Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 282 The World is One and the Hero Returns ([-])

After a pause, the King of Qin continued: "The land of Hetao is very important to Huaxia. This is a major event that will benefit thousands of years. If you want to fight, you must fight well. General Li, what else do you want? If you need it, you just say it."

These words were very bold, and Li Mu once again admired King Qin's boldness from the heart, saying: "Go back to the king, there is nothing missing, the reason why Li Mu has not acted yet is to wait for the opportunity. In the past, there were no roads, no ports, Supplies in the north are very difficult, now that there are roads and ports, the supplies are sufficient, enough for a battle.”

"It's all thanks to Mr. Zhou." King Qin praised: "If it weren't for Mr. Zhou's proposal, the supply in the north would still be a problem, and it would be really difficult to enter the prairie."

Li Mu agreed with King Qin's words and said, "What your majesty said is absolutely true."

Zhou Chong said modestly: "The king has won the award. He has done his part for China. Zhou Chong has only done what a Chinese citizen should do. He dare not be praised by the king."

"It's rare for Mr. Zhou to make meritorious deeds without being arrogant." The King of Qin praised him very much, saying: "There are people who are talented and like to make meritorious deeds, but they are proud and think they are great after they have made a lot of meritorious deeds. Such people should learn from Mr. Zhou. .”

Zhou Chong spoke modestly again, and said: "General Li, Zhou Chong has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

Li Mu knew that Zhou Chong's ingenious schemes were endless, so he must remind him of something very important, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhou has something to say, and Li Mu should listen attentively."

"The general is serious." Zhou Chong reminded: "The Hetao grassland is convenient for the cavalry to intersperse in depth. If General Li can invest a large number of cavalry in this battle and use the mobility of the cavalry to attack the camps and leaders of the Huns, It will be twice the result with half the effort.”

The reason why Zhou Chong said this was because he was worried that Li Mu was limited to the military theory that cavalry was not yet dominant at that time, so he did not use cavalry in large quantities; moreover, Zhou Chong wanted to use this battle to provide Qin with a large-scale cavalry regiment. Combat examples will play an extremely important role in future military innovations.

The cavalry changed from a subordinate position to a dominant force in the war in the near future, that is, the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who used Wei Qinghuo Qubing and other outstanding generals who were good at using large-scale cavalry legions to fight. defeated the Huns.

And Wei Qing captured the land of Heshuo by using tens of thousands of elite cavalry to carry out long-distance raids from thousands of miles away. If this tactic was used in the Qin Dynasty, it would be very advanced and would play a very important role in defeating the Xiongnu.

As soon as Zhou Chong finished speaking, King Qin immediately said: "Mr. Zhou's words reminded me that the role of cavalry has been well verified when they attacked Handan. But that was in the Central Plains, not the prairie. Unobstructed, wider and more suitable for cavalry combat. General Li, do you need cavalry? Do you need horses?"

Li Mu didn't answer in a hurry, but frowned, thinking.After a while, Li Mu stood up abruptly and said, "Mr. Zhou is right in reminding you. If Mr. Zhou hadn't reminded you, Li Mu would have made a big mistake. Li Mu originally thought that this battle would be dominated by infantry and supplemented by cavalry. , It seems that this is not going to work. Li Mu decided to use the cavalry as the main force, supplemented by infantry, and use the high-speed mobility of the cavalry to carry out large-scale penetration and encirclement attacks. Your Majesty, Li Mu needs [-] cavalry and [-] horses. Can Your Majesty give it to Li Mu?"

"Well, you General Li, you're really a lion." Qin Wang smiled and said, "No problem, I'll do as you please. But let's get this out of the way first. After capturing Hetao, you have to return more horses and even more horses." Lots of cavalry."

Li Mu confidently said: "No problem."

Zhou Chong reminded again: "General Li should pay attention to using crossbows more. The Huns grew up on horseback and could spend their entire lives on horseback. However, they are not invincible. They also have their own shortcomings, that is, Huaxia's technology. It is too difficult for them. They would rather bend their horses and bend their bows than learn the technology of the Central Plains and use the technology of the Central Plains to innovate their tactics. General Li takes advantage of our equipment being better than the Xiongnu, and it will not be a problem to defeat the Xiongnu It's over." As for the deployment of troops and the use of tactics, Li Mu is an expert, so Zhou Chong didn't remind him.

Li Mu beamed with joy, and said: "Mr. Zhou's words have reached Li Mu's heart. If we only talk about riding and archery, the Central Plains people are far inferior to the Huns. However, Huaxia's technology is far more advanced than them. Our crossbow The shooting range is much farther than that of the Huns, and with the Wangshan on the crossbow, the shooting is more accurate. If the Huns want to use their bows and arrows to defeat us, it is like hitting a stone with an egg.” Wangshan thought Equivalent to the front sight on the current firearms.

These words can be called incisive words. In order to deal with the nomads who are skilled in horse bows and horses in the north, successive dynasties have developed a large number of crossbows. The crossbow weapon has played a very important role in the tranquility of the northern border of China.

Mengtian used crossbows extensively when he regained the land of Hetao, and the Huns thought that their bows were enough to be invincible. When they faced Mengtian's army and suffered a big loss, they realized that their bows were better than Qin's. The Qin army's crossbows were far behind, and the Qin army's crossbows shot farther and more accurately than their bows.Therefore, it is a matter of course that the Huns, who were called "guerrilla experts" by later generations, withdrew from the land of Hetao.

The King of Qin laughed and said: "General Li said one thing is missing, that is, you still need a lot of Duke Zhou crossbows. This is easy to handle. Your army has a Duke Zhou crossbow. When you meet the Huns, you shoot arrows. See if the bows of the Huns are strong or not. How powerful is Duke Zhou's crossbow? General Li, what do you think?"

Li Mu didn't even think about it, and said: "Your Majesty is a wise man! Meng Tian's infantry defeated the Xiongnu's elite cavalry in that battle, because they used the Duke Zhou's crossbow. With the Duke Zhou's crossbow, the Huns are not afraid to go to the sky."

King Qin laughed loudly and said: "Then I will wait for your good news."

All the people present here are people with extraordinary talents. Although Han Fei and Li Si are not master soldiers, it is not that they have no research on the art of warfare. Naturally, they can hear the benefits of such a treatment. It can be said that they really want to fight according to this method. The Xiongnu are really not beaten, and they are all full of joy.

Li Mu said confidently: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Li Mu will never disgrace the king's order."

Qin Wang was very relieved and said: "With General Li sitting in the north, I will have no worries."

Li Mu sighed: "The king won the prize. If Mr. Zhou hadn't reminded him, Li Mu would have made mistakes, and the Battle of Hetao would have been much more difficult. Li Mu's trip to Xianyang was worthwhile."

Qin Wang nodded and said: "Mr. Zhou's ideas are always so novel. Not only you can feel this, but I also think so. Many things, I get inspiration from Mr. Zhou. If Mr. Zhou didn't give me inspiration, I would You will also make a lot of mistakes. There is nothing to worry about in the north, and I can focus on the south. You all talk about how to destroy Chu. Mr. Liaozi, you talk first."
