General Qin.

Chapter 39 Barracks
Zhongshan, the camp of the Qin Army.

"General, now that reinforcements have arrived, it is time for our army to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

Li Xin stood in the tent, his voice was like a fire, burning blazingly in this cold land of Yanzhao.

"Cough cough."

Sitting at the top, Wang Jian covered his mouth and coughed twice, picked up the silk beside him and wiped his nose.

He has suffered from a bit of wind and cold for the past two days, even if someone lights a campfire in the tent, he can still feel the slightest bit of cold air penetrating into his body.

The snow is not cold, the melting snow is cold.

Winter is coming to an end, and the weather is colder than usual, which is really unbearable.

Seeing that Wang Jian was silent, Li Xin couldn't help but said: "General, if you don't seize the opportunity, wait until the Liaodong Army of the Yan people and Zhao Jia's generation army arrive, join forces and defend Wuyang to the death. We want to destroy It will be even more difficult if you lose the country of Yan."

young man.

Wang Jian looked at Li Xin who was full of anger and rosy when he spoke, sighing and envious.

He smiled and asked, "What good strategy does General Li have?"

Li Xin held his head high and said: "Xinyuan leads the army forward, breaks through Longdui and Wusui, crosses Yishui, and directly takes Wuyang, the capital of Yan State."

"As long as we capture Wuyang before the reinforcements from the Yan State arrive, our army will be able to use this as a basis to defeat the Yan State Liaodong Army and the Dai Army that supported Wuyang. Finally, the army will encircle Jidu and make great achievements in destroying the country!"

Li Xin spoke loudly.

Wang Jian shook his head and said, "So what if we can't take Wuyang before the Dai army and the Liaodong army arrive."

Li Xin frowned.

In his opinion, this is impossible. Even Handan is broken, and the capital of Yan State is just a mere capital, how can it not be taken down?

Wang Jian smiled again and said, "General Li, the old man has his own decisions in military strategy. When a war opportunity arises, your military exploits are indispensable, so don't worry about it."

"It just so happens that the Guanzhong soldiers from the king's reinforcements have arrived, and I will hand them over to you for drills. This is a big deal, so don't neglect it."

The general is old.

A look of disappointment flashed in Li Xin's eyes, he took a deep breath, bowed his head and said, "Wei."

Seeing Li Xin strode out of the camp, Wang Jian shook his head.

To fight with soldiers, one must know the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people.

Regardless of the weather, although the cold winter is about to pass, people are still shivering from the cold, and even his dignified general has suffered from the wind and cold, let alone the soldiers at the bottom. Do people die?
Besides the favorable location, Wuyang, the lower capital, is the western fortress of the Yan State. It has been run by the Yan people for hundreds of years and has already become an iron wall.

According to the report of the spies, the city is surrounded by Yishui in the north and south, and the main body is divided into two cities, the East and the West, separated by a grain transportation river, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Yan army in the city is also ready for a bloody battle to the death. , is it as Li Xin said, it can be won in a short time.

Finally, there is Renhe, the Yan army guards the homeland, and the Dai army and Qin have the hatred of subjugation. Both armies have high morale and regard death as home.

Moreover, they are all local aborigines, who have already adapted to the severe cold climate, but the Qin army is just the opposite. Not only is their morale low, but many people are not acclimatized, and the new soldiers who support them are recruited in a hurry. fighting power.

The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people, if the three are not possible, even if there is victory, there will be disasters.

Even if it is possible for Li Xin's surprise attack to take down Wuyang, and then conquer Yan State, and make an incomparable feat, the risk is too great.

"When the old man fights a war, he speaks the word 'stable'."

Wang Jian looked at the direction Li Xin was leaving, blowing his nose and shaking his head.

young man.

……

Newly built barracks.

An eight-foot-high wooden wall surrounds the perimeter, and the troops stationed inside are divided into five small battalions: front, rear, left, right, and middle.Each small battalion has a separate camp area, and there are clear boundaries between each battalion, and corresponding trenches have been dug to distinguish them.

On the roads in the barracks, sentry posts are set up every 120 steps. Unauthorized soldiers are not allowed to pass, and they are responsible for clearing the roads.

In the five small battalions, they are divided according to hundreds of people.

"If you don't have a hundred people, you can't get through. Those who enter without a hundred people will be punished. If you don't punish them, you will be guilty of the same crime as them!"

The military order has been issued, and people who are not a centurion are not allowed to pass. If someone enters another camp without authorization, the centurion of the camp will arrest the trespasser and punish him severely. The general, the head of the village, and even all the people in Shiwu will be guilty of the same crime.

"It's so strict."

Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart, Lu Wu, the hundred general who led them just now, had conveyed the military order once, and then returned to the camp, Liang Guang, the head of the village in charge of Xintun, gathered the five things under his jurisdiction and repeated it again.

"Unless the talisman festival of generals and officials, they are not allowed to pass. Those who gather salaries and shepherds are all in the army, and those who are not in the army are not allowed to pass. Those who are unrestrained and have no army will be punished at the gate. Those who exceed the dry land will be punished... ..."

Strict military law is not something to just talk about, the whole article is all kinds of bad, all kinds of punishment.

Before the order from above, everyone had to stay in the camp obediently.

Once someone violated the military order, Shi Wu couldn't even run away.

In such a situation where he couldn't move around at will, Zhao Tuo could only huddle in the tent with Gengshi's robes and stare at each other.

"It's too cold, oh my god, this kind of weather still makes people fight, just freezing to death."

In the tent, Xiaobai sighed, hugged the quilt (qīn) ​​into a ball, his body was still shaking.

Zhu said: "Wait, when it's time to cook, you can start roasting."

There are special personnel in the army to collect firewood and mow grass, but because the Qin army has too many people, the firewood collected can only be used for cooking, and it is impossible to keep warm on weekdays.

Sighing, most of the tents are from Guanzhong. Although the winter in Guanzhong is not much better, at least it is the hometown where I grew up, and my body has certain adaptability.

Now in the land of Yanzhao, not only the water and soil are not acclimatized, but also happened to meet the coldest snow melting day, which is much colder than when it snows.

Moreover, there are no beds in the camp, and everyone is sleeping on the floor, so don't mention the feeling.

Zhao Tuo was fine, he was originally from Zhao, and he was more comfortable with the climate here, but in order to fit in with the group, he also showed a cold look.

"Squeeze, let's keep each other warm, and it will pass after a while."

"Okay, Tuo, I'll share the bed with you, let me warm up."

As soon as Heihip's eyes lit up, he was about to crawl into Zhao Tuo's quilt.

You must know that in addition to weapons and armor, the Qin army not only changed clothes, but also had to bring their own quilts or go to the market near the station to buy them.Therefore, the thickness of each person's quilt is related to their own financial resources. Among the people in the tent, Zhao Tuo is naturally the most important.

In this regard, the black buttocks have already taken aim.

But before he pulled Zhao Tuo's quilt away, Shejian's head popped out, and he gave Heixu a cold look. "Find someone else."

Heibutt turned around resentfully, at this time the others formed a team with each other.

Only him and Xi Qigu in the corner were left.

Xiqigu felt Heiyu's gaze and shouted, "No way!"

The black buttocked hippie smiled and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed and he froze.

Not only him, but everyone in the tent quickly got out of the quilt.

Slow and heavy drum beats.

Accompanied by the roar of the messengers.

"The general patrols the camp!"

"The general patrols the camp!"

　"800 Years of the Yan State · The Natural Environment of Yandi" P17: The climate from the Warring States Period to the beginning of the Han Dynasty was slightly cooler than modern times.From the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the climate warmed up.
