Eight hundred and thirtieth eight chapters sound shook the world
Three armies moved. General Wang Jian personally led the main force of 200,000 troops, divided into several camps, and stationed beside the river in front of Jingxingkou. The names of the rivers were, one is Taoshui, the other is Mianmanshui.
Wang Jian was very meticulous in his deployment of troops. When training the new army, he sent hundreds of scouts to Zhao in turns. He carefully surveyed the distribution of water sources in all possible passages and drew maps one by one.
Now, it is clearly reflected on the sand table. Before dispatching troops, Wang Jian sent out scouts to repeatedly inspect the three established marching routes, monitoring the changes in the supply and demand of various water sources, and providing decision-making basis for the army to determine its garrison at any time.
The thing to be on guard against is that the Zhao army may cut off the water. During the warring states, not many people fought for water, but the importance of water goes without saying. Any dispute over water may turn into a diplomatic war or even a war.
The soldiers met each other.
"General, within a radius of a hundred miles with the five major camps as the core, there is no abnormality in the water source."
Hearing that the scouts in front of him came to report, Wang Jian couldn't help but feel relieved.
The last time they attacked here, the Zhao State was in a hurry to gather troops, so it was the same. I didn't expect that it would be like this this time.
"Li Mu was so negligent, wouldn't it be God's will to destroy Zhao?"
After thinking a lot, Wang Jian sighed deeply. The water source was unobstructed and he would have no future troubles. Then he could gather troops to test Li Mu's tactics.
Two hundred thousand troops were divided into five military camps, standing in front of Jingxingkou. They were separated from each other in an orderly manner. They were even more particular in front of the mountains. Of course, this was not a problem for the Qin State, which had fought the Changping War.
The cavalry, infantry, chariots, and crossbows combined with various large-scale equipment to operate in a coordinated manner, as well as to ensure the transportation of grain, grass, and baggage, were all skillfully integrated. After General Wang Jian gave the order, the entire Qin Army immediately and effectively operated like a large-scale equipment.
stand up.
The army is formed and ready to go!
At the same moment, Li Mu was also ready. Although he was good at riding and shooting battle formations, but... he had also fought in mountain battles and had not lost. After the shogunate's deliberation, more than 200,000 troops were divided into formations.
Camp, waiting for Qin to attack.
"General, the king's order is temporarily coming, and the food and grass are only enough for one month. Should we issue a military order to collect food in Taihang generation?"
Lieutenant General Sima Shang walked in from outside the military tent and had just checked some of the army's baggage. Although it was fine for a short time, looking at it from the front, it was obvious that the battle between Qin and Zhao could not be ended in a short time.
"Issue a military order!"
Li Mu did not hesitate. Although Wang Shu had not been left behind, the food and grass that Hancang brought last time was limited. If he wanted to persist for a long time, he had to collect food from nearby counties.
"yes!"
Zhao State has experienced wars for more than a hundred years, and each major county has its own tradition of transporting grain and grass, especially many counties west of Handan. Sima Shang thought this was not a problem.
When Qin and Zhao were at war, naturally the army was the main force.
When the Qin State was about to completely attack and destroy the Zhao State, Li Mu personally led 10,000 of the most elite border troops to sit at the end. First, to guard against food and grass. Second, to mobilize the central army, the North Route Army, and the South Route Army at any time.
With the current defensive situation of Taixing Eight Gates, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem if we persist. Of course, the court in Handan must not have any problems. If so, we can maintain a stalemate with Qin for a year and a half.
Prince Jia and the others were now ready to take action, so Li Mu did not focus on the Qin army's attack. The scouts sent to Handan would come back every three or two days to report the incident.
As long as this place can be defended, Li Mu will not interfere with whatever happens in Handan.
On the tenth day when both sides were engaged in battle at Jingxingkou, General Wang Jian gave the order to directly launch the first attack.
The most dangerous point of Jingxing Mountain is not Jingxing Pass, but the Jingxing Pass under it. Its actual situation is similar to that of Hangu Pass in Qin, a long canyon and a pass sandwiched between two mountains. The situation is narrow and dangerous.
It is simply impossible to deploy a large army.
Wang Jian went to the front in person and boarded the scout cloud chariot. He took with him front and rear, capable warriors sent from Xianyang, and people from Luowang who mixed in to prevent assassination by warriors from Zhao.
Climbing up and looking, everything at the bottom of the valley comes into view. In the mountains on both sides of Jingxingkou, the sun is setting, because there are flags floating in the sky, but that distance is not a place for an ambush. However, it is not too far away from the command post.
"Is it Li Mu there?"
For a moment, deep in Wang Jian's heart, a strange idea came to mind.
It is said that the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the palace, but Li Mu is now the general of the Zhao State. He is not far away from him anywhere, hiding in the depths of the mountains and forests, and avoiding all attacks.
"That's Wang Jian?"
Deep in the mountain forest, just as Wang Jian had guessed, Li Mu came to the front of the first fight as Wang Jian had guessed, and looked away from the distance. The black-armored general on the cloud car was deep in his eyes.
"good."
Lieutenant General Sima Shang nodded.
"Sima Shang, what do you think of Wang Jian?"
After condensing Wang Jian for a long time, Li Mu asked Sima Shang beside him.
"Wang Jian was originally from the Qin Dynasty. He joined the army in his early years and served as a general under Qin General Wu'an Jun Baiqi and Meng Ao. In the past ten years, he was loyal to the Qin King Yingzheng, whether he was dealing with Lao Ai or Wen Xin Hou Lu Buwei.
Be the pillar of the army."
"Far surpassing Qin General Meng Wu, so he is now the number one in the Qin army! Ying Zheng trusts him very much!"
Sima Shang heard this and wondered what the general meant?
The general was obviously not unfamiliar with the news about Wang Jian, but when he asked himself, Sima Shangsi thought he was familiar with it. After all, in short.
"How do you think Wang Jian compares to Bai Qi and Meng Ao?"
Li Mu asked again.
For decades, the most famous generals of the Shandong states in the Qin State were Bai Qi, Meng Ao, Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe, and Wang Jian. However, Ying Zheng let Wang Jian lead an army of more than 400,000 to attack.
Zhao.
Furthermore, he was able to respond to the army's baggage, to make decisions when the opportunity came, to meet logistical needs, and to meet all the other needs, giving them great trust. For this, Li Mu was quite envious.
If King Zhao also gives him this, Li Mu is sure that he can improve his chance of victory to a higher level.
"This..., I'm afraid it's not as good as the Qin generals Wu Anjun Bai Qi and Meng Ao."
Sima Shang thought for a while and gave a response.
Bai Qi, Lord of Wu'an, has never been defeated since he joined the army. In one battle, he annihilated more than a million soldiers from the Shandong countries in his hands, which made the Shandong countries fear him. Moreover, the Zhao State also suffered the biggest defeat at Bai Qi's hands.
deficit.
Four hundred and fifty thousand Zhao soldiers were killed!
At this point, Zhao's vitality was severely damaged.
General Meng Ao was the pillar figure who stabilized the situation in the army after the Qin general Bai Qi experienced the chaotic change of power in the Qin Dynasty, although he was not as conspicuous as Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an.
However, in the face of the alliance of all the countries, he was more than able to defend himself. He could be a famous general and was known to all the countries in Shandong. However, in a battle with the former general Pang Nuan of Zhao, he was killed in the middle. In this way, the generals in the Qin army were Wang Jian and Meng.
Wu, Yang Duanhe and Huanjue were waiting.
Huan Jue was vulnerable and was captured by the general himself. Yang Duanhe's reputation was not prominent and he was now just the commander-in-chief of Qin's right army. Meng Wu was the general of the camp outside the pass and has not been prominent recently.
"Maybe."
"However, compared with Wu'an Jun Bai Qi's unexpected combination of enemies and his actions, which shocked the world, and compared with Qin General Meng Ao's defense and support, with more than enough clever strategies, Wang Jian's use of troops was too steady."
"I have observed Wang Jian's previous battles. He fought steadily and steadily. He did not seek quick results, but only sought slow advancement. A few decades ago, Wang Jian might not have shown his strength, but now that Wang Jian is carrying great strength, this kind of military strategy...
…It’s hard to break.”
Li Mu smiled softly, maybe he didn't even know about this problem.
I once thought that since the Qin Kingdom came to an end and Meng Ao disappeared, Qin's generals have not shown much talent. Even though the current military strength of the Qin Kingdom far exceeds that of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, it is still useless.
Especially since he had captured the Qin General Huan Jue alive and sent scouts to explore the Qin State, plus the information collected by Zhao merchants in the Qin State, Li Mu thought that if the Qin State really did not show its talents, then the Zhao State should
This could be a good opportunity for ZTE.
Many years ago, King Wu Ling revolutionized the State of Zhao. The strength of the State of Zhao was not weaker than that of Qin. Unfortunately, after King Xiaocheng, King Mourning and King Xiang, King Wu Ling's legacy was not evident. Sure enough, he would be resurrected, and he could definitely become the leader of Qin State again.
A strong country to counterbalance.
But... judging from the information collected, Haotian... is too partial to Qin.
One is King Yingzheng of Qin. After taking office, he eliminated all the old ministers and old ministers who had survived in the Qin State, and appointed new ones. Within the center, whether they were Changping Lord Xiong Qi, Li Si, Wang Wan, Feng Quji, Meng
Yi, Marquis Wu Zhen... is like this.
In the army, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Li Xin, Xin Sheng, Ma Xing, Wang Ben... young people occupy the positions of the main generals of the new Qin army. Although those people are not visible now, they have a growing interest in Wang Jian and Li Mu.
Clear understanding.
Even though Wang Jian is not as good as Bai Qi and Meng Ao, they are still famous generals in their prime in the Qin State today. Wang Jian's military and political talents and sharp insights are evident.
Only because of this, Li Mu had previously felt that the one who would lead the army to annihilate Korea would definitely be Wang Jian.
But just by dispatching the Nanyang partial army, South Korea was destroyed. Wang Jian's Lantian army did not dispatch a single soldier. Li Mu sighed in his heart.
Now Wang Jian is leading an army to destroy Zhao. With Qin's strong national power, the Qin army's sophisticated equipment, and Wang Jian's steady tactics, Li Mu has a premonition that this will be his last battle and the real battle between the Zhao army and the Qin army.
