On the day the empress ascended the throne, my body was hung at the city gate

Chapter 54: The King of Qin Who Swallowed Mountains and Rivers

"I was really stupid at that time."

Wu Mingyue laughed to herself.

If she could be smarter, perhaps Gu Changsheng's task would not be so difficult and he would not experience so many ups and downs.

For the first time, she felt worthless for Gu Changsheng.

Supporting such an ordinary woman to ascend to the throne of God was really a hardship to the other party.

The monarch of Qin won the government.

Wu Mingyue remembered this name. He was indeed a stunning king.

With the power of swallowing up mountains and rivers, he successively destroyed Chu and Jin, and once again declared war on the remaining three kingdoms of Zhou, Han, and Ming, forcing them to join forces to contend with them.

The strong crossbow is in front, and the sword is behind.

When the Qin army went to war, they paid most attention to the formation of troops.

The crossbowmen came first, followed by the spearmen.

At that time, Qin's individual crossbows could already do this. Within 600 meters, if there was no army, they would see the rain of arrows first.

Often when a round of arrows rains down, most of the team has already been lost.

Even if someone is lucky enough to survive the first round of offensive, the remaining spearmen are not vegetarians.

Spears can be used for both throwing and melee combat, both offensively and defensively.

At that time, the Qin army had almost no defeats in facing the enemy.

But my naive self actually regarded such a war as child's play.

Gu Changsheng's sword strike was very good!
Wu Mingyue couldn't wait to go back to that day and do it herself, so that she would have a long memory when she was young and didn't know the heights of the world.

However, at that time, Zhou Dynasty and Qin State were at war with each other and were incompatible with each other.

How did Gu Changsheng, as a soldier on the front line, get in touch with the left prime minister of Xianyang City?

Wu Mingyue couldn't help but have doubts in her eyes again.

How did Gu Changsheng and Zhao Gao, two people who had nothing to do with each other in terms of identity or status, get connected?
What role did Gu Changsheng play in his second brother's path to usurping power?
As the yellowed paper pages were slowly turned over in Wu Mingyue's hands.

The past that had never been mentioned by Gu Changsheng gradually emerged before her eyes.

The battle on the front line was urgent, leaving little time for preparations.

Gu Changsheng marched with the army for three consecutive days and nights, and finally arrived at their destination.

Hangu Pass.

Although Qin is the most powerful country among the six countries.

But in fact, the danger faced by Qin at this time was four times that of Zhou Dynasty.

The state of Qin is located exactly in the center of the four kingdoms.

There are four important passes. There is the Zhou Dynasty outside Hangu Pass, Chu State outside Wuguan Pass, Dashan Pass facing the Jin State, and Xiao Pass in the north and the Ming Dynasty that has always kept a low profile.

The four major fortresses just face the four major countries among the six countries.

Now that the six countries are at war, the man in Xianyang City is naturally worried and anxious, and urgently needs to find a breakthrough point to solve the predicament at hand.

Da Zhou, whose national power was declining, happened to be the most suitable target.

When Gu Changsheng arrived at Hangu Pass, the defenders here had just experienced an offensive by the Qin army.

Relying on the advantage of crossbowmen, Qin's military formation only needs to be 600 meters close to Hangu Pass to directly strike first.

At this time, the only means that Dazhou had the ability to respond to enemies remotely was the most common bow and arrow.

While waiting for the archers to climb up the city wall and string their bows, the Qin army's crossbows were already in front of them.

Compared with the cavalry that can restrain the archers, it is completely useless in front of the Qin Bow and Crossbow Camp.

This kind of individual crossbow, which is only possessed by the Qin State, is greatly improved in terms of range and speed compared with bows and arrows.

The cavalry can restrain the archers because the cavalry is fast enough and can take advantage of the transition time after the archers attack to rush directly into the opponent's formation.

But if they want to use this trick on the Qin army, the Gongnu battalion, which accounts for one-half of the entire army, will teach them how to behave on the spot.

During this period, the Zhou soldiers at Hangu Pass were beaten so hard that they did not even dare to climb the city wall.

If you are not careful, you may not even see the shadow of Qin Jun, and become the first to become a hedgehog.

Inside the military camp.

The guards at Hangu Pass are discussing countermeasures.

I don't know if it was because of Wu Mingyue's troubles, but the newest guard took care of Gu Changsheng a lot.While everyone was discussing matters, Gu Changsheng happened to be guarding the gate outside the camp.

When I heard that the Qin State's individual crossbow had a shooting range of a terrifying 600 meters, and could even fire continuously.

He knew something was wrong.

It is a well-known fact that Qin's crossbows were indeed ahead of their time.

But it can't be so outrageous.

As long as you add some gunpowder, you have to catch up with your own fire system.

Could it be that Da Qin has also undergone the same changes as Da Zhou?

Gu Changsheng's heart beat rapidly.

Da Qin alone is scary enough. If Da Qin adds some other characters...

"I think we can first send a row of sword and shield soldiers to consume the Qin Army's crossbow camp, and then send a row of short sword soldiers to follow the sword and shield soldiers to launch a fierce attack."

"Finally ending with cavalry, it will definitely catch the Qin thieves off guard."

In the camp tent, the first general began to speak.

Idiot, this move might still have a chance against ordinary archers.

But when facing Lian Nu, do you want to compare with the Qin army because they have more soldiers under their command or do they want to have more arrows?

Gu Changsheng shook his head without leaving any trace.

Repeating crossbow, compared with bow and arrow.

It means more accurate strikes, longer range, and shorter transition time.

There was almost no chance for them to rush to the enemy's lines.

"No, although the sword and shield soldiers can effectively resist the Qin thieves' crossbows, they cannot block the more penetrating spears behind them."

"Once the spear breaks the shield, won't the cavalry and short-range soldiers behind become targets?"

Fortunately, the general was not too stupid after all.

The idea was rejected immediately.

"I think heavy armor can be used. The only thing the Qin thieves rely on is not the troublesome repeated crossbows. They just need to equip all soldiers with heavy armor."

"The opponent's crossbow arrows cannot penetrate the heavy armor's defense, so they can only be slaughtered."

The second general spoke quickly.

God is so heavily armored.

It can still have effective lethality from 600 meters away.

If you want to completely ignore it, how thick of heavy armor do you need to equip?

Not to mention the manpower and material resources consumed during this period.

By the time the soldiers put on heavy armor and walked in front of the enemy's formation, they would be out of breath from exhaustion without the Qin army taking action.

As for riding a horse, if a man can’t be shot to death, a horse can be shot to death, right?

If you fell off a horse while wearing such heavy armor, you would have to suffer internal injuries first.

Unless the horse is also equipped with such a set of heavy armor.

Then another problem comes.

What kind of sweaty BMW can carry such a weight.

Gu Changsheng's mouth twitched slightly.

"This is a wonderful plan, but it's a pity that the current shape of my Zhou Dynasty's armor can't resist the Qin thieves' crossbows. It's forged from scratch, and time doesn't support it."

"Sorry sorry."

After hearing the No. 2 general's strategy, the leader's eyes lit up at first, and then he sighed heavily and helplessly.

Judging from his tone, if there really were so many heavy armors, he would really want to do this.

Gu Changsheng's eyelids jumped as he looked at the door outside the tent.

I am somewhat fortunate that the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have so many heavy armors, otherwise there would have been another Hangu Pass War God in the history books.

Gu Changsheng couldn't help but touch his nose and smile bitterly.
