The troops under Zhang Jiashi's command can march at a speed of about 30 kilometers in a day. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This figure is certainly relatively slow, but it is not too slow in the case of non-rapid marches and the basic weight of all troops. After all, a considerable part of Zhang Jia's division was heavy infantry.

You can't expect a unit with an average weight of 40 kilograms to run 30 kilometers in one go, even if the personnel of this era have been trained by Zhang Jiashi and some management according to the model of later generations, the physical strength of many officers and soldiers has been improved. But if you suddenly encounter the enemy, will the troops still have the original combat effectiveness after a long run?

This is, of course, no.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi chose to let the troops under his command advance slowly, anyway, in such a few days, the troops under Zhang Jiashi have not encountered a Japanese armed force that can be regarded as an established resistance.

......

Compared with Zhang Jiashi, who can be regarded as marching in the wilderness of Yima Pingchuan, Ruan Weng Shao, who needs to pass through a hilly area in the northwest of Kyushu Island, which is not too extended, does not have such a leisurely and leisurely feeling.

In contrast to the troops under the command of Zhang Jiashi, the more than 7,000 people under the command of Nguyen Weng Thieu encountered a small number of Japanese villages and even small towns in these hilly areas.

And many Japanese who were born as hunters, when they encountered the Qin army that attacked them in batches, used the method of hitting stones to hold on to their homeland or counter-charge the Qin army.

After receiving the report from the troops at the front, Nguyen Weng Thieu looked at the scout who conveyed the information in disbelief. He didn't expect that such an indigenous population, who looked even worse than the Samhans, would be able to cause some trouble to the troops in front.

In fact, although the weapons in the hands of these Japanese were indeed rudimentary, many of them did not have bows and arrows of bone at all, but were made directly from sharpened wooden poles or reed poles.

What made some Qin officers and soldiers who had captured some arrows feel incredible was that most of these rough arrows did not even have tail feathers to stabilize the arrow body, and the arrow body of some arrows was even more curved.

It can be said that with the strength of these people alone, it is impossible to bring a large number of casualties to the Qin army.

However, the geographical location of the other party is relatively much better, and between the mountains and forests, the Qin army troops who are not familiar with the local environment are also quite at a loss.

Although the number of Qin soldiers killed in battle was very small, or even negligible, the enemy was often under condescending or unexpected blows in the mountains and forests, and many Qin officers and soldiers were slightly wounded.

Such a fact made Nguyen Weng Thieu furious. After inspecting the wounded soldiers at the front, he roared, "These bastards, you know that you are playing in the shadows? ”

Nguyen Weng Thieu is very angry, whether the consequences are serious or not, I am afraid that these Japanese themselves know better.

After Nguyen Weng Thieu changed his combat methods, a large number of crossbowmen were placed behind hoplites who were used to assault villages or towns built by the Japanese in hilly areas, directly allowing the crossbowmen to rely on the superiority of their own weapons to suppress the inferior long-range weapons of the Japanese.

In addition to not having much effect on the Japanese hunters who swam in the mountains and forests and raided by surprise, this method of warfare had a very obvious effect on the defense forces of the Japanese entrenched in their own villages.

After a considerable number of Japanese villages or towns were breached and deprived of the population, many Japanese settlements were eventually burned with the corpses that had gathered slightly.

Although in some respects, Nguyen Weng Thieu's offensive method in order to clear the resistance on the road to the march was not wrong, but it also greatly delayed the convergence of his troops with the headquarters of Zhang Jia Division.

After Zhang Jiashi's scout troops contacted and exchanged with Ruan Weng Shao's troops, Zhang Jiashi, who got this information, smiled helplessly, after all, he also knew that Ruan Weng Shao couldn't say that he had done something wrong. After all, if it were him, he would naturally not be able to turn a blind eye to the forces that dared to resist.

"My lord, what are we going to do?"

It was Xiahou Ying who asked this question, and he knew very well that although the accompanying convoy and various supplies were quite sufficient, but in many ways, with the addition of such additional personnel consumption these days, Xiahou Ying was very clear that the food that was expected to be able to support about a month was estimated to be able to be consumed in more than 20 days.

Zhang Jiashi also knew such a situation, and he thought of a way, that is, the troops were stationed in this place now, and then used the vacant carriage to transport some prisoners and the corresponding supplies, and the knight troops of two or three hundred people were escorted, and returned to the beachhead base area where they landed, and transferred the corresponding materials again.

Zhang Jiashi's idea, Zhang Cang and Sun Po didn't think there was anything wrong, but Xiahou Ying thought of the problem, that is, these carriages should need to be modified accordingly to be able to complete Zhang Jiashi's task.

Zhang Jiashi nodded, and he immediately ordered the personnel accompanying the army to repair the equipment and make some corresponding improvements to the carriage.

......

In terms of this improvement, Zhang Jiashi thought of the horse-drawn prisoner cart. But it was clear that these carriages were not very suitable for this approach, and Zhang Jiashi thought of a compromise solution.

That is, he had those carriages with relatively short railings at the back, nailing a horizontal bronze plate to these railings, and fixing them accordingly, and then making holes in this bronze plate, using bridged composite bronze wooden poles, to make cages that looked quite stable.

This kind of transformation consumes some materials, but Zhang Jiashi believes that such a transformation is not completely useless, at least, it can be stuffed into more than ten Japanese, and the other party has no way to get out of this predicament, so it is naturally worth the money.

In the end, more than 100 wagons in the team left the temporary camp ordered by Zhang Jiashi, transported more than 1,000 Japanese prisoners along the way they came, and returned to the landing base area in the north under the escort of more than 300 knights.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Although Ruan Weng Shao did not come to the meeting according to the original plan due to some factors, Zhang Jiashi did not stay in this newly built camp. From time to time, he sent scouts to find out what was going on near the camp, and he sent some troops to gradually clear some of the outlying Japanese villages and towns.

It's just that, to Zhang Jiashi's surprise, two days later, a team of scouts sent by him to investigate the situation in the southwest region brought back a young man who was about ten years old.

The situation of the other party seemed to be very bad, and these scouts, who were mainly from the Liaodong County area, could not understand the accent of the Huaishui region of the other party, and out of helplessness, these scouts could only take the other party back to the camp after killing a few Japanese who were chasing the young man.

If there was no Qingyu Spirit Book, Zhang Jiashi naturally didn't know what this young man who was not much younger than him was talking about, but now Zhang Jiashi, after hearing that the other party was actually one of the three thousand boys and girls under Xu Fu's hands, directly squirted out a mouthful of water.

The Qingyu Lingshu also has inferences about this, but there is no description of where Xu Fu took root after arriving in Japan, and what happened to these people after that.

And from the mouth of this young man, he didn't know exactly where their camp was, but he could deduce that he should have stayed away from their camp after being caught in a trap hunting in the mountains.

After Zhang Jiashi heard this, he looked at Zhang Cang and Sun Po suspiciously.

Well, Sun Po doesn't know anything about this matter at all, and Zhang Cang is only slightly better, that is, he has been a royal historian of Xianyang after all.

After asking the other party some questions through Zhang Jiashi, Zhang Cang vowed to unify the language in the future, or to promote it to his own jurisdiction like Mandarin, and Zhang Jiashi got the other party's opinion from Zhang Cang's mouth.

"My lord, Xu Fu has deceived the first emperor, but these boys and girls ...... No, it should be these people who have taken root here and are very important to us. ”

What kind of subtext does Zhang Cang's words contain, Sun Po can understand it as soon as he hears it: Lord Zhang plans to use these people to establish a set of management methods near their settlements first, but Xu Fu is probably not so easy to accept this matter. “

Sun Po didn't know Xu Fu, but it didn't mean that he was very unfamiliar with this Fang Shi, who could be called the most famous Fang Shi in the Great Qin Empire.

And Zhang Jiashi naturally thought of this, he looked at Zhang Cang suspiciously, and said in a somewhat strange tone: "Xu Fu probably won't accept General Ben so easily, let alone that he will obey General Ben's orders." ”

Zhang Cang heard Zhang Jiashi's words, and the corner of his eye also saw Sun Po's slightly nodding demeanor, and then he said a very confident sentence to Zhang Jiashi: "My lord, if you have this concern, you might as well let Father-in-law Xi personally write a letter, what do you think?"

Zhang Jiashi didn't know why Zhang Cang suddenly mentioned Father-in-law Xi, but Zhang Jiashi, who knew that Zhang Cang would not say such a sentence for no reason, thought for a while, and nodded: "In this case, General Ben will write a letter and see how it works." ”

......

Zhang Jiashi's camp, converted into the geographical environment of Japan in later generations, is probably located in the north-central region of Kyushu Island.

And Zhang Jiashi learned that the so-called 3,000 boys and girls are actually 6,000 people, and with some additional personnel, the number is probably about 7,000 people.

And where are these 7,000 people?

Zhang Jiashi didn't know, and this little brother whose home was near Huaiyang didn't know either.

It's no wonder that you can't expect these people, who were children back then, to remember the route they sailed on without charts.

After many inquiries, Zhang Jiashi was very helpless that he did not get a more general conclusion.

Except that this place is likely to be in the area from the vicinity of Satsuma Prefecture in Japan to the southeastern part of Kyushu Island in later times, Zhang Jiashi has never been able to get an accurate information.

After all, it is more likely that the area that can be reached from the sea in Shandong is such an area.

Zhang Jiashi didn't know what to say, although Kyushu Island was not big, and using scouts to search this area might be a matter of a day or two.

But the helpless thing for Zhang Jiashi is that in the impression of this little brother who has no name, that is, in the southern to central areas of Kyushu Island, there is a relatively strong and quite large city.

In other words, the Japanese should have their own military force in this place. And, it is possible that it is not that rabble.

Of course, after Zhang Jiashi asked some details about this city, this little brother was not too impressed, after all, he was blindfolded and escorted to this city.

Zhang Jiashi didn't know what to say, so he had to say kind words to this little brother: "You take a rest first, General Ben will continue to go south when the time is right, if nothing happens, you can always see your home and familiar people." ”

After getting this accident, one of those people who went to sea to "disappear" that year, Zhang Jiashi can't say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

After all, it has been so many years since the other party left the Great Qin Empire, if the other party insists on resisting him, he can't kill him.

After glancing at the young man's background, Zhang Jiashi gently tapped his fingers on the table, and he fell into deep thought......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

In the following days, Zhang Jiashi still did not take the initiative to move south, but continued to wait for Nguyen Weng Thieu's troops.

Perhaps, without encountering that young man, Zhang Jiashi would lead the troops alone to continue the operation. But now it is not as usual, after knowing that the Japanese also have a relatively large force on Kyushu Island, Zhang Jiashi, who is more inclined to concentrate his troops, will not act rashly.

The progress of the troops under Nguyen Ong Thieu cannot be said to be fast, but it cannot be said to be slow. After all, in this kind of combat situation that requires fighting and advancing at the same time, it is difficult for the troops under Nguyen Weng Thieu to hurry up.

It was not until April 24, 208 BC that Nguyen Weng Thieu's troops, who were escorting more than 5,000 "prisoners", arrived at the camp where Zhang Jiashi was located.

After getting 157 people killed and more than 800 seriously wounded in the past few days, Zhang Jiashi didn't know what to say.

But he did not reproach the depressed Nguyen Weng Thieu, after all, in that environment, no matter how bad the Japanese were, they could make him suffer enough. Ruan Weng Shao led the army to deal with these "enemies" this time and paid this kind of casualties, which is certainly a very helpless thing for Zhang Jiashi, but more, Zhang Jiashi knows that he will not do better than Ruan Weng Shao.

And now Zhang Jiashi has encountered a problem, that is, the troops under the command of Nguyen Weng Thieu have more serious material consumption. Although Zhang Jiashi replenished some of the materials through that two-way transportation method, it may not be a good way to use the current materials to plan the troops to the south.

In the end, Zhang Jiashi had to make a trick to "draw wages from the bottom of the kettle", that is, to leave almost all the supplies in the camp, and then use the convoy to transport the personnel back to the landing base in the north as much as possible, and transport back a large number of various materials.

In other words, Zhang Jiashi had to wait a few days before he could decide how to proceed with the next battle plan.

For this camp, Zhang Jiashi thought that there was no need to leave people to guard it, but after thinking about a problem, Zhang Jiashi still had to leave 1,000 troops, mainly lightly wounded, to guard this camp.

Once again, the division of troops, such an arrangement, after Zhang Jiashi and Sun Po and others discussed, did not think that there was anything wrong with this.

After all, this part is mainly wounded officers and soldiers, and the problem of accompanying the army is relatively greater.

......

In the next few days, Zhang Jiashi sent a relatively large number of knight troops, along with the scouts in the team, to explore the area mainly to the south in batches.

Zhang Jiashi hoped that the knights would be able to clear a road and map the terrain relatively accurately.

However, what made Zhang Jiashi feel that he could not worry was not the problem from the south, but the Japanese on the island of Honshu seemed to have noticed that something was wrong and began to concentrate their troops to cross the sea.

Through several battle reports conveyed by Xiahou Ying, Zhang Jiashi's face was quite gloomy after reading them.

It's not that this time he encountered the attack of the Japanese ancestors from Honshu Island, which made him lose a considerable amount of troops, but the other side actually had enough shipping capacity to put three or four thousand troops, which made Zhang Jiashi have to worry about a problem, if he was unprepared and was attacked by the enemy, then he would have a lot of fun.

These three or four thousand Japanese have weapons in their hands...... Well, in Xiahou Ying's words, it is much better to use a pig-killing knife than it.

And three or four thousand people, under the command of Xiahou Ying, were quickly pushed back, if it were not to avoid the next landing that the enemy might carry out, and they were too far away from the camp to return to help, and lost this landing base, Xiahou Ying did not mind leading the army to drive them all into the sea, so that the other party could choose to swim back or drown.

Although it is said that Xiahou Ying's caution allowed these remnants of more than 1,000 Japanese to escape. And Xiahou Ying stayed in the camp for two or three days, and did not encounter any trouble.

However, Zhang Jiashi thought that Xiahou Ying's caution was correct, and if it were him, he would not continue to pursue the remnants of the enemy when there was basically an empty shelf left in the camp.

However, after receiving the news from the knight herald sent by Xiahou Ying, Zhang Jiashi knew that it was necessary for him to order Qin Min to lead the Lou Chuan Soldier Force to deal with the Japanese fleet located in the Seto Inland Sea.

After all, if the other party often gave him such a surprise, Zhang Jiashi knew that he would be really caught off guard by the other party sooner or later. In this case, it is better to directly let these Japanese fleets go to meet their Amaterasu.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi may not know that the Japanese "Aunt Amaterasu" has no time to pay attention to these trivial things in the mortal world now. Because the divine beasts from the Great Qin Empire, under the leadership of the Xuanniao King, formed a "monster farming group......

......

On a mountain peak in the Changbai Mountain area, a white-haired man in a strong suit looked at the southeast, quite a bleak loneliness......

"The wind is sluggish, and the water is cold...... Ah, who attacked me......"

A wine gourd flew directly to the man's forehead......

The man got up on the ground and saw a man in a black robe looking at him angrily.

"Why are you here?"

"Can't I come? After all, it's not a good time to wander around. ”

"Yes, after all, someone has to look after the house. ”

"You can actually understand this, you have changed your temper???"

"Of course, as a divine beast, you have to set an example no matter what. ”

“......”

Xuanniao looked at his old buddy angrily, and then said: "It should be said that what you did went too far, so that those idiots in the east saw you and took a detour, let you follow, they couldn't find a hair......"

Hearing what Xuanniao said, the man directly made an orl movement and lay down in the snow on the mountain peak......
