Southern Xinjiang Army Camp.
Ever since he followed the Qin State, Meng Ya had been studying the Qin general's military management methods, and had privately consulted Wei Qingning and others.
The current Southern Xinjiang soldiers, if nothing else, at least look much better than before. The military camp defense is also much stronger. There are people standing guard and some patrolling. They are very regular.
Moreover, these 50,000 troops are all elites selected from various tribes in southern Xinjiang. They are all young adults in their twenties. However, their weapons and equipment are a bit inferior, and it is still unclear what their true combat power is.
After this military discussion, Meng Ya had some clear understanding. The Qin army's tactics were really in place. They frequently mobilized multiple fronts to fight. The map was full of marked arrows. Each unit fought around strategic goals, but it was not their own. In the past, it was comparable to the small fights in southern Xinjiang.
As soon as he entered the big tent, deputy general Shi Kai came up to him and asked curiously: "Big chief, how about the pre-battle discussion this time?"
"I have benefited a lot." Meng Ya sighed and thought for a moment: "The Qin army focused on strategy and tactics. The Emperor of Qin set the strategic direction and then supplemented it with various tactics to achieve the final strategic goal."
"When it comes to military discussions, counselors offer advice, and all generals have their own tactics. Emperor Qin has made the final decision. This time, multiple troops were interspersed, flanking, feint attacks, blitzes, detours and other tactics were used. It can be said to be an eye-opener. "
After hearing this, Shi Kai was fascinated and couldn't help but said: "This is the real war. It's a pity that my subordinates are of low status and are not qualified to participate in the war. Otherwise, I can also gain some insights on the art of war."
Meng Ya glanced at him, nodded and said, "Shi Kai, it's very good that you have this consciousness and attitude. Next time I will find a way to ask Emperor Qin for instructions and see if I can bring you with me."
"Ah?" Shi Kai beamed with joy when he heard this: "Really, big boss!"
"Find an opportunity to ask for instructions." Meng Ya said: "You are the deputy general of our 50,000-strong army. Emperor Qin should agree."
"Thank you, Chief!" Shi Kai was immediately excited. As a general, he had reasons to be excited. Emperor Qin's military council was full of famous figures in the tent, not to mention Peng Shuang and Tang Yue. These are all battlefields, where the general's power and fame are all over the world.
Shi Kai admired Wei Qing the most. Throughout his military career, Wei Qing was invincible. He fought almost all tough battles, and his commanding ability was highly praised by Shi Kai. He was a real fan. .
After getting excited, he also asked: "Big Chief, how are we going to fight this battle? Does His Majesty the Qin Emperor have any arrangements?"
"Of course there are arrangements." Meng Ya said: "We will be responsible for providing rescue on the battlefield and cooperating with the frontline troops when necessary."
"Ah?" Shi Kai's excitement subsided and he said somewhat depressedly: "Big boss, this, isn't this just for fun?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Meng Ya cautiously.
Meng Ya was not angry and said with a smile: "What do you know? Let's just follow Qin and beat the drum. When it comes time to go to the battlefield, Emperor Qin will also give the order."
"Okay." Shi Kai said helplessly: "Then chief, do you think Qin can win this battle deployment?"
Meng Ya shook his head slightly: "Who can be 100% sure about the war?"
He paused and then said: "But Shi Kai, you have to understand that an emperor, the supreme commander of the army, leads his generals to explore the battlefield terrain, and then there are counselors who often come up with strategies, and soldiers who fight bravely, like this The army is truly a force of tigers and wolves.”
Shi Kai nodded in agreement: "The founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty is truly a monarch. With his literary skills and military strategy, no wonder he can unify the world."
"Okay, Emperor Qin will use his troops soon, and we must be well prepared. Although we are not on the front battlefield, we must not be a hindrance. Otherwise, where will we put our faces?" Meng Ya said.
"What the big leader said is that my subordinates will make arrangements right now." Shi Kaidao said.
"Wait a minute." Meng Ya stopped him and said earnestly: "You, if you have the chance, get to know and communicate with the officers of the Qin Army. The infantry captains of the Qin Army are also killed by thousands of troops. Those who come out have extremely rich combat experience, far beyond those who can boast."
"Yes, my subordinates understand." Shi Kai said seriously.
"Go ahead and pick some more clever brothers to form six brigades." Meng Ya waved his hand.
"Yes!" Shi Kai bowed and retreated.
At the same time, here in Wei Qing, he was also preparing for the battle and selecting elite soldiers.
As the commander-in-chief of his headquarters, he knew exactly which unit in the army was the best at fighting. He immediately ordered the first and seventh infantry formations, which included swordsmen, shield soldiers, crossbowmen and other types of troops. A total of 20,000 people.
The two formation captains also came with orders. After seeing Wei Qing, they cupped their fists and saluted: "General!"
"Yes." Wei Qing nodded and went straight to the point: "Go back and prepare, there is a tough battle to be fought."
"Yes!" The two of them said nothing nonsense.
Wei Qing added: "Deploy all the troops, and the crossbowmen will bring the latest powerful crossbows. Go to the military supply department and say it is my general's order."
"No!" the two of them shouted again.
After he left, Wei Qing looked at Nie Xing next to him: "By the way, Old Nie, is the general of the Sixth Formation Yue Cavalry Colonel Luo Chong? Transfer him here."
"This man is a great marksman. I remember he was praised by His Majesty once." Nie Xing said, "To detour the troops, what is the purpose of transferring him?"
"Just transfer him here," Wei Qing said.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements." Nie Xing responded and left.
Wei Qing began to pace back and forth in his military tent with his hands behind his back, naturally thinking about the battle in his mind.
To blitz the ghost army's southern front, the most critical time is actually the time to launch it.
Moreover, after the blitz, they must quickly circle north to the east of Wu Gu. During this period, they must march quickly to seize the fighter opportunity.
Therefore, they must be elites who have been on the battlefield for a long time.
The soldiers of the first and seventh formations meet this condition very well. These two troops are the best at fighting hard and vicious battles, and they have outstanding records in the entire Qin army.
At the moment, not only Wei Qing is making preparations, but also other generals. Xu Rong is even thinking of breaking through the Shabei Fortress in one go.
The participating troops of the Qin Army began to mobilize in an orderly manner.
Xiao Yuan also gave his final pre-battle instructions on the early morning of April 6th. In short, attack the ghost clan and start the battle. The first battle will be the decisive battle!
"Soldiers!"
"The evil deeds of the ghost clan are vividly visible to our eyes!"
"The hatred of the nation is still before our eyes!"
"Today is the time for revenge!"
"Destroy the ghost clan!"
"Tamper the ghost clan! Flatten the ghost clan——"
The soldiers of the Qin army below raised their swords high, made uniform movements, and shouted in unison.
Xiao Yuan pulled out the sword from his waist, and with the clear and sweet sound of unsheathing, the battle officially began.
