In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and only the faint starlight falls on the ground.
The shadows of the trees were whirling, and under the cover of Xu Lin's formation, black shadows quickly shuttled between the mountains and fields, approaching the Yan Army camp.
In the distance, the lights of the Yan Army camp were extinguished, and the black shadows formed by the tents stretched like mountains, stretching from several miles away to the foot of the mountain.
In order to prevent Zhao Jun from sneak attacks, Qing Qin and Ju Xin deliberately placed the granary on the high ground behind the camp, and deployed 10,000 troops for defense around it.
Li Mu already knew the Yan Army's peripheral layout. He led his army to bypass the Yan Army's main camp from a distance and kept approaching the granary.
The granary is not heavily guarded. There are only two soldiers watching outside the gate. Through the fence, you can see a team patrolling inside from time to time.
"Whoosh!"
A sound of breaking wind sounded, splitting into two arrows in mid-air and piercing the sky. The two guards guarding the camp fell to the ground.
"Kill me!"
Without saying a word, Li Mu directly held up the battle formation. Fiery red war clouds swept across and illuminated half of the sky. At the same time, the talent shrouded the Yan Army camp.
"balance!"
This time Yan Jun did not disappoint Li Mu. With the blessing of his talent, Zhao Jun's body size instantly increased. Muscles swelled rapidly as if they were inflated. His momentum was rising steadily. His weapons and armor exuded a pale golden light, and there was even a half-force. The momentum of the infantry soul.
The Zhao army waved their weapons and rolled over the Yan army like a flash flood that burst a dam.
"boom!"
A golden moon blade tens of meters long fell from the sky, instantly smashing the Yan army's camp to pieces and plowing a crack more than one meter wide on the ground, which spread deep into the camp.
"Enemy attack!"
A shrill scream resounded through the Yan Army camp. The Yan Army soldiers did not even have time to put on their armor, so they picked up their weapons and hurriedly rushed out of the barracks. Then they were covered by Zhao Jun's arrow rain, "Puff puff!" Poof!" The cold arrows washed down from the sky like raindrops, with no place to hide. Screams rang out one after another, and soldiers continued to fall to the ground after being struck by arrows.
"Don't panic, everyone, follow me to defend against the enemy." Ten thousand generals of the Yan army roared, and a layer of khaki war clouds rose up, connecting the Yan army into one.
Under the organization of tens of thousands of generals, densely packed soldiers came from all directions to form battle formations for orderly defense.
"Follow me to break the formation!"
Li Mu roared, killing a thousand generals of the Yan army and the guards around him with one shot, and rushed into the Yan army's battle formation on his body. The Yan army's already unstable defense line suddenly collapsed.
Under the light of the war clouds, the Yan Army's camp was as bright as day. Li Mu quickly found the location of the Yan Army's granary and led Zhao Jun to rush over. Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jun quickly dispersed and took out barrels of tung oil from his horse. Throwing it towards the tent where food and grass were hidden.
"Hurry, drive Zhao Jun out quickly, don't let them set fire." Tens of thousands of people in the Yan army were furious when they saw Zhao Jun's actions, and they rushed towards Zhao Jun while waving their weapons desperately.
If Zhao Jun is allowed to order food and grass, Yan Jun will be completely ruined. Even if he has ten heads, it won't be enough to chop him off.
"Die."
A golden light suddenly appeared silently from the right side. Tens of thousands of people in Yan's army spat out a mouthful of blood as if they had been hit hard, and fell to the ground unwillingly. The war in Yan's army collapsed instantly. The soldiers lost their fighting spirit and fled around. .
"Don't get entangled with the Yan army. Mainly burn the food and grass." Li Mu ordered, and he was addicted to killing. He actually planned to chase and kill the two teams of the Yan army.
"what happened?"
Qing Qin strode out of the military camp wearing pajamas.
"General, Zhao Jun attacked our army's granary." The lieutenant general said anxiously.
"Quick, summon the army to support immediately, we must keep the food and grass." Qing Qin's expression suddenly changed, and before he had time to grab his armor, he picked up his weapon and rushed towards the granary.
"boom!"
At this moment, a ray of fire rose from the ground, and the flames jumped tens of meters high, turning half of the sky red, as if stained with blood.
"It's over!"
When Qing Qin saw the light of the fire, he was stunned and his mind went blank.
"Brothers, retreat!"
When Li Mu saw that the food and grass had been ignited, he shouted excitedly, covered by the strong wind, and quickly escaped into the distance.
"Chase me, don't let go of any Zhao Jun." Qing Qin came back to his senses, trembling with anger, and said extremely angrily.
"Don't chase, don't chase. Put out the fire quickly, as much food as you can save." Ju Xin quickly stopped him.
The other generals wanted to chase Zhao Jun, but after hearing what Ju Xin said, they immediately understood that what Ju Xin said was right.
It is too late to chase Zhao Jun now. He will not be able to kill a few people at all, but will lose the final time to save food and grass.
Although the food and grass have been ignited now, it will take some time to spread to all the camps. If the Yan army seizes the time, there is at least a chance to save a small part of the food and grass.
"What a pity." Li Mu looked back and found that Yan Jun did not pursue him, and sighed, "It seems that Yan Jun has someone who understands."
By the time Li Mu returned to Dai City, Yan Ju and Sima Shang had already left Dai City.
"Everything went well." Li Mu said with a smile when he saw Uncle Li hesitate to speak.
When Li Bo heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if it succeeds, it's good if it succeeds. In this way, we can defeat the Yan army just around the corner."
…
Two hours later, the fire was finally completely extinguished.
"How much food and grass are left?" Qing Qin slumped on the ground without any image, with traces of smoke on his face and arms.
"Six days." The general whispered.
"Six days... haha. Starting today, we will be fully defensive. In addition, we will inform the source to send food, and then send people to Jicheng to ask for help." Qing Qin said bitterly.
From now on, the Yan army will have no hope of capturing Dai County.
"I wonder what's going on in Xiangguo." Ju Xin murmured, looking to the south. Now he only hopes that good news can come from Lifu. However, thinking that Li Fu was facing the main force of the Zhao army, Ju Xin suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
The partial armies of the Zhao army they faced had such strength. How strong will the main force of the Zhao army be!
"After all, the Liaodong Jianbing is still in the hands of the Prime Minister, so it shouldn't matter." Ju Xin comforted himself. The Liaodong Jianbing was the king's card, and it was not comparable to ordinary legions.
Five days later, an urgent message came from the rear: Shanggu Pass was occupied by Zhao troops.
"How could Zhao Jun appear in Shanggu Pass? You are a spy sent by Zhao Jun!" Qing Qin grabbed the messenger by the neck and lifted him in front of him with one hand. His red eyes stared at him like a lion. The roaring voice was a little hoarse.
"General...General...really...I don't dare to lie to you..." the messenger said tremblingly, his body struggling constantly, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from Qing Qin's hand.
"How many people are there in the Zhao army?" Qing Qin asked in a deep voice.
"Five...about five thousand."
"Five thousand? Did Zhao Jun fly over? Do you dare to say that he is not a spy of Zhao Jun?" Qing Qin's fingers suddenly exerted force, and there was a crisp "click" sound, and the head of the messenger fell down weakly.
"Pull it down." Qing Qin threw the messenger on the ground and said coldly.
The guards beside him silently dragged the body of the order soldier out, not daring to say a word. Since the food and grass were burned, Qing Qin's character became more and more irritable. This was not the first soldier to be killed.
"If it's Zhao Feiqi, it's really possible. Taihang Mountain is so big. In addition to Puyinxing and Feihuxing, there must be other trails, but we don't know about them. Ordinary legions may not be able to walk on these trails, but Zhao Feiqi It's different. Zhao Feiqi led by King Wu Ling back then could jump across even a river tens of meters wide," Ju Xin said.
When he was young, he and Pang Nuan served under the King of Wuling and saw Zhao Feiqi at his strongest. In Ju Xin's view, Zhao Feiqi at his peak was a legendary existence. Even the Liaodong Jian soldiers had their own abilities. Not as good as.
"There was news from the source a few days ago that a Zhao army cavalry fought all the way from Hongshang Pass to the source, and then detoured north from Lingqiu." said a general nearby.
"How many people are there in this cavalry regiment?" Ji Xin asked.
"About five thousand people."
"It's very likely that it's Zhao Feiqi. If it's really Zhao Feiqi, it's almost impossible for our army to take it back due to the terrain of Shanggu Pass." Ju Xin sighed.
"Then what should we do now?" Qing Qin asked in a deep voice.
"Ask for help from the king, and then wait for the reinforcements. The king will not leave us alone." Ju Xin said.
This is half of Yan's army, and King Yan may give up no matter what.
"Our army has no food and grass. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on until the king comes to rescue us." Qing Qin shook his head and said.
The Yan army originally only had more than a month of food and grass. After Li Mu burned most of it, plus what was left from sources, there was less than twenty days of food and grass left. Now five days have passed, and there are only about ten days left. of food and grass.
When the news reached the State of Yan, the King of Yan ordered the recruitment of soldiers, captured Shanggu Pass, and transported grain and grass here so that they could collect the corpses for them.
"Extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times. My subordinates suggest that we send troops to plunder all the villages in Dai County to raise food and grass." A lieutenant general said with his fists clasped.
Under normal circumstances, except for foreign races going south, countries would not do this kind of thing, because their purpose is to occupy this land, not to go back after a sweep.
But now Yan Jun can't care about so much. If he talks about etiquette and morality, he really can only wait for death!
"A few days ago, Zhao Jun had already withdrawn all the people into the city." Ju Xin said. Only now did he understand why Zhao Jun had withdrawn all the people into the city. Unfortunately, it was too late!
"Bang!" Qing Qin punched several cases and said in a deep voice, "Then let's go south or west."
Whether it is Jizhou in the south or Yanmen and Jinyang in the west, the Yan army can plunder a large amount of grain and grass. At the worst, they can negotiate with Zhao Jun and let Zhao Jun let them go back.
"Now Lingqiu and Hongshangguan have probably been occupied by the Zhao army. Although Li Mu is young, he is impeccable in his work. Even the people around him can notice it. There is no reason why he can't notice Lingqiu and Hongshangguan." Ju Xinchen said the voice.
"Could it be that... we can only wait to die?"
A breath of despair instantly filled the entire camp...
"General, Zhao Jun... General Zhao Jun is outside the camp... saying he wants to meet the general." At this time, a guard rushed in in panic.
"General Zhao? Li Mu! How dare he come?" Qing Qin suddenly stood up and walked out angrily.
The other generals quickly followed.
"Is something wrong, General Li?" Qing Qin came outside the camp. When he saw Li Mu, his face suddenly darkened and his hands clenched into fists.
After this battle, Li Mu will definitely become famous all over the world, and he is the stepping stone under Li Mu's feet. The one that others mocked when they mentioned Li Mu.
Every time he thought of this, Qing Qin wanted to rush out and kill Li Mu.
"If I'm not wrong, your army may not have much food and grass. And counting the time, we should have received the news that Shanggu Pass has been occupied by our army. It is meaningless for your army to continue to resist. It is better to surrender. .”
Li Mu looked at the generals of the Yan army and said slowly.
There was a sudden sound of chaos in the Yan Army camp, and the soldiers looked panicked. They had not known the news that Shanggu Pass had been occupied before, but everyone knew what it meant!
When Li Mu saw Yan Jun now, he couldn't help but remember that when he was in Changping, Zhao Jun's retreat was cut off by Bai Qi in this way. At that time, the entire Zhao Jun fell into despair.
In the end, Zhao Kuo forcefully convinced Wei to form an alliance with Zhao, and then South Korea and Chu also formed an alliance with Zhao. Then, the four kingdoms attacked Qin, forcefully reversing the defeat, and captured four counties of Qin.
At that time, Li Mu and Tian Dan were kings in the wild. After hearing about this incident, even Tian Dan was extremely shocked and praised Zhao Kuo many times.
But no one will save the Yan Army now. Although the Yan Army still has four allies, it is a pity that each of them is thousands of miles away, and they are all blocked. Let alone not being able to catch up, it is already too late even if they catch up!
The lone army of Yan Army is destined to be trapped and die here.
"Don't listen to the enemy's nonsense. Shanggu Pass has always been in the hands of our army. Although our army lost some food and grass a few days ago, it has re-transported food and grass. Now it is very sufficient." Qing Qin said loudly.
He cursed at Li Mu in his heart. He had originally planned to reduce the soldiers' food intake to delay, but now he had no choice.
If everyone eats less at this time, it will inevitably cause panic or even mutiny.
After hearing Qing Qin's words, although there was still some doubt in the eyes of the soldiers, the discussion was much quieter. After all, they must still trust their country's coach more than their enemies.
"General Li, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. I have something else to do." After saying that, Qing Qin turned and left.
"General, do you want to send someone to chase him?" the lieutenant said in a low voice.
"The opponent is a cavalry, why are you chasing him?" Ju Xin said angrily.
On the tenth day, Li Mu appeared outside the Yan Army camp again.
This time, most of the soldiers believed Li Mu's words, because the porridge in the army was getting thinner and thinner.
On the twelfth day, deserters appeared in the Yan army.
On the fifteenth day, Li Mu received the news from Zhao Kuo that the Lifu Army had surrendered. He was immediately overjoyed and shot the news into the Yan Army camp. He also sent people to shout outside the camp: "Lifu Army of 150,000 people." Already surrendered.”
There were more deserters.
On the sixteenth day, the Yan army surrendered!
"This is a replica of the Battle of Changping." Zhao Kuo said with emotion as he looked at the battle report in his hand.
In history, the Zhao army was surrounded in this way in the Battle of Changping. Now it was the turn of the Yan army.
This kind of membership-level treatment is not something that ordinary people can enjoy!
"The strong troops in Liaodong were destroyed and the 250,000 troops surrendered. Where will our country, Yan, go!" Jiang Qu said in pain.
"Now if we want Zhao State to withdraw its troops, we need to add the families of one hundred thousand soldiers." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.
"Please ask Mr. Zhao to wait for a few days, and I will rush back to report to the king." Jiang Qu said in an almost pleading tone.
"I will give you three days, sir." Zhao Kuo said.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." The general bowed and saluted, and rushed towards Jicheng overnight without taking a rest.
