663. The heir of the god of killing
The sound of horses' hooves gradually rose, and sure enough, a group of people wearing Qin army armor came.
These teams, the queue is neat, the system is strict, seeing their queue, I suddenly realized, why the final battlefield is in Chu Han, it turned out to be because the Qin army in this period is simply an open existence.
You must know that one of the five most powerful armies in Chinese history is the army of Qin, they are as brutal as the Mongols, of course they are not barbarians, unlike the Mongols or the Japanese who slaughtered the city, they slaughtered soldiers as brave as them, and the Zhao army of 400,000 in the first battle of Changping!
They were not nomads, they may not be as bloodthirsty as the Mongols, but they absolutely craved war, and when they heard that there was going to be war, they were shirtless and impatient, and they didn't care about life or death......
With their heads in their left hands and captives under their right arms, they pursued and killed their opponents...... And they are good at riding and shooting.
It is impossible to tell which of the Mongols or the Qin will prevail in a single battle, but I believe that the Mongols would rather encounter wild beasts.
The hierarchy of the disciplined army and the legal and criminal laws reached unprecedented heights at that time, and it can be said that the Qin army was a group of war machines.
No dynasty can reach the level of the Qin Dynasty in terms of rewards and punishments, so they are not afraid of death, so they will snatch the heads of their enemies.
The establishment of the Qin army is generally at the level of one million, which can be called a torrent of steel.
Weapons of different eras are basically the same size, the bow and crossbow is one of the best weapons against cavalry, and the strongest crossbowmen in Chinese history came from the Qin Dynasty.
Later experts estimated that the range of this Qin crossbow should be able to reach 300 meters, and the effective killing distance was within 150 meters. The Qin army used this kind of crossbow to drive the Huns north of the Yellow River in a short time. The Qin army also had a type of heavy infantry, armed with heavy spears.
As far as I know, since the discovery of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in 1974, the archaeological staff found the remains of a 6.3-meter-long spear handle, plus the spear head, the complete spear is close to 7 meters, which is used to charge the group phalanx and be invincible.
Moreover, the Qin State was the most developed agricultural country at that time, with advanced agricultural production tools and technology, and just defending the city could starve the Mongols to death, who could only destroy.
The population of the Qin army was large, nearly 10 million.
What is the concept that such a population can support more than a million troops to fight abroad all year round? If the Mongol Empire fought for more than 80 years, and the Qin State fought wars for more than 500 years from a small country to unify China, no country would be more able to fight wars than him, a country that was meritocracy, and the monarch's control of the army was more effective than its later dynasties.
It can be said that many people have completed this black army at the same time, or it can be said that Qin Shi Huang destroyed this army alone, he dreamed of immortality, did not set up a prince, an idiot plus an incomplete man plus a narrow-minded person ruined this empire and this invincible army.
But today's Qin State is crushing to any country, and the defeat of the Chu army is enough to prove all this.
Now the black army that appeared outside the village was mighty, and no one had come over, but the monstrous military might had been suppressed, making people breathless.
After a while, a sentry with a command flag came to the opposing army's formation, and the sentry at least came over, came to the entrance of the village and said, "The general asks the village chief here to come and speak." ”
"This ......" Pan Lao hesitated, and he looked at me.
I frowned, gritted my teeth and said, "I'll go." ”
"Uncle, this won't work, in case they ......" Pan Lao was still very worried.
I laughed and said, "If they were going to attack, I'm afraid they would have come here a long time ago, but they didn't, so I think there is still room for things to turn around." ”
"Alright then, be careful." Pan Lao Dao.
I mounted my horse and followed the sentry, who led me into the middle of the opposing army.
After a closer look, I found that these Qin troops were very rigorous, and when they saw me, they made a way out of the way, and a burly man with a black metal helmet got off a sturdy horse.
The horse was tall and wearing black horse armor.
"You're the village chief here?"
"Back to the general, I am the son-in-law of the village chief, my father is sick, and I can't come to receive the general in person, and I ask the general to forgive me." I said respectfully.
The general laughed, and I also saw it, this is Bai Xiong, that is, the general of this Qin army.
As far as I know, the white male in front of him should be Bai Qi's heir.
If Bai Qi is still alive, I am afraid that he is definitely a legendary hero, he has the reputation of killing gods, and has commanded many important battles. Broke the Chu army, invaded Yingdu, and forced the Chu State to move its capital, and the Chu State has been in a slump since then.
The Battle of Yique annihilated the 240,000 allied troops of Han and Wei, completely sweeping the eastward advance of the Qin army.
The Battle of Changping annihilated 450,000 Zhao troops in one fell swoop, creating the earliest and largest precedent in Chinese history to encircle and annihilate the enemy. There were more than 70 battles of all sizes, no defeats, from the lowest-level military attache to the title of military Anjun, and the six countries were terrified.
A total of 450,000 people were killed in the Battle of Changping, together with the 240,000 beheadings of the previous attack on Han and Wei Yuyique, the drowning of hundreds of thousands in the city of Yan and the water in the attack on Chu, the beheading of 130,000 in Huayang during the attack on Wei, the 20,000 in the battle with the Zhao general Jia Yan, and the beheading of 50,000 in the Chengcheng of Han and Han, a total of more than 1 million.
According to Liang Qichao's research, a total of 2 million people died during the entire Warring States period, and Bai Qi was based on one-half, and later disagreed with King Qin Zhaoxiang on the issue of whether to attack Zhao again, and was replaced by Wang Di, and since then he has withdrawn from the stage of history.
Bai Qi's art of operational command represents the level of development of warfare during the Warring States period. He is good at analyzing the situation between the enemy and us, and then adopts a correct strategic and tactical approach to attack the enemy.
For example, in the battle of Yique, the forces were concentrated and each was broken; the heart-digging tactics in the Battle of Yan Ying, with water attacks; The Battle of Huayang was a long-distance rush. The Battle of Changping lured the enemy from the established position with a feint of defeat, and then divided and surrounded the tactics, destroying 450,000 enemies, creating the largest annihilation war in the history of the pre-Qin war.
The white male in front of him also has a bit of a white shadow on his body, at least the murderous aura on his body is very heavy.
"Let me ask you, did you see a group of soldiers in bright white armor passing by?" Hakuo stared at me, and I knew that if I said I hadn't seen it, it would be suspicious.
I forced a smile on my face, and I said, "General, the grass people don't dare to lie, there are indeed people in bright white armor passing by, and there are many ......."
"Sure enough!" Bai Xiong gritted his teeth and looked into the distance, "Where did they go?" ”
"From here, it's going east."
"To the east? Further east is the sea, if you have half a lie, according to the law of Great Qin, your whole village will be convicted! Hiding the rebels, that's not just talking! Bai Xiong said.
"The grass people don't dare to lie."
"You're lying, I see that there are horseshoe prints here, but they are not facing east, they are heading west, are you Qin people, or ...... You are also the remnant of the Chu State? "Bai Xiong's eyes were like light bulbs, staring at me deadly.
I lowered my head and said, "Actually, these people have taken a lot of food from our village, and threatened us that if their whereabouts are revealed, they will kill all 300 people in our village...... We are all crop growers, where can we withstand such a threat? So...... So we did what they said. ”
"That's what they say?"
"They said that after they left, let us use a broom to remove all the horseshoe prints from the ground." I said.
"It's a good Xiang Liang, and his mind is quite thoughtful, but now it's getting late, we plan to stay in your village for the night, you go and prepare some food, go quickly!" Bai Xiong said.
The other party has 10,000 people, if all the food is found in the village, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist the appetite of their 10,000 people, and my people have also consumed a lot of food in the village, thinking of this, I rolled my eyes and said: "General, this matter is difficult to do......"
"What, don't you know that the people along the way of the Qin army must give food supplies?"
"It's not that I don't know, but I don't have ...... Give them all our food......" I sighed as I said it, and then glanced at Bai Xiong.
