Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 1145 Liberalization of Cannons

And Wan Quan, this fledgling young general, although his determination is not as firm as Zhu Xu's, his vigor cannot be ignored.

As long as General Cui arrives in time, as long as the Beifu soldiers come to meet him, let alone Qinzhou, even if they go straight to Chang'an City, it will be no problem at all.

In Qinzhou City, Yao Xing, who was watching the situation, also saw the soldiers and horses in the distance, and sighed: "It's so fast!"

"It seems that Di Qin still has some strength." Beside Yao Xing, stood an eight-foot-long, unusually burly man. He was the most important counselor beside Yao Chang and Yao Xing, Yin Wei.

Speaking of which, this person still has some connections with these Qin soldiers, just because the Tianshui County they guarded is the birthplace of Yin Wei.

He is a person from Tianshui.

"You Sima, look, how should we deal with it?"

"I received a report today that the main force of the Jin army has arrived near the Weishui River. If they support the Qin army, our army will be in a disadvantageous situation."

This is actually a very real problem. For the current Yao and Qiang tribe, defending this Qinzhou is the biggest task.

After all, the enemy's first wave of offensive is always the most violent and the most thoughtful. Fighting is all about fighting with momentum.

As for the momentum, it tends to decline again and again, and it will be exhausted three times. If the enemy can defeat their soldiers when they are aggressively attacking, then it will be a great benefit for the Yao and Qiang tribe.

Besides, if you can't defend Qinzhou, aren't other places even more dangerous?

Not to mention Di Qin, even the Jin army who came to attack from a long distance, Yao and Qiang's tribe is very clear about where their goals are.

Chang'an!

Only Chang'an!

Whether it is Di Qin or Da Jin, they are all envious of this thousand-year-old capital. If they can conquer Chang'an in one fell swoop, they will spare no effort.

This is a very clear strategy, almost an overt conspiracy on the surface.

It was precisely because they understood the importance of the Battle of Qinzhou that the two generals, Yao Chang and Yao Xing, gathered here.

I hope to inflict heavy damage on the Northern Expedition army in one fell swoop.

However, now, they were the ones who were hit hard first.

Zhu Xu's first attack caught them off guard. They suddenly discovered that Di Qin and Da Jin, who had always been incompatible with each other, joined forces!
How can this be?

Could it be that Fu Rong sent Zhu Xu to Tianshui just for this day?

It has to be said that even Yin Wei, who is witty and cunning, was shaken by this move, and he didn't expect it at all.

"My lord, before the Northern Expedition troops come to reinforce us, we should attack first!"

This is natural, and Yao Chang will not fail to understand this truth.

Although it is said that soldiers are deceitful, the strategy on the battlefield is actually not that deep. In terms of timing, they often use various means to create time differences and seize rare opportunities to attack.

"I think they still have less cavalry, mainly infantry, Xing'er, go and charge with the cavalry!"

Take the initiative!

Facing Di Qin, the current Yao Qiang tribe can be said to be full of confidence. After all, it has been a few months since they have confronted them. Yao Chang is very clear about the strength of these defeated soldiers.

The reason why the old horse stumbled in Tianshui was because Tianshui was already in Di Qin's hands.

It didn't belong to Yao Qiang originally, they just wanted to capture Tianshui, so it is completely normal that Tianshui has not been defeated now, as for being forced to the city of Qinzhou by Diqin troops now, it is entirely because of anticipation. Insufficient estimation does not mean that the strength of the Qiang army is not good.

Yao Xing took the order, organized his subordinates without saying a word, and went straight to the target!

The so-called surprise attack is all about suddenness, to make the enemy unprepared. As the eldest son of Yao Chang and the most capable general of Yao Qiang's tribe, Yao Xing is of course well versed in this.

Leading the army out of the city, what they seized was the gap where Diqin's troops were still not firmly established, which was convenient for them to make a surprise attack.

After all, there is Qinzhou City behind them.

In general, there are still advantages.

Outside the city, Wan Quan and Zhu Xu had to make preparations.

The war is about to start!
Dangerous!

"I hope that the Beifu soldiers will come to reinforce as soon as possible!"

Looking at the dust rising in the distance, Wanquan sighed like this. Although he has never seen it before, he has also heard from Wanquan that there is a mysterious firearm among the Beifu soldiers, which is very powerful. You can sweep away a large piece.

The reason why the Beifu fought consecutive victories was because of the help of these artifacts, and these artifacts definitely represented a new force on the battlefield.

That power is not comparable to the swords and guns in their hands now.

In other words, without firearms, it would be very difficult for Beifu soldiers to seize so many territories with the strength of Beifu soldiers alone.

But now, the Jin and Qin coalition forces rushing out of Tianshui are facing the screaming Yao Qiang tribe. Their combat effectiveness is definitely higher than that of Di Qin at that time.

Just based on the current things in the hands of their two armies, it is uncertain whether they can stop the Qiang people's blades.

"Go ahead!"

"Fire arrows!"

"Form up!"

The cavalry has already rushed out. In the age without firearms, the best way to resist the cavalry attack is to use the rigor of the phalanx so that the horses have nowhere to go.

Of course, this is the worst strategy among the worst, because in the impact, there will be many fearless infantry casualties.Its function is only to delay the impact of enemy cavalry.

Of course, if the combination of battle formations is appropriate, it can also cause a lot of damage to the cavalry, so there must be a group of skilled archers.

At this time, it is up to General Zhu.

The moment the city gate was opened, countless clusters of arrows flew down from the tower like a waterfall.

There is no need to doubt Yao Qiang's archery skills. The hit rate was the number one in the past before Di Qin collapsed.

As a result, a wave of arrows rained down, and many Jin troops rushing forward were affected, causing countless casualties.

Although they knew that it was a battle of great disparity in strength, the soldiers were not afraid, because they already knew that as long as they persisted here for a while, they could buy more time for the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Yes!

Wang Mi thought so too.

So, at this moment when the Tianshui was stable, he immediately went up the Mian River to the Wei River, and headed straight for Qinzhou!

Zhu Xu and the others must be reinforced as soon as possible.

However, before arriving in Qinzhou, the vanguard of the Northern Expedition, the Jingzhou troops led by Huan Chong, encountered resistance from the Yao and Qiang tribes.

These arrangements were prepared from the beginning.

According to Yao Chang's initial estimate, the Jin army did not have good intentions here. If such a large-scale army is only to deal with a Tianshui County, it would be too mobilizing.

In the account books of the Jin army, these cities occupied by Yao Qiang must also be targets.

For a long time, news of the Jin army's activities near Liangshui has been continuously spreading to Chang'an. It would be a lie to say that Yao and his son are not in a hurry.

They had known the size of the Northern Expedition for a long time, and their strength was also clear to both father and son.

The reason why they have been kept on hold, so honestly, is because the Jin army is too powerful!

So many important towns in Diqin, as well as the distant city of Ye, were all captured by the Jin army one after another. Although Yao Qiang had never directly fought against the Jin army so far, in their hearts, the Jin army It is also an invincible myth.

That kind of invisible deterrent is still quite huge.

As a result, Yao Qiang, a mysterious weapon of the Jin army who had never seen before, was also shocked by their legends.

Don't dare to rush in easily.

They only dared to garrison along the Weishui River. However, although they had prepared in advance, they still prayed silently: Don't come this way!

Let's attack Tianshui!

It's a good place to surrender without a fight!
Since the collapse of Di Qin, the Yao and Qiang tribes had never confronted the upgraded Beifu soldiers, so they were still very guilty.

Yao Chang still has a certain fluke mentality. On the one hand, he also understands that when the army arrives, it is impossible for the Wei River to be completely undefended. It is absolutely unreasonable.

However, Yao Chang still placed his bets mainly on Tianshui and Diqin. He prayed that at least there would be a battle here first, and let Yao Qiang see the legendary artifact.

It's good to be prepared in advance.

And this battlefield, it is best to be in Tianshui, turning this place into a battlefield, anyway, it is Diqin's territory, and Yao Chang will not feel bad.

Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, and the army of the Northern Expedition turned around and rushed to Qinzhou!

Therefore, when the Beifu soldiers came along the river, they discovered that the defenses along the Weishui River were quite imperfect, and even the personnel were not complete.

What's happening here?
Isn't this a golden opportunity?
It's a pity that the soldiers stationed on the Weishui River are still transferred from Qinzhou City, so that the defense of Qinzhou City is empty, and the troops on the Weishui River side cannot stop the Jin army.

After entering the Weishui River, under the command of Wang Mi, the army of the Northern Expedition was divided into two groups, one of which was naturally heading for the Qinzhou city tower.

It was the troops led by Huan Chong, mainly Jingzhou soldiers.

One of their main tasks is to reinforce Zhu Xu, and the other is to deliver firearms for them.

At this time, there is no distinction between you and me.

After all the firearms gathered at Jingkou, they were combined into one road, whether they were used or transported, they all obeyed Wang Mi's command.

At this moment, Huan Chong had already brought some firearms and soldiers to support Zhu Xu's troops. Of course, to Wang Mi's satisfaction, he also took Huan Xuan away!
This is really a great thing!

Totally worth celebrating.

Putting this person under his command, Wang Mi was really worried about what kind of things he would do.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Facing the Qiang soldiers on the river bank who were about to shoot their bows and arrows, Zeng Jing couldn't hold back anymore.

In fact, many people now maintain the same mentality as him, because the Beifu soldiers led by Wang Mi are basically composed of soldiers who have been fighting with him from Xiangyang to this time.

The number of people is really quite a lot.

These people, who have won many battles, are excited, and their hands are itchy when they see the war coming.

Already eager to try.

When they were on the march, they always wanted to find a few soldiers from Yao Qiang to practice their skills. Who knew that these people were so timid, they could often see their sentries across the river bank, but they just dared to spy on them The movement of the Jin army did not dare to provoke.

They didn't dare to throw a little bit, and they didn't dare to attack, so the Beifu soldiers could only continue to march, and they couldn't take the initiative to attack.

After all, under the general direction of the Northern Expedition, their personal intentions are all placed in a secondary position. Soldiers, their vocation is to obey orders.

This is the same in every era, and Beifu soldiers are no exception.

At that time, Wang Mi's request was to arrive in Hanzhong as soon as possible to join forces with Cui Yanyou. Under such a rapid march, he naturally had no energy to fight with Yao Qiang's troops.

Now, the Beifu soldiers who were suffering from suffocation were finally released!
let's hit!

Kill it!
The precious sword that has been covered in dust for a long time already wants to be stained with blood!

"Don't get too entangled with them, go directly to the artillery!"

Zeng Jing nodded: "Of order!"

Since returning to Jiankang City to rest, Wang Mi and the young generals under him have not been idle, and they are carrying out various transformations within their own capabilities.

Among them, the transformation of firearms is naturally indispensable. The advanced representative is the red cannon, and the rest of the parts are not equal to stagnation.

For example, the construction of various arms has also made great progress.

After practice on the battlefield again and again, people have gradually concluded that the artillery used by individual soldiers has a short throwing distance and is not powerful enough.

Although for the other party without firearms, as long as these weapons are in command, as long as they appear on the battlefield, they are like crushing existence.

It is guaranteed to cause a devastating blow to the enemy, however, the Beifu soldiers are still not satisfied.

How can I increase the attack power of primary artillery?
They gradually discovered that according to the characteristics of artillery, it is better to gather all the fighters who are good at using artillery and build a special team. When they need to appear on the field, they will throw them together, so that the firepower can be concentrated in one place.

The power increased instantly.

In fact, this is also a very common method of adaptation, just like the cavalry also has a special cavalry team, and the archers often appear in teams for the same reason.

The purpose is to be able to concentrate the superior forces together and strengthen the attack power.

Since the formation of the Artillery Team, Wang Mi handed it over to Zeng Jing to manage it. This person has a shrewd mind and quick response. Naturally, he can rest assured that such an advanced unit as the Artillery Team can be entrusted to him.

Many people also want to say, what about the red cannon?

Why didn't you show that kind of mighty artifact to frighten them?
This is of course impossible, and Wang Mi will not approve it.

Such a waste.

Really, not economical at all.

Such a waste!

So extravagant!

Although the red cannon is good, it should be used with ease. After all, the current reserve is too small, whether it is the cannon body or the shell, and Wang Mi feels that now he can fully appreciate the red army's memory. It's the kind of mentality when you are in war.

Really.

One cannonball can't wait to be used in two, as if there is only one machine gun in a squad, and there is always a reason why there is always insufficient ammunition.

Assuming that we have that condition, we can really realize the autonomy and liberalization of the red cannon, so why are we still dawdling here?
