"I heard... King Zhao has a golden mountain, and he will continuously pull gold from the golden mountain back to Zhao Kingdom every day." Lu Buwei hesitated.
He didn't believe this kind of thing at first, because it was nonsense, but more and more people spread the news, and it even spread from Zhao to Qin, and even Yongrui said so after he came back.
Lu Buwei had to believe it.
If there wasn't a golden mountain, how could we explain where Zhao's money came from?
Could it have been brought by the strong wind?
"Does the military advisor also believe this rumor?" Wang Hao laughed.
"I didn't believe it before, but then I saw the Midas touch from an alchemist, and then I realized how big the world is and how little I know." Lu Buwei sighed.
"Turn stone into gold? If there is such a skill, why don't the military advisors bring it back to Qin and present it to the king? If Qin has this skill, why should we be afraid of Zhao?" Wang Hao's eyes lit up, and the armor on his body clanked.
"That alchemist has ambitions in all directions and is unwilling to become an official." Lu Buwei shook his head.
"What a pity." Wang Hao sighed.
While the two were talking, a group of cavalry rushed towards them from Hu City. The Qin army quickly formed a formation to prepare to meet the enemy, but the enemy stopped a mile away.
"It's Le Yi." Lu Buwei said in a deep voice, his face not very pretty.
"Qin Jun seems to be looking at us. Would you like to go over and say hello?" Gongsun Long said with a smile.
No one answered…
The corner of Gongsun Long's mouth twitched twice, a little embarrassed, "It's okay to give it to Qin Jun, we can't just go through it like this."
Le Yi and Xunzi didn't speak. Li Si's eyes lit up and he was a little eager to try.
Gongsun Long and Li Si looked at each other, smiled slyly, and jointly mobilized their spiritual power to push the airflow, picking up the dust on the ground and blowing it towards the Qin army.
Xunzi glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and then injected his spiritual power.
By the time Lu Buwei noticed something was wrong, it was already too late.
There has been no rainfall for more than half a month around Sanchuan. The sediment washed down by the Yellow River dries and adheres to the surface of the land, forming tiny grains of fine sand. You can carry it with you when you walk. When the wind blows, it will stir up yellow clouds all over the sky.
The sand fell on the Qin army.
Just as Lu Buwei was about to counterattack, Xunzi, Gongsun Long, and Li Si directly increased their output, forcing his mental power back.
"You dare to fight with us." Gongsun Long raised his head, looking like a victorious rooster.
"I'm fucked, fuck...puff, puff, cough, cough, cough..." Before Lu Buwei could finish his swear words, a large amount of dust was poured into his mouth, filling it up in an instant, and even a large mouthful was sucked into his throat.
"Let's go." Wang Hao vomited several times in succession, but he still felt that he had not vomited completely. He walked towards the camp with a gloomy face. The Qin army behind him was also disgraced and had no morale.
"They left." Gongsun Long pointed at the back of Qin Jun and said loudly.
Zhao Jun turned in a direction and originally planned to go around. Since Qin Jun left, he could just follow behind.
When Qin Jun saw Zhao Jun following behind, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Qin Jun quickened his pace, and Zhao Jun also quickened his pace.
The Zhao army did not attack and followed the Qin army not far from the camp. They stopped advancing when they saw more Qin troops beginning to gather.
However, the Zhao army did not retreat. Instead, they wandered back and forth not far from the Qin army's camp, pointing and arrogant to the extreme.
Le Yi even ordered the Qin army to dismount and unsaddle, sit on the ground and chatter, luring the Qin army to attack. The Qin army resisted the urge and refused to take the initiative no matter how tempted the Zhao army was.
"This Wang Hao is somewhat tolerant," Le Cheng said.
"Wang Hao can hold back, but that doesn't mean that other generals can hold back, and generals can hold back, but that doesn't mean that the soldiers have no resentment. In the next few days, they kept sending troops to harass the Qin army, and they didn't let it go at night. They couldn't let the Qin army be stable anymore.
Send some people to the front of the formation to scold, starting with Wang Hao. After Wang Hao scolded Bai Qi, Bai Qi finished scolding the King of Qin. After the King of Qin scolded the old King Qin, don’t scold the old King Qin. Don’t repeat the scolding." Le Yi clapped his hands and said,
Stand up from the ground.
"Do you really want to do this?" Li Si hesitated.
"This is a battlefield. As long as you can win, you will do whatever it takes, let alone just a few curse words." Le Yi glanced at Li Si.
"I've learned a lesson." Li Si bowed and said.
"In addition, arrange for the soldiers to investigate where there are horse traps nearby." Le Yi continued. He had just discovered that there were more than one horse traps outside the Qin army's camp.
"I will personally lead people to investigate." Le Cheng nodded solemnly.
"Master, is there any way to make some rain? The ground here is too dry. Once the cavalry starts running, the sky will be filled with dust and sand, which will seriously affect the cavalry's operations." Le Yi looked at Xunzi.
Muddy roads are not good for cavalry, and too dry roads are not good for cavalry.
"I just tried it. There is too little water vapor in the air here. It can only rain a little at most." Xunzi said.
In the past, counselors had huge spiritual power but did not know how to use it. Later, Li Si came up with fantastic ideas and used spiritual power to change the celestial phenomena and even achieve artificial rainfall.
But Li Si only knew that the rain came from the clouds, and did not know why there was rain in the clouds.
He didn't know why some clouds made it rain and some clouds didn't.
Zhao Kuo told him that after water vapor rises to a certain height, it will liquefy into small water droplets when exposed to cold. Countless small water droplets gather together and become clouds. The water droplets collide with each other in the clouds and become large water droplets. When the water droplets become larger,
When the air can no longer hold it, it will fall from the clouds and form rain.
Li Si understood at once that if he wanted it to rain heavily, he would pull several clouds together; if he wanted it to rain lightly, he would compress a cloud as hard as he could.
After that, everyone worked together and quickly pushed this technology to maturity.
However, if you want to achieve artificial rainfall, your mental power must at least reach a level that can give birth to talent, and it can only rain on a small scale, and changing the celestial phenomena on a large scale cannot be done by human beings.
"It doesn't need heavy rain, as long as it can wash away the dust on the surface," Le Yi said.
"Let's do our best." Xunzi nodded.
A few days later, it started to rain lightly.
Wang Hao raised his head and looked at the sky, feeling a little strange.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then Zhao Jun's insults came from outside, which made him feel a little irritable.
At first Zhao Jun scolded himself, but he endured it.
Then Zhao Jun scolded Bai Qi. He was very angry but endured it.
Now Zhao Jun began to scold the King of Qin. He couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't bear it anymore. If he couldn't bear it any longer, someone should impeach him.
Even though he knew that it was unwise to send troops to attack at this time, Wang Hao still sent a legion to attack Zhao Jun. In the end, only 3,000 of the 6,000 men came back, and even the legion commander died in the battle.
Then the Zhao army continued to send cavalry back and forth outside the Qin army's camp, and made provocations from time to time. Some grumpy generals could not bear the insult and led their troops to kill them. Most of them did not come back alive.
The momentum of the Qin army declined visibly to the naked eye.
Wang Hao knew very well that when the Qin army's momentum dropped to a low point, it would be time for the Zhao army to launch a general offensive.
From the beginning, the Qin army was led by the Zhao army.
It was not because he was incompetent, but because of the information gap caused by the slow transmission of intelligence, as well as the strength gap between the Qin army and Zhao army.
"We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, we don't have to fight this battle, and our Qin army will lose." Inside the camp, Wang Hao looked around and finally said sternly.
"Give me the order to cook at Mao tomorrow. All the soldiers will have a good meal and then attack." Wang Lu planned to take the initiative to attack.
He thought very clearly and understood that he was not good at defense, and it could be seen from this period of time. Blindly defending is to use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths. How can you be undefeated?
Only by attacking, only by fearlessly attacking, can you bring out your full strength.
Victory and defeat are common things for a military strategist. He can accept defeat, but he will never accept defeat so cowardly that he can't even struggle.
"Since you are also good at attacking, let's have a good fight. This time, I won't back down." Wang Hao's eyes passed through the tent and fell on Le Yi.
Zhao Feiqi finally arrived at Hucheng from Handan and did not miss the battle.
"Finally arrived." Le Yi personally went outside the city to greet Zhao Feiqi.
"General, you've been waiting for a long time." Yan Ju turned over and dismounted, clasping his fists and saying.
"Let's go into the city. Now that you're here, it's time to launch a general attack." Le Yi patted Yan Ju on the shoulder.
"It all depends on the general's dispatch." Yan Ju said.
"Do you want to rest for two days?" Le Yi asked.
"No need, brothers can't wait for a long time." Yan Ju said.
"Then don't wait any longer. We will launch a general attack tomorrow. Let us know, everyone will have meat tonight. Didn't the king send a batch of goose eggs? One for each person tomorrow morning. Also, the horses must be fed."
Le Yi said.
Neither the Zhao army nor the Qin army had any intention of issuing a gauntlet to each other. The era of issuing a gauntlet has long passed. What matters now is a surprise and an unprepared attack.
But the two of them chose to fight on the same day.
The next day, there was some haze in the originally clear sky, and dark clouds continued to gather in the distance and became thicker and thicker.
There was a smile on Wang Lu's face, rain it down, rain it down hard, the more it rains, the harder it is for Zhao Jun's cavalry to run.
But God didn't seem to hear Wang Lu's prayer, or perhaps the Zhao army was more numerous than the Qin army and the prayer was louder.
The dark clouds became thicker and thicker, covering less than half of the sky, but not a drop of rain fell.
The air is a bit heavy, making people unable to breathe.
"General, we found that the Qin army is gathering and coming towards our army." The scout rushed into the camp and reported on the horse.
"It seems that the Qin army and this general want to go together. In that case, let's play the drums." Le Yi ordered and walked out with the general.
A famous soldier calmly checked his weapons, backpacks, horses, and supplies, walked out of the camp, and headed toward his respective legions, then formed a long queue and rushed to the battlefield.
Zhao Jun is in the front, and the auxiliary troops are in the back.
Soon, Zhao Jun and Qin Jun met each other, and the distance shortened to about a thousand meters. Both sides stopped in unison and looked at each other calmly.
The world seemed to freeze at this moment.
There were no pre-battle greetings, no sitting down to drink tea, and no one made any heroic remarks.
After a brief silence, both sides beat the war drums at the same time, and the war clouds in the sky instantly rioted, madly moving towards the other side to invade.
The Zhao army and the Qin army launched attacks at the same time. The difference was that the Zhao army had cavalry on both wings, while the Qin army had cavalry on one wing and chariots on the other.
The rapid sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and Yan Xiong led his cavalry to kill the Qin army. Although most of them were auxiliaries of the Xiongnu or Qu Yan, after having stirrups and saddles, the riding skills of these Hu people were no worse than those of the Zhao army.
They know that the Xiongnu and Quyan are gone, and they don't want to be slaves for the rest of their lives. This is the closest they are to changing their destiny.
As long as they defeat the Qin army and kill a human head, they can get rid of their status as slaves, obtain houses and land, marry wives, and reproduce their offspring.
If you can kill two heads, you can even get a first-level title.
The more heads they kill, the more benefits they can gain.
They believed in the State of Zhao. Although the State of Zhao defeated them and captured them, it did not deceive them. A few of them also got rid of their status as slaves.
On the battlefield, there was no fear in the eyes of these barbarians, but excitement and even desire. In their eyes, the Qin army was not only their enemy, but also their key to freedom.
"What age are you still using chariots?" Yan Xiong looked at the chariots running towards him, curled his lips, and directly led the Zhao army to bypass the chariots and insert them towards the flank of the Qin army.
The Qin Army's chariot corps could only watch as the Zhao Army ran past them, but they were helpless. They were far less agile than the cavalry.
"Kill!" Yanxiong shouted, holding the handle of the halberd with both hands, his body jumped up, and the halberd, which was more than one foot long, hit directly towards the center of the Qin army.
When the Zhao army behind them saw Yan Xiong being so brave, their morale immediately increased, especially the Hu people's auxiliary army. They innately worshiped men with strong military power, let alone Yan Xiong, who was so powerful.
Moreover, Yanxiong's tall and thick appearance happened to be at the point of their heart's desire.
Indestructible!
Break the military formation!
A layer of fiery red wind passed over the Qin army, blessing all the Qin troops with Wang Lu's talent effect and breaking the army formation.
Wang Lu did not develop his own exclusive battle formation. Qin State did not have many battle formations. He could not use Bai Qi's Blood Evil Formation, so he chose Sima Cuo's Army-breaking Formation.
Yanyue Formation!
At the same time, Le Cheng, Xun Zi and others held up the Moon Formation to support Zhao Jun.
This is the battle formation left by Zhao She. Zhao Kuo has no secrets. As long as the contribution reaches a certain level, all generals of Zhao State can learn from it.
The war clouds in the sky turned into a huge crescent moon, and the moonlight shone down, bathing all the Zhao soldiers in a golden glow.
The Yanyue Formation is an almost all-round blessing army. Speed, momentum, attack power, including internal energy, can all be improved to varying degrees.
Although the improvement is not as much as those of battle formations that improve a single attribute, it is better in all aspects, especially in this kind of head-to-head confrontation, and the effect is excellent.
Chaos!
Le Yi did not hesitate to use the chaos formation on the Qin army. The biggest advantage of his formation was that it could be used together with other formations.
Because the two sides have different goals.
The target of most battle formations is one's own side, while the target of chaotic formations is the enemy.
In the sky, there is some gray dust on the surface of the Qin army's war clouds, which is like tarsal maggots clinging to the war clouds and cannot be shaken off no matter how hard they are shaken off.
The Qin army's formation suddenly experienced some chaos, and even the battle formation shook. With the help of Lu Buwei, Wang Hao stabilized the battle formation.
"boom!"
Just when there was a loophole in the Qin army's defense, the Yanxiong's halberd suddenly fell into the Qin army. All the Qin soldiers who touched it instantly turned to ashes, and a deep pit was blasted out of the ground.
"Follow me to kill!" Yanxiong took the lead and rushed into the Qin army's formation. With a sweep of his halberd, he cleared an open space. The Zhao army followed closely, filling the gap, and then continued to fight in all directions to expand their own area.
