On the second day, Zhao Jun started an extremely strange tactic. Nearly 20,000 people took shovel and **** and started digging trenches around the Yan Jun’s artillery.

Until noon. Zhao Jun's outer trench has been dug, and he starts with the outer trench. Separate different slender trenches and advance to Julu City. Go forward a hundred steps, start a circle, and then go forward a hundred steps. in this way. At the end of the day. There are already three circles surrounding Julu City.

Yan Jun felt bad. Fire immediately. But the fired shells did nothing at all. The shell hit the ground. Ejected. Can not kill any Zhao Jun. And Zhao Jun all hid in the pit. Thus. The firing does not matter what it does.

There is no way. In order to save shells, Yan Jun had to helplessly watch Zhao Jun digging slowly.

The method Li Mu came up with was really helpless. The sharpness of the artillery. You are simply not allowed to launch a large-scale offensive formation. In order to avoid the damage of the artillery, we can only adopt this method of going underneath and avoiding advancement.

This method has gradually evolved into trench warfare in Europe and America. This method of warfare is extremely disgusting. Because both sides attack anyway. All have to trap in this endless quagmire of trenches.

This method of tactics appeared in Europe and America during the American Civil War, and Shang Wen believes that this method of trench warfare should have been available during the Kangxi period of China. because. According to historical records, this was how the Kangxi war against Russia was fought. In order to avoid the Russian artillery and gun attacks, the Qing army adopted such a method.

Zhao Jun's current approach is to go out for the same purpose, avoiding sharp artillery firearms. Shift large-scale formations to ensure personnel safety. Shang Wen had this idea at the beginning. But it was just an idea, and it was not implemented. And Li Mu's move first began this kind of trench warfare. Although helpless, it completely stopped the Yanjun artillery from continuing to show off.

Seeing this, Yan Jun immediately dispatched five hundred musketeers to fight. As soon as the team was lined up, it was shot away with a bow and arrow by Zhao Jun, who was hiding in the trench. Archers don't need to show their heads at all. Just use curved shots to shoot indiscriminately. The Yanjun gunner left more than 30 corpses and returned to the city.

In this way, both Yan and Zhao entered a stalemate under Julu City. One side defends the city, and the other digs a trench to besiege.

And Yueshi in the north, at this time, after countless harassment by thousands of people, finally began the temptation of a large-scale offensive.

This time their main goal was focused on the starting point of the highway to Xianyang. Guyang. This is not only Meng Tian's base camp, but also an important source of iron for the Qin army. It must not be lost here.

The bad situation in Guyang is that there is no city built at all. The central location of the city was the iron factory, and then some private houses, warehouses, etc. were expanded along the iron factory. This way down. The issue of urban defense is not considered at all. In ancient times. Urban defense is an important consideration, but Shangwen lives in a modern metropolis and has long ignored this factor. therefore. Guyang's defenses are extremely weak.

Meng Tian's defensive measures are also temporary. Because of the cold weather. Put bamboo sticks on the sand and pour water on it. Form a simple earth wall. The arrival of Tu Sui Musket Group. Let Meng Tian disperse three of the five artillery companies to various traffic to defend. In some important places, barbed wire is also drawn densely. The iron factory never lacks this thing. In order to increase obstacles. So all the coal and **** from the iron plant were scattered at various intersections. Thus. Defense measures are beginning to take shape.

The tentative army sent by the Yue's army is 20,000. Several days in a row. The Yue army dispatched an army of 1,000 men to harass. To test the situation of the Qin army's combat power. But every time I approached, there was no fierce crossbow shooting back. After several attempts to no avail, the Yueshi people lost their patience and began a large-scale offensive.

As in the past. The people of the Yue family swaggered and assembled a team on the periphery of the Qin army to attack. In order to avoid Qin's crossbows, they often start forming teams at a distance of 800 steps.

If there is no artillery before. Qin Jun was helpless. However, they were unlucky this time. How could Qin Jun, who possessed artillery, give up such an opportunity. Seeing that the Yue's army was gathering in the whole team. Meng Tian immediately ordered the remaining two artillery companies to be arranged here, and began to bombard the Yueshi people indiscriminately.

With a range of less than two miles, shotguns cannot be used, and chain bullets are somewhat reluctant to use. So, the gunner of Qin Jun began to use the gun sight to determine the distance, calculate the burning time of the gunpowder, and cut the grenade fuze with scissors. Then refill.

"Let it go." "Boom." "Whoo." The shells whizzed out.

"Boom. Boom." The shells exploded accurately in the Yueshi team. The Yue cavalry that was hit was totally unrecognizable. All the horses were frightened. hard to control. The team began to become messy.

"Boom. Boom. Boom." Three volleys. The shells landed accurately in the Yue cavalry. Many cavalry have fallen off their horses. Those hit by shrapnel were either dead or injured. Those injured have not had time to call for help. He was trampled to death by other horses. The Yue cavalry is no longer controlled by anyone. The artillery began a crazy massacre.

It takes five steps to load the shells, and the artillery of the Qin Army faces the abnormal number of five steps. The cooperation is very tacit, so it launches very fluently, under such intensive bombardment. The Yueshi people began to rout before the team was ready. Their leaders were hit by the flying shrapnel and died on the spot. All the Yueshi people escaped.

A battle to test the strength of the Qin army was over before it started. All this is due to the power of artillery.

As for muskets and artillery, Qin is transporting a large number of them to the northern front. Especially artillery. This powerful weapon. Qin Jun also specially deployed large-scale crossbowmen for simple training. Then quickly transferred to the north. Waiting for the arrival of artillery in the north.

All artillery produced by the arsenal were sent to the northern front without exception. Just off the assembly line, if the maintenance oil is not on, just pull it away and send it away. All materials are needed for war.

The target is that samples of guns and artillery have been trial-produced. These things were sent to the newly established staff for evaluation. Then determine which type of gun will become Qin's standard weapons and equipment.

Princess Wenyang Yingyu is undoubtedly the leader among these five arsenals. Because, judging from the time of producing muskets. Yingyu's arsenal had produced nearly 5,000 muskets before the bidding, which is rich in experience. After the tender was issued, Yingyu quickly expanded two gun production lines, using two press machines made of hydraulic and hydraulic presses. In this way, most of the components can be produced by themselves.
