"On the road ahead, King Yan's convoy has been discovered!"
The excited shouts of the black-armored rangers echoed in the foothills of Yiwulu Mountain.
In an instant, all kinds of startling and excited sounds sounded.
Everyone's first reaction when they heard the news was to turn their heads in disbelief and look at the young man who was sitting on a chariot drinking water.
"The King of Yan actually gave up his defense and fled to Liaodong."
"It's so surprising. How could he calculate so accurately and know all this in advance?"
"It's really unbelievable. I can't figure it out in my head."
"Hahaha, what a great achievement from God. If we can capture King Yan, we will definitely be promoted to a noble rank for our military achievements!"
…
The sergeants and soldiers in the army were boiling with excitement, horses neighing and people barking, and the noise kept coming.
Even Li Xin, who was standing in the command car and leaning on Shi, showed an expression of astonishment when he heard the news.
"Did he really guess it?"
Li Xin suddenly looked back and saw that the young man still had a calm face and was reaching out to wipe the water droplets from the corners of his mouth.
Unfazed by favors and humiliations, calm and composed.
This raised Li Xinzhong's evaluation of Zhao Tuo to another level.
You know, he followed Zhao Tuo's suggestion and led the light chariots and iron cavalry to gallop and intercept, just because he wanted to be prepared, just in case.
Deep in Li Xin's heart, he did not particularly believe in the idea of King Yan fleeing to Liaodong.
Who would have expected that the development of the matter was really predicted by this young man, and it was accurate.
At such a young age, this man was able to predict that King Yan would flee to Liaodong based on some clues revealed in the war. His foresight and brilliance were even higher than that of Li Xin.
"Given time, this son's future will be limitless."
Li Xin couldn't help but feel jealous at this moment. But then, he drove the emotion out of his heart.
"If such a young man is well cultivated, he will become the mainstay of our Qin army in the future. I will recommend him to the general and the king so that he can have a good future."
Li Xinxin made up his mind. With his character, he was not a jealous person.
At most, he is just a little bit competitive.
At this moment, Zhao Tuo was drowned by the screams of Black Buttocks.
"My hundred generals, A Tuo, brother Tuo!"
"You...you are so awesome! You actually got the story right about King Yan's escape. My mother, you have such a skill that you can become a fortune teller. You shouldn't have really learned it before. The art of surviving the day, right?"
Black Butt opened his mouth wide, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets in surprise.
Shebama stood aside. Although his expression was not as exaggerated as Black Buttocks, he was also full of surprise. He looked at Zhao Tuo in front of him and could not say anything else except admiration.
"Just trivial thoughts."
Zhao Tuo smiled faintly.
But he was relieved in his heart. He had been worried that with Jicheng being conquered in advance, King Yan would flee to Liaodong as recorded in history. If the other party doesn't run away, wouldn't it be embarrassing this time?
Fortunately, the wheels of history are rolling forward.
Small changes may make the direction of the wheel deviate slightly, but in a short period of time, the larger direction will not be affected.
With Yan Wangxi's character, he wouldn't be him if he didn't run away.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The war drum carried on the carriage was beaten, and all the soldiers immediately stopped discussing.
The knight mounted the horse, and the charioteer sat in the driver's seat in front of the chariot. The left chariot man stood proudly holding a bow and arrow, while the right chariot man tightly held a three-meter long halberd.
"Gentlemen!"
Li Xin stood on the car and shouted loudly: "We were ordered by the general to pursue King Yan and his son, and galloped hundreds of miles to get here. Now that the scouts ahead have discovered King Yan's traces, we have conquered King Yan and destroyed the country." In front of you!"
"I hope you all will work hard to move forward, capture the king and destroy the country, and perform meritorious service and honor him!"
Needless to say, just laying out the naked interests can arouse everyone's emotions.
"Seize the king of Yan, and destroy the country by robbing him!"
"Worry for meritorious service!"
Qin's soldiers howled like wild beasts, and their eyes turned red with excitement.
"Army attack!"
As the general gave the order, the horses neighed and the wheels rolled.
The cavalry lined up to attack first, and the chariots also lined up, one by one, rolling forward along the road.
The Qin army was like a cone shot out, rushing straight towards the northern road.
Zhao Tuo grabbed the bridle rope with both hands, and the strong wind blew in his face, making him feel excited.
After being a horseless infantryman for so long, now I finally have the opportunity to ride a horse at high speed. This feeling is really great.
Four horses galloped, the spoked wheels spun, and the chariots galloped at a rapid pace.
Get on the carriage behind.
Shejian, who is standing on the left, has an expressionless face. He is holding a Qin crossbow in his hand. He is just waiting to see the enemy and when the opportunity is ripe, he will fire the crossbow.
The one on the right is Black Buttocks. He is holding a bronze halberd more than three meters long in his hand. There is also a shield and a long sword in the chariot below. He plays the role of a warrior in the chariot battle.
During the pursuit of chariots, the chariot left holding a crossbow waited for the opportunity to fire arrows.
When the chariot catches up with the enemy or passes by the enemy, Rong You, who is responsible for holding the halberd, swings the long weapon in his hand, whether it is a thorn or a hook, to cause damage to the enemy.
Because the chariot is always traveling at high speed, both shooting and assassination require superb skills.
Of course, the most central role in chariot battles is the charioteer sitting in front of Shi.
He needs to keep the four horses at a unified pace. They can go fast or slow, move or stop. The speed must be completely controlled, and the left and right turns must also maintain a certain angle. Without certain training, they will not be competent at all.
Zhao Tuo is just an excellent charioteer.
He wears metal armor. The armor's sleeves are as long as the wrists, covering all the arms. There are also gauntlets on the hands, a collar on the neck, and greaves on the legs. The protection is very tight, ensuring the safety of the charioteer to the greatest extent.
At this time, as the Qin army was galloping, they had rushed out of the northern foothills of Yiwulu Mountain and entered the North Avenue on the inside of the Great Wall.
There were bursts of shouts of killing.
A group of Qin cavalry who had previously explored the road were fighting with Yan's cavalry.
Hear the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves and the galloping chariots.
The expressions of all the Yan cavalrymen changed greatly. Although some gritted their teeth and tried desperately to stop them, several others turned their horses around in fear and ran away.
The torrent of black armor came like a wave, instantly drowning those knights of the Yan Kingdom who were desperately trying to block it.
The forward cavalry of the Qin army galloped forward, and a row of arrows shot forward like thunder. The fleeing Yan cavalry instantly fell off their horses, and their frightened or injured horses neighed and fled to the south side of the road.
When the fallen Yanjun knight was crushed into pulp by horses' hooves and wheels.
There is no obstacle in front of this Qin army. As long as they pursue all the way, they will see the fleeing King Yan and his son.
"The King of Lu will destroy the country today!"
Li Xin's face turned red, he raised his arms and shouted in the strong wind.
"rush!"
