Xuchang is right. The Qin army had stone bullets, and of course the Zhao army also had stone bullets.

If the stone bullet is not a good match for the stone bullet, and the Zhao army has the advantage in terms of military strength and quality, there is no reason to be invincible.

So, Zhao Jun led a trench aircraft to launch a new round of offensive.

The main attacker was still the Northern Army commanded by Wang Bai.

The point is still the gap in the city wall.

The difference is that there are fifty more catapults in the rear.

Wang Bai is a veteran. Since he was rescued from the Xiongnu by the Beidi Army at the age of fifteen, he has been following Li Mu in the north to fight in the east and west.

With rich battlefield experience, he divided the catapult into five teams, including three teams, the left, the middle, and the right in front.

The left and right routes are responsible for cover, while the middle route is directly opposite the gap.

Two teams are preparing for reinforcements in the rear.

However, what Xuchang and Wang Bo did not expect was.

This trencher is not that trencher.

If we talk about the catapult alone, although Shen Bing has upgraded the catapult again, the difference is not very big.

Although the basket hanging is poor in accuracy and has more problems with the launch, the quantity can completely make up for this shortcoming.

So, the point is that none of them can calculate ballistics.

In ancient times, mixed subjects other than "school, agriculture, industry and commerce" were usually called "school, farmer, businessman, and commerce".

So Bian Que was a alchemist, Xu Fu was a alchemist, and Zhang Heng was also a alchemist.

There were also many alchemists who were proficient in mathematics in the Qin Dynasty, and even the "Nine-Nine Multiplication Table" was found among the cultural relics unearthed in the Qin Dynasty.

But it is certain that none of them knows about parabolas and gravity acceleration...

Otherwise, Newton wouldn't have the turn of a new mind after being hit by an apple.

then.

Even if Zhao Jun divided the catapult into three teams on the left, middle and right, they fired stone bullets in the direction of the gap...

But the stone bullet is either too far or too high, or it just hits the city wall and bounces back to its own camp.

This not only fails to provide effective cover to the attacking infantry, but also causes many accidental injuries.

This made the attacking Northland soldiers complain:

"Is it easy for us to fight?"

"Not only will you be hit by the enemy's stone bomb, but you will also be hit by your own stone bomb."

"Can you stop causing trouble?"

At the same time, the Qin army also had a catapult on the city wall.

They fought from a high point, smashing Zhao Jun's catapult one by one to pieces one by one.

So Zhao's army lost a group of corpses in the second round of attack and retreated again in shame.

At this time, Yang Ting, who was standing at the top of the city command, breathed a sigh of relief.

Willow catkins are reporting good news one after another:

"Report to the lieutenant, a team of thousands of people arrived."

"There are also one 500 team and three 100 teams."

"A total of more than 1,800 reinforcements are on standby!"

Yang Ting said "hmm" and asked, "Who is the newly arrived 2500 Lord?"

Liu Xu bowed and replied: "It's the quilt."

Tian Que was once a general of Yang Duanhe, but later he made contributions to the 2500 lords leading the army alone.

Yang Ting and Liu Xu were both quite familiar with him.

Yang Ting thought about it and ordered:

"Let Na Tian be led to his troops to guard the gap!"

"Tie Zhang Xuan to me!"

Liu Xu was stunned when she heard this, but she still replied with a "No" and turned around to convey the thoughts.

After a few sounds of the Niuke, various Qin troops gathered under the city.

Shen soldiers and artillery divisions were also among them.

Originally, Chen Bing thought it was Yang Ting who wanted to give a lecture or have some new arrangements.

But when he saw Zhang Xuan and more than a dozen Qin soldiers tied up on wooden stakes, he realized that this was not the case.

Chen Bing was secretly surprised:

Didn’t you win the battle just now?

Why did he tie Zhang Xuan and his men in a blink of an eye?

Looking at the tied Zhang Xuan and more than ten soldiers, they all looked pale and frightened, as if they knew what they had made.

Just when Chen Bing was confused, he saw Yang Ting walking up.

She glanced at the tied people, and finally locked her eyes on Zhang Xuan and asked:

"Zhang Xuan, do you know your guilt?"

Zhang Xuan lowered his head and replied with shame:

"I am aware of the crime!"

"As the 2500 masters, the subordinate retreated in the face of the battle, and even the city gate was in danger!"

"I am willing to be punished!"

When Chen Bing heard this, he remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.

The Zhao army was extremely brave in the first round of attacks, and the Qin army led by Zhang Xuan took a few steps back.

but……

Isn't it just a few steps back?

Is this going to be tied up and executed?

But soon Chen Bing knew that he had misunderstood.

Yang Ting turned around and asked a civil servant next to her with a small crown: "What should I be punished for the supervisory official, what should I do if I retreat before the battle?"

The clerk stepped forward and bowed and replied:

"Report to the lieutenant!"

"Those who retreat in the face of war should be punished under the gaze of thousands of people!"

Chen Bing was stunned when he heard this.

It’s not that he can’t understand. Chen Bing, who is quite good at writing, knows that killing is just cutting his nose.

Although this is much better than the beheading that Shen Bing thought before, it is still a bit unimaginable.

But when you think about it carefully, you feel that the punishment makes some sense.

Sometimes, the battlefield, especially the cold weapon battlefield, cannot retreat even if it takes a step.

This is not only a problem that strategic areas will be lost, but also affects the morale of the entire army.

Because people have a herd mentality, it would be fine if no one escaped during the battle.

A few escapes or just take a few steps back may cause a chain reaction that will lead to the collapse of the entire army.

Just as he was thinking, a team of soldiers had already stepped forward and pulled out the bronze sword to prepare for the prisoner's nose.

The prisoners were all nervous and gasping for breath, and a few of them kept begging for mercy.

But only that Zhao Xuan was still a little ambitious, gritting his teeth and looking as usual.

Chen Bing felt a little unbearable.

He knew that this punishment was actually worse than death.

For example, it is difficult to breathe and sleep day and night.

For example, when antibiotics are lacking in this era, at least a few of them will die in pain due to wound infection.

Even if someone survives by chance, the face that has been cut off from his nose is a shame.

No matter where you go, no matter how brave you are in combat or what title you will be promoted to in the future.

This face always tells others that its owner has committed a sin.

Thinking of this, Chen Bing stood up:
To be continued...
