Country and Beauty

A few minutes later, Huan Wen's direct artillery company, with four cannons, arrived underneath Xichuan city. However, due to the low quality of the cannons, there were very few cannons in Qin soldiers. As a result, as a result, they were all trained in the actual combat background, and in reality, one artillery platoon only had one cannon, while the other three squads were responsible for the maintenance and maintenance of the cannons. One squad was responsible for the delivery of ammunition, the other squad was for learning how to operate the cannons, the fourth squad was actually just one company, and the fourth platoon were actually just four squads.

"Reporting to Battalion Commander, we have arrived under the orders of the gunner company. Battalion Commander, please assign the combat tasks!" With a shot, the Company Commander came over and anxiously asked to see Huan Wen!

Huan Wen also knew that the mini cannons in their infantry unit would only be used as a firepower support weapon in daily operations to attack the condescending archers or stubborn enemies. Unless the large legion attacked the sturdy military fortress, the artillery units would not come together to use them. Moreover, small cannons like them were not effective against solid cities. What was more important was their mental advantage. Huan Wen pointed at the city and said, "Did you see that? On top of this city gate tower, there are three oil pots, and the oil is almost boiling now.

"Yes, I guarantee that I will complete the mission!" The cannonball Company Commander said: "But Battalion Commander, we do not have much ammunition left, we only have five cannonballs!"

"What!?" Didn't I tell you to carry three cannonballs this time? " Huan Wen was clearly a little unhappy. She had never come in contact with cannons before, but now he paid great attention to the usage of cannons. In battle, the advantages of artillery was very obvious.

The Rifle Company Commander scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed foolishly: "Battalion Commander, when we bombarded fresh horse, we fought to our heart's content and momentarily forgot that we were piercing from afar! They did not hold back! "

Huan Wen said: "Don't bother with the words, I do not care about the other matters, just hit the three boiling oil pots for me, or else you will carry the cannons back to the camp!"

In the defense of the city, the Challenge Stone, Boiling Wood, was one of the city guards' three great killing machines. As long as there was no absolute advantage in strength, these three weapons would definitely cause the siege troops to suffer heavy casualties. Huan Wen's heart was extremely ruthless. If the boiling oil that was boiling hot were to get hit by a cannonball, the cannonball would explode. Boiling oil will increase the power of cannonballs. Just think about it, you know, after a cannonball is placed on the oil pot and explodes, besides the flying shrapnel, there will also be boiling oil.

During this period of time, the cannons of the Qin Army were relatively more experienced. In just a few minutes, the company of cannons had turned from a moving state to an attacking state. After adjusting the angle of fire, the gunner immediately spoke up.

The first shot missed a little, and the shell landed on the top of the city gate, although it did not cause any substantial damage to Xichuan. But the psychological pressure was still considerable. The modified artillery shell accurately landed on the city wall, causing the city wall to explode into a mess. Three boiling oil pots exploded, and in just three cannons, it caused close to a third of the casualties on the Xianbei member's city wall. Especially those injured by the shrapnel and boiling oil, they did not die immediately. Instead, they wailed on top of the city walls in a sound that would make one's blood run cold, making one want to have a nightmare.

Huan Wen was quite satisfied with the artillery's performance. At this time, Huan Wen said: "Quickly shout! They are forbidden to surrender immediately, otherwise, after the city is broken, not even chickens and dogs will be left! "

The power of the four cannonballs shocked the Xianbei member considerably, especially those who had participated in the battle of the Phellodendron before, they had left deep fear in their hearts. Now that they were facing the cannons of the Qin Army, they could not even muster the will to resist.

Finally, after a long period of silence, someone from the Xianbei member on top of the city wall threw her weapon down. At this time, the other Xianbei member s also threw their weapons down, and they all heaved a sigh of relief, sitting on the city wall dejectedly.

Huan Wen immediately ordered some men to control Xichuan City, but this time, a problem laid in front of him, making it extremely difficult for him. The entire Xichuan City, in Yan State, was one of the larger cities with nearly thirty thousand citizens, and they also had nearly a thousand captives.

Xi Chao saw that Huan Wen was filled with suspicions, and acted as if she was extremely worried about something, and went forward to ask: "Battalion Commander, why are you so depressed?!"

Huan Wen said: "Our forces are too small, right now, all of our Heaven Bombing grenade and cannons have been used up, and the consumption of the crossbow arrows is also extremely huge. If Murong Ke finds out that Xichuan City has been lost, he will definitely try her best to take it back, and this will definitely affect the life and death of tens of thousands of their troops. Whether we can resist the Xianbei member's counterattack, whether we can control Xichuan, is the biggest problem for us. Moreover, there are a large number of Xianbei member in the city, if they were to receive our attacks, they might suddenly launch an attack and cooperate with the fresh army outside the city. "

Xi Chao laughed: "This problem is easy to solve, we can send out our Battalion Commander to inform General Qin now, and have him send people to support us. Xianbei member is not a friendly place, but in a situation where they don't have any siege machines, it would be difficult for them to take back Xichuan in a short period of time. As for the Xianbei member s in the city, they are much simpler. The Battalion Commander can now issue a long order for all the citizens in the city to not leave their homes, and as long as they appear on the streets without permission, they will be killed without question. In order to prevent the Xianbei member from dragging us down, it is best to lock them in. Disperse and join our army, and let them cooperate with us in defending the city. If anything happens, let the supervising team get rid of them on the spot! "

Huan Wen nodded.

In the morning, Qin Haoran and Murong Ke had once again set up their formation, ready to go to war. Murong Ke looked at the arrangement of the Qin Army in front of the array. It was the same as before, Qin Haoran's array was set up perfectly, it looked to be full of flaws, but on careful observation, all of them were just tempting trap s. Murong Ke was unsure of the meaning, she should not attack.

The Xianbei member only had a single rider, but the Qin Army was different. There were infantry, cavalry, artillery, and all sorts of heavenly soldiers, and as the Qin Army had an airship acting as an aerial warning, no matter where Murong Ke prepared to attack from, Qin Haoran would know in advance. It was extremely difficult for him to make adjustments to the situation in front of the Qin Army.

The more Murong Ke observed the Qin Army's Formation, the more she felt uncertain. No matter if it was the Mo Dao's array or the crossbow array, they were the nemesis of the cavalry, especially after going through the crossbow and the mixed Formation of the Mo Dao, they were simply abnormal. Their offensive strength was extraordinary, and their defense was even stronger.

In fact, Murong Ke was a bit better, while the fresh horse s who had spread out their attack formation were even more uneasy. As they looked at the Formation of the Qin Army, they felt a kind of fear, similar to how they felt when they encountered a pack of wolves. It was even more terrifying than a person encountering a hungry pack of wolves.

Murong Ke already had a clear idea of how to fight this battle. He wanted to make use of Yan State's unique geographical environment, gradually increase the combat distance between them, lure them deeper, and then cut off Qin Army's food route. This idea was not bad, but it was extremely difficult to implement it. As Qin Haoran was a bastard, he wanted to waste time with Murong Ke, no matter how hard Murong Ke tried, whether or not he resisted strongly, or whether he retreated voluntarily, Qin Haoran would only move thirty to fifty li forward every day. Furthermore, he would need the airship's troops to reexamine the area in the forward area, so for suspicious areas where it was easy to hide, they would use Heaven Bombing grenade s or fireballs to probe.

In military matters, the saying 'the weak is the strong, the weak is the strong.' The saying 'the strong is the strong.' The saying 'the weak is the strong.' The saying 'the fewer wins, the more wins.' was established when the enemy and their opponent made mistakes. Just like the Three Kingdoms' Zhuge Liang, he used troops like gods, but was unable to destroy the Wei Country, unify the world, and win with surprises. He still needed to use his powerful strength as a backup. At this time, Murong Ke was the same as Zhuge Liang from the Three Kingdoms; the resources available to him were too little.

They retreated from the plain and fought against the Qin Army on the Han River Plains in the south. The distance from there was further and the supply for the Qin Army was more difficult, but Qin Haoran, this troublesome opponent, made him want to go crazy. With Qin Haoran's snail like speed, he attacked every place he could get his hands on. He had to control it first and then move the people here. Perhaps it was an internal transfer or a migration from Qin State to here, as long as he threw away this place, it wouldn't be long before it would become the real territory of the Qin State.

Murong Ke was worried deeply, filled with worry, but Qin Haoran, who was on the other side, had a relaxed expression. He said lightly: "If the Xianbei member is scared, and they do not dare to take the initiative to attack, then let them experience the might of the attacks of our Qin Army."

Qin Haoran turned around and said to the soldier: Order the artillery to move forward, light cavalry, infantry to cover, the Mo Dao Army will advance slowly.

Following Qin Haoran's orders, the huge battle formation of the Qin Army began to move. Relatively speaking, their attacking speed was extremely slow, but they had a force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas!

At this time, the first to attack were still the cannons of the Qin Army. Hundreds of cannons rained down their cannons onto the position of the Yan Jun like a torrential storm, the Yan Jun Cavalry soldiers did not need Murong Ke's order to retreat. Although the first round of artillery did not cause much casualties for the Yan Jun, it did cause their morale to drop to the freezing point.

At this time, the older soldiers of the Qin Army began to move.

The Mo Dao Army was definitely a veteran soldier of the Qin Army, they had to prepare for battle for a long time. Usually, their equipment and personnel would be separated, each having two warhorses, one to carry people, and the other to entrust their equipment. Only on the battlefield would they be able to slowly remove their equipment, dress slowly, and then enter battle.

However, during this kind of attack time, they would naturally not remove their equipment, but with the help of the infantry, they mounted their warhorses with difficulty, each of them weighing as much as two people. The warhorses were also having a lot of difficulty, but no matter how difficult the warhorses were, they were still faster than the infantry.

Qin Army's infantry, artillery, army. The light troops advanced together, pressing down towards Yan Jun.

Seeing the Qin Army's attack, Murong Ke knew that resisting at this time was futile, and retreating to avoid the attack was the best choice.

Meng Tianhu spat out, leaving behind some dust as he rushed towards Yan Jun's retreat, "Damn, this bunch of grandsons are running pretty fast!" Although he said that, Meng Tianhu did not slow down. He raised the ancestral bronze battle axe in his hands, this weapon was definitely a priceless treasure. It was bestowed to the great general Meng Tian by the Qin Shi Huang Emperor. This Bronze Battleaxe was actually a fake one, and was equivalent to Shang Fang's treasured sword in later generations of movie and television dramas! This represented the glory of the Meng family.

Just at this time, a soldier rushed to Qin Haoran's side. Qin Haoran was obviously very excited, "What did you say? Say it again!"

That soldier said: "Great General, Xichuan City has already been captured. Our Battalion Commander said, whether or not we can block Yan Jun in this plain, it is still a little early, but if we can get the Great General's support, even if there are only two battalions, our Battalion Commander said, he will guarantee that we can block Yan State!"

Qin Haoran swallowed his saliva, and said snappily: "Huan Wen is really not bad! For a single battalion to actually be able to take down a city which is three times stronger than the city that we already have, how amazing! "

The face of the soldier from the Huan Wen Clan, who came to deliver the letter, was filled with pride and also had a hint of complacency!

Qin Haoran said: "Go back and tell Huan Wen, don't let this brat get too carried away. I will remember this contribution, but he has taken action on her own accord.

Of course, Qin Haoran would not miss this chance to wipe out all of Murong Ke's forces. He immediately ordered: "I ordered Meng Tianhu to quickly support Xichuan, even if we have to wipe out all of their forces, we cannot let a single Xianbei member pass!"

At this time, Meng Tianhu was still desperately chasing after his pursuers. He wanted to make a contribution and kill his enemies, but he couldn't catch up to their four legs at all.

"General Meng. Pass General Qin's order for your division to withdraw from the battle immediately. "

Hearing this. Meng Tianhu was furious in his heart, he grabbed the messenger and said: "Why are you making me retreat from the battle!"

The messenger said, "General Meng, wait a moment. It isn't too late for you to get angry after listening to my orders! Meng Tianhu bellowed: "Speak!"

"Pass General Qin's order. Order the General Meng troops to immediately retreat from the battle and quickly support Xichuan City! "

Meng Tianhu naturally knew the importance of Xichuan. He knew that in the future, Xichuan would definitely be the most desperate battlefield. He happily said: "Gather the entire army, bring all your equipment and follow me!"
