Phi-Fic Chapter 598
Chapter 598
The reason why he suddenly volunteered to go to the battlefield was to give his son Wang Ben an opportunity to accumulate military exploits and prestige.
Because Wang Jian knew in his heart that at his current age of nearly eighty, Ying Zheng and Ying Yu would never let him go to the battlefield, so they could push him to his son Wang Ben.
After all, with the powerful fighting power of the Qin army, coupled with the terrifying firearms and heavy artillery, it is impossible for Hannibal's Carthaginian army to resist at the current fighting level.
Not to mention Ying Yu's own tactics and strategy, this battle can be said to be a must-win, and it is completely a waste of military exploits.
Such a good fat job, Wang Jian naturally wanted to get it for his son.
"Prince, is there anyone to recommend?"
As soon as Wang Jian opened his mouth, Ying Zheng knew his purpose, and he didn't bother to talk to him, but directly threw the question to Ying Yu.
"Old General Wang Jian is getting old now, so it's better not to go into battle."
"As for the candidates, General Meng Tian is guarding Seleucus and cannot easily leave, while Han Xin also has to guard against the counterattack of the Maurya Dynasty, so he cannot move lightly."
"Therefore, my son suggested that General Wang Ben be appointed as the commander-in-chief to lead the army to support Rome."
Ying Yu replied immediately.
Wang Jian spoke up in person, all of them were from his own family, so Ying Yu naturally wouldn't refute his face.
"Okay, Wang Ben listened to the order and dispatched [-] elite soldiers from the Lantian camp, plus a firearms battalion, with enough food, grass and luggage. They will go out on time at noon tomorrow to support Rome."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ben immediately took orders and left.
Ying Zheng looked around and continued to speak:
"As for the military parade that the crown prince mentioned, the date should be set after our Daqin reinforcements come back."
"By that time, I will let all the countries in the world know how powerful the Great Qin is today!"
Ying Zheng announced his decision seriously, his face full of ambition.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers below shouted loudly, looking excited.
........
The next day, outside Xianyang city, in the camp of Lantian.
The [-] Qin soldiers either straddled their war horses or stood on flat ground. They were full of energy, fully armed, and their heavy steel armor was mighty. Their long swords and spears shone sharply in the sun shine.
It can be said that everywhere reveals the posture of today's number one army!
The Firearms Battalion, as a surprise soldier in this aid war, was guarded by many soldiers in the middle.
Considering that in addition to the necessary bows and short knives, the soldiers of the firearms battalion also have the most important firearms, which are 'grenades' similar to modern society.
Coupled with the arms experiment, it was found that only cavalry can maximize the power of firearms, so the mounts of the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion are all first-class horses.
The horses that Ying Yu equips the Firearms Battalion are not only fast, but also have a strong load-bearing capacity.
A large cowhide bag was hung around the horses of these horses, and it was stuffed full of bulging things, which were firearms separated by soft hay.
Behind the Firearms Battalion are the most elite troops of Daqin. Beside them are ten heavy artillery made of high-precision steel!
These ten heavy cannons were cast under the supervision of Ying Yu himself, and they are also the best quality heavy cannons. They have smooth cannon bodies, pitch-black holes, and special rail slots for storing shells. It looks mysterious and powerful.
It can be seen from the position of the Daqin army that Daqin attaches great importance to the two strategic weapons of firearms battalion and heavy artillery, and has given almost the most stringent protection conditions.
Because when the battle between the Qin army and Hannibal's Carthaginian army started, there was a gap between 5 horses and 15 horses. It was destined that in this war, the firearms battalion and heavy artillery were the real protagonists. .
As the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements this time, Wang Ben was sitting on a fat and strong maroon horse that looked mighty and majestic.
Wang Ben walked around the army several times, his face full of calmness and solemnity. The reason why he did this was not only to supervise and correct the military literacy and posture of the soldiers in the army, but the most important thing was to carry out the training before the army. The previous verification of the number of soldiers.
After all, as soon as they leave the gate of the camp, the army will leave Daqin and go to Rome.
Daqin soldiers are different from other countries. Under the policy vigorously promoted by Ying Yu, Daqin has begun to register every household, including soldiers.
In other words, all citizens in Daqin need to report and register their personal information to the government, indicating their current situation such as their current residence, family and relatives, etc., and it will be updated in real time.
If we don't check the number of soldiers in the army now, the soldiers of Daqin will be in a foreign country by then, and once the war breaks out, it will be difficult to count the war damage, and it will also be troublesome for Daqin's household registration.
While Wang Zhe was still checking the number of troops, Ying Zheng, Ying Yu, and all the civil and military officials had already arrived at the gate of the Lantian camp.
Soon a group of people came to the Dianjiang platform.
"Your Majesty, looking down from above, the soldiers of our Great Qin really look like dragons among men! Not only are they mighty and majestic, but they also have high fighting spirit, and they convey a kind of belief in victory."
"I have traveled around the world before, and I have served as foreign envoys several times since I became an official in the court. I have seen the armies of many countries, but in my opinion, none of them can compare with my Great Qin army!"
"Now my Great Qin's army is so powerful, I believe that my Great Qin is destined to ascend to the sky and rule the world in the future!"
Dun weakly bowed and congratulated Ying Zheng.
It is indeed a person who can stand upright on the step-by-step court for decades and still stand tall.
Even when Dunwei was shocked by Daqin's military appearance, he still did not forget to praise and bless him.
"That's right, looking at it now, my Daqin is really not what it used to be!"
"My Great Qin's army is now many times stronger than it was ten years ago!"
Seeing the Daqin army below in high spirits, like a lion descended from the sky, even Wang Jian, who had seen countless big scenes, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
As a veteran of the four dynasties, Wang Jian, a famous general of the Qin Dynasty who lived his life as a soldier, almost watched the Qin Dynasty step by step from the moment of weakness to the extremely powerful level it is now.
With the passage of time, the veterans who had fought with him in the Six Kingdoms had left the barracks.
The recruits who have not been baptized by the flames of war are worrying in terms of combat ability and psychological quality.
Fortunately, Ying Yu rose up and formulated a series of policies to improve the army's food and reform training methods. In just a few years, the soldiers of Daqin became as strong as bulls.
In addition, Ying Yu's continuous improvement and development of superb steel forging technology has allowed the armored weapons of the Daqin army to be upgraded time and time again.
Strong physique, hard armor, and invincible weapons made Daqin's army a qualitative leap.
In Wang Jian's view, with the combat power of 5 people in front of him, he could defeat the 15 Carthaginian army led by Hannibal without the cooperation of firearms battalions and heavy artillery.
Although the soldiers of Carthage were not weak, compared with the current Daqin soldiers, they were not a bit worse. The only enemy strategy that needed to be careful.
But Wang Jian was still not worried about this.
When it comes to tactics, Daqin said second, and no country in this world dares to say number one.
