The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1211: Child Holding a Knife [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket]

"Golden Fire Cavalry versus Hundred Battle Armored Soldiers, you tell me this is a war between two great princes?"

Li Ren rolled his eyes.

It goes without saying that it was the people under my command who were secretly supporting me.

Otherwise, with the resources Meng Xin had at hand, how could he possibly raise the expensive golden fire cavalry? How could the Wang family, who had just left, afford the food and clothing of a group of battle-hardened armored soldiers?

It would be more accurate to say that it was a contest between two empires at Peacock rather than a friction between two great princes.

The generals and officers did not answer. No one, whether involved or not, dared to take the blame.

After all, Xiao Yun'e is still in Qin. If the truth is revealed, they will be blamed for murdering the eldest princess.

This is just like when Li Jing attacked the Turks, he did not notify Tang Jian who was on a diplomatic mission to the Turks at the time. Li Jing didn't even think that Tang Jian could come back alive and survive miraculously.

This also led to Tang Jian's passiveness and sabotage in the second half of his life. He did three things every day: eating, sleeping and scolding Li Jing.

The passive resistance was due to some resentment towards the King of Tang. He sent Li Jing to fight the Turks, but also sent him on a diplomatic mission. It was obvious that he wanted him to die. How could he still work for the Li Tang Dynasty?

Scolding Li Jing is a lie. Li Jing is able to command a large army remotely and arrange the battle lines several months in advance. How could there be no time to notify him in advance?
This clearly means that they are using him as a reassurance to the Turks and as a discarded pawn.

Therefore, he was passive and lazy and scolded Li Jing. The Li Tang Dynasty and Li Jing could only endure it. After all, what they did was indeed not right, and it was normal to be scolded.

Tang Jian was restrained as he did not bring a knife to challenge the Xuanwu Sect.

Now that Xiao Yun'e is still in Qin, they are secretly supporting the vassal states in their wars, which is also putting the princess in danger. If they are really discovered, the Jinyiwei and the Military Control Commission will kill them.

Bingzhou had no descendants to begin with, and yet they still did this. They didn't even need to frame them with any charges. They could just get away with the charge of murdering the eldest princess and having secret dealings with an enemy country.

"The battle-hardened armored soldiers are really fierce. They can actually fight back and forth with the golden fire cavalry." A general changed the subject.

"Fuck you, don't think I don't know what a real battle-hardened armored soldier is like. I absorbed the beyond-visual-range attack capability of Peacock's elephant-armored soldier, but I didn't unlock the beyond-visual-range attack capability?"

"The same goes for the Golden Fire Cavalry. They absorbed the Elephant Armored Soldiers' beyond-visual-range strike capability, but in the end, they didn't unlock their strike capability?"

Li Ren rolled his eyes. The elephant armored soldiers were one of the few types of soldiers that Chinese military strategists looked up to. Although they had the disadvantage of being afraid of fire, their ultra-long-range strike capability still caused the five dukes appointed by Qin and Bing to suffer a lot in the beginning. Even Peacock was unable to bring out the capabilities of the elephant armored soldiers until his death. He was completely deceived into the royal city and was killed by the five dukes appointed by Qin and Bing.

Afterwards, both sides obtained some of the abilities of the elephant soldiers.

This war between the two great dukes perfectly illustrates the horror of the elephant-armored soldiers.

But the result is also very funny. When the Battle-hardened Armored Soldiers can attack the Golden Fire Cavalry, they cannot see the Golden Fire Cavalry; when the Golden Fire Cavalry can see the Battle-hardened Armored Soldiers, they cannot attack the Battle-hardened Armored Soldiers.

It is hard to imagine how powerful the elephant armored soldiers, originally a combination, are.

"Also, your hoarding of goods from the vassal states is a bit serious!" Li Ren continued, looking at the crowd.

There are many problems in this war.

Although the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Hundred Battles Armored Soldiers became famous because of this, it also exposed the problem that Qin and Bing had more than one trick up their sleeves for these five nobles. The Hundred Battles Armored Soldiers' mother-and-child split arrowhead appeared in Peacock, but it only split, and the secondary acceleration at the end did not appear. There was even a situation where the arrow appeared in front of the Golden Fire Cavalry, but its speed was not as fast as the Golden Fire Cavalry, and the Golden Fire Cavalry could catch it with its bare hands.

The same thing happened with the Golden Fire Cavalry. They could have used it to accelerate and charge at the enemy again when they were close to them, but they actually let the Hundred Battle Armored Soldiers run away from them! Yes, they ran away! How embarrassing it would be if a cavalryman couldn't catch up with an infantryman!
"Your Majesty, we admit everything else you said. We did have a hidden trick, but we don't admit what you said!" A general retorted decisively.

Although they had hidden a trick, they didn't want the brothers who went out to die in frustration, so they still taught them what they should teach.

For example, for the charge of the Golden Fire Cavalry, they were taught the three-drum combat method, and did not say to charge at full speed at the beginning. They were also taught the secret breathing method of how to maintain the physical fitness of soldiers and horses on the battlefield. The only secret is that this breathing method is a castrated version, and the endurance is not that long, but all the necessary tactical capabilities are there.

After listening to the general's explanation, Li Ren looked at the lieutenant generals in a daze.

"Also, there are big problems in this battle. The Golden Fire Cavalry could have deployed the Shooting Sound Battalion in the rear, using the Golden Fire Cavalry's visual range to provide vision for the Shooting Sound Battalion and then strike the enemy first, but they didn't deploy the Shooting Sound Battalion to support the battle."

"The same goes for the Hundred Battle Armored Soldiers. They can also launch Suzaku to provide vision for the Hundred Battle Armored Soldiers, but they didn't activate Suzaku either."

The admirals talked about the shortcomings of this war one after another.

To put it simply, these two types of soldiers are not bad. Although they are not as good as the authentic versions of Qin and Bing, they are only slightly worse and will not fight so ugly. It's just like a toddler holding a knife. It will cause harm if he doesn't know how to use it.

"Forget it. Is there any possibility for Meng Xin and Wang Mu to negotiate peace?" Li Ren asked.

If the two sides fight to the death, this will indirectly prove that Bingzhou and Qin are secretly competing to the death rather than testing each other.

"It's not a deep hatred, and we are using local barbarians instead of real tribesmen who left. There is nothing that cannot be negotiated." The lieutenant general shook his head.

Even Meng Xin and Wang Mu did not personally take part in the battle, but just let their subordinates play freely.

If the fight really ends to the death, the ones who will join the battle will be the Huaxia people who followed them out of Huaxia and the two marquises, Meng Xin and Wang Fang.

"Then let Wei Liaozi go to negotiate peace. As for the battle report... don't send it to His Majesty. We can't afford to lose this person!" Li Ren hesitated.

Although the equipment of the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Hundred Battles Armored Soldiers sold out because of this battle, people who really knew the inside story couldn't bear to watch.

When it was handed over to Yan Yan, Yan Yan began to wonder if they had been in Anping for too long and had forgotten how to fight.

"Yes!" The admirals nodded.

The war has gotten to this point, and you still dare to hand it over? Being scolded is the least of your worries.

It would be okay to fool an emperor who knew nothing about military affairs, but Yan Yan and Ying Zheng, both of them were bloody emperors who had just walked out of the war. If they handed in this kind of battle report, their garrison troops would be inspected during the next patrol.

"Also, tell Meng Xin that I want to build a city." Li Ren continued.

Bingzhou now has one person doing the work of two people, but the locals are reluctant to use them this way, so the only option is to introduce foreigners. It just so happens that the black Kunlun slaves that Meng Xin sent last time are very useful, except that they are a little lazy, but their endurance is impeccable.

Therefore, laziness is not a problem. People will behave themselves if a spear or sword is placed on their neck.
