Chapter 517 Side Riding

Yueyang camp.

As the former royal capital of the Qin State, Yueyang still maintained an important position even after the Qin Dynasty moved its capital to Xianyang.

From the beginning, Yueyang was established for military reasons. With convenient water transportation and large fields nearby, it could support a large number of troops and transport them to fight.

From the past to the present, no matter whether the Qin State is on the defensive or offensive, the army of Yueyang Camp has been an important force in protecting Guanzhong and even in foreign operations.

Nowadays, it has become a place where elites from Guanzhong who are loyal to the King of Qin are stationed.

The difference between most of the soldiers in counties and counties in various places is that the standing army in Yueyang's camp is a professional soldier.

Among them were the Meng family's cavalry army, the Wang family's tiger army, and the Li family's flying army and other elite armies.

Now that the Qin army has just destroyed South Korea, these troops are still gathered in Guanzhong.

But all the Qin generals were already gearing up.

Because Qin Ting has already decided on the strategy, the next one is Zhao State.

Of course, if it were only the State of Zhao, it would not be worthy of the attention of Meng Wu, Wang Ben, Li Xin and other military generals. However, there was Li Mu in the Zhao Kingdom.

The most accomplished military strategist, after Bai Qi and Lian Po, is now at the highest level standing in front of all the generals in the world.

Just like a big mountain, it lingers.

However, at this moment, the leader of the Zhao Kingdom was ignorant and mediocre, and had experienced a large-scale famine, and the national power was extremely weak. But no one dared to say lightly that they could defeat Li Mu.

Before Wang Jian arrived, a group of generals had already gathered at the table, studying the military situation.

The Qin army's attack on Zhao this time continued to advance simultaneously from the north and the south.

All the way through Jingxing and all the way out of Hanoi, two armies from the north and south besieged Handan.

The last time the Qin army attacked Zhao, Li Mu led the border troops to respond to the enemy in the north, while sending Sima Shang to the south to defend. This time, it should be similar.

Unlike Qin, Zhao's national power was weak at this time. After more than 100,000 Handan troops were destroyed by the Qin army, they have not recovered for so many years. The Zhao royal family can only rely on the border troops to defend against the enemy.

Facing the Qin army's strategic attack, Li Mu actually had few options to choose from. It can even be said that there is only one plan.

The Zhao army will inevitably occupy a key position in the north of Handan, allowing the Qin army to attack, thereby finding opportunities to defeat the Qin army. In the south, Sima Shang relied on the South Great Wall for strategic defense.

In the first two attacks of the Qin army, Li Mu chose this plan. The chips in his hand were not many before, but now, they are even less.

But it is precisely because of this that Li Mu's difficulty and fear are revealed.

Today, among the Qin army, most of the old factions no longer exist. With the passing of veteran generals such as Wang Yan, Hegong, and Meng Ao, coupled with the defeat of Fan Yuqi and the northern garrison of the Anxi Army, there is almost no trace of the old factions in Guanzhong.

Nowadays, all the generals in the Qin army are close followers of the King of Qin, and they are promoted by the King of Qin.

Whether he is a prudent general like Wang Jian or a brave general like Li Xin, they are both full of vigor.

Because of this, they seemed even more excited and excited about the battle against Zhao. The Qin army's atmosphere also appeared more energetic.

In the battle to conquer Zhao, what is really important, and what all the Qin generals care about, is the battle on the North Road.

Among them, Zhao Jun's Hu Dao side cavalry is an important opponent.

This cavalry army was founded by King Wuling of Zhao in the past and has now reached its peak in the hands of Li Mu.

To compete with it, you must at least have an equal cavalry force.

In the big tent, a group of Qin generals looked at Meng Wu. The Qin army has many cavalry, but the Meng family's cavalry have always been brave and are among the best in the entire Qin army.

When the war discussion reached a point, Meng Wu saw a group of Qin generals looking over and he spoke slowly.

"Although the Zhao army's cavalry troops are small, they are all elite. Li Mu is good at large-scale regiment battles, and he still focuses on cavalry. I heard that even when the Zhao army was suppressed, became increasingly difficult, and had to reduce its strength, Li Mu always This cavalry force has not been reduced. It will not be easy to deal with."

Li Mu can attack and defend. Whether it was the destruction of more than 100,000 Hu cavalry at the border or the killing of 100,000 Qin troops in Shoudi, this was proven.

But now, due to the huge gap in national power between Qin and Zhao, Li Mu could only carry out strategic defense, hold on to the barriers, and wait for opportunities to defeat the enemy.

This limits the performance of Li Mu's abilities, but at the same time, the precious mobility of the cavalry will inevitably become one of the few important bargaining chips in Li Mu's hands.

Meng Wu realized this and didn't feel relaxed. All around, the laughter of Qin generals could be heard.

"This is not what General Meng said."

"When facing Li Mu, you can never be too cautious."

When Meng Wu said this, the teasing laughter disappeared instantly.

The atmosphere in the tent was a bit depressing, Meng Wu groaned and said.

"If Lord Hanyang's Jincheng Cavalry can come, then we will be more confident in dealing with Hu Daobian's Cavalry."

As soon as Meng Wu said this, the oppressive atmosphere in the tent disappeared, and was replaced by silence and confusion.

In the past few years, Zhao Shuang has been very low-key, so low-key that even the young generals in the Qin Army only know his name.

Li Xin looked over, a little cautiously.

"Jinchengqi?"

The Meng family's cavalry once aided Shangjun in the north, and worked with Zhao Shuang at that time to deal with the Huns, and saw his cavalry fighting.

"The horses used by his cavalry were mostly large Western horses. They fought with the Xiongnu. With the same number, the Hu cavalry could not fight against them at all, and they could not even escape."

The Qin army had a lot of cavalry, and the main sources of horses were Longxi and Bei. The war horses in the Hetao area are relatively small, while the war horses produced in the Hexi Corridor are many with tall heads.

In addition, from the Yuezhi battle, Zhao Shuang obtained a large number of Wusun horses and even Dawan horses. Among the entire Qin army, the cavalry troops under Zhao Shuang were among the best.

When Li Xin heard this, he had many concerns in his heart.

After the Yueshi War, the Yulin Army returned to Nanzheng. After the Xiongnu War, the army of the family garrisoned west. So much so that now, some of the generals and lieutenants promoted in the Qin Army in the past two years do not know this Hanyang Lord.

Now that Meng Wu mentioned it, Li Xinxin also started to think about it.

At this moment, Wang Jian walked in from outside. Next to him was Yang Duanhe.

"The imperial court's strategy to destroy Zhao has been decided. All generals will obey the order."

"promise!"

…

After Wang Jian arranged the specific deployment, all the generals retreated. In the big tent, only Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe were left.

"What do you think of Lord Hanyang in this battle?"

"Why does the general ask this?"

Yang Duanhe asked softly at the side.

"Taiyuan's 50,000 troops were ordered to defend the north and contain the young master Jiajun of Daidi. Han Yangjun's move is so unpredictable!"

"The general is over-concerned. This is just an ordinary move. Although Gongzi Jia is in a stalemate with Handan, if Zhao is about to be destroyed, he may go south to help, so we must worry about it."

Yang Duanhe said softly, and Wang Jian just smiled and didn't believe it. Even, the desire to win or lose arose in my heart.

"So, let's see who can defeat Zhao Jun first!"
