"Shall we go over and take a look?" A trainee officer on the Korean warship Xinzheng asked the captain at this time.

"No, we won't go there," the captain replied at this time.

"We still have a mission. We can't check each other's situation and don't cause unnecessary accidents." The captain said at this time.

"Yes, Captain." The trainee officer said at this time.

"Order the warship to speed up." At this time, the captain gave the order.

"We must go to sea as soon as possible before the noble navy is prepared." The captain said at this time.

"Yes, Captain." The trainee officer said at this time.

The Chu warship quietly sailed past the dock where the aristocratic navy was moored for a fierce battle three days ago. Thick smoke was emitted from the dock, and the fire burned for three days and three nights. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but Chu

The National Navy also has a medium-sized warship, but this medium-sized warship was severely damaged in this battle, and the main mast was broken. Water entered the cabin and lost power. Captain, the big

The deputy was killed in battle, and an old sailor temporarily took over his position as captain. The captain commanded the ship to be stranded near the port, and could barely maintain the battle. All other warships in the Chu navy were destroyed. Except for the large warships, which were sunk

In addition, the remaining warships all rushed in and died together with the opponent. The troops of the Chu Navy that originally went to sea to fight, after this battle, almost suffered a devastating blow.

Fifty miles away, a fleet of twelve small warships from the Chu State in Linzi was rushing here as fast as possible.

"How far are we?" This was a Chu navy general wearing an exquisite helmet who asked anxiously.

"There's still fifty miles left," a sailor reported.

"Speed ​​up, hurry up." The general said anxiously.

"The general is already the fastest," the sailor reported.

"Faster." At this time, the general shouted loudly.

In desperation, the sailors could only be ordered to carry out this order. The strength of the Chu Navy was exhausted. After learning about the unexpected battle between the noble navy and the Chu Navy, the Chu Navy conducted an emergency

Mobilize. They put all the warships that can put out water on board,

But there were only twelve small warships. In desperation, such a fleet could not care about anything. They immediately went out to fight. This was the only combat force that the Chu navy could send. Most of the Chu warships were scattered.

Outside, there are only these twelve warships in hand.

The Chu navy won the final victory in this bloody battle with great sacrifice. However, the Qin army was unusually slow in fighting in the southwest.

"What did the telegram say?" Wang Ben asked the staff while looking at the map.

"The telegram says that we should turn immediately and march toward the Qilian Mountains," the staff officer said, holding the telegram.

"Damn it." Wang Ben cursed.

"What kind of war is this?" Wang Ben threw the pencil on the map angrily.

"We have been fighting for such a long time and encountered so few enemies. We are just like those bandits fighting. We have been fighting for a long time without even a single enemy. How did we get the intelligence?" Wang Ben shouted loudly.

The staff officer looked at Wang Ben helplessly at this time.

"Sir, I think our staff probably knows nothing about the situation, or the information is extremely confusing. This is extremely detrimental to our army," the staff officer said.

"These are not problems now. The problem is, if we turn, if we turn, our logistics supplies will be solved in this way. We are all cavalry. How will we solve the problem of forage? Almost all the supplies in the Hexi Corridor have been burned by ourselves. How will we raise supplies?

"Even though we can rely on trains, are there trains in the Qilian Mountains? There are no roads on the map. The cavalry can pass, but how can supplies and vehicles pass?" Wang Ben said angrily.

"To be honest, I don't have any confidence in this battle." Wang Ben said unhappily.

As for the Qin army fighting in the Qilian Mountains, the situation entered a deadlock.

"Damn it, the food supply is also low." An army soldier said while standing in the trench. As the Qin army slowly gathered, the Qin army began to stop and form a confrontation with the highland Qiang people.

The Highland Qiang were cavalry, but their main force had already crossed the Qilian Mountains and retreated. The remaining rearguard troops harassed the Qin army from time to time, and the Qin army was all infantry. Infantry operations required full use of the terrain and at the same time relied on sufficient supplies.

.However, the Qin Army's logistical supply problems arose, which forced the Qin Army to stop and engage in confrontation with the highland Qiang people. Moreover, infantry and cavalry each have their own advantages in combat, but in terms of mobility, the infantry

Lack of sex is still serious.

"It's okay if you have food. If you don't have food, that's a problem." An army veteran said while squatting in the trench holding his rifle.

"Oh." The soldier nodded and said, and then continued to eat.

At this time, the Qin Army's logistics and transportation troops behind them were being harassed by a small group of Qiang troops from the highlands.

"Qiang people. Qiang people." A vanguard who was walking at the front shouted loudly at this time.

"Damn it." A lieutenant shouted loudly at this time.

"Surround the carriage. Everyone fight. Quick." The lieutenant shouted loudly at this time.

"Bang." The lieutenant had just finished shouting, and the battle had already begun.

"Bang. Bang." The soldiers quickly picked up their rifles and started shooting.

"Oh oh oh." The Qiang cavalry approaching quickly from a distance was charging towards this side.

"Bang." There was a sound of rifle shooting.

"Ah." A Qiang cavalry fell off his horse.

A Qin soldier hit the opponent accurately. However, at this time, an arrow flew over.

"Poof." The arrow shot directly into the shoulder of the Qin soldier.

The soldier immediately withdrew from the battle.

"Bang bang bang." The lieutenant stood on the horse and fired continuously with his pistol.

"Poof." "Ah." At this moment, the lieutenant's arm holding the pistol was chopped off by a Qiang cavalry who rushed over. Blood poured out of the lieutenant's arm. The lieutenant shouted loudly.

"Retreat. We have too few people." A sergeant shouted loudly at this time. However, there were a lot of supplies on the baggage troops, but their number was very small. The number of troops escorting the supplies was only one platoon, and they

The supplies provided were enough for a battalion. Their tasks were extremely heavy.

"I can't withstand such a fierce attack." The sergeant retreated while fighting at this time.

"We must retreat." At this time, the sergeant said.

"But what to do with these supplies?" a private asked at this time.

"Burn it. You must not leave it to the other party." The sergeant said at this time.

"Crack." At this moment, the sergeant immediately took out a grenade.

"Retreat. The grenade is going to explode." The sergeant picked up his rifle and retreated quickly.

"Retreat." The private immediately retreated at this time.

"Bang." "Bang." The sergeant kept retreating. Seeing the veterans retreating on their own initiative, the other soldiers took the initiative to retreat at this time. The infantrymen who were escorting supplies in logistics were unable to resist the cavalry. The infantrymen could only take the initiative.

retreat. Then carry out constant harassment, and then establish a fixed line of defense. The supplies can only be destroyed in this way. It is very difficult to transport logistical supplies. To unload these supplies from the railway station, we can only rely on some four-wheeled carriages to transport them.

carriage on road

The requirements are very high. But after traveling a certain distance, the carriage can no longer move forward. The materials on the carriage must be unloaded again, and then the obsolete two-wheeled carriage can be used. The two-wheeled carriage is very adaptable to the road ahead.

Therefore, the Qin army had to use these carriages, but they carried out continuous replacement and transportation in the middle. In this way, the logistics supplies were kept at home. In addition, the Qiang cavalry penetrated in and harassed the Qin army, which caused the Qin army's logistics supplies to become increasingly scarce.

difficulty.

The reason why the Qin Army was able to win the battle relied on sufficient logistical supplies. But now, the road conditions of the Qin State and various situations occurred, which directly caused the Qin Army's combat operations to be extremely slow. Such operations would have a negative impact on the Qin Army.

For the military, it is a big difficulty.

"Your Majesty, the reason why our army is operating extremely slowly in the southwest is because our roads are in very poor condition. The poor conditions of these roads have directly affected our logistics supply situation. Without smooth logistics supply, it is extremely detrimental to our army's operations.

It's disadvantageous." At this time, Shangwen said to the king.

"Well, our army's disadvantage in combat turned out to be a logistical problem." King Qin said at this time.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Our army's logistics supply is extremely difficult. Especially, this battle is in the Qilian Mountains. There is no development zone of economic value to anyone in that area. Our infrastructure there is very weak. In fact,

There are no public facilities there at all. Our army's logistics and supply operations can quickly capture the Western Region, the North, and other places, relying on our army's developed transportation system. However, the area where we are currently fighting does not have any

Infrastructure." Naofumi shook his head and said.

"Yes." King Qin nodded in approval at this time.

"Is this why the Prime Minister keeps cutting military expenditures and using the saved money on these things?" King Qin said at this time.

"Yes." Naofumi nodded affirmatively.

"Infrastructure and military facilities can no longer be clearly distinguished. The more advanced the war, the more war becomes like this." Naofumi said at this time.

"Military facilities can directly solve the Qin Army's combat problems, but civilian facilities can solve the problem of war potential. What the Qin Army needs to do now is to stop large-scale combat operations. Use the saved war expenses on the problem of war potential.

On development." Shang Wen looked at King Qin and said.

"Is it necessary for Qin State to do this now? King Qin asked Shangwen at this time.
