Chapter 97 Your Kid Kills Me, Daqin's Heart Will Not Die!
Wang Ben's question was exactly what Ying Zheng was worried about.
Although the Qin State is very strong, it also encounters many problems. If this unknown Roman Empire suddenly invades, it may be disastrous.
Of course, the First Emperor was confident enough to defeat all powerful enemies.
But confidence is not reality.
The reality of the Qin Dynasty can be said to be that it has many soldiers but little food, and its territory is vast and sparsely populated.
Coupled with the successive disasters, it is a bit difficult to cope with Donghu's southward movement, let alone a Rome that spans Europe, Asia and Africa.
Seeing Wang Bi and Ying Zheng looking at him with burning eyes, Zhao Kun smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, they can't fight!"
"Why?"
Wang Ben frowned: "Didn't you say they span Europe, Asia and Africa?"
According to his military common sense, if a country's military is strong enough to fight over long distances, theoretically, it can fight anywhere in the world.
For example, the distance between Qin and South Vietnam was far greater than the distance between Qin and the other six countries.
After hearing Wang Ben's words, Zhao Kun asked calmly: "Does Marquis Tongwu not consider baggage and supplies when he goes to war?"
Wang Ben was stunned and looked at Zhao Kun blankly.
But Zhao Kun pursed his lips and said: "Thinking about military affairs without providing logistics is equivalent to being a hooligan!"
"Playing hooligan?"
When Ying Zheng heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched and he looked at Wang Ben with interest.
Wang Ben's old face turned red. He was only worried about Rome's military strength, but forgot about the issue of logistical supplies.
In fact, the same problem also existed in Qin.
The First Emperor compared himself to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, how could he not be enterprising?
But if the logistics can't keep up, it's all in vain.
No matter how awesome Da Qin’s cavalry are, they can’t fight on an empty stomach!
Wang Ben thought for a while, and then asked with some dissatisfaction: "Since the Roman Empire has problems with its logistical supplies, why can they travel across Europe, Asia, and Africa?"
Zhao Kun did not answer his question directly, but asked instead: "What did Marquis Tongwu see when he looked at Wang Li's cavalry?"
Wang Ben frowned: "You mean strict discipline?"
"As expected of Marquis Tongwu, he can see the key at a glance!"
Zhao Kun nodded in approval.
Wang Ben rolled his eyes and said to himself that I have been fighting for my whole life, but you can't even see it, and you still slap me!
However, he did not show off in front of Zhao Kun, and frowned and asked: "You mean, there are similarities between the Roman cavalry and Wang Li's cavalry?"
"That's not entirely true. When fighting with the Roman cavalry, they paid attention to coordination and discipline. Everyone shared weal and woe, and they used the power of unity!"
"You're talking about the concept of cooperation." Wang Ben was scornful, and after thinking for a while he said: "On the battlefield, although cooperation is emphasized, more tactics and armaments are used."
"That's true. The most famous tactics of the Qin Dynasty are the phalanx, and the spears and crossbows are also invincible."
At this point, Zhao Kun changed the topic and continued: "But don't forget, the soldiers' physique."
"Soldier physique?"
Wang Ben was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Kun explained: "The Romans are stronger than the Qin people. If they fight together and cooperate with discipline and formation, their strength will be doubled!"
Wang Ben carefully recalled yesterday's drill battle and found that this was indeed the case.
The final cavalry charge pushed Xinhai City away just by the power of inertia.
"Does Marquis Tongwu know how powerful the Lancers are?"
"good!"
Wang Ben nodded and said: "If the Qin State fights in phalanx, the Lancers will indeed be a threat!"
Speaking of this, he said confidently: "But our Qin State's powerful crossbow can still break it!"
Zhao Kun smiled noncommittally and said, "What if it's heavy cavalry?"
"Um?"
"What I mean is, if you put thick scale armor on the horses and cavalry, how can you break it?"
Wang Ben frowned: "With such a heavy load, doesn't it slow down the speed?"
Zhao Kun nodded: "It does reduce the speed, but the damage of the bow and arrow will also be reduced."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ben's eyes froze and he was thoughtful.
Ying Zheng on the side was full of admiration.
From the battle at the training ground, he could tell that Zhao Kun had great military talents. If he was carefully cultivated, it would not be difficult to become the commander of an army.
But why do I turn a blind eye to such a Qilinzi?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng sighed secretly and couldn't help but ask: "According to what you said, Rome is quite a threat to the Qin Dynasty."
Zhao Kun: "There are threats, but there is nothing to worry about. As I said just now, they are limited by logistical supplies and cannot expand externally."
"Of course, the Roman Empire spanned Europe, Asia and Africa, which was also related to the geographical environment and the strength of surrounding countries."
Hearing this, Wang Ben and Ying Zheng looked at each other, and the latter asked in confusion: "How do the countries surrounding Rome compare to the six countries?"
"Nowhere near as good as that!"
Zhao Kun replied without thinking.
This is indeed the case. In Europe, Asia and Africa at that time, there were many countries with thousands of troops.
When the Roman army came, most countries became "harmless French."
Some even surrendered before the people arrived.
Therefore, in terms of strength, he is definitely not as good as the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.
"Since the countries surrounding Rome are not strong, it is reasonable for him to develop."
Wang Ben nodded and sighed.
Zhao Kun glanced at him and said solemnly: "Development and growth occur when one has strength. As the saying goes, the strong will always be strong and the weak will always be weak;
When a country is so powerful that neighboring countries surrender without a fight, the country’s territory will naturally expand easily!”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng and Wang Ben looked at each other.
With the current strength of the Qin State, it is impossible for the surrounding countries to surrender without a fight. The Roman Empire can actually do it. It should not be underestimated!
Looking at the land on the map and comparing it with Qin's current land, Ying Zheng was slightly distracted.
I call myself the First Emperor, and my achievements are greater than those of the three emperors, but I can't compare to the overseas barbarians?
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng clenched his fists, and an unspeakable momentum suddenly rose.
My son said that I am an emperor for eternity, and I will be an emperor for eternity!
There are countries in the world that are stronger than my Great Qin. Isn’t it true that I, the emperor of the ages, have a false reputation?
snort!
Not only do I want to be a true emperor through the ages, I also want to meet the Roman Empire for a while.
Let's see whose country is the strongest in the world!
Your Rome spans Europe, Asia and Africa?
I, Da Qin, will conquer the whole world!
At this moment, the fire in Ying Zheng's eyes was heavily ignited, and the seeds of conquering the world sprouted in his heart.
Since the unification of the six countries, he hasn't felt this high-spirited for a long time!
With a chuckle in his heart, Ying Zheng secretly shook his head.
My son is indeed extraordinary. Just a few words can make people's blood boil, as if he is twenty years younger.
Well, he is my son after all.
Just when Ying Zheng was filled with emotion, Zhao Kun on the side suddenly said: "Although we don't have to worry about Rome coming, the plan must go on as usual!"
"Cough, cough..."
This sentence was like pouring cold water on Ying Zheng, causing his newly ignited fighting spirit to instantly extinguish, causing him to cough again and again.
Good boy!
I forgot!
