After reading the document, Shi Ji frowned and looked gloomy, and said, "Can you know what camp the cavalry sent by the Wei army this time?"

Tao Ji was stunned for a moment. He had just seen how many troops the Wei army had. He really didn't look closely at the cavalry of the Wei army, which number was. It seemed that Tao Huang mentioned it in the report. However, Tao Ji was a little puzzled, is there any difference between which cavalry it was?

"It seems... is there any difference?" Tao Ji recalled, but he didn't remember it, so he asked Shi Ji.

When Shi Ji saw that Tao Ji was completely unfamiliar with the Wei army's organization, but no wonder that Tao Ji lived in Jiaozhou for a long time and naturally did not pay enough attention to the Wei army thousands of miles away. He naturally could not distinguish between the various cavalry and infantry battalions of the Wei army.

He had to patiently spread Tao Ji: "The Wei army's troops were generally divided into two parts, one was field soldiers and the other was county soldiers. Needless to say, the county soldiers were divided into three major corpses, led by three generals Deng Ai, Yang Hu and Du Yu. Currently, Deng Ai's army is stationed in Guanlong, Du Yu's army stationed in Xiling, and Yang Hu's army stationed in Jian'an. The Yang Hu's army currently poses a threat to Jiaozhou, which is the Yang Hu's army. This corps has two cavalry battalions: Xiaoqi Camp and Guoqi Camp, three infantry battalions: infantry battalions, Changshui Camp, and Zhonglei Camp. The main force in the attack on Jieyang this time is the Xiaoqi Camp.

"Xiaoqi Camp and Yueqi Camp, Tunqi Camp is known as one of the three main forces of the Wei army. Yueqi Camp and Tunqi Camp are the second of the five Northern Army's five schools, which were found in the Han Dynasty, but later gradually declined. When Cao Liang first served as the captain of the Yueqi Camp, he reorganized the Yueqi Camp, and later served as the chief clerk of the Northern Army, returning the five Northern Army to his command.

"The Xiaoqi Camp is one of the five main battalions of the Wei army. The father of Cao Liang was Cao Yan, the father of Cao Liang, so during the Gaopingling Incident, the Xiaoqi Camp stood on Cao Liang's side. You should know that the Xiaoqi Camp was adapted from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Cao Cao's command back then. It has always been the most elite unit in the Wei army. The reason why Cao Liang was able to defeat the Sima family was that the Xiaoqi Camp also made great contributions."

Shi Ji obviously knew a lot about the situation in Wei State, so he immediately told Tao Ji about the origin of the cavalry camp, as he knew it.

From one aspect, it can be seen that Shi Ji is indeed familiar with the information of the Wei State. If the Wei army sent cavalry to come, maybe Tao Huang might have the power to fight, but if his opponent was really the Cavalry Camp, then Tao Huang would have no chance at all.

"If the opponent of the nephew Tao Huang is really the Knight Camp, in my opinion, it would be better to order him to be recalled quickly, but I don't know if it's time?"

When he arrived at the border between Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, Wen Qin deliberately asked the Xiaoqian Camp to speed up some of the speed, shook the distance from the main force behind, and blocked the roads around the border. In this way, it would be more difficult for the Wu army to infiltrate the territory of Jian'an County to reconnaise military information.

The reason why Wen Qin made this arrangement was to paralyze the defenders of Jieyang. Wen Qin had already learned in advance that Tao Huang, the eldest son of Tao Ji, the governor of Jiaozhou, led a total of 10,000 troops.

Moreover, Jieyang is not a dangerous place. Most of them are low mountains and hills. If Tao Huang wants to defend it, there is not much steep terrain to rely on. Judging from the current situation of Wu’s defense, Tao Huang’s men are concentrated in Qingmu Mountain in the northeast of Jieyang and Qiniuling in the southeast of Jieyang. It is obvious that Tao Huang wants to build an outer position to guard Jieyang.

After all, although Jieyang is a county town, it is too simple. The so-called city wall is just made of bamboo fences. Such fortifications can be easily destroyed by the Knight Camp, so it is a wise move for Tao Huang not to defend Jieyang.

However, it is quite difficult to block the Wei army with the terrain of Qingmu Mountain and Qiniuling. First of all, the mountains here are not too high and can only be regarded as hilly areas. Such hillsides cannot even stop the advance of the cavalry. This is also a relatively good news for Wen Qin.

The main reason why Wen Qin did not reveal the news that all the members of the Wei army advanced westward was that he did not want to scare Tao Huang away.

Just imagine, if Tao Huang received the news that 80,000 troops from the Wei army were attacking, wouldn’t he be so scared that he would have run away before the Wei army arrived in Jieyang?

That's why the experienced Wen Qin made such an arrangement, letting the cavalry camp march first and act as a separate stance, so that Tao Huang would be lucky and refused to withdraw his troops on his own.

Ten thousand people vs. 18,000 people. Although the Wu army was still half the number of generals, at least the strength of the two sides would not be too great, which undoubtedly gave Tao Huang some hope.

Hope is always expected, but for Tao Huang, this kind of hope seems pretty on the surface, but in fact it has hidden murderous intent. Even if Wen Qin does not rely on other teams of the Wei army, the strength of the cavalry camp alone is enough to win Jieyang.

This was the first battle after the Wei army entered Jiaozhou. In order to boost morale, this battle must be fought well. The Wei army worked hard on an expedition. Only by winning a comprehensive victory can the Wei army's fighting spirit be inspired.

If the Wu army was the first to escape before the war was fought, then the Wei army would be just a happy match.

On the battlefield, the enemy's living forces are often more important than the gains and losses of a city and a place. Wen Qin has long regarded the ten thousand Wu troops in Jieyang as their own things, so how can they easily escape?

Only by letting them have hope can they hold their positions. However, they do not know that the huge gap in combat power between the two sides has long destined their destiny.

Although Tao Huang had the intention to retreat, he could not withstand the temptation and finally chose to stay. He seemed to feel that relying on the advantage of waiting for his leisure to work, he had the strength to defeat the Wei army.

Although Tao Huang had already learned through reconnaissance that the number of the Wei army coming was the Xiaoqi Camp, he really didn't know how powerful the Xiaoqi Camp was. He only thought that the cavalry of the Wei army was the same, but the number was different.

The ignorant is fearless. Tao Huang has never even dealt with established cavalry and has no idea how powerful the cavalry is. In his opinion, the so-called cavalry of the Wei army is not much different from his pedestals. Isn’t it just the soldiers riding on horses? The only difference is that there are very few people in the Wu army with horses, while the Wei army’s cavalry is everyone with horses.

This is probably Tao Huang's impression of the Wei army's cavalry. Without actual combat, he really doesn't know how big the difference between cavalry and infantry is.
