"To be honest, I think these Chu troops should be given a certain amount of harassment today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info," Zhai said to his company commander Zhang Rang.

"Why?" Zhang Rang asked.

"These Chu troops have finally come out, and today our people are going to attack. What is our task, that is, to delay them, but now, we have not carried out such a task at all, if the Chu army suddenly receives the news and returns, our company of troops will not be able to prevent them from returning to Jimo City, in this case, the pressure on our main force will be very great. Zhai analyzed.

"If we suppress and harass the other side, the other side will not be able to move an inch. In particular, our advantage is the marksman, and in the case of night, the fear caused by shooting the opponent is far greater than that during the day, they can see during the day, but at night, as long as we spread out enough, the opponent has no such opportunity at all. Zhai then suggested.

"You're right." Zhang Rang nodded.

"Without further ado, we started in the middle of the night. The three platoons are scattered, fighting separately, don't fall in love with the fight, just run if you fight"

Zhang Rang said.

"Sir, this understands, we've always been fighting like this." Zhai He said with a smile.

"Okay, let's get our people ready, and we'll do it in the middle of the night." Zhang Rang ordered.

Sinzheng, South Korea.

"You say, what is there in Liaobei?" Li Mu asked Li Zuoche, when the meeting was held today, Li Mu had been absent-minded. Li Zuoche felt very puzzled, his chief was always focused, and it was rare for such a thing to happen.

"Liaobei?" Li Zuoche was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Li Mu would ask about Liaobei, he never knew what Liaobei would have, and when he mentioned Liaobei, it was too sudden. He didn't even know how to answer.

"This. I don't know, but I heard that Liaobei is very barren, and there are no people, that place. I don't know much about it. Li Zuoche thought about it, and in his mind, Liaobei really didn't have any impression of him.

"If, one day, the Zhao State establishes its own colony in Liaobei, how much advantage do you say?" Li Mu asked.

"Where did Zhao establish a colony?" Li Zuoche asked.

"Yes." Li Mu nodded.

"This." Li Zuoche thought about it.

"Personally, I think that the establishment of a colony in northern Liaobei will first face a problem." Li Zuoche said.

"What's the problem?" Li Mu asked.

"Yan Guo." Li Zuoche said.

"If we want to establish a colony in northern Liaoning, whether it is a passage or the diplomatic problems we face after the establishment, we can't do without Yan, but the problem between us and Yan is really bad before, in this case, we still have to establish a colony in Liaobei, in this case, I don't know, how successful we will be." Li Zuoche said worriedly.

"If I were a businessman, I would definitely consider the risks, and the road is far away, there is no railway, there is a railway between Zhao and Yan, but it cannot be further passed to Liaodong, and then, Zhao's logistics and transportation problems have to be solved through Liaodong. The diplomatic issues involved are too complex. And that's not all. Li Zuoche continued.

"Recently, the situation in the Yan Kingdom is very bad, their border has found an attack by the Goguryeo tribes, although the first harassment, as long as anyone with a little insight, knows that next time, the Goguryeo people will definitely launch a second attack. The second attack will be very violent. So, I think that's when Zhao Guo got involved. I'm afraid the situation is not good. Li Zuoche said worriedly.

"So, where do you think Zhao is going to develop a colony?" Li Mu asked at this time.

"This." Li Zuoche shook his head and said.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Li Zuoche said.

"Huh. You can think about it now. What other direction can Zhao have to develop his colony? Li Mu said.

"This." Li Zuoche still analyzed it by himself.

"To the south of Zhao are Korea and Wei, and these two countries have a lot in common because of geography. South Korea has geographical advantages, to the west, they can do business with the Qin people, sell the products of the Qin people to the eastern countries, at the same time, the Koreans actively develop the maritime industry, Wei and South Korea just have the same demand, so the development direction of these two countries may be the sea, or trade in the middle. Li Zuoche analyzed. Li Mu nodded at this time and agreed, Li Mu also thought so.

"Judging from the recent information, South Korea wants to launch an attack on Chu, the most likely place is Jimo City, because South Korea has established its own navy, South Korea needs its own outlet to the sea, and Jimo is the best outlet to the sea, and the most important thing is that Jimo City is in the hands of the Chu people and not in the hands of the Qi people, the Koreans can take it back without being blamed by the Qi people, the Qi people and South Korea are very close, and the two sides have a great need for cooperation, Therefore, the strategy of the Koreans is to go south, then, the Wei people may be involved, and under the influence of the Koreans, the Qi people will also choose the direction of maritime strategy, and they may further develop the maritime strategy. Li Zuoche analyzed.

"Yes. I read the Qin military newspaper, especially the analysis of the Ministry of National Defense, the cost of fighting in the north is already very large, and the northern expansion may have to be stopped, and the next step of Qin's strategy is likely to be to stop and repair it well to consolidate their advantages in the north. In the southwest, especially in the area south of the Hexi Corridor, because of the geographical topography, that place is a plateau, it is impossible to accommodate more people, and the development of local industries is not expected to bring much benefit. So, that place, the development of colonies, I'm afraid it won't be too rich. Li Zuoche said.

"The south is the sphere of influence of the Chu people, and our Zhao State does not have a navy and cannot develop on the sea. At the same time, building a navy requires a lot of military spending, and we are afraid that we will not be able to accomplish such a thing. Zhao's economic situation is very bad, and we are very aware of this. Li Zuoche said.

"Develop to the west, in this way, Zhao State and Qin State have the same strategic intentions, behind Qin State, Zhao State may not get much benefit, in contrast, the development of Liaobei is relatively much easier." Li Zuoche said.

"The Yan State is weak, they are unable to expand northward, and the national strength of my Zhao State has increased slightly, at this time, if we occupy Liaobei and cooperate with the Yan State, maybe our Zhao State can still get some benefits, and such benefits are still very obvious to the Zhao State." Li Zuoche said.

"Yes, I just take this into account, it seems that there is no chance in Liaobei. This is not the case. Li Mu said.

"The state of Yan is weak and unable to deal with the crisis in Goguryeo, North Korea, if we can enter, we can smoothly open the passage to northern Liao. Not only that, there may be greater resources in northern Liaoning, what kind of resources are specific, we are not clear, for example, we Zhaoguo, Yunzhong, Daijun two places, we did not expect that there will be a large number of coal mines, if there are more coal mines in Liaobei, or iron ore resources, this will be of great help to us to develop the steel industry, therefore, I decided that the next colony of Zhao should be placed in northern Liaoning. Instead of continuing to put on that plateau. Li Mu thought about it and said.

"In this way, we should send people to actively go deep into Liaobei to prospect for minerals in Liaobei or other aspects of reconnaissance work." Li Zuoche suggested.

"The crux of the problem is not here, the layout work is easy to do, and we can do it now, the question is, how can we make Zhao Guo and Yan Guo walk together?" Li Mu thought about it and said.

"This, Prime Minister, we might as well take the route of Qin, Yan State has to ask for Qin, and our Zhao State needs Qin's funds, and at the same time, our Zhao State also needs Qin State Bank to invest in the development of colonies, in this case, we can say that Qin State is involved." Li Zuoche thought about it and said.

"Yes." Li Mu said at this time.

"You know what?" Li Mu said to Li Zuoche.

"The matter of Liaobei was brought up by the Prime Minister of Qin, at that time, I was just a little strange, what kind of intention did the people of Qin have when they proposed such a thing, but now it seems that everything is understood." Li Mu said.

"The people of Qin already have such a plan, let us Zhao people, develop to northern Liao, in this way, and they Qin people have just changed the bank's profit strategy, so that their investment has a direction." Li Mu said.

"In this way, the people of the Qin State have already seen this one step ahead of us." Li Zuoche said.

"That's true, it seems that it is necessary for us to develop north through the Qin State on this issue." At this time, Li Mu decided that the strategic direction of Zhao was the northeast. Although this may be the same as Yan Guo, he believes that Zhao Guo will have a greater advantage.

"Be careful, every two people are in a group, everyone spreads, scatters." Zhai He waved his arms quietly, allowing the others to spread out and exert their respective combat effectiveness.

"You kid follow me. Don't run around. Zhai said to Zheng Zhong.

"This, sir." Zheng Zhong wanted to fight alone, but his commander stopped him.

"I know you kid wants to run around alone. This is the battlefield, be careful that you get killed, your marksmanship is good, but not calm enough. Follow me. I command you. Zhai said to Zheng Zhong.

"Yes, sir." Zheng Zhong had no choice but to follow behind Zhai He, they were lying on the ground, getting closer and closer, and the others lowered their bodies and scattered around as much as possible, and each group spread out according to their own intentions.

"Follow me, don't lose it." Zhai pulled Zheng Zhong and said.

"Yes, sir." Zheng Zhong was extremely unhappy, because of his outstanding marksmanship, he was willing to work alone, unwilling to cooperate, although the chief was very good to him, but he was still unhappy, there was no way, since the chief stopped him. He had no choice but to do so.

Inside the Chu army barracks.

"Whew, whew." Uncle Chen fell asleep wrapped in his blanket, he hid behind a trench, hugged his gun, wrapped the blanket tightly, no matter what happened outside, he felt that it had nothing to do with him.

"This guy." Yan San was awakened by the flying insects. He got up and looked at Uncle Chen on the side, this guy slept like a dead pig, and he didn't care about what was happening outside.

"Damn, I can really sleep." Yan San looked at Uncle Chen and scolded. He felt his mouth a little dry, so he took a sip of water from the water bladder. He felt that the heat in his mouth had decreased. Then he poured two puffs, and his drowsiness disappeared all at once. Yan San couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

"Hey, this guy sleeps like a dead man, I can't sleep if I want to." Yan San scolded.

"Forget it, get up and take a look around you. Don't really sleep all night. Yan San got up, found his musket, put on the bayonet, lowered his body and looked out. There is a moon in the sky, but it can only see a few hundred steps away, and if you want to see farther, you have to stand higher. The soldiers of the Chu army ate okay, but there was less salt, and there were some people who could not see clearly during the night march, which was a typical night blindness, although they were close to the sea, there should be enough sea salt, but the people of Qi ran almost the same, and provided very little salt, plus the military discipline of the Chu army was poor, many soldiers were robbing food, so that many Chu troops actually did not get enough salt.

Yan San looked at the surrounding situation, there was nothing abnormal, he felt very quiet. Such silence made him feel nothing.

"Whoa." Just then, a bird flew in the distance. Yan San subconsciously lay on the ground, and the bullets flew, usually hitting the people who were standing, which was the experience summed up in the war. A Chu soldier not far away also seemed to notice the situation here, and he looked this way.

Yan San lowered his body as much as he could, he felt that it had happened too suddenly. There must be a problem here, he thinks, there may be a crisis in it.

"Hey, hey." At this moment, Yan San wanted to call Uncle Chen up.

"Hey, Lao Chen, don't sleep. There is a case. Yan San shouted quietly. And Uncle Chen just waved his arm. It was as if someone was bothering him.

"This guy." Yan San scolded.

"Bang." Just then a gunshot rang out. Yan San subconsciously lay on the ground. He knew someone had opened fire. The bullets were flying in which direction, and he didn't know either.

A gunshot broke the silence of the night.

"Bang bang. Bang. "After the gunshots, more gunshots were heard.

"Woo." The flying bullets flew past Yan San's scalp, and Yan San suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Oh my God." Yan San didn't dare to stay any longer. He immediately rolled into the trench where Uncle Chen slept. This is the only place where you can dodge the bullets that come in your way.

"What's going on?" Uncle Chen was awakened by the sound of gunshots. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that something must have happened.

"Be quiet, don't move." Yan San's face was covered in cold sweat, and then he hurriedly stopped Chen Bo's further movements.

"What's wrong?" Uncle Chen asked.

"Sneak attack, someone shot at us, it is estimated that there are a lot of people, and the bullets are particularly strange." Yan San said to Uncle Chen.

"Bullets, what's wrong with bullets?" Uncle Chen asked at this time.

"This." Yan San couldn't say it himself at this time. He always felt that the bullet was very strange.

"Whew." Just then, a bullet flew over their heads. The two of them were surprised You look at me, I look at you, Chu Jun is holding a flintlock pistol, it is impossible for the bullet to fly over so quickly, they can hear that the person who fired the gun is still far away from them, at least more than two hundred steps, such a distance, the bullet can still fly like this, which is beyond the scope of their consciousness.

"This, just now, this bullet, too, too powerful." Chen Bo reacted first at this time.

"That's it. Such a bullet is too powerful. Listening to the sound of gunfire, they are far away from us, and it is really strange that bullets can fly like this when they shoot at such a distance. Yan San continued.

"Like, I don't even believe my eyes." Chen Bo said.

"Come out, come out, shoot the attackers." At this moment, an officer shouted not far away.

"Don't go out, this bullet hits far, and I see that it flies very fast and steadily, which is completely different from the gun we are holding, we can't hit the other party at all, but will fill ourselves in. We're going to stay here and don't move. Uncle Chen shook his head at this time and said.

"I, that's what I mean." Yan San swallowed a mouthful of saliva at this time and said. To be honest, such a bullet has made him obviously feel a lot of pressure. Let him go out and shoot, he really doesn't want to do that. After all, this is for nothing, he knows very well the performance of the weapon in his hand, shooting and shooting, there is no way to fight against the advantage of the opponent's weapon, their bullets are like drunks, within thirty steps, they can also ensure that the bullets go in a certain straight line, more than thirty steps, basically don't think about it. Bullets fly by sheer luck. To be able to hit the enemy is complete shit luck.

"Let's wait." Uncle Chen said patiently. In his opinion, the weapons they were holding in their hands would not work at all, and there was a lot of gunfire outside, and their gunshots sounded very noisy and chaotic. And the gunshots in the distance sounded very crisp and powerful. It was a very asymmetrical battle.

"Hey, kill another one." Zheng Zhong excitedly pulled the bolt, withdrew the bullet case, and then reloaded.

"It's time for us to shift our positions." Zhai He looked at the situation in the distance and said.

"Sir, it's okay, I've killed nine in a row. I'll make it whole, and we'll move again. Zheng Zhong said to his superior.

"Don't mess around. This is a battle, and the light from the shooting will definitely reveal our position, don't mess around, follow me. As he spoke, Zhai pulled Zheng Zhong away and shifted his position.

Zheng Zhong had no choice.

Inside the camp of the Chu army. Nangong Shao was lying under a chariot, he was a little scared, but more annoyed.

"Shoot, shoot me." Nangong Shao ordered loudly. But many soldiers were lying on the ground in a panic, and some were shooting, and Nangong Shao shouted loudly.

"Poof." Just as Nangong Shao was shouting loudly, a soldier on the side of the chariot was hit and fell to the ground, the bullet hit the opponent's neck, and blood sprayed Nangong Shao's face.

"Phew. Bah. Bah. Nangong Shao had some blood in his mouth. The blood made him feel very sick, and he spat continuously. And the fallen soldier was bleeding from the broken neck, and he didn't even look at it.

"It's fucking disgusting." Nangong Shao scolded loudly, not only in his mouth, but also on his face, Nangong Shao kept wiping the blood on his face.

"Fuck off." Nangong Shao kicked the soldier away in annoyance, and he felt that his mouth was almost sick to death. He was very annoyed by this.

"Major General." At this moment, a lieutenant ran over and looked at Nangong Shao worriedly.

"Get that guy out of the way and get me some water." Nangong Shao shouted loudly. He was annoyed.

"This. Good. Checkmate. "There is no way for the school captain, he knows that Nangong Shao is a difficult lord to serve.

The harassment continued, and the Chu army was basically beaten passively overnight, and they could only hide as much as possible. so as not to be hit by a bullet. In that case, they would die too resignedly. If you accidentally get shot, the lightest of them is amputation and scratching the skin, then you are very lucky. If you accidentally hit a vital point, for example, your lungs, or your stomach is opened, you are basically declared dead. The medical skills in the Chu army are very poor, there are very few doctors, and no one will do simple bandaging, let alone stop bleeding. Injuries are basically standing with death.

After a night, the Chu soldiers were tossed a lot, and they continued to advance, and a small group of soldiers was sent out to search for the enemy.

"Be careful, I don't think the ones from last night are far yet." Chen Bo lowered his body and grabbed Yan San and said.

"Lao Chen, look, what did I find?" At this time, Chen Bo said to Yan San. They were ordered to come out and search for enemy troops. And Uncle Chen lowered his body at the end, he was afraid of standing high and receiving a shot.

"Look." As he spoke, Uncle Chen took out a bullet casing.

"Copper. What is this thing? Yan San asked strangely.

"Yes. Copper, there is a smell of gunpowder in it, but the smell is not as big as ours. Uncle Chen said to Yan San.

"You say, this is, their submunition pack?" Yan San reacted suddenly.

"Yes. I think so, too, but these people are too rich. I even took copper to make a submunition pack. Chen Bo said.

"Don't say it, I remember something." At this time, Yan San suddenly remembered something.

"Do you remember Qi Jun? They have such weapons in their hands, that kind of pistols, and they fire such submunition packs, all copper. A bullet is expensive to die, and the people who attacked us yesterday must have money. Yan San continued.

"Oh my God." Uncle Chen was startled and said.

"What's wrong?" At this time, Yan San asked.

"If we fight a war with such a person, we will die." Uncle Chen said badly.
