Chapter 378 Night Attack

The heavy rain washed away the dust on the earth. Everything is mixed together and cannot see each other clearly.

It was already late at night in the continuous military tents, but the lights in the general's military tent were still on.

Yang Duanhe leaned on the edge of the sand table and looked at a huge map in front of him, which depicted the topography of Yedi.

Wang Yan is old. After he retired, Yang Duanhe took over the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army. Today, his army is stationed in Hanoi, waiting for orders.

However, Yang Duanhe had been waiting for a long time, but still did not receive the order to send troops.

This battle was actually not easy to fight. After Yedi returned to Zhao, the Zhao army pushed the defense line forward a hundred miles. In addition, it had a complete water system upstream and downstream, which could be said to have all the advantages.

If it is a head-on push, the Qin army will not have the advantage.

"General!"

The tent door opened, and a gust of wind and rain blew. A burly young general came from outside, his armor stained with water.

His name was Li Xin. At a young age, he was valued by the King of Qin and came here to train in the army.

"The general has completed his inspection of the camp and is here to deliver his orders."

After Li Xin finished speaking, Yang Duanhe nodded. However, Li Xin did not leave just yet.

Yang Duanhe turned his head and glanced at Li Xin.

"You have something to say?"

"When I inspected the camp, I saw that supplies and armor were ready. I wonder if there are any troops?"

Yang Duanhe smiled slightly, not impatient with Li Xin.

"That's right. But guess where the soldiers are headed?"

From here to the north is Zhao, to the south is Han, and to the east is Wei. Yang Duanhe wants to test whether this young general is really talented?

"I heard that King Zhao has sent Li Mu to attack Yan. The elite troops of Zhao are all in the north. How can those troops in Handan be the opponent of our Qin army? This is a good opportunity to seize the land of Ye."

Although the attack on Ye is a top secret. However, Li Xin still guessed the Qin army's movements from recent intelligence.

"That's right. Among the Zhao army, except for the army under Li Mu, the rest are insignificant. The army surrounding Handan to protect the royal capital is nothing but wine and rice bags. But even so, the Zhao army is still occupying the advantage. I have fewer soldiers. no advantage."

The section of the Great Wall south of Handan was built a hundred years ago. Now that Zhao Jun has taken control of Ye, it has ample strategic room for maneuver and enough military barriers. Even ordinary generals can defend Handan with the hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding it.

"This is a good opportunity. We can write back to Xianyang and ask the king to send more troops to capture the land of Ye."

Li Xin was young and eager to make contributions. Seeing that a good opportunity had appeared, he refused to let it go.

However, before Yang Duanhe could respond, the expressions of the two people in the tent changed.

"who?"

Li Xin pulled out the sword on his waist and pointed at the door of the tent. I saw a man wearing black light armor walking in, holding a token in his hand.

"Wang Ling!"

Seeing this, Yang Duanhe and Li Xin immediately bowed.

Mo Crow smiled and waved his hand.

"You two generals don't have to be like this! Lord Hanyang has an order, and the heavy armored army will rise up immediately to attack Zhao!"

A magnetic voice sounded in the general's tent with a solemn fighting spirit, and Yang Duanhe responded.

"promise!"

However, Li Xin was confused.

"Even before the big army arrives, with tens of thousands of heavily armored troops, even if we break into the Zhao territory and win, if we don't get backup, we will be surrounded by the Zhao army and we will die."

Mo Ya smiled and cupped his hands slightly.

"I don't know anything about military affairs. But before we come, Lord Han Yang gave us an order: The troops have arrived. The land of Ye is empty at this time. If we attack by surprise, we can win a big victory."

"But what should we do if Zhao Jun comes to help?"

"Lian Po has gone, Pang Nuan has been lost, and Li Mu is still in Yan. Although Zhao's army is large, it is easy to capture him!"

When Mo Ya said this, Li Xin was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know whether Zhao Shuang was really sure or was he talking nonsense?

However, Mo Crow didn't care. After all, he was just delivering orders for Zhao Shuang. As for the rest, I don't care.

"Where is Lord Hanyang?"

“Be where you belong.”

Mo Crow walked away, and Li Xin turned around and looked at Yang Duanhe.

"General, don't advance rashly. Although Han Yangjun has the king's order, he does not have the tiger talisman. According to the order, we can listen or not. When the army arrives, we will send troops again, and we will be 100% sure."

Although Li Xin is eager to make contributions, he is not a reckless person. Although the art of war is strange, it is also based on the possibility of success. But now, Li Xin has no chance of winning.

However, Yang Duanhe waved his hand and had an idea.

"Issue an order from the general and prepare to send troops."

"General..."

Li Xin wanted to persuade him, but Yang Duanhe had already made up his mind.

"Take good care of the three thousand cavalry under your command. This battle will be of great use."

"promise!"

Quiet night, heavy rain has not stopped.

The lights in Zhao Jun's camp were dim. It was already late at night, and the soldiers on guard were looking at Hache with a sense of distress.

A rumble sounded, mixed in with the sound of rain. At first, Zhao Jun's soldiers did not hear it clearly, but when the terrifying figure came into their eyes in the dark night, it was already too late.

Zhao Jun's soldiers opened their eyes wide, trying to send a signal. However, dozens of spears pierced the darkness and penetrated his throat, stopping everything, leaving only a picture of him holding a horn.

Li Xin, holding armor, took the lead and was extremely brave. The moment Da Qin's cavalry stepped into Zhao Jun's camp, the horn sounded to the sky. Although Zhao Jun's soldiers responded, they still seemed powerless.

In the night rain, the rain hit the armor and caused water splashes. Li Xin led only a few cavalry and rushed straight to the center of the camp, killing two centurions and cutting down the Zhao army's flag.

Along the way, no Zhao army could block Li Xin's attack.

When the subsequent cavalry troops rushed in, the Qin army and the Zhao army fought each other, but the war ended quickly.

Li Xin rode on his horse, looked at Zhao Jun's camp, which was gradually becoming quiet, and waved his hand.

"Tell the general that the seven outposts deployed by Zhao Jun at the front have been defeated. The infantry can come to take over. Our army will attack Ye directly and capture a city first."

Although he had doubts in his heart, Li Xin was extremely brave in his tactical command and was not sloppy at all.

In one night, Zhao Jun's eyes and ears were swept away, and then he took a city by surprise to strengthen the Qin army's momentum.

"promise!"

Watching the sentinel who passed the order go away, Li Xin's hot eyes did not change because of Ye Yu's coldness. The rain hit his face, but Li Xin was filled with enthusiasm.

He is still young, but he leads a cavalry army alone. Although he only has three thousand cavalry, he is already far superior to an ordinary infantry army.

To some extent, he must achieve an outstanding performance in this battle, even if it is based on the gambling element.

Military orders were overwhelming. Since the order to attack Zhao had been given, Li Xin had no choice but to obey.

"Zhao Shuang, don't let me down!"

As soon as Li Xin said this, he turned his horse's head and led the crowd away. Only an empty camp was left, witnessing the Qin army's illustrious martial arts under the rain.
