After leaving Wancheng, the Qin army in Nanyang did not march quickly. They only walked twenty miles a day and then set up camp early.

The strong fences and deep trenches are in such camps, and the soldiers slept very peacefully every night.

In the central army's tent, the tall masked banners were roaring in the wind.

But the person in charge of the central army's tent was not Meng Tian, ​​but Bu Xing, the elder in the army.

The Qin army advanced towards Rang County, but as early as when the Qin army had just left Wancheng, Meng Tian took advantage of the night to lead the cavalry and secretly detour to the land of Huyang.

After the Chu army captured Hu Yang, Jing Wei did not continue to advance.

After learning that Pu Ye had captured Wu Pass, Jing Wei felt that the mission of the Chu army had been completed and there was no need to shed more blood for the sake of Zhao's plan.

The clans of Chu were full of conflicts, and the big clans were guarding their own interests. The better Pu Ye fought, the more incompetent his colleagues seemed. In private, Jing Wei did not like generals like Pu Ye.

The order given by Jing Wei made Pu Ye take the initiative to attack Wuguan. Now it is better. After the fall of Wuguan, it will definitely attract revenge from the Qin army.

"In Huyang, you can attack and retreat." Jing Wei determined the strategy of the Chu army. "Our army stationed in Huyang can not only guard against the Qin army in Wancheng and support Pu Ye's front army. If the time changes, you can also quickly withdraw from Chu."

The Chu army was not short of bravery, but the Chu kings lost their aggressive spirit for several generations, and the generals appointed were mostly conservatives like Jing Wei.

Jing Wei's strategy may not achieve much results, but it will not cause much loss.

Of course, if Jing Wei did not meet Meng Tian, ​​his wishful thinking could continue.

At this time, Meng Tian hid out at night and led his elite cavalry to approach Hu Yang quietly.

In October, the weather was not that cold. At the end of the Warring States Period, the global climate was gradually warming.

In the evening, starlight shone down, illuminating the rustling figures in the valley.

Surprisingly, there was no sound in the shadows.

Night battles, or night attacks, were extremely difficult to implement in ancient society. Without appropriate communication methods, it was difficult for troops that were engaged in night battles to coordinate.

Only in modern warfare did some troops become extremely good at night wars. The volunteer troops of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea were the masters of the night on the battlefield.

Although the night battle is difficult, it is not unsuccessful.

The trained elite troops can become adapted to the rhythm of night battles.

When he was stationed in Wancheng, Meng Tian was not idle and presided over the training of the night march. The cavalry unit that he valued the most was passed by the training course for night battles under Meng Tian's personal leadership.

"General, the Chu army has 60,000 troops stationed in Huyang City." Li Bi pointed to the direction of Huyang City and introduced the information obtained. "The focus of the Chu army's garrison was the direction of the North City, while the position of the commander Jing Wei was in the direction of the East City."

"Dongcheng?" Luo Jia chuckled and said, "Are you planning to withdraw from Chu at any time?"

The cavalry led by Luo Jia was good at fighting, and the good horses that Meng Tian could find were concentrated under his crotch. After training on impacting the cavalry, Luo Jia despised a conservative general like Jing Wei.

In order to create the illusion that Meng Tian was still in the army, Meng Tian did not bring Meng Hu and Meng Bao in the guard camp, and there were only two cavalry generals Li Bi and Luo Jia.

Soldiers are the most important gods. In this era, only cavalry can achieve the fastest marching rate.

Clausewitz said it well, when your army can move faster than the enemy, you gain a strategic advantage.

"Where is the food and grass place for the Chu army?" Meng Tian asked.

"It accumulates in the Huyang official warehouse." Li Bi replied.

All cities in various countries have built official warehouses for storing grain. The official warehouses in Huyang have few grains and the empty grain warehouses just cheaply, just so the Chu army has.

"The cavalry is not suitable for siege. After falling into street battles in the city, the Chu army can swallow us alive." Meng Tian planned, "This battle was a surprise to the Chu army, mainly expelling the Chu army."

After Jing Wei retreated, Pu Ye had no reinforcements and could only become an isolated army, without food and grass, and without soldiers, and could only become a water without a source.

Wang Jian was in charge in Guanzhong, and Meng Tian didn't believe that Pu Ye could really pass the Shiguan.

"How is Ruishi Camp prepared?"

Under the starlight, Meng Tian's eyes fell on a dark man.

"General, the Ruishi Camp is ready to go, just waiting for the general's order!" The dark man's eyes were filled with a look of eagerness to try.

This great Han Dynasty was named Manqiang. His ancestors came from Badi and were hunters. Originally, according to the order of the King of Qin, Manqiang would go to Longxi to guard the border and settle down. However, because of Meng Tian's dissuasion, Manqiang became a member of the Nanyang garrison.

As early as when training cavalry, his powerful archery skills attracted Meng Tian's idea.

After learning that Man Qiang was born into a hunter, Meng Tian saw that he was flexible and had accurate archery skills, and a bold idea took shape.

In ancient times, it was so difficult to capture the city, but if there was an elite army that secretly attacked the city gate, it would greatly facilitate the difficulty of the army's siege.

So, Meng Tian waved his hand and the Nanyang garrison established a special Ruishi battalion. Although he borrowed the name of Ruishi battalion, Meng Tian trained the earliest special forces in Chinese history.

Climbing skills, swordsmanship, assassination, lurking, even though he is a hunter, he feels rejuvenated after training.

"Now think about it, when I was hunting, I was so sad that I was chasing rabbits, wealthy wolves and so on!" Manqiang's mind flashed through the training scene of the Special Reissier Camp, looking forward to the excitement of the battlefield.

Raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while. This night will become the day for the Ruishi Camp to become famous.

"Mao Qiang, you lead the Ruishi Camp to the East City and seize the city gate in the early morning!"

In the early morning, the darkest night is the time. At this time, the Chu soldiers who were on duty all night will definitely be in a state of mental slackness.

"No!" Manqiang touched the hook claws on his waist, looking full of confidence. The cliffs that were dozens of feet high were conquered by the Ruishi Camp. Are you still afraid of the Huyang City Wall that is less than two feet high?

Touching the hook claws, Manqiang couldn't help but admire this young general from the Meng family. Although this small hook claw, with it, even the higher the city wall, Manqiang could sneak in.

"Li Bi, you lead your cavalry and pass through the city gate and head straight to the Huyang official warehouse. Just set fire to the fire!" Meng Tian ordered: "Remember, don't fight!"

"Luo Jia, follow me and take the Chu army's commander's tent directly!"

In ancient times, fighting was morale. Morale was hard to explain or explain, but morale was indeed real. Killing the chief general of the army could greatly impact the morale of the enemy even in later generations. Otherwise, the Americans would not have carefully planned the sniping of Yamamoto Izuru.

Once the general dies, an army will likely lose morale. With the exact information, Meng Tian decisively issued a plan to implement the killing operation.
