Eight hundred and eighteenth chapter tactical change
Of course, the Qin soldiers also thought of this, so they had already made arrangements before the Jin army arrived.
Wooden fences, antlers and other objects were built on the back of the city wall in an attempt to block the Jin army's horses. Then, a number of archers were deployed to snipe the Jin army soldiers.
However, compared with solid city walls, how effective these temporary devices can be needs to be proven in practice.
It should be said that except for the lack of preparation, the Qin soldiers' tactics were still very reasonable.
Of course it is limited to the pure cold weapon era.
At the front is a giant wooden fence, the height of which is equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old child. Let alone a horse, even a person with nimble hands and feet would find it difficult to climb over it in a short time.
However, if you want to climb, you must have the ability!
In addition to the giant wooden fence, there are rows and rows of antlers waiting for you on the back floor.
As for the role of antlers in ancient wars, it has been said many times before that this kind of defensive facility is not of much use to humans.
Because people's steps are small and the antlers are relatively large, the possibility of people tripping over the antlers is relatively small.
As for the horse's legs, it's almost as easy as stepping on them.
Hum hum!
These defense facilities not only block the advancing speed of attacking troops, but also protect our own combat troops from harm.
After setting up several layers, it is the Qin soldiers who are responsible for the defense.
These Qin soldiers relied on these defensive measures to organize their attacks. After the wooden fence and the antlers, but before the Qin soldiers, there was another important piece of equipment that should not be ignored.
That’s the long curtain fabric!
The Jin army has not seen this rare thing for a long time. Since they mastered firearms and gradually increased their inventory, they often attack cities very quickly. The enemy army has not had time to react and organize an effective counterattack. They have succeeded.
Capture the city.
And now, they finally see the curtain again!
This proves that this group of Qin soldiers is difficult to deal with.
However, the power of Qin Bing only lasts until today!
And now, let the Jin army teach them a lesson!
Led by their guides, the Jin army rushed on horseback and finally arrived at the collapsed city wall. Before they could start their offensive posture, they encountered the first round of blockage from the Qin soldiers.
After all, it is normal for people to take advantage of their geographical location.
The Jin soldiers who rushed to the front were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. At this time, it was highlighted that Wang Mi's choice was extremely correct.
You see, this time, Wang Shilang didn't rush forward like crazy.
They actually retreated to the middle of the battle formation. Although Wang Mi did not do this intentionally, the objective consequences were like this.
Seeing the Qin soldiers' aggressive offensive, He Mai suddenly panicked.
"Zhiyuan, I leave this matter of troop formation to you, we all listen to you!"
It can only be said that at the critical moment, He Mai is still a person who is very aware of current affairs.
Wang Mi didn't refuse and started to arrange things naturally.
The defense facilities of the Qin soldiers indeed looked powerful and intimidating, but in Wang Mi's eyes, they were nothing more than mere charades.
It's easy to break through.
There are wooden fences and deer antlers in front of us, so we cannot use weapons with low strike range and no air superiority such as pistols.
Wang Mi quickly moved the archers to the front row to confront the Jin army first. In addition, after a brief glance, he discovered the loopholes in this defense method.
That loophole is so obvious, right in front of your eyes, that you can't ignore it even if you want to.
Be it the antlers or the fence, they all have holes.
Moreover, they are all made of wood!
Doesn't this thing catch fire?
After observing the situation, Wang Shilang sent out his ace troops.
Who else is the so-called ace unit?
Of course the artillery team!
Good steel must be used on the blade, and now this blade finally appears.
What are you waiting for?
"Amai, it's your turn!"
"I am coming!"
He Mai took off the cannon from his shoulders, jumped up and rushed forward!
It’s finally time for him, Lao He, to show his face!
"Tie on the cannon and shoot!"
"Shoot it on the curtain!"
Curtains certainly have advantages. They can make full use of the flexibility of cloth products to block the sharp tips of a series of cold weapons including arrow clusters, long knives, etc.
However, the disadvantages of curtains are also obvious.
Although this kind of curtain is made of relatively thick coarse fibers, it is still cloth, and as long as it is cloth, it is flammable.
This is unavoidable.
Although the curtain can block the arrows carrying the artillery, it cannot move the artillery that has been projected into other places.
So, He Mai took the lead and was the first to shoot the artillery into Di Qin's camp!
Burn it!
This arrow, whether high or low, can cause a huge fire, causing the Qin soldiers to run away with their heads in their hands!
The arrows were shot out, but He Mai's hands still stopped in mid-air, as if frozen.
Clusters of arrows flew out, and He Mai's mood was agitated.
His eyes followed the flying arrow clusters and landed on the Qin soldiers' camp.
Over there, the Qin soldiers had no intention of stopping their attack. They fired arrows desperately and fought with swords and guns, repelling wave after wave of Jin army brothers who had rushed to the front of the fence.
If we don't talk about the position and only judge the combat effectiveness, we have to say that Di Qin's soldiers are indeed good.
However, as long as it is a battlefield, there must be a stance.
If not, there would be no enemy or friend.
"Hit!" He Mai shouted excitedly. As long as the artillery fell, the fire would burst into flames in an instant!
Qin Bing is not in a desperate situation!
This is the first record!
A great achievement!
It's finally time for He Mai to show his face!
The bows and arrows carrying the artillery took advantage of the breeze and flew farther and farther. The height was just right, and they just crossed the tall wooden fence.
The antlers behind the wooden fence are not of concern to light weapons such as bows and arrows, and have no impact at all.
Then what?
Ju... actually missed the target!
The artillery passed over the antlers formation, then fell down, and exploded just a second before it touched the ground!
Bang!
The Qin soldiers threw them down.
However, what about fire?
Shouldn't it be a fire?
A prairie fire suddenly broke out, and then the Qin army's battle formation was in chaos, their helmets and armor were abandoned, and they were completely defeated!
This is what He Mai expected, and this is how it should have developed.
In the end, nothing happened. Although the artillery explosion caused a small commotion among the Qin soldiers, it was far from as violent as He Mai imagined.
It can't shake the overall situation.
"That's unreasonable!"
"loss!"
He Mai was so angry that he couldn't achieve his goal, but he didn't have to be too disappointed, even though he had lost the opportunity to make contributions.
But for the Jin army, the opportunity has just begun.
The moment after He Mai fired the arrow, countless artillery pieces flew over from behind him.
Fly into that half of the city wall.
Bang bang bang!
The Qin soldiers were blown over, and the thick curtain was no longer a barrier to protect the Qin soldiers, but became a weapon that forced them to die.
When the artillery hits the ground, the characteristics of the explosive determine it. It is more explosive than flammable.
However, although the flammability is a bit poor, there are so many cannons that can't be stopped!
Seeing the continuous artillery, one after another flew towards the Qin soldiers' battle formation, and then completely destroyed the Qin soldiers' battle formation. Behind the low city wall, it seemed to be a sea of fire. He Mai
I couldn't help but sigh.
"Zhiyuan, you are so good!"
"These artillery pieces are really used on the cutting edge!"
As soon as He Mai finished speaking, right in front of his eyes, a still complete curtain could have been hit by an artillery piece. The long black, almost airtight curtain suddenly burst into flames.
Fire.
It's burning!
The sky is burning red!
He Mai cheered excitedly. When he looked back, he saw that the long bow in Wang Shilang's hand was empty and he was drawing it back.
Such an accurate arrow was actually shot by Wang Mi!
How hateful!
This world is really unfair!
Xiao He wanted to get off to a good start, but God would not give him a chance, but Wang Mi, who was obviously an average martial artist and even worse in archery, could always take advantage.
It can be seen that there is no natural law in this world.
The arrow was extremely accurate, and Wang Shilang was very satisfied. He was already feeling very happy, and he felt even more happy when he vaguely heard He Mai's praise.
How could the Qin soldiers have imagined that that terrifying artifact was still in stock?
It was clearly invisible just now!
Although these Qin soldiers were a little reckless, they were not fools. They had just observed the situation on the tower.
Following the advantages of artillery and pistols, at the beginning, the Jin army's offensive was indeed very powerful, with an invincible posture.
However, this offensive soon gradually weakened.
No matter what, the Jin army was also a long-distance marching force, and the storage of baggage and ammunition was not as good as that of the Qin soldiers who fought as infants.
Seeing that the firepower of the Jin army had weakened, the Qin soldiers formed a battle formation and prepared to block them outside the city wall.
"I Have a Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Unexpectedly, just by changing their position, the Jin army's combat effectiveness suddenly became stronger again.
Not only did the soldiers' charge become more fierce, but even the artillery that had not been seen for a long time suddenly appeared.
Moreover, there are a lot of them.
Could it be that the Jin army was deliberately hiding its strength just now?
In any case, under the continuous attacks of artillery, the Qin soldiers gradually fell into a disadvantage, so they quickly changed their strategy.
Instead of sending out soldiers to charge, they all retracted back into the fence, like the tentacles of an octopus. Once retracted, it will be difficult for you to grab its handle.
However, the artillery falling from the sky quickly shattered Qin Bing's dream!
Ruthless!
After a burst of indiscriminate bombing, the Qin soldiers who shrank behind the fence were not spared and were injured one after another.
The fire broke out and the scene became a mess. No one bothered to put out the fire. They didn't even have time to find water.
Because the Jin army's offensive was continuous, after the fire attack, the Qin army's formation was in chaos, the battle formation could not be maintained, and the defense became disorganized.
Some soldiers continued to shrink to places where the artillery could not take care of them and continued to fight, while more people, especially some Qin soldiers who were standing in the front, gave up resistance long ago.
They couldn't resist, because many of them were covered in fire. They panicked and even chose to climb the wooden fence!
That's the instinct to survive!
Although they may not be able to survive if they climb out, they still feel that as long as they escape from this relatively closed space, they will have a way to survive.
This is great.
Thanks to the Qin soldiers, in an instant, the Jin army turned into good hunters waiting for rabbits.
And what about Qin Bing?
It was like a living target hung on a wooden fence. Anyone who climbed out would be shot dead by the Jin army.
The injured Qin soldiers fell like fallen leaves.
After repeated attacks, it was obvious that the Qin soldiers could no longer stop the Jin army's attack.
Next, Wang Mi will officially attack!
Yes!
The indiscriminate bombardment just now was just an appetizer. Next, Wang Shilang was about to start the siege!
The wooden fence in front of him, which is as tall as half a man, is his target!
The low wall no longer constituted an obstacle, and only the rickety wooden fence still barely blocked the footsteps of the Jin army soldiers.
How to overcome it?
It's really a bit difficult.
This thing is not very effective when used with artillery, because it is light and cannot cause great damage. At best, it can help move these wooden fences.
pistol?
That would be even more difficult.
The wooden fence is not a connected wall at all, but a wooden product with holes everywhere, and bullets from the pistol often leak out through the gaps.
How can you knock down a fence?
Therefore, the most critical factor that determines victory or defeat on the battlefield is, after all, people.
To tear down the fence, rush into Yecheng, and win the final victory, in the end, people still have to do it.
No matter how advanced weapons are, they only enhance people's combat effectiveness.
"Amai, fire another round of artillery!"
"No problem, just take a look!"
As the saying goes, if you have something in hand, don’t panic.
He Mai is so proud right now. With one move of his big hand, a series of cannons rise into the sky!
Go straight to the goal!
But this time, their targets are no longer those specific people, nor are they the long stretches of curtains.
But it was the wooden fence that still blocked the Jin army!
Many soldiers unconsciously had doubts in their minds. Just now, Wang Shilang kept saying that artillery was not useful against wooden fences.
Moreover, the Jin army brothers also saw it with their own eyes, and it was indeed not easy to use.
That being the case, now that Mucha has not been captured, why does Wang Shilang repeat his old tricks?
Although there were many doubts in their hearts, no one raised any objections and they all followed Wang Shilang's instructions honestly.
The soldiers no longer doubted that Wang Shilang was absolutely capable of leading them to victory.
Of course, artillery is not useful against Muzha. It only provides cover for the Jin brothers who follow.
After He Mai rushed forward, Wei Yongzhi, who was slightly behind, also followed with his soldiers.
The battle ahead was fierce, and Lao Wei was very excited.
Finally he got a chance!
Now, go for it!
Wei Yongzhi, who was originally charging towards him on horseback, actually made an unimaginable move in the midst of the chaos.
He actually abandoned his horse and joined the ranks of infantry!
Just like that, he jumped off the horse resolutely and picked up the long sword!
Captain Wei, is he possessed by evil spirits?
Isn't it better to leave the good cavalry behind and use them as infantry instead?
