Seeing his machine bird retreating steadily in front of the Zhao army, Gong Shuqiu was so angry that the bronze machine hand on his left arm made a clanging sound.
"Mo Family~ Hateful! The mechanism bird plus the mechanism repeating crossbow, such a simple trick, I actually..."
Seeing his bloodshot old face, Ying Jue was afraid that this man would make him angry, so he comforted him: "Sir's overbearing machine skills are more adept at one-time lethality. Cooperating with our Qin army's group attack, we can Destroy the enemy in a short period of time. However, in an aerial battlefield, the powerful crossbow machine is not as powerful as the suppressive power of a repeating crossbow."
How could Gong Shuqiu be willing to be compared to the Mohist family? Looking up at the Mohist machine birds in the sky, it would be easy for him to see through the crossbow mechanism and recreate it.
"It fires thirty arrows in a row and can be reloaded quickly. I will definitely make a weapon that can rival the Mo family's repeating crossbow in the shortest possible time."
Wang Jian had no time to deal with the enemy at the moment, and had to admit that he lost to Pang Nuan in this confrontation. "The soldiers retreated with gold, the shield soldiers protected the air, the longbowmen shot the opponent's trap birds, the army withdrew to the camp, and the giant crossbows were prepared in the rear."
Pang Nuan saw the Qin army retreating and knew that Wang Jian had no way to defeat the air force at this time, so he was determined to expand the victory, but the opponent's strict defense during the retreat made him give up this idea.
"The Qin Army can't deal with my air troops here, but if they want to attack the camp, the Qin Army's crossbows are enough to wipe out all the air troops... How should I break the camp..."
After this battle, the morale of the Zhao army soared. Originally, when they attacked Jicheng, their communication with the country was cut off by the Qin army. They had no way forward or retreat, and the supply of food and grass was cut off. It was almost a desperate situation. Pang Nuan Lecheng He made a desperate move to capture Jicheng, obtained life-saving military supplies, and then turned around and severely attacked the Qin army for a while, as if Zhao was getting out of the precarious situation.
Qin Army Camp
Gongshuqiu apologized to Wang Jian with a gloomy and thin old face, "General, I never thought of the combination of the machine-gun repeater and the machine-bird, which led to this defeat of our army. Within ten days, I guarantee the mass production of a sufficient number of repeater crossbows." Our army will definitely win this situation back."
After all, he is the patriarch of the government family who has a deadly feud with the Mo family, and is obsessed with winning or losing with the Mo family.
Wang Jian sighed inwardly, but he didn't mean to look down on it. He also understood the centuries-old hatred between Gongshu and the Mohist family. It can only be said that as a general, his and Gongshu's thoughts of hatred were completely different.
"Mr. Gongshu, I don't want you to be able to equip our army with crossbows in ten days, but to delay it until thirty days."
Gongshuqiu suspected that he heard wrongly, "What? General, my ears are not broken, right?"
Wang Jian once again emphasized, "Every time a repeating crossbow is updated, it is used in the battle with the Zhao army so that the Mohist disciples on the other side can see it clearly. It will not be until at least the 30th day that they can come up with a repeating crossbow that can compete with the Mohist family. This is Your military orders."
"This...since the general needs it, I will follow this step."
After Wang Jian finished speaking to Gong Shuqiu, he waved his hand and said, "Come, please invite General Ying Jue."
After a while, Ying Jue came to the Chinese army's tent and said, "General, you are looking for me."
"You all get out, no one can come closer than twenty steps to this tent."
"promise."
After ordering all the guards in the tent to leave, Wang Jian said to the commander of the forbidden army: "Ying Jue, the whole army will only tell you about the plan to destroy Pang Nuan. You are not allowed to reveal anything about the others, so as not to expose any flaws."
"A plan to completely wipe out Pang Nuan?" Ying Jue was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "General, what exactly is..."
"Although Pang Nuan won today, the situation of Zhao Jun has not changed. Since the return route was cut off by me, he was able to force himself to go to Jicheng to collect food, grass and equipment to maintain the morale of the army. This has amazed me.
However, even with the military supplies stolen from Jicheng, the Zhao army cannot last long. I have asked Gong Shuqiu to gradually equip himself with a machine-made crossbow, and continue to increase his power in the battle with Pang Nuan's air force."
Occupying a huge advantage, he did not fight recklessly but continued to pressure his opponent. Ying Jue seemed to understand a little and murmured: "Are you trying to force Pang Nuan?"
"Yes, Pang Nuan's goal has always been Handan. I have shown my stubbornness and have continuously improved my machine gun. If he cannot seize the opportunity to capture my camp, he will eventually be killed here alive by me.
There are many large camps with heavy supplies of food and grass in this village, which is the burial place I prepared for Pang Nuan."
"General, you want to use the Hundred Wars God's Crossbow..."
"The Secret Guards have special rights. The Hundred Wars God's Crossbow is guarded by the Forbidden Army. The task of deploying the God's Crossbow is left to you."
The key task of destroying the main force of Zhao's army will be completed by his imperial army. This can be said to be a huge feat before Ying Jue's eyes.
He cupped his fists towards Wang Jian and firmly issued the military order, "Ying Jue will definitely live up to his heavy responsibility, and the Qin Dynasty will be victorious."
Next, for more than ten days in a row, the battles between the Qin Army and the Zhao Army ended in minor defeats. The advantage of the Zhao Army's air force visibly shrank over time.
Pang Nuan had studied the defense of the ferocious headquarters camp countless times after the Qin army retreated, but still could not come up with a strategy to break through.
"The Qin army's continuous crossbows are becoming more and more complete, and Wang Jian's baggage is countless. If it continues to be delayed, my chances of winning will be lower." He couldn't help but cursed, "Is this Wang Jian a tortoise? How can he fight so steadily!"
"General." A voice came from outside the camp.
Pang Nuan recognized that this was the quartermaster of the camp, "Come in, what are you doing?"
The quartermaster took the recorded situation of the army's consumption of supplies and said worriedly: "The consumption of crossbow arrows in this half month is enough to equal the previous three months. If we continue to fight like this, our army's military supplies... "
"I understand, leave the report and go ahead."
"Yes, General. I'm resigning."
Pang Nuan rubbed his temples with one hand and spread out the memorial with the other. After reading it, he nailed it to the chopping board with his fist, "Wisely will eat the enemy. If you eat the enemy for one hour, you will be my twenty bells; if you eat the stalk for one stone, When Wang Jian blocked my return with twenty stones, I had neither supplies nor food, so I had to resort to danger."
"Come here, tell the generals to discuss matters in the big tent."
"promise."
It was night, and Pang Nuan still used the old-fashioned strategy of sneak attack by a small group of troops at night, but the entire army was also ready to go, including dozens of white tigers and air troops.
"The survival of Zhao depends on tonight's battle. Father, please protect Pang Nuan with your spirit in heaven."
Pang Nuan, who is now ninety years old, once discussed war with King Wuling of Zhao and explained the meaning of "Winning a hundred battles is not a good person, but winning without fighting is a good person". At the final moment of giving it a try, He recalled the scene when he was young and the wise and talented King Zhao Wuling gave guidance to the country.
After praying with cloudy eyes, he pressed his sword and looked at the Qin army's camp at the end of his gaze. His eyes condensed and said, "If we win this battle, we will help the Zhao Kingdom and save the building from falling. When we are successful and famous, we will worship the general and make him a marquis. This battle If he fails, he can only meet his relatives in Zhao State on the Huangquan Road.
The machine birds took off, and the light cavalry rushed to attack and shoot. As usual, the main purpose was to harass. At the beginning of the Chou period, they stormed the Qin army's camp."
