Chapter 327 Marksman (1)
In the era of cold weapons, it is not uncommon to encounter a fortress with strong defense and a commander who is good at defending. The siege war lasts for years and years.
Xiang Yan was in charge of Xinyang City and tentatively attacked the city. Meng Tian did not get any advantage, so he simply learned from Zeng Guofan in later generations and fought a stupid battle.
The Qin army camped outside Xinyang City, and sent crossbowmen to snipe during the day, while the Ruishi Battalion was responsible for harassing at night.
The Qin and Chu armies seemed to be in a stalemate again.
"General, what should we do if we wait for the troops to be under Xinyang City? Xianyang is urging us to urge us?"
In the Central Military Camp, Jing Su looked at the situation of the two armies marked in the sand table, and a deep worry flashed in his eyes.
"If Xianyang comes to serve, we can treat it with good wine and meat with heart." Meng Tian said with a smile, "Besides, I am doing this now to attract the attention of the Chu army."
"The Chu army and the whole country are all on the front line of Sishui, and the rear will definitely be empty. It depends on Gan Luo's ability at that time."
The scabbard in Meng Tian’s hand was pointed at the Jiangdong land of Chu State, which was the rear of Chu State.
"Ganluo went to Yueren alone, I don't know how it is now..."
Jing Su's eyes fell on the large area of land where the king of Yue had lived.
King Goujian of Yue destroyed Wu and brought troops north to the north, which shocked one side. However, even if the Wu and Yue fought each other for decades, even if the Yue Kingdom finally won, it would also consume a lot of power.
After Goujian established his hegemony, the cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, Wen Zhong died tragically, and Fan Li retired. Without the support of top talents, the hegemony of Yue State was finally a flash in the pan.
When King Wei of Chu was in power, he led his army to destroy Yue Kingdom. Goujian's descendants had no choice but to escape. They scattered in Yue territory and became many emperors.
"The Yue people were wearing their hair and tattoos, and were easy to fight. As long as this power was used properly, it would definitely cause great trouble to the Chu people."
The Chu people in the south were regarded as the southern barbarians by the Central Plains people. The Yue people in the south were regarded as the barbarians by the Chu people.
At this time, the more China goes south, the more discriminated it will be.
The Chinese in the Central Plains, out of discrimination, might not have thought of uniting barbarian forces like the Yue people.
Meng Tian didn't have such concerns.
The current Yue people's settlement is located in southern Zhejiang, and is a developed coastal land where later Han people live. Since they are both members of the Chinese nation, there is nothing wrong with the unity of the Chinese nation.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin, the overlord of the Central Plains, also united with Wu in the south in order to deal with the hard-working Chu State.
People from Wu also had their hair and tattoos, carved teeth and embroidered foreheads, and many countries in the Central Plains were not welcomed.
Besides, with Ying Zheng's ambition to unify the known world, the Yue area in the south, including the Baiyue area to the south, must be included in the Chinese civilization circle.
"Since Ganluo has arrived in Yue, I will send more people to the Jiangdong area to assist Ganluo in attacking the rear of Chu."
Jing Su really sympathized with Gan Luo, and he was a life of running around all year round.
Gan Luo and Jing Su have been with Meng Tian for a long time. Jing Su is responsible for Meng Tian’s intelligence work and has been following Meng Tian for many years.
But Ganluo is different. Since Shangjun, I have never seen you a few times a year.
I just returned from the territory of the Huns and had not rested for a few days, but ran to the Yue people without stopping.
The only reward I received was the foreign woman brought back from the country west of the Yuezhi.
"Dangdangdang..."
Meng Tian and Jing Su were discussing how to contact Ganluo and attack Jiangdong. At this time, an emergency bell suddenly came from outside the camp.
"What happened?"
Meng Tian frowned, took Jing Su, lifted the curtain of the military tent, and came outside.
"Report to the general, the strong captain of the Ruishi Camp is injured!"
Zhong Chi, who was in charge of patrolling the barracks, commanded several soldiers and carried out several stretchers.
The stretcher is made of bamboo, which is simple and lightweight.
Man Qiang was lying on one of the stretchers, with an arrow sticking into the upper part of his chest on his right side, which was particularly eye-catching.
On the other stretchers, the selected crossbowmen were lying.
"What's going on?"
Meng Tian was a little surprised. His strong skills, needless to say, were able to rank among the top few in the Qin army.
"General, that's how it is."
On the stretcher at the end, the injured crossbowman opened his mouth and said, "These days, the Captain Manqiang has been responsible for coordinating the Ruishi Battalion and the Sniper Battalion to attack, and has not participated in the sniper operation at night."
The crossbowman took a breath and continued, "During the day today, the captain took us to check the city wall of the Chu army. Before we could shoot arrows, an arrow flew from the city wall. It shot quickly and accurately, and immediately injured a crossbowman."
"The captain believes that the Chu army mobilized the sharpshooters in the army. If we don't destroy the opponent, our army will definitely be unable to sleep or eat. We followed the captain and fought with the opponent for half a day, but we still lost."
Speaking of this, the crossbowman sighed softly and felt a little depressed.
"It's obvious that you are not good at shooting skills, why did you lose one game? You are here to increase the ambition of the enemy and destroy your own majesty!" Zhong Chi curled his lips.
The group of crossbowmen carefully selected by Meng Tian has the status of elite soldiers. The daily food standard is that even if there is no rank, the food is as good as the food for creating ranks.
Deep in his heart, Zhong Chi couldn't help but blame this elite crossbow soldier for all.
"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and the lieutenant Chi doesn't need to say much."
Meng Tian glared at Zhong Chi with dissatisfaction.
"If the soldier is injured, he will first be carried to the doctor's camp and will be treated by the doctors in the army. You will be brought to the Central Army camp to delay the best time for treatment and be treated as negligence."
When soldiers retreat, the first thing they do is not to hold them accountable, but to minimize losses, calm the soldiers' emotions, and restore morale.
The way Zhong Chi chose seemed to come to report to the main general as soon as possible, but in fact, it was not the most suitable way to deal with the injured.
Meng Tian had just checked Mon Qiang's injuries and found that the arrow in his chest had deviated from half a finger of his heart. He should be in danger of life when he was careful to treat it.
Thinking of this, Meng Tian’s tone was slightly relieved.
If Man Qiang died in battle because he missed the treatment time, then Meng Tian would really have the desire to kill Zhong Chi.
"Meng Xue, you took Man Qiang and others to the doctor for treatment."
Meng Tian waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to leave on the stretcher, then stared at Zhong Chi: "Captain Chi, come with me!"
When he returned to the Central Army camp, only Jing Su was present, Meng Tian was not polite: "Captain Chi, I arranged for you to patrol the military camp. This is how you treat your injured colleagues?"
"Please forgive me!"
Seeing Meng Tian move, Zhong Chi's knees softened and she fell to the ground. According to the Qin army's military law, the chief general has the power to deal with the generals under his command. Meng Tian's past killing Mi Hao is not far from each other.
"Why did you do this?" Meng Tian asked in a deep voice.
"General, the general, the strong captain of the Man Qiang is a hunter, his ancestors have no titles, and they are humble, but they can be highly valued by the general. When I saw him return from injury today, I was obsessed with it and took him for a while...."
Speaking of this, Zhong Chi's head was deeply pressed on the ground.
"Why······"
Meng Tian sighed helplessly.
People in the army, although they look straightforward, are actually everyone who is contentious.
For a chariot, Zi can shoot and injure Ying Kao in the same camp.
Zhong Chi's behavior has not yet risen to the point of personally using a manual knife.
After thinking for a while, Meng Tian spoke, "Manqiang was not hurt by you after all, but you have the responsibility for the injured family. I will order you to take care of Manqiang now. If he dies, you will be buried with him. If he lives, what he will do with you depends on what he says......"
