Hearing Qin Shaojun's inquiry unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Qin Shaojun's face, which was only a few feet away.
For some reason, when he saw Qin Shaojun's trembling eyelashes, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
"Ignore me?"
After waiting for Zhao Hongrun's answer for a long time, Qin Shaojun turned his head angrily and happened to see Zhao Hongrun not far away, looking at him sideways.
Suddenly, Qin Shaojun's heart was pounding, and his face felt very hot.
Only now did he realize that the two of them were really close in their exams.
He suddenly recalled that just now, in order to compete with Zhao Hongrun for the best angle to use the telescope, the two of them were crowded together. Even when they reached a tacit understanding and chose to use the telescope at the same time peacefully, it seemed that their faces were on each other's faces.
It's so close to the face...
"You...what do you do?"
Qin Shaojun asked in a trembling tone. It looked like a question, but it sounded soft and soft, which was not in line with the decisive and domineering attitude of "buying by force will not succeed, but robbing by force" just now.
Even from an angle that Zhao Hongrun couldn't see, his left hand subconsciously grasped a corner of his robe, twisting it uneasily.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly and asked suspiciously: "Look closer, do you look like..."
Qin Shaojun took a breath intermittently to calm down his emotions, and then when Zhao Hongrun hesitated to finish the sentence, he interrupted at the right time: "Like a woman?" After saying that, he asked with a straight face and a gloomy look: "You
Is this humiliating me?"
"I just said it casually."
Zhao Hongrun quickly explained.
You must know that in this era, saying "you look like a woman" to a man is definitely the greatest humiliation.
Why does Li Huan, Minister of War of the Wei Dynasty, still have such a strong prejudice against Zhao Hongrun when the Ministry of War needs the care of the Metallurgical Bureau? That is not because three years ago, this poor old man took over from Zhao Hongrun.
He received a woman's dress as a gift and became the laughing stock of both the government and the public from then on?
Although Zhao Hongrun is now full of prejudices against Qin Shaojun and is ready to draw a clear line with him, this does not mean that he will use such a huge humiliation to offend Qin Shaojun.
In Zhao Hongrun's opinion, the young king of Qin, who was higher than the prince of the East Palace of Wei, must be a man named Ying of Qin. How could he be a female?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun explained emphatically again: "I don't mean anything else, please forgive me."
"..." Qin Shaojun stared at Zhao Hongrun for a moment, and then turned back his blushing cheeks. While peering through the telescope at the situation on the battlefield, he said lightly: "Tell me what you think of me, Qin."
Jun's comments, I will forgive you for your rudeness just now."
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun gave a thumbs up without saying a word and praised sincerely: "Tiger and Wolf Master!"
However, Qin Shaojun looked at him with an indifferent look and said lightly: "It seems that you don't want me to forgive you." As he said that, he squinted his eyes and whispered: "Based on what you just said.
Humiliation, today between you and me, perhaps only one of you is destined to leave alive, does that make sense?"
Although Zhao Hongrun wanted to say, "Let's give it a try?", looking at Qin Shaojun's inexplicably calm eyes, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if there was a voice reminding him: Don't doubt, the other party can do it to the death.
thing.
"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall..."
After comforting himself with a few words in his heart, Zhao Hongrun pondered for a while, and then summarized in detail: "Well, in general, the Qin army's tactics tend to be simple and clear, and there are not many tactical applications. They can suppress the Jie tribe with such a huge advantage.
The army is mainly due to the restraint of its arms..."
"Military type?"
"It refers to the classification of soldiers, such as Ge shield soldiers, Chang Ge cavalry, cavalry, etc."
"Oh." Qin Shaojun nodded in understanding, and after looking at Zhao Hongrun with satisfaction, he said with a half-smile: "It seems that His Highness Ji Run has already paid attention to our army in Great Qin. This is good, as it saves Yu from having to explain one by one.
.......Let’s talk about Ge Dunbing first.”
Zhao Hongrun frowned and said with a strange expression: "You don't want me to evaluate each one, do you?"
Qin Shaojun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "We finally caught the opportunity, how can we let it go so easily?"
Zhao Hongrun grinded his teeth bitterly, and then after thinking for a while, he said: "Just now the Qin army's Ge shield soldiers used a tight formation to attack the Jie slave soldiers. Let me call it the 'shield wall tactic'. This tactic
It really made my eyes light up... This man was standing next to the tight defense line, just like an iron wall."
"Where's the weakness?" Qin Shaojun was not fooled by Zhao Hongrun's compliments at all, and asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Qin Shaojun and made some calculations in his mind.
He felt that Ge Dunbing's weakness was obvious, and with Qin Shaojun's intelligence, there was no reason why he couldn't see it.
In other words, this is a test.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun said without reservation: "Shanghai, this is the weakness of Ge Dunbing."
As expected, Qin Shaojun was not surprised at all after hearing this, and said lightly: "Is this the arrow coming from above the head?"
"In fact, our Smelting Bureau's continuous crossbows can easily tear apart your defenses..."
With a bad smile in his heart, Zhao Hongrun said seriously: "That's right! The Qin State's Gedun soldiers have an indestructible defense against threats from the front, but their defense against arrows from above is very weak.
Poor... Today's Qin general is very smart and did not let the Jie tribe's cavalry go when they approached.
He released the tattooed army and denied that as long as the Jie cavalry fired a few waves, the "shield wall tactic" of the Ge shield soldiers immediately collapsed. In fact, since this tactic requires being close to people, once the defense line is broken through by the enemy, those
The Ge Shield soldiers don't even have room to counterattack. When the time comes, even if the enemy swipes his sword with his eyes closed, he can easily hit him."
"..." Qin Shaojun was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked: "Then what solution does His Highness Ji Run have to this?"
"You actually asked me?"
Zhao Hongrun looked at Qin Shaojun strangely, but finally answered his question: "Helmets, shoulder armors... Use the best quality materials to equip the Ge Shield soldiers with helmets and shoulder armors to make up for these two shortcomings."
Since Qin Shaojun took the initiative to ask, Zhao Hongrun didn't mind guiding Qin's improvements to Ge Dun soldiers to the wrong road - helmets and shoulder armors? Wei's repeated crossbows could easily shoot through Ge Dun soldiers' shields.
What effect can it play? It's just a waste of manpower and material resources.
"He actually answered?"
Qin Shaojun glanced at Zhao Hongrun with some surprise, knowing that he did not expect the latter to answer.
But having said that, Zhao Hongrun's ideas coincided with his and most of the generals in the Qin army.
But for some reason, Qin Shaojun felt inexplicably wary. He suspected that the short man in front of him might have found a more serious weakness, but he did not tell him.
"Seriously?" Qin Shaojun squinted his eyes and asked in a suspicious tone.
"Go ahead and guess. You can't even guess. The strong shield that the Ge Shield Soldier is proud of is its biggest weakness in my eyes."
With a smirk in his heart, Zhao Hongrun nodded seriously: "Of course, I'm very sincere."
"..." Qin Shaojun stared at Zhao Hongrun for a long time after hearing this. After all, he couldn't see any clues, so he changed the subject and asked: "So, where are the crossbowmen of my Great Qin?... There is no need to flatter, I just want to
Listen to the deficiencies.”
"The shortcomings..." Zhao Hongrun showed a troubled expression, shrugged and said: "The crossbow soldiers are actually what they appear on the table. When the enemy is still some distance away from you, the crossbow soldiers can
Cause considerable damage to the enemy
casualties; but if the enemy breaks in, most of the time there will be no infantry to use them... This is also true for the crossbowmen of the Wei Dynasty. I can only equip them with a short sword to prevent the enemy from breaking in.
There was no resistance at all."
Zhao Hongrun, who seemed to be saying this sincerely, would never tell Qin Shaojun the biggest shortcoming of Qin's crossbowmen - their range!
"Where are the Chang Ge soldiers?" Qin Shaojun asked again after a moment of silence.
To be honest, Zhao Hongrun was not even interested in commenting on cannon fodder in the regular army like Qin Guo Chang Ge Bing. He said casually: "Give them a small shield. It can at least increase the chance of survival on the battlefield."
Apparently Qin Shaojun also understood that the Changge soldiers were the type of troops that the Qin State used to charge into battle. He nodded and acknowledged Zhao Hongrun's words, and then changed the topic to the Tattooed Army.
When Qin Shaojun mentioned the tattooed army, Zhao Hongrun, who had just been talking eloquently, suddenly got stuck.
It's not that he didn't see the weakness of the Tattooed Army. On the contrary, the powerful Tattooed Army was full of loopholes in his eyes.
But the problem is that he was still considering a set of tactics that would attack the tattooed army's weaknesses as a breakthrough point.
For example, while the Tattooed Army men were fighting with the Jie cavalry, they stopped charging and bent down to cut off the heads of the dead Jie cavalry.
In view of this, the well-trained and disciplined Wei army can definitely defeat the Qin army.
Therefore, how to tell Qin Shaojun?
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun said vaguely in a tone that seemed to look down on the tattooed army: "It's amazing that a group of untrained peasants and soldiers can do this with just their passion... As for their weaknesses, except for one
He has nothing but fierce energy, is this considered a weakness?"
Listening to Zhao Hongrun's evasive answer, Qin Shaojun nodded with unclear meaning, and then said lightly: "Seeing that Your Highness Ji Run knows everything and points out the shortcomings of our Great Qin Army, I will no longer care about His Highness Ji Run's talents.
rude."
"Young Master is magnanimous."
Zhao Hongrun cupped his hands and was in a good mood.
After all, what he just said was to lead the Qin army into a trap. If Qin Shaojun or the generals of the Qin army really believed what he said, haha, it would be fun in the future.
At this time, the battle on the distant battlefield had ended, so Zhao Hongrun said goodbye to Qin Shaojun.
Both parties left the watchtower peacefully, one party facing west and the other east.
When they finally separated, Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun couldn't help but look back at each other, and a suspicion emerged in their hearts.
When we meet again one day, will it be on the battlefield?
Take the position of being our enemy.
When they thought of this matter, as if they had a clear understanding of each other, the originally good moods of Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun suddenly dropped.
