At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 304: The gap in productivity and the disharmony of three views
On October 29, the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, Langya County and Ju County.

"Dong dong dong" the sound of war drums shook the world, and the sound came from far to near.

"The whole army is on alert, the enemy is about to attack." Zhong Lizhen shouted loudly.

"General, please get off the city wall quickly. The enemy's stone cannons are about to attack." Zhongli Mei's soldiers wanted to pull him away from this dangerous place.

At this time, huge hazes appeared one after another, and the haze slowly moved closer to Ju County. Soon, military formations slowly emerged from the haze in the distance. Densely packed Han soldiers, and giant-like stone cannons following behind the soldiers, And this is what Juxian soldiers fear most.

Zhongli Mei brushed aside his bodyguard and said, "This general will not die."

He observed the Han army carefully and found that the silver-colored Han army opposite him was almost a quarter in number. This made him feel bitter. The Qi army soldiers were only afraid of the Han army's stone cannons, but he was afraid of the Han army's stone cannons. Worried about the increasing number of Han armored battalions.

The Han's military industry capabilities are so strong. He can make tens of thousands of pieces of iron armor that cost more than 6 yuan in Qi State in a month. The weapons and equipment of both sides are no longer on the same level. Without Ju County, his -strong army It was not even enough for the Han army to charge once.

"Arrange the sentries, and the remaining soldiers will slowly descend the city wall." Zhongli Mei said helplessly.

They couldn't hold the stone cannons. Zhongli Mei also thought about using bed crossbows and stone cannons to counterattack, but unfortunately the bed crossbows were suppressed by the Han army's crossbow arrows. The gap in productivity between the two sides was too big. The crossbow arrows were like a heavy rain and hit the Qi army. Can't hold my head up. The firepower of the stone cannons was not as good as that of the Han army's stone cannons. After 10 days of shelling by both sides, all the bed crossbows and stone cannons in Ju County were destroyed by the Han army. So Qi Jun entered a situation where he could only be beaten and could not fight back.

"Boom boom boom."

Under the east gate city of Ju County.

Li Zuoche, who joined the army, hesitated and said: "General, the Qi army has been beaten to a halt by our stone cannons. Should our army attack the city now? With the morale of the Qi army at this time, our army will definitely be able to conquer Ju County."

All the real warriors have died in the previous wars, and now these soldiers just want to live.

Because after the fall of Qi, although the Han Dynasty still has enemies, there are no enemies that require the Han Dynasty to assemble hundreds of thousands of troops to deal with them. Not the Wei Kingdom, not the South Vietnam Kingdom, and not even the Huns in the north.

The civilian husband pushed the huge trebuchet forward slowly. Following the Stone Cannon Battalion was a battalion of armored soldiers, who were specifically protecting the Stone Cannon soldiers.

As the long arrows screamed sharply, the curtain of a bloody battle suddenly opened.

Upon hearing the order to attack, tens of thousands of Wei soldiers carried ladders, raised their swords, and roared towards the city wall of Ju County.

At this time, the sound of stone cannons was heard from the east gate of Ju County.

Han Xin said calmly: "Who can not think about this? It's just that after the incident with King Qi, the emperor has become wary of the princes within the Han Dynasty. Now there are rumors that he wants to favor the princes of the Central Plains. King Wei is in a worrying situation."

If he becomes the king of vassals, he will no longer be able to command an army of hundreds of thousands. This battle may even be the last time in his life that he will command such a large army.

At this time, the soldiers of the Qi army on the city wall were hiding under the wall with their heads curled up and using shields to block the other side. Only in this way can they protect themselves in a small space. As long as they dare to fight back, He was shot into a hedgehog by the Han army's long arrow.

But Han Xin didn't want to be the king of princes, or he didn't want to be the king of princes now. He had only joined the Han army for more than three years, and he hadn't fought enough battles, especially a battle like this where he could command hundreds of thousands of troops.

The sound of war drums soared into the sky, shaking the earth and the earth. The flag of Wei State flutters in the wind and makes a hunting sound in the wind.

But Han Xin said calmly: "This general is already a fake general Zhennan in his early twenties. What else is there to win for?"

They even suspected that the Han people were crazy. One long arrow was worth a dou of grain. A wall of the Han army consumed tens of thousands of stones of grain every day. Such intense consumption lasted for a full month. The east gate of Ju County had already been destroyed. Turning into a hedgehog full of long arrows, they even suspected that all the long arrows in the world were transported here by the Han people.

Li Zuoche actually sympathized with Chen Xiao. Back then, his grandfather was betrayed by people within the Zhao Dynasty, while Chen Xiao was betrayed by his own clan.

Xiang Zhuang on the city wall held an extremely large shield in one hand and shouted: "The enemy is coming, prepare to fight."

These people have experienced hundreds of battles, but they have never seen such a crazy dense array of arrows. On their east wall alone, the Han army would shoot hundreds of thousands of long arrows every day. This number is more than ten times that of the most brutal war they encountered.

Han Xin and others knew that the only one who had heard about the favor order at this time was the Wei State. Who allowed Wei State to be in the heart of the Han Dynasty? Although the population of Wei State was not as large as that of Qi State, it was not that small. After the fall of Qi State, , Wei is the vassal state that poses the greatest threat to the Han Dynasty.

The Han army slowly approached Ju County. When it was within one mile of Ju County, Han Xin's horses stopped advancing.

At the foot of Ju County.

When the Wei soldiers began to attack the city, the archers began to stop shooting in order to prevent accidental injuries.

Not long after, shouts of killing also rang out from the east of Ju County.

"The emperor is benevolent and righteous. After destroying Qi, Duke Chen's situation will become better."

Under the city wall, after the Wei army saw that the Qi army suppressed by their own bows and arrows could not raise their heads, the soldiers preparing to attack the city quickly set up a ladder bridge on the moat, crossed the moat in three or two steps, put the ladder on the Juxian city wall, and immediately began to seize the city. City bloody battle.

Han Xin waved his hand with a sneer.

Speaking of this, Han Xin felt a little bit sad. If his position reached his level and he made great achievements, he would be entrusted with the title of Duke, and he could establish his own vassal state outside the Han Dynasty. Within, you can claim a fief to suppress one party.

Just like Han Xin and others thought, Wei Bao cherished this opportunity very much. The country of Wei was too small. Even if he was the younger brother of the King of Wei, there was no room for development. However, if he fought well in this battle and attracted the attention of the emperor, he could If it develops within the territory of the Han Dynasty, it may become a vassal state. Therefore, his desire to make achievements is even more important.

But Han Xin shook his head and said: "Siege warfare is the battle that consumes the most soldiers. If you can use stone cannons to defeat Ju County, why waste the lives of soldiers in vain."

At first, they encountered such a rain of arrows, and the shields in their hands were shot by long arrows, so that many personal guards had to use their own bodies to block the arrows for Xiang Zhuang. Later, they gained experience and all brought door panels to protect them. Xiangzhuang.

Li Zuoche smiled calmly and said: "The general doesn't care about the first achievement, but King Wei's brother wants it very much. Wei Bao really wants to become a prince."

Han Xin said calmly: "Even if you are the Duke of the country, you cannot help yourself."

Li Zuochao said: "This may not be a good thing for the Wei family. At that time, the seven royal families of the Warring States Period had become ordinary people. Only the Wei royal family was still the king of princes. Even if the emperor showed favor, their family's wealth would not be the same. It can also extend your life.”

Wei Bao roared: "Instruct all armies to attack the city with all their strength and capture Ju County at all costs."

Han Xin looked sternly, and then looked at the dilapidated Juxian city wall with his binoculars. I saw dozens of large flags fluttering in the wind on the city wall. The soldiers on the Juxian city wall quickly disappeared. Han Xin understood that they were hiding under the city wall.

For a time, arrows were like clouds in the sky over Ju County, covering the sky and the sun. The war drums were like thunder, shaking the heaven and earth.

Sometimes Han Xin thinks that this damn troubled world ended too quickly.

The Han army's stone cannons bombarded it for many days. The already dilapidated city wall of Ju County became more cracked, and even several huge gaps appeared. Both the Han army and the Qi army in the city knew that the city wall could no longer resist. How long.

Xiangzhuang is surrounded by personal guards, each holding a shield like a door panel to protect Xiangzhuang. Xiangzhuang's guards cannot do otherwise.

Li Zuoche whispered: "Using stone cannons is beneficial to the Han Dynasty, but it may not be beneficial to the generals. Among the three fronts of the Han Dynasty, our army has the best geographical environment. As long as Ju County is captured, Qi will have no danger to defend. The general on the left can surround the main force of the Qi army and cooperate with the emperor to destroy the king of Qi. On the right, he can capture Linzi and seize it as the first attack in the battle against Qi. "

After the arrow rain stopped, Xiang Zhuang shouted: "The enemy is coming. Shoot arrows to fight back. Don't let the enemy climb the city wall."

In order to boost morale, Xiang Zhuang personally blocked the Wei soldiers who wanted to climb the city wall. His personal guards provided him with cover. With the encouragement of Xiang Zhuang, the commander, the Qi soldiers on the wall tried their best to throw stones and wooden blocks. , blocking the Wei army's siege ladder.

The sound of killing was loud all around Ju County, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, a large number of soldiers fell under the city wall, and there were scenes of rivers of blood everywhere on the city wall.

Dusk fell, and the soldiers on both sides were exhausted.

"Dang, Dang, Dang!" The sound of the Han army's retreat came, and the soldiers retreated like a tide.

Wei Bao could only secretly decide to attack the city tomorrow.

Ju County, government office.

Commander Zhong Lizhen summoned the generals of the Qi army to discuss the military situation.

Zhong Lizhen said with a depressed expression: "More than 2 soldiers were injured and killed today. The total number of casualties of our army has exceeded . Now the morale in the city is low. The Juxian city defense can no longer withstand the stone cannons of the Han army. Our army is already at a disadvantage." We are on the verge of collapse. Please share your thoughts on the upcoming war to find a way out for the army."

Xiang Zhuang said resolutely: "The King of Qi treats us very well. At this critical moment, even if we use up our last soldier, we will severely damage the Han's Zhennan Army and gain opportunities for the King of Qi's victory."

Xiang Zhuang's words made everyone's faces darken. This was not the strategy they wanted. What was meant by fighting to the last soldier? Not to mention whether the soldiers had such morale, they did not want to die on the battlefield like this.

Xiang Sheng said: "It is too difficult to severely damage the Zhennan Army in the field. Not to mention that the Zhennan Army has a military advantage three times that of ours, and the Zhennan Army has more and more armored soldiers. If we go to war, we are seeking death." Zhou Yindao : "Now if we defend, if we cannot defend, if we fight, we will not win. For the current plan, we can only retreat and join the King's main force, and then think of a way."

Although Zhou Yin's strategy was not the best, it seemed to be their only way to survive. To escape from Ju County, they did not have to fight the Han army to the death or betray the King of Qi. Although they had an ostrich mentality, it was in line with their hearts.

Other generals also agreed to Zhou Yin's proposal.

Zhongli Mei said: "Okay, let's retreat as a whole."

November 2, the fourth year of the Han Dynasty. At the foot of Liangfu Mountain.

The 150,000 Qi army set up a military formation more than ten miles long in the open field. The army formed a Z-shaped military formation. The banner of Qi King Xiang Yu was at the forefront of the army. On the left was Cao Jiu's army, and on the right was Xiang Ta's army. In the army, under the flying banner, Xiang Yu sat on his Wuzui horse, looking at the Han army in the distance with a stern expression.

A decisive battle with the Han Emperor on the battlefield was a wish that Xiang Yu had buried in his heart for a long time. Back then, when Xu Fan defeated Wang Li and Li You became famous all over the world, Xiang Yu had the idea not to let Xu Fan surpass his predecessors, and even wanted to fight with him. Today, he finally got his wish.

The Han army opposite him was even more powerful. The 4-strong army was divided into a large square formation of people, arranged in a front-line formation, and faced the Qi army with murderous intent.

Xiang Yu drove his horse to the front of the army and shouted: "King Xiang Yu of Qi, please see the Emperor of Han."

Xu Fan drove his horse forward. He also wanted to see Xiang Yu, but when he actually saw it, Xu Fan felt that Xiang Yu was just like that. He was strong and powerful, but in the end it was not beyond his imagination.

Xiang Yu saw Xu Fan and said, "Are you more ordinary than I think?"

Xu Fan said calmly: "I am an ordinary person, but Prince Qi, you are much stronger than I thought. The position of being the leader of the world is really so attractive that you are willing to destroy the hard-won peace."

Xiang Yu snorted coldly: "If a man can't eat with five cauldrons, he should cook with five cauldrons. If you, Lord of the world, can do it, I, Xiang Yu, can do it too."

Xu Fan could only sigh. The two sides had different views. He saw responsibility, but Xiang Yu only wanted rights, so their positions were different. How could they talk together.

Yes, the monarchy pattern in the feudal era was like this. Xiang Yu's image was just the price of art for later generations, and the real Xiang Yu was just a cruel feudal monarch.

Xu Fan said sternly: "Thieves who harm the people, don't blame me for killing you."

Xiang Yu sneered: "You are defeated today, and you are the bandit. From now on, we will each rely on our own abilities."

After saying that, the two of them went back to the formation.

Xiang Yu raised his hand and then waved it down fiercely.

"Boom..." The war drum beat, and the earth-shattering sound of the drum instantly resounded throughout the battlefield.

Xiang Yu came to his cavalry square and shouted: "The army is ready to attack."

The Qi army suddenly shouted to kill, and the 10 Qi army soldiers walked steadily, holding a shield in one hand and a -pound hammer in the other. In order to deal with the Han army's iron armor, the Qi army has now begun After becoming a heavy weapon, it is still easier to make than an armored hammer.

Xu Fan returned to the command post, observed the Qi army's movements with a telescope and ordered: "Order the bow and arrow battalion and the strong crossbow battalion to come forward, drown the enemy troops with long arrows, and kill them on the road passing by."

After receiving Xu Fan's order, the messengers rushed to the front of the military formation.

"Kill, kill, kill!" The soldiers of the Qi army approached the Han army's formation step by step.

When they entered the 150th Division of the Han Army.

Zhonglang shouted at Zhou Bo: "Shoot."

"Boom!" Five thousand long arrows hit the Qi army's formation like a rainstorm, and the sharp whistle of the arrows instantly filled the entire battlefield.

"Raise your shield!" Qi Military Colonel Qi Tong yelled.

The Qi soldiers raised their shields.

"Puff!" Although there was a shield for defense, the shield area was too small. Hundreds of Qi soldiers were hit by arrows, and many of them fell to the ground.

The soldiers of Qi Army continued to move forward 30 steps.

Zhou Bo continued: "Shoot."

"Shhhhhh!"

"Puff puff!" More soldiers were killed by crossbows this time, and many Qi soldiers stumbled over the scattered corpses. The bloody air began to fill the battlefield.

When the soldiers of the Qi army withstood two waves of crossbow fire from the Han army, they were within 100 steps of the Han army.

At this time, Zitong also shouted: "Archer, shoot!"

The soldiers of the Qi army also took out long arrows and shot at the Han army, and it happened that the archers and crossbowmen of the Han army also shot before the Qi army.

The long arrows from both sides met at the high altitude of the battlefield, but they did not interfere with each other.

"Puff puff!"

The Qi army's soldiers screamed incessantly, and a large number of soldiers fell to the ground wailing after being hit by arrows. Their enemy, the Han army, was wearing iron armor. Except for a few unlucky ones who kept wailing when long arrows hit the gaps in their armor, most of the soldiers were not harmed. Their armor bounced off the enemy's bows and arrows.

Seeing this scene, Qi Tong knew that they would be the ones to be defeated with long arrows.

So he yelled: "Come forward and kill!" and then took the lead in the charge.

After receiving the order, the Qi soldiers ignored their formation and rushed towards the Han army.

Xiang Yu yelled: "Okay, this is the man of my Qi army."

"Instruct Cao Jiu to lead the troops to attack the left flank of the Han army."

"Instruct Xiang Ta to lead the troops to attack the right wing of the Han army."

Through the battle just now, he found that the equipment gap between the two sides was too big. A military formation and a war of attrition between one army could maximize the advantages of the Han army's equipment. It was disadvantageous to the Qi army, so he could only let the Qi army launch a war of attrition. A full-scale attack was launched to disrupt the Han army's formation and provide him with an opportunity for a beheading battle.

Zhou Bo sneered when he saw such a scene. Although he could avoid the long arrow attack of the Han army, without the charge of the military formation, he was just asking for death.

"Hold your bows and arrows, spearmen in front, swordsmen behind, prepare to counterattack."

As Zhou Bo's order was issued, tens of thousands of Han soldiers put away their crossbows and took out their spears and swords.

Han army in the army.

Zhang Liang used a telescope to look at the situation on the battlefield, but with hundreds of thousands of people fighting, the battlefield was too wide. Even if Zhang Liang had a telescope, it would be difficult to see the overall situation on the battlefield.

Fortunately, the messengers are also busy. Information from all over the battlefield is gathered here. Zhang Liang can display the battlefield situation on the sand table by observing the battlefield and the intelligence brought back by the messengers.

Zhang Liang frowned and said: "Xiang Yu's 8 troops on the left and right have all been dispatched. They are going to fight us in a decisive battle."

A battle like this involving hundreds of thousands of people, testing the attack, finding weaknesses, and tiring the enemy could take several months, or even a year or two, but this was the first time Zhang Liang had encountered Xiang Yu's direct attack like this.

Xu Fan said: "Xiang Yu is brave, he is used to attacking the enemy and winning in chaos."

Historically, Wang Li's Northern Xinjiang Army was stunned by surprise, resulting in hundreds of thousands of troops being defeated by Xiang Yu's troops.

Then Xu Fan sneered and said: "But he is brave, our Han army is even braver. Let's see if Xiang Yu can defeat our army this time, or our army can defeat Qi army, order the heavy cavalry battalion to prepare for attack. I want to decide the outcome in a battle." "

Xu Fan prepared regardless of the cost, collected the entire Han Dynasty's war horses, and finally obtained 2000 BMWs suitable for carrying heavy loads, and formed this heavy cavalry. This heavy cavalry cost 10 gold, which can be said to be priceless, but This time the heavy cavalry also became the most powerful strategic force of the Han Dynasty.
