Daqin Engineers

This actually depends on the reputation of Shen Bing.

At this time, Shen Bing's reputation is not only in the Qin Army.

If it is said that the Chu army is more traditional or the ancient information is not well informed, and the deeds of Shen Bing attacking Zhao and attacking Yan cannot be passed on to Chu, then Shen Bing successively flooded the Chu army for the first time, especially Xiang Yan. Will spread throughout Chu.

Coupled with the several records of the Black Armored Army, at this time, the lone army went deep and occupied Ruyin like a heavenly soldier, which made Shen Bing a thunderbolt in Chu State.

Since Shen Bing's reputation is so loud, and now Ruyin City is emitting wolf smoke again, then the soldiers of the Chu Army inevitably thought to themselves:

"How could this Shen Bing be so unhelpful, only knowing that he was killed by our army in Ruyin?"

"Is he still behind?"

"If the Black Armies can break through Xiang Yan's defense and go deep into Ruyin, why can't other armies work?"

"It is reported that Shen Bing has also trained another army, the name is'Daliang Army', the'Daliang Army' has tens of thousands..."

As a result, the rumors were panicking.

This seems not surprising. If even Xiang Bo is worried about Qin’s aid, who can not worry about it?

If anyone is not worried, there is only Zhang Qi in anger... A burn on Zhang Qi's face still covers half of his face, and I am afraid that it will leave a scar in the future, which makes him hate Shen Bing. It became so mad and siege the city.

It’s just that no one knows that Zhang Qi’s intuitive ideas are actually correct, but others think too much.

Uncle Xiang didn't say much after returning from Zhang Qi, he only did three things:

One is to send someone to Xiang Yan to inquire about the situation.

The second is to send out spies around.

The third is to increase outposts and ask them to be vigilant.

Uncle Xiang did the right thing, but his approach seemed to prove the thinking in the soldiers' hearts: Qin State reinforces the army.

After Chu Jun rested for a while after dinner, the sky gradually darkened.

But this still couldn't stop the Chu army's offensive... The night was actually not suitable for siege.

If it were modern, it would be okay to be able to fire flares in the direction of the enemy, and neither would suffer a loss.

However, in the Warring States period of thousands of years, night battles and siege battles were often ignited, otherwise it is very likely that you would not even be able to see where the siege ladder is, and you don’t know where to go.

But just lighting up, it means illuminating yourself for the convenience of others...

Just like this, the Chu Army lit the torch and immediately became the target of the Black Armored Army in Ruyin City.

Without saying a word, the Black Armored Army immediately hit one stone bullet into the Chu army camp.

There are also crossbows...At this time, the Black Armored Army generally switched to crossbows.

After pulling the bow for several days, even Yan couldn't stand it. Some soldiers' fingers were so worn by the bowstring that they could even see the phalanx.

In contrast, it is more convenient to open the crossbow, because it uses both hands to hold the strings and step on the crossbow body and use the waist to open the crossbow.

More importantly, the crossbow is everything in the warehouse, so everyone in the Black Armored Army can prepare dozens of them next to the city wall. When they are free, they will stretch the strings and put them in a neat pile, waiting for the Chu army to attack. You only need to mount a crossbow to shoot at the enemy one by one.

The benefits of this are obvious. It can greatly reduce the time to open the crossbow and the physical consumption during wartime, and make up for the weakness of the black armor.

There are also disadvantages, that is, it needs to consume a lot of crossbows.

For example, if there are more than 1100 Black Armored troops, if an average of ten crossbows are equipped per person, there are 11 thousand.

On the other hand, opening the crossbow for use in normal times is a great loss to the crossbow itself, which is never allowed in normal times.

However, extraordinary means are used in extraordinary times.

The crossbows in the warehouse belonged to the Chu army anyway, so you don't need to use it for nothing, and it's wasted. It's better than giving it to the Chu army or burning it on fire if you can't hold Ruyin.

So these shortcomings are not a shortcoming for the Black Armor.

This also caused the Black Armored Army to have a sharp decrease in its number, but its combat effectiveness did not decrease. As soon as the battle started, the crossbow arrows flew in the direction of the Chu Army.

Especially at night, the Chu army holding a torch to attack would become targets one by one, and the Chu army was often shot down in batches before reaching the top of the city.

But the Chu army had to attack again.

As mentioned before, the Chu army used the fatigue tactics of wheel warfare.

The advantage of this tactic is obvious. It can make the enemy unable to rest and reduce the combat effectiveness, and eventually collapse.

But the disadvantage is that the offense cannot be interrupted at any time, even on an inconvenient night.

Otherwise, the black armies only need to sleep for a few hours, and it will be more difficult to attack the next morning when they are refreshed.

As a result, even though the bodies of Chu Jun had piled up like a mountain under the city wall, they still attacked in groups like ants.

The offensive is like a tide, one after another without stopping.

When this batch is tired, it will be replaced by another batch.

All the Black Armored soldiers seemed to be numb, mechanically opening their crossbows and shooting arrows, slamming their poles, and occasionally a few soldiers of the Chu army attacked them and chopped them down with their swords and shields.

Don't look at the dried cabbage that the Black Armored Army was resting. As soon as the Chu Army launched their offensive, they were as if they were winding up and they were extremely brave.

This may be human potential, or it can be said to be forced out by the enemy.

If there is no danger and no life threatening state, who can still have this kind of combat effectiveness without closing eyes for days and nights.

I'm afraid they don't believe it themselves.

As time passed, the Black Armored Army also repelled several waves of the Chu Army's offensive.

A few days ago, the soldiers would hang the enemy's heads around their waists, and they had already lost them all by now.

This is not because the first level stinks, of course this is also one of the reasons.

What's more important is that the Black Armored Army has killed more people and won countless first ranks. If they are all hanging around their waists, they can't even walk.

I don't know what time it was... the people in the city were emptied by Shen Bing, and there was no one to fight the watch. The Black Armored Army didn't measure the time, so they forgot the time.

Shen Bing only knew that it was a light rain in the sky, the dark clouds blocked the moonlight, and the rain made it difficult to light the torches.

At this time, the Chu army's offensive was slightly slowed down, because it was not clear that the second siege ladder was wet and slippery, which increased the danger of siege in a series.

As for the Black Armored Army, it only needs a spear or a halberd to poke at the black shadow coming up the ladder, and occasionally a few torches can be thrown down to help with the fire.

However, the Chu Army still did not stop, always attacking Ruoyuowu.

At this moment, the Chu army camp suddenly became chaotic, and even a few large fires were lit, and it seemed that the granary had been lit.

Then I saw the Chu soldiers hacking and killing each other, slashing and shouting:

"My own person, don't do it!"

"Some spies come in!"

"Oh, they are Qin Jun..."

"I'm from Chu, you are the spies!"

"Obviously you waited to move first...ah..."
