Looking at the faint dust and smoke falling behind the mountain col, and then looking at the Qin army still resisting in front of the mountain col, Li Mu knew that it was still a step too late for him to hurry up and hurry up.
At the last mountain col outside Fangling City, he still failed to block the way of the Qin army.
On the road ahead, there was no place to stop like the mountain col in front of him, and it was even more impossible for him to catch up with the Qin army.
Li Mu sighed softly, but he was unwilling to give in.
After spreading out the map, Li Mu began to study it again, and less than a hundred meters in front of him, the Zhao army and the Qin army were fighting each other.
This time the Qin army obviously spent a lot of money, leaving nearly ten thousand people behind, blocking the mountain col tightly. Obviously, Zhao Jun would not be able to pass without destroying most of them.
It was supposed to be the best position to block the Qin army's return, but now it became the best position to block the Zhao army's pursuit. Not for a while, Zhao Jun was really helpless against them.
Amidst the sound of swords, a new plan had been formed in Li Mu's mind.
"Here comes someone." Li Mu suddenly raised his head.
"Yes!" The two soldiers beside him immediately agreed.
"Go and call Zhao Wei back." Li Mu immediately ordered.
"Yes." A messenger immediately agreed.
In order to break the Qin army's line as soon as possible, Zhao Wei also personally joined the queue.
It's a pity that the terrain of the mountain col is not suitable for cavalry sprints. Otherwise, with heavy cavalry in hand, they would not be afraid of the Qin army's attack.
"Arrange people to capture a few Qin soldiers and ask their generals for their names and where they are from." Li Mu then ordered another soldier: "Hurry."
"Yes." Another soldier also immediately took the order.
"Instruct the rear army to collect five hundred sets of Qin army uniforms for me." Li Mu continued to issue orders.
"Yes." Another soldier agreed.
Immediately, the three soldiers ran into the fighting formation in front.
In just Li Mu's time of thinking, the front line had already advanced several meters into the mountain col. It should be said that this speed was no longer slow. At least compared to previous battles, it was already several times faster.
However, in Li Mu's eyes, it was still too slow.
Of course, Li Mu also knew that the soldiers below had tried their best. The Qin army on the other side was at the end of its strength, and his own army had been fighting for several days.
War is always a battle of willpower.
Fortunately, the Zhao army, which had won two consecutive victories, was able to stabilize the Qin army in terms of morale alone. This is one of the reasons why Zhao Jun was able to advance so quickly.
Soon, amid the shouts of killing, Zhao Weiti slipped his bloody long knife in front of Li Mu.
"General Li." Zhao Wei clasped his hands and saluted.
"Yes." Li Mu stepped forward, patted Zhao Wei on the shoulder, and asked, "Can we still fight?"
"Of course!" In an instant, Zhao Wei's eyes were filled with the desire to fight.
"Okay." Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, then pulled Zhao Wei to the map, pointed at one of the thick lines, and said: "The Qin army fled all the way, and its destination was clearly Fangling. It's a pity that our army arrived late. He took a step forward and failed to intercept the Qin army. At this time, it was too late to attack Fangling in a detour."
"There is only one way to completely eat up this Qin army." Li Mu said and looked at Zhao Wei again.
"General Li, just give the order." Perhaps feeling Li Mu's burning eyes, Zhao Wei also raised his head and replied firmly.
"Yes." Li Mu immediately said without any nonsense, "I will hand over my five hundred soldiers to you. You all put on the Qin army's clothes and armor, climb over the mountain, and follow the Qin army. It would be best if we can follow the tail of the Qin army into Fangling. If not, we can pretend to be the stragglers at the rear and call for the gate of Fangling to be opened. After half an hour, our army will arrive. No matter what method we use, we can open the city gate. door and occupied it. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Zhao Wei licked the corner of his mouth and nodded seriously: "The final general will definitely complete the mission."
Of course he understands that this is a mission with a near-death mission, but the general has even contributed his own soldiers, so what else is there to say? Just do it.
Of course, in such a favorable situation, Zhao Wei should not have taken such a risk for the sake of tens of thousands of Qin army remnants.
But what Li Mu wanted was more than tens of thousands of Qin troops and a city of Fangling.
"After my army arrives, the Qin army will definitely retreat again. You must find a way to continue to stick to it while it is dark. I will also send troops to follow. I will follow suit and attack Shangyong, Wuling and other places." Li Mu As he spoke, he used his hand as a pen to draw a thick mark on the map.
"What is the general's intention?" Zhao Wei looked at Li Mu with some surprise, even astonishment and asked.
"Yes, I want to use this group of Qin army to defeat the army and completely penetrate the Hanzhong road, thus cutting off the Qin army's communication between Guanzhong and Shuzhong." As he said this, Li Mu's eyes suddenly glowed with light.
The difficulties of the Shu Road were also transformed into invisible things in this glimmer of light.
Hanzhong has been integrated with Shuzhong since ancient times, and is also known as the gateway to Shuzhong. If it is really captured in one fell swoop, there will be no large army in Shuzhong, and there will be no natural dangers outside. It only takes one general to have tens of thousands of troops, and it can be decided in one battle. Shuzhong.
Once it loses the granary of Shuzhong, the Qin State will not even have the capital to wage war. It will be surrounded by almost three sides, and it will have no choice but to defend its homeland in Guanzhong and make a desperate struggle.
It can be said that this battle
And this is why Li Mu wants to let General Zhao Wei take the risk and follow the Qin army at all costs.
As if sensing the surging will in Li Mu's heart, Zhao Wei immediately clasped his fists again and replied: "General, don't worry, I have tried my best."
At this time, two more soldiers came to Li Mu's side.
"General." One of the soldiers gasped and said with clasped fists, "I've already asked."
"Speak." Li Mu said immediately.
"The Qin general who is blocking the attack in front has the compound surname Shentu, but the single name is Fei. He is from Hexi." The soldier replied immediately.
"Hexi people?" Li Mu nodded silently, and then asked, "Have you prepared your armor?"
Another soldier immediately replied: "It's ready."
Nodding, Li Mu then looked at Zhao Wei and continued to give instructions: "There are several people among my soldiers who are from Hexi and Hedong, which is in line with the Qin army's recruitment practice. All of these people will be handed over to you. However, There is no need to pretend to be a soldier, otherwise you will be censored. Just let your local accent gain a foothold in the city."
"The general will understand." Zhao Wei immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay." Li Mu nodded and ordered, "Put on your armor and leave on your own without asking for permission."
"Yes." Zhao Wei clasped his fists again.
Immediately, Zhao Wei, who was carrying a long sword, led Li Mu's soldiers to change their clothes.
With just a cup of tea, the five hundred elites followed Zhao Wei around the frontal battlefield and began to climb the mountain.
After all, they were the most elite troops in Li Mu's hands. They were able to climb mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground, which actually increased Zhao Wei's confidence by several points.
Along the way, Zhao Wei also explained the purpose of the trip clearly to the soldiers one by one.
Li Mu's soldiers were all excited when they thought about the unparalleled achievements they were about to make.
It's just that this excitement is hanging on a body covered in blood and with tattered armor, which is more or less weird.
However, now is obviously not the time to suppress this excitement.
Zhao Wei wanted to take advantage of this excitement to catch up with the Qin army as much as possible. .z.
Because the Qin army's formation was in chaos at this time, especially the main army, which had fallen behind one after another. If they could catch up with the rear of the Qin army, entering the city would be much easier.
They don't have to pretend to be the rear army. After all, just knowing the general's name and place of origin can still be easily exposed.
Moreover, it is still far away from Fangling City, and the long journey will quickly consume this excitement.
Obviously, Zhao Wei and his elite soldiers
Zhao Wei's foot power was much faster than that of the Qin army. Although he was nearly half an hour behind the Qin army and had to climb an extra mountain, Zhao Wei quickly caught up with the Qin army.
It was a transportation team carrying grain and grass. The Qin army only had about a hundred people, and more of them were civilians.
Effortlessly, Zhao Wei strangled the Qin army lagging behind in a valley on the spot.
Of course, before being strangled, Zhao Wei also dug up all the information about this group of Qin soldiers. Although the leader of the Qin army was unwilling to answer, the civilian men explained the situation one by one like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.
It's a pity that although these civilians have cooperated enough, and most of them are from the Chu region, Zhao Wei still ruthlessly raised the butcher's knife in order to keep the operation secret.
Immediately, more than 200 people put on the military badges of the Qin Army again, and more than 300 people were asked to put on the clothes of civilian husbands, and hid their swords in grain bags. The group of more than 500 people changed their faces and completely integrated into the army. into the Qin army's fleeing array.
With Minfu's information, it would be difficult for Zhao Wei and his party to discover any flaws unless the direct leaders come to identify the person.
Of course, just in case, more than 500 people also accelerated their pace in case the Qin army in front really sent people to look for them. After all, they still had a lot of food here.
This is crucial for the fleeing Qin army. After all, a mere Fangling city may not have enough food.
Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour after Zhao Wei and others accelerated and rushed out of the valley, the Qin Army's cavalry came to check the situation.
However, after the Qin Army cavalry saw that the grain truck continued to move safely and unharmed, they ordered to speed up and then disappeared on the road ahead.
This round of Qin cavalry gave Zhao Wei and others a false alarm.
After all, the main force of Zhao Jun was still intercepted outside the mountain col. Once he was discovered, there was no possibility of survival, even if his five hundred soldiers were all the best among the best.
But fortunately, Qin Jun obviously did not expect that Zhao Jun would make a fool of himself. After all, Zhao Jun, who now has an overwhelming advantage, did not need to take such a risk.
In this way, without any danger along the way, Zhao Wei and other five hundred elites followed the footsteps of the Qin army and walked unhurriedly from dawn to dusk.
Finally, as the sky gradually darkened, Zhao Wei and others almost entered the coveted Fangling City under the protection of the Qin Army's cavalry...
