The two pieces of news that the Yan army in the Bauhinia Pass had just gotten had already known to the Zhao Guojun outside the pass before them. Just two hours ago, before the army reached the Bauhinia Pass, Murong Licheng, as the vanguard army, had already received two urgent military messages one after another.

Murong Licheng, who was fully armored, was no longer the original wood-chopping boy. After more than half a year of battlefield training, it is like an unsheathed sword, and his light is gradually blooming.

Since the end of the Battle of Yanling Pass, after continuous expansion, the scale of the Tiger Ben Army has now reached more than 10,000 horsemen. And the war horses, which are vital to the cavalry troops, are very abundant in their hands. Naturally, all of this was thanks to the seizures from the Hu people.

I have to say that the victory in the Battle of Yanling Pass is of great significance to the people of Zhao. They not only severely damaged the Huyan tribe, one of the four major tribes of the grassland, but also greatly damaged their vitality after this battle, and they no longer dared to come south to plunder at will in a short period of time. And, more importantly, the army received a large number of good horses.

For a long time, the reason why Hu Qi is powerful is largely due to the strength of the war horse. Because of the special geographical environment and climatic conditions of the grassland, the horses grown there are naturally excellent breeds. The Hu people rode them in all directions, conquering and plundering, becoming their greatest help.

It is not an easy task for the princes' armies in the Central Plains to get such a war horse. Whether it is the Qin State, or the Yan State, the Zhao State and other princes who attach great importance to the development of cavalry, they have tried their best to get good horses from the grassland, but after all, the number is limited and cannot meet the needs of the development of the army.

There's no way around it. Although the Hu people are brutal and murderous, they are not brainless fools. On the contrary, they are cunning when it comes to some of the big plans for survival. How could the Hu people, who had obtained everything with their fierce horses and scimitars, easily let others get their horses? They never buy or sell the best war horses, even if a merchant from the Central Plains pays a large price, it is very difficult to do.

The grassland horses obtained by the princes of the Central Plains through various channels are basically selected inferior horses, and even such horses are very rare. Compared with the horses bred in the Central Plains, they also have a great advantage in terms of endurance and explosiveness. This can be imagined how much the princes' armies suffered losses in the previous war with the Hu people.

It is for this reason that after the end of the Battle of Yanling Pass, the Zhao army, who captured a large number of grassland war horses, was very happy. The elite troops of the Huyan tribe rode all purebred horses, and after the inventory, the people of Zhao got a total of nearly 15,000 war horses. This is undoubtedly a huge gain.

And Li Mu, who was in charge of this matter, did not hesitate to hand over the control of these war horses to Murong Licheng. Li Mu, who was deeply aware of the great significance of this, very much hoped that Zhao Guo could use these horses to form more elite cavalry troops. Then, after he and Murong left the city, he selected 5,000 brave soldiers from the army and added them to the Tiger Ben army.

And this cavalry, which has an establishment of more than 10,000 people, can basically be equipped with two war horses per person. In this respect, this means that they are already capable of running long distances. A cavalry unit that could truly fight independently was formally formed from this time.

It is precisely because the Tiger Ben Army has such strength that their combat level has been greatly improved. That's why in such a short period of time, he was able to win consecutive battles all the way, swept over more than 600 miles of land like a whirlwind and clouds, and attacked all the way to the front of Bauhinia Pass.

The cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army, which was the forward force, was almost a hundred miles apart from the Li Mu infantry army that was following behind to clean up the mess. They're just too fast. If it weren't for the Bauhinia Pass blocking the way, maybe you would have been able to see the walls of Jicheng at this moment.

It was under such circumstances that Murong left the city and received the latest news from the Qi Kingdom. By the time he finished reading it right away, he couldn't help but show joy on his face.

It was rare for the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army to see their young generals have such expressions. On the battlefield of the charge, he always commands everything with extraordinary calm. And after every victory, this brave and invincible young man will look at the soldiers under his command and cheer indifferently. Perhaps, only those who know his mind best will know that his joys, sorrows and sorrows are only presented to the people he trusts the most.

"The king personally led the soldiers east to the Qi country to rescue, ambushed Mu Xueqing, and annihilated the Qinyan coalition army, and has already won a great victory......!"

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Murong Licheng had already told them loudly. For him, such a joyful mood that can't help but laugh is extremely rare.

The surrounding Tiger Ben Army cavalry all heard the news clearly. Although it was a victory far away in the Qi country, they all beat their swords on the saddle and cheered. Because everyone understands very well that such a victory will be a major blow to Yan Guo. What's more, it was the famous general Mu Xueqing who was killed in one fell swoop!

"General! That's great. Mighty king! We are willing to fight to the death to capture the Bauhinia Pass, lest we not be able to keep up with the king's footsteps! ”

Someone raised their arms next to them, and everyone echoed them. There is no doubt that this is their common wish. With such a king as an example, and such a general to lead them, they have absolute confidence in winning any victory!

"Good! That's exactly what I thought! ”

Murong Licheng stuck the halberd in his hand on the ground and jumped off the horse. In his young and proud heart, if there is one person in this world who can convince him, it is Chu Jiangmian. Even if he is not the identity of King Zhao, with only the command ability of these several major battles, he is not inferior to any famous general in the world. Ever since they met in Zhongyue Mountain, he has always regarded his back as the direction he is pursuing.

"General! Give the order! We're ready to play at any time. ”

Several generals and lieutenants were enthusiastic and shouted orders. Although they faced several times as many enemy troops as they were, in the hearts of these heroic and fearless people, it was only a ladder for them to seize the supreme glory.

"Pass the order, rest well tonight, and prepare for tomorrow's battle!"

When twilight fell, Murong left the city and looked at the Bauhinia Pass city wall in the distance, and suddenly remembered that when he was fleeing, he and his sister had passed by here, and those pursuers persevered, and there was a bloody battle outside the south city gate, and he used that knife to kill everyone with all his might. And he himself was seriously injured, and finally did not dare to hide in the territory of Yan Kingdom. It was from here that the two siblings were forced to leave their homeland and went into exile all the way to Zhongyue Mountain.

Now, he has finally returned with the courage to take revenge. Thousands of troops, heroic. As long as you cross this gate again, it doesn't take a day or a night to go directly to the royal capital Jicheng. It's just a pity that the Yan King died.

"Sister, don't worry! I will use the blood and heads of all my enemies to pay tribute to my dead people...... None of them can run! ”

Murong left the city and sat in a makeshift tent, waiting for the dawn to come. He had already sent the flying cavalry to inform Li Mu of his battle plan behind. I believe that this general, who is good at using soldiers, will definitely actively cooperate and jointly destroy the enemy army.

Outside the Bauhinia Pass, on the first day of the match, the two sides had several small-scale battles. Faced with the challenge of the Zhao cavalry outside the city, the Yan generals at the head of the city finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they sent 2,000 cavalry to annihilate the Zhao people who were unreasonably abusing under the city in one fell swoop. However, he didn't expect that the other party would run away at the touch of a button and run faster than a rabbit. After two or three times like this, Zhao Jun's performance simply disappointed the Yan army in the city. I was thinking of having a good fight with them, but I didn't expect that they were all bluffing guys. In that case, what is there to be afraid of?

So, the generals and colonels of the Yan army came to the general together and asked to go to war. Ning Hu, who had watched the battle at the head of the city during the day, had deep doubts in his heart. He never believed that the Zhao army would be so vulnerable. If they were really that weak, how could they have won consecutive battles and fought all the way here.

Moreover, what puzzled him the most was that until now, only the cavalry troops of the Zhao State were outside the city. The legendary 20,000 foot soldiers have never been seen. The scouts sent out from the city did not send back any useful news. If the expectation is good, it is likely to be intercepted by the Zhao people. Originally, in this case, he did not want to give the order to go out of the city to fight easily. However, because of the envoy of King Yan, he had to give in.

"General Ning, now that the country is in a critical situation, King Yan has just ascended to the throne, and he needs a big victory to quickly stabilize people's hearts! Doesn't the general want to be the one who turns the tide? King Yan is looking forward to it day and night in Jicheng! ”

Ning Hu looked at the expression of the envoy who represented the will of King Yan as he spoke, and then glanced at the soldiers with high fighting spirit, and he finally made up his mind.

"In that case, let's all go down and prepare! After tomorrow, start taking the initiative. ”

Earlier, Ning Hu had already assigned the 60,000-strong army at Bauhinia Pass to the Horn Momentum in response to the arrival of the Zhao army. After further discussion, the Yan cavalry and some of the infantry soldiers stationed in the city each received their own combat missions. And the two large battalions guarding the left and right flanks of Bauhinia Pass in two directions outside the city, their generals also received different orders.

It's just that Ning Hu and the Yan army in the city never thought that the Zhao army on the opposite side had already taken the lead and launched an attack earlier than them.
