Daqin Engineers

Chapter 307

So this weaponry doesn't mean that it's all equipped with advanced or long range.

An army, especially an army that is going on the battlefield, should consider the combination of various firepower, even in modern thermal weapon combat:

Long-range rifles include sniper rifles, medium-range assault rifles, close-range submachine guns, and supplementary firepower machine guns.

Anti-tank weapons include missiles, medium-range anti-tank guns, short-range rocket launchers...

Once the range of which is blank, it is easy for the enemy to grasp this weakness and use it.

For example, if there is no effective anti-tank weapon at 300 meters, the enemy can attack this distance.

Although warfare was different in ancient times, the truth is the same.

The infantry and cavalry should be combined with each other, crossbows and arrows should complement each other, instead of one-sided emphasis on defense like the Roman army.

After the Xiongnu's more than 10,000 cavalry forces were forced to retreat by Wang Ben and unable to attack the city, Mouton and the five thousand cavalry who broke into the city suddenly discovered that they had planned to encircle the Qin army but are now surrounded by the Qin army...

Isn’t it an encirclement for each one in the Qin Jun’s Walled City?

The army of Mouton has thrown themselves into the net.

Fortunately, Mouton has been cautious not to go too deep into the hinterland, so he decisively ordered the abandonment of the attack and a breakthrough by Jiazhai.

This is the shrewdness of Mouton.

Protruding from wherever you come in... Jiazhai is the farthest from Yunzhong City, the easiest to enter, and of course the easiest to protrude.

Breaking out of the encirclement is the most taboo to hit here and rush there.

This is easy to understand.

If the Qin army wants to use these five villages as a support point to form an encirclement, then all five villages need to be garrisoned, otherwise there will be weaknesses.

So the Qin army used five thousand troops to encircle Maodun, and five thousand for Maodun.

If Mouton hits here and there abruptly, it is a game of five thousand to five thousand.

But if Mao Dun concentrated his forces to attack only one village, it would be five thousand to one thousand, and it would not be impossible to break through.

But even if he was shrewd and reacted strangely, he was still a miss.

The Qin army lined up in the walled city and then overthrew Muzha. It takes more than a hundred steps to shoot the crossbow to both sides, and the two walled cities can extend to the middle area, covering almost the entire area.

The Xiongnu cavalry rushed to the middle, and was immediately shot down by the crossbow arrows intertwined with two wings.

If this is the case, then the Xiongnu might still break through.

After all, the speed of crossbow arrows is limited, but the Xiongnu cavalry forces come and go like wind, and the casualties of the crossbow arrows can also rush out most.

The problem is that the weapon used by the Qin army to stop the Huns is not just a crossbow...

Shen Bing specially prepared arrows for the Huns.

This rope arrow is fired by a three-bow bed crossbow.

The three-bow bed crossbow is mainly used to shoot iron crossbow arrows, but such a useful thing is of course not only used to shoot iron crossbow arrows.

The range of its iron crossbow arrow is only more than 100 steps, but if it is replaced with a lighter cord arrow, it can reach more than 200 steps.

The arrow is made of iron.

Shen Bing made it almost like an anchor.

The body of the arrow is made of wood, with a wooden feather on the tail.

Kiba is necessary, only in this way will the arrow be balanced and the head will always face forward.

Then connect a thumb-thick twine to the tail.

After the bow is fired, the anchor will throw the "anchor" on the head two hundred steps away.

The anchor is very interesting. Its unique shape will make it inevitably tip down and inserted into the ground diagonally once it is towed.

Needless to say why Shen Bing used it here.

As long as the rope is tripped by a running horse... the horse itself will trip, not to mention, it will also make the anchor at the other end grab the ground, because it also has an arrow body and the anchor is inserted diagonally into the ground. It will also rise to a certain height, and even on the walled side, it can be artificially raised and lowered to adjust the height.

The result is a perfect triphorse.

There are one thousand people in each city, and ten three-bow bed crossbows for every thousand people. Ten three-bow bed crossbows can draw ten slings in one salvo.

And this was just a volley, and it was still a city... The two city walls fired into the open space at the same time, but the tea time between the two cities was like a cobweb.

Those Xiongnu cavalry who were breaking through the siege couldn't avoid it, and one after another tripped over the horse sling.

So there was a scream of horses, but the Huns were in a mess without the Qin army's hands... Falling from the high-speed horses is not a joke, even if you don't die, you'll only have half your life left.

At this time, the Qin Army fired several waves of crossbow arrows, and a bloody storm amidst the screams of the Huns in the middle area.

Mao Dun couldn't help being shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly stopped the team that broke through, and shouted at the same time:

"The Qin people are hateful, this is clearly a trap, we are caught!"

If Shen Bing heard this, he would laugh out loud on the spot.

Such bandits as the Huns would actually call others hateful?

Blame others for laying traps?

At that moment, Mouton seemed to understand that it would be difficult to escape today.

Because if this is the case here, I am afraid that there are slings in other places, so the cavalry is completely trapped in the line of defense.

Without any hesitation, Mouton ordered:

"Dismount and fight!"

The Xiongnu responded and got together one after another, and under the leadership of Mouton, they rushed out of the defense.

Shen Bing on the other side also got news.

Jiazhai was located two kilometers away, and Shen Bing could only see that many horses gathered in that area and were fighting fiercely, but could not see the actual situation of the battle.

However, it is very easy for Wuzhai to achieve information connection. Jiazhai plays the banner, and then passes from one village to one village, and then naturally someone will interpret it.

Ren reported:

"General, the Xiongnu continue to break out of the siege by dismounting and fighting!"

Shen Bing couldn't help but secretly praised.

Secretly, this Xiongnu deserves to be the king of the grassland, knowing that at this time, he can only survive by dismounting.

Otherwise, if you still ride the horse east and west, you can't get out of the net.

On the other hand, if they dismount their horses and fight on foot, and their 5,000 people concentrate their forces to force a certain place, they can't be helped by the stumbling.

But even so, the Huns would have to be stripped.

This is indeed the case.

The Huns were divided into two groups. One group of two thousand men stormed the walled city, and the other two thousand remnants broke through.

The storming of the city is a fake, the real purpose is to attract firepower to cover the friendly forces to break through.

Because the Huns were good at horse warfare but not foot warfare, many of them didn't even have a shield. It would be idiotic to say Chu if they wanted to take down the walled city where the Qin army was stationed.

However, Qin Jun had to respond again, because the walled city was already full of gaps and could easily be used by the enemy.

So another Huns was able to break through.

This is almost like a gecko's tail-docking escape, otherwise the army will break through the middle in a swarm, and will be ruthlessly shot by the crossbow arrows.

If Shen Bing knew that Mao Dun was the leader of the Huns, who was the future Shan Yu, he would do everything he could to trap him in it.
