Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 231
Zhao Tuo stared at Donghu Youxian King closely, swung the Mo Dao frantically in his hand, and rushed all the way.

It has to be said that Donghu Youxian King is indeed cunning, but he is also really capable. Not only is his martial arts good, but he also has a pretty good escape skill.

He sent all the guards around him to resist Zhao Tuo, rode on the fast horse he had prepared long ago, and quickly escaped from Zhao Tuo's attack range.

After getting rid of the attack, King Youxian of Donghu didn't want to gather his troops, but ran directly towards the distant wilderness.

King Youxian's troops fell into complete chaos when the dragons had no leader. Before dawn, most of them were wiped out, and only a small number were captured to clean up the battlefield for the Qin army.

In the first battle, King Youxian of Donghu had nearly 10 horses, and hundreds of thousands of horses were captured by the Qin army. After hearing the news, the commander of the Qin army was overjoyed, and the whole army was excited.

After learning about the situation of the battle, Wang Ben clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Sure enough, as His Majesty expected, King Donghu Youxian really did the old trick again!"

After the generals heard about the battle, they also talked a lot, and all of them were mocking the ignorance of the Donghu people.

"Hahaha... Donghu people probably never imagined that we have checked their details so clearly!"

"That's right, so, in the future, we still have to take His Majesty's letterhead seriously."

"Thanks to His Majesty's letterhead this time, otherwise, that kid Zhao Tuo might really be deceived!"

"That's right. From now on, when you meet this Donghu Youxian King, you have to have some snacks. Grandma Te, she runs very fast. Next time, you must not let him run away!"

While the generals were talking, Wang Ben was already looking at the march map.

Although he won the first battle in Donghu and won a complete victory, he lost King Youxian of Donghu, Donghu still has King Zuoxian, and King Donghu, and the next battle still has to be fought.

Zhao Tuo's Modao army and cavalry have been exposed, and the next battle will be a real head-to-head battle. Some things have to be prepared, after all, the opponent has a Youxian king who likes to play tricks.

Wang Ben squinted his eyes and stared at the marks on the map. His eyes finally fell on the spot where the scouts finally reported that King Zuoxian of Donghu was stationed. When he saw a thin black line on that area, Wang Ben's eyes flashed.

The battle situation on the front line of Donghu was quickly reported back to Xianyang City. When the courtiers knew the process of the first battle, there was an uproar.

Nowadays, the most important thing in the Qin court is to conquer Donghu and Jizi Korea, so the high officials in the court are very concerned about the movements of the army.

But after learning that Ying Zheng had written a letter in his own hand before Wang Ben sent troops, reminding the Qin army about the matter, the courtiers were suddenly shocked.

"Your Majesty, when did you write to General Wang Ben? When did this happen?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are in Xianyang City, why do you seem to know things thousands of miles away like the palm of your hand?"

"Why do you ask so many questions? It's because of His Majesty's letter. Otherwise, Wang Ben and Zhao Tuo will suffer a lot!"

"Yes, yes, the Donghu people are really too treacherous, and they actually tricked themselves into surrendering. It's really unexpected that there are such cunning people among this group of barbarians!"

"Your Majesty's foresight has reduced our army's losses in this battle by at least [-]%. This is all thanks to Your Majesty!"

Courtiers, what you say, what I say, everything you say is sincere praise for Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng feels comfortable listening, but on the surface, he just looks calm and breezy.

"Actually, it's not that I predicted things like a god, but that you didn't do enough work before the battle!"

"If any of you have carefully checked the past deeds of Donghu's senior management, you will be able to find clues and make the most accurate prediction of the battle situation."

"The Youxian King of Donghu actually surrendered from the Xiongnu. This kind of person is the most capricious. Naturally, he must be guarded against. Once he relaxes his vigilance against this kind of person, he will be irresponsible to my soldiers of the Great Qin!"

With Ying Zheng's words, even Feng Jie and Li Si nodded and fell to the ground, as if they were taught.

When Ying Zheng saw it, he didn't need to mention the comfort in his heart, but he knew very well that it wasn't that these courtiers were not serious and meticulous, but that even he didn't expect that the Youxian King of Donghu was really a capricious little boy. people!

If it weren't for the voice of Prince Zhao Yi this time, Zhao Tuo would definitely suffer a big loss this time, so Ying Zheng knew very well that Daqin had trusted Zhao Yi this time.

But it is absolutely impossible to say this, after all, he is his own son, and it is only right and proper to be honored by his own son!
At this time on the Donghu Grassland, Wang Ben's army had already joined Zhao Tuo, and the commander began a new round of tactical deployment.

"Zhao Tuo, you will be the vanguard and clear the way for the army, but all your cavalry must stay!"

"According to what His Majesty reminded us, there must be conspiracies and tricks when the wise kings on the left and right of Donghu join forces, you see!"

Wang Ben pointed at the large marching map behind him and pointed at the generals to the positions where the virtuous kings on the left and right of Donghu were currently confronting Da Qin.

"At the upper reaches of the Donghu people's camp, the scouts discovered that there was an unnamed river. It was the spring flood season on the grasslands. If there were no accidents, the Donghu people should have built a dam on the upper end of the river to store water."

"Look at the camp of the Donghu people. It happens to be a hilly area. That is to say, once our army enters the battlefield, the Donghu people will immediately destroy the dam and release the water. At that time, our army will definitely be wiped out!"

Zhao Tuo's heart trembled when he heard this.

He knew very well that the Modao army was very powerful, even in the face of thousands of cavalry attacks, they could remain invincible.

But after all, the Modao army is composed of mortals, and they are not invulnerable. Once the Donghu people really do that, no amount of Modao army will be enough to fill their lives.

"Please show me, Commander!" After listening to Wang Ben's explanation of the battle situation, the generals already understood that under the guidance of His Majesty, Wang Ben probably had a comprehensive consideration.

"We are now divided into three groups, Zhao Tuo is still the forward, but there is no need to march in a hurry, walk slowly, the kind that is not in a hurry!"

"It takes three days to walk from our current camp to the Donghu camp, and you can walk for four days. But in the first three days, Yang Duanhe, Qiang Huai, you lead all the cavalry, go around behind the Donghu people, and cut off their retreat."

"This commander personally led the army, divided the troops into two groups, and went all the way to the upper reaches of the Wuming River. This commander personally went to meet the virtuous king of Donghu You. He dared to play in the water in front of me. He didn't know how to live or die!"

"Wang Li, you lead the rest of the troops, and immediately launch a feint attack on Zuo Xianwang's troops after the hasty march. You don't have to fight hard, just hold them back. This time, I'm going to cook them all!"
