Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 429
In Zhao Jun's barracks at the foot of Langmeng City, Li Mu, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, asked the heart-piercing soldier under the commander's case, "Sima Qiu gathered troops to go to Hengshan Pass?"

"Reporting to the general, Master Sima had already left Dai County when I entered the secret road of Mount Heng. Now this time should have been blocked in front of the pass of Mount Heng before the Qin army." The messenger said.

In Hengshan and Taihang Mountains, although there are very few roads, there are not only a few mountain trails to walk on, but most of them are small trails and dead paths that are too small for people to pass. It’s okay, and you can barely pass through the mountains and ridges, but when there are too many people, it will be a dead end, and the march is even more hopeless, and the messenger soldiers who appeared in front of Li Mu at this time are walking in the middle of which there are almost no people in the past. Will go the trails that come.

"Go down." Li Mu took back the bamboo slips, he already knew the contents of the slips, and he didn't want to know anything else.

The messenger looked at Li Mu in astonishment. How could his own general react like this? He was too calm, so calm to the point of abnormality, but he was just a messenger, and it was impossible for anyone to answer him. doubts.

Sima Shang, who had been Li Mu's deputy all these years, walked into the big tent at the same time that the messenger soldiers walked out of the big tent.

"General, is there any news from the northern border?" Sima Shang, who is not only a superior and a superior to Li Mu, but also a good friend, asked directly.

"Daijun is going to be lost." Li Mu, who was abnormally calm in front of the messenger soldier, let out a long sigh when he faced his best friend and most proud deputy, unable to hide his true feelings at this time.

"Why did the general make such a statement? Although the three armies in the northern border are insufficient in strength, after all, the territory is vast, with hundreds of miles from north to south, and nearly a thousand miles from east to west. The Qin army is not to say that it is attacking the city, but it wants to go through the three northern borders in a short time. It will take a long time for the county to be built, so why did Dai County fall into the hands of the Qin army so quickly?" Sima Shang said in shock.

The three counties in the north of Zhao State are vast and sparsely populated. Although it is its shortcoming, it can sometimes become its advantage. The vast area allows it to have sufficient room for maneuver when facing the enemy's attack. As for countries like South Korea and Wei, they don't even have a strategic depth.

In the northern border, even if the Qin army is on their way, they may not rush to Dai County at this time, so how can they take down the entire Dai County?

"Look, that kid Sima Qiu has gathered his troops to fight Yang Ming's Dragonrider Imperial Army." Li Mu threw the bamboo slips just now to Sima Shang.

Although Li Mu kept telling himself not to get angry, it was only out of reason. Sima Qiu pretended to be smart, so that the situation in the northern border that was already almost collapsed was even more difficult to recover. How could Li Mu really have no emotions.

Sima Shang looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, his two eyebrows were already frowned, he only saw half of the slips, Sima Shang didn't want to read it anymore, Li Mu might only be angry, but Sima Shang still had more shame and anger, because Sima Qiu was His nephew, Sima Qiu's position today, apart from his own ability, Sima Shang's face is also a very important factor.

It can be said that Sima Qiu's success or failure is related to his Sima Shang's face, but now...

Sima Shang forced himself to look at the letter again, hoping that he could see something different from it, but the text in the letter was really limited, no matter how he looked at it, he could only see the same information.

Sima Shang lowered his arms dejectedly, but his palms were clenched tightly, and he said almost gnashing his teeth: "Zhuzi can't bear the responsibility!"

"Once the Dai Commandery is lost, even the army capital of the State of Yan will be completely blocked by the Qin Army, and the three counties in the northern border will not be owned by the State of Zhao from now on." Li Mu sighed, at this time even his invincible Zhao Guowu Anjun could only feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

The second route to the Yan State is gone, Li Mu now has only one last choice, which is to defeat Wang Jian, and then attack Taiyuan County, in order to threaten the Qin army to attack the back route of the three northern counties, forcing The Qin army withdrew, but Wang Jian made a steadfast defense, and the Taihang Mountains were not so easy to pass through, leaving Li Mu with very few opportunities.

While Li Mu was thinking hard about how to break the situation, before the mountain pass at the northern foot of Hengshan Mountain, the vanguard of the Qin army had already jumped out of the mountain path and formed a formation in front of the mountain. More than a thousand dragonriders formed a square formation. The hasty journey has consumed a lot of their physical strength and spirit, but the momentum is still there.

"The Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army has less than 3 troops. The dragon riders are the cavalry, and the tiger guards are the infantry. The battle of Dongjun was famous all over the world. A few years ago, when Qin and Wei defeated Chu, they defeated them in an hour. The most elite legion of the Chu State can almost be regarded as the most powerful existence among the various divisions of the Qin Army. Now it seems that it really deserves its reputation. Just this momentum is not weaker than the elite side cavalry under the command of the general. " Sima Qiu couldn't help admiring as he looked at the dragonriding imperial army in front of him.

"Since we know that the enemy is very strong, we should avoid it and rely on the city to defend, so why must we fight head-on." Le Mo said to himself, he always felt that Sima Qiu was unreliable.

Although he doesn't practice the art of war, there are many similarities between the battle between warriors and the contest between troops in war. Le Mo knows very well that if two people fight hand to hand, too gorgeous moves will not achieve better results. , On the contrary, because it is too flamboyant, it will disperse its strength on useless false moves, so that the enemy will catch the opening, and the current Sima Qiu reminds him of those who advocate flamboyant moves.

At this moment, Sima Qiu had calculated so much, but is it really necessary?Obviously, it is only necessary to block the Qin army in Hengshan, but now thinking about annihilating the forward of the Qin army, is it too superfluous?Too many tricks often means more flaws.Le Mo was thinking in his heart, but he couldn't say these words. He had self-knowledge, and he just thought that he was really a layman, and he couldn't see the deeper mystery.

"Master Guard, under the banner in front is the position of the Zhao Army's Commander-in-Chief." Feng Yan, the Zuo Qianfu Commander of the Third Battalion of the Dragon Rider Forbidden Army, pointed out the location of Sima Qiu in the Zhao Army to Yang Ming who walked out of the Hengshan Mountain Road.

"Sima? I'm quite familiar with this surname. It seems that the general of the Zhao army is really Sima Qiu." Yang Ming looked at the large formation of the Zhao army in front of him. Tens of thousands of people lined up, and the army can be formed. Naturally, there is a side to let The power that the guru avoids.

"Is Sima Qiu planning to use his 1 people to defeat our 2000 people?" Yang Ming, who had already judged Sima Qiu's real intention, couldn't help laughing at this moment.

Following the legend of Yang Ming's laughter, the dragonriding guards on the left and right also showed smiles, and their dignifiedness was reduced a bit. Now, half of their 2000 people have not walked out of the Hengshan Mountain Road. Qianqi, facing Zhao Jun Wanqi, how could he not be dignified.

However, with Yang Ming's laughter, confidence from Yang Ming also spread.

"Zhao Jun wants to use [-] riders to deal with our [-] riders. Do you think Zhao Jun has the upper hand?" Yang Ming said, looking at the dragon riders on the left and right.

"What I want to say is that now, it is not Zhao Jun Wanqi who is fighting our Qianqi, but our Qianqi is fighting against Zhao Jun's leader. It is Zhao Jun who is preparing to fight our Qianqi. From now on, we only have one The goal is to take down the general of the Zhao army." Yang Ming raised the Canglong Wentian halberd in his hand, on the battlefield, the halberd is the real overlord of military skills.

"Today, on top of the battle strategy of the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army, there will be another addition. On the second day of April in the 15th year of the Qin Dynasty, the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army defeated the Zhao Army with thousands of riders at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, and beheaded the Zhao Army's general." Yang Minggao With a loud voice, under the blessing of strong skills, this shout resounded in front of the two armies.

"Attack." Following Yang Ming's halberd in his palm, Yang Ming, who did not wait for the follow-up Qianqi to replenish, directly urged his horses to rush towards Zhao Jun's formation several miles away.

Qianqi followed closely behind Yang Ming. During the charge, they each adjusted their positions. The original policy had become a conical formation headed by Yang Ming. The aura that Qianqi erupted at this time made Sima Qiu His heart trembled. From Yang Ming's words just now, and from the Qin army's offensive momentum at this time, he could see that Yang Ming's real goal was himself. Thinking of the battle under Yanmen City ten years ago, Sima Qiu While looking forward to and longing to defeat Yang Ming, at the same time, he felt an uncontrollable chill.

"Heavy cavalry in front, bow cavalry attacking from the west, and light cavalry cover." Sima Qiu put aside unnecessary thoughts, and ordered decisively. At this moment, any extra thoughts are unnecessary, and there is only one battle.

Following Sima Qiu's order to unfurl the flag, Daijun's most elite thousand-one heavy five-armored cavalry has already entered the battle, and the ill-equipped Qingqi has also reined in.

"Attack." Sima Qiu gave an order, and the heavy armored cavalry from the Standing Commander's Mansion rushed towards the Qin army.

Sima Qiu closely watched the situation on the battlefield, but at a distance of several miles, under the charge of cavalry from both sides, they were constantly drawn closer. In the blink of an eye, both sides had already seen each other's sight.

At this time, Zhao Jun's bow cavalry has also bent its bow and set arrows. The verbs that wolf cavalry are good at, Zhao Jun's side cavalry is also good at, and because of better organization and better equipment, Zhao Jun's side cavalry His cavalry and shooting ability is even higher than that of wolf cavalry.

With the trembling of the bowstring, countless arrows shot towards Qin Jun. Qin Jun did not fight back, but raised his left arm and blocked the deadly arrows with a small shield made by cavalry. As for the insignificant places, They were too lazy to defend themselves, the armor on their bodies was enough to protect them from fatal injuries under the attack of Zhao Jun's bow cavalry.

Their goal at this time is only one, and that is to defeat the heavy cavalry of the Zhao army in front of them, break through the formation of the Zhao army, and behead the leader of the Zhao army, Sima Qiu.
