Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 621 How naive!
Domestic undercurrents have not affected foreign combat plans.

Zhao Kun pays close attention to the war situation abroad all the time.

And Wang Ben knew this very well, and every once in a while, he would send someone to deliver military reports to Zhao Kun.

Although Daqin has successfully experimented with the telegraph, there is still a long way to go before the telegraph is put into use.

Now, the vanguard army of the Great Qin has arrived at the border of the Western Regions, and the entire Western Regions are in operation for the logistics supplies of the Great Qin Expeditionary Army.

The rest of the countries, no matter what their intentions were, at least after seeing the military power of the Great Qin, they consciously did not engage in trouble.

Li Xin naturally knew what they were waiting for, it was nothing more than the result of the first battle.

Barbarians have always been like this, fearing power but not virtue.

If you are strong, they will attach to you, if you are weak, they will spurn you, betray you, and even unite with your enemies to beat you.

Therefore, if this expedition cannot be fought beautifully, these countries in the Western Regions that were originally attached to the Great Qin will definitely have different thoughts.

Of course, Da Qin is not worried about their other thoughts.

If you dare to have a different heart and disobey Daqin, there is only one end, and that is to perish and destroy the country.

Da Qin has always used both grace and power to barbarians.

Now that Great Qin is coming with a crushing momentum, carrying Tianwei's surging power, it is bound to crush the crime of disrespect of the Bendu Kingdom.

And these countries in the Western Regions will naturally be afraid of this kind of power.

Now they don't want to say anything, as long as they honestly follow Daqin's established plan and do their part.

And, they're sure to be more well-behaved than ever.

As long as the Bendu Kingdom showed even a modicum of resistance in this battle, then no one could tell what those idiots in the Western Regions were thinking.

Seven days later, the Great Qin Vanguard Army led by Li Xin had arrived at the eastern border of the Bendu Kingdom, less than [-] miles away from Kaer Morhen.

The first battle is about to start.

At this time, in the tent of the Qin army, Li Xin looked down at the military sand table customized by the Academy of Sciences for the expeditionary army.

This military sand table is extremely delicately arranged. There are mountains, rivers and rivers on it, all of which are scaled on the board according to a certain proportion.

Marching all the way, Li Xin was amazed by this military sand table several times.

There is no other reason.

It's just too precise.

As long as it is deduced according to this ratio, the error of this sand table is hardly more than ten miles.

Moreover, its three-dimensional shape is very intuitive.

Compared with it, the rough parchment map that Li Xin used in the army before is not worth mentioning.

Just sketching a shape with a pen casually has a little meaning.

It would definitely be a bad thing if we fought against that map.

The military sand table in front of Li Xin is exactly the surrounding environment of Kaer Morhen City.

Kaer Morhen City is the largest city-state in the northeast of the Bendu Kingdom, covering an area almost equal to half of Guanzhong.

The main city is built on the mountain, and there are steep cliffs on both sides of the mountain, which can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Kingdom of Bendu has 35 soldiers and horses, and concentrates its forces to defend the northern continent.

In a siege battle, you are faced with five times your own troops, and you cannot complete the encirclement.

This kind of battle, when Li Xin was young and frivolous, he didn't dare to say lightly that he could win this battle.

After all, being surrounded by ten is the experience summed up by senior military strategists from countless wars.

However, at this time, Li Xin was full of confidence.

Today's Great Qin is no longer the time when the soldiers were able to go to war with a ten-pound pancake hanging on their chests during the melee in China.

Not to mention anything else, the equipment in the army alone is far ahead of before.

Not to mention that everyone wears armor, the weapons they use are also made of fine steel, and the weapons for long-distance attack and close-combat are all matched with their bodies.

More importantly, the Academy of Science and Technology spent almost all of its resources on this expedition to the Bendu Kingdom, using all of its best skills.

This expedition is to avenge the Academy of Sciences. Apart from Zhao Kun, the most angry people are the group of technical nerds in the Academy of Sciences.

When these people become war madmen and burst out with energy, it is absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even Li Xin, a veteran in the army, was terrified of it.

The vanguard army led by Li Xin was equipped with a total of five gunpowder speculators.

This kind of speculation was restructured by the Academy of Sciences based on the catapult.

Compared with long-range weapons like artillery, this kind of speculative melee siege is very powerful.

Two hundred catties of gunpowder can be thrown on the city wall one hundred feet away at one time.

This big killer is Li Xin's confidence in attacking Kaer Morhen.

To be honest, Li Xin was very satisfied with the performance of the Bendu Kingdom.

Li Xin would be very upset if the Bendu Kingdom was directly persuaded because of Daqin's sending troops.

When he was young, he fought for the first emperor in the Six Kingdoms, except for the battle against Chu, he was almost undefeated.

Although Li Xin had been depressed for a while, he never lacked the arrogance of a famous general in his heart.

This time Zhao Kun specially appointed him as the deputy commander of the expeditionary army. Li Xin knew very well what the second emperor, who had only met a few times, expected of him.

Because of one defeat, half his life was wasted, doing nothing.

How could Li Xinxin ever be reconciled?

He never hated others, only hated that he was not strong enough back then, and was defeated by Xiang Yan just because a mere Lord Changping rebelled.

Every time he dreamed back at midnight, Li Xin also thought, if he was stronger back then, even if he attacked back and forth, wouldn't it really be possible to turn defeat into victory?
This time he went to the Kingdom of Bendu and led the army to advance all the way. The faith in Li's confidence gradually recovered.

He had lost his halberd in the state of Chu before. Although his will was depressed, he still made great contributions to Great Qin in the subsequent wars.

That is to say, after the unification of the six countries, Li Xin left depressed.

Suddenly looking back, he realized that the main reason for his depression these years was not because of that failure.

It's that he can no longer fight on the battlefield.

He, Li Xin, was born a man destined to die on the battlefield.

In Li Xinxin's mind, the first battle with the Bendu Kingdom is the battle where he announces his return to the world.

In his opinion, the previous battle against the Huns was completely dominated by Zhao Kun and had little to do with him.

Even without himself, Zhao Kun could still destroy the Huns.

And myself, it's just icing on the cake.

But this time is different. Although he is the deputy commander in name, he is actually the same as the head coach when he goes to the Bendu Kingdom this time.

Wang Ben did not interfere with his command.

So from Wang Ben's point of view, he should also want to be successful.

So if the Bendu Kingdom is a gutless quail, it is not difficult to fight, what is the point of such a battle?
A real famous general is never afraid of the strength of his opponent.

Instead, what they fear is an opponent who has no fighting spirit.

Because only the tempering of iron and blood can make them feel the thrill of fighting.

Pontus Kingdom, very good.

At this time, Li Xin raised his head and looked towards the door when he heard movement outside the account.

A messenger soldier quickly ran in.

"Report—!"

"General, the city of Kaer Morhen has been closed. The lord of the city, Mesero, sent [-] rangers to leave the city yesterday night, heading north."

Hearing this, Li Xin raised his eyebrows, and then smiled.

The so-called knowing oneself and the enemy will never end in a hundred battles.

Although the Bendu Kingdom is also a country of barbarians in the eyes of the Great Qin people.

However, as a commander in chief, Li Xin never underestimated any opponent.

Garrisoning Kaer Morhen is the Mesero family, a great aristocrat in the Pontus Kingdom.

The Mesero family has been in the army for generations and has a high reputation in the army of the Kingdom of Pontus.

The Pondu Kingdom has been in control of the army since the Antigonus period, and it does have some skills in commanding the army.

See you today, but that's all.

Fifty thousand light cavalry left the city just to confuse themselves and use it as a surprise soldier.

Li Xin was extremely disdainful of this kind of charming trick.

However, the opponent was able to be so cautious with five times his own strength and was still in the strategic advantage of defending the city, which was actually a good opponent.

"Order the whole army to make meals at the third watch tomorrow, and start at the fifth watch, and attack the city at the hour of the hour!"

After thinking about it, Li Xin definitely launched the attack according to the established plan.

In the early morning, the city of Kaer Morhen was hundreds of miles away from the Qin Army camp.

A white-haired old man covered in golden armor stood at the top of the city, looking east.

This person is the old Mesero, the patriarch of the Mesero family, who was promised an important task by the king of Bendu.

At this moment, Old Mesero's face was full of worry.

The King of Pontus colluded with the Carthaginians to commit suicide. It was only after half a year that the old Mesero found out about it.

This is also the news that his grandson revealed to him before leading troops to Daqin.

Before sending his grandson away, the old Mesero had a bad feeling.

Having lived for more than 60 years, his thoughts are much calmer than that of the King of Pontus who just passed his thirties.

Since Daqin extended its sphere of influence into the Western Regions, old Meserro began to study Daqin.

He has been in the army all his life, and what he is most interested in is naturally the military system of Daqin.

During the Warring States Period, China was in a melee, and Daqin had one against six, and still won the battle and unified China.

During this period, the land of Huaxia suffered more than 200 million casualties.

This amount of battle damage was never heard of by the old Mesero.

If this news is said, it only lets him know the cruelty of the war in the land of China.

The fact that Zhao Kun destroyed the Xiongnu in northern Xinjiang was enough to shock him.

Because the Huns were destroyed by the Great Qin, the old Mesero had a rough assessment of the strength of the Qin army.

The fighting power of the Huns was personally taught by the Mesero family.

When the Huns went deep into the Kingdom of Pontus, the first battle was fought with the grandson of the old Mesero.

However, his useless grandson fled in the face of the wind that time, and he lost the face of the Mesero family.

Afterwards, the Huns repeatedly massacred cities in the Kingdom of Bendu, which gave Old Mesero a clear understanding of the Huns' combat effectiveness.

Such a ferocious Xiongnu was suppressed by Emperor Qin II alone, and turned out like a dog.

And when the Huns were at their peak, they were also pressed to the ground by Zhao Guo Li Mu.

At that time, Zhao Guo, together with the other five countries, was hanged and beaten by Qin's army.

With a simple calculation, it will soon be known how brutal Daqin's army is.

Not to mention, during the melee of the Seven Kingdoms, Daqin did not have such a heaven-defying institution as the Academy of Sciences.

The bronze weapons they used were relatively small in output.

Now, how powerful the Qin army equipped with gunpowder weapons is, the old Mesero can't imagine how powerful it is.

In the heart of Old Mesero, he actually disapproved of the King of Capital and Daqin's toughness.

This time when Daqin sent troops, it was upright, and the strength of the troops and the situation of the march were not hidden from anyone.

27 troops, this is the entire strength of the Great Qin Expeditionary Army.

Although the number of people is small, it is in the deduction of the old Mesero.

To destroy the Bendu Kingdom, Daqin dispatched nearly 30 troops, and it already looked up to the Bendu Kingdom very much.

If the old Mesero is to command the Qin soldiers, he is confident that only 15 elites will be enough.

The old Mesero has never been arrogant, let alone underestimated.

Although the current Daqin army does not have a good reputation outside, except for Wang Ben, those who have a good reputation in the military recently are all young people.

However, the melee of the Seven Kingdoms was only 25 years ago.

It is impossible for all the famous generals of the Great Qin Dynasty who participated in that battle to die, right?

Commanding troops in combat is actually a knowledge accumulated through experience.

Old Mesero didn't think his abilities were better than those of Daqin's generals.

In particular, it was Wang Ben and Li Xin who led the troops of Daqin this time.

The two of them here are both men of great military exploits.

However, at this time, the king of Bendu has completely fallen into madness, and he can't listen to anyone's suggestion at all.

After the conscription order was issued, the number of the Bendu Kingdom's army expanded rapidly, and now it has exceeded 110 million.

The king of Bendu even gave birth to a ridiculous illusion of "I am the only one".

However, there is still a sliver of rationality left in the mind of King Bendu.

He didn't think he could really defeat Qin's army, but if he just blocked Qin's expeditionary army, it would be a victory for the Bendu Kingdom.

Mesero knew exactly what was going on in the mind of the king of Pontus.

After touching the Great Qin Nilin, the short honeymoon period between the Bendu Kingdom and Carthage also came to an end.

The failure of the plan to steal the secret recipe of gunpowder meant that Carthage completely lost hope of a comeback in the Punic War.

It is already a foreseeable fact that Rome is the only one in Europe.

After Bendu Kingdom did that kind of thing, it was already hard to tolerate with Daqin.

To survive, the Pontus Kingdom must form alliances with other countries.

Looking at the world, it seems that only Rome and Qin have the power to fight.

Therefore, the king of Pontus intended to ally with Rome.

However, the Romans, with all their muscles in their heads, never made alliances easily.

If you want to form an alliance with Rome, you must at least show your own value.

And blocking Daqin's attack is the certificate prepared by the king of Bendu.

Thinking of this, Old Mesero sighed: "How naive!"

Compared with the mysterious Great Qin, he knows exactly what kind of piss the Romans are.

As the overlord of Europe, the Romans never bothered to make alliances.

Even if it is an alliance, it is a disposable item they find for profit, and it is a thing that is discarded after use.

The alliance between the Kingdom of Pontus and Rome is completely seeking skin from a tiger.

At this time, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the east.

For a moment, the old Mesero only felt his blood rushing up.

He suddenly raised his head and looked to the east.

I saw a dense black shadow, as if jumping out of the rising sun, and appeared in the sky in the blink of an eye.

Old Mesero couldn't help clenching his fists.

Qin Jun, is it finally coming!
