Chapter 703 Why does he dare to hunt down my unit! It was Li Mu who wanted to answer before the battle!
The infantry under Ying Chengyu could not keep up with the speed of the cavalry.
The defenders of Licheng and the noisy troops commanded by Ren Xiao were even left far behind by Ying Chengyu.
There are only two thousand cavalry left behind Ying Chengyu!
But Ying Chengyu is still charging.
Even though there were only two thousand cavalry behind him, Ying Chengyu was still charging towards the more than 60,000 Zhao troops!
“Kill!!!”
While roaring, Ying Chenglong stabbed out the halberd in his hand again.
The back of Zhao Jun's neck was visibly dented before being pierced by the tip of the halberd.
Seeing that the tip of the halberd had curled up, Ying Chengyu pulled out the halberd without hesitation, raised his right arm suddenly, and bent his upper body like a full moon.
After taking a brief aim at a Zhao Jun 2500 leader in the distance, Ying Chengyu stretched the muscles of his right arm and threw the halberd in his hand with force.
"Ah!"
With a cry of sorrow, the halberd in Ying Chengyu's hand hit the back of the Zhao Jun leader.
The curled-edged halberd could not penetrate his body, but the strong force knocked the man off his horse!
Then, they were trampled into pieces of minced meat by the soldiers of Zhao who were running forward!
Ying Chengyu didn't even look at the two to five hundred leaders of the Zhao army. After throwing out his halberd, he shouted:
"The arrows are turning!"
Su Jiao quickly rushed forward to take over. He found Ying Chenglong's position and swiped the halberd in his hand, swinging away the spears that were stabbing Ying Chenglong.
Hachifu handed over a halberd that he had taken from an enemy or a friendly force, and softly persuaded: "My lord, take a rest for a while."
Hachifu didn't know. How many enemy soldiers did Ying Chengyu kill?
All Bafu knew was that five long halberds had been curled by Ying Chengyu!
Ying Chengyu took the halberd, panted heavily, looked back at Paoze behind him and asked: "Can Paoze still hold on?"
Peng Cheng and other family soldiers shouted in unison Whispered: "We can still fight again!"
The Gua Fu whispered: "Eighty percent of the robes are already preparing their horses with the second horse, and dozens of others are already preparing their horses with the last horse. ! ”
The narrow corridor limits the enemy’s range.
Except for a small part of relatively wide terrain such as the city of Licheng, most of the section of Fukouxing can only accommodate five or six people abreast, and can only allow three or five cavalry to deploy.
So after Ying Chengyu took on the most arduous task of spearheading, the combat pressure on the cavalry under Ying Chengyu was not too great, and they could take turns to rest from time to time.
The first thing that really couldn't bear it was the war horses under their crotches.
"Are you already using the last horse to prepare your horse?"
Looking up at the sun that has not yet set, Ying Chengyu felt a little heavy.
Once Ying Chengyu's troops show cowardice, Zhao Jun may counterattack at any time.
Although it is only possible, the desperate balance of forces between the enemy and ourselves makes Ying Chengyu unable to bear the slightest possibility of the situation being reversed!
Taking off the water bag from the horse's back, Ying Chengyu took a sip of warm water that was similar to the body temperature of the war horse.
After pondering for a moment, Ying Chengyu jumped onto his own horse and shouted solemnly: "Order!"
"The whole army changes to horse!"
"The arrows are turning!"
With a pinch of the horse's belly, Ying Chengyu once again charged to the front of the army.
The newly replaced halberd bloomed with an orange-red luster under the afterglow of the setting sun, and was gently sent into the back of the neck of a Zhao sergeant by Ying Chengyu.
Then Ying Chengyu suddenly exerted force on his arms, causing the halberd blade to cut open the man's neck, and stabbed the halberd into the temple of the other Zhao Jun on the left!
The war horse knocked away the enemy's corpse before it could fall down, and Ying Chenglong roared angrily:
"Follow me and speed up to kill the enemy!"
Two thousand cavalrymen put on their horses and shouted excitedly:
"Kill!!!"
For a time , the Qin army’s cavalry pursued and killed them a little faster.
Ying Chengyu no longer took it as his duty to kill the enemy, but just broke the formation and left the scattered Zhao army to his subordinates to massacre!
Sima Shang turned around following the sound, looking at the big bamboo stick behind him with even more confusion and vigilance in his eyes.
“There are sounds of golden drums and flags of the Qin army on both sides of the cliff.”
“But why are there still no ambushes to kill them, and no rolling stones to knock them down!”
"Qin Chang'an Jun is particularly good at attacking with fire, and he made at least one hundred thousand troops disappear from my sight."
"Why didn't Qin Chang'an Jun order his ambush troops to set up a sea of fire on my way back to destroy our troops?" Total annihilation! ”
Early spring is already cold.
The galloping war horses brought up a fierce cold wind, blowing away the anxiety and despair in Sima Shang's heart.
But reason could never get back into Sima Shang's brain.
The military strategy that Sima Shang has learned throughout his life, the various strange things that Ying Chengyu has done so far, and the judgments made by Sima Shang's rational thinking, all tell Sima Shang that Ying Chengyu is likely to be what Xing Zhe said. Usually, they have just arrived at the battlefield.
However, after Ying Chengyu drove Sima Shang's troops out of Licheng, he still pursued them at full speed, but Sima Shang still couldn't believe his own judgment, and he didn't even dare to make the slightest test.
If Ying Chengyu really didn't make perfect arrangements, why would he dare to pursue and kill him himself!
Sima Shang cannot risk the lives of tens of thousands of people when he does not even believe his own judgment!
"Report!" A group of scouts rushed towards Sima Shang against the flow of people, shouting excitedly: "The commander has led the reinforcements ten miles ahead."
"Will join our troops soon!"
Sima Shang suddenly became energetic and shouted: "The whole army speeds up!"
"Join forces with the commander quickly!"
This sentence is more effective than any other command!
The speed of Sima Shang's entire army increased dramatically, and every Zhao soldier was running with all their strength!
Finally, a large banner appeared in front of Sima Shang.
Li Mu, Lord Wu'an of Zhao, has already arrived with 50,000 elite troops!
"Commander!" Sima Shang's eyes turned red, and he cried out sadly: "General, I am ashamed of my trust in the commander!"
Having reined in his horse five feet in front of Li Mu, Sima Shang rolled off his horse and fell to his knees, Tears streamed down his face! Li Mu couldn't bear it when he saw this, and he was very sad.
In Li Mu's view, Sima Shang can be ranked 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 with no heavy casualties between the Qin and Zhao armies!
Sima Shang's mind and self-confidence were attacked from the inside out by Ying Chengyu, turning him into a fan.
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 in a solemn voice: "Get up!"
Sima Shang raised his head and then slowly stood up.
Li Mu rode his horse past Sima Shang and said in a steady and firm voice: "Get on the horse!"
"Return to the formation!"
"There is no need to pay attention to anything else, there is no need to think about anything else."
"This general has arrived!"
The war horse raised its hooves and moved forward. Li Mu stood in front of Sima Shang and took over Sima Shang's command. While gaining power, 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 hand: "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 is dark and the road is steep, and it is difficult to walk with a small number of soldiers."
"Chang'an Jun has no ambush and is rushing all the way. Why not withdraw his troops quickly to recover his strength? ”
"Chang'an Lord, you can rest assured."
"Thinking of Chang'an Lord's contribution to the world, I will not pursue you!"
Li Mu's soldiers roared in unison, making Li Mu's words He was able to cross a distance of several hundred feet and pass 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 fast enough."
"Order!"
"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 soon!"
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 attacks with only a few soldiers to fight!
Ying Chengyu shook his head and asked in a thoughtful tone: "Captain Su, how certain do you think Mr. Wu An was in his words just now?"
Recalling Li Mu's tone, Su Jiao said solemnly: " At least 70%!"
Ying Chengzhong smiled again: "I thought it was only 30% at most."
"Otherwise, Lord Zhao Wuan will not stop Zhao Jun. !”
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 said excitedly: "Then, general, please be the vanguard and charge 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 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.
What should we do?
Ying Chengyu smiled: "Isn't Mr. Wu An already demonstrating?"
It was Li Mu who opened the formation first and answered!
If I don’t respond, wouldn’t it be a waste of my lobbying ability?
Riding his horse and walking forward slowly, Ying Chengyu said loudly: "Spring plowing is coming, and everything is competing for development."
"Wu'an Jun has Wu'an City and Dai County and needs plowing. The soldiers of Zhao Army We each have land that needs to be cultivated, so why not quickly withdraw our troops and return home to cultivate.”
"It's about delaying the farming season, delaying the autumn harvest, tearing up the alliance, and sneaking a surprise attack on my country, the Qin Dynasty!"
Hearing these words, Zhao Jun couldn't help but move a little.
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 bit resentful towards Zhao.
Li Mu's mood became a little more serious.
Li Mu hopes to further test Ying Chengyu’s truth through his questioning.
But I never thought that although Ying Chengyu had proved that Ying Chengyu 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 in a cold voice: "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 homeland!"
"To protect my country!" We, the people of Zhao, have worked hard to cultivate the food, and we, Zhao, will do whatever it takes to get it!”
