Shan Xin looked at the map carefully and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
"Master Zhao, according to your tactics, it is indeed possible to decide the outcome in one battle. However, no one can guarantee what accidents will happen on the way for thousands of miles. Moreover, no one in my merchant army has been to such a far place.
Grassland, what should I do if I get lost?"
Zhao Rui nodded, these are indeed very real problems.
Moreover, the climate on the grassland is changeable and the water supply is unknown. Logistics may not be able to keep up with such a long distance.
Although there are many Huns among the border troops, there is no guarantee whether these people are sincerely seeking refuge with the Great Shang.
Even Zhao Rui did not dare to randomly find a few Huns from the army to lead him.
"It seems that the time has not come yet to incorporate the northern grasslands into the territory of Dashang!"
Zhao Rui sighed, then sat on the chair and stared blankly at the map in front of him.
Shan rested his chin and stared at the map for a long time.
"Actually, I think the plan proposed by Mr. Zhao can be regarded as a stroke of genius! If we can repel the grassland coalition this time, we can start to form a cavalry capable of long-distance attacks. By then, we may be able to level the grassland!
"Then from now on, this task will be handed over to you!"
Shan Xin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Rui to give him this task.
"Since Mr. Zhao has such trust, he will definitely fulfill his mission."
Zhao Rui looked at the map again: "Then follow your previous strategy and attack King Zuoxian tonight! But it's not your army attacking all the way, but two armies acting together. Since we want to fight, then use these 150,000
The army ate it up in one bite!"
Shan Xin suddenly became excited and immediately discussed the details of the battle with Zhao Rui.
In the evening, Zhao Rui led 100,000 frontier cavalry out of the gate and headed straight for Wula Mountain Pass.
When night fell, the army arrived at its destination.
"Where is King Zuo Xian? Can you speak out?"
Zhao Rui found a few tall and strong men, stood in front of the two armies, and kept shouting.
Not long after, King Zuo Xian came out surrounded by a dozen trusted cavalrymen.
"You guys really don't know how to live or die. You dare to come here with a mere hundred million troops!"
King Zuo Xian still had that arrogant attitude. It seemed that the loss of 50,000 horses during the day was nothing to him.
Moreover, this guy also learned some lessons. The military formation deployed at Wula Pass was extremely rigorous and could be said to be impregnable.
"King Zuo Xian!" Zhao Rui straightened up and shouted: "The cavalry behind me was trained by the old general Shan Tianxiong. I just want to see how powerful they are. How about it? Let's make an appointment for a battle.
Bar!"
King Zuo Xian seemed to have heard some joke and laughed wildly.
"Date a fight with me? Are you really impatient with life?"
Zhao Rui suddenly laughed: "In that case, let's not make an appointment and just start a war!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Rui directly ordered the 10,000 cavalrymen who had surrendered first to charge.
King Zuo Xian did not expect that Zhao Rui would dare to challenge him so directly. He became furious and immediately ordered the entire army to mobilize. The vanguard soldiers rushed out to join the frontier cavalry.
The armies of both sides fought so hard that the entire Wula Pass was filled with dust and blood flowed into rivers.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, 30,000 cavalry led by Shan Xin quietly headed north along the Yesai River.
