Chapter 720 The Survival of Qin Jun Is More Important than the Death of Li Mu! Ya Xi Ya Xi, Do Not Eat the Warriors!

When Ying Chengyu saw Qiang Huai's troops retreating, Ying Chengyu felt regretful but calm.

Ying Chengyu thought that an earthquake would be enough to completely collapse Zhao Jun!

The troops of Ying Chengyu and Qiang Huai who flanked the Zhao army did not need to endure a fierce battle. They only needed to block the way out and receive surrendered troops.

But Ying Chengyu underestimated Li Mu's control over his soldiers.

The Qianghuai troops had to stick to Wujianao and resist the Zhao army's continuous attacks like a storm.

It is a miracle that Qiang Huai's troops could persist for three days with only more than 4,000 soldiers!

Ying Chengyu really couldn't ask for more.

Ying Chengyu just lamented that Li Mu was worthy of being Li Mu. Even if Ying Chengyu used black gunpowder and other powerful weapons, he still could not completely wipe out Li Mu's troops!

Then he began to think about how to use the victory to launch the next attack - yes, not only Li Mu thought that this battle was over, but also in Ying Chengyu's view, this battle was also over.

But the rising fire in the distance told Ying Chengyu.

This battle is not over yet!

Ren Xiao excitedly raised his hand and said, "General, I thought that even if our army fought hard for several days, and even the commander ordered the earth dragon to stand up, Zhao Wu'an Jun's troops would still be able to successfully break through."

"I never thought that there would be an ambush to the east of Zhao's army, setting fire to an ambush, cutting off Zhao's retreat!"

"Coach, great plan!"

Meng Nan even praised: "After Zhao Jun broke through Qiang Duwei's command, he must have been excited and relaxed his vigilance."

"However, just when Zhao Jun thought that the battle was decided and his way out was clear, he was surrounded by fire again!"

"The name of coach Zhu Rong's reincarnation is known all over the world!"

"Zhao's army will surely tremble when they see the fire, and they will be too frightened to fight!"

"Coach, what a great talent!"

In the eyes of all the Qin generals, this must be a killing move arranged by Ying Chengyu!

When Zhao Jun paid a huge price and thought he had successfully broken through, setting the ambush on fire was enough to defeat Zhao Jun's last will to fight.

Defeat Zhao Jun!

Ying Chengyu remained silent for a few breaths before speaking: "This ambush was not planned by me."

Meng Nan smiled: "Before the main force of our army arrives, Yang Wengzi is already rushing to support the Zhangshui Great Wall."

"If this ambush was not set up by the commander, where could it have come from!"

Ying Chengyu frowned slightly: "I am also thinking about this issue."

Seeing that Ying Chengyu didn't look like he was joking, all the generals looked shocked and hurriedly started discussing.

If the mountain fire was set by friendly forces, Ying Chengyu's troops could naturally advance immediately and cooperate with the friendly forces to annihilate Zhao Jun.

But if the mountain fire was set by Zhao Jun, it must be Zhao Jun's strategy to lure the enemy!

During the discussion, dozens of Qin soldiers rolled and climbed down the mountain and rushed into the Qin army's formation.

"Report!" Sima Chang, who was disgraced and shot twice, shouted loudly: "Where is the school order?!"

"This general has urgent military information to report!"

There were thousands of disciples in the military academy, and it was difficult for Ying Chengyu to remember clearly.

However, Sima Chang is the great-great-grandson of Sima Cuo, the former captain of the Great Qin Dynasty, the grandson of Sima Jin, the confidant of Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the great ancestor of Sima Qian, the official secretary of the Han Dynasty who wrote "Historical Records". He is also the contemporary of the Sima family of the Great Qin Dynasty. The clan leader can be regarded as one of the representatives of the old aristocratic group of Da Qin.

It is difficult for Ying Chengyu not to focus on this person.

Seeing Sima Chang in the distance, Ying Chengyu had a suspicion in his heart and hurriedly said: "Eight husband, bring Sima Baijiang here quickly!"

With Bafu and several other soldiers opening the way, Sima Chang was able to quickly reach Ying Chengyu.

Ying Chengyu couldn't wait to ask in a solemn voice: "If I remember correctly, General Sima Bai is practicing guerrilla tactics with Captain Peng."

"Why did you suddenly appear here!"

Sima Chang allowed the blood to drip, and he cupped his hands with a gasp and said: "Qi, Qi, the school order!"

"Our troops noticed something was wrong at Fukouxing, so we rushed to our aid at starry night."

"Five hours ago, the captain of our department ordered all our soldiers and horses to gather towards Fukouxing. He ordered the soldiers and horses of each department to pour the oil they carried on both sides of Fukouxing to set up a fire scene, and asked the captain Qiang Huai to persist. Five hours to give our army an opportunity to deploy."

"Now that the time has come, Commander Qiang Huai's troops have retreated. Our troops should have been inserted into the battlefield under the leadership of our commander, taking over from Commander Qiang Huai's troops."

"When I was humbly delivering a message, I encountered an enemy blocking the way. Although I fought to the death, I wasted time."

"I hope the school will punish you!"

Ying Chengyu was greatly surprised, and then laughed heartily: "Cai!"

"Big win!"

"Peng Yue lives up to his mission!"

Ying Chengyu never expected that Peng Yue's guerrillas would swim to Fukouxing and block Li Mu's withdrawal channel!

Ren Xiao, Meng Nan and other generals finally came to their senses.

It turns out that the ambush to the east of Zhao Jun was not set up by Ying Chengyu.

The mountain fire was not set off by Ying Chengyu, but by Peng Yue.

But all the generals raised their hands with increasing admiration: "The coach knows things like a god! He knows people with his sharp eyes!"

"With this fire as our support, our army will definitely annihilate Lord Zhao Wu'an's troops."

"I'm waiting to congratulate the commander!"

Ying Chengyu smiled and waved his hand: "This battle has not yet been decided, so stop gossiping!"

"Since Captain Peng Yue's troops have been blocked behind Zhao Jun, our troops must not miss such a good opportunity!"

"This general wants to eliminate a serious problem for our Great Qin in this battle!"

"Send the general's order!"

However, before Ying Chengyu's order could be spoken, a shrill roar came from the west.

"Report!"

Ying Chengyu suddenly looked back and saw five messengers running quickly, escorted by his own soldiers.

"Report to the coach!"

The messenger bowed and shouted: "Zhao Duwei Sima Shang's troops led 20,000 elite infantry to attack Licheng from the east!"

"My Licheng County Magistrate is leading troops to resist the Zhao army's siege."

"However, Sima Shang's troops are full of fighting spirit and fearless of death."

"The battle situation is not optimistic!"

"Licheng begs the commander to send troops to rescue!"

The smile on Ying Chengjiao's face disappeared, and he asked in astonishment: "From which direction did Zhao Duwei Sima Shang's troops attack Licheng???"

The messenger hurriedly repeated: "East of Licheng!"

Ying Chengjiao murmured in disbelief: "East of Licheng?!"

"Is the plan of Zhao Wuan Jun so dangerous!"

On the premise that Ying Chengjiao's troops blocked Fukou Xing, 20,000 troops suddenly rushed out from the east side of Licheng and launched a fierce attack on Licheng.

This was far beyond Ying Chengjiao's expectations.

Because this plan is too dangerous!

If something goes wrong, Sima Shang and his 20,000 elite troops will be wiped out!

But the risk is proportional to the benefit.

If Sima Shang's troops can seize Licheng in the chaos, then Sima Shang's troops can completely block Ying Chengjiao's troops in Fukouxing, and cooperate with other Zhao troops to annihilate Ying Chengjiao's troops!

After a moment of silence, Ying Chengjiao no longer hesitated and said: "Order!"

"Captain Ren Xiong, Captain Meng Nan, and Captain Qiang Huai will lead the middle and rear armies to advance quickly towards Licheng."

"We must defend Licheng to the death, and we must not lose it!"

"The front army will continue to follow me and kill the enemy to the east!"

Although Sima Shang was fooled by the empty city plan, Ying Chengjiao would not underestimate Sima Shang because of this.

As Li Mu's deputy general in the original history, Sima Shang may not be good at strategy, but his hard power in a head-on confrontation will never be bad.

The comparison of the military strength between Ge Ping and Sima Shang had already been reflected in the Battle of Licheng.

Ying Chengjiao had to send the main force to retreat to Licheng, and he only led the front army to continue the annihilation war against the Zhao army.

After all, the life and death of the Qin army was far more important than the life and death of Li Mu!

A group of generals bowed solemnly: "Yes!"

Ying Chengjiao once again grasped the long halberd and led the army to march quickly.

He took the lead in crossing the scattered boulders, and what caught Ying Chengjiao's eyes was Zhao Mao's troops who had been lined up behind the boulders.

Using his hands and teeth to tie up the wound on his left shoulder with silk cloth, Zhao Mao held the gun in his hand, looked at Ying Chengjiao from a distance, and roared:

"Under the command of the Great Zhao Wu'an Jun, the captain Zhao Mao is here!"

"This road is blocked!"

Looking at the determination in Zhao Mao's eyes, and thinking about the current situation, how could Ying Chengjiao not understand Zhao Mao's thoughts?

After bowing, Ying Chengjiao spoke loudly: "Prince Chengjiao of Chang'an, the Great Qin."

"Send Zhao Mao, the commander of the Zhao army, to the road!"

The enemy is not afraid of death, but how can you scare him with death!

Even though Ying Chengjiao personally charged into the battle several times, he still fought until the next day at dawn, and only then dispersed the thousands of elite soldiers of Dai County who had already determined to die here.

Then, the Qin army, like a pack of wolves tearing through the fence, stabbed the Zhao army in front of them that had already collapsed!

The fighting lasted longer than all the generals of Qin and Zhao expected.

The heavy losses were enough to make any king so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

Only the crows were happy and gathered together, calling their friends, waiting to enjoy the countless delicacies.

Li Mu, who finally returned to She County, staggered up to the city gate tower, looked up at the flocks of crows flying to the west, his pupils slightly red, and ordered in a hoarse voice: "Kill a hundred sheep and a hundred dogs."

"No need to cook, all lined up on the top of the city."

Hu Qiong subconsciously looked behind him.

Originally, there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses following them, but now there were only a thousand remnants who fled back in a panic!

Hu Qiong knew that the soldiers who fled back to She County could not eat all the meat prepared by Li Mu, so he whispered: "The commander wants to use blood food to sacrifice to the comrades who died in the battle?"

"I think it's better to cook it."

Li Mu shook his head slowly: "This general is not for the sacrifice of comrades."

"It's for the sacrifice of Ya (crows)!"

Hu Qiong looked up at the crows flying to the west, covering the sky and blocking the sun. He didn't say anything else, but ordered the She County magistrate to slaughter the sheep and dogs immediately.

Soon, sheep and dogs were carried to the city wall and slaughtered directly on the wall.

Li Mu raised his head and cried out in sorrow:

"Ya Xi Ya Xi! I will feast you!"

"Enjoy it to your heart's content! Don't eat the warriors!"

Perhaps it heard Li Mu's cry, or perhaps it was attracted by the fresh smell of blood.

After the soldiers dispersed, a crow tentatively landed on the top of the city and began to peck at the flesh and blood.

Seeing that the crow was not driven away, a large group of crows flew down and began to enjoy the feast.

Hu Qiong's lips moved for a few breaths, and he whispered: "The defeat in this battle is not the fault of war."

"Commander, please accept my condolences."

Li Mu did not answer Hu Qiong, but sighed softly with a complicated look: "Let's go!"

Hu Qiong immediately said: "I have someone to clean up the county magistrate's office."

"Commander, please go to the county magistrate's office and have a good rest."

Li Mu shook his head: "No need to bother to clean up."

"My troops will only stay in She County for one night to wait for the comrades who escaped back on their own."

"We will leave at sunrise tomorrow."

Hu Qiong was stunned: "Our army paid a huge price to launch a surprise attack and just captured She County."

"Commander is going to give up She County and lead the troops to retreat?!"
