The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Brothers of the Qi Army on the Eastern Front, your king has been captured by us. Linzi City is about to be captured. You must surrender quickly." A Chu Army soldier shouted at the top of his voice.

.

"Surrender. Stop fighting. Your life is yours. Your king has surrendered." The Chu soldiers shouted loudly.

On the Eastern Front battlefield that entered a state of confrontation. Neither the Chu army nor the Qi army could expel the other. During this period, except for the more brilliant air combat, the rest came to a standstill. The morale of the soldiers on both sides was gradually declining.

.

"Surrender, brothers of the Qi army. Your king has been captured by us. The country of Qi no longer exists. You don't have to work hard for him." Whatever the soldiers of the Chu army think of, the Chu army hopes that through such a slogan

, disintegrating the morale of the Qi army.

In the trenches of the Qi army, more and more trenches were dug on both sides. The trenches were dug deeper and deeper. The role of artillery was getting smaller and smaller. Because the artillery was not powerful enough to destroy the trenches.

"Our king has been captured. Is this true?" After hearing the news, a second-class soldier of the Qi Army asked a veteran on the side in panic.

"Bah." The veteran was whittling a piece of wood with a knife. After hearing such a question, he immediately spat.

"Do you believe it?" the veteran said disdainfully.

"No. I don't really believe it." The soldier said at this time.

"That's right." said the veteran.

"Besides, the King of Qi will arrest him. Our allegiance is to Tian Heng. This is our lord, Your Majesty, the King of Qi. The King of Qi will not pay us a penny, nor will he give us a little food.

Eat. These are all given by our lord, Tian Heng. Remember this." The veteran looked at the private and said.

"Oh." The private looked at the veteran in horror, because the veteran gestured with the knife in his hand. The soldier had seen it with his own eyes. The veteran used the knife in his hand to slit the throat of the Chu soldier, and he seemed to see his own throat being cut.

It's the same as cutting it open.

The Qi Army was a new army that was all organized according to the Qin State. It also adopted military pay. The military pay came from Tian Heng, and the financial resources of the Tian family supported the daily expenses of this huge army.

You know, in the old army, soldiers were not paid at all, and being in charge of food was the biggest guarantee. Soldiers were rewarded when they won the war, but most of the fruits of victory were the business of nobles and officers, and ordinary soldiers had nothing to do with it.

Can't get it. But now, war model

military style, as well as the reform of the military system. These soldiers have received actual benefits. And the soldiers who have received actual benefits will only take into account the people who pay them military salaries. In fact, this is an employment system. After the soldiers get the money, they

They will show loyalty to the employer who distributes the money.

Under the reinforcement of such a system, the Qi soldiers on the Eastern Front did not react much to the news of capturing the King of Qi. This is because most of the soldiers in Tian Heng's hands came from the bottom, and soldiers from the bottom had no influence on the core power level of the aristocracy.

The distance is very far and the centrifugal force is very strong. They don't care much about the affairs of the nobility. What they care about is their own immediate interests. As long as Tian Heng continues to pay military salary, they will not care about anything.

Therefore, the Qi army on the Eastern Front did not react too strongly to this incident. Many soldiers just smiled and passed it by, and they continued their lives of confrontation.

Inside Linzi City, the Qi army was divided into two groups.

"The king has been captured. It is meaningless for us to continue to resist. Moreover, Linzi lacks food and drink. If we continue to fight here, we will die sooner or later. I decided to go north to find our people and continue to fight.

Get down." A Qi Army lieutenant said.

"I'll go with you." A sergeant raised his injured arm.

"Now the king has been captured. Can we leave?" the lieutenant colonel said to the east coast.

"We should stay," the lieutenant colonel said.

"No, I want to leave. There is no point here anymore. We are guarding an empty city, and there are only noble men in the city. We will not sacrifice our lives for the noble men. Look at those noble men. They don't have to fight, and we don't have enough to eat.

, but what they eat is meat. These people deserve to die," the lieutenant said harshly.

The lower-level officers of the Qi Army all come from the bottom, and they are all promoted from the bottom. They are very disgusted with the behavior of the nobles. They also have no feelings for the practices of the nobles. Under such circumstances, they very much hope that their subordinates will

People leave here to find their team. As long as they find their team, they can get supplies and

They got the military pay they wanted and worked for the noble lord, but they got nothing. After several months of perseverance, they were completely disappointed in the noble lord. Especially after King Qi was arrested, the morale of the soldiers suddenly dropped a lot.

Some dissatisfied soldiers believed that the King of Qi should be killed by the Chu army. Anyway, they had no feelings for their king.

"You should listen to my orders." The lieutenant colonel shouted loudly.

"No. The soldier is mine." The lieutenant looked at the lieutenant colonel and said. Then he took out his pistol with a clatter.

"Crack." There was a sound. The lieutenant himself also took out his pistol. The sergeant on the side had difficulty with his arms, but he still held up his rifle. The two sides faced off at gunpoint.

"My people, listen to me." The lieutenant looked at the lieutenant colonel and said. The lieutenant colonel had nothing to do about it. Because these officers controlled the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, and many officers and soldiers listened to them. Because they were middle-level officers, they had no control over the grassroots soldiers.

There is a serious lack of control.

Middle-level officers are because they belong to the middle-level. In addition, there are not many high-level officers in the Qi Army, and many high-level officers cannot fully control the troops, because the troop numbers on the Western Front are very messy. The recruitment of soldiers and supplies are almost single-handedly controlled by junior officers.

Coupled with the continuous retreat of the Qi army, the chaos caused by the lower-level officers of the Qi army increased their control, while the middle-level and senior officers were unable to control their soldiers because sometimes they did not even know how many people they had under their command. In this way

Come on, bottom

It is difficult for officers' ideas to influence the middle-level officers. But middle-level officers also have their own ideas. Because they are in a special position, especially a transitional position, they want to enter the aristocratic class. In their view, only by entering this class can they achieve permanent success.

Glory and wealth. But the lower-level officers and soldiers didn't think so. What they wanted was vested interests. They didn't have any hope for the nobility. The disparity led to this situation. Under such circumstances, the Qi army was divided.

serious.

"Okay. You take your own people and leave here. I will never stop you." The lieutenant colonel said.

After all, the other party has a lot of manpower. The lieutenant colonel could only agree reluctantly.

"We will find our own way out of here. Linzi, we will not defend it any longer." The lieutenant continued. The lieutenant colonel just looked at each other coldly.

Outside Linzi City, on the Chu Army's position, the Chu Army soldiers were waiting for the Qi Army's movements in the city, and they began to relax. They believed that they had captured the King of Qi, and that the surrender of the Qi Army would not be far away.

A mining area in the Zhongshan area of ​​Zhao State.

"You think this, this mining area, can be taken down?" The speaker was an old nobleman, his name is Zhao Ping. This time he led 3,000 private soldiers of nobles assembled by large and small nobles to quell the riot in a mine in the Zhongshan area.

Miners. There are more than 20,000 miners here plus their families. And

, and nearly a thousand regular troops of the Zhao Army joined them. There was a large amount of gunpowder in the mine. Although there were many guns, there was a lot of gunpowder. The nobles also organized manpower to attack, and they were blown up by the explosives.

.Many private soldiers of the nobles have lingering fears and dare not come to quell the rebellion.

"My lord, we have cannons." A general stepped forward and replied hesitantly.

"Oh." Zhao Ping heard his general reply. He felt even more uneasy because he did not have the advantage in numbers. The opponent had more than 20,000 people and a thousand well-trained soldiers. Those

Soldiers have all fought in wars. But very few of his subordinates have fought in wars. He knows best what they usually do.

"Well, let's give it a try. After all, we still have cannons. Cannons. They don't have this weapon." Zhao Ping comforted himself.

"With this cannon, maybe they will surrender with this blast." Zhao Ping comforted himself and said.

"Yes, my lord." The general on the side said quickly.

"Well, get ready and start the artillery bombardment." Zhao Ping gave the order.

"My lord has an order. Prepare to fire." The general shouted loudly. The noble private soldiers quickly mobilized their artillery units and set up their positions.

Although the number of noble private soldiers is small, they have a lot of artillery. There are a total of forty-five artillery pieces. Such a large number of artillery pieces is already very large.

"Aim." The gunners of the noble private soldiers pushed the cannons to the emplacements one after another, and pointed the muzzles at the mine.

In the mine, a Zhao Jun soldier ran over shouting loudly.

"It's not good. There are artillery troops below." Zhao Jun soldiers shouted loudly. These soldiers who have fought in the war know very well how powerful the artillery is. The artillery shells fly over and everything can be interrupted. People simply cannot

Can't stop it.

"Don't panic." A colonel officer shouted loudly. Then he continued to pick up his telescope to look at the artillery positions of the noble army.

"Everyone is hiding in the tunnel. Don't show your head, those shells can't hit us." The colonel shouted loudly. As for the cannon, he knew the power of the cannon very well. The infantry is the most afraid of the arms. Sometimes one cannonball can hit us all at once.

Killing a company will cost soldiers casualties very high. Ridiculously high.

"Damn, there are so many cannons. More than forty cannons." The colonel put down the telescope, then thought about it, and picked up the telescope again to look.
