The staff of the 1st Yueshi Army. According to the ideas of the Yueshi people, the Yueshi people organized the Yueyue Clan Legion, the first, second, and third legions according to the original tribal alliance. Each of the three corps had three infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, and one artillery regiment.

and a number of engineering battalions.

But most of the legions are a framework, such as the First Legion. He originally had three infantry regiments, but now they have only one and a half, a battalion is being mixed with the Indians, and the artillery regiment has only one battalion of actual strength, and the engineer battalion does not have it. The cavalry regiment was more complete, but it lacked one or two companies, and the cavalry regiment often attacked. The number of cavalry replenished was small.

There are many reasons for this, mainly because the Yueshi tribal alliance has withdrawn most of their troops, and their reason is to watch over the construction of roads, in fact, they are worried that the strength of the tribe will be weakened.

The Yueshi people only superficially established a government and established a state, but it will take a long time to complete the transformation from a tribe to a state. The situation faced by the legion was like this, and the withdrawn troops made it difficult for the Yueshi to launch a large-scale southward operation for a period of time. And their ammunition supply and material supply are also very insufficient, these are their actual situation.

"At the moment, the only way we can do it is to figure out what to do with the Indic soldiers. They are the only way we can do it. Qin Guan, the advisor of the Qin State, said.

"We are very short of soldiers. If we don't have an effective reinforcement, our situation will be even worse. Qin Guan said.

"However, those Indians, their combat effectiveness is very worthy of our doubt, you know, their combat ability is very weak, they are fighting for their own country, for such people, can we believe it?" Bai Bao, chief of staff of the First Legion of the Yue Clan, asked worriedly.

"There's nothing left to do. The Yueshi country can no longer provide us with sufficient troops, we can only solve such problems by ourselves, and we need such troops to fight. Qin Guan said.

"From what I know, it seems that these Indians have no concept of a state. Although, as their own people say, they are a large country, but the country is united by many city-states. Such a loose coalition of countries, they can easily be divided, and, given that there are enough interests, they will absolutely do so, there is no doubt about that, and many of them will do it. I believe that Indians will do so as long as they think about the interests of their own people. Qin Guan analyzed.

"Maybe your analysis is correct, but we need to spend a lot of time training them together, and it's not very clear whether they are reliable or not, and it takes us a long time to see." Bai Bao said.

"Sir. Reports from front-line officers have been delivered. Shall we stop for their suggestion? A staff officer asked, looking at the two officers.

"Yes." Bai Bao said. The establishment of the staff system can make the combat operations of the Yueshi people more rational.

Zhao Fang's report is more detailed, reliable, and uses a lot of first person, which seems to be very reliable, and most importantly, his report has some simple maps and detailed descriptions of some things, which is easy to attract. Naturally, he was also selected to become the report of the junior officer. The First Legion needs a lot of intelligence to support them in the rest of the battle.

"Our operation went very smoothly at the beginning, we could easily attack the other tribe, the village, the other side did not react, most of them launched an attack, although they also had some armed forces to resist, but their weapons were very poor. It is impossible to strike us an effective blow, and we are cavalry, most of them are infantry, and their combat resistance to us is very weak. Zhao Fang explained.

Bai Bao just kept nodding his head for such a military operation. Bai Bao has heard it many times. And Qin Guan on the side was not interested at all. Because this kind of combat method was proposed by Qin Guan, this is similar to what the northern Huns did to the Central Plains countries, but now they have become the Yueshi people and the Huns, and the Indians have become the Central Plains countries, they were attacked by small forces, but they caused a certain number of losses to the Indians, and with the accumulation of losses, this effect will slowly become a huge qualitative change.

"However, there are some bad things." Zhao Fang said helplessly at this time.

"The number of people we have gained is declining rapidly, and we used to be able to capture a lot of people, but now, villages, tribes, have begun to decrease on a large scale, and it will take us a long time to reach them. This is very disadvantageous for us, because our ammunition supply, as well as our combat radius, are very limited. Zhao Fang said.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Qin Guan on the side asked.

"My suggestion is to push us to the front as much as possible, that is, we need a lot of infantry support, preferably with better fortifications that can provide such support. Our people can rest and not worry about being ambushed, attacked by each other in the wilderness, etc. Zhao Fang said.

After listening to this, Qin Guan nodded and agreed. And Bai Bao on the side was a little reluctant, because if he did this, it would greatly weaken their limited mobile forces, which was a very disadvantageous point for him, and he didn't want to see such a thing happen.

"Anything else?" Bai Bao said.

"Also, when we were attacking in the south, we found something strange." Zhao Fang said.

"What's weird?" Bai Bao asked with his hands crossed.

"The Indians are building a defensive line, and the defensive line is very well built. From the trenches, the fortresses, and all sorts of walled fortifications, I looked at them with a telescope, and I thought that if we attacked, it would take considerable effort to take them down from the front, which would take a few hundred artillery pieces to solve the problem. Moreover, on such a scale, there may already be a certain system. Zhao Fang described it in the words of the Qin State that he understood as much as possible.

"I used my not very good level of drawing and painted one." Zhao Fang said. As he spoke, he handed his drawing book to Bai Bao.

"You're talking about a system?" Qin Guan was keenly aware of something, and then asked curiously.

"Yes, we walked a few places and found that several places were building fortifications like this, and I think they might be a system. Such a system seems to be specially designed to defend against us, because I thought that if we use artillery attacks, it will take a long time to solve these fortresses, and these fortresses are not very easy for each other, they seem to be specially designed to defend against artillery. Zhao Fang gestured at this time. He spoke his mind.

"Good. You provide a good idea, but also a very valuable piece of information. Qin Guan said.

"Thank you, sir, thank you very much for saying that." Zhao Fang said. Then Zhao Fang went down. He simply reported what he had seen to his superiors, who would find some ideas in their favor from the information he provided.

"I think things may be a little bit bad, at least not good for us." Qin Guan said worriedly. When Zhao Fang mentioned that defense system, Qin Guan's eyelids kept jumping. He felt that this was very similar, the nomads in the north were constantly harassing, and the Central Plains country, as an agricultural civilization, would use its own advantages to build fortifications, and this fortification gradually formed a system, which was the Great Wall. In the same way, the Indians will do the same, and they will build their own Great Wall in the face of the constant flow of young people from the north. And this system is a system built specifically to deal with artillery.

"You mean. Is the defense system built by the Indians aimed at us? Bai Bao asked at this time.

"Yes, the defense system they have built is just too obvious. Trench. The main defense is our musketeers, and at the same time, the high walls may feel thicker, mainly used to defend against our artillery. It's just that we don't know how much of a role they can play in building such fortifications, how much they built in such a time, we don't know at all, we just hope that the Indians don't build a lot, this is, the Great Wall of the Indians. Qin Guan said. For such a defensive system, Qin Guan believes that the role played is not very large, but this requires the Yueshi people to provide an offensive level, that is, the Yueshi people must have heavier, longer range, and powerful artillery appears, only in this way, the Yueshi people have a military advantage. But in this way, the pressure on logistics and supplies will be very large, which greatly limits the offensive range of the Yueshi people.

"The Great Wall? I don't know what this thing is, but what I do know is that as long as we have enough artillery, even the best fortifications are in vain, and I hope that the problem we solve now is to build a few forward fortresses, and they need to solve the harassing effect of our cavalry. Bai Bao said worriedly.

"We need a lot of slaves in our country, and the numbers are staggering, and that's what I'm going to do." Bai Bao told Qin Guan about his mission. As for Qin Guan's worries, he was not worried. Or did he not know what the meaning of the Great Wall was?
