"I, Zhao Yun, only need ten thousand soldiers.”
Hearing this young voice, all the generals in the commander's tent were shocked.
With only ten thousand soldiers, he dared to attack Shangdang County, which was guarded by thirty thousand Zhao infantry. Was he crazy?!
This was a military pledge. If anything went wrong, he would be stripped of his title and beheaded. There was no room for jokes.
Even the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the main seat, frowned and looked a little worried.
This was his trusted aide and beloved general. He deeply acknowledged his bravery and courage. However, in terms of leading troops to battle, Zhao Yun had yet to display any talent or experience.
Moreover, bringing only ten thousand soldiers was no different from courting death.
"General Zhao, if you retreat now, I can treat it as a joke.”
Meng Ao placed his hands behind his back and stared at the calm Zhao Mu as he spoke with a solemn expression.
It was undeniable that Zhao Yun was the strongest general in the army in terms of martial arts. Even if Meng Tian and Wang Ben joined forces, they would not be able to last more than a few rounds. Not to mention, his deputy general Zhang Fei was also the one who defeated the number one general of the State of Zhao, Lianpo.
However, this was only the strength of an individual.
This expedition was to command the army. If the command was not appropriate, something would definitely happen.
You can't just charge up to the city wall alone and use Peerless to wipe out the 30,000 strong army, right?
However, Shangdang County didn't have many capable people guarding it. If it was Meng Ao or Wang Jian who personally led the army, ten thousand soldiers would be enough.
However, for a young man who had just become a general and had never led an army in battle, this was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Although Zhao Zilong's name had become famous all over the world and had greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, it was still unable to determine the change in the battle situation.
Individual strength could never make up for the lack of experience in commanding troops.
"If I don't win this battle, I'll cut off my head to apologize.”
"The capture of Shangdang's cities this time is no child's play. Once you make a military pledge, if you lose or suffer heavy losses, then this old man will have no way to help you.”
Meng Ao looked at Zhao Mu meaningfully and said.
If Zhao Mu had brought more men, he would not have persuaded him like this. The risk of only bringing ten thousand soldiers was too great.
This was the pillar of the State of Qin that had just risen. In the future, there would be many opportunities for him to make contributions. Meng Ao did not want him to fall here like this.
Even the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was a little worried at this moment. He did not want his trusted subordinate to take such a risk.
"Marshal, I know the severity of the situation."
"Then tell me, how are you going to use ten thousand soldiers to conquer Shangdang County?”
"Attacking the city is the worst, attacking the heart is the best. This method can only be used by this general and the marshal.”
Zhao Mu said calmly.
His fame had already spread throughout the world. In addition to the surprise attack on the middle camp of the Zhao army, ordinary Zhao generals would probably be terrified when they saw him.
Attacking by force was definitely not desirable, so Zhao Mu chose the strategy of attacking the city and attacking the heart.
Only he and Marshal Meng Ao could carry out this plan.
Marshal Meng Ao wanted to guard against Li Mu's army, so only he could carry out this important task.
“...........”
After hearing Zhao Mu's plan, Meng Ao stared deeply at this young general.
In the past, he had only thought that he was very brave and courageous, but now it seemed that he was not only good at charging into battle, but also had some achievements in strategy.
However, he did not know how good he was at commanding troops in battle.
However, Meng Ao quickly made up his mind. A jade that was not carved could not be made into a treasure. It still needed to experience hardships before it could grow.
If he was able to have some achievements in commanding troops and fighting wars, then other than Wang Jian and himself, the Qin Country would probably have a third marshal.
"Good! Since General Zhao has already made a decision, I will mobilize the elites of the entire army to supplement your subordinates. The appointment of official positions will also be handed over to you.”
"Thank you, Marshal."
Zhao Mu answered firmly.
This was a total of 10,000 elite Qin soldiers. It could be said that their battle was shocking.
As for the three lieutenants under his command, Zhao Mu had almost thought of a way to distribute them.
This time, he would not be polite with the credit of taking down Shangdang Prefecture. After this battle, he could return to Xianyang to enjoy his life.
After receiving the order, Zhao Mu strode out of the commander's tent and began to select the most elite soldiers of the Qin army to fill up his ranks.
In the commander's tent, many generals looked at Marshal Meng Ao worriedly.
"Marshal, isn't it a little too hasty for General Zhao to lead troops into battle for the first time?”
"That's right. He has never had the experience of leading an army in battle. If he suffers heavy losses…"
"This is leading troops to battle, not fighting generals in front of the battlefield.”
“...........”
Meng Ao looked at everyone and shook his head in disappointment. He did not say anything.
He maintained a favorable attitude towards Zhao Mu's plan. If it was successful, even if he only had ten thousand soldiers, he could still take down Shangdang County.
Use people without suspicion, doubt people do not use.
This was the most basic principle of a commander.
"Alright, don't talk too much. Keep a close eye on Li Mu's movements.”Meng Ao said," Let's wait for Zhao Zilong's good news.”
