To prevent survivors from taking credit from others, or! Deliberately concealing the credit of others, and then claiming the credit of others as one's own or one's friend's. Shang Ying stipulates: The words of the survivors are for reference only, and the final reward is divided equally by the collective merit. On the basis of equal sharing, additional rewards will be given to the corresponding personnel on the basis of "for reference only".

The collective merit is greater than the individual merit.

Because! This is the army, and all actions are under command.

On the battlefield, everyone has their own role. So! The credit itself can be as big or small. Some people may not be able to kill the enemy, but! His role cannot be overlooked. So! The distribution of rewards must be considered collectively and as a whole.

And also! Selection parameters. In normal times, the person's ability, political quality, character, etc., directly affect the share of rewards.

You usually have a good character, excellent political quality, and very hard ability, so! When rewarding the score, even though you are dead, you will be given a larger share of the reward.

Even if you survive, you say how much credit you have made, and that the deceased has no merit, and your words are "for reference only". In the final distribution of the reward share, it is not necessarily more than the deceased.

No one has proven to be your credit, and what you say doesn't fully count. If anyone proves that you have taken it, you will be punished.

Of course! If you do make a great achievement, the reward will be quite yours.

In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the reward, the military is equipped with recorders. They also have to participate in the war, but! The main job is to record the merits of the soldiers.

Shang Ying's formulation of the battlefield reward system was fully demonstrated. It was enacted after consulting the soldiers in the army. The soldiers all thought that this reward system was reasonable, so they reported it to Qin Xiaogong for approval.

Of course! There is no absolute reasonableness. Survivors' credits are not necessarily credible, nor are they all lies. Some of the survivors may be true. It mainly depends on character, and partiality is absolute.

When everything was ready, the five thousand cavalry of the Qin State were ready for action. And 50,000 infantrymen have already rushed to the front.

Shang Ying's plan was to charge with 5,000 cavalry first, and open the gap in Wei with lightning speed. And then! Infantry advances, exercising de facto control over the land. And then! It is the broad masses of the people who follow behind to clean up the battlefield.

Of course! Not the broad masses of the people, but the "reserve" army of the Qin State. The current Qin State has soldiers but no weapons. So! Those soldiers who did not have weapons turned into "the people" who cleaned up the battlefield.

The regular army fought in the front, and these unarmed soldiers cleaned the battlefield in the rear. In fact! I'm not here to clean up the battlefield. But! Pick up weapons. Everyone who dies has weapons. The bodies of the deceased are equipped with armor and other equipment.

Furthermore! The equipment of the Wei army was quite advanced. Just like the army of the United States today, it is the same as the equipment of the little devils and the national army during the Anti-Japanese War.

The first battle is down! The state of Qin is a battlefield where 5,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry go, as a result! When he was driven away by Pang Juan, he became 100,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry.

It's the same as when our army went to the northeast after the little devils surrendered. Most of the people who went empty-handed had weapons.

The army led by Shang Ying of the Qin State was also like this!

Maybe! Later generations are following Shang Ying's trick, right?

In the Qin State at that time, although Bai Gui equipped Shang Ying with 10,000 cavalry, only 5,000 could be put into the battlefield. The reason is this: the infantry did not have enough weapons, and could only equip 5,000 cavalry. The rest of the weapons, armor, etc., must be equipped with the infantry.

Infantry! It is the main force on the frontal battlefield.

Cavalry! It can only play the role of a surprise attack, breaking through the line of defense, and taking it by surprise.

Cavalry is important, but! You don't have to have too many people. And the infantry! is the main force.

In the first battle of the Qin state, also known as the battle of the rise, Shang Ying adopted raid tactics.

First secretly mobilized the infantry to the border, and then used the cavalry to charge into battle, after breaking through the first line of defense of the Wei State, they pursued non-stop with the victory, and did not give the Wei army a chance to breathe.

The regular army invested by the Qin army was 5,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry. After the battle began, the 50,000 cavalry not only did not decrease, but also increased.

Those cavalrymen who did not have horses and equipment, after capturing their horses and equipment, immediately went into battle to form a new battle team.

The infantry, who had no weapons, followed the battle team to clean up the battlefield. Once you have weapons and armor, you can immediately form a new battle team and go into battle.

Furthermore! Encouraged by the victory, the soldiers became more combative. And the state of Wei! There was no preparation at all, and under the sneak attack of the cavalry, the army was crushed on the spot.

Under Shang Ying's decision, he not only launched a full-scale attack on Wei, but also sent an advance team to infiltrate the enemy-occupied area and block Wei's communication routes. The signal soldiers sent by Wei to contact and rescue were all intercepted.

So! The Wei army was fighting alone.

But! Due to the continuous fatigue of the Qin army, the physical strength of the soldiers could not keep up. In a head-on battle with the Wei State, he did not take advantage.

When the defenders of Wei learned of the situation, they had no choice but to take a desperate approach and fight a decisive battle with the Qin army. As you can imagine, the battlefield was tragic.

On the frontal battlefield, corpses are strewn everywhere. The Wei State was almost completely annihilated, and the Qin army also suffered heavy casualties.

In just a few days, the Qin army won a complete victory.

Wei Ying and the Wei army fought in Hexi, defeated the Wei army in Huayin, and the soldiers pointed to Tongguan, Hancheng, and Anyi.

The main force of the Wei army engaged the Chu division in Xuchang and Yuzhou, and the Wei army in Huayin and Hexi was weakly defended. When King Wei Huiwen heard the news, he hurriedly transferred 200,000 troops from Jincheng and Jinzhong into Anyi to fight a decisive battle with Shang Ying.

Shang Ying regained the lost territory, and he had no intention of staying at all. After cleaning up the battlefield, he began to make war money and bring everything he could take away. Other than that! After the Wei army was eliminated, the weapons and equipment of the Wei army naturally became the trophies of the Qin state.

And Shang Ying and Qin Xiaogong discussed that the main purpose and task of this war was to kill people and seize equipment. How many defenders there are in Wei is equivalent to all the equipment given to Qin.

With these equipment, the strength of the Qin State has grown. But! If you want to fight a decisive battle with Wei, you still can't, the gap is still very big. But! You can't withdraw your troops!

If you withdraw directly, you will show weakness.

And also! What if the decisive battle with the main army of Wei could be won?

And if you can win? The regained ground is equivalent to the real reconquest.

Shang Ying and Qin Xiaogong were prepared with this thought: first a decisive battle with the main force of Wei. If you can't win, then! Hurry up and withdraw your troops.

Outcome! As expected: the two sides fought decisive battles in Hancheng and Tongguan, and the Qin State was finally defeated. In order to preserve their strength, Shang Ying and Qin Xiaogong decisively withdrew their troops.

Because of the early preparations, the withdrawal of troops was smooth.

At last! Shang Ying led his army south, attacked the Luochuan Han army, and expanded the land to the north of Shangnan.

The battle for the rise of the Qin State has since begun.
