Chapter 303: Defending Against the Enemy (1)

Qin Shi Huang, Wei Yan, Xue Shisan, Chun Yu Wanyun, and Leng Bingshuang were ordered by Zheng Shuang to lead 1,400 Iron Falcon troops to leave Tokyo and march towards Baimajin, the crossing of the Yellow River.

The people led by Wei Sheng, Wei Chun, Wei Feng and Ma Yueming, the prefect of Huazhou, used Weihe to block Empress Dowager Xiao's 30,000 troops for 2 days and then retreated to Liyangdu.

Liyangdu is also called Liyangjin on the north bank of the Yellow River, and Baimadu is also called Baimajin on the south bank of the Yellow River; If Qin Shi Huang and the others were in a hurry, they would meet Wei Sheng and them on the pontoon bridge of the Yellow River.

However, the common people along the Baimadu learned that the Liao army was about to invade Tokyo, and fled with their families and mouths; The main road is already overcrowded.

Qin Shi Huang groaned for a while and ordered the Iron Falcon army to dismount and move slowly; Xue Shisan said to the side: "General Xue is the founding father of the Great Song Dynasty, and those defenders on the bank of the Yellow River will have your subordinates if they can't get it right; When you explained to them in the past, you seriously pacified the people, and said that the Liao army would not cross the river; The Iron Falcon Army will definitely stop the Khitan soldiers on the north bank of the Yellow River! ”

Seeing that Qin Shihuang was like this, Xue Shisan clasped his hands into fists and bowed and said, "The old minister obeys the order, and he must let the defenders do a good job of pacifying the people!" ”

Zheng Shuang was not in the army, Qin Shi Huang became the commander, and he was appointed by Zheng Shuang as the chief military division of the Iron Falcon Army; The position is below Zheng Shuang, and it is appropriate for him to preside over military affairs in the absence of the commander.

Xue Shisan was the general staff of the Iron Falcon Army, ranking in the face of Qin Shi Empress; Naturally, they had to obey Qin Shi Huang's arrangement.

Speaking of which, children will definitely think of "Water Margin", why did Shi Nai'an rank the heroes of Liangshan? Although it was a bandit army, after all, if you want to march and fight, you must have a unified command when you march and fight; The first order of the seats, the low ranks, obey the command of the high ranks, and the chapters are smoothly completed.

Zheng Shuang is a doctor of medicine, and his usual hobby is to drill into history and the art of war; After the formation of the Iron Falcon Army, it was natural to consider the issue of ranking, and only then did Qin Shi Huang be placed in the position of the chief military division.

Qin Shi Huang is the chief military division, and there are naturally sub-military divisions and quasi-military divisions below; Chun Yu Wanyun is the chief pharmacist of the Iron Falcon Army, and she can be resourceful; It is also very qualified to be a class of military divisions.

Chun Yu Wanyun sat behind the screen with Liu E at the court meeting that day, and from beginning to end the dialogues, debates, and disputes between the ministers and the emperor were all in her ears.

Chun Yu Wanyun was very happy about the victory of the main battle faction on Kou Zhun's side, but Liu E's attitude was very ambiguous.

In particular, he was even more unhappy with Kou Zhun's admonition that Wang Qinruo sentenced the Tianxiong Army, but he did not object to Song Zhenzong's bold use of Zheng Shuang and Yang Yanzhao.

Seeing this, Chun Yu Wanyun grabbed Liu E's hand tightly and grinned: "Sister, let the man take care of the man's affairs, our sisters still think more about the emperor's heirs!" ”

Chun Yu Wanyun said and fixed her mind: "Didn't my sister send Li Lanhui to the emperor?" If you can't figure it out, Li Lanhui is already pregnant with the dragon seed, so let's discuss the issue of how to raise the prince! ”

Liu E was stunned, hugged Chun Yu Wanyun tightly in her arms and said: "Sister, you want to go with E'er, E'er wants to tell her sister such a thing, it's a rare encounter; I didn't expect my sister to pierce this layer of window paper, it's good! Amitabha! ”

Liu E and Chun Yu Wanyun went to Zichen Palace in an endless fantasy, and Chun Yu Wanyun returned to the Iron Falcon Army camp with Xue Shisan.

The temporary barracks of the Iron Falcon Army was arranged by Kou Zhun, an old barracks abandoned by the forbidden army in Oil Gourd Lane; All the facilities of the Yau Hulu Lane barracks were completed, and the Iron Falcon Army had a place to eat, feed the horses, and drill after being stationed.

Chun Yu Wanyun and Xue Shisan stayed in the military camp in Youhulu Lane for two days, and rushed to Baimajin in Huaxian County with Qin Shi Huang; Seeing him say this to Xue Shisan; volunteered: "Brother Shadow, the slave family will go with Brother Xue!" ”

Qin Shi Huang laughed loudly, and looked at Chun Yu Wanyun and Xue Shisan sarcastically: "You husband and wife are really carrots that don't sell in small quantities!" ”

After a pause, he looked at Sun Jincao, Ye Lingfang, Shi Lidan, and Renduo Xuelian on the other side and said to Xue Shisan: "The old brother of the old cow who eats tender grass takes care of Chunyu Niangniang, and the four little ladies over there must be jealous!" ”

"you!" Xue Shisan said to Qin Shi Huang and said: "You are the first emperor of the ages, and you are saying such words without salt and vinegar!" ”

The two laughed a few times, and Xue Shisan and Chun Yu Wanyun went; Wei Yan grinned and said, "Big Brother Shadow should pay attention to your identity, you are the first emperor of the ages after all!" ”

"Hammer!" Qin Shi Huang joked: "The shadow is the first emperor through the ages, it is the Year of the Ox and the Year of the Horse!" The hero didn't mention the courage of the year, and now he still mentions what he is doing! ”

Qin Shi Huang is the first emperor of the ages, but he is now the chief military division of the Iron Falcon Army; Some children may not believe it and say that it is apocryphal.

The problem is that Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor of the ages from 221 to 207 BC, which is 1225 years after the first year of Jingde of Song Zhenzong (1004 AD); He is now reborn, that is, Zheng Shuang woke him and Wei Yan up after obtaining the jade butterfly in the wormhole, and beckoned him to come over to do things for the Great Song Dynasty; Let him be the chief military division of the Iron Falcon Army, and he will also make the best use of his talents.

Xue Shisan and Chun Yu Wanyun walked together towards the garrison camp on the bank of the Yellow River, and Qin Shi Huang saw that the two were drifting apart; said to Wei Yan: "Brother Wei, we have been walking for most of the day; It's better to let the soldiers rest on the spot, drink saliva and eat something to be at the bottom! ”

"Okay!" Wei Yan replied: "Big Brother Shadow is right, Old Wei will convey your military order immediately!" ”

Wei Yan said as he gave the command of the fourteen teams an order to rest in place and replenish their nutrition; The soldiers of the Iron Eagle Army immediately took off the dried meat, pot helmets, and kettles from their saddles, and sat down on a place, eating and drinking.

The Iron Falcon Army's convenient way of eating was made by the chief manager Pu Dexiu according to Zheng Shuang's instructions.

Zheng Shuang said that this quick way of eating was invented by the Mongolians, and we might as well follow suit.

Zheng Shuang said, and told Pu Dexiu about the courage of the Mongols in conquering Eurasia and coming and going without a trace.

Of course, Pu Dexiu didn't know what he was talking about, Zheng Shuang had an idea and said that he had a dream; I dreamed that the logistics of a cavalry unit were supplied like this: one soldier and three horses, one horse, one pack and one mare, a mare disembarking and milking the horses for the soldiers to drink.

Pu Dexiu listened attentively, and Zheng Shuang said that the Iron Falcon Army had to do the same; We can't achieve one soldier and three horses, but one soldier and one horse, the convenient meal form of eating jerky and pot helmets can be fully guaranteed.

The Iron Falcon Army could not follow the snail tactic of the Han soldiers, where the army did not arrive before the grain and grass arrived; Instead, the soldiers were asked to bring their own food - enough pot helmets and dried meat for half a month.

Of course, bringing your own food does not mean that you will not unify your meal, and once there is no war, you can fight the army to make corrections; Then set up camp and improve the food.

This is how Pu Dexiu prepared before the Iron Falcon Army set off, and he brought a group of people all over Tokyo City to buy dried meat and have the merchants burn their stoves overnight.

Wei Yan led people to several weapons workshops in the capital to select weapons such as strong bows and crossbows, arrow clusters, thunderbolt fireballs, watermelon cannons, earth-shaking thunder, Weiyuan stone cannons, and bronze fire guns.

After all the preparations before the march were in place, the army marched out of the city under the command of Qin Shi Huang.

Not far in front is Baimajin, where soldiers sit on the ground and eat pot helmets and chew dried meat for dinner; Wei Yan spread a white cloth on the ground and put the food he was carrying on it to drink with Qin Shi Huang and Pu Dexiu.

Wei Yan took a bite of the half-thick pot helmet and chewed it and said to Qin Shi Huang: "Brother Shadow, your Qin State's general, General Bai Qi, killed 400,000 soldiers of Zhao State in the Battle of Changping; It's not far from Hakumajin! ”

Qin Shi Huang chewed on the dried meat, stared at a military map spread out on the ground, and said: "Baimajin is also Baimadu, which is more than 400 miles away from the main battlefield of the Battle of Changping!" ”

Wei Yan said "oh" and said: "Brother Shadow, can you tell me why Bai Qi wanted to kill 400,000 Zhao soldiers at that time!" ”

Qin Shi Huang sighed and said, "It's up to me! ”

After a pause, he calmed down and told the specific content of the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping.

Bai Qi, a generation of war gods, established his historical status in one fell swoop with the Battle of Changping, but the killing of 400,000 soldiers of Zhao also attracted criticism for him.

So, in the face of so many descendants, Bai Qi did this on purpose to deter other countries that were enemies of the Qin State? Or is there no way for him to kill and surrender?

This issue is still a topic of debate among military experts.

In fact, in ancient times, in the face of surrender, killing and surrendering was definitely not the best way; But it is the best choice to kill and surrender in the battle of Baiqi Changping.

Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? How can you say that killing and surrendering is not the best choice, but it has become the best solution on Bai Qi's side? The problem is that you have to peel off the bamboo shoots layer by layer!

In ancient wars, the military strength of a country, in addition to whether the military equipment was sophisticated, was largely due to the number of young and strong personnel in the army.

The battle of Changping, the number of personnel invested by Qin and Zhao is undoubtedly huge, what is the reason why the two countries almost poured the strength of the whole country into the battle!

This has to be said that at that time, after the reform of several generations of kings, the national strength of the Qin State had gradually become stronger; And after the reform of King Wuling of Zhao, the national strength of Zhao was much higher than that of other countries.

Originally, Qin and Zhao were also at peace, but the change of ownership in one place led to the subsequent Battle of Changping; This place is the Shangdang of South Korea.

Qin attacked South Korea, and South Korea knew that it was invincible to Qin, so cut the land and sue for peace; So he dedicated the party to the Qin State.

However, the supreme governor of Shangdang at that time did not know what the purpose was, but he gave the land of Shangdang to Zhao Guo.

In a word, South Korea wanted to provoke a war between Qin and Zhao......
