The Villain System of Mingyue in Qin Dynasty.

If there is a snowstorm in the north, no matter whether it is the Xiongnu or the Great Qin, basically most of the production activities will not be able to continue.

Long before the arrival of this winter, the Yunzhong County Mansion organized a lot of county residents to go up the mountain to cut firewood, and also transported a large amount of charcoal from several newly opened charcoal fields around them, and distributed them to every household in the city.

Qianshou hid at home, the richer lit a charcoal fire, and the family sat together.In the central stove, medicinal herbs collected from the mountains were boiled, and there was hot smoke, and a crowd chatted around the stove to keep warm.The poorer ones wrapped themselves in cotton clothes early, lay down on their kangs, covered with mattresses, and slept all day.

There was a neighing sound, and the rumbling sound of carriages passing through the street sounded.

Two trucks galloped on the sparsely populated street, and the flag with cloud patterns on the carriage showed its identity as a military vehicle.

The carriage was covered with a thick rainproof tarpaulin, so tightly packed that it was impossible to see what was inside it?

The two carriages passed through the east street, all the way west, and arrived at the city gate in front of Yunzhongwaifu. The Tiance Army soldiers guarding the gate checked the identities of the soldiers transporting the carriage and let them in.

The carriage stopped in front of the arsenal next to the west wall of the mansion, the arsenal guard called the arsenal prime minister, and had a conversation with the officer escorting the vehicle, several arsenal guards lifted the tarpaulin that was covered.

On the truck, there are rows of bright long spears, ring-shouted knives and bundles of three-rowed arrowheads loaded to the brim.

Wu Kucheng counted the supplies on these vehicles, and after confirming that they were correct, he quickly asked the guards to carry them in.

The strength of the Qin army lies not only in its well-trained and brave soldiers, but also in its strong logistics system and unified military industry standards.

From south to north, all bows, knives, swords, spears, crossbows, arrows and other armaments have almost no difference in weight, length, and sharpness.Unification, which not only speeds up the manufacturing of armaments, but also makes the combat training of soldiers more standardized.There will not be a situation where, for example, the crossbow bolts made by Yanmen cannot be used when they are in the cloud.

In large-scale military operations, discipline and norms are often more important than individual bravery.

The carriage transporting the armaments left slowly, and a young general in black armor walked over.

That Wu Kucheng saw the person coming from a distance, and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"General Han Xin!"

Han Xin nodded and walked in front, Wu Kucheng followed behind him.

"How's it going?"

Inside and outside the arsenal, there are guards carrying armaments.Han Xin got out of the way, watched the soldiers coming and going, and asked.

"Reporting to General, the last batch of crossbow arrows, long spears and ring head knives have arrived. The officials have counted the supplies, and the quantity is accurate." Wu Kucheng replied.

Han Xin walked through each storeroom in the arsenal, inspected it himself, and then left.

The soldiers and horses in the cloud are all recruited and trained by Han Xin himself.This arsenal was a centurion under Han Xin's command in the past.

Although Han Xin's age is young, but his military training is quite methodical.

The land in the clouds is narrow, and the population is quite sparse.Over the years, Ying Ziyi has successively moved the [-] Yulin Army under his jurisdiction to Yunzhong, Yanmen, Taiyuan, Shangdang and other places to station.

In Yunzhong, there are about [-] troops stationed, plus the local county soldiers, the number of defenders in Yunzhong is about [-].

As the old forces of the Zhao State were wiped out, these places were gradually controlled by Ying Ziyi.After garrisoning troops, garrisoning fields, reclaiming wasteland, and building camps and fortifications, Zhao's land gradually calmed down.

Han Xin left the arsenal and went to Tiance Mansion.

The huge copper stove is floating with curling cigarettes, and the outside and inside of the house seem to be two worlds.Across a wall, it's like the difference between spring and winter.

A huge map was placed on the table case. Ying Ziyi was wearing a thick jade-colored brocade robe with black trim, standing with hands behind his back. Standing in front of the table case were Zhang Liang and Chen Ping on both sides.

"His Royal Highness." Han Xin bowed and said, "The last batch of military equipment has been delivered to the mansion."

"En!" Ying Ziyi nodded, pointed to a pass on the map, and said, "It's snowing all over the sky, and the news from the Huns may not be delivered for a while. However, according to the previous information, once the Huns' army If they break through the defense line of the Great Wall, they will come straight to Yunzhong, and after besieging Yunzhong City, they will lure Meng Tian to lead his army to rescue them. This battle must focus on destroying the Xiongnu's army."

"His Royal Highness means to use the cloud as bait to fish the Xiongnu's army to Jiuyuan." Zhang Liang quickly understood Ying Ziyi's meaning and said.

"That's right." Zhang Liang, who left the Little Sage's Village, lost the politeness of a Confucian scholar, and as a counselor, there was a bit of Ling Han's austerity in his elegant demeanor.

"Once Mengtian's battle progresses smoothly, then this will be a rare victory in the history of imperial warfare. Only then can the subsequent county administration of Jiuyuan in the Northland be carried out safely. The Western Regions, Wuche City, Jiuyuan and even Zhaodi, will be can really connect together.”

After Ying Ziyi finished speaking, Zhang Liang had a trace of worry on his face, and said, "Meng Tian is the general of the empire, so there is no need to worry about the war over there. Your Royal Highness, Yunzhong is rather troublesome."

There were only [-] defenders in Yunzhong, and they were scattered in more than ten counties including Yuanyang, Beiyu, Wuquan, Xianyang, and Yunzhong.Most of the garrisons in Yanmen County, Dai County and other places are infantry.It will take time for them to rush over.

Once the Xiongnu in the cloud know that something happened in Jiuyuan, their feigned attack will become a real attack.If the Xiongnu began to retaliate at any cost, then Yunzhongcheng would become the most dangerous place.

"Although the Xiongnu are mostly war cavalry, they are not good at attacking cities. But once the blood fights, we will suffer heavy losses here."

Chen Ping also has the same worry.

Ying Ziyi didn't feel like he was lost in thought when he heard the words of his two advisers. "I'm not worried about the safety of Yunzhong City, but if the Xiongnu fail to attack the city, I'm afraid they will loot the place."

This is also what Ying Ziyi is most worried about. After four years of farming, after the Huns, he is afraid that he will return to before liberation.After a long time, he looked at Han Xin and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Currently, most of the imperial cavalry are concentrated under Meng Tian's command, and the rest are in Zhaowu City and Guanzhong. In the land of clouds, there are only three thousand knights from the Ghost Prison. We don't have enough mobile power, so we can only defend .” Han Xin said.

In Han Xin's view, this is also the most insufficient part of this strategy.To lure the enemy to go deep, his own strength is only enough to defend.Once there is a change, it is difficult to be comprehensive.

"If it's a cavalry army, there are eight thousand cavalry troops stationed in Taiyuan." Ying Ziyi said with a smile.

"What?" Everyone was surprised. When did Taiyuan have an extra [-] cavalry?They are in Tiance Mansion. Although this institution is not conspicuous, it is actually in charge of the military and government affairs of Shangdang, Taiyuan, Dai, and Yunzhong counties.What's more, the [-] cavalry army is almost half the strength of the garrison army in Taiyuan County.Suddenly there were so many cavalry troops in Taiyuan, why didn't they know anything about it?

"Although there is no Taiyuan County now, eight thousand cavalry troops can appear at any time." Ying Ziyi smiled. "As early as three years ago, the king had already ordered people from Beidi, Longxi and other counties to transfer the war horses to the horse farms near Taiyuan in batches. Now there are almost [-] war horses available in Taiyuan."

Everyone looked at it, but they didn't understand what Ying Ziyi meant.The so-called cavalry is not just about horses.

Cavalry without long-term training is no different from infantry on horseback.

Knowing everyone's doubts, Ying Ziyi went on to say: "Over the years, this king has transferred a large number of generals from Zhaowu City, Wuche City and other places to Taiyuan. Although they all accepted positions in the army, but In fact, they are cavalry generals. According to the king's order, they also conduct cavalry training for their soldiers."

"I understand." Zhang Liang nodded, "In this way, with the foundation of those cavalry generals who have been guarding the Western Regions for a long time, as long as they can stand the test on the battlefield, there will inevitably be another elite army in the empire." Cavalry."
