Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 143 Great Qin’s first Mo Dao
"Ahem——" After finishing the pretense, Ying Zheng could only interrupt everyone's thoughts and signaled that they could express their opinions without hearing anyone agreeing.

Wang Ben was the first to react, and strode forward, almost putting his face on the scroll, with a green light in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, what kind of weapon is this? It is so magical. May I ask who presented it to you?"

"Why are you asking these questions?" Li Xin stepped forward, pointing to the weapons on the picture as if he had found a treasure: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask about the weapons and this formation, but they are specially used to equip our Daqin infantry. To deal with the Huqi outside the Great Wall?"

"General Li has fought against the Hu people. It can be seen at a glance." Ying Zheng stood tall and asked with a smile: "Then I am here to test you, what are the advantages of our army compared with the Hu cavalry outside the Great Wall?" weakness?"

Li Si thought for a moment and was the first to answer: "The only thing that can deal with cavalry is cavalry. Although we in Great Qin have cavalry now, due to the short training and coordination time, they are still far behind Hu cavalry!"

"The last time General Mengtian confronted the Xiongnu, he used His Majesty's divisive tactics and tricks to lure the Huns and our Daqin army to a decisive battle at a position that was not conducive to the cavalry's attack. Only then did he win easily. I'm afraid..."

Although Li Si didn't say the whole thing, the generals present all nodded their heads. Everyone knew what Li Si's subtext was. If Meng Tian really encountered the Huns cavalry on the plain, no one would really know what the outcome would be.

Strictly speaking, the Huqi outside the Great Wall is better than the Qin army in terms of mobility and combat strength. If it really fights hard, the Qin army may be able to defeat the Huns, but the price paid is definitely unbearable for anyone.

Li Xin nodded, "What Prime Minister Zuo said is very reasonable. I have also found that the cavalry of their coalition forces are very strong in fighting against the Xiongnu and Yuezhi coalition forces in Jiuyuan."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu seemed to be in harmony with each other, and I had arranged an ambush in advance, I'm afraid the outcome would have been unpredictable."

"So this time from Jiuyuan, I brought back all the captured war horses. I believe that it won't take long to form a powerful Daqin cavalry."

"That's right!" Yang Duanhe also said: "Now the racecourse outside Jiuyuan and the Hetao area where General Meng Tian is stationed can breed high-quality war horses for our Great Qin. Our Great Qin no longer has to worry about cavalry horses."

"You don't have to worry about war horses, but what about cavalry?" Right Minister Feng Quji poured cold water on everyone, "It takes at least half a year to train a qualified cavalry, and the cavalry policy takes longer, at least two years. above time.”

"The generals are all leaders of the army, and they all know the meaning of the truth. Can you be sure of what will happen in two years' time?"

"So in the next two years, my Daqin will still have to rely on infantry to deal with the Hu cavalry outside the Great Wall, but the disadvantage of infantry against Hu cavalry, needless to say, you all know in your heart, otherwise why would your majesty think so hard about these things? Weapon tactics?"

As soon as these words came out, all the important court officials present stopped talking, and their faces became very dignified.

Everyone knows that Feng Quji's words are correct, who doesn't want to immediately kill those Hu Qi outside the Great Wall who are always harassing the border.

But the problem is that Daqin is now fully suppressing the Hu cavalry outside the Great Wall in terms of weapons and soldiers, but it has always been lawless in dealing with cavalry.

Ying Zheng saw that many of the courtiers had become depressed, and waved his hands and said: "It is indeed true what the Right Prime Minister said. It is precisely because we know that it takes time to cultivate cavalry, so for now we still start with infantry. You will see."

"The picture on my left is the blueprint of Modao's manufacturing process, and the one on the right is a new type of military formation with the Modao Battalion as the core."

"As long as we can build infantry like the one in this picture, our Daqin army will be invincible in the world, and our Daqin Modao Battalion will be the nightmare of all barbarian cavalry!"

The ministers all looked sideways. When everyone saw the two pictures, they were indeed very surprised. However, no one thought that the army established based on these two pictures alone could deal with the cavalry outside the Great Wall.

If it were so easy to deal with the cavalry outside the Great Wall, why did the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Yan have to spend so much effort to build the Great Wall?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is unlikely. Even if you equip these weapons and practice the formation well, it's impossible to say that infantry alone can defeat the Huqi outside the Great Wall, right?"

"This sword does look good, but when it comes to dealing with cavalry, General Meng Tian and General Li Xin have already passed the test. Only cavalry or crossbowmen can suppress the opponent's cavalry. This sword alone is probably too powerful!"

"Infantry fighting cavalry on the plain must be at least ten times the number of the opponent, otherwise it will definitely collapse in one round."

"It is precisely because of this that I, Daqin, built the Great Wall, but such a long border line is really hard to defend against!"

Ministers, what you say, what I say, basically means that you don't quite believe that the Daqin infantry can defeat the cavalry with just a Mo Dao and Mo Dao formation.

Many of the generals present were promoted step by step from the frontier army, and they all had experience in fighting Huqi outside the Great Wall. Therefore, the habit they have developed for a long time made them subjectively think that the cavalry should be stronger no matter what aspect it is. Yu pawns.

This is also an indisputable fact. After all, today's cavalry is just like the tank soldiers of later generations. When infantry and tanks confront each other, the result is obvious. No matter how powerful the soldiers are, it is impossible to replace the opponent's cavalry.

"Hmph, I know you don't believe it, so I have arranged for the palace general to be the supervisor a few days ago and have already built the first Mo Dao in Great Qin!"

"What, this weapon has already been forged?" Qiang Li lost his voice. He was already excited when he saw the technical drawing of Mo Dao.

As a great Qin general, what he likes most is to use heavy weapons to kill opponents with a crushing posture on the battlefield.

From the blueprint of Mo Dao, it can be seen that this new weapon is at least one foot long and weighs no less than forty catties, and this kind of weapon is Qiang Li's favorite, so when he heard that Mo Dao had been built , I can't wait to see and see.

"Your Majesty, I am also very curious about the power of Mo Dao. Can you let me see it for a while?" Feng Jing's eyes also lit up.

"That's why I called you here, let's go, go to the Martial Arts Field!" Ying Zheng waved his hand, and the officials immediately surrounded Ying Zheng and went to the Martial Arts Field in the palace.

At this time, in the martial arts arena, there were already four black ice warriors standing quietly among them, holding a pitch-black weapon.

The weapon in their hands is a long knife, the handle and the blade are more than one meter long, and the edge of the knife glows with a faint cold light. Looking at it from a distance, just these four black ice warriors are enough to make the entire martial arts performance The field was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
