At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 197, Suppression of Qin Military Industry and Useless Tactics

On September 10, Meng Tian led an army of 160,000 troops and quickly approached the coalition camp.

"Dong dong dong!" The low sound of war drums resounded throughout the world. The 160,000 Qin army lined up in a neat square formation, with the sound of neat steps. The 160,000 Qin army soldiers shouted to kill, soaring into the sky with murderous intent. The Qin army soldiers The smoke and dust produced covered the sky and the sun, and the army rushed towards the coalition forces even more aggressively.

Meng Tian was walked at the front of the army by his personal cavalry, with the flag flying in the wind behind him. The 160,000 troops were full of momentum under the guidance of his flag.

Meng Tian looked at the coalition camp in front of him with a determined expression. For the sake of Da Qin's country, he must severely damage this army.

Meng Tian looked in the direction of Xianyang, Your Majesty, this is the last thing I can do for you. I hope you can regain peace in the world.

Han army camp. Xu Fan, Wei Wangjiu, Zhao Wangxie, Ji Xin, Chen Lin, Ge Ying, Wu Sheng, Deng Zong, Chen Gang, Zhou Shi, Liu Bang and other senior leaders of the coalition army looked at the enemy battle in the distance with serious expressions. The formation, with such a fierce murderous aura, did not look like an army that had been hit hard repeatedly. The coalition generals and soldiers were shocked by the Qin army's powerful momentum.

Xu Fan said with a smile: "Meng Tian is not bad at leading troops. The Northern Xinjiang Army has lost tens of thousands of people, but he can still maintain his morale and the military formation can be so rigorous. It's a pity that the general trend of the world is vast, and those who follow it will prosper. , Those who go against it will perish, Qin’s defeat is doomed, Meng Tian is the mantis who goes against the general trend, no matter how powerful he is, he will be crushed by the general trend.”

"Dong dong dong!" The sound of the Qin army's war drums came over. The fierce sound of the war drums made the entire coalition feel the Qin army's determination to die.

Xu Fan said: "Since our Han army rebelled against Qin, we have never lost to the Qin army. Beat the drums and suppress their momentum!"

"Kill!" Tens of thousands of Qin army vanguards have already rushed towards the Han army camp.

Thinking of this, Zhang Er had never felt so regretful.

Meng Tian's face was extremely ugly. The Han army did not go out to fight, which made it clear that the northern Xinjiang army would be cut off from food and grass, or he would be hit in front of the Han army's strong barracks and his head would be broken and bloody.

When Meng Tian heard Ge Ying calling the First Emperor's name directly, and even calling himself a lackey, he was furious and said: "How dare you lead the troops into battle? I will let you experience the sharpness of our Qin army, and your blood will be splashed on the battlefield."

Hearing this, Meng Tian strengthened his determination, pulled out the long sword in his hand, pointed at the Han army camp and shouted: "Soldiers, the rebels in front are your military merits. Defeat the rebels and the whole army will be promoted to two levels. Kill one of them." The rebel captain will be promoted to the rank of doctor; the person who kills a rebel captain will be promoted to the rank of public servant; the person who kills the rebel lieutenant general will be promoted to the fifth rank; the person who can kill the rebel Xu Fan, the fake Han king, will be promoted to the rank of Chehou and be granted the title of Wanwan. household."

"Kill, kill, kill!" Such a high reward greatly shocked the morale of the Qin soldiers.

Everyone must remember that as long as you have an advantage, you must use your own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. Now our coalition's strength is that it has sufficient food and grass, while Mengtian's army is short of food and grass, so we have to use food and grass. Meng Tianjun was trapped to death. "

Then he looked at Ge Ying and said, "I can't say what the name of the rebels is."

Meng Tian said disdainfully: "How can a defeated general dare to speak bravely?"

Xu Fan looked at Ge Ying and said: "Now Meng Tian is determined to fight to the death. Although our Han army is not afraid of them, we do not need to cause too many casualties. You must know that even if we annihilate the Northern Xinjiang army, there is still Guanzhong waiting for us to fight. Now We are the yellow bell, and Mengtian is the tile. The yellow bell will not touch the tile.

Xu Fan looked at the crowd and smiled and said: "Meng Tian has about 18 troops in his hands. Look at the current Qin army's formation. How many Qin troops are opposite us?"

Ge Ying said angrily: "You are nothing more than Ying Zheng's lackey, and you will be beaten to death by us soon. Why are you so arrogant?"

Finally, Hou Mengtian was so angry that he poured into his Dantian and shouted: "Soldiers, if you want the princes to live forever, give the heads of the rebels in exchange!"

Xu Fan said calmly: "The Qin army is going to attack our camp. Each general will command the army from its headquarters to resist the Qin army. Remember not to be provoked by the Qin army and go into battle. Instead, rely on the barracks to kill a large number of the Qin army's effective forces. "

I think that when he joined Xu Fan, Ge Ying was just an ordinary officer in the Qin army. Even if he entered the council chamber, he could only sit at the end. But now he is a world-famous general. The generals of the Han Dynasty are comparable to him. This Prime Minister of Zhao State is so powerful that even he has to look up to him.

Meng Tian waved his hand slowly, and the war drums of the Qin army stopped. The marching army slowly stopped one by one. The battle formations of 160,000 people stretched for several miles, with mountains of people, flags flying, and no boundaries visible.

Su Jiao stepped forward and said: "General, I had not expected the actions of the Han army. No matter how strong their barracks are compared to the city, it is just a fight to the death."

Wei Jiu mocked: "The people of Qin have always been dishonest, righteous and rude people. Only a country of tigers and wolves can do such rude things."

"Please also ask Xu Fan to come out and answer."

"Order all ministries to prepare for the battle." After saying this, Xu Fan took care of it. The battle on the front line was left to the captains and captains. Xu Fan didn't want to be a micro-manager.

Is Ge Ying's ability stronger than him? no! But Xu Fan, the king of Han, was far more capable than him. Ge Ying attached himself to the tail of the real dragon, King of Han. In the end, even Ge Ying's growth and ability surpassed him.

As long as one of them can be killed, their family will be able to achieve a class jump. This will boost the morale of the soldiers of the Qin army. Everyone is ready to move and look at the generals of the coalition forces.

Wei Wangjiu calculated carefully: "There are tens of thousands of Qin soldiers in one square formation. There are sixteen square formations in front of us. The Qin army is coming out in full force."

Ge Ying cupped his hands at Xu Fan and said, "You will eventually understand."

Ge Ying scolded: "Meng Tian, ​​if you dare to go out to fight, Naigong will beat you into a real dead dog!"

None of the nobles of the six countries have a favorable impression of Qin. If the military strength is inferior to others and they are really defeated, then forget it. The key is that Qin will do everything in politics and military, including blackmail and deception. Unbelief, among the countries that have ruled the world for thousands of years, none has a lower bottom line than the Qin Dynasty.

Ge Ying said loudly to Meng Tian: "Meng Tian, ​​you are now a beast in our Han army's net. Naigong is very expensive. If I don't want to fight with you, a dead dog, come and attack our Han army's camp if you have the ability." , If you don’t have the ability, just wait for death. When you are all too hungry to hold the knife, Nai Gong will trample you to death, you dead dog.”

"Dong dong dong!" In the Qin army's battle formation, the sound of drums rose to the sky again. Accompanied by deafening roars, the various square formations of the Qin army began to advance slowly. One of the phalanxes of ten thousand people quickly came out. This was the vanguard of the Qin army. They quickly reached a position 300 steps away from the Han army's camp.

"Dong dong dong!" The Han army's war drums sounded, and their momentum quickly overwhelmed the Qin army. After the Qin army's war drummers discovered this, they increased the frequency. No one on either side was willing to lose. The loud sound of the war drums inspired the soldiers on both sides. , the soldiers couldn't wait to go directly to the battlefield to fight.

Xu Fan said: "Don't fall into the enemy's trap. You have to go to war, which is exactly what Meng Tian hopes to do. The more the enemy wants us to do, the less we can do what the enemy wants."

The Han army had never lost to the Qin army, so how could Ge Ying be afraid of Meng Tian.

Xu Fan also waved his hand to stop the Han army's war drums. The battlefield became quiet for a while, with only a slight breeze blowing.

Even though he valued Xu Fan in his heart, he could not say it on the battlefield. Instead, he had to find ways to belittle Xu Fan and suppress the momentum of the rebels.

If there was only a reward from the Puppet King of Han, they would not be so excited. After all, if you want to kill the Puppet King of Han among the 30 rebels, everyone knows the difficulty, but the difficulty of killing the Du Wei Xiao Lieutenant has been reduced too much. The rebels have There are dozens or hundreds of captains, and these people have to lead troops to fight on the front line. The probability of encountering them is very high, and they are the kind of rewards that are visible and tangible.

"Archers, angle three, fire three rounds." Captain Cao Shen ordered after calculating the speed of the Qin army's charge.

Ji Xin smiled and said: "I'm afraid it won't stop. Meng Tian is afraid that he will bring out all his troops. The Northern Xinjiang Army is now surrounded by our coalition forces. Meng Tian can't leave at this time. He wants to continue the confrontation but has no food and grass, so Only then will he bring out all the troops and bet his fate on this battle. For Meng Tian, ​​there is still a chance of survival if he fights, but if he doesn't fight, he will definitely die."

Zhang Er looked at Ge Ying next to Xu Fan and sighed. The King of Han really spared no effort in teaching his subordinates. No wonder the Han army has won many battles against the Qin army in recent years.

He immediately said to Xu Fan: "The last general requested to go to war."

Meng Tian may value Xu Fan, but for Wei Wang Jiu, a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, he has psychological contempt. Especially since the Wei State has been violently beaten by the Qin State for hundreds of years, Meng Tian's psychological advantage is even greater.

"No!" Ge Ying and other generals returned to their respective headquarters to command the army.

Ge Ying said angrily: "Meng Tian, ​​you are just a general of Qin. My king is the king of Han. How dare you take the name of the king of Han? Are you Qin people so disrespectful of etiquette?"

When the Qin army rushed into the 100-step position, Cao Shen ordered: "Shoot!"

"Boom!" A sharp voice sounded, and 5000 long arrows flew from the Han army's camp to the charging Qin army.

On the battlefield, a black cloud seemed to suddenly fly over the Qin army, and the whole sky was dark. Su Zhe, the captain of the Qin army, shouted: "Raise your shield!"

The soldiers of the Qin army also saw long arrows shooting towards them like a rainstorm. The soldiers raised their shields one after another, forming a shield formation with dozens or even hundreds of shields. "Da da da!" The long arrow of the Han army was like a devouring monster. He fiercely pounced on the Qin army with killing and blood.

After a long rain of arrows, a large number of Qin soldiers fell to the ground, and then let out bursts of wailing. Those who were able to move kept crawling towards the back, trying to escape from this hell.

"Keep charging! If you rush over, the enemy's long arrows will not be able to hit you!" Su Zhe, the captain of the Qin Army, shouted an order. Under his leadership, the Qin soldiers accelerated their charge.

"put!"

"Shhhhhh!"

"Put it back!"

"Shhhhhh!"

These two rounds of shooting were extremely fast, and nearly ten thousand sharp arrows shot at the Qin army almost at the same time.

"Da da da!" The Qin army suffered more casualties in these two rounds, and Qin troops were shot and killed one after another. The Qin army groaned sadly after being hit by a large number of arrows
But the Qin army ran faster. When they were sixty or seventy steps away, there was a deep trench blocking their way. After crossing the trench, the Qin army encountered the obstacle of the Han army's horse resistance.

Some soldiers wanted to move the horses away, but they couldn't move them even with all their strength. The soldier looked down and saw that the Han army had driven the horse into the ground with wooden stakes, so he could not move it.

"Puff!" Two long arrows hit the Qin soldier's chest. The soldier fell to the ground. Before he died, he said: "The rebels are so wicked!"

A large number of Qin soldiers were blocked in the trenches and their horses. They had to resist the long arrows of the Han army while crossing the trenches and pulling out their horses. The march was very difficult.

"Free fire!" Cao Shen ordered.

After speaking, Cao Shen inserted a dozen long arrows on the ground, and then he took three long arrows at a time.

"Boohoo!" He quickly pulled the long bow three times and shot three arrows. The three Qin soldiers who rushed to the front were killed.

Su Zhe, the captain of the Qin army, commanded the soldiers to use shields to resist the long arrows of the Han army, and then slowly advanced, while gradually removing the Han army's horses, antlers and other obstacles.

But they crossed a trench and dismantled a group of resisting horses on a front line. However, when they marched 50 steps, they encountered a trench and resisting horses again.

Su Zhe said angrily: "The sword and shield soldiers formed a formation to protect us, and the crossbowmen counterattacked the enemy."

The Qin army's archers began to counterattack, "咻廻咻", and shot countless long arrows at the Han army's camp.

Not to be outdone, Cao Shen ordered his men to counterattack quickly

"Boohoo!" For a moment, the long arrows from both sides were like rain, shooting out rainbows of long arrows in the sky.

At this time, the core of the battle becomes the bow and arrow. Whoever shoots more long arrows can kill more enemies and gain the initiative on the battlefield.

In this regard, no power in the world can compare with the Han State, not even Daqin, which has mastered assembly line production. The Han State's primitive lathes can increase the efficiency of producing arrow shafts dozens of times, and the blast furnaces are also more efficient than the Qin army's iron furnaces. Dozens of times higher.

The disparity in these handicraft industries is reflected in the fact that the Qin army can shoot one arrow, while the Han army can shoot ten arrows.

Two hours later, although the Qin army pushed forward to less than 20 steps away from the Han army's camp, the attacking Qin army suffered heavy casualties in front of the Han army's long arrows like a rainstorm, and blood flowed like rivers. When the casualties reached 3000 soldiers At this limit, the morale of the Qin army collapsed and the soldiers began to flee the battlefield.

In this tough battle against military and industrial strength, the Han army had the last laugh.

Meng Tian had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Meng Tian looked in the direction of the Han army and asked doubtfully: "Is it true that the Han army's long arrows can't hit all the targets?"

In the battle just now, the Han army fired hundreds of thousands of long arrows, and the entire Han army camp was filled with long arrows from a distance of 50 to 100 steps. He had only seen this kind of density under Xiuwu City.

Either the Han army had consumed several percent of its inventory at one time, or the rebel soldiers in one battalion really had so many long arrows. Meng Tian thought of the situation in Xiuwu City. Although he couldn't believe it, he had to believe in the rebels' There are many more Longjian than they do. If they fight like this, they can't defeat the rebels, so they can only find another way.

After just testing the attack, Meng Tian led the army back to the camp.

Xu Fan did not order an attack, but only ordered the battlefield to be cleaned.

The Qin army, the Chinese army's big tent.

Meng Tian and the generals of the Qin army stood in front of a makeshift sketch of the Han army's camp.

Su Zhe, the captain who attacked the Han army today, said to Meng Tian: "General, there are two trenches in front of the rebel camp. They are both very deep, and almost no one can put their head on them. After going down, it is difficult to get up, and the rebels' horses and deer antlers are all gone." It is hard to pull out after being nailed to the ground. In addition, the enemy has more archers than we do, and there are also arrow towers, and they have more arrows than us. If we fight hard like this, our army will suffer very heavy casualties."

Shejian thought for a while and said: "It is not difficult to remove these facilities. We can lay ladder wooden boards on the trench, and Juma can also be solved in this way. With the ladder laid, Juma will not be an obstacle.

The only difficulty is how to suppress the rebel archers. The general has an idea to pile up a mountain of soil so that our army can shoot down the rebel soldiers from a high position. "

Meng Tian frowned and said, "The amount of work is too large and we don't have time."

If anyone in this world is the first person in civil engineering, then it must be Meng Tian. He presided over the construction of the Qinzhidao and the Great Wall. As soon as Shejian finished speaking, he could calculate the amount of the project.

If there was no shortage of time and food, the Qin army could still use such tactics, but now Meng Tian has neither time nor food. According to the current food consumption rate, their earthen base has not been gathered yet, and the army will die due to lack of food. collapse.

Shejian said: "It doesn't need to be too wide. It only needs to be able to stand three or four thousand soldiers. Our army only needs to point Arrancar."

Meng Tian said: "Maybe you can give it a try!"

Apart from that, he couldn't think of any good solution.

The next day, the Qin army began to build up soil 150 steps away from the Han army's camp. Xu Fan immediately understood what Meng Tian was thinking. He didn't stop him, he just felt it was a bit funny, because Cao Cao gave him the best demonstration on how to crack such a tactic, and his stone cannon was much more powerful than Cao Cao's thunderbolt chariot. It gave Meng Tian some hope first and consumed the Qin army's strength. Not much food and grass would completely destroy his hope.

As a result, the battle became a stalemate. The Qin army continued to build up soil, while the Han army deployed stone cannons, waiting to completely crush Meng Tian's hopes.

On September 37, the th year of the First Emperor's reign, Xiang Yu's military camp in Linzi.

Xiang Bo received a warm welcome when he returned to Xiang Yu's army this time. Apart from anything else, bringing back 20 sets of weapons and armor was a great achievement for Xiang Yu and the others. It greatly solved the equipment problem of Xiang Yu's army, not to mention following He also came with shi of grain.

Long Qie looked at the food and said excitedly: "Second General, you are really the savior of our army. This food can solve our army's big problem."

After the three counties of Chu became independent, Xiang Yu and his army were in a state of shortage of food and grass. When Xiang Yu took in 2 defeated troops, the shortage of food and grass became even more serious. To a certain extent, Xiang Yu's attack on Linzi City was really a sacrifice of his life. , Xiang Yu's army that cannot conquer Linzi will also collapse due to lack of food and grass.

Xiang Bo said: "This is the first batch. The King of Han has said that as long as we can resist the Qin army in Qi, the King of Han will take care of our army's food and grass."

Xiang Yu was overjoyed that the food and grass problem was solved, and he could fight the Qin army more calmly without having to worry about the lack of food and grass.
