Daqin: I can become stronger by killing the enemy

After Bai Zhong returned to the road to meet Li Xin, he waited for a long time. Geng Wu and Zhang Tang finally came back.

Because the two of them were discovered by Zhao Jun, Meng Tian met them halfway and assisted them in their escape, so they returned relatively slowly.

As soon as they saw Bai Zhong, Gengwu and Zhang Tang quickly knelt down to apologize and explained the whole thing.

"Take the seriously injured warrior down first for treatment and rest."

Bai Zhong did not blame anyone for this incident.

When they discovered Li Mu's ambush, Li Mu also discovered their inquiries. According to the original idea, it was no longer realistic to directly deal with the ambush.

Now that he has been discovered, Li Mu will not continue to ambush where he is.

Wang Li also thought of this and asked: "General, how should we fight? Li Mu will definitely change his strategy, and maybe use his strongest cavalry to meet our forward."

Meng Tian said: "Unless we can win by surprise, what we do will surprise Li Mu."

"Victory by surprise?"

Bai Zhong thought for a long time and said: "Everyone mount up and follow me to fight Li Mu."

He thought Wang Li was right. Now that the ambush had been discovered, Li Mu would definitely change his strategy.

Li Mu would not retreat easily. He might use cavalry to plunder the Qin army's forwards and boost their morale before retreating.

Then what Meng Tian said about winning by surprise can also be used.

The cavalry of five thousand Iron Eagle warriors has not officially appeared on the battlefield. Li Mu must not know how powerful the Qin army's cavalry is.

The location out of the mountain pass is not large, so a large number of cavalry will not be able to use it in battle.

Bai Zhong guessed that Li Mu did not bring many cavalry, and only brought about 50,000 infantry to ambush, and the cavalry should be about 10,000.

Five thousand versus ten thousand, he thought he could fight.

If Li Mu retreats completely, without ambushes or cavalry waiting to fight, and the Iron Eagle Rishi cavalry goes to clear the way, there will be no losses.

Bai Zhong analyzed it in his mind, then turned around and asked: "Li Xin, how many shields are there in the army?"

"Five thousand!"

Li Xindao.

Bai Zhong pondered for a while, then continued to adjust his strategy, and said: "I have seen that the location of the mountain pass is not too big. About five hundred people can walk side by side at the same time. Li Xin, you pick out ten thousand people first, and the five in front

One hundred people raise their shields, and five hundred people are behind them holding long spears. If Li Mu attacks with cavalry, use shields to block arrows and long spears to stab horses. Prepare these 10,000 people first."

When Li Xin heard this, he immediately understood what to do and quickly went to arrange for the ten thousand people.

"Zhang Han continued to lead 10,000 people to protect the grain and grass, and the rest followed the cavalry."

"Li Xin's 10,000 men will go ahead to lure the enemy. Before our cavalry, they will help me consume a group of Zhao cavalry."

"I will give the order when the time comes. When you hear the sound of the drum, you will immediately separate from both sides. I will lead the cavalry to fight out and formally fight Li Mu."

"The sharp soldier who was seriously injured just now is resting with the food transport team."

"Do you understand everything?"

Bai Zhong said loudly.

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Bai Zhong looked at the sky. It was about an hour and a half before nightfall, and ordered: "Let's go!"

at the same time.

Li Mu is on the north side of the road, and the turmoil on the south side of the road has spread to the north.

"All scouts were killed."

"The Qin army came to investigate and was discovered, so they fled into the mountains."

"Wang Jian is indeed not easy to deal with. He guessed all my thoughts."

Li Mu murmured to himself and quickly frowned.

Once the ambush is discovered, it is basically useless. If you persist in ambush, it will be very dangerous and must be evacuated.

"General, what should we do?"

a lieutenant asked worriedly.

Li Mu pondered for a while and said: "All the ambush troops have retreated. The Qin army knows that we are ambushing at the mountain pass and will definitely gather all its strength to rush out. The terrain in front of the mountain is not too wide. There should not be many Qin troops who can rush out at the same time. We

Prepare to use cavalry to fight, but don't be reluctant to fight. Send my military order and let the cavalry prepare first."

The deputy general asked again: "Why can't we just love fighting?"

Li Mu analyzed: "Wang Jian has 200,000 men. If he finds that the forward is intercepted by cavalry, he will definitely attack. We only have 10,000 cavalry. If the cavalry is dispersed by tens of thousands of people and falls into the Qin army, they will die."

"My subordinate understands."

The deputy general said.

After Li Mu's order was passed on, the ambush troops on both sides of the road immediately retreated.

The neat cavalry marched forward with great momentum and blocked the exit of the mountain, ready to fight at any time.

At this time, a soldier came from the direction of Jingxing and said urgently: "General, the king's order!"

He presented a wooden slip.

Li Mu opened it and looked at it for a while, then said with great joy: "Your Majesty has conquered Handan City, and all the grain stored in the homes of nobles and ministers is being sent to Jingxing. After this battle, we will no longer have to go hungry!"

You must know that those nobles are extremely rich, and the food stored at home has been forcibly confiscated. The amount is considerable, which may enable them to survive the most difficult moments.

When the soldiers around him heard this, their morale suddenly increased, and they all wanted to go back and have a full meal after the battle.

"The cavalry is in front, the infantry is behind."

"After the cavalry is killed, the infantry will make up for it. Kill the Qin army's forward, and then we will retreat."

"kill!"

Li Mu adjusted the arrangements again and loudly encouraged morale.

"kill!"

The soldiers behind him shouted in unison, all filled with murderous intent.

——

News of Li Mu's ambush quickly reached Wang Jian.

"It's just as I expected."

Wang Jian nodded.

Yang Duanhe asked worriedly: "General Bai has not been in the army for a long time, and Li Mu is a famous general. Is it really feasible for him to fight against Li Mu?"

Wang Ben didn't think so, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, General Yang. I guarantee that General Bai can defeat Li Mu. Although he has not been in the army for a long time, his ability to lead troops in battle is no worse than ours."

"That's right!"

Wang Jian was also full of confidence in Bai Zhong and said: "Let's continue on our way and wait for General Bai's victory report before setting off!"

Yang Duanhe said nothing more, and the army continued to march.

——

Bai Zhong has arrived near the mountain pass.

Seeing Li Xin arranging the soldiers, Bai Zhong waved his hand to stop the cavalry behind him and said: "Li Xin, you go first, remember what I said, if you can't stop it, retreat. I saw you retreating, I will

Let people beat the drums, and then lead the cavalry to charge out."

"only!"

Li Xin responded.

Then he commanded the soldiers to fight towards the mountain pass in an orderly manner.

This group of soldiers, also trained by Bai Zhong, was neat and orderly, and the whole army moved forward without any disorder.

Out of the mountain pass.

"coming!"

A lieutenant reminded.

Those who came were still infantry.

It seems that the Qin army is really going to storm out of the mountain pass.

Li Mu squinted his eyes and felt that what was happening now was not much different from what he thought. He waved his hand and said: "Attack!"

Ten thousand cavalry rushed forward quickly.

Li Xin stood behind the first row of shield bearers. Hearing the sound of horse hooves approaching, he was about to enter the range of ordinary bows and arrows. He said decisively: "Raise the shield."

The Zhao army cavalry in the front row was just drawing their bows and drawing arrows.

The rain of arrows was immediately blocked by the shields, and then the cavalry got closer and closer. Since the bows and arrows were helpless, they were ready to violently break through the Qin army's shields.

Li Xin looked at the movement in front and said again: "Chang Ge, come on!"
