From dawn to evening, the day passed.
In one day, the Qiang army erected high walls at a distance of about 200 steps in front of the Han Army camp. Their steps were only 200 steps away and did not take another step forward.
The wooden high wall is definitely not the pursuit of the Qiang troops. They actually began to stack sandbags outside the high wall. Soon, objects built with sandbags appeared.
In the morning, the Han army would shoot arrows wantonly. In the back, only the Qiang troops would shoot arrows while stacking sandbags. The Han Army's reduction in the frequency of arrows greatly boosted the morale of the Qiang people. They thought they had found the right way to offset the Han Army's bow and crossbow.
"No, no, No." Facing the blind optimism of his generals, Yao Yizhong told the cruel truth: "there is only a slight barrier 200 steps away, or the Han Army did not move the riprap truck forward."
From this point of view, Yao Yizhong remained sober and was not overjoyed by the temporary progress. He did not expect to make great progress in one day. After all, which battle with more than 100000 will be decided in a few days? It is normal to fight any battle for three or five years. He wants to be eager for success, but it is clear that it will take a few months.
Liu Yan doesn't think it's a big deal to build a wooden wall of Qiang nationality, but it's unbearable to stack sandbags and build a wall.
The stone dumper of Han army was transferred to the front in the evening. Among the sound of wood friction of instruments, a school fired stone bullet was launched out. After flying in the air, it fell into a pile of sandbags.
The weight should be about 20 kilograms of stone bullets falling. At the same time, the dull sound was sent out, and the smashed sandbags suddenly sputtered around in an instant. It was a case of broken sandbags, broken sacks and sand and stone splashing. People around were touched by flying sand and stone, and all of them screamed bitterly.
When a modern car is running, the stones are sputtered when the wheels are rolled. What kind of damage will it cause if it is hit? The kinetic energy generated by the falling stone bullet will not be much less than the kinetic energy of the sputtered stone crushed by the wheel. You can imagine what damage it will cause.
If the first test shot hits, then other stone throwing vehicles can basically drop the shot stone bullets around as long as they are set according to the ruler.
The sound of sour teeth sounded frequently in the Han Army camp. Each sound would bring a stone bullet and be thrown into the air. They would break the air and make a strange sound of "purring", and then hit it heavily.
The three camps of the Han army need stone throwing vehicles to launch. There should be about 500 of them. One volley is that 500 stone bullets fall, and they will not all hit the target they want to attack. Hitting a sandbag is the sputtering of sand and soil in the dull sound, hitting a wooden wall is the flying of sawdust and sticks, hitting the human body... Leaving a piece of flesh and blood.
The instruments produce terror, spread and continuous dull noise. Each sound of them can make the Qiang soldiers tremble. The morale originally boosted is slowly reduced and then reduced in one dull sound after another. This is the power of equipment and quantity, which can change the general trend!
Yao Yizhong learned that the news was that he left the Chinese army and came not far from the front. He looked at his own soldiers running around, and his face was silent.
How much did it cost the Qiang troops to build those high walls? The Han Army just moved the riprap truck forward to attack, spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and suffered thousands of casualties. The results were about to be destroyed!
"Lord." Huyansheng asked cautiously, "are you still planning?"
Yao Yizhong just nodded.
They had long expected that the Han army would fight back, and never forgot the Han Army's stone dump truck. In fact, they had been prepared for what they did during the day, including the blow they encountered.
The Han Army's stone dump truck fired stone bombs all night, waiting for another morning. The light came to the earth again. The original position of the high wall became extremely messy.
There are stone bullets everywhere on the ground. The high wall made of sandbags is soft, the wooden high wall is inclined and broken to the ground, and all kinds of complete or incomplete bodies are scattered everywhere.
Not all the fortifications were destroyed by the Han army. About 60% of the fortifications remained, but the Han Army's stone dumpers were too cruel and made all the Qiang troops retreat.
In the early morning, Yao Yizhong appeared at the front again. He silently watched the tragic situation ahead. Behind him were the twenty or thirty thousand Qiang troops who were ready again.
There is no need to observe specially. A new batch of equipment is standing in the middle of the army. It seems that Yao Yizhong still wants his troops to do business as the day before?
With the sound of drums, the Qiang soldiers shouted again and pushed the sword shield car and other instruments forward. When they entered the range of the strong crossbow of the Han Army, the sky was full of crossbows and arrows again.
It may be the experience of the previous day that the Qiang troops moved much faster this time than the first time. It took only half an hour to push a new batch of equipment in place.
Among those instruments, there was the shadow of rushing cars. It was a huge product with wheels at the bottom. It was in a triangular shape and covered with iron sheets. Most of them were used to hit the city gate. This time, they were in the field offensive to stop arrows.
The action of the Han army was the same as the day before. When the Qiang troops reached the range of weapons, the Han Army greeted them with long-range weapons. The endless ordinary and thick crossbows and arrows made Yao Yizhong and others look grim.
"How many arrows do they have in reserve?" Huyansheng was a little angry: "it doesn't make sense!"
Liu Yancai has been rising for five years. Even if he is properly managed, he should not have such a strong productivity. His weapons and armor are the best in the world. Which of the bed crossbow, cart crossbow and riprap cart does not need to have a deep foundation to build? I haven't found that there are so many remote instruments in the world today, such as bed crossbows, crossbows, stone throwing carts and so on!
The real situation is that the state of Zhao in Shijie can also make large-scale remote instruments, but Shi Hu firmly holds those craftsmen in his hands. In addition to the Jie nationality, there are no similar craftsmen in the hands of a powerful leader like Yao Yizhong.
In addition, there are really few countries in the world that have wantonly installed bed crossbows, crossbows and stone throwing carts, that is, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the state of Zhao in Shijie and the state of Murong Yan. That is not only the limitation of resources, but also the scarcity of craftsmen who master relevant technologies.
Any craftsmen who master the country's important tools will not overflow. The number of craftsmen limits the production capacity, and it is not that countries are unwilling to increase craftsmen who master relevant technologies. It is the same knowledge that people can master, which does not mean that everyone can learn it.
Not only huyansheng, but even Yao Yizhong and even all the important officials of Shijie Zhao state, they don't understand why Liu Yan can rise so rapidly. In the early stage, they guessed that he could get the help of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Later, they knew it was impossible. If the Eastern Jin Dynasty had such strength, would it still nest in the south of the Yangtze River?
Yao Yizhong knows that no matter how the Qiang troops set up fortifications, they will encounter the attack of the Han Army, but many times they clearly know they have to do it, especially in terms of layout.
"This time, it was still a stone throwing truck that seduced the Han army."
"Yes!"
The repeated business is going on again. During this period, the long-range attack of the Han Army has not stopped, that is, the Qiang army has a new pattern than the day before.
"Report!!!" When the scouts returned, they immediately shouted before getting off their horses: "the enemy cavalry was found behind our camp. The number is about 15000!"
The new news made Liu Yan's eyebrows pick.
The main camp of the Han army is centered on Luoyin, with Jishui on the back, leaving about ten li of activity space in the middle. The three camps are in the shape of Pinzi. The exploratory focus of Qiang troops has always been the two "mouth" characters in the left and right direction of Pinzi.
Setting up a camp will focus on the direction of the enemy. Generally, it will be a little weaker behind it. That is not only a slight reduction in fortifications, but also in the number of defensive forces.
It is inevitable to mobilize the necessary bow and crossbow troops to strengthen defense, but with the emergence of Qiang cavalry behind the camp, Qiang cavalry began to appear on the other three sides, that is, the disadvantage of strength.
"Complete passive defense is not feasible!" Sang Yu was talking about military common sense. It's not advisable to stick to it, and it's even more undesirable to completely shrink your head. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, send cavalry against it?"
The number of cavalry brought by Liu Yan was not large. He "made up" some in a few days, but there were only 1500 bow cavalry and 4000 sudden cavalry. The Huben army with heavy cavalry was still on the way to help.
Soon, the gate behind the Han army was opened, and about 5000 cavalry roared out in the heavy sound of horse hoofs like beating drums.
Yao Yizhong immediately "ha ha" laughed at the news that the Han army sent cavalry. After laughing, he said to his subordinates in a controlled tone: "our goal has been achieved!"
The Qiang army is not afraid of the Han Army going out of the stronghold to meet the attack. In fact, the fear is that the Han army uses the benefits of bows and crossbows to strictly prevent and defend. Yao Yizhong firmly believes that as long as the Han army is willing to fight in the field, it is their victory. All because they have sufficient troops, the Han army is only 30000.
"The first time, there will be the second!" Huyansheng looked relieved and said, "every time we kill a Han soldier in the field, it means that Liu Yan's available soldiers are reduced by one!"
The field riding battle took place soon. It was a battle in a long and narrow terrain. Because Yao Yizhong had the mentality of fighting and consuming, the light riding of Qiang did not go around much. At the beginning, it was head-on.
The Han cavalry who went out of the camp did not dodge. They charged directly under the command of Liu Yan.
At the moment when the two armies were about to collide, as the commander-in-chief, Liu Yan and Yao Yizhong both moved to a visible position and looked at the position where the dust and smoke were sweeping with the naked eye. There, the sound of horses' hoofs shook the sky, the sound of shouting and killing were also shouted out, and the red wave and the colorful wave beat each other
