Just when Ju Xin led the 50,000 Zhao troops of Pujindu to retreat, what he didn't know was that at the shore gate pass hundreds of miles away, a 25,000-strong Qin army had been set off for a long time.

The commander of this army was none other than Sima Jin, the general of the Qin army.

Since the defeat of the last Guanzhong army, the Wang Shuangxiong, who originally controlled the Qin army, has lost power, so this time the leader of the Qin army's strange soldiers has changed from the second king to Sima Jin.

Sima Jin is the number one person in terms of force value, but when it comes to this kind of really independent leader in battle, it is actually the first time that the eldest girl has been on a sedan chair.

Fortunately, Bai Qi was obviously very aware of Sima Jin's shortcomings, so he sent him a deputy as an assistant.

It is worth mentioning that this lieutenant general is also surnamed Wang.

Wang Qian.

Speaking of Wang Qian's experience, it is also very interesting.

In the past few years, when Wang Jian faced Zhao Guoren, he really didn't get any bargains.

In the battle of Tunliu, Wang Jian had obviously killed the head of the city, but was forced to retreat because of the arrival of Zhao reinforcements.

A few years ago, in the last battle of Qinzhao Hedong County, Zhao Kuo led his army to attack the shore gate pass, and Wang Jian happened to be the guard of the shore gate pass, and in that confrontation, it also ended in Wang Qian's defeat.

After the defeat at the Anmen Pass, Wang Jian was demoted to a hundred generals because of the defeat.

But speaking of which, the Wang family is a big family after all, after Wang Ling and Wang Ji both lost power, Wang Qian's group of juniors began to get the full support and resource tilt of the Wang family.

So in the rebellion of the Qu people, Wang Jian got another opportunity because of the full operation of the family.

As the saying goes, gold always shines, and Wang Qian's ability and military exploits in the past two years have allowed him to climb again step by step.

Seeking victory in stability, but daring to fight at critical moments, this is the impression of the high-level of the Qin State on Wang Qian.

Two months ago, when Wang Jian was the first to lead his cavalry into Yiqu City, recovering this city, which was basically empty, Wang Jian was once again promoted to the general of the Qin State, and got the opportunity to assist Sima Jin in this war.

This time to recapture the shore gate pass from the hands of Zhao Guoren, Wang Jian was also very excited in his heart, and almost left tears.

In order to calm his grief, Wang Jian personally cut off the heads of fifty-six Zhao army captives, and used these heads to pay tribute to the robes of the old Qin people who died here in battle.

In addition, Wang Jian also closed the entire shore gate last night in the name of patrolling and walked back and forth several times, wanting to relive the memories of being stationed here.

After half a night, Wang Jian found a lot of military salaries and property that the soldiers of Zhao State had not taken away because they fled in a hurry, which can be said to be quite rewarding.

At this moment, the Qin army led by Sima Jin and Wang Jian was heading upstream, heading all the way to the east.

In fact, the target of this army was not Pujindu in the south at all, but the Jiangcheng City, which was once the former capital of the Jin Kingdom hundreds of miles to the east.

It was the moment when he had just used the morning food, Sima Jin was holding a straw in his mouth that he didn't know where to pick it from, and while sitting on a horse and walking leisurely, he chatted with Wang Jian who was also riding a horse and dangling around him.

"Wang Qian, this saddle stirrup and other harness are really good things! You say how did the people of Zhao make such a treasure? ”

Since Li Mu led the cavalry of the Zhao State to run rampant in the land of the Qin State two years ago, the vigilance against the cavalry of the Zhao State was immediately raised to the highest level by the Qin State.

If you want to defeat your enemies, you must first understand them. Under the full operation of the intelligence organization, although it is not clear where the armor of armored cavalry came from and how it was made, the most basic harness was still known to the Qin people.

So naturally, saddles, stirrups and even horseshoes and other horse harnesses were fully installed on the war horses of the Qin State.

To put it bluntly, the technical nature of these harnesses is not so strong, as long as you get the finished product, you can imitate it in minutes.

Wang Jian shook his head and said, "General, these are just craftsmen's things, although they are also helpful, but they are not the point of victory or defeat. ”

Sima Jin laughed and spit out the straw stalks in his mouth: "Yes, this war, it should rely on the bravery of the soldiers to decide the victory, if there is an enemy in front of him, then he will kill it with a sword, where do you come from so many twists and turns!" ”

Wang Jian coughed, a hesitant look flashed on his face, and said to Sima Jin: "General, the general has a plan, I don't know if the general can allow it?" ”

"Strategy?" Sima Jin scratched his head and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Wang Jian said: "General, now that the drama Xin has transferred all the county soldiers in the entire Hedong County to the side of Pujindu, there must be an emptiness in Jiangcheng. If the general is willing to give me 1,000 light cavalry, then I can raid Jiangcheng as quickly as possible and take it directly! ”

Sima Jin was stunned when he heard this: "A thousand cavalry can conquer Jiangcheng?" ”

Wang Jian nodded very affirmatively, and said to Sima Jin: "Yes, a thousand cavalry is enough!" ”

After a pause, Wang Jian said: "If the general allows it, then in fact, I would like to be able to bring all the 2,000 cavalry to Jiangcheng." ”

Sima Jin's face gradually became serious, and he looked at Wang Jian in front of him: "You are so confident?" ”

Wang Jian stiffened his chest: "If the army is defeated, Wang Jian is willing to be dealt with by military law!" ”

"Military justice?" Sima Jin snorted, and there was no expression on his face.

Wang Jian looked at Sima Jin's appearance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "It seems that this Sima general, like other generals, has not studied the cavalry of Zhao State enough." ”

As a person who suffered a big loss at the hands of the cavalry of Zhao State twice, Wang Jian studied the cavalry of Zhao State in detail during the dormant days, and obtained a lot of information about the cavalry of Zhao State with the help of his family.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Jian can now be said to be the most familiar person with the cavalry of the Zhao State in the entire Qin State.

Wang Jian has come to a conclusion in his research in the past two years, that is, the most powerful ability of cavalry is actually not combat, but far beyond the flexibility and mobility of infantry!

It was as if now, Sima Jin was marching all the way with 25,000 troops, and it would take at least five days to reach the bottom of Jiangcheng.

And if Wang Jian had 2,000 cavalry in his hands, he would be able to reach Jiangcheng in two days at most.

In two days, I'm afraid that the Jiangcheng side has not received the news that the front line of the shore gate has been defeated and lost.

But if it takes five days, then there will be some rumors on the other side of Jiangcheng, and the security level will be raised.

The three-day time difference is an excellent opportunity for the Qin army to take advantage of!

But looking at Sima Jin's appearance now, he obviously didn't believe Wang Qian's words very much, and despite Wang Qian's repeated persuasion, the general of the Qin State only kept frowning and listening, and there was no sign of wanting to say yes.

Just when Wang Jian turned his head in disappointment, Sima Jin's words suddenly sounded in his ears: "Since this is the case, then I will give you 1,500 cavalry." If you can't take Jiangcheng, then I will deal with your military law! ”

Wang Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly gave a military salute to Sima Jin: "Please rest assured general, Wang Jian will definitely take Jiangcheng for the general!" ”

A moment later, the smoke and dust billowed on the south bank of the Fenshui River, and a cavalry under the leadership of Wang Jian was like a dragon out of the water, heading straight towards Jiangcheng without stopping.
