Chapter 40

As Zhao Shu completed the reorganization of his soldiers, Xin Sheng gave an order, and the army quietly set off and advanced towards Xindu.

"General, our scouts contacted Black Ice Platform. News came from Black Ice Platform and they got accurate information."

"The State of Zhao sent 50,000 reinforcements, with Pang Yuan as the commander-in-chief, and advanced towards Xindu. They have now reached Naizigou."

Upon hearing the news verified by Heibingtai, Xin Sheng's expression suddenly became solemn. At this moment, he became curious about Zhao Shu's war foresight.

With thoughts swirling in his mind, Xin Sheng pondered for a moment: "Immediately send a special envoy to report to Yang Duan and General, and inform the matter one by one."

"At the same time, bring this letter to Yang Duan and General."

"promise."

The commander of the scout battalion left, and Xin Sheng gave a firm order to Sima, the middle army: "Send orders to the army up and down, speed up the march, and aim at Naizi Mountain."

"promise."

With an order, the army speeded up and advanced crazily towards Naizi Mountain, especially Zhao Shu's troops. At the end of the army, they could easily keep up with the speed of the army.

One person and two horses are much faster than one person and one horse. At this moment, Zhao Shu also understood why the Mongolian cavalry in later generations could sweep across Europe and Asia.

At that time, the Mongolian cavalry consisted of one man and three horses, and they came and went like the wind in a real sense.

The army rushed for three days and finally arrived at Naizi Mountain. At this time, Yang Duan and his Chinese army were speeding up to attack Xindu.

The Zhao army reinforcements led by Pang Yuan have already passed Naizigou and are looking through Naizi Mountain. As long as they cross Naizi Mountain, the road ahead will be smooth.

Looking at the sky, Pang Yuan's face was solemn. He knew very well that Yang Duanhe had already led the army to Xindu. If he was slower, it meant that Xindu was more likely to be breached.

"Is there any news from the scouts?"

Hearing this, Sima of the Chinese army shook his head: "The general has sent more scouts, but there has been no news..."

Looking at the army commander, Pang Yuan felt a little uneasy. The Qin army broke through Wu'an and completely caught Zhao State off guard.

This made Pang Yuan extremely unfavorable about Zhao. Before he led the army, he had a discussion with Lian Po. They both agreed that once Xindu fell, Zhao would have no chance.

"Send out another scout immediately and report back to the shogunate once every hour. The previous scouts will probably be in trouble."

"I ordered the soldiers to be more vigilant. Our army has traveled a long distance and its combat effectiveness is not high."

"promise."



The shogunate of the Qin army.

"General, the scouts have received news that part of the Zhao army has crossed Naizi Mountain. Are our troops going to attack?" Sima of the Chinese Army said in a deep voice.

"Gather all the generals above the thousand captain level. I have something to say." Xin Sheng's eyes were straight. He had not thought of attacking at this time.

He wants to completely eat these 50,000 troops.

He knew Pang Yuan well. Once Pang Yuan's remnants still existed, it would be a trouble for them.

This time, it is a crucial battle to destroy Zhao, and there must be no room for error.

A quarter of an hour later, the generals came one after another, saluted Xin Sheng, and said: "I have seen the general at last!"

"No need to be polite, I have received news that Pang Yuan is leading an army of 50,000 people across Naizi Mountain. Do you think our army will attack immediately, do you?"

Xin Sheng did not have high hopes for the generals. He called everyone here just to issue military orders.

The reason why he asked this question more was just because he had high expectations for Zhao Shu.

"General, I think our army should send troops immediately. As long as we kill the Zhao army's front troops, our army can gain an advantage..."

In the shogunate, the generals were talking, and Zhao Shu kept his eyes on the map. It wasn't until the shogunate became quiet that Zhao Shu finally spoke.

"General, this is Naizi Mountain, and this is the official road leading to Xindu. With the number of Zhao troops and their eagerness to go to Xindu for support, they will definitely take the official road."

"But our army is different. Our army is cavalry and can attack from both sides. This is an open field."

"As long as the Zhao army crosses the Naizi Mountain and travels less than three miles, they will arrive. If the general of the Zhao army chooses to set up camp, he will definitely choose this place."



Following Zhao Shu's words, Xin Sheng's eyes also moved. Although his idea was to wait for the Zhao army to gather and attack, he did not reveal the location where the Zhao army would camp.

At this thought, Xin Sheng couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you sure that Zhao Jun will camp here?"

"certainly!"

Zhao Shu chuckled, and his tone suddenly became firm: "In front of Naizi Mountain, this is the only open area where the army has set up camp. Although it is important to have mountains and rivers, Pang Yuan is just a supporting army."

"In order to prevent an ambush by our army, they will most likely choose to camp in an open area..."

After hearing Zhao Shu's analysis, Xin Sheng nodded at this moment and said to Zhao Shu and others: "Send the order for the army to advance secretly."

"Wait for Zhao's army to set up camp here, and then our army will attack. At the same time, we will send more scouts. I will know every move of Pang Yuan's army."

"promise."

The Chinese army's Sima looked solemn. They only had 10,000 cavalry, and the Zhao army's reinforcements reached 50,000. Even if it was a surprise attack, the risk would still be great.

But Xin Shengdu had already made a decision, and he had no choice but to obey.

"Li Ji, you will lead three thousand cavalry. Immediately move forward to ambush on the right flank in the open area. Send more scouts. When the middle army and Zhao army clash, immediately lead the army to fight out."

"promise."

Seeing Li Ji nodding in agreement, Xin Sheng turned his eyes around and finally landed on Zhao Shu, and said in a solemn tone.

"Zhao Shu, with you leading 3,000 cavalry, immediately go to the open area to ambush on the left flank. Just like Li Ji's request, wait for the Chinese army to confront the Zhao army and then attack immediately."

Having said this, Xin Sheng warned, "This battle is all about taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them unprepared."

"Therefore, you must make sure to kill in time and ensure that the news is not noticed by Zhao Jun. Otherwise, by the time Zhao Jun's infantry is in formation, even if our army can win, it will be a disaster."

"Do you understand?"

"General, I will understand!"

At this moment, Zhao Shu was also stunned. He did not expect that Xin Sheng left the commander alone and actually asked him, a commander of thousands, to serve as the commander of the left wing.

But this thought only lasted for a moment, and he nodded, believing that he could do it.

Starting from Wu'an, he was invincible in every battle. Perhaps this is why Xin Sheng trusted him.

"General, don't worry, I will never let you down!" Finally, Zhao Shu solemnly saluted Xin Sheng.

He knew in his heart that such an opportunity was rare. The military generally used people with high titles and high positions, and rarely promoted them on their own initiative.
