In fact, when Chu Jiangmian received the urgent military information that came, on the land west of Zhao State, the war had already begun, and the smoke was rising, and there were several battles a day. The situation has become very critical.

The elite Wei warriors crossed the border in the dark of night and began to attack the important border towns of Zhao in a big way. With their absolute superiority, in just a few days, they captured more than a dozen border cities of Zhao State in a row. Although the guarding Zhao army tried their best to resist, it was difficult to resist after all. had to retreat step by step, and all of a sudden, within a hundred miles, it became a battlefield.

Since the Great Zhou Dynasty divided the princes of the world, after the evolution of the years, the vassal states have encroached on each other, the weak have been eliminated and annexed, and the strong have become more powerful. This is an immutable rule.

In terms of territory, a few decades ago, Wei and Zhao, who were neighbors of each other, were about the same size, and although the relationship was not good, it was not bad. On the whole, they can live in peace, although there are occasional small conflicts and frictions, but they have nothing to do with the overall situation. However, since the accession to the throne of this generation of Wei kings, the Wei state began to vigorously pursue a policy of expansion. He used the strength accumulated by the Wei State over the past hundred years to recruit talents, and worked hard to build an ironclad army of more than 100,000 people. They were known as Wei Wushu.

With this army in hand, Wei successively annexed three or four small princes in the vicinity, and both territory and influence became more and more huge. And the ambition of the king of Wei also swelled. If it weren't for the fact that they later suffered a big loss in the battle of Qin and Wei because they angered the Qin State, I am afraid that their power would have expanded.

If there are still people who are afraid of the princes in the eyes of the King of Wei, then there are only Nie Feng, the king of Qin in the west, and Chu Lie, the king of Zhao in the east. In the depths of King Wei's heart, he always believed that sooner or later, the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be replaced and re-strengthened and unified. And the princes who replaced it could only come from the three families of Wei, Qin, and Zhao, and the others did not have this qualification at all.

This is an extreme conceit, but also a very sober realization. It is precisely for this reason that during these years, he has always attached great importance to the Qin State and the Zhao State. After settling a grudge with the Qin State, he immediately broke the knot and personally entrusted the book to the King of Qin, admitting that it was his mistake. and make remedial measures. He even did not hesitate to give his youngest daughter to the King of Qin as a concubine in order to restore the relationship between the two countries.

The huge gap in strength made him have to do this. And from that time on, the relationship between Wei and Qin was further strengthened. All the calls of the King of Qin, the Wei State immediately responded. Including such a major event as the attack on Zhao by the Five Kingdoms, he did not hesitate to send a large army. Although he later suffered a defeat, this is enough to show his attitude.

And the reason why King Wei was willing to do this was that he was keenly aware that the overall situation of the world would inevitably change dramatically after the death of King Chulie of Zhao. Nie Feng, the king of Qin, will never endure it anymore. As long as Wei follows behind Qin, waits for an opportunity, and bites off a piece of fat wherever there is an opportunity, it is the most correct choice.

King Wei was very satisfied to see that he didn't need to wait too long, and the opportunity came. Both Qin and Zhao launched several wars at the same time. He ordered the generals of Wei to mobilize Wei Wushu early on and intensify their training. Be ready to strike at any time.

And after detailed planning by him and several generals, it was finally decided to slash at Zhao Guo with the first sword. This is not only to repay the hatred at the beginning, but also for the most appropriate time at this time.

According to the intelligence heard back, it can be known that the army of Zhao State fought in two ways, one way in the territory of Yan State, and all the way to Qi State, all of which were far away from Dragon City. What is especially exciting is that Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, actually led his army to set off and went to the country of Qi. Dragon City was empty, and there weren't too many troops left behind. It would be stupid not to seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Eighty thousand Wei soldiers, led by the general Yan Hu, with the determination to take Longcheng in one go, and with the infinite expectations of the King of Wei, they entered the territory of Zhao in this way. This fierce general of the Wei State has already made a military order, if he does not set foot in Dragon City on this trip, he will come to see him.

The reason why he and the generals of Wei had such confidence was because they had a very clear understanding of the armament situation in Zhao. The Zhao troops scattered everywhere added up to only a few tens of thousands of people. They also had to guard against the covetousness of other princes, and it was simply impossible to mobilize all their forces to the northwest to confront the Wei army. The so-called plan and then act, everything is under control.

In fact, as they expected, although the defenders of Zhao State resisted desperately, they could not hold every pass at all in the face of such a huge disparity in power. Seeing that nearly a hundred miles of land was already under the control of the Wei army, the majestic general Yan Hu watched the troops under his command advance mightily, sweeping and advancing in a way that flattened all the obstacles in front of him, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, very proud.

"Dragon City is only a hundred miles away, pass on my order, and the army will march with all its might. Strive to capture Dragon City before the full moon night! When the time comes, I will celebrate with the generals in front of King Zhao's palace...... I heard that the wine produced in Zhao Kingdom is good, so you should not get drunk with all of you!"

The surrounding Wei soldiers thundered, and together they made a majestic sound of harmony. This way of raiding and advancing, the Zhao army was defeated and retreated, and there was no power to fight back at all. If it is at this rate, it will not be difficult to capture Dragon City before the full moon of this month.

Autumn is deepening, the wind is cool, and the Mid-Autumn Festival, the most important festival of this season, is coming. In his opinion, if the soldiers who were far away from the Wei conquest could celebrate their victory in the royal capital of the enemy country, they might be able to ease their nostalgia for their homeland!

A mountain and river divide into two boundaries, thousands of miles north and south at different times. The sky in the north is like ink, and the moon will be full. In the south of the big river, the border of Zhongzhou in the north of Zhongyue Mountain, but the rain is fierce, and once it rains, it seems that it does not stop.

This kind of weather is certainly annoying. It caused a lot of inconvenience to the people who were fighting. But at the same time, it also brought a rare truce time to this battlefield that had just been fiercely engaged.

It had been raining since the night before and had been raining for a day and two nights. Looking at this momentum, it seems that there is no sign of stopping in the short term.

During this period of time, neither the Qin army nor the coalition of several small princes acted rashly. However, although there were no major battles, some small-scale exploratory attacks could not be avoided. In particular, the cavalry of Qin and Zhao had fought several times. Both sides hurt each other, and there is no need to go into details.

Wang Feng, who was watching the rain in the camp of the Qin army, also felt a little helpless. But he wasn't agitated. Every time you are in a big war, you can be calm and calm, so that you can be better thoughtful. If you want a hearty victory, even if it is delayed for a long time, it is worth it.

It rained heavily from the sky, and it was not possible to go into a large-scale battle, so it was just right to recuperate and recuperate, and all the soldiers could cultivate their spirits so that they could exert their strongest combat effectiveness after the start of the war. Moreover, as a veteran of a hundred battles, he has always believed that using all sources to determine the next movement of the enemy army is the most critical point in deploying on the battlefield. And now this gap is undoubtedly very rare.

The scouts and assassination spies in the Qin army braved the rain to set out, and they kept sending back all the news about the Zhao army. These were all put in front of Wang Feng for him to make a judgment.

"Chu Jiangmian, this kid is really too self-conscious! He only brought 8,000 cavalry from the Zhao State to dare to run here to do his best. I'm afraid that even Chu Lie back then was not as bold as him, right? ”

Wang Feng stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the rain curtain between heaven and earth, he very much hoped that the rain would stop soon. Because, he already has a very stable combat deployment in mind. And Nie Wushuang, who was sitting on the side, had already listened to his analysis just now. He completely agreed with Wang Feng's plan to use cavalry as the main force to attack the Zhao army on both flanks.

He thought he had won a few battles, and he was proud! The previous times he had given him the advantage of the home field, but now that he is here, he wants to retreat with his whole body, but he is more than the sky! Hum! On this flat battlefield, if you want to compete with our Great Qin Iron Cavalry, the people of Zhao are still far behind!"

Nie Wushuang's eyes were full of jealousy, but his tone was full of disdain. The strength of the Qin cavalry is known to the world. Even the barbarians in the northwest did not dare to attack easily, let alone fight face-to-face with them on a large scale. A mere 8,000 cavalry of the Zhao State was by no means their opponent. As for those Qi people who came together, they didn't care about it.

"What the young master said is very true. When the rain stops, let's fight according to the plan we have made! Cavalry is the mainstay, and foot soldiers advance in array. Those princes' soldiers and horses can just be used to consume the combat effectiveness of Zhao's army...... In this way, after the destruction of Los Angeles, these guys will sleep here and dream! Hahaha!"

Wang Feng stretched out his arms, feeling the humidity and cold in the air, and he couldn't help laughing. There were no outsiders here, so he and Nie Wushuang naturally didn't have to hide these intentions. Since those small princes are willing to be the minions of the Qin State, they must have the consciousness of being minions. Dedicating oneself to the great cause of the King of Qin was originally their inescapable fate.

The night rain is like a pour, and the Luo River is full of water. The stagnant water in the valleys of Zhongyue Mountain flows down the terrain, forming long and surging dragons that flow into the Luo River from different directions. Within a radius of dozens of miles, the rumbling sound like thunder could be heard.

Scouts and spies who spy on news will encounter opponents in the rain at any time. Mercilessly strangled, the blood was immediately diluted by the rain. Before the start of the battlefield of thousands of troops, this is the battle of their people.

The blue bird, who led a small group of people to explore the terrain according to Chu Jiangmian's personal orders, finally came back before dawn. After listening to his detailed report, Chu Jiangmian Huo Ran got up and walked quickly to the sand table, and an irrepressible joy appeared on his face.
