"Hahaha, have fun! Have fun!"
In the Hangu Pass camp, Ying Zheng, who was sitting in front of the commander's case, looked at the battle report sent back by Zhang Ji. He rarely showed the frivolous side of a young man of this age in front of the generals, stroking his hands and laughing.
Wang Ben, Yang Wengzi, Ren Xiao, Tu Ju and others who were present at the last table of the big tent also showed a bit of joy, followed by some envy.
Li Xin, Qiang Yu and Su Jiao, who joined the Yulin Army together, have already made great achievements, which naturally stimulated the desire of their peers to make contributions.
But the older generals had calm faces.
Three thousand to fifteen thousand?
It is indeed a wonderful record, but it is just wonderful.
But there is no shortage of battles in the Qin army where the few can defeat the many, especially in front of Wang Yan and Yang Duanhe. They have won many such battles.
However, the two also knew that Ying Zheng must be nervous when facing such a battle for the first time, and Zhang Ji's small victory could be regarded as giving Ying Zheng a lot of confidence.
However, when the two of them took over the battle report from Ying Zheng, they keenly discovered something out of the ordinary.
Three thousand Yulin riders?
"Behead seven thousand people? The cavalry can defeat the enemy alone?"
Wang Ye and Yang Duanhe looked at each other with suspicion.
If the battle report had not come from Zhang Ji, they would have questioned the accuracy of the battle report on the spot, but Zhang Ji... no matter his favor or status, there is no need to make false reports of military exploits to please Ying Zheng. It makes no sense. .
Yang Duanhe raised his eyebrows, and when he saw the barely suppressed smile on Yang Wengzi's face at the end of the table, he grabbed him out.
"What are you laughing at? Did you eat bee poop?"
Yang Duanhe slapped Yang Wengzi on the head and didn't care at all that he was beating his son in public.
Ordinary people would regard a child as a treasure when they get older, holding it in the palm of their hand for fear of falling, and holding it in their mouth for fear of melting, but Yang Duanhe is not like this. He once said harshly that if Yang Wengzi became a dandy, he would personally kill the traitor. He would not allow his own son to ruin the reputation of the Yang family if he adopted a child from his brother Cong.
Yang Wengzi did not dare to say anything after being beaten, but looked at Ying Zheng.
Seeing Ying Zheng nodding, Yang Wengzi finally told the reason for his laughter.
"Dad, you don't know that Yulin Cavalry is different from ordinary cavalry."
"Every knight is wearing heavy armor from top to bottom!"
Yang Duanhe slapped Yang Wengzi on the head again with disdain: "Boy, when your father was playing cavalry, you probably didn't even get reincarnated!"
Yang Wengzi felt helpless and explained: "Dad, not only people, but even war horses are wearing heavy armor!"
"War horse armor? Heavy armor and assault riding?"
Wang Ye on the side suddenly realized that there were two hundred heavy armored cavalry among his personal guards. When he was young, he would send out those two hundred heavy armored cavalry every time he led his troops to attack the enemy's formation and encountered resistance.
When faced with any military formation, the heavily armored assault cavalry can almost instantly break through the defenses. It can be said that they are invincible.
However, the heavy load of armored assault cavalry is too heavy for war horses. Each war horse is not a thousand-mile horse, but it is definitely a good horse. The cost is too high, even he cannot afford to raise it.
"Wait a minute, are you saying that all Yulin Cavalry are heavy-armored assault cavalry?"
Seeing Yang Wengzi shaking his head, Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. If someone were to come up with 3,000 heavily armored cavalry, let alone Jin Bi's son, even if he got on, the car would overturn.
"Li Xin and Qiang Yu's two thousand Yu Lin cavalry are heavily armored assault cavalry. After all, there are three horses per person."
With these words, everyone in the big tent almost dropped their jaws in shock.
Cavalry is not that easy to raise.
The feed that war horses eat every day must be carefully selected and even specially grown.
Then there are the grooms and veterinarians who take care of the war horses. They also have to consider the normal wear and tear of the war horses. If the horse loses its front hoof, it will suddenly lose its leg.
As a result, Zhang Ji raised two thousand heavy-armored cavalry by himself, and what the hell, he had three horses per person. This means that Zhang Ji raised at least six thousand horses!
Yang Duanhe's expression was gloomy. He knew that Zhang Ji was rich. Although the six thousand horses made him a little shocked, his focus was not on this, but on the fact that his son was laughing just now. He was laughing at him. Don’t you know how rich the Habayashi Army is?
Wang Yan took a deep breath. If the Yulin Army hadn't been Ying Zheng's Imperial Guard, he would have had the urge to go out to the Yulin Army camp in Shangyuan and snatch the remaining horses and bring them back. .
"This guy spent so much money to train such a heavy armored assault cavalry. No wonder he can defeat the Wei army." The boy knows how to do business, but still has money?
"Actually, the general didn't spend much money."
Wang Ben, who had always been taciturn, said: "The Li family in Longxi runs a war horse business, and the Qiang family also raises many fine horses. From war horses to grooms, veterinarians, and even fodder, the general didn't pay a single coin."
Ying Zheng looked at the astonished faces of everyone and laughed again while stroking his hands.
The war horse business of the Li family in Longxi was so huge that the military of the Qin State purchased war horses from the Li family in Longxi. As for the Qiang Yu clan, they were originally given the surname Qiang after the Qiang people surrendered. They are naturally good at raising war horses. They are the family with the second largest horse farm in Qin State after the Li family in Longxi.
Knowing that it was to provide war horses for his young master, Zhang Ji directly sent more than 10,000 good horses, feed, grooms, and veterinarians. Except for the armors on the humans and horses that Zhang Ji asked the Mohists to forge, Zhang Ji didn't pay at all. A child.
No money was spent, but things were done extremely well. How could he not like such a minister?
"That's not all. Sir, he also surrendered the Wei army's left vanguard general Jin Yao, along with the remaining 8,000 Wei troops. This was a major blow to the Wei army."
Ying Zheng's focus was not just on the victory of one enemy against five. Although the two thousand heavily armored assault cavalry in the Yulin Cavalry were kept secret from the outside world, and the cavalry were wearing armor and showing the appearance of iron cavalry when marching, he, the King of Qin, knew everything about it.
Two thousand heavily armored cavalry attacked the Wei army. Such a performance was completely normal. What he cared about was how ugly Wei Wuji's face looked at this moment.
From then on, Wei Wuji's reputation as "intolerable" could never be removed.
And there is a reason why he hates Wei Wuji so much.
Originally, after the Battle of Changping, King Zhaoxiang, at Lu Buwei's suggestion, had thought of taking him and his mother back.
Later, when they attacked HD City, when Zhao proposed peace, Qin's envoys proposed that he and his mother be returned to Qin. However, as Lord Xinling stole the talisman to save Zhao, he defeated Qin's army. , his return journey with his mother was naturally cut off.
Not only that, after the Zhao people were freed from the crisis of national subjugation, they attacked the mother and son, repeatedly intimidated them, and even almost killed them several times.
If it weren't for the former Prince Zhao Jia and Prince Yan who took good care of him and sent several generals to protect him and provide him with food and rice from time to time, he and his mother might have died that year.
Later, he finally returned to Qin and regained his father's love.
It's just that his father worked hard to govern, but because he was too diligent, he accidentally contracted the disease when he was exhausted and weak. The news of the battle outside the river directly aggravated his serious illness, and he has been sick ever since.
The anger of the defeat and the worry about Qin made his father increasingly weak, and finally died a few months later.
It can be said that his father died of illness, and he needed to lose the father's love that he finally got when ordinary people enjoyed father's love, to shoulder the weight of a country, and he was inseparable from Wei Wuji!
With old and new grudges, how could Ying Zheng not resent Wei Wuji?
Of course, Ying Zheng knows that he is no longer the proton "A Zheng" in HD City in the past, but the king of Qin!
But today's Wei Wuji is no longer the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the six kingdoms, Lord Xinling. He is just the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, Wei Wuji, who is jealous of Wei Wangyu and whose reputation is declining day by day!
It is true that he still cannot forget those hatreds, but he will not be blinded by hatred.
Ying Zheng looked at the generals in the tent, stood up and said: "Generals, sir, I am a scholar and it is my first time to lead an army. However, with three thousand Yulin cavalry, I severely damaged the Wei army and surrendered the Wei army's deputy generals. As a result, the Wei army became disorganized and disorganized. How about I transfer them back to Hangu Pass to face the enemy?"
I have to say that Ying Zheng's words were a bit damaging, as if he was saying "Can you do it?"
Although Wang Ye has a good impression of Zhang Ji, a young man who has inherited Bai Qi's inheritance, and Yang Duanhe is also grateful to Zhang Ji for taking his son under his command, the two veterans will not allow themselves to be underestimated.
"No need!"
Wang Ye shouted and flatly rejected Ying Zheng's "good intention".
He knew that Ying Zheng was provoking the generals, but Ying Zheng was doing the right thing!
It’s time for the Qin army to take action!
"Yang Duanhe!" Wang Ye pointed at the map and punched it hard, "Jiaocheng!"
