From dawn to evening, the day went by.
In one day, the Qiang army erected a high wall at a distance of about 200 steps in front of the Han army camp, and their footsteps were only 200 steps away, and they did not take a step forward.
The wooden wall was definitely not the pursuit of the Qiang troops, they actually began to stack sandbags outside the high wall, and soon objects with sandbags appeared on top of each other.
The Han army would also shoot arrows in the morning, and in the back it was only the Qiang troops who were stacking sandbags.
The Han army's reduction in the frequency of firing arrows greatly boosted the morale of the Qiang side, who thought they had found the right way to counteract the Han army's bows and crossbows.
"No, no, no."
Yao Yizhong faced the blind optimism of his generals and told the cruel truth: "It was only a slight barrier two hundred steps away, or the Han army did not move the stone-throwing cart forward. ” In this way, Yao Yizhong remained awake and was not ecstatic because of the momentary progress.
He didn't expect to make great progress in one day, after all, any battle with more than 100,000 yuan would be decided in a few days, and it was normal to fight for three or five years, he wanted to rush to achieve it, but he knew very well that it would take a few months to be a small amount.
The Qiang people erect a wooden wall or something, in Liu Yan's opinion, there is no big deal, but if you stack sandbags and then make an earthen wall, it will be unbearable.
The Han army's stone-throwing cart was mobilized in the evening, and in the sound of wooden grinding of equipment, a school-fired stone bullet was first fired, which flew through the air and landed in a pile of sandbags.
The stone bullet, which should have weighed about twenty catties, fell, and at the same time as the dull sound was made, the smashed sandbag splashed out violently in all directions in an instant.
It was a situation where the sandbags were broken, the sacks and the sand and stones were scattered, and the people around them were all screaming when they were touched by the flying sand and stones.
In the driving of modern cars, the wheels are crushed to the stones and are sputtered out, if they are hit, what kind of damage will be caused, and the kinetic energy generated by the stone projectile falling down will not be much less than the kinetic energy of the stones that are splashed by the wheels, so you can imagine what damage will be caused.
The first test shot hits, and then the next other stone throwing vehicles, as long as they are set according to the ruler, can basically land the stone bullets around.
Bursts of sore teeth sounded frequently in the Han military camp, each of which would bring up a stone bullet that was thrown into the air, and they would break through the air and make a strange "whine" sound, and then slam down hard.
The three Han army camps are going to be launched by stone-throwing vehicles, their number should be about 500 units, a salvo is 500 stone bullets falling, they will not all hit the target they want to attack, hitting the sandbag is a muffled sound to produce sand and soil splashing, hitting the wooden wall is sawdust and wooden bars flying, hitting the human body is leaving a piece of flesh and blood.
The terror of the equipment was spreading, and the continuous dull sound, each of them could make the Qiang soldiers' hearts tremble, and the morale that had been boosted was slowly lowered and lowered again and again in one muffled sound after another.
This is the power of the instrument, the power that can change the general trend Yao Yizhong learned that he had left the Chinese army and came to the front not far away, and he looked at his soldiers who were fleeing in all directions, and his face was calm.
How much did it cost the Qiang troops to build those high walls, and the Han army only moved the stone-throwing carts forward to attack, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources and thousands of casualties, but the results were about to be destroyed "Warlord."
Hu Yansheng asked cautiously: "It's still in the plan" Yao Yizhong only nodded.
They had long expected that the Han army would counterattack, and they had never forgotten the Han army's catapult, so what they did during the day, including the blows they encountered, were actually mentally prepared.
The Han army's stone-throwing carts fired stone projectiles all night, waiting for another morning to come, and the light once again fell on the earth, where the high walls had once stood, became extremely shambled.
The ground was littered with stone bullets, the walls of sandbags were softened, the wooden walls were slanted and shattered, and corpses of all kinds, complete and mutilated, were scattered everywhere.
Not all the fortifications were destroyed by the Han army, and the remaining fortifications should be about sixty percent, but the Han army's stone-throwing carts were too ferocious to make all the Qiang troops retreat.
Early in the morning, Yao Yizhong appeared at the front again, he silently watched the tragic situation ahead, and behind him were the twenty or thirty thousand Qiang troops who had been prepared again.
There is no need to make special observations, the new batch of equipment is standing in the middle of the troops, and it seems that Yao Yizhong still wants to let the troops under his command do the same work as the day before As soon as the drums sounded, the Qiang soldiers shouted again to push the sword and shield carts and other equipment forward, and when they entered the range of the Han army's strong crossbow, the sky was once again full of crossbow arrows.
Probably based on the experience of the previous day, the Qiang troops moved much faster this time than the first time, and it only took half an hour to push a new batch of equipment into place.
Among the machines appeared the shadow of a rushing cart, a large product with wheels underneath, triangular above, covered with pieces of iron, most of which were used to strike the city gates, but this time they were in the midst of a field offensive, as little more than a shield from arrows.
The movements of the Han army have not changed from the day before, what weapons have the Qiang troops reached, what long-range weapons did the Han army use to greet them, and the endless ordinary crossbow arrows and thick crossbow arrows made the faces of Yao Yizhong and others always look grim.
"How many arrows do they have in reserve" Hu Yansheng was a little angry: "It's completely unreasonable."
Liu Yancai has only been rising for five years, even if it is properly managed, it should not have such a strong productivity, weapons and armor are the best in the world, bed crossbows, car crossbows, and stone-throwing vehicles, which do not need to have a deep foundation to build, I have not found that there are so many remote equipment such as bed crossbows, car crossbows, and stone-throwing vehicles that can be built today The real situation is that Shijie Zhao Guo can also make large-scale long-range equipment, but Shi Hu has those craftsmen firmly in his hands, and there are no similar craftsmen in the hands of a high-ranking and powerful clan leader like Yao Yizhong except for the Qian clan.
In addition, there are really few countries that are now arrogantly equipped with bed crossbows, car crossbows, and stone-throwing carts, that is, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shijie Zhao State, and Murong Yan Kingdom, which is not only the limitation of resources, but also the scarcity of craftsmen who have mastered relevant technologies.
The number of craftsmen limits the production capacity, and it is not that countries are unwilling to increase the number of craftsmen who master the relevant technology, but the same knowledge is mastered, but it does not mean that everyone can learn it.
Not only Hu Yansheng, but even Yao Yizhong and even all the important ministers of Shijie Zhao, they couldn't understand why Liu Yan was able to rise so quickly, in the early stage, they guessed that they had the help of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and after thinking about it a little, they knew that it was impossible, if the Eastern Jin Dynasty had that kind of strength, would they still be nesting south of the Yangtze River Yao Yizhong knew that no matter how the Qiang troops erected fortifications, they would be hit by the Han army, but many times they knew that they had to do it, especially when it came to layout.
"This time it's still a stone-throwing cart that seduces the Han army."
"Yes" The repetitive work was going on again, and the long-range attacks of the Han army did not stop during this period, that is, the Qiang army had new tricks compared to the previous day.
The "newspaper" had a scout returning, and before the people dismounted, they immediately shouted: "The enemy cavalry has been found behind our camp, and the number is about 15,000."
The new news made Liu Yan's eyebrows furrowed.
The large camp of the Han army is centered on Luoyin, with Jishui on the back, and there is about ten miles of activity space in the middle.
The three camps are in the shape of the word pin, and the focus of the Qiang troops' tentative focus has always been the two "mouth" characters in the left and right directions of the word "pin".
The establishment of a camp will be emphasized, generally in the direction of facing the enemy, and the back will indeed appear slightly weaker.
That was not only a slight reduction in the fortifications, but also in the number of defensive troops.
It is inevitable to mobilize the necessary bow and crossbow troops to strengthen the defense, but with the appearance of Qiang cavalry behind the camp, Qiang cavalry also began to appear on the other three sides, which is the disadvantage of the number of troops.
"It's not feasible to be completely passive defense" Sang Yu said military common sense, it is not advisable to defend to the death, and it is even more undesirable to completely shrink the head of the turtle, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, send cavalry to fight against it" The number of cavalry brought by Liu Yan was not large, and some were "replenished" within a few days, but there were only 1,500 cavalry archers and 4,000 cavalry, and the Tiger Ben army with heavy cavalry was still on the way to help.
Soon, the gate in the rear of the Han army was opened, and about 5,000 cavalry roared out to the sound of heavy drum-like hooves.

Yao Yizhong immediately laughed "haha" when he got the news of the Han army's cavalry, and after laughing, he said to his subordinates in a tone that he knew everything was under control: "Our goal has been achieved" Yao Yizhong firmly believes that as long as the Han army is willing to fight in the field, it is only because they have sufficient troops, but the Han army is only 30,000.
"There will be a second time" Hu Yansheng was relieved, and said: "Every time we kill a Han soldier in a field battle, it means that there is one less soldier available in Liu Yan's hands."
A cavalry battle in the field soon took place, and it was an engagement in the long and narrow terrain.
Because Yao Yizhong had the mentality of fighting consumption, the light cavalry of the Qiang tribe did not go around in circles, and they were head-on at the beginning.
The Han cavalry who went out of the camp to fight did not dodge, they directly charged under Liu Yan's orders.
At the moment when the two armies were about to collide, Liu Yan and Yao Yizhong, who were the commanders-in-chief, both moved to a position where they could see the dust and smoke with the naked eye, where the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky, shouts and shouts of killing were also shouted, and the red wave and the colorful wave slapped against each other Dividing line There is also a chapter, asking for recommendation votes:
