"In that case, please move your palm away."

Ye Chen said calmly.

"Ok?"

Ying Zheng didn't expect the other party to make such a request, and was a little stunned for a while.

Ye Chen explained: "The king's hand just touched the horse's hoof, it's very dirty."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face darkened instantly...

"Your Majesty, you are not joking."

Ye Chen reminded the other party again.

Ying Zheng came back to his senses, not only did not show anger, but showed a gratified smile: "Sir, you are really high-minded, and you didn't make any demands. You are really extraordinary!"

"Your Majesty, I..."

Just as Ye Chen was about to say something, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng: "Sir, don't say too much, I know you don't seek fame and wealth, and don't want any rewards. I'm really moved."

Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment, and began to complain crazily in his heart.

He didn't expect that the majestic King Qin would play tricks, so what's the deal?

And it's fine if you don't agree, what the hell do you mean by rubbing your dirty hand on my clothes while you're talking...

Chapter 378 Yingzheng's Mind and Qin Army's Desperate Situation

Ying Zheng ignored the opinions in his heart, and after wiping his hands clean, he said with a smile on his face: "If it is equipped with these things, the combat power of my great Qin cavalry will be greatly increased, and we will take down Chu State." No problem!"

As he spoke, there was a gleam in his eyes.

In this era, a lot of equipment has not yet appeared, especially the lack of saddles and stirrups.So in a strict sense, there are actually no real cavalry among the countries today, but only mounted archers.

There are generally two attack methods for cavalry archers, either using bows and arrows for long-range attacks, or using long weapons to charge with the impact of the horse's high-speed running.

But the real ability to fight on horseback is actually not strong, which is also a huge flaw of cavalry archers.

Now that these two things are added, real cavalry and a new way of fighting will be formed, and flexible horse fighting can be realized.

Whether it is a long-range volley or a short-range hand-to-hand combat, there will be no shortcomings. The elite cavalry of [-] people can be interspersed back and forth among the [-] troops, galloping across the battlefield.

In this case, the well-trained [-] cavalry will not hesitate even when facing an enemy army several times the size at the same time.

However, as I said before, the number of cavalry in various countries is actually very limited. Even the most powerful state of Qin can hardly produce so many cavalry at one time.

Excluding the use in other places, the current Qin State can only mobilize about [-] cavalry, and it is impossible to use all of them to deal with Chu State.

At this time, Ye Chen gave a suggestion.

That is to select some people with certain riding and shooting skills from among the existing soldiers to fill in the cavalry.

For soldiers who already have battlefield experience, it is enough to teach their riding and archery skills and then familiarize themselves with horse fighting, which can shorten the training time again.

After all, with the saddle and stirrups, the difficulty of learning riding and shooting has been greatly reduced. It only takes a year and a half to cultivate a cavalry army.

For such a proposal, Ying Zheng also readily agreed, planning to go back as soon as he started to make arrangements.

But then he sighed again, if he had obtained these things earlier, the battle with Chu would not have been such a disastrous defeat.

Thinking of those soldiers who were trapped in Chudi, they felt a sharp pain in their hearts again...

Chu State, in a rugged mountainous area.

After the 10,000+ Qin army drove for a day, they finally took a break to stop and rest.

The soldiers looked quite embarrassed, their expressions were listless, and they looked very depressed.

After a long-distance attack, they managed to throw the Chu army behind them some distance away. Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone seized the time to eat something.

However, Chu State is now under blockade, so if he escapes like this, he will be overtaken by the pursuers sooner or later, and he will be exhausted if he does not fight to death.

The most important thing is that because of Lord Changping's rebellion, they have lost their food and grass supplies, and there is not much food and water left.

If they can't think of another way, it is estimated that in a few days, these 10,000+ people will eat the bark, and it will be a matter of time before they starve to death.

On the withered grass, a young man sat on the ground without saying a word, leaning on a long sword stained with blood.

His face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was full of grief, indignation and self-blame.

This person is the chief general of the Qin army, Li Xin.

It's just that at this time, he is no longer as confident as before, replaced by despair and powerlessness.Most of the black hair on that head has turned gray and white, and the whole person looks like a twilight.

Looking in the direction of Xianyang City, tears appeared in his eyes, his body trembled and he said: "The last general will have to bear the favor of the king, and the only way to apologize is with death!"

After the words fell, the long sword in his hand was slammed across his neck, and he was about to kill himself.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed his right arm and stopped him.

Li Xin turned his head to look, and said, "Meng Tian, ​​why do you want to stop me! 20 Great Qin soldiers were brought into the Jedi by me, what face do I have to live on?"

"General Li, we are not at the end of the ropes yet. As long as you are not dead, there will always be hope. Besides, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If you commit suicide easily, the morale of the army may really be lost!"

Meng Tian persuaded.

Hearing this, Li Xin put away his long sword, but his face was still ashamed: "Now the whole Chu land has been sealed off, and there are still 30 Chu lords behind, and they are in a desperate situation!"

Meng Tian said with a serious face: "There is a saying in the art of war, put them to death and survive, even in this situation, we may not be without strength!"

Li Xin sighed and said, "If you have any ideas, just speak up."

Meng Tian nodded and said: "According to my judgment, the current Chu State only has an army of more than 40 at most, and now there are at least 30 pursuers behind us.

Shouchun and the rest of the major cities also have to leave some troops, which means..."

Li Xin's eyes lit up slightly, and he continued: "This also means that Chu has no more troops to be placed elsewhere."

Meng Tian said: "That's right, so although there are pass barriers, we still have 10,000+ troops, as long as we work together, there may not be no hope of escape.

only……"

Having said that, he paused slightly, with some hesitation on his face.

Li Xin also understood what the other party meant, and added: "It's just that someone needs to stay behind to stop the army led by Xiang Yan and buy more time for others."

"That's right, that's all for now."
