Chapter 230: Confrontation (1)

Thundered~

The mountains collapsed, thousands of horses galloped, and the boundless black cavalry was like a torrent that suddenly swept in, instantly flooding the land outside the city of Yiju.

100,000 Great Qin Iron Horsemen, made a roundabout detour of nearly a thousand miles, traveled lightly for dozens of days, and finally arrived at Yizhou City.

"The Qin army has arrived!"

On the upper floor of Yizhou City, Shi Fengru, the former supervisor of Shidao County, and the others looked at the boundless Qin army outside the city that was overwhelmed by the black clouds, and muttered in a low voice with a pale face.

In two days, the city of Uiju has completely changed.

As Zhong Ion expected, when the news that he led his troops to intercept and kill Zhou Cang was transmitted back to Yizhou City, the Cui family really fell completely to Great Qin.

Cui Daoheng decisively ordered Liu Yun to lead 30,000 righteous warriors to take over the defense of Yizhou City, except for Su Ze, who led 3,000 cronies to Beiguan City first, and wiped out Feng Ru, the three wealthy merchants and other forces.

Now, the only way in front of them is to surrender to the Qin army.

"The last general, Zhong Ion, see the major general!"

The 100,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry spread out the formation and stopped outside Yizhou City, and Zhong Ion took the lead to meet him, bowing down and saluting.

"Cui Daoheng of Shidao County, I have seen the major general!"

Cui Daoheng on the side followed closely to see the ceremony, looking at Wang Ben, who was heroic in front of the 100,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry Formation, his heart was extremely bitter, this was likely to become the strongest backer of the Cui family, but now he was afraid that he would miss it.

Wang Ben, Marquis Wucheng of the Great Qin, the son of the general Wang Qian, this young general who is only over 20 years old has already shown his outstanding military talent.

In several battles in which Wang Jian annihilated the former Shu Wangjian and the ancient Shu Kingdom, it was precisely because of the outstanding performance of the 100,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry led by Wang Ben that the Qin army was able to break through all the way, and in just a few months, it successively annexed Wuzhou, Lizhou, Mianzhou and other rich places.

Now with the power of 100,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry, he is coming to Yizhou City, and the compelling momentum alone is so overwhelming that everyone can't raise their heads.

"Zhong Ion did not do his job well, failed to take Beiguan City, and asked the major general to punish him!"

Zhong Cheng slammed his head on the ground and pleaded guilty to Wang Ben.

"Zhong Ion, get up! Without the support of the army, it is already a great achievement for you to take a lone army to help Lord Cui control Shidao County, what a crime! ”

Wang Benqi took a few steps forward and helped Zhong Ion to appease him.

Wang Ben was young and in a high position, and he was able to take charge of 100,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry to conquer the south and the north.

"As for Beiguan City, I will lead the army to retrieve it!"

Speaking of Beiguan City, a cold glint flashed in Wang Ben's eyes, and he said in a calm tone.

Beiguan City is a big deal, and he is determined to win.

"Lord Cui, this time my Great Qin was able to enter Shidao County thanks to the cooperation of Lord Cui and the Cui family, and I asked for credit for you who have been put on the book. However, the road to the center is far away, and the war is urgent, so I ask Lord Cui to temporarily take over the duties of the county guard and ensure the logistics and supply for the army! ”

Then Wang Ben turned to Cui Daoheng on the side, with a heartfelt smile on his face, and arched his hand at him solemnly.

The 100,000 Qin army rode from afar, and they had already cut off the logistics supply with the country, so they could only put this heavy responsibility on the Cui family and Shidao County.

If it weren't for this, how could he have made the promise of marrying Cui Ying at the beginning.

"The young general has an order, and my Cui family will definitely do their best!"

Cui Daoheng naturally didn't dare to shirk when he heard this, and hurriedly swore an oath of loyalty.

This situation, when he decided to defect to Daqin, Cui Daoheng had already expected it.

After a long run, the 10 Great Qin Iron Cavalry, whether they were soldiers or war horses, were extremely tired and stationed outside Yizhou City to rest.

In the north of Shangfeng County, in the temporary camp of 200,000 southern kings outside the wasteland.

"Your Majesty, Beiguan City is in an emergency!"

In the spacious main tent of the Chinese army, Guo Huai, the captain of the Right Guard, hurriedly stepped into the camp with a letter in his hand, facing Sima Yudao.

In the tent, Sima Yu, who was studying the art of war, put down the military book in his hand and took the letter.

Looking at the military book on the table and the pages full of annotations, Guo Huai's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of fire.

This book Hao Ran is "The Art of War", which was specially proofread and annotated by Li Mu, the general of Zhengnan, and sent to Sima Yu for study.

Through Li Mu's proofreading, this "Taigong Art of War" is tantamount to a holy book of the art of war in the eyes of young generals like Guo Huai, and his eyes are naturally hot.

"Boji, I have almost read this book of "Taigong Art of War", I can borrow you to study for a while after I have asked General Li!"

Guo Huai's fiery eyes like a gluttonous child showed a hint of approval on Sima Yu's face, and said with a smile.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Guo Huai was a rare good general in the Wei army, guarding the right place for Wei for decades, repelling the attacks of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei many times, conquering the enemy externally, and pacifying the people internally, with great achievements.

Sima Yu also brushed it out many times with the market question, so he naturally had to cultivate it carefully to make it a big use.

"Thank you!"

Guo Huai was overjoyed when he heard this, and knelt down to thank him.

Ignoring the excited Guo Huai, Sima Yu buried his head and quickly browsed the letter in his hand, his brows gradually locked.

Liu Wenxiu, the deputy commander of the Eastern Army stationed in Beiguancheng, gave a detailed account of Zhou Cang's serious injuries and the arrival of 100,000 Qin troops in Yizhou City.

In the letter, Liu Wenxiu bluntly stated that the target of the Qin army was likely to be Beiguancheng.

Beiguancheng is backed by the two mountain ranges of Pengshan and Lingyun, and is the main road to Luzhou.

At present, the forces of Great Qin and the Three Kingdoms are each setting up hundreds of thousands of troops on the border of Jianzhou, and the two sides are fighting fiercely.

Luzhou is located in the south of Jian and Sui Erzhou, and is just on the back of the battlefield between the two sides.

After the war, Luzhou was deserted and uninhabited.

It is conceivable that when the army of the Three Kingdoms was struggling to resist the Qin army in front, Wang Ben suddenly led 100,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry to launch a fatal blow from behind, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance army would be defeated!

At that time, what will the elite and mourned Three Kingdoms do to resist the Qin army, and the five states in the central part of Shu will all be owned by the Qin State.

"Summoning the people to come to the camp to discuss the matter!"

Sima Yu fully agreed with Liu Wenxiu's judgment and must prevent Wang Ben from entering Luzhou!

In a flash of thought, Sima Yu immediately raised his head and said to Guo Huai, who had not yet exited the camp.

"Whoa!"

Guo Huai answered the order and left.

Thundered~

On the second day, before dawn, in the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, countless black-armored cavalry formed a long steel dragon and headed to the north.

At this time, the army was still more than 300 miles away from Beiguancheng, and there were a large number of hoplites and baggage in the army, and the march was slow.

Just in case, after some discussion, Sima Yu decided to set off first by Hu Luguang with 30,000 Northern Army and Feiyu and Xiaocai battalions, and arrived in one day with the footsteps of the cavalry, and the 30,000 Eastern Army plus 50,000 elite cavalry were enough to ensure that Beiguancheng was foolproof.
