The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 210 Young Master Yingji
Qin State, Lantian Camp.

A young general wearing black armor hurriedly walked into the camp and saw Meng Ao sitting in front of the case reading the military book.

The young general stepped forward and said excitedly: "General, according to the report from Ma Lai, the big Han bandits captured the city of Da in Ba, and the king of Ba sent the general Zhang Ping to lead an army of [-] to attack Dacheng."

This young general is named Ying Ji, also known as Chi Li Ji, the half brother of King Qin Ying Si, who just turned eighteen this year, and came to train under Meng Ao's command.

Although the military rank is not high, but the status is there, so no one stopped him from rushing to the coach's camp.

Meng Ao looked at the book of war calmly, and said in a deep voice: "Ying Ji, notice that this is the army, if you barge in without notification, do you know that you violated the military law?"

Ying Ji choked, knowing that he was in the army, even though he was a son, he could not violate the military law.

Only handcuffing in fear, "I will be convicted at the end."

Meng Ao's expression softened a little, and he continued what Ying Ji said just now and said: "I already know this, why are you excited about the war in Pakistan?"

Ying Ji hurriedly said: "My Great Qin has been mobilizing troops, isn't it just to take down the Bashu granary? This time, Baguo poured all its strength into attacking Dacheng. After taking Dacheng, the national power is still empty. We can take this opportunity to capture Pakistan."

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, the traitor has a grudge with the uncle. After being wiped out by the Ba Kingdom, there may still be some remnants of power. We will wipe them out by the way."

From Ying Ji's point of view, this is simply a good strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

Meng Ao shook his head, "But our country of Qin is not well prepared. We just finished a battle in Yixiang, South Korea, and we need to recuperate. If we rush to attack Ba, we may cause Wei, Chu, Zhao and other countries to besiege us. The gains outweigh the losses. .”

Ying Ji frowned, clenched his fists and said angrily, "Could it be that such a great opportunity has been missed?"

Meng Ao put down his military book, stood up and walked to Ying Ji, patting him on the shoulder, "The war among the countries is not as simple as you think. We want to annex the country of Pakistan, and the countries will unite to attack us out of fear and contain each other. , No one can be dominant, only if we work hard to train a strong army, we will not be afraid of the alliance of other countries, which takes time."

Although Ying Ji hadn't been advising on military affairs for a long time, he could understand what Meng Ao meant.

Nodding his head, he said reluctantly, "It's such a pity that it's a good opportunity."

Meng Ao chuckled, "First of all, Ba Kingdom may not be able to take down Dacheng. Even if it does, Ba Kingdom's national strength is weak. Don't Shu and Chu have any ideas? Once they move, we will move too, but we can't do it first." How to do all of this will need to be decided by the King.”

"Ba's [-] troops have regained their own city, and they will definitely be able to take it down."

Ying Ji nodded, but he didn't agree with Meng Ao's statement that Ba Kingdom could not take down Dacheng.

"I'm afraid you underestimate the big city of Seoul."

Meng Ao showed a mysterious smile and looked outside the tent, not knowing what he was thinking of.

After arriving outside the city, Zhang Ping stopped on a high slope on his horse, and his deputy Zhang Yuze also rode behind him.

Looking at the defense situation of Dacheng, there is nothing special about it, and said in a deep voice, "Let the soldiers rest overnight, and attack the city tomorrow!"

Zhang Yuze looked distressed, and after thinking about it, he still cupped his hands and said, "General, the [-] soldiers we trained can still persist in marching for several days, but those young and strong soldiers can't slow down. Now the army has resentment, and I'm afraid we will let them attack the city." ..."

Zhang Ping frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Tomorrow will attack the city, if you don't listen to orders, and retreat, you will be beheaded!"

Generals who can reach this level are all familiar with military books.

Knowing that the army must be strictly controlled, otherwise the military orders cannot be issued upwards, so there is no need to fight, go back to wash and sleep.

Many young men have not undergone systematic training, but there are no soldiers who train every day in this era.

Soldiers during the war, farmers after the war.

They can also be called militias, as long as the generals use them properly, these militias can also play a great role.

"Here."

Zhang Yuze nodded with difficulty, turned the horse's head with one hand, and went down to convey the order.

"I want to see if Xiong Hui's defensive ability has improved."

Zhang Ping thought it was Dacheng guarded by Xiong Hui, but he didn't know that Xiong Hui still had half his life left.

Left in the stables, unattended.

hum, hum.

Xiong Hui, who had lost both arms, was lying on the haystack of the stable, making a buzzing sound.

Now he would rather die than live.

Until now, I still don't understand why I was defeated so thoroughly, that I didn't even have room to resist.

Xiong Hui's arms had begun to rot, with red and black pustules and wriggling worms.

The fact that he didn't die proved that his vitality was very tenacious.

People passing by were scared and hurried away, not daring to look here, it was too scary.

Xiong Hui struggled to wriggle his body. Without his arms, he could only use the strength of his legs, but he was still not very obedient.

With a roll, he rolled over behind a tall horse.

hiss.

A brown horse blew white air, slammed its hind hooves, and stomped hard on Xiong Hui's head.

The strength of this hoof is enough to kill.

With a puff, Xiong Hui's expression froze instantly under the violent impact, his eyes widened, with an expression of regret.

Xiong Hui is also a high-ranking general in the Pakistani Army, the defender of Dacheng.

Just like that, he died humiliatingly in the stable, and was trampled to death by the horse's hoof.

What a pity.

It was already afternoon when they were discovered, and outside the Ba army besieged the city, no one paid attention to Xiong Hui's life or death.

A few spies from the Intelligence Bureau simply rolled up a mat and prepared to dig a hole for burial.

After Zhang Lin found out, he went to see Xiong Hui for the last time with a very heavy heart.

A simple mound without a tombstone, this is Xiong Hui's last shelter.

"General, you shouldn't choose to betray."

Zhang Lin looked at the mound without any regrets in his eyes, and continued: "During this period of time, I have seen the strict prohibition of the Han army's rule of the army, and I have also visited the Han city. Like the paradise I imagined, I already have a wife and children, and I don’t want them to live that kind of homeless life.”

"And most of the brothers think the same way. I'm sorry General, thank you for taking care of me over the years. I'll kowtow to you here as a repayment for your kindness."

After speaking, Zhang Lin knelt down and kowtowed three times to the mound.

Then he stood up and said: "I will lead my brothers to defend the city and never let Dacheng miss again." He glanced at the mound and said, "If I can survive, I will find a good place and set up a tombstone for you. "

After speaking, he turned and left without looking back, with a very determined expression.

This is a war of grossly unequal numbers.

10 people against 700 people.

Shen Peng is very confident in this war.

"Bai Qi, you are in charge of guarding the south gate, and I am in charge of the east gate, you must guard it, you know?"

Shen Peng was dressed in black armor. He was no longer the youthful Shen Peng a few years ago. With a mustache on his lips, he looked more mature.

In fact, it's not that big, I deliberately pretended to be mature.

Bai Qi was also dressed in black armor, cupped his hands and said: "The final general will definitely fulfill his mission."

After speaking, he turned around and rushed to the south gate. In fact, the tools that can be used for defense have already been prepared, such as logs, arrows, tung oil, stones, anyway, as many as you can.

At the same time, all defenders are also issued 'Mohist Bows and Crossbows', which is a very easy-to-handle sharp weapon.

Strong penetrating power and easy operation.

Although using a longbow is more powerful for some strongmen, how much effort does it take to draw the bow each time?

How many times does it take to draw the bow in a battle?

So overall, the 'Mokist crossbow' is more effective.

In fact, there is no need to worry about such sharp weapons falling into the hands of the enemy, because the "Mohist crossbow" needs regular maintenance, otherwise the power will be greatly reduced, and after damage, it must be repaired at the blacksmith's shop to replace parts.

In addition, the arrows are also specially made to match the crossbow.

Even if it falls into the hands of the enemy, its use time is limited and it will soon become useless.

These shortcomings are not impossible to solve, Su Lin thinks it is better to keep some shortcomings.

These things are exclusively manufactured, even if the enemy wants to copy them, the technical level may still need to be developed for a long time.
