The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Later, Wang Jian explained some specific items to the delegates one by one. With Wang Jian's explanation, the delegates believed that their taxpayers' money was spent on the purchase of these weapons.

Reasonable. The military did not spend much more. Moreover, the military also gave detailed instructions on the personnel arrangements.

These explanations dispelled the doubts of many representatives. Although they could only accept the fact that military expenditures were too high, they were unable to reduce such huge military expenditures. On the issue of military expenditures, they were tending to a reasonable range. After all, who

I won't take my own safety for granted.

Wang Jian explained a lot at the meeting. The meeting only took a fifteen-minute break at noon, and then continued throughout the afternoon. The meeting discussed a lot of content. The subject of the content began to shift to the issue of expanding tax sources. This is a question for everyone

It seems that only taxation can solve the final problem.

The Qin State is discussing the reform of their internal taxation. The Zhao State is nervously deploying troops and purchasing new weapons. They hope to solve this problem through these.

"Our recent battle reports are very unfavorable. The progress of the infantry is too slow." Li Zuoche complained after coming out of the telegraph room. The latest battle report shows that the Zhao army's infantry has only advanced a few dozen miles. They have advanced a few dozen miles every day.

They would stop after advancing less than ten miles. Some troops returned to the ground without advancing a step. The cavalry troops that had penetrated far behind the enemy's rear were gathering their troops.

The cavalry's contact was temporarily restored. However, they also received new bad news. They lost a bridgehead position. In view of their own lack of troops, they did not restart the attack to seize the position. Fortunately,

Lingxun did them a big favor. The Qi army could not cross the river. Even if they controlled the bridgehead on the other side of the river, it was of no use.

"General, we have to find a way as soon as possible to restore the pontoon bridge on the river so that the army can withdraw." A bearded officer said with his hand.

"I know, look at those big ice blocks. We have no way to clear them away. These ice blocks make it impossible for us to build a pontoon bridge." The general of the Qi army looked helplessly at the other side of the river. The word "Qi" on the other side of the river was large.

The flag was flying alone. It seemed to indicate that there was a lone army on the other side. They could not get any help.

With efficient supplies and a good complement of soldiers, they could only wait hard for the ice to disappear, but the ice disappeared easily. The temperature in ancient times was lower than that of the same era. This led to the ice in March.

The ice also disappeared during the day and froze at night. This made many Qi soldiers very distressed.

"When will these ice cubes disappear?" Qi soldiers complained.

"I can't go back even if I want to. Those Zhao people must be trying to get us to drive us down the river." A soldier said holding his rifle.

The other soldiers would look up from time to time and look at the road home, going home, which drained away the fighting will of the Qi soldiers.

On the opposite side, Zhao Jun stood studying how to restore their original position.

"Now, we have three thousand cavalry on hand." said a brigadier general of the Zhao army. He took over the command position of the original colonel, and his troops were seriously scattered at first. When the brigadier general realized this problem, he had already

It was too late to gather his troops. Now he finally gathered a force of comparable size.

"Although we come from three different combat units, we are still the Zhao Army, and their combat command system is still there. The most important thing is that our weapons have been strengthened." The brigadier general said to all the officers present.

All the officers looked at the brigadier without saying a word.

"Based on the latest situation." Brigadier General said at this time.

"The ice blocks upstream have finished floating. It is estimated that in two days or at most three days, those ice blocks will no longer block Qi Jun's way home." The brigadier general looked at everyone and said.

"So, we must retake our lost bridgehead position within three days. We must completely block the Qi army's retreat path. Create opportunities for our infantry to annihilate all opponents." The brigadier general said at this time

said.

After hearing the news, some officers couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Sir, our combat personnel are still short of manpower." A lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"I know, so we need to arrange our manpower. Try to supplement the insufficient units with other units. In this way, we can concentrate our forces to complete our mission." The brigadier general said at this time.

"Okay." The lieutenant colonel said helplessly at this time.

"Okay, next, we will make arrangements according to our current plan." At this time, the brigadier general began to draw his own battle plan on the map.

The officers gathered around and began to study their battle plan. However, the Zhao army soldiers quietly waited for their orders.

"Do you know where the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company of the 1st Cavalry Regiment are?" Two cavalrymen led their horses and asked the soldiers resting aside.

"Third Company? We don't seem to have anyone from the Third Company?" A sergeant stood up at this time and said.

"Oh." A private said with some disappointment at this time.

"We were separated from our company," the private said at this time.

"Well, I know, a lot of troops are separated," the sergeant said.

"However, it seems that there are no people from the third company." The sergeant said at this time.

"Oh, sir." At this time, the sergeant saw their commander and shouted loudly.

"Sir, do you know where the Third Company is?" the sergeant asked at this time.

"Third company? The third company of the second battalion." A lieutenant asked holding a folder.

"Yes, sir, the third company of the second battalion." The private said at this time.

"Damn it, I just got the news. Someone sent the news that the Third Company encountered an ambush. They suffered heavy losses and their commander was also killed." The lieutenant said at this time.

"Oh, my God." The private said at this time.

"You are from the Third Company." The lieutenant looked at the two soldiers and said.

"Yes, sir." The private nodded and said.

"It's hard for you to find people from the Third Company now. Why don't you stay here with me? Our troops are also short of people. Our commander took a squad of people and disappeared on the way south. I am now

Commander here, we are short of manpower. There are only two platoons of people in one company. If you are included, we will be just eighty. Are you willing?" At this time, the lieutenant made an invitation.

The two soldiers looked at each other.

"Of course, you can also go to other troops. I have no objection. Many people are looking for their own troops now. Or, you can go to the headquarters and ask. Maybe, they will arrange your position." Lieutenant

time said.

"Okay, sir, we will fight wherever we go. We will just follow you." The private said at this time.

"Very good, private." The lieutenant stretched out his hand to shake hands at this time.

"What's your name?" the lieutenant asked.

"My name is Tao Fei," said the private.

"Well, judging by your name, it seems like you are not from our Zhao country," the lieutenant said.

"Yes, sir, I am from the Kingdom of Wei. Our family came to the Kingdom of Wei. I joined the army just to make a living." Tao Fei said.

"Very good," said the lieutenant.

"Welcome to our company." The lieutenant said at this time.

"Sergeant, I will place them in your platoon. Treat them well." The lieutenant said to the sergeant at this time.

"Yes, sir," the sergeant said.

"This is Zhao Zhong, Sergeant Zhao. They will arrange everything for you." The lieutenant introduced.

"Thank you, sir," the private said.

"Very good. I still have something to do." The lieutenant said and signaled, and then left.

And there are many things like this happening. The troops that Zhao Jun has just arrived are lacking combat units everywhere. It is no small miracle that many of their companies can get together.

Many of them don't know where their troops are. They can only passively join other people's units. They are organized in this way. And many combat units do not have enough personnel. They can gather 6%

A troop strength of about fifteen is already quite an achievement. Some companies

The team has only one platoon, and their battle order shows that they are a company. The number of people and the company's combat capabilities are seriously inconsistent. Zhao Jun needs to spend a certain amount of time to compress and temporarily reorganize their combat units. Otherwise, they will be difficult to

Effectively deploy combat troops into combat.

"The strength of the Zhao army on the opposite side has increased a lot. It seems that we are going to have a big battle." In the trenches of the Qi army on the opposite side, the soldiers of the Qi army were lazily lying in the trenches to rest. A captain

He used a telescope to check the situation of the Zhao army on the opposite side. After days of observation, he learned that the Zhao army on the opposite side had gathered more and more reinforcements. Moreover, there were a certain number of artillery among these reinforcements. These artillery would attack them.

pose a great threat.

"Nothing has been added to our side." The captain said looking at the situation on the opposite side.

"I'm afraid our position will be lost again. Whether we can take it back is still a question." The captain said to himself. The people around him were lazily waiting to go home. They did not do anything to strengthen the fortification defense.

interest. They just hope that they are the first to cross the river and go home. The rest, they don’t think about anything.
