"Let go!" Following Shen Bing's command, another round of stone bullets flew out.
Immediately there was another scream and wail outside the Great Wall.
The Zhao army used a dense formation to attack the gap. It is not an exaggeration to say that people were crowded.
Therefore, there is no stone bullet that cannot be missed, and one stone bullet can even hit several.
Especially if there are two stone bullets colliding in the air, it will be more beautiful, and the broken stones will fly down like a goddess scattering flowers.
Even though Zhao Jun was an elite member of the army, he was beaten to the point of howling like ghosts and wolves.
Of course, the trebuchets killed the Zhao army outside the city.
This is determined by the accuracy of the trebuchet.
Although the new trebuchet is Shen Bing's latest improved one-piece trebuchet, its accuracy is even higher.
But a trebuchet is a trebuchet after all, and its accuracy cannot be as accurate as modern artillery and rifles.
This also means that its killing target is not at the boundary between the enemy and ourselves.
The distance between the enemy and friendly forces at the boundary is too close, and the trebuchet cannot guarantee that it will not cause accidental damage.
So we can only set the landing point on the other side of the city wall.
As a result, there is almost no chance of accidental injury, unless a few Qin troops are brave enough to fight back and get out of the city wall.
At the same time, it can also achieve the effect of fire blockade.
Because it is equivalent to cutting off Zhao Jun’s subsequent reinforcements...
It may not be possible to cut off the water with a knife, but it can be a matter of minutes to break up the dense crowd of Zhao Jun with stone bullets.
As a result, Yang Ting and the Qin army only felt the pressure lighten, and the Zhao army in front of them immediately became much smaller.
The morale of the Qin army was greatly shaken. They shouted loudly and joined forces to attack the Zhao army.
The Zhao army that broke into the gap originally thought that the victory was certain and their morale was high.
Unexpectedly, any subsequent reinforcements would be blocked by stone bullets outside the city wall due to unexpected changes.
There were only a few dozen of them left on this side of the city wall, but they had to face hundreds of Qin troops.
At this time, they didn't dare to be too bold. They planned to retreat along the original road after giving the order.
But who knew that it would not be easy to retreat back the same way, because stone bullets fell from the sky and rained down at the narrow exit.
To retreat is to die.
To advance is to die.
They can only survive if they surrender.
However, the Northern soldiers were worthy of being Northern soldiers. They looked back, shouted and rushed into the Qin army like a tide...
This is actually a habit of the Northern soldiers.
They mostly fought against the Huns in the north, and there was basically no room for surrender when fighting against the Huns.
First of all, it was because the Xiongnu were foreigners, and they committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting.
The soldiers in the Central Plains all hated the Xiongnu so much that they would rather commit suicide than live in poverty.
Secondly, the Huns usually do not treat Central Plains prisoners well.
Even if the soldiers from the Central Plains surrendered, most of them would suffer humiliation before being killed. It would be better to simply die.
This habit was also brought to the Central Plains Civil War.
In fact, they don't have to do this. There were too many cases of Qin, Mu, and Chu during the Warring States Period. It was normal for them to surrender to each other.
Of course, the Qin army will not be lenient because of this.
After a flash of swords and swords, the dozens of Zhao soldiers were all chopped to the ground, and the next second their heads were cut off, which was attributed to the Qin army.
Then, after the victory, the Qin army burst into cheers.
At this time, some people even risked being hit by stone bullets and rushed out of the city to snatch their heads...
From this aspect, the Qin army is more like bandits fighting for title and profit.
Zhao Jun is a righteous soldier who fights to protect his family and country.
However, survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle are the laws of this era. The so-called justice can only hide in the corner and tremble.
Yang Ting, who was covered in blood, turned back to look at Shen Bing, her eyes filled with happiness, gratitude and surprise.
Fortunately, because of the narrow escape, this battle was not defeated by the Zhao army but was a small victory.
I am grateful because I was saved my life by this "medical practitioner".
The surprise is because this humble soldier can always surprise Yang Ting.
But Yang Ting didn't take him seriously before, and she even almost killed him.
LiuXu rushed forward in three steps and asked anxiously:
"Miss, are you okay?"
"You're hurt..."
Only then did Yang Ting wake up, and then immediately withdrew her gaze and put on an angry face:
"It's okay, it's just a skin injury."
"The stone bullet was fired by Shen Bing?"
"Isn't he afraid of hurting our captain?"
In fact, Yang Ting wanted to confirm whether this was Shen Bing's doing.
At the same time, I also want to know why the trebuchet has such an accurate head and can still be effective in close combat.
Women are often like this and don't mean what they say.
Liu Xu quickly explained to Shen Bing:
"Captain, forgive me!"
"The stone bullet was fired by Shen Bing."
"He calculated it carefully, including the trajectory, impact point, coverage, etc."
"Although the villain doesn't understand, it seems to have worked to repel Zhao Jun!"
"Captain, don't blame him."
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Yang Ting's mouth, but she still said "hum":
"I'll settle the score with him later!"
The artillerymen and craftsmen here have already lifted Shen Bing up and cheered.
You must know that before this, the gunnery operator was a completely "thankless" job.
The credit is not counted, but the suffering and dangers of the battlefield are not spared.
In addition, he also suffered from the cold eyes of other soldiers.
In this era, the craftsman status itself was highly discriminated against, and on the battlefield, they were considered to be slave laborers after the military.
The so-called "gongli" roughly means low-status coolies.
For example, people who owed money and were unable to repay their debts or who committed crimes and were sent to the army to do hard labor were called Gong Lichen or Gong Guicao.
The identity and status of craftsmen are only a little higher than them, so they are naturally looked down upon by soldiers who go to the battlefield with real swords and guns.
But now, the gunner has avenged his past humiliation.
Although they still didn't get a few heads... Zhao Jun, who was killed by stone bullets, had already had all his heads snatched away by the soldiers at the front.
But any sensible person knows that if there were no artillerymen in this battle, the entire army would most likely be annihilated.
This kind of psychological pride and self-confidence cannot be replaced by enemy leadership and title.
It was fought on the battlefield.
From then on, the soldiers of the Qin Army would no longer look at the artillerymen with their eyes in the sky.
When gunners and operators encounter soldiers, they don't need to be careful to avoid them.
Food supplies will no longer be in short supply because they are not on the battlefield.
Cang looked at Shen Bing with a smirk on his face: "Follow senior brother and you will have meat to eat."
Fatty Tun looked at Shen Bing with admiration: Follow Mr. Gongcheng, you have a bright future!
Xunze looked at Shen Bing indifferently: Damn it, I'm used to it!
Of course, there are also unhappy people.
Chen Wei was one. He suddenly felt a crisis. He, the stingy man, seemed to have been sidelined.
Of course, there is also Xuchang outside the city.
Unwilling to accept defeat after losing his troops, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth with a cold face: "Attack again!"
Wang Bai said "Promise" with a face full of shame, hesitated for a moment and then added:
"But sir, the Qin army's stone bullets..."
Xuchang interrupted Wang Bai:
"The Qin army has stone bullets, but our army doesn't have stone bullets?"
