Chapter 712 Confrontation, first confrontation
Chapter 712 Confrontation, first confrontation
An unexpected accident for Qian Hanrong really frightened him, so he fled backwards in embarrassment under the protection of his personal guards.
"What was that just now?"
Halfway through, Qian Hanrong came back to his senses and broke free from the guards dragging his arm and asked.
"Sir, that was the trebuchet of the Han thieves just now. It was extremely terrifying!"
Terrifying?
It's just a trebuchet!
Qian Hanrong was stunned for a moment, and then thought of such a tragic scene.
It seems that a mere trebuchet is not impossible.
"Why is this trebuchet so powerful?"
The guards didn't know how to answer Qian Hanrong's words. After all, they didn't understand this stuff either.
"Sir, this trebuchet is not only powerful, but it can also be thrown very far. It was projected from the camp of the Han traitors and landed in our camp!"
"how is this possible?"
Qian Hanrong screamed and threw away the support of his bodyguard.
"It's just that the trebuchet is very powerful. Why can it be thrown so far? I remember that the Han bandit camp is a full two hundred steps away from us, right?"
The guards' faces were also pale at this time. After all, the impact of the scene just now was too severe for them, no matter how well-trained they were.
"We don't know either. We only know that the trebuchet will only be further away from us, and the projection distance must be at least two hundred steps upward!"
Qian Hanrong couldn't believe it anymore after hearing it, but he still felt lucky.
"Let's go back and let me confirm again!"
The guard's face turned pale when he heard this, "Sir, this is absolutely impossible!"
They begged and persuaded, hoping that Qian Hanrong would not come forward again.
Qian Hanrong had already come to his senses and said to his bodyguard:
"I understand. I'm not going to be at the front. Besides, who said observation must be from the front? It's not impossible for us to observe from the side!"
After hearing what he said, the bodyguard was still ignorant. He was obviously afraid.
However, they still admire Qian Hanrong. No wonder he is from the same family and can become a high official. His courage is not low at first glance.
"Quick, make arrangements!"
This time, Qian Hanrong no longer had any disdain for the Han army, nor was he careless.
I saw that he and his personal guards quietly came to a place where the Han army was determined to be out of reach to observe the Han army.
Although two or three hundred steps is indeed a bit far and a bit difficult to see, it is not a big problem.
You can see it even vaguely.
Qian Hanrong found that the Han army only had three trebuchets, with an approximate range of between 250 and [-] steps. The longest range may exceed [-] steps, but not much.
This trebuchet is obviously taller than a normal trebuchet, and its shape is obviously different. This may be why the Han army's trebuchet can project hundreds of steps.
Not only that, this trebuchet is extremely powerful. In his estimation, each of these boulders should weigh no less than a hundred kilograms, and the damage caused by hitting the ground would be extremely terrifying.
However, he also discovered the weaknesses of these trebuchets.
That is, the launch speed is slow and the number is scarce. As long as it avoids the place where the boulder can hit it, it will not cause any problems.
"Order the people in the area that can be covered by the Han thieves' trebuchets to retreat, leaving an open space for the Han thieves to hit!"
The guard was shocked when he heard this, "Sir, what if we retreat and the Han thieves attack us?"
Qian Hanrong shook his head, "The Han thieves are coming?"
"I wish they would attack!"
The guard was puzzled, but Qian Hanrong didn't explain much and just asked him to deliver the order immediately.
Soon, the Jiang army, which was under the attack of the Han army's trebuchets, all retreated, so that the rear was somewhat crowded.
The Han army was naturally aware of Jiang Jun's response, so after seeing them retreat completely, Wei Yuan said with a smile.
"There are smart people among them. If that's the case, let's stop attacking first!"
Soon, the order to stop the attack was given, and some soldiers said strangely.
"Why did you stop attacking?"
The captain patted his head and said, "You don't understand this. The enemy has already retreated. Our trebuchet can't reach them. Naturally, there is no need to attack. It doesn't matter if we waste stone bullets. This trebuchet is worn out." That’s the most important thing!”
The soldier thought thoughtfully and asked, "Since the enemy has retreated, can't we just attack with infantry?"
The captain explained: "Okay, okay, but the enemy comes back when we attack!"
"Isn't this bad?" The soldier asked curiously: "When the enemy comes back, we will use the trebuchet to hit them and smash them away!"
In response, the captain asked: "But what if they don't run away?"
"Then of course we have to kill him directly!"
It's natural for a soldier to be a soldier. As a soldier, why don't you go and kill him at this time?
At this time, the captain smiled, "What you said is very good, but after we kill them, will our trebuchets still dare to throw stones?"
The little warrior was dumbfounded. He thought for a moment and then shook his head.
Yes, the throwing distance of the trebuchet is unstable. Once it rushes up and gets entangled with the enemy, the trebuchet will not dare to throw again.
The captain was very pleased that this child was good and he could understand it immediately.
But the little warrior had his own ideas after all, and asked curiously again.
"Then can we move the trebuchet forward a little, just fifty steps, so that the enemy can retreat another fifty steps."
"If you retreat like this, the enemy will eventually lose their camp!"
When the captain heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"The trebuchet is so big, you don't think it needs to be fixed?"
"Also, although the trebuchet can be moved, have you ever thought about why it needs to be dismantled when moving?"
"Also, during this confrontation, you put this important weapon, the most difficult to move weapon, at the front. Isn't this clearly telling the enemy to come and destroy me!"
"Also, if you advance fifty steps, is there not much difference between the enemy taking fifty steps and retreating fifty steps?"
The little soldier couldn't help but tilted his head after listening to the captain's series of words.
Seeing this, the captain laughed again.
Although the little soldier's questions were immature, it didn't mean that he was ignorant, but that there were many things that he couldn't access.
Moreover, with this kind of spirit, it is always better to study in the future. As long as you don't die in the military, you will make rapid progress.
Perhaps, next time you declare the list of students to the martial arts hall, you can bring this little guy with you!
The captain thought like this, and his love for talents arose in his heart.
But then he shook his head. There will be a big battle next. Whether they can survive is another matter.
If one of them dies, this declaration will be meaningless.
But if they are still alive and have made great achievements despite being unreasonable, it is not impossible that their superiors took the initiative to issue a notice.
So after thinking about it, they not only need to survive, but also win.
Both sides understood what was going on when the Han army's trebuchets stopped attacking, but Qian Hanrong was a little disappointed.
Because the Han army did not take the initiative to send infantry to attack, otherwise he would surely turn this camp into a sad place for the Han army.
If nothing unexpected happens next, everyone will be quiet until night.
Pity!
