The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 530 Shesheng Camp [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

What Yang Duanhe couldn't understand the most was that this battle went too smoothly.

According to the Qin State's Guowei Mansion's deduction, it was only a matter of time before Bingzhou took over Wuwei City. They had no doubt that Bingzhou could take over Wuwei City.

However, according to Qin's deduction, Bingzhou's losses would not be small.

Especially in the early stage, before the main force of their central army arrived, the Yulin Guards should just lead the way and wait for them to arrive before launching a formal attack.

However, they did not expect that they could lead their troops straight in and arrive at the city of Wuwei without any hindrance.

"Tell me what happened?"

In front of Yan Yan, Yang Duanhe was humble and without airs, but it was different towards Qiang Wei.

He was a general of the Qin State, while Qiang Wei was just a minor general. In terms of position and rank, he was much higher than Qiang Wei. Even Qiang Wei's boss Li Xin was a junior in front of Yang Duanhe. In terms of title, Yang Duanhe was the Right Minister, while Qiang Wei was just a Gongcheng. The gap was huge.

In the Qin State, people with higher titles have always had the power to dominate those with lower titles.

Even if one's official position is higher than the other person, one cannot command someone with a higher title than oneself.

This also shows the importance and honor of the title. This was not the era like the late Qin Dynasty when titles were everywhere.

Nowadays, all titles are obtained through military merit, except for those hereditary titles.

"Just... like this... like that... and then it was like this!" Qiang Wei described in detail what he saw along the way.

Yang Duanhe looked at Qiang Wei in shock.

Not only was he shocked by the terrifying combat power of the Yulin Cavalry that could scare Dugu Longcheng into fleeing, but also by the fact that Qiang Wei had been sold out and still didn't know it.

He could see the strength of the Yulin Cavalry from the other arms of the Yulin Guard.

The real Yulin Guard not only had cavalry, but also the largest Hufu Camp, Zhonglei Camp, which was responsible for guarding the central army, the Shesheng Camp, which was composed of sharpshooters, the Changshui Camp, which was good at water battles (it followed Li Ren to Juyan Lake), the Huben Camp, which was used for attacking strongholds, and the largest infantry battalion.

This time, the Yulin Guards that followed Yan Yan and Dian Qing included the Tunqi Battalion, which was composed of heavily armored cavalry, the Yueqi Battalion, which was good at charging, and the Huqi Battalion, which was mainly composed of scouts and light cavalry.

However, relying on these three battalions of 30,000 people, they pushed the battle line directly to the city of Wuwei.

Yang Duanhe even suspected that if they had arrived later, Yan Yan would have been able to attack Wuwei City with only these cavalry.

"So...you were sold, and you're still helping others count money?" Yang Duanhe sighed.

If it was just the three battalions of Yulin Cavalry, no matter how brave Yan Yan was, he would not dare to attack the city of Wuwei before the main force of the central army arrived.

It was Qiang Wei who handed over the Qiang Di people and the army of Hexi Road to Yan Yan to make up for the shortcomings of insufficient number of Yulin cavalry and their inability to attack strongholds.

But now Qiang Wei still acts as if it is a matter of course.

"I didn't want to either, but Bingjun was holding the eldest prince in his arms at that time, what could I do?" Qiang Wei also looked innocent.

Everyone in the world knows that Wuwei was a gift from Bingjun to the eldest prince, but he lost it.

Bing Jun came with the eldest son in his arms, what else could he do?
Not giving?

He is the eldest son. No matter how young he is, he is still the eldest son.

The corner of Yang Duanhe's mouth twitched. Yan Yan was really capable of doing such a thing as taking his son to force his father.

If Qiang Wei dared not to hand over the military power of Hexi Road, Yan Yan would dare to hold Fusu's hand and walk through the entire Jincheng military camp, and then...

Yang Duanhe couldn't imagine that kind of scene.

He even managed to trick the Chu prison and escaped unscathed with the help of the Chu jailer.

It was so easy to fool a group of Qiangdi. "Forget it, the result is good." Yang Duanhe sighed.

The die is cast, what can he do?
This time they will send so many top generals to help Bingzhou, not just to help Bingzhou and monitor the movements of Bingzhou’s army.

The most crucial point is to let these top generals evaluate the combat effectiveness of Bingzhou and prepare for the possible war between Qin and Bingzhou in the future.

However, after watching the training of the Zhonglei Camp, Shesheng Camp, Huben Camp and Infantry Camp, Yang Duanhe did not support Qin's war with Bingzhou.

Forget about the Zhonglei Camp, since it is a flag-guarding camp after all. They generally won't encounter them on the battlefield. The Huben Camp and the Infantry Camp are just so-so and cannot compare to the Iron Eagle Warriors of Qin.

The key is Shesheng Camp!

This is the existence that Yang Duanhe fears the most. There are only three thousand of them, but they are all grassland archers.

The arrows never miss their target, this is what the Shesheng Camp is all about.

Moreover, unlike ordinary sharpshooters, the Shooting Battalion is not composed of ten or five. They are divided into groups of three. One is the main shooter, who is responsible for killing the enemy commander; one is the deputy shooter, who is good at continuous shooting and can block those who approach, and create opportunities and supplementary shots for the main shooter; and the other is the observer, who is the brain of the group and is responsible for finding the enemy commander and ambush and retreat routes in the chaotic battlefield.

The most terrifying thing is that the Shesheng Camp is composed of small groups, with a main general who is responsible for finding opportunities to fight, and he is also the most terrifying archer.

The commander of the Shesheng Battalion has an extremely terrifying talent. He can find the enemy's position beyond visual range, and then command the Shesheng Battalion to move upon hearing the sound.

To put it simply, before you even see the Shesheng Camp, you may be bombarded by a rain of arrows from the Shesheng Camp.

Flat shooting requires vision and the ability to see people.

But they don't need that for projectiles. They can shoot arrows into the air, and then use the free fall of the arrows to go beyond the line of sight and the horizontal shooting distance of the bow and crossbow, causing effective casualties to the enemy.

Yang Duanhe tried many times to trick the Shesheng Camp into giving him the training methods, but was always evaded by the camp's commander with various excuses.

Especially one sentence from the other party made Yang Duanhe realize that they could not form a second Shesheng Battalion.

"This thing depends on talent and fate!"

This sentence immediately dispelled Yang Duanhe's idea.

Rely on fate?

God damn, it’s all about fate.

However, Yang Duanhe also knew that this was probably related to Yan Yan.

After all, Yan Yan himself is a sharpshooter, and those sharpshooters of the Five Elements School have all commented that Yan Yan's shooting skills are among the best among sharpshooters.

In particular, Yan Yan once served as the keeper of Tibetan history in South Korea and obtained the training methods of the Korean Crossbow Corps.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Shesheng Battalion has such combat power.

Yan Yan himself is a Confucian genius who is best at summarizing. He also got the sharpshooter training methods from Korea and the grassland. After summarizing, he deduced a new training method. It is not surprising.

Bingzhou would definitely attach great importance to this kind of thing and would never let outsiders know about it.

"Want the training methods of the Shesheng Camp?" Yan Yan took the initiative to find Yang Duanhe.

This is what the second commander, the commander of the Shesheng Camp, told him when the army came to report.

The second Cheng is also very interesting. His original surname was Diyi, and he was a fallen nobleman. He was also one of the first scholars who walked from Yanmen Pass to Beiye Royal City.

In the archery competition, he defeated all the officers in Bingzhou, but finally lost to Yan Yan, and then changed his surname to Di Er.

He said that one day, after his archery skills surpassed Yan Yan’s, he would be ranked first again.
