After three days of rest, the 10,000 cavalry led by Xin Sheng also rushed to the vanguard army. Li Ji and others breathed a sigh of relief.
They all know that at this moment, they are truly safe.
Seeing the morale of the vanguard army and the rare tragic aura on their bodies, Xin Sheng nodded. After this battle, the vanguard army had obviously grown a lot.
After Li Ji's report, Xin Sheng nodded, and then accepted the vanguard army, and Li Ji continued to serve as General Su.
Most of the living generals with more than five hundred masters have been promoted. Today, Zhao Shu has become two to five hundred masters, which is also the commander of thousands.
He has a thousand cavalry and a hundred soldiers under his command. After several consecutive battles, Zhao Shu has become a rising star in this army.
Especially Xin Sheng knew that the people standing behind Zhao Shu were Shaofu Zhang Han and Tingwei Li Si. He believed that Zhao Shu's future would be infinitely bright.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Shu is very capable. Whether it is fighting in the battle formation or his ability to capture fighter planes on the battlefield, it is surprising.
A fourteen-year-old boy is now a captain of thousands. Although he still has the title of duke, with Zhao Shu's current promotion speed, when the destruction of Zhao is over, he will be the most likely to be a doctor.
In the shogunate, Xin Sheng looked at the generals like a torch: "Now Yan Ju's strange soldiers have been killed by our army. There are only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled in Xindu City."
"What do you think we should do?"
As military generals, especially the military generals of the Qin Army in this era, none of them were law-abiding. They were all ambitious and wanted to make achievements on the battlefield and become a prince for generations.
Xin Sheng is naturally the same.
Especially this time to destroy Zhao, the King of Qin used most of the young and strong factions, whether it was Wang Bi, Yang Duanhe, Li Xin, or even Zhang Han and others, there was competition between them.
As for Meng Tian, no one would compare him, because now Meng Tian is already the fake general of Da Qin, on the same level as Wang Jian.
"General, there are only old, weak, sick and disabled people in Xindu now. If we attack Xindu..." Li Ji's eyes were full of heat, but he also knew that it would be difficult to do so.
However, the desire for war made him excited: "The news that Zhao's army was wiped out has not spread. We can pretend to be the remnants of Zhao's army. Once we deceive the city gates, we will seize the entire Xindu."
Xin Sheng was silent for a long time, and everyone in the shogunate was silent. Although Li Ji's words were feasible, they were very risky.
"General, the last general believes that the Handan garrison is an honest man. He will definitely see how important Xindu is to Zhao."
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Shu stood up and said, "In this case, Zhao's government and everyone know clearly that without Wu'an as a mutual horn, the trust cannot be maintained at all."
"The general believes that Handan will most likely send reinforcements to Xindu. However, the military strength in Handan itself is very tight. No matter how confident Lian Po is, he does not dare to ignore our army outside Handan City."
"Therefore, there will not be many Zhao troops dispatched this time, no more than 50,000 at most. The cavalry is not suitable for attacking the city. What General Su said may be feasible, but the risk is too great."
"Once Yan Ju notices, our army will be ambushed. Instead of doing this, it is better to contact the scouts, determine the Zhao army's reinforcement route, and let us set up the ambush."
"The Zhao cavalry is mainly on the battlefield at Jingxingguan, and the Zhao army is defending the city. The reinforcements coming from Handan must be mainly infantry."
"As long as the operation is done properly and the intelligence is accurate, it is easy for our army of 10,000 cavalry to defeat Zhao's reinforcements."
Having said this, Zhao Shu chuckled: "The specifics are decided by the general. These are just some personal opinions of the general."
As Zhao Shu talked, at this moment, the eyes of the generals in the shogunate became solemn, and they had a new understanding of Zhao Shu.
In particular, although Zhao Shu was young, he was already a captain of thousands and a middle-level general in the army. In addition to the general Xin Sheng in the shogunate, only General Li Ji and some commanders had higher positions than Zhao Shu.
"Surprise attack reinforcements?"
Xin Sheng frowned, then relaxed. With his eyes, he could see that Zhao Shu was right, and Zhao Guo would not just ignore the letter.
"All the scout battalions were dispatched, and we contacted Heibingtai at the same time to determine the movement of Zhao army's reinforcements, mainly on the front line of Handan and Xindu."
"promise."
The leader of the scout battalion, the widower, nodded and left. His face was full of guilt. This time, the vanguard army suffered a big loss, and the scout battalion had a great responsibility.
"The analysis of Thousand Captains Technique is reasonable. It is more reliable to attack and kill the Zhao army's reinforcements than to pretend that the Zhao army's cavalry is defeated and deceive the city gate."
Xin Sheng also made a decision at this moment: "Once the reinforcements from Handan arrive, they will make up for the shortcomings of Xindu's defenders. As a result, it will be even more difficult to break through Xindu."
"Compared to the main force led by the general, or the southern army led by General Li Xin, our Chinese army suffered heavy losses."
"Therefore, the battle of Xindu must be ended with the minimum cost, otherwise, after the war is over, your military exploits will all be reduced."
"Everyone, go down and rest, and get in touch with the soldiers under your command. From today on, our army will go out at night and hide in the day, secretly advancing towards Xindu."
"promise."
With a nod of agreement, the generals left the shogunate. After a while, Xin Sheng showed a smile on his face and said to Li Ji.
"What do you think of Zhao Shu?"
Hearing this, Li Ji was silent for a while, then turned to Xin Sheng and said, "To be honest, General, this person has some abilities."
"We have an amazing sense of the battle situation. Before the vanguard army rested, we agreed that it was safe and confirmed the information from the scouts."
"However, Zhao Shu believes that there was no reaction from Xindu at all. The vanguard army ran all the way without encountering any Zhao troops. It was too smooth."
"Therefore, I ordered the soldiers under my command not to remove their armor and not to leave their weapons..."
"In this battle, if Zhao Shu hadn't taken the lead, the entire vanguard army would have been annihilated. But this guy was promoted too quickly. In just a short time, he had transformed from a soldier in the dead camp to a cavalryman. The captain among them."
"His military exploits are all recorded by the law officials. Even if he does not obtain military exploits in the future, I am afraid he will be promoted to two or even three levels..."
"Haha, my country, Great Qin, has always awarded titles based on military achievements. Zhao Shu was able to be promoted so quickly because he experienced the most brutal wars."
"Whether it was his first victory in seizing the city at the top of Wu'an City during the Death Soldier Camp, or annihilating the surprise attack of Zhao Army's cavalry, he always fought with his life."
Xin Sheng sighed with emotion: "With both strength and luck, the future of such a person is limitless!"
