Chapter 710: Wu Anjun Wants to Borrow a Knife to Kill My Troops! The Bones that the Friendly Forces Can't Bite, Let My Troops Bite Them!

Although the generals of the Qin army didn't understand why Ying Chengyu's face was still so heavy.

But the advantageous situation of the battle still made them smile.

On the other hand, Zhao Jun.

Although they had an overwhelming military advantage over the Qin army, the Zhao army officers and soldiers were in a heavy mood.

After Ren You paced around Li Mu for a long time, he finally couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "May I ask the commander, where is the ambush of our army?"

Li Mu said quietly: "Our army has no ambush."

Although Ren You had already guessed the answer, when Li Mu told him this answer, Ren You was still stunned, and then asked angrily: "Then why did the commander just order the last general to withdraw his troops to lure the enemy?"

"In order to appear in a panic and flee, our troops were in chaos when they just withdrew."

"Although the Qin army did not pursue them, after our army withdrew, more than a thousand Pao Ze died due to trampling or even killing each other!"

"Coach, that's more than a thousand lives!"

"Since the commander-in-chief didn't arrange an ambush, why did he make such a big sacrifice for his troops and pretend to run away in embarrassment!"

"Mr. Wu An wants to borrow a sword to kill our soldiers!"

Those are all his hands and feet!

This is Ren You’s strength and confidence to gain a foothold in the military!

If they died to help Li Mu complete his plan, Ren You would admit it.

After all, no one is immortal in a war, and both Ren You and the soldiers have been mentally prepared.

But Ren You couldn't accept the meaningless deaths of his brothers and sisters!

Li Mu looked at Ren You with cold eyes: "Are you a sergeant?!"

Ren You was slightly startled.

Through Li Mu's words, Ren You already knew what Li Mu wanted to say.

But Ren You could still only answer: "The last general is a sergeant."

Li Mu said solemnly: "Since you are a sergeant, you must abide by military discipline and execute the general's orders!"

"Captain Ren just needs to know that your sacrifice is worth it, and our army will surely win the final victory!"

Li Mu did not have the habit of explaining military strategies to his generals.

Li Mu also had no intention of cultivating a younger generation of generals for Zhao.

He only needs his generals to carry out his orders well, instead of taking matters into their own hands at critical moments just because they have learned a little bit from him!

Ren You opened his mouth, but had no choice but to say: "Wei!"

Li Mu looked at the other generals again, and his voice deepened: "Set up camp on the spot and rest the entire army!"

"Tomorrow we will make rice at the beginning of the week (3:00) and break camp at the end of the day (5:00)!"

Although all the generals had a lot of thoughts in their hearts, they all raised their hands: "Wei!"

When the generals dispersed, Li Mu's lonely figure was swallowed up by the night.

Without holding a torch, Li Mu looked at the firelight coming from the direction of the Qin army's camp in the west, frowning: "I lured the enemy deeper twice."

"The second time we lured the enemy deeper, we didn't even arrange an ambush. It was no different from a real retreat."

"According to Qin Changanjun's temperament, even if I have hundreds of thousands of troops under my command and Qin Changanjun only leads tens of thousands of troops, Qin Changanjun should still rush forward and take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle, or even try to win in one fell swoop."

"Why didn't Lord Qin Chang'an even give chase and just sat back and watched my general lead his army to leave?"

"Why did Lord Qin Changan suddenly become so conservative?!"

The retreat of Hu Qiong's men was used by Li Muzai to judge whether Su Jiao was alone or just part of an ambush circle.

If there is no other general behind Su Jiao, then according to Su Jiao's temperament, he is likely to get into the encirclement arranged by Li Mu.

The defeat of Ren You's troops was Li Mu's test of Ying Chengyu.

In order to prevent Ying Chengyu from being aware of the danger, Li Mu was under great psychological pressure and strategic risks and really did not arrange an ambush!

In Li Mu's view, if Ying Chengyu was taking command behind Su Jiao, he should pursue Ying Chengyu one after another according to his temperament!

At least they will try to hunt down a section in order to expand the results.

But.

No!

Su Jiao's troops never stepped outside the scope of Hou'ao Mountain!

Ying Chengyu's caution in this battle was completely different from Ying Chengyu's previous fighting style, and it was far beyond Li Mu's expectations.

If he hadn't personally seen Ying Chengyu lead his army into battle, and even had a pre-battle exchange with Ying Chengyu, Li Mu would have even doubted whether the general in charge of this army was actually Ying Chengyu!

But why!

Li Mu's brows frowned deeply subconsciously: "This general is just a general who has been fighting against the Huns for many years."

"Although I once defeated the Yan State, I defeated Qin General Jian by a small margin, and defeated Qin General Jiao in formation. I was named Lord Wu'an by the king."

"However, I was restrained by Lord Qin Chang'an during his many expeditions against Qin. He was even attacked by Lord Qin Chang'an and captured the city of Handan. He had to call off his troops and make a truce. He failed to expand the territory for our great Zhao."

"Looking at the overall situation, this general is just the defeated general of Lord Qin Changan."

"Qin Chang'an has no reason to be afraid of me, let alone become cautious when fighting against me."

"Then what is the reason why Qin Jun reacted like this!"

Although the rush to Licheng for reinforcements had already eliminated Ying Chengyu's almost god-like aura in Li Mu's heart.

But Li Mu still didn't think he was qualified to be compared with Ying Chengyu, let alone that Ying Chengyu would be afraid of him.

Why should he? ! !

Why would he, Li Mu, let a current general who destroyed three kingdoms, defeated five kingdoms, captured Handan, and forced Li Mu to retreat and sue for peace, be so afraid of him!

The conflict between reality and logic is completely irreconcilable.

Deep doubts lingered in Li Mu's heart.

Even when the military camp became noisy again and Li Mu's shoulders were stained with heavy morning dew, Li Mu's doubts were still not relieved.

"Commander?" Hu Qiong rode close to Li Mu and asked softly: "Commander, have you not slept all night?"

"There is still half an hour before the scheduled camp is moved. Commander, do you want to take a rest first, and let us organize the soldiers to have breakfast and prepare for battle?"

Li Mu pulled himself out of his deep thoughts, and then shook his head and said: "I am full of energy."

"Have the troops of Hu Duwei rested properly?"

Li Mu's answer was vague, but his question was terrifying.

Hu Qiong immediately didn't care whether Li Mu slept or not yesterday, and answered carefully: "After yesterday's defeat, the morale of our soldiers has been unstable."

"After a night of rest, our troops have recovered some physical strength, but the morale of the army is still low."

"But if the commander needs it, our troops can also undertake ordinary tasks."

In yesterday's battle, Hu Qiong's troops suffered more than 40% casualties!

Although the remaining soldiers of Hu Qiong's troops rarely saw the scene of their comrades dying in battle.

But the empty tents reminded every soldier that the comrades who once lived here, ate, slept and trained with them, had died in battle!

If another tough battle came quickly, Hu Qiong's troops might collapse without a fight!

So Hu Qiong was very careful in his words. He didn't want to disappoint Li Mu, but he didn't dare to accept the general's order. He showed an attitude of being willing to serve Li Mu but really powerless.

Unfortunately, Li Mu may have understood the hints and attitudes in Hu Qiong's words, but he was too lazy to pay attention to these twists and turns.

Li Mu just nodded slightly and said: "Good."

"Order the troops of Hu Duwei and Ren Duwei to stay in the central army today."

"Prepare for battle and wait for orders!"

Hu Qiong's mouth was bitter, and he even wanted to slap himself.

Let you be rude!

What are you asking!

The order is coming!

But what can Hu Qiong do? !

Hu Qiong could only bow his hands and say: "Yes!"

Li Mu ordered again: "Send the order to Duwei Zhao Mao."

"Lead the troops to march westward!"

At Li Mu's order, Hu Qiong and all the Zhao generals cast sympathetic eyes on Zhao Mao.

However, Zhao Mao bowed his hands solemnly: "Yes!"

Unlike Hu Qiong, who had only followed Li Mu for a few years, and unlike Ren You, who followed Li Mu to fight in this battle, Zhao Mao had already followed Li Mu for more than ten years and dozens of times.

Zhao Mao had sufficient trust in Li Mu.

Zhao Mao had only one response to Li Mu's order, which was - execute!

Under Zhao Mao's firm will, a Zhao army troop that was more elite than yesterday, though wearing similar armor, stepped on the flesh and blood of their comrades and set out on the road to the west again.

Zhao Mao held a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, riding a horse in the middle of his headquarters, and repeatedly ordered: "Shield soldiers line up on the right, crossbow soldiers string their crossbows!"

"Don't panic when the battle is about to begin..."

Before Zhao Mao finished speaking, a burst of rapid crossbow string sounds had already exploded!

"Bang bang bang~~~"

Zhao Mao raised his head and looked at the rain of arrows flying at him, his voice became more and more firm: "Raise your shield!"

"The front troops retreat, and the middle troops line up a forest of spears to fight back!"

"The hard bones that the friendly troops can't bite, let our troops bite them into powder!"

"Kill!!!"

Under Zhao Mao's order, the spearmen on the right side of Zhao Mao's middle troops formed a thin and long forest of spears, and used it to make room for the front troops to escape.

The front Zhao army retreated quickly, trying to avoid being divided into two.

Seeing this, Su Jiao shouted without hesitation: "Rolling stones, fall!"

Dozens of rolling stones that were made in a hurry were thrown together, jumping and rushing along the steep cliff towards the Zhao army below.

"Get out of the way!"

"Left... No! The rock is jumping! Right... Ah!"

"Don't panic! Keep the formation! Those who mess up the formation will be killed!"

Facing the rocks rolling down from the top of the mountain, the human instinct for survival urged the soldiers to get out of the way.

But the shining sword of the general behind them forced them to stay where they were.

More than a hundred Zhao soldiers were smashed into meat paste by the rocks.

But when Su Jiao led the infantry to arrive, Zhao Mao's spear forest had returned to stability!

Su Jiao curled his lips and could only shout: "Use me as the spearhead."

"Charge in a dense formation!"

Su Jiao's infantry shrank behind Su Jiao, forming a spearhead with Su Jiao as the sharpest.

Stab the Zhao army!

And finally cut off the middle section of Zhao Mao's front, trapping more than 2,000 Zhao soldiers in the encirclement!

Zhao Mao ignored the soldiers who fell into the ambush, and his eyes were always on Su Jiao.

Seeing that Su Jiao was indeed charging again, Zhao Mao shouted without hesitation: "Shield soldiers form three layers of shield formation and surround the enemy captain densely!"

"Crossbow soldiers target the enemy captain and shoot!"

"Stop all costs and kill the enemy captain here!"

This battle is more of a long-planned battle for the mountains than an ambush.

Since the beginning of the battle, the intensity of this battle has reached a fever pitch!

The soldiers are screaming.

Blood is gushing.

But Li Mu showed no sign of sending reinforcements!
