Chapter 367: The Eve of the Decisive Battle (Fourth Update)

Wusui City.

The city was located on the border between Zhao and Yan, and is now the stronghold of the Zhao-Qi coalition forces.

Pang Xuan, the lieutenant general of the Northern Army of Zhao, led the 70,000 Zhao army and the remnants of the 120,000 Qi army, and the two countries' combined forces were stationed here.

A few miles away from here is the camp of the Yan State, where the 200,000 Yan army led by the Yan State Xiangbang Rong Worm is stationed.

Although he is already full of gray hair, Pang Xuan is still vigorous when he walks, and when he speaks, he is also like a bell, if you don't look at his face and only listen to the voice, it will even make people think that he is actually just a man about forty years old and in his prime.

At this moment, Pang Xuan was in the tent, discussing countermeasures with Kuang Liang, the chief general of the Qi army.

Compared with the high spirits when he led the army to cross the Yellow River not long ago, the expression on Kuang Liang's face at this moment was obviously much more depressed.

But this is also a very normal thing, who let Kuang Liang actually suffer a big defeat in a head-to-head battle with Yan Guo?

The grievances and grievances between Qi and Yan in the past few decades have been very complex and conflictual, first Qi wanted to take advantage of the rebellion of Zizhi to annex Yan, and then Yan almost swallowed Qi in turn by means of the Five Kingdoms to attack Qi, and the two countries can be regarded as super mortal enemies.

suffered defeat at the hands of such a mortal enemy, Kuang Liang's face can be good-looking, and there will be ghosts!

If it weren't for the fact that Kuang Liang had always been good friends with Xiangbang Housheng and sent a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to Housheng every year, where would the current Kuang Liang still be qualified to wear a crime and make meritorious contributions here, and he would have been recalled to Linzi by Qi Wangjian to ask for guilt.

In fact, Kuang Liang was careless, just when he saw Yan Jun, he couldn't wait, and wanted to take advantage of Yan Jun's unstable foothold to hit Rong Yan by surprise, but he didn't expect that his own Qi army had actually experienced a long journey, and his physical strength was already insufficient, but after a tug-of-war, he was successfully killed by the Yan army, who was more at ease.

Pang Xuan looked at Kuang Liang with blazing eyes, and asked, "General Kuang Liang, in your opinion, how is the combat effectiveness of this Yan army?" ”

Kuang Liang thought for a while and said: "Among the Yan army, there are only 50,000 elites, and the combat effectiveness of the rest of the troops is average. If you can defeat these 50,000 elites in one fell swoop, this battle will definitely be won. ”

"Fifty thousand?" Pang Xuan smiled and said, "General Kuang Liang, I have already sent someone to the camp of the Yan army to write a war letter, and invite Na Rong to lead the main force to come tomorrow and fight with me!" ”

"War book?" Kuang Liang was stunned when he heard this.

You must know that such a thing as war books was actually quite popular in the Spring and Autumn Period, after all, at that time, they all paid attention to a gentleman's battle.

But now it's the end of the Warring States Period, who is still playing with you and writing a war book in a dignified manner, how can you win, how to come, where can you use everything about raids and ambushes, that's not a matter at all.

Besides, even if Rong Yan is willing to accept this tactic, where does Pang Xuan get the confidence that he will definitely be able to defeat Rong Yan in this head-to-head confrontation?

Kuang Liang was stunned for a moment, but he still opened his mouth and said to Pang Xuan in front of him: "General Pang Xuan, do you really want to fight to the death with the Yan army tomorrow?" ”

Pang Xuan said with a smile: "That Rong Yan has already sent someone to reply just now, and agreed to my request for a decisive battle. ”

Kuang Liang was dumbfounded.

Pang Xuan looked at Kuang Liang and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, in the battle tomorrow, my Zhao army will be in front, and the Qi army can assist on the flank, just wait for me to break out of the formation of the Yan army, and the Qi army will then follow to cover and kill!" ”

Kuang Liang opened his mouth, and originally wanted to persuade a few more words, but seeing Pang Xuan's confident appearance, he obediently closed his mouth after thinking about it.

Anyway, according to Pang Xuan's statement, it was the Zhao army that took the lead, and Kuang Liang could lead the Qi army to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first, and if the situation was not good, he could run away in time......

After sending Kuang Liang away, Pang Xuan thought about it and left the big tent with a team of guards.

After a short time, Pang Xuan came to a heavily guarded camp.

A young general of Zhao Guo rushed over when he heard the news and saluted Pang Xuan: "Li Mu has seen the general!" ”

Pang Xuan smiled, patted Li Mu's shoulder hard, and said, "How are you prepared?" ”

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Please rest assured, the general is ready!" ”

Pang Xuan said: "Let me see!" ”

Li Mu didn't talk nonsense, and immediately summoned his subordinates to order: "Quickly gather the whole army!" ”

A moment later, in the camp grounds, five hundred cavalry stood in formation, forming a very regular rectangle.

People don't shout, horses don't hiss. Although there were only 500 horsemen, these 500 horsemen were heavily armored and held spears, and each of the war horses under their crotch was covered with armor, giving people a feeling of being as heavy as a mountain.

Pang Xuan stood on the high platform of the school field, looked at the five hundred cavalry, turned his head and nodded to Li Mu, who was at the front of the cavalry formation.

Li Mu responded, then pulled the reins of the horse and gave an order in a loud voice.

"Prepare for the formation!"

Five hundred cavalrymen followed Li Mu's pace and moved slowly.

"Attack!"

The horse's hooves suddenly rose up, stirring up countless smoke and dust, the earth was shaking, and Li Mu led the five hundred cavalry to sweep through the school field like a black torrent, destroying everything in front of him.

Pang Xuan quietly stared at this black torrent like a god descending from the earth, and the blood in his heart seemed to be boiling.

To be honest, before the appearance of this group of cavalry, even a well-informed person like Pang Xuan never thought that the cavalry could still be used like this!

Although this is not the first time Pang Xuan has seen the drill of this army, every time he witnesses the scene of these heavy cavalry charging, Pang Xuan's heart can't help but feel extremely excited.

"It's just five hundred people, this momentum is already so amazing, if it is as the king said in his heart, tens of thousands of heavy horses, once they gather and charge, how amazing this momentum should be!"

Pang Xuan suddenly longed for that kind of scene.

After a while, Li Mu once again led the heavy cavalry back to Pang Xuan, and said in a loud voice: "The drill is over, please show the general!" ”

Pang Xuan retracted his thoughts, and a smile appeared on his face: "Good job, Li Mu." Tomorrow I will lead the army to a decisive battle with the glorious worm, you have a good rest today, and tomorrow is the time for you to show your skills! ”

Pang Xuan's order, Li Mudeng was overjoyed.

As a soldier, Li Mu's biggest dream is, of course, to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Since he was ordered to form this heavy cavalry unit, Li Mu had been in this unit for three full months.

Now the 500 heavy cavalry of this army have cooperated extremely skillfully under the command of Li Mu, and they have long been eager for the moment to be able to fight on the battlefield.

Now, such an opportunity has finally arrived!
