Chapter 410, Breaking the Army, Hetu Luoshu
Wang Jian didn't say anything when he saw the confident look in Meng Tian's eyes, but told all the routes that Meng Tian needed to intersperse and the enemies he might encounter in detail. Meng Tian also listened carefully, and asked questions when there was a problem, trying his best to ensure that there would be no problems with this intersperse.
After listening to Wang Qian's story, Meng Tian nodded. For Meng Tianer, this time it is much easier than the one on the grassland, first of all, the geographical environment is more familiar to them, and secondly, they are not far away this time, if there is a problem, they can go to the camp for help at any time. The most important thing is that the enemy to face this time is the Zhao army, although the Zhao State has Wuling Iron Cavalry, most of the soldiers are still foot soldiers, so they don't worry about the war after the encounter.
In addition, the current main general of Zhao State is not on the front line, and the defenders of Zhao State at these border passes do not dare to go out of the city to intercept and meet the battle, for fear that it will be the Qin State that lures the snake out of the hole, and when they leave the city, they will directly destroy them and occupy the city.
"After everything is clear, tomorrow you will take the golden fire cavalry interspersed, and after I take Boyang, I will order the army to divide the army to attack Wucheng and Yecheng to attract the attention of the Zhao army." Wang Jian said.
"Dashuai just wait for my good news." Meng Tian arched his hand and said.
"It's up to you for our army." Wang Jian said.
The entire Qin State was divided into three armies to attack Zhao, the main force was Wang Jian this way, the second army was Que Yu's Mengwu and Wang Ben, Mengwu and Wang Ben's task was not to conquer the city, but to occupy the hundreds of thousands of troops to prevent Yanmen Pass from returning to Handan, although the main force of Yanmen Pass is the Wuling Iron Cavalry, but in addition to the Wuling Iron Cavalry, the other soldiers are also experienced in a hundred battles, and they should not be underestimated.
The third army was Li Xin in Yuyang, but Li Xin did not attack Zhao, they needed to wait until Wang Jian crossed the Zhangshui and threatened Handan, and the defenders of Yanmen Pass went south, taking advantage of the emptiness of Yanmen Pass and Dai County, and quickly occupied Yanmen Pass and Dai County, thus cutting off the back road of Zhao State.
Although Li Mu went to Yanmen Pass to collect the border army, the role of Meng Wu and Li Xin was not very useful, but no one dared to be sure whether the border army of Yanmen Pass would surrender with Li Mu, so compared with Wang Qian, the pressure on the two of them was greater, and they needed to pay attention to whether Li Mu could succeed at any time.
"It will definitely live up to the handsomeness!" Meng Tian left the camp.
After Meng Tian returned to the camp where the Golden Fire Cavalry was, when he summoned all the captains and told them the tasks assigned to them by Wang Qian, these captains did not have the slightest objection, but began to ask Meng Tian about the specific arrangements.
After listening to Meng Tian and Wang Qian's specific arrangements, the lieutenants began to discuss the possible situation and solutions. The officers at all levels of the Qin army were inherited from the deputies of the original officers, and the officers of the Qin army were like this from generation to generation, which made these officers very experienced. What's more, when there is no war, in addition to daily training, all these middle and high-level officers have to go to the military academy in the Great Qin Academy for training, while the grassroots officers are trained separately by specialized people.
In the officer system of the Qin army, the general commander-level generals were basically rewarded to serve as local military attachΓ©s such as county lieutenants and county lieutenants, which gave them the ability to take charge of themselves at any time.
"After you go back, pass on the news, get ready, after the army attacks the city tomorrow, we will directly bypass Boyang, go straight to Zhangshui, and harass near Handan!" Meng Tian said.
"No!"
On the second day, when the defenders of Boyang were still preparing to make food, the Qin army had already finished eating and began to attack the city, and Meng Tian also led the golden fire cavalry to bypass Boyang and head towards the Zhangshui Ferry.
Daijun, Yanmen Pass.
Zhao Kai was dressed in armor and led a team of guards to Yanmen Pass, and the soldiers guarding the city looked at Zhao Kai under the city and shouted loudly
"What man!?"
"I am General Zhao Kai, and I came to Yanmen Pass to announce the summons by the edict of the king! Quickly open the city gate and ask Sima Shang to summon the officers to wait for me in the camp! Zhao Kai shouted.
The soldiers in the city looked down and muttered a few words to the people around them before speaking
"Wait a minute, general, I'll open the city gate!"
"Hurry up!"
Zhao Kai looked at the slowly opening city gate and drove the horses to walk slowly towards the Yanmen Pass. The guard on the side stepped forward and whispered
"General, will it be a fraud to open the city gate for us so easily?"
Yanmen Pass has been operated by Li Mu for more than ten years, and the border army of Yanmen Pass is even more obedient to Li Mu, plus Wuling Iron Cavalry is still the core of the border army of Yanmen Pass, such a big thing happened in Handan, Yanmen Pass looks like they didn't get the slightest news, and let them enter the city, which is somewhat unsettling.
"What if Li Mu died? The king killed the family members of the Wuling Iron Horse, and he could only let these mud-legged people in the Wuling Iron Horse dare not speak out? There is a reason for their rebellion, but will the other border armies follow? Li Mu is dead, none of them can support the overall situation, these border troops have already arrested all the officers of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, waiting for the general to fall? Zhao Kai said disdainfully.
Zhao Kai, who was responsible for guarding the western border pass of Zhao State, was repeatedly defeated in the face of Qin, while Li Mu won many battles against the grassland, which made him very incompetent, and even Zhao Kai had no good impression of Wuling Iron Cavalry and Yanmen Pass border army.
Now that Li Mu rebelled and was executed, as for whether Li Mu really rebelled, Zhao Kai didn't care, Zhao Kai only cared that he could now humiliate Li Mu in front of the Yanmen Pass Bianjuan, who was loyal to Li Mu, and appreciate the appearance of these people who dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
After entering the Yanmen Pass, the people in the city didn't care about Zhao Kai, the sudden general, and still did their own thing, and Zhao Kai drove the horses directly to the county guard's mansion, and the scene where Sima Shang and the officers greeted him outside the door as imagined by Zhao Kai did not appear, let alone Sima Shang groveling to explain that he did not participate in the rebellion. No one greeted him outside the entire county guard mansion, and even the soldiers at the door ignored Zhao Kai, as if they were looking at an irrelevant person.
"Good, good!" Zhao Kai felt that he was being slighted, and he suddenly felt angry.
Zhao Kai's guards all remained silent, and did not go up to touch Zhao Kai's head when he was angry, after all, because he offended Zhao Kai when Zhao Kai was angry, there were not a few people who were punished. Zhao Kai turned over and dismounted, and walked straight towards the county guard's mansion, and the guards on both sides did not stop him, seeing this, Zhao Kai looked at the two guards and said coldly
"Are the people brought out by Li Mu so ignorant of the rules? Why didn't you salute when you saw General Ben? β
The two guards glanced at Zhao Kai and said
"There are no generals in Yanmen Pass."
The attitude of the two guards made Zhao Kai's eyes rise with a trace of murderous intent, but thinking that he had something more important to do when he came to Yanmen Pass, and when he was in charge of Yanmen Pass, it was not too late to punish these two people, so Zhao Kai did not get angry in public, but walked towards the county guard mansion with a cold face.
At this moment, Sima Shang was standing outside the hall of the county guard mansion with a group of officers, looking at Zhao Kai who was walking towards him, and there was no sign of saluting, and the anger in Zhao Kai's heart couldn't help but become a little heavier when he saw this scene.
"Why didn't Sima Shang salute when he saw Ben General?" Zhao Kai immediately reprimanded angrily.
"Oh, General Zhao is here, General Zhao is not at the border pass to resist the Qin army, what is the matter with coming to Yanmen Pass? Could it be that he was chased by Meng Wu and abandoned his armor and hid in my Yanmen Pass? Sima Shang said mockingly.
Zhao Kai once guarded the border army, and fought with Mengwu more than once, but every time he was killed by Mengwu and lost his armor, suffered heavy losses, and even once more than 1,000 people were chased by Mengwu himself with 200 people, which was the biggest mess in Zhao Kai's life.
Hearing Sima Shang mention this matter again, the officers laughed. Zhao Kai listened to Sima Shang's words and the ridicule that filled his ears, and his heart was suddenly filled with anger, and he pulled out the sword at his waist and said
"Sima Shangling dares to humiliate General Ben? Isn't it because you want to learn from Li Mu's anti-thief and commit rebellion? β
Seeing Zhao Kai draw his sword, the officer behind Sima Shang immediately pulled out his sword, and Zhao Kai's guards also pulled out their swords, and the two sides suddenly became tense, Zhao Kai looked at the large number of officers, although he was very angry in his heart, he was also worried that he would hurt himself when he fought.
"What's so good about following Li Mu, that thief? are all some rude people, the king's edict, and still don't accept the edict? Zhao Kai took back his sword and said coldly.
But Sima Shang didn't have the slightest intention of receiving the edict, but looked at Zhao Kai coldly.
"Sima Shang, are you deaf? The king's edict, still not to accept the edict? Zhao Kai reprimanded angrily.
"The King?" Sima Shang said coldly: "He, Zhao Qian, listened to the slander and wanted to be Wu Anjun, and slaughtered our family, do you think such a king is still worthy of our allegiance?" β
Hearing Sima Shang say this, the surprise in Zhao Kai's heart suddenly suppressed his anger, and pointed at Sima Shang and said
"Sima Shang, you dare to call the king by his name, are you going to rebel? Someone will take down this thief for me! β
The guards beside Zhao Kai just wanted to step forward, but the officer behind Sima Shang suddenly stepped forward to protect Sima Shang. Looking at the officer who was guarding Sima Shang, Zhao Kai seemed to understand something, his eyes widened, and he pointed at these people and said
"Are you all going to rebel?"
"What if there is a rebellion?" A voice sounded from behind Sima Shang and the officers.
Listening to this familiar voice, Zhao Kai's eyes were full of panic, and he said "Impossible, impossible"
Zhao Kai is very familiar with this voice, because the owner of this voice, Li Mu, has always been regarded as an enemy by Zhao Kai, so it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Kai to admit his mistake.
Sima Shang and the other officers got out of the way, and Li Mu's figure in armor was impressively imprinted in Zhao Kai's eyes, and Zhao Kai was immediately so frightened that he took a few steps back, his eyes full of horror.
"Li Li Mu, how can you still be alive?" Zhao Kai said in a panic.
"Why am I still alive, I can only say that my life is great." Li Mu said lightly.
"Li Mu, do you have to rebel with the border army at Yanmen Pass?" Zhao Kai asked loudly.
"Rebellion? Haven't I rebelled? Li Mu said sarcastically.
Hearing Li Mu's words, Zhao Kai was speechless for a while, the crime that Zhao Wangqian imposed on Li Mu was rebellion, isn't it superfluous for him to ask like this? Zhao Kai hurriedly looked at the other officers and scolded loudly
"You have been favored by the king, do you also want to rebel with Li Mu? Don't forget your family, if the news of your rebellion spreads, your family will be killed! β
Listening to Zhao Kai's words, these officers were not unusual, but approached Zhao Kai with a sharp sword in hand, and Zhao Kai and the guards kept retreating.
"Don't come here, I'm the general of Zhao State, if you kill me, you are the capital crime of the Yi three clans!" Zhao Kai said while holding the sword in his hand.
But the officers did not answer him, but stabbed at Zhao Kai under the leadership of Sima Shang, and a few screams sounded, Sima Shang and his guards fell to the ground one after another, Sima Shang and a group of officers inserted their swords into the scabbard, turned to Li Mu and saluted
"Wu Anjun, Zhao Kai was ambushed on the spot, I am willing to follow Wu Anjun and avenge my Wuling Iron Rider family!"
Saying that, Sima Shang and the other officers looked up at Li Mu, their eyes were full of killing intent, his killing intent was not aimed at Li Mu, but Zhao Wangqian, most of their family members were slaughtered by Zhao Wangqian, they fought hard for Zhao Wangqian at the border pass, and in turn Zhao Wangqian killed their family, they couldn't bear this betrayal.
"Okay, pass on my military order! Wuling Iron Cavalry followed me south, and the remaining generals led Pao Ze to guard Yanmen Pass to prevent the Huns and Hu people from taking advantage of the chaos to go south! Li Mu ordered.
"No!"
Soon the entire Yanmen Pass began to move, and the Wuling Iron Cavalry, which had already been prepared, went in the direction of Handan under the leadership of Li Mu after receiving Li Mu's order.
After leaving Yanmen Pass, Li Mu handed over a letter to his cavalry, and asked them to go in the direction of Yanhe and Yuyang County, this is the news that Li Mu sent to Mengwu and Li Xin, the Wuling Iron Cavalry has left, and the people who are willing to follow Li Mu to surrender in the entire Dai County have received Li Mu's order, as long as Li Xin enters the Dai County, they will open the city gate and surrender.
When Li Mu was heading south, Ziyou and a few people had already come to Daicheng in Daijun, but they did not enter the city but came to the mountains outside Daicheng.
In the city of Dai, in the gathering place of the descendants of the Protoss.
"Are you saying that Ziyou came to Daicheng, but instead of entering the city, he went to the mountains outside the city?" The leader of the hat man asked.
"Yes, Lord Breaker." Said the man with the hat below.
"Do you have any news from our people in Handan City?" Pojun asked.
"It's been three days since I lost contact."
"It looks like our goals have been exposed." Po Jun muttered, "But it's okay, this Ziyou should know where Wuyun is, and gather people to go to Ziyou's location." β
"Lord Pojun, what about Gai Nie and those people? Do you want to release it from the Hetuluo book? The hatsman asked.
"No, if it weren't for Hetu Luoshu Gai Nie and these people, we wouldn't be able to catch them, if we release them, they will only become Ziyou's help." Po Jun shook his head and said.
