Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 375
In a sense, Ying Qing was luckier than Fu Su.

After all, the former is escorted by his own father, while the latter has to rely on his own efforts to win his father's approval.

The 40 troops were all pulled by Ying Yuan to the north of Yinshan Mountain, where he wanted to have his first confrontation with the foreign army.

The result of this war will directly affect whether all military plans deployed by Ying Yuan will be changed, which is of great significance.

But when the two armies confronted each other, Ying Yuan, commander of the Qin Army, brought Li Xin and Ying Qing to Gaoque.

This is the closest border of the Qin State to the alien area.

"My lord, your initial idea was to march from Gaoque. For some reason, you suddenly changed your mind and wanted to focus on the north of Yinshan Mountain?"

Li Xin followed behind Ying Yuan, and they stopped by the Beihe River, admiring the endless scenery in front of them.

Over the endless grassland, a few goshawks sometimes pass by.

Due to the imminent war, people from both sides dare not come here to herd sheep.

Basically, there are no traces of common people in this area, including the Yinshan area.

"When Gu was in Xianyang, he said that he would march from Gaoque. Now that such a long time has passed, there is no guarantee that the news will not be leaked. Since the army led by Chi Dan has been hoarded in the north of Yinshan Mountain, of course Gu Let's meet for a while and see how he has improved over the years."

Ying Yuan and him are old acquaintances.

Since the end of the Rong Clan War, he and Chi Dan had fought secretly many times. Although they were all espionage battles, it was enough to see that the two had dealt with each other a lot.

It was precisely because of this that Chi Dan fought against him with anxiety in his heart, otherwise, Chi Dan would not be so timid if it were someone else.

"My lord, you are far-sighted. It's just that it's too dangerous for us to come here rashly. My lord, let's go back earlier."

Li Xin has his own worries.

They came here with only a hundred soldiers. If they encountered any danger, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ying Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, that Chi Dan never dreamed that he would come here alone."

During the conversation between the two, Ying Qing kept silent.

He was guessing that his father and king came here suddenly, he must have come to inspect the terrain, in order to be able to go out better in the future.

It's just that it's more risky to do so.

In fact, hesitating Ying Yuan's surprise, when Chi Dan knew that he came to the Gaoque area, it was already an afterthought. The former had already left there and returned to the Yinshan camp.

At the same time, Chi Dan also pulled all the troops to the opposite side of the Qin army, intending to cast the first line of defense on the border to stop Ying Yuan's attack.

two months later.

The weather is getting colder and the New Year is approaching.

Ying Yuan still did not launch an offensive, but there was friction between the armies of the two countries from time to time.

However, both sides seem to be trying their best to restrain themselves and prevent the war from happening in advance.

Once, Fusu couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Uncle, our army's morale is high, why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

Ying Yuan didn't answer his question, but Li Tong, who returned triumphantly from the quicksand area, responded with a bow: "Young master, you don't know, if our army chooses to fight with the enemy at this time, it will not be good for the physique of our Great Qin generals." , the border is freezing, and our soldiers have come from far away, so they are not familiar with the climate here, and it is not easy to march rashly in the absence of supplies."

When he said this, Fusu was thoughtful just now, and he didn't care about the military anymore.

In this world, no one would dare to supervise Ying Yuan's army.

The weather in the north is unpredictable, it is still sunny in the morning, but in the evening, it snows heavily.

Fortunately, Qin Jun has actively prepared enough items for the winter.

Three days later, heavy snow had completely covered the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it was all white.

The whole land seems to be covered in silver, and when you step on it, the thick snow can directly bury your bare feet, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

However, it was at this time that Ying Yuan thought of mobilizing troops.

In the military tent, all the generals gathered together and expressed their puzzlement.

Using troops at this time is tantamount to suicide.

Wars throughout the ages have basically been prepared after the new year, and now they are going to attack the alien race. I am afraid that they will be frostbitten to death by the heavy snow before fighting the alien race.

"I know what you mean. It's really not the right time to go on an expedition right now, but have you ever thought about it? We have exhausted the power of the whole country and prepared for nearly a few months before we managed to collect supplies for the 40 troops to spend the winter.

Even if we are like this, how can people from other races be any better?Where did they gather all the supplies for the winter? "

Ying Yuan faced the crowd and spoke slowly.

Meng Tian frowned slightly and said: "But we have never had a precedent of sending troops in snowy weather, isn't this a bit too risky?"

"If you fight in the future, you have to see if there are any precedents to observe. Wouldn't it be very easy for the enemy to take advantage of the loopholes?"

Ying Yuan questioned.

The so-called soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, but all wars are never static.

Only by attacking the unprepared and unexpected can we win a big victory.

Of course, all the soldiers here are experienced figures, who doesn't know these simple truths?
But knowing and practicing are definitely two different things.

They bear heavy responsibilities. It is the first foreign war after the unification of the world. It is of great significance and cannot be lost. Everything should be prudent. If they really lose or suffer heavy losses, it will directly affect the fate of the country.

How could Ying Yuan not know this?
But then again, he leads troops to fight, is it suitable to follow the rules?

Only by making a strange move can the war with the alien race be ended in the fastest time.

"My lord, if you send troops, how many troops do you think you will need at least?"

Li Xin asked.

Among all the people present, apart from Meng Tian and Li Tong, Li Xin had the best personal relationship with Ying Yuan.

When they were in Mincheng, some remarks between the two showed that their relationship was extraordinary.

"20, don't need cavalry, fighting in snowy weather is not good for cavalry, [-] spearmen, [-] crossbowmen, [-] shield soldiers, what do you think?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the tent was whispering and discussing.

Dispatching 20 people at one time is no less than a decisive battle.

Such an approach is really too risky.

Even Li Tong, who wanted to support Ying Yuan, had to fall into deep thought, thinking about the pros and cons.

However, amidst the voices of questioning from the crowd, Ying Yuan made a final decision: "All of you have followed Gu Nan to conquer the North War. Don't tell me you can't even forget the rules now? When do you need to question the things that Gu Nan decides? gone?"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Meng Tian gritted his teeth and took the lead in expressing his position, "That's right, since the prince has made a decision, why bother to discuss it with me? I will support the prince's plan, and if there is a mistake, I will take responsibility together with the prince. "

Previously, during the period of domination of the world, Ying Yuan led the army to go out, and he always did his own thing and did not allow others to question it.

It's just that after dominating the world, he has hardly ever led troops in battle, and recently, he has been talking to everyone with a kind face, so many people have forgotten that the champion's dignity cannot be challenged.

Fortunately, Meng Tian's words made them wake up in time as if they were enlightened.
