If this set of flax armor was not captured by Gui Jing's cavalry, Xiong Jing would almost think that this was a conspiracy of the Qin people, and the purpose was to attack the morale of his army. The three-stone longbow shot without entering ten steps, the four-stone longbow would be shot through, and the five-stone longbow shot through it.

However, this is meaningless. The four-edged arrowhead only penetrates half an inch of the armor. It cannot shoot or seriously hurt the Qin soldiers wearing this armor. At most, it will only be slightly injured. Fortunately, this armor suit cannot resist the Chu army's spear. Even if it is a trot and a spear, the sharp spear edge can tear the thirty-five layers of linen hard.

After this result, everyone finally had some ideas about the Qin people equiping linen armor. They equip linen armor not to replace iron armor, but to replace leather armor that is only three millimeters thick. The four-edged armor-breaking heavy arrows of the Chu army targeted leather armor, so they could not penetrate linen armor. If every soldier of the Qin army was wearing this linen armor, then the archers could no longer kill the Qin soldiers unless they ran away with their backs to the archers.

Whether all the soldiers of the Qin army would wear flax armor and fight with the war was a mystery. The Grand Sima Mansion did not get any information about the Qin people's equipment flax armor, and even flax armor was unknown. In terms of the raw materials of flax armor, it was just a dozen fine linen cloths to be glued together. With the Qin mobilization system, it was impossible to mobilize the linen cloth needed by the Qin army.

After announcing that the flax armor was not allowed to be circulated, he would lead all back to the camp. Whether the archer abandoned the bow and held the spear will wait for the final discussion of the shogunate. Looking at the flax armor with several arrows, Xiong Jing said: "I would rather be inferior to others, and no one would be inferior to me. The Qin people have been in the west for a long time, and if they don't fight with each other, they will be in danger!"

The Qin army had no Jing crossbows, but now there were Jing crossbows; the Qin army had no three-oat warships, but now there were three-oat warships; the Qin army had no flax armor, but now there were flax armor. What else would the Qin army have if it continued to wait? Xiong Jing could not imagine. He scratched his hair and looked a little depressed. Zhuang Wudi and Peng Zong rarely saw him depressed, even if it was only for a moment.

"The Qin people's armor is not as good as me, why worry about Da Ao?" Zhuang Wudi didn't understand why Xiong Jing was depressed. In his opinion, the extreme western countries had flax armor, and they also had to buy the Chu State's armor and the huge armor blades were largely paid.

"I am only worried that the Qin people's weapons are changing with each passing day." Xiong Jing quickly adjusted his emotions. No matter what the Qin army had, they already had them now.

"But I have artillery, but the Qin people have no." Peng Zong said. "First use artillery to bomb it, and then use a spear formation to rush it. How can the Qin formation not be broken?"

"Meng Tian used cavalry to attack the artillery array, and Wang Jian must do the same." Xiong Jing said. The Operations Department and the Shogunate both believed that the Qin army would adopt this strategy again, and they had no choice. In the battle of Shashui, the Qin army's five thousand cavalry to attack the artillery array, and the casualties were indeed heavy, but they achieved the effect that Meng Tian wanted.

"If the two armies fight on the ice," said Zhuang Wudi, when talking about the cavalry's attack on the artillery array, he had to remind him. "The giant wire mesh is difficult to use, so it can only be blocked by the chariot array. However, the chariot is more than one meter high, and once it is obscured by the corpse..."

"Our army has more than 10,000 cavalry, five thousand dragon cavalry, and only more than 20,000 Qin people. In the battle of Shashui, our army had only six or seventy artillery artillery, but now there are more than 100. The Qin people cannot rush to my cannon formation without ten thousand cavalry. However, ten thousand cavalry are placed in front of the formation to rush to my cannon formation, and the cavalry is no longer as good as me." Peng Zong said.

The Qin army used cavalry to attack the artillery array, but when discussing within the shogunate, Peng Zong mentioned more than once the changes in the number of both sides, namely the increase in artillery and the decrease in the Qin cavalry. Zhuang Wudi heard him talk about this matter again, but because he did not want to argue with him in front of Xiong Jing, he had to vaguely say: "To this day, our army has no news about the number of Qin cavalry. Qin is not like our country, and Qin has many horse herding places. After the sand and water battle, cavalry must be summoned again."

"Today, the Qin Dynasty has no cattle and horses, how can I summon cavalry again?" Peng Zong shook his head repeatedly, and then set off to argue with Zhuang Wudi. Seeing this, Xiong Jing coughed heavily, and the two of them gave up. When the big tent was quiet, snow fell outside the tent again, and the three of them were completely silent as they watched the snowflakes outside. The old man in Tianwen said that the ice layer would be half a foot within ten days. Judging from the current situation, if the snow fell for a few days, the ice on Muze would be half a foot thick.

"If the Qi army cannot come from Danshui, it will not come." Xiong Jingyouyou said. He suddenly felt that the only troops that could gather might be the current twenty divisions.

"I have already told you urgently that Vuguang will come from Danshui. If you can't, stop." Zhuang Wudidao.

Everything depends on the weather. A few days later, each army will have more hope of rushing to arrive. The more each army arrives, the more likely it is to win. Even if the Qi army is not established, they can increase the width of the Chu army array if they can arrive in time. The wider the width of the array, the thinner the Qin army will spread, and the thinner the Qin army will spread, the easier it will be to be broken.

Although I don’t know what kind of formation Wang Jian would list during the decisive battle, this is the principle of formation battle. The width and depth of the array are always inconsistent. Faced with a large number of Qin troops, the Chu army had no chance to attack at all, so they could only choose to attack head-on. The most effective method of frontal attack, artillery charge was delayed by the cavalry attack initiated by the Qin army, and in the end only grenadiers and spears were left. It’s better that the Qin army’s array was thin, but if the depth was extremely thick, even Xiong Jing didn’t know whether the spear could break the formation.

"You are the leader of the cavalry, and all the rebukes are out of you. In your opinion, how much should the Qin cavalry be in this battle? How will the Qin cavalry set up their formation in this battle? Can the dragon cavalry break the formation?" The snow was still falling on the second day, and the ice layer thickened by five points. Xiong Jingzhao came to Guijing, who had been thinking of Guijing for a night. When he saw Guijing, he thought of Xiang Chao and felt a little melancholy in his heart.

Xiong Jing asked a series of questions, and Gui Jing didn't know what to say for a moment. He opened his mouth and kept silent, and then said for a moment: "I think the Qin cavalry must exceed 30,000. The knights under my command of the former month old had seen the flag of Yiqujiuji..."

"Yiquji?" Xiong Jing immediately thought of the chubby Rong man who was full of mutton smell. "Why don't you report it?"

"I have reported it, but I know that the officials said that Yiquzi has not moved his camp and is still in Henan." Xiong Jing was surprised, and Gui Jing was also surprised.

"What I know about the words of the Master of the Communist Party must be false!" Xiong Jing was a little excited and wished he could slap the table. In October, he happened to be in Shouying and was out of the seal. Gui Jing's news came to the Grand Sima Mansion. It was filtered by the Minister of the Communist Party of China as fake information, and there was no report at all. "Don't talk about this!" He suppressed his emotions. "You say it again."

"Yes." Gui Jing was not sure why he now understood why the officials were abolished. "I think that many cavalrymen in Qin were killed or injured in the northern county, Henan county, Jiuyuan county, Yunzhong county, and Yanmen county, were all places where cavalrymen were produced. In the battle of Shashui, more than 10,000 Qin cavalry were killed or injured. After several months of the war, they were recruited in northern counties. There must be no shortage of cavalrymen, but only war horses were missing."

"There is no longer a shortage of war horses." Xiong Jing waved. "Duan Quan, a great animal husbandry merchant in Zhao, told me that Qin will exchange silk brocade for horses this year, and it will get two or three thousand cavalry."

"Ah?" Gui Jing was shocked when he heard this, "I heard that Hu Rong had not replaced horses with the Qin people for several years. The Qin people not only lacked war horses, but also lacked horses to pull them..."

The economic war against Qin ended in failure. The reason for the failure of the economic war was that the Chu army urgently needed to establish a spice trade network to support the war that could not see the end for five years. This was actually the consequence of the weak mobilization ability. If Chu could mobilize mercilessly like Qin and forcefully put every child, every Chu money, and every corn into the war, Qin would have already lost its country.

If you can't be so ruthless, then you will be ruthless to the Qin people - the Battle of Weinan will kill all the surrendered soldiers of the Qin army, and after the Xianyang will be eliminated, all the craftsmen of the Shaofu will be killed, the situation will not collapse to this extent.

However, because of the noble nature, the State of Chu could not be ruthless to itself, nor to its enemies. This made Xiong Jing think of some people in history who lost all his chips for a little worthless integrity and the residual warmth of the scholar-official era. This memory made him feel bad, which seemed to predict that he would get a failed ending.

He interrupted Gui Jing to tell him that the Qin people were short of horses in the past, but now the Qin people did not lack horses, but because of the bad mood, he stood there and said nothing for a long time. It was not until Gui Jing, who was suffering from the cold, couldn't help but cough, and he woke up in shock.

"The Qin people don't lack horses!" He said dryly, as if it was not his own voice.

"So," Gui Jing coughed again. "There may be 40,000 or 50,000 in this way. If the cavalry breaks the cannon formation, there should be 40,000 in the array. It is very difficult for the dragon cavalry to break the formation."

"How difficult?" Xiong Jing also coughed, and he cleared his throat. "The Qin cavalry rushed towards my cannon formation, and the cannons could not break the formation; the Qin people were several times more than me, and the formation must be extremely thick, and the spear may not break the formation. What I wish was to use heavy cavalry to fight against the formation."

"I'm telling it to the truth," said Gui Jing: "The heavy cavalry must first break the formation, and it takes a long time to arrange the formation. If the Qin cavalry attacks me at this time and disrupts my formation, I will not be able to line up. Or if I take advantage of the rushing to the formation and attacking me, my heavy cavalry cannot return to the formation, and the heavy cavalry cannot break the formation."

Xiong Jing was a hand-off manager. After he pointed out a path, the others moved forward according to this path and tried to summarize the final tactics. Gui Jing was very clear about the details of the heavy cavalry breaking the formation. The array and return formation he mentioned were both fatal shortcomings of the heavy cavalry tactics. If he didn't arrange the array, he would be unable to rush to the formation. If he didn't rush to the formation and did not return, he would not be able to form a wave-like offensive and would not be able to break the Qin army array.

However, what Xiong Jing hoped for was not the usual way to break the formation. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "The heavy cavalry only rushed to the formation once in this battle, and did not line up behind the formation, but in front of the formation."

"In front of the formation..., once?" Gui Jing said just now, rushing from the side and behind the Qin army array. Unexpectedly, Xiong Jing was talking about the formation. Thinking of the Qin people's deep and profound array, and the densely packed spears in the military array, he subconsciously said: "No! This cannot be broken into the formation!"

"In addition, the spear can definitely be broken!" Xiong Jing seemed to have regained his confidence in victory, and his voice was firm. He knew that the heavy cavalry could not break through the enemy formation in one charge, but the heavy cavalry could break through the enemy formation. At this time, the infantry rushed through the spear again, and the enemy formation would be broken.
