Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

In early March of the 16th year of the Qin Dynasty, Yang Ming led his bodyguard Yu Lin to Jinyang, Taiyuan County from Xianyang. At this time, Jinyang City had turned into a huge military camp. Countless weapons and grains were stored in arsenals and grain depots. In addition to being transported out, there is also a steady stream of supplies of soldiers, armor, grain and grass transported from Guanzhong and from Sanchuan County towards Jinyang City.

When Yang Ming arrived at Jinyang City, he did not launch an attack on Zhao State immediately. Instead, he used the Tiger Guard Forbidden Army as the vanguard and stationed at Jingxing Pass to ensure the smooth flow of the Qin Army across the Taihang Mountains. In the process, Yang Ming I personally conducted preliminary training for the Qin Army in Jinyang City using its original organization, integrating all aspects from military orders to military formations, so as to initially integrate them into an army with only one voice.

When Yang Ming's Jinyang City integrated the Qin Army's North Route Army, General Wang Jian, the commander of the 200,000-strong South Route Army, had already led his army to attack the Zhao State's Great Wall, which stretched for hundreds of miles.

"General, I heard that the North Route Army is still reorganizing in Jinyang. We are so anxious to launch an attack. How should we explain it in the art of war?" When Wang Jian personally led the Qin army towards the Great Wall in the southern border of Zhao State, as a His lieutenant and son Wang Ben asked with confusion.

"It just depends on the situation. The situation that Yang Hujun will face is different from what we will face. What he will face will be Li Mu of Zhao State and his side cavalry. In today's Zhao State, they are the most capable conquerors. Being good at fighting, Yang Hujun cannot have any flaws when facing Li Mu and the Zhao army under his command, but the North Route Army is different from ours. Although the soldiers here come from the five counties, the soldiers Their origins are all on both sides of the river. Although they are divided into counties and counties, their languages ​​​​and various customs and habits are similar. However, the origins of the North Route Army are too complicated, and some may not even be able to communicate with each other. If they cannot be preliminary The integration can easily turn into a fatal factor in a war."

Wang Jian may hide his secrets from others, but not in front of his own son. The rise and fall of a family requires the joint efforts of several generations, and cannot be accomplished by one person.

At that time, Bai Qi, the Lord of Wu'an, was powerful in the world, and his status and reputation were not low. But after Bai Qi's death, how many people in the Bai family would be left? The Bai family, which was so powerful back then, is now reduced to just a few small fish and shrimps, which is really ugly.

In front of Bai Qi, Wang Jian's fighting skills may not be better than Bai Qi's, but in certain aspects, Wang Jian's natural level is still higher than Bai Qi's. Apart from anything else, in terms of teaching his descendants, Wang Jian has never been better than Bai Qi. If you relax, whether it is your son Wang Bi or your grandson Wang Li, as long as you can teach your descendants well, the Wang family can truly establish itself in the Qin Kingdom.

"I see. It seems that Yang Hujun doesn't just know how to be brave and diligent." Wang Ben said to himself. He was no stranger to Yang Ming. After all, their father and son had fought side by side with Yang Ming at the gate of Wucheng. Last year, they also cooperated with each other to capture the three counties in the northern border of Qin State.

"Only those who are bold and careful can become a good general. Yang Hujun is not just brave. His bravery is based on his control of the ever-changing battle situation." Wang Jian said.

Wang Jian couldn't learn Yang Ming's fighting style. Not to mention other things, Yang Ming's personal force alone could not be copied. However, this did not mean that Wang Jian had to think that he was inferior to Yang Ming. Everyone had their own Strengths, above all in war, how to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses is what a qualified general should consider.

"Just General, why should we rush to attack now? Shouldn't we make preparations before attacking?" Wang Ben thought of the current situation while his thoughts were wandering.

In previous battles, even if Wang Jian had an advantage, he always fought steadily and never gave the enemy even a chance. However, this time, Wang Jian rarely chose to attack quickly. The 200,000-strong army was divided into several groups. , crushing towards the Great Wall at the southern border of Zhao State, no matter how to detect the enemy's situation or coordinate operations, all they have is to swarm forward, just like a mediocre general.

"It's just one moment and another. The formulation of military strategy is not just what you want, but it must be formulated according to the specific situation of the enemy. At present, Zhao Jun's defense is still reluctant, and there is no offensive power at all. In this situation Under the circumstances, a steady attack is not only useless for us, but a waste of time. Could it be that Zhao Jun dared to cross the Great Wall to attack us?" Wang Jian said.

"Two hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand, you don't need to use so many tricks, you just need to crush them with force." Wang Jian continued.

"Is it that simple?" Wang Ben said doubtfully.

"Of course it won't be that simple. You have to know that Zhao Jun relies on the Great Wall of the South and has sufficient experience in defense. Their defense is very stable. At this time, we use the previous offensive methods and they know how to deal with it. On the contrary, now Our army swarmed forward, and each unit attacked in the way they were good at, which caught the Zhao army off guard. In the uninterrupted and unorganized attack, the Zhao army was mobilized, so that they had to come out of their previous defense experience. Let them change. Only in this process, in this process of change, can we have the opportunity to seize their flaws, and then break through the southern Great Wall of Zhao State in one fell swoop, capture the Zhao capital, and achieve the first success in destroying Zhao. "Wang Jian said with confidence and undisguised ambition.

Wang Ben looked at the general in front of him, and at this moment he understood what his father was thinking.

Over the years, although Wang Jian relied on the support of the king and his own military exploits, he gradually transformed from the general who could only be responsible for Asia's food and grass to the current general and became the number one person in the Qin army. However, when the world talks about the Qin generals, At that time, they often only knew Yang Ming, the captain of the Qin Guard Army.

Everyone in the world knows Yang Ming's name. Wang Ben even remembers that when he was attacking Zhao's city a few years ago, he saw an old woman teaching her naughty grandson a lesson, and even used Yang Ming's name to threaten her grandson. The effect turned out to be surprisingly good. A glimpse of the leopard shows how famous Yang Ming has become.

Wang Bi can also understand the reason, because Yang Ming is young enough and brave enough, and the victories he has achieved are all achieved under circumstances where it is almost impossible to win. All kinds of factors are added together, and naturally under Yang Ming's control There is too much aura surrounding him.

Compared with Wang Jian, although he is also victorious in every battle, he lacks a lot of aura. The victories Wang Jian achieved were all in an upright manner, overwhelming the enemy with absolute superiority. Although the result was also a victory, it was good in the end. Somewhat topical.

Although Wang Jian has always been steady and steady in the war, no one who can reach the position of general in the Qin State has his own pride. No matter how calm Wang Jian's temper is, can he really be petty and regard fame as his own? A false name, is it nothing?

So at this time, Wang Ben understood his father's mood in striving to be the first to destroy Zhao.

Yes, we can't just let Yang Hujun be more beautiful than before. Wang Ben said to himself in his heart, also burning with strong fighting spirit.

When the war on the southern front broke out with Wang Jian's bravery and advancement, the 150,000 Qin troops from the North Route Army slowly set out from Jinyang, and the endless queue like a long dragon passed through the Taihang Mountains. Since then, in the past ten years, the Qin army has crossed the Taihang Mountains and invaded the Zhao Kingdom several times, but it has never achieved an absolute victory and even suffered a major defeat. Now that the Qin Army has crossed the Taihang Mountains again, it can change. A record of unbeatable success?

"General, the forwards of the Qin Army have entered the Taihang Mountains. In up to seven days, the Qin Army will be able to complete the assembly at the foot of the Taihang Mountains." In the Zhao Army camp heading north from the capital of Zhao, Sima Shang, his old partner Report the military information to Li Mu.

"It's finally here. Send the order and let the soldiers from all the ministries gather. The survival of Zhao State depends on this battle." Li Mu said solemnly. This time, he felt a pressure that he had never felt before.

With 350,000 Qin troops, and they were led by famous generals like Yang Ming and Wang Jian who were at their peak at this time, it was extremely difficult to remain undefeated, and it was even more difficult to win.

But Li Mu has a reason to win. In the current situation that Zhao State is facing, if he does not win, he is actually defeated, because the Qin army does not only have one route, whether it is the situation that Zhao State is facing, or the situation that Zhao State is facing National strength requires him to win as soon as possible, but will the Qin army really let him do so?

However, in the face of pressure, the weak become more cowardly, and the strong become stronger. Li Mu is such a strong person, but under the overwhelming pressure, Li Mu becomes more and more calm.

Therefore, even though he had already known that the Qin army was going to attack Zhao, Li Mu did not immediately gather the Zhao border cavalry distributed in the counties around Zhao. Instead, he calmly and patiently waited for the Qin army's move.

Because it is too difficult for Zhao's national power to support large-scale legion operations for a long time, Li Muwan can reduce the logistical pressure by gathering the army in one day.

Only people like Li Mu would dare to do this kind of operation, because gathering an army requires a process. Gathering an army when the Qin army is in action is like dancing on the edge of a cliff. If you are not careful, the enemy army will already be there. attack, but the Zhao army has not completed its assembly.

But Li Mu is obviously not worried about such a situation, because he has sufficient confidence in his side cavalry, just like he defeated the Qin army at the Great Wall in the South last year at a speed that the Qin army could not imagine.

"Yang Ming, let me see how far you have grown over the years." Li Mu said. The greater the pressure, the stronger his fighting spirit became.

In the Taihang Mountains, in the endless marching formation that stretches like a long dragon, Yang Ming, dressed in armor, rides a horse and stops on a boulder on the roadside. The cloak behind him is fluttering in the wind in the mountain. The war has begun. .
