"Bang!"
A giant hand infused with Starlight Power slammed down hard on the Table, causing the roasted deer meat inside the bronze cauldron to jump up, along with the wine cups on the Table. The fine wine mixed with the meat broth and splashed back onto the Table, filling the air with the aroma of wine and meat.
In front of the Table, a rugged-looking Qin General had a cold gaze. With his left hand pressed on the table, he suddenly drew out his Sharp Sword with his right hand and shouted angrily at a group of generals under the tent, "Despicable! Utterly despicable! That Ye Yang has gained the title of Eastern General and dares to act so recklessly, injuring two of my great generals. That traitor Liu Meng actually surrendered to the Qi Army, resulting in the loss of three of my generals. Not to mention, all the supplies gathered from Taiyuan, Shangjun, and Beidi County have been taken away by Ye Yang. It truly infuriates me! It truly infuriates me!"
The group of generals fell silent, not daring to utter a word. The furious commander was none other than Wang Li, grandson of the famous general Wang Jian from the Qin State.
In Qi State, Zhang Han was the commanding Marshal. However, Wang Li also commanded an elite force of two hundred thousand troops, holding a status that was not inferior to Zhang Han's. Therefore, even Zhang Han had to rely on Wang Li; otherwise, he would be unable to contend alone against Xiang Yu's army. After all, although Xiang Yu had only over a hundred thousand troops, they were all elite soldiers from Chu Region and had allied forces from various feudal lords. Their total strength was certainly no less than two hundred thousand. Moreover, within the Chu Army were the renowned Overlord Cavalry, a trump card that made both Zhang Han and Wang Li wary.
...
Under the tent, a general stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "General, that Ye Yang is so arrogant as to block our supplies. In my opinion, we must attack Hengshan County to avenge this grievance. Additionally, we need to send capable individuals to infiltrate Ye Yang's army and kill that traitor Liu Meng to demonstrate that Great Qin's military might is inviolable!"
Wang Li's breath quickened, his eyes filled with anger. A faint True Qi floated around him, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled lightly, saying, "Hmph, that Ye Yang is located in the far east where the terrain is flat and lacks defenses. As long as we dispatch Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry to sweep through, that small fortress of Hengshan County will surely be wiped out in an instant."
Immediately, a general with a scarred face stepped forward and said solemnly, "General, I am willing to lead twenty thousand Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry to flatten Hengshan County and kill that traitor Liu Meng!"
Wang Li raised his hand and said, "Hold on! Do not underestimate Ye Yang's military strength. I have heard that Ye Yang is a Bloodline heir of Hidden Dragon Hall and one of the legendary Six Great Guardian Warriors known as Fire God Warrior. He commands hundreds of Hidden Dragon Hall Warriors who are exceptionally fierce. To kill Ye Yang, we must confront this group of Hidden Dragon Hall Warriors head-on. We need strong crossbow units to hold back Ye Yang's main force while using Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry for a charge. Once we eliminate this group of Hidden Dragon Hall Warriors—hmph—even an Earth Level Nine expert would still die under the relentless assault of Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry!"
The Scarred General nodded in agreement: "General is wise. But where exactly should we attack Qi Land?"
Wang Li stroked his beard lightly and smiled: "Hengshan County is their defensive stronghold; they must be prepared. Scouts report that Ye Yang originally amassed sixty thousand elite troops at Azure Mountain Camp and later received ten thousand Iron Cavalry from Yan State along with several thousand men from Liu Meng. He already has eighty thousand troops now; charging head-on may not yield us any advantage. I propose that General Meng Jun lead fifty thousand Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry through Azure Cloud Mountain Range to attack Ye Yang's Eastern County to divert Ye Yang's forces. Remember, fifty thousand Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry should only attack Eastern County—surround but do not annihilate it. If Eastern County is in distress, Ye Yang will surely lead his hundred thousand elite troops back for rescue. Once Hengshan County's elite forces are fully deployed, I will lead one hundred fifty thousand elite troops into Hengshan County to completely destroy it and seize Hengshan County to subdue Yan State, Zhao State, Wei Kingdom, and other feudal lords!"
Scarface immediately clasped his fists and laughed, "Please rest assured, General. I will not disappoint your expectations. However, I only need twenty thousand Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry, not fifty thousand. Hmph, there's no need to expend that many troops against a city like Eastern County!"
Wang Li couldn't help but smile as he walked down, lightly patting Scarred General's shoulder. "Meng Jun, you are the son of General Meng Tian, and I was once the deputy general under General Montain. Together, we will surely uproot Ye Yang from Qi Land!"
Meng Jun clasped his fists and said solemnly, "Yes! However, I still hope that the General can leave thirty thousand Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry for our deployment. After all, there are only fifty thousand in total, and these are our key assets for the siege!"
Wang Li shook his head and smiled. "No, although the Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry is elite, this army was created by General Meng Ao and has followed General Montain in campaigns against the Xiongnu, crushing their main forces with overwhelming strength. These heroic soldiers cannot be led by anyone but you, Meng Jun. You are my deputy and also an Imperial General. You must remember that after surrounding Eastern County with the Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry, do not act rashly. If you discover Ye Yang's army coming to rescue, withdraw immediately without engaging."
Meng Jun nodded. "Yes, I will strictly follow your orders!"
"Good!"
Wang Li laughed heartily and then looked at everyone. With a clang, he drew his Marshal's sword and shouted, "Soldiers of the Three Armies, listen up! Today we prepare food at midnight and depart at dawn. General Meng Jun will lead fifty thousand Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry to attack Eastern County while the rest of you will follow me to assault Hengshan County and avenge our previous disgrace!"
Everyone raised their weapons and shouted in unison.
Two days later.
"Report!"
A sharp cry echoed in the lord's mansion of Hengshan County as a Messenger tumbled into the hall, shouting loudly, "Something terrible has happened!"
Ye Yang was playing chess with Wang Lie when he turned and asked, "What is the matter?"
"My lord, a message has arrived by carrier pigeon. Half a day ago, Deputy General Meng Jun from Wang Li's Army led fifty thousand Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry across the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. Their momentum is fierce, and it seems they are heading towards our Eastern County. The Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry is exceptionally elite; once they reach Eastern County City, Eastern County will be in jeopardy. If Eastern County falls into the hands of the Qin Army, our rear areas such as Jibei Commandery, Xue County, and Linzi City will all be exposed to the might of the Qin Army!"
With a thud, Ye Yang dropped a chess piece on the ground, his sword-like brows furrowing tightly. "Damn it, it seems we are truly in trouble. Wang Lie, what kind of force is the Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry? How fast are they? Can we lead the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry to intercept them in time?"
Wang Lie shook his head. "It’s already too late. The Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry is the elite army of the Qin State, established by the renowned general Meng Ao. They have not suffered defeat for nearly a hundred years. It is said that the steeds of the Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry are bred from fine northern warhorses and have been fed Cold Grass for years, giving them exceptional endurance and speed. They are fully equipped with specialized armor, and their cavalry consists of carefully selected warriors. The Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry has swept through battles east and west, defeating the armies of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in one fell swoop! This time, with the entire Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry mobilized, Wang Li likely intends to confront us directly. Although we have Vermilion Bird Knights, our numbers are too few to engage in a hasty battle..."
