Yanyu, the Qin army’s camp
The Qin army's camp, which was previously filled with horses, fences, and even kerosene traps, was now extremely dilapidated.
About two-thirds of the horses outside the camp have been pulled out, and several kerosene traps and empty tents have been burned to bury the enemies who attacked at night.
Only the fence was still intact, but this integrity was due to the fact that there was a layer of wooden boards outside the fence built outside the camp to defend against arrows. The wooden boards were densely packed with arrows, which showed the fierceness of the Zhao army's offensive.
Li Mu, who originally didn't want to fight a tough battle, had to fight a tough battle with heavy losses, but there was really no other way.
Li Mu really couldn't worry about Hu Zhe on the southern front. Although Hu Zhe was also a veteran general of the Zhao State and had rich experience, he was facing Wang Jue, who had twice as many troops as him.
Wang Yan was the general who commanded the first half of the Qin-Zhao Shangdang Battle and the Changping Battle. He defeated Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng and Lian Po and retreated in succession. He lost Shangdang and lost two defensive lines, which made Lian Po helpless. Don't stay within the walls.
Wang Ye, a famous general who is good at attacking, faced off against Hu Zhe. Although Hu Zhe was considered half a famous general, he was still far behind Wang Ye.
He is inferior to generals in terms of talent, and one to two in terms of military strength. In terms of elites, Wang Ye also has the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army under his command, as well as a group of young generals from the Qin State's young and strong faction. He really doesn't know that Hu Zou can persist in this situation. how long.
Therefore, his requirements for Hu Zhe were not high. In his worst-case scenario, the four cities of Zhongmou, Yecheng, Pingyang, and Wucheng could be lost, but the Zhaonan Great Wall must not be lost.
Otherwise, even if he defeated the Qin army on the southern route, it would be difficult to repel the Qin army.
…
"This Wang Ben is obviously still a young man, but why doesn't he have the blood of the tiger and wolf Qin?"
Sima Shang looked at the Qin army's camp, which was dilapidated but still strong, and was very angry.
These days, the Zhao army has been attacking the Qin army camp almost non-stop, but with this solid defense facility, the new Zhao army soldiers who lack experience in attacking fortresses cannot attack the camp at all.
There was no way, no matter how Li Mu sent his soldiers to provoke and abuse him, Wang Ben never stood firm. Those soldiers even insulted all the elders of the eighteen generations before Wang Ben, but Wang Ben remained indifferent.
Of course, the reason why the elders of the nineteenth generation counting forward were not scolded was because that ancestor was Prince Jin of King Zhou Ling.
When he was a child, Prince Jin of King Ling of Zhou Dynasty was talented, gentle and knowledgeable. He did not admire wealth and honor, but loved music. His music was as beautiful as the song of a phoenix.
Jin Pinggong sent Shi Kuang, a famous and famous musician at that time, to see him and asked him what was the way to govern the country. Prince Jin quoted extensively and talked eloquently, which made Shi Kuang admire him. He died young due to illness and had no chance to succeed, and then his son Zong Jing Changed to Wang.
After all, Li Mu still had a bottom line. He insulted a wise prince of the Zhou family who was recognized by various schools as having died young. Not to mention his uneasy conscience, he was afraid that he would really be sprayed to death by the historians and Confucians afterwards. .
But when his son scolded his father and then his ancestors, Wang Ben seemed not to care.
People who can do this are either unfilial or shameless, or they are strong and steady people who can tolerate things that ordinary people cannot.
Obviously Wang Ben is the latter.
"You are already a famous general at a young age. Qin has so many famous generals! Is it true that God is blessing Qin?"
Li Mu had no choice but to order Zhao Jun to increase the intensity and frequency of attacks.
However, the 10,000 Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Soldiers made Zhao Jun's new soldiers see why the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Soldiers are called the strongest heavy armored infantry of the Qin State, and the 100 Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Soldiers were Zhao Jun's nightmare. .
The Soul-Chasing Arrows, which can split into twenty sub-arrows, make fifty Hundred Wars God's Machine Crossbows form a covering rain of arrows, and one hundred Hundred Wars God's Machine Crossbows can form a gap that is even more severe than that of archers. A continuous and extremely wide-covering arrow rain.
Looking at the fallen Zhao Jun, Li Mu's heart seemed to be bleeding and he clenched his fists.
Looking at Zhao's sons facing the showers of arrows, their casualties only resulted in the continuous destruction of the defenses in front of the Qin army's camp, and they could not even hurt the Qin army.
The Zhao army's crossbows did not cause much damage to the Qin army. After acquiring iron mines from Han, Wei, Chu and other countries such as Yiyang and Anyi, the Qin army now has the strongest iron ore reserves among the princes in the world. s country.
Thousands of wooden shields, leather shields, copper shields and iron shields were erected around the camp, erected next to a famous robe Ze. Although some people were still shot and fell to the ground, the casualties were really not enough to see.
But even in the face of this situation, Li Mu had to drive these Zhao army's new soldiers towards the Qin army's camp like ducks on the shelf.
Because this is the fastest way for these new recruits to transform. Even if it is the most casual, bloody, and cruel method, Li Mu must do the same.
Compassion does not command troops.
The State of Zhao can still recruit at least 200,000 young men, and can also lower the age limit for enlistment. If it fails, there will still be old, young, women and children, but there is only one in the State of Zhao, just like what was done by Wang Jue and Wang Ling decades ago. When attacking.
However, Li Mu suddenly felt flustered, flustered for no reason, as if something unexpected had happened, and it was definitely not a good thing.
Intuition is an elusive thing, but no one dares to ignore it, especially the intuition on the battlefield, and veterans who have been on the battlefield dare not ignore the intuition that appears on the battlefield, especially those who have bad premonitions.
Taoists say that it is the three souls and six souls of human beings that sense danger and send early warning to themselves. In short, almost all schools of thought have an explanation for this intuition that is in line with the meaning of each school, but no matter what explanation , the final conclusion drawn is that it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.
But the Qin army on the north route has the 150,000 Dai border troops to deal with it. No matter how incompetent the Qin army on the south route is, it can still hold on for a month, right?
Could it be Wang Jian?
Before Li Mu could think about it, a Zhao Jun scout, covered in blood and with two arrows stuck in his back, rushed straight into the commander's tent.
"General, the Qin army on the west route is divided into 50,000 troops, led by Ren Xiao and Feng Jie, and crosses the Zhang River to capture Shexian County!"
Sima Shang and Zhao Cong looked at each other, looked at the map and confirmed the location of Shexian County again, Zhao Cong said angrily: "Damn it, the Qin army divided its troops and went south to go straight to the capital!"
"No, this is a good thing!"
"Ren Xiao and Feng Jie led 50,000 people south to attack Danhan. This means that Wang Jian only has 30,000 Qin troops left! In addition, there are less than 15,000 people left outside the city. The Qin army here under Wang Ben’s command is less than 45,000!”
Li Mu pointed at the Qin army's camp with a riding whip and shouted: "This is a fighter plane!"
"If we can behead Wang Jian, Wang Ben and his son in one battle, it will be a heavy blow to Qin and the Qin army will retreat!"
