Chapter 695: It Is as Fast as the Wind and as Aggressive as Fire! The Time Left for Da Zhao Is Running Out!

Just when Yan Wangxi and Qi Wangjian were planning and arranging their own plans.

Zhao Guo has already unleashed his heavy punch!

February 26, the fourteenth year of the reign of Emperor Qin.

A Fukou River has witnessed the birth, rise, prosperity and decline of Zhao State.

Today, an elite and brave soldier of the Zhao State once again set foot on this mountain road that has many meanings to the Zhao State, stepping on the soil where their ancestors were buried, and roaring.

"Go first! Go first!"

"The crossbow arrows are diffused, suppressing the enemy!"

"There are enemies on the mountain road on the left, they are surrounding and outflanking!"

Two hundred and forty thousand Zhao troops were arrayed on the east, south, and north sides of Shexian County, completely blocking the already narrow mountainous terrain.

Li Mu rode his horse and stood on a mountaintop in the east of Shexian County, looking down at the entire battlefield with calm eyes, and constantly mobilized his soldiers to rush in all directions.

The reinforcements coming from all aspects of the Qin State were completely blocked by Li Mu's troops.

Shexian County had to rely only on the more than 10,000 defenders in the city to resist Zhao's 60,000-strong attack every round, which lasted from sunrise to sunset!

In just three days, corpses were everywhere outside Shexian County!

Suddenly, Li Mu turned his eyes to the right and shouted: "Order!"

"All soldiers and horses in Beicheng stop resting and attack!"

After giving the order, nearly 20,000 Zhao troops arrayed outside the North City Gate roared in unison:

"kill!"

While shouting and shouting, nearly 20,000 Zhao troops charged forward without hesitation and stormed the city wall along the ladders erected by the robes.

The 60,000 Zhao troops stationed outside the North City Gate quickly got out of their barracks, picked up their weapons, and headed toward the North City Gate for reinforcements.

Under Zhao Jun's fierce attack without hesitation, the insignificant omissions in the north city of Shexian County were continuously expanded and expanded, eventually forming a huge loophole that could not be repaired!

"Hold the ladder and expand outward!"

"My dear fellows, follow this general and seize the Wengcheng Horse Road!"

"Da Zhao, Wan Sheng!"

Accompanied by the roars of the Zhao soldiers, more and more Zhao soldiers climbed up the city wall via ladders, constantly turning She County into the color of Zhao.

Finally, the Great Qin Black Bird Flag at the top of Shexian County fell into the dust.

The North City Gate and Beiweng City Gate of Shexian County were opened one after another.

Tens of thousands of soldiers gathered on the north side of Shexian County swarmed in through the opened city gate.

The decline will be difficult to reverse!

Captain Sima Shang excitedly waved his right fist: "Cai!"

"Big win!"

"Capturing Shexian County in three days is really a great joy to boost the morale of the army!"

Lieutenant General Le Jian even sighed from the bottom of his heart: "In just half a month, our army captured most of Fukouxing."

"This move can scare the world!"

"It can even make the ministers in the court look at him with suspicion!"

"Jun Wu An, how brave you are!"

A surprise battle showed Li Mu's blitz ability to its fullest.

Le Jian couldn't help but think in other people's shoes.

If you stand on the opposite side of Li Mu, how can you resist Li Mu's attack?

But even though Le Jian was thinking hard, he couldn't come up with a solution!

Regardless of vision, acumen or hard power, Le Jian, who once claimed to be the top general of the Yan Kingdom, could not compare with Li Mu.

There was no moment in Lejian when I was more grateful than now that I had chosen to abandon Yan and join Zhao.

Otherwise, if Li Mu leads his troops to attack Yan in the future, what awaits Lejian is destined to be a disastrous defeat!

The remaining generals also excitedly raised their hands and shouted: "General, congratulations to the commander!"

However, Li Mu's expression was very calm: "The loss of a city or a place is not important."

"Our army must seize Licheng and Luoyang City as quickly as possible before the main force of the Qin army arrives."

"In this way, we can capture Fukouxing and take advantage of Fukouxing's danger to confront the Qin army!"

"This general has received a military report. The commander of the Qin army in this battle is Qin Chang'an Jun's son Cheng Xi."

"Although I have never faced off against Lord Chang'an, I have heard of Lord Chang'an a lot."

"During the previous battle between Qin and Zhao, Lord Chang'an's raid on Handan City shocked me even more."

"Calculating the time, the defenders of Qin Taihang's camp should have arrived near Fukouxing."

"The guarding general of Qin Taihang's camp is Qin General Yang Wengzi. This man is also an experienced and prudent general."

"Don't be careless!"

Li Mu didn't think there was anything worthy of praise in this battle.

Blitz combat was nothing more than a tactic Li Mu used when fighting against the Huns.

The results obtained through blitz tactics are not the ultimate goal of this battle, but are just the means needed to achieve the goal.

Li Mu needed to quickly seize multiple strategic locations with a blitz before Qin, Yan, Qi and other countries could react.

And use the important cities of Licheng and Luanyang City to control Fukouxing and Qingzhang River. Only in this way can we open up the road from Zhao State to the hinterland of Taihang Mountains and gain an advantage in the next war!

All the generals raised their hands solemnly: "Wei!"

However, as soon as the shouts fell, a group of scouts galloped back on their horses, shouting: "Repay!"

"Qin General Yang Duanhe has led the Qin Taihang Camp garrison to Luanyang City!"

"There are about 80,000 Qin troops in Luoyang City today!"

After hearing the news, the Zhao generals looked solemn.

The 80,000 Qin army was not many compared to the 600,000 Zhao army.

But in the narrow mountainous terrain, these 80,000 soldiers and horses were enough to stop the Zhao army for a period of time.

More importantly, these 80,000 Qin troops mean that Qin has responded and completed its preliminary military strategy.

Soon after these 80,000 Qin troops arrive on the battlefield, the main force of the Qin army will also rush to the battlefield quickly.

Zhao Guo's first-mover advantage is about to disappear!

Le Jian said without hesitation: "There is a fork in the road dozens of miles west of Shexian County."

"The forked road leads to the north, which is Luanyang City."

"The road that forks to the west is Licheng."

"And after Luoyang City and Li City, they are both Changzhi areas."

Le Jian solemnly raised his hands and said, "General, please lead a group of elite soldiers to attack overnight, cross the fork in the road, go west, and take Licheng directly!"

"Then, the general Mo's troops marched westward to the Changzhi area, and then detoured from the Changzhi area to the north, cutting off the Qin general Yang Duan and his troops' food and grass."

"The commander, Lord, will head north along the fork in the road to Luoyang City."

"With our army flanked from both sides and cut off from food and grass, Luanyang City will be destroyed!"

Le Jian gave a very solid strategy.

Lejian led the vanguard to avoid Yang Duan and his Qin army's advance troops, and quickly captured Li City.

After capturing Li City, Zhao's army could advance into Changzhi, break away from the mountainous terrain, and maximize Zhao's military advantage.

If you retreat, you can attack north along Changzhi and cooperate with Li Mu's troops to completely surround Yang Duanhe's troops and devour them all!

However, Li Mu shook his head: "Luoyang City and Licheng are both important towns."

"Qin generals Yang Duan and You Shanshou are also."

"Since this general has reached Luoyang City, he will not relax his defense against Li City."

"If this general's troops want to reach Li City, they will be faster than our army."

"So if my general's prediction is correct, Licheng is already heavily guarded by Qin's troops."

"The defenses in Qili City are probably heavier than those in Luoyang City!"

Yang Duanhe's character traits were obvious. Li Mu didn't think that such a partial general would have such a big flaw in his best defense.

When this obvious flaw was placed in front of Li Mu, Li Mu decided without hesitation that this was not a flaw, but a trap!

The scout repeatedly said: "Report to the commander!"

"We saw with our own eyes Qin General Yang Duanhe standing at the top of Luanyang City."

"Qin General Yang Duanhe is undoubtedly in Luanyang City!"

"There are indeed 80,000 defenders in Luanyang City!"

Le Jian frowned slightly: "The Taihang camp has only 70,000 defenders."

"Luoyang always prepares county soldiers, plus Cao Cao and others to eliminate thieves."

"If there are indeed 80,000 Qin troops in Luoyang, Qin general Yang Duanhe may not be able to reinforce Li City."

"Commander, please lead the troops to Licheng first to seize the opportunity."

"At the end of the day, we will send a thousand scouts to go ahead and find out the reality of Li City before attacking the city."

Don't blame Le Jian for being eager.

In fact, the significance of Licheng is too great.

And in this stage of fighting quickly, half an hour of struggle may determine the ownership of Licheng!

Li Mu smiled softly: "Qin General Yang Duanhe is good at defense but not good at attacking. He likes safety but is evil in taking risks."

"Now Qin General Yang Duanhe not only stationed all his troops and horses in Luoyang City, but also took the initiative to be noticed by our army. This must be a strategy to confuse the enemy."

"If my prediction is correct, Lord Qin Chang'an has arrived in Licheng!"

Li Mu's men were only scouts, not waiters. It was not easy for them to identify the generals of this army by using their flags. How could they see Yang Duanhe himself?

It’s not that Li Mu despises or doubts those who are waiting for him.

But they don’t have that ability!

But it happened that Zhao Junhou had found out everything about Yang Duan and his troops.

There is no doubt that Yang Duanhe's move was intentional!

Yang Duanhe just hoped that Zhao Jun would think that Licheng was empty and lead Zhao Jun to attack Licheng!

Why did Yang Duanhe dare to lead Zhao Jun to attack Licheng?

The only reason is that Ying Chengyu has arrived in Licheng and is waiting for Li Mu with a big net!

Sima Shang said in disbelief: "Of course, there is not enough time!"

"Even though our army recruits young men and transports grain and grass for many days, the distance between our army and Fukou Xing is much closer than the distance between Qin Chang'an Jun and Fukou Xing!"

"Even if Lord Qin Chang'an rushes all the way, it is impossible to lead the main force of the Qin army to Licheng at this moment!"

Li Mu said solemnly: "Don't think about what Chang'an Lord did based on what ordinary generals do."

"Since Chang'an Lord set foot on the battlefield, Chang'an Lord has done so many things that no one in the world would have imagined."

"Just because others can't do it, doesn't mean Changan-Jun can't do it!"

Le Jian was slightly startled, and then said fearfully: "What Mr. Wu An said makes sense!"

"The only one who can make Qin General Yang Duanhe dare to take such risks is Lord Qin Chang'an!"

"Now that Lord Chang'an has arrived with his troops, what should our army do?"

After Li Mu pondered for a moment, he spoke slowly: "Our army must cross the Taihang Mountains no matter what, in order to turn passivity into initiative."

"make!"

"The King of Chang led an army of 100,000 to withdraw from Fukouxing, go south along the Zhangshui Great Wall, enter Baixing along Qi County, and then enter Taihang via Baixing!"

"Captain Sima Shang led 80,000 troops to Licheng to find out the reality of Licheng."

"The rear army swept the battlefield and stabilized She County."

"The rest of the troops will rest immediately. We will cook at the beginning of Pingdan tomorrow (3:00) and set off at the end of Pingdan (5:00)!"

"hurry up!"

"Break the sun quickly!"

Li Mu looked around at the generals and said solemnly: "The time left for me, Great Zhao, is running out!"

Some generals who were paying attention to the affairs of the DPRK could hear Li Mu's worries, but more generals could only hear Li Mu's rare urgency and anxiety.

But all the generals suddenly handed over their hands: "Wei!"
