The emergence of industries such as papermaking, coal mining, gold production, and iron smelting led to the rapid economic rise of Yan State. These factors made Yan State surpass Zhao State in military affairs. It was for this reason that Zhao State reconsidered its diplomatic relations with Qin State and accepted it Qin's benevolent diplomacy strategy

However, Qin State agreed to re-establish a new diplomatic relationship with Zhao State because Yan State turned to attack Qi State.

Qin will not let a regional hegemon appear in a region. This is also a new change in Qin's long-distance and close-attack strategy. Zhao's situation is really in line with Qin's current new situation.

If it unilaterally supports Yan State, then Yan State is likely to become a potential regional hegemony because Zhao State lags behind Yan State in terms of weapons because Zhao State does not have access to new technologies. Yan State has already shown that its weapons are advanced in a regional battle. In the absence of good generals, as long as their troops persist in training, they can defeat Zhao Jun. This is a fact.

However, if Yan State blindly attacks Zhao State and takes Zhao State down, in fact, Yan State, which may exist, can use its superiority in weapons to launch a war against Zhao State. The predicament and the biggest threat to the opponent at that time was precisely Qin State. If the current situation develops, Zhao State is likely to destroy the country, but Qin State helped Zhao State out of its own consideration.

At that time, Qin State's military focus was on the outside, especially the north and west. Qin State was also powerless to launch a fatal blow to Zhao State. If Yan State captured part of Zhao State, it was very likely that Yan State would rise to form a new regional hegemony, and Qin State Blindly supporting Yan State will also threaten the interests of Qin State. Yan State can develop northward and directly threaten Qin's newly established state, but the state's strategic space is not very large. If Yan State develops too fast, it may cause Qin State to lose its new state. The established state is also for this reason that Qin State helped Zhao State

In this way, Zhao and Yan can check and balance. At the same time, Qin also uses Zhao, a new diplomatic pawn, to check and balance the rapid development of South Korea. Although from the perspective of the current situation, South Korea is not a big threat to Qin, because South Korea has lost the largest territory. A county, Nanyang County, has been merged into the territory of Qin State

However, the country's development strategy space is narrow and military forces need to be rectified for a long time. These factors have forced South Korea to formulate a new strategic development plan. They must learn from Qin's advanced technology and advanced management to promote their own economic development.

In fact, South Korea's economic development is indeed very fast. South Korea is also the first country to introduce Qin's technology on a large scale to open factories and public education, and its people are very enthusiastic about participating in economic activities. Koreans make full use of their geographical advantages. If it develops at this level and then develops its economy, South Korea is likely to develop its military power

A piece of military information from Qin State shows that South Korea is working hard to move forward in this direction. They have begun to actively participate in all of Qin's wars. They hope to strengthen their military power by participating in these wars. Moreover, South Korea has always been generous in purchasing armaments, although in terms of quantity and scale. Not very big. At present, South Korea’s largest military strength does not exceed two infantry divisions plus a fast mobile brigade, but their weapons and equipment are well equipped with water-cooled heavy machine guns. The number of equipment is much higher than that of the Zhao army. an army to be reckoned with

However, if Zhao Guo joins in, South Korea will have to divide its forces and consider Zhao Guo's attitude. In addition, Zhao Guo's own country relies on a large amount of mineral resources for export, mainly coal. They occupy the current north of Shanxi, where there are rich coal resources, and South Korea needs it to develop its industry. These coal resources, so the relationship between Zhao Guo and South Korea is in a good relationship for the time being, as long as the coal price does not change significantly.

But the relationship between the two parties is precisely in the hands of Qin State. Qin State uses bank loans to control Zhao State's financial system. At the same time, it also uses developed financial means. If so, it can be used as the market price to hit South Korea, and the relationship between Zhao and Qin is maintained at the price of coal between Qin and Zhao.

Zhao State is the largest supplier of coal, while Qin State is the largest consumer country. South Korea is the second largest coal consumer. Trains still use coal, and coal provides power, especially boiler equipment. All kinds of factories in South Korea need such coal supply. power

It is precisely because of the above factors that Qin, South Korea, Zhao, and Yan can maintain an ally relationship. The foundation of this relationship is the complex economic relationship between countries.

But now the foundation of this economic relationship is being broken. The first to be destroyed is Yan State, and this destruction comes from Qi State.

If Qi State occupies Yan State, then Zhao State will face a strong opponent. Qi State's victory over Yan State shows that the country's military strength should not be underestimated, because Qi State's ability to defeat the opponent head-on at this important change of cold weapons and hot weapons shows that Has reached a certain advanced level in terms of weapons

If Qi State occupies Yan State, then Zhao State will have to re-examine its surroundings. Two powerful countries put Zhao State in the middle of Qi State on the east line and Qin State on the west line. online combat

Diplomatic relations are changing at any time, and Zhao State cannot defend its territory, especially the eastern front of Qi State. There are no geographical obstacles to help them defend. At the same time, they do not have so many military and weapon resources to defend.

Therefore, Zhao Guo does not want such drastic changes in their east, they want to return to the original state, it is best not to move anything.

In addition to Zhao, South Korea and South Korea have a narrow strategic space, and their military power itself is weak. There is a strong opponent in the west. If there is another powerful opponent, Qi, then South Korea will be under great pressure, especially Qi. The emergence of Qi State is likely to avoid Zhao State and launch a war against South Korea. South Korea needs to actively send volunteers to participate in the Yan State War because of its homeland defense strategy. In name, it is to exercise its military strength, but in fact it is exhausted to achieve a certain strategic goal. maximum effort

These potential factors are all Tian Heng has to consider carefully, so he suggested not to advance too much, but to stop and look at the attitudes of all parties before moving forward. This idea is very correct, because diplomatic relations may affect the front line at any time. Even if the war is won, it is forced to retreat due to the diplomatic situation

771 Trench Siege

The diplomatic situation is extremely complicated, especially the current rapid advance of the Qi army has reached the critical point of the diplomatic situation. This critical point will lead to a series of unimaginable consequences.

But these generals don't think about it. They think about how to win and rely on the victory of the war to obtain their own maximum benefits. However, the civil servant group represented by Tian Heng temporarily controlled the generals of Qi State because their biggest reality is logistical supplies. There is indeed a big problem

"Our current situation is like this. We have more than 3 troops who have entered within fifty miles of Yandu, but the supply and supplies of these troops are very bad." Wasting time, in order to hold this exhausted and unwilling army to stop as soon as possible, Tian Heng had no choice but to use the pressure of logistics supplies to stop these generals

"The rations of more than 3 troops are less than three days. In terms of ammunition, there are only more than 12 rounds of ammunition. On average, each person has at most six rounds of ammunition (note that this is not a calculation error, but it is impossible for all of the [-] troops to be combat personnel. It also includes the existence of some artillery logistics support personnel, doctors and other logistics special units) If you count the artillery shells, our artillery is even worse Our generals, can you endure your soldiers being frozen in winter?" Tian Heng asked

And the Qi generals below are speechless. Although they are eager to win, they still understand that only after the soldiers are fed and refreshed can their morale be restored, so that the soldiers can pick up their weapons and return to the battlefield. If not, go on. There is no way to win on the battlefield. The worst thing is that if it continues like this, the morale will be low, and the soldiers will flee the battlefield. If the top is in a hurry, it is very likely to cause a mutiny. It is not that there is no such situation, but they have seen too much.

The generals finally had nothing to say. Next, Tian Heng successfully persuaded the generals of Qi to stop for a temporary rectification and rest. After their morale recovers a little, they will continue to attack after hoarding a certain amount of logistics supplies.

Just when the Qi army had agreed to stop, the Qin army and the armies of various countries were in the midst of tense mobilization. The situation has quietly changed.

"All soldiers gather quickly" is in a small town in the east of Zhao State. This small town is the terminal station of Zhao State's eastern railway. Due to the slow development in the east, although the terrain here is open and good for crop cultivation, it is not rich in mineral resources. The development is slow, so there is only one railway passage here, and there is still a distance of [-] miles to the border of Yan State.

"Gather and hurry up," a sergeant major of the Zhao army shouted loudly, carrying a rear-loading rotary rifle with a magazine on his back

"Huh la la la" this is a group of people who have just stepped off the train, most of them are recruits, they have just received a 20-day military training, their knowledge is very limited, but before they go to the battlefield, they finally have a certain ability, that is, they can pull the bolt Pulling the trigger has some adaptation to the sound of the gun and nothing else

As the military director of this unit, Li Zuoche was very dissatisfied with the performance of his unit, but he couldn't do anything about it. He could only shake his head.

The queue station is a mess. If they go to the battlefield, there is no effective control. Under the concentrated firepower, these people are likely to lose control. Li Zuoche has the worst plan for this.

What's worse is that the order they received was very sudden. The three-month training was shortened again and again to two months, then it became one and a half months, and finally it became one month. For this reason, Li Zuoche only The training program can be modified, but even so, the troops were suddenly pulled up to participate in military exercises after more than 20 days of training. At this moment, Li Zuoche was very dissatisfied, but on the way they got another order, that is, their troops were reorganized. Entering the Yan Volunteer Army means that they are now going to enter the Yan State to fight. This result really surprised him.

Time is too tight. For Li Zuoche, a lot of training has not been completed. Not only the training, but also a lot of weapons and equipment have not been delivered, especially the number of machine guns. There are no weapons, let alone artillery, they have never seen it

Even the latest rifles issued to them are only more than half equipped, and some soldiers are still using the old-fashioned valve rifles. They have never accepted how to shoot the new rifles before, and even some soldiers have become accustomed to the old-fashioned rifles. There is also a strong sense of rejection towards the advanced new rifles. This is how such a team is going to the battlefield in a hurry. He doesn't know whether the generals of Zhao Guo are crazy or the one who gave the order is an absolute idiot, or it is just a layman leading them. In fact, it was Guo Kai who didn't know anything who actually gave the order to send troops. Although Li Mu objected abnormally, it was of no avail.

This is Zhao State's closest army to Yan State, but they still have [-] miles to go, apart from Zhao Army, members of the Yan Army Prince Army are currently docking at Sinjeong Railway Station in South Korea.

"Let's take a look at the new leather boots. Let's take a look, soldiers. This is a new style. You can rely on him to run back and forth on the battlefield. Maybe you can rely on him to save your life." A Korean trader held two pairs of leather boots and shouted loudly to the prince. The advance speed of the army is unusually slow, especially on the Xinzheng side.

Xinzheng is an important train transportation hub. There are a lot of people coming and going here, and the traffic is very large. Especially the train station is intertwined with the flow of goods and people. The management here is also very chaotic. The Qin people manage the train transportation, but the Koreans manage it. The right to import and export goods, the Qin people will start the car when it arrives, but the Koreans will load up the goods as much as possible to start the car, so both sides have conflicts. There is a gap in management, so after the Prince's Army arrived in Xinzheng, they stopped because no one cared how they got to the front line.

The Qin people were ordered to send them away, but the Koreans had a lot of goods to go. Shuangfa insisted, so a large number of soldiers were stranded at the train station, and so many soldiers suddenly attracted various vendors. They found that these soldiers were very rich and Everything is needed, so all kinds of cheap goods produced in South Korea are frantically pouring into the train station, and the Prince Army has also become a crazy shopping army.

Fashionable blended coats of various colors, leather boots of various trendy styles, and various delicacies have become things that soldiers are willing to consume, so Xinzheng has become even more chaotic.

The prince's army stopped at Xinzheng and stopped moving forward. Besides the active mobilization of the sky army and various aviation arms and ground troops, the Qin side mobilized not many, but the people were very enthusiastic. They all took out their weapons and clamored to rescue that place. Three hundred soldiers, but there is no specific order from Qin, and they can't act without authorization.

This is the situation of the mobilization of all parties, and on the Qi side, the Qi army finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

The "Tudu" machine gun fired three bursts, and the "Tudud" machine gun fired three bursts again. Qin's machine gunners are using bursts to kill the wounded soldiers of Qi who are still alive.

After a night of frenzied attack, the Qi army finally stopped attacking at dawn. The cost of their casualties was too high. About more than 2000 people were killed in battle, and a large number of wounded soldiers needed treatment. This number exceeded more than 3000 people, and half of them were seriously injured.

The Qi army's crazy attack overnight also achieved some results. The Qi army occupied a section of the warehouse's outer fortifications and established a certain defensive position, but the casualties were too heavy, and the Qin army also suffered certain losses. After the line shrinks, it can barely defend, but then the problem will be more serious because the two sides no longer engage in open battles. The Qi army and the Qin army can engage in close combat. The Qin army can only strengthen its guard.

"Quickly set up the barbed wire and hook the grenade rings," a Qin army sergeant ordered, and the soldiers set up a new barbed wire position and put up grenades for defense. The Qin army stepped up its guard.

As for the Qi army, they were very dissatisfied with their attack because they had not made any progress on the tower.

The runway leading to the tower is full of corpses in disorder. These corpses are all caused by machine gun fire. More than half of the casualties of the Qi army are here. There is no place to hide here, so there are heavy casualties here, and after a night of fierce fighting, Qi charged. The army did not separate the connection between the warehouse and the control tower

"We have to find a way to stop charging like this, we have to solve this problem as soon as possible," the general said with a headache

"Did you take that person's suggestion and dig a ditch to surround the Qin army?" asked a Qi army officer.

"Ditching and siege" general thought for a moment

"Yes" the officer nodded

"Okay, that's the only way." The general nodded and agreed that this is the only way at present, because the direct charge attack caused too many casualties. The general began to regret it.

After facing the huge number of casualties, the Qi army had to return to the original starting point. If they wanted to take the Qin army's position, they had to adopt a relatively stupid method, which was to dig trenches for siege.

Faced with the crazy killing of machine guns in the open area, the Qi army can only narrow this gap as much as possible.

"Sir, the Qi army has been digging trenches on the opposite side of us, and these trenches are approaching us little by little," a Qin army observation post observed.
