Knock ——! Knock knock——! Knock knock knock——!

The rapid sound of war drums was remembered in the sky outside the Yan Clan, and in an instant, the sleeping military camp instantly woke up.

The war drum made of cow skin is far better than the war drum made of crocodile skin in terms of elasticity, toughness and striking resistance, the drummer waved the drumstick vigorously and beat, and the agitated and majestic drum echoed in this vast and empty land, deafening, but it had already made the blood of the Qin soldiers begin to boil.

Li Xin and Qiang Qi rushed towards Zhang Ji's big tent with several five hundred lords, and the three county lieutenants in Yan City also rode on war horses and galloped towards this military camp.

According to military law, when the drum falls, if it does not reach the military tent, it will be beheaded by 20 military sticks at the light and beheaded at the worst.

And the tee drum is about a moment of time.

Zhang Ji's camp tent was not far from Yanshi City, and it was a horn with Yanshi City, so the three county lieutenants came quickly, and the two drums were beaten less than half before they arrived in the camp.

Of course, the reason why the three county lieutenants arrived so quickly was because they were always ready for the enemy to attack, and if they were some people with wine bags and rice bags, they might not be able to catch up with these three drums.

Seeing that the movements of the three county lieutenants were very fast, Zhang Ji, who was half-leaning on the handsome case, still nodded with satisfaction.

The next thing actually had little to do with the three county lieutenants, but what Zhang Ji wanted was this attitude of actively preparing for war.

The parchment scroll that was originally spread on the ground had been hung up, and Zhang Ji held a rattan whip in his hand and struck a place on the map.

Takeshi's hometown.

"The Wei army scouts have arrived at Wu's hometown, and according to the distance and time of the scout battalion, the Wei army's left vanguard army should have arrived here at this moment."

After that, Zhang Ji moved out of the way slightly, letting the generals look at the map, even if everyone was discussing the military situation in a whisper, Zhang Ji did not stop him.

This is a habit he has developed in the fantasy world, allowing his subordinates to discuss.

Originally, he was indecisive and scheming, and he followed Bai Qi in the fantasy world for many years, starting from basic knowledge, and watching Bai Qi make decisions again and again, he gradually became good at making decisions.

Even if it is Bai Qi and Zhang Yi, they also have blind spots that they can't see, and they also need their subordinates to fill in and express their opinions, not to mention Zhang Ji?

Of course, this is when the situation is not urgent.

As the sound of everyone's discussion gradually weakened, Zhang Ji, who closed his eyes and recuperated, also opened his eyes.

In fact, everyone's opinion is generally the same, that is, to use the Yulin cavalry to raid the enemy, but there are different opinions on the time and place of the raid.

Various suggestions have been placed in front of Zhang Ji, and Zhang Ji, as the main general, has to make a choice among them, or put forward his own different ideas.

As the generals left the big tent, the horns of the assembled assembly sounded, and in addition to the Yulin cavalry who was on duty in the barracks, they had already changed their armor, and some people even fed two handfuls of forage to their war horses, and they were ready to fight.

This group of Qin soldiers and soldiers who were at least enough to serve as commanders in an ordinary army has endured considerable criticism since its establishment.

Everyone wears armor and uses the best equipment of Great Qin, but they have never let the sword drink blood, which will naturally attract the criticism of some red-eyed people.

Especially the Yulin ride.

Among the 3,000 Yulin cavalry, Su Jiao's 1,000 scout battalion was fine, and the Yulin cavalry under Li Xin and Qiang Qi was established as a sudden cavalry.

Not only are the horsemen wearing armor, but even the war horses under their crotches are wrapped in a layer of horse armor.

It can be said that these two thousand turquoises were armed to the teeth.

The supply consumed by a turkey horse is more than ten times that of an ordinary foot soldier, and one person and three horses take turns to bear the burden of armor, and it is not just a war horse to be raised.

And people eat horses and chew, these meals and forage are higher than the treatment of ordinary Qin soldiers, I don't know how many times.

Everyone can eat at least one meal of meat every day, and the war horses eat high-quality forage, and the cost of configuring grooms and veterinarians alone is enough to make Zhi Su Neishi scold his mother.

That is, these money and food are shared by Zhang Ji and the second generation of generals under his command, and Zhisu Neishi actually only bears Yu Linwei's military salary, otherwise Zhisu Neishi would have hung himself upside down at the head of Xianyang City to force Yingzheng to death.

However, after all, there are some unpleasant criticisms, and these criticisms are naturally known to the Yu Lin Guards, so everyone is very eager to prove that they are worthy of these equipment with their combat exploits.

……

Fengkou Ridge, although called a ridge, is actually just a hill that is not very high.

Located fifteen miles outside of the Salt Castle, it is the gateway to one of the roads that go northeast around the Salt Lake to the Salt Castle.

The other way is to retreat ten miles to the south and then make a detour to cross the North Stream.

However, if the Wei army led by Jin Yao chose to take the north Hengjian route, it would be impossible to march to the vicinity of Wu's hometown, so he must have taken the Fengkou Ridge to bypass the salt lake.

Moreover, the road below the Fengkou Ridge is very wide, suitable for the march of large armies, the land is flat, and even the road is specially paved, which is enough to accommodate several chariots and horses in parallel.

It's not that the officials of Yanshi City have a lot of money and have no place to spend it, but that the merchants take the initiative to fund the construction and send people to maintain it every year, after all, how many merchants in the world are not interested in the salt produced in the salt lake?

In order to facilitate their trade, the merchants took the initiative to fund the construction of such a road, and the merchants who raised the funds at the beginning were also given hereditary low-level titles by the Qin State, and their descendants will take the initiative to repair this road every year in order to inherit this title.

In the ranks of the Wei army, looking at the small hill on the side of the road called Fengkou Ridge, Jin Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and he sent scouts to investigate.

In fact, it seems that there is no need for this at all by the generals of Jin Yao, the Qin army has more than a thousand defenders, as long as the county lieutenant of Yanshi City is not stupid, it is impossible to go out of the city to ambush their army.

With the ambush of those 2,000 defenders, how many Wei troops can be killed or wounded? As long as they surrounded and annihilated it, the casualties would definitely be much smaller than the storming of that Salt City.

This line of thinking is absolutely correct under normal circumstances, and Jin Yao's behavior will delay the speed of the march and waste the physical strength of the soldiers, but Jin Yao still insists on his opinion.

His heart was a little uneasy, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

But he didn't know where the uneasiness came from, maybe it was just that he was a little too sensitive to Wei Wuji's calculations about him.

Step by step, the scouts climbed to the top of the hill, which was not very high, and looked at the top of the bare hill, and just wanted to say something, only to find that under the other side of the hill, there were pairs of eyes looking at them in unison.

It was a fierce gaze projected from under the black armor masks, with a point of consternation, three parts banter, three parts excitement, and three parts bloodlust.

Purr!

The horses sensed that a bloody feast was coming, and snorted excitedly.

They are not pets, but murder weapons that are about to take their owners to mercilessly!

"Wow!"

The excited neighing of a thousand war horses almost at the same moment brought their owners to the top of this hill.

Under the light of the sun, there was no scene of the shining sun on the bodies of the thousand horsemen, and the dark armor did not reflect the light reflected on them, but the appearance of swallowing the sun's light made people feel more and more terrifying.

A famous horse rushed down the hill amid the neighing of people and horses, and the war horse galloped hard, turning into a black torrent and heading straight for the Wei army on the road.
