The Jagged Empire of Daqin

This made it the first time in Yang Long's history that he fought a major battle with zero casualties!

The commander of the Tankou camp, Zhengjiupin Ningta General Galuyue, led the 15 Ningta Army and five directly subordinate artillery battalions to attack Tankou Pass on time at the moment of the hour. As you know, this is another war without suspense.

PS: "Your Majesties, Your Majesties, Your Majesties, the weather is cold recently, please keep warm, and don't hurt the dragon's body!"

Chapter 918 Battle of Shu River!

From the beginning to the end of the war, it did not exceed an hour.

In the Battle of Tankou, the Qin army wiped out [-] enemies and captured [-] prisoners. They did not let the Qi army escape, but were chased back by the iron cavalry of the Ningta Army, while the Qin army lost only more than [-] people.

At the same time, Shuhe!

There are three checkpoints on the border between the Moon Dynasty and the Shu Dynasty. The three checkpoints are divided into upper, middle and lower. The upper pass is the Shu River, the middle pass is the Shu Mountain, and the lower pass is the Shuxia. land, especially the Shu River!

The Shu River was originally a vast river, but it has dried up and turned into a broad and flat river bed. The river bed is high in the west and low in the east. Shu is in the west and the moon is in the east.

Even if the army successfully rushes to the west bank, there is still a big valley on the west bank. The big valley is in a concave shape, with two high and one low. Soldiers and horses, whether it is shooting arrows or throwing boulders, can smash the underestimated army without any dead ends.

The Shu Dynasty also built a fortress at the entrance of the Great Valley, which made it even more impenetrable!

"boom"

"Boom"

At this time, the sound of violent explosions on the west bank of the Shu River was heard endlessly. The Shu army on the west bank was turned upside down by the bombers. The fort roared.

On the east bank, 30 black-armored troops faced each other across the bank. Under the banner of the Chinese army, the left general Yang Zhong rode on his horse to watch the situation on the west bank. Seeing the instant defeat of the Shu army on the west bank, Yang Zhong was deeply moved. In awe of this ugly bull cannon.

Before the Yanshui army withdrew from the battlefield of the Southern Wei Dynasty, he didn't know the existence of the Ugly Bull Cannon, nor did he know that his Yanshui Camp was also divided into ten artillery battalions directly under it. The existence and power of artillery.

After the [-] Yanshui Army took a vacation and supplemented [-] troops, he returned to the Yanshui Camp with a reorganized army of [-] Yanshui Camp. News of the expansion of troops and the attack on Shu on May [-].

So after expanding his troops to 30, that is, on April 30st, he led the [-] troops of the Yanshui Camp and ten directly subordinate artillery battalions to the Shu River. Yanshui Pass is not far from the Shu River, only four or five hundred However, because of the difficult roads and the heavy weight of the Ugly Cow cannon, it took a month to reach the distance that could be reached in a few days.

The Shu Dynasty may not have known that the Great Qin was attacking Shu, so the Shu River had only [-] troops. Originally, Yang Zhong thought that the Shu army would flee in embarrassment when they saw the Qin army, and there was no need to use artillery at all. The barrier of the Shu River did not withdraw. Instead, more than [-] crossbowmen and ballista equipment were deployed on the west bank, and soldiers and horses were also set up on the highlands on both sides of the valley.

The west bank belongs to the highlands. If the Qin army launches a strong attack, compared with a siege, the Shu army can shoot down the invading Qin army from a high position, and even swoop down to kill the Qin army. Yang Zhong just to be on the safe side, and also to look at the ugly bull artillery The ability to kill the enemy, deploy ten artillery battalions directly under the river bed a thousand steps away from the west bank!

That's why there was the scene of the West Bank being bombed indiscriminately.

"Boom"

"Help!"

"Run!"

"The Qin army has Tianlei to help, withdraw! Withdraw!"

"Back to the valley!"

"Get out!"

The Shu army on the west bank was terrified and screamed amid the sound of artillery fire. Seeing their comrades being blown into pieces without warning, the soldiers of the Shu army had no morale, no fighting spirit, and only endless fear in their hearts.

Under the continuous bombardment of the Qin army's artillery positions towards the west bank, most of the [-] crossbowmen deployed by the general of the Shu army on the west bank were killed or injured, and the placed crossbows were also blown into sawdust. Now only by staying in the valley can they feel safe.

West Bank, lost!

The situation on the west bank was seen by Yang Zhong. He didn't have time to shock him with the power of the artillery. He immediately waved his hand and shouted in a cold voice: "The infantry charged and took the west bank. Remember, only take the west bank, not the valley. Stand by outside the valley, the cavalry stay behind and stand by!"

"As ordered!"

"As ordered!"

The right general Yang Yi and the middle general Yang Wu responded one after another.

Soon, in front of the military order, the Qin Army's 25 infantry with distinctive armor rushed down the river bed, passed through the artillery position and rushed to the west bank. The artillery position also stopped firing immediately, and the artillery began to prepare to move the artillery position.

The artillerymen are very clear that at this distance, they can only hit the fortress of the Great Valley, and cannot carry out cover-bombing inside the Great Valley. When the army takes the west bank, they must move the artillery position forward. The closer the distance to the Great Valley, the larger the Great Valley The range of the shot is also greater.

"kill!!"

"The Qin army is mighty!"

There were bursts of loud shouts, and the riverbed was full of densely packed Qin troops, making the Shu troops terrified.

Just when the Qin army began to attack the west bank, on a rock at the top of the valley, an old general in blue armor stared dumbfounded at the tragic scene in front of him. The official worship is the second-rank general Tianhe, and he is the uncle of Shu Emperor Du Xiao in seniority.

Du Qi was completely dumbfounded. The heavy troops stationed on the west bank were easily defeated by the Qin army. In less than half a stick of incense, [-] west bank defenders fled to death, and their defensive power became zero.

Du Qi was also a veteran at any rate, and he didn't give up completely. Being wise, he immediately guessed that the sky thunder that the soldiers were talking about was hit by a huge monster that Qin Jun placed on the river bed. Although he didn't know what it was called, Anyway, this must be Qin Jun's new equipment.

"Pass the old man's military order, the whole army climbs to the high point, must withstand the offensive of the Qin army, and the Shu River must not be lost!" Du Qi ordered loudly with a solemn expression!

Even though the enemy is outnumbered and the west bank is lost, Du Qi still doesn't think that the Qin army can conquer the big valley. Do you really think the terrain of Shu is a joke?

"The general has an order, the whole army climbs to the top!"

"Come up quickly!"

Give an order, the Shu army at the high points on both sides of the valley shouted loudly at the remnants of the west bank who fled into the valley. After hearing these words, the remnants of the west bank began to climb the valley and climbed to the high points on both sides. The valley is not easy to climb. If it were someone else, maybe only one of the ten people could barely climb up.

But the Shu army is the master of this area, and they have long been proficient in climbing rocks. It is not difficult for them to climb to the high points on both sides of the valley.

Just as the remnants of the west bank were climbing the cliffs in the valley, the soldiers of the Qin army boarded the west bank one after another, and soon took control of the west bank. The fortresses in the valley are also presented in the eyes of the soldiers of the Qin army.

PS: "Please book in full!"

Chapter 919 Big Valley!

The Dagu Fortress is not big, but it is built on the mountain and blocked at the mouth of the valley. Without the Ugly Bull Cannon, it would be as difficult for the Qin Army to conquer the fortress. , can knock down the fortress.

East coast!

Yang Zhong immediately issued the second military order after seeing the Qin army boarding the west bank!

"Ben ordered the general to move the artillery positions to the west bank, lined up, and bombarded the big valley. Remember, a path must be blasted out for the general, so that our army can climb the mountain roads on both sides of the valley. Don't save on shells, give this general a hard hit!"

Yang Zhong didn't intend to cross the valley through the valley, and he was not stupid. If the Qin army entered the valley, the Shu army would definitely throw things at the Qin army in the valley. The high point blasted out a path, and the army directly killed the high point, not giving the Shu army a chance to kill the Qin army.

Fortunately, the Qin army had artillery, which could blast away the rocks and open a mountain road from bottom to top. Otherwise, if the mountain road was dug by manpower, I don’t know how to dig the mountain road in the year of the monkey!

"The general has an order to move the artillery positions to the west bank!"

The order was passed on quickly, and the artillerymen began to push the ugly bull artillery, and some soldiers also came to help, but when they moved below the west bank, the artillery generals at all levels began to worry.

The reason for worry is that the west bank is three feet higher than the valley. Although the bank is a slope, the [-]-jin Ugly Bull Cannon cannot be pulled up at all, and it is useless to many people. It is really Ugly Cow Cannon. huge.

Broken-arm Yang Yi, who was in charge of ten artillery battalions directly under his command, came to the east bank on a horse, leaned over to Yang Zhong and said, "General, the Ugly Bull artillery is too heavy and too big to be pulled up at all. The parts are pulled up, pulled up and put back together."

Yang Zhong frowned slightly. He didn't expect the Ugly Cow Artillery to have this drawback, so he immediately asked, "How long will this process take?"

"One hour!" Yang Yi quickly replied.

"It took so long!" Yang Zhong was quite displeased. One hour was enough to change a lot. He was worried that the battle opportunity would be gone, and he was even more worried about accidents. If 40 Qin troops were defeated here, it would be a shame.

"Aside from this method, is there no other way?" Yang Zhongxin asked unwillingly.

Yang Yi shook his head helplessly and sighed, obviously there was no other way but to dismantle it into parts and pull it up.

"Since there is no other way, that's the only way to do it. Send the order, and the sword shield soldiers and crossbow soldiers will line up on the edge of the valley to prevent the Shu army from going down the mountain to make a surprise attack!" Yang Zhong made a decisive decision and issued the military order decisively!

"Obey!" Yang Yi turned around on his horse and left, quickly conveying Yang Zhong's order.

With an order, the [-]-blade shield soldiers lined up rows of shield walls on the edge of the valley at an astonishing speed. Behind each row of shield walls stood a row of crossbowmen holding eight-stone crossbows. A shield wall composed of [-] crossbowmen can be attacked from a distance and defended from a distance.

Unsolvable Shield Wall!

Another [-] pikemen assisted the artillery in dismantling the Ugly Cow artillery and pulling parts to the West Bank.

Du Qi on the big valley saw Qin Jun lined up on the edge of Dashan Pass, and instantly guessed Qin Jun's intentions, and immediately laughed happily: "Haha, I know the weakness of Qin Jun, Qin Jun's new large-scale equipment can't When they go ashore, they have to dismantle them into several parts before they can go ashore, and the reason why the Qin army listed the shield wall array is to prevent us from going down the mountain to raid and harass them to put together large equipment!"

"This new type of large-scale equipment is very important to them. It is probably the source of Qin Jun's self-confidence. If we can destroy their large-scale equipment, they will not be able to break through the big valley. At that time, Qin Jun will naturally retreat!"

Liu En, the deputy general next to Du Qi, felt that it was very reasonable when he heard this, but he couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "General, the Qin army's defense is too strict, and our army's morale is greatly damaged now. benefit."

"The old man has a plan in mind, I don't know if it will work!" Du Qi chuckled slightly with a look of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Liu En quickly echoed: "The general is indeed wise and unparalleled. I don't know what the general has in mind, so what is the plan?"

Hearing this, Du Qi was very helpful. He pointed to the edge of the valley with a smile and said, "Look, the edge of the valley is steep and there are no inclined waves. If our army throws stones from above, the boulders will fall down. It is unstoppable by manpower, and it will easily break through the Qin army's shield wall formation!"

"After breaking the formation, you lead an army of [-] to go down the valley, enter the valley, and fight out from the valley. You don't want to destroy the enemy, but you only want to destroy the large equipment of the Qin army. As long as you destroy the large equipment, this battle will be a victory. Of course, this time Going there is extremely dangerous, and it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out. I wonder if you are willing to take this risk!"

Having said that, Du Qiyin put away the smile on his face and gradually became serious.

Ten thousand troops rushed out of the valley and rushed into the formation of the Qin army. In all likelihood, they would be encircled and suppressed by the Qin army, but as long as the goal is achieved, the casualties are very worthwhile.

As soon as Liu En heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he couldn't help but shuddered all over. He couldn't help but curse inwardly, you old bastard, you thought you had some good tricks, didn't you let me Take the brothers to die?

Liu En had to admit that Du Qi's strategy was still reasonable, but the price was that he would bring ten thousand brothers to die, which was hard for him to accept, and he couldn't help complaining.

"For the sake of Dashu, I will go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, and die without regret!" Even if he is absolutely unwilling, Liu En must take this risk, otherwise, his head will fall to the ground in the next second.

Seeing that Liu En's attitude is still good, Du Qi nodded in satisfaction, "If you win this battle and you come back safely, I will ask the court to give you credit!"

"Thank you, General!"

Liu En thanked him excitedly on the surface, but he began to scold his mother again in his heart.

I am afraid that if you have meritorious service, you will lose your life.

"General, the last general has a question in his mind. If we do as the general said, we need to move the boulder to the top of the edge of the mountain, and after we finish, if the Qin army enters the valley, our army will not have the boulder to hit Qin in the valley. military!"

The boulder is the best weapon to kill the enemies in the valley. Without it, it would be difficult to cause great damage to the enemies in the valley. It is not unreasonable for Liu En to raise this question.

Of course, he raised this question not only to remind Du Qi, but also to hope that Du Qi would give up throwing boulders from the edge of the valley, so that he would not have to bring his brother to die.

"Haha!" Du Qi smiled softly, and said with a confident smile: "It's okay, it's okay, you can rest assured about this, I can guarantee that as long as the Qin army's large equipment is destroyed, the Qin army will not dare to enter the valley, because Qin Jun doesn't know how many boulders we still have!"

Chapter 920 Du Qi's plan!

"The general is thoughtful, and the general admires it!" Liu En smiled on the surface, but his heart was full of criticism.

Du Qi smiled complacently, but when he saw Liu En standing there motionless, he suddenly came back to his senses and asked in a strange way, "Why don't you do it?"

"Uh..." Liu En was at a loss for words for a while, and he didn't know what to say. He couldn't say that he was afraid of death and dared not lead people into the Qin army's shield formation.

Du Qi seemed to have thought of something, his face darkened instantly, "Are you afraid of death?"

"No, no!" Liu En waved his hands again and again, quibbling: "The general is indeed afraid of death, but it is related to the peace of Sichuan. How dare the general dare to be afraid of death? What the general wants to say is that it is difficult to move the boulder above the valley, and it will take a while to move the boulder." Move to the edge above the valley!"

Hearing this answer, Du Qi's face softened a little, and Liu En was also relieved to see that he had concealed his lie.

In fact, what he said is not a lie. It does take a while to move the boulder to the edge. After all, there is no road on the valley, and they are all steep rocks, which require a lot of people to support and push slowly. If you are not careful, the boulder will slip, causing waste.

"How long will it take?" Du Qi asked in a deep voice.

"...More than an hour!" Liu En pondered for a while, and gave an approximate time.

Du Qi frowned and looked towards the west bank of the river bed. When he saw Qin Jun moving slowly, Du Qi thought in his heart that Qin Jun would not be able to pull large equipment to the west bank without an hour or two.

Thinking of this, Du Qi was determined, his frowning brows relaxed, and he waved his hands expressionlessly: "Do it as soon as possible!"

"Obey!" Liu En responded quickly, turned around and left immediately, and started to do the things Du Qi asked him to do.

Time passed slowly, and the two sides remained frozen and prepared, and both sides were surprisingly in the same mind, wanting to deal a severe blow to the enemy.

Little by little, Du Qi watched the Qin army gradually pull the artillery parts to the west bank, and couldn't help becoming anxious. He looked around from time to time to see how far his plan to smash Qin with boulders had progressed. To Du Qi's disappointment, the Shu army The movement is slow, and so far, not a single boulder has moved to the edge of the valley.

Du Qi really wanted to yell at him, but he also understood that as a general, he couldn't show anxiety, otherwise the Shu army, whose morale was unstable, would be even more panicked. Shows non-stop.

Especially the remnants of the West Bank who escaped the bombing of the West Bank, their faces are still pale, and their minds are still not stable.

"What the hell are Qin people's brains made of? Any ghost can be made!" Du Qi kept cursing inwardly, angry at Qin's ability to make things.

At this time, the Qin army had already pulled the parts of more than a dozen ugly cow-style artillery to the west bank, and began to put them together. More artillery parts were brought to the West Bank, and more and more artillery pieces began to be assembled.

Hurry up!Hurry up!

You should hurry up!

Du Qi was so anxious to death that he couldn't help cursing.

"No, it's too late if this goes on like this, we have to come up with a new plan!" Du Qi thought to himself, and decided to think of a way. A general in the distance shouted:

"General Wang, come here!"

The Shu general named Wang Kai hurriedly ran to Du Qi's side, bowed down respectfully and responded, "General, what are your orders!"

"How many soldiers does General Wang have?" Du Qi cut the long story short and asked directly.
