The 31st day of the reign of Qin III Yingziying

Today is a good day, the weather in October is relatively refreshing, and even if you exercise for a while, you will not sweat as hot as in summer

Near noon, the Bashui general Lu Wei led nearly 30,000 garrisons stationed nearby to the Lantian camp

After paying homage to Taiwei and General Li Xin, the Qin army was arranged into the Lantian camp

At this time, there were 120,000 horses stationed in the Lantian military camp! Even then, so many people only occupied less than half of the camp space in Lantian Camp

This camp has a history of hundreds of years, and it is also the oldest but irreplaceable most important military camp in the Qin State

At its peak, the Lantian camp accommodated more than 400,000 Qin troops, but now it is not the same as the evening, and the 120,000-horse Bino military camp still seems empty...

After a brief celebration among the generals, in the afternoon, a soldier came to report that a Qin army was coming from Xianyang, pulling a lot of things, and there was no end in sight

Ying Jingyu and General Li Xinzhu were a little puzzled after hearing this, it seems that there are still a lot of Qin soldiers escorting goods

Everyone immediately left the barracks and waited anxiously outside the camp gate for the good things sent by Xianyang.

After waiting for about half a pillar of incense, one person shouted, "Look, they're coming!" ”

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw a small group of people and horses rushing quickly. However, judging by its flexible posture on the horse, it seems to be a little different from ordinary cavalry

In a moment, the team of men and horses arrived in front of everyone, and the man on the horse hurriedly dismounted and knelt down on one knee: "The last general, Li Nian, greets the son!" Meet the Generals! ”

Jing Yu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Li Nian, what about the newly created weapon?" ”

Li Nian stood up and said with a smile: "Childe, don't worry, I brought someone to Lantian in advance." The brigade is still on the way, and it will be at the camp in less than a quarter of an hour! ”

Ying Jingyu exhaled, for fear that something would happen to such an important thing

Jing Yu smiled: "Let's talk about what I brought to Lantian this time." ”

After Li Nian wiped the sweat on his forehead, he arched his hand: "Yes, son!" ”

"Due to the urgency of the matter, I stayed in the 'Qin Blade Martial Workshop' for a long time after I went back and personally supervised the manufacture of weapons. After learning about the situation, Ruwu also transferred most of the people who originally made the giant thrower to the 'Gunpowder Division' and the Horse Kick Division. ”

"Day and night, 700 pairs of horses and more than 3,500 thunderbolts have been dispatched. The king and General Zhang Chang also ordered the recruitment of new soldiers inside and outside Xianyang City, and the effect was excellent! The wealthy merchants and nobles of Xianyang asked their children to join the Qin camp, and the common people also sent their young children to the Qin camp after seeing it. ”

Jing Yu was surprised: "Oh? How many garrisons are there in Xianyang City now? ”

Li Nian continued: "Excluding the palace guards of Xianyang Palace, there are more than 6,000 people in the sea. ”

"How is it so little? Did you recruit 2,000 people? ”

"Childe, the king and General Zhang ordered me to lead more than 15,000 people from the new army that I just joined to come to reinforcements, and Xianyang is still recruiting new troops, so the king asked Gongzi not to worry."

After hearing this, Ying Jingyu and General Li Xinzhu glanced at each other, both of them were a little incredible, and they didn't expect that the potential of Xianyang City was still quite large

After all, at its peak, it accommodated more than a million people, and even if it is almost now, it is not much different

Xianyang is inhabited by merchants and nobles or ordinary people with good living conditions, and no one is willing to send their children to die on the battlefield

I didn't expect the recruitment effect to be so good.

It seems that after Ying Jingyu had a meeting with the wealthy businessmen in the Prime Minister's Mansion last time, he had firmly tied the businessmen and nobles to the chariot of the imperial court

If they don't win, I'm afraid they will also know that there is no good life

Ying Jingyu asked Li Xin: "General Li, what does the general think about sending a new army at this time?" ”

Li Xin smiled and said, "Childe is worried that the new army will not have combat power and become a drag?" ”

Jing Yu frowned slightly and nodded that it was such a thing, and now it was too late to train the new army, and no experience would inevitably cause trouble on the battlefield

Li Xin said: "Don't worry, son, believe in your own arrangements." In this way, we can transfer the Qin army to 140,000 horses. ”

Jing Yu wondered, "Oh? What is the general's clever plan to make the more than 10,000 new troops work? ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "It's very simple, divide it into hundreds of people and disperse them to various thousand battalions. Then reprimand the recruits and let them know that their names are on the record! If he dares to slack off and flee, or surrender to the enemy, then the court will check his family according to his name and raze his three clans! ”

"I wonder what Childe thinks? Hey. ”

Jing Yu sighed in his heart after hearing this, and sure enough, this Li Xin kept making ruthless moves, and as soon as he made a move, he hit the key point, which made people chill

Haha smiled and said: "It is worthy of General Li, Yu is taught again!" This is a very good practice, and I am not afraid that the new army will disturb the hearts of our army. ”

...

As everyone spoke, a long convoy appeared in sight, followed by a new army of black-armored spears as far as the eye could see

Before and after the new army arrived at the gate of the Lantian camp, all the troops knelt on their knees, bowed their hands to the ground and respectfully shouted: "Meet the captain!" Meet the General! ”

Ying Jingyu couldn't wait to lead many generals to the carriage, cut the rope lock with a short dagger, and directly opened a few boxes

When everyone saw the blue-gold halo of horseshoe and the smooth and round thunderbolt, their faces were ecstatic!

Jing Yu was overjoyed and said: "General Li, these thunderbolts are enough to deal with Liu Bangjun's cavalry and infantry armies!" And the cavalry equipped with 700 horses will belong to me. ”

Li Xin looked at Ying Jingyu, who was happily like a child, and also said happily: "Yi Gongzi." However, on the battlefield, don't blindly rush to kill, 700 cavalry is still too few. ”

Ying Jingyu nodded and said: "Immediately arrange for elite knights to come to receive horse pedal training, equip 3,000 thunderbolts with cavalry, and equip the infantry with another 500 bullets, so that those who have "thunderbolts" can master the skills of igniting and throwing, and you can test a few to see the effect." ”

"Don't delay, quick!"

"Yes, Childe!"

......

The 32nd day of the reign of Qin III Yingziying

The Lantian camp has been very lively in the past two days, and the training has become more and more intensive. The formations were arranged, the cavalry rumbled, and from time to time the sound of explosions could be heard

However, the defenders of Yaoguan not far from Lantian were very uncomfortable, and after Liu Bang's non-stop onslaught for more than two days, the number of defenders of Yaoguan had dropped to more than 28,000 people

The form is extremely unfavorable, and Liu Bangjun may break through the defense line of the pass at any time and break into the pass

But the guards Hu Qing and He Yutai did not dare to be careless, they slept for less than three hours a day, and watched Qin soldiers fall one by one, and the pressure they faced was huge

If it weren't for the belief in his heart, I'm afraid that ordinary generals would collapse if they slackened a little in the face of this situation...

At the entrance of a hidden city wall, there were two people standing at this time, these two people were quite heroic, and they were also very young, in their early 30s

But the great body could not hide the vicissitudes and exhaustion on his face

These two are Hu Qing and He Yutai

I saw He Yutai come behind Hu Qing and said: "General Hu, half of the Qin army guarding the pass has been lost, and Liu Bang can break through the pass at any time, what did General Li Xin say?" ”

Hu Qing turned to look at He Yutai, whose face was not very good, and said, "Yutai, I have already sent a letter to General Li last night, and I will not get the letter until noon at the earliest." I have already told General Li in detail about the situation at the pass. ”

After hearing this, He Yutai smashed his fist and said: "Hey, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that Liu Bang will break through the defense line within three days, and I can't wait for the troops to prevent it." ”

Hu Qing smiled dumbly: "Yutai, why are you in a hurry? Liu Bang is much more anxious than we are now. His losses in attacking the pass are not small, and if he drags on for one more day, it will add a danger to Liu Bang. If the expectation is not bad, Liu Bang will have a big move in the next two days, we have to beware..."

"Report! ...”

I saw a Qin soldier running quickly and kneeling on one knee
