Hearing Zhao Kang's joking words, Brother Diao did not show his honest smile like before.
The copper bell-like eyes were full of fierce light: "The last general takes command!"
It was a pity for the soldiers who had not received the military orders. This was the first battle since the establishment of the new army of the Qian Kingdom. If they could participate and win, the military merit would be real!
But fortunately, as Zhao Kang said, after practicing for so long, it’s time to pull out the mule or the horse today.
The Zhou Dynasty's army is there outside the Pass, and there will always be time to take action.
Everyone left and the hall became empty again.
Zhao Kang turned around and faced four pairs of pupils with twinkling little stars.
His Highness the Prince's face turned red with excitement, "You are so handsome, Old Zhao! Damn, I didn't expect that giving orders is such a handsome thing. No wonder you are called Marshal! I... I will be like you in the future!"
Wu Qingluan was even more excited: "Master! You are so amazing!"
Her Majesty the Empress' pretty face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and Qin Yufeng was even more proud.
Xiao Linglong happily accepted the compliments from several people. At this time, Xiao Linglong said, "We still have to find a way to solve the problem quickly, otherwise I'm afraid that Jing Guo will..."
Zhao Kang nodded, "I have also considered this matter, but although we are indeed stronger now, after all, the army is a new army. In the past, we have been training and have not experienced actual combat with real swords and guns."
"Furthermore, this is the first time we have used artillery combined with infantry and cavalry to fight against the enemy. An army that has not experienced blood and fire will always be useless!"
Zhao Kang couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Zhou Guo is a very good whetstone!"
After all, Xiao Linglong had been on the battlefield before, and she immediately understood that Zhao Kang planned to use Zhou Guolai to support the war with war, so that Qian Guo's new army could truly form combat effectiveness.
He said softly, "That's fine."
Yu Guanglong walked in from outside the door
"Shuai Zhao, Nangong Long has something to report."
"Let him in."
Nangong Long, who was carrying a heavy sword, walked in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the National Preceptor, the people from the Wu Mansion are here."
"oh?"
Zhao Kang was interested when he heard this, "How many people are here?"
The Jianghu warriors who were recruited at the beginning were all employed in the Wu Mansion. The Jianghu warriors had very little power in a battlefield where tens of thousands of people were fighting at every turn.
Unless it is a non-human existence like the third and second grade.
But if it is used properly, it will be different.
Nangong Long replied, "A hundred people have come. According to Master Cao's letter, they were sent by Mr. Li Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War. Ten of them are fourth grade and the rest are all fifth grade."
"Master Yu, arrange a place for them, and Nangonglong and the others will be left to you. Tell them that there will be opportunities for them to make contributions," Zhao Kang instructed.
Nangong Long nodded hurriedly.
Qin Yufeng was a little curious, "Can martial arts warriors also fight on the battlefield?"
Zhao Kang laughed, "Of course you can't. Even though a hundred people are powerful, if they are thrown into the chaos, the horses may trample them to death. Good steel must be used on the blade."
After speaking, Zhao Kang stopped chatting with everyone, but walked out of the lobby and came to the school ground.
Li Goudan had already chosen a location on the exploration map to place artillery positions, while Li Long was giving lectures to his subordinates.
Brother Diao also mobilized before the war.
After watching the three of them finish their work, Zhao Kang called them to start planning tomorrow's battle strategy.
The next day.
The city of Feiyan Pass was wide open, and Li Long led the army in battle armor.
With 30,000 Qinglong troops leaving the city.
This news was immediately captured by Zhou's spies, who quickly ran back to report it.
Zhou's 300,000-strong army was stationed thirty miles outside Feiyan Pass.
The military camps of 300,000 troops stretched for hundreds of miles. The commander-in-chief Wu Xiong was in charge of the central army. The leader was naturally the vanguard general Lin Kuohai.
I heard that there was a sudden movement in Qian's army, and some cavalry left the city.
Lin Kuohai suddenly laughed, "Cavalry? This Qianguo wants to fight with us regardless of life and death, but he actually chooses cavalry? Is the general's brain kicked by a donkey?"
The surrounding generals burst into laughter. Speaking of cavalry, who is our opponent among the four countries?
Immediately, someone asked for orders: "General, let my troops go to battle! I only need 20,000 people to defeat the cavalry of Qian Kingdom!"
"Does his country also have cavalry? The general asked me to go, I only need 10,000 people!"
"I only want eight thousand!"
"I have five thousand!"
Everyone started to fight over each other, and those who didn't know better thought they were buying vegetables at the vegetable market. If they continued with their enthusiasm, it seemed as if they could defeat Qian Guo's entire cavalry alone.
But it’s understandable. Who doesn’t know that among the four kingdoms in the past, the weakest in terms of cavalry was the Kingdom of Qian.
Some Zhou generals even said that the cavalrymen of Qian State were not worthy of being called cavalry at all.
Even worse than Jingguo!
Now that they heard that Qian's cavalry had left Feiyan Pass and was heading towards them, they naturally thought that this was because Qian's army was showing off its wits.
With such a soft persimmon coming to your door, wouldn't it be nice to defeat this group of cadres and gain some military exploits?
Lin Kuohai interrupted everyone's quarrel, looked at the sand table and said, "Okay, don't fight anymore, just follow our army."
The station is thirty miles away from Feiyan Pass. Since the local government has sent out cavalry, it seems that they want to fight us here."
The terrain of Youzhou is not conducive to large-scale cavalry. There are many mountains outside the pass, and there is only about a mile between the two armies suitable for cavalry to charge into formation, and there is room for detours.
After analyzing, Lin Kuohai sneered, "Since the army is so reckless, let's not let this military exploit go to waste, Guan Yue!"
"The last general is here!" General Guan said excitedly, but he didn't expect that this advantage would actually fall on him.
The surrounding generals looked envious and jealous, how could they let this grandson get all the benefits?
Lin Kuohai laughed and said, "I order you to lead 20,000 cavalry to fight against the Qian army! This battle is the first battle! We must defeat the enemy's morale!"
Guan Yue laughed loudly, "Don't worry, General, I will let the people of Qian country know what cruelty is!"
Because it was the first battle, although Lin Kuohai didn't think Qian Guo could make any splash, the generals still arrived with Guan Yue.
Naturally, Zhao Kang also came. From a distance, he saw a large number of enemy soldiers. The distance between the two sides was about 700 meters. This distance was very suitable for a cavalry charge.
Zhao Kang glanced at the twenty cannons lined up on the surrounding high ground and grinned.
And someone in the distance was already shouting, "You dare to join the army, how dare you go out of the city to fight our army without knowing your life or death!"
The person who spoke seemed to be afraid that Qian Jun wouldn't hear him, so he rode his horse to a place a hundred meters away from Qian Jun.
This is an old scene where the two sides fight against each other. They come out and shout a few times to boost their morale.
However, Zhao Kang felt that calling the formation was a bit stupid. He waved and a soldier saw him and immediately ran over, "Commander."
Zhao Kang took off the bow and arrow on his body, opened the bow and drew the arrow!
