Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 330

The trebuchets were also constantly dropping stone bombs one after another, like meteors from the sky, cutting through the dome and falling on the positions of the coalition phalanx, hitting many chariot soldiers who came raiding!

"Pfft..."

Huge arrows one after another, extremely penetrating, pierced through the body of the war horse in an instant, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Ahhh!"

The coalition soldiers on the chariot were caught off guard, and the chariot rolled over. They were all thrown to pieces, and then trampled to death by the mad horses.

The power of the crossbow is self-evident. Even if they don't directly hit the enemy on the chariot, but just shoot through the horses pulling the chariot, they can immediately lose their combat effectiveness.

What is even more frightening is the power of the trebuchet. One after another, the stone bombs hit a person's body, causing the person to be crushed to pieces and turned into dust.

The entire chariot was also smashed into pieces, overwhelmed!
This bloody scene really stimulated Qi Hou Chujiu, who is the coach of the coalition army.

He never expected that Wu Jun had so many secret weapons.

With a sound of "bang", the furious Qihou Chujiu slammed his fist on the crossbar of the military chariot, and said, "I didn't expect Wu Manzi's weapons to be so sharp, and I underestimated them!"

"It's not unreasonable for Chu Manzi to lose to Wu Manzi repeatedly!"

Looking at the chariot soldiers who were stoned to death or shot to death by crossbow arrows, Qi Hou Chujiu's heart was bleeding.

As we all know, it is not easy to build a chariot, and it is necessary to carefully select some qualified horses to act as the legs to pull the chariot.

The state of Qi is the richest country in the world, there is no shortage of money, no shortage of materials to build military vehicles, but the horses are a big problem!

This is the capital of Qi State to fight for world hegemony!
With just a few waves of crossbow arrows and stone bullets from the trebuchet, the Wu army has already reaped the lives of many coalition chariot soldiers, and destroyed at least [-] chariots!
This made Qihou Chujiu really uncomfortable.

"Beat the drums! The front army charges!"

"Left army and right army attack from the flank! Kill!"

Qi Hou Chujiu was furious, ready to let the coalition forces rush over under the impact of the chariot soldiers with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

As everyone knows, his tactics have already fallen behind.

Not only the tactics are backward, but even the weapons and equipment are far behind. How can we fight this battle?
Win with manpower?
"retreat!"

When more than [-] chariots of the coalition forces were about to arrive, Sun Wu gave another order to let the bed crossbowmen at the front of the phalanx and the soldiers responsible for launching the catapults all retreat.

The trebuchet placed in front limited the impact of the coalition chariots to a certain extent.

"Arrangement!"

After the bed crossbowmen and the soldiers in charge of the catapult retreated, Sun Wu gave another order, and the front army of the Wu army quickly changed their formation.

"Guo Xia, what is Wu Jun's strategy?"

Seeing the phalanx that Wu Jun changed, Qi Hou Chujiu asked Shangqing Guoxia beside him very puzzled.

Guo Xia is a minister trusted by Qi Hou Chujiu and a general of Qi State. Although he has no achievements, he is also well-known.

However, after seeing the phalanx formed by Wu Jun, Guo Xia was still puzzled.

Because according to the war of this era, on the open plains, the only way to deal with chariots is the chariot, there is no other way!
However, why don't Wu Jun's chariots be dispatched now?
At this time, Guoxia, who was questioned by Qihou Chujiu, couldn't help but bite the bullet and said: "My lord, my minister is dull, and I can't see what Wu Jun's tactics are."

"However, from my point of view, Wu Jun's former army chief wrote a letter to 'Sun', and his general should be Wu's great Sima Sun Ping, or his son Sun Wu."

"These two people, I also know, are resourceful, especially Sun Wu, who became famous at a young age and has a talent of the sky, but it's a pity that we can't use it for our country..."

After saying that, Guo Xia couldn't help sighing.

Qihou Chujiu's face was even more gloomy, and he said, "Huh, Sun Ping and his son are not human subjects! The widow treats him well, and respects him as Shangqing, but he fled to Wu State to help the tyrant!"

This is what makes Qi Hou Chujiu most angry.

The exact lineage of Sun Wuzu started from Yu Yanfu, a descendant of Shun.

When King Wu of Zhou defeated Zhou, Yu Yan's father was the pottery official of Zhou State, in charge of making pottery and managing all the pottery workers.

Because of its good management and complete equipment, King Wu of Zhou married the eldest daughter Daji to Man Man, the son of the powerful father, and made him a prince, and established Chen State. King Zhou also gave Man Man the surname.

Known as Hu Gong, he became the first monarch of Chen State.

Starting from Hu Gongman, through the hereditary transmission of ten generations and twelve monarchs, when it came to Huan Gong, civil strife broke out in Chen Guo.

Chen Ligong's son Wan, who was unable to stand up because of civil strife, went to Qi State. He was the direct ancestor of Sun Wu.

Chen Wan was active in the state of Qi, and his fourth grandson, Tian Huanzi (Tian Wuyu), had become a doctor.

Tian Huanzi (Tian Wuyu) had five sons: Tian Wuzi (Tian Kai), Tian Xizi (Tian Qi), Chen Zhaozi (Tian Zhao), Tian Shu, and Ziqian.

Among them, Tian Shu was written in the nineteenth year of Zhaogong, that is, in 521 BC, because of his meritorious service in cutting down Ju, Qi Jinggong granted Le'an the title of Le'an, and gave him the surname Sun. Sun Shu (Tian Shu) was Sun Wu's grandfather.

Sun Ping used to be an official of the Qi State, but it was a pity that because of the internal chaos in Qi State, Sun Ping wanted to retire, so he moved his family to Wu State.

This made Qihou Chujiu very dissatisfied.

"kill!"

At this time, more than [-] military vehicles of the coalition army had rushed into the Wu army's phalanx, but it was a pity that what awaited them was an abyss-like nightmare.

I saw that hundreds of rejection horses had been placed in Wu Jun's phalanx.

Those who refuse horses are also obstacles that block the horses.

The origin of the refusal carbine is a fixed obstacle similar to antler wood.

The shape of staghorn wood is very similar to forked antlers, and the front end of the wood is cut into a sharp point. It is a kind of obstacle placed outside the city to prevent the enemy from approaching the city wall.

Obstacles similar to this have been used in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

However, once set, it cannot be moved!
Because it is used in field positions, it is used in large quantities.

After the emergence of highly mobile cavalry, the mobile refusal carbine came into being to resist cavalry.

This is much better than the one-off antler wood!

In the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was an early rejection of horses, that is, wooden pillars were crossed and fixed to form a shelf, and the shelf was inlaid with sharp things with blades and thorns (bronze or stone knives).

The rejection of horses used by Wu Jun is different.

Obviously improved!
Wu Jun’s horse-rejecting iron spear is the head (later called the horse-rejecting gun), and the solid wood is used as a fixed bracket, and six to ten iron spears are fixed on the frame, spreading all over the enemy’s approach to prevent cavalry or chariot soldiers from galloping.

In wilderness battles, this kind of repelling horses is limited in number after all, so it is rarely used, but it is very useful to fortify the city and repel horses.

"Pfft!"

"Chirp—"

After the troops of the coalition army rushed into the phalanx of the Wu army, they fell into a predicament and had difficulty getting out.
