Chapter 323 Deployment

If you are going outside, the king will not accept anything.

This sentence was originally not for the commanders, but for the monarch.

The general regarded this sentence as a good word and ignored the monarch's decree. Even if he gained a moment of profit, he would die very quickly in the end.

When Meng Tian received the order from Ying Zheng, he immediately understood that he could not patiently run a marathon with Xiang Yan.

At present, only the veteran Wang Jian, who led the troops, would not ask about it.

Wang Jian's status was quite unique, and Ying Zheng treated him with courtesy.

Meng Tian is different. The two learned to practice swords since childhood, and there was a trace of friendship between the king and the ministers.

When they met in the palace, Ying Zheng changed his clothes, he discussed things with Meng Tian as usual. Meng Tian didn't feel any disrespectful.

Later, Emperor Wu of Han also met Wei Qing when he was changing clothes, and Wei Qing was a general who was highly valued by Emperor Wu.

"The king ordered me to end the war with Chu State as soon as possible, and the original plan will no longer apply."

In the command post, Meng Tian summoned his commander to convey the will of Xianyang.

"Jing Su, how is the plan of our army to send people to divide the Chu people now?"

"Some soldiers in the Chu army camp received the news that Mi Tong was appointed King of Chu, causing some chaos. However, Xiang Yan immediately sent people to kill the Chu army soldiers who spread the news. Now the Chu army camp has settled."

Seeing Meng Tian asking, Jing Su sorted out his dead end and replied: "I have sent people to contact the monarchs of various parts of Chu. The Fighting Family, Yun Family and other monarchs are willing to remain neutral and no longer send troops to support Xiang Yan."

"But, let them clearly oppose Fu Chu, these people dare not agree easily."

Speaking of this, Jing Su lowered her eyelids slightly and felt a little embarrassed.

The work was not carried out very smoothly by instigating the fence-leading monarchs of Chu State.

"As long as there is a Fengjun who does not stand opposite to our army, it will be Xiang Yan's loss."

Seeing Jing Su's shame, Meng Tian comforted him: "These vassals are willing to contact our army, which is a good omen. They are waiting and watching now, just because the situation is still unclear."

"When our army defeats Xiang Yan, we will contact them again, and we will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Before attacking Chu, Meng Tian carefully studied the national conditions of Chu.

The State of Chu was once the Warring States Period with the largest land area, with a land of five thousand miles, ranging from Lu to Limensai in the north.

Before the Three Jins were conquered, the Qin State's land area was barely equal to that of Chu State.

However, although the Chu State is large in size, it has fatal weaknesses.

The State of Chu became the queen, followed the Zhou Dynasty and implemented a feudal system in the country.

The huge Chu State has a large and small feudal lord inside. It was once a direct lineage of fighting families, with a large fiefdom and a large number of children, and it has the strength to challenge the King of Chu.

When the overlord of Chu King Zhuang was in power, he fought with the fighters to consolidate the status of the Chu royal family.

Since then, the Chu State has always implemented the situation of the King of Chu and many vassals. The Wu State has broken through Yingdu, and the central government has been in chaos. The local vassals have expanded the power of local autonomy.

Entering the Warring States Period, King Dao of Chu appointed Wu Qi to reform, weakening the power of the nobles' feudal kings. Unfortunately, the Chu State's reform failed to stick to the end like Qin State.

When Qin and Chu are fighting, Qin can concentrate their efforts to fight Chu, and local counties can form a fist.

The State of Chu is different. The local vassals have their own plans. The vassals south of the Yangtze River have always been unwilling to send troops and grain.

At that time, the King of Chu forced them to leave Yingdu and go to Jiangnan, like their ancestors, working hard to open up the land.

They were filled with resentment!

After Jing Su's intelligence introduction was completed, Meng Tian's eyes fell on Sen's head.

Sen is now in charge of the Tap Stone Camp and can attend the military convention.

The Qin army had already seen the power of the Tunshi Camp when they were under Chen Ying City. Attacking the Chu army that was defending the city, the Tunshi Camp's status became more and more important.

"How many catapults have been built in the catapult camp now?"

"There are five hundred catapult cars in the Thread Camp. As long as the general gives the order, the Thread Camp can enter the battle."

Sen stood up and made himself look more confident.

"Based on the basis of the existing catapult, you organize the manpower and develop more advanced catapults."

Meng Tian had an impression of the classical catapult cart in his mind and could be roughly drawn. Meng Tian didn't know how to build a giant catapult cart like Huihui Cannon, so he could only let the craftsmen develop it.

"I only ask to be able to throw larger stone bullets and shoot longer distances."

The current land of China is densely covered with trees, lush and covered with forests, several times higher than in later generations.

The Chu State in the south was not short of towering ancient trees. In this way, the Qin army could use materials locally without lacking raw materials.

The leaders of the soldiers here looked at Sen.

"Doctor Sen, you can get me fifty catapults, but I'm going to attack Xinyang."

Zhang Tuo spoke, wishing he could ask Sen to write down the letter immediately.

"Fifty? You have the nerve to speak up, it would be good to give you a cross."

Zhang Tuo and Lion spoke loudly, and Meng Hu was unhappy.

"Our headquarters also needs to prepare several aircraft, and there will always be times to attack the city."

"And I...

Zhong Chi, Meng Xue and others spoke one after another, striving to leave an impression in Sen's heart.

Even Huang Ji, who was quite calm, also asked for a cross-catstone cart.

Meng Tian designed and operated by Sen. The group of catapults can run as fast as a chariot with four wheels and two horses underneath.

In addition to the chassis of the catapult car, other components can be disassembled and easy to carry.

The captains who were able to lead a Qin army soon realized the value of the catapult, and they all wanted to win a few such heavy weapons for their troops.

"Ahem......"

Sen was a little stunned and full of grievance. He agreed not, nor did he agree not.

Fortunately, Meng Tian’s cough sounded at the right time, and he relieved his siege.

After everyone calmed down, Meng Tian had an idea about the distribution of the catapult cart.

"Only by using the catapult cart in a concentrated manner, the catapult camp's maximum combat power can be leveraged."

The stone-tree camp is equivalent to the artillery soldiers of later generations. They are used scatteredly and form a stone-tree formation. The overwhelming stone bombs are hit by it, making it more difficult for the enemy to avoid it.

"As for supporting the operations of various departments, Sen will form a mobile Taushitun, and the captains of each department are responsible for establishing a liaison mechanism with Sen."

One catapult, ten catapult cars, fifty soldiers, one camp leader, and more war horses. With stronger mobility, it can better support various units to fight.

Meng Tian's transport to the Thunder Camp combined with the experience of artillery tactics in later generations.

Based on the principle of centralized use, the mobility of the Tap Stone Camp is enhanced.

"I'll give you half a month to cooperate with each department to practice how to better wield the combat effectiveness of the Thunder Stone Camp."

Since he decided to take the initiative to find an opportunity to fight the Chu army, Meng Tian did not hesitate at all.

"Li Bi, Luo Jia, during this period, you two have stepped up the sweep of the Chu army's food supply roads in Xinyang, Weixian and Chengfu. Since Xiang Yan is unwilling to fight with our army, I will force him out of the city and fight with me!"
