The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 1015: It's ice cubes

Immediately, the merchant ship headed west. The merchant ship moved closer to where the coastline could be seen. For them, it is simply a kind of gambling. They know nothing about the sea, and they can only try their luck with their only luck.

The merchant ship moved on, but their direction was further west. As everyone knows, they are going in circles around a big island.

Everyone's attention once again returned to Yan Guo.

Zhao Jun occupies half of the bridgehead position. The other half of the bridgehead was occupied by the Qi army, although Zhao Jun wanted to retake the bridgehead. But after a few attempts. All ended in failure. In the end, Zhao Jun had to abandon the military operation to seize the bridgehead.

"We need reinforcements." A lieutenant of Zhao Jun said to his signal soldier.

"It said that someone would come to reinforce us, and our people are heading here." The signal soldier said.

"Damn it. I need more people to seize the position over there. Otherwise, we can't guarantee that our position will be broken by those **** Qi people." The lieutenant took a telescope and checked the situation of the opposite Qi army. Said. Qi Jun is trying to rebuild the bridge to cross the estuary. However, Zhao Jun only has light weapons in his hands. They lack effective heavy weapons. They are cavalry units, which are fast mobile units. They have serious flaws in firepower. Their advantage is speed. In pursuit of speed, the cavalry sacrificed part of their luggage and some firepower equipment. In this way, the cavalry formed a kind of weakness in firepower. They lack a heavy firepower to provide the necessary cover.

"The people of Qi are building a bridge on the opposite side. It seems that they are ready to cross the river." An observation sentry on the side said at this moment.

"I know. They are building a bridge," the lieutenant said.

"We don't have artillery. If we had artillery, I would definitely tear down their bridge." The lieutenant said.

"Sir, we have cannons, but," said a second lieutenant on the side.

"Lack of shells, right?" the lieutenant said.

"Yes, sir, and, I think, we definitely won't get artillery support, now there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. We may not be able to get artillery support." said the ensign.

The lieutenant watched the movement of Qi Guo quietly, without saying a word. He knows that he said it was nothing but nonsense.

After the Qi army occupied half of the bridgehead position, they immediately began to repair the bridge, although both sides were in confrontation. However, the selected locations for the crossing of the river mouth are all narrow parts of the river, as long as the location of the best crossing mouth is offset a little, there should be no big problem.

Despite the confrontation between the two sides, the area of ​​the confrontation is not within the firepower coverage. Qi Jun's rifle has a range of about two hundred steps, while Zhao Jun's rifle has a range of two hundred steps. Some rifles can reach three hundred steps. As for the prepared rifles and pistols, they are effective within 30 steps. Beyond this distance, the bullet will turn into a drunk man.

The two sides confronted each other as high as five hundred steps. This distance was long enough for the Qi army to rebuild their bridge project.

Seeing that the Duhekou was recaptured. Qi Jun's stragglers immediately glowed with vitality. They spontaneously joined the work of repairing the bridge, while Zhao Jun could only watch them repair the bridge little by little. Then they constantly urged their people to go to the supreme officer to seek new reinforcements, because their strength is too limited. They need more soldiers to launch a powerful offensive and regain the bridgehead position.

"I know about the loss of the bridgehead, but I can't mobilize a company to support you at the moment. I don't even have a reserve team." At this time, a cavalry colonel of Zhao Jun said, taking a picture of the map.

"But, sir, the people of Qi are building their bridge there. We must destroy the bridge as soon as possible. In that case, the people of Qi will run off the bridge. Once such a thing happens, we will not be able to bear much responsibility. Now the Qi people’s military strength is very limited. I think that as long as we have some reinforcements and some artillery, we can regain the bridgehead so that we can prevent such things from happening.” The captain looked at the colonel and pleaded.

"I know your situation, Captain, but have you considered my situation?" said the colonel.

"Our team, there are still three companies that have not returned. I don't know their specific positions. In addition, there are still a lot of luggage that have not arrived. The worst thing is that our neighbors have no news. We The safety of the flank is very weak.” The colonel said as he marked a location on the map.

"In this area, there is only our unit, without any logistical supplies, without any reinforcements. Our situation seems to be surrounded. Do you know? Our situation is very dangerous," the colonel said.

"And the entire river area we need to defend. Especially those Qi troops who fled sporadically, we need to send a certain number of patrols, we can only defend some points at present. And the firepower is extremely lacking, we only have four artillery. There are only nine rounds. Nine rounds. Understand. Only nine rounds." The colonel gestured with his fingers.

When the captain heard this news, he felt very heavy in his heart, which showed that their troops would not receive any support.

"So, sir, can you give us some people? We need too much manpower," the captain begged.

The colonel shook his head at this time. Means no.

"Oh my God," the captain said.

"We must persist until our reinforcements arrive." The colonel said heavily.

"I want to ask, sir, can we get in touch with our top officer?" the captain asked.

"This, there is currently no connection." At this time. The colonel answered truthfully.

"Then, we are as if we are surrounded." the captain asked.

"Yes, you can say that, but we must insist. This is a war, and the one who wins the war is the one who insists on the last." said the colonel.

"In that case, our casualties will increase a lot. Many people will...". The lieutenant looked up at the colonel and said. The colonel waved his hand to stop talking. This battle originally determined that the interspersed cavalry had great adventurousness.

"Okay. Got it. Sir. I'll stick to my position." The captain stood up and said.

"Holding the ground is victory," said the colonel.

The captain left heavily. He knows what it means to stay on the ground in the future. Many people will not exist.

At this time, the colonel was also eagerly looking for his neighbors because of the large-scale interspersed relationship. Coupled with the unfamiliarity of the terrain, many of the Zhao army units were unable to complete their tasks as ordered by the front-line headquarters. Coupled with the flexibility of operations, the cavalry units of more than 7,000 men were widely distributed in three hundred miles long and one wide. Within a hundred miles. It is very difficult for the troops to assemble.

In response, Li Mu sent a telegram of assistance to Qin State.

"We Zhao Jun requested that the Qin Jun send an airship to contact the Zhao Jun cavalry units on the ground to help our troops assemble. Otherwise, the initial campaign goal will be difficult to achieve." Li Mu wrote in the telegram.

The people of Qin are also paying attention to Zhao's military actions. They know very well that maintaining the logistics supply and communication of the army is the key to such a large-scale interspersion. Qin can do this naturally. Qin State before or after launching a large-scale operation. They will send out quite a few engineers to carry out surveys, lay telegraph lines and telephone lines, and have dispatched airplanes and airships of a certain size as liaisons. Coupled with a large number of cavalry use. Qin Jun is not lacking in communication problems.

In terms of logistics. The State of Qin relied on its own developed railway and highway system and sound engineering troops. The State of Qin had a sound system before and after the war to ensure the smooth flow of war logistics supplies. Neither State Zhao nor Yan State have such capabilities. This also led to their interspersed with a great deal of risk.

"For Zhao Guo's request. We can only satisfy as much as possible. We must know that we are very unfamiliar with the southern part of Yan State. The Heavenly Army is a special service, and the weather conditions are so prohibitive. Sending Heavenly Army is a disaster." Wang Jian looked at. Said after arriving at Li Mu's telegram.

"The range of the plane is simply not enough. We can only send airships. But weather conditions. We have a lot of uncertainty." Wang Jian said.

"We can only do our best. If we don't do this, once Qi Jun is relieved. Zhao Jun's situation will be very dangerous, and we need to be prepared to respond to any request of Zhao Jun at any time. After all, at present, we It's an alliance relationship." Yang Duanhe said.

"En. That can only be done." Wang Jian put down the telegram in his hand and said.

And just when Zhao Jun hoped their reinforcements would arrive. Tianshi gave them a big reinforcement.

The river flows from low latitudes to high latitudes. The ice at low latitudes melted first. The ice at high latitudes is the last to melt. This time difference will cause a disaster, and this disaster is the freezing flood. Qin Jun encountered it before. In the Central Plains, especially in the Yan Kingdom, such things happen every year. However, the locals know. The people of Zhao and Qi don't know. They don't know anything about the local situation.

"What sound?" A Qi countryman shouted loudly at this time.

"Boom boom boom." There was a boom in the distance.

"It's not a new weapon of Zhao Guoren." At this time, a Qi army soldier said.

"Quickly. Hide." At this moment the soldier shouted and everyone hid.

"No, it's ice. It looks like ice. It's not Zhao Jun's new weapon." A soldier picked up his binoculars and saw it.
