Qiang Qin

Terror and despair permeated the Thracians.

Qin Jun's bronze crossbow, like the spikes of a hedgehog, was shot densely at a distance of less than a hundred steps. Even force.

Infantry combat in the era of cold weapons.

Generally speaking, spearmen and sword and shield soldiers are the main ones, while the Qin army is the opposite. They rely more on crossbows as a long-range strike force. Once the two armies are close, the Qin soldiers often carry wine vessels in one hand and Holding a bronze sharp sword, he rushed forward, shouting and shouting.

When the enemy soldiers were killed in hand-to-hand combat, the Qin soldiers cut off their heads with sharp swords as military merit. Such a bloody way of killing allowed the Qin army to gain the upper hand on the battlefield. Now, facing the tall and powerful Thracians, The reorganized infantry soldiers of the Qin Army once again picked up the traditional combat methods.

"Da Qin, Da Qin!" Ji Xin shouted.This was the first time he participated in a life-and-death battle alone, and it was also the most important battle he experienced during the Western Expedition.

A group of soldiers from Marquis Han Anguo was at the forefront of the battle formation. In front of him, the eyebrows and eyes of the thracian soldiers who were chaotic were clearly distinguishable under the light of the fire.

"Brothers, aim and launch!"

"emission!"

Han Anguo, who was born in Qidi, failed to catch up with the end of Qin's unification war. He even had no luck to participate in the Southern Expedition. After serving as a military marquis in a local county for five years, Han Anguo resolutely bid farewell After leaving his family, he decided to join the second batch of Qin troops in the Western Expedition.

"Big man, get fame on the battlefield!" In these years, in Qin State, the whole country was unified by force, and the concept of building a country with force has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The words of military merit.That would be looked down upon by people.

Han Anguo longed for one day to be able to return to his hometown in fine clothes, one day to be able to wear red and flowers, and let all the beautiful little women in the county look at him with affectionate eyes.

"Han Junhou, look at the Baiyi people?" Just as Han Anguo's thoughts were spinning, a soldier beside him shouted in shock.

When Han Anguo turned his head to look, he saw a group of Thracian soldiers holding javelins about one height in the flank, and they were about to throw them.

Compared with the Qin army with machine crossbows, the backward productivity and production technology of the Thracians doomed them to be unable to have the same advanced weapons as the Qin army.However, the Thracians also have their own special weapon, that is, the sharp and powerful javelins in their hands.

javelin.

That is, a long gun.

Its origin was invented by the Greeks, the old rivals of the Thracians. In the Olympic Games of later generations, the javelin event is also a sub-item in the track and field series.

The Thracians have plenty of strength. For them, throwing a javelin with strength is so simple and free, just like eating and sleeping every day.And under uninterrupted training, the javelins in their hands are also extremely accurate, and they can throw them almost wherever they point.

"Porf, porf—!"

"careful!"

Han Anguo's reminder was still a step late.Almost in an instant, more than [-] people fell down on the left wing of the Qin army. Many of them were heavily nailed to the ground by javelins, and their internal organs were immediately damaged.Blood stains flowed all over the place.

"Strong crossbow, shoot together!"

"Light soldiers, press on!"

In the Qin army formation.The school lieutenants and military marquises in charge of the front-line command shouted one after another. Under their command, the once chaotic army formation was restored to order. Tightly ride on the trigger.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

The crossbow arrows advancing in a straight line are like poisonous arrows piercing into people's bodies one after another, making it impossible to defend against. The Thracians hurried, and few people held shields. When they found the danger, everything was too late. Night.A wave of counterattack arrows from the Qin army immediately sent away more than 50 strong Thracian men.

confront each other at close range.

Both took out their trump cards. After only a few rounds, the Thracians couldn't stand it anymore. Their number of soldiers was far less than that of the Qin army. What's more, the javelin was too inconvenient to carry. Under normal circumstances, a Thracian soldier would carry at most three javelins. In contrast, the quiver of the Qin Army's crossbowmen must contain at least twenty arrows in their quiver.

After half an hour.

The Thracian defense line collapsed. In this contest of will, Qin Jun, who has always been known for his iron-blooded spirit, had the last laugh. After the Thracian left nearly 200 corpses and more than [-] wounded soldiers, they rushed Anxiously scattered and fled towards the alleys in the city.

Spartacus lay helpless on the cold ground.

In the contest just now, Spartacus, who was dragged into the battlefield, was fortunately placed at the back of the queue due to lack of strength, which made him lucky to escape the arrow rain of the Qin army, but unfortunately Yes, when the Thracians collapsed across the board, he was stabbed to the ground by the rout in front.

waist.

Waves of severe pain hit, and when I touched it with my hand, it was wet and smelled like blood.

"I'm injured." When Spartacus realized that he was plotted against by his companion, the guy who stabbed him had already fled somewhere.

Qin Jun pressed on step by step.

Han Anguo, who won the first battle, led his Yihou infantry across the Thracian position just now, preparing to continue to advance further into the city.

"Marquis, what should we do with these wounded soldiers?" A low-ranking officer of the Qin Army who looked like a Sima in the army asked.

"Kill them all, leave none behind." Han Anguo was murderous.The Thracian's javelin hit him by surprise just now, seeing the miserable appearance of his brothers, Han Anguo was furious.

——.

Central location of the Bastion.

Cao Xin, the fierce general of the Qin army, led more than [-] generals to surround the last stronghold of the Thrace defenders. The bastion in the city of Constantine was a defensive position built by the Greeks. He has ancient mathematics knowledge and can draw geometry. Graphical Greeks combined their wisdom with practical use, making bastion gradually become the first choice for defense on the European battlefield.

However, the bastion that the Qin army faced was just an ordinary fortress in the original sense, and it was still different from the real bastion that appeared in Europe at the end of the Middle Ages that could defend against firearms.

And this difference mainly lies in the workmanship and materials used when building the fortress. Although the Greeks are good at calculating, they are romantic by nature, but they can't endure hardship. In other words, they are great scientists in theory, but Not a qualified craftsman.

Just use simple square stones to pile up in a prismatic shape, and then randomly stuff a little debris in the gap, and even replace it with grass in some places.

This kind of irresponsibility in construction allowed the Qin army to find a way to break through the bastion. The soldiers of the Tianlei Army who showed their prowess in the battle of breaking the city once again took on the heavy responsibility. At the same time as the root, Cao Xin commanded the heavy armored infantry to hold a giant shield, lined up a thick shield, and blocked the front of the sky thunder soldiers.

Inside the bastion.

The five big and three rough Thracian generals, Adlicia, were in a panic, and the fortified city was breached overnight by bandits from the east. This incident caught the Thracians by surprise.

There are five thousand defenders in the city.

Evenly distributed among the four city gates, there was nothing wrong with this strategy of defending the city at the beginning of the deployment, but after the Qin army broke through the east gate and north gate in succession, the Thracian had to support it hard. On the one hand, they tried every means to make the troops in the other two directions quickly approach the battle site.

When the bastion was besieged, Adlicia only had less than [-] soldiers in his hands, and this power was like a small wave in the black and dense formation of the Qin army outside. movement.Therefore, Adlicia would not be so stupid in the choice of rushing forward to fight the Qin people to the death.

"Quick, smash those yellow-skinned monkeys to death."

"Hurry up, you haven't had enough to eat, right? Those yellow-skinned monkeys can eat people." All over the bastion, Thracian generals shouted, urging their soldiers to suppress the siege troops below the city with all their strength. .

Pieces of sharp millstones fell from the sky.

The force of hitting the shield, multiplied by the speed of the flying fall, was like shells being fired one by one, making the soldiers of the Qin army who were advancing with the shield miserable.In the formation, from time to time, soldiers who were hit by the hit fell down, their arms were broken, and their heads were bleeding. Such scenes added to the cruelty of this battle.

However, the strict military discipline of the Qin army also showed its power at this moment.Although soldiers were dragged out of the team from time to time, those who came later made up for it in time. The densely packed wooden shields covered with iron were like moving hills, making the Thracians terrified and helpless.

Adheria stood at the highest point of the bastion, looked down at the fort, and trembled in his heart: "Why are the Qin people different from the Huns? Didn't they also come from the eastern grassland? Why are they still like this for the infantry formation?" Proficient." In the impression of this Thracian leader, only the rigorous Roman phalanx can have such a deterrent force that makes opponents desperate.

"Boom boom boom!"

Adheria only felt his feet shaking, the ground trembled, and the rocks on the solid bastion were falling off, and behind Adheria, a huge black hole appeared. The two trusted generals standing next to him suddenly disappeared.

"No, the bastion is about to collapse!" Someone yelled in despair. Immediately, all the Thracian soldiers turned pale no matter which floor they were on. If it really collapsed, Then they were buried in a large number of stones, and there was no chance of survival.

The Thracians, whose morale had plummeted, rushed towards the exit of the bastion. Although there was a Qin army blocking the way there, they might be able to kill a bloody road anyway, which was better than being trapped to death. (To be continued..)
