Chapter 110 closer
More than 60,000 defeated soldiers killed more than 12,000 people, and there were still 470,000 infantrymen in the entire army. Wang Jian did not share the last 80,000 sets of giant armor equally, but left them all in the back formation. The lack of giant armor and cloth armor made Zhao Yong very unhappy. He said depressedly: "It's okay to have leather armor, please give more giant spears, otherwise how can our army kill the enemy?"
"There are only 160,000 spears," Wang Jian was like a local rich man, who calculated every money in his pocket very carefully. "Each army can only give 20,000 spears." Seeing that Zhao Yong was about to speak again, he said again: "The two armies are facing each other, and the spears and halberds are only five elements, and you can only watch outside the five elements. If the soldiers who move forward die, the soldiers who move later can take the spear and fight again. The spears and spears are all black!"
The shogunate once suggested marking the giant spear. After the soldiers in front were used up, they continued to use it. Unexpectedly, the general really made people blacken the giant spear. Zhao Yong's face became bitter, and Qiang Sheng and Bai Lin's faces became very ugly. He said that the front row was used up and the rear row was used, but the giant spear would definitely be damaged during use. Twenty thousand pieces and two thousand five hundred lines, which are only eight lines. Only one-fifth of the soldiers had giant spears on their hands, and the rest were either iron spears or copper spears. It would be better to bite the enemy with this weapon than to kill the enemy.
Wang Jian didn't care about the expressions of the generals. He had already arranged the first three formations. He turned to look at Zhu Fen, "This battle, the Jing people had more than 150 witchcrafts. General Zhu Fen thought how many rows should be arranged in front of the cavalry formation?"
"It must be twenty lines." Zhu Xing's eyes became hard and straight when they heard the sound. In the Battle of Sand and Water, five thousand cavalry were arranged to deal with more than fifty cannons. Now, to deal with more than fifty cannons, it requires at least fifteen thousand cavalry. Nearly ten thousand cavalry had been lost in the previous two battles, and forty thousand cavalrymen drew out 15,000 cavalry to assault artillery arrays, and less than fifteen thousand cavalry could be used for cavalry battles.
"If there are twenty lines..." Wang Jian certainly knew the number of cavalrymen on his side. Although a small number of cavalrymen who rushed to the formation could survive, the number was still too small. The most important part of the enemy's plan was the tired horse. As long as the dragon and horse of the Chu army were exhausted, the cavalry battle could be won, and the war could be carried out well.
"The cavalry and barons broke the formation of the witchcraft of Jing people last time. In this battle, the Jing people will definitely increase the trains and resist horses. The twenty lines are still not enough, so how can we reduce them again?" Zhu Xing's eyes naturally fell on Wang Jian's face. Like Bai Lin and others, he also felt that the Qin army would be defeated in this battle. But if he had to fight in this battle, if Qin did not die, he would become a prince of Chu even if he did not die. He, a traitor, would not have a good end.
"At the end of this battle, the general wants to lead the cavalry to the battlefield, and the rest will be handed over to General Zhao Teng." A shadow of a broken car flashed in his mind, and he said with great interest.
The words of Fen surprised everyone. Everyone looked at him and then looked at Wang Jian. Wang Jian was surprised at first, and then said, "General Fen is brave. After this battle, I will report to the king."
"If you don't enter Qin, you will not be able to repay the kindness of the king?" Even after this battle, even if the Qin army was not defeated, Hun Fen, who personally led the cavalry toward the artillery, knew that he would probably not be able to survive. But what about this? Instead of being taken back to Chu after the war, it would be better to die on the battlefield.
"General Wu Fen is loyal and brave. If you return to the capital, you will report your father." Fusu, who had always been silent, looked at Wu Fen. Wu Fen traitor and entered Qin, was disgusted by him, but he did not expect that he would have loyal and bravery.
"I dare not." Huo rushed to avoid Fusu's bow and stopped talking.
Wang Jian's eyes quickly turned to Bai Lin, and Bai Lin said anxiously: "The cavalry rushes forward, and our soldiers must follow closely. Unfortunately, the Ba people have heavy swords and shields, and they are not good at running around. Can these more than 10,000 people be incorporated into the rear army? The spear soldiers of the rear army are reinvigorated into the front army? In this way, the spear soldiers of the front army are good at running, and the Ba people have the great armor of their own."
The swords, shields and soldiers were not good at fighting in formation. The huge swords in their hands and the iron swords that could not penetrate the Chu army's armor were completely a burden in front of the formation. Wang Jian did not think much about Bai Lin's suggestion, and he said, "Okay."
"Where is Han Shen?" Wang Jian said again after answering.
"The last general is here." Han Shen is a crossbow general, but he not only has hundreds of Jing crossbows, but also more than 400 elastic stone catapults in the entire army.
"The army formation blocks the enemy in front of you, you should use a crossbow and shoot it up." Wang Jian said. "In this battle, victory over the enemy is half in the cavalry, half in the crossbow and shoot."
"The last general will accept the order. This battle will definitely defeat the Jing people!" Han Shen knew about his mission a few days ago, and Wang Jian's words did not surprise him. One of the reasons why Bai Lin's troops stopped attacking Daliang was that they had to transfer back nearly 200 elastic stone throwers that attacked the city.
"Good." Wang Jian looked at Han Shen and then at the other generals. "The battle formation is broken and you must not take a step back. Those who fled will have five or one kill. Can you please try to determine life and death like they pull their chopsticks?"
"Report to General, I don't want to." Wang Jian picked up the chopsticks and the scalp became numb, and he answered in unison. Even if he was a former child, he would never be alone. Death in battle would not affect his family. Needless to say, he would not die. He would be a crime, but he would be better than his subordinates.
Seeing that everyone answered sincerely, Wang Jian no longer emphasized the existence of the Qin Dynasty and the belonging of the world. For most people, these are very illusory things. Their own life and death, and the life and death of their wives and family members are real things. "The people of Jing, who are twenty miles from me, will decide within two or three days, whether tomorrow or the next day. From tomorrow, the soldiers will eat meat and drink wine before the battle."
The decisive battle that had been waiting for more than half a year finally came. The generals were shocked, and they felt as if they were suddenly lifted tightly by something, and at the same time they felt coldness that was deeply rooted in their bones. At this time, the military officer entered the tent and placed a wine cup in front of the generals, poured in sake, and Wang Jian stood up with the generals with both hands. After drinking, he shouted: "The Qin Dynasty will win!"
"The Qin Dynasty will win!" After drinking the wine, the generals shouted loudly with Wang Jian, and also threw the wine cup heavily on the ground, making a crisp sound.
The Baidi Taifu beside Fusu and Fusu witnessed everything that happened in the shogunate. Fusu was young, and at this time, he looked at the generals who were preparing to fight to the death with his eyes shining brightly. No matter how the people in the world slandered the Qin Dynasty, even if they were not Qin people, they would be loyal to the Qin Dynasty. Can the Kanto countries do it? If Chu treats children like General Feng, he will rebel to the Qin Dynasty? If Han treats generals like Han Shen well, will Han Shen become a crossbow general of Qin?
Young people tend to be optimistic about things, but the young teachers are worried. The Qin army is a army that is united by rewards and violence. Once the war breaks this reward mechanism and violent punishment, the world's largest army will instantly disappear.
Only officers and Qinni soldiers would be loyal to Qinni. The soldiers recruited in the conquered areas, such as Qi, accounted for almost half of the entire army, but they were likely to be defeated and fled without seeing victory. This is also the reason why the general king arranged them in the front and Qinni soldiers in the final.
Aristotle IV was very worried that he would experience another battle in Weinan. When the battle was halfway through, he saw that Qinni was about to be defeated. This time he also felt that the plan to seize the enemy's armor and weapons was not successful, or that it was only half successful. Qinni's soldiers did not have enough armor and weapons, and they had to use the most cruel method to rely on cavalry to attack the Chuni's artillery positions.
"Teacher, can the Qin army win?" Back at his tent, Fusu asked this question unexpectedly.
"Victory depends only on the goddess Nicki. The child." Aristotle IV looked at Fusu full of desire, and he chose not to tell the truth.
"But the Qin army does not have as many huge iron weapons and armor as the Chu army..." The shogunate was in a state of great emotion, but that was in the shogunate and Greek culture that rationality had taken root in Fusu's heart. He knew what the disadvantages of the Qin army were. With this disadvantage and logical reasoning, the Qin army had a great chance of defeat.
"The outcome of a war depends not only on weapons and armor," Aristotle IV advised. "It also depends on the bravery of the soldiers and the reasonable tactics of the general..." Perhaps even he felt that this sentence was not convincing, he said again: "It also depends on the will of the goddess. If she likes the Chinnis, she will fly to the Chinnis; if she likes the Chinnis, she will fly to the Chinnis."
"But..." Fusu is familiar with Greek mythology. Compared with those unsystematic myths in the world, systematic Greek mythology is more attractive to him. He knows the preferences and stories of each Greek god, rather than just some incomplete fragments like the world's mythology. It is precisely because of his understanding that he feels distressed: "But why did the goddess of victory like Daqin? She should like..."
"Because the Qin Dynasty is closer to Greece than Chuni." Aristotle IV made an indescribable conclusion, and Fusu couldn't say anything but he couldn't say it, and he was speechless.
But after saying this, Aristotle IV suddenly felt regretful. He could easily escape in the Battle of Weinan. Now he is Fusu's teacher and it is impossible to abandon Fusu and escape. If he wants to take Fusu with him, he should not tell him that the Qin army can definitely win. Fusu originally had his own personal guards, and as a guard, he could also mobilize soldiers from the guard camp. If Fusu opposes escaping, it will be difficult for him to leave.
"Bless the gods." Aristotle IV, who was bound by himself, whispered secretly, and he found Zaras the next moment.
"The snow is very heavy." Zaras was covered in snow, his eyebrows, and his beard was covered in white frost. "The Chuni people will not be able to attack tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Aristotle IV smiled, "If the Chunis did not attack tomorrow, they would wait until the day after tomorrow. Before the road was opened, both armies were trapped here, which was even more terrible..."
"It's terrible." Zaras agreed, but he had another meaning: "In such cold weather, we can no longer ride a horse and we will freeze to death on the road."
