Chapter Fourteen: Times have changed again!

In the Korean palace, the three giants Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang, and Han Fei gathered together again.

In the past four years, the three have joined forces to reform South Korea, mainly focusing on plagiarism. However, Han Fei is not a fool. He also understands the principle of localization, and many policies have been changed based on the actual situation in South Korea.

As for the military merit system and the imperial examination system, he wanted to copy it, but the nobles in the country refused to let it go, and the resistance was too great. After trying it once, and facing the consequences that might turn the whole country against them, the three of them backed down.

If the fundamental system is not changed, the past four years have been nothing more than tinkering. The biggest change is probably the aggressive militarization of a 400,000-strong army with a population of 3.2 million under the control of the royal family.

The original population was small, only 3.2 million. After removing the 400,000 troops, there were only 2.8 million left. On average, every seven people had to support one soldier.

As a result, in just four years, the people could hardly survive. Every month, people rose up in rebellion, but most of them were suppressed.

Even the so-called 400,000-strong army only has food, just two meals a day. But even so, all kinds of treatment are better than four years ago.

Four years ago, the army was treated with rice mixed with sand. Now, rice is mixed with sand. Therefore, the morale of the military is still there and the army is still under control. This is why South Korea can continue to maintain such a militancy.

reason.

"The Qin State is serious this time. This time they have no cover at all. 150,000 soldiers and 300,000 militiamen have been assembled." Zhang Liang took the lead in saying.

It is winter now. According to the rules passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, there will be no war in winter. Cotton was not widely popularized at this time. Not every soldier could be as rich as Shao Siming and could afford to wear silk stockings.

, they can’t even afford a cotton coat!

The weather is freezing and there are no cotton-padded clothes on the body. If the troops are forced to send out troops, the weather alone can weaken the army's combat effectiveness by half. There may even be more soldiers who freeze to death than those who died in battle.

So far, no other general has done this except Bai Qi, who took advantage of this to send troops in winter and achieved a great victory.

"The Qin State is really rich now. According to intelligence, even the militiamen have been issued paper armor and several new sets of clothes. If there is a long-term confrontation in the wild, our soldiers may have frozen to death before the decisive battle.

"At this point, Zhang Liang looked at Wei Zhuang.

To be honest, Wei Zhuang's mood was quite heavy.

Especially after these four years of reform, he is no longer as naive as he was before. Although he was not naive back then, and was even cruel, he is far from as cruel as he is now.

"The army has been prepared, but South Korea's national strength is too weak. Once it falls into a protracted war, it will definitely lose. Your Majesty needs to prepare early." Wei Zhuang said seriously.

"As for the Qin army's early dispatch of troops, I have already expected it. I have not been a general in vain in the past few years. South Korea has made a lot of preparations, and many places have changed from mud walls to stone walls."

"And the small town on the border has a key geographical location. It has laid out stone walls early, and there is a elite army inside just in case. Even if the Qin army comes from all over the country, it can still defend it for half a month."

In this era without cannons, a strong city wall, plus enough people's support and food, can easily defend it for several years even if it faces ten times the area.

Nowadays, there are no antibiotics and no large-scale doctors. Life is extremely fragile. Once a soldier is injured, he may die. It is too difficult not to be injured in a siege battle.

During the time of Zhao Wuxie, the ancestor of the Zhao State, the powerful ministers and nobles of the Jin State led other nobles in the country and the main force of the domestic army to besiege Zhao Wuxie's lair. The siege continued for several years without being able to capture it. In the end, it failed.

He himself also lost his support and died without a burial place!

A fortified city is difficult to attack and cannot be attacked unless absolutely necessary. This is the consensus of this era. Even in the later Three Kingdoms era, Zhuge Liang faced Chencang defended by Hao Zhao and attacked with a force of 100,000 troops, but in the end he gained nothing at all.

Thinking about Wei Zhuang, even if the Qin army's vanguard is fully committed, it will definitely not be able to defeat it. Only when the main force of the Qin army arrives can they hope to break the city.

But by that time, he had already assembled a large army and was waiting for work. When the Qin army was about to break the city or the Qin army divisions were exhausted, it was the time for the Korean army to go out.

Even if we don't win by then, we won't be defeated!

Wei Zhuang thought well, and Zhang Liang and Han Fei also felt that his strategy was sound. It was already very stable and not impulsive. After Qin lost this battle, reinforcements from the six countries would have arrived.

At that time, Qin had no choice but to withdraw its troops.

Their ideas are good, but the gap between reality and imagination is always a bit big!



"The one who gets there first has a great song!"

With a roar, Qu Da used Qinggong from the ladder and jumped three feet away. He swung the long knife in his hand and killed a circle of people.

At this moment, Qu Da was like a morning star in the dark night, dazzling incomparably. After he shouted these words, the morale of the Qin army expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Fire the arrows, fire the arrows! The archers keep their frequency and don't mess up. The others will follow me to surround and kill this person!"

On the city wall, the best soldiers from the Korean army surrounded him, and the pressure on Qu Da suddenly increased. But he was not afraid, because the armor he wore was a special steel armor of the centurion level.

The steel armor worn by ordinary soldiers only weighs twenty-five kilograms, but the armor he wears weighs fifty kilograms. Invulnerability is the minimum!

ah!

With a roar, he rushed forward and took the initiative to rush towards the place where the archers were densely packed. Below, the other Qin soldiers lowered their heads and charged forward under the rain of arrows.

The clanking sound was the result of arrows hitting the armor. The Korean army worked hard, but they couldn't break through the defense! The biggest result was, at best, leaving a mark on the armor or being inserted directly into the armor.

This is steel crushing iron!

Normally, the distance of 100 meters below the city is a line of death. Under the shroud of arrows, trying to pass this 100 meters distance requires a lot of casualties.

But today, a large group of soldiers with arrows stuck in their bodies like hedgehogs swarmed up crazily.

Seeing Qu Da's example, other soldiers also reacted. I am no longer the same person I used to be. Now I have also practiced martial arts!

"Qu Da, don't panic, Li Er is coming!"

"I, Liu San, am here too!"

One by one, the masters in the army jumped up. The five-meter-high city wall was nothing to mention under their light skills. These masters were all invulnerable and powerful. They were dancing with long swords in their hands like the king of hell.

In the same way, it harvests the lives of the Korean army and also harvests the morale of the Korean army.

After a while, all those who dared to fight among the Korean army were killed, and the Qin army also completely occupied the city wall. With a click, I don’t know who took the lead. When the first person to throw away his weapon appeared,

Like dominoes being pushed, other Korean soldiers also threw away their weapons one after another.
