Daqin Engineers

The "evil" of the Black Armed Forces is not just an ambush.

In fact, the Black Armored Army had been "evil" for some time before the ambush Zhang Qijun.

Shouchun's reaction speed was not fast. After receiving the news, they needed to discuss and consolidate their troops, and then march for two hundred miles to reach Ruyin. For the Black Armored Army, there were about two days of preparation time.

The Black Army needs a trebuchet.

But of course, they do not need to make their own.

All they have to do is go up Rushui and shout to Chu Jun:

"The king has orders, the frontline is in urgent need of supplies, and now we are urgently recruiting trebuchets and arrows!"

"The ministries will quickly hand over what they need, without error!"

The Chu army was originally not strict in military regulations. In addition, the army also included the Chu King’s direct troops, Zhao, Qu, and Jing noble troops, and Xiang Jiangdong children, and the management was very chaotic.

Moreover, the news of Ruyin’s fall did not rush to the public for a while, so when these Chu army saw these black armored troops in Chu army armor issuing orders in the name of the king, they did not doubt that they handed over the trebuchets and arrows in batches. , And even sent horses for transport.

How could the Black Armor be polite with them and drove all these supplies to Ruyin.

Among them are a large number of stone bullets, and the shortage of manpower has also enlisted local people to do labor.

What's more, the soldiers and labors who transported supplies became prisoners as soon as they arrived in Ruyin.

Needless to say, the result was all exiled to the west of Rushui as before.

This is also one of the reasons why the news of Ruyin's occupation did not spread far...

Ruyin was captured at night, and the city gate was closed when he was taken down, that is, no one could escape.

When the whole city fell into the hands of Shen Bing, the people were exiled to the west again.

The people are walking on the west side of Rushui, while the Black Armies are riding on the east side and making chaos, of course, they have to be one step faster.

When Ru Shui'an Chu Jun received the news, he realized that it was already too late.

In fact, what Shen Bing needs is not these materials, such as stone bullets, arrows... There are mountains of piles in Ruyin's warehouse.

The problem is that Shen Bing knows that if these nearby supplies are not gathered in a wave, then these stone bullets and arrows will soon become supplies for attacking the Black Armor and hit the walls of Ruyin in the near future.

Among them, trebuchets are needed. There are not many trebuchets in Ruyin City, but the Black Armored Army ambushes the Chu Army.

The sad thing is that these trebuchets are all old-fashioned trebuchets, which are thrown by humans.

This is not surprising. Chu is located in the south among the Seven Kingdoms and it is not easy to accept new things with traditional traditions.

Therefore, it has been nearly a year since the new trebuchet was invented in Shen Bing's hands, and its manufacturing method and advantages must have been passed on to Chu, but Chu is still unwilling to change it.

This is a good thing for Shen Bing, because it means that Ruyin has to face this kind of backward trebuchet.

Shen Bing only needs to modify these catapults a little.

Soon, Shen Bing received a report that the Chu army had sent troops from Shouchun.

This is not difficult for the Black Armored Army. They wear Chu Qi’s armor and even carry Chu Qi’s testimonials. They are in the Chu land, which is not strictly investigated. It can be said that "the sky is high and the birds fly to the sea." Broad by the fish jump".

All Shen Bing had to do was to send a few cavalry to the direction of Shouchun, and follow them all the way to accurately know the marching route of the Chu army.

Now that he mastered the marching route of the Chu army, setting up an ambush was a trivial matter.

Shen Bing set up the ambush ring at the Wild Wolf Ridge, which is more than 80 miles away from Ruyin.

Although the terrain of Yelangling is not steep, it is densely covered with woods, and the woods are oily and flammable coniferous forests...

The difference between coniferous forest and broad-leaved forest is that coniferous forests are more drought-tolerant, and their needle-shaped leaves reduce water loss.

Because it is drought-tolerant, its branches and leaves are relatively drier, such as pine needles and pine branches. The forest is even covered with branches and pine cones that have fallen over the years to form a thick layer.

Shen Bing led his troops to make some preparations in the pine forest, stacking a pile of branches and leaves for ignition every few steps, and then cutting out a fire belt among them.

The so-called fire belt is to empty the branches and leaves of the trees that have been sawn down on the ground to form a "fire road" that is more than ten steps long and wide. Because this fire road has no combustible materials, the fire cannot go over and make the other side a safe area.

The black armor waited in an ambush in a safe area.

All the way, Chu Jun only thought of rushing to Ruyin and going into battle. How could he have thought that Qin Jun would set up an ambush here, so he stepped into the ambush circle unguarded.

Seeing that the time had come, Shen Bing ordered the soldiers to light the fire, and then the soldiers fired several batches of rockets out...

The dead branches and needles ignited at a single point, and the fire soon reached the canopy. When the wind blew, it crackled and swept toward the Chu army on the road.

Chu Jun panicked for a while, and the people shouted and the horses hurried into a ball.

What surprised Shen Bing was that the Chu army settled down after a period of chaos and continued to advance instead of retreating...

Shen Bing was wrong on this point. He originally thought that the Chu army would retreat, so he deployed more troops in the rear.

It can be seen that this Chu army is not a waiting generation, and the leading general is also IQ Online.

But this didn't seem to change anything, because this dense forest was like a pocket array laid out in advance, as long as Chu Jun walked in and wanted to escape, it would be difficult to climb to the sky.

Sure enough, when Chu Qi rushed forward, he found that the road ahead had been blocked by mountains of wood and dead branches.

In fact, it is not firewood, but rather a wall of fire, a wall of fire that has been ignited, and it spreads to both sides to form a piece.

Zhang Qi squeezed up from behind to take a look, and then ordered:

"The halberds and shields open the way!"

Chu Bing responded, and immediately divided several teams of halberd and shields.

The capital guard army is worthy of being the private soldier of the king of Chu, and in this situation, it can advance and retreat in an orderly manner without fear of danger.

Zhang Qi is worthy of being General Zhu Guo, and he can still keep sober and make correct judgments.

For example, halberds and shields are now sent... The halberds can pull out the wall of fire, and the shield covered with cowhide can block the fire or the arrows that the enemy may shoot.

The problem is that it is not arrows but stone bullets that are shot from the opposite side.

Zhang Qi knew that something was wrong when he heard the "creak" from the other side of the wall of fire, and he yelled:

"spread……"

But there was still a rush, and even if Chu Bing wanted to disperse, there was no room for him. The front, back, left, and right were full of fire, and everyone was crowded on the road in the middle and couldn't move.

As a result, a wave of stone bullets immediately set off a bloody storm, and the halberd shield hand was smashed into meat in rows before he could react.

The cavalry who followed were not much better. The horse was frightened and the rider fell off the back of the horse, and the horse was immediately trampled to death.

Some riders wanted to turn around, some riders wanted to move forward, and even Zhang Qi didn't know what to do, so Chu Bing soon fell into real chaos.
