Shuofang County.

On the endless steppe, a full 24,000 cavalry rode on war horses, looking like an endless wave, incomparably magnificent.

This is now the most elite troops that can be mobilized among the seven northern counties of Zhao State, except for the troops that must be garrisoned.

Yi Qusheng looked at the extremely powerful cavalry of the Zhao State in front of him, and his whole face was filled with a kind of excitement.

Although the Yiqu people have gradually changed from nomads to semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural people over the past few hundred years, the yearning for the grassland and cavalry is still deeply rooted in the hearts of every Yiqu people, especially fanatical warfighters like Yiqu Sheng.

"If one day I can lead such a powerful cavalry, it will really be a death without regrets!" Yi Qusheng muttered.

"Of course you can command such a powerful cavalry." A sentence suddenly floated over next to him, and Yi Qusheng turned his head to look at it and found that it was Li Mu.

Li Mu sat on the horse, the general's armor on his body made his whole person shine and majestic in the sun, and countless reflected rays of light shot into Yiqusheng's eyes, so shaking that Yiqusheng couldn't open them at all.

Li Mu smiled and said to Yi Qusheng: "As long as you are willing to join our Zhao State and become a cavalry of the Zhao State, then I believe that in the near future, you will definitely be able to become a world-famous cavalry general!" ”

Since Yiqu Sheng led the Yiqu people to flee to the territory of Shuofang County of Zhao State, Li Mu led thousands of cavalry to camp near the camp of the Yiqu people in the name of protection.

Although both sides are well aware of the fact that this situation is called protection and is actually surveillance, neither of them has taken the initiative to find fault with this.

On the contrary, Yi Qusheng often took the initiative to find Li Mu to hunt together and discuss military strategies together.

In such a process, Yi Qusheng and Li Mu naturally became friends.

Friends who admire each other.

Yiqusheng found that Li Mu had extremely unique views on how to command the cavalry corps to fight, so he admired Li Mu and thought that Li Mu was the best cavalry commander he had ever seen in the world.

And Li Mu also found out in these days of contact that Yiqu Sheng is not only a super marksman, but also a super fierce general who can skillfully use all the weapons on the horse.

Since the advent of saddles and stirrups and armored cavalry, Li Mu has begun to consciously cultivate the horse combat ability of the cavalry of the Zhao State.

After a few years of training, even the light cavalry of the Zhao State now has the ability to charge brazenly in the face of the light armored infantry.

As a result, horse warfare, or in popular parlance, "riding a horse heads-up" began to become an emerging craze among the cavalry of the Zhao State.

After this Yiqu Sheng came to Shuofang County, he only watched a few hand-to-hand combat exercises in the Zhao military camp, and spent a few days familiarizing himself with the weapons of the Zhao army, and then put forward a request to also participate in the horse battle.

Then the thing that made Li Mu and all the soldiers of the Zhao army drop their jaws in shock happened.

Yiqu Sheng defeated his opponents one after another in the horse battle, and defeated a total of hundreds of Zhao army warriors, and achieved an incredible victory!

As long as the two sides fight on horseback, whether it is shooting bows and arrows from a distance, or charging with spears face-to-face, or even riding horses in circles and fighting with swords, in short, this Yiqu victory is simply omnipotent, so that the opponents fall off their horses again and again in a variety of embarrassed postures and eat the bitter fruits of defeat.

After more than a month of observation, Li Mu came to an extremely positive conclusion - when it comes to horse warfare, I am afraid that no one in the whole world is the opponent of Yiqu Sheng.

This Yiqu victory is simply a super genius of horse warfare. Just give him a horse, a bow and arrows, and a long sword, and he will be omnipotent!

Of course, Li Mu moved his mind to recruit Yiqusheng.

If you can have such a person as Yiqu Sheng, who can be called invincible in the future, as the vanguard general of the cavalry of Zhao State, it will be a very cool thing.

It's a pity that Li Mu's idea was immediately rejected by Yi Qusheng very ruthlessly.

"I am the future King of Yiqu, the king who rules over the countless people of the Yiqu country. How could he succumb to King Zhao and act as a cavalry vanguard general? ”

When Yi Qusheng said this, his tone was extremely affirmative, and his face shone with confidence.

Li Mu, who had already become friends with Yiqu Sheng, couldn't see his stinky appearance, so he had to remind Yi Qu Sheng of one thing: "Hey, even if your Yiqu Kingdom is successfully restored, compared to Zhao State, it is just an insignificant small country that can be crushed and eliminated in minutes." ”

Yi Qusheng's reply to this was a bright smile: "If there really is such a day, then I will lead my people across the Yellow River to the land of the Yue clan." ”

"The people of the Yue Clan will not tolerate you grazing on their land!"

"Then I will take my people and kill all the Yue people!"

Li Mu shook his head, once again confirming the fact that this Yi Qusheng's obsession with his personal force had reached a considerable point.

There are really people in this world who believe that a country can be established by force alone......

Fortunately, Li Mu didn't plan to continue to entangle himself with the tenacious guy in front of him, he still had more important tasks to perform.

Just last night, Li Mu had just received a warning from the defender of Hedong County, Ji Xin, that the Qin army had officially opened and launched an attack on Hedong County.

Zhao Dan, the monarch who was in charge of Handan's overall situation, had already given instructions to Li Mu in advance, so after Li Mu got the information of Ji Xin, he immediately gathered the 20,000 cavalry around him at dawn and prepared to attack the Qin people in the south.

To be honest, given the population of hundreds of thousands of people in the seven northern counties of Zhao State, in fact, there is no problem at all in terms of the number of 50,000 cavalry.

But Li Mu didn't plan to do this, on the one hand, because he felt that too many of them might affect mobility, and on the other hand, because it was definitely a big headache to solve the food and drink supply of the 50,000 cavalry.

"Then it's easy for you to take 20,000 cavalry? If nothing else, forage alone is a big problem. Yi Qu Sheng raised his doubts.

"It's not easy, either." Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "But according to the information provided by Hu Yiwei, there is enough forage on the land of the Qin people to feed twenty thousand war horses. ”

"Forage?" Yi Qusheng looked confused: "Why don't I remember that Qin has the habit of planting pasture, you don't want to gnaw all the grassland of the Qin people, right?" ”

"Of course not." Li Mu shook his head very decisively, and then said with a smile: "What's so delicious about grass?" I will let my war horses gnaw the wheat grain of the Qin people in the fields. ”

"Wheat grain?" Yi Qusheng stared at Li Mu with wide eyes, and after a long while, he hissed: "If that's the case, then the people of the Qin State will definitely go crazy!" ”

Li Mu laughed and patted Yi Qusheng's shoulder vigorously: "I went to Guanzhong this time to make the people of the Qin Kingdom crazy, and the more crazy the better!" ”

Yiqu Sheng suddenly found himself speechless.

A moment later, an army of more than 20,000 cavalry began to move.

The sound of the hooves of countless war horses trampled on the earth, and the billowing smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, turning into a super long dragon that was more than ten miles long, and went straight south without stopping.

The goal - Guanzhong!
