Kabanata 269: Chapter 135: What Does Emperor Qin Shi Huang Look Like? "How Can We Say We Have No Clothes?" (Part 2)

"At this moment, by my estimation, the Zhao Jun inside Handan City should number over three hundred thousand, plus another hundred thousand from the Zhao Frontier Army."

"If it were I setting up the defense, the cavalry of the Frontier Army would all be stationed on the east side of Handan, waiting for our Qin to attack. As soon as Pang Xuan dispatches them for a surprise raid, their unrivaled equestrian archery will become a slaughter for our infantry."

"Our only answer to cavalry is long spears and bows. We can use our superior Qin arrows against the Zhao cavalry from a distance. In close combat, the advantage shifts to our long spears, which are the bane of horsemen."

"Therefore, before attacking the city, we must prepare a large force to deal with these tens of thousands of cavalry," Wang Jian said slowly.

"We can assemble thirty thousand archers and twenty thousand spearmen to deal with these Zhao cavalry," Wang Ben suggested.
