Chapter 81 Who to blame

The next morning, the decisive battle was fought. As the attacking side, the Chu army's reconnaissance cavalry needed to constantly test the reality of the Qin camp. Therefore, such a raid was not only at the gate of the central army, but also at the rest of the Qin camp. The summer days were long and the nights were short. When Xiong Jing woke up the next day, he received news that Zhaocai died in battle.

"Where is the body?" The hand holding the cup shook, and the hot soy milk sprinkled on Xiong Jing's hand, and he was not aware of it.

"It has been taken back by our army." Zhuang Wudi said. "The first military curtain of the Qin people was indeed Jing crossbow. But..."

Every knight is extremely precious, especially a brigade leader like Zhaocai. Zhuang Wudi, who was worried about Xiong Jing's reproach, was a little incoherent, and he put the meaning of reconnaissance in front of him.

"How about that?" Zhaocai had already started a family, and retrieving the body was just a habit. Xiong Jing didn't know what Zhuang Wudi was worried about.

"The war horse has not been recaptured." Zhuang Wudi blinked his eyes, waiting for Xiong Jing's anger.

"Stack..." Xiong Jing's cup was thrown directly on the table and he no longer had the intention to eat.

"I would like to remind the king that the secret of the Jing people's cavalry is this." A pair of stirrups, a pair of high bridge saddles, and four cut horse legs were presented before the Zhao Zhengshi case. After Jing crossbow shot Zhao Cat, the crossbowman had no time to hang the strings, and the Chu knights who followed him into the gate killed the crossbowman. Zhao Cat's death was of no value. If he had not taken the lead, more Chu knights were shot.

The Chu army took back his body, but because he was shot and killed by Jing crossbow during the violent galloping, the stirrup pants were torn apart during the flight backwards, and the person fell off the saddle, and the stirrups were still hung on both sides of the saddle. The gate of the shaft is the entrance and exit. It is Xin Sheng who set up a Jing crossbow inside the shaft. After finally shooting a Chu cavalry general, Xin Sheng discovered the mystery after careful observation.

Zhao Zheng was having a meal and was drinking soy milk. The four horse legs held by Deputy General Xin Sheng made him feel a little disgusted. "What's the secret?"

"The Jing people can shoot or chop horses immediately, which are all the achievements of this thing." Xin Sheng saw that Zhao Zheng still looked down upon him, so he could only say, "If our army also has this thing, there will be no dragon and horse, and he will also defeat the Jing people's cavalry."

"Oh?" Yubushi was shocking and never stopped. Zhao Zheng finally put down his cup and looked at the things that Vice General Xin Sheng was holding.

"This is an iron-footed garment." Xin Sheng pointed to the horseshoe under the horse's hooves. He could not find a suitable word, so he could only call it an iron-footed garment. "This thing is nailed under the hooves, and it will go thousands of miles away, and the horse's hooves will not break or crack."

"Good." Horse hooves are like human nails, but these nails are very thick and large. Doing thick nails will break and crack. For people, they just break their nails. For horses, once their nails break, they cannot run. Zhao Zheng has seen war horses with cracked horses, and many times such horses can only be pulled to slaughter.

"Our army's saddle is flat, the Jing people's saddle is high and raised, and people can't slide in front and back." After saying the horse's sole, Xin Sheng continued to say the saddle and stirrup, "with this thing," he put the stirrup on his leather boots. "The horse's back is bumpy, but these two things can turn the horse's back into flat ground, and the cavalry can stand on the horse, shooting or chopping, which is the foundation of our army's invincibility to defeat the Jing cavalry."

Xin Sheng put his leather boots in the stirrup, and the deputy general put the saddle under his crotch. Zhao Zheng, who had ridden the horse, instantly understood how the two turned the horse's back into flat ground. If the horse's knight does not have the high bridge saddle, the man will move forward and back on the horse's back, and without the stirrup, the man will move left and right. Only when the front, back, left and right can the knight be stable on the horse's back. This stability is extremely important. Now fight immediately. The most important thing is that there is a lack of focus points. Without the saddle stirrup, the knight will move back, back, left and right, and finally fall off the horse.

"This thing is so good?" Zhao Zheng was surprised before, but now he was surprised. He stopped eating and said, "Try it."

Zhao Zheng's mount was also a dragon horse, and the saddle was just right. He sat on the saddle that was still stained with blood and stepped on the stirrup carefully crafted by the Juti Mansion of Yingdu. He rode at first, but finally started running. The fixation brought by the saddle and stirrup made him feel extremely powerful. He pulled out the long sword that was difficult to pull out and slashed and stabbed the horse again and again, which made Zhao Gao and others worried. Such dangerous movements that ignored the center of gravity, if they accidentally fell off the horse, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhao Gao and others were so scared that they closed their eyes. Wei Liao, Zhao Yong, Xin Sheng and others became more and more excited. When the Chu army had not yet had a dragon horse, the cavalry of the army was no match for the Chu army's cavalry. At that time, they thought that those Chu cavalry with superb riding skills were Lou Annoying or Zhao people, but now it seems that they are not. The Chu army really relied on epoch-making improvements in horse harnesses.

The Chu army had less than 10,000 cavalry, while the Qin army had 40,000 cavalry. Forty thousand cavalry had such horse harnesses. It might not be impossible to defeat the Chu cavalry in a battle with the Chu army. However, it is regrettable that the decisive battle will be held tomorrow and the next day. The time is so short that the Qin army has no time to improve the saddle harness.

"This thing is a great good." Zhao Zheng ran in the camp for two quarters of an hour. When he returned to Wang Mu, he was covered in sweat. "Let the craftsmen quickly build horse harnesses. With this horse harness, I can also come to the front of the battle in war to boost morale."

Zhao Zheng ordered everyone to have no objection, but the latter decision shocked everyone.

"My king must not!" Zhao Gao bowed quickly, "Don't block Jing people's witchcraft, if so..."

"Your army is not bad!" Zhao Yong and others also said anxiously. "Our army is waiting for work, and the people of Jing will definitely be defeated. The king may be able to inspire morale before the battle, but if there is any loss, our army will definitely be defeated. If the victory is not maintained, it will be unwise."

"If the king arrives in front of the formation, the Jing people and the witches will shoot the king. I ask the king to make a last order today and tell me who will be able to ascend the throne." Wei Liao naturally opposed Zhao Zheng's visit to the battle formation. Although he did not understand the spiritual world of the nobles, he understood the dark hearts of the common people as well as Shang Yang. If Zhao Zheng died in front of the formation, the Qin army would definitely collapse - this army was not condensed with courage, but was pieced together with power and criminal law. Once Zhao Zheng, who symbolized power, died, the consequences can be imagined.

"You!" Zhao Zheng glared at Wei Liao. Zhao Gao's request and Zhao Yong's advice did not even have the Wei Liao to ask him to establish a crown prince and inherit the throne to attack his confidence. This seemed to be cursing him before the formation, he would undoubtedly die.

"I am planning to the Qin Dynasty, but I only ask the king to make a last order to establish a crown prince." Wei Liao remained indifferent and still wanted Zhao Zheng to establish a crown prince. He did this, and Zhao Yong and others followed suit and asked him to establish a crown prince.

After Fusu was born, the concubines in the palace also helped Zhao Zheng give birth to children, but no matter how many children there were, it was useless because they were all prisoners of the Chu army. Wei Liao was extremely worried that the Chu people would use the concubines, princes, and family members led by the Qin army in the palace, but unfortunately the Chu people were too stupid and did not expect this level, which made him feel relieved.

"Hmph!" The ministers made an unrealistic but extremely reasonable request. Zhao Zheng glared at Wei Liao fiercely, waved his sleeves and snorted back to Wang Mu. Of course, this was to give up the idea of ​​going to the front of the formation. After he left, the generals turned around and bowed to Wei Liao: "The National Guard's plan is good!"

"The king is brave and brave, I can't wait." Wei Liao was covered in sweat, and he was frightened by Zhao Zheng's glance.

"If the king is lost, the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed." Zhao Yong knew the consequences of Zhao Zheng's personal battle, so he bowed to Wei Liao again. However, Wei Liao's suggestion to Zhao Zhengli Prince made him think of Fusu and the young princes in the Xianyang Palace. They were all in Xianyang City and became prisoners of the Chu people.

"Uncle, uncle..." Under the morning sun, Zhao Yong looked at Xianyang City, Weibei, and in the Liuying Palace, Fusu was looking at Xiong Jing with huge armor all over his body. Braveness is a man's nature. He was both envious and afraid of Xiong Jing with huge armor all over his body, and could not speak in his tongue.

"That is, men should like swords." Xiong Jing looked at the nephew who would be the King of Qin in the future, and his heart moved. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and handed it to him. "Remember! Be sure to protect your mother."

"Brother Wang..." Mi Qian doesn't like swords and has been disgusting with war since she was a child. She doesn't like Fusu to touch the armor and armor. But Fusu snatched the dagger from Xiong Jing's hand before her, and she couldn't let go of her subordinates pulling out the short blade.

"Why are there wars in the world?!" The elder dared not refuse. Mi Qian let Fusu take the dagger and sighed.

"Why shouldn't there be a war?" Xiong Jing looked at her strangely. Then he felt relieved. How could a woman who loves to read poetry like war? "Life is precious, is death not expensive?" he asked. "Millions of generals and soldiers, dozens of miles of battle formations, covering the sky and the earth, and then fighting, wars, wars, huge oars and strong crossbows, the victory or defeat of the two armies depends on a moment, and the survival of the family and country is determined at a moment. Who doesn't yearn for a dignified man?"

Xiong Jing depicts a grand picture of war, and the scene he saw after leaving Wangchuan was deeply engraved in his heart.

"How about the common people?" Mi Qian was very compassionate. It was this kind of pity that supported her marrying into Qin and apologizing to Xiong Jing as a queen. "Every time I fight with the family, my family and wealth were destroyed, nine out of ten families were empty, and I attacked the city and the city, and countless dead..."

"Who is it blamed?" Xiong Jing asked back. "The military affairs have nothing to do with the common people, but Duke Mu wants to take over the three hundred savages."

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were differences between Chinese savages. The savages were not savages who ate raw meat and drank blood, but colonized people who had no political status. Duke Mu of Qin lost his horse and was eaten by the savages. Duke Mu of Qin did not punish him and gave him wine after discovering it. In the future, the savages repay their kindness and rescued Duke Mu of Qin from the siege of the Jin army.

In the eyes of later generations, this is a story of gratitude, but at this point Xiong Jing saw that the rituals collapsed and music were worse than Bai Qi killing 450,000 Zhao soldiers. The savages had no right to participate in the war, and Qin Mugong accidentally led them to join the war. After these savages rescued Qin Mugong from the encirclement, they became the people of Qin, setting a precedent for savages to participate in the war.

"What do you mean by Brother Wang?" Mi Qian seemed to know Xiong Jing for the first time.

"The four seasons become the year, and everything is common, but people's compassion and kindness lead to misconduct, so living people eventually kill people, but saving the world will destroy the world. So who is the blame?" Xiong Jing said, and after saying that, he stroked Fusu's head, walked out of the western room, and a grand battle was about to begin.
