Daqin Engineers

Before that, Shen Bing had painted the Xiongnu army in his mind several times.

After all, this is a long-term battle with the Central Plains... Throughout Chinese history, it is almost a process in which the farming nation competes with the northern nomads.

In order to deal with the harassment of the nomads, the farming people even built a great wall.

Therefore, Shen Bing always thought that the Xiongnu was an army that was even better than the Qin army.

However, ascending to the top of the city and looking down, Shen Bing was greatly disappointed by what he saw...

The army of the Huns under the city wall was disorganized and disorganized. They were randomly assembled in groups of three or five. Some were covered in leather armor and some were just animal skins, and the hats on their heads were also all kinds of strange.

Occasionally, I could see a few men in bronze armor, and Shen Bing guessed that they must be the Huns centurion or thousands.

After thinking about it, it is not surprising that the Xiongnu will be like this.

The army of the northern nomads is different from the army of the Central Plains.

The Central Plains army pays attention to formation, formation, system and uniformity.

Strictly speaking, the Huns are not even an army. They are actually made up of herders in order to plunder herds and property.

If judged by the standards of the Central Plains, this is a crowd of mobs, an unrighteous teacher.

However, it happens that this group of mobs, this unrighteous teacher, has terrible combat power...

The reason is that Shen Bing believes that this is because the Huns' tactics and tactics come from hunting, so they can fight like wild beasts like a pack of wolves.

The wolves will not form a team, but the long-term hunting allows each wolf to know when to do, and even cooperate with each other to attack the prey.

The Huns are like these wolves. They fight more on instinct, instinct, and sixth sense.

If this kind of combat model is immature, it would be a mob, but if it matures... it will exert terrible combat effectiveness and even exceed the standard army.

While Shen Bing was meditating, he saw the Huns launch an offensive against the Qin army.

Their target is the walled city outside the cloud city.

At this time, Shen Bing suddenly realized that the incentive for the Huns to attack the Qin army was probably due to his own "enclosure" plan...

If the Qin army stayed in Yunzhong City, the Huns would not be able to attack even if they wanted to attack.

However, Shen Bing chose to send his army out of the city to build an enclosure...Outside the city can be said to be the world of the Huns cavalry. Isn't this a challenge to the Huns?

When the Huns moved, there were more than 3,000 people. They screamed like wild beasts and rode toward the walled city.

To be precise, it is not towards the walled city, but in a circle along the tangent direction of the walled city...

According to Wang Bai, this is a common offensive tactic used by the Huns.

The Huns rarely used cavalry to directly rush into the formation, let alone attack the city.

In fact, even the Central Plains cavalry didn't use cavalry to rush into battle, let alone the Huns who were good at riding and shooting.

In an era when there were no saddles and stirrups, directly attacking infantry with cavalry was almost dead.

The Central Plains cavalry more choose to dismount and fight.

The Xiongnu, who is good at riding and shooting, makes his team go around counterclockwise, like a spinning wheel.

The reason for "counterclockwise" is that the left hand holds the bow and the right hand shoots the arrow. Counterclockwise is to put the enemy on the attack surface.

Leaning to the enemy's side just into the range of the bow and arrow, the Xiongnu soldiers used their bows and arrows to shoot a steady stream of arrows into the enemy's formation.

Sometimes there are rockets and torches, such as now.

This is why it goes without saying, they hope to ignite the unbuilt city walled by the Qin army.

Suddenly, the tens of thousands of horses rushed into the mountains, and the smoke was everywhere, and the arrows flew to the Qinjun Fortress like locusts. In a short while, the fence was nailed up and looked like a hedgehog.

Fusu's face turned pale when he saw this scene, and his breathing didn't feel like he became hurried.

When he was a scholar who saw such scenes, this trip is regarded as an eye-opener.

Wei Wei was also a little nervous, just because this was the first time he faced the Xiongnu, for fear that something might happen if he "knew the enemy".

After waiting for a while, Wei Wei became impatient and asked Shen Bing for instructions:

"General, your subordinates please fight..."

Shen Bing answered without thinking:

"Don't get dry, wait a minute."

Wei Wei answered, and did not dare to say anything.

He didn't understand what Shen Bing was waiting for. At this time, two castles were ignited by the Huns, and the form was extremely critical...

Qin Jun’s city walled was not completed in time, and because the Xiongnu did not expect to attack, the branches, bark, etc. cut from the logs were all piled up in a mess.

These were used by the Huns. Their rockets shot at these places and occasionally threw a few torches... The Huns were so good at riding, they could throw the torches high and throw them in with the speed of the horse on the galloping horse. In the village, and the location is very precise.

For a while, there were fires everywhere in the walled city, Qin soldiers and soldiers hurriedly braved the arrows to put out the fire.

Fortunately, the river water has been introduced into the walled city, and it is not difficult to put out the fire. It's just that some soldiers are often shot to the ground by arrows.

According to Wei Wei's idea, the troops should be sent out to meet the enemy at this time... Qin Nu's ballistic trajectory is relatively straight, and it is unfavorable to shoot unless it is in an arrow tower or a village building.

But Shen Bing didn't give the order, and Wei Wei didn't dare to make any trouble, so he could only continue to wait like this.

After another tea time, the north side suddenly raised the flag, and then Cheng hurriedly reported:

"General, Jiazhai encounters five thousand enemies, and seems to be breaking the defense!"

Shen Bing nodded and said:

"coming!"

Then ordered:

"Let them in!"

Wei Wei, who was next to him, immediately burst into a cold sweat on his forehead hearing these words...

He didn't expect that the Huns would have another army, and this army would break through the walled defense line in an unreasonable way.

If you just ordered the village to respond to the enemy, I am afraid that you will be attacked by both sides of the Huns.

We must know that the Qin army outside the city has only more than 5,000 people, but the Xiongnu less than 10,000, plus the newly added 5,000, its total strength is three times as much as the Qin army, and it is attacked on both sides... Even if Qin Jun had the advantage of a crossbow, he was afraid that he would be defeated.

At this point, Wei Wei couldn't help but secretly let out a fluke. Fortunately, Shen Bing stopped in time, otherwise he would not know how to deal with it.

Then Shen Bing gave another order to Wang Ben:

"Be ready to go to war, with a thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry!"

Wang Ben responded with a rush, and then went to make arrangements.

The advantage of using Wang Ben is that Shen Bing only needs to give an order and he knows what to do.

For example, now, as soon as Shen Bing talks about Wang Ben, he knows that he will be deployed in three urn cities to attack at the same time...Each urn city can hold about a thousand people.

So one thousand foot soldiers were at the east gate, and two thousand cavalry were at the north and south gates.

The east gate is the closest to the Xiongnu outside the city, while the north and south gates are slightly farther.

But because the cavalry was faster, it happened to be one unit when it attacked the enemy.

After making these preparations, Shen Bing waited.

Until Cheng reports:

"The enemy broke through the city defense..."

Shen Bing also gave an order:

"Play!"
