Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"The response speed of the Yan Kingdom is quite fast, but the person leading the troops is really the Prince Yan Dan of the Yan Kingdom?" Li Mu, who had already sent his troops to the plain in front of Yanshan Mountain, asked Li Xin beside him.

Yang Ming naturally 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 is considered a good general, he is only good. Compared with his skills on the battlefield, Yang Ming values ​​Sima Shang's ability in organization and mobilization more. Over the years, the reason why Li Mu has been on the battlefield is He has repeatedly created miracles. In addition to Li Mu's own reasons, Sima Shang, who is willing to serve as Li Mu's green leaf, also has his own irreplaceable role. The big thing is Li Mu, but there are all kinds of miscellaneous things. Although they seem unimportant, they are However, Sima Shang is responsible for all the small things that cannot be ignored.

Sima Shang was transferred away, and Li Mu naturally lacked a deputy general, so Yang Ming arranged Li Xin next to Li Mu. After all, Li Xin was Qin Wangzheng's confidant. Qin Wangzheng should be satisfied with Yang Ming's arrangement. After all, being able to follow Li Mu in the battle formation, Li Xin could learn a lot if he was willing.

"It is Yan Dan, but this person has another identity besides being the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom. He was once a disciple of the Mohist giant Six-fingered Black Knight. After the Six-fingered Black Knight was killed by Yang Hujun many years ago, Although it is unknown why Yan Dan failed to inherit the position of the Mohist giant, his status in the Mohist family is still good, especially among the martial arts disciples of the Mohist family. He is quite influential, and there are many Mohist disciples around him. "As a confidant of Qin Wangzheng, Li Xin obviously has access to a lot of information that is difficult for ordinary people to grasp.

"The Mohist family? The current Mohist disciples are no longer the Mohist disciples a hundred years ago, let alone the Mohist disciples when the founder of the Mohist family, Mozi, was still alive. They do not practice the classics and principles, and only know how to be powerful and ruthless. They are no different from ordinary men in the world. It's nothing to worry about." Li Mu muttered, the Mohist school was able to surpass the Confucian school in all aspects, but now it can no longer do so. It has been reduced to the first level of Jianghu sects. How can there be a pattern of hundreds of schools of thought? Those so-called A disciple with high martial arts skills is nothing in front of the army.

"But the Mo family is good at defending, so there may be a few more variables." Li Xin said cautiously. After being beaten by Li Mu once, Li Xin had finally gotten rid of his problem of underestimating the enemy.

"We are only responsible for blocking the Yanshan Passage, but it does not mean that we must capture the Yanshan Passage. If Yan Dan really becomes adept at defending due to the help of the Mohist disciples, can we also defend against it? When the guards attacked the Chu State, At that time, wasn't the Chu army very good at defending? As a result, the guards were defending against each other, and they directly blocked the Chu state in the city. They could not leave the city and could only watch their friendly troops being annihilated." Li Mu recalled.

The battle between Qin and Wei when they joined forces to attack Chu, although it did not last long, caused quite a shock to the world. Chu and Wei officially turned against each other, and its influence was not limited to Chu and Wei. time, it directly cut off the opportunity for the other countries to form an alliance again. If not, Zhao would not have been the only country to be beaten in the past few years until it was destroyed.

"That's probably what Yan Dan can do. Although this 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 so that Yan Dan can have more success. Preparation time." Li Xin said steadily.

"That's exactly what I meant." Li Mu nodded.

The news that the Qin army's advance was slowing down soon reached Yan Dan's ears. Yan Dan, who felt something strange in his heart, asked the deputy general next to him. After the famous general Qin Kai of Yan State, who was the current head of the Qin family? It was Qin Wuyang's uncle's lieutenant general Qin Pi who thought for a long time and said: "The Qin army may be worried that their path will be unstable if they march too fast, but no matter what the Qin army's real intention is, it is still a problem for us. It's a good thing that the Qin army has slowed down, giving us more time to prepare."

Yan Dan pondered for a long time and didn't think of anything unusual. He still believed Qin Pi's words because he 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 favorable location, Yanshan is very dangerous and difficult. It is expected that the Qin army will be helpless against us." Yan Dan nodded and said, this is his first This is the first time that we are going to the battlefield in a real sense, and our past experience cannot be used. We must be cautious and careful.

When Yan Dan was full of ambition, on the wall of Jicheng not far from Yanshan, the soldiers and civilians who had been recruited could already see the flag of the Qin army coming from the south. It was dark and 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 is even more terrifying.

The Qin army actually came, and it came so quickly.

Were they the ones who defeated the Zhao people in the south who were already very good at fighting?

It doesn't seem to be anything scary, it's almost the same as us.

The Qin Army 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 in the direction of Jicheng had only one idea, and that was to capture the city in front of them, capture everything they could think of, and create something for themselves and their family. A better tomorrow is coming.

The Qin army marched arrogantly deep into the Yan State's enemy territory, completely ignoring the Yan State's soldiers and civilians who might attack them. There were only cavalry around the army, and they approached the Yan State's capital as if they were in uninhabited territory.

"The Qin army doesn't seem to have a very serious military appearance. It's not necessarily any better than the Zhao army." After leaving the Yan palace and climbing up the city wall in person, King Yan looked at the Qin army coming from the south and said to Yan Yi beside him. .

As the King of Yan, although King Xi of Yan has never personally commanded an army, he has received lessons from all aspects when he was still the prince. Regarding the art of war, King Xi of Yan is also considered to be familiar with it. Of course, It is limited to familiarity, because the purpose of his training in soldiers and horses is not to lead troops in battle, but so that he will not be deceived by his generals. He does not have to be proficient in soldiers and horses, but he must understand them.

"The combat strength of an army cannot only be judged by these. Your Majesty, please look at it. Although the Qin army's military formation is not very neat, the distance between each unit is almost equal. If it is attacked, it can form a defensive formation in the shortest time. , if they launch an attack, they can also complete the change of formation in a very short period of time. The gap between them is not caused by the lack of military discipline, but a kind of..." Yan Yi couldn't go on as he spoke. The goods are really limited, and it seems that we can only say this.

"Is there such a reason?" King Yan said in surprise, 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 at it from a distance, they look lazy and lazy, and their aura is far different from the majestic palace guards. I'm afraid the same is true for the Qin army."

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. This knowledge was very impressive. In fact, when he thought about it, he could How can a king who sits peacefully on the throne and enjoys himself be a truly foolish king? In this age of great strife, there is no one who can lie down, except, of course, the one from Qi.

"Your Majesty is wise." Yan Yi, who was thinking, replied, thinking that in this country of Yan, it is better not to think that you are too smart. Who here is really stupid who can stand in that place? People who seem dull may have other problems.

But if this is the case, are there some who seem to be smart and slip through the cracks?

Amidst the suppressed breathing sounds, the Qin army continued to approach Jicheng. The gradually losing green field on the outskirts of Jicheng immediately turned into a huge construction site. It was like the Qin army was dividing the territory of each military camp. Some soldiers walked towards the woods in the distance with axes and saws, and some soldiers made fires in the pits to prepare for cooking. Anyway, it was very hot outside the city.

Such a heated scene was completely different in the eyes of the Yan State's monarchs, ministers, soldiers and civilians on Jicheng. What they saw was not only the abundant energy of the Qin army, but also the Qin army's naked disregard for their own side.

"Your Majesty, I am going to fight. The Qin army is really too arrogant. They built a camp under the noses of so many of us and did not care about our existence. It is really too much." A young general came to King Yan. Beside Xi, he said indignantly.

"Please fight?" King Yan looked at the young general with a fighting spirit in front of him, with a soft look in his eyes. After all, there were still people in the Yan Kingdom.

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

"The Qin army is elite and cannot take risks." Yan Yi, as a general, was obviously dissatisfied with the young general's behavior of stepping ahead of him without asking for instructions, and his tone of voice increased when he spoke.

"The Qin army underestimates the enemy, you can give it a try." Faced with Yan Yi's heavy words, the young general said with a pinched neck.

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

"Your Majesty, if we fail to win and the Qin army takes the opportunity to cover up the enemy, the city gate may be lost." Yan Yi reminded.

"Your Majesty, if we don't win, we will never return to the city." The young general said.
