Le Cheng and Jia Yan quickly selected 500 uninjured cavalry and handed them over to Li Si.
The war horse shuttled on the forest path. Li Si held the reins tightly and tightened his legs on the horse's belly.
Although he is a scholar, Li Si is not inferior to the six arts of a gentleman.
Well, the Six Arts of the Gentleman does not involve riding a horse, but driving a chariot.
However, with the gradual rise of cavalry, the importance of equestrian skills has also become higher and higher, and there has been a tendency to keep pace with driving chariots.
When Li Si was the county magistrate in Hetao, he made great use of the abundant horse resources in Hetao to learn equestrian skills. Although it was not as good as those top cavalry, it was more than enough compared to most people, otherwise it would not have been possible to fight with Jia Yan.
"Hurry up, we must arrive before the Qin envoy arrives at Yique." Li Si said anxiously.
"Can you do it?" Bao Luan looked at Li Si worriedly.
The others were originally cavalry, so there was nothing to worry about. They would definitely be able to keep up.
But Li Si was a civil servant, and he was only in his twenties, so he was so highly regarded by the Zhao State. He was probably a nobleman of the Zhao State. He had been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, and had not suffered much hardship.
Being able to ride a horse is very good, but Bao Luan has some doubts about how superb his riding skills are.
As for the burning knife, the prisoner has no human rights. Zhao Jun bandaged him and applied medicine to him, which was very humanitarian. If he died on the way, it could only be a bad fate.
But with his strength, it's not that easy to die.
"A man can't say no." Li Si glanced at Bao Luan. He suspected that Bao Luan said this deliberately to provoke him so that he would not be able to refuse.
"Okay! I, Bao Luan, admit that you are a real man." Bao Luan praised, increasing the speed to another level.
The blast formation was also activated to the extreme.
In the blink of an eye, five hundred cavalrymen rushed across the Luoshui Bridge like a strong wind.
Now Li Si was sure that Luan's violence just now was definitely intentional.
"This guy!"
"Why is the rain getting heavier and heavier?" Bao Luan raised his head, looked at the sky with dissatisfaction, and cursed, "What a thief."
"No matter how big the attack is, not only will we be affected, but the Qin army will also be affected," Li Si said.
The road is slippery and the rain curtains obscure their view. Their speed will indeed be reduced a lot, but the speed of the Qin army's pursuit will also be reduced because of this, which is fair.
The rainy night came earlier than usual, and Zhao Jun was still on his way with his head down, and no one complained.
Until night completely enveloped the land, Zhao Jun finally arrived at Yique Pass.
"It seems that Yique was really captured by the Qin army." Bao Luan's face darkened.
Although it was raining heavily and the sky was pitch black, he could still tell at a glance that the flag hanging on the city was the Qin flag and not the Korean flag.
Because the Korean flag is green and the Qin flag is black, as long as it is not completely invisible, even if there is a little light, you can distinguish them.
"Hey, now it just depends on luck." Li Si sighed.
The terrain of Yique is extremely dangerous, with high mountains on both sides and the Yishui River in the middle. It is like a natural gate. It was here that Bai Qi destroyed the 240,000 troops of Han and Wei, breaking the backbone of the two countries.
After the Battle of Changping, the three Jin Dynasties united and invaded Qin Guanzhong, forcing Qin to cede territory and seek peace.
The whole of Sanchuan, including Yique, returned to the embrace of South Korea.
It is a pity that in the hands of Qin, Yique was an unbreakable great pass in the world. In the hands of South Korea, it was as if it had been downgraded and could be conquered at will.
No, Yique returned to the embrace of Qin again, and just like the first battle of Yique, he helped the Qin army to encircle the Han and Wei coalition forces, this time also adding Zhao.
If Yique cannot be deceived, it will be almost impossible to capture it by force.
"You and General Baoluan go forward and use the method I gave you. As long as you help us capture Yique, I will not only protect your life, but I can also find you a position in Zhao State, and even if you want to return
I can agree to the Qin State." Li Si said to Shaodao.
Compared with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Three Jin Dynasties, a burning knife is completely insignificant.
"Okay, I will do what the general said, but I can't guarantee whether it will work or not." Shaodao nodded.
In fact, the task Li Si gave him was not difficult to complete. He just asked him to step forward and cooperate with Bao Luan to talk to General Yique and ask General Yique to open the city gate.
Bao Luan speaks with a Qin Guanzhong accent, while Shaodao speaks with an authentic Bashu accent and Qin dialect.
In the whole world, only Qin has this accent.
This kind of subconscious thing can bring people closer to each other and make people put down their vigilance.
"Who is under the city?" At this time, a shout came from the city in the darkness.
The Qin army did not light torches, not because of the rain, but because lighting torches in the dark sky would only expose their position. If an enemy army appeared under the city, they could be killed with just one arrow.
"Where is the general guarding the city? Let him come out to see me." Bao Luan walked to the bottom of the city and said to the Qin army extremely arrogantly.
"Our general has rested." When Qin Jun heard that it was a Guanzhong accent, his vigilance was immediately lowered. He must be one of his own people under the city.
As for the arrogant attitude, it is normal. The most arrogant people in Qin are the Guanzhong people. In their view, Qin's achievements today are due to their Guanzhong people.
Without the people of Guanzhong, Qin would not be what it is today.
Even in order to distinguish themselves from the Qin people in other areas, these Guanzhong people often call themselves Lao Qin people to show that they are nobler than other areas.
However, the people in Guanzhong do have the ability to be arrogant. It is completely different from the situation in other areas where at most one or two people in a village have low-level titles. The vast majority of people in Guanzhong have titles, and many even have third-level titles or above.
Moreover, the Guanzhong Army is the most capable army in the Qin State. The Iron Eagle Ruins, the Black Armored Army, and the King of Qin's personal guards were all selected from the Guanzhong Army.
The military is a place where strength is most important. As long as you have strength, it's normal to be a little arrogant.
Therefore, the defenders of Yique did not feel anything was wrong.
"I haven't rested yet, and he dares to rest? I'll give him a quarter of an hour. If he doesn't show up, just wait to be punished." Bao Luan thrust the big knife into the ground, his voice full of anger.
"We'll report it right now. Do you dare to ask the general's name?" the defender said quickly.
"My name is Zhang Bo." Luan said with a blushing face, as if he was really called that name.
The Qin army was mainly divided into two parts. One part was the Guanzhong army, including the troops recruited from Longxi, Shangjun and other places, and the other part was the Bashu army.
The defenders of Yique were obviously under Bai Qi's command. It was impossible for him to know the Bashu Army led by Zhang Ruo very well, let alone remember the name and appearance of each general, so he was not afraid of being exposed.
"Zhang Bo?" After hearing the report, Yique Guard General Wei Feng let go of the beautiful Korean girl offered by his men and said with some doubts.
However, he didn't care. The Qin army had two to three hundred thousand soldiers. There were forty or fifty army commanders alone, and there were hundreds of thousand-man generals. How could he know them all?
Besides, calling him a general doesn't mean he's a general. Maybe it's just a compliment from his subordinates, but he's actually just a centurion.
