Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 462 The war has begun
At the beginning of March in the 16th year of Qin Wangzheng, Yang Ming led his personal guard Yulin from Xianyang to Jinyang, Taiyuan County. At this time, Jinyang City had become a huge military camp, and countless weapons and grain were transported from the arsenal and grain depot. In addition, there is a steady stream of supplies from Guanzhong and from Sanchuan County towards Jinyang City.

Yang Ming, who arrived in Jinyang City, did not launch an attack on Zhao State immediately. Instead, he took the Tiger Guards as the vanguard and stationed at Jingxing Pass to ensure the Qin army's cross-border Taihang Mountain. During this process, Yang Ming On the other hand, I conducted preliminary training in Jinyang City with the original establishment of the Qin Army, integrating various 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 South Route Army's 20 troops, had already led his troops to attack the Great Wall of Zhao State, which stretched for hundreds of miles.

"General, the last general heard that the North Road Army is still in Jinyang to reorganize the army. We are so anxious to launch an attack, how can we explain it in the art of war?" Wang Ben, his lieutenant general and his son, asked with a puzzled face.

"It 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 able to conquer With the existence of being good at fighting, Yang Hujun can't have any flaws in the face of Li Mu and his Zhao army, but the North Road Army is different from our side. Although our soldiers come from the five counties, the soldiers However, the origins of the army are all on both sides of the river. Although there are counties and counties, the language and various customs are similar. The integration, in a major war, can easily turn into a fatal factor."

For others, Wang Jian may hide his secrets, but in front of his own son, Wang Jian will not. The rise and fall of a family requires the joint efforts of several generations, not just one person.

Back then, Lord Wu An Bai Qi was so powerful that his status and prestige were not high, but once Bai Qi died, how many members of the Bai family would there be?The Bai family, which was so powerful in the past, now only has three or two small fish and shrimps left, which is really ugly.

In front of Bai Qi, Wang Jian's combat level may not be better than Bai Qi's, but in a certain aspect, Wang Jian's natural level is still higher than Bai Qi's. Among other things, in terms of teaching his heirs, Wang Jian has never No matter if it is the son Wang Ben or the grandson Wang Li, as long as they can teach their children and grandchildren well, the Wang family can truly establish a lintel in Qin.

"So it turns out 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 Mincheng City, and last year they cooperated with each other to capture the three counties in the northern border of Qin State.

"Bold and careful, you can become a good general. Yang Hujun is not only known for his bravery. His bravery is based on his control over the ever-changing changes in the battle situation." Wang Jian said.

Wang Jian couldn't learn Yang Ming's fighting style, not to mention other things, just Yang Ming's personal force cannot be copied, but this does not mean that Wang Jian must think that he is inferior to Yang Ming, everyone has their own strengths. Strengths, on top of war, how to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses is what a qualified general should consider.

"It's just the general, why are we rushing to attack now, shouldn't we attack after making preparations?" While his thoughts were wandering, Wang Ben thought of the current situation.

In previous battles, even if Wang Jian had the advantage, he always fought steadily and never gave the enemy even a chance. But this time, Wang Jian rarely chose to attack quickly. The 20 army was divided into several divisions. Rolling towards the Great Wall in the southern border of Zhao State, all they have to do is to find out the enemy's situation, or to fight together, all they have is to swarm up, just like a mediocre general.

"It's just one moment at a time and another moment at a time. The formulation of a military strategy is not something you can do whatever you want, but it has to be formulated according to the specific situation of the enemy. The current Zhao army is barely defensive and has no offensive power at all. In such a situation Under such circumstances, it is not only useless for us to fight steadily, but it is a waste of time. Could it be that Zhao Jun dared to cross the Great Wall and attack us?" Wang Jian said.

"20 vs. [-], it doesn't take so many tricks, it just needs to be crushed with force." Wang Jian continued.

"It's that simple?" Wang Ben asked doubtfully.

"Of course it won't be that simple. You have to know that Zhao Jun already has enough experience in defense by relying on the Great Wall in the South. Their defense is very stable. At this time, we use the previous offensive method, and they know how to deal with it. On the contrary, now Our army swarmed up, and each department attacked in its own way, which could catch Zhao Jun by surprise. In the uninterrupted and unstructured attack, Zhao Jun was mobilized, so that they had to come out of their previous defensive experience. Let them change, only in this process, in the process of this change, will we have the opportunity to seize their flaws, and then break through the southern Great Wall of Zhao State in one fell swoop, take down the capital of Zhao, and achieve the first victory in destroying Zhao. "Wang Jian said confidently with 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, step by step from the general who was only in charge of the sub-general's food and grass to the current general and No. 1 in the Qin army, but the world talked about the generals of the Qin State At that time, he often only knew Yang Ming, the captain of the Qin State Guard Army.

Everyone in the world knows Yang Ming's name. Wang Ben even remembered that when he attacked Zhao's city a few years ago, he saw an old woman teach her mischievous grandson a lesson, and even used Yang Ming's name to intimidate her grandson.

Wang Ben can also understand the reason, because Yang Ming is young enough and brave enough, and all the victories he achieved were achieved under the circumstances that it is almost impossible to win. All kinds of factors are superimposed, and naturally Yang Ming's There are too many halos on him.

Compared with Wang Jian, although he is victorious in all battles, he lacks a lot of aura. Wang Jian's victories are all crushing the enemy with an upright attitude. Although the result is also a victory, it will be fine after all. Somewhat topical.

Although Wang Jian has always fought steadily in wars, no one who can reach the position of general in the Qin State has no pride of his own. A false name for nothing?

So at this time, Wang Ben understood his father's feelings for the first victory in destroying Zhao.

Yes, you can't just let Yang Hujun focus on the front.Wang Ben said to himself in his heart, and his fighting spirit was also burning.

When the war on the southern front broke out with Wang Jian's bravery and diligence, the 15 Qin troops of the North Route Army set out slowly from Jinyang. At the beginning, in nearly ten years, the Qin army had crossed the Taihang Mountains several times and invaded the border of Zhao State, but never achieved an absolute victory, and even suffered a major defeat. Now that the Qin Army once again crossed the Taihang Mountains, it can change the past Is it the undefeated record?
"General, the Qin army's vanguard has already entered Taihang Mountain. In seven days at most, the Qin army will be able to complete the assembly at the foot of Taihang Mountain." Sima Shang, an old partner, was in the Zhao army camp that went north from Zhaodu. Reported the military situation to Li Mu.

"Finally it's coming, pass down the order to let all the soldiers gather, the life and death of the Zhao country depends on this battle." Li Mu said solemnly, this time, he felt a pressure that he had never felt before.

With 35 Qin troops, and they are still commanded by famous generals like Yang Ming and Wang Jian at the peak at this time, it is already extremely difficult to remain undefeated, and it is even more difficult to win.

But Li Mu has a reason to win. In the current situation facing Zhao Guo, if he does not win, he is actually defeated, because Qin Jun does not only have one way, no matter the situation Zhao Guo is facing, or Zhao Guo's national strength, he must win as soon as possible, but will Qin Jun really let him do what he wants?
However, in the face of pressure, the weak become 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 already knew that the Qin army was going to attack Zhao, Li Mu did not immediately gather the Zhao border riders who were distributed in the counties of the Zhao border, but calmly and patiently waited for the Qin army's action.

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

Only people like Li Mu dare to do this kind of operation, because the gathering of the army needs a process. He gathered the army when the Qin army was in action, which can be said to be dancing on the edge of the cliff. The attack came, but the Zhao army did not complete the assembly.

But Li Mu is obviously not worried about such a situation, because he has sufficient confidence in the side riders under his command, just like defeating the Qin army at an unimaginable speed on the Great Wall in the southern border last year.

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

In the Taihang Mountains, stretching like a long dragon, in the boundless marching formation, Yang Ming in battle armor stood on a huge boulder by the roadside, with the cloak behind him fluttering in the wind in the mountains. The war has already begun. .
