Daqin Engineers

It is not surprising that Shen Bing would guess that the Xiongnu would implement interspersed encirclement.

Before that, he had learned a lot about the Huns' tactics from Wang Bai and Lei Hui.

He discovered that the Xiongnu's tactics are actually not so many sloppy tricks, such as what formations, what 36 strategies...

When the Huns thought they were weaker than the enemy, they would use the mobility of the cavalry and the dynamic guerrilla of the enemy, just as the Black Armored Army was against the Chu State Cavalry before.

When it is believed that the strength is greater than the enemy's certainty of victory, the enemy will be divided and encircled and wiped out.

Therefore, at the moment when Shen Bing determined that the Xiongnu underestimated the enemy, he knew that the Xiongnu might intersperse into the defense line of the city to fight a siege.

At this time, the walls of the Qin army were also suitable for the Huns to fight and encircle.

The reason is that the construction of the walled city has not yet been completed.

If the walled city is built, it should be an arrow tower, an arrow tower, and even a catapult, and a bed crossbow.

Moreover, there are still horse pits, stumbling horses, or traps everywhere in the city.

At this time, if the enemy riders want to pass through the two city walls, they have to be skinned.

But at this time all of these are incomplete, especially Jiazhai is only just erecting a wooden fence on the periphery.

At this time, the Huns cavalry could almost come and go freely.

That being the case, why didn't the Huns cavalry interspersed into the defensive line to attack the Qin army?

If you only ride your horses and shoot arrows in circles outside the walled city, how many arrows will you shoot and when will you defeat the five thousand Qin army?

But it would be different if you interspersed into the walled defense line.

The outer side of the walled city is more complete, that is, the side facing the enemy. The inner side has not been built because there are not too many threats, and even the wooden fence has not been erected.

So the Xiongnu cavalry can take advantage of the void and break into the city.

Among them, the Huns cavalry also has an amazing operation:

They would gallop by with a lasso, and then throw it on the fence of the city...Then the force of several horses pulled the fence down, and the Qin army among them was exposed to their arrows.

This seems unimaginable to the Central Plains Cavalry: it is quite good to be able to maintain a balance on a galloping horse, and the Huns can also wield a lasso, and then accurately set the target...

In fact, this is the question of practice makes perfect.

The Huns have lived on horseback since they were young, and they have been riding horses and grazing and playing with the horse slings since they were sensible.

It was Zuo Xian Wang Maodun who led this squad into the defense line of the Qin Army.

He has always maintained a cautious mentality, so he did not go too deep into the defense line, but after crossing the defense line, he attacked the northernmost Jiazhai.

Then Mouton immediately realized that something was wrong.

As soon as the fence of the walled city was pulled down, what Maoton saw was not a group of enemies fleeing in panic, but an army ready to be deployed.

The front row of these troops propped up long poles and rags hung on the poles, which made it difficult for Mouton to see them clearly. Arrows shot up would even be blocked by these strips or changed directions. .

What Mouton didn't know was that these long poles were the "wolves" peculiar to the Liangjun.

However, there are few bamboos in the northern grasslands, so the "Wolves" cannot be supplemented here... After the bamboo leaves are dropped, they can only be replaced with rags and twine.

Then, Qin Jun even took the initiative to push down Mucha, and then rows of powerful arrows shot out of the city.

If it's just a crossbow arrow, there is also an iron crossbow arrow that is several feet long like a snake and shoots out with a howling sound, nailing the entire horse to the ground on the spot...

Mao Dun was dumbfounded immediately.

Then Mao Dun immediately knew the power of this iron crossbow...If it was just for killing the enemy, this iron crossbow didn't have much advantage over the ordinary crossbow arrows.

Because a guy as big as Iron Crossbow Arrow kills one or two enemies and sometimes shoots into the air, small Crossbow Arrow can also kill an enemy.

Then why waste so much iron with iron crossbow arrows?

The reason is that when the iron crossbow is nailed to the ground, it becomes an obstacle, a barrier that is difficult for a horse to cross, especially if a horse is shot down.

As a result, a row of iron crossbow arrows were shot out, and the Xiongnu cavalry immediately stopped running smoothly.

After thinking about it, Mouton ordered the guards:

"Put Mingdi, please help!"

The guards responded and shot Sanji Mingdi into the air...

Mingdi is a commonly used communication arrow by the Huns. It is to add a hollow whistle to the back half of the arrow, which will make a special howling sound when shot into the air.

It is said that "the arrow is used for communication" because the Huns usually use not all arrows.

After adding a whistle, the balance of weight and weight is difficult to make. The Huns will add a whistle to each arrow only when they are full and have nothing to do.

However, the response after waiting was two beeps... Two beeps indicate that reinforcements are difficult.

Mouton was a little strange. King Youxian led the offensive with ten thousand cavalry. How could it be difficult for reinforcements?

A few people were sent out to find out that the outer cavalry had also been attacked.

It was no one else who attacked the outer Huns cavalry, but the 1,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry led by Wang Ben.

Shen Bing's idea was very simple. His goal was the Huns' cavalry who broke through the walled defense.

These cavalry are easy to come in but difficult to get out.

But if you want to trap these rushing Huns cavalry, you must disrupt the outlying 10,000 cavalry.

So Shen Bing divided the labor:

More than 5,000 soldiers from the five castles used the castles and terrain to trap enemies who had penetrated into the defense line, while the army led by Wang Ben was responsible for repelling the enemies outside.

The former is relatively easy, because the strength of the two is similar, and the enemy is more than 5,000.

The Qin Army has the advantage of a walled city and a crossbow. On the other hand, it is the Yellow River with no way to retreat. It is not difficult to trap the enemy.

The latter is difficult, repelling more than 10,000 cavalry with 3,000 troops.

But it's not difficult.

Because Shen Bing asked for repulsion rather than defeat.

Repelling means to keep it away from the walled area so that the walled area will not be attacked by the Huns from both sides.

And Qin Jun has a crossbow with a much longer range and a faster rate of fire, especially the bed crossbow...

As Mouton thought, the point of the bed crossbow is not to injure the enemy, but to become an obstacle to the cavalry.

And the more than 10,000 Huns cavalry in the periphery can attack the city by riding their horses and turning in circles, except in any direction.

The three thousand men and horses of Wang Ben only need to use crossbows and bed crossbows to jam the source of the Huns cavalry circle, and they can force the Huns to retreat.

Therefore, its main force is instead a thousand foot soldiers, and the two thousand cavalry are just one left and one right to cover its two wings.

As soon as these thousand step soldiers enter the range, they point the crossbow at the enemy.

With Wang Ben's order, the crossbow arrows were "swishing" at the Xiongnu cavalry that was turning in circles.

How could the simple leather armor of the Huns stop the sharp iron arrows, and they fell from the horseback in pieces.

Even more powerful is the crossbow...there are not many, there are only ten in a thousand pawns.

But ten bed crossbows shot ten iron crossbow arrows to the ground at a time, it was like erecting a fence, immediately disrupting the formation of the Huns cavalry.
