Daqin Fusu: It is difficult to start the battle

Chapter 90 Han Xin's Shock

With the flags unfurling and the drums rumbling, Li Xin's order was delivered to Han Xin's ears in the blink of an eye.

"Ready to attack..."

Han Xin waved the small flag in his hand, and the drummer beside him adjusted the frequency of the drums according to the frequency of the flag waving.

The engineer on the side immediately adjusted the amount of stones in the wooden box according to the previously measured data.

Two Kongwu powerful soldiers stepped forward to turn the winch, and cooperated with the engineer to adjust the posture of the trebuchet.

Head-sized stones were removed from the truck and put into the leather pocket at the bottom of the trebuchet.

When everything was ready, a tall soldier with a mallet walked to the base of the trebuchet.

"Let go!" The order flag in Li Xin's hand waved downwards violently.

boom!
The mallet hit the horizontal branch of the base of the trebuchet, and the horizontal branch turned downward, and the iron chain fixing the wooden box was released instantly, and the wooden box sank down, driving the leather pocket to slide, and the stone bullet was thrown out up.

Han Xin was dumbfounded as he watched the stone bullet draw a perfect arc and hit the Qiang infantry on the opposite side heavily.

The trebuchets he had seen and heard of could attack enemies at most a hundred steps away, but this kind of gravity trebuchet had an attack distance of more than 200 steps!

And looking at the engineer's operation, the drooping wooden box should have replaced the human dragging. The more stones in the wooden box, the greater the dragging force!

Han Xin could see clearly that the wooden box was not full of boulders, that is to say, the current attack distance was not the maximum attack distance of these gravity trebuchets!
The most important thing is that Han Xin understood that in order for the trebuchet to be useful in field battles, the trebuchet was not built too large, and there was no time to prepare larger stone bombs in a hurry.

What if it was a long siege?

The reason why Wang Ben flooded the girders back then was not because the girder city defenses were strong, so he flooded them with floods as a last resort, waiting for the city walls to collapse naturally.

What if there were a few or dozens of catapults larger than the current catapults in the siege?

All the strong cities in the world will be a joke!
Han Xin's confidence was like lightning, and stone bullets the size of a human head whizzed down.

Under the deliberate drive of the Rongdi cavalry, the Qiang people shrunk their formation together, which led to the fact that the soldiers operating the trebuchet did not need to aim at all.

Bang bang bang!
Stone bullets falling into the crowd can almost be said to kill them when they hit them, and hurt them when they touch them!

In an instant, not only the Qiang people, but also many Qin soldiers opened their mouths wide. The wrestlers who were beating the drums were stunned for a moment, and then they started beating harder.

When the second wave of stone bombs pierced the sky, all Qin soldiers knew that this battle must be won!

Not many Qiang people were directly stoned to death, but the blow to morale was fatal.

So there were various voices among the Qiang people.

"God, please forgive us!"

"It must have offended the mountain god, this is the punishment that the mountain god sent to us!"

……

Many Qiang people who were blocked by their compatriots and did not see clearly where the stone bullets came from immediately attributed the matter to ghosts and gods.

If it wasn't for the fact that they were too crowded, they would have immediately knelt on the ground and begged the gods for mercy.

But even if they saw clearly where the stone bullets came from, with their limited knowledge, they couldn't understand what a stone throwing machine was at all.

Seeing the turmoil in the formation of the Qiang people, the red and white battle flags were raised one by one on the shogunate.

Han Xin took a look and understood that this was an order to mobilize the former army and the left army to join the battle.

According to Li Xin's arrangement, the [-] infantry in this battle were divided into five armies: front, center, rear, left, and right, and they used red, yellow, blue, white, and black general flags.

The front army belongs to fire and holds the red flag; the middle army belongs to earth and holds the yellow flag; the left army belongs to wood and holds the blue flag; the right army belongs to gold and holds the white flag; the rear army belongs to water and holds the black flag.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
While the drums were beating loudly, the front and left armies immediately moved forward after responding to the flag.

When the two armies were eighty steps away from the Qiang people, the shogunate raised a dog flag again, which was the flag that ordered the crossbowmen to prepare to attack.

In this battle, adhering to the idea of ​​Fusu bullying the poor, the crossbows carried by the Qin army were all more powerful crossbows.

As a result, thousands of crossbowmen walked out of the formation, leveled their crossbows, aimed at the mountain on the crossbow, and waited for the order to fire.

beep!beep!
The sharp whistle broke the silence, and the crossbowmen immediately aimed at their targets and pulled the hanging knives!

The Qiang people standing in the front row subconsciously raised the shield in their hands, and the crackling sound continued.

The Qiang people's wooden shield covered with animal skin was easily pierced, and it fell down like a mowed grass, and painful groans came and went.

As soon as the crossbow was shot, the crossbowmen of the Qin army immediately used their hands and feet to wind the crossbow.

This is what makes Fusu feel sorry, the strong crossbow is very lethal, but the winding is too slow and consumes physical strength.

It's a pity that the productivity is not enough, otherwise he is going to install winches on these crossbows, which can slightly improve the shooting efficiency.

However, the crossbows of the Central Plains, whether for the Qiang people or the later Xiongnu, are also great killers even without winches.

Beep!

The copper whistle sounded again.

The crossbowmen repeated the previous actions, aiming at the target, pulling the hanging knife, and then ignoring the Qiang people who fell like the wind blowing wheat waves, and used their hands and feet to wind the bow.

At the beginning of the battle, according to Li Xin's order, each crossbowman carried fifteen bolts, and their task was to shoot all the bolts before the Qiang people rushed out.

Finally, the seemingly endless crossbow arrows of the Qin people completely made the Qiang people despair. From the position of the Qiang people's heroic chieftain, a desolate horn sounded.

Therefore, the Qiang waved the flail stick in their hands and began to charge to the death.

According to the tradition of Ling Qiang since ancient times, it is auspicious to die in battle, and unlucky to end up with illness.

In later generations, their descendants will even hang a fox tail behind the head of the timid and fearful of war, so that he will die on the spot in minutes.

Seeing that the Qiang people followed his expectations every step of the way, Li Xin nodded slightly and smiled.

On the building car where the shogunate was located, the feather flag for mobilizing the sword and shield infantry, and the flag for mobilizing the halberd soldiers were raised in turn.

After the second army answered the flag, the drums sounded frequently, and the infantry with swords and shields immediately stepped forward, and behind them were halberd soldiers with long spears.

This is because Fusu adjusted the quota of iron castings in the Lantian Industrial Zone, and gradually replaced the original long halberds with iron spears.

The halberds of the Qin Dynasty were almost all cast in bronze.

As long as the recovered halberd heads are simply returned to the furnace and recast, they will become lovely Qin Banliang pieces.

This made Fusu, who was always drooling at the Twelve Jinren, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Without sufficient currency reserves, how to change the existing business model of barter?

Without changing the existing business model, where can we go to harvest the leeks of big households?
