The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Qin's steelmaking technology has been greatly improved, for example, oxygen and hydrogen are blown into the bottom. But being able to smelt steel is already very difficult. The emergence of steelmaking began with coal, and the iron ore mining industry began to develop rapidly.

Following the discovery of an open-pit coal mine in the north, Qin also discovered a lot of open-pit coal near Guyang. The mining volume of iron ore has also begun to increase, and beneficiation has also begun to become one of the indispensable steps in the mining industry.

It's not just north. In Taiyuan County, which is now Fenyang, Shanxi, Xiaoyi generation. Qin Guo discovered coal mines of better quality than those in the north by drilling. The open coal in the north contains a lot of sulfur. The coal mines shot from Taiyuan County contained a little sulfur. As a result, Qin State has a second coal mining area. The demand for coal mines began to increase.

At the same time, Zhao Guo also sent additional manpower to search for black soil. Their targets are mainly concentrated in the two counties of Daidi and Yunzhong. South Korea, located in the center of the Central Plains, cannot prospect for minerals on a large scale like Qin and Zhao. But it can do business well. They began to sell coal purchased from Qin to Qi and Chu. And coal has also begun to be recognized by the six countries.

Just when the three countries are actively developing commercial trade. The battle between Yan and Qi began to heat up.

King Yan was very dissatisfied with the stagnation of the battle between the two divisions. What he wants is Linzi from Qi State. Linzi. Instead of stopping in front of trenches. So the offensive order was issued.

It was not only King Yan who issued the order, but also the winner. He also had to issue an order to regain lost ground as soon as possible. And began to deploy a large number of reinforcements northward to launch an offensive.

Under the calendar. This Qi State is close to the border cities of Zhao State, Wei State, and South Korea. His location is far from Linzi. However, Yan Guo chose this place as a breakthrough. Because no one cares about someone trying to launch an offensive from this inconspicuous place.

But both sides thought of going together. Yan Guo thought this was unexpected. And Qi Guo is not the case, they are also in this idea when they choose here. They wanted to attack from the calendar, bypassing the Yan army's back and attacking. Because of the emergence of trench warfare, the forces of the two sides gradually began to spread out in a line. This has become a long snake formation. Qi Jun also started to pinch one end from the snake's head.

To this end, the two sides began a large-scale assembly of forces. The enlistment of the Yan army was a bit slow, with only two brigades. But the number of artillery is very large. There are more than one hundred guns of various kinds.

For the Qi army, 50,000 people gathered here. Half of them changed into muskets. Although the operation above is not very skilled. But that is enough.

The first to launch the offensive was the Qi army.

At night, Qi Jun used iron scissors. A similar to modern wire pliers. Cut off the barbed wire they had set up, and then a small group of people they organized climbed over the barbed wire and crossed the no-man's land to reach the other side's barbed wire money.

Because of the cans that Yan Jun hangs on the barbed wire, this kind of thing will make noises as long as it is not handled properly. As a result, Qi Jun's team severed the barbed wire very slightly. Even so, someone still accidentally touched these cans.

"Bang." A gunshot broke the calm of the night. Yan Jun discovered the situation. On the Qi Jun side. An officer waved his arm. Numerous siege equipment began to ignite the tung oil filled with earthenware pots and pulled them up vigorously. There is a circle of linen in the clay pot, and the flying clay pot rises into the air like a huge fireball. One, two. Three. Countless clay pots suddenly appeared on Yan Jun's head.

The fireball kept hitting the Yan Jun's position. The clay pot broke and tung oil splashed. The Yan army who stood in the trenches ignited one after another. Yan Jun rolled around trying to put out the fire on his body. Taking advantage of this space, the team began to cut all the barbed wire desperately.

Although the Qi army had a small number of cannons, they had a large number of siege weapons. These siege equipment are not accurate. But the firepower coverage is pretty good. Most importantly, his trajectory is curved, similar to a howitzer. The Qi army made sufficient preparations for this offensive. They first sent a team to break down those barbed wire fences. Prepare for a large-scale offensive by the army. Then, start the attack with the siege equipment. A "fire coverage" was carried out on the Yanjun's position. The flat shells could not hit the target below the ground. But the curved siege equipment can attack the Yan army from the top of the head. This is the secret weapon for the offensive that the Qi army has prepared.

The Yan army's position was a sea of ​​flames, and many people were no longer able to take care of them. Instead, he blindly fled, avoiding the flying "cannonballs." At this time, Qi Jun, the drums of war began to "boom". The offense began.

The Qi army began to rush out of the trenches, but they did not attack in a certain formation. It's a team of one hundred people. Launch an offense. Some of them have spears and some have muskets. They are about to break through the line of defense of the Yan army.

After the team responded well, Qi Jun immediately entered the Yan Army trenches from the team's breakthrough. The Yan army in the trenches was caught off guard. The power of the musket in the trenches suddenly diminished. They can only fire once, and they cannot fire a volley. But Qi Jun is good at fighting. Yan Jun suffered a lot in hand-to-hand combat.

"Hurry up. Hurry up. Load the shells. Rapid fire, rapid fire." Yan Jun's artillery position discovered an unexpected situation. They began to reload the shells quickly.

"Sir, where to fire the gun." The artillery asked.

"No man's land." The artillery officer simply replied. The night is nothing short of a disaster for the artillery. They can't see any goals at all. Helpless can only shoot blindly.

"Boom." The artillery began to fire at no man's land. Then the dim light of the fireball, they could still feel that the no-man's land was densely packed with people. What they want to fight is these dense crowds.

"Huh." The shells roared. A shell accurately exploded in the attacking Qi army crowd, and many people fell to the ground. But the subsequent Qi army still moved forward. They knew that only rushed into the trenches of the Yan army. They will be victorious.

"Charge." The war drum kept urging the soldiers to charge. Although Yan Jun has artillery. But the power is not as powerful as the fireball sent by the opponent's siege equipment. They all had muskets in their hands but couldn't repel the Qi army soldiers who charged.

"Shooting." The officer kept yelling loudly. They tried their best to shoot in the trenches, but the approaching Qi army quickly smashed them apart. Then came brutal hand-to-hand combat. The corpses piled up in the trenches and couldn't move forward.

The Yan army can only temporarily mobilize the offensive troops. They did not enter the trenches, but waited before the next line of defense. The officer knew what his advantage was. That is platoon gun shooting. Knock down multiple opponents at once. Eliminate the opponent completely.
