Chapter 356: Iron Cavalry Lian Mo Horizontal Knife Walk
The Northern War, which took place in the late autumn of that year, affected almost the entire world. Soon after, it became a symbol of the official rise of a glorious dynasty.
And at that time, it was just a time of thunderstorm. Most people are mixed and are not too sure about the victory they hope will be. Especially when the smoke and dust from the north overflow Yanshan, it is even more uneasy.
Today, the success or failure of King Zhao is no longer just a matter of this corner of Zhao State. When the power of this northern vassal state has occupied nearly half of the world's land, the influence of this king has become very important.
East and west, north and south of the Yangtze River, the boundary of Zhongzhou, the land of Wuyue...... Countless people who were affected by King Zhao were extremely concerned about this war with an unprecedented tense attitude. Deep down, of course, they hope that Zhao Guo can win. The reason for this is because of the great benefit they have received.
From ancient times to the present, the people's eyes are bright. Whoever can truly bring a stable life to himself, and who can give ordinary people the hope of living and working in peace and contentment, is the person chosen by the people.
When the declining Great Zhou Dynasty finally perished completely, what kind of character should there be to regain control and avoid the chaos of the world. In fact, the right choice has long been made in the minds of ordinary people.
The solid foundation laid by King Chulie of Zhao ten years ago has finally been carried forward in the hands of his inheritors. Moreover, this gifted young man has used the past ten years to develop the great cause of inheritance to a point that is stunning.
If by this time, some people still think that he is just a gentleman who has not much ability, then maybe there are only some enemies of him. They still don't want to admit it. Everything that Zhao Guo has achieved is good luck in their eyes. And when this good fortune is squandered, it is time to begin to perish.
The way of heaven is reincarnated, impartial. How can God favor one person alone? Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. Watching the Nether War raging, killing each other, depriving the new-handed re-deprivation, and ruining the glory and disrepute...... These are God's favorite things to do.
In front of Hangu Pass, the 300,000 troops had all been assembled. These armies, which were gathered from all over the Qin state, were an important force on which to ensure the strong expansion of this vassal state. Now, when they put on their black armor and stepped out of Hangu Pass under the guidance of the hunting battle flag, everyone's hearts were filled with the pride of going to battle.
Once upon a time, Qin, as an important enemy of many other vassal states, had been attacked several times in the past few years. The allied armies of the vassal states once fought in front of Hangu Pass, and fought countless large-scale and tragic battles. But without exception, no matter which vassal state's soldiers and horses have never entered Hangu Pass.
This majestic pass guarding the mountains and rivers of the Qin State could not firmly block the soldiers from all over the world. Feathered arrows from any direction will have difficulty crossing the walls. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. There is no doubt that Hangu Pass is the throat of the Qin State.
And now, the thousands of troops that rushed out of this throat let out a deafening shout. Over the past hundred years, the military prestige and glory of Great Qin have formed the concept of invincibility in their hearts. When this armor is worn on the body, the horse and long knife in front of Hangu Pass, and the flag covers the sky and the sun. Every soldier in this army is full of pride that sweeps the world.
Perhaps, the only one among these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses who did not wear armor was Wu Pingjun to comfort Wuzi. This man, who had made great contributions to the expansion and development of the Qin state during the time of the first king, followed the army, his face was heavy, and he looked a little worried.
What outsiders don't know is that since the death of Nie Feng, the king of Qin, Wei Wuzi has fallen into a contradictory state of mind. After the drastic change in Feng'an City that day, he had a hunch that maybe no matter what he did, it would be difficult for him to have a good ending. If you want to talk about it, Nie Wushuang, who has just inherited the throne, still maintains respect for him. And his power was not limited in the slightest. If nothing else, I believe that in the official reward in the near future, he will receive an even more generous reward. In any case, it is the time for the Qin State to employ people, and Wu Pingjun's identity and status are not replaced.
But even so, Wei Wuzi still had such a strong premonition in his heart. He had already sensed from some subtleties that Nie Wushuang didn't trust him, not at all! And he was very vigilant. How can these things be concealed from his discerning eyes?
However, Wei Wuzi, who knew this, had no choice. Whether it is for the sake of the previous glory and the unfinished business, he must do his best to help the Qin State. This time, when the life-and-death decision related to the fortunes of the country was in front of him, the actual leader of the Qin State Hook Elimination Division, he went out with the army without hesitation.
The war with Zhao will be an important opportunity to decide the life and death of Qin. He has devoted most of his life to this country, and he must not watch it be destroyed. And, even if he didn't, he was going to have a good fight with the young man.
I heard that King Zhao had made an oath that if the Qin State fell one day in the future, ordinary people could be treated fairly and would not be held accountable. Only a part of them are on the list of non-pardons. He comforted Wuzi just among them, and he was the one at the top of the list. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a heinous sin. And the reason why he couldn't get forgiveness was just because he hurt a woman in the Nine Elements Mountain.
Wei Wuzi couldn't laugh or cry about the special "treatment" he received. Unexpectedly, Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian turned out to be a lover of personality. And it will be so affectionate to a woman. Recalling the scene in the Nine Elements Mountain, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. If it weren't for that intractable feud, I would be very interested in going to Zhao again and visiting Shang Yunbai, who has become a famous general of Zhao State!
But it's too late to say anything now. Shang Yunbai, who used to have a good friend, has surrendered to King Zhao and made great achievements for him. has already become the enemy of the Qin State. This is the end of their friendship. If you meet again, it should be your own master, you live or die!
"Wu Pingjun, the army is dispatched, and the national war is current. Military aircraft are changing rapidly. In order to gain the first opportunity and grasp the victory, you also need the full assistance of the Hook Elimination Division...... It's hard work!"
Meng Wu, who was wearing the armor of a great general, tied a black veil between his arms, and his expression was grim. It was filial piety for his brother. He had made a public oath. When the army breaks through Dragon City, he will attack this black veil on the main hall of Jinxiang Palace. In the past eventful years, their brothers have always lived and died together, advancing and retreating together. In the battle to destroy Zhao, of course he would not let his brother feel lonely under the Yellow Spring.
"General Meng, please rest assured! Militaristic affairs are not child's play. Since the king launched the war order, the Hook and Annihilation Office has all been dispatched to all parts of the Central Plains. All kinds of news come all the time...... As long as the general needs to know, he can naturally know it at the first time. ”
Meng Wu, who received the assurances from Wei Wuzi, nodded with satisfaction. In fact, from his heart, he didn't really want Wei Wuzi to fight with the army. This person has a special status, is old, and has made outstanding achievements. Many officers and men in the army have a long history with it, and they cannot easily offend. However, the power of the Hook Annihilation Department is not trivial, if he wants to get twice the result with half the effort on the battlefield, he needs to use it well.
Soon after, the Qin army began to advance in a big way. Their battle plan this time was to divide their troops into two ways. All the way from the old land of Wei to the east. On the other hand, it bypassed the foot of Shu Mountain and fought in a roundabout way from the occupied Shu land. The two armies echoed each other from afar and marched in unison. If you add the Hu cavalry due north, then these hundreds of thousands of troops form a semi-arc encirclement, like an iron pincer firmly embedding the area where Zhao Guolongcheng is located.
"Although the cavalry of Zhao is powerful, in recent years, in order to consolidate the territory obtained, the king of Zhao has sent them to guard the four directions. Those places were not peaceful, and Zhao Jun did not dare to leave easily. Even if Zhao Guo's base camp and Dragon City were in danger, they were not able to return to the aid at all...... Hehe! General Meng has the victory in his hands this time, and he will definitely establish a peerless feat!"
And riding on the war horse, Wei Wuzi retracted his other thoughts and congratulated Meng Wu first. The smoke and dust galloping from thousands of troops and horses in front of him obscured the sky at all corners, and such a majestic momentum made him feel a long-lost pride in his heart. And General Mengwu, who was galloping on horseback, brandished his horsewhip and laughed.
"Wu Pingjun, in fact, if you go to destroy the Zhao State like this, if it is too easy to win, it will not be much fun. I hope that all the cavalry of the Zhao State can rush back and have a face-to-face formal decisive battle with my Great Qin soldiers and horses on the land of Yan and Zhao. I heard that King Zhao already has four powerful armies under the command of the scale of the formation, what tiger and dragon horseman...... Hahaha! I want to see if they are as powerful as they boasted?! Iron cavalry Lian Mo, millions of soldiers, can live up to my ambition as a great Qin man!"
With the direction pointed by Meng Wu's long sword, tens of thousands of Qin troops let out an earth-shattering cry together. Iron hooves shook the earth, and swords obscured the sun. From now on, everything will be tread flat wherever it passes.
In the autumn of that year, the battle between Qin and Zhao officially kicked off. Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, who was sitting in Dragon City, listened to the military reports that kept coming from three directions, and his brows furrowed tightly. Faced with such a decisive battle of unprecedented scale, even he lost his usual calmness.
Since the start of the war for more than ten days, the Qin army has advanced in a big way, attacking cities and conquering places, and the edge is difficult to resist. And in the lands of the princes who had previously subdued, some of the remnants of the forces were also ready to move. Although it was difficult for them to succeed, they restrained many of the forces of the Zhao army. So much so that in his military layout, he finally seemed a little passive.
"Where is General Murong now?"
Standing at the head of the city and looking at King Zhao for a long time, his eyes flashed with hope. In the game-breaking battle, he put it on the young general who regarded him as his brother.
