Hearing Meng Yi’s words, even though Zhao Lang had asked his opponent several times before when he was going to attack, he was slightly surprised.
Asked the question.
“Shangqing Meng, this is an attack?”
To be honest, he didn’t see much of a battlefield.
Meng Yi smiled back at this time and said
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, now we have found where the opponent’s real granary is.”
“And the other side thought they had given a fake one.”
“You are again diverting Fan Zeng and Xiang’s relationship.”
“In this way, the enemy is internally suspicious of each other, our army has been prepared for a long time and has a head start, so the battle is already won!”
After hearing Meng Yi’s words, Zhao Lang could not help but nod, the other party was right.
Indeed, by doing the math now, they did have the advantage.
As expected, a great general’s gaze was always a little different.
Meng Yi went on at this point to say that
“Early tomorrow morning, I will shoot to send two thousand sinful prisoners’ troops to take advantage of the other side’s grain delivery to raid the other side’s delivery route, and use it to attract their attention.”
“After the other side has moved their troops, we will then attack from the front and take them by surprise!”
“The Chu troops on the periphery are Long Tho and Ying Bu, General Han, this is in your hands, make sure you die defending it!”
It was now considered an official military order.
It was still quite difficult, and even Zhao Lang frowned slightly.
Because the total number of Long Tho and Ying Bu’s men was over 100,000, while Han Xin’s here was only 60,000.
Even if the other side’s men were less well trained and equipped than Han Xin’s, there was still a difference in numbers.
However, Han Xin was extremely confident in his claim, and seemed to be very sure of himself.
Zhao Lang was about to say that he would leave with Han Xin, when Meng Yi said.
“This time, I would also like to ask Your Highness, the Crown Prince, to sit in the middle army!”
He could not possibly make the same mistake as Wang Li did before.
Now both for his own sake and for the sake of the whole Great Qin.
It was impossible for Meng Yi to allow Zhao Lang to take his place at the front line.
At this time, Zhao Lang could only give a faint bitter smile before nodding his head in agreement.
There were also some disadvantages to his current identity after he had more than one.
The chances of going into battle himself were becoming less and less.
It was then that Meng Yi smiled and said that
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, you can go and rest first, it will be a bit tedious here next.”
Once the army had moved, then affairs would naturally be extremely numerous.
Zhao Lang didn’t mind either, nodded his head and left the place straight away.
He himself had some things to arrange, just before he left, he asked Han Xin to go and find him afterwards.
When he returned to his tent, Zhao Lang, of course, did not rest, but said to Nu
“Send a message to the Holy Maiden, Chen Sheng and Peng Yue to take their men out on all fronts! Attack all the grain transport routes within the Chu territory and cut them off! This is a death sentence! Don’t be afraid of casualties!”
Now was a critical time, even he had to harden his heart.
It was like before, when Meng Yi had ordered two thousand sinful prisoners to raid the opponent’s grain route, which was almost like asking the opponent to die.
But he didn’t stop it either.
Zhao Lang continued to give orders at this time, saying
“Tell Dale again to have the members of the Spider Web responsible for deploying food supplies deliberately mix up the deployment of them!”
“And give all the intelligence you can.”
This battle, with over three hundred thousand soldiers on both sides combined, could not possibly be over in a day.
Then at this time, all the deployment of supplies, too, would be extremely important!
The slave hurriedly left to pass on his orders.
Zhao Lang then spoke to the big dog at one side, saying
“Get the Junior Army ready for battle, and the Peasant Army to follow Han Xin.”
At that time, when Zhao Long came from Liaodong, he brought with him five hundred juvenile bureaus and four thousand peasant troops, and they were carrying quite a lot of supplies, among which were quite a lot of black gunpowder and continuous crossbows.
All of them were extremely crucial things.
In fact, the Great Qin Craftsman’s Supervisor also made quite a few of them, but unfortunately, Old Father did not take these rebels too seriously, and those supplies were either in Xianyang or shipped to the northern border of the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu.
Otherwise, it would have taught the Chu army a good lesson about what it means to cover by fire.
Of course, what they have now is considered adequate.
Soon, Zhao Lang’s orders were all given out.
This time, he wanted Xiang Yu to know that the war had changed.
When the war started, the other side would find that the Chu army was full of enemies, both in front and behind, inside and out!
It was late in the evening when Han Xin came over to find Zhao Lang.
“Chieftain.”
Zhao Lang looked at Han Xin, who had everything ready, and without any nonsense, he said directly that
“I still have four thousand peasants here, I’ll ask Big Dog to bring them to help you.”
Han Xin at this time but smiled back, ‘
“No need chief, I have enough troops.”
Zhao Lang raised an eyebrow and said that
“Sixty thousand to fight over a hundred thousand, are you sure of that?”
Even though in his previous life, Han Xin’s prestige was great, but this was still a bit exaggerated.
This was a head-on battle against an enemy!
With similar quality, quantity is the key!
Han Xin nodded with utmost certainty and then said that
“Chief, you must not forget that I have already had Handi, Qi and Wei recruit and train many of them.”
“Including them, our strength has already exceeded 100,000 men!”
Zhao Lang frowned slightly as he heard the
“Those peasants who have only been trained for less than two months, are you sure they can be used? It’s just adding to the casualties.”
This practice, like Xiang’s recruitment of soldiers like pulling strong men, was not really fundamentally different.
Han Xin said at this point that
“Chief, do you not know the truth that mercy does not rule the army?”
“If we do not win this battle, these men will still be taken away by the Chu army, and it will be a waste of casualties!”
Zhao Lang pursed his lips slightly as he listened.
He had learnt about Han Xin’s previous way of fighting in Qi, almost as if he did not treat ordinary soldiers as human beings, not caring about casualties but only about winning and losing.
Han Xin did not press the matter either, he knew that Zhao Lang would agree.
Sure enough, Zhao Lang quickly said that
“Good, as you say.”
At once Han Xin revealed a smile, with these men he had complete certainty!
Only before his smile could fully blossom, he heard Zhao Lang once again say that
“Since they are soldiers of our army, they must also be treated exactly the same, and all those who died in battle and were wounded should have no less than the compensation they deserve.”
“Most of the compensation is naturally the responsibility of the government, but if the casualties are mostly temporary recruits of farmers, then it will be deducted from your credit!”
Hearing this, Han Xin froze for a moment, and in the end, he could only helplessly, say back that
“Yes, chief.”
Originally, he was thinking that he would sacrifice ordinary peasants to consume the other side, and then his own elites would go on.
In that case, he would have to take more trouble.
When Han Xin had left, Hu Hai, who was at the side, asked, somewhat puzzled
“Brother Long, what do you care so much about those ordinary peasants for?”
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with Han Xin’s strategy.
Zhao Lang glanced at Hu Hai and did not answer directly, but asked
“Do you want the imperial family of the Great Qin to last for a thousand generations?”
Hu Hai replied back.
“Of course I want to.”
It was only then that Zhao Lang returned with a puzzled look that
“The key to this, then, falls to these farmers.”
Hu Hai listened with his head buttoned straight up, he could not understand that these ordinary peasants could still decide them, the high and mighty royal family?
