345 offensive and defensive reversal
The next day. The Qin army sent a large number of personnel to clean up the battlefield. Because the corpses of the Yueshi people are piled up a lot. These bodies need to be cleaned up in a timely manner. Otherwise, a large number of germs will be transmitted. The Qin army now learned to keep the battlefield tidy. Know that this is an effective way to reduce non-combat attrition. The Yueshi people will not come to collect the corpse. They have retreated far away. They have collapsed. I don't want to fight with the Qin army anymore.
Shang Wen came here in time to find out the situation. Condolences to the soldiers about how they are doing. Shang Wen felt his morale high as soon as he got off the airship. They finally got their revenge. The attack. The losses of the Qin army were extremely minor. Only two people were slightly injured. Shang Wen was very happy when he heard it.
The supply of supplies in the field has also begun to gradually recover under the new cable transport. The soldiers were already well fed and clothed.
"I don't think it will take long. You can take a hot shower. Shang Wen said with a smile after learning about the soldiers' supply situation. The soldiers were very happy when they heard this. It shows that their supply lines have been completely restored. And some officers were keenly aware that the Qin army must have made a big move.
In fact. The Qin army was gathering all the troops, manpower, and material resources they could muster. The plan was to start selecting a landing ground two hundred miles upstream of the Yellow River and sending a second new force. They had 30,000 horses. 10,000 infantry. Artillery mixed men. Twenty thousand were all cavalry. Among them were also 10,000 reserve cavalry. They don't have a uniform attire. The Qin army just issued them some flags. Numbering. A small number of light artillery. and a large number of government bonds. In addition to these. There's nothing left in it. Even their commanders are elected by themselves to serve with a certain prestige. Qin Jun simply wrote his name on a letter of appointment. And then a force was born.
The government promised. They have their share of the spoils. The dead will be offered a high return of one hundred acres of land. These treatments. The regular army of Qin did not have any. A lot of people attended. They have horse-drawn carriages. Horses are not a problem. Muskets are also not a problem. Some of the weapons in their hands were better than the equipment of the Qin army. Combat experience is not at all worse than those soldiers who went into battle. Many of them are veterans. Plus participation in hunting activities. This was able to provide them with slaves. If you take it to Xianyang and sell it. It's also a lot of money. The reason why they did not join the army. It's just because they're not that lucky. Registration is late. Or simply don't know.
It's good now. The state re-recruited them. Naturally, they would like to. It's not just about good pay. They're more of a responsibility. Liability. This was repeatedly emphasized at the beginning of the establishment of the new Qin army. These people and the army repeatedly dealt with each other. Let them be dimly aware of the concept of the state. This is above the concept. They are aware of the sense of responsibility on their shoulders. This is a manifestation of patriotism. It is spontaneous. It is the charisma of this powerful country. Bring them together. Now the state needs them. They didn't say anything. They stepped forward. Not why.
The Qin army began to assemble after a simple reorganization of them. But the commander of this large army is not chosen for the time being. Shang Wen proposed Wang Ben. Wang Jian disagreed. Thinks his son is too frizzy. Unhappy. But Shang Wen thought that Wang Ben was bold. Good at attacking. Wang Jian took into account that there were no other candidates in the army. He had no choice but to appoint his son as the commander of that crucial army.
The troops intensified to assemble at the new crossing. It's not time yet. There is also a large amount of ice at the mouth of the river. But it is estimated that it will soon pass. It's just a matter of time.
Shang Wen then inspected some of the forward positions. The frenzied attack of the Yueshi people has stopped. The huge cost of casualties forced them to stop this senseless offensive. The front became quiet. None of the parties had any plans to bother anyone. Shang Wen thought that he could let the military band come up and play it. Boost morale. By the way, relax a little.
However, the officers were not interested in these. They were interested in the six-barreled god of fire. They need this powerful weapon. And strongly requested. This weapon must be used by the infantry. Go without saying. Artillery and infantry engaged in fierce questions of attribution. Shang Wen was helpless in the end. It can only be said that a large order has been placed in the rear before everyone has it.
This operation. A large number of new weapons appeared. And in real combat. A lot of weapons are starting to be refined. This illustrates. The gains brought about by the weapons reform had already been digested within the Qin army. And by digestion itself. The specific development of weapons is being gradually explored. And this is no longer something that Shang Wen can interfere with. Because of a lot of things. They themselves have already begun to develop it. It's very fast.
Looking at the quiet Yue's military camp in front of the position. Shangwen began to feel very pitiful for them.
The situation of the Yueshi people is indeed pitiful. But no one will have mercy on them. This is the battlefield. Everything is self-inflicted.
A large number of wounded. It's irritating. Wounds from musket artillery. In particular, the Qin army used a large number of dummy bullets and flowering bullets. These traumas are something that the Yueshi people have never seen before. Even a minor bayonet stabbing. It's also a big blood hole. There are no effective medications. There is no clean water source to clean the wound. As a result, many wounds worsened. Pain torments them. Some people can't stand it. Kill yourself directly with a knife. This is undoubtedly a wise move. The painful moans of a large number of wounded broke the hearts of the Yue's people. 150,000 troops. More than 50,000 people were killed. And there are nearly 20,000 injuries and illnesses.
Fail. Injury. Homesickness. A series of factors have led to the extremely low morale of the Yueshi people. They began to be war-weary. Despair makes them restless. The Yueshi people are no longer possible. There is also no ability to attack. But the order of the king of the Yue clan kept them going. Siege of the Qin army. This order seems to have been given to the Qin army. It was not the Qin army that was besieged. It's yourself. On one side of Helan Mountain is the Gobi Desert. It's a desert. These make it difficult for the Yueshi people to replenish. Plus the cold at night. The army rushed out to battle. Many soldiers froze to death. There was also a large amount of wind chill prevalent in the barracks. King Yue didn't care about any of that. What he needs is victory. Victory. For this. He decided to recruit a new army to step up the extermination of the Qin army. He will personally lead the army into battle.
Comparatively. The Qin army has been equipped in all aspects. It's the right time to wait. The war has been reversed. The initiative in the war was in the hands of the Qin army. They have a stronger advantage. Strike a fatal blow at the Yueshi people. And the Yueshi people are newly defeated. I don't know about it.
