When the smoke of the cooking in the Qin camp rose, the three thousand tiger horsemen led by Tian Hu finally arrived at Yewang City.

After the Battle of Huayang, the Tiger Cavalry was officially expanded, from the initial 800 to the current 3,000. The number of people has increased a lot, but the combat power has not decreased.

This is due to the strict evaluation system of the crown prince, that is, the officers and soldiers of the tiger cavalry are assessed once every ten days, from the chief general to the pawn, and no one can stay out of the matter.

Those who fail the first assessment will be demoted by one level, and the non-commissioned officers will enter the tiger cavalry reserve area and compete with the best of the reserve battalion, the winner will stay in the tiger cavalry, and the loser will return to the reserve camp; Those who fail the assessment twice in a row will be demoted by three ranks, and the non-commissioned officers will all return to the reserve camp for reconstruction. In the reserve camp, the officers and men of the Tiger Cavalry who have been dismissed will only be allowed to return to the Tiger Cavalry if they rank in the top 100 in three consecutive assessments.

The reserve battalion is a special battalion set up by Taiziran, which is intended to make up for the future battle losses of the Tiger Cavalry, and at the same time is an incentive for the officers and soldiers of the Tiger Cavalry and those who have not been selected as the Tiger Knights, and the tentative number is 2,000 people.

As the first nationally recognized honor unit in South Korea, the Tiger Rider's selection is more demanding than the selection of the Knights. According to the requirements of the crown prince, anyone who can wear a full suit of armor, hold a crossbow of twelve stones, carry fifty arrows on his back, carry a sword, carry three days' rations, run thirty miles in half a day, and is skilled in bows and horses, can be selected as a tiger horseman.

The selection criteria for the material are only required to run twenty miles in half a day, and they are only wearing simple leather armor. Of course, even so, the standard of the tiger rider is still inferior to that of Wei Wushu. As the most elite unit of the Warring States, Wei Wushu's half-day march of 100 miles was only the most basic requirement.

Considering that the Tiger Cavalry was a heavy cavalry and the Wei Wushu was a hoplite, it is understandable to lower the standards appropriately. After all, there are horses to ride and ride.

Even if the bar is lowered so much, there are only a few thousand people who can be selected for the Tiger Rider and Reserve Camp. The elite of South Korea's national talents was almost emptied by the prince.

At the moment, the tiger ride is only in its infancy. First, the horses were not covered with iron armor; Secondly, according to South Korea's national strength, the number of horses is insufficient, and now only one war horse can be guaranteed.

The quality of the war horse is also worrisome, just now, a standard configuration of the soldier weighs 180 pounds (note: for the convenience of readers, are converted into the current weight, 140 pounds of soldiers, 20 pounds of armor, spears, crossbows, 20 crossbow arrows, bronze swords 20 pounds), without affecting the impact of the horse, the weight of the horse has reached the extreme.

If you want to put another layer of armor on the horses, the dwarf ** of the Central Plains countries will die of exhaustion. Even if you barely run, your speed will be slower than death, and you will lose your original impact. The only way to solve this problem is to change the good one.

Of course, now it's all empty talk. Only by defeating the Qin army can Wang Ziran put many of his ideas into practice. Time, the most scarce thing right now is time.

"Prince Qiqi, his subordinates led 3,000 tiger horsemen to report on orders."

"Well, Captain Tian has had a hard journey. Is the road smooth? The prince asked out loud.

Tian Hu grinned, "Thanks to the prince's blessing, a qiēshun lì!" Our tiger riders are elite, it's a pity that we didn't meet the Qin army, otherwise Lao Tian would like to compete with them. ”

Looking at this war maniac, the prince scolded with a smile: "You can rest assured, you are indispensable in the next battle." No, I transferred you over. ”

"Prince, I heard that we killed the Qin army yesterday?"

"Oh? Did you see General Kite on the road? ”

Last night, the violent kite rushed back to the front line of Chenggao overnight to prevent the Qin army from attacking Yewang and attacking Xinzheng. At the same time, the violent kite also went back to rectify military discipline and bring the lessons of the wild king's offensive and defensive battles to the army behind him. As the main descendant of the army, it is impossible for Prince Ran and Storm Kite to be on the front line at the same time. After all, there are really no generals in South Korea today.

The two of them put it together, and finally determined that the more experienced Storm Kite would command the army behind him, ready to support at any time.

"Yes, Prince. After receiving the prince's order, I set out with a large army overnight, and met General Tyrant and his party on the way, and learned from him about the battle situation yesterday. ”

"Well, yesterday I fought with the Qin army, although I won a small victory, but I exposed a lot of problems. The individual combat ability of our Han soldiers is far inferior to that of the Qin army! A single soldier is weak, and it can be compensated for by the battle array, but the Qin army's battle array cooperation is unparalleled in the world! That's where the biggest headache comes in. ”

"Prince, why don't we let the tiger cavalry divide a small part to assist in defending the city. In this way, once something as dangerous as yesterday happens, our Tiger Cavalry guarantees to drive the Qin army down as soon as possible. Tian Hu was also very scared when he learned about the dangerous incident that happened in Yewang City yesterday. Since the tiger cavalry is well-equipped and most of them are veterans, it is not impossible to defend the city!

The crown prince didn't think so, and refused to say at the moment: "I didn't send you all the way to defend the city. ”

As if remembering something, the prince added: "In this way, Captain Tian, you are tired from a long journey, hurry up and organize the soldiers to rest!" The Wild King needs your support at any time, and your first priority at the moment is to rest, do you hear? ”

"No! But the prince, we are not tired of riding tigers, and we ask to go out of the city."

Tian Hu still wanted to fight, but the soldiers under his command were holding back the fire. Qin Jun deceived people too much, and he must give them some color today.

"No, but. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. Captain Tian, do you want to disobey? ”

Tian Hu was about to defend himself, but the prince's tone changed and he said, "You, I have a lot of use." Rest quickly. If you're not tired, aren't the horses tired? Listen to me, rest is greater than a qiē. I didn't call you up, and you don't care when the sky falls. But I'll make it clear beforehand, don't really use you when you admit it, do you hear? ”

"No!" Tian Hu responded with joy on his face.

Seeing Tian Hu away, the prince waited for another half an hour before the Qin army slowly lined up and left the camp.

It seems that yesterday's huge casualties stimulated the Qin army, and surprisingly, the Qin army did not attack as strongly as yesterday. Instead, the troops divided into routes, about 10,000 cavalry left the camp and went straight to the north, and the remaining 50,000 troops began to dig trenches and build roads.

"Could it be that the Qin army plans to besiege Yewang City for a long time?" All the Korean troops began to wonder.

Prince Ran was also confused. Seeing that the reinforcements of the most powerful Zhao army in the alliance of Zhao, Han and Wei were about to depart, and they could reach Yewang City in ten days at most, did the Qin army want to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the 300,000 coalition army under Yewang City?

Since the Qin army did not attack the city, it was good news for the Korean army. The South Korean army can take advantage of this to repair the damaged defense equipment, and at the same time train the soldiers to increase the ability of the defenders to cooperate with each other.

The crown prince will not be paralyzed, for fear that the Qin army will want to capture the old man and suddenly attack the city. Therefore, the entire Yewang City is loose outside and tight inside, if the Qin army wants to take advantage of the Han army's "laxity" in defending the city, the prince does not mind giving the Qin army another unforgettable lesson.

Prince Ran also sent scouts to listen to the movements of the Qin army, trying to find the reason for the Qin army's strange behavior. However, the Qin army was very tightly defended, and after losing hundreds of scouts one after another, the prince stopped this meaningless move.

He believed that such a move by the Qin army must have been a ploy. Although he didn't know what it was, as long as he waited patiently, defended tightly, and didn't give Qin Jun a chance to exploit loopholes, Qin Jun would waste his efforts.

The morning was spent in the confrontation between the two armies.

At the end of the day, with the faint cry from afar, Qin Jun finally had a new move.
