Chapter 338: Defensive battle

The main force of the Qin army crossing the river began to build fortifications along the line of Helan Mountain. Their fortification model is arranged in accordance with the defense in depth of the northern Mengtian.

A large number of soldiers began to use bayonets, shovels, and pickaxes to dig on the spot. At the same time, some soldiers began to arrange barbed wire, and the artillery dragged the cannon up. There are also some engineers who cross the river. Most of these engineers went to re-establish logistical supplies. Therefore, the first batch of landmines allocated to the engineers was not deployed.

The Qin Army’s defense line was thirty miles long, and the defense was thirty-five miles in depth. In this long and narrow defense, the Qin Army entered a defensive state. The other side is doing everything possible to restore normal supplies. But in the face of Ling Xun, they were also helpless.

Just halfway through the construction of the fortifications by the Qin Army. A squad of a thousand people from Yue's who had been hit by mistake by mistake entered the Qin army's defensive circle. At first they just thought it was a small Qin army. But when they climbed up to see the people from the Qin army's blockbuster are building fortifications. I immediately realized that it was bad. So they began to send a large number of liaison officers to report to their general.

Just when this Yueshi Thousand-member team accidentally discovered Qin Jun. Qin Jun's scout, the lookout post also found the opponent. The cavalry of the Qin Army immediately dispatched to destroy this face-to-face enemy.

The opponent didn't seem to be in a hurry to fight, and saw the Qin army cavalry dispatched, and took the initiative to retreat. Qin Jun withdrew. Yue's cavalry stepped forward to harass. But he didn't dare to get too close. Because the opponent has artillery. In this way, the two sides pulled back and forth without fighting. Qin Jun reluctantly took the initiative to withdraw from the position.

The Yue cavalry are elite, and they still know how to fight. Instead of blindly adopting the tactics of fierce fighting.

They are waiting, waiting for the arrival of the main force. Qin Jun stepped up the construction of fortifications. They know each other's intentions.

Yue's army began to assemble quickly. After they received the order. He began to change direction and head here. The Yue cavalry are arriving one after another. Qin Jun's fortifications can only be regarded as careless. Without any choice. The Qin army immediately went into battle. They need a short break. Because digging these soil and rocks in winter is too laborious.

The fortifications of the Qin Army were built on the mountain. They firmly control the commanding heights. The people of the Yue family can only take the approach of attacking. If you want to attack, you must dismount and fight on foot. The people of the Yue family didn't know why the Qin army was defending on the spot. Did they send someone to detect their actions? The Yue people, who did not understand Qin Jun's intentions, began the first wave of offensive temptations.

They carefully checked Qin Jun's defenses and found that there was a terrifying barbed wire fence. Compared to the battle in the north. The barbed wire is not dense. Qin Jun couldn't get close. These are the things at the bottom of the box.

Ten thousand people attacked in three lanes. The offensive line is to avoid the deadly barbed wire. Interspersed in the middle. They also knew that Qin Jun had something that breathed fire. to this end. The offensive weapons held by a large number of soldiers are bows and arrows. Soldiers in the front row hold shields and swords. Provide bow and arrow cover behind. Finally, a large number of soldiers followed. Just tear a hole. You can rush in directly.

The offense began. Sanlu Yueshi began to launch a violent charge. The artillery used by the Qin Army first carried out intensive suppression. Yueshi had already expected it. They started with a scattered skirmish formation. When they are close to the position, they will quickly form a formation to attack. The effect of Qin's artillery attack was not very obvious.

The Yueshi quickly approached Qin Jun's barbed wire. The Yueshi in the front row used shields as cover. Start to move forward. The soldiers of the Qin Army hid in the trenches to fight back. The archers of the Yue family didn't look at them at all, and directly used curved shots to kill and wound the Qin army in large numbers. Qin military guns are limited. But still shot. The killing effect is very limited. The situation is very dangerous for Qin Jun.

The people of Yueshi advanced to the last barbed wire defense line of the position. Within fifty steps. This is within the effective killing distance of Qin Jun's gun. shooting. Yueshi's shields vary in quality and size. There are iron plates on the better surface. Only leather is medium. Those with poor quality were injured all at once, and many undefended areas were also severely shot at their limbs. These people were soon topped by successors. The people of Yueshi are still moving forward.

Qin Jun began to use their assassin. Grenade. This kind of grenade is ignition type. This is the first extremely cheap cheap grenade equipped by the Qin Army. The purchase price is very one.

The soldiers of the Qin Army hid in the trenches and began to throw a lot of grenades. The explosion kept ringing. But the Yueshi people were dizzy by the bombing. The Qin Army’s artillery was to support the infantry. Unload the artillery directly from the gun mount and place it on the mound for shooting at a large depression angle. But the effect is not very obvious. Because they are not equipped with curved fire weapons such as mortars. Defensive in the mountains, especially in close range. The Qin Army’s artillery had very little room for display.

The most powerful firepower is the grenades. This cheap weapon. After throwing a lot of grenades. The Qin army began to shoot intensively. The archers of the Yue family faced the Qin Army's muskets directly under a large number of holes in the front row.

They couldn't hold their heads up because of the dense bullets. They had to use their partner's body as a cover. But the **** bow shooting requires an upright aim. In desperation, they could only lie on their backs, holding their bows and arrows horizontally and shooting. Qin Jun hid in the trenches. There was no way to shoot Qin Jun. The dense bullets created a tense environment, and the dense smoke after the gunpowder was fired made the entire battlefield confused. Without any choice. The people of the Yue family can only throw arrows indiscriminately. This way down. The cocked arm was hit by a bullet. Many people were shot in the arm. The people of Yueshi simply couldn't move forward. Going forward a little bit is suppressed by the opponent's bullets. The Yueshi people are stuck in the narrow barbed wire channel. this place. It is also the location where the Qin army fired intensively. They can hit each other by shooting randomly.

A long line was blocked behind. This makes them very aggrieved. This position is exactly at the critical point of the attack angle of the Qin Army’s artillery. Cannonballs can hit them hard. Gong, can't attack. Retreat, can’t retreat. Without any choice. Many people had no choice but to brandish knives. Cut off those wire fences and move forward. that's all. The Yueshi continuously broke through several barbed wire fences to open up new channels. They just rushed up. It was crushed by dense bullets.

The people of the Yue family had to pay a heavy price if they wanted to break through the battlefield. The Yue clan who was beaten crazy began to charge wildly at all costs. The firing rhythm of Qin Jun couldn't keep up with the crazy charge of the Yue people at all costs. This kind of meatball play finally approached the Qin army's defensive position.
