Chapter 50 Bluffing(1/2)
It has to be said that it makes sense for the Qin army to arrange "strong women" to fight in the city defense and transportation.
Because defending a city is much easier than facing the enemy directly on the battlefield.
Just like what Chen Bing and others did at this time, they just spent their energy to push the falling rocks, rolling wood, etc. down the city.
There is no need to poke your head out, pushing it wherever there is a siege ladder. The Zhao army is densely packed below, and one is right to throw it away.
Chen Bing was always wondering when he was watching a movie or was going to see it:
The battle of cold weapons, Ruoduo, moved an ordinary ladder and shouted at the city wall as filmed in the movie...
Why don’t the soldiers guarding the city cut off the ladder?
If you can't do it, how many times can you use a hammer?
Or do two clothes forks, one left and one right work together to overturn the ladder?
Then how can you attack the city?
The bag will fall as much as it comes up!
Only by realizing the fact that this is not the case if you experience the city.
Of course, the siege ladder will not be an ordinary wooden ladder.
It is wider, thicker, and stronger.
The first purpose is to facilitate the siege soldiers to stand and fight.
Second, it is that it can stand the rolling stones and the pounding wood, otherwise a few stones will be broken into two pieces, and siege the city will become a joke.
More importantly, the siege ladder is approaching one end of the city wall and undergoes special treatment.
Cut it off with a sword and axe?
Wrapped with a few layers of cowhide, and after cutting for a long time, there were only a few traces.
Throw it with a hammer?
The top was reinforced by a whole log that was thick with thighs, and it was even more exhausted.
Push with a clothes fork?
Several metal hooks stretched out at the front and buckled tightly against the female wall. How could the clothes fork be pushed open?
So what is more reliable is to deal with the attackers.
The crossbow shot down like raindrops, and the crossbowman used a rolling stone to smash it down between the gap between the crossbow arrows.
If the Zhao army attacked the city wall, there would be soldiers with armor coming forward to fight in close combat.
Logistics, crossbowmen, armored soldiers, even halberds, swords and shields, etc. advance and retreat properly and retract freely.
The cooperation between each other is not weaker than the modern multi-army coordination.
As long as there is a slight mistake, the enemy will open the gap and then expand the results of the battle.
After finally repelling Zhao's attack, Shen Bing and his men were so tired that they leaned against the city wall and gasped.
He was once a soldier and gained some gains from the strategy of siege and defending the city.
He said with gratitude:
"Thanks to the pulley set made by Gong Cheng."
“It brings us plenty of supplies.”
"Otherwise, the rolling stones and the rapier would have been used up long ago."
Although everyone agreed, they didn't even have the strength to answer and be glad at this time.
Even Shen Bing is no exception.
So what if you can keep it for the time being?
It's just a little longer to last a lifetime.
In the end, he still died under the sword of Zhao Jun...
Sure enough, I heard someone screaming in panic:
"Wei County is lost!"
"The North Goblin Cavalry has crossed the Great Wall."
The soldiers were in an uproar.
This almost sentenced the Qin army to death.
Because the main force of the Zhao army attacked on the front, the weak parts of the side and back were interspersed with North Goblin riders.
The Qin army's transportation line is afraid that it will soon be out of service.
In this way, the Qin army would face the situation of exhausting ammunition and food. It was only a matter of time before the entire army was wiped out.
At this time, Liu Xu hurried over and said anxiously as soon as he found Chen Bing:
"It's broken, it's broken, and the 2500 masters are about to rebel again!"
It turned out that taking advantage of the gap between the war, the two or five hundred masters began to "advice" to Yang Ting again.
Compared with ordinary military and civilians, the five hundred masters and two hundred masters in the Qin army are often more responsive to life and death.
The reason is that ordinary military and civilians have no capital to "rebirth and death" at all, and they "rely on interests".
They were subject to Qin's laws, especially the system of joint seats, and they had to obey whatever orders they were.
escape?
Benefit?
bargain?
It doesn't exist!
All they can do is not think about anything, just obey the orders.
But the five hundred lords and the two hundred lords are intermediate officers.
Many of them come from the second generation of rich and second generation of official, and have mixed forces and relationships in China.
Or they can be called children of nobles.
Before Shang Yang's reform, these noble children did not even need to join the army and could enjoy wealth and honor at home.
However, after Shang Yang's reform, it was stipulated that the children of nobles would not have titles without military merit and would not enjoy privileges.
This forced the nobles' children to join the army and fight like the people.
Although they are still high, they are already very satisfying than before.
This is also the fundamental reason why Shang Yang was eventually punished by a car breakup:
Those who offended the powerful, and not one or two, were those who offended the entire powerful class.
So as soon as Qin Xiaogong, who supported Shang Yang, died, Shang Yang was not surprised to be forced to death by the powerful Qin State.
Since these two or five hundred lords joined the army for the sake of profit, of course they were unwilling to wait for death on the Great Wall.
"The captain, the cavalry in the north have conquered Wei County, and the Great Wall is no longer guarded."
"If the troops do not withdraw at this time, it will be too late to wait for the cavalry in the north to surround our army!"
"What the captain said before has a plan to defeat the enemy, and it doesn't take three or five days to see the decision..."
Zhang Xuan interrupted:
"It's only three days now, so it's not too late to say this after two days!"
Zhang Xuan was quite loyal, and even though he knew that the plan of disagreement had failed, he stood firmly on Yang Ting's side.
But objectively speaking, what the group of two or five hundred masters at this time still makes sense.
The Great Wall was no longer saved, and Yang Duanhe was no longer saved. He stayed with them and died.
The battlefield has always been a reality.
There is no point in staying there.
A 2500 master hummed, glared at Zhang Xuan and said:
"One time and another time."
"At this time, Li Mu has already broken through the Great Wall. If he waits for another two days, how can he have a chance to retreat?"
Another 2500 Lord agreed to say:
"This statement makes sense."
"If the captain had a way to defeat the enemy, why could Li Mu break through the Great Wall?"
"I don't know what the lieutenant's way to defeat the enemy?"
"You might as well say it out, and I can also take the initiative!"
To be continued...
