Volume 19 The Towering Qin Feng Chapter 5 Smoke Rises Again

In early autumn, the south of Xianyang City, the shore of Weishui, and Shanglin Garden!

In a huge military camp in the garden, the sound of hooves rumbled, footsteps were one after another, and the shouts of killing were deafening, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin State were practicing in full swing!

Suddenly, Hanlu Huajing untied the book and entered the north camp, and the mighty and noble imperial flag fluttered in the wind, until the center of the school stopped next to the platform!

Fusu jumped out of the car, stretched his muscles, looked up at the energetic soldiers of the three armies, and then looked at the scorching sun, and couldn't help but nod approvingly: "Winter practice Sanfu, summer practice Sanjiu, no sloppiness!"

At this moment, a group of people galloped over in the midst of the chaotic army, but it was Li Xin, Yingbu, Guan Ying and others. The generals came to Fusu approaching, hurriedly dismounted, and gave a military salute, Li Xin smiled and said: "Why don't you say hello before Your Majesty comes, and let the last general personally greet you!?"

Fusu snorted and said, "Lian is going to make a surprise attack, see what kind of soldiers you have trained for Lian this year, and whether you can fight a war!" Li Xin looked at Yingbu, Guan Ying and others, stole and squeezed his eyes, and said in his heart: "The person who came is not good!" On his face, he said confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the 50,000 heavy cavalry built with the Dayue Clan's horses have been trained, the 50,000 new-style infantry have also been trained, and all the weapons and equipment are all in place, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, they can go to the soup and charge for my Qin State!"

Hearing this, Fusu smiled and said: "Han Xin said that his 100,000 light cavalry in Yandi has been trained and can fight, but Lian didn't dare to be careless, so he sent his second brother Yingji to the parade; You don't listen to your boasting here, whether it's real gold or pig iron, we have to pull it out and see!"

Li Xin smiled and said: "Okay, Your Majesty, go up to the platform and sit down, and at the end of the day, I will arrange for you to review this tiger and wolf army!" Good!" Fusu nodded, and then led Wuxin and Fu and others to go straight to the stage and sit on the handsome seat!

Li Xin and the others also then ascended to the stage and shouted: "Pass my order." The three armed forces finished their training and immediately assembled!" Whoa!" The Chinese army responded, and at that moment, the drums suddenly sounded, the red flag shook violently, and the huge school field immediately rumbled with hooves and hurried footsteps, and the soldiers of the Qin army, who were originally scattered everywhere, quickly assembled like a stream flowing into the sea. In the blink of an eye, two huge military formations appeared in front of Fusu's eyes: a cavalryman and a foot soldier, all of them were energetic and murderous!

Fusu nodded secretly: "Well-trained, fast but not chaotic, high-spirited, worthy of the word 'strong team'." It is no worse than the 'breaking army' and 'wolf's teeth' that Lian practiced in the past!"

I heard Li Xin also shout: "Pass my general order, and all 1,000 people in the first part of the first lieutenant of the heavy cavalry will be listed!" All 1,000 men from the first lieutenant of the infantry are out of the ranks!" After the restructuring of the Qin Army: the main establishment is: lieutenant - 10,000 people, department - 1,000 people, Qu - 100 people, and even - 10 people, which are led by four officers: captain, captain, lieutenant, and second lieutenant; Soldiers are divided into four levels: non-commissioned officer, sergeant, sergeant, and corporal according to the different types of arms and other aspects.

As soon as Li Xin's voice fell, a thousand cavalry and a thousand foot soldiers stepped out of the huge military formation, all of them raised their heads with their chests straight, looked ahead, and held back their strength to show their faces in front of His Majesty the Emperor!

Li Xin suddenly said loudly: "The cavalry set up a straw man target one hundred and five steps away!" The drum beats and the red flag shakes. A group of soldiers of the Chinese army poured out from behind the Dianjiang platform, carrying a thousand straw man targets on the left side of the Dianjiang platform and began to lay them out. It can also be seen that the training is well-trained!

Immediately afterwards, Li Xin shouted: "The first charge, the second salvo." Take the enemy's head later!" Suddenly, the drums of the attack were beating, and a thousand heavy horsemen shouted in unison. Each of them launched the first round of diffuse shots.

In the curtain of arrows covering the sky, the straw man in the distance trembled, and seven or eight out of ten had been hit by the arrow; Soon, the second round of arrow rain began to rush again after the cavalry rushed to the straw man about 100 paces. This time, there were almost no straw men who missed the arrow, showing the amazing crossbow skills of this cavalry! Fusu was taken aback: "What an accurate crossbow technique, it seems that these soldiers have spent a lot of hard time for more than a year!" With this hand, the long-range lethality of our army will exceed that of the Huns' short bow!"

In the midst of admiration, I saw that after a thousand Qin horses finished shooting the second round of crossbow arrows, they quickly hung their crossbows and halberds, and at the moment when the galloping war horse rushed past the straw man, the cold cold light crossed a beautiful arc, and the head of the thousand grass men all fell, and the end was very beautiful!

Fusu was overjoyed, couldn't help but applaud, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes!" General Li, this cavalry has a perfect combination of crossbows, horsemanship, and lethality, and its combat power is not bad!"

Li Xin also smiled and said: "The last general has spent more than a year of hard work, if it is not in the eyes of His Majesty, then the minister should also be disarmed and returned to the field!" Fusu smiled, but said again: "But, General Li, don't you know if you see a few weaknesses in this cavalry?" Li Xin was stunned, and said, "Please give your majesty advice!"

Fusu said: "Daqin is now divided into two kinds of cavalry: light cavalry with crossbows, guns, and scimitars as the main combat weapons, which are good at being fluttering and light, and can be attacked for long distances; The heavy cavalry uses crossbows and halberds as the main combat weapons, which are good for short-distance sprints and charges, which can be said to have their own strengths and weaknesses! Not to mention these, another big problem is: my Great Qin horses are relatively insufficient, so both light and heavy cavalry can only reach one and a half horses per person, which is not a little bit worse than about three horses per person for the Huns, which means that although my Qin cavalry is not weaker than the Huns at present, the long-range combat ability is still much worse! This is likely to be a fatal flaw in wartime!"

Li Xin nodded when he heard this: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but at present, my Great Qin has no way to solve the problem of the shortage of war horses!" However, next year, the seven major horse farms will be able to start producing a large number of good horses, and this problem should be solved soon!"

Fusu nodded and said: "But time is running out, Lian has just received news that the kings of the Huns have gathered in the court, and I am afraid that they will soon start attacking the Dayue clan, so this cavalry is about to go to the battlefield." I only hope that you can overcome the difficulties and win the first Northern Expedition of our Great Qin!"

Li Xin said confidently when he heard this: "Your Majesty, rest assured, although our cavalry has some weaknesses compared with the Hun cavalry, it also has many advantages, such as: our cavalry is more well-equipped, all of them are made of excellent steel weapons, which are stronger than the Huns; Moreover, the Huns mostly used leather armor, while our army, regardless of the light and heavy cavalry, used stainless steel chain mail, although the thickness was different, but it was much stronger than the leather armor of the Huns; Moreover, the officers and men of our army are familiar with arranging troops. And he has defeated the Huns before, and his morale is not lagging behind, if he really fights with the Huns, it is not certain who will win and who will lose!"

Fusu smiled when he heard this: "Yes, our army and the Huns have their own strengths, and if they really fight, it depends on the command ability of the generals. Li Xin hurriedly said: "Please watch it, Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he shouted: "The first formation of the foot soldiers!"

Suddenly. The drum beat sounded rapidly, the red flag shook three times to the right, and the infantry formation, which was originally as quiet as a mountain, suddenly became restless: the Baiqi Wugang car quickly turned back and forth, and quickly completed a circular formation like an iron wall; Behind the battle, there were four pikemen guarding the gaps in the amphibious martial arts; The pikemen were followed by two hundred crossbowmen and two hundred repeaters, and then one hundred special light cavalry with shields in their left and scimitars in their right hands protecting the hundred horses in the cart field; And the 100 light soldiers who were responsible for the task of spreading the thistle terrestris immediately retracted into a circle after completing the task, holding a shield in their left hand and a single pistol in their right hand and hiding behind Wu Gang's car!

In just a few minutes, the seamless, impregnable defense line was quickly laid out, and the end was well-trained and tacitly coordinated!

Fusu secretly praised: "Not bad, not bad! I was so skilled in arranging the formation, and I was worried that although there was a strange formation, it might not be able to deploy the formation under the enemy's air attack. Don't worry about it now, as long as you send out a rebuke according to military regulations, there is no time for this warning!" Suddenly, he asked Li Xindao, "General Li." Doesn't your Wugang car formation seem to be different from the one that Lian gave you in the old year?"

Hearing this, Li Xin said, "Yes, Your Majesty. After discussion, the minister and the lieutenant felt that there were still some small flaws in it, so they took it upon themselves to make some improvements! The main thing is to hand over the task of spreading thistle terrestris on the ground that was originally performed by pikemen to the spear shield soldiers, and these spear and shield soldiers hide behind Wu Gang's car after completing the task. The intention is to prevent some of the Huns with superb riding skills from crossing the not too high Wugang car and entering our car formation! Your Majesty, please see, these spear and shield soldiers are hidden behind the Wugang chariot, and as long as the enemy cavalry dares to jump in, they can penetrate the enemy's horse belly from the bottom up and with a single pistol. and shall cause the enemy to be either killed or wounded; Even if there is a survivor of the fluke, he can be attacked and defended with spears and shields, and his ability to solve him quickly!

In addition, it is the new infantry of this infantry, cavalry sword and shield soldiers, they can use the shield to protect themselves and their horses from the damage of the enemy's cavalry and arrows, and second, they can be used to fill in the gaps after the spear and shield soldiers. In this way, the loopholes caused by the lack of melee combat power of the crossbowmen and the inconvenience of the pikemen in the narrow phalanx can be basically filled, making the Wugang car formation more perfect! I wonder what Your Majesty thinks the change will be?"

Hearing this, Fusu praised and said: "Change well, change well!" Can the United put forward an idea at that time, it will definitely be difficult to ensure perfection in practice, and General Li and the ovary can proceed from reality and not stick to the old rules, and the spirit is commendable!" Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to see how the actual combat strength of this Wugang car formation is?"

Fusu shook his head and said: "No need, look at the spirit, fighting spirit and well-trained situation of this new-style infantry, you will know that it is not bad, and the core of this Wugang car formation is crossbowmen, my Great Qin has always used crossbowmen to shock the world, and the alliance is very relieved of them!" Li Xin and the others laughed.

Suddenly, a horse galloped from the edge of the school field to the point of the platform, the sound of hooves rumbled, Fusu saw it clearly, but it was Lang Zhongling Yang Fan. Fu Suqi said: "Why is he running here in such a hurry?"

Seeing that Lang Zhong ordered Yang Fan's Pegasus to rush to the bottom of the general's stage, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Fan Xiang ordered me to report to Your Majesty urgently, and the third assassin sent to the Huns has returned!" Fusu was overjoyed, the first two times he was sent to assassinate Zhao Shengdi were all dead, this time he was able to survive, he must have been successful, and hurriedly said: "What, will you bring Zhao Sheng's head back?"

Yang Fan was stunned, shook his head and said, "This time the assassin also failed!" Fusu was immediately deflated and scolded: "This Zhao Sheng is really a scourge for a thousand years!" By the way, the first two assassin assassinations were both dead, why did he come back safely?"

Yang Fan said: "Fan Xiang asked, this assassin himself is also inexplicable, he said that he was rescued by a mysterious person, and asked him to send a secret letter to His Majesty!" This secret letter has been brought by the minister, please take a look at it!" Fusu was also very puzzled, hurriedly took the sheepskin letter, opened it and looked at it, and was immediately stunned, and saw the letter and said:

We were comrades-in-arms in the previous life, we are still friends in this life, I am Fang Hong, if you don't guess wrong, you should be Cheng Feng! You were born in the Central Plains. Calm the world again, turn the tide in the fall; I grew up in Ding Ling, succeeded to the throne of Khan with wisdom and bravery, and swore to help China in the northern Xinjiang! Now I have entered the Huns, and I have to be named the 'King of Ding Ling', and the 20,000 Ding Ling cavalry under my command are also brave and brave, although it is not enough to sweep the Huns, but it can also help you at a critical opportunity! In the future, but if necessary, you can send mutual envoys to contact you under the name of 'Reviving China, My Martial Arts', remember! Now Mao Dun is preparing to attack the Yue clan in the west. I will find a way to send the envoy for the specific deployment of troops, and Daqin must also prepare as soon as possible! Million! Treasure!

Suddenly, Fusu looked up to the sky and laughed: "God help me!" Hahahaha!" Seeing that Fusu was so overjoyed, Li Xin and the others said curiously: "Your Majesty, why are you happy?" Fusu smiled: "This is a secret, you can't say it now!" However, what the alliance can be sure of is that Mao Dun is about to launch an attack on the Otsuki Clan, and you must be ready to open the northern plain at any time!"

Although Li Xin and the others were a little inexplicable, they still nodded and said, "Obey." Your Majesty!"

"Back to the palace, Lian must make Mao Dun look good this time!" Fusu laughed and left, making Li Xin and the others look at each other. I don't know what to say!

At the same time, the court of the Xiongnu was in the Golden Horde. Heavyweights gathered. After going to Longting to worship the ancestors, heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, these Hun nobles all wanted to show their skills with high morale and take the Yue clan into their pockets!

Mao Dun glanced at the ministers and said, "Warriors of the Great Huns, it is autumn today. It is the time when the grass is fat and the horses are strong, and the soldiers are being applied, so this single decision is to immediately mobilize troops against the Yue Clan, what is your opinion on the specific strategy?"

King Liwang of the right valley said: "Da Danyu." When we attacked Donghu in the previous time, there was almost no battle on the right side of our Huns, and the soldiers also divided a lot of prisoners and gold and silver, so this attack on the Yue clan must let our right side serve as the vanguard!"

Hearing this, King Youxian smiled and said: "This is natural, the right part of my Huns borders with the Yue Clan, and this time it should be our turn to exert power!" Please allow for a large order!"

Seeing that the Right Sage King and the Right Valley Liwang were so enthusiastic, Mao Dun said with a smile: "Of course, this time you must take your right side as the vanguard, and you can't transfer the left troops and horses to fight the Yue Clan in this single way!" However, have you ever thought about how to mobilize troops?"

King Liwang of Yougu had a headache when he heard this: "Da Danyu, just kill it directly, why do you think so much!" The Huns are afraid to use their brains, and they like to go straight to everything!

Mao Dun saw that it was his uncle, and it was difficult to refute him, but he smiled and said: "If you don't use your brains to fight, sooner or later you will suffer!" Last time I entered the Huns, I arranged it cleverly, and destroyed Donghu in one battle, how many things were saved, and how many warriors of the Huns died less, so it can be seen that this strategy is really important! Didn't the Qin people keep laughing at me that the Great Huns were barbarians and didn't know how to strategize, how could we really let them underestimate them!? Strategist, what do you say?"

Zhao Sheng heard this, Xue Sheng said: "Da Dan Yu said yes!" Since the princes and generals don't have any good plans for a while, then you might as well let Zhao talk about his foolish opinions!"

Hearing this, Zuo Da said with a smile: "Yes, yes! The military advisor only has to come up with ideas, these heart-wrenching things can't be done by our Great Huns, we just have to fight!" At that moment, the crowd echoed the voice.

Mao Dun shook his head secretly: "Alas, what a group of reckless people!" Ding Ling Wang Suku was also silent on the side, waiting to see what happened.

Zhao Sheng secretly sneered in his heart: "You Huns regard the use of tricks as despicable and shameless things, and disdain to do it, you really don't understand the art of war at all, and it is really a barbarian state!" Thinking in his heart, Zhao Sheng didn't dare to show it, just smiled: "Then I'll talk about it!" Saying that, Zhao Sheng came to the remade sheepskin map behind Shan Yu's throne, and said: "If my Great Huns attack the Great Moon Clan this time, in order to protect their left flank, the Qin State will definitely go all out to attack and contain my Great Huns!" In the past two years, the Qin people have been greatly expanded, and they already have a considerable cavalry force, which is mainly distributed in three places:

1. Yandi: Here are 100,000 elite horsemen led by Han Xin, a famous general of the Qin State. This elite cavalry is based on some of the remnants of Donghu, well-equipped, skilled in equestrianism, so the combat power is excellent, and it is not at all pressed by the grassland elite cavalry of my Great Huns.

2. Jiuyuan: Here are 50,000 elite horsemen led by Meng Tian, a famous general of the Qin State. This elite cavalry is composed of a hundred battles that defeated our Huns and quelled the civil war in the past, not only well-equipped, but also believed to be quite effective!

3. Xianyang: According to the report, the Qin people here formed a heavy cavalry of about 50,000 people with tens of thousands of good horses of the Dayue clan, and this cavalry is different from Han Xin and Meng Tian's department, the cavalry is mostly equipped with heavy armor, and the horses are also dressed in light armor during war, so the cost is expensive, but the combat power is far better than the light cavalry, so it must not be taken lightly. However, this heavy cavalry, like the cavalry of the Otsuki clan, is longer than a sprint. Shorter than rush!

This means that once the Qin people are ready to send troops, they can quickly gather 200,000 cavalry, set off from the northern plains and Yandi, and directly attack the royal court of our Xiongnu and the land on the left, so if it is not carefully deployed, in case of a sneak attack by the Qin army, my great Xiongnu will definitely suffer serious losses!

According to the deployment of these forces of the Qin people, Zhao planned a strategy to deal with the enemy. Specifically, it is also like this:

The land on the left was led by King Zuo Xian and King Zuo Gu Li led the headquarters of 130,000 troops, and the troops and troops quickly shrank north, and the land of Yan and Zhao was stretched at least thousands of miles to Mobei. In this way, if the Qin army wants to fight a decisive battle with us, it must cross thousands of miles of grasslands and deserts, the Qin army lacks horses, and it relies heavily on logistics, and after a long journey of thousands of miles, the remaining combat strength must be limited. At that time, King Zuo Xian and King Zuo Gu Li can destroy the Qin army according to the specific situation of the Qin army or directly fight a decisive battle with the Qin army; Or send elite cavalry to attack the Qin army's grain road. When the enemy is exhausted, he will fight a decisive battle with him. If Han Xindi's 100,000 elite cavalry can be solved, then it will be difficult for the Qin State to recover for several years! The main point of using troops along the way is actually two words: 'drag' and 'tired'!

The grasslands and deserts separated by the court of the Xiongnu and the land of the Qin Jiuyuan are not less than thousands of miles. And it's more difficult and difficult to cross than the land on the left, so. Zhao suggested that Wang Ting could gather more than 100,000 elite horsemen in Mobei, if the Qin army could cross thousands of miles of grasslands and deserts, I am afraid that the consumption of combat power would be more obvious than Han Xin's first army, at this time. Our army, with its superior strength and the advantage of waiting for work at ease, should be able to defeat it in one fell swoop!

Of course, if the Qin army retreats in the face of difficulties, our army can also follow and pursue. Crack your tongue and get a layer of flesh down!

Zhao believes that these two strategies to deal with the enemy are foolproof strategies, as long as there is no major negligence on the part of the enemy's generals, there should be no doubt about victory! I don't know what the big order thinks?"

Mao Dun thought about it for a moment and said, "This is your Qin people's strategy of 'luring the enemy deeper', right!?" This single Yu thinks it is very good, making full use of the role of the natural barrier of my prairie and desert, coupled with the disadvantage of the Qin army after going deep into the hinterland of our country, there is no food and no people to rely on, and my Great Huns have at least eighty percent chance of winning this battle! What do you think, warriors of the Great Huns?"

When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, and they all felt that this plan was good, and they had a great grasp of victory, so they nodded one after another. Seeing this, Mao Dun said: "In that case, let's decide like this!" It's just that in this way, there are more than 200,000 troops left in the left and Wang Tingdi, and the attack on the Yue Clan can only use 200,000 cavalry at most, which is equivalent to the strength of the Yue Clan's people! Strategist, do you think you can be sure of winning?"

Zhao Sheng smiled when he heard this: "The people of the Yue clan have been comfortable for a long time, and the generals are mediocre, how can they compare with my Great Huns!?" What's more, this time, Zhao Sheng suggested that Da Dan Yu should best personally recruit the Yue Clan, so that the victory will be more certain!"

Mao Dun heard the words and said: "If this is the only one who is in charge of the Yue clan, who will guard the royal court to deal with the Qin army?" Zhao Shengdao: "If Da Dan Yu believes in Zhao, I am willing to take on this important responsibility for Da Dan Yu, and then be the left and right bones of the Marquis, and the left and right big households to help, but it can be guaranteed!"

Mao Dun thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, the left and right bones are the marquis, the left and right big households, after the four of you go west, you must obey the orders of the military advisor, and you must not be lazy, otherwise this single will not be forgiven, understand?" After Qin State's repeated assassination attempts at Zhao Sheng, Mao Dun now has great trust in Zhao Sheng!

The left and right bones and the left and right big masters looked at each other when they heard this, although they were a little reluctant, but they had no choice but to nod!

Suddenly, Ding Ling Wang Suku said: "Da Danyu, then the king will go on the expedition with you, or stay in the royal court?" Mao Dun said with a smile: "It is enough for the royal court to have a military advisor to stay behind, and King Ding Ling will go out with this single to fight the Yue Clan!" Su Ku knew that Mao Dun didn't fully believe in himself, and he didn't dare to put himself in the royal court easily, so he had no choice but to nod and say: "Obey, I immediately sent an urgent order to the headquarters to transfer 20,000 Ding and zero cavalry to come to help Da Shan Yu!"

Mao Dunxi said: "Great, since the assignment has been decided, then the left and right Xian kings and the left and right Gu Li kings will each go back to their headquarters, and prepare to fight with Qin and the Dayue clan!" Yes, big order!" All the generals will stand up and bow down!

The next day, a Ding Ling tribesman disguised himself as a south, crossed the desert, and came straight to Jiuyuan!

At this point, the beacon fire in northern Xinjiang has risen again, and the prelude to China's first large-scale initiative to attack the grassland ethnic land has officially begun!
