to give countless soldiers a stable support.

But the key to the battle is still people.

Woo –

Woo woo –

Woowoo woo –

Trumpets sounded on both sides.

The drums beat loudly.

When the sun jumps over the mountain line.

The two armies were less than three miles away.

log on the city wall.

Wei Qing looked at Zhang Qi's side.

And on the war horse, Zhang Qi also looked at Wei Qing.

The general only needs to die in a hundred battles, so why should the horse leather shroud be returned!

"Stop!"

Zhang Qi painted the dragon and lifted the halberd.

The tens of thousands of troops came to a quiet halt.

Only the warriors of the Hugh Slaughter Department at the back were still a little noisy.

Zhang Qi glanced at the military village in front of him.

On the high ground, there is only one way to attack ahead.

But at this moment, the flat grass was scattered with countless rejecting horses, and it was impossible to think about charging the battle with cavalry.

Zhang Qi's halberd shook lightly.

"The Liaodong Army dismounted! Formation! Siege machine followed! ”

The 17,000-strong Liaodong Army dismounted one after another and formed a dense military formation.

The Liaodong Army was originally the infantry that Zhang Qi trained to use as the middle armor infantry, and they were used to attack the Huns only by the effect of saddle stirrups.

Although it is not bad to use, what the Liaodong Army is best at is still foot combat.

With the spearman and shield hand in front and the single knife hand behind, the Liaodong army slowly marched towards the Han army's fortress under the urging of drums.

Of course, they are not there to kill the enemy, but to clean up the rejection horses.

Squeak.

Thirty siege machines slowly followed behind the Liaodong Army.

The soldiers who wielded the instruments also carried their shields.

The ammunition was towed by horses, thirty pieces of equipment, and about a thousand ordinary steppe horses.

Zhang Qi was ready to use the instrument directly to the point of damage.

"General, how to deal with it?"

On the city wall, a general asked.

"Are there plenty of rhubarb crossbows?"

"Abundant! 100 rhubarb crossbows can use 37,000 crossbow arrows! ”

"Then shoot first! Let the soldiers find the feeling! ”

"No!"

The general pulled two small flags from his waist, ran to the side and back, and waved them at the soldiers who wielded the big yellow crossbow.

"Yellow Crossbow Ready ——!"

A creaking squeak, a string twist.

"Target enemy formation! Put! ”
