"These **** ethnic minorities have contained a lot of our military strength. Moreover, our military strength is already tense. If this continues, it will be very unfavorable for us." Wang Jian pointed out the problem directly.

But the staff at the back had no way to deal with these matters. Because these forces must be used in the direction of the Hexi Corridor. Forces are not only used for calling. And how to distribute. These are their concerns. Regarding the long-term issues considered by Wang Jian. They can't take care of it now.

"The Third Infantry Regiment of the Marine Corps has arrived at the railway station on the bank of the Yellow River in the Hexi Corridor. Will we let them disperse and attack?" A staff officer asked eagerly at this time.

"En." Wang Jian looked at the telegram and said.

"Let them start the battle appropriately according to the reconnaissance situation. In addition, the troops that arrive later will join the battle one after another." Wang Jian instructed.

"Yes. Sir," the staff officer said with a telegram.

At the railway station in a small town on the edge of the Yellow River. The Marine Corps soldiers who had just come down from the railway station were crowding on the platform of the railway station. Some military officers are taking these soldiers away.

"Third infantry company. Assemble. We are going to the east side of the train station to deploy defense. Hurry up." a captain shouted loudly.

"Everyone gathers." A sergeant chief shouted loudly at this time.

"Beep beep. Beep beep." The sound of the bugle urged the soldiers to gather quickly.

"Are we going to fight now?" a lieutenant asked at this time.

"No. We need to deploy defenses. Wait for the main force to arrive. There is no order for us to start the battle." said the captain.

"In short, the defense is not wrong. By the way. Order our reconnaissance platoon. Immediately send a man to scout the surrounding situation. We need to know the situation of our enemy to take action." The captain said.

"Expand the troops." This time. Said the captain.

"It's the sir," the lieutenant said. Immediately, he took his platoon into a defensive stance.

On the Eastern Front. Inside Li Mu's headquarters.

"Isn't Qin Jun's liaison machine responding yet?" At this time. Li Mu asked.

"Yes. Sir. They want us to explain the purpose." A lieutenant colonel's staff replied.

"Then tell them. We need to deliver urgent written documents. Just tell them directly that we need to carry a Qi country courier to deliver orders." Li Mu said directly at this time.

"Sir, will Qin Jun agree to this?" The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"En. Just say it directly. Only in this way, Qin will not have any requirements." Li Mu said.

"Yes. Sir," the staff officer said. The staff officer immediately sent a telegram.

"Be careful. If we get the attention of the people of Qi, we will be in trouble." A Zhao Jun soldier wrapped in linen clothed his entire body and said in a low voice.

And another soldier in the same costume nodded at this moment. Signed to understand. The two of them are in a group and are approaching Qi Jun's position carefully. They need to find out the situation of each other.

The captain who received the report immediately reported the situation to the lieutenant colonel battalion commander. The battalion commander decided to take a reconnaissance operation. Only reconnaissance can know what happened.

"Qi people didn't find it." At this time. Said a soldier of Zhao Jun lying in the front.

"We are in hiding for the time being," another soldier said.

"Okay." The soldier in front stood up quickly at this time. He lowered his body and ran to a large rock to hide.

And the other soldier in front of the soldier completed that operation. Also quickly approached the stone to hide. Zhao Jun’s front-line reconnaissance activities usually have different scales. The small-scale reconnaissance activity is completed by two soldiers, who need to wrap the whole body in linen cloth. Because the color of hemp is similar to the color of the earth. There is a good camouflage effect. Therefore, they used linen cloth for camouflage. Such tricks are not only used by Zhao Jun. Qi Jun is also using the same trick to pretend to be close to Zhao Jun.

"Qi Jun should have reacted. He has reached such a short distance." This time. Said the soldier who just ran in. Because this stone was only thirty steps away from the front of Qi Jun's position. The distance of thirty steps is enough for the opponent to shoot himself accurately.

"Yeah. This distance. It's a group of people, no need to aim. They can hit us right. Are all the Qi people gone?" The soldier who hid early said at this time.

"Are you all gone?" the soldier who came in said at this time.

"Yes. Only when there is no one. You can treat us like this." At this time, the soldier said his opinion.

"I don't know. Only by reconnaissance can we know the situation." This time. Said the soldier who came in later.

"Go ahead." The soldier who was advancing at this time said.

immediately. The soldier behind immediately jumped out of the stone. Quickly launch reconnaissance activities on the front lines of the Qi army.

"Huhu." The backward soldiers marched forward desperately, without stopping in the middle. The soldier at the back looked silly holding his rifle at this time.

"Oh my God." The lieutenant who was looking at the reconnaissance situation in the distance called out in surprise at this moment.

"He's crazy. This is suicide." The lieutenant exclaimed anxiously.

"Sir." A soldier shouted at this time.

"Everyone is ready, we are going to fire." This time. The lieutenant called out loudly at this time.

"Boom." A cry. The soldier who was investigating suddenly jumped into the trenches of the Qi army.

"Sir. Our scout has entered the trench." This time. A soldier said loudly to the lieutenant.

"What?" This time. The lieutenant immediately picked up the telescope to check the situation.

The scout who followed up looked at the scout who ran into the opponent's trench first in surprise at this time.

"Are you crazy?" This time. The scout who later showed off said at this time.

"Hi. No one. There is no one on the Qi Jun position." At this time. The soldier shouted loudly. He waved the rifle in his hand and said.

"The soldier is waving at us." This time. The soldier shouted loudly.

"There should be no one on the Qi army position. Order one of our infantry squad. Prepare to charge up. Check the situation." At this time the lieutenant said.

"Sir. Acting like this without authorization. Are we going to..." A second lieutenant said respectfully at this time.

"Don't worry. Let's start the operation." The lieutenant said at this time.

"If allowed, I will order my platoon to rush up quickly." The lieutenant said at this time.

The second lieutenant on the side was very surprised when he heard the news.

"Hurry up," the lieutenant said at this time. The action was launched immediately.

"Kill." Soon, a squad of Zhao Jun infantrymen quickly rushed forward with a bayonet-mounted rifle.

quickly. Zhao Jun's flag finally flew on the 322 high ground.

"Very good. We finally occupied the high ground." The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

Immediately, a platoon of Zhao Jun was marching towards that high ground.

But soon the lieutenant colonel reported what had happened here to Li Mu.

"Sir. There are no more people on the Qi army's position." At this time. The front-line battalion commander quickly ran to report the news to Li Mu.

"What?" Li Mu was surprised.

"Our army just occupied the 322 highland of the Qi army." This time. Said the battalion commander.

"You say it again." Li Mu asked with confirmation at this time.

"Our army just occupied the 322 highland. The Qi army position is empty." The lieutenant colonel emphasized the situation of the Qi army position at this time.

"There is no one?" Li Mu asked at this time.

"Yes. There is no one." This time. Li Mu asked again.

"En. It seems that the Qi army has retreated." This time. Li Mu said.

"Our army continues to maintain a defensive state." Li Mu said at this time.

"For Highland 322. We immediately withdraw. We are fully defensive." Li Mu said at this time.

"Sir," a senior colonel on the side called anxiously.

And Li Mu raised his hand at this time. Signaled it not to continue.

"I know what you mean. What you mean is to let us press it all the way up. Right." This time. Li Mu said.

"Yes, sir." The colonel on the side of the staff nodded and said at this time.

"I understand. But, have you ever thought about it. We are at this time. Pressing on the whole line will reignite the ceasefire that we are so hard to reach. This situation is very unfavorable for us. You know?" At this time. Li Mu said.

"Besides, we are soldiers. Soldiers should abide by their own discipline and honor." Li Mu said at this time.

"Let our people retreat back." This time. Li Mu said.

"Yes. Sir," said the colonel's staff.

And Qi Jun on the opposite side. Reported what they saw.

"Lord. Zhao Jun once captured our army's position in the afternoon, but soon they retreated. And kept their battle lines still." At this time, a counselor said to Tian Heng on the carriage.

"En." Tian Hengen thought about this question in a loud voice.

"Has Zhao Jun pressed over?" Tian Heng asked at this time.

"No." The counselor replied at this time.

"En. It's fine if it doesn't." Tian Heng said at this time.

"Retreat our guards back." This time. Tian Heng said.

"My lord, our army retreats like this. Will Zhao Jun not press on the whole line?" At this time. The counselor on the side asked.

"Didn't you see the situation?" Tian Heng said at this time. In this regard, he never said anything. In fact, Zhao Jun occupied the position of Qi Jun. Then quickly retreated back.

Occupying positions and giving up positions have become one thing. Li Mu is very clear. The war is over for Zhao Jun.

And the Celestial Army on the Qin State Base on the other side. It's difficult at this time.

"Sir, look at this. Zhao Jun sent it." This time. A lieutenant said with a telegram at this time.

"What's the situation?" the lieutenant colonel asked at this time.

"Zhao Jun needs a liaison machine. The sooner the better. They have to transport a Qi country courier to the river." At this time. Said the lieutenant.

"En." The lieutenant colonel looked at the telegram at this time and agreed.

"This situation has to be reported to the General Staff. This matter is very tricky. It's **** tricky." At this time. Said the lieutenant colonel. He then forwarded the telegram request to the staff.

Inside the Xianyang Staff Headquarters.

"How is the current troop strength achieved?" Wang Jian asked while sitting in the headquarters.

"Only less than three infantry regiments arrived. One to the west. One to the east. There were also sporadic battalion companies arriving." At this time. Yang Duanhe said.

"These forces cannot solve our current situation for the time being," Wang Jian said at this time.

"We still need more troops." Yang Duanhe said.

"Yes. A lot." Wang Jian said while looking at the sand table.

"Sir." At this moment, a lieutenant ran over.

"A telegram from the heavenly army." This time. Said the lieutenant.

"En." This time. Wang Jian took the telegram and said.

"Let me see what happened?" This time. Wang Jian looked at the telegram and said.

"Oh my God. Zhao Jun unexpectedly found a liaison machine to send a messenger from Qi Jun to the river to deliver a ceasefire order." At this time. Wang Jian said.

"Let me see." This time. Wang Jian said.

Yang Duanhe took the telegram and said at this time.

"This matter has exceeded our authority, we should show this telegram to the king." Wang Jian said.

"It seems that the ceasefire between the people of Zhao and Qi is smooth." Yang Duanhe said at this time.

"Yes." This time. Wang Jian said.

"They ceased fire." Wang Jian said at this time.

"But our troubles have not been resolved." Yang Duanhe said.

"Leave it to the king to decide on this matter." At this time. Wang Jian said. Then he handed a telegram to Yang Duanhe.

In the Palace of the King of Qin, King Qin paid great attention to the progress of the war in the Hexi Corridor. Because this is the position of Qin's throat, if it is cut off by the Qiang people. Qin will lose the entire Western Regions. The situation in the Western Regions will be bad. It's not just that the Qin Army Corps has problems there. There is also the transportation of gold and other resources in the Western Regions. It will be difficult for Qin State.

"Prince King. Zhao Jun sent a telegram." This time. Zhao Gao said with a telegram.

"Come here. Take a look." King Qin said, reaching out for a telegram.

"En. Zhao Jun also wants a liaison machine to tell the widow." King Qin said impatiently.

"Tell Wang Jian, give it to them." At this time, King Qin said directly.

"Here." Zhao Gao replied directly at this time.

quickly. The order was passed to Wang Jian.

"It seems that sending an airplane is not a big problem." This time. Wang Jian said.

Immediately this order was forwarded to the Qin State's Air Force flying base stationed in Yan State.

"The king personally ordered." This time. An ensign took a telegram and handed it to the lieutenant colonel.

The lieutenant colonel glanced at the telegram and then checked the contents.

"Oh. Order let us send a plane." This time. Said the lieutenant colonel.

"How to execute this order." This time. Said the lieutenant colonel.

"There are only two people in the liaison machine, one pilot, and one Chinese citizen. We only have less than five minutes to reach the sky, and the situation on the battlefield is very complicated." At this time. Said the lieutenant colonel.

"Could it be that let us throw the Qi people down." said the lieutenant colonel.

"Sir. We can make Qi people parachuting." The ensign said.

"Not anyone can skydive," said the lieutenant colonel.

"We teach. He also has to learn. Time. I don't think the people of Zhao will wait. They are eager for us to throw the people of Qi." This time. Said the lieutenant colonel.

"We must let one of our pilots land the plane on the battlefield." The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

"Oh. God." The ensign said at this time.

"In that case, our pilots are safe. Just." This time. Said the ensign.

"I know what you said." This time. Said the lieutenant colonel.

"But we need to do this," the lieutenant colonel said.

"I will tell the pilots. This is an order." The lieutenant colonel said at this time.

The pilot's business is okay. But how to ensure that the pilot comes back safely. It becomes a big problem. Qin Jun had already captured several pilots. These problems remain unresolved.

Qin Jun currently does not want to lose any more personnel.

On the southern ocean. The battle is quietly changing. However, this time, Chu's navy made a new discovery.

"Due to the south. About twelve miles away. A merchant ship." At this time, a lookout on the mast shouted loudly.

"What?" the first officer said at this time.

At this time, the captain picked up the telescope to check the situation.

"Damn it. I finally found the target. We are all going crazy on this **** ocean." At this time, the captain looked at the target with a telescope. He finally saw the white canvas and the brown hull. There are still patches on the canvas on the ship. Although it doesn't look great, everything looks so beautiful.

"We finally found this thing." The captain said very excitedly.

"Zuo Man Ruo. At maximum speed, catch up with that ship. Kill it." The captain exclaimed excitedly at this time.

"Everyone, enter the combat post. Kill." The first officer conveyed the captain's order.

"Kill," the sailors exclaimed excitedly.

And on that merchant ship. The observation post also spotted the Chu State Navy who was approaching quickly.

"True north. There is a ship coming towards us from the true north." A man lying on the mast shouted loudly.

"What?" The captain at the helm shouted in surprise at this time.

"You come to steer." As he said, the captain handed the rudder to a sailor on the side. Then take out the monoculars to check the situation.

"Don't let them come over. We are heading west. There is one of our strongholds. We need to get to the shore quickly." This time. The captain gave an urgent order.

"Speed ​​up. Hurry up. Use oars fast." This time. The captain turned his head and shouted to everyone. He is very clear. The other side leaned over. It can only be explained that it is a pirate ship. Because there is no unprovoked ship that will approach it on its own initiative.

"Hurry up," the captain yelled. Instruct his subordinates to complete these tasks as soon as possible.

"Quick. Quick." His subordinates finished their work quickly at this time.

The sailors nervously propped up their sails. At the same time some people picked up the oars and began to slide. Although it didn't get much kinetic energy. But they want to be able to row their boats quickly.

But their ship is too heavy. There are too many things on the ship. Most of them are slaves. They are all captured Vietnamese slaves. They will be trafficked to the south of Qin State.

"Get close to them quickly." At this time, the navy warship going abroad quickly approached.

"Are we firing a gun?" the first officer asked at this time.

"No. Wait and see." This time. The captain of Chu's navy said.

"We have to wait." The captain said at this time.

"We need to get closer," the captain said at this time.

"This distance. We can only wound the ship. We can't capture them. This is our first goal on the ocean. It has been seven days. We have done nothing." The captain said anxiously. In an eager mood, he needs military exploits to complete his merits.

Heavy merchant ships are not the power of specially built armed warships at all.

"That ship was driving too fast," the man on the mast shouted.

Merchant ship captain this time. Quickly picked up the telescope to check the situation.

"Oh my God." This time. Said the captain.

"Too fast, this is definitely not an ordinary pirate. They came too fast." This time. Said the captain.

"How far are we?" the captain shouted.

"It's still twenty miles away." The first officer said at this time.

"Quick." The captain said when he heard the answer.

"Fire." The captain of the warship ordered at this time.

"Let it go." The first officer called to the gunner at this time.

"Boom." A loud voice rang. A cannon in the bow aimed at the opponent. Then it fired quickly.

"Artillery." The people on the mast saw a loud noise coming from the other party. And there was gunpowder smoke rising.

"Artillery," the man shouted.

"Woo" this time. The shells whizzed and flew quickly at this time.

"Boom." There was a loud voice. Fall in the middle of the ocean. The shell fell into the sea. Splashed sea pillars.

"Damn it. They have cannons." This time. Shouted the merchant ship.

"Quickly retreat." This time. The captain said loudly.

"Damn it. You missed it." This time. Said the captain of the warship.

"Sorry." The first officer said at this time.

"Captain. Look over there." This time. The chief mate pointed to the coastline not far away and said.

"They have to lean over there." This time. The chief mate said.

"Don't worry about them. We just need to hit them. Quickly reload the shells." This time. The captain said loudly.

And this time. The first officer picked up the telescope. Saw what he wanted to see.

"There are fortifications on the coastline, there seems to be someone there," the chief officer said at this time.

"There should be one of their strongholds." The first officer looked at it and said with certainty.
