Chapter 224 Enemies meet
"Boom!"
The war horses galloped, and 30,000 cavalry leaped across the county. The Qin people were frightened when they heard the news and hid and retreated.
Zhao Jia never doubted whether the 40,000 newly recruited Qin army could be wiped out and whether the food and grass that were recruited from Shangjun could be burned down.
In Zhao Jia's view, the 40,000 newly recruited Qin army has not been fully integrated yet, and it is still just a mob.
The most important thing is that Zhao Jia thought that at this time, the Qin State was in a war with the coalition forces, and that he would definitely not have any real ability to be sent to be a logistics general.
The general is the courage of the soldiers. One general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies.
If such an army cannot win, how dare Zhao Jia be called elite?
"Tait!"
Thirty thousand cavalrymen were raging, running towards Qiyuan like a hurricane.
Outside Qiyuan City, Meng Tian was counting the food and grass from the entire Shangjun, and said intimately: "It won't take long before the food and grass in the entire Shangjun can be gathered, and then you can take the newly recruited soldiers to the front line."
Thinking of the front line, Meng Tian unconsciously thought of Fan Yuqi in his mind, and remembering that his grandfather was besieged to death. The Qin army led by Fan Yuqian was marching slowly and clenched his fists unconsciously again.
It is no exaggeration to say that Fan Yuqi was extremely responsible for the failure of Meng Ao's rescue in time.
But soon, Meng Tian calmed down and calmed her heart, because Meng Tian knew that the Meng family had lost its power now. If he did not know how to restrain himself, he would instead want to cause trouble on this battlefield that concerns the life and death of Qin, which would only accelerate the demise of the Meng family.
For the sake of the present plan, Meng Tian could only endure it secretly and wait for the opportunity to rise silently.
"Report!"
Suddenly, Meng Tian saw the scout who was sent out to be responsible for the investigation and ran over with blood all over, and was immediately shocked.
"What happened?"
This is the hinterland of Qin. It is logically impossible to encounter an enemy. Meng Tian sent out a scout just because of his habits, and he didn't think he would encounter anything.
But now, seeing the scout's terrified look, Meng Tian immediately felt something was wrong.
"Qi Zhu, we met the Zhao cavalry twenty miles north of Qiyuan, and our brothers were killed and injured!"
Meng Tian was shocked when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "Have you ever found out who the enemy commander is and how many enemy troops are?"
The scout gasped and said, "We only encountered the scout of Zhao State. We did not find out the enemy commander and number. It was just that the villain was running away. He vaguely heard the scout of Zhao State pursuing him and said: You must not let any Qin army scout be let go, so as not to break the plan of the emperor!"
"Master?"
When Meng Tian heard this, his eyes suddenly showed a light of hatred, and then he became eager to try.
He was worried that he would be neglected and would not have the chance to make achievements, but he did not expect to encounter the Zhao people raiding here.
If the Zhao cavalry could be blocked, Meng Tian would definitely make his mark among the Qin army. With Lu Buwei's support, it would not be difficult for the Meng family to rise again at that time.
After all, although the Meng family declined, there were still many old troops in the army. As long as Meng Tian could show his ability to lead the troops and be valued by the King of Qin, those people would naturally support Meng Tian.
"Transfer our military orders and quickly mobilize the soldiers of the original county towns in Shangjun to follow me to guard the Luoma Pavilion!"
"Tell Meng Yi that he could quickly transport the food and supplies in the city to the city, and transfer all the soldiers to the city, preparing to fight to the death with the enemy!"
Meng Tian was very familiar with the combat methods of the Zhao cavalry. The opponent's vanguard cavalry scout would lead the main force at least twenty miles.
The scouts on his side met the Qin army scout twenty miles away, indicating that the main force of the Zhao army had been about forty miles away from Qiyuan. With the abnormal marching speed of the Zhao cavalry, when the scouts came back to report the news, they must have marched at least ten miles again.
In other words, the main force of the Zhao army is now thirty miles away from Qiyuan.
Since the food and supplies outside Qiyuan City were to be transported to the front line, Meng Tian did not transport it to the city, but instead built camps outside the city to accumulate food and supplies.
If troops were not sent to intercept Zhao's army at this time, I am afraid that the food, grass and supplies outside the city had not been completely transported to the city, and the Zhao cavalry had already arrived at the city.
At that time, the food and grass were obtained by Zhao's army, and Meng Tian really had no day to turn over again.
For the current plan, Meng Tian could only lead three thousand county soldiers to the north, blocking the Qin army at the Luomating, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and creating an opportunity for Meng Yi to transport food and grass into the city.
Only when Meng Yi transported all the food and grass to the city could the Qin army stop Zhao's army.
The Luoma Pavilion is located five miles north of Qiyuan. It occupies a key area of mountains and forests. Although it is not a critical area of pass, it is also a dangerous place that is good at defending.
When Meng Tian led three thousand county soldiers to fight, the fallen pavilion had been occupied by the scouts of the thirty Zhao State.
"withdraw!"
Facing the three thousand county soldiers led by Meng Tian, the 30 scouts of the State of Zhao did not forcibly stop him, but instead rode away.
But the scout leader showed a look of worry in his eyes.
He did not expect that the Qin army scouts were so difficult to deal with, even compared to the previous Huns, it was even better.
The most important thing is that the scout leader actually saw stirrups and horseshoes from the captured Qin army horses.
This also shows that Ma Shuan Sanbao, who is the biggest supporter of the Zhao cavalry, was also equipped by the Qin army.
"If the Qin army scout had not been let go, the Qin people would not have reacted so quickly."
The scout leader of Zhao State turned to look at the thousands of Qin troops occupying dangerous roads, and showed regret.
"Quickly cut down trees, block the road, and prepare for combat!"
Meng Tian is worthy of being a general. Even though he knows that there are quite a few enemies coming this time, he does not look panicked at all, but instead commands calmly.
"Tait!"
On the official road, Zhao Jia roared and rushed with the cavalry, but his face disappeared before he began to calmly become much more solemn.
He thought that the large number of scouts he sent out in advance could completely block the news and prevent the army he led from being discovered, but he did not expect it to be exposed so soon.
What made Zhao Jia feel the most serious was that the Qin general reacted too quickly. Facing the sudden appearance of the Zhao cavalry, he not only did not panic at all, but instead quickly organized the Qin army to occupy the important road.
This kind of psychological quality and reaction speed cannot be achieved by mediocre generals.
"Who is the commander of the Qin army?"
Zhao Jia, full of doubt, took his cavalry south and soon arrived at the location of the fallen pavilion.
"Meng? How could luck be so bad!"
When Zhao Jia saw the "Meng" flag on the Qin army's position, his face became extremely exciting. Now Meng Ao and Meng Wu are both dead, and Meng Tian is the only one left of the Meng family. Meng Yi's brothers are of great use.
Among the two brothers of the Montessori, only Meng Tian is good at leading the army. If the opponent is indeed Meng Tian, then what Zhao Jia encounters is not a piece of fat meat, but a hard bone.
At the same time, Meng Tian stood on a high place and saw the big banner of the word "Zhao". He also saw Zhao Jia surrounded by everyone. He couldn't help but clench his fists, and his eyes showed an unconcealed hatred.
