Chapter 46 Zhao Shu has only a limited understanding of the military experts of this era.
The army sets out.
Advancing towards Xindu, Zhao Shu led his men and followed the Chinese army. Due to the continuous battles, all of Zhao Shu's men were injured.
The presence of military doctors can save their lives, but when their manpower is exhausted, they cannot shorten the healing time.
Riding on horseback, Zhao Shu now has a deep understanding of horseback riding, as if it is engraved in his memory. It is a subconscious behavior.
As the army was dispatched, the news that Pang Yuan had been defeated spread like wildfire. With the help of the Black Ice Platform, the news spread very quickly.
Zhao Shu felt calm in his heart. He had also thought about pretending to be one of Pang Yuan's troops and going to Xindu to trick him into opening the city gate, thus taking the opportunity to attack Xindu.
He deduced it in his mind, but without exception, he failed every time.
Nowadays, the army is in danger and the war is fierce. As the general of Xindu, Yan Ju will not believe it easily even if he knows that Pang Yuan is coming with reinforcements.
Qin and Zhao come from the same source, but the people of Qin and Zhao are easy to distinguish. It is impossible to hide them from a famous general like Yan Ju, who can tell them at a glance.
What's more, once exposed, the pretended army will be eaten by Yan Ju in one bite. The risk is too great and it is simply not feasible.
Therefore, when Yang Duanhe asked, Zhao Shu did not propose this plan. After all, he was a commander of thousands and was responsible for the soldiers below.
Unknowingly, he had grown into a captain of thousands, and commanded a cavalry of 3,000 people. As the commander-in-chief of an army, he cooperated with Xin Sheng to defeat Pang Yuan.
The more wars he experienced, the more cautious his attitude towards war became. As a military general, a wrong decision will cause the death of countless soldiers and the fragmentation of countless families.
As the army advanced, Zhao Shu had many thoughts.
At this time, the news had reached Xindu. Yan Ju looked at the Xindu command with a serious expression: "The elite vanguards were defeated by the Qin army, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled were left in our army."
"I asked the imperial court for help, but I wonder where the reinforcements have arrived?"
The letter made Zhao Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to Yan Ju: "Old General, our people have received news that Qin Army Xin Sheng led the cavalry to ambush General Pang Yuan."
"We are verifying the specific situation, but according to the news, the situation is not good."
Hearing this, Yan Ju frowned. He knew in his heart that the distance between Xindu and Handan was not far. Logically speaking, the reinforcements had already arrived.
However, the reinforcements have not arrived, and there has been no news, which makes Yan Ju have bad thoughts in his heart.
"Has there been any news from our scouts?" After a long silence, Yan Ju asked Xindu Ling on the side.
Hearing Yan Ju's inquiry, Xindu Ling shook his head: "General, I am also doubtful about this. Before this, the scouts came back with news once a day."
"But now it's been two days without any news. I'm worried that something happened to our scouts."
"Immediately send an order to the scout camp and send out scouts to continue the investigation and look for the previous scouts. We will see people alive or dead or corpses."
Yan Ju's face turned ugly and he ordered to Xindu: "At the same time, verify the situation of the reinforcements. You are responsible for appeasing the people. I want to recruit the young men in the city."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Xindu Ling knew in his heart that there were only more than 20,000 mobs in Xindu City now, and they were no match for the Qin army.
The elites were lost before, and now there are unknown reinforcements. It is necessary to strengthen the strength in Xindu City. Only in this way can we meet any emergencies that may occur.
After Xindu ordered him to leave, Yan Ju's expression did not improve, but became more solemn. As a military general, his keen sense of smell made him almost certain that something happened to Pang Yuan's army.
It's just that he is the pillar of Xindu now, and no panic can appear on him. Otherwise, the people of Xindu will be panicked. They are afraid that once the Qin army comes, there will be no need to attack the city, and someone will open the city and surrender.
As soon as he thought about this, Yan Ju looked in the direction of Handan and said in a faint tone: "Yaxiang, can Handan be defended?"
This question is not only a worry for Yan Ju, but also a worry for many generals of Zhao State. They all know that with Li Mu at Jingxing Pass and the most elite border troops of Zhao State, they will naturally be safe and sound.
But Handan is different.
The Qin army in the direction of Handan basically reached 150,000 people, which was far more terrifying than Yang Duan and his troops.
Handan is the capital of the Zhao Kingdom. Once Handan City is destroyed, the morale of the Zhao people will be extremely low, and the morale of the army will be weakened, and eventually the country will be overthrown by the Qin people.
Yan Ju knew very well that the situation in Xindu was not good, but if he persisted for a while, it would not be a big problem. Instead, it was Handan that worried him.
"General, the news has been verified. Fifty thousand reinforcements have been sent to Handan, headed by General Pang Yuan, to Xindu."
The letter was ordered to report to Yan Ju, saying: "However, near Naizi Mountain, we were ambushed by the Qin army, and the entire army was wiped out."
Yan Ju's expression remained unchanged. He had already had a suspicion about this situation, and now that it was confirmed, it wouldn't surprise him too much.
"Now we can only rely on ourselves." Yan Ju took a deep look at Xindu Ling: "Follow the general's instructions, recruit young people immediately, and you also start to appease the people."
"At the same time, order the army to prepare for defense. I'm afraid the war is just around the corner."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Xindu Ling turned around and left. Yan Ju's expression was solemn, which made him a little worried.
After all, the tiger and wolf Qin army can be said to be invincible in every battle, and the illustrious reputation it has gained over the years makes people have to be in awe.
"General, we are five miles away from Xindu. Will the army continue to advance?" Sima of the Chinese army came over and said to Yang Duanhe.
Yang Duanhe pondered for a moment and made a decision in his mind: "Continue to advance, we are only one mile away from Xindu and set up camp."
"promise."
Watching Sima of the Chinese army leave, Yang Duanhe's heart was agitated. He knew in his heart that as long as he captured Xindu again, he would be the first to destroy Zhao.
Now that Wu'an has been conquered, Pang Yuan's reinforcements have been killed, and Zhao's first victory is only one step away from him, it can be said that it is within reach.
At this time, Yang Duanhe will naturally not give up.
Just when the news came out and all kinds of rumors spread in the three Jin areas, Yang Duan and his army finally arrived in Xindu.
"The army is encamped, the Huotou army is cooking pots, and the cavalry is on guard. General Xin Sheng is the order!" Yang Duanhe stopped and gave the order.
"promise."
After giving the order, the army divided the work and cooperated. Those who set up camp were responsible for setting up camp. Each performed his duties and moved quickly and neatly.
Zhao Shu's First Division belongs to the Chinese Army. At this time, the Chinese Army ensures the stability of the army, and he does not need to participate in anything. He can watch the scenes unfold before his eyes.
As he develops in the military, setting up camps will always be inevitable. After all, he is not from a family background, nor does he have a very good teacher.
As a result, Zhao Shu knew only a little about the military strategists of this era.
