Chapter 1312 Smash you to death with money


    Chapter 1310: Use money to kill you


    The total number of shields equipped by Yuan and Mongolia is less than one-third of Qin Hao’s 100,000 troops. What does this mean?


    It means that Yuanmeng is extremely lacking in steel.


    There is no way, the most lacking iron ore in Yuanmeng is iron ore, and the Jin army, which produced the largest iron ore, did not buy iron ore for Yuanmeng.


    Although other princes of the Han Dynasty were willing to sell, they could only keep the Yuan Meng steel enough, and were far from filling the huge gap in the entire Yuan Meng Empire.


    The amount of steel output is the cornerstone of a country''s military power. If the steel output is insufficient and enough equipment is not built, the combat power of the army will naturally not be much stronger.


    For the Yuan and Mongolia Empire, which lacks iron ore, steel resources are the most precious strategic resources. The entire country is in a state of careful calculations for the use of steel, and every pound of iron must be used on the blade.


    Therefore, instead of using precious steel to build shields, Yuan Meng would rather use it to build weapons. After all, one shield can create four or five steel knives.


    Yuan Meng can''t even afford to equip the shield, let alone the iron armor that consumes more steel.


    In the Han Dynasty, although iron armor was also a rare thing, it was still relatively common and was the standard configuration for elite troops under the command of major princes.


    In Yuanmeng, no matter whether they are elite or not, soldiers will never be able to wear iron armor. Only generals of the commander or above can be equipped with iron armor, so the armor rate of the Yuanmeng army is naturally pitifully low.


    In general, the equipment of Yuan Meng was several levels lower than that of the Han army. Temujin knew this situation, so he vigorously developed Yuan Meng''s cavalry, and made up for the overall equipment gap with the Han army through the rich horse resources on the grassland and the cavalry''s speed advantage.


    When he saw Qin Hao''s army of more than 100,000 and equipped with 70,000 or 80,000 shields, Temujin felt envious and jealous, and at the same time he became more determined to enter the Central Plains.


    The resources of the grassland are too barren, and any state in the Han Dynasty, even the poorest Liang and Youjiao, has much richer reserve resources than the grassland. If Temujin wants to realize his ambition to conquer the world, he must rely on the huge resources of the Central Plains.


    On the battlefield, Yuan Meng''s cavalry and shooting tactics were easily resolved by Qin Hao using the shield formation. Considering that the Han army had a large base of shields, Temujin gave up the idea of ??continuing to shoot arrows outside the Longmen formation.


    The Han army''s powerful crossbows were much sharper than Yuan Meng''s bows and arrows. If the two armies shot against each other, Yuan Meng would definitely suffer the loss. So after several rounds of cavalry and shooting, the Yuan Meng cavalry put away their cavalry and shooting and adopted a charge formation. The most primitive charge was about to begin.


    Qin Hao on the command tower saw that the Yuan Meng Iron Cavalry was about to hit the shield formation, and shook the flag again and shouted: "Jaberfin, put it in no difference, throw it."


    After receiving the order from the shield formation, the soldiers quickly threw the javelin in their hands and threw tens of thousands of javelins in the first round alone.


    Due to the close number and the density of the Han army''s javelins was too high, the Yuan and Mongolian cavalry had nowhere to take it, and the shields in their hands could not stop the javelins. A large number of cavalry were directly nailed to death by the javelins and their horses in front of the formation, and their death was extremely miserable.


    "snort…"


    Temushi behind saw this and snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.


    Javelin is a great weapon for both infantry and cavalry, but due to the low iron production, it is naturally impossible for Yuanmeng to equip such disposable equipment.


    But the Han army threw it out without restraint, which seemed too luxurious and wasteful to Temujin. In Temujin''s eyes, the javelins thrown by the Han army were all money. Is Qin Hao hitting him with a javelin? This is simply using money to smash him, and he still has to use money to smash him to death.


    "I don''t believe that the Han army''s javelins will never be used up. Rush, rush over to me." Temujin gritted his teeth and ordered.


    The double blows of the powerful crossbow and javelin in the longmen formation form an extremely dense firepower network, allowing the Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry to break through at most thirty meters outside the formation, and they will never be able to make progress again.


    The corpses of the fallen Yuanmeng cavalry also became an obstacle to the cavalry behind, greatly reducing the speed of the cavalry and making it more difficult for the cavalry to advance.


    So this conversation appeared:


    The Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry rushed towards the Longmen Formation, but when he was approaching the Longmen Formation, he was either shot to death by an arrow or a javelin, but the cavalry behind him continued to follow and hit the Han army''s gun fearlessly.


    On the command tower of the Longmen Formation Center, Qin Hao looked at this scene with a smile, feeling unprecedentedly good.


    "Want to consume our army''s javelins? Don''t worry, I have prepared a lot of javelins, a full million, and I''m waiting for you to consume them slowly."


    Qin Hao made sufficient preparations for this decisive battle with Temujin. As many as one million javelins were prepared, and this was almost 80% of the javelins reserved by the Qin and Jin armies.


    Qin Hao knew that the javelin would be a powerful weapon for infantry to deal with cavalry, so he not only emptied the major armories in Bingzhou, but also transferred most of the strategic materials in Sizhou and Jingbei, just to catch Tiemujin off guard in the decisive battle.


    Qin Hao looked outside the formation and whispered to himself: "This time he will kill you even if he uses money."


    Temujin used people and Malay to make up for the lack of resources, while Qin Hao used a large amount of resources to make up for the shortcomings of cavalry. Both sides had their own advantages and disadvantages, but in general, it was definitely wiser to use resources to offset human lives.


    After all, resources are dead, people are alive. As long as there are people, more resources can be created. No matter how much resources are accumulated, no one will use them, it is useless.


    Of course, if you only use resources to pile up, the winning battles you get are actually undesirable.


    The reason why Qin Hao dared to do this was not only because the Qin and Jin armies were rich and powerful and could withstand his consumption, but mainly because he also had the treasure of God as his trump card.


    In the Battle of Hetao, no matter who wins the final decisive battle, he is not the winner. Qin Hao and Temujin can be said to have fought both sides and suffered losses.


    Even if Qin Hao was able to successfully expel Temujin, hundreds of thousands of people had been killed or injured in Hetao, and a large number of homeless victims were waiting for rescue, and the number of soldiers and militias killed in battle would probably exceed 200,000.


    Therefore, the pensions that need to be paid alone will be enough to crush the finances of the Qin and Jin armies, and this may make Qin Hao unable to have any external enterprising power in the next few years or even ten years.


    Qin Hao knew that both sides were injured, but he still dared to fight with Temu to fight for consumption because he had the "Treasure of God" to quickly recover his blood, while Temujin could only lick his wounds silently with tears in his own eyes.


    Therefore, when the army lacks cavalry and it is difficult to defeat the Yuan Meng Iron Cavalry by relying on its strength, killing Temujin with money may not be a good idea for Qin Hao. After all, Qin Hao, who has the treasure of God, is really not short of money.


    Thank you for the flowers blooming and the turbulent rewards of the passing years. I owe you one update. In addition, I owe Moromo to take off the last time, I have already owed two updates. Don’t worry, the fragrance will be paid slowly.
