Chapter 65: Pulling

Chen Rui rushed out of the camp and came to the place where the Qin army was resting, and even announced in front of the generals that he did not need to set up camp and lived directly in the camp.

Naturally, they had no objection to this, Chen Rui led an army of 30,000 directly to the camp, this black torrent was sonorous and powerful, as if the ground had caused a small vibration, it was difficult not to attract attention, many unknown soldiers tightened their weapons in their hands, rushed to the outside of the tent, and looked in the direction where the sound came from with a vigilant face.

When he saw the red Qin character in the many black and gold-edged dragon patterns, the color of vigilance disappeared and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still looked at this Qin army with curiosity in his eyes, thinking about what they were doing here.

They were still full of curiosity about the Qin army, one of the most elite armies of the Chu State.

However, when they were stunned when they walked into the camp together, and before everyone was puzzled, a news spread among the army.

"Have you heard, this Qin army belongs to our vanguard general, and it wants to join forces with us."

"Huh? Our vanguard general, General Qin Army? ”

"I don't know about this until his name is Chen Rui, and he is a vanguard general appointed by His Majesty."

"Oh! Most of them are generals of the Qin army, otherwise why would they command so many Qin troops? ”

……

Regardless of the various eyes, Chen Rui directly found the chief who was guarding the camp gate and asked him to lead them directly to those empty tents.

Although these tents are set up in no order, there is still no big problem with the people, Chen Rui is still quite satisfied, anyway, he is not living in it, and after directly instructing the six Lang generals to arrange the soldiers under his hands, he will go directly to his big tent.

Even if Pang Xiong has bad intentions towards him, but Pang Xiong still doesn't criticize him for his living environment, the independent big tent, the front is divided, the inside is separated by a screen, and a big bed sleeps people, simple and practical.

How to say that there are still two thousand elite soldiers given by Pang Xiong, and I don't know if it is the elite as he said, but whether it is elite or not, if they are obedient, he can also save their lives, if it is yang and yin, then he will directly let them be cannon fodder.

Chen Rui directly instructed the soldiers guarding outside the account: "Call the generals of the vanguard battalion to discuss the matter." ”

"Yes."

After a while, four big men came together, and when they saw Chen Rui in the battle, a different color flashed in their eyes, and they didn't know whether to marvel at his youth or have other thoughts.

"Meet the General." A few people saluted.

Chen Rui looked at a few people and asked, "Generals, what do you call them?" ”

"The last general, He Yongchang."

"The last general, Li Zhi."

"The last general, Feng Fan."

"The end will be closed."

Several people said from left to right.

Chen Rui nodded knowingly, and said: "My surname is Chen, you can call me General Chen, you can also call me Chen Gongzi, you can call me whatever you want, but there is one thing you remember for me, if you work under my account, you have to listen to me, if I find out that anyone eats inside and outside and disobeys my military order, I will never be soft." ”

"You also saw the 30,000 Qin troops just now, yes, they are all my own soldiers, so for me, it makes no difference with you and without you, if there is something about you that disagrees with me, you have to be careful of the head on your neck."

Several generals changed their expressions, exchanged glances with each other, and then responded "yes" in unison.

Chen Rui waved his hand and said, "Go down!" Train the soldiers well, and don't slack off. ”

"Yes."

After a few people walked out of the tent, Chen Rui withdrew his gaze and fell into deep thought.

These people are all lowest-ranking generals, partial generals.

The state of Chu adopted a conscription system, with five people as a captain, ten people as a chief, one hundred people as the right, five hundred people as partial generals, one thousand people as miscellaneous generals, five thousand people as left and right generals, 10,000 people as Zhonglang generals, more than 20,000 people as a battalion, and a three-rank general.

The six generals of the Qin army are all left and right generals, each leading 5,000 people, Mu Huwei should also be the general of the first battalion of Zhengsanpin, as for why he can command the 50,000 army, it should be temporarily let by the king of Qin.

After brushing his thoughts, Chen Rui rested on the couch, and after the meal was served, Zhang Ning walked in with a brief meal, there was nothing to be picky about the food in the army in this era, and he was not unable to eat coarse tea and light rice, leaving Zhang Ning to eat together.

The next day, the army set out, stretching for dozens of miles, with infantry in the majority, a small number of cavalry, which is also a helpless thing, Chu State does not produce war horses, so it is impossible to form a large-scale cavalry.

In the face of the cavalry-dominated Liang country, generally take a defensive strategy, which is also a very helpless thing, the field cavalry has an absolute advantage in the face of infantry, after all, the cavalry battlefield mobility is very strong, often can be taken by surprise, can be dragged by a small number of infantry frontally, cavalry impact flank or back.

In the face of thousands of cavalry charges, mentally weak infantry are often frightened into losing their armor and crushing.

Even if the cavalry charge was well restrained by the pikes and crossbows, the mobility of the cavalry was there, and even if they were victorious, it would be difficult to inflict large-scale damage on them.

This is also one of the reasons why the state of Chu did not want to expand its territory at its peak, and it was difficult to bargain too much for the restraint of the troops. And the infantry of the Wei State was not weaker than the Chu State in any way, and it was not a wise move to attack from the Wei State.

Of course, if it is only cavalry, the infantry is not impossible to deal with, but if it is cavalry, it will be even more troublesome, and it will become a live target and be consumed to death.

Fortunately, Chu did not border with Zhao, because Zhao occupied a large grassland, and could recruit good archers in the grassland tribes.

However, Zhao State borders Liang State and Yan State, Liang State has Western Liang Iron Cavalry, Yan State also has Northern Yan Iron Cavalry, and the Northern Yan people are fierce and not afraid of death, so even if Zhao State has a large number of good archers and horse archers, it is not too cheap in the hands of these two countries.

Wei is also like Chu, there are few cavalry, but ordinary bows and crossbows can't hurt Wei's ironclad army, Zhao's cavalry can't help them, and Wei's ironclad can't help them.

The only state of Chu that was restrained by the cavalry of the Zhao State did not border it.

The marching speed of such a large army is naturally not fast, and it will take seventy or eighty miles a day to set up camp, so even if the border of Xiangzhou to Xiangcheng is only a short two hundred miles, it will take three days.

However, in the past three days, Chen Rui's 30,000 Qin troops have all set up camp by themselves, and Pang Xiong is obviously not so kind.

It didn't matter, they had plenty of supplies anyway.

However, to Chen Rui's surprise, there was no conflict between the two armies, you know, the temper of the people in the army is not small, and the two armies belonging to different armies together are the most likely to clash.

I don't know if it's because of the prestige of the Qin army.
