Five days later, the entire army was assembled. A total of 300,000 soldiers were gathered.
Among them, there were 200,000 veterans and 100,000 recruits.
The State of Qin also hoped to use this opportunity to work together with the veterans and new recruits to hone the new recruits.
Because these few years, the Qin country had suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, those veterans were getting old and some died in battle.
As a result, the age of the new recruits that had been recruited over the years was getting younger and younger.
In the past, they started to recruit at the age of seventeen, but now they started to recruit at the age of fourteen. If they continued to fight for decades, there might not be any soldiers left to recruit.
A few days later, the army set out again.
This time, the Qin army's goal was to take Ye City of Zhao.
Ye City's geographical location was very special. It was less than 20 kilometers south of Anyang and only 40 kilometers north of Handan, the capital of Zhao. It was very close to Handan, the capital of Zhao.
Therefore, if the Qin army could capture Ye City, they could directly intimidate Zhao's capital, Handan. It would also bring a lot of pressure to Han and Wei.
However, Yi Feng knew that in history, Huan He, Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe, and the others had not been able to take down Ye City in this war. They had only taken down the other nine cities.
Of course, the current Yi Feng was only a small soldier, unable to influence the battle situation.
What he could do now was to kill as many enemies as possible on the battlefield and make as many contributions as possible. Only when he could lead an army to war would he be able to make his own decisions.
Wang Ben led the 50,000-strong army to the border of Zhao State.
Of the 50,000 vanguard troops, there were 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry.
The 10,000 new soldiers led by Wang Li were the only new soldiers in Wang Ben's 50,000-strong vanguard army.
After all, the vanguard of an army was very important. They were usually veterans, because once the vanguard collapsed, it would have a huge negative impact on the morale of the main force behind.
The reason why Wang Li's new army was able to join the 50,000-strong vanguard was because their commander was Wang Li, the son of Wang Ben and the grandson of Wang Jian.
The soldiers who were the easiest to make contributions were the soldiers closest to the battlefield. Therefore, the vanguard was the easiest to make contributions.
Of course, it was also the most dangerous.
It was not easy for Wang Ben to take the vanguard position.
Huan He, Wang Jian, and Yang Duan He led the remaining 250,000 soldiers and followed closely behind.
"Do you think we will die on the battlefield?”
In Wang Li's team of recruits, many of them had worried expressions.
They did not expect that it would be their turn to go to the battlefield so soon. Therefore, these new recruits who had never been baptized by war began to panic at this moment.
Of course, there were also some who were not afraid of death. All of them had excited expressions on their faces. They thought that they would be able to make contributions on the battlefield. They longed to change their destiny.
Even Yi Feng was slightly excited. He also yearned to make a name for himself on the battlefield, and then exchange some cows for his little sister.
"I wonder how little sister and mother are doing at home?”
At the thought of this, he started to miss home a little. He missed the little girl who chased after him and called him big brother all day long. He wondered if his mother's illness had recovered.
"Men, send more people to scout ahead.”
As the army was about to enter the border of the State of Zhao, Wang Ben ordered his men to scout ahead for safety.
After all, this concerned the life and death of the 50,000-strong army. Naturally, they had to be careful.
"General, let me send a group of soldiers to scout the way.”
Wang Li stood up and bowed to Wang Ben.
The other teams had already sent people, but their new team had yet to send anyone. He naturally felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Wasn't this looking down on others?
"Is your new recruit alright?”Immediately, other generals stood up and questioned.
They were naturally worried about letting inexperienced recruits scout ahead. They might expose themselves before they even found the enemy's shadow.
That was why Wang Ben didn't ask Wang Li to send anyone to scout the area.
Wang Ben had brought Wang Li's army as the vanguard because he wanted Wang Li to learn from him and gain more experience and battle merits.
"If there is a problem, I am willing to accept military punishment.”Wang Li said solemnly.
He didn't want to be a mere spectator and follow Wang Ben around.
"Then send a group of soldiers to scout the way.”Wang Ben had no choice but to agree.
"Yes, this general will obey!" Wang Li bowed and replied. Then, he sent out a team of 100 people to scout the way.
Wang Li had sent out the two groups of soldiers that Yi Feng was in. He was also giving Yi Feng a chance to train and make contributions.
The military system of the Qin State was five people in a team, with one team leader, two teams as officials, one team leader, five teams as a village, one team leader, two villages as a hundred, one hundred generals, five hundred people as a five hundred master, and one thousand people as a five hundred master, also known as a thousand people.
Therefore, Wang Li sent out two groups of soldiers, which was a hundred people.
And the four basic positions of sergeant, sergeant, station commander, and hundred generals did not have any salary.
Wang Li's new recruits 'station commander and hundred generals were all veterans, but the sergeant and sergeant were all temporarily selected from the recruits.
After all, if a 10,000-strong army needed veterans for both the sergeant and sergeant, the number of veterans needed would be a little too much.
Yi Feng also became a squad leader because of this. Xiao Shan and Xiao Hu also became squad leaders, and they were also the two squad leaders of Yi Feng's squad.
At the same time, Yi Feng's team was basically all from his village, only two were from another village nearby.
They were all willing to join Yi Feng's group and were extremely respectful towards Yi Feng.
Because they had personally witnessed the scene of Yi Feng killing four large insects with a single sword, being able to follow by Yi Feng's side was also much safer. Therefore, they were extremely respectful towards Yi Feng.
"Xiao Shan, Xiao Hu, bring your men and follow me.”After Yi Feng received the order, he had Xiao Shan and Xiao Hu follow him.
Yi Feng's general was called Zhao San, and he was also an experienced veteran.
After Zhao San received Wang Li's order, he divided his ten men into ten groups and went to the front to investigate the situation.
And Yi Feng and the others also ran forward alone.
Zhao San also followed Yi Feng's team.
Back then, he had also witnessed Yi Feng's power and felt that following Yi Feng's team was the safest. Even if they encountered enemies, as long as there weren't many of them, with Yi Feng around, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Zhao San also knew his own limits. He only followed Yi Feng and did not randomly give orders.
Yi Feng and Zhao San brought Xiao Shan, Xiao Hu, and the others to the border of the State of Zhao.
There were mountains all around the border, and weeds grew everywhere. It was difficult to find enemy spies even with the naked eye.
However, this was not difficult for Yi Feng.
As Yi Feng walked, he used his super strong hearing to check the situation around him. With him as the center, any movement within a hundred meter radius could not escape his ears.
"It's good to have such superb hearing!”
Yi Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As long as he walked along the way, he didn't even need to check to know if there were any hidden sentries or enemy scouts within a hundred meters of him.
Hence, Yi Feng's speed was extremely fast along the way.
Seeing this, Zhao San frowned. He opened his mouth several times, wanting to remind Yi Feng to investigate this way. In the end, he chose to give up after thinking of Yi Feng's terrifying strength.
"There's a situation!"
Suddenly, Yi Feng stopped and said softly to Xiao Shan and the others. At the same time, he indicated for them not to make a sound.
Zhao San also stopped and looked around, but he did not see anything unusual.
Yi Feng only said one sentence before carefully leading the way in front. Xiao Shan and the others also carefully followed Yi Feng closely.
Although they still did not figure out what was going on, they just had to follow Yi Feng anyway.
