The Qin side was worried that the Han army would have unpredictable consequences when it entered the Qin realm, could the Han army be relieved that the 150,000 Qin army was approaching the direction of Woye?

Nei Shiten's resistance to the Han army's entry into the Qin realm made Li Liang guess in his heart, and Meng Tian next to him interjected appropriately and changed the topic so that the embarrassing situation did not happen at that time, but once the suspicion appeared, it would continue to grow like a seed that had already sprouted.

"The Han side is not completely at ease with us," Meng Tian did not use a reproachful tone, but just explained one fact: "What you did did aggravated Li Shilang's suspicion of our side, which is not conducive to the overall situation." ”

Nesteng smiled bitterly: "The instantaneous mental reaction, I didn't hold back for a while. ”

Li You asked stunnedly: "Since the king agreed, why didn't he send a document notice?" ”

Maybe Fusu has written documents, maybe the person with the king's order is still on the way here? It's just that the people on the Han side are from the water, which is faster than the land route?

"After marching for more than a month, the soldiers must be tired," Meng Tian glanced around, his position was high, and he could see many places: "Stop in place today to rest." ”

Nesten immediately responded with "Hey! Agreed, and waited for Li Youye, who had been expressing himself half a beat slowly, to respond.

Five miles away from the shore of Luoshui, there is a camp with intervals, and when you look down from a high place, it is simply a camp with many "products" in the shape of accumulation. Each section is fenced with stakes to set up barriers, and only in special places will there be zài gaps.

Qin Yu before the unification of the world with the nomads for almost 500 years of war, fundamentally not lacking experience in fighting with the Hu people, the multi-"product" word camp model of the camp is to prevent many advantages, first of all, to prevent the emergence of the situation of horse treading joint camp, the interval zone is also quite effective for the defense of fire attack, if you fall into the camp defense war is able to block layer by layer.

The Han fleet arrived, but apparently did not find a place where the big ship could dock, and the big ship stayed in the deep water. Only a few small boats rowed to the shore.

When Li Liang went to the shore to inquire about the situation, he negotiated with some generals of the Qin army, saying that it was necessary to build a simple ferry to facilitate unloading.

The person in charge of negotiating with Li Liang was Su Jiao, the "first general" of the Northern Qin Expeditionary Army.

Su Jiao, the so-called first general, does not refer to the strongest person in the Qin army, but a military position in the Qin army. The first battle general in the Qin army means that the troops in the first battle general sequence are all elite, and they are the sharpest knives of a certain Qin army field group.

Northerners are not as familiar with the use of the water system as southerners, and Su Jiao saw the crossing, but how to build a ferry port did not understand at all.

"Forget it, please ask the general to vacate an area on the shore to facilitate the landing of our personnel," Fortunately, it was Li Liang, a person who knew the Qin dialect, who temporarily acted as a liaison officer. Otherwise, some nonsense alone will be enough of a headache: "We will build the ferry on our own." ”

Su Jiao didn't resist this, and even kindly asked, "Do you need us to cut down the wood?" ”

Of course, Li Liang replied "Yes", and then shouted loudly to his own personnel who stopped on the water.

The construction of the ferry actually depends on the river beach location, the simpler the ferry, the lower the requirements for the location, if you just want to load and unload the goods at one time, you can actually point casually, but there will be a large number of Han troops who need to cross the river, then it is always right to build a solid point, and not just to build a ferry, what is needed is at least ten.

Su Jiao had the experience of fighting against the Han army. He found that in just four years, the division of labor in the Han army became more careful, and even a branch of the army that was completely responsible for engineering appeared.

"Huh? Engineers? Li Liang did not conceal it, nor did he need to conceal it: "It was a branch of the army that existed at the beginning of the founding of the army, and it was only later that it was perfected." It has strengthened the teaching and training of various skills, and it is a very useful branch of the army. ”

Of course, Su Jiao saw that the type of soldier called the engineer was very useful, if there was such a professional team, not only would it be very quick to set up camp. And on the way that the vanguard of the first army is approaching, because there are professional engineers to build bridges and pave the way, how fast should the march become?

In fact, the Qin army really doesn't know so much about water transportation, otherwise even Meng Tian didn't order to stop and rest today. Unless a part of the unloading is left and the rest of the army goes first, it will take some time to build the ferry just and the time spent on unloading will not be short.

"They've calculated everything, right?" As soon as Nesteng learned that it would take about two days, he immediately said that.

"Maybe." Meng Tian didn't think too much.

It is not a pleasant thing to ask for people in everything, and relying on people for logistics is tantamount to losing the initiative for an army. The Han side must have calculated that no matter whether the 150,000 Qin Northern Expeditionary Army was willing to stay and wait, in order to get the grain and other materials transported by water, they would need to stop in place, and the two Han legions would also arrive there in a time gap.

Meng Tian was more concerned about the Han army he saw, if he was not mistaken, the Han army he saw from Luoshui had already changed their weapons, no longer equipped with bronze but replaced with iron soldiers, which was different from the Han army led by the captain of the Qin realm.

"I have paid attention to the weapons of the Han soldiers, the length of the officers' swords is about three feet (about seventy centimeters), the soldiers have not been equipped with spears and all have been replaced with long spears, and some of the soldiers with short soldiers are equipped with single-edged swords (in fact, they are horizontal sword styles)." Li You's speech speed was a little slow, but the words were clear.

The Han military began to gradually change its outfit four years ago, and also eliminated some ancient pre-Qin style weapons, such as the Ge spear, which requires strict training to be proficient in adaptation, and added a spear that only needs to master the thorn and file to be used in battle.

At present, the "word" of "knife" has not been created zào, and it is always called sword. There were many types of soldiers in the Han army who used knives, such as the long-handled thick-backed knives of the shield-wielding Pu swordsmen, the cavalry used the horse chopping knives with curved amplitudes, the infantry used the horizontal knives with unbent armor-piercing properties, and the short knives (now called daggers) with a length of about 45 centimeters (now called daggers) equipped by crossbowmen.

The sword has gone to an extreme in the Han Kingdom, which is divided into ceremonial swords and murderous swords.

The ceremonial sword is actually a double-edged sword with a thin slice nature, which does not have the material to chop and does not have enough hardness to pierce, and it is simply a tool used by some literati to decorate (B) by subtracting the weight.

Murderous swords are generally attached to officers, and they adopt a kind of "concave and convex zuò method" in bronze craftsmanship, that is, the sword body is not a pen to the bottom. The thickness of some parts of the sword body is also different, and the length is strictly set at seventy centimeters. (Details can be found in the "Scarlet Bronze" article in the documentary "The Sleeping Legion")

In addition, it must be noted that in addition to being specially used to break armor, the horizontal knife is actually a kind of combat equipment for cavalry, and it is matched with a long-handled horse chopping knife and a Mo knife. At present, the Han army has not been able to master the use of the Mo Knife, so there is no so-called Mo Knife Soldier. In addition to the six-meter spears mounted in the columns, the heavy infantry of the Han army only targeted the combination of long-handled sabers and horizontal knives for hand-to-hand combat.

There were too many weapons eliminated by the Han army, until the arrival of the two Han army legions, Meng Tian did not see the shadow of many weapons popular in the ancient pre-Qin period under careful observation.

"They are all very targeted columns, and only a few strong men who look like fierce generals are also equipped with axes and pickaxes...... "Li You said that the Yue is actually a kind of axe. But in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it evolved into a flail, which was a heavy weapon that fierce generals liked very much, and the pickaxe was actually a mace.

One of the two Han army corps that came was a cavalry corps, and the other was an infantry corps in mixed mode, in addition to the war soldiers, there were many auxiliaries, the number was about 170,000, and the commander of the Han army was Sima Xin.

The crossing of the river by the army has always been a huge scene, especially one of the Han troops who came was a cavalry legion, so it looked even more huge.

Meng Tian learned that Sima Xin was Zhu Shuai's division of the Han State's Saiwai Front, and his heart was extremely complicated.

Once upon a time, Sima Xin was just the long history of a county in the Qin State. He also served as the chief general of a field army of the Qin army, after the Qin army went south and was defeated due to the epidemic and many reasons, everyone thought that Sima Xin's future would definitely be bleak even if he did not die, who would have thought that Sima Xin would rise to the top after joining Lu Zhe?

"Who is the new lieutenant of the Han Kingdom?"

"We haven't heard the news yet."

"Oh......"

Meng Tian inquired about the new Lieutenant of the Han Kingdom out of pure curiosity. It is to guess the next national policy of Han from the new candidate.

The state appoints someone to a certain position, and the local officials will have a new change due to the change of officials, and the change of personnel in the central government is even more related to whether there will be a change in the national policy.

Sima Xin stepped down from the post of lieutenant and became the commander of a field group army, and there were many candidates to succeed him as lieutenant. But in the end, it was Kuaitong who no one thought of becoming the new lieutenant.

Kuaitong's resume has always been in the military, but he is not a military general, and prefers to be a civilian official. After receiving the news, the Qin state center was speculating whether the military strategy of the Han state was going to change, and there was a call that Han Wang Zhe's appointment of Kuai Tong, who was more like a civilian official than a military general, to take over as a lieutenant might make the Han army in the expanded form turn to consolidate the interior.

It was not a simple matter for 170,000 Han troops to cross the river, but the fleet that had previously transported materials had been stopped in place, and there was a scene of endless flow of boats and boats on the Luoshui River, and even a large number of war horses were drawn into the river and artificially driven to cross the river.

Many animals are born to swim, and horses are naturally one of them, and several Qin generals stood on the bank of the river and watched many war horses enter the river like dumplings, and then swim across the river in groups, their eyes full of envy.

Zhang Han was one of the generals of the Qin army who stood by the river and watched, and his current identity was the second general of the Northern Qin Expeditionary Army, with 5,000 new cavalry under his command.

"Not all of them are Longxi horses, there are many of them are Zhao Di and Yandi horses," Su Jiao's eyes were good, and he seemed to be surprised when he found something: "How can there be such a horse?" ”

The pony is a bantam horse used for camels, which is actually a Yunnan horse, and the horse breed in the southern region is generally a pony, which is used as animal power.

Among the Han troops who came to this group, the number of war horses used for battle was nearly 120,000, and the number of horses used to pull carts and camels was more than 300,000.

The Qin State, which was gradually lacking in materials, was naturally extremely envious and shocked by such a large move by the Han State, and Meng Tian deeply felt how determined Han Wangzhe was to attack outside the Saiwai.

"What are those vans?"

"I heard that there are several uses, the main one is to carry soldiers, and it is also used to carry bed crossbows."

"Bed crossbow?"

"Yes, most of the mixed legions of the Han Kingdom have the habit of carrying military equipment, and there is a kind of van that is specially used to load giant crossbows, don't look at the long appearance on the surface, in fact, the two sides are stretchable structures, and the rear compartment can be raised after opening, revealing three multi-shot bed crossbows, and each van can carry at least fifty crossbow arrows up to one zhang long."

"How do you know that clearly?"

“…… I have seen the Han army conduct test launches. ”

The high-level of the Qin army was also very concerned about those new things in the Han army, and Li You, who had seen the test launch with his own eyes, asserted that no one could resist the kind of vehicles lined up and diffused. Meng Tian went to see it in person and came to the conclusion that if the number of such weapons was sufficient, no army would want to get close to the Han army in hand-to-hand combat, and guessed that the Han army carried so many vans to target large-scale cavalry charges.

It took about five days for the newly arrived Han army to cross the river, and Sima Xin sat on the last boat to cross the river last, and when he came to the ferry, not only all the generals of the Han army came to greet him, but also several important generals from the Qin army.

In the past, Sima Xin, as a long history, needed to rely on Montessori snort, and was naturally no stranger to Meng Tian, but relatively unfamiliar with Nei Shi Teng and Li You. And the second-level Su Jiao, Dong Peng, Zhang Han and others have some contact with some and some have not, such as Su Jiao once worked with Sima Xin, and Dong Fei also had a lot of contact with Sima Xin when he went to the Han Kingdom.

Sima Xin, who stepped ashore, did not have a high profile, and after greeting each other with the generals and colonels of his headquarters, he took the lead in sending greetings to Meng Tian.

Meng Tian didn't feel flattered either, and there was no need for that.

Sima Xin knew very well that his king's evaluation of Meng Tian was extremely high, and even said that as long as Meng Tian could belong to his account, the expedition would be extremely smooth, and even if he expanded westward in the future, there would be no shortage of commanders for the army, and so on.

The first warrior in China, not the so-called "famous general" in the civil war, is a general who has achieved incomparable glory on the battlefield against foreign races, Lu Zhe has always respected this kind of person, first Li Mu's grandson Li Zuoche was also valued by this kind of influence, and Li Zuoche has been committed to cultivating after belonging to the account.

The two whose identities have changed because of the passage of time, they did not have too much politeness after meeting, negotiating the order of the army is one of them, and the most important thing is to carry out the necessary communication, and then the army is also marching in the horn of the formation......
