Chapter 703 How Dare He Chase and Kill My Troops! It Was Li Mu Who First Asked for an Answer in Front of the Battle!

Ying Chengjiao's infantry could not keep up with the speed of the cavalry.

The Licheng defenders and the noisy troops led by Commander Ren Xiong were left far behind by Ying Chengjiao.

There were only two thousand cavalrymen still following behind Ying Chengjiao!

But Ying Chengjiao was still charging.

Even with only two thousand cavalrymen behind him, Ying Chengjiao was still charging at the more than 60,000 Zhao troops!

"Kill!!!"

While roaring, Ying Chengjiao thrust out the long halberd in his hand again.

The back of the neck of the Zhao army commander was visibly concave, and then it was pierced by the halberd tip.

Seeing that the halberd tip had rolled up, Ying Chengjiao pulled out the long halberd without hesitation, and raised his right arm violently, causing his upper body to bend like a full moon.

After aiming at a Zhao army commander of 200 to 500 in the distance, Ying Chengjiao's right arm muscles bulged and threw out the long halberd in his hand with force.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a cry of grief, the long halberd in Ying Chengjiao's hand hit the back of the 2500-man Zhao army.

The long halberd with a curled blade could not penetrate his body, but the strong force knocked him off his horse!

Then, he was trampled into a piece of minced meat by the Zhao soldiers who fled forward!

Ying Chengjiao didn't even look at the 2500-man Zhao army. After throwing out the long halberd, he shouted:

"Rotate the sharp arrows!"

Su Jiao rushed forward quickly to take over Ying Chengjiao's position. With a sudden sweep of the long halberd in his hand, he swept away the long spears that stabbed at Ying Chengjiao.

Bafuo handed over a long halberd that he didn't know whether it was taken from the enemy or the friendly army, and whispered: "Master, take a rest."

Bafuo didn't know how many enemy soldiers Ying Chengjiao had killed.

Bafuo only knew that five long halberds had been used by Ying Chengjiao until the blades were curled!

Ying Chengjiao took the halberd, panting heavily, and looked back at his comrades behind him and asked: "Can the comrades still hold on?"

Peng Cheng and other family soldiers shouted in unison: "We can still fight again!"

The fortune teller whispered: "Eighty percent of the comrades are already using the second spare horse, and dozens of comrades are already using the last spare horse!"

The narrow pass limits the range of contact with the enemy.

Except for a small part of the relatively wide terrain such as the inside of Licheng City, most of the road section of Fukou Pass is only enough for five or six people to stand side by side, and only three or five cavalrymen can be deployed.

So after Ying Chengjiao took on the most difficult task of the front arrow, the combat pressure of the cavalry under Ying Chengjiao was not too great, and they could take turns to rest from time to time.

The ones who really couldn't bear it first were the war horses under their crotches.

"Are you already using the last spare horse!"

Looking up at the sun that had not yet set, Ying Chengjiao felt a little heavy.

Once Ying Chengjiao's troops showed their weakness, the Zhao army could strike back at any time.

Although it was only a possibility, the desperate comparison of the enemy's and ours made Ying Chengjiao unable to bear the possibility of a reversal of the situation!

Taking the water bag from the horse's back, Ying Chengjiao sipped the warm water that was similar to the body temperature of the warhorse.

After a moment of hesitation, Ying Chengjiao jumped on his spare horse and shouted solemnly: "Order!"

"The whole army changes spare horses!"

"The arrows rotate!"

With a squeeze on the horse's belly, Ying Chengjiao rushed to the front of the army again.

The newly replaced long halberd glowed orange-red in the afterglow of the setting sun, and was lightly sent into the back of the neck of a Zhao soldier by Ying Chengjiao.

Then Ying Chengjiao suddenly exerted force with both arms, allowing the halberd blade to cut the man's neck, and then stabbed the halberd handle into the temple of another Zhao soldier on the left!

The warhorse knocked away the corpses of the enemy soldiers who had not yet fallen down, and Ying Chengjiao shouted angrily:

"Follow me, speed up and kill the enemy!"

Two thousand cavalrymen all changed their horses and shouted excitedly:

"Kill!!!"

For a while, the speed of the Qin cavalry chasing and killing was a little faster.

Ying Chengjiao no longer took killing the enemy as his responsibility, but just broke the formation and left the scattered Zhao army to be slaughtered!

Sima Shang turned back and looked at the big banner behind him with more confusion and vigilance.

"There are the sounds of golden drums and Qin flags on both sides of the cliff."

"But why are there still no ambushes and no rolling stones falling!"

"Qin Chang'an Jun is particularly good at fire attacks, and at least 100,000 troops disappeared from my sight."

"Why didn't Qin Chang'an Jun order the ambush troops to set up a sea of ​​fire on my way back to annihilate my troops!"

Early spring is already cold.

The galloping warhorse brought a fierce cold wind, blowing away Sima Shang's anxiety and despair.

But reason could never climb back into Sima Shang's brain.

The military strategies Sima Shang had learned throughout his life, the various strange things that Ying Chengjiao had done since he came out, and the judgment Sima Shang made through rational thinking, all told Sima Shang that Ying Chengjiao might have just arrived at the battlefield as Xing Zhe said.

But after Ying Chengjiao drove Sima Shang's troops out of Licheng, he continued to chase them at full speed, which made Sima Shang unable to believe his judgment and even dared not make the slightest attempt.

If Ying Chengjiao really didn't make a perfect arrangement, why would he dare to chase him in person!

Sima Shang couldn't risk the lives of tens of thousands of his comrades when he didn't even believe in his own judgment!

"Report!" A squad of scouts rushed towards Sima Shang against the flow of people, shouting excitedly: "The commander has led the reinforcements to ten miles ahead."

"We will soon meet up with our troops!"

Sima Shang was immediately inspired and shouted hoarsely: "All troops, speed up!"

"Quickly join forces with the commander!"

This sentence is more effective than any order!

The speed of Sima Shang's troops suddenly increased, and every Zhao soldier was running as fast as he could!

Finally, a big banner appeared in front of Sima Shang.

Li Mu, the Lord of Wu'an of Zhao, had already led 50,000 elite troops to gallop!

"Coach!" Sima Shang's eyes were slightly red, and he cried out sadly: "General, I can't trust the coach!"

Five feet in front of Li Mu, Sima Shang reined in his horse. Sima Shang rolled off his horse and fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face!

When Li Mu saw this, he couldn't bear it and was very sad.

In Li Mu's opinion, Sima Shang ranks at least among the top five in today's Zhao Dynasty in terms of military strategy and character.

Li Mu had never seen this iron-clad son cry.

But it's just a siege!

It was just a small-scale siege battle in which neither the Qin nor Zhao armies suffered heavy casualties!

Sima Shang's mind and self-confidence were crushed by Ying Chengyu from the inside out.

Li Mu knew that Sima Shang was not crying because of the defeat in the battle.

But because of the huge blow, I have doubted myself, doubted my life, and lost the motivation and confidence to live!

He collapsed!

Li Mu shouted angrily: "Get up!"

Sima Shang raised his head and then stood up slowly.

Li Mu rode his horse past Sima Shang and said in a steady and firm voice, "Mount the horse!"

"Return to the formation!"

"No need to pay attention to anything else, no need to think about anything else."

"General, we have arrived!"

The war horse raised its hooves and moved forward. Li Mu stood in front of Sima Shang. While taking over Sima Shang's command, he also took up the responsibilities that originally belonged to Sima Shang.

All Sima Shang has to do is stand behind Li Mu and obey Li Mu's orders!

Sima Shang suddenly felt much relieved.

Wiping away his tears, Sima Shang suddenly handed over his hands: "General, obey the order!"

Li Mu did not give Sima Shang any more comfort, but just rode his horse to the front of the Zhao army.

The setting sun tenaciously shed its last light, making the young general in gold armor and red robes and the middle-aged general in gold armor and white robes look at each other from a distance.

Li Mulang shouted loudly: "It's dark and the road is steep. It's difficult to move with few soldiers."

"Chang'an Lord has no ambush and is attacking all the way. Why not withdraw your troops quickly to recover your strength?"

"Chang'an Lord, you can rest assured."

"Thinking of Chang'an Lord's contribution to the world, I will not pursue him!"

The soldiers under Li Mu's command roared in unison, allowing Li Mu's words to cross hundreds of feet and be transmitted faithfully into the Qin army's formation.

Ying Chengyu shook off the Zhao Jun who was stuck in the blade of his halberd, and said in a calm voice: "It came quickly enough."

"make!"

"Stand on the horse!"

Su Jiao pulled the reins and stopped half a step behind Ying Chengyu, and asked nervously: "Your Majesty, has this general seen through the reality of our army?"

"I would like to end my life for you, please come back quickly!"

It's no wonder that Su Jiao was nervous, it was actually what Li Mu said that was right and certain.

Isn't it true that Ying Chengyu has no ambush and is attacking with only a few soldiers to fight?

Ying Chengyu shook his head and asked in a thoughtful tone: "How confident does Su Duwei think Lord Wu An is in what he just said?"

After recalling Li Mu's tone, Su Jiao solemnly said: "At least 70%!"

Ying Chengzhong smiled again: "I thought it was only 30% at most."

"Otherwise, Lord Zhao Wu'an will not stop Zhao Jun from moving forward!"

If Li Mu was sure that Ying Chengyu would not ambush, why didn't he let Zhao Jun turn around and attack?

This is war!

War in the Warring States Period!

Li Mu is just a general!

It is impossible for Li Mu to spare Ying Chengyu's life because of his contribution to the world. He will only take advantage of Ying Chengyu's fatigue to launch a thunderous strike!

Su Jiao couldn't understand so many plans, but when he saw that Ying Chengyu had come to this conclusion, he excitedly said: "Then, general, please be the vanguard and charge forward for a while to increase the power of our army!"

Ying Chengyu shook his head again: "I don't know whether Lord Zhao Wu'an has an ambush."

"If our army continues to charge into the formation, it will appear too anxious."

Su Jiao was stunned: "Then what should our army do?"

Fight but not fight, retreat but never retreat.

So what should we do!

Ying Chengyu smiled: "Isn't Mr. Wu An already demonstrating?"

It was Li Mu who opened the formation and answered the question first!

If I don't respond, wouldn't it be a waste of my lobbying ability?

Riding his horse and walking forward slowly, Ying Chengji said loudly: "Spring plowing is coming, and everything is competing for growth."

"Wu'an Lord has Wu'an City and Dai County that need farming, and the Zhao army officers and soldiers also have land that needs farming. Why not quickly withdraw the troops and return home to farm."

"But they delay the farming season, delay the autumn harvest, tear up the alliance, and sneak attack on our great Qin!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jun couldn't help but feel a little strange.

The people of Qin need to farm, and the people of Zhao also need to farm.

There is still food in the treasury of the State of Zhao, but it does not mean that there is still food in the Zhao family.

Now that spring plowing is around the corner, no one except Qi people wants to go home and farm safely!

The officers and soldiers of the Zhao army inevitably felt a little resentment towards the State of Zhao.

Li Mu's mood became a little more serious.

Li Mu hoped to further test Ying Chengyu's truth through his questioning.

But I never thought that although Ying Chengyuan had proved that Ying Chengyuan was right with his actions, he did not give any effective information with his words. Instead, he raised a difficult problem!

Li Mu could only say coldly: "Qin is tyrannical and greedy!"

"If I, the State of Zhao, only do farming, when the autumn harvest comes, your Qin State will definitely send troops to attack my State of Zhao, seize my food, kill my people, and destroy my home!"

"In order to protect the food that the people of our country have worked so hard to cultivate, we, our country, will do whatever it takes!"
