In front of Zijing Pass, the army of Zhao finally arrived. Ten thousand horses galloped, covering the sky with sand and dust. Looking at the majestic aura that rushed in, the Yan General Ning Hu, who was standing at the juncture, had an extremely serious expression on his face.

According to reliable information, the Zhao army from Yanling Pass had a total of more than 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. Although the military strength of the other side seemed insufficient compared to the 60,000 Yan troops gathered near Zijing Pass, Ning Hu did not dare to underestimate him at all.

In just over ten days, the Zhao army went deep into Yan State for more than 600 miles, killing the Yan State defenders, which was enough to show the strength of this army.

However, for a proud general, any powerful enemy is not afraid. What's more, the 60,000 elite soldiers at Zijing Pass are not vegetarians.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. On the way to leave Jicheng, Ning Hu had already read all the information he had so far. He had heard of Li Mu, the rising star of Zhao State. But he did not know much about Murong Licheng, who led the cavalry as the vanguard this time.

Ning Hu and his generals and officers carefully studied the other party's military strength. It is said that this cavalry unit, which was personally named the Hu Ben Army by King Chu Jiangmian of Zhao, originally had only about 5,000 cavalry. After the great victory of Yanling Pass, it expanded to the current ten thousand cavalry because they had seized many war horses from the Hu people.

Can more than 10,000 cavalry be so powerful? Ning Hu suddenly laughed coldly. Because he is also a cavalry general, he brought the most elite 20,000 cavalry in Yan State! In any case, he will have to compete with the other side this time.

Because of the territory and terrain, if you talk about it in detail, the people of Yan were threatened by Hu cavalry, which were much larger than those of Zhao and several other vassal states. Because of this, the number of cavalry units developed by Yan State at all costs in the past few years was still very considerable. General Ning Hu, as a leader in the army who was highly valued by the King of Yan, naturally had his own set of marching and fighting.

At this time, he followed the king's order and came to Zijing Pass. His main combat target was Li Mu, but not Murong Li City. In any aspect, the unknown Murong Li City is not worthy of such attention.

However, Ning Hu, who was standing under the flag of rushing, would never have expected that he would soon learn the power of the young general of the other party.

The wind came from the northwest, carrying an iron-blooded breath. Ning Hu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the figures of cavalry that appeared vaguely in the distance outside the city. He asked faintly.

"Have you arranged the matter of transporting supplies and weapons in the rear?"

Hearing the general's question, the general around him quickly replied: "There are sufficient combat weapons in the city, and there is no need for the general to worry. All supplies from the rear are safe!"

Ning Hu nodded. When such a situation was tense, he believed that no one dared to slack off. As long as the weapons and equipment are sufficient and the supply in the rear is timely, not only will Zijing Pass be foolproof, but he also has sufficient confidence in the victory of this war. However, he still gave another special reminder.

"We must send more scouts to keep a vigilant in the rear transportation channel. We order them to keep in touch with the cavalry at any time. If we find that the Zhao army has any intentions, we will act randomly and resolutely annihilate the invading enemies! If there is any delay in the fight, we should engage in accordance with the military law. We will punish them severely and never tolerate them!"

Hearing his stern tone, all the generals and schoolmen obeyed the orders with stern orders. Everyone knows the importance of the battlefield of Zijing Pass, and the success or failure of this war is largely related to the rise and fall of Yan State. If something really happens and is defeated, it will be a great disaster.

There are flat areas around Zijing Pass, and this heavy city is very tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Ning Hu was not worried about anything else, but the logistics supply channel made him feel a little relieved. Because he had learned military tactics, he knew very well that the supply of weapons and logistics supplies for such large-scale combat was extremely important. There were many failed generals, which were caused by the enemy's opportunity to take advantage of the errors and omissions in this regard.

Because he was concerned about these things, he specially mobilized two cavalry units, stationed in the direction of Dongcheng, and could be dispatched quickly at any time. If the Zhao army's cavalry wanted to make an idea in this regard, he would not mind taking advantage of the tricks and taking the opportunity to eliminate them.

Of course, before the real war begins, these are just preventive measures. The battlefield situation changes rapidly, and no one knows what will happen next. Even if Ning Hu has the absolute confidence to repel Zhao's army, he is not so arrogant that he thinks he is a general who wins every battle.

The scout who was exploring the news came soon to report that the Zhao army had already begun camping. It seemed that they wanted to have a temporary rest and would not start the war in a short period of time. Ning Hu observed the city for a while and saw that everything was arranged safely and all the soldiers were ready for battle without any omissions. He felt relieved, waved his hand, and led the generals and school down.

"General! The King of Yan brought us a large amount of armor and weapons this time, and there was a guarantee of 100,000 arrows... Haha! The Zhao army rushed over for a long distance and fought continuously. I guess we were already exhausted. If we could not win under this situation, we would be too sorry for the King of Yan's expectations."

The general followed behind and whispered. Ning Hu stopped and looked back, and saw that his subordinates were excited. Of course he knew what they were thinking, but for the sake of caution, he did not want them to take risks like this.

"The Zhao army is coming in a fierce manner, so don't underestimate the enemy. Without being sure, no one is allowed to fight easily!"

"General, isn't it a good opportunity now? While they are not yet firm in their foothold, the generals are willing to attack the enemy camp at night! No matter whether they can do their best to kill him first. At least they can slapped their spirits and strengthen the power of our Yan State!"

These generals and officers of the Yan State were also brave and warlike guys. Since the Yan army in Zijingguan had such military advantages and strong weapons supply, they could not wait to start a war with the Zhao army. After all, for the warriors fighting on the battlefield, all their glory depends on military merits. Any favorable opportunity must be firmly grasped.

"What are you anxious about? Our army is waiting for work and has a huge advantage. The longer the time, the more opportunities... wait! When the time is ripe, when the victory or defeat is decided by a battle, the Zhao army will be unable to escape!"

Ning Hu made a decision with a majestic voice, and the others had to give up and obey the orders together. Everyone followed the general and prepared to return to the general's mansion to discuss the combat plan. At this moment, someone rushed from Jicheng and told them a shocking news.

The King of Yan is dead! Prince Dan inherited the throne and became the new King of Yan.

The news was too sudden and shocking. Everyone looked at their generals in a glance, and their faces showed unconcealed panic. Ning Hu, who is the direct general of the King of Yan, had a different mood in his heart. Not long ago, when he left Jicheng, the King of Yan had summoned him personally. But why did he die suddenly? This is really a change of turmoil and troublesome!

Before they could digest this shocking change, the envoy from the New Yan King who had just ascended the throne arrived.

The envoy who came with a large number of rewards was the guest minister who had been with Prince Dan, and he was a confidant. In order to win over these soldiers in front and to appease the hearts of the people, the new Yan King was not stingy and ordered the opening of the national treasury, filled with dozens of carriages, and directly pulled to Zijing Pass.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under heavy rewards. With the inspiration of wealth and money, he believed that the soldiers of Yan State would definitely create miracles.

Although all the soldiers who received the rewards and rewards still had many doubts about the sudden death of the Old Yan King, they had already reached this point, so they, who were far away from the capital, would naturally not say anything more. What's more, Prince Dan's reputation has always been good. Assuming the throne was what everyone hoped to do.

Even Ning Hu accepted the heavy rewards brought by the special envoy. Whether it was the dead King Yan or the Prince Dan who had just ascended the throne, as long as he trusted him and still let him lead the army to fight, there would be no big difference. The general's responsibilities were originally on the battlefield. Only by achieving continuous victory was what they should care about.

However, Ning Hu, who had just felt relieved, quickly raised his heart again. Because the envoy of the King of Yan pulled him aside and whispered to him another news.

"General Ning, the attack on Qi by Yan and Qin failed... Perhaps, Yan will face a huge crisis soon. Therefore, the king asked me to remind you that the battlefield of Zijing Pass must be quickly decided and defeated the Zhao army in this regard as soon as possible! I wonder if General Ning has a good plan?"

It’s really unparalleled, but misfortunes never come alone! Ning Hu was so angry at that time. He glanced at the generals and schoolmen around him who were celebrating each other and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Because he knew very well that the King of Yan suppressed this news only secretly told him that he wanted to make sure he had to win this battle!

"This news is too sudden. I have to re-adjust the strategic deployment... Alas! To be honest, if there is enough time, it is still very likely to defeat the Zhao army outside the Zijing Pass. But since the situation is so critical, I have to take a risk... As for the victory or defeat, I am not sure."
