Daqin Engineers

Xu Chang is right. Qin Jun has stone bullets, and Zhao Jun also has stone bullets.

If stone bullets and stone bullets do not take advantage, and Zhao Jun is superior in strength and quality, there is no reason to win.

Therefore, Zhao Jun launched a new round of offensive with the trebuchet.

The main attack is still the northern soldiers commanded by Wang Bai.

The point is still the gap in the city wall.

The difference is that there are fifty more trebuchets in the rear.

Wang Bai is a veteran. Since he was rescued from the Xiongnu by the Northern Army at the age of fifteen, he has been following Li Mu to conquer the North.

With extensive experience in the battlefield, he divided the catapult into five teams, three of which were placed in front of the left, center and right.

The left and right sides are responsible for covering, and the center is facing the gap.

The other two teams are preparing reinforcements in the rear.

However, what Xuchang and Wang Bai did not expect was.

This trebuchet is not the other trebuchet.

From the perspective of the catapult alone, although Shen Bing has once again upgraded the catapult, the difference is not very big.

Although the hanging baskets are less accurate and have more problems in launching, the number can completely make up for this shortcoming.

So, the point is that none of them can calculate ballistics.

In ancient times, miscellaneous subjects other than "practitioners, agriculture, industry and commerce", such as wizards, doctors, and scientists, were usually called alchemists.

So Bian Que was an alchemist, Xu Fu was an alchemist, and Zhang Heng was an alchemist.

There were also alchemists who were proficient in mathematics in the Qin Dynasty, and even the "Nine-Nine Multiplication Table" was found in the unearthed cultural relics of the Qin Dynasty.

But it is certain that none of them will understand parabola and gravitational acceleration...

Otherwise, it would not be Newton's turn to be smashed by an Apple, and his brains would be dizzy.

then.

Even if Zhao Jun divides the trebuchet into the left, center, and right teams and fires stone bullets in the direction of the gap...

But the stone bullet was either too far or too high, or it hit the wall and bounced back to its own camp.

This not only fails to provide effective cover for the offensive infantry, but also causes many accidental injuries.

This caused the attacking northern soldiers to complain:

"It's so easy for us to fight?"

"Not only have to be hit by enemy stone bullets, but also by one's own stone bullets."

"Can you stop messing up?"

At the same time, Qin Jun had a trebuchet on the wall.

They were condescending and hitting down, one after another, Zhao Jun’s trebuchets were smashed.

So after the second round of offensive, Zhao Jun dropped a batch of corpses and retreated again with a disgraced face.

At this time, Yang Ting, who was standing at the head of the city and commanding, was relieved.

The catkins reported good news one after another:

"Report to the captain, a team of thousand people has arrived."

"There is also a team of five hundred people and three teams of hundred people."

"A total of more than 1,800 reinforcements are on standby!"

Yang Ting gave a "um" and asked, "Who is the new two or five hundred masters?"

The catkins replied: "It is the quilt."

Tian Bei was once Yang Duanhe's general, and later he was promoted to the rank of two to five hundred masters.

Both Yang Ting and Liu Xu are quite familiar with him.

Yang Ting thought for a while, then ordered:

"Let Na Tian be led by troops to guard the gap!"

"Tie Zhang Xuan to me!"

Catkins couldn't help but stunned when he heard the words, but still replied "No" and turned to pass on the message.

After a few horns, all the Qin army units gathered under the city.

Shen Bing and artillery were among them.

Originally, Shen Bing thought it was Yang Ting who wanted to speak up or have some new arrangements.

But seeing Zhang Xuan and a dozen soldiers of the Qin Army tied to wooden stakes by Wuhuada, I realized that this was not the case.

Shen Bing secretly wondered:

Didn’t you just win the battle?

How could Zhang Xuan be tied up in a blink of an eye?

Looking at the tied Zhang Xuan and more than a dozen soldiers, all of them pale and frightened, as if they knew what they had done wrong.

When Shen Bing was puzzled, he saw Yang Ting walking up.

She glanced at a bunch of people who had been tied up, and finally locked her eyes on Zhang Xuan and asked:

"Zhang Xuan, are you convicted?"

Zhang Xuan lowered his head, and replied with a shame on his face:

"Subordinates are convicted!"

"The subordinates are two to five hundred masters, but they withdrew before the battle, so that the city gate was in danger!"

"Subordinates are willing to be punished!"

When Shen Bing heard this, he remembered that it seemed that there was indeed such a thing.

Zhao Jun was extremely brave in the first round of attack, and the Qin army led by Zhang Xuan retreated a few steps.

but……

Isn't it just taking a few steps back?

Is this going to be tied up and executed?

But Shen Bing soon knew that he had misunderstood.

Yang Ting turned her head and asked an official with a small crown next to him: "Supervising the official, what is the guilty of retreating?"

The official Wen stepped forward and replied:

"Report to the captain!"

"Those who retreat before the battle should be punished by a thousand people!"

Shen Bing was stunned.

It's not that he didn't understand, Shen Bing, who had some literary skills, knew that torture was to cut his nose.

Although this is much better than Shen Bing's previous thought, it is still a little hard to imagine.

But when I think about it in detail, I feel that the penalty makes some sense.

The battlefield, especially the cold weapon battlefield, sometimes cannot retreat in half a step.

This is not only a problem that strategically important places will fall, but it will also affect the morale of the entire army.

Because people have a herd mentality, if no one escapes during battle, it's fine.

A few escaping or just taking a few steps back may cause a chain reaction and cause the entire army to collapse.

Just thinking about it, a team of soldiers had stepped forward and drew out the bronze swords to prepare for the prisoners' noses.

The prisoners were panting with nervousness, and a few couldn't help asking for mercy.

But only that Zhang Xuan was still a bit ambitious, and his face was as normal as he gritted his teeth.

Shen Bing felt a little unbearable.

He knew that death was actually better than life.

Such as breathing difficulties and sleepless day and night.

Another example is the lack of antibiotics in this era. At least a few of them will die painfully because of wound infections.

Even if someone survived by chance, the face with the nose cut off is shame.

No matter where you go, no matter how brave you are in future battles or what title you are promoted to.

This face will always tell others that its owner has committed a crime.

Thinking of this, Shen Bing stood up:

"Master school lieutenant!"

"Although they flinched, they also repelled Zhao Jun."

"This is the time when our military is using people..."

"Can't they atone for their merits?"

Shen Bing's statement is really crooked, because Qin Law can indeed redeem merits, especially the provision of knighthood.

Even knighthood can not only redeem sins, but also redeem people, that is, redeem relatives who are slaves as free bodies.

This is also the precious part of the title, it can do things that money and power are difficult to do.

Moreover, it is a reasonable and legal way for ordinary people.

It's no wonder that all the soldiers of the Qin Army fight desperately, it is almost equivalent to privilege.

Yang Ting set her sights on Jian Yushi.

Jian Yushi replied: "Zhang Xuan can change his title to tattoo, but other people...not enough to redeem!"

Shen Bing smiled relaxedly:

"It's simple, just use my title and credit!"
