Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 514: Fighting without mercy

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 orders!"

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 State 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 flushed 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.

After happily accepting the compliments from several people, Xiao Linglong said at this time: "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, in the end the army is a new army. In the past, we have been training and have not experienced actual combat with real swords and guns."

"Moreover, 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 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, Imperial Master, the people from Wu Mansion are here."

"Oh?"

Zhao Kang became interested when he heard this: "How many people are here?"

The martial arts warriors who were recruited at the beginning were all employed in the Wu Mansion. The martial arts warriors had very little power in a battlefield where tens of thousands of people were often fighting.

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: "100 people are here. According to Master Cao's letter, they were sent by Mr. Li Yuan, Minister of War. Ten of them are fourth grade and the rest are all fifth grade."

"Master Yu, arrange a place for them. 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 warriors from martial arts also fight on the battlefield?"

Zhao Kang laughed: "Of course it's impossible. Even though 100 people are powerful, if they are thrown into the chaos, horses might 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 deploy artillery positions, while Li Long was giving instructions 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, wearing battle armor, led [-] Qinglong troops and left the city.

This news was immediately captured by Zhou's spies, and they quickly ran back to report.

Zhou's 30-strong army was stationed thirty miles outside Feiyan Pass.

The military camps of the 30-strong army stretched for hundreds of miles. The commander-in-chief Wu Xiong was in charge of the central army. The vanguard general Lin Kuohai was naturally at the front.

I heard that there was a sudden movement in Qian's army, and some cavalry left the city.

Lin Kuohai suddenly laughed: "Cavalry? This country wants to fight with us regardless of life and death, but it actually chooses cavalry? Is the general's brain kicked by a donkey?"

The surrounding generals burst out laughing. Speaking of cavalry, who is our opponent among the four countries?
Someone immediately asked for orders: "General, let my soldiers go to battle! I only need 2 people to defeat Qian Guo's cavalry!"

"Does his country also have cavalry? The general asked me to go, I only need 1 people!"

"I only want eight thousand!"

"I'm five thousand!"

Everyone began 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 countries in the past, the weakest in terms of cavalry was the country of Qian.

Some generals of Zhou State 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 the cavalry of Qian State had left Feiyan Pass and came towards them, they naturally thought that this was because Qian Jun was showing off his 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 merit?

Lin Kuohai interrupted everyone's quarrel, looked at the sand table and said: "Okay, don't argue anymore. It is thirty miles from our army station to Feiyan Pass. Since the local government has sent cavalry, it seems that they want to fight with us here." It’s a battle.”

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 Qianjun is so careless about life and death, then 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 [-] 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 that the enemy soldiers were crowded. The two sides were about 700 meters apart. 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 and rode his horse to a place a hundred meters away from Qian Jun.

This is an old scene where the two sides compete against each other and charge. Come out and shout a few times to boost morale.

However, Zhao Kang felt that this kind of call was a bit stupid. He waved and a soldier saw it and ran over immediately: "Commander."

Zhao Kang took off the bow and arrow on his body, opened the bow and drew the arrow!
