After the Changping War of Qin and Zhao, another large army battle of nearly one million people is being staged on the land of China and the borders of Qin and Chu.

The difference is that in the Battle of Changping, the experienced Bai Qi faced the fledgling Zhao Kuo. The battle between Qin and Chu in Xinyang was a battle-torn Xiang Yan, who had been fighting against the young Meng Tian.

"At present, there are no more troops left in Chu who can mobilize the front line. The time is for the decision to win or lose."

Outside Xinyang City, the Qin army's central tent and important generals under Meng Tian gathered together.

Everyone sat upright, with excitement shining in their eyes. They had been fighting with the Chu army for more than half a year. In the past half month, the Qin army's chariots and crossbows have been bombarded continuously, and the morale of the Chu army has long been sluggish.

It is time for Qin and Chu to decide the outcome. As long as you win this battle, title, land, and ministers, you don’t have to worry about anything.

"Every County, Chengfu's Chu army was controlled by Meng Hu and Huang Ji, and could not join the Chu army in Xinyang. Next, I am preparing to conquer Xinyang City!"

In the camp, Meng Tian sat eastward, faced the rectangular sand table, reached out and took out a small black flag, and inserted it on the front of Xinyang City on the sand table.

Forced attack on Xinyang City?

Zhang Tuo, Meng Xue, Hu Duo and others were quite surprised when they heard Meng Tian say in person that he would conquer Xinyang.

Meng Tian has always given people the impression that he cherishes the lives of his soldiers very much and will not easily drive his soldiers to forcibly attack the city.

The catapults and crossbows made by Meng Tian instructed Doctor Sen were extremely powerful and used to attack the city, which really greatly reduced the loss of soldiers.

However, the Xinyang city wall was extremely strong, and Xiang Yan sent someone to block the city gate. It would not be so easy to conquer it, and some people would have to die.

Ci doesn't control the troops. It seems that it may be Xianyang's side, so it's been urged.

Thinking of this, everyone in the tent couldn't help but feel a little determined in excitement.

"Zhang Tuo, I will order your troops to be the pioneer and take down the city gate at all costs!"

Zhang Tuo and others did not know the information about Ganluo and Yue people. At present, Meng Tian did not plan to let the generals under his command know.

"The last general will receive the order!"

Seeing Meng Tian’s solemn expression and a firm tone, Zhang Tuo nodded in response.

Meng Hu and Huang Zhi are not here, and Zhang Tuo is the one who can fight the toughest battle in the tent.

"Today's military agreement is over, you can lead people to properly select the first-ranked men."

Zhang Tuo accepted the order without hesitation, without any hesitation, and Meng Tian felt very satisfied.

"As long as you become a first-class man, you will be rewarded with one thousand coins regardless of success or failure. After the war, each person will be promoted to a higher rank."

There must be brave men under heavy rewards, and this has been the case since ancient times.

The first-level man, also known as the trapped man, is the suicide squad in later generations.

In the era of cold weapons, especially when siege, soldiers who climbed cloud ladders and climbed the city walls had a very high mortality rate, often 80 to 90% of them.

The risk is so high that the soldiers are willing to rush forward with their heads, and receive extremely generous rewards from the Warring States to the first-class people.

In the Warring States Period, countries are competing for power. Without a strong army, it is difficult for a country to survive for a long time.

If you want to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, rewards and punishments must be clearly distinguished.

In this era, due to frequent wars, the army of various countries and the internal reward and punishment mechanisms are still fairly clear. It is almost impossible for a person who wants to sing a song or dance to become a general.

General Crane in the Spring and Autumn Period could only exist in a strange way and meet a strange king.

The breeze blew, and the curtains of the military tent swung gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

But the generals in the military tent did not feel the chill at all.

Meng Tian's eyes slowly moved and finally fell on Meng Xue.

"Captain Master, you are responsible for siege with the captain Tuo."

After Mi Hao's death, Meng Xue, the four camp lieutenants who were left behind, worked hardest and practiced the army seriously. Meng Tian saw it.

"The last thing will be done to fulfill the mission!"

Meng Xue raised her body and looked very excited to meet Meng Tian's expectant gaze.

It is not that easy to conquer Xinyang Jiancheng, Meng Xue is very clear about it.

Meng Tian pointed out his general, which shows that Meng Tian recognized his leadership ability.

"Captain Chi, Duo, Shuang, you three are responsible for the formation, guarding the crossbow camp, and the stone casting camp."

"promise."

Zhong Chi, Hu Duo, Xishuang responded, feeling a little relaxed and a little disappointed.

When the troops are at the city, the troops that first attack the city will inevitably face major casualties. If a general who leads the army is not good, he is likely to be killed in battle.

In the Qin army, it is common for them to go to the level of the chief general, the military marquis and the captain to take action personally.

The danger behind the formation is much smaller, but in this way, there are also many fewer opportunities to make contributions.

"Li Bi, you are responsible for leading the army around and preventing the Chu army from coming to aid."

"Luo Jia, you lead the army to guard the central army as the general reserve."

"Jing Su, I will leave the safety of the camp to you!"

After many years of joining the army, Jing Su slowly learned to handle military affairs. He was not his leader in field battles, but he managed the base camp and was in charge of the rear. Jing Su was very reassuring.

"Tomorrow, prepare to attack the city!"

After the military discussion ended, the Qin army's generals went to rectify their respective troops and prepare for tomorrow's battle.

Zhang Tuo and Meng Xue left together and ordered people to hold wooden signs to select the first-class people to tell the entire army.

Few soldiers with titles and wealthy families are willing to be selected as the first camp. The risks are high and the hope of success is very small, so it is not very cost-effective to think about it.

The opportunity to enter the camp first is destined to be prepared for ordinary soldiers who are brave in combat, have difficulty in upgrading their ranks, and are eager to make a name for themselves.

According to Meng Tian's habit, the soldiers who were selected to enter the camp first will be selected to join Meng Tian's personal guard camp if they survive.

Even if he is disabled, he can still enter the Mongolian Mansion to serve as a guard.

Meng Tian’s habit was passed down from Meng Ao, and through Meng Wu, it has been passed down for three generations.

The soldiers felt that under Meng Tian's command, the hope of success was much greater than that of other Qin generals.

Before the Xu hour passed, the Qin army's first camp was completed and the selection was soon completed.

There were enough people who voluntarily signed up. Zhang Tuo and Meng Xue chose those who had gone through the battle and had no titles to form a group of 2,000 first-camp camps.

The Qin army's military law stipulates that the soldiers who first ascend first should first register voluntarily. Only when the number of people is insufficient will the sons and son-in-law of the merchants in the army be forced to recruit.

Later generations implemented the one-child policy, married into a family with only daughters, and became a son-in-law, and life would be very prosperous. However, in the Warring States Period, being a son-in-law was a high-risk profession.

As early as the first reform of the Wei Kingdom, the State of Wei, had formulated the "Wei Hulu Law" to severely punish men who married into the family and clearly stipulate that difficult figures on the battlefield should be given priority to recruit son-in-law.

Zhang Tuo and Meng Tian didn't pay much attention to how Meng Xue selected the first-class people. As the chief general of the army, it was impossible to cover everything. He only needed to master the situation on the front line.

After the evening ate, the new moon rises at the beginning.

Meng Tian climbed up to the tower in the camp, looked up at a bright moon in the sky. His eyes crossed the walls of the military camp, crossed the city of Xinyang, and looked at the land of Jiangdong in Chu:

"According to the agreement, at this time, Gan Luo had already led his army to attack Xiang Yan's fief......"
