As for the reason, the generals of the Qi army unilaterally believed that their army assembly was threatened by the Qin State's heavenly army, which caused their attack to be blocked, but objectively, seeing the air threat of the Qin army, the Qi army's assembly did not pose too much threat.

"Buzzing" over the besieged Qin Army's position, the fighter planes of the Qin State and Heavenly Army flew in groups of four and two groups of planes at a thousand paces in the air. This distance is very bad for the planes to drop bombs.

"Such a high distance is like throwing stones," a Qin pilot complained

The height of the plane cannot be lowered because there are machine guns on the ground that threaten Qin's air planes. Qin's fighter planes were also attacked because they lowered their altitude to carry out low-altitude bombing. One Qin's fighter plane was shot down. But it was the first time that it was shot down by a machine gun over the battlefield. For this reason, the Qin State Army unilaterally believed that the threat on the ground was too great. They originally wanted to stop the bombing, but the pressure from the Qin State Xianyang side was too great. They could not stop the bombing, so they should bomb at low altitude. For high-altitude horizontal bombing, the high-altitude in this period is only relatively speaking. The division of air distances is not strictly divided. This is just a default safe distance for pilots.

"It's very difficult to kill people by dropping bombs at this distance," a pilot said to their chief after receiving such an order

"That's good, you can lower the altitude and your plane will be shot down by machine guns. I don't want to write in my notepad that our army will lose a fighter jet and two pilots." Qin Jun's flight officer replied in order to reduce unnecessary The loss of the Qin army can only increase the bombing distance

"Buzzing" the planes of the Qin army are flying again, and their bombing targets are not clear. Their reconnaissance planes haven't taken off for a long time to provide them with effective target guidance, even with such a sparse bomber fleet at such a distance. It's hard to do a decent job

"Put" the pilot in front shouted loudly and made a gesture to drop the bomb. The pilot behind saw it and immediately pressed the mechanical arm. The bomb was dropped from under the wing of the plane at once.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The moment the "buzzing" bomb was dropped, the pilots of Qin State turned the plane back without even looking at it.

"Look at the flies dropping their eggs," said a Qi soldier, pointing loudly at the Qin plane that dropped the bomb in the sky.

"What's so good about this? Every day comes every day and flies so high that the machine gun can't hit it." The veteran of the Qi army said listlessly

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" came the sharp sound of bombs and air friction

"Boom boom boom!" The Qi army soldiers hid in this position and they were not killed in any way.

"Boom" The huge explosion blasted the mud everywhere

"Bah, bah, bah!" After the explosion, the splashed mud flew everywhere. A Qi soldier looked up to check the whole process of the bomb landing, but the splashed mud flew directly to his face.

"Bah, bah!" The soldiers of the Qi army spat out the dirt in their mouths vigorously.

"What smells so stinky?" A soldier of the Qi army who was eating was unlucky enough to shake off the dirt on the food

"Fucking people from the state of Qin blew up the dung!" a soldier of the Qi army cursed loudly

"Damn it!" A soldier of the Qi army picked up the food in his hand, and a pile of feces splashed on his food. Qin's planes did not pose a great threat to the Qi army as a whole. In fact, it was true that Qin's planes belonged to the Qi army. The position was bombed blindly. This kind of bombing did not have any targets. In addition, the Qin army's reconnaissance and bombing precision were not in place. As a result, Qin's plane bombing was a purposeless and blind waste of ammunition.

"Damn it's impossible to blow up anywhere, but it even blows up to the place where we shit and pee, damn Qin people," Qi army soldiers and scholars Qin people scolded like that

"Hurry up and stop eating, what else can you do?" A Qi soldier looked at the soldier holding the food with stool splashed on it and said

"Googoo" but the soldier was still hungry, his mouth twitched, what he saw was not feces but food. They reduced the original two meals to one, and the quality of the meals dropped drastically.

"Ah" said that the soldier of the Qi army ate the food in his hand without hesitation, and the soldiers on the side felt disgusted when they saw it. They wanted to vomit and couldn't vomit because they couldn't eat enough

"It's disgusting." The soldiers escaped in time when they saw how disgusting they were.

"I can't do it, I'm going to go to the toilet" said a soldier of the Qi army, clutching his stomach and leaving, he didn't dodge on purpose, but left to go to the toilet

The generals of the Qi army all believed that it was the air threat of the Qin army that made them unable to continue their offensive, but the actual reason was that their logistics and supplies were so difficult that they had seriously affected their survival.

Although the regular army of Qi State, the Qin State Guerrilla Corps carried out brutal strangulation, but the effect was not obvious.

But in this way, the Qin army's guerrilla regiments were forced to attack a larger area of ​​the Qi army's supply team, which aggravated the Qi army's logistics and supplies, and the Qi army finally faced a shortage of food.

The soldiers of the Qi army are really suffering from the bitter cold

They lacked winter clothes, although most of the Qi army distributed winter clothes, but the clothes were hard to keep out the cold. This winter was particularly cold, which made it difficult for the soldiers of the Qi army to keep out the cold. Many soldiers of the Qi army had to pull off the clothes of the dead and put them on. The worst thing is that it is very difficult for Qi soldiers who are hungry for food to go to battle. They spend a day listlessly hiding in the trenches like dead people. Only when they are eating, they will loot food like chicken blood.

Hunger is not so bad, the epidemic is spreading

The combat time coincided with winter and the combat environment was in the trenches. Many Qi soldiers had trench disease before some of their soldiers had the disease, but the disease quickly spread everywhere. The co-humid environment coupled with their drinking unclean The cold water and food made their stomachs unbearable. Many soldiers suffered from dysentery and some stomach problems. Diarrhea became the most normal phenomenon for the soldiers of the Qi army, but the soldiers of the Qi army did not pay attention to hygiene and threw their feces out of the trenches at will. In this way, the feces spread the virus to other people. Qin's bombing caused the feces to fly everywhere. For the Qi army, the invisible loss of combat effectiveness was due to many aspects, and it was also a problem in the details. How did the generals notice these and that?

872 Shang Wen's Explanation

".145

The combat environment of the soldiers of the Qi army is extremely bad and harsh, but their generals don't know it at all. Maybe they also understand and know the environment the soldiers of the Qi army are in, but they can't change it. Maybe the soldiers of the Qi army themselves are used to it. combat environment

Compared with the Qin army, the Qi army is far behind. The soldiers of the Qin army have clean toilets. If conditions permit, they have a place to take a bath. As long as the soldiers are at the base, they will have two sets of military uniforms to replace. Improved soldiers with a clean military uniform to naturally increase combat effectiveness

At the same time, a clean environment is an important way to prevent the spread of diseases, but the Qi army will fail in this regard. Because they do not pay attention to the cleanliness of the combat environment, their soldiers are prone to epidemic diseases, dysentery, trench disease, etc. These diseases are slowly eroding. The fighting will of the Qi army and their combat effectiveness

It is not surprising that the Qi army did not launch a new attack on the besieged Qin army. What is strange is that a large army of the Qi army did not launch an attack immediately after arriving in Yandu, but stopped to defend.

"You see, sir, they are very strange. According to common sense, they would launch an attack immediately, but now they have not launched an attack." A lieutenant of Zhao Jun instructed Li Zuoche

The Qi army in the distance did not launch an attack immediately after arriving in Yandu, but went on the defensive on the spot. They began to dig trenches and build fortifications on the spot. They didn't care about attacking at all.

"En" Li Zuoche just took a telescope to check the situation. The Qi army in the distance is about three miles away from Yandu. This distance can avoid the artillery attack. In fact, the artillery in Yandu city is difficult to use anymore. The several bronze cannons imported by Qin State are seriously rusted, and those are old-fashioned cannons. The Yan army has been neglecting military affairs for quite a long time. Li Zuoche just feels helpless about this. There is no such army at all. It can be said that the new army of Yan State, which was established with the training and help of the Qin Army, has already lost its combat effectiveness.

Li Zuoche is well aware of this and has not broken the current state of the Yan army. Everyone knows the current state of the Yan army. The state of Yan is a mess.

"We are also preparing to defend against the Qi army's attack. Maybe the Qi army will attack us after it stabilizes. We'd better be careful now," Li Zuoche said.

"The other thing is that we must step up the training of those militiamen. Whether we can hold this city depends on those militiamen. Our strength is too small." Li Zuoche said, looking at the densely packed Qi army outside the city.

"Those militiamen," the lieutenant said disdainfully.

"That's right, the role played by those militias is far beyond our imagination," Li Zuoche said affirmatively.

"We are a regular army," the lieutenant said a little unconvinced.

"The regular army can only fight in the field, but this is an urban battle. A city as big as this is not comparable to field battles," Li Zuoche said.

"Okay, let's stop talking and hurry up and order people to set up defenses," Li Zuoche said.

Immediately, the Zhao army, the Qin army, and the militiamen began to lay out city defenses. A large number of sandbags were moved to the city walls, and dense barbed wire was also arranged on the city gates. This change has not changed in the new defensive battle, so this practice of arranging a large number of barbed wire and sandbags on the city wall is still continuing

In addition to these fortifications, Zhao Jun placed landmines and some explosive devices made of improvised explosives in some key places. These explosive devices were installed in key places such as city gates.

After the division of arms, especially the division of engineers, the role of engineers has been strengthened. They are experts in placing explosives. These engineers are all recruited from Zhao's mines.

Since coal mine collection is still a barbaric collection method, especially coal mines need to use explosives for blasting to excavate, this also led to the appearance of a group of considerable blasting experts in Zhao State. They are familiar with explosives and are experts in placing explosives.

It is precisely because of this that Li Zuoche especially strengthened the role of engineers when recruiting new recruits. According to the establishment of only one platoon of engineers, Li Zuoche organized a company of engineers separately, and strengthened the training of engineers in each company. In this way, the Zhao army as a whole has been greatly strengthened in terms of engineering and soldiers. This strengthening is not only in the fortifications, but also in the lethality of explosive devices. Zhao Jun has installed a large number of explosives at the city gate and important traffic.

"Be careful, we have to connect the wires here." A Zhao army engineer carefully pulled a coil of wires over. They mixed the only explosives and black powder and installed them in one piece. Zhao soldiers used yellow gold imported from Qin. This kind of explosive is relatively safe and powerful, but its production method has been kept secret from Zhao Guo. Zhao Jun can only passively import this explosive from Qin State.

On the issue of chemical formulations, Qin State has always imposed a strict blockade on all countries. This blockade is so strict that factory workers cannot take the ingredients out of the factory without permission, especially the chemical factories. These chemical factories have always been the key secrets of Qin State, but all countries respect Qin State. This powerful explosive has always been in their hearts, so they will always try their best to find out this chemical formula, but Qin State strictly keeps it secret.

Although Qin State keeps it strictly confidential, some information will always be reflected from the side, such as Li Zuoche's approach

"Report sir, we have run out of explosives." An engineer sergeant ran over to report to Li Zuoche

"This is the battlefield sergeant," Li Zuoche said angrily
