When the village was unreturned, the mountain streams of more than ten miles long in Wangchuan were full of fire. Wangchuan is a narrow-mouthed and long, wide-bellied mountain stream, like a thin-mouthed bottle. The Jiayiheng Stream, which was attacked by the Chu army, went north to the lower end of the bottle mouth. The mountain stream about 500 meters wide was tightened here to 50 meters.

Fifty meters are not narrow. The problem is that the mountains are rugged and the trees are growing in the mountain stream, especially the three bends. The three bends are the most narrow. It is like a mountain gate, not wide and is extremely dangerous. If you want to go there, you must grab the vines and stick to the rocks and use them together, and there is no place to fall at the place where you break.

The cliff above his head was in danger, and the roaring streams were roaring under his feet. Even in the Tang Dynasty, when Wang Wei set up a separate business in Wangchuan here, the mountain road had been chiseled open and accessible, and people still called this mountain road "Sanli Bi". There was a reason why the Qin army ignored Wangchuan. This was indeed not a shortcut to cross the Qinling Mountains. Zhao Cheng, who led the elite soldiers of the Qin army, was not guarding Wangchuan, but Bailuyuan.

Drilling rocks, blowing up mountain roads, but cleaning and leveling the roads is the task of the Chu army engineers. The fifteen-jin cannon operation code recommends a road of more than three meters. This is nothing. The key is the turning radius, which is another factor that restricts artillery maneuver in addition to the load on the bridge. A straight road is enough to open a three-meter-wide road. Because the turning area needs a certain turning radius, most of the ground in the turning radius fan surface should be flat, and the turning radius should be the most rocks at the turn, which greatly increases the project volume.

Fortunately, there are many dragon horses to pull the cannons. The dragon horses are pulled, and eight horses are turned into six, six horses become four, and the turning radius is reduced by three or four meters. Even if the heaviest cannon is thirty-two kilograms, six dragon horses can be pulled as long as the road permits.

In Wangchuan, the ten-mile long stream that was temporarily assembled before the Chu army launched its attack in the afternoon was crowded with artillery carriages and supplies. For artillery and logistics personnel, there was no idea of ​​the war ahead, but everyone believed that the Chu army would win. This trust made these vehicles not reserve room for turning.

Fortunately, the battle situation was the same as everyone believed. The Chu army attacked one after another defeated the Qin people outside the mountain stream. When the news reached the mountain stream, the excited cheers lasted for more than ten miles and dozens of miles. Taking advantage of the last light before dark, the news of victory spread to the rear and reached Yingdu. The Qin army was defeated, and the solemnity in the day gradually turned into laughter. Even the sound of drilling rocks and knocking on the iron rod was almost a little bit. The Lifu and his men happily shouted horns and sang Chu songs.

The strong soldiers were cheerful, and Gongshuji, who was responsible for the pioneering of the road, looked solemn. If he had any choice, he would rather take back what he had said before. The rocks here were stronger than he had imagined. The dozens of stonemasons and hundreds of strong soldiers in the army started to drill rocks from the time of the great migration. It took more than three hours to dig a hole of twenty-six feet wide and a depth of more than meter.

Mountain rocks are not rammed earth. Even if it is rammed earth, such a shallow hole can't be blown up. If only rocks are more than meter deep are blown up, it means that the holes have to be dug again. The time to dig the holes and wait for the cement to solidify, these times have passed and the ignition will be dawn. If the passageway is delayed until dawn, Gongshuji really can't imagine what evil consequences will be caused.

"Dare you ask the general, can you explode?" It has been more than an hour since the iron drilling of rock drilling sounds. Wu Kong, the school of artillery, squeezed into the narrow path ahead and found Gongshuji who was discussing with the Fengren. The artillery had independent Jing crossbow and catapulted troops. Gongshuji was once Wu Kong's superior, and Wu Kong still met with the etiquette of the subordinate officials.

"It's not yet." Gongshuji did not answer, so Fengrenji answered quickly. "The cement takes at least three hours to solidify. Even if it's three hours, it's not enough, so it takes at least two hours."

"Two hours?" Wu Kong was shocked. It was already dusk. It was night food and it was still dusk. It was midnight. It would take at least two hours. Isn't it necessary to go out until midnight?

"That's right." When Feng Renjiu spoke, Gongshuji could not help but look at him.

"What the seal said is the most." Gongshu Ji said. "The cement has not condensed, and the power of gunpowder breaks out, which is useless. If cement is condensed, the power of gunpowder is all towards the mountain rocks. The rocks burst, and the mountain roads are opened. After more than two hours, you might as well sleep."

"Sleeping?" Wu Kong shook his head repeatedly. After winning the first battle, the servants, including the boy, looked excited. "Sleeping?" At this time, who can sleep. "No one can sleep tonight."

Wu Kong's words made Gongshu Ji, and Feng Renji smiled. Indeed, no one could sleep on this night.

"The Jing people attacked me, but they did not see any baggage or witchcraft. This must be because they came to climb a mountain. If our army does not fight with them, retreat to Baqiao and wait for their food to be exhausted, and attack them to return, they can win." The Qin army shogunate on the east bank of the Ba River, Zhao Zheng, who settled down, led them to start a fight. Zhao Zheng, who was sitting in the middle, did not say a word, and listened quietly to the generals.

"It's not true. The Jing people defeated me, and it was unexpected. If the two armies fought in a dignified manner, our army had a population of 400,000, so why should we be afraid of the Jing people?" Zhao Yang, the county magistrate, was the one who refused to admit defeat. Others said that the Chu army was strong and the soldiers were powerful, but he emphasized that the Chu army always fought with more and less.

"If the general is not afraid of the Jing people, he will fight with the Jing people. However, if the Jing people do not fight with me and go to Baqiao first, what if?" Yang Duanhe asked back.

If the IQ is not a genius, the enemy and us are basically the same. The strategies that Zhuang Wudi could think of, Wei Liao, Yang Duanhe, the young Zhang Han and a group of strategists in the Guowei Mansion all thought of. The only difference is internal struggles or political correctness. Many generals in the Zhao clan were promoted by Zhao Zheng. The reason why Zhao Zheng was promoted was not that the Qin law prevented Zhao generals from controlling military power, but that there was indeed a certain gap between the Zhao generals and the generals in the six Kanto countries.

Zhao Zheng's promotion was a kind of trust. The generals of the Zhao family promoted by Zhao Zheng naturally had to show their brave side in front of Zhao Zheng. The Qin people were taught badly by the Jin people. In terms of their careful thoughts, strange strategies, and vicious conscience, the Qin people could not catch up with the Jin people for a hundred years. Yang Duan and these people, from the Chu army swept across Bailuyuan and sent cavalry north, vaguely guessed the next plan of the Chu army.

The first strategy they responded was to send a boat army to prevent the Chu army from building bridges on the shoveling water; the second was more important, that was to send a large army, and even the entire army immediately set off the camp and head to Baqiao. The entire army stationed in Baqiao, with its back on Xianyang. The Chu army fought whatever it wanted and fought as much as it wanted.

But there is a problem with doing this: 100,000 Chu troops entered Lantian, and 500,000 Qin troops retreated to the four houses. If such a thing is spread in the future (with Feixun here, it will definitely spread out. At most, the news of the Qin troops retreating to the four houses will be published in the news of the Great Chu and then spread throughout Guandong), it will be ridiculed by the world. The Great Qin is the overlord of the world. How can he be afraid of Chu like a tiger?

Now Qin is lobbying Qi and intimidating Wei, and is constantly increasing its efforts to persuade Zhao, which is surviving. If the Qin army is afraid of the enemy, how can it lobby? How can it intimidate? How can it persuade Zhao?

Some people wanted to cross the river and fight with the Chu army, and would rather die than retreat, while others believed that they should retreat to Baqiao quickly and avoid Sishe.

The Qin army was a long-term battle, good at fighting, and was indeed not very good at tactics, but in this era, its overall mobilization, strategic implementation, logistics supply, and logistics projects were rare, not to mention that the world was not as good as the one in the world, even in the ancient times.

Tactical victory is nothing more than a local victory than a global victory. The advantage of military armor is only an individual advantage rather than an overall advantage. As long as the technological advancement does not form a generation difference, it is mainly cost savings and cannot really determine the outcome of the war. After all, no matter how excellent the tactics, how well military armor, or how advanced the technology is, it will turn into powder in the face of absolute quantity.

The Qin army was good at fighting, and the strategists of the Guowei Mansion were completely qualified. Before the sky was dark, they came up with several plans. One of them was to cross the Ba River and fight the Chu army to a decisive battle, and the other was to retreat to Baqiao and stick to Xianyang. What the generals argued about now is not the details, but the strategy.

Fighting on defense, advancing and retreating, these words are repeated over and over again after several hours. "Han Feizi" once said: "The king has no idea what he wants, and the minister will craft it; the king has no idea what he wants, and the minister will express his own differences." (The monarch should not reveal his desires, the monarch will reveal his desires, and the ministers will embellish himself; the monarch should not reveal his intentions, and the ministers will disguise themselves.)

Han Fei was a great success in the Legalists, and Zhao Zheng firmly believed what Han Fei said. This decision was of great importance. He did not express his intentions at all, but asked his ministers to argue. Through the arguments there, he observed who was talented, incompetent, loyal, and timid.

‘If you are silent and have no position, you will have nothing to find. A wise ruler is inaction above, and a monarch and minister are afraid of the lower...’

(Silent! The monarch does not seem to be on the throne; Liao Kuo! The ministers don’t know where the monarch is. The wise ruler is inaction above and rule, while the ministers are intimidated below.)

Zhao Zheng's attitude completely achieved the effect that Han Fei said. The more the generals in the shogunate were fighting fiercely, and Mars had spurted out from the eyes of Zhao Yang and Yang Duan and the two. If Zhao Zheng had not been in front of him, if Qin Fa was not allowed to be strictly prohibited from fighting, the two would have wanted to fight immediately.

Taking advantage of the brief stop of the controversy, Wei Liao finally bowed to Zhao Zheng: "I advise the king that it is about to enter the state of meditation. I am still undecided. I would like to ask the king to decide what to do."

"Will there be no way to win?" Zhao Zheng remained silent.

"Report to the king, I am not as smart as me." Wei Liao was helpless, and any strategy had shortcomings.

"Yeah." Zhao Zheng just nodded and looked at the generals in the tent. Under his gaze, everyone bowed down. "I have heard that those who are good at planning are not brave, while those who are good at brave are not brave. The Jing people were surprised and entered the plateau..."
