The change of concept is often more important than the application of an advanced technology.

The New Qin State under Li Yuan's rule not only brought vitality to the people of Qin State, but also conveyed a high-spirited spirit. As a generation of young people, Gan Yong felt the deepest and was the most accepting.

One person.

Just like just now, bravely speaking out one's ideas as a captain is unthinkable in the Qin army, which has a strict hierarchy and has as many as nineteen ranks of military titles.

Attack Li Qi.

This suggestion put forward by Gan Yong was regarded as a feasible plan and put into the discussion agenda, which made Gan Yong a little nervous and a little uneasy.

"Although Li Qi is weak, if he can't defend, it will not be easy for our army to annihilate 20,000 people in a short time. Moreover, the speed of attacking Li Qi and Chen Yu's rescue will be faster than that of Liu Bang." Chen Xi remained silent.

, this time he finally raised his concerns. He found the Qin army's way of discussing plans against the enemy before the battle very novel.

Among the Chu army, most of the time when fighting against the enemy, it was Xiang Yu who made the final decision. Occasionally, Fan Zeng proposed one or two strategic supplements. In other armies of the princes, it was usually the boss who spoke, and the others nodded in agreement.

Then the big guy stepped forward and started slashing.

The only one with a decent discussion atmosphere was Liu Bang's Han army. Because Liu Bang himself was very hands-off in military matters, generals such as Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, and Xia Houying, as well as counselors such as Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Li Shiqi, all held different opinions. Sometimes they would disagree.

A fierce dispute broke out. Chen Xi witnessed the more professional discussion among the generals of the Qin army and couldn't help but admire him secretly.

An excellent commander is not only about delegating power and allowing his generals to express their opinions, but more importantly, guiding the discussion reasonably when it reaches a critical point. In this regard, Li Yuan did a very good job.

"Everyone, once we attack Liu Bang, Chen Yu, and Li Qi, we will definitely send troops to rescue them to protect themselves. However, from Chen Yu's psychological point of view, the rescue time and intensity will not be too fast. After all, Liu Bang and Chen Yu

The relationship between them is just mutual utilization. If Liu Bangjun can consume a little more of our army's strength, that is what Chen Yu and the others want to see."

When Li Yuan said this, he paused and said: "So, we can completely attack Liu Bang with a powerful force, thereby creating the illusion that our army is going to swallow up Liu's department in one fell swoop, so as to attract Chen Yu and Li Qi's

As for the reinforcements, as soon as Li Qi's army is dispatched, our army can cut it in two with lightning speed, thus realizing our army's strategic intention of quick battle and victory."

Four years of fighting gave Li Yuan, in addition to status, honor, and women. The most important thing was the experience gained from battle after battle.

This kind of experience is not a golden finger falling from the sky, but Li Yuan's real reliance on personal understanding. The Qin army's bloody battles seemed easy and comfortable. The dangers involved also made people's blood rush.

"I order below: Chen Xi, Cao Xin, and Gan Yong's troops will follow this lord to attack Liu Bang's camp on the left flank of the Zhao army; Su Jiao's light cavalry will be responsible for spying on Chen Yu and Li Zuo's two armies. The heavy cavalry will ambush in Ju

Between Lu and Qingzhang River, there is an enemy coming for reinforcements. We must wipe them out." Li Yuan shouted with an order.

After synthesizing the opinions of the generals, Li Yuan finally made a decision to surround the point for reinforcements. This is also a classic tactic. Li Yuan used it once in the battle between the Qin Army and the Han Army in Nanyang County.

However, that time it was to encircle a point to block reinforcements, and the real focus was on Wancheng. But this time, the Qin army focused on reinforcements.

Of course, if Chen Yu and Li Qi refused to save them, Li Yuan would not care to take the opportunity to deal with Liu Bang, his old rival. To be honest, Li Yuan was tired of being harassed again and again by Liu Bang.

——.

The victory or defeat of a battle depends on a thought.

The main force of the Qin army was approaching day by day, and this oppressive and suffocating feeling made Liu Bang feel both familiar and frightened. The repeated rises and repeated failures brought Liu Bang deep despair and resentment.

Liu Bang had not had a good rest for several days in a row. Judging from the intelligence obtained by the scouts, Li Yuan's Qin army's attack direction was directed towards his side.

"Zifang, thief Li, you want to kill me." Liu Bang hated Li Yuan deeply in his heart and said to Zhang Liang, who also looked haggard.

"Pei Gong has more than 18,000 generals of the Zhao army under his command. The combat strength of this army is not only comparable to that of the Qin army, but also inferior to that of the Han army. The only thing that can be used now is morale. Zhao

There are many sadistic people in the land, and they have a hatred of Qin. If we can arouse the desire of revenge among the generals, maybe we still have a chance." Zhang Liang thought about it for a while, and finally gave a cautious advice.

Words.

Liu Bang's temper has been very bad recently. Although Zhang Liang is highly regarded, as the saying goes, it is you who came up with the idea, and it is you who bear the responsibility for the idea. Once Liu Bang gets angry, he will directly scold him regardless of the objective reason.

There is Zhang Liangshou.

"That's all, Zifang, you go to Julu City tomorrow. Once the Qin army attacks our army, immediately urge Chen Yu to send troops. If Chen Yu refuses, you go to Handan and tell my wife, just say

I, Liu Ji, broke my promise and asked her to run as far as she wanted with her son and never come back——!" Liu Bang murmured.

"Pei Gong——!" Zhang Liang couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this. Liu Bang's words were almost his last words. Even if he could escape ten times, it didn't mean that he would be able to do so next time.

"Okay, why are you crying? A real man can urinate standing up, lie down and rest, and don't think about anything after death. Ovary, after this farewell, I'm afraid I won't see you again. Don't miss me!" Liu Bang said on one side.

Smiling, while talking, his eyes were red and wet, with a little sparkle shining in them.

After Zhang Liang left, Liu Bang immediately ordered the entire army to regroup. He personally led an army, with Liu Jia and Han Wangxin on the left and right. The Zhao army used the camp as a barrier, prepared more arrows and obstacles, and faced the Qin army in a defensive posture.

arrival.

——.

boom!

A huge stone fell from the sky.

It hit the center of Liu Bang's military camp hard. After the stones came into close contact with the solid hard ground, they scattered in all directions. Small stones as big as bowls scattered in disorder, hitting more than ten unlucky soldiers.

The two most unfortunate ones among them were hit in the head, their brains burst immediately, and they fell to the ground unable to move.

"Hide quickly." Han Wangxin's face turned gloomy and he shouted urgently.

"General Han, the enemy's big guy who can throw stones is too fierce. There is no where to hide." A Zhao military captain with a torn armor wrapped around his head gave a helpless response.

"Hey, this battle is really unwinnable. Do you have any news from Pei Gong? When will King Zhao's reinforcements arrive?" Han Wangxin bent down and got into the low Chinese army tent built with wood, and asked impatiently

.

"There is no news yet. Pei Gong replied and asked us to hold on for another three days." A close lieutenant general reported weakly.

"Three days, ugh, I can't hold on for even one day. Three more days, let Liu Ji come here to stay for a whole day and try." Han Wangxin yelled with his lapel open, took off his helmet and threw it to the ground.

King Han kept talking freely. He had always been suspicious of going north to the Kingdom of Zhao. The reason why he did not fall out with Liu Bang was because of Zhang Liang's mediation. But this time, King Han Xin couldn't bear it anymore.

This time they fought against the Qin army.

Han Wangxin's troops were at the forefront. This is not to say that Liu Bang intended to embarrass Liu Bang, but that there were more than 1,600 veterans of the Han army in Han Wangxin's army. These soldiers had fought against the Qin army. From an experience point of view,

Much stronger than Zhao Jun.

At the same time, in order to increase the confidence of the former army, Liu Bang also transferred the only 500 crossbows in Zhao's army to Han Wangxin. According to Liu Bang's idea, although the morale of Han Wangxin's troops was not high and they could not fight in the field, they still had the ability to guard the fortress.

Sixty or seventy percent certainty.

Unfortunately, the changes in the battle situation left Liu Bang and Han Wangxin speechless.

On the first day when the Qin army stormed the camp, Li Yuan went against his cautious attitude and directly dispatched Cao Xin's Yuezhi soldiers. Compared with the weak force of only a thousand soldiers last time, this time the Yuezhi soldiers joined Qin's army.

The strength of the army is surprising. This is mainly due to the Yuezhi soldiers who accompanied Cao Xin to Nanyang County to fight. After returning to Longxi, they received generous rewards based on their military merit.

Stimulated by interests, the Yuezhi people finally put aside the scruples of the tribal clan. Cao Xin brought 3,000 small Yuezhi soldiers this time, including 500 broad and powerful throwing soldiers, and 1,000 small Yuezhi soldiers.

Two hundred infantry, seven hundred light cavalry, and six hundred strong men.

These specially selected Yuezhi soldiers were mainly responsible for operating seven rough wooden trebuchets made by Lishan soldiers. As Qin's national power grew stronger, the speed at which new weapons entered the battlefield was also accelerating.

The principle of this thick wooden tendon trebuchet is very simple, it is the law of leverage. In the Western medieval castle offensive and defensive battles, trebuchets were widely used. In China's cold weapon wars, trebuchets were used for the first time.

Going on the battlefield is still postponed to the era of Cao Yuan's war during the Three Kingdoms period.

With the technical capabilities of Qin Guobing, it is not difficult to make a trebuchet. The key lies in the understanding of the craftsman. After all, no one except Li Yuan has any impression of such a trebuchet. In

After Sima Yin devoted himself wholeheartedly to the military affairs, the military industry gradually began to develop rapidly.

The battlefield is the best place to test new weapons. The tense relationship between Qin and Zhao also excited the craftsmen of the military. For example, these seven trebuchets took only two short days from the idea to trial.

After several months, there was no difficulty with the wood. The only problem was the elastic rope for pulling. After many tests, it was finally confirmed that beef tendon was used as the main lifting auxiliary material.

Beef tendons have strong stretchability, which is impossible for ordinary ropes. This also allows the riprap truck to have a longer range on flat ground, which makes the riprap truck have a wider range of applications. (To be completed
