The bloody news reached Xianyang, and so many words were beyond the transmission ability of Qin-style Feixun, and they had to be sent into Guanzhong by post horses. It's just that this urgent letter did not reach Xianyang, and when passing through Yingchuan County, he was intercepted by the Koreans who were haunting the mountains and forests along with the post horse. After tossing and turning, the urgent book was first transmitted to the Yingdu Da Sima Mansion, and then to Xiong Jing's hands. At this time, he was already in Nanyang Wancheng.

From the attack on Guanzhong to the withdrawal of the whole army from Guanzhong, it was about fifteen days, and the soldiers of Chu jokingly called Guanzhong a half-moon tour. In this battle, he pulled out the capital of Qin, burned the ancestral temple of the Qin people and the Zheng Dynasty, and then defeated more than 600,000 Qin troops, and then chased the king of Qin to Fengshui, and finally returned triumphantly. This can be regarded as a miraculous feat, and the Qin State has never suffered such a heavy blow since the founding of the country.

The soldiers were proud of this, but the Great Sima Mansion and the generals of the divisions led the strategists but did not have the slightest joy. Dou Yu Pheasant believed that the Battle of Guanzhong was a complete failure, and the biggest failure was that he did not kill more than 300,000 Qin soldiers; Zhuang Wudi's strategists also believed that the battle in Guanzhong was basically a failure, and the biggest failure was that they did not capture the king of Qin; Xiong Jing also felt that this was a failed battle, but he couldn't say exactly where it failed.

The entry operation basically failed, and the rescue of Zhao will also face failure. Li Xin's urgent letter stated that the Qin state, or at least the Qin generals, had seen the importance of Handan. Handan was pulled, and the Chu army would face two large armies, Li Xin and Wang Jian. On his own side, after losing these 100,000 people, Wei has completely lost its combat effectiveness; The 200,000 Qi army led by Xiang Yan was defeated, and the Jixi army that attacked Dongjun had stopped advancing.

"Don't think it......" Xiong Jing didn't ask what it was, this is not a problem that Zhuang Wudi can solve. …… When Hui Yingdu once. ”

"Great King," the intercepted anxious scholar Zhuang Wudi also looked at it, and he could probably guess why Xiong Jing had returned to Ying. "I thought I couldn't save Zhao."

"Why?" Xiong Jing looked at him, and he remembered that Zhuang Wudi had opposed saving Zhao from the beginning.

"Our army is running out of strength." Zhuang Wudi looked at Dou Yu Pheasant, and Dou Yu Pheasant also nodded slightly. "Li Xin doesn't fight with me, if I divide my troops to save Zhao, he will attack me again. And the king does not forget Guanzhong, Guanzhong Meng Tian, Yang Duan monk has 200,000 soldiers, if our army divides troops to rescue Zhao, these 200,000 people will go out of Wuguan and enter Fangcheng. ”

Li Xin has 400,000 people, and Guanzhong Meng Tian and Yang Duanhe have 200,000 people, or even more than 200,000 people. The Chu army entered Yingchuan County and even Sanchuan County to the north, and the Qin army in Guanzhong was bound to storm Shangluo and Wuguan in an attempt to attack Fangcheng from the west. Only when the Chu army sits in Fangcheng can it form a balance with the Qin army, but the price of this balance is to let Handan be uprooted by Wang Jian and the Zhao State will perish.

"Don't!" Xiong Jing shook his head again and again, he didn't want this kind of ending. "What about the old soldiers?"

"If you don't have three months to half a year, it's not usable." Dou Yu Pheasant knew very well about the soldiers recruited by Jiuying, and if the Ao clan had already taken Biyang, Huyang, Chongqiu and other places under his jurisdiction, the recruited soldiers were training. "And there are not enough officials, if there are no officials, it is difficult to form an army."

"Half a year is too long!" Xiong Jing frowned when he heard it for half a year, and Handan had already fallen after half a year.

"Our army's spearmen are different from the Qin people's spear formation." Fight in the pheasant road. "For half a year, you can only raise a spear into a formation, but you can't rush a spear. How did the king not know the difficulty of the spear array? ”

Dou Yu Pheasant looked at Xiong Jing in surprise. The spear array was invented and popularized by Xiong Jing, and at the beginning, including the king's pawn, it was just a formation of spears, and the spear was a swarm of bees, and the three rows of three rows of spears were later. Raising spears in a formation is the first step, charging spears in a row is the second step, running in a column is the third step, and changing the formation is the fourth step.

The infantry drill code believes that the first step takes at least three months, the standard time is half a year, the row of spears takes one or even two years, and the column running drill code says five years, but some divisions and brigades are still regarded as not really qualified. Experience suggests that spearmen should practice running in columns from the age of eight when they enter school, practice tirelessly every day, and sharpen their courage in constant combat before they can truly form a formation.

The change of formation is not written into the infantry drill code, which is actually another manifestation of the column running, the difference is that some columns go to the left, and some columns go to the right. Because the pace of the whole army and soldiers is completely the same, the columns are staggered, galloping, entangled, and covering, and ......all kinds of tricks can be played.

"I can't, I can't ......" Dou Yu's surprise reminded Xiong Jing of these details.

The impact spear formation must train thousands of people into a real whole, which is more difficult than refining it into archers, sword and shield hands in ten years. Archers, sword and shield bearers can become a qualified soldier without talent and hard training for ten years, and if they do not have enough discipline, tacit understanding and courage, ten years of spear formation training may not really become a battle. This is the reason why many people pin their hopes on the students of the Academy.

It is impossible for Old Ying to refine a real spear array! Before the capture of Jiuying, the Education Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs made such a judgment mercilessly. The reason for this judgment is very simple: after 50 years of rule and killing by the Qin people, most of the old Yingchu people have been reduced to weak people.

The spear array is not a showcase, and in the rush of blood and fire, the array cannot be chaotic if it suffers any blows and casualties, let alone collapse. Chen Shi couldn't do this at all, and it was difficult for the Song Di Division, Wu Di Division, and Lu Di Divisions to do so. Most of the Yingshi, Xiangshi, Ruoao, Xidi, and Yuedi can do it.

Although they are all human beings, they look the same, but they are completely different. This is actually the same thing as Qi Jiguang's selection of soldiers more than 1,700 years later, the world knows that Qi Jiguang chose Yiwu soldiers, but the more courageous ones are the Chuzhou (Lishui) soldiers.

The reason why the Yiwu soldiers are not as good as the state soldiers is: the state soldiers have their own small groups, who and how to fight before the war, the generals must discuss with them in advance, and they can only fight if they agree, and if they do not agree, they will definitely not fight (they will not fight hard, so outsiders think that the state soldiers have no resilience). There is no such small group in Yiwu soldiers, and the generals are unambiguous, but the discipline and combat effectiveness are inferior; Shaoxing is rich, and the Shaoxing soldiers are smart and clever, so the Shaoxing soldiers are the second. They should be masters instead of charging into battle.

Organization is combat effectiveness. It can be arbitrarily and rudely assumed that, (with the same level of training and equipment), where there is a bureaucracy, the combat effectiveness of the non-commissioned officers is weak; Wherever there are nobles and tribes, the soldiers have strong combat effectiveness. The economy is also a factor, and the combat effectiveness of soldiers in rich areas is weaker, and the combat effectiveness of soldiers in poor areas is stronger. In addition, there is geography, the combat effectiveness of soldiers in the plain area is weak, and the combat effectiveness of soldiers in the mountain and forest areas is strong.

But these factors are interrelated and interrelated. The plains are easy to cultivate, the people are rich, and they are the first areas to be cultivated, and they are also the areas frequently contested by various countries. From the perspective of the world, the Central Plains is all plains, the richest, and the first to be bureaucratized, so the combat effectiveness is weak; Outside of the Central Plains, there are either water or mountains, which are extremely barren and regarded as barbarians by China, and because of this, these places retain noble fiefdoms and tribes, so they are strong in battle.

Fuying has never been a product of military correctness, but a product of political correctness. This point is tacitly understood by everyone, and it is not explained that it can be specific to specific affairs, such as the training of non-commissioned officers in the Jiuying and Nanyang areas, and the military consequences are gradually revealed.

"I think I can't save Zhao." A few days later, Yingdu was sleeping, looking at Xiong Jing who had returned to Yingjing in a hurry, and said so. "Shang Yu and Fangcheng must be garrisoned, how much does the king think Shang Yu should be stationed? Outside Fangcheng, Li Xin is eyeing the tiger, how much does the king think that Fangcheng should be a pawn? There is still a big beam, the Wei people lost 100,000 soldiers, and their realms are all under the Qin army. ”

Shangluo and Shangyi have been garrisoned with four divisions, two divisions from the upper reaches of the Han River, two divisions from Yiling to Yiling, and at least eight divisions from the first line of Fangcheng to Jiuying, which is sixteen divisions, accounting for more than half of the strength of the Chu army. The remaining fourteen divisions could still maneuver if they did not assist the Wei people, and if they assisted the Wei people in garrisoning Shangcai County and Dasong County, the remaining divisions were estimated to be able to cruise on the Yellow River rather than in the field.

Li Er's question made Xiong Jing a little confused, but there was something even more confusing. Nao took out a pigeon message and said: "The Seleucid Kingdom detained our sea boat in Wublay Harbor more than ten days ago, and the sea boat was loaded with sulfur ...... urgently needed for the construction of the government."

"What do you mean?!" Xiong Jing looked at the pigeon news in disbelief. "They dare too!"

"The King?" Xiong Jing's face suddenly turned pale, and Nao Cunning, Li Er, and Lan Hao were all startled.

"Why?" Xiong Jing roughly remembered the stock of gunpowder in the army, which added up to less than 100 tons.

"I don't know why." Nao shook his head slyly, who knows what is thousands of miles away. "Fortunately, Hu Tanshaozhi has arrived in Yandi, and the caravan has several tons of sulfur."

Even if Hu Tanshaozhi had ten tons of sulfur, it was only equipped with 100 tons of gunpowder. Xiong Jing's heart was bitter, he pressed this matter, and then asked: "From the perspective of the combat division, what should our army do?" ”

"When westward." He said without hesitation.

"Westward?" Xiong Jing was surprised. "Do you want to re-enter Xianyang?"

"Definitely." Li He pointed to Nanzheng on the map, "Our army should take Nanzheng against the Han River before autumn." Only by taking Nanzheng and cutting off the arms of the Qin people in the south can Shang Yu and Yiling be stable. ”

Military affairs are necessarily based on geography. Qin and Chu were originally bounded by Tongbai Mountain, Dabie Mountain, and the Yangtze River, but now that the Chu army has regained Ying, breaking this geographical boundary, it is necessary to establish a new geographical boundary. Qin and Chu must either take the pre-war border as the boundary, or they must take the border before Qin takes Bashu as the boundary, otherwise, the western border will be unstable.

"Can't the two cities of Xiangfan be the boundary?" Xiong Jing understands this truth, but it is difficult to accept this approach.

"I can't." Nao pointed out the problem: "If the two cities of Xiangfan are the boundary, how can the Zhu clan and the remaining honorable scholars be sealed?" ”

Xiong Jing was speechless. Including the entire Fang City, the Zhu clan and the honorable people can seal a piece of land, if the Fang City is abandoned and cannot be divided, they will inevitably have complaints. Qi Jiguang had to negotiate with the state soldiers before fighting, and he actually had to take care of the emotions of the Zhu clan and the honorable people when he fought. Fiefdom is not an ordinary benefit, especially if someone in front has already sealed it in Jiuying, and if the people in the back can't seal it in Fangcheng......
