Daqin Engineers

In this small battle, more than 300 people were killed or injured by the murderous slave.

To be precise, it should have killed more than three hundred people. Almost all the wounded were "cleaned up" by the Qin army, unless there were still a few hiding in the dark or undetected in the dead.

But Chieda certainly didn't want to stop there.

He calculated in his heart that he led a thousand guards, and every time three hundred people died, he could fight five times.

Uh... four or five times?

And Qada counted it off with his fingers. It seemed that it wasn't four or five times, and it wasn't three times at the same time.

It's not clear if you can't make up the whole thing.

But whatever it is, all of them as single-guards are elite, not only good at riding and shooting, but also good at close combat. They are all veterans selected from the army.

How could Qieda surrender in front of a few small villages built by hundreds of Qin troops?

So after a group of Mingdi, the Huns stabilized their positions and launched another wave of offensive.

This time Qieda also knew that it had changed a tactic, the frontal attack remained the same, but the two wings outflanked the other direction.

However, the two wings in this direction were steeper towards the south side of the mountain. The Huns were slow and extremely difficult to climb, not to mention, the Qin Army's crossbow arrows could also shoot at the head from top to bottom.

The Huns raised their shields over their heads to cover them, thinking that they would be able to attack smoothly.

In a way, this can really avoid the attack of the three-bow bed crossbow. The reason is that the three-bow bed crossbow is mainly arranged at the highest point far away from the Xiongnu. The steep terrain will become a dead spot for the three-bow bed crossbow.

The Qin Army shot several iron crossbow arrows, all flying over the heads of the Xiongnu...The ballistic trajectory of the iron crossbow arrows was also relatively straight, and could not threaten the target located in the col.

This made the attacking Huns ecstatic for a while, shouting loudly and attacking the front walled city from the two wings.

However, before their arrogant screams had fallen, they heard a "creak" from the opposite side, and a black shadow took off into the air with a beautiful arc...

"Stone bullet!" The Xiongnu shouted, then turned his head and ran.

But then it was too late to run.

The stone bullet hit the ground with a "boom" sound. Because the Yinshan Mountains are mostly hard rocks, the stone bullet didn't stop there after it hits the ground. It raised a piece of flying gravel while jumping on the steep slope. As he rolled down, he immediately shot a large swath of the Xiongnu who was uphill.

After the stone bullet passed, the Xiongnu looked back and found that some of the wounded behind him were smashed into brains, some had their legs broken, and the most tragic one was that they were hit in the stomach... the abdomen was smashed and all red The black splashed all around, but the person was still alive. Painful hands waved in the air for a while, and he didn't know what he was shouting.

Perhaps the Huns were not afraid of death.

Or it can be said that they do not know life or death.

This is also because of its uncivilization. They regard life and death as a very normal and natural thing, and of course they are not afraid of not knowing what death is.

But they know the pain and the taste of injury, and they can feel the screams of their companions.

So this miserable scene was shocked on the spot, you pushed me and I pushed you, everyone didn't know whether to advance or retreat and hesitate.

And Qida let out a roar from behind:

"Offensive, otherwise I will demote you all to slaves!"

Relegation to slavery should be the most severe punishment in the Huns. It is crueler than killing them, because once they are relegated to slaves, life is worse than death, and they are usually never turned back, including offspring...

The Huns are a slavery country. Unlike the Qin State, which is semi-feudal and semi-slavery, slaves can redeem themselves through their family or themselves.

A slavery country is completely the personal belongings of the slave owner, including the children born, and there is no hope.

Therefore, the Huns could only step forward again cautiously.

But soon another stone bullet flew...

The stone bullet is almost invincible on this slope, it can destroy any attacking enemy, no matter how many people there are.

Therefore, if he attacks like Qieda, sooner or later his men will be wiped out.

Fortunately, Mouton caught up in time to stop Qieda.

In fact, Mouton felt uncomfortable when he heard that the Qin Army Walled City was on the top of the mountain:

The Qin Army built a walled city on the top of the mountain, which meant that the Qin Army had come prepared, and had been here for at least a few days, but didn't do anything until then.

If this is the case, Qin Jun would not want to escape, but would probably stick to it.

So Mouton understood why Qin Jun attacked gunpowder workshops instead of mines.

It's not hard to guess.

If the Qin army just sent a small team to evacuate after the sneak attack, it should choose to blow up the mine. Only in this way can the Xiongnu be unable to make gunpowder for a longer time.

But if the Qin Army wants to garrison for a long time...the mine is always under its attack range, why rush it for a while?So of course it is to attack the gunpowder workshop.

What Mouton didn't understand was that the Qin Army had passed the Yinshan Mountain alone and had few troops. Why could he stay here for a long time?

He understood when he rushed to the top of the mountain surrounded by guards.

The Qin army occupied the highest peak and built a fortress at a dangerous point. However, the mountain road was so steep that the Huns could not swarm them even if there were too many people. A group of only a few hundred people could go up.

Under this circumstance, it can be said that as long as the Qin army still has arrows and supplies, the Xiongnu will have nothing to do with them.

Mouton immediately ordered the troops to stop the attack.

Usually in this situation, "siege without attack" is the best countermeasure.

But after Mouton looked around and observed the terrain, he immediately realized that it could not be enclosed...

The Qin army's supply line is at the rear, built on the cliff with ropes and rope ladders.

Unless the Xiongnu can go around this cliff to cut off its supply line.

But this is easier said than done.

Climbing along the cliffs?

Or rely on ropes like Qin Jun?

That would only become the target of Qin Jun's crossbow.

Another way is to build a new line of defense between the Qin army and the mine to prevent the Qin army from destroying it.

But after thinking about it, Mouton sighed and shook his head.

This will not make any sense.

Because just as Mouton analyzed before, the Xiongnu's advantage lies not in perseverance but in mobility.

If you want to build a defense line to protect the safety of the mine, isn't it a stubborn defense?

How many people are appropriate?

Three thousand?

Five thousand?

even more?

Didn't that give Qin Jun a definite target?

If the Qin Army broke through the wolf mouth and outflanked this, wouldn't it be that the five thousand people were attacked from top to bottom?

Will Mouton be saved or not?

Rescue becomes the main force face-to-face decisive battle.

If you don't save it, you must lose both the mine and the troops!

Therefore, the Xiongnu's ability to maneuver has its advantages, and the Qin army's good offensive and defensive skills also have its advantages.

When fighting with the enemy, it is important to see whether the generals can grasp their own strengths and use their strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.

What Shen Bing did was to firmly grasp the offensive and defensive characteristics of the Qin Army, so that Mao Dun was in a dilemma.
