Chapter 546: Nothing to do

The Zhao people who were smuggling bypassed Zhao Jun's Great Wall defense line, and then entered the border of Qin Kingdom. However, they encountered new problems in Qin's new territory. Household registration.

Qin State has a strict household registration system, even in newly established states, everyone must have a new household registration. Household registration is very important to Qin, because household registration is usually directly related to taxation. The State of Qin does not allow tax evasion. Therefore, if a person earns money by relying on his own labor, he must also pay taxes and fees.

Just when these people thought they would solve everything when they came to Qin. I didn't expect to encounter trouble on the household registration side. However, Qin's newly established state assembly passed a local immigration bill. That is if you come from the state. Volunteer to join the nationality of Qin. Then it is regarded as an immigrant. The previous legal documents of the State of Qin are still strictly enforced in the newly established state of the State of Qin. Although the locality has a certain degree of autonomy. But this right is still very small.

The new Qin people who took in these Zhao people. The vast majority of these people from the New Qin Dynasty were also border residents from the Zhao Kingdom and Yunzhong areas. They reported the situation to the local mayor. The local immigration bill handles these matters. As a result, these people have new nationalities. In order to increase tax revenue, the mayor issued a letter of introduction to them and asked them to go to the local meat factory to process meat products. Or the leather factory processes coarse leather. In this way, these people can be well accepted.

The situation of smuggling in this way is just the beginning. These people not only fill their stomachs, but also start to enjoy something they haven't dared to enjoy before. They can drink and chat around the bonfire when there is nothing to do, just like the new Qin people. Listen to what is said in the newspaper. Their lives have been greatly improved. At the very least, the money they earn here is enough to support themselves. But they started to feel homesick. The relatives who want to be far away. They also hope that their family members can also come to Qin. Although the conditions are not very good compared with those of the new Qin people. But it is much better than the current generation. With this idea. These people began to pick up their relatives from generation to generation. When picking up relatives, it is inevitable to tell what he saw and heard in Qin. This experience is triggering a greater wave of smuggling in the country of Zhao. Because many people see a better life, earthquakes, lack of food, cold nights. All these are forcing the people of Zhao to start a large-scale migration to Qin.

In Qidi, the cavalry troops stopped moving forward. They tried to bypass this line of defense. But soon they stopped such stupid thoughts. They have entered a certain depth of Qidi. And this place is fast. Only this lot is passable. To their left, which is to the east, is a mountainous area. Such terrain simply makes it difficult for the cavalry to deploy. The most hateful thing is that Qi people are digging like a mouse. As if overnight, a large fence of barbed wire and trenches appeared across from them. This is disastrous for the cavalry.

After a delay of several days, a team of Yan Guo infantry finally appeared. Their main cavalry also joined them. The cavalry colonel felt a very headache after listening to the major's report. This is the first time I have encountered such a strange play.

Soon, Yan Jun decided to try to destroy the barbed wire in front of the trenches. The Yanjun officers believed that trenches were nothing. The most important thing is the barbed wire. He severely hindered the cavalry's offensive posture. Regarding the trenches, they think the problem is not too big.

They called in a horse artillery unit that followed up quickly.

"I don't care what method you use. In short, you must break the barbed wire on the opposite side." The colonel issued a severe order. The chief military officer of the horse artillery will try various ammunition to break the barbed wire on the opposite side.

"Grenade preparation." The artillery commander exclaimed. He can only use various ammunition one by one.

"Let it go," the gunner shouted, waving his arms.

The shells roared out. The shells landed exactly in the middle of the barbed wire. After the smoke disappeared. They soon discovered that something was wrong. The barbed wire is not damaged at all. This made the colonel a little annoyed. The grenade has always been a killer against the opponent's infantry, but now it is. He really couldn't express his opinion.

Then comes the solid bullet, which is still very powerful. Although the caliber of the horse cannon is small. But the power is very big for infantry. After all, it was a cannon.

The solid projectile ejected close to the wire fence. The impact force of the shells smashed the barbed wire apart, and then bounced and knocked the second layer of barbed wire. But the situation soon realized that something was wrong.

The caliber of the solid bullet is too small. The cannonball just smashed a hole in the dense barbed wire. Instead of opening it completely. If you open such a large piece of barbed wire. Obviously, intensive firing of solid bullets is required.

Then the artillery switched to special ammunition. Chain bullets and knife bullets went into battle separately.

The effect of chain bullets is very poor. The barbed wire actually hung the chain bullet directly on the opponent's barbed wire. The situation with knives and bullets is also terrible. It is also directly hung on the other side's barbed wire. All kinds of ammunition are out. The weapon that usually deals with the opponent's infantry is in front of the barbed wire. Except for the good performance of solid bullets, everything else failed. The officers of the Yan Army were extremely superstitious about artillery. After having artillery, they believe that artillery can solve all problems. Moreover, the range of the artillery is very long, which makes them accustomed to long-range killings, and they hate close combat. No one wants to die. If you die, you won't even have the military pay.

The Yan army hoped to send out infantry to cut a passage with a knife and axe. But what I didn't expect was that in just a few days. The opponent's weapon suddenly rose to a level. They actually changed into muskets. The two sides shot each other. Yan Jun suffered a big loss. The reason is that the opponent is shooting in the trench, and most of the body is well protected. Yan Jun is standing, kneeling and shooting. The body is exposed. Be a good target. But Yan Jun's bullets hit the edge of the mound.

The Yan army, which had no support for fortifications, quickly retreated. The barbed wire hasn't broken much either. Barbed wire has strong toughness. It is a thankless thing to break it with brute force. The harder you are, the more you cut.

In this way, the two sides are in a stalemate. And this time, it was the first time that defensive weapons overwhelmed offensive weapons, and the methods were only barbed wire and trenches.

The appearance of the barbed wire greatly slowed down the opponent's speed. The emergence of trenches is no longer a means of obstruction. It was upgraded to a defensive fortification. The two cooperated with each other, and their power suddenly overwhelmed offensive weapons. The mode of war began to shift from above the surface to unfold below the surface. Trench warfare is gradually taking shape. If there are no new breakthroughs in offensive weapons, then the war is a deadlock war.
