Chapter 661: You are so poisonous...

When Qin Lei finished patrolling the camp and returned to the central army's tent, it was already the moon on the sky. But he saw Qin Li also in the camp, sitting there in a daze.

Nian Yao, pretending to be a personal soldier, quickly served the hot meal and whispered: "It has been hot several times."

Qin Lei nodded, signaled her to go out first, and asked Qin Li, who had just woken up, and said, "How are the casualties in the army?"

"It's very serious." Qin Li whispered: "It was more than 7,000 yuan in death and injuries."

"So many?" Qin Lei had already touched a bun, but he heard this and held it in his hand and said, "Let the First Army attack the city tomorrow."

"The Fourth Army is not a garbage army that is about to collapse," Qin Liqiang smiled and said, "Let's go when we can't stand it." He said with a low expression, "But this is indeed a hard bone. You have to take it down within seven days. If you bite it hard, I'm afraid I will break my teeth."

"It's not my requirement," Qin Lei smiled bitterly, "It's Zhao Wujiu who set out from the time he got to report to the army and could arrive at Hulao Pass in as soon as seven days. At that time, he really wanted to be a man who was a man who was in the pass, and we had nowhere to cry."

"I understand!" Qin Li stood up and said, "From tomorrow, no matter how much you lose, even if you are made into a bare pole, I will take it down on time for you."

Qin Lei then stood up and said, "No need to do this, you still have to accumulate strength and wait for a fatal blow." He said, patted the steamed buns on his hand and said, "It's better for two soldiers to take turns to go. I have told Shen Qing that it's time for the first army tomorrow."

"Is this an order?" Qin Li glanced at him and said roughly.

"Isn't this an order?" Qin Lei asked with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Qin Li nodded and said, "You are the head coach, of course you have the final say. You can go to bed tomorrow." He looked at the food on the table and said, "Eat quickly. If you keep eating cold food, you will have stomachache when I am old." It seems that he is already very troubled.

Qin Lei smiled and nodded and said, "I understand. Actually, I started to have stomachache a few years ago."

"I am really blessed but I won't enjoy it." Qin Li said angrily: "Take me a little bit, I'll leave." As soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Qin Lei say: "Brother..."

Qin Li turned around and saw Qin Lei say warmly: "Don't get so close to the battlefield in the future, you have no eyes on the sword and gun, no matter whether you are a prince or a soldier."

Qin Li didn't expect him to say this. After a moment of staying up, the corner of his mouth slightly said: "Don't worry, I'm all forty years old, I know at least."

"Reassure me that there will be no second time today." Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "Otherwise, you will be deprived of the power of front-line command."

"Don't." Qin Li jumped into the foot as if he was being stepped on with a cat with his tail, "I promised you, can't you?"

The next day, the siege was indeed replaced by Shen Qing's troops. The combat style of the First Army was significantly different from that of the Fourth Army. They paid more attention to team cooperation, and their individual combat capabilities were strong enough, and the weapons and equipment they used were also more sophisticated. When the vanguard troops siege the city, the subsequent troops would throw explosive incendiary bombs like the top of the city, causing great trouble to the defense of the Qi army.

Of course, they also have a disadvantage, that is, they are not as desperate as the Fourth Army. Although they are very brave in combat, the pressure on the Qi army seems to be not as great as the Fourth Army. Thanks to the endless array of firearms, they did not lose the momentum. Although they did not make any progress in the day, they killed at least 5,000 defenders at the cost of only damaging more than 2,000 people. I wonder if it should be a miracle or a kind of irony.

But when Shen Qing came down from the front line and saw the prince's slight face, he knew that Qin Lei was very dissatisfied.

"The troops are so scattered, and their subordinates are not strict in discipline on weekdays." Shen Qing quickly knelt down and apologized: "When he returns to his post, he will definitely punish them heavily."

"Bad punish!" Qin Lei sneered: "Will those veterans be afraid of oil?"

"Then you'll be afraid." Shen Qing said with shame.

"Forget it, I'm too idealistic." Qin Lei glanced at the dilapidated Hulao Pass City in the dusk and sighed: "The elite army must not only be elite, but also be sharp!" He formed the first army with three imperial guards with rich combat experience. He originally wanted to use the elite military policy to form a direct ace, but he was worried that the generals under his command who had outstanding abilities but complex backgrounds would privately turn the army, so he chose Shen Qing, who was loyal but had a little experience, to command.

This method seems reliable on weekdays, but when it comes to such hard battles, it appears... they are all veterans who have been fighting for the rest of their lives. With rich combat experience, they also know how to protect their lives. At this time, there is no so-called trump card that can suppress the situation and is determined to avoid casualties. They seem to be at ease but not enterprising.

But prestige is earned by oneself, not given by others. Qin Lei was able to help Shen Qing as the commander, but he could not make the officers and soldiers truly convince him... On the contrary, because of Shen Qing's youth, some division commanders and commanders would neglect him.

"I'll take the attack the day after tomorrow." Qin Lei sighed.

Shen Qing's face twitched a few times, and he kowtowed heavily and said, "Please give me another chance. If you can't take down Hulao Pass City, my subordinates are willing to apologize for death!"

"Don't be too full of words." Qin Lei said lightly: "Just just let Gu see the changes, go down and rest!"

Shen Qing saluted again and stepped back with heavy steps.

The next day, it was the boss's turn to attack the city. The Fourth Army, which had sufficient rest, once again showed the friendly forces what it means to be like a rainbow and what it means to be as bloodthirsty as life. The crazy attack continued from the morning until the sun set. During this period, it attacked the city several times, but was repelled by the Qi army who had vowed to resist to the death. The blood of both sides flowed down the city wall, and even dyed the moat dark red.

By the time the troops were withdrawn, more than 8,000 people were killed or injured in the Fourth Army... The good news is that after two days of actual combat, the Qin artillery troops found an effective set of auxiliary tactics. After communicating with the siege troops, they used continuous and dense artillery fire to attack the five equal-distance city walls, and divided the Qi army's positions into several parts that could not support each other, making the Qi army unable to create local advantages and greatly reducing the pressure on the siege troops.

Due to the direct intervention of artillery, the casualties of the Qi army on the third day increased sharply, with more than 10,000 people, which was almost the sum of the previous two days.

This made Qin Li's face not look so ugly when he was heartbroken. Since ancient times, the damage of the siege party was much higher than that of the defender party. Now that he can reverse the losses, he really has nothing to complain about.

Seeing his face gloomy and gloomy, Qin Lei whispered: "I have recruited one million retired soldiers to re-enter the army, and I will give you all the first 100,000 people to take office."

Qin Li was immediately happy and smiled embarrassedly, "How can you be so embarrassed?" You should know that the current armed forces of Qin are divided into three categories according to the nature of soldiers, volunteer soldiers who are engaged in military service; conscripts who have served in the military for five years; and the largest number of reserves.

There are also two types of reserves. Some are demobilized soldiers who have served the military and returned home, and some are reserves who have never joined the army and have only received armed training in the local area. It goes without saying which is better or worse.

With Qin Lei's expectations for the war, the command headquarters only issued a second-level recruitment order to the whole country, which is to order veterans who had received formal training to re-enlist.

After the war began on the fourth day, Shen Qing actually came to the front line with a big knife. Seeing that the army commander had gone up, the division commanders dared not be negligent, so he had to follow him, and his subordinates who were supervising their claws to attack desperately to avenge their previous shame!

Perhaps it was Shen Qing's lead and perhaps it was the contemptuous gaze of the rookies of the Fourth Army who deeply stimulated them. The veterans of the First Army burst out with unprecedented fighting spirit, transforming their own experience and skills into combat power to the greatest extent.

After three days of wheel war, the defenders were exhausted. All the troops had joined the rotation, all the troops suffered heavy losses, and some troops were even destroyed by the establishment. If it weren't for the fact that this was Hulao Pass, I believe the Qi army would have been defeated...

As combat power grew and grew, the Qin army had the upper hand for the first time since the war started. After attacking the city wall several times, at noon, they finally controlled a few feet long and waved to them again.

Shen Qing had already shouted hoarsely, suppressing his violent heartbeat, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Go up and stabilize the position!" Qin Xu, who had been promoted to commander, responded in a deep voice and wanted to lead the reserve team to set off in person.

But countless huge stones flew out of the city and rumbled on the city wall about ten feet including that position, and shot all the sides fighting on the city into meat sauce...

The shouts of killing on the battlefield were obviously lowered, and the officers and soldiers on both sides looked at the city wall in disbelief. You must know that the Qi soldiers above were several times that of the Qin army...

Chen Liefeng had red eyes, panting heavily, and looked at the battlefield without saying a word, as if the thousands of soldiers were not what he ordered to kill.

After more than ten days, the Qin army's catapult cart and red-clothed cannon roared violently, razing the projection position exposed by the Qi army to the ground... This has been the eighth Qi army projection position that the Qin army knocked out in the past four days, and it was actually the last of the Qi army.

Affected by Chen Liefeng's cold blow, the war gradually turned dull. Seeing that it was almost noon, Qin Lei ordered the Jin to withdraw his troops, wait for his full meal and drink, and then fight for another 300 rounds.

Just after lunch, Shen Qing was called to the central army by the black guards, and saw Prince Yong also there.

The two nodded slightly and looked at Qin Lei together. He saw his solemn expression and staring at the black tiger flag with his eyes straight at the black tiger flag. The two also looked at the slightly twitching corner of the flag. It took a long time to hear the prince say, "The breeze is west, and I finally waited."

The two looked at each other, wondering what the prince meant.

"Shi Gan, order the Rangers to join Shen Qing's forward." Qin Lei ordered softly.

"Yes!" Shi Gan took the order and left.

Qin Lei then calmed down his gaze and looked at the two commanders with bright eyes and said, "The two are united, Shen Qing is in front, and the elder brother is behind. Shen Qing first cooperates with the ranger to launch an attack. After the enemy on the city wall loses its combat effectiveness, he will launch an attack together without any hesitation, and make a final decision!"

"Yes!" the two responded in unison.

"Go." Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "Gu Wen is good at celebrating the wine, waiting for the good news of you." After that, he closed his eyes, sat quietly like a god, and stopped talking... He was now more and more pretentious now.

Qin Li was full of questions, but seeing Qin Lei's behavior, he had to retreat in a bad mood, waited far away and grabbed Shen Qing and said, "What medicine does your prince sell in the gourd?"

Shen Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if I don't know, maybe it's a secret weapon."

"What secret weapon?"

"I'll know later." Shen Qing got rid of Prince Yong's entanglement without any trace and bowed: "I will gather the team and take the leave first."

"Ball, I've never seen such a cautious guy." Qin Li cursed, turned around helplessly, and went to the whole team to not mention it.

Not only was he curious, but Shen Qing also felt itchy. When he returned to the front, he saw a team full of black armor and was already on standby.

Seeing that they were carrying a brass tube as thick as an arm on their backs, Shen Qing said in his heart: "It seems that the secret is in this tube." Then he smiled at the Ranger Captain with a black face and said: "What is this?"

The Ranger Captain did not hide it from him and whispered: "Report to the Lord, launcher."

"I know it's a transmitter, launching or something." Shen Qing rolled his eyes and said.

"Sir, it's a poisonous dragon bomb."

Hearing this answer, Shen Qing couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He was not unfamiliar with the poisonous dragon bomb. When he was a guard of the royal palace, the prince equipped them with equipment. As long as he threw this thing on the ground, the several ingredients inside would react quickly, emit heavy smoke, which made people cough and cry, and was at a loss for a moment. It was used several times to calm the riots. It should be said that the effect was still good.

However, in siege, the method of using thick smoke to smoke the enemy is not new. A well-defended city like Hulao Pass must have been equipped with clean water towels, which will greatly reduce this method. However, it is a good wind and the wind is very small. It is the best time to use this poisonous dragon bullet. It will probably have some auxiliary effects, but it is impossible to make a final decision, right?

Seeing his disappointed expression on his face, the captain was angry and said in a stressful tone: "Sir, don't underestimate this poisonous dragon bullet, it is not an ordinary poisonous dragon bullet."

"Oh, what is that?" Shen Qing was raised again.

"This is very different from what you used back then." The captain said excitedly: "It is a super invincible enhanced version of the poison dragon bullet, and its effect is far from comparable to those antique goods!"

Seeing that he was so serious, Shen Qing then put away his contempt and said seriously: "I'd like to ask my brother to explain it to me."

"As for order!" the captain raised his chest as if he was demonstratively erected: "The poisonous dragon bullets in the past mainly used smoke to block the enemy's sight. Although it was quite irritating to the mouth and nose, as long as you cover the mouth and nose with a wet cloth, you will not cause any damage."

"Since the prince ordered improvement, we have spent seven years testing more than 9,000 materials. Finally, we used 27 poisonous drugs mixed with 27 poisonous substances such as sulfur, grass bird head, flame salt, croton, wolf poison, tung oil to configure this new type of poisonous dragon bomb. Once detonated, the smoke produced can cause people to be blind for more than three hours! As long as a small amount is inhaled, it can cause people to feel nauseous and vomit. In severe cases, shock and coma will be lost completely." When talking about the proud, the captain's hands were dancing involuntarily, probably dancing.

"Can our gas mask resist?" Seeing that the artillery team had already begun to prepare for fire, Shen Qing asked concisely.

"Our new mask can be completely blocked!" Captain Shun Zhu said with his chest: "Just look!"

When the purgatory-like shelling ended, the black-faced Qi soldiers emerged from all corners and soon stood all over the city walls. Although the Qin army's artillery fire was still fierce, they already knew how to hide.

Looking silently at the enemy troops rushing up like a tide under the city, the soldiers didn't feel any nervous... Is this the 40th or the 41st? They are already used to it.

When the Qin army rushed to a seven or eight feet below the city, according to the practice, the guardian side of the city hit people with stones... Under the continuous high-intensity attack of the Qin army, the Qi army's defending equipment was extremely damaged. The crossbows and those who threw the car were either smashed into pieces or destroyed while using it. So the most powerful thing is the stones on the city wall.

However, although the method is a little dirt, it can still kill a piece of it.

As the dense arrows and stones of both sides shot each other, the Qin army's ladder truck once again leaned up... Although more than 300 ladder trucks were destroyed in total, the Qin army easily pushed out more than 100 brand new seats, and the gap in strength between the two sides was undoubtedly revealed in the details.

When Qin soldiers began to climb the cloud ladder to attack the city, the Qin army under the city suddenly raised hundreds of brass tubes and shot out large black balls onto the city with a "pupp puff puff puff puff".

Each of the balls was the size of a melon. As soon as they fell to the top of the city, they broke into pieces with a "puff". The Qi army officers and soldiers were stunned. Suddenly, white smoke rose everywhere on the top of the city, and a pungent smell spread!

Chen Liefeng, who was watching the battle in the distance, saw a cloud of smoke quickly formed above the city. He jumped up and shouted: "Hurry! Wet wipes! Clean water!"

Needless to say, the officers and soldiers who grew up quickly in the war also knew what to do. They hurriedly walked over, took out a towel from the copper jar filled with clear water and covered it on their mouths.

Pure white smoke surged over the city walls, filled with disgusting smell everywhere. As it turned out, the local method was very effective. After covering his mouth with a wet towel, his breathing became smooth.
To be continued...
