As long as the time is a little longer. The number and scale of muskets equipped by the Qin army will slowly accumulate.

And in the north. The Qin army had already received an order from Wang Jian to sweep through the Mengtian tribe of the Hu tribe and begin to retreat. In the middle of the long line were Hu prisoners lined up in dense formations. Every ten of these Hu captives were tied to a log, and the long procession was densely packed. The dust kicked up by the footsteps obscured the sky. The cavalry of the Qin army kept walking back and forth. Whip those who don't walk.

Behind the long procession were a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses. There have been some furs looted from the Hu people, etc. These are all things that the Qin army is preparing for the winter. Such a huge team slowly marched towards the Great Wall of Yan Kingdom.

And under the city of Yandu. The Zhao army and the Yan army formed a state of confrontation. The Zhao army attacked this time. The advance is unusually fast. The twenty-nine cities annexed in the rear began to have some problems. Some Yan people began to attack the grain and grass of the Zhao army. Zhao Jun marched lightly again. The supply of grain and grass is not smooth. So Li Mu was very anxious.

King Zhao didn't care. Three heralds were sent to the envoys. Ordered Li Mu to launch an attack immediately and destroy the Yan State. Li Mu resolutely refused. for his army marched lightly. There are no large siege equipment at all. The capital of the Yan Kingdom is close to the north. It's very sturdy. Rush to attack. It is inevitably yourself who suffers. Li Mu still understands this. At the same time, another factor is very important. Li Mu sent someone to find out. The 40,000 cavalry troops of the Qin State were docked near the Great Wall of the Yan State. A move south could be made at any time. If the Qin army intervenes at this time. The situation was very unfavorable for Zhao Jun. Li Mu therefore paid close attention to the dynamics in the north.

King Zhao is different. After sending three orders in a row to urge Li Mu to attack. Li Mu still didn't move. King Zhao was very anxious. The Qin army has now conquered a large grassland. I want to attack Zhao State. Maybe we have to wait until next year. So. King Zhao wanted to take advantage of this time. Swift annexation of the Yan Kingdom. to expand their own strength. King Zhao turned back and forth. There was no one around him to advise him. The only right-hand man was also sent to Qin to investigate the situation in Qin.

Wang Jian also noticed the confrontation between Li Mubian's army and the Yan army. Due to the proximity to the Great Wall of Yan State, Wang Jian could only send a large number of secret agents to inquire about some affairs between Yan and Zhao. Then report to the King of Qin.

In Xianyang. The King of Qin held a ceremony to receive the congratulations of the Six Kingdoms to the King of Qin. King Qin was very happy. A banquet was held to entertain the envoys of the six countries.

The envoys of the six countries said something that did not look for the margins. King Qin also has a match and no match. The scene was a little deserted for a while. Li Si sat quietly in his place and watched the performance of the envoys of the six countries.

Among the six countries seated, half were military generals. Among these generals, Li Si did not fancy one that could be compared with the generals of the Qin army. But that Li Mu didn't come. I heard that he was attacking Yan with the army, and he had already captured twenty-nine cities in a row. It's very fast.

Li Si took a special look at the envoys of Yan and Zhao. Apparently the envoys of the two countries already knew about the war between the two countries. Therefore, on the palace of the Qin State, the two sides are also enemies. Li Si looked at the hatred of the two groups of people, and couldn't help but disdain it in his heart. Snorted coldly.

As the national lieutenant of Great Qin, Wei Yu has been very busy recently. The war in the north is nothing. There are mainly Wang Jian and Meng Tian on top. A lot of things have been saved, but Shang Wen has a lot of things. Wei Yi himself felt that he was too busy.

The musketeers are rapidly equipping. The size of a hundred-man team has been formed. The production of firearms is also being adjusted. Shanvin himself decided to use a steam engine. But the effect is not very obvious. Recently, I have been busy debugging the machine. Wei Yi himself couldn't figure out what to do with these things.

When it came time to make firearms, a large amount of money had to be allocated from Lis. These have the royal order of the King of Qin, and it is not difficult to handle them. It's a big training problem. The operation of the musket is relatively simple, as long as you firmly remember a few steps and practice repeatedly. That's it. However, Shang Wen's new style of preparation made Wei Yi feel a little uncomfortable.

Musket fire was divided into three rows. In the past, the role of the commander at the bottom of the Qin army was not obvious. Shang Wen boldly improved. More than thirty soldiers were formed together and stood in a row. There shall be a platoon commander. Three in a row. Set up a company commander. In the platoon, those experienced captains are selected to serve as gun sergeant majors, and one is set up in 10 people to facilitate the coordination of the platoon commander's command. Such an establishment has completely changed the traditional establishment of the Qin army. Wei Yu didn't know what the impact of such an establishment would be. At the very least, the military merit system established by the Qin army must be changed.

In the past, the Qin army was calculated by winning the first rank. Nowadays, the musket is extremely powerful. In particular, Shangwen increased the caliber of the musket. Two types of rifles of point three-five, point-four caliber were used. It's very powerful. At a distance of forty paces, live sheep were fired, and after a platoon of shots, the live sheep were shot beyond recognition. Even the sheep's head was gone. If it were human, it might have been even worse. It is an indisputable fact that muskets are powerful. However, the way of calculating merit for winning the first rank will be changed. Because, in this way. It is very unreasonable that a powerful musket is bound to completely crush any enemy and take the head. And even later, that will happen. The Qin army completely defeated an enemy army, but it was unable to surrender a certain number of heads, and those heads were likely to be shattered. It could not be collected, so the victorious Qin army would also be subject to severe military law. This is likely to cause a mutiny. When Wei Yi thought of this, he felt that it was very tricky, and this matter could not be delayed. It must be resolved as soon as possible. So at the banquet, Wei Yu was still thinking about it.

Shang Wen didn't have the strength to participate in this kind of banquet at all. Shangwen is retooling the machine. Improvement of the steam engine. I have even started to try to make a hydraulic press. But tightness needs to be well addressed. Shang Wen wandered around, looking for a solution.

"King Qin, King Qin, save our Yan Kingdom." A young man with a disheveled hair suddenly ran out of the main hall. Everyone looked at the young man in panic. The envoy of Yan Kingdom tried his best to hug the young man.

"Drag it down, drag it down." King Qin frowned and said. Zhao Gao nodded and hurriedly waved his hand. The armor outside the hall quickly stepped forward and dragged out the young man with a disheveled head. The crowd whispered to each other. It turns out that this person is Dan, the prince of Yan Kingdom.
