Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 490
"The reaction speed of the whole country of Yan is quite fast, but the leader of the army is really Yan Dan, the prince of Yan country?" Li Mu, who had already interspersed the soldiers and horses on the plain in front of the mountain of Yanshan, asked Li Xin beside him.

Yang Ming had his own considerations in arranging these two people from the same clan together. As for where Li Mu's former deputy Sima Shang went, he naturally organized the people of Zhao to build Chidao.

Although Sima Shang was considered a good general, he was only good. Compared with his ability on the battlefield, Yang Ming valued Sima Shang's ability in organization and mobilization more. Over the years, the reason why Li Mu was on the battlefield In addition to Li Mu's own reasons, the existence of Sima Shang, who is willing to be Li Mu's green leaf, also has its own irreplaceable role. However, the trivial matters that cannot be ignored are all taken care of by Sima Shang.

Sima Shang was transferred away, so Li Mu naturally lacked a lieutenant general, so Yang Ming arranged Li Xin by Li Mu's side. After all, Li Xin is Qin Wangzheng's confidant. Qin Wangzheng should be satisfied with Yang Ming's arrangement. After all, Li Xin can learn a lot if he is willing to follow Li Mu and be on the battlefield.

"It is Yan Dan, but this person has another identity besides the identity of the prince of Yan. He was once the disciple of the Mohist giant Liuzhi Heixia. After Liuzhi Heixia was killed by Yang Hujun many years ago, Although I don't know the reason why Yan Dan failed to inherit the position of the Mohist giant, but his status in the Mohist is still good, especially among the Mohist martial disciples, he is quite influential, and there are many Mohist disciples around him. "As Qin Wangzheng's confidant, Li Xin obviously has access to a lot of information that is difficult for ordinary people to grasp.

"The Mohists? The Mohist disciples today are not the Mohist disciples of 100 years ago, let alone the Mohist disciples when the Mohist Patriarch Mozi was still alive. They don't practice the scriptures and righteousness, but only know how to fight fiercely. They are no different from ordinary people in the world. For concern." Li Mu pondered, the Mohist school was able to overwhelm the Confucianism in all aspects, but it has long since ceased to exist, it has been reduced to the top of the Jianghu sect, and there is no such thing as a pattern of schools of thought, those so-called martial arts Gao Qiang's disciples are nothing in front of the army.

"However, the Mo family is good at defending, so I'm afraid there will be some more variables." Li Xin said cautiously, since he was beaten by Li Muhang once, Li Xin has corrected the problem of underestimating the enemy.

"We are only responsible for blocking the Yanshan Passage, but it doesn't mean that we must capture the Yanshan Passage. If Yandan really became good at defending because of the help of Mohist disciples, can we also defend against each other? At that time, wasn’t the Chu army very good at defending? As a result, the guards defended against each other, directly blocking Chu in the city, unable to leave the city, and could only watch their friendly troops being wiped out.” Li Mu recalled.

The battle that Qin and Wei joined forces to attack Chu, although it didn't last long, caused quite a shock in the world. Chu and Wei officially turned against each other, and its influence was not limited to Chu and Wei. In the meantime, it directly cut off the chance for the countries to form an alliance again. If it weren't for this, in the past few years, Zhao Guo would not have been beaten in the right direction until the country perished.

"That's probably something that Yandan can really do. Although the prince of Yan has a good reputation, he has never been a person who is good at military affairs. Maybe we can slow down the offensive and let Yandan have more The preparation time." Li Xin said steadily.

"I also have that intention." Li Mu nodded.

The news that the Qin army's marching speed was slowing down soon spread to Yan Dan's ears. Yan Dan, who felt strange in his heart, asked the lieutenant beside him. Qin Pi, the deputy general of Qin Wuyang's uncle, said after thinking for a long time: "The Qin army may be worried that the marching speed is too fast and the road will be unstable, but no matter what the real intention of the Qin army is, it is a matter for us. Good thing, Qin Jun slowed down, leaving us more time to prepare."

Yan Dan pondered for a long time, but did not think of anything unusual. Regarding Qin Pi's words, he still believed, because he also thought so in his heart, and people are often more willing to believe what they believe.

"Yes, this will give us more time to prepare. Although the Qin army is powerful, as long as we take the first step to occupy the geographical advantage, and Yanshan is full of dangers, it is expected that the Qin army will have nothing to do with us." Yan Dan nodded, this is his first time. When going to the battlefield in a real sense for the first time, past experience cannot be used, so one must be cautious and cautious.

When Yandan was smug, on the wall of Jicheng not far from Yanshan Mountain, the soldiers and civilians who had been conscripted could already see the Qin army's flag coming from the south. It was so dark that it was moving like dark clouds in the sky. Especially since Jicheng is located in a plain, it seems that the Qin army's military power that can destroy almost everything makes people feel fearful.

Qin Jun actually came, and he came so fast.

Was it they who defeated the Zhao people in the south who were already very good at fighting?
It seems that there is nothing terrible, and it is similar to us.

The Qin Jun seen in the eyes of countless people is the same, but the thoughts they have are completely different.

Compared with the turbulent thoughts on Jicheng City, the Qin army marching silently towards Jicheng had only one idea, that is to capture the city in front of them, capture everything they thought of, and create a new life for themselves and their families. A better tomorrow to come.

The Qin army swaggered deep into the enemy's territory of Yan State, completely ignoring the soldiers and civilians in Yan State who might attack them. Around the army, only cavalry was moving around, and they approached the capital of Yan State as if they had entered the land of no one.

"Qin Jun's military appearance doesn't seem to be very dignified. It may not be stronger than Zhao Jun." Yan Wangxi, who left Yanwang Palace and climbed up the city wall, looked at Qin Jun who came from the south, and said to Yan Yi beside him .

As the King of Yan, although Yan Wangxi had never personally commanded an army, but when he was still the crown prince, the lessons he received covered all aspects. Yan Wangxi was also familiar with the art of war. It is only limited to familiarity, because his purpose of training soldiers and horses is not to lead troops in battle, but to prevent himself from being deceived by the generals under his command. He may not be good at soldiers and horses, but he must understand them.

"You can't just look at the combat power of an army. Your Majesty, please look at it. Although the Qin army's army formation is not very orderly, the distance between each department is almost equal. If it encounters an attack, it can form a defensive formation in the shortest time. , if an attack is launched, the formation can be completed in a very short period of time. The gap between them is not formed by the lax military discipline, but a kind of..." Yan Yi couldn't continue talking, his stomach The goods are really limited, it seems that this is all I can say.

"There is such a reason?" Yan Wangxi was surprised, but then he showed a look of surprise, and continued: "I have seen some masters before, those people are obviously very powerful in martial arts, but they look like ordinary people , Standing there and looking from a distance, he is lazy and lazy, and his aura is far from that of the mighty palace guards, and it is probably the same for Qin Jun."

Listening to Yan Wangxi's explanation, Yan Yi's expression became more moved, because he found that his king didn't seem to be so stupid anymore. How can a king who sits comfortably on the throne and enjoys himself as a real foolish king? In this world of great strife, there is no such thing as lying flat, except of course the one in Qi.

"Your Majesty is wise." Yan Yi, who was thinking about it, replied, only thinking that in this country of Yan, it's better not to think too smart. Here, who can stand in that place is really stupid?People who seem stupid may have other abysses.

But if this is the case, do those seemingly smart people also slip through the net?
Amid the sound of depressing breaths, the Qin army kept approaching Jicheng. On the outskirts of Jicheng, which gradually lost its green field, it immediately turned into a huge construction site. It seemed that the Qin army was dividing the territory of each barracks. Some soldiers took axes and saws and went to the distant woods, and some soldiers were lighting a fire in the hanging pit to prepare for cooking. Anyway, it can be said that the outside of the city is in full swing.

In the eyes of the monarchs, officials, soldiers and civilians of Yan State on Jicheng, such a hot scene changed completely. What they saw was not only the abundant energy of Qin Jun, but also Qin Jun's blatant disregard for his own side.

"Your Majesty, the last general invites us to fight. The Qin army is too arrogant. It is too deceitful to build a camp under the noses of so many of us without caring about our existence." A young general came to King Yan Beside Xi, said indignantly.

"Please fight?" Yan Wangxi looked at the young general in front of him with a look of fighting spirit, and there was a soft look in his eyes, Yan Guo still has people after all.

"Yes, please allow your Majesty to lead the cavalry out of the city to fight the Qin army." The young general said.

"Qin's army is elite, don't take risks." As a general, Yan Yi was obviously dissatisfied with the young general's behavior of overtaking him without asking for instructions, and his tone became more serious when he spoke.

"Qin Jun underestimated the enemy, you can try it." Facing Yan Yi's heavy words, the young general said with a stiff neck.

"The elite of the Qin army? The Qin army underestimated the enemy?" Yan Wangxi pondered, his heart had already tilted. How could Yan Wangxi not have any emotions when the Qin army blocked him at the door so grandiosely.

"Your Majesty, if we are not victorious, the Qin army may take the opportunity to cover up the attack, and the city gate may be lost." Yan Yi reminded.

"Your Majesty, if you are not victorious, the last general will never return to the city." The young general said.
