"Even if Su Xiu's talent and virtue are respected by the world, he is close to the people and loves the people.”
"But he will never be a good emperor.”
"As a ruler, it is most taboo to have talent and virtue, because that is what officials do.”
"From Yu Lie to Qin Shi Huang, which one of them ruled the country with benevolence and righteousness?”
"The benevolent Duke Xiang of Song has become a joke to everyone.”
Wei Liao's eyes were deep as he spoke.
"Aye."
"But does Great Qin still have a chance?”
The teenager in black was puzzled.
Facing his grandson's gaze, Wei Liao solemnly replied,"The Emperor Star is bright, and the world is bright."
"This…"
The black clothed youth seemed to want to ask something, but Wei Liao had already entered the room.
........
Two River Basin.
Ever since September 12th, when the Qin army had taken over Babylon, they had launched a series of drastic changes.
9th month, 13th day, West Hall started a massacre, cleansing Seljugu, Parthia, and the Yue clan's old grounds.
On the same day, Fa Zheng, the Minister of War, led 100,000 troops to attack the Ptolemy Dynasty together with Xue Rengui, Xie Xuan, and Li Siye.
Xu Shu, the former commander of the army, together with Di Qing, the general of the southern expedition, and Gao Changgong, the general of Lanling, led 100,000 troops to confront Daxia and Kangju.
9th month, 15th day, Western Liang General Ma Chao led 100,000 Western Liang soldiers to the Transcaucasian Mountains.
After destroying the 36 Sogdian tribes, the one million Masaktai people declared their allegiance to Great Qin.
On September 18th, General Yue Fei led 150,000 troops from the Yue family to attack the countries of Asia Minor.
At the end of September, the Yue Family Army destroyed the Galatian Kingdom and the Bentu Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Pergamon, Bithynia, the Kingdom of Macedon, and the Greek Federation formed a 400,000-strong alliance to try to resist the Qin army.
At this moment.
Outside of Konia City.
The 400,000 Pagama Coalition Army faced off against the 100,000 Yue Family Army.
The autumn wind blew, and killing intent surged.
On the Qin side, Ying Fei was observing the situation with Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and the others.
Everyone looked at the colorful army formation in the distance with solemn expressions.
The four kingdoms of Pergamon were all forces that had split from the Alexander Empire.
Especially the Macedon Kingdom, which was the birthplace of the true Alexander Empire.
It was not difficult for them to arrange the Macedonians to sweep across Europe.
What appeared in front of Ying Fei and the others was a large square formation formed by small square formations.
There were spears everywhere, like a hedgehog, making it difficult for people to bite.
"Your Highness."
"The White Treading Army had personally fought with the enemy several times and had a clear understanding of the enemy's strength.”
"The Macedonian phalanx is usually dominated by heavy infantry holding spears, followed by light shield soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and cavalry.”
"When facing an enemy, the square formation will be a right-angled triangle or a right-angled echelon, with the slope facing outwards.”
"You can surround the enemy from a certain side according to the specific needs and kill them from there.”
Yue Fei pointed at the enemies ahead and explained in detail.
"Everyone, how should our army break out of this situation?”
Ying Fei nodded slightly and looked at the Yue Family Army generals around him.
The allied army of Pergamon was not the same as the nomadic people. They were all professional armies like the Qin army, with a complete command structure and training system.
If they attacked rashly, it would only end in failure.
This was also the reason why the Yue Family Army had stopped at the gates of Konia City, unable to take a single step forward.
"Your Highness, Father."
"It's just a clay chicken and a pottery dog.”
"When I lead the Bei Wei Army to charge, the enemy will definitely be scared witless.”
A proud voice came from the side.
Everyone looked over when they heard the voice. It was a majestic-looking general carrying two hammers. If it wasn't Yue Fei's son, Yue Yun, who could it be?
"Bastard, how can you speak nonsense in front of the army?”
Hearing this, Yue Fei was furious and immediately reprimanded Yue Yun loudly.
Who knew that Ying Fei would stop him.”
"Yun 'er is right."
"These Western Barbarians are nothing but chickens and dogs. There's no need to worry too much.”
If he was facing the regular army of the Alexander Empire, he wouldn't be so arrogant.
However, these were just the remnants of the Alexander Empire.
On the surface, 400,000 people looked like a huge group, but in reality, they were strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They were not worth mentioning.
The real Macedonian phalanx was not in numbers, but in coordination.
Every spearman was a heavy-armored infantryman. Even without their spears, they were still elites.
The Macedonians in front of him were not even beggars. Even the spears were mostly simple wooden spears that were pieced together at the last minute.
How could they compare to the Yue Clan Army?
"Your Highness, you mean…"
Yue Fei frowned, somewhat puzzled.
"How many divine arm crossbows are there in the army?"
Ying Fei didn't answer him directly. Instead, he asked a new question.
"Your Highness, our army only has three divisions equipped with God Arm Crossbows.”
"There are only six thousand crossbowmen."
Yue Fei immediately reported.
The Yue Family Army's main body consisted of the front, back, left, middle, and right five divisions, plus the Bei Wei Army, which was a direct branch.
Among them, Hengjiang was the navy, Tabai and Youyi were scouts.
Only the three divisions, Feng Xuan, Sheng Jie, and Po Di, were reserves, so they were equipped with bows and crossbows.
"It's enough."
Ying Fei waved his hand, his face full of confidence.
In the past dynasties of China, the Song Dynasty was weak but had developed weapons, heavy armor, and crossbows.
Especially the God Arm Crossbow, it was made of tough mountain mulberry wood as the bow, hard sandalwood as the body, hemp as the string, and steel as the crossbow.
The maximum range was 340 steps, which was 510 meters. It was powerful enough to penetrate heavy armor.
Moreover, the bowstring of the Divine Arm Crossbow was tight and powerful, and it was equipped with a stepping mechanism.
As long as you stand on the ground and step on the machine, you can wear iron armor from 300 paces away, also known as the enemy's bow.
It was more convenient to operate than the Qin crossbow, and its weight and size were also smaller than the Qin crossbow. It could fire several or even dozens of arrows at the same time.
The Divine Arm Crossbow was an important weapon used by the Song Dynasty to deal with the Jin and Xixia cavalry.
One had to know that the Song Dynasty was more than 1200 years old. The heavy armor back then could not be compared to the heavy armor now.
In this era, who could stop its ferocity?
"Pass down my order. Six thousand crossbowmen are to gather and await orders.”
Looking into the distance, Ying Fei gave an order.
"Yes."
As a commander who had been on the battlefield for many years, how could Yue Fei not understand what Ying Fei meant?
Thus, he quickly gathered the crossbowmen and archers.
In just a short moment.
A special square formation that was independent of the Yue Clan army formation was formed.
Six thousand divine arm crossbowmen and ten thousand archers were ready to fight.
