Chapter 492: King Meng's Battle

A few years ago, the central center of the Xianyang Palace of the Qin Dynasty discussed politics, strategized the general trend of the day, reformed the military and politics, retrained the new army, and moved most of the soldiers over the age of 40 in the original Lantian camp to the camp outside the Guan.

The older ones are directly returning to their hometowns, contributing to the cultivation and warfare, moving piecemeal, rebuilding the Lantian camp, sitting on 400,000 troops, and integrating the forces outside the Guanwai camp, gathering the heritage of the original Lantian camp, and also having no less than 200,000 troops.

At that time, the Qin State had more than four million people, and it was not impossible to gather more than one million armored soldiers with all its strength, but at that time, it would really be a big war for the whole country.

For more than 100 years, with the spread of the new policy of Qin, the four major branches of the military were established, and the soldiers of light vehicles, the soldiers of material officers, the soldiers of knights, and the soldiers of buildings and boats covered the entire army of Qin.

The soldiers of light chariots, for the soldiers of chariots, in the spring and autumn period, for the main arms of the major vassal states, the number of chariots is the standard to measure the strength of the military strength of the vassal states, and the chariots are multiplied, covering 50 to 100 soldiers.

It is the so-called, the country of a thousand times actually has more than 50,000 to 100,000 elite troops, and the country of ten thousand times actually has an effective army of more than 500,000 to one million people.

Chariot soldiers are more than flat terrain operations, when attacking to charge into battle, disrupt the enemy's formation, when defending, use chariots as a fortress to prevent enemy attacks, when marching, for the two wings and forward, supplemented by vehicle-mounted bows, crossbows, spears, many functions.

It's a pity that for the Qin State, due to the topography of Guanzhong, since the Warring States Period, these chariot soldiers who could be the main force in the Spring and Autumn Period have gradually become auxiliary troops.

From this, the infantry rises!

The soldiers of the material officers are the infantry, which is the main body of Qin Guonuo's great military strength, and can adapt to any terrain, weather, and battle form.

After Shang Jun changed the law, imitated Wei Wushu and established the status of Qin State Ruishi, for decades, the Qi State had technical fighters, the Wei State had Wei Wushu, and the Qin State had Rui Shi.

Wei Wushu was selected, wearing three layers of armor, Hege with a sword, holding a bow and crossbow of twelve stones, fifty crossbow arrows in the negative arrow bag, carrying three days' rations, and those who could walk a hundred miles in half a day could enter.

The same is true of the Qin army's sharp soldiers.

The Qin army was composed of five people, and there was one army commander. The second army is what, and the chief is one person. Five tithes for the tun, set up a tun chief. Two tuns are hundred, and one hundred generals are set up. Five hundred, five hundred masters. a thousand, two or five hundred lords.

Two or five hundred masters, already a thousand commanders, on top of which are ten thousand commanders, has been ranked in the position of generals, Qin infantry, there are heavy infantry in front, there are light infantry in the back, carrying bows and crossbows, and they will shoot in turn in battle.

The Qin people have risen because of their meritorious work in raising horses, and they have been located in the west for a long time, fighting against Xirong, and the cavalry corps is even more brave, and now in the Qin army, the Black Dragon Legion that only belongs to the king of Qin is the elite of the cavalry.

The cavalry shall be a group of four horsemen, three groups of one column, nine columns of one hundred and eight horsemen shall be a team, and may belong to six chariots. With infantry and chariot soldiers, it is enough to cope with any battlefield changes.

The soldiers of the building boat, is the water army, the number is second only to the light car soldiers and cavalry, although the Qin country is located inland, but the land of Bashu, there are many big rivers, the boat division and the water army on it, when the Bashu has not been destroyed, the country of Bashu has a large number of building boat soldiers.

Sima Coo's capture of Bashu and the expansion of the Lou Ship Army to counter the Lou Ship Army of Southern Chu. Decades ago, the Qin general Sima Cuo led 100,000 Bashu people, 10,000 large ships, 6 million meters, Fujiang and Chu, and won a successful war.

"King, in the past few months, General Huan Qi has led 50,000 Chen soldiers to the place where the party is staying, and General Mengwu has led 50,000 troops to gather with Yang Duanhe's 50,000 troops in the land of Pingyang to confront General Zhao Lian Po."

"There are still 80,000 soldiers left in the camp outside the Guanwai now!"

The camp outside the Guan, set up in Hangu Pass 300 miles, occupies a hundred miles of place, close to the river valley flow, surrounded by hills and high mountains, far away from the city, idlers are difficult to enter, however, today, a black heavy armor of the military generals out of the ranks, Xin Sheng in front, bowed down, and said slowly.

At the forefront, there is Qin Wangzheng wearing a light black medal, with a crown up, without too many cumbersome clothing and etiquette, stepping on black dragon boots, walking on the ground that has been tamped under his feet.

On the side is a delicate person who closely follows, although the delicate face is obvious, but the outfit is not as prosperous, the tight-fitting swordsman's robe is added, holding a short sword, after the hair is combed and falls down the shoulders, the bright eyes scan the surroundings, this is where the camp outside the Qin State Pass is located.

"Is there a shortage of grain and grass?"

Qin Wangzheng walked in the camp with great interest, and the reason was not announced, so the soldiers were trained as before, and a team of topless Qin soldiers continued to run back and forth to improve their physical fitness and strengthen their muscles.

On the shooting range in the distance, groups of lightly armed infantry were constantly shooting arrows, and the feathered arrows were constantly consumed, constantly recovered, and the orders were forbidden.

Looking at a team of strong and brave soldiers who ran quickly from not far away, they were very large, and if they held a blade in their hands, they would have a deterrent power, and in this regard, Qin Wangzheng was quite satisfied.

"There has never been a shortage!"

"Even when the Zheng Guoqu was built, there was no shortage of large camps outside the Guan, and now, the success of the Zheng Guoqu has made these soldiers eat freely, and they experience vigorous every day and their training is more effective."

Xin Sheng bowed and bowed again, since Shang Jun changed the law a hundred years ago, no one in the Qin army dared to be short of food, the old Qin people were bloody, bless the Qin law, who would dare to do this?

"The Qin army is brave, and the Qin army is a sharp soldier."

"The more they eat, the better, the more they eat, the stronger they become; The more he ate, the more joy he felt in his heart. Last month, Wu Shi Lujin offered 30,000 cattle and sheep, and the widow had ordered the transfer of 10,000 cattle and sheep to the camp outside the Guan. ”

"There...... Is it a military drill? ”

Qin Wangzheng is very right, the Qin army in front of him is the confidence of his own general trend in one day, that is, since the filial piety, several generations of Qin Jun have given him the confidence, no matter what, he can't treat them badly.

Now that the tide is not rising, all they have to do is train hard, strengthen their training, and they can provide them with everything, and they will have to earn that glory for themselves and for themselves in the future.

Looking into the distance, on a more open and flat land, a high platform rises, a military general in heavy armor holds a command flag and constantly waves something, and the phalanx teams in front of him move rapidly, changing many methods of siege, attack, and wandering.

Although he is not a general, he has read a lot of military books, and he looked at Xin Sheng in a word.

"King Mingjian."

"That is General Zuo Wang Ben is practicing the military formation, in order to combine the general trend of the art of war, over the past few years, tens of thousands of soldiers have been trained."

Following Qin Wangzheng's gaze, on the wide field in the distance, a familiar figure was waving the order flag, commanding a thousand-person team in front of him, looking at the speed of the changes in those military formations, Xin Sheng's heart was slightly relieved.

Finally, the king was not disappointed.

"General Zuo Wang Ben?"

"Is it Wang Qian's heir?"

A few years ago, Wang Jian was ordered by himself to rebuild the Lantian camp, and Meng Tian entered it, and at the same time, after Wei Yu served as the national lieutenant, after Meng Wu stepped down, he assumed the position of general of the camp outside the Guan.

According to the documents he read, Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, served in the camp outside the Guan, in this way, Qin Wangzheng was still quite satisfied, for many years, the Qin army, mostly to the Mengshi family, especially after the fall of General Meng, the glory is even greater.

But that's not what he wants, so he supported Wang Jian himself, he didn't let himself down, he fought many times, all of them made great achievements, and now in the Lantian camp, his prestige is prominent, but the Meng clan Meng Wu himself has not ignored it.

Meng Wu was a general in the camp outside the Guan, Meng Tian was a former general in the Lantian camp, and the youngest son Meng Yi was a deputy official in the Captain's Mansion, which was also a glorious body, so it was the way of the king.

"Not bad."

"When General Zuo Wang Ben was in the Zheng State affair, he personally led 10,000 elite soldiers to attack and kill tens of thousands of soldiers in South Korea outside Wancheng.

Xin Sheng didn't quite understand what the king meant, did he think that General Zuo Wang Ben was not very old, and it was Wang Jian who served as General Zuo? I couldn't help but walk tightly and continued.

"Hahaha, what "Corpse" said: internal actions do not avoid relatives, external actions do not avoid resentment, benevolent people are good, there is no choice, there is no evil, only where the good is. As long as he has the ability, the position of the king, and the widow will not be stingy! ”

"Li'er, with your feminine spirit, if you join the army, I am afraid that you will also be a general in the future!"

There are General Mengwu and General Huan Qi in the camp outside the Guan, and they are more severe than themselves in the promotion of characters, since Wang Ben can be promoted to this position, he should have great merit, Qin Wangzheng does not feel anything else in his heart.

Feeling that Xin Sheng was a little nervous, he couldn't help but smile, a pair of bright Danfeng eyes were full of appreciation, and then, without waiting for Xin Sheng to respond, he turned his words and looked at Gongsun Li beside him.

Dressed today, she is very heroic and sassy, and she returns to the appearance she saw at the beginning, and blesses her as a military general, I can't help it, Qin Wangzheng instinctively quipped.

"There are so many talents under the king, even if the concubine is hearted, I am afraid that the king will not be willing to do it."

The crisp sound is pleasant, Gongsun Li pursed her lips and smiled, her style suddenly appeared, and she showed her hand and pointed at these generals around her, quite helpless.

"Hahaha, the widow is reluctant."

"After patrolling the camp outside the gate, the widow will go to ...... with you, well, wearing the black dragon flag, this is urgent news from Xianyang, Zhao Gao, what happened?"

After Li Ji recovered, he went out of the palace with him, and along the way, the beauty was in a very good mood, and Qin Wangzheng was naturally good in his heart.

Of course, he didn't forget to go to Puyang with Li Ji, and was about to continue to say something, when suddenly, at the entrance of the camp outside the gate, a galloping horse came quickly, carrying the black dragon flag, saying that the king's order, where they passed, everyone retreated.

Seeing this, Qin Wangzheng looked stunned, and then his heart suddenly suddenly, could it be that something happened in Xianyang, and immediately, his eyes narrowed quietly, and he looked at Zhao Gao, the Shaofu Ling who didn't exist on one side.

"Whoa!"

A light red figure flashed, and in a few breaths, it was stopped in front of the galloping horse, holding the token, and the person on the horse fell, holding the black dragon flag in one hand, and taking out the cloth paper in the other.

"King!"

In less than ten breaths, the soldier who carried the black dragon flag and came from Xianyang retreated to the side to trim, and the documents he brought appeared in the hands of Qin Wangzheng, Zhao Gao presented it with both hands, and quietly retreated.

"Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom...... Actually escaped from Xianyang! ”

"It's those ranger swordsmen of the hundred schools again, damn it, the widow has forgiven them repeatedly, but unfortunately, they have never been able to grasp the opportunity, Xin Sheng, immediately pass on the widow's order, and hurry to the key road checkpoint leading to the six kingdoms of Shandong from the Qin State."

"I want to go, it's not that easy!"
