I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 45
Prisoners at the foot of Mount Li.

Perhaps it should be called the Lishan Army now.

Looking at the densely packed Lishan soldiers, the competition kicked off, and as the competition progressed, the 20 Lishan Army was divided into small competition fields one after another.

And all of this is going on in an orderly manner according to Li Yu's ideas.

These people who have been selected through layers of selection are not bad in their own strength, and they can convince the crowd.

Then slowly refine it, adding some counselors as political commissars, just like Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han, the military adviser is the most important.

Li Yu couldn't help thinking more and more excited, lest he have to make an Italian cannon later...

And as the selection gradually deepened, Meng Yi Zhang Han also saw the difference, and his expression changed.

And Meng Yi, as the first emperor Yingzheng's minister of intrigue, and his elder brother Meng Tian is the leader of the Great Wall Legion, naturally has a clearer understanding of the army, and asked: "It's a novel idea for the Lord to organize the Lishan Army in this way, but how about I'm afraid that this will complicate the way the army communicates..."

Meng Yi usually speaks very little, but Li Yu was surprised by this sharp insight, and then explained: "Meng Shangqing knows about the battle between Qin, Wei, Yin and Jin a hundred years ago."

Meng Yi's expression changed drastically, but he didn't know why Li Yu suddenly mentioned that unbearable battle, but since Li Yu brought it up, he must be trying to explain something, so he said: "Your Majesty wants to talk about the Wei who Wu Qi trained. Warrior?"

Li Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "It's Wei Wuzu."

Hearing that he was really a soldier of Wei, Meng Yi and Zhang Han looked a little unnatural. If it hadn't been for the unstoppable bravery of Lord Wu'an Bai Qi, who defeated the Wei and Han coalition forces, it would be difficult to say whether there would be a unified Qin Empire this time.

Warriors like Lang Qi didn't appear again, and quite a few of them took forty or fifty moves, which was enough to serve as a general and official.

Seeing that it was getting late, Meng Yi looked at Li Yu with unsatisfactory intent, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the sky is getting darker, and the general direction of the Lishan Army has already been outlined, and we have to plan carefully in the future, such as military divisions. , equipment and so on."

correct!
military branch!
Meng Yi deserves to be Meng Yi, and he put the key point to the point. No matter how you say it, the Lishan Army is just a group of criminals. In history, the rebel army that can win against Qin has a high probability because of the excellent equipment in the Qin Dynasty's arsenal. Manufacturing weapons, most of these rebels are hoes and sticks.

Therefore, even if these soldiers transformed from prisoners use the next month to train, they may not be effective.

And the foot of Lishan Mountain is basically excavation construction and power-type transportation.

What these Lishan Army are best at is definitely civil engineering projects such as digging tunnels.

Since there are many craftsmen and experts in this field among these prisoners, Li Yu suddenly had a bold idea, and said immediately: "Meng Shangqing is indeed His Majesty's arm, and these words hit the vital point, which made Ben Hou think Got an idea."

Meng Yi has followed Ying Zheng for a long time, especially when he was talking with Li Yu, he was basically there. As long as he hears Li Yu's opinions and ideas, it will definitely be shocking.

Sure enough, Li Yu smiled and said: "This group of Lishan Army is best at digging techniques, and craftsmen in this field must be indispensable for the construction of the imperial mausoleum for His Majesty. This Marquis wants to use this group of people to study and build an engineering army." .”

Engineering Army?
Meng Yi's expression changed, and he asked, "What is an engineer soldier? Is there a general reference?"

Li Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Engineering, as the name suggests, is a type of arms that mainly manufactures excavations and constructions. This type of arms is different from those that directly fight the enemy, and needs to be supplemented by some special equipment to fight."

Zhang Han led the army for the first time, but he himself is also proficient in the art of war. Hearing Li Yu's explanation, he understood a little: "The king means that this kind of soldiers don't have to fight the enemy head-on, do they control the battle like imperial chariot soldiers?" car to fight?"

The two people in front of them are worthy of being celebrities who have shined in history, and they really got it right. Li Yu was quite pleased and said: "Exactly, Mr. Feng, the supervisor of the Shaofu, developed the city defense continuous crossbow, and now he should have developed a mobile continuous crossbow." The ballista needs a technician to control it."

Meng Yi and the two were shocked, the city defense Liannu had already been installed, and Ying Zheng went to watch it.

It is indeed an earth-shattering killer. Within 500 meters, the giant copper car used for testing was directly shot into parts by sharp arrows.

Now I heard Li Yu say that the ballista was not the traditional bulky ballista, so he blurted out and asked: "I don't know how many people the lord said the ballista needs to be controlled, and how powerful it is."

Li Yu couldn't help waving his hands and laughing: "It should be a little less powerful than the city defense crossbow, but..."

Li Yu made a fool of himself on purpose, causing Meng Yi to ask anxiously: "But what?"

"However, this repeating crossbow can fire 99 three-foot-long giant arrows at the same time."

99 pieces...

As soon as Li Yu said this, Meng Yi's expression changed suddenly. The ballista in the empire's arsenal could only fire one ten-foot-long giant arrow at a time, and it was inconvenient to move. It would take a long time to replace the arrows. It is used to break through the city walls and gates, but it is useless against the enemy.

But Li Yu's Liannu is different, 99 arrows are fired at the same time...

In this way, the suppression of firepower was completed with the least amount of troops. Meng Yi was pleasantly surprised, and immediately sighed: "There is such a magic weapon in the world?"

Li Yu smiled and just nodded lightly, while Zhang Han was fascinated. What does Xian Junhou mean to use this kind of killer weapon on the Lishan Army?

Zhang Han couldn't help showing joy and said, "Your Majesty, are you using soldiers from the Lishan Army who used to be craftsmen and transporters to control this new type of ballista?"

Li Yu then smiled and said: "Exactly, apart from the skill of manipulating ballistas, this Marquis also needs to make use of the digging ability of these special talents."

Zhang Han and the others didn't understand why it was necessary to tap the ability to kill the enemy in this battlefield, and they looked at Li Yu with some doubts, hoping to get some answers.

With such an era background, cold weapon warfare is more about frontal fighting and siege warfare. If this mining ability is used well, it will naturally be large or small, and it can be a surprise soldier.

Li Yu did not answer Meng Yi and the two directly, but pointed to the craftsmen at the foot of Lishan Mountain who were holding digging tools and said: "If this kind of talent is well trained, it will be of great benefit in the future war."

Seeing that Li Yu didn't explain, Zhang Han and the two couldn't continue to ask, so they said: "I don't know where the 20 prisoners should go to build the camp."

The 20 Lishan Army is about to go to Lingnan, but it is indeed a difficult problem not to let the Lingnan Army know in advance.

Li Yu thought for a moment, and then he said: "Now the outline of the army organization has begun to appear, and it would be best to wait for His Majesty to distribute the armaments to train the army. It would be great if the 20 troops could hide at the foot of Lishan Mountain. Counties near Lingnan."

Zhang Han and Zhang Han heard about Li Yu's arrangement, they thought for a while, then nodded together, they were speechless at the moment.
