Chapter 129: Counting is Counting
"You old immortal, I really want to throw you into the infected crowd and let you eat and live with them!"
"I want to, but are you willing?" Tang Zhiyuan was still lying like that, picked up a purple clay pot placed on the stone table, and poured tea into his mouth.
"You're not a big girl, why should I be reluctant?"
"Is it already starting to be unbearable over there?" Tang Zhiyuan didn't look like he usually had nothing to do with himself, but this person's mind was delicate, and he had already smelled that long-lost breath.
"You old fox, I can't hide anything from you!"
The two of them are old friends, and Chen Fan has no need to hide it from Tang Zhiyuan, he took out a paper tube from his sleeve and threw it to Tang Zhiyuan.
Tang Zhiyuan picked up the paper tube, browsed it quickly, his brows wrinkled imperceptibly, then sighed, and said slowly: "The commander of the seven countries is not very good!"
"You have said this point, the Seven Kingdoms were originally a loose alliance, and this time they came together with common interests, who is not guarding against each other!"
"I don't believe it, you don't have a way to deal with the Seven Nations Alliance, this time, the pressure we have received is very great, although we claim to be 200,000 troops, but you know the details of ourselves!" Tang Zhiyuan was helpless when he said this.
The national strength of Qi is strong, but now there are constant internal contradictions, if it weren't for the full help of Chen Fan's people from the Hanging Mirror Division, I am afraid that Tang Zhiyuan would have to take people to quell the chaos.
There is also the problem of logistics, if you want to feed 200,000 soldiers and horses, the population required is 600,000, and the total population of Qi is only more than 1 million. This is a difficult task, the war has been going on for more than half a year, and both sides have reached the end of the crossbow.
"There is a way, but if this method is implemented, I am afraid that you and I will be impeached by the Congress!" Chen Fan's worries are not unreasonable, if it really causes a big scuffle, I am afraid that the Qi country will also suffer great damage.
Dealing with the Seven Nations Alliance, Chen Fan was contrary to the ideas of the upper echelons of the Qi State.
Now the entire high-level Qi State is thinking about how to withdraw troops from the front line, in the past six months, Qi has reaped a lot of benefits, and now is a good time to withdraw troops, but in Chen Fan's view, only by completely defeating the Seven Nations Alliance can Qi give Qi a chance to breathe.
Beat them all at once!
Chen Fan had already sent people to snipe several groups of messengers from the royal capital.
At this rate, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the people in the Senate will send a presidential envoy, and if the presidential envoy is killed again, the Hanging Mirror Division will no longer be able to clear its name!
Although, the current national policy of Qi is to unify the seven countries and add you a unified country, but this national policy has deviated from his original intention at the beginning.
There is no specific timetable for the unification of Qi State, in the past, when Shi Tianhua had not yet retired, the entire Qi Country still had a backbone that could be said to be one and the same, but now it is different, and the Senate quarrels with the people in the House of Representatives every day.
The people in the House of Representatives wanted to end the war as soon as possible so that production could develop quickly, while the Senate advocated taking it slowly and eating it little by little.
This kind of war is dispensable for the Senate, and the current Qi country is the first big country, even if it does not fight with foreign countries, it can maintain the strength of a great power, and there is no need to worry about foreign hostile forces.
Tang Zhiyuan represents the Senate, while Chen Fan represents the House of Representatives.
The two people have different views on the war at all, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them are chained together now, I'm afraid Tang Zhiyuan wouldn't have attacked.
"A lot of times, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it!" Tang Zhiyuan thought for a long time before he said what he thought.
"What is fast and what is slow? If someone in the entire alliance of the Seven Nations also carries the smallpox virus, will we have to close up without a fight?" Chen Fancai didn't believe that the Seven Kingdoms would do this kind of thing that hurt a thousand enemies and damaged eight hundred themselves, and they must have the antidote.
Tang Zhiyuan was grateful to Chen Fan in the depths of his heart, but for this young man, he would be a little unconvinced.
How can a young man in his twenties be so belligerent? Can't he live his life in peace?
Although he didn't say it, Tang Zhiyuan was already a little unhappy in his heart.
"Boom!"
There was a violent vibration on the ground, Tang Zhiyuan and Chen Fan turned over at the same time, the two of them listened carefully for a while, and then rushed out of the door together.
Chen Fan knew that the Seven Nations Alliance was going to attack, but the specific time was not very clear.
But the sound of the vibration just now was definitely the sound of a large number of horses running over the ground, and the Seven Nations Alliance finally moved.
Chen Fan and Tang Zhiyuan must come to their jobs as soon as possible.
By the time they arrived at the front line, the people of Qi had long been ready to meet the enemy, and a kilometer away from the side of the infantry, there were all kinds of things, there were horse rejection stakes, and all kinds of things to prevent the cavalry from charging quickly.
The 30,000 vanguard troops led by Tang Zhiyuan were all infantry, and there was no cavalry, because they wanted to attack the city, so they led cavalry at all.
Therefore, when these 30,000 people faced the opponent's cavalry, they could only make this defensive posture.
"Where did they get so many cavalry?" Tang Zhiyuan looked at the black tide, the Seven Nations Alliance troops rushing towards his side, his face was very ugly.
It was too late to retreat now, and their infantry had already begun to clear the obstacles in front of them.
"Archer!"
An adjutant general ran back and forth in front of the army, shouting.
There's no way they're going to let the people of the Seven Kingdoms lift the obstacles easily!
Two thousand archers had already filled their bows.
"Put!"
Two thousand arrows that had just been made by the Seven Kingdoms were like locusts, drawing a parabola, and fell on the heads of those unfortunate people.
From here, you can see the advantages and disadvantages of these people.
The people who cleared the obstacles on the front line were all the people of Wu State, and these people were forced to come and die.
Behind the people are the soldiers.
The archers of 2,000 men can shoot a total of three rounds, and they must rest, such a bow is not the same as the beginning, the improved bow is too hard, only three times, and the soldiers need to rest for half an hour before they can fight again.
Three rounds, six thousand arrows, had already shot those people to the ground, but the other side had cleared a large area where the cavalry could pass through.
Seeing these people wailing on the ground, Sun Wei's heart trembled, this is the living force of Wu State, and it was used up so easily.
