On the outskirts of Feng County, on a small hill, dozens of cannons were arranged in a row. This was the Qin army's artillery position, and the entire Chu army camp was below the range of cannons from a high position.

Although Xiang Yu was reckless and impulsive and ignored the overall situation, this man came from a military strategy family. His father and uncle were both generals, his grandfather was also generals, and his grandfather's father was still generals. So when the marching was fast, Xiang Yu decided to have a good idea.

It is no secret that the Qin army's artillery was supposed to prevent the Qin army's artillery bombing. The Chu army's camp tents were very spaced. This sparse way of camping was obviously guarding against the Qin army's artillery.

There is no need to say much about the power of artillery. In the era of Daqin, this was a huge killer weapon that crossed the ages. Of course, artillery also had its disadvantages, and it was heavy and inconvenient to transport. The shells were different from bows and arrows. The bows and arrows could be recycled and used many times, but the shells were consumables, and the logistical pressure also restricted the potential of the cannon.

After Han Xin's Qin army and Li Chen joined forces, the Qin army's artillery gathered together. Hundreds of tiger squat cannons and more than 40 destroying artillery were arranged on the hillside, which made people who knew the power of the cannon look a bit terrifying.

The Shenwu Army's fighting style is incompatible with this era. Human life is as low as grass on the battlefield. The theme of war in this era is iron and blood, and victory is made up of human lives. However, the Shenwu Army's fighting style is to use artillery to bombard the body first, and use infantry to rush. Problems that can be solved with artillery will never be solved with infantry.

The manufacturing process of Daqin was very backward. Although there were various materials obtained by Li Chen from his previous life, the gap in manufacturing brought about by the times was definitely not something that could be smoothed out early and overnight. The inferior gun barrels were shot continuously, and there was even a danger of explosion. The cost of a cannon was enough for a family of three to live in Xianyang for three or five years. The expensive gun barrels, expensive shells, and the cannons were fired. But even so, the Shenwu Army still regarded soldiers as the first priority. The obstacles that could be swept with shells would never let the soldiers charge with their lives.

"Boom, this is the first time I'm so generous."

The artillery battalion tent looked at the cannons in front of him and rubbed his hands excitedly. He usually cherished this cannon more than his wife, and spent much more time on maintaining the cannon than on maintaining his wife.

"fire."

The command flag in the artillery tent fell, and the artillery began to load ammunition calmly and ignite the lead. More than a hundred small cannons began to roar, and the shells bombarded the Chu army tent like meteorites.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The Chu army had been bombarded more than once in the battle with Han Xin. They seemed to have experienced the bombardment. When the cannon sounded, the Chu army quickly crawled on the ground and remained motionless. The bandits and bandits who came to help the boxing in Xiang Yu's camp were really disorganized, running around in the camp, roaring and screaming.

"Let's go down, get down."

Chu Jun, who was lying on the ground, shouted at the thief army running by his side, "This is not his kindness, but the people are running around and have been trampling on him several times."

The thief army seemed to have discovered that the more they ran, the faster they died. On the contrary, the few people lying on the ground were killed or injured. As the saying goes, he listened to people's advice to have enough food, and this kid was also a little clever, and he quickly crawled on the ground like the Chu army beside him.

"Brother, you are such a good person."

The bandit army lay on the ground and took advantage of the silence of artillery fire and said to the Chu army who had just reminded him to lie down.

"Okay, you mad, I've been stepped on by my hand three times."

The Chu army stretched out and was trampled like a pig's trotter, and cursed in anger.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The Qin army's artillery fire was roaring, and the Chu army was pressed into the camp and could not raise its head, but the Qin army on the other side of the river had already begun to act under the cover of artillery fire.

"For combat preparation, the Qin army may be about to attack the camp."

"For combat preparation, the Qin army may be about to attack the camp."

"For combat preparation, the Qin army may be about to attack the camp."

Some veterans in the Chu army began to remind the people beside them.

First, the artillery bombarded, then the infantry rushed. After the infantry rushed, the artillery bombarded, and after the artillery bombarded the infantry bombarded.

After fighting with the Qin army for too many wars, the Chu army also found out the Qin army's fighting style. Although it did not have any technical content, the Chu army had no way to deal with this simple and direct fighting style. If they could not solve the Qin army's cannon, then there would be no way to do this kind of fighting style.

After half an hour of continuous bombing, the gun barrels had become soft. The Qin army's artillery fire stopped, the smoke and dust on the battlefield dissipated, and the vast Qin army had already pressed over from the front.

"The Qin army is here."

"The Qin army is here."

The scouts of the Chu army almost immediately discovered the movements of the Qin army. Xiang Yu had another way of training. As soon as the Qin army emerged, the Chu army began to organize a line of defense in a intensive manner.

"Wei Bao, gather your people to the flanks, and I will deal with the Qin army in front, so don't cause trouble."

Xiang Yu looked at the thief army running around in the camp and said to Wei Bao.

During the bombing of the Qin army, the Chu army itself was not in chaos. Instead, because of these tens of thousands of bandit troops, they injured many of them. Because of this, Xiang Yu became more and more disdainful of these bandits and bandits.

"Okay, I'll take people to the flanks right away and promise not to cause trouble for the king."

When Wei Bao heard that he didn't need to fight, he immediately said with joy.

There are many thief troops who came to help Xiang Yu with fists. After all, Xiang Yu is now the hope of the whole village. If the Xiang group collapses, those who want to rebel will have no hope. Among these thief troops, Wei Bao is the most powerful, so Xiang Yu ordered Wei Bao to uniformly manage these scattered bandits. Wei Bao has already made plans to let his men be cannon fodder for Xiang Yu, but who knew that Xiang Yu actually asked them to go to the flank. Not to mention that there is no movement on the flank at the moment, even if there is a flank, it is usually the direction of a feint. Wei Bao was naturally overjoyed.

"Wind, wind, wind."

The Qin army's shouts were already close to their ears, and the close contact was approaching.

"Shoot the arrow."

Soon, the Qin army had reached the range of crossbow arrows. Qin's crossbows were world-famous, and the Qin army could shoot at this distance, but the Chu army's crossbow arrows could not shoot at the Qin army.

"put."

"Swoosh, swosh, swosh."

The Qin army's crossbow arrows were like locusts, and were shot into the Chu army's camp. Of course, the Chu army and the Qin army were not fighting for the first day. When the Qin army was raising the arrows, the Chu army also raised the shield in their hands as soon as possible. Therefore, although the Qin army's crossbows were killed, it did not hurt the Chu army.

The distance between Qin and Chu troops was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that the other party's ferocious face could be clearly seen. The shouts of more than 200,000 people resounded throughout the sky, and blood and murderous aura seemed to fill the entire battlefield.

A close fight is about to break out.
