I Want To Be Qin II

"promise."

Xin Sheng looked solemn.

At this moment, when he heard Wang Jian's military order, he felt no excitement at all. On the contrary, he felt more heavy.

Ten thousand Iron Eagle warriors are enough to withstand 40,000 to 50,000 ordinary cavalry, but he needs to ensure the nearly 200,000 craftsmen and civilians traveling between Taiyuan County and Taoshui Transport Camp.

The most important thing is that craftsman camps, temporary granaries, etc., are crowded and confusing, and they are often the easiest to be taken advantage of by the enemy.

There were only ten thousand Iron Eagle warriors in his hands, and he felt somewhat helpless. However, Xin Sheng also knew that Wang Jian only had so many troops in his hands.

Unless mobilized from the south.

For a war of today's scale, an army of 500,000 to 600,000 people will be mobilized, and the number of craftsmen and civilians among them will also reach the number of the army.

This means that in order to destroy Zhao State, Da Qin mobilized nearly 500,000 troops, nearly 600,000 craftsmen, and a total population of about 1.2 million.

Glancing at the stunned Xin Sheng, Wang Jian's tone became cold, with a faint hint of murderous intent: "Tell me, is this okay with you?"

Hearing this, Xin Sheng was agitated, came to his senses, and hurriedly turned to Wang Jian and said: "General, I will ensure that the transportation camp is safe and sound, and that the craftsmen and the people are safe."

"Um."

Nodding, Wang Jian pulled out the Suppressing Qin Sword and said to the generals: "Since you have all made clear your general orders, go down and prepare."

"promise."

With a nod of agreement, the generals left. Wang Jian stood in front of the map and meditated. Sand table deductions had been conducted countless times in the shogunate.

Wang Jian knew better than anyone else that it was easiest for Ying Gao's troops to achieve victory, but wars here were often the most difficult.

Not only was Li Mu in trouble, but also because of the important geographical location of Jingxing Pass.

Also because he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he is bound to face Zhao's most elite army and Zhao's most powerful generals.

At this moment, he was ready for a protracted war.

Wang Jian knew very well that such a war was unavoidable, unless it was a surprise attack or a decisive battle in the wilderness.

But he believed that Li Mu would not give up a place like Jingxing Pass that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although Zhao Jun's cavalry was strong, Da Qin also had iron eagle warriors and ten thousand victorious troops.

In the wilderness, a huge army duel is launched. Such a situation is difficult to occur in a war, unless the generals of both sides are absolutely confident and issue a letter of war to show off.

With Wang Jian's character, he couldn't do it, but Prince Ying Gao might do it.

…

Jingxingguan.

Li Mu camp.

Both sides set up camp in the Jingxingguan area, with scouts running around and spies running rampant. There were not many secrets between the two sides.

"Mr. Wu'an, the scouts have reported that the Qin army is stationed in Mianmanshui and Taoshui areas."

Sima of the Chinese army raised his hand towards Li Mu and said in a deep voice: "We are still trying to find out the specific information. It's just that the Qin army's scouts are hunting. It's difficult for our army's scouts to get close enough to get the most authentic information."

"The general knows."

Looking away at the Army Sima, Li Mu thought for a long time, and then said to the Central Army Sima: "Send scouts south to meet Pang Yuan and Lian Po. It is difficult to determine the outcome of this war in a short time."

"Whether it is in the direction of Wu'an or Handan, it must be defended for at least half a year, or even a year or several years."

"Let them be mentally prepared, otherwise, if one party fails, the entire situation will be shaken."

"promise."

Nodding in agreement, Sima of the Central Army turned and left. Li Mu withdrew his gaze and looked at the map near Jingxing Pass.

Wang Jian had already set up camp, and he was afraid that the attack was not far away. At this moment, Li Mu's heart was surging, and he felt the long-lost passion.

Just like when he first entered the army, he fought on the blood of his enemies and comrades.

"Wang Jian, I am in a very complicated mood right now. I hope you will gain a false reputation, but I also hope you will have real talent and learning."

…

Compared to Wang Jian, Li Mu is undoubtedly more confident, or in other words, Li Mu is better at attacking now.

His eyes moved on the map. Li Mu paused from time to time with the pole in his hand, then continued to move. He had many thoughts in his mind.

Judging from the surviving military techniques, or his experience in marching and forming formations, when attacking in mountainous areas, the army's camps must not be placed end to end.

Li Mu believes that Wang Jian understands this truth. He is familiar with Jingxing Pass and naturally knows that the terrain here cannot accommodate the deployment of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Another point is that each army must leave a certain blank area so that the armies can change their formations or advance and retreat freely.

Li Mu knew very well that once the armies gathered together, not only would they not be able to exert their combined combat power, they would even become crowded and constrained.

Li Mu believed that Wang Jian would never make such a low-level mistake.

With this thought, Li Mu drew circles one after another on the map. He put himself in Wang Jian's situation to think about Wang Jian's arrangements.

The first point is Jingxing Pass.

The second point is cotton man water.

The third one is peach water.

At this moment, Wang Jian's basic deployment was consistent with Li Mu. This was a famous general in the world, and his abilities had been tested in countless wars.

Especially during the Warring States Period, countless wars broke out in the Central Plains, especially the nearest Changping War, which often involved hundreds of thousands of troops.

After advancing the war again and again, the level of the war has already reached the peak of the cold weapon war, and the Qin and Zhao armies have experienced countless baptisms of war, and have long been accustomed to, or are familiar with, the changes in military formations.

Especially siege warfare or mountain warfare, both Qin and Zhao are extremely familiar with it, and are even very good at it.

Especially in the coordinated operations of cavalry, infantry, crossbowmen, spearmen, catapult battalions and various large-scale equipment, as well as the transportation and support of grain, grass and baggage, they have already become adept at integrating them.

At this time, all it takes is an order from the general, and the various armies don't even need to run in. They will start to operate effectively like a large machine immediately.

This is the instinct brought about by experiencing the baptism of countless wars.

This time the Qin army came from afar, and he was sitting in Zhao, waiting for work. In a sense, he had an advantage.

For a war, home field advantage is extremely important, because he hardly needs to worry about food, grass and baggage.

There is no need to worry about the damage to national and people's strength caused by traveling long distances.

"Since you are deployed in this area, I think you should be able to guess my deployment!"

Li Mu never underestimated anyone, especially a steady man like Wang Jian. He was able to analyze Wang Jian's general military deployment from the terrain of Jingxing Pass and the news from the scouts.

He believed that Wang Jian could do this, and he believed that the Qin army's scouts and Da Qin's Black Ice Platform had penetrated Zhao's territory very deeply.
