Eight Magical Techniques of Yin and Yang of the Bright Moon in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 247: The Macedonian Phalanx Ye Shang invites tassels!

Time flies like an arrow, and before you know it, another two months have passed. It has been three years since the establishment of the Great Qin Empire, and everything has been on the right track.

In order to celebrate the stable development and prosperity of the empire, and at the same time consolidate the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, Yingzheng decided to gather the civil servants and military generals together to exchange feelings.

Although Ye Yan was not in the court, he still had the title of a national teacher no matter what, and he did not refuse the invitation and participated in this banquet.

A few days later, Xianyang Palace became lively again. Amidst the exchange of cups and all kinds of rainbow fart-like mutual flattery, the atmosphere gradually became lighter.

But at this moment, a waiter hurried over, presented a battle report, and said very seriously: "Your Majesty, this is the military report sent by General Meng!"

"Could it be that Meng Aiqing won another battle?"

Ying Zheng said with a chuckle, then took the battle report, opened it and scanned it.But after reading the above content, the smiling face suddenly became serious.

Because this is not the good news as imagined, but a memorial to plead guilty and admit mistakes.

It turned out that after defeating the main force of the Huns, Meng Tian led his cavalry to pursue them in order to complete his service, and went deep into the enemy camp for hundreds of miles.

After some hard work, the Xiongnu Shanyu Touman was finally forced into a canyon.

But when Meng Tian was about to kill them, a strange army suddenly appeared. The soldiers with blond hair and blue eyes did not seem to be from the Central Plains. Everyone was wearing light armor and holding round shields and spears.

This army is arranged in a square formation, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and its movements are also very neat, just like a war machine.

There are not many of them, but all of them are elites. They advance and retreat in an orderly manner with that special weapon, and their combat effectiveness is very powerful.Meng Tian's cavalry had a battle with him, but the result ended in failure...

Seeing the change in Ying Zheng's expression, Li Si asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng gave a general account of the battle report sent by Meng Tian, ​​and when they heard that Meng Tian suffered a loss at the hands of foreign troops, everyone couldn't help being a little surprised.

Wang Li's face changed, and he stood up from the table and said: "The final general is willing to lead his troops to go, and the barbarians will be wiped out!"

Seeing this, Ying Zheng waved his hands and said, "The armor-piercing soldiers of the Hundred Battles must guard the Central Plains to prevent the remnants of the Six Kingdoms from secretly causing trouble. Besides, a few foreign races are nothing, and the team is more interested in the way this army fights."

After the words fell, the descendants looked at each other in blank dismay. They had never seen such a weird army, and if they had to say something, it seemed somewhat similar to the Wei Wuzu back then.

However, the difference is that the Wei soldiers are all heavily armored soldiers, while according to Meng Tian's description, the opponents are mostly light armored, and they move faster.

At this moment, Ye Yan, who was sitting on the side, had a glint in his eyes, and said softly, "If I'm right, this army should come from the West."

"West, is the national teacher talking about the Qiang clan or the Yue clan?"

Wang Li asked a question.

Ye Yan shook his head: "We have to go further west."

"Further to the west is a barren land, where can there be a powerful army?"
Wang Li frowned slightly and said, obviously he didn't quite agree with this statement. "

Ye Yan said indifferently: "This world is very big, Qin and even the Huns and other tribes around it are only a small part, there are still many forces on the other side of the desert and the sea.

There is even a powerful country no less than Great Qin. The army that General Meng encountered should have come from another civilization. "

Hearing this explanation, Ying Zheng was also a little interested, and asked: "The national teacher is also from the Central Plains, why would he know such anecdotes?"

"It's just hearsay, His Majesty just listen to it."

Ye Yuan smiled but didn't explain much.

At this time, Li Si said, "No matter where those alien races come from, what we need to do now is to come up with a strategy to deal with this army."

Hearing this, many generals present explained that they were slightly silent. According to normal thinking, it seems that the best way for an enemy of unknown origin like the opponent is to dispatch absolute troops to crush it.

But His Majesty the Emperor obviously didn't mean that, but wanted to adopt a more effective strategy to restrain it.

Just as everyone was thinking about it, Ye Yan was also thinking about it. According to his judgment, the foreign soldiers Meng Tian met had a high probability of using the Macedonian phalanx.

The Macedonian phalanx does have a strong combat capability, but its shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, it pays great attention to the integrity of the formation and cannot be scattered at will, otherwise it will be self-defeating.

In this case, even if they encountered arrow arrays, they could only stand up against their shields or retreat, unable to disperse or dodge.

In this way, in front of waves of arrow rain, it will be reduced to a living target, as long as the general direction is not far away, it can cause a devastating blow to it.

One can imagine what it will be like when countless crossbow arrows fall down.

As long as the formation can be broken up, cavalry can then be dispatched to carry out flank raids from the gap in the battle formation, and as long as the operation is done properly, it can be completely defeated!

In his opinion, Meng Tian's defeat was largely due to the fact that he had never encountered such an army before, and the cavalry was inconvenient to carry heavy weapons, so they were a little caught off guard.

If you give him another chance, as long as you prepare well, Qin Jun's chances of winning should not be low.

However, Ye Yuan did not reveal these situations. These Macedonian soldiers are good whetstones. Maybe he can take this opportunity to see how the army he has carefully cultivated is like.

Thinking of this, Ye Yan said, "I still have some soldiers over there, why don't we let them go to the north."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little bit surprised. He didn't expect that he would take the initiative to invite Ying with such a laid-back temperament.

But since he took the initiative to speak, of course he would not refuse, then nodded and said: "If that's the case, then there is trouble."

"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare first, and try to let the soldiers reach the border within ten days."

Ye Yuan said something, then got up to leave.

Because of the sudden appearance of the Macedonian army, the original banquet ended in a hurry. After returning to the palace, Ying Zheng called Zhang Han, the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard, over.

"Notify Meng Tian, ​​let him pay close attention to the army sent by Ye Yan, and record its characteristics, equipment and battle process in detail as much as possible."

Ying Zheng ordered with a serious face, he was also very curious about the power in Ye Yuan's hands, he didn't know how strong or weak it was compared to his own Qin Ruishi...
