Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 985
The drizzling rain finally stopped.

The breeze blew after the rain, but it didn't bring fresh air, only the stench of blood.

Under the Dafei Mountains.

The mountain wind blew and rolled up the broken flag on the ground.

Most of the white battle flags have been dyed red.

Under the banner, corpses were piled upon layers.

The fence at the forefront of the Qin army's camp was several miles away from the nearest enemy army. There was no trace of trampling on the front, and the corpses appeared on the east side.

There was a steep slope over there, but last night, more than a thousand Tuoba tribes of Dangxiang Qiang came to steal the camp, intending to climb up the mountain with hooks and cables, but unexpectedly, the Qin army was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, guarding them tightly, and deliberately let them go Get close, and when they're halfway up, they suddenly appear.

Thousands of arrows were fired, and the arrows flew randomly.

Immediately afterwards, a Qingqi came out, and before the stupid Qiang from the rear came to meet him, the Qingqi of the Qin Army had already ended the battle. Thousands of soldiers from the Tuoba tribe were shot and killed, and their heads were chopped off by the Qingqi. Then he was tied under the saddle by Qin Jun's Qingqi, and returned victorious with a whirlwind roar.

All that was left was their headless corpses.

The victorious Qin army put their heads on the fence, and on each picket, there must be a stupid Qiang head hanging high. These people stared blankly at the Qiang camp in the distance, but they But never go back.

The Tuoba tribe sent thousands of people to help them, but it was too late when they arrived, leaving only headless corpses everywhere.

They wanted to collect the corpses, but they lingered and dared not approach them when they saw the corpses lying all over the mountain.

Until dawn, the leader of the Tuoba tribe asked Choufan to bring several soldiers and horses, and advanced to the front of the mountain, intending to defend himself and collect the corpse.

Although the summer breeze is cool, the air is full of murderous aura.

"Are you all ready?"

On the mountain on the east side, Siye asked in armor.

"Please don't worry, commander-in-chief. Our catapults can shoot up to [-] paces, and our ballista can shoot up to [-] paces. The corpses of the stupid Qiang at the foot of the mountain are all within range. As long as they come, let them pay for it." Make up for the power of our red-clothed cannon."

There is also a regiment of Shenji Army in the Siye Army. They are the most professional artillery in Daqin.

When they went south, the Siye Army did not carry catapults, but catapults were not too difficult for the artillerymen of the Shenji Army. The strongest of the Shenji Army were their gunners and gunsmiths.

As long as there are gunners and gunsmiths, and they are given some time, they will be able to create one magic cannon after another according to standardized operations.

After all, as long as you bring the key ratchet of the Shenji cannon, other parts can be made now. It's just a pile of wood, a preparation box, and a pile of stones.

Although the performance of this kind of temporary construction is worse, it is still rough enough and extremely powerful.

The magic guns that the magic gunners have now are the most powerful ones, with a range of 150 paces and a [-]-jin stone bomb, and everything they hit will be crushed.

Even if this kind of giant heavy artillery is not easy to build, it can fire hundreds of catties, dozens of catties, even fifteen catties, and its lethality is astonishing. Even if it is the Tubo cavalry, the most elite of them all wear double armor, they can't stop it.

The hammer and iron whip in the hands of ordinary cavalry generals weigh only a few kilograms, and they can be hit with a single swing, and those who hit them will be killed instantly, not to mention a cannon that is more than ten kilograms projected from a super long distance?

"Don't use the magic machine for the general, use the magic machine for the lieutenant." Siye confessed.

The gunners of the Shenji Army called their counterweight catapults Generals, among which the top 150-jin stone cannon was called Shenji General, the [-]-jin heavy stone cannon was called Shenji General, and the fifty Those who weighed [-] catties were called Shenji Langjiang, and those who weighed [-] catties were called Shenji Captains. Under Shenji Captains, there were even lighter five-jin Pao Shenji Warriors.

Cannons have the advantages of cannons, and small cannons also have the advantages of small cannons.

Although small cannons have a shorter range and less damage, as long as the enemy approaches, they can kill the enemy by virtue of their numerical superiority.

The advantage of cannons lies in the range. Tubo and Dangxiang people also have some simple catapults in their hands. Their catapults are traditional Chinese-style cable-type catapults. A leather rope, and a group of men behind him yank and throw.

Ineffective, especially at short range.

As long as they dare to advance down the mountain and want to attack the camp with catapults, Siye can let General Shenji and General Shenji fire their giant cannons from a very long distance, directly outside their range, and bombard them wildly. , smashed their catapults to pieces.

Tuoba Leopard, the leader of the Tuoba tribe, had red eyes. He wanted to make a great contribution last night, but unexpectedly suffered such a heavy loss.

There are more than a thousand people, among the 30 troops on all sides of Dafeichuan, it is indeed not many.

But for the Tuoba tribe, this is already more than [-]% of their troops here, especially the [-] Dangxiang Qiang soldiers this time, but they come from the eight major tribes. Although the Tuoba tribe is the strongest among the Dangxiang tribes Yes, but only two thousand came, and more than half of it was directly lost last night.

This group of Dangxiang Qiang people with braids on their heads has been living and nomadic in the source area of ​​the Yellow River in the source of Xiqiang. The conditions here are harsh and the tribes have difficulty multiplying. Only a few thousand.Now the Tuoba tribe has directly died a thousand, which is really the same as the death of parents and fathers.

Now Tuobabao has 1 regrets in his heart, why did he listen to the words of the ugly commander-in-chief, and was provoked in a few moments.

He is wearing a leopard leather armor, which is a leopard he personally killed. Today, he must bring back the bodies of the dead warriors, otherwise, he will have no face to continue to lead the tribe.

Behind him, nearly a thousand Tuoba warriors remained, wearing all kinds of leather armor and a few iron armor. Their weapons were also mixed, including spears, short knives, and bows and arrows.

Tuoba Leopard walked in front of the tribal warriors with a sad face, beat his chest sadly, and told the tribal warriors his sorrow.

"The bodies of the war dead must be brought back to the tribe, so that they can be reunited with the underground Tuoba ancestors."

The magic gunners were a little bored and looked at the stupid Qiang at the foot of the mountain, "What are you talking about, you fucking hurry up."

These gunners have been busy building magic guns during this time, setting up artillery points on the mountain, measuring the distance down the mountain, and making marks. It can be said that everything is ready, and they are waiting for the moment when they can shoot.

Tuoba Leopard yelled at the foot of the mountain for a long time, then knelt down again, cried and begged again, and finally took out a knife and cut his face fiercely, causing blood to flow all over his face.

"Warriors, follow me to bring the warrior spirits of the tribe home!"
