Daqin Engineers

Chu Qi ran around in the chaos. There was no way forward and back. The pine forests on both sides were fierce and filled with heavy smoke back into the Chu army, making Chu army unable to see the direction and breathing hard.

Occasionally, a few groups of Chu rides desperately rushed into the sea of ​​fire...but those who are not afraid of death have a chance to rush out. The reason is that although the fire on both sides of the woods is strong, most of them are only shallow layers of dead branches, and the trunks have not had time It is lit and the area is not wide.

Therefore, if you ride on a horse, you may escape.

But that is only possible.

Riding a horse running too fast is to be blocked by branches and trunks. The rider is either tripped by the branches or thrown off by the horse. Needless to say, without the speed of the horse, he can only scream in the sea of ​​fire.

Occasionally, a few lucky ones broke into the fire, and they were immediately shot down by the black armor guarding the periphery.

If you are lucky enough to rush through the arrow array, then you will be tripping the horse and the carbine...

As a result, these five thousand Chu riders did not even have a chance to surrender. Most of them were burned to death or smoked to death on the road, and only a few became prisoners.

However, the Black Armored Army did not leave any prisoners... This battle was to fight deep behind the enemy lines. To keep the prisoners was to make trouble for themselves, so the soldiers cut off their heads and hung them around their waists.

Zhang Qi survived.

He found a small irrigation ditch beside the road, and then ordered his guards to cut wood and weeds around the ditch.

This Chu army was originally going to Ruyin to make siege equipment. It was equipped with short axes, hand saws and other tools, and it really opened up a safe space before the fire spread.

But this is also because the black armies cannot stay here for long.

There were 15,000 main forces behind the Chu army. They were more than 30 miles behind because they were carrying a large amount of grain and supplies with the army.

Although it was more than 30 miles behind, the spies were almost behind the striker, and when he saw the fire burning in the wild wolf ridge ahead, he knew that something went wrong and returned to fly.

The main force of Chu Qi hurriedly organized Qingqi to come for reinforcements.

Of course, the Black Armed Forces couldn't wait for them to come up, so Shen Bing gave an order and withdrew.

So Zhang Qi managed to save his lives with dozens of talents, otherwise the Black Armies had time to clean the battlefield and would have to capture them all.

However, Zhang Qi was not going well, with a muddy head and muddy face, and a lot of burns on his body.

Zhang Qi couldn't take care of this. He got up from the ditch angrily and shouted:

"Catch up, catch up with these rebels."

"If I don't put the Black Armored Army under the horseshoe in this life, I will swear I will not be a man!

Of course Chu Jun could not catch up with the Black Armored Army.

Not to mention that the cavalry on both sides were extremely difficult to catch up, and the wild wolfling fire had not yet been completely extinguished. The road was blocked, and the Chu army could only detour to Ruyin.

When they arrived, Ruyin had already closed the city gate, leaving only a hoof print outside the city.

In this battle, the Chu army killed more than 4,000 people, and the forward was almost wiped out.

In addition, this battle also smashed the morale of the Chu army... The capital guard army has always been considered by the Chu army to be the elite of the elite. If it is really a battle, it will not lose even the Jiangdong son of the Yan, and there are fifty thousand. Everyone, the combat power cannot be underestimated.

Before setting off, Zhang Qi also vowed to let the whole army down, to beat the black armour and capture Shen Bing alive.

However, it was such an army that had just set off or even arrived at Ruyin before being beaten up by the Black Armor...In ancient times, warfare paid great attention to the first battle of the division. The unfavorable division would be considered unlucky, so morale Great influence.

In fact, the more important thing was that this battle put Zhu Guo's general Zhang Qi in a state of anger.

Objectively speaking, although Zhang Qi is talented, General Zhu Guo does not deserve his name.

At the end of the Warring States Period, only Chu State retained the position of General Zhu State, whose power was only under the state of the state, and was the chief military attache.

In terms of strength and military exploits, the head of the military attache should also be left to Xiang Yan, and how can Zhang Qi and He De be called the General of Zhu Guo.

However, the other meaning of Zhu Guo is the official to defend the capital (Zhu Guo was originally the meaning of the capital).

Of course, King Chu Wang had to choose a trustworthy person, Ren Zhuguo, rather than a nobleman, otherwise, he would send the country and his own safety to the nobleman.

The scope of selection among the family members is small, and the nobles and princes are often idle and have no real talents, so Zhang Qi is selected by the tall one among the short ones.

This Qi is only in his early thirties. Although he can't be said to be young and victorious, he is also arrogant and used to being a nobleman. He usually holds a good soldier in his hand and is rebellious.

This made him lose his mind and jump like a thunder wherever he can put his face down, almost the entire battle was in a state of runaway.

For example, now, Chu Qi hastily prepared dozens of simple siege ladders and launched an offensive against Ruyin...

Shen Bing was still a little confused at the beginning, there was no trebuchet, no crash, and even the bowman did not arrange it, so he moved the siege ladder to attack the city?

Then Shen Bing understood, Chu Jiang was beaten to the pain and then became angry.

This is an unexpected gain.

In fact, Shen Bing never thought that the enemy leader would be in the five thousand horses that were ambushed. He didn't even know who the enemy leader was.

There is no way, the communication and reconnaissance methods of ancient warfare are all backward, and sometimes it depends on luck to know.

But Shen Bing knew at least one thing: If the Chu army attacked like this, then Ruyin would defend for ten and a half months without a problem.

Sure enough, the Chu Army's offensive did not pose much threat to the Black Armored Army.

One of the most important points is that the black armour is better than the crossbow.

They were cavalry soldiers when they were still soldiers, and then they specialized in horse-riding and shooting arrows every day.

At this time, standing on the city wall and being condescending and not needing to maintain balance, the accuracy and strength are even more improved.

The Chu army was holding the shield and attacking the city to no avail... The shield could only defend the front, but the arrows of the Black Armored Army would attack its weak points from both sides.

So the soldiers of the Chu army screamed and fell from the siege ladder one by one.

Even more powerful is to shoot a pole.

The shooting rod was transplanted by Shen Bing from the wheel warship...Why can the wheel warship be used to defend the city wall?

And because this rod is located on the head of the city, it has a heavier weight and a longer body, so it is more powerful.

Going on this pole didn't just shoot down the enemy from the siege ladder, but directly smashed the siege ladder into two pieces. At that moment, the entire Chu army on the siege ladder screamed and fell to the foot of the city wall.

It was because the front end of the siege ladder had a barb, and the upper half could barely hang on the wall.

However, the Chu soldiers hung on it certainly didn't have the slightest attack power, and instead needed the Black Armored Army to rescue them.
