51. We have become the beggar army two thousand years later
Today's weather is crisp and clear in autumn, but the wind blowing from the northwest is not only dry but also carries some light sand. This is not good news for the Bingzhou Army, whose main force is concentrated in the east of Chang'an and has to attack from east to west.
, but it is not an intolerable condition. At least it cannot be the straw that breaks the camel's back until some decisive event occurs.
Of course, at this time, you will definitely envy the group of inhumans on the opposite side, not because they do not need to suffer such troubles from west to east, but because even if they suffer such troubles, they will not care at all. After all, they are a group of people.
A clay puppet.
But if you think about it again, you don’t need to be too envious, jealous, or hateful towards those guys. After all, although this world is unfair everywhere, it also has a certain degree of “fairness.” For example, although those clay dolls have extremely strong defense,
It is sturdy and durable, but compared with ordinary humans, it also loses a lot of fun, such as the fun of enjoying delicious food.
Another example is enjoying the pleasure of beautiful women.
So when you envy others, others may also envy you, just like you who are looking at the scenery may also be the scenery in other people's eyes.
Just thinking about this, Li Shushi couldn't help but make a frustrated orz bend forward. After all, it was not easy to be the scenery in other people's eyes in his previous life, especially for someone like him who is neither handsome, handsome nor shockingly ugly.
Ordinary people, except for asking others to scrap some film and memory, it seems difficult to enter other people's scenery.
Today, the Bingzhou Army once again launched an offensive against the enemy.
Such battles have occurred every day in the recent period. The Bingzhou Army launches an attack from the enemy forces in the outer encirclement. The basic process is roughly as follows: At the beginning, the two sides will be in a stalemate for a period of time. During this period, the Bingzhou Army will have
The destination uses various means to test. If the Bingzhou Army feels that the opportunity is good, it will launch a further attack. Then both sides will decide after paying a certain amount of battle losses whether to disengage with a tacit understanding or to conduct an appropriate pursuit.
And if the results of the test are not satisfactory to the Bingzhou Army, the Bingzhou Army will retreat and lure the enemy to pursue. The enemy will usually satisfy the Bingzhou Army's ideas, but will stop after pursuing for a certain distance and let the Bingzhou Army
It was difficult to gain any advantage, and then the two sides stared at each other for a while, then completely broke off contact and went back to their respective campsites.
As for the enemy, they will also launch an attack from their own encirclement to the encircled Chang'an City. As for the enemy's attack method, at least during this period, it is relatively monotonous: shooting arrows and raining arrows all over the sky, just like adding special effects.
Then, after consuming an unknown amount of ammunition, which would definitely make the Law of Conservation of Mass weep in the toilet, we continued to fill in the moat under the extended rain of arrows.
At the same time, the soldiers at the top of the city who had gradually learned how to avoid the rain of arrows picked up their weapons to fight back. Among them, the most outstanding performers were the trebuchets and crossbows - these city defenders were protected
Appliances except for the very beginning
The damage was relatively serious at that time, but the damage rate was greatly reduced under strict protection. After all, whether it was those huge rocks or thick arrows, they could cause extremely huge damage to enemy soldiers. In addition to the problem of the rate of fire.
It is known as a weapon for defending the city.
At least it is much better than pouring hot oil or golden juice, which have been proven to be completely useless against these inhumans.
Both sides made mistakes and found problems in the competition again and again. Then they tried to find ways to make up for it. If this was a game, maybe the two parties controlling the game would like this kind of teaching and learning situation very much, but this is bloody.
In the real world, all growth depends entirely on people
Every time a person learns some survival skills in exchange for his life, it must mean that at least five people around him have fallen. Even the non-humans outside the city have not been able to effectively supplement the soldiers.
Unwilling to commit troops to a completely meaningless war of attrition.
So you can understand why from the beginning of the war to the present, the enemy has been using bows and arrows for deterrence shooting most of the time. And recently they have added operations to fill the moat. It seems that if it is not more than 90% sure, the enemy will
We will never invest our troops in an action like climbing a city, which is completely building a "ladder to heaven" with our lives.
But this also shows that if the enemy starts to attack the city, then it definitely means that the enemy has made all preparations, has adapted well to the world of the living, and is ready to launch the final attack without any scruples.
.
It was precisely because he felt this from the enemy's increasingly intense siege battles in the past few days that Li Shushi began to feel a little impatient, or that he was still calm until now.
, there are really only a few people.
Naturally, this definitely includes Su Xiaololi, who always shows a lack of interest in many things.
Although the opening of today is still the usual confrontation between the two sides, even if the flags issued by the Bingzhou Army have changed, for the enemy, this is not the first time that such a situation has occurred, and such flag changes cannot be used against them.
Causes no real damage at all.
It can only be said that after many days of confrontation, the enemy troops who have basically figured out the habits of the Bingzhou Army are still a little bit lax. After all, although the performance of the Bingzhou Army is not bad, it can still only stop here.
In the case where mistakes were made first (such as wading across the river by oneself), the Bingzhou Army's frontal attack had proven difficult to penetrate their outer defense line.
Of course, Xiaoqiang's initial move did shock the enemy, but after the shock, it did not increase the enemy's security level much. For the enemy who is used to fighting in large groups, even a few hundred people
No matter how fierce the team is, the effect it can have is limited, just like how huge a boulder thrown into the sea can cause limited ripples.
Unless you are throwing an asteroid with a diameter of tens of kilometers.
However, today's Bingzhou Army's attack has a completely different rhythm than previous attacks.
Because, Li Shushi brought his personal guards to the forefront of the battlefield for the first time!
Logically speaking, this is really nothing to write home about. Even if Li Shushi's personal guards are strong enough, let alone how effective they can be on a front of hundreds of thousands of people, just in such a local area.
On the battlefield, was Li Shushi really willing to break his bodyguards in such a place as long knives used to cut through thorns?
Perhaps the troops here are not as powerful as the troops that besieged Chang'an, but they are also thick-skinned and extremely troublesome. Even Li Shushi's personal guards dare not say that they can be unharmed in front of this army.
Even the guarantee of paying a very small price is also not dared to be made.
As I said just now, since Xiaoqiang almost played the trick of taking the general's head from the tens of thousands of troops, even if the enemies despise this method strategically, they will definitely treat it as a key point of protection tactically.
After all, the enemy's officers and soldiers are just like carrots and pits, and they can't be resurrected just like dead people.
Li Shushi didn't know if those puppets had any desires or obsessions, but generals always thought more than simple-minded soldiers - at least as commanders, their lives were always more important than ordinary soldiers.
There are probably a lot of them.
As for Li Shushi's other method that can often change the battlefield, the unlimited debuff submachine gun, since facing a group of inhumans who crawled out of who knows which pit, not only has it lost its previous prestige, but it will also become an enemy if you are not careful.
"Sharp weapon". Give greater "help" to the already large Bingzhou Army.
If you look at it this way, it is indeed not necessary for Li Shushi to appear here. It may even become a burden. However, I don't know if he was "inspired" by the defenders of Chang'an City, but Li Shushi had a look on his face.
Full of confidence.
It's like treating the enemy on the opposite side as a chicken or a dog.
But speaking of certification, it seems that the enemies on the opposite side are indeed a group of soil... soil puppets.
"It seems that the enemy still has no intention of attacking. It's up to you to tell the truth. Give them a 'surprise'~"
With a slightly frivolous tone, Xiaoqiang's face was full of mischievous expressions. It is said that such a situation is really rare. After all, Xiaoqiang may be affected by some inexplicable factors in daily life and have various funny behaviors.
, but only for battle, he
He almost always has a more serious expression on his face. In his own words, he did this because he once had "a lesson that almost cost him his life." But today's performance seemed to be more funny than usual.
Sometimes it feels like it’s even three points cheaper.
By the way, Xiaoqiang's so-called "serious" expression on the battlefield must include the word "arrogant". Although with Xiaoqiang's ability, there is no problem in showing such an expression in most situations.
Of course, when faced with the siege by Zilong Jiang, Dian Wei and others, he still dared to show that kind of expression. Naturally, he was taught how to behave.
As for Miss Su Xiaoluoli and Miss Luo He, it seemed that before Xiaoqiang could express his expression, they had already slapped the annoying Xiaoqiang to the ground, or blown him away to the stars in the M78 nebula.
Ahem, let’s get back to the topic.
Although Xiaoqiang's performance is indeed a bit unusual, because of his daily actions, it is inevitable that people have an unreliable feeling that even if he is really trying to kill himself on the battlefield, it is not completely impossible.
.But if even Zilongjiang behaves very calmly and generously on weekdays, he can only be beaten by Li Shushi.
The expression of helplessness or even grievance that would only appear when playing tricks (usually this expression is associated with the idiom "poor and pitiful") now also appears a little too relaxed, just like the Chinese people watching the occupation of Freeport in a leisurely manner.
, then this matter is obviously worth recalling.
Ignoring Xiaoqiang, who had a keen intuition and felt that there was malice coming from nowhere, and suddenly glared at Li Shushi. After all, that kind of guy could only show off his power in front of him when Su Xiaololi was not around. Li Shushi
Squinting his eyes, he quietly looked at the army that he had never seen before.
It was a very ancient army. Many people had reported this to Li Shushi. However, they did not go into too much detail as to how ancient it was. Therefore, Li Shushi could only rely on his own eyes to tell.
Confirm.
If there is one thing about this army that had the biggest impact on Li Shushi, apart from the illusory things like mental outlook or temperament, it was its surprisingly clear distinction between classes and arms within the army.
For example, no matter what kind of armor they wear, ordinary soldiers must only wear a bun on the top of their head. With different types of soldiers, the styles of buns are completely different, but as long as they are not riding horses, they must not have a crown on their head.
Ordinary cavalrymen will have ordinary soft hats on their heads, while low-level officers will wear double-plate long crowns, and for senior generals, they will change into double-tailed crowns.
It's no wonder that the enemy's execution ability is so high. The highly clear class nature does have a very good effect in this aspect.
However, conversely, if the Bingzhou Army wants to snipe enemy officers on the battlefield, it will become much easier. Especially the more senior officers are, the shorter the armor they wear, at least from the front, except for the abdomen
The front of the following areas is covered with very finely crafted scale armor, while the rest of the area is completely covered with fine patterned fabrics that have little practicality.
If the opponent's body is not a clay doll and comes with a self-defense enhancement buff, Li Shushi doubts whether the opponent needs another armor inside. At least for the current Bingzhou Army officers, they will not wear such armor without caring about their lives on the battlefield.
Things. In other words, those beautiful armors should be very suitable for civil servants to wear, at least they are stronger and more durable than leather coats.
But think about it from another angle. According to the "Zhu Kezhen Weather Evolution Chart for Five Thousand Years", which I don't know if it is actually written by him, the average temperature in the pre-Qin period from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period was three to five times higher than that of Li Shushi's era.
Perhaps the armor of this era would have been more effective at that time, not to mention whether the combat effect would have been better. Would the people wearing the armor have suffered from large-scale combat attrition due to heatstroke before they even started fighting?
Although it seems that this is really a joke, to some people it is really not a joke.
Well, Li Shushi said that he was definitely not mocking those countries that install air conditioners and small portable refrigerators in tanks. They can even reduce the amount of ammunition carried to make room for more humane facilities.
After all, this is a humane measure, and these additional accessories will also increase the added value of the product. In addition, people are accustomed to buying one set when purchasing, plus two or three sets of all spare parts, so Eight Stars and Eight Arrows is good
How many buyers can there be in the world?
Ahem, I'm going too far again.
After carefully observing the two armies in front of the formation for a while, Li Shushi returned to the formation with satisfaction.
You really have to observe carefully. After all, although I don’t know where this thing came from, the terracotta warriors and horses in a similar period to them were all worth a thousand gold in the era when Li Shushi lived. I want to observe it carefully.
Not only does it cost a lot of money, but even in the off-season, you still have to contend with large-scale tour groups that may suddenly appear. Not to mention that in the peak tourist season, there is absolutely nothing to see except people.
You can't see anything else.
Just like those at home, it's difficult to calculate for other people, but the price of a dinner in Ying'er is still seven figures.
Ahem, it seems like it has gone further this time, pull it back, pull it back.
After reading it, I knew in my heart that it was time for Li Shushi to start doing serious things, or in other words, his biggest purpose in coming here.
boom!
Don't think too much, this is just a special effect that Li Shushi added to his... trump card when it comes out.
However, this trump card seems to be definitely worthy of the special effects that Li Shushi added to it.
"As expected, I still have to rely on you at times like this, old man, my golden cupping cannon."
In terms of range, even on the plains, the range of the golden cup cannon can still be much higher than that of the crossbow, even the most powerful bed crossbow. In other words, even if Li Shu realizes that it is still only a low-level profession like a light artillery cart,
It can also suppress the enemy's powerful crossbows at range, thus completely changing the original unfavorable situation of being suppressed by the opponent's long-range troops.
Not to mention the unique "special effects" of the golden cupping cannon itself, even a clay puppet would not be able to bear being covered in such hot liquid metal.
After all, clay dolls are not ceramics and are more fire-resistant. And even ordinary ceramic products rarely have a temperature resistance exceeding 1400 degrees, but the melting point of iron has exceeded 1500 degrees, even if the hot liquid metal is not pure iron but an alloy
, the melting point will be greatly reduced, but it can also cause a large amount of continuous damage to the soil doll.
Even those enemies can be considered as powerful versions of earth puppets.
Perhaps from the perspective of the entire front, a mere golden cupping cannon cannot fundamentally change the situation of the battle, but if it just disrupts the rhythm of the arrogant enemies, it is enough.
Moreover, the protagonist today is not Li Shushi and his old buddy.
So let’s radiate our own light here as much as possible. It won’t take long for the limelight to be taken away anyway.
With this thought, under the gaze of the enemy, the golden cupping cannon suddenly appeared and began to show its powerful appearance to people.
It is worth mentioning that this time Li Shushi used ordinary large stone bullets, not giant ones that could only fire one at a time, but each one weighed about ten kilograms, and could be loaded and fired about ten at a time.
Shotgun type.
This obviously does not pursue point-killing, but rather considers the choice of point-killing and area-killing.
However, since Li Shushi started using the golden cupping cannon, it seems that the completely point-to-point boulder-shaped stone bullets have almost never been used.
Forget it, let’s first let the enemies try the power of the golden cupping cannon that almost all enemies of the Bingzhou Army have experienced!
As the whistling sound sounded, more than ten cannonballs like bolides flew into the sky. (To be continued...)
