Daqin Engineers

It was not the Shen Bing's black armour that drove into the encirclement of the Chu army on the wheeled warship, but the infantry led by Li Yan.

Shen Bing asked Yang Duanhe to give another half a month to consider from two aspects:

One is that Li Yan and other infantrymen need some time to train.

There is no difficulty at this point, after all, the wheeled warship is very easy to control.Old-fashioned warships also had the problem of paddling together to ensure balance on both sides, but the wheeled warships only needed to be stepped on.

If there is any need for training, it is to steer the helm, swing the formation, and strengthen the bow.

For a well-trained Qin army, it only takes a few days to train... Most of the Qin army's armored men are promoted by crossbowmen, so crossbows are certainly not a problem.

The other is the basket-weaving artist rushing to work, and after half a month, the remaining 1,000 sets of armor are finished.

So the Black Armored Army is a veritable Black Armored Army: warships, bronze swords, bows and arrows, armor, etc. are all available.

There are also halberds... the halberds used by the navy are somewhat different from those used by the infantry.

The halberd used by infantrymen is more complicated and can pierce, hook, draw, and pick.

This is normal, because there are still chariots in this era. Among the chariots, there is a halberd. His task is to scratch the enemy with the blade of the halberd when the enemy and us are crossed... usually not stabbing, because of the opposite. The impact force will knock the halberd off the car, so the spear is not suitable.

The halberd used by the navy is much simpler than that of the infantry. It is actually a long pole with a pointed head and a spike-shaped head.

It is usually not used to kill the enemy, but to pin the enemy ship and then pull it closer to force the battle.

Shen Bing does not advocate this point. The strength of the black armored soldier at this time is bow shooting, and foot combat should be avoided as much as possible.

Instead, Li Yan's infantry on board should try to use this tactic.

After everything was prepared, Shen Bing asked Li Yan to drive to Qiancheng with two thousand five hundred infantry in a wheeled warship.

It was actually an order from Yang Duanhe.

Shen Bing is the school lieutenant and Li Yan is the deputy general. According to common sense, it should be Li Yan who ordered Shen Bing.

This is one of the reasons why Li Yan has been indignant.

So when Li Yan and his subordinates rushed to Qiancheng and saw Chu's navy scattered across the hills, he immediately used his banner to order the troops to disperse and attack.

Li Yan, the infantry school lieutenant, drove up another ship from behind, and asked Li Yan for instructions after more than ten meters:

"Vice General Li."

"The general ordered us to keep our formation and not to trade."

Li Yan "hum" replied:

"This is the general's order, it is clearly Shen Bing's idea!"

"The enemy's navy has no more than 1,000 men, but they guard dozens of places, each with no more than dozens of men."

"Why should I be afraid of him for more than two thousand soldiers?"

"Quickly decide to win the city, even if we wait in ambush, we can go ashore to meet the enemy!"

It should be said that there is a certain truth to this idea. After all, Li Yan and other people are infantrymen who are better at foot combat, so they can be more at ease by being down to earth after taking the lead.

But where can this Qiancheng be won in a short while?

How could the Chu army fall into the hands of the Qin army?

Xiang Yan, who was watching the battle at the top of the mountain, was overjoyed that the Qin army was scattered, and immediately issued a banner for the navy to attack.

Immediately, the war drum "rumbling", the Chu Shui Army hidden on the shore lifted the camouflage and rowed a boat towards the Qin Army.

The Qin Army was in chaos for a while, and Li Yan knew that what Yang Duanhe and Shen Bing said was true, and hurriedly ordered the troops to be gathered to meet the enemy.

But it was easy to disperse but difficult to gather. Besides, the Qin Army was still in an offensive state and was deliberately dragged down by the Chu Army.

There is a reason why Shen Bing confessed that Li Yan should not act rashly.

Water warfare is very particular about formation.

Because if the warships are kept in formation, they can cover each other, even if they are surrounded by the enemy, they can reduce casualties.

For example, if warships line up next to each other, the warship in the middle will not be injured by the enemy, and warships on both sides will only face the enemy.

As a result, the enemy could only destroy the warships one after another, one after another.

But if there is no formation to disperse the attack, there will be many warships being flanked by the enemy on both sides, and the people who come down from the rain of arrows will instantly lose their combat effectiveness.

This is the situation faced by Li Yan and others.

In Qiancheng and the small fort, the Chu army was dropping arrows on the wooden arrow tower, and the enemy ship hit the water. When the Qin army was raising a shield to fight, another ship came from behind and looked at the flaws in the back of the Qin army as an arrow. rain.

However, Qin Jun was beaten up and screamed to advance and retreat.

At this time, Xiang Yan felt a little wrong.

This victory seemed to come too easy, if Shen Bing didn't fight like this... it would waste his time for Xiang Yan to be frightened.

When Xiang Yan was puzzled, a guard suddenly rushed to Xiang Yan and shouted in panic:

"General, there is a flame on the south side, Lieutenant General Zhang is asking for help!"

Xiang Yan hurriedly ran to the south, and after passing through a forest, she saw a ray of beacon fire rising from the south...

Xiang Yan understood when he thought about it, and he yelled with anger:

"It's bad, I've been caught by Shen Bing's tricks again."

"The main force of the Qin Shui Army is now killing downstream from the south!"

Xiang Yan was right, it was the Black Armored Army led by Shen Bing that came out from the south.

Shen Bing said to Yang Duanhe:

"General, it is actually not difficult to break the trap of the Chu army. I will use Tian Ji's horse racing strategy later."

Yang Duanhe was taken aback:

"Tian Ji horse racing?"

"The school lieutenant said to use a bad horse against a good horse?"

"But I only have one navy..."

Yang Duanhe understood before he finished speaking.

Some time ago, the Black Armored Army was practicing flying and building ships, and the extra wheeled warships were enough to equip more than two thousand people.

Since there is a boat, wouldn't it be a bad horse to send more infantrymen to steer the boat?

Then use this wicked horse to throw stones and ask directions to startled the snake...

Yang Duanhe didn't think much, and immediately yelled to his side:

"Vice General Li..."

Li Yan has a black line on his forehead, does he think of me when he mentions him?

But since it was Yang Duanhe's order, Li Yan didn't dare to say anything, so he had to order 2,500 soldiers to serve as "bad horses".

But people are often like this, the more they are suppressed, the more rebellious they are.

Even Li Yan tried to prove that Shen Bing’s analysis was all wrong. Even if it was correct, his “bad horse” could defeat the Chu army on the battlefield with strength and then return triumphantly, and then smash the enemy. First throw it in front of Shen Bing and humiliate him.

However, imagination is always beautiful, but reality is so cruel.

Li Yan's subordinates may have the ability to turn defeat into victory if they fight on foot, but they are powerless in water battles.

But it didn't matter if Li Yan didn't suffer, because this tactic was a success.

When Shen Bing led the Black Armored Army down the current, the Chu Shui Army ambushing upstream thought that the Black Armored Army was a reinforcement.

So there is nothing to think about, of course the killer will come out to prevent his rescue.

Why would they think that this "reinforcement" is the main force, so they kicked the iron plate with this kick...
