Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 298 297. All-in
The day.

Zhang Qi brought out a hundred craftsmen who were good at building siege equipment from the world of riding and cutting.

Then Hu Shui was summoned and asked him to take these hundred people down to build the siege catapults and ballistas that are common in the world of riding and hacking.

Of course, the production materials are also brought out from the world of riding and chopping. Except for trees, which are relatively heavy materials, which use outside trees, other accessories are brought out by Zhang Qi.

As the first batch of siege equipment used for research, the trebuchet and ballista have long been played by these craftsmen.

After several generations of iterative improvements, today's catapults and catapults are much more powerful than the original catapults and catapults in the world of riding and cutting.

Whether it is power, range, or accuracy, none of the original equipment in the world of riding and hacking can compare.

The reason why Zhang Qi chose to use these two instruments was because of the high proficiency of the craftsmen, and because of their simplicity.

There are naturally more powerful siege equipment, but facing the Han army that doesn't even have a city wall, it is a bit inferior to use it.

The craftsmen led the soldiers to rush to make it day and night. In nine days, twenty ballistas and ten catapults were assembled.

It's not that you can't make more, but that if you have more, your combat effectiveness will be reduced.

A trebuchet requires a lot of manpower, at least more than 20 people are needed to play it.

The ballista is slightly better, but it also requires four or five people to operate one.

The siege equipment was transported out of the camp as soon as it was assembled.

These big guys can't be fast, even if the craftsmen installed bottom wheels when assembling, the weight is there.

Fortunately, the current focus of the Han army is on the fortification, and the Youyi army is harassing them all the time, and they have no time to care about them. The siege equipment can reach the battle site safely.

within the tent.

Zhang Qi stood in front of the sand table and deduced the possible variables of the battle over and over again.

finally.

After nine days of thinking.

Zhang Qi gathered the exquisitely shaped little soldiers on the sand table together with both hands, and pushed them in the direction of the Han army.

"I miss you, I'm all-in!"

"The whole army is on!"

"Decree! All ministries hurry up and rest. Tomorrow, we will prepare meals at the third watch and set off at the fourth watch!"

"promise!"
-
Night still covers the land.

But in the camp, the beating of drums is also one after another.

The misty aroma of cooking smoke made many Xiongnu herdsmen swallow their saliva.

Whole cattle and sheep were slaughtered in advance and are being roasted at the moment.

Sprinkle salt, apply syrup, and use spices that Zhang Qi recognized from various traditional Chinese medicines.

The soldiers feasted on it.

Although they can let go of their stomachs and eat, they know that eating [-]% full is enough.

In addition to eating, Zhang Qi distributed low-alcohol fruit wine before the fourth watch.

He raised the earthen bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Without any extra words, he threw the bowl and roared, "Get on the horse!"

There was the sound of a bowl shattering.

The [-] Youyi Army, the [-] Liaodong Army, and the [-] Xiutu Warriors responded one after another.

In the past ten days, King Xiutu had surrendered to Zhang Qi's personal charm and official position.

Under his connection, the warriors of the Eight Thousand Xiutu Department can also be used as a force.

Horses galloping.

When the sky was bright, they came to the boundary only twenty miles away from the Han army camp.

The herdsmen and guard cavalry who delivered the siege equipment in advance have long been waiting.

The 75 guard cavalry replaced the armored cavalry armor brought by Zhang Qi and the others, and the [-] elite cavalrymen were still silent warriors.

"Move forward!"

Under the rising sun, Zhang Qihua pointed the dragon holding the halberd straight ahead.

And the Han army had sent back the news long ago.

Wei Qing nodded calmly.

Although the city wall had not been fully repaired, he had already prepared for the Huns to attack in advance, giving priority to building the fortifications in the north.

Scattered refusal horses can block the impact of the Huns cavalry and that cavalry.

The three-story log city wall can give the soldiers who are used to defending the city a place to rely on.

There are many arrow towers, and the height determines the range.

After putting on his armor, Wei Qing walked out of the big tent.

Looking at the generals who had already put on armor, Wei Qing looked at Gongsun He,

"Uncle Zi, our troops will be the main force in this battle, defending against the enemy with an army formation, and your troops will use all their chariots and horses to go around from the west, and when the battle is in full swing, go straight to the enemy general!"

"promise!"

"."

"promise!"

"."

"promise!"

A series of pre-war orders were issued.

The huge Han army began to operate.

Light chariot soldiers and cavalry were led out by Gongsun He to circle around Zhang Qi's rear, or waist and abdomen from the west.

And a large number of Han troops holding shields and spears formed in front of the log city wall.

The crossbowmen mounted the walls.

A frame of rhubarb crossbows has already been erected.

The city wall is newly built and made of wood. You can't say that it has no defensive power, but it is destined to not be too much. Its role lies in the location and a stable support for countless soldiers.

But the key to the battle is still people.

woo-

woohoo-

woohoo-

Trumpets on both sides are sounding.

There was a burst of drumming.

After the sun leaps from the mountain line.

The two armies are less than three miles away.

Log walls.

Wei Qing looked towards Zhang Qi.

On the battle horse, Zhang Qi also looked at Wei Qing.

The general only needs to die in a hundred battles, so why return the body shrouded in horse leather!
"Stop!"

Zhang Qihua raised his halberd while holding the dragon.

The tens of thousands of troops stopped quietly.

Only the warriors of the Xiutu Department at the end still made some noise.

Zhang Qi scanned the army village in front of him.

On the high ground, there is only one attackable road ahead.

But at this moment, on the flat grassland, there were countless refusal horses scattered all over, and it was no longer a matter of thinking about charging with cavalry.

Zhang Qi flicked the halberd lightly.

"Dismount the Liaodong army! Form the formation! The siege equipment will follow!"

The 7000 Liaodong Army dismounted one after another and formed a dense army formation.

The Liaodong Army was originally the infantry trained by Zhang Qi to be used as the middle-class infantry. They were used to attack the Huns before, but only through the role of saddles and stirrups.

Although it is not bad to use, what the Liaodong Army is best at is still infantry combat.

With spearmen and shields in front and single-handed swordsmen in the back, the Liaodong Army walked slowly towards the Han army's stronghold under the urging of drums.

Of course, they are not going to kill the enemy, but to clean up the Juma.

Squeaky.

Thirty siege machines followed slowly behind the Liaodong Army.

The soldiers holding the equipment also moved forward holding their shields.

The ammunition was dragged by horses, and [-] sets of equipment were equipped with about a thousand ordinary prairie horses.

Zhang Qi was ready to use the equipment directly to the point of damage.

"General, how to deal with it?"

On the city wall, a general asked.

"Is there enough rhubarb crossbow arrows?"

"Plenty! A hundred rhubarb crossbows can use [-] bolts!"

"Then shoot one round first! Let the soldiers find out how they feel!"

"promise!"

The general pulled out two small flags from his waist, ran to the side and rear, and waved them at the soldiers wielding the big yellow crossbow.

"The yellow crossbow is ready—!"

There was a creaking sound of twisted strings.

"Target enemy formation! Release!"
