The blood of the perfect world spreads all over the sky

Chapter 226 Change of strategy against Yan, Five Thunder Sword Techniques

In the Banshee carriage, Shi Lei saw the long-lost system prompt.

[Birth of bloodline, receiving feedback from bloodline, transmitting...]

[After the transfer is completed, Pangu’s bloodline is replenished, the bloodline is slightly improved, and new bloodline talents are obtained: controlling gu and raising gu. 】

[The number of reflections has been added once. The current number of reflections is 1. The world that can currently be reflected is: Ge Xing, do you want to reflect it?

The newly added world that can be reflected, Battle Through the Sky, needs to consume ten reflection times (the number of times consumed is related to the world level and world reflection). Is it reflected? 】

After stepping out of the carriage, a secret guard came over and introduced the situation of Wei in detail.

After years of fighting, Wei State has lost a large amount of territory, and now it has shrunk behind South Korea. Passing through Wei State and continuing eastward is Qi State.

Wei Guo already knows that such a big thing has happened in South Korea. Wei Guo has begun to rectify its armaments. As for whether to stand for South Korea, Wei Guo is still hesitant.

First of all, the fault lies with South Korea. The King of Qin died in Xinzheng. Even if it was not South Korea, the blame still falls on South Korea. As long as the Qin State takes the banner of revenge for the king, it will be the master of justice.

Of course, the Warring States Period has been fought until now, and the brains have been beaten out. No one cares about justice or injustice. Whether to support or not depends entirely on King Wei's decision-making, but this justice will become an excuse for King Wei not to support.

The court of Wei State has become a mess. Some people say that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, some say that Qin should not be angered, and some say that they can unite other countries to resist Qin's invasion. There are different opinions.

Shi Lei's team attacking the Kuang Family Chamber of Commerce was ignored.

The people of Wei are not all fools. They seek advantages and avoid disadvantages in everything they do. South Korea has not done anything to this team, and Wei will not do anything about it. They even hope that this team will leave Wei as soon as possible.

Lest South Korea or Qin ask their Wei State to take action, that would be a big trouble. If they take action, they will offend Qi, which has become stronger. If they don't take action, it will give Qin a reason to attack. This caravan is a hot potato.

Three days later, Shi Lei led his team into the territory of Qi State, and the entire team rested in the border town of Qi State.

It is said to be a border town, but it is actually a huge commodity transfer station.

Now Qi's business is extremely developed, and the last stop for many commodities is this border town. After the commodities arrive here, they are either sold to the chambers of commerce of various countries, or they are sent to various countries by professional escorts.

In the chaotic era of the Warring States Period, it would not work without a bodyguard, and it would not work if the bodyguard were too weak. If the bodyguard was too weak, the nobles who were smiling at you might become robbers the next day.

Back in Qi State, Shi Lei decided to let the team rest for two days. He was not tired, but very happy. Nong Yu and Mrs. Hu were so shaken that they almost fell apart.

Traveling in such a hurry, even the cars of later generations would be very tiring, and several beauties without martial arts protection were exhausted.

Hu Meiren kept scolding Chao Banshee every day, but Shi Lei knew that Hu Meiren was just trying to hold on, just for her damn desire to win.

Sure enough, when Shi Lei said he would rest for two days, the dignified and beautiful Hu Meiren immediately relaxed.

In a huge mansion, the girls each chose a room to bathe and rest, while Shi Lei summoned secret guards to ask for information about the Qin State.

The secret guard had a strange expression on his face and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother Zhao Ji of Qin wants to make her and Lao Ai's illegitimate son the king. With the help of Queen Mother Zhao Ji's Yi Zhi, Changxin Hou Lao Ai has an army of 100,000 people. The army, under the banner of 'eliminate traitors', is attacking Xianyang City."

"Lu Buwei claimed that Lao Ai had kidnapped the Queen Mother Zhao Ji to rebel, and led 50,000 people to defend Xianyang. Under Lao Ai's fierce attack, Xianyang City was in danger."

"Your Majesty, should we stop attacking Yan and cooperate with other countries to directly destroy Qin?"

Shi Lei shook his head and said: "No, send an order to Shadow that the troops attacking Yan State cannot withdraw."

"Lao Ai got a high position by serving women. She has never fought a few battles. She is no match for Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei is very cunning and is showing weakness to the enemy at this time."

"Your Majesty, even if Lu Buwei shows weakness to the enemy, after quelling the rebellion, Qin will lose at least 100,000 standing troops. This is a good time to attack."

Even if there were fewer casualties when quelling the rebellion, the troops involved in the rebellion needed to be reorganized and would not be able to go to the battlefield within a few months. There were even tens of thousands of people left to watch over the troops to prevent them from being exploited by those with ulterior motives.

Shi Lei shook his head and said: "You are thinking simply. The Qin State has implemented the military merit and nobility system for so many years. After years of fighting, the people are all good at fighting. A hundred thousand troops are nothing to the current Qin State. The Qin State has A single recruitment can form an army of 200,000 people, and the combat effectiveness of these 200,000 people is not weaker than the standing armies of other countries."

"Under the management of the Sixth Dynasty of Qin State, Qin State has sufficient armaments. With the support of Dujiangyan, Shuzhong has become a granary, so that Qin State has no shortage of food and grass. With years of sufficient food and grass and territory expansion, Qin State now has a population of tens of millions."

"And our Qi country has a population of only 3.5 million, so this is bound to be a long battle."

"It will take at least thirty years of operation before Qi's population can catch up with Qin's, so we can only take our time and capture Yan first."

Speaking of the Yan Kingdom, the secret guard looked extremely proud and reported: "Your Majesty, judging from the battle reports from the front line, after several months of confrontation, the Yan Kingdom can no longer hold on."

Unable to personally control the country, Shi Lei adopted a steady and steady strategy. Two hundred thousand troops marched to the Qi Yan border, and then formed camps to confront each other, consuming each other.

With the support of light industry, Qi's army has 80% of its 200,000 troops wearing armor. There are sufficient military equipment such as trebuchets and eight-oxen crossbows, and arrows are continuously transported. Under this premise, Yan's army The army could not break Qi's camp.

Among the 200,000 troops, 150,000 were new troops. These new troops were placed at key points. The well-disciplined new troops defeated the Yan army's desire for a sneak attack.

The Yan army also attacked Qi's grain transport team from behind, but Qi was well prepared and sent out scouts throughout Qi's territory. They used fast horses to spread the news. It was fanciful to attack the grain team in Qi's territory. As for those in Yan's territory, A short distance away, Qi State had a large army stationed there and could not attack.

"How is the domestic consumption?" Shi Lei asked.

"Your Majesty, we have consumed a lot of money. We have sent a total of 200,000 troops and 200,000 farmers this time. We have consumed twice as much food and grass as the Yan Kingdom."

"Is there anything wrong with spring plowing?" Shi Lei continued to ask.

"Currently, the army's grain and grass can last for two months, and some civilians have been released to sow rice. From the beginning of May to the beginning of June, the civilians will return home to farm in batches. After planting, they will immediately return to the team. The first batch of farmers have already Release, no problem.”

"That's good. How is Yan's food supply?"

Shi Lei nodded, this test is the logistics management ability. Fortunately, Enlightenment Primary School has trained some talents who can assist in management, so there will be no big problems in rotation.

The secret guard responded: "Your Majesty, according to investigation, Yan State has been reducing its food supply. Even so, Yan State's food and grass can only last for a month at most."

"The State of Yan is a bitterly cold land with a sparse population and insufficient food. The two armies have been at each other for three months and their food reserves have been exhausted."

Shi Lei was not surprised by this. The Yan State and South Korea have always been relatively weak countries. Now South Korea has been beaten down to a few counties and has a population of only one million. The Yan State has a complete territory, but its population has dropped sharply to one hundred. Five hundred thousand, in a bitterly cold place, the population of Yan State did not exceed two and a half million during its most powerful period.

In this confrontation, the State of Qi sent 200,000 troops and 200,000 civilians; the State of Yan sent 300,000 troops (the civilians are also considered regular troops.).

If the confrontation continues, the country of Yan will definitely collapse in the end. In fact, it is wrong to fight like this. Qi is the attacking party, with only one-third more people than Yan, but its consumption is twice that of Yan.

With the productivity during the Warring States Period, this was a lose-lose strategy, just like the Battle of Changping. Both Zhao and Qin were short of food. If the confrontation continued, Qin would be the first to resort to the alienation strategy and let Zhao change generals.

Of course, this is not applicable to other countries, but does not apply to Qi. Qi’s rice output is five times that of other countries, with complete farm tools and large harvesters during harvesting.

But even so, Shi Lei will not fight like this in the future. Yan State is bitterly cold and has few people. The grain reserves will be exhausted in three months. If it were Zhao State, it might take nine months. If it were Chu State, it might take a year.

Now the Qi State has just emerged, with a population of only 3.5 million. It needs to increase its population rapidly. When the unification war begins, it needs to leave some space to create more people.

According to Shi Lei's calculations, the regular army needs at least one million, and the civilians need at least 1.5 million.

Of course, if he is willing to improve the bulky agricultural machinery for military use, he can reduce the number of people. Unfortunately, there are warriors in this world, and advanced technology may not be able to hold on.

The Mo family can make flying machine birds, so he has to guard against them.

In fact, the current agricultural machinery can be manufactured in the Mohist government city, but the Mohist family is a sect, not a country, and does not have the resources to manufacture a large number of agricultural machinery.

Shi Lei shook his head slightly. With warriors around, it was really difficult to achieve full industrialization. He was not interested in testing whether the gun was faster or the warrior's fist, because warriors were the fastest with guns.

It's better to take the life essence like a bad person. The life essence is a good thing. As long as you eat it freely, even if you have indigestion, you can become a third-rate warrior after ten years of eating.

So as long as he acquires the horse breeding land of Yan State, opens up wasteland in the northeast, uses the black soil to grow more grain, and then cooperates with the grassland to develop animal husbandry, and finally adds Qi State's own fishery, he can support a team of two people. An army composed of one hundred thousand third-rate warriors is still a well-disciplined army.

Then crush it directly.

Of course, population is also very important. After unification, he will redistribute the population. Two million people will be placed near the capital of Qi, and the remaining eight million people will be placed in the hometown of the Six Kingdoms. Then the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, including the poor families, will be placed there. All moved to the territory of Qi State, and the problem was solved.

Those who are unwilling to migrate will be killed, and those who hide in deep mountains and old forests cannot be spared. Troops need to be sent to hunt them down.

Qin Shiwang needed the nobles of the six countries to manage the local area, but he didn't need it. Enlightenment Primary School had enough management talents.

Shi Lei had a rough plan for the future, but he was still a little worried about destroying the Yan Kingdom.

It would be okay if the Qin State destroyed South Korea at the same time. If the Qin State did not destroy South Korea in the end, then the Qi State would become the target of public criticism.

In 284 BC, the five countries attacked Qi. They said they destroyed Qi, but in fact they only conquered the capital of Qi. Once the capital of Qi was destroyed, the armies of the other four countries withdrew, leaving the Yan army to fight with the Qi army.

It can be seen from this that the attitude of various countries is that it is okay to conquer the country, but complete destruction of the country is out of the question.

If a country is really completely destroyed, it may be targeted by other countries.

At that time, Qin may join forces with the other four countries to attack Qi. Qi currently does not have the strength to fight against all countries.

……

Shi Lei thought about it and decided to observe for two months. If Qin did not destroy South Korea, then he would build a defense line in Shanhaiguan and take the northeastern area north of Shanhaiguan.

When developing business, he also did not forget to develop the shipbuilding industry. At that time, he supported an army of 200,000 people, part of which depended on fishing for food.

In this era, due to poor fishing technology, the catch was very abundant, whether in rivers, streams or in the sea. As an exclusive ocean fishing fleet, fishing was really profitable.

Those nobles were not stupid either. Seeing that the Kuang family had such an excellent fleet, they also wanted to buy ships, but they were all rejected by Shi Lei.

This is an advanced wooden sea-going ship, a three-masted sailboat copied from the West. It is not that ships cannot be built, but that the industry has not developed and sails are more cost-effective.

Now he has 300 large and small warships, including 100 ocean-going warships; 700 large and small fishing boats. This is his accumulation in twelve years.

One hundred ocean-going ships and two hundred ocean-going fishing boats can still transport an army of 100,000 people.

Thinking of this, Shi Lei immediately issued an order, ordering Admiral Kuang Ji to prepare ships, mobilize 10,000 new troops and 70,000 standing troops to go to Donglai County, and conduct adaptive training under the leadership of 20,000 navy troops to rush to Shanhaiguan at any time.

The navy of 20,000 people is called a navy, but in fact it is more like a driver of a ship. Its combat effectiveness is similar to that of a standing army.

After the order was issued, Shi Lei looked to the west. What would Lu Buwei choose?

The next afternoon, in the backyard of the mansion, Shi Lei finished a set of Xingyiquan and then developed the Five Thunder Sword Technique with his sword.

There are no palm techniques, boxing techniques, or sword techniques in Wu Lei Tian Xin Jue.

After seeing the energy attacks of Bai Yifei, Yan Lingji and others, he wanted it too.

With the assistance of the source of life, he was no stranger to energy attacks and quickly found some tricks.

Use the sword technique to perform the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Techniques.

Golden thunder is extremely sharp and suitable for breakthroughs.

Wood thunder, thunder and lightning contains vitality, suitable for electrotherapy.

Mines, with continuous attacks, are suitable for protracted battles.

Fire thunder attacks quickly and has a large strike range, suitable for group attacks.

Earth Thunder, with thick swordsmanship, is like a wall, suitable for defense.

Although the Five Thunder Sword Technique is only tapered now, in time it will definitely become a world-famous sword technique.

He had not practiced for many years, and Shi Lei was obsessed with developing swordsmanship. He forgot everything around him for a while, and he didn't even know that Hu Meiren was here.

Hu Meiren was wearing a short gauze skirt that was slit to the shoulders, and her fair skin was looming.
