I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

Ying Zheng also promised that after the war, he would give corresponding compensation and not use everyone's guards in vain.

Although the ministers are unhappy, the country has reached this point. If they don't work hard, if Qin is defeated, no one will benefit.

And when the king settles in the future, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.

Yao Jia has been standing still, but his heart is full of joy. This trick is really good!

From then on, the nobles of Daqin may have a hard time.

Relying on the private army in their hands, the nobles did evil in Daqin, which made Yingzheng hate him to the extreme, but there was no proper reason to confiscate them.

So, he gave the king this idea.

In fact, Yingzheng's intelligence team had already expected that when Daqin attacked Zhao, the five eastern countries would never turn a blind eye.

It is certain to send troops to rescue Zhao Guo.

It's just that they didn't expect that the Chu State would be so bold that it directly attacked the Qin State, occupying more than a dozen cities in one go, and even occupied the old capital of the Chu State, Ying.

Yao Jia raised his eyes and glanced at Ying Zheng, took a step forward, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I still want to make up for the Five Kingdoms of Shandong!"

"Now Daqin's caravans are all over the five countries in Shandong, why not recall these merchants."

"The refined salt and tea shouldn't be sold to them, and the grain hoarded by the merchants shouldn't be sold anymore."

"There are also nobles who migrated from South Korea. Now that the sugar cane has been planted, they are trying to earn a wave of credit. Why not let them also come forward and attack the Chu army."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "That's the reason, then pass on the will of the widow. All businessmen from the Qin State will return to the Qin State from now on and will not trade with the six Shandong countries."

"Even if they have food, they can't sell it to the local people."

The ministers didn't know that this caravan belonged to the country.

Its leader is Wei Liaozi, and the rest of the retail merchants were tied into the thief boat by Zhang He. If they are disobedient, they will never get any profit in the future.

"My lord, my Ba family has been taken care of by the kings for generations, so I have the Ba family today. Today, the country is in trouble, and my Ba family can't serve the country. We can only donate [-] dan of grain and grass."

A middle-aged man stood up slowly and bowed to report to Ying Zheng.

This person is the only official in the court of the Ba family, and he is an offshoot of the Ba family.

Ying Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "The Ba family has done enough for Qin, but how can I not accept the kindness of the Ba family? You tell Mr. Ba, I know."

Everyone in the court was surprised, but they didn't expect that the Ba family donated [-] shi of grain and grass all at once, which can be described as a generous donation.

At this time, the Ba family is in need of charcoal. When Qin wins in the future, Ying Zheng will repay the Ba family ten times and a hundred times.

At this time, old man Ying Bing, the uncle of King Qin Yingzheng, asked to see him outside the palace.

After entering, he said: "The state of Qin is in trouble. As an old man of the Qin royal family, how can I watch from the sidelines. The old man will offer one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass to the king."

Ying Bing is now rich and powerful. He runs the only restaurant in Daqin and earns a lot of money. The one hundred thousand shi is only food and grass, and he can earn it back in three years.

This is the best time to curry favor with the king, how could he miss it.

Ying Zheng looked at the stubborn old man and took a deep breath. Since he asked Uncle Wang Yingxi to rectify the royal family last year, the royal family is now on his side.

He fully supported all his actions, which made him feel the affection and strength of the family.

He is no longer alone in fighting for the Ying family.

"Okay, Lord Ning'an is so enlightened, I feel relieved, come and send a cow to Lord Ning'an's residence!"

Ying Bing did not expect that the king would reward him with a cow. Usually, although he secretly kills cattle and eats meat, this time is different. It was rewarded to him by the king, the only one in the whole Qin Dynasty!

The military order started from Xianyang and spread to various places. The whole Great Qin began to recruit troops, and the response was also great in various places. After more than a year of deployment and implementation of benevolent government, the people felt the benefits of Qin.

The country was in trouble, so they joined the army one after another.

But what attracted them most was military exploits.

As long as they go to the battlefield and kill an enemy, their family will not have to starve in the future.

Zhang He from Jingxing got a reply from Wang Jian one day later, telling Zhang He to go south to fight Tian Dan with confidence, and he would bite Sima Shang to death.

Just when Zhang He's army approached the house, they received the news from Xianyang again.

Knowing that everything is still under control, Zhang He was relieved a lot, but Chu State captured Yingdu, which Zhang He did not expect.

How much does King Chu want to court death?

Chapter 187 Tian Dan's Fire Bull Formation

After Zhang He received the Xianyang military order, Wang Jian delivered a steady stream of supplies the next afternoon.

At the same time, [-] war horses were sent.

It was just enough to replenish the cavalry, and at the same time five thousand clay pots containing black oil were sent.

After Zhang He received the supplies, he directly sent his troops southward. The house city was still a day away from Feicheng, and Meng Tian's more than 2 troops were still infantry.

But Zhang He had 2 carriages carrying goods, which happened to carry more than [-] infantry.

All the way to the rapid march south.

The scouts sent by Tian Dan were killed by Zhang He's scouts, and they fled. When Tian Dan heard the news, his face was gloomy and his heart was very anxious.

"The outside of the city has been completely arranged according to what the old man said?"

Tian Dan looked at Lieutenant General Yan Bin and asked in a cold voice.

Yan Bin cupped his hands and said: "General, the preparations are ready. According to your instructions, tens of thousands of trenches one person deep were dug three miles outside the city. Sharpened wooden stakes were placed in all the trenches. Build it out of branches and cover it with old dirt."

"Each trench is ten meters apart. During this period, ten crossbowmen are hidden in the trenches, and they can shoot and kill the Qin army on the side."

"There are also horse-repelling posts and tripping ropes placed two miles away from the city."

After hearing this, Tian Dan frowned, feeling a little displeased, and after talking for a long time, he didn't get to the point.

"The old man asked you to look for farm cattle, but did you find thousands of cattle?"

Yan Bin lowered his head, his face turned red, and he bowed aggrievedly: "General, it's not that the subordinates are not good enough, it's because the people around this house are too poor, and the subordinates have been looking for it all morning, and then they asked for it from a few noble families. Five hundred oxen have arrived... Those nobles, when they heard that we were requisitioning the oxen, they all hid the oxen."

"Asshole, the Qin army has come to the door, and he is still worrying about a few cows, go to grab it for the old man..."

Tian Dan was so angry that his beard started to move. He couldn't even recruit a few cows. How could he fight this battle?

At the very least, the fire ox array needs thousands of oxen. Now there are only [-] oxen. How to arrange the fire ox array that he is proud of?

This Fire Bull Formation is his famous work. Back then, Yan State made great strides all the way, beating Qi State so hard that it couldn't even raise its head.

Later, the king of Qi ordered him to go out on horseback. He pretended to surrender and used a thousand oxen to form a formation of fire bulls.

Then he led [-] elite soldiers to chase and kill the Yan army all the way, broke through more than [-] cities, and killed the Yan general Qi Jie.

I thought I was going to use the Fire Bull Formation to teach Zhang He a thief to be a man, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even find a thousand cows, which is so sad!

"Go and grab it for the old man. If you want to grab it, you will have to grab thousands of cows. Otherwise, it will be done by military law."

"General, this... people will complain and may sue you!"

Tian Dan waved his hand and said with a sneer, "Let them go to the queen mother to sue the old man, and the king to sue the old man, and the old man will take care of it."

Yan Bin clenched his fists. If they don't give cows to those nobles today, they will use them to attack the Qin army.

Yan Bin went to grab the cattle.

Tian Dan said with a smile to his subordinates: "Take all the cattle you have collected three miles away, and I will teach you how to make a fire bull array today."

The subordinates all know Tian Dan's highlight moment, defeating the Yan army with the Fire Bull Formation, but it was a battle for Tian Dan to become famous.

However, after this battle, Tian Dan fell into a slump. He fled from Qi State to Zhao State and was not reused by King Zhao. Guo Lao died.

Three miles outside the city, Tian Dan visited the arranged traps all the way, and was quite satisfied with Yan Bin's arrangement.

After three miles away, the soldiers brought more than 500 oxen, and then Tian Dan taught the soldiers how to make a fire ox array.

"Everyone is optimistic, we need to tie the blade to the horns of the ox, then tie the reed grass to the tail, and pour oil on it. When the Qin army's cavalry charges, we will light the reed grass on the ox's tail, and the ox will be frightened and rush towards the Qin army's cavalry." run wild."

"The frightened cow will run towards the Qin army's cavalry at high speed, and a single charge can disperse the Qin army's formation."

"Afterwards, our army's archers and crossbowmen will be able to kill a wave of Qin army cavalry with all their arrows."

"Then, the crossbowman ran towards the sides of the trap that had been set."

"The Qin army was charged by the cattle, scattered the formation, and killed a group of cavalry. Zhang He will definitely be very angry. After people are angry, they will have the heart of revenge. At that time, Zhang He will order the whole army to attack let's kill..."

"Wait until the Qin army's iron cavalry rushed into our trench, hahaha..."

Listening to Tian Dan's foolproof arrangement, everyone relaxed in their hearts, and laughed along with Tian Dan.

It seemed that they had seen the cavalry of the Qin army rushing into the trench, the horses fell down in the trench one by one, and the soldiers of Qin State were shot to death by their crossbowmen.

"That's not counting. After the Qin army has rushed through these lines of defense, our infantry is waiting in full force. The cavalry has no charge speed, just like our infantry. Let's kill the cavalry with long spears."

Tian Dan's laughter echoed in the wilderness, and when the surrounding soldiers heard Tian Dan's words, their morale was greatly shaken.

Tian Dan saw his morale shaken, and he was relieved. Damn, the old man had never smiled so stupidly, but in order to boost morale, he had to act so affectionately.

In fact, the bitterness in his heart forced him, not to mention whether Zhang He's cunning thief would be fooled, even if he was fooled, how could his [-] infantry stop others' [-] cavalry?

This was a battle with no chance of winning, but he had no choice but to rely on the [-] army to wipe out the vital strength of the Qin army.

"Report..."

"The Qin army is still eighty miles away, and our army's scouts... were killed by the Qin army's scouts again!"

He came riding Juechen, ran to Tian Dan, and immediately jumped off the horse. His whole body was soaked in blood, and there were two arrows stuck in his back, but they were protected by the armor. in the meat.

Just as Zhao Jun got excited, he was splashed with a basin of cold water by the scout.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Tian Dan, Tian Dan said angrily: "The whole army is ready..."

Eighty miles away, the army of the Qin State galloped all the way south, and the smoke and dust rose everywhere. Zhang He was guarded by five thousand Qin soldiers and walked in front of the army.

A scout came from Juechen, and came to Zhang He's side and said, "General, there are still eighty miles away from the house city, and we can arrive in two hours. Our scouts have killed all the scouts of the Zhao army, and they are already close to the house. Thirty miles away from the city."

Zhang He ordered: "Let Li Xin wait for the army at a distance of twenty miles, and eliminate the enemy scouts on the left and right sides."

"Tell Li Xin not to pursue him, lest he fall into Tian Dan's trap. Tian Dan is known for conspiracy, but he is not a gentleman like Pang Nuan."

The scout bowed, got on the horse and galloped forward again.

"Command all generals to advance at full speed."

An hour later, Zhang He and Li Xin met at Shilili. Li Xin's scouts had returned from scouting, and Tian Dan was stationed three miles away from the house. Judging from his posture, it seemed that he was about to fight the Qin army to the death.

Zhang He asked in disbelief: "Standing in full force three miles outside the city? Are they all infantry?"

Li Xin also wondered, that old guy Tian Dan is out of his mind, or is he dementia?He even wanted to use infantry and crossbowmen to snipe our cavalry.

"It's a mixed type of infantry and crossbowmen, there are probably more than [-]!"

Zhang He pondered for a moment, wondering what Tian Dan wanted to do?

So he ordered: "Tian Dan now has a maximum of 1 troops, and more than [-] are deployed three miles away. There must be an ambush behind him, because Tian Dan's main task is to defend, not to confront our army head-on."

"I heard that Tian Dan is best at the Fire Bull Formation. This old guy doesn't know how to use the Fire Bull Formation, does he?"

Meng Tian smiled and said: "It is very possible that the fire bull formation is Tian Dan's famous battle formation, and it is also a model of winning more with less."

"But ours are iron cavalry. Back then, he charged the infantry of Yan Kingdom. Could it be that our iron cavalry can't run?" Zhang He asked suspiciously.

The two were also puzzled, and wanted to use cattle to overwhelm their cavalry. This Tian Dan was a bit whimsical, not to mention that the Qin army's large crossbows and continuous crossbows were omnipotent in attacking cities and villages. It seemed easier to deal with cattle?

But Zhang He thought that Tian Dan was not that stupid, and that old guy must have follow-up measures to make himself suffer a big loss.

After Zhang He pondered for a while, he ordered: "Li Xin, you lead [-] cavalry, go south from the east line, go around to the south of the house, and attack from the south."

"Meng Tian, ​​you lead [-] cavalry, go south from the west line, and attack the house from the west."

Then Zhang He said with a smile: "A certain person continues to go south from the middle line, and look at the beef that Tian Dan prepared for a certain person!"

"Thousands of cows are enough for our [-] troops to drink a mouthful of beef soup each."

"Remember, fight steadily, don't be greedy for success, Tian Dan is not an ordinary person."

The two immediately cupped their hands: "The last general has orders!"

The two rode away and set off with their own cavalry.

Behind Zhang He followed more than [-] infantry and more than [-] cavalry, and continued to go south. At a place five miles away from Tian Dan's formation, Zhang He stopped, and put all the chariots carrying weapons and food behind him at the forefront of the army. .

Then he continued to move forward, he was worried that Tian Dan would really herd cattle on his army.

If some cavalry were killed by cattle, he would be very distressed.
