Daqin: Ascend to the Throne to Become the First Emperor
Chapter 33 The prestige of the catapult and the ballista stunned the Yan generals
The war between Qin and Yan, Han and Zhao is still going on in full swing.
The 150,000 army led by Wang Jian was separated from Meng Yu.
After passing through the land of Zhao State, he reached the territory of Yan State.
The situation in Yan country is the same as that in Han country.
Yan Wangxi was assassinated.
The position of the monarch is up in the air.
Yan Wangxi's more than a dozen sons, and the forces behind them, fought openly and secretly in the capital of Yan, Jicheng, for the position of the monarch.
There is no time to control the coming Qin army.
So Yan Guo, too, cannot organize too effective resistance.
In addition to the Qin army, there are snares to snoop on intelligence.
With the public loser being the Qin Army, the latest ordnance developed by the Yan State Army is no match for the Qin State Army led by Wang Jian.
Rongcheng.
This is the only place to pass from the border of Yan State to Jicheng, the capital of Yan State.
The country of Yan was assembled here, and most of the troops of the entire country of Yan, a total of 270,000 troops, blocked the Qin army.
An army of two hundred and seventy thousand, relying only on defending the city, will definitely not be able to use it.
In addition, General Yan Guo was worried about Qin Die's disturbance.
At that time, if the city gate was opened by Qin Dian, like the previous Qin Wei battle, it was opened by the inside and the outside, then the 270,000 army would be made dumplings by Qin Jun.
Therefore, Yan's 270,000 army, on the flat ground in front of Rongcheng, opened the army formation, preparing to fight the Qin army head-on.
Fifty miles away.
Qin State Army Department.
"General, our scouts, and the military spies from the Nets have heard news that Yan's 270,000 troops have assembled in Rongcheng and set up an army formation. It seems that they want to fight us head-on."
Pi Jianghuan reported to Wang Jian.
"Fighting with more, fighting head-on, with a city wall behind it, may not be able to support us. It seems that the Yan general who is fighting this time is also a safe person."
Wang Jian smiled upon hearing the words.
"But it's a pity that he didn't know that the strength of our Qin army is no longer what it used to be. Today, the 150,000 Qin army is stronger than the 300,000 Qin army in the past."
Then Wang Jian sneered.
"According to this general order, prepare catapults and ballistas, and the archer will follow them. After the catapults and ballistas have fired a few rounds of stones and military crossbows, the archer will press them on. Be sure to face the Yanjun. Within time, the fifteen crossbow arrows in the arrow box were fired."
"Finally, the cavalry pressed on, broke up the opponent's formation, and the infantry reaped."
Then Wang Jian gave the order.
The missionary soldiers naturally went on obediently and passed orders to the ministries.
"General, your majesty is kind enough to subdue the public losers, so that the devices designed and manufactured by the public losers are really useful?"
Hearing that Wang Jian had issued the military order, Pi Jianghuan suddenly curiously said.
"Is it useful? I'll know later."
Wang Jian looked very confident.
Because he had been invited to the two veteran generals, Wang Jun and Meng Gao, who were on the expedition to Yan, Han, and Zhao, to see the power of these weapons when they were first developed.
So he has great confidence in these weapons and this war.
Soon, in accordance with Wang Jian's military order, the army arranged catapults, ballistas, and military formations.
Because Yan Bing didn't know the role of these weapons, he could only watch Qin Jun's arrangement.
While Wang Jian, Huanjuan and their hundreds of soldiers moved to Rongcheng, less than twenty miles away, and about a hundred meters high. They were able to survey the entire Rongcheng situation and see the situation of the Qin army and the Yan army. On the top of the hill.
"emission."
Seeing that the arrangement is almost done, Wang Jian sent orders.
The Qin Army Pioneer, who was separated from the Yan Army by less than two hundred meters, released the handle of the trebuchet.
Qin Bing, who controlled the ballista, also fired at the same time.
Immediately five hundred continuous ballistas and five hundred catapults dropped hundreds of stones weighing hundreds of catties at the same time, as well as several hundred three-meter long, small children's arms, which were shot from the continuous ballista. , Fell to the Yan Jun, and Yan Jun was all over.
Even a heavy shield soldier who keeps the shield in front of him, if it is shot by this stone or a heavy crossbow, will fall down with a shield destroyed and killed.
"Oh my God, how could there be such a terrifying weapon in the world!"
"It's no wonder that these Qin soldiers, as soon as they appeared, kept these things on the ground without stopping."
"They have such powerful weapons, how can we win?"
"I think we might as well surrender."
"These weapons are not flesh and blood at all and can be resisted."
The appearance of catapults and ballistas frustrated the morale of Yan's army. Many Yan soldiers who were frightened by catapults and ballistas turned around and fled, and some made surrender remarks.
"Don't be afraid. There are very few weapons like them. As long as we rush to them and destroy these weapons, they will be dead."
"No one is allowed to spread rumors that damage morale during the war, otherwise he will be killed without mercy."
Fortunately, the leader of Yan Guo made a timely action and ordered his troops to kill the escaped soldiers and stabilize their morale.
"The cavalry must rush to the front of the Qin army to destroy those weapons."
Then General Yanjun ordered.
Suddenly, a large army of Yan's army, with about 70,000 cavalry, rushed out and rushed towards the catapult and ballista that Wang Jian arranged at the forefront.
The country of Yan is located in the north, so the people are sturdy, and like the country of Qin, he likes to develop cavalry.
But even so, the cavalry team of 70,000 people in front of them is already a cavalry team of all the cavalry in the country of Yan.
The soldiers of Qin State manipulating the catapult and ballista, regardless of the large number of Yan State cavalry rushing towards them, fired several rounds of stones and strong crossbows one after another.
Let Yan Guo suffer heavy losses.
Although General Yan hated Qin's army, he gritted his teeth with hatred, but he could only wait.
Seeing that the Yan State cavalry rushed in front of the Qin State army, they had not waited for the Yan State general to be happy.
The soldiers of the State of Qin who had just operated the catapult and ballista immediately retreated, and a group of about 30,000 men and a crossbow shooter appeared from behind.
"It's a wishful thinking to use a shooter to stop my Yan State cavalry."
General Yan Guo sneered when he saw this scene.
Whether it is an archer holding a bow or an archer holding a scorpion, the speed of the arrow is not fast. When they finish shooting all rounds, the Yan State cavalry has already rushed into their team.
All that awaits them is the tragic massacre.
What's more, he has 70,000 cavalrymen in the country of Yan, while the number of archers in the Qin country is only 20,000 to 30,000.
There is a huge gap in numbers, and the Qin army is even more not an opponent.
"How can this be?"
It was just the next scene that stunned the general of Yan State, and his eyes almost popped out of his eyes. *
