Chapter 1240: The fighting power of the town

"Zhao Jun has retreated." At this moment, a Qi Jun commander on the river bank looked at the enemy's situation with a telescope.

"General. Zhao Jun retreats. Will our army continue to chase after?" a centurion on the side asked.

"No." The commander said at this time.

"Don't chase." The commander said at this time.

"When the Zhao army retreats, their number will increase, and the next line of defense will be difficult to attack." The commander said.

"Our casualties will increase a lot. We just need to stop there and don't move." The commander said at this time.

"This time, we used the method of concealing the enemy. Let us make a breakthrough." The commander said at this time.

"But next time, we think, we need to be careful," the commander said at this time. The centurion on the side didn't understand what the general would say.

The Qi army launched this offensive for a long time, and even thought about the tactics it launched for the offensive for a long time.

Qi Jun knew very well when the musket developed into a trapdoor rifle. The power of the musket is already great. If a platoon gun is fired, a large number of infantry will die on the road of the charge. And this is disadvantageous to the Alignment Army, because the cost of casualties is too high.

With this in mind, the Qi army improved their tactics, and they began to change the tactical time of the offensive to night. Using the cover of night, and then with the help of crawling tactics, they crawl forward. Slowly approach the enemy. For this reason, their dress code was changed. They made simple crawling clothes out of linen belts, and then lay them on the ground carefully. Then slowly approached.

When they slowly approached the opponent's line. The people in front specialize in destroying defensive weapons such as barbed wire and various mines.

For weapons such as mines. Qi Jun has a brand new response this time, they will use thin iron rods to make their mine detectors, they carefully probe the land, and then feel the mines buried under the land, and then carefully insert some markers, and then go around. In the past, those that couldn't be circumvented were taken out directly. In short, the Qi army has a variety of methods to deal with this defensive weapon. After all, landmines are dead.

As long as Zhao Jun didn't find out, they would slowly approach. At a close enough distance. Qi Jun would throw explosives into the trenches. Things like explosives packs were more powerful than the grenade Zhao Jun equipped himself, but the downside was that the fuse was thrown, sometimes. The fuse will go out. The reason is that the thrown object needs to be rolled, and the process of rolling will extinguish the fuse, or delay the explosion.

And after the explosion. Qi Jun will jump up, usually this distance is already very close. Less than thirty steps away, they will quickly approach the opponent's line of defense. Then enter the opponent's position. Thirty steps. From loading to firing a rifle, the fastest process is only to shoot two bullets. And this process. Soldiers are required to concentrate and operate the rifle extremely calmly and skillfully. But this is usually impossible.

Because in such a stressful situation. It is difficult for soldiers to complete these movements with high difficulty. And just after the first round of shooting. Qi Jun would come in suddenly, followed by a burst of shooting, and the previous explosion would completely blow up Zhao Jun's line of defense. Of course, unexploded explosives would also injure Qi Jun himself, but usually, such an explosion would knock on Zhao Jun's line of defense.

Then the Qi army swarming in will rush into Zhao Jun's position, and Zhao Jun's position will be shaken completely. Then Zhao Jun's position collapsed.

Such tactics knocked on the door of Zhao Jun's position. Zhao Jun still occupies their core position. For some positions on the support points, they had to give up to defend their main positions. The improvement of firearms is conducive to the defensive side. And for the offensive side will be delayed a lot. This is the huge change brought about by technology.

And such defensive tactics are also being carried out in Qin State.

"You must take the latest photos. Understand?" A Celestial Army officer said loudly to a pilot.

"Okay. I will do it." This time. The pilot said loudly.

"Then take off quickly. In the direction of seven o'clock. There is a small town there, and the telegram said that there was an attack by the Qiang people. Go there first to see." The officer said loudly.

"Okay. Take off quickly." This time. The officer said loudly.

"Okay. I took off." The pilot said at this time.

"Start the engine." The officer motioned, a ground crew member, at this time, vigorously turned the wooden propeller.

"Snoring." The engine roared. Then the engine ignites. The propeller spun quickly.

The pilot nodded to the officer. Then the plane immediately lifted off.

And the small town in the direction of seven o'clock. Is being attacked by the Qiang.

"Wow." The sound of horseshoes kept coming through. But there was also the sound of chaotic rifle shooting with the sound of horse hooves.

"Bang. Bang." Gunshots continued to fire from all around.

"Bang." A bullet directly knocked a Qiang on horseback to the ground.

"Swish." The bullets that flew in kept flying past. Everyone has a gun in the situation in the town. Even children can skillfully operate some rifle shooting.

"Boom." A loud voice sounded. A Qin woman stood in the attic. A shotgun shot at the Qiang cavalry who was flying over.

"Ah." Just this shot. Several Qiang cavalry were directly hit on the ground. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to stand up.

"Tututu. Tutu." At this moment. At the commanding heights of the town, the revolver gun made a heart-wrenching "da da" sound. Although the bullets are not very dense, it is enough to make people feel scared.

"Sudden. Pupupupu" the bullet penetrated into the body of the Qiang cavalry. The Qiang cavalry who rushed forward were shot and killed by machine guns. The Qiang cavalry who was impacting at a high speed in the back was also split into two groups.

"Boom." There was a huge roar.

There was a huge explosion.

"Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"Boom." Then another artillery fired. Such shooting directly bombarded the offensive momentum of the Qiang cavalry.

"Buzz." This time. The liaison machine flew up to the town.

"Crack, click." The pilot recorded the exciting battle on the ground with the camera in his hand.

"These **** Qiang people, they are likely to be the regular army of the Qin State." At this time. Said the pilot.

The whole town became a strong fortress. The Qiangs who entered the city were obviously unable to adapt to such a combat environment. Qiangs had become accustomed to field warfare. They relied on high-speed mobile combat horses to fight, and their weapons were mostly long-range shooting weapons. With weapons such as clubs and axes as the majority, their combat methods and tactics have fallen far behind the Qin Army, but after all, they are cavalry, cavalry rushing at high speed.

But that is a field environment. The small town of Qin State is a city with civilized development, a small town established in the Hexi Corridor. Some were originally developed as military fortresses. Some are developed from the logistics supply station of the Qin Army. These towns have a complete defense system. Because Qin Jun attaches great importance to the rear. After the rapid development of Qin State, some small towns had trains, and some small towns were built at the intersection of roads. In this way, some towns behind the Hexi Corridor had no defensive fortresses, but this does not mean that these small towns There is no defensive ability.

Qin is a country that relies on martial arts. In addition, Qin has legalized gun possession, so all five or six-year-old children in Qin will shoot. It is conceivable how popular the guns in Qin are.

In the Hexi Corridor area, everyone in the town has guns, and every household has five or six guns. Some people with more guns can be equipped with a standard infantry squad.

And where these small towns gather. It is often the place where commercial trade is most developed. This is usually a place where slave traders and some mercenaries gather, because it is a road intersection. Soldiers usually gather here, so it is not difficult to explain why the small town here has such a powerful attack ability.

As for the artillery. These are the militia system of the Qin State, as well as those mercenaries.

The mercenaries will pay for some advanced weapons. Their spending on weapons never blinks. Not only that.

Except for the mercenaries. There are also a large number of militia organizations. These militias were the first to spontaneously defend the Qiang people who were descending the Hexi Corridor.

The weapons of these militias are all relied on the local local government to complete the formation, and adult residents of the small town are obliged to participate. Because Qiang’s offensives often have disastrous consequences, the residents of the small town have to proceed with caution.

Although, the Qin Army established a fairly long line of defense in the area south of the Qilian Mountains. But they still formed their own militia and bought some outdated artillery from the Qin army. The purchase of these weapons increased the firepower of the Qin National Soldiers a lot. The defense of the town increased a lot in an instant.

Qiang's offense. Faced with such a sharp firearm attack. It is difficult to achieve too much. And the town has organized resistance. Especially the militia formed by the residents of small towns. The combat capability is no less than that of the regular army. And the tactics are more flexible.

"These hapless Qiangs, they even attacked our town." At this time, the pilot said while taking pictures in the sky. He knew the following situation very clearly. He knew very well that the offensive of the Qiang would soon be dismantled.

As for the casualties, he didn't want to know too much.
