Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 128 If I don’t die, it will be difficult for the generals to succeed!
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The deafening cheers echoed for two hundred miles.

The Qin soldiers' enthusiasm for Bai Qi made Bai Qi burst into tears when he reappeared in front of the army.

He hasn't been as happy as he is today for a long time.

Looking at all the soldiers in front who were raising their troops and cheering, Bai Qi suddenly felt that he had no regrets even if he was ordered to commit suicide by Ying Ji at this moment.

Immediately, he drove his war horse without any scruples and ran towards the back of the long army. Wherever he went, the Qin soldiers all stood in awe and cheered him with their swords raised high.

"Wu An-Jun! Wu An-Jun! Wu An-Jun!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The deafening sound and spectacular sight once made Bai Qi think that he had returned to the past, the days when he scolded Fang Qiu and attacked the city and conquered all.

The bodies on the horse stood up straight in an instant.

After running wildly for thirty or forty miles, Bai Qi finally had to stop his horse and stopped on a high hill, overlooking the mountains and rivers to the west.

Although he is full of ambition, time has passed and the God of War is dying.

"Hu-hu-"

A heavy breathing sound like a bellows sounded from Bai Qi's mouth. His old face was slightly pale, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, as sharp as an eagle.

Da da da--

Wu Zhui moved his four hooves and carried Ying Jun up the high hill. He kept pace with Bai Qi and stood quietly on the hill. Together they looked at the towering Taihang in the distance.

"That is the backbone of Zhao State!" Bai Qi calmed down his breathing, raised his riding whip and pointed at the Taihang Mountains in the distance and said: "If our Qin army completely occupies this place, we can divide Zhao State into two, and from now on we can even more powerful enemies. Zhao State will be conquered in less than five years! The Zhao family will also be completely integrated!"

When Ying Jun heard this, his eyes flashed, and he immediately turned to look at Bai Qi and said, "If Qin has enough food and grass, Qin will destroy Zhao within three years."

Bai Qi was silent for a moment after hearing this, then glanced at the army in the distance, and then nodded and said: "But our Qin country is in trouble. Even if we have the land of Bashu, it will take at least ten or even 20 years to accumulate enough food and grass to support the destruction of Zhao. It takes years to prepare.”

Having said this, Bai Qi turned his head and stared into Ying Jun's eyes. He crossed the entire east with the whip in his hand and said with a serious look on his face: "You must understand that destroying Zhao will not be so easy. The other five countries will never stand by and watch. Watch me, Da Qin, destroy Zhao."

A cold light flashed in Ying Jun's eyes. He naturally knew that the other five countries would not sit back and watch Zhao's demise. This time, Handan was proof.

However, there was no fear in Ying Jun's heart at all. He had already had a plan in his mind. He immediately raised his hand and pointed in the direction of South Korea and said decisively:
"Destroy South Korea first and completely open the way for our Qin army to leave Hangu and advance eastward. In this way, the three countries of Chu, Wei and Zhao can be under the peak of our Qin army at the same time. At that time, with the strength of the whole country and millions of troops, the three armies will advance together. Able to destroy the Three Kingdoms."

"Prince Jun is so courageous. He defeated the country with millions of troops." Bai Qi took a deep look at Ying Jun when he heard this, and at the same time, a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he did not hesitate to praise him.

But the next moment, Bai Qi shook his head and sighed: "It is a pity that our Qin State cannot support a million troops at the moment, nor can it prepare such a huge army. It also does not have a commander who is strong enough to destroy the country."

When Ying Jun heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, but he said without hesitation: "Qin State has these."

"All of them?" Bai Qi suddenly looked at Ying Jun in confusion. He was very clear about the actual situation of Qin State.

For this battle of Handan, Qin State had already spent all its savings.

Even after conquering Handan, Ying Jun gained something in Handan, but the gains from Handan City could only make up for a small part of Qin's deficit. It was simply impossible to support Qin's millions of troops, or even 20 troops for a year. Enough.

However, Bai Qi could also feel that Ying Jun in front of him was not telling lies. He immediately looked at Ying Jun with a serious face and asked in a deep voice: "Where did the food and grass come from?"

Ying Jun raised his hand and pointed to the north, and said with a solemn expression: "The Rongdi tribe in the grassland outside the Great Wall is even further north than the grassland."

grassland?

Is the grassland further north?
"A place of alien races?" Bai Qi pondered for a moment after hearing the words, then shook his head and said: "It can't be done. All the kings in the past have wanted to conquer the grassland, but at this moment, our Qin army is not strong enough."

At this point, Bai Qi raised his hand to signal Ying Jun who was about to speak, and continued: "I know your tiger and leopard cavalry are powerful, but their number is too small. These people and horses entering the grassland are just a large tribe. This is One."

"Secondly, I am not familiar with the terrain of the grassland. I have not set foot on the grassland for many years and do not know everything on the grassland. It is dangerous and unpredictable to step into it rashly. Even if I capture Rong Di on the grassland, I may not know it clearly. "

"Third, the tribes on the grassland are dotted all over the place. They often migrate with the water and grass and their whereabouts are uncertain. This increases the uncertainty of the army's campaign and makes it impossible to determine the target. It is easy for the army to miss the target or even waste its efforts."

The smile on Ying Jun's lips flashed away. If others didn't know it, Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry would definitely figure it out. Ying Jun would never doubt Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry's abilities.

However, in this situation, he would not speak clearly to Bai Qi in front of him. He only said with certainty: "If I go out on the day of the expedition, I will definitely conquer the grassland in one battle. You must understand in your heart that our Great Qin will definitely shift its focus next." To the grassland, even if it is just for war horses, our army of Qin will definitely conquer the grassland."

They can even push across the grassland and encircle Zhao and Yan from further peripheral areas to complete a strategic encirclement.

Even if Ying Jun didn't say anything about this kind of thing, Bai Qi understood it in his heart.

When Bai Qi heard this, he took a deep look at Ying Jun.

In the Battle of Handan, Ying Jun's reputation spread to the six kingdoms, but it also completely exposed the terrifying effect of cavalry to other countries, directly prompting Qin to completely eliminate bulky chariots and elevate the status of cavalry to the original position of chariots. .If the other six countries were not stupid, they would naturally shift their focus to cavalry.

Since King Wuling of Zhao and his cavalry in Hufu, this is the second time that the cavalry has shown such great splendor.

Even the improvement of the status of cavalry will correspondingly affect the strategies and arrangements of future army campaigns.

far-reaching.

The afterlife is terrifying!
Bai Qi couldn't help but have this thought flash through his mind again, and immediately stopped talking about the food and grass. He had already seen that Ying Jun valued the grassland very much, and he couldn't be convinced with just a few words.

"Even so. How to solve the problem of soldiers and armor? Our Qin State does not have that many soldiers and armor reserves. Even this time, when you lead the army to go on an expedition, the consumption of soldiers and armor is already very huge."

Bai Qi directly talked about the second question.

"There are also armors." Ying Jun's eyes suddenly burst into light, he looked at Bai Qi and blurted out: "Use iron to forge armors and prepare them for the army."

Bai Qi's face didn't change at all, he had already thought of this answer in his mind.

By this time, except for Qin, which still used bronze swords, the other six Shandong countries had begun to install iron weapons.

South Korea's iron weapons became famous throughout the Six Nations.

At that moment, Bai Qi's face hardened, he looked at Ying Jun and said, "It's not that Qin doesn't want to equip iron armor, it's just that Qin's iron forging technology has never been able to surpass the forging of bronze weapons, so it can't equip the army. .”

However, iron weapons are much lighter than bronze weapons of the same size. If soldiers are equipped, they can continue to fight on the battlefield for a longer time.

This is the advantage of iron weapons. Bai Qi has been in contact with iron swords for so many years, and he is very clear about the advantages of iron swords.

Bronze weapons are so heavy that many soldiers cannot hold the weapons for long periods of time. If lightweight iron swords can be installed on a large scale, the number of soldiers that the Qin army can fight will increase accordingly.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi's body trembled, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He turned his head sharply to look at Ying Jun, and asked in a trembling voice: "Have you found a solution? Can you forge a sword as good as a bronze sword?" A tough iron sword?”

hiss!
As he spoke, Bai Qi couldn't help but take a breath, and then held his breath. His heart, which had long been accustomed to seeing wind and waves, was beating uncontrollably faster at this moment.

If it can be replaced with iron armor, Qin can really pull up millions of tigers and wolves.

million troops.

Millions of tigers and wolves.

With millions of troops in hand, all the lands of the Six Kingdoms will be returned to Da Qin!

Thinking of this, two balls of fire suddenly lit up in Bai Qi's eyes, getting brighter and brighter, and his eyes were staring at Ying Jun in front of him.

Seeing this, Ying Jun nodded seriously with a serious expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "That's right. I found a way."

Ying Jun's method is to get the reward for signing in - "Hundred Steelmaking Methods".

Although it cannot be compared with the blast furnace steelmaking of later generations, it also solved the fact that Qin State did not have high-quality and sophisticated ironware at this time.

In conjunction with another copy of the "Nangshou Sword Forging Method" signed by Ying Jun, if combined with horseshoes, bilateral stirrups, and high-bridge saddles, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army's cavalry can be directly increased, resulting in a crushing effect.

After all, in later wars, knives completely replaced the status of swords, and knives were also more useful for cutting.

This is not a simple upgrade of arms, but a complete improvement of the entire army's armament, making its combat effectiveness even more fierce.

Moreover, Ying Jun also found the corresponding forging worker.

Thinking of this, Ying Jun couldn't help but look at the Zhao prisoners in the army. These Zhao people would also be his farmers in the future.

What Ying Jun could think of, Bai Qi also thought of it later. He was completely shocked by Ying Jun's news, but he didn't lose his composure like others. He took a deep breath and suppressed the shock, and then said :
"Okay! Okay! Okay! It's really destiny!!!"

Bai Qi said three good words in a row, a blush appeared on his pale face, and his eyes flashed, and then he said: "This leaves only the last question, three suitable commanders."

Having said that, when Bai Qi said this, the light that had just risen in his eyes dimmed.

Ying Jun saw all this and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I, Wang Lu, my brother."

"Me?" Bai Qi was startled, and then he sighed: "Your father-in-law will not allow me to live."

Having said this, a look of reluctance flashed across Bai Qi's old face, but he said with unusual certainty:

"If I don't die, King Qin will be uneasy! It will be difficult for Qin's generals to succeed!"
