With a casualty ratio of 50,000 to 80,000, Zhao Xing's Tang army faced the Qin army of the tiger wolf in the world for the first time and fought a heavy victory.

Such a big victory did not bring joy to Zhao Xing's big tent, and people summed up the enemy with a solemn face.

Xu Jie stood tall and saw far away at that time, and said with a solemn face: "Seeing the strong crossbow of the Qin people, I still have a feeling of palpitations, if it weren't for the surprise of our Poxi army and annihilating them at once, our losses would not be able to bear under such a blow." ”

Mo Lao, a craftsman with the Mo family and the current director of the Ministry of Industry, also fiddled with a crossbow arrow: "The crossbow arrows of the Qin people are not terrible, but what is terrible is their standardized and assembly-line production capacity. This time they lost 20,000 pairs of such expensive crossbows, which, according to the other princes, could make them unable to build a strong crossbow army for two or three years. But according to the production process of the Qin people, a strong crossbow army can be built in half a year at most. When the time comes, we will be hit by them again, and we have to guard against it. ”

Datang's weapon manufacturing has been standardized, streamlined, and semi-mechanized, and Mo Lao understands the crossbow arrows of the Qin people at a glance, so he is worried.

Zhao Hao also said: "The power of the Qin people's chariot soldiers is really huge, they are not only flexible, but also all of them are dragged by excellent war horses, which can completely eliminate the speed advantage of our iron cavalry." The most important thing is that their command flexibility is simply breathtaking, and the chariots of the Qin people will be the biggest enemy of our cavalry in the future. ”

Zhao Xing nodded, agreeing with this statement, because he knew that the Qin people were able to unify the world by sweeping Liuhe through the best cooperation of infantry, chariots, and cavalry, so that no matter whether they were ancient or new, they were able to play the role of cooperation to the greatest extent.

Zhao Wujian had to summarize his feelings with a look of admiration: "The strength of the Qin army's foot soldiers is really the only one in the world, we relied on their crossbowmen and fire men to disrupt their front and directly attack. As a result, with the best equipment in the world, we can still only compete with them, and this victory is actually a fluke. ”

Yes, the commanders and generals of all branches of the armed forces have a common perception of this disastrous victory - luck. This is the first time that Datang has faced the Qin army, and on the Poxi army and the iron cavalry, the enemy is at a loss for a while, so there is this lucky victory. And once the enemy masters the way of fighting on his side, the state of equipment, and the next battle, will it be so lucky?

"Forget it, the summary of the enemy, and the summary of ourselves, here first, because the whole battle is not over, and we still need to continue."

"The king is right, yes, although the king of Qin was defeated, his main force was still there, and he retreated safely to the front line of the old Great Wall with at least 110,000 remaining main forces. They have gained a foothold there, and we should take advantage of his vital wounds to continue our assault on him, and seize their first Great Wall for our use, and become the first line of defense for our entire Hetao region, so as to achieve our war objectives. Xu Jie immediately entered the role of joining the army and began to tell the development of the entire campaign.

Zhao Xing was a little embarrassed: "We continue to attack them, but we are actually reluctant to make it difficult. Qin people are old **** people, **** don't understand? That's what they mean when all of them are soldiers. Moreover, the people of the Qin State have gone through hundreds of years of war, and almost all of them are the best soldiers. Under their system of rewarding military merits, they fought very bravely.

They lost sixty or seventy thousand people this time, and the wounded were about thirty or forty thousand, if this was placed in other vassal states, it should be a great loss of vitality and a decline in national strength, but on the people of Qin, it could be replenished in a blink of an eye, and they could continue to fight tenaciously. ”

At this point, everyone knows that the war potential of the Qin people is huge, and their own Datang is really incomparable with others.

"Our current population is only more than 3 million, and our founding strategy determines that we will need to put a large number of young and strong labor into factories in all walks of life. We now have an army of 200,000, which we would never be able to afford without the tax revenues from the factories. Even if it is like Zhao Guo, it can't be like us, almost 10 people have to feed one soldier, which limits our follow-up source of soldiers, this is the current situation of our Datang. Qin Mo, who was in charge of logistics, carefully explained his current predicament in Datang.

Zhao Xing continued to suffer: "This time we also lost nearly 50,000 soldiers killed and wounded, but we have almost no follow-up soldiers, and in the face of the main force of 110,000 Qin troops, as the main attack, in principle, we have no chance of winning." ”

In ancient times, the strength of one attacking side was at least twice that of the other side in order to be invincible. Now that the two sides are on par, and the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is really strong, it is really a little slim to complete the combat goals set by themselves.

So the whole tent was full of frustration and sighs.

"But." Zhao Xing raised his head: "However, the current Qin army doesn't know our confidence, so we must make a bluff posture and attack them, attack, and attack again." ”

Xu Jie nodded in agreement: "It is very necessary for us to launch a bluff attack on the enemy. Only in this way can we cover up our weakness, otherwise the whole country will know about our condition, and if they give us a counterattack, it will be a disaster for us. ”

This is where the most critical problem lies, if the Qin people urgently recruit 100,000 people to join the army again and launch a counterattack against themselves, the Tang army will be absolutely difficult to parry, not only will all the results achieved in the early stage be lost, but it is also likely to be burned.

Qin Mo pondered for a while: "Your Majesty, with the relationship between your monarch and Zhao Guojun, can we ask Zhao Guo to send troops to help?" Then he reminded carefully: "This is the only time in recent years that we have defeated the Qin army, encompassing the entire Hetao, and there should be a chance to recover the fief of the king." ”

This is the key to the key, Qin Mo's foresight.

Zhao Xing was silent, he was thinking.

Although he was forced out by Zhao Guojun's ministers, the relationship between himself and Zhao Yong did not break down because of this. But if he opens his mouth to borrow troops from Zhao, can Zhao Guoren agree?

They are more likely not to say yes.

The reason is that the pit I dug for myself was too big, and unconsciously, I buried myself.

The plan I set for myself and Xiao Zhao Yong was to be a good teacher and teach Zhao Yong to become a generation of emperors who unified the world. For this reason, the entire Zhao State is working hard for this grand goal. In recent years, the monarchs and ministers of Zhao have been fighting for this goal, and they have regarded all the princes in the world as enemies.

And when they forced themselves to leave, they had already identified themselves as their competitors in the world of domination.

And in this kind of life change, he was pushed step by step to the position of dominating the world, and he was already Zhao Guo's natural opponent. In the bottleneck of their own development, borrowing troops to help themselves is equivalent to cultivating the biggest competitor in the world. Even a fool can't do such a thing.

This is not a breakdown in the relationship between two people, but a fundamental question about who will control the world in the future. Is it necessary to ask for this for no fun?

Zhao Xing continued to sigh painfully, life, what a fucking dog.

Shaking his head, he threw away these somewhat unrealistic ideas: "That's all a shadowless thing, let's not mention him first, our top priority now is to bluff and continue to attack before the people of the Qin State understand it." Then he looked at the south: "Le Yi, I hope you will not live up to my expectations and put pressure on the enemy in the south, so that the Qin people cannot reinforce the northern defense line, so that I can maximize the results of the war." ”
