Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Seventh North and South
Several field artillery companies supported by the Mohist family had arrived in Chendi, and the number of cavalry about 4,000 was still on the way to march.
The smaller the number, the faster the marching speed, and the artillery set out first, so it is easier to assemble with a small number.
This time, the State of Chu was not considered a gathering of famous generals, and it was mainly some nobles at the core of the King of Chu. The King of Chu did not personally command the battle, but instead handed over the full power of the battle to the Grand Sima who returned after the collapse of the talks with Wei Han.
The King of Chu still stayed in Chen to deal with the subsequent series of diplomatic straits.
Since the King of Chu chose Luyang and other directions to garrison troops to defend and not attack, it shows that the bottom line of Chu is not to want the entire territory of Zheng, but to just want the city that is crucial to Chu.
The King of Chu was still very confident about this battle against Wei and Han. The Wei and Han side could gather only 50,000 to 60,000 fields, which was about the same number as that of Chu.
But in terms of quality, there are not many elite military soldiers.
The weakest cavalry of Chu, with thousands of informal cavalry supported by the Mo family, could at least compete with the cavalry of the Wei and Han Allied Forces.
The number of field artillery soldiers is also better than that of Wei and Han with the support of the Mohist family.
The Mo family had agreed to the Chu State to send troops to Chengyang, and according to the previous agreement, they should have sent troops now. Wei and Han side definitely did not want this battle to be beyond control.
…………
The state of Chu is below Cai.
A row of cavalry was following a better road in Chu.
The Cavalry Brigade of the Captain Mi, together with the other two active cavalry brigades, serves as the main force of the cavalry to support the Chu State this time.
They set off a little later than those fewer engineers and artillery.
However, on the road from Si Shang to Xia Cai, the sancang captain Mi felt that it was not much different from marching on Si.
Although the Huaihe Line belongs to the State of Chu, the Si Shang actually has a greater influence.
The essence of Chu State is in Jianghan, while the capital of Si is in Pengcheng, so its influence on Huai and Si is naturally greater than that of the Mohist school.
Coupled with the rescue from Si Shang after the disaster that year, the cavalry felt a lot like "fooding in a pot of pulp" along the way.
In terms of logistics, it is also very easy to supply along the Huai River. The daily marching speed can be maintained at the maximum, and there is no need to use various alerts in the enemy state, and the speed of travel is extremely fast.
After passing Cai, it felt different from the feeling in the Huaihe River Basin.
Although the people still support it very much and are not afraid of the Mohist team, they eventually have many different gazes.
The sanctioned prisoner Mi has been in a good mood these days. This is not only brought by the dream of making achievements, but also because his sister surveyed and mapped maps in Chu State.
There was news before that Chu State seized many Mo people who were active in Chu State. Although the illegitimate prisoner Mi was sure that the Mo family could solve this problem, the blood was thicker than water, and he was still a little worried after all.
After he received the order to cooperate with the Chu army to punish Wei and Han, he completely let go of this concern.
Since he has cooperated with Chu, the Mo people who were detained in Chu will not be embarrassed by the Chu people, and his sister will be safe.
I was in a very good mood all the way, and everyone sang all the way. While maintaining the formation in a neat way, people would occasionally make a tune, and soon thousands of people would sing together.
The only thing is that when they pass by the Chu people's settlement or city, these cavalrymen from Si would shut up, but some people who were familiar with Chu language followed the army sang some Mohist songs.
In recent years, more and more people have been proficient in Chu language. The silence captain Mi did not know what this meant, but knew that more and more officers and cadres have begun to learn Chuyin in recent years.
In fact, since the Mohist school determined the strategy of deciding Chu and the world, this kind of training for Chu Yin has begun.
Every year, a large number of newly joined Chu people and Mo people come to Si Shang, and every year, more Mo people from Si Shang come to Chu State.
If Si Shang needs it now, at least about 8,000 Sima Chang or Cun Zheng or above who are familiar with Chuyin can be organized.
This time, some people from Chu who followed the cavalry to Chu State or those who were proficient in Chu Yin wanted to promote along the way.
It's okay along the Huai River, but once the Xia Cai passed, the local officials and doctors in Chu were afraid of the propaganda of the Mo family. The protests raised repeatedly did not go very smoothly, but they were still going on with difficulty.
