Chapter 176

readx;? How many troops Wang Jiancheng had in the middle of the army directly affected the decision-making of the top leaders of the Qin army, including Zhang Jiashi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info novel.2

According to Li Zuoche's inference, the decisive condition for achieving this operation was to destroy the enemy's living forces outside the city as much as possible.

However, including Yuma, and even Li Zuoche himself knew very well that the difficulty of doing this was basically impossible.

Not to mention anything else, just because the enemy set up a battle formation with his back against Wang Jiancheng, it would not be too difficult to retreat back into the city. On the contrary, it was impossible for them to make the troops pay too much for a direct pursuit.

The situation of field battles and siege warfare is completely different in many cases, and no one can directly attack a fortified city without adequate preparation, which is undoubtedly death.

Although Zhang Jiashi and the others also believed that the person named Wen Xu was indeed sincere, in this case, even if the other party directly opened the city gate and then united to fight with the other garrisons of Wang Jiancheng, there was not much chance of victory.

In order for Wen Xu to open the west gate as agreed, there is a premise that they must control the scene.

If they can't do it themselves, then don't blame others for not fulfilling their promises. This is very clear to everyone, including Zhang Jiashi.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Jiashi still decided to use the various instruments that had been transported from Liaodong County in the past few days.

......

Some time ago, the military headquarters of Liaodong County began to mass-produce new bed crossbows and new pouting crossbows.

Unlike the fine products that Zhang Jiashi requested a few months ago, this new bed crossbow has been simplified in many places in order to be able to use that "rough" crossbow.

The bed crossbow or pouting crossbow produced in this way has many disadvantages, such as range, accuracy and reliability are weakened to varying degrees.

However, these new bed crossbows and pouting crossbows also have advantages that cannot be compared with high-quality products.

Mass production quantities are higher, easier to maintain or replace damaged parts, effective use of the corresponding crossbow in stock, lighter weight, etc. One of the most important advantages is that these crude weapons are relatively cheap in many ways.

This is also what Zhang Jiashi values, after all, even if the production degree and quantity of high-quality products are comparable to these rough products, in terms of cost, it is not something that Zhang Jiashi can easily accept.

Moreover, this gap in performance is only relative to the high-quality products, and compared with the corresponding crossbows of the Great Qin Empire before, these products can be called all-round improvements.

Whether it is the intensity or reliability or something, the quality of the new products is quite good, and the cost has not increased too much, which is the main reason why Zhang Jiashi ordered mass production.

As opposed to crossbow weapons, the bow and arrow production department in the military construction made the first longbows that resembled Japanese longbows.

Although Zhang Jiashi is not very optimistic about the Japanese longbow, as Bai Qi said, in his world, being able to continue to modern times is itself a product of eliminating the weak and retaining the strong.

Moreover, after actual testing, these longbows made of high-quality wood and current processing methods, with good quality hardwood pole metal arrows, can actually shoot through some poor-quality metal armor in 1oo meters.

In the case of projectile, it can also effectively shoot through leather armor within 2oo meters, although this effect is a bit unsatisfactory, but it cannot be denied that this imitation of the Japanese longbow can be used with knights to shoot.

And in the hands of some skilled cavalry archers, the hit rate within a hundred meters is actually much better than that of the current Qin army's cavalry bow.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi planned to use the opportunity of this attack on North Korea to verify whether there was any possibility of expanding the production of these produced longbows.

The cost of these longbows is not low, and the cost of high-quality longwoods, longer and higher quality ribs, has become the main reason for the corresponding increase in cost.

Zhang Jiashi did not intend to use metal raw materials to make the bow body, but before the actual combat effect came out, Zhang Jiashi did not plan to conduct research orders in this regard.

Because the things made are like chicken ribs, it is difficult for Zhang Jiashi to accept that such a thing was born to him.

......

As for the next discussion, how to carry out this battle outside Wang Jiancheng, Zhang Jiashi did not say anything, he asked Yujian and Li Zuoche and others to be fully responsible for this aspect of the matter after discussion.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that he had absolute rights to such things, but Zhang Jiashi, who was not very experienced in field battles, wanted to be able to observe and learn.

There is no way to do this, and the field combat experience he led his troops seems to be limited to the time he went out of the Great Wall and bullied the Donghu people with the long range of the crossbow chariot.

And after everything was almost discussed, Zhang Jiashi summoned the North Korean again, asked the other party to repeat his thoughts to Wen Xu, and carved a bamboo slip with oracle bone script, and asked the other party to pass it on his behalf.

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

In the next few days, Wang Jiancheng and more and more Qin troops rushed to support, and there was no direct battle between the two sides.

This also shows from the side that the high-level North Korean leaders in Wang Jiancheng may also be planning to defeat the main force of the Qin army and decide the outcome in a battle.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi will not say that he also needs time to train the troops equipped with new weapons a little in such a situation.

Although a large number of corresponding Qin officers and soldiers are some good hands who have been trained for a long time, the equipment of new weapons also needs time to be run-in. After all, not too many people were equipped with these weapons before this.

And the Qin army scouts who were in charge of the vigilance did not show any signs of Wang Jiancheng taking the initiative to attack.

Although it is said that the consumption of military food for the army to go abroad is indeed quite large, compared with the million-level melee such as the Battle of Changping, the food stock in Liaodong County is still very sufficient.

After all...... Zhang Jiashi's current personnel transferred to the DPRK region, or some other consumption, are only 40,000 or 50,000 people. Moreover, with the clean-up of some small clans and powerful landlords some time ago, the Qin army troops in the north were not short of food.

It can be said that in this case, it will not be Zhang Jiashi and the Qin troops under his command who will not be able to sit still and act rashly, but the high-level North Korean leaders in Wang Jiancheng.

In addition, the Samhan tribe entrenched in the south of Minzi Korea also seems to be planning to send troops to fish in troubled waters, and Han Shin, who has long been on guard against this, directly saw the gap in civilization with a group of "savages" whose equipment was even more shabby than that of Minzi Korea in a small battle of less than 1,000 people......

Han Xin didn't even take this battle seriously, but sent someone to send the list of meritorious officers and soldiers to Zhang Jiashi, and continued to do what he had often done during this period of time......

Maybe this kind of "primitive tribe" where almost everyone is a soldier will bring a little trouble to Han Xin and Du Cong, but everyone knows very well that the rice should be eaten slowly bowl by bowl, and the goal of their group is not to exchange the level of these "savages" for money and rewards, but to solve the problem of Wang Jiancheng first.

......

Of course, Zhang Jiashi also encountered troubles......

Well...... looked at Mo Yan'er, who slept in his tent......

Well, Zhang Jiashi can calm down that is called a problem.

Although it is no stranger to Mo Yan'er, in this case, Zhang Jiashi still can't accept such an arrangement.

However, Uncle Sun Zhong, who was supposed to be Zhang Jiashi's personal guard, actually ran back to Dingxiang City directly after Mo Yan'er came.

"What kind of situation is this?" Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but laugh after knowing this fact. After all, he had no impression that he had given such an order.

Although it is true that Mo Yan'er and Uncle Sun Zhong are also the captains of the personal guards in terms of their current positions, if he remembers correctly, he has not cared about the affairs of the inner courtyard for a long time. He had already arranged for Father-in-law Xi to be fully responsible for this situation.

And now find Father-in-law Xi to ask this question? Forget it, the demons that his subordinates can handle are Father-in-law Xi and Mo Hong, if he encounters a few masters who raid the mansion and no one controls the scene, except for any problems, he has no place to cry.

Zhang Jiashi, who figured this out, really couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't even know how to solve this problem now.

Drive Mo Yan'er back...... This idea is good, but whether Mo Yan'er will listen to his order or not is still in doubt.

And turn a blind eye to Mo Yan'er?

Don't be kidding, okay? Zhang Jiashi didn't encounter something that made him embarrassed, that is, when Mo Yan'er first entered his tent, he happened to be taking a bath......

Well, Zhang Jiashi, who was almost not directly looked at by a group of girls, is really able to play hooliganism. This is not his character......

In short, Zhang Jiashi faced this girl who occasionally lost her brain, and there were all kinds of helplessness, all kinds of speechlessness and all kinds of embarrassment.

As for what the other party is thinking...... Don't ask him, Zhang Jiashi asked himself, he is not an immortal or a non-human, and he doesn't know the kind of mind-reading technique that defies the sky......

If it was known that he, General Zuo, was actually screamed by a group of girls, he would almost not be able to see a fine light......

Well, or the dignified General Zuo of the Great Qin Empire, who was almost not directly pushed back by a group of "brutal girls" in his own military camp, and the tens of thousands of troops under his command may not be faceless.

In short, Zhang Jiashi swore that if he knew who he had been cheated by, he would definitely not let go of this bastard!

Zhang Jiashi couldn't have imagined now that in the team of Mo Hong, the great son of the Mo family who had resigned and returned to Liaodong, Uncle Sun Zhong was crying with a sad face, and Mo Hong looked calm......

As for why Uncle Sun Zhong is crying with a sad face?

It's very simple, Uncle Sun Zhong, who was tied in a quilt by a few hemp ropes, almost didn't become a big zongzi...... And the back of his head has an inconspicuous blood bag......

In Shusun Zhong's impression, he only remembered that after Mo Hong approached him, a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of his head, and he lost consciousness......

Mo Hong, who was sitting lightly in the carriage, of course wouldn't say that he knocked his uncle Sun Zhong out coldly with a mallet......

If someone who knows knows about it, where should he put his old face?

Especially some damn eunuch......

Of course, looking at his uncle Sun Zhong, who was constantly struggling, Mo Hong could only say: "If you can be quiet, I will teach Your Excellency two tricks as compensation." ā€

Hearing this, Uncle Sun Zhong struggled to give up directly......

If Zhang Jiashi knew about this, he estimated whether he would have to change to a reliable commander of the personal guards.

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

Maybe the knight troops arranged by Li Zuoche were very effective in cruising and blocking, or maybe the wandering sabotage tactics of Han Xin and Du Cong had good results, just as Li Zuoche calculated, on this day on June 24, 2o9 BC, Wang Jiancheng actually sent people out to make an appointment.

After seeing the envoy's complacent expression and hearing his unashamed words, Zhang Jiashi was angry and planned to drive out like this after agreeing to the other party's appointment to fight.

Of course, Li Zuoche will not give up this opportunity that can be used.

After this envoy was about to be pushed away by several guards, Li Zuoche stood up directly, and after clasping his fists to Zhang Jiashi, he said, "Wait, cut off this person's nose, and then drive him away!"

After hearing this, several guards couldn't help but gasp in their hearts, and the chief of several guards turned around and clasped his fists and said, "Huh." ā€

These personal guards are just ordinary soldiers, and they only need to carry out the orders of their superiors, and they don't need any problems or anything.

Yu Jian and several Qin military captains did not react to this matter, and Zi Anxun, who had already served Zhang Jiashi and was now sitting in Li's left car, frowned, and said in a somewhat unbearable tone: "Military Division, is this ...... Something is wrong?"

"Lord Zi, have you forgotten that the rank of our envoy is still hanging on the tower north of Wang Jian City?" Li Zuoche said coldly, and then sat on his low stool.

After hearing Li Zuoche's rhetorical question, Zi Anxun could only shake his head and stop talking.

After all, Li Zuoche's arrangement can be regarded as quite benevolent. If it was really true, this envoy's level would be thrown outside Wang Jian's city......

......

And after such a long time, the weapons and equipment that Zhang Jiashi let people transport over have basically been able to effectively wield their effects, and the battle tomorrow morning will be the best opportunity to review the actual combat ability of these weapons.

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

June 25, 2o9 B.C., this date is also written in the later history books of this world.

But this is not the point, the point is that, just as in the case of the war, the high-level leaders of Jizi Joseon set up a field battle formation outside Wang Jiancheng at the request of the war.

Through the intelligence heard by the scouts, Zhang Jiashi was very surprised that Jizi Korea was able to send 14,000 troops to carry out this field battle.

On their side, after being transferred, there were 15,000 troops, but the Korean army, which had 5,000 troops, would be good if it didn't add to the chaos, and no one, including Zhang Jiashi, expected these people to play a role.

After the actual investigation, the North Korean used 5,000 square soldiers to form a half-moon front in three areas, followed by the light infantry or crossbowmen of the Korean army, and more than 400 chariots waited for the opportunity to attack behind the battle array.

The 14,000-strong force was fronted by the north gate of Wang Jiancheng, and the northwest and northeast areas were flanks.

In the face of this layout, Yuma and Li Zuoche, who had no intention of attacking, quickly arranged a-for-tat formation.

On the front was the main force of 6,000 men led by Yu Jian himself, with 4,000 in front and 2,000 in the rear, while on the left flank was Li Cang's convict army, and on the right flank was Nguyen Ong Thieu's troops. The personnel of the two wings, that is, three thousand people.

The remaining 3,000 people stayed in the camp and moved with their cameras. And the person in command is Su Teng.

To be honest, Zhang Jiashi was not very comfortable with the arrangement of mixing these North Koreans into each unit. And Li Zuoche, who was beside Zhang Jiashi, saw Zhang Jiashi's worry, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "My lord, this arrangement is much more reliable than letting these North Koreans defend the camp." ā€

After Zhang Jiashi heard this, he nodded silently, after all, what Li Zuoche said was very reasonable.

With this kind of layer-by-layer arrangement, it is indeed possible to avoid some problems, especially whether the North Koreans will cause chaos. Moreover, if such an arrangement is unreliable, keep these North Koreans as caretakers...... Isn't it just more nonsense?

In terms of personnel in this attack on the Korean region, it is not that Zhang Jiashi and Chen Ping are slamming the door, but that the troops are really insufficient. With almost all mobile forces mobilized, a large-scale display of the "puppet army" is a good solution to the problem......

Well, there are also a lot of problems with this method, but in this case, Zhang Jiashi is not an immortal, even if he scatters beans into soldiers, it will not help.

It's not the first time that Zhang Jiashi has suffered a loss in such a thing, but ...... Because of various considerations in many aspects, Zhang Jiashi can no longer directly riot without regard to other aspects.

Perhaps, the reorganization of the peasant army and the like can solve the urgent need, but Zhang Jiashi is very suspicious that if he really does this, how much combat strength his troops will have.

In this battle, although it is not enough to say that he is only allowed to win but not lose, but once he loses in this battle, I am afraid that his original plan will be greatly disrupted.

After all, he didn't want to become a prince by dividing a corner of the land, but hoping to save the chaos that would arise in the future.

......

After a period of time, the attacking Qin troops and the Jizi Korean army looked at each other from an area of about a kilometer. And the Xuanniao flags on both sides slowly fluttered in the wind......

In a mountain forest, a strong man with a white head looked at this scene very bored, and said to the man in black next to him: "Who do you think will win?"

"Who will win...... I don't care about that, what I care about is, aren't you going to go to the east and go on a killing spree?" the man in black looked at his old fellow and said angrily.

"Not only does that guy run well, but his men are very good at hiding, of course...... I wouldn't say that I would just electrocute a little thing in a river......" the white man smiled.

The man in black shook his head angrily, and then said, "Started ......"
