Zhaoguo Hedong County, Pujindu.

As the largest Yellow River crossing between Qin and Zhao, Pujindu had been completely closed due to the start of the war.

And after the Qin army arrived on the other side of Pujindu three days ago, the level of vigilance here immediately reached the highest level.

The lieutenant general of the Northern Army of Zhao Guo, who was responsible for sitting in and defending the direction of the entire Hedong County, had already led 50,000 horses under his command to rush here, and sent a large number of secret agents for hundreds of miles upstream and downstream to strictly prevent the Qin army from crossing the river.

In addition, Ju Xin also immediately sent people to the two counties of Hetao in the north, so that Li Mu over there immediately led the cavalry south to Guanzhong, so as to achieve the goal of containing the Qin people from the flank and rear.

Ju Xin stood on the pier of the ferry, facing the surging river, looking at the land of Guanzhong on the other side of the Yellow River, and the almost endless Qin military camp tent in his sight, with a trace of apprehension and a little expectation in his heart.

Anxiety is inevitable, according to the previous intelligence, this time the Qin State has dispatched 200,000 soldiers and horses, which can be said to be the elite, and the leader is still the famous Wu Anjun Bai Qi.

Although it is said that Bai Qi suffered a defeat in the Battle of Changping, Ji Xin, who knows the inside story very well, knows very well that this defeat is not so much Bai Qi's defeat, but rather a chain reaction caused by Qin's failure in diplomacy.

Bai Qi is definitely a terrible enemy that makes any opponent feel nervous when facing him.

If you look forward to it, it's easier to explain, this is Wu Anjun on the other side!

Although Bai Qi is no longer the Wu Anjun with an undefeated name, as long as he can thwart Bai Qi's offensive, Ji Xin's credit this time will definitely be stable and great.

To be honest, Ju Xin is actually a little dissatisfied with his situation now.

You must know that Ji Xin served as Yaqing in Yan Guo before, and he belongs to the out-and-out core leadership of Yan Guo.

But later, because of the new king's accession to the throne, Ju Xin was abandoned by King Yan Wucheng, and was forced to go into the wild to live in seclusion in the Yan Kingdom for more than ten years, and then came to the Zhao State under the persuasion of his old friend Pang Xuan and became a general of the Zhao State.

From this point of view, Ji Xin feels that he is more condescending, and the dignified Yan Guoyaqing can only be a general?

But soon Ju Xin has already adjusted his mentality, after all, he has been in seclusion for more than ten years, and it is impossible for King Zhao to give Ju Xin any more important positions as soon as he comes up, and the general is not bad, so let's do it slowly.

However, what Ji Xin didn't expect was that his general would work for five years.

Although it is said that in the past five years, Ju Xin has not been promoted to the rank of knight, but compared with the reality that Pang Xuan has now become one of the core leaders of Zhao State, Ju Xin is relatively dissatisfied with his current official position as a lieutenant general in the Northern Army.

What people are afraid of is comparison. Other people's children, other people's husbands, other people's fathers, in short, other people's things are very annoying things.

Ji Xin hated other people's Pang Xuan very much at this time.

Compared with Pang Xuan, today's drama Xin is really inferior in terms of official position, achievements and reputation.

This person is more than human, and he is really going to be angry.

So Ji Xin felt that he had to work hard.

If you are not satisfied with the status quo, then of course you can only rely on your own efforts to fight for some bargaining chips for your promotion.

Of course, there are also ways to have some negative energy, that is, to engage in some conspiracy to get Pang Xuan down, and then Ji Xin himself replaces him.

But Juxin didn't bother to do that.

The talent in the old man's chest is not inferior to Pang Xuan, so why do you do that!

In Ji Xin's view, the current war to defend Hedong is an excellent opportunity to prove his talent.

The old general stood in the wind, his face full of determination.

We must not be able to let Bai Qi and the Qin army step into Hedong County!

At this moment, the troops in Ji Xin's hands are far less than Bai Qi's.

Bai Qi had 200,000 elite soldiers in his hands, but Ju Xin's hands only had 50,000 troops composed of 20,000 standing troops of Hedong County of Zhao State and 30,000 soldiers of Hedong County.

Therefore, once Bai Qi is allowed to cross the Yellow River, then with the 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, Ju Xin will definitely not be able to compete with Bai Qi.

But Juxin is not without good news, that is, it is summer, and the Qin people must use boats to cross the Yellow River to the east bank.

If it is in winter, the Yellow River will directly freeze on the river, and at that time, the people of the Qin State can directly rely on their feet and even ride horses and drag carts to attack Hedong County, which is really a big trouble.

In order to deal with the Qin army's big ships, Ju Xin had already begun to gather craftsmen to mobilize materials and start making a large number of bed crossbows when he first arrived in Hedong County.

The bed crossbow may not be as effective as a trebuchet when used against thick city walls, but when facing wooden ship planks, a bed crossbow that is far more accurate than a trebuchet has become the strongest defensive weapon for the Zhao army.

Earlier yesterday, the Qin army had tentatively launched a river crossing operation.

And Ji Xin, who discovered this river crossing operation, immediately mobilized hundreds of bed crossbows and carried out an intensive attack on the ships of the Qin army.

After leaving behind the fragments of a dozen large ships and the lives of thousands of Qin soldiers, the Qin army wisely gave up its plan to continue crossing the river, and the remaining large ships turned around and turned back to the west bank, and the defenders of Zhao won the first battle.

After that, the people of Qin seemed to be a lot more honest, which also made Ju Xin a little relieved.

For the current drama Xin, what he does is actually very simple, that is, waiting.

Now that the Qin people have officially sent troops, it is naturally impossible for Handan to turn a blind eye to this.

In as little as ten days and as much as half a month, reinforcements from Jinyang, Shangdang, Handan and other places will arrive one after another.

At that time, the soldiers and horses in the hands of Ju Xin could reach or even exceed 200,000 people, and he was qualified to play a good game with Bai Qi in this battlefield.

Thinking about it, a strong fighting spirit slowly emerged from Ji Xin's old face.

Wu Anjun, Wu Anjun, everyone in the world says that you are the god of war of the Qin State, so let me see how you, the god of war of the Qin State, plan to break through my Yellow River defense line!

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and Ju Xin subconsciously turned his head and found that a scout from Zhao Guo was rushing at great speed.

"General, it's not good, it's not good!"

Ji Xin frowned slightly, as a commander, he actually didn't like to see his subordinates panicked.

"What's going on, could it be that the people of the Qin State are preparing to cross the river again?"

The scout with a dusty look nodded in a panic and said, "Exactly!" No, no, it's actually ......"

Speaking of this, Ju Xin was already a little unbearable, and interrupted the scout's words: "What the hell is going on, come quickly!" ”

The scout took a few heavy breaths before he gave the final answer.

"General, the people of Qin have crossed the Yellow River!"
