readx;???? There was no large-scale battle between Tian Heng and To Chung, and the two sides were basically more skirmishes between each other and battles between scout troops. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And Du Cong didn't think about finding the corresponding opportunity to give Tian Heng a hard blow before this day, but Tian Heng's ability to command the forces to fight is much better than Tian Rong, and Du Cong has never had such an opportunity.

And Chung To did not give Tian Rong a heavy blow in several small-scale tentative strikes, on the contrary, he also paid some price.

......

As a newly promoted general in the Liaodong Army under Zhang Jiashi. Chung To doesn't have much of a problem with his abilities.

Compared with Yu Jian, Su Jiao, and Ruan Weng Shao, Han Xin, Huan Suo and others, who are also the core personnel of the Liaodong Army, Du Cong's experience in commanding large-scale troops in battle is indeed quite lacking.

Originally, according to the considerations of Chen Ping, Li Zuoche, Sun Po and others, Du Cong should not have been promoted from the position of captain of the Marine Corps so quickly to the position of a general who could already be regarded as a high-ranking officer in the Great Qin Empire.

This is not that Chen Ping does not believe in and ignores Chung To's own ability and experience, but compared with the talent and military experience of Han Xin and others, Chung Du is indeed deficient in many aspects.

After all, Yu Jian and Su Jiao were middle and senior officers in the original Northern Xinjiang Army, and in terms of actual combat experience, they could be regarded as one of the few people in the Liaodong Army system under Zhang Jiashi who could convince Chen Ping and others.

It is true that the talents of Yujian and Su Jiao in this regard are far from Han Xin, and even inferior to Huan Suo. However, Su Jiao and Yujian, who have rich experience in actual combat, after Zhang Jiashi nominated six generals in the Liaodong military system, Chen Ping and others thought that it was okay.

And Huan Su, Ruan Weng Shao, Han Xin and Su Teng, although they are far from Yu Jian and Su Jiao in terms of actual combat experience, and even Han Xin himself is not an officer in the internal system of the Great Qin Empire, but the growth rate of these four people's command and combat is very fast, and in the previous officer appointments, the command and combat ability of these people also shows that they are quite competent for this appointment.

After Zhang Jiashi launched this Third Eastern Crusade, until Du Cong was appointed as a new general by Zhang Jiashi, the general-level figures under Zhang Jiashi were:

Shang County Guard, Marine Corps General Du Cong, Liaoning County Guard Sujiao, Yan County Guard Huan Su, Zhao County Guard Wang Chang, Jinbei County Guard Wang Li, Yunzhong County Guard Yang Wengzi, Longxi County Guard Gao Jian, Prisoner Army Commander Ying Bu, Lang Zhongling concurrently served as Shuangyueyi Defense Commander Yu Yong, Central Plains County Guard Su Teng, and the three major generals of the Central Army: former army commander Ruan Weng Shao, corps deputy general Han Xin, and Wei Wei Huanfeng.

These fifteen people, along with Zhang Jiashi, Li Xin, the late Meng Wu, and the national lieutenant Tu Sui, were later made twenty high-ranking officers of the Qin army in the Second Great Qin Unification War.

Of course, there are more than a few people in the current Qin army, but among most of the county guards or officers who command the army under Zhang Jiashi, many of them are only the rank of captain.

Among them, Zang Di, who is also one of the adjutants of the Central Army, Fan Xu, and Lu Shizhi are one of them.

Originally, Zhang Jiashi also planned to promote Zang Di, Fan Xu, Lu Shizhi, and even Yu Ziqi and others to the position of general, but due to the influence of some factors, Zhang Jiashi finally had to give up this idea.

Before Zhang Jiashi officially returned to the government, Zhang Jiashi promoted the other five to generals.

Among them, these five people were Qin Min, who was promoted to general in 201 BC, but was immediately imprisoned at the Great Dynasty Conference and then committed suicide.

In 194 BC, he was promoted to general by Zhang Jiashi because of his promotion to general in the Xiongnu Wars over the years, and Li Lie, the son of Li Xin, had quite good achievements.

In 194 BC, he was promoted at the same time as Li Lie, because Wang Li's son Wang Yuan, who had performed well in the war against the Qiang.

In 191 BC, as the vanguard of the Second Western Expedition, he inflicted several heavy losses on the then Sethiocid army, and forced the then king of the Seleucid kingdom, Antiochus III, to abandon his plan to take the initiative to attack the Qin army that had occupied the area of the Anxi Empire, and Meng Xing, as his name suggests, successfully revived the Montessori family.

In 185 BC, in the third western expedition, he defeated the troops of the invading Roman Republic consul Publius Cornelius Scipio, and was appointed by Zhang Jiashi as the first foreign officer of the Great Qin Empire.

And after Zhang Jiashi led the army back to the Great Qin Empire, he assisted as Zhang Jiashi's lover, the Egyptian king Cleopatra (the daughter of Antiochus IV, the original queen of the Egyptian king Ptolemy V, not the one Cleopatra who was born in 69 BC. Defending Egypt and fighting against the Seleucid Elsa, who had risen to the Roman Republic, the Seleucid Elsa, had suffered a crushing defeat before his death in 168 BC.

Zhang Jiashi's evaluation of this Westerner general under his command is very high, even comparable to Han Xin's height:

"If this person is reused by Antiochus III, I am afraid that it will not be difficult for Gu to destroy the Seleucid Kingdom. ”

What Zhang Jiashi didn't expect was that there was really that kind of person in this world who was born for war, and even Han Xin himself had to deny one thing, that is, Elsa, who had a relationship with him during the Third Western Expedition, would become one of the pillars of the Great Qin Empire's rule in Egypt and the Near East at that time, consolidating the rule of Egypt and the Great Qin Empire.

......

In 137 B.C., more than ten years after Zhang Jiashi's death, as another pillar of the western region of the Great Qin Empire, after the death of Li Lie, the governor of the Syrian region of the Great Qin Empire, the then king of Egypt, that is, the son of Zhang Jiashi and Cleopatra, known in history as Phyllis I, was defeated and committed suicide in Cairo.

His son, Phyllis Alexander Chang, had to seek refuge in Jerusalem by fighting his way out of the city of Cairo, which was besieged by the Roman coalition, under the protection of Phyllis I's cronies.

This led to the Second War between the Great Qin Empire and the Roman Republic.

In this war, the Great Qin Empire lost three generals successively, and in the defensive battles between Palestine and Syria, it lost the last elite left by the Great Qin Empire's Western Expeditionary Corps.

If it weren't for the fact that Ying Qili had sent a large number of elite troops from the Great Qin Empire to launch the Fourth Western Expedition to repel the Romans who had invaded Syria and recover the areas of Palestine and Egypt that had fallen to the Romans.

As for his cousin, Ying Qi finally pushed him to the position of king of Egypt again.

This was also another line of Zhang Jiashi, who became a ruler in Egypt at a turning point.

......

This branch of Zhang Jiashi's bloodline continued for seven generations again, and in 15 AD, Yingxiu, the new monarch of the Great Qin Empire, was destroyed again by the Roman Empire before ascending the throne.

This incident also caused the third and largest war of the Great Qin Empire against Rome.

Yingxiu knew very well that for the Egyptian king of his distant relative, who died in battle, his descendants were either missing or missing, and this hatred was naturally not so simple to be clear to the Romans.

In 24 AD, Yingxiu launched the largest offensive against the Romans after winning the Fourth Western Expedition of the Great Qin Empire.

At this time, the Great Qin Empire, both in terms of scientific and technological ability and national strength, was no longer comparable to the Zhang Jiashi period and the Yingqi period.

After all, after such a long period of development, the scientific and technological level of the Great Qin Empire, the quality of the population, and the foundation of national strength have been greatly improved.

The most important point is that after the death of Ying Qi, the Great Qin Empire originally developed hot weapon technology, and it was not until Yingxiu succeeded to the throne that it was developed again.

So, after several years of preparation, Yingxiu used a large number of hot weapons to give the elite main force of the Roman Empire, a lesson that can never be forgotten.

And unlike the previous encounters, Yingxiu's westward expedition finally completed a feat that Zhang Jiashi and Ying Qi could not complete, that is, in 31 AD, after an intermittent and nearly eight years of war, the Qin army invaded Rome, and bloodied the Julia Claudius family, who killed the Egyptian king at that time, and captured the Roman emperor Tiberius at that time, and split the periphery of the Afang Palace.

And Yingxiu finally because of this merit, after his death, compared with his son, Yingzhuang, who succeeded Emperor Qin Ming, after consulting with the ministers, determined his nickname as Guangwu. That is to say, Yingxiu's temple number and nickname are collectively known as Emperor Gaozong Guangwu.

This temple name and nickname were considered by later generations to be able to compete with Yingzheng and Zhang Jiashi, and were called the three martial emperors of the empire: Qin Wu Emperor Yingzheng, Qin Taizu Dingwu Emperor Zhang Jiashi, Qin Gaozong Guangwu Emperor Yingxiu.

Of course, there are still some monarchs in later generations who want to have a martial character nickname, but it is very helpless that none of them can have even Yingxiu merits, so in the end, these monarchs of the Great Qin Empire who hope to have a martial character nickname are not rated as evil in the end.

The rest of the matter is more of a later story.

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

Before this decisive battle, Tian Rong was still in a relative advantage in terms of strength compared with Du Cong.

But for Du Cong, or Tian Rong himself knows very well, that is, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is even worse than the Eastern Qi army that Tian Rong brought to this place at the beginning.

There is no other reason, because these officers and soldiers are more of Tian Rong's forcibly recruited personnel in this vicinity.

These personnel themselves have basically never fought in combat, and even many of them are not physically fit to withstand high-intensity combat.

This means that Tian Rong's current troops, compared with the previous troops, can exert two-thirds of the combat effectiveness is already good.

And this two-thirds is actually still a benchmark for moisture.

After all, in addition to its own combat effectiveness, this force is very unfamiliar with each other's coordination and cooperation, and its equipment has become relatively inferior.

This is also one of the results of Zhang Jiashi's main adoption of the main force of the hostile forces in this operation.

It can be said that Tian Heng did not want to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army. However, he had reached the point where he had to fight a decisive battle.

Because if it is delayed any longer, the gap between the two sides will only be greater, and there will be no need to fight it when the time comes.

......

Under such a premise, this will happen more like a decisive battle in which Tian Rong took the initiative to send him to death.

The military ratio between the two sides was about 80,000 to 40,000. Of course, the troops under Du Cong's command were on the side of 40,000 people, and Tian Rong was the commander of the army of 80,000 people.

This is not to say that Du Cong does not want his troops to have more troops, but for the situation that many of the troops in Liaoning County and Shang County have been transferred, these troops under Du Cong's command have already concentrated a considerable number of troops from the two counties.

Zhang Jiashi did not think about mobilizing Huan Suo's Yanjun troops to reinforce Du Cong, but under the influence of thinking about the current capacity of the Liaodonglou boat troops and the corresponding rectification situation, transferring more troops again will only make the logistics situation worse.

After all, in terms of maintaining Du Cong and Jimo City to withstand the offensive of the Chu army, the capacity of the Liaodong County Lou Boat Soldier Force has reached its limit.

Therefore, in this environment, the number of Chung To seems to be relatively small, but in terms of overall combat effectiveness, it may be stronger than the increase of the troops under Chung To's command to 60,000.

Zhang Jiashi is very reasonable because of a sentence, that is, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and this sentence is about the logistics situation, which will affect the key to the victory or defeat of the war in many cases.

After all, you can't expect that in Zhao Kuo's kind of environment, you can still let a group of half-starved Zhao troops really defeat the Zhao army besieging them.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi also disagrees with the combat method of pulling a cushion to die. After all, this is one of the best ways to be helpless.

......

The battlefield between the two sides is the open space between the walls of the two sides.

The area of this clearing is large, and the shortest distance is almost ten kilometers, and the longest distance is almost fifteen kilometers.

At this distance, if you want to surprise the opponent, you can still use a large number of knights or chariot troops.

However, Du Chung tried to do this, but several groups of raiding troops with a number of about five hundred main level had to retreat after paying a certain price.

This situation illustrates one point, that is, Chung To's idea of wanting to fish in troubled waters is obviously unreliable.

And in this decisive battle, the Qi army did not directly launch a fierce attack on the Qin army's fortress area, but listed the formation, wanting to have a dignified military battle with the Qin army.

If Zhang Jiashi knew Tian Rong's thoughts, he might be very sympathetic to the other party:

Because what Tian Rong is thinking about is, since there is too much gap between me and you in terms of quality, then can't I give full play to my numerical advantage?
