Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Daijun, Daixian.

"The Qin army is going to attack the north?" Sima Qiu, the commander of Daijun County, could not hide the surprise on his short-bearded face as he listened to the self-statement of the man in civilian clothes in front of him.

The three northern counties are isolated in the northern border of the Zhao Kingdom and form a territory of their own. The news is quite limited. The three northern counties have already known about the Qin-Zhao war that has begun, but the news that the Qin army will attack the three northern counties is But they don't know.

"The Sima Commander-in-Chief should prepare early. The Qin State has Yang Ming, the Protector Commander, as its general, commanding the Longhu Forbidden Army and the Longxi and North Commandery troops. I am afraid that they are already deep in Hengshan Mountain at this time." The commoner man Le Mo said.

Although Le Mo is just a commoner, his reputation in Zhao State is not small, because his surname is Le, which is Le Yi's Le. Just this surname is enough for him to gain a foothold in Zhao State, and although he is not like other Le family members, People who practice military art like that, but are good at martial arts, and are considered very famous swordsmen in the land of Yan and Zhao.

When Le Yi attacked Qi, he got a lot of classics collected by the royal family of Qi, including many martial arts. Although it was not as self-contained as the Bai Jia, it was better than the large amount and variety. Le Mo was the Le Jia. He is the only person who has integrated these martial arts classics for decades, and his martial arts has reached a first-class level.

"Yang Ming?" Hearing this name, Sima Qiu's eyes couldn't help but shrink. This name was not unfamiliar to him. Not only was he unfamiliar with the name, he was also unfamiliar with that person.

Ten years ago, the wolf tribe's army went south and was defeated by the border cavalry from the three northern counties led by Li Mu. They chased the remnants of the wolf tribe for more than 500 miles and directly entered the grassland. In the ten years since then, the wolf tribe has never dared to spy on the northern border of Zhao State. Three counties.

In that war, apart from Li Mu, Yang Ming's name was the most dazzling, and it was in that war that Sima Qiu showed his prominence. In ten years, he had become the current Daijun Commandery. He is a well-known figure among the three counties in the North, but the name Yang Ming is truly famous all over the world.

"It's just that I never thought that one day we would meet each other." Sima Qiu muttered to himself, already feeling a heavy pressure in his heart.

Although Sima Qiu has made great progress over the years, the name Yang Ming is even more likely. Too many people from Zhao Jun, Wei Jun, and Chu Army were defeated at the hands of Yang Ming.

Although Sima Qiu is confident, he also knows that in the current Zhao State, the only person who can compete with Yang Ming on the battlefield is General Li Mu. As for himself, whether it was ten years ago or now, he is not Yang Ming. Ming's opponent

But things are not absolute. You have to cross the Hengshan Mountain Road, and there is my opportunity. Although you are strong, the right time and location are with me. Sima Qiu pondered, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of ambition in his heart. Now, it may not be his chance. He has been in the north for more than thirty years, and it is time for him to become famous all over the world.

At this time, in Sima Qiu's heart, the pressure had turned into motivation. This time, he wanted to step on Qin's Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army and let the world know Sima Qiu's name.

Sima Qiu, who had made up his mind, quickly made an order. In the Junwei Mansion, dozens of messengers took the military orders from the Junwei Mansion and headed towards the various cities under Daijun's rule. He wanted to gather troops and take the initiative to attack. , completely defeated the Qin army at the foot of Hengshan Mountain.

As a result, a situation similar to that in the hinterland of Zhao State appeared in the territory of Daijun. From the countryside and cities of Daijun, groups of cavalry began to gather towards the front line of Hengshan Mountain, like hundreds of rivers flowing back. Hundreds and hundreds of people Soldiers and horses from all walks of life gathered into thousands of cavalry, and finally formed an army of ten thousand cavalry at the northern foot of Hengshan Mountain.

Although the main force of the border cavalry from the three northern counties had already been brought to the hinterland of Zhao State by Li Mu, in today's era when all the people are soldiers, especially in border counties like the three northern counties, every adult man is the most advantageous soldier. , as long as there are enough resources, a large army can be organized.

Therefore, in the three northern counties, although they are unable to organize a larger army due to limited war resources, they can still use local combat methods and relax the age limit for conscription when the distance to project troops is not far. , Daijun can still organize a sizable army, but the weapons are not so sophisticated, the armor is not so complete, and the horses are not so powerful.

At the foot of Hengshan Mountain, the Zhao army simply built a camp less than five miles outside the mountain pass. Dangzi, in front of the exit of the Hengshan mountain road, in their sight, they could even see the Qin army's surprise attack.

"I have known since ten years ago that Yang Ming's military skills are similar to Wu Anjun's. The most important thing is speed. Yang Ming's battle to become famous ten years ago was also won by speed. Now it seems Come on, my choice is right." In the Zhao army camp, Sima Qiu, who had gathered thousands of cavalry around him, calmly said to Le Mo, who had been appointed as his staff by his side.

"Since Lord Sima knew that the Qin Army would open the Hengshan Passage in the shortest time, why didn't he counterattack and enter the Hengshan Passage, set up a camp, and block the Qin Army in the Hengshan Passage?" Le Mo asked puzzledly. Although he is not familiar with the art of war, But he also knows the truth of the battle. The best choice for Zhao Jun at the moment is to attack the Hengshan Mountain Road, clear out the Qin Army's forward force of only two to three hundred people, and then completely seal the Hengshan Mountain Road.

"Because it's too late. The Qin army is too fast. Look at their camp. It takes a lot of time for two to three hundred people to set up such a camp. They have obviously occupied the mountain pass a few days ago. , Moreover, the Qin Army is the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army, the most brave and capable army among the Qin Army, and what about us? The elites are all in the hinterland. If we fight with the Qin Army in the limited terrain in the mountain roads, we are not opponents. Our best choice is to pick a suitable location and give full play to our military advantage." Sima Qiu explained.

"Our troops don't have an advantage either. The Qin army should have 50,000 troops." Le Mo said puzzled.

"No, no, no, the number of troops is not calculated like this. The population of Qin State is nearly ten million. With the mobilization of the whole country, even if there is not a million troops, there are still six or seven hundred thousand, but they are really like this More troops? The real military strength is the troops that can be used on the battlefield." Although Le Mo is not familiar with the art of war, he is from the Le family after all. Being able to show his knowledge of the art of war in front of such people still makes Sima Qiu very proud. A sense of accomplishment.

"We set up camp here, leaving limited space for the Qin army to form an array. They can only list two thousand soldiers and horses at most. If there are more, it will be crowded and difficult to deploy." Sima Qiu pointed to the open space in front of him. .

"Lord Sima means that if we form a formation here, we only need to face two thousand Qin troops. When the time comes, we will have ten thousand against two thousand, which will be enough to win the first formation." Le Mo said suddenly.

"Yes, and once the Qin army is defeated, it will not be easy for the Qin army to retreat into this narrow mountain pass." Sima Qiu said with confidence.

"Since we have such a big advantage, will the Qin army still choose to fight with us?" Le Mo hesitated. Since we already know that the place has an absolute advantage, it is the best choice for others not to fight. The Qin army You are not a fool, why do you have to fight a war that is difficult to win?

"The Qin army will do it because they have no choice. Moreover, Yang Ming will also choose this way. He will even fight the first battle himself. Maybe we still have a chance to succeed in the battle." Sima Qiu said.

"Succeeded in one battle? I heard that Yang Ming's strength has already reached the master level at this time. The Mohist giant Six-fingered Black Man was defeated in his hands. In the military formation, such a person should not be underestimated." Le Mo reminded. Tao, the power of a grandmaster is beyond ordinary people's imagination. Le Mo feels that Sima Qiu seems to be a little too confident now.

"I knew about Yang Ming's strength in the battle formation ten years ago. Back then, some people called him the best warrior in the north. But people are still human after all. I have 10,000 cavalry against his 2,000. Even if the Qin army under his command can fight one against two, even if he can fight a thousand troops, but I have ten thousand cavalry, why can't ten thousand cavalry still defeat him?" Sima Qiu said.

Although there is a saying in the army that ten thousand people are an enemy, these are just exaggerated descriptions with praise. Who can really defeat ten thousand people?

Moreover, he is only a grandmaster, and Wu Anjun is also a grandmaster. Wu Anjun once said personally that even a grandmaster cannot defeat ten thousand troops. If a thousand soldiers and horses cooperate properly, they will be enough to defeat the grandmaster. In this world, there is no such thing as of ten thousand enemies. Sima Qiu recalled the teachings he had received under Li Mu, and he had full confidence in the upcoming battle.

In the Hengshan Mountain Road, the Yulin Guards, who were the vanguard, had already passed the information in front of the exit of the Hengshan Mountain Road back to Yang Ming, who was in the long march of the Qin army that stretched for dozens of miles.

"Sima Qiu, you are really capable." Yang Ming looked at the military report in his hand and couldn't help but smile. What a naive idea!

Sima Qiu mobilized troops and horses to hoard in front of the mountain road exit, hoping to force the Qin army to fight against his Daijun soldiers with limited strength in the limited terrain. This plan was certainly a good one.

Unfortunately, war is not something that can be decided by one side alone. Sun Tzu said hundreds of years ago that the most important thing in marching and fighting is to know your enemy and yourself. Sima Qiu knew about himself, but he didn't know about Yang Ming, or what he knew. Yang Ming is just the Yang Ming he wants to know.

"The plan is good, detailed enough, and bold enough, but unfortunately, Sima Qiu, you know nothing about power!"

"However, this saves me a lot of trouble. After taking Dai County in one battle, and then completely controlling Hengshan, Yanmen County and Yunzhong County are not far away. Sima Qiu, just for this point, I will accept it. You, my friend." Yang Ming destroyed the letter casually, waved his hand, and galloped forward through the passage that the front army cavalry had given way to.
