"Oh? Lu Zhe sent someone to invite the hunt? Qi Wangdan seemed a little surprised: "Isn't that a fight?" What else are you talking about hunting? ”

Qi Wang Dan had already determined that Lü Zhe had formed some agreement with the Qin side, otherwise when Lü Zhe's army was oppressing the Qi and Yan coalition forces, how could the Qin army immediately attack.

Tian Rong hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, the minister thought about it, it doesn't seem like the Qin State had any collusion with Lu Zhe, otherwise the Qin army would launch an offensive, how could the Lu Zhe army, the Wei army, and the Han army stop and not attack when the coalition army is in chaos." ”

In addition, Tian Rong did not say that Lu Zhe was in a state of waiting for work, and the Qin army only came with 10,000 troops in the early stage, and there were not enough troops, so even if the Qin army achieved an advantage in the local battlefield, there was no extra force to take the opportunity to attack the coalition army that had not gained a stable foothold. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Zhe had a chance to attack the middle army of the Qiyan coalition army, but Tian Rong did not see such a situation, and could only say that the Qin army obviously wanted to pull Lu Zhe and them into the water.

Lu Zhe is a traitor of the Qin State, right?

There is nothing wrong with the majority of the courtiers and people from the Six Kingdoms in that new force, and the Qiantou under his rule is basically Chu according to the geographical division, right?

Whether it is from the emotional or practical needs, even if Lu Zhe himself just wants to divide the territory and not attack Qin, he will not be able to unite with the Qin State regardless of the wishes of his subordinates, and even reintegrate it into the Qin State flag, otherwise it should be a situation of constant internal turmoil.

Lu Zhe is not self-reliant and not self-reliant, and he is not satisfied with this point for the other countries, the former countries are busy with their own affairs, and the Qi country is even more involved in the internal martial arts intervention, but the Qi country is about to unite many parties to attack Qin, how can it force Lu Zhe to express his stance to attack Qin, so that all the countries (forces) known in the world participate in the great cause of attacking Qin.

Destroy the Qin State, and fight another overlord among the nations, the Qi State is economically rich and has a large population under its rule, and once the threat of the Qin State is also a mortal enemy, it will be destroyed. Then it should be the turn of the overlord of the world, and it is not without a chance for the Qi State to learn from the Qin State to dominate the world, which is something that the Qi State recognizes from the king to the ministers.

Qi Wang Dan glanced at Tian Rong with a little dissatisfaction, there are still outsiders here, even if what he said is wrong, he can't tear down the stage in front of outsiders.

The amount of information revealed by Lü Zhe's invitation to Huilie was a bit much, one of which was to make it clear that Qin Jun had nothing to do with him, and that Qin and Lu did not have any agreement; The second is that he already knows the purpose of Qi Yan's coming, which is nothing more than to suppress him and let him choose his camp.

Since Lu Zhe has already said that he will talk about it after seeing what the result of the fight is, Qi Wang Dan and Yan Wang Xia have nothing to hesitate. Let's do it.

"It's up to us to decide the quantity and location?" Zang Di sensed from here that Lu Zhe was full of trust in the combat effectiveness of his army: "Then it is limited to 30,000, and the place of battle is set to the north of the Chu camp, how about it?" ”

There are 10,000 fencists in the Qi army's army, which is a powerful class of Qi troops. The Yan State brought 60,000 horses (cavalry), of which 10,000 were veterans who had fought with Donghu in Liaodong. Qi sent fencers, Yan sent cavalry, and then drew 10,000 charioteers and crossbowmen, which is more reasonable for the coordination of troops.

In fact, the countries have long discovered a situation on Lu Zhe's side, and all countries are developing charioteers. However, there is no chariot in the formation of Lu Zhe's army, and they don't quite understand what Lu Zhe thinks, and they only think that Lu Zhe's foundation is weak, and he has no training methods for charioteers or insufficient financial resources.

The three thousand Qin army was able to suppress the thirty thousand Qi Yan coalition army just now, except that the Qi Yan coalition army was really tired when they first arrived. It has a lot to do with the chariots and infantry of the Qiyan coalition army retreating, the Qin army first used charioteers and cavalry to disrupt the Qiyan coalition army, and then the infantry soldiers continued to kill, and the charioteers and cavalry of the Qin army rampaged in the Qiyan coalition army. The Qi-Yan coalition army was completely chaotic and could not form an effective command, so it was naturally at a disadvantage.

The chariots of this year did not have axles, which meant that if you wanted to turn or turn around, you could not rely on the pull of the war horse itself. It is necessary to stop the chariot and get off the chariot, and the soldiers on the chariot jump off the chariot and move the body to complete the direction change, and it will take a certain amount of time for the Qi Yan coalition forces to turn the front of the chariot again. This is why when the Qi and Yan coalition retreated, they suffered a rain of arrows and found that the Qin army opened the gate to kill, and it was still difficult to change the formation to meet the enemy. It was because it was easy for the foot soldiers to turn around, but it was not easy for the front of the chariot to re-align with the attacking Qin army.

Although it has such and such shortcomings, there is no doubt that the chariot is the main force in the world today, an army without any chariot soldiers, even if Qi Yan knows that Lu Zhejun has successively defeated Baiyue, Chu and Qin in the south, but he still does not think how strong Lu Zhejun should be, even if it is really strong, it is an incomplete army called Huazi. Cause? Building a chariot requires not only the corresponding craftsmanship, but also a lot of copper and leather, so the charioteer is a well-deserved noble soldier among all arms!

"The north side of the Chu camp is a plain, and it can be placed with a width of five hundred chariots," Tian Rong said as he nodded: "It is the terrain suitable for chariot charges, and it is good to hunt there." ”

Zang Di chose there precisely because he wanted to give full play to the advantages of the chariot charge, after all, Lu Zhejun didn't have a chariot, and he couldn't think of how Lu Zhejun should deal with the high-speed chariot, so that the odds of victory were guaranteed.

Lu Zhe was also discussing how to hunt without charioteers.

The so-called hunting is not the same as ordinary warfare. There is no fixed routine in ordinary wars, where to fight, how to fight, every qiē is played on the spot. And the hunting is a bit classical, that is, the two armies agreed on a place, the two sides clearly put up a position, there is no zài sneak attack, it is a kind of war that fights in a dignified formation.

"It can be expected that the Qiyan coalition army will inevitably be the head of the chariot, and everyone has seen the scene of the chariot galloping up after completing the acceleration in the morning, and it is not something that can be stopped if you want to." The person who spoke was Kuai Tong, who was the military advisor who needed to introduce the most basic situation: "The battle site chosen by the Qiyan coalition army is also bound to be beneficial to the chariot, and the generals must be mentally prepared." ”

Lu Zhejun's development model has been changing.

Once because of the difficulty, Lu Zhejun mainly based on low-cost rattan armor soldiers, to be honest, the vine armor soldiers are really good in the forest and mountains, but the vine armor that left the forest and mountain vine armor is light, but the defense of the vine armor compared with the leather armor and metal armor is a little different, especially after the opponents in the back found that the use of rockets can ignite the vine armor, the role of the vine armor soldiers has been repeatedly reduced.

When it came to cleaning up Yunmengze, because too many crocodiles, cows and other beasts were killed, leather armor gradually replaced vine armor.

Later, the Yuecheng of Nanjun exerted its production capacity, and Lu Zhe used prisoners of war to open up a number of minerals, and the metal armor adopted a new melting and casting technology, and the elite of the guards in Lu Zhe's army took the lead in equipping metal armor in large quantities, and even the main force of each army began to equip it, and the number of troops with metal armor (bronze armor and iron armor) is about 50,000, of which 20,000 are heavy infantry formations.

Of course, metal armor is also divided into heavy armor and light armor.

Heavy armor is made of a combination of metal and leather, because the casting technology has greatly reduced the forging process, and the man-hours for making the zuò have been reduced a lot, but because it is a melting and casting technology, it finally reached 60 catties. The whole set of armor is divided into hand armor, shoulder armor, pocket (helmet), body armor, skirt armor, knee pads, boots, and even the things worn on the feet are also metal low and padded with leather, the whole person is completely a metal person, but also because of the use of the joint distinction system, in addition to the armor is really heavier, but there is no inconvenience because the joint activity is hindered. In this kind of armor, only the heavy infantry unit that adopted the Mo Dao training method was dressed, and there were a small number of heavy armor soldiers to protect Lu Zhe's safety, and the other troops were not deployed.

Light armor, as the name suggests, is a kind of armor with metal armor in the vital parts of the torso, without the corresponding hand armor, shoulder armor, knee pads, boots, the total weight is about 20 pounds, for the defense of arrows and leather armor is the same use of multi-layer vacuum leather technology, but for hand-to-hand combat defense...... To be honest, it can only reduce the damage, and it is impossible to be invulnerable.

Because he accidentally discovered the manufacturing method of mild steel when he was using iron-smelting technology, Lu Zhe intended to make some chain mail, but it turned out that the process of making chain mail was much more complicated than forging armor and melting and casting armor, so he gave up this unrealistic idea, otherwise chain mail would be very useful for defending against arrows.

"The heavily armored soldiers are equipped with large shields, and some of them have specially trained defensive chariots. Coupled with a sufficient number of spearmen and crossbowmen, it is quite certain to block the enemy chariots. It was Su Lie who spoke, and he said it in a sullen voice, not because he was weak-hearted, but because this guy didn't pull his mask on.

Lu Zhe laughed a few times and added: "We still have 30,000 cavalry, of which 10,000 are heavy cavalry equipped with Ma Kai. ”

This time, Lu Zhe did not hide it, and it was considered to have equipped the stirrups for the cavalry, so that the cavalry's charging ability would definitely be strengthened.

Equipping stirrups is not a hot head for a while, the number of horses owned by Lu Zhe is about to exceed 300,000, and organizing 100,000 cavalry is a matter of one or two years. In addition, the grassland Hu people are about to go south, and there will be a lot of cavalry battles in the future, and it is the stirrups that should be equipped to let the cavalry adapt, otherwise it may be a little late to adapt to the battle with the Hu people.

On the other hand, Lu Zhe is also thinking with modern thinking, he forgot that it was not easy to spread information in this era, thinking that he would soon know and imitate the grassland Hu people when he was equipped with stirrups, but the fact is that it will take at least two or three years to spread the news from the south to the grassland, and it will take longer for the grassland Hu people to figure out what the situation is, and they will have already handed it over after four or five years of going back and forth.

"Then it's heavy armor, heavy cavalry, and the corresponding crossbowmen and other troops?" Kuaitong doesn't have the ability to predict the future, and he doesn't know the limit on the number of hunters agreed by Qi Yan, but he is just making the final determination of the type of troops to fight.
