Iron Age? If Lu Zhe is not mistaken, the countries in the East are equipped with iron weapons, but many iron weapons are not up to par at all in terms of quality, so that although they are equipped with iron weapons, they can't take much advantage of fighting with opponents equipped with bronze weapons.

In later generations, quite a number of historians were very confused about one point, thinking that why the countries that had already used iron weapons in the Warring States period lost to the Qin army, which had always been outdated, and their explanation was that the Qin army was barbaric, fearless of death, and so on.

Historians may not have imagined that the bronze weapons equipped by the Qin army have been studied for nearly a thousand years, and they have reached the pinnacle of utilization. Iron is a new element of equipment, every new thing always needs to go through the precipitation of time to mature, and every new equipment will always have one kind of shortcomings before it.

Lu Zhe has seen quite a lot of verification, and even collected the equipment of the countries to test the iron weapons, and the facts have proved that the bronze weapons that have reached the peak are not those that are not mature iron weapons can win, at least the standard iron weapons of the countries and the standard bronze weapons of the Qin army are definitely better than the former.

There is an army in the Chu army equipped with mature iron weapons, this army has a rather special name called "Jiangdong Zidi Soldiers", their weapons are mature products that Lu Zhe can definitely be superior to the peak bronze weapons, which Lu Zhe covets day and night, when Xiang Bo and Jing Ju came to Nanling, Lu Zhe seemed to have made confusing articles in order to obtain Chu's iron-making skills, but unfortunately it was interrupted in the middle of many things.

Shusun Tong went to Wu County, the capital of Chu State, to discuss the marriage, and his biggest task was to find a way to hand over the technology of iron-making, and then many things to determine the marriage.

Lü Zhe coveted the iron-making technology of the Chu State, but he was not sure that the Chu State would be able to hand it over, and now the craftsmen under his command have mastered the new iron-making technology, and have confirmed in the test that they have outperformed the bronze weapons in use. To be honest, even Qin Guo's inexplicable actions could not change the ecstasy in Lu Zhe's heart.

Why not be ecstatic! Although the technology developed by their own forces is not known to be better than the iron-making technology of the known Chu State, it belongs to them after all, isn't it?

Whoever masters the trap and mature technology is equivalent to being one step ahead of others, you must know that in the battle of Lujiang County, 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers equipped with mature iron weapons can suppress 50,000 or 60,000 people to fight.

Although it is said that the Jiangdong soldiers suppressed the Lu Zhe soldiers not all by the lead of the equipment, but when the soldiers of Lu Zhe fought against the Jiangdong soldiers, there were definitely not a few people who died in battle when the shields and weapons of the soldiers of Lu Zhe were cut off and smashed.

How much of an advantage is it to be one era ahead of others? If this advantage is mastered, then it is definitely not a dream to set the world.

Of course, with the technology that is ahead of the times, we also need an army that can fight and dare to fight. Lu Zhe is not unaware of the fact that the Chinese civilization has been ahead of the barbarians many times in history, but he was pressed to the ground and beaten by the barbarians.

Technology, blood bravery, national strength, the combination of many things can be strong, and what Lu Zhe wants most now is to use the blood of hundreds of thousands of people to water their flowers that are just about to bloom.

After discussing the follow-up arrangements, Lu Zhe finally took 30,000 troops to the battlefield on the west bank of Xiangshui after two days of delay, and the change in the battle situation was not too big when they came to the battlefield.

Kuaitong's set of combination punches has already divided Baiyue internally, and what is even more poisonous is that when it was determined that Lu Zhe was going to come over, he even lifted the card of Yi Hu Ze, which further deepened the gap between Kai Mingsen and Yi Hu Song.

In the known civil strife in Baiyue, several tribes that were not part of the small tribes of Ouyue, Nanyue, and Minyue have disappeared. Before Lu Zhe came to the battlefield, a conflict broke out between Ouyue and South Vietnam, but it was only stopped in time that the chieftain of the Minyue tribal alliance tried his best to stop it.

"So, the Baiyue people are messed up by themselves, and their morale is almost none?" Lu Zhe knew that the coalition of many forces was unstoppable when he was in order. But when he encountered a setback, he was like this: "Where is Sima Xin's troops?" ”

When Sima Xin retreated, almost all of the troops were wounded, and they only stopped to rest when they retreated to the state tomb for about 100 miles.

Because of the retreat to the sphere of influence, what herbs and help needed can always be supported more quickly, the 35,000 soldiers lost nearly 2,000 strokes due to their injuries on the way to retreat. After the camp, the death toll was not so terrifying.

Anyway, the conditions will not be good when retreating, and you will move again if you are seriously injured. Pulling wounds and not being able to rest properly, the will is not enough to hold on, and death is absolutely inevitable. However, when they are stationed in the camp and are treated, even if the treatment methods are backward, they can always give the seriously injured a respite, and then take a life with medicinal herbs.

Nanling has a reorganized army every period of time, these newly formed troops will be pulled out when Lu Zhe is there, marching and exterminating the remaining bandits and other training, Lu Zhe is not in Nanling The order to mobilize troops has not been issued, and there are about 30,000 people in the accumulation of 20 days.

Considering that if Sima Xin went south again, the troops that had been fighting in Luo County for dozens of days would definitely not be able to fight all of them again, so Lu Zhe later ordered the newly reorganized 30,000 people in Nanling to go south under Sima Xin's command, and issued an order to Sima Xin to go south again to attack the remnants of the Baiyue Army after accepting the new army.

The more than 30,000 people who withdrew from Luo County to the surrounding area of the state tomb can only fight 13,000 people again, and the remaining soldiers must stay to rest, Sima Xin's head was stunned when he received the order to go south again, he killed and killed more than 200,000 Baiyue people in Luo County, but it was based on the premise that the corporal under his command was far stronger than the enemy, and the newly reorganized 30,000 new army would not know what it would look like, but it would never be stronger than the previous soldiers.

Fortunately, Lu Zhe's order was not for Sima Xin to go to battle with Baiyue alone, this time the task of going south was not to prevent Baiyue's defeat from flowing to the north, and the combined attack was not for them to serve as the main force, so in general, the task was quite easy.

After careful observation, he came to a conclusion that the new army was indeed inferior to the first batch of troops to go south in terms of non-commissioned soldiers, but there are many theories about "inferior", not that the new army is no different from the rabble.

The soldiers in the new army are all young and strong, which can be regarded as a good army in any country in the world, and there are quite a few soldiers in the new army who have fought and seen blood, and after several months of training, they have also developed the habit of obeying military orders.

Mass-produced soldiers, this is what Lu Zhe wants to do. Generals can't be mass-produced, as long as there are enough young soldiers to produce total energy, right? It is nothing more than using an assembly-line training method to concentrate on the young, and then using a fixed system to practice.

Sima Xin has undergone a sharp change in quality, and he can see the advantages of Lu Zhe's system, as long as the follow-up youth can be maintained, even if there will be setbacks on their side, but the follow-up manpower can keep up, and the consumption of soldiers on the battlefield will take a big advantage, after all, the system of forming troops in other countries (forces) lags behind them.

Just imagine, in a state of war, the soldiers will inevitably suffer battle losses in the battle, so the country with the follow-up qualified soldier source will definitely continue to fight more durably than the country without the follow-up qualified soldier source, and the country without the follow-up qualified soldier source will definitely suffer a loss in the soldier source once the qualified soldier is consumed.

"Sima Xin has regained Luo County, which is no more than thirty-five miles away from where we are." Zhou Wen's temperament has also changed a little, and his demeanor and tone of voice are much more stable than before.

What kind of people will always change because of what kind of things they have experienced, Zhou Wen commanded half of the troops less than the Baiyue people suppressed Baiyue, how could he also erect the courage in his heart, and because the development of the battle situation was smooth, there was more arrogance and confidence that the generals of the unified army should have, how could the temperament not change.

"What about Xu Zhi's cavalry?" Lu Zhe asked again.

Xu Zhi was a lieutenant general, but he had a strong control over the cavalry and was assigned the position of commanding the cavalry.

"Cruising within twenty miles of the battlefield, now ......" Zhou Wen raised his hand and pointed to the hanging map of mountains and rivers: "Here on the west side of the battlefield." The location of the point is marked as a forest.

Sima Xin was thirty-five miles away from the battlefield, and the cavalry was ten miles away, Lu Zhe turned his head to look at Zhou Wen, who was inexplicably looked at.

Lu Zhe had to admit that Zhou Wen was a little too cautious, and now that Baiyue was in chaos again, what should Sima Xin and Xu Zhi do when they were so far away, they should let Sima Xin pull over and camp at a position not more than five miles behind the Baiyue Walled City, and Xu Zhi's cavalry should also be gathered back and ready to rush to the camp at any time.

However, Lu Zhe didn't say much, Zhou Wen's uncultivated mind should not be destroyed, so he talked about the blockade of the navy.

Minyue's boats have tried many times of forced impact, Jingling's naval army has fought many times with the Minyue naval army on the water surface of Xiangshui is not too wide, and the Jingling naval army with the advantage of ships has the advantage in the general direction, but it is still a breakthrough caused by the Minyue naval army, and now there should be nearly 100 ships to complete the rendezvous with Baiyue.

"It's all boats? Only less than ten relatively large ships? "Lu Zhe is not disappointed in the appearance of his own water army, after all, it has only been formed for less than three months, what can he expect too much?

A small boat can carry up to ten people, and according to Zhou Wen's description, the capacity of the Baiyue people is that there are dozens of more people, and the maximum number of people will not exceed a hundred.

There is a Lingshui army, the Baiyue people will try to cross the river when they are dizzy, Lu Zhe is more certain after reading the battlefield situation, the Baiyue people are out of play, and they are completely out of play. (To be continued......)
