Chapter 711 Lure the enemy deeper? No, this is to lure the tiger away from the mountain! Hou'ao Mountain was lost!
The Zhao army is powerful.
But Zhao Mao's troops, which protruded in front of the formation, were like a small puddle next to the sea. Although they were backed by the endless sea water, they did not receive any assistance.
Even though the puddle is struggling tenaciously, the scorching sun still makes it weaker.
Ren You said with an unbearable look on his face: "Commander, are you really not going to send troops to rescue Captain Zhao Mao's troops?"
Seeing Zhao Mao today, Ren You seemed to see himself yesterday.
Even because Zhao Mao’s troops were more determined to fight, the losses suffered by Zhao Mao’s troops were even more severe!
A feeling of sadness over the death of a rabbit or a fox came to my heart.
Li Mu replied calmly: "No rescue."
"Order Captain Zhao Mao's troops to form a formation and retreat!"
"The surrounded soldiers are fighting to the death!"
"Speak loudly and inform all the surrounded soldiers."
"If any soldiers rebel against Zhao and surrender to Qin, their entire family will be punished!"< br>
Li Mu’s order was very calm.
And when this order fell on Zhao Mao, who always trusted Li Mu, it seemed even more cruel.
Seeing that Zhao Mao did not hesitate to order his soldiers to form a thicker formation and slowly retreat, Hu Qiong finally couldn't help but said: "Coach, Qin Chang'an Jun is indeed a general of the world."
" If we try to lure the enemy deeper, I am afraid that Lord Qin Changan will still not fall into the trap!”
“In the end, we will see that instead of persisting in the strategy of luring the enemy deeper, we might as well try to attack by force!”
>
"Although this move will cost more casualties, the total strength of our army far exceeds that of the Qin army, and our army will definitely win!"
Coach, admit it!
Our strategy really cannot deceive Mr. Qin Changan!
Let’s show off and attack head-on!
Although this move will indeed cause a large number of casualties, it will at least give our army a chance to win!
However, Li Mu dismissed Hu Qiong's advice.
Why do you think this general prefers the strategy of luring the enemy deeper?
Not even poor!
Since the Battle of Changping, how can our great Zhao still have so many young men for me to squander!
Not bothering to refute Hu Qiong, Li Mu just looked far away to the west and said slowly: "Qin Chang'an Lord, you have fallen into the trap."
"And what I did was not right. A strategy to lure the enemy deeper!"
Hu Qiong, Ren You and other Zhao generals all looked shocked.
Judging from Li Mu's arrangement, except that he did not arrange an ambush, it was a very standard strategy to lure the enemy deeper.
In the end, Li Mu said that he was not trying to lure the enemy deeper?
What strategy is Li Mu planning? !
Moreover, Li Mu actually said that Ying Chengyu had fallen into the trap?
Why can’t we see it!
With his eyes fixed on the battlefield, when Su Jiao's troops followed Zhao Mao's troops to retreat to a pass with steep mountains on both sides, Li Mu suddenly shouted: "Order!"
"Dudu The troops of Wei Zhaomao will stand firm and fight to the death!"
"The trapped soldiers will stand firm and wait for orders to advance eastward!"
"The second division of Du Wei Ren You and Du Wei Hu Qiong will not retreat! Join forces and go up the mountain road on the east side of Hou'ao Mountain"
"The target is the Qin Army's Hou'ao Mountain Camp!"
"Once discovered by the Qin army's scouts, beat the drums and attack by force!"
Hearing Li Mu's order, Ren You and Hu Qiong finally understood.
Li Mu is not trying to lure the enemy deeper.
But to divert the tiger away from the mountain! ! !
And now, the tiger that holds the mountain has not only left the mountain, but has even been imprisoned in a cage at the foot of the mountain!
Li Mu looked at Ren You and Hu Qiong: "The opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service and to take revenge."
"I will give it to you."
"Whether you can seize it depends on the two of you. Captain, please use your life!”
If this strategy can be successful, even if it cannot trap Ying Chengyu, it can at least trap Su Jiao to death.
Ren You and Hu Qiong will undoubtedly make great contributions!
The anger and dissatisfaction that Ren You and Hu Qiong had felt since yesterday disappeared.
The coach made a clever plan and never treated his general badly.
But this general was slandering the coach, and even disrespected the coach in his words.
General, you deserve to die!
With deep emotion and self-reproach, Ren You and Hu Qiong suddenly handed over their hands: "Wei!"
The two remnants of the army joined forces and climbed up the Hou'ao Mountain along the narrow mountain road.
But the reason why Hou'ao Mountain was used as a defensive position by Ying Chengyu was because the mountain road on the east side was extremely steep.
Many sections of the road can only be used by one person using both hands and feet. Some sections of the road cannot even accommodate both feet standing side by side at the same time. Instead, one needs to move sideways.
From time to time, soldiers from Zhao fell down the cliff and were rescued by the robes because of the protection of ropes. However, there were also people who directly dragged the four robes in the same group down the cliff together!
"Speed up! Watch your steps!"
"Check the ropes tied between each group to prevent anyone from falling off the cliff!"
"If you make a mistake and fall, don't shout. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished by his family!"
"Revenge and meritorious service. The opportunity is today, so please cheer up, general!"
Even though Ren You and Hu Qiong ordered the army to be silent, they made preparations as much as possible, but the cries of sorrow remained the same! Rings often.
Fortunately, the fighting on the highway was still fierce, and the tragic cries of killing perfectly covered up the mournful cries of Zhao's soldiers.
After climbing with all his strength for two hours, Ren You gasped for air and habitually raised his eyes to look around the environment.
Then, he came face to face with a stunned Qin army scout!
"Enemy attack!!!"
The shrill shouts of the Qin army scouts suddenly echoed throughout the valley.
An arrow was subconsciously shot out by the Qin army scout!
A group of Qin soldiers who stayed here to guard the mountain road quickly raised their shields and quickly formed a formation. Ren You's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned sideways to avoid the incoming arrow, shouting in shock: "Drum beat!"
"The whole army attacks!"
“The archers are gathering to shoot!”
The narrow mountain road cannot move the war drums.
The five messengers could only stand tremblingly sideways on the mountain road, holding drumsticks in their hands and beating the small drum hanging on their waists.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The war drums beat, and Ren You's subordinates trembled and roared: "Kill!!!"
Xingdao Inside, Su Jiao suddenly raised his head and looked at the top of Hou'ao Mountain in disbelief. He saw the aqua blue flag in the Qin Army's camp in Hou'ao Mountain being waved by the ordering soldiers in a panic.
Su Jiao exclaimed: "It's his mother's fault!"
"The Zhao army did not actually fight our army head-on."
"But they came to cheat! They came to sneak attack our army!"
"Order!"
"The rear area Retreat quickly and rush back to the camp along the gentle slope..."
However, before Su Jiao could finish his order, Zhao Mao had already shouted: "The commander's plan has been accomplished."
"Advance the whole army!"
"Order the front troops to turn around and counterattack, and cooperate with our troops to outflank Su Jiao's troops."
"Be sure to bite the enemy hard for me. !”
“Counterattack! Kill the enemy!”
Zhao Mao’s soldiers were already filled with anger.
At this moment, after hearing Zhao Mao's order, the soldiers roared in unison:
"Kill!"
Zhao Mao's troops turned retreat into advance, and marched towards Su Jiao's troops at the expense of sacrifice. , thrust out the spear!
If Su Jiao's troops dare to turn around and withdraw their troops under such a situation, what awaits Su Jiao's troops is bound to be a massacre!
More importantly.
As Zhao Mao's front troops advanced eastward, Su Jiao's troops were completely blocked by the trail with cliffs on both sides.
There is no way forward or retreat.
It is more difficult to return to Hou'ao Mountain through the cliff!
Su Jiao felt deep despair in his heart.
He no longer knew how to return to support the Qin army camp in Hou'ao Mountain in such a situation!
"Captain, the commander has an order!"
Hearing Lifu's call, Su Jiao suddenly turned around and saw a red flag and a green flag waving up and down, forming a clear order.
Seeing Ying Chengyu’s new order when he was at a loss, Su Jiao subconsciously felt a lot more relaxed and immediately ordered: "Two to five hundred bastards will completely take over the command of the crossbowmen and lead our troops. The crossbowmen hold on to the camp!"
"Let the rear troops turn to the front, and the front troops to the rear, and form a tight formation!"
Su Jiao gave Zhao Mao one last look coldly, and then He decisively raised his spear and ran towards the west, shouting loudly: "Follow me."
"Follow me to break out of the encirclement!"
"Kill!"
The favorable location and the flanking attack left Su Jiao's infantry with no remaining power to support the battle.
The front part of Zhao Mao stuck behind Su Jiao's troops blocked the only gentle slope up to Hou'ao Mountain.
If Ying Chengyu sends reinforcements to Hou'ao Mountain, he will either have to defeat this Zhao army first, or he will have to take the narrow mountain road.
No matter how they choose, it will take at least an hour and a half for the Qin army's reinforcements to arrive at the Hou'ao Mountain camp.
An hour and a half is a long time for a war.
One and a half hours is very short for a battle.
Naodan threw away the Qin crossbow in his hand, held his own spear, and shouted loudly: "Two or five hundred masters, ex-husband, two or five hundred advocate Xiao's troops abandoned their crossbows and held their spears, and lined up in the east!" "
"The remaining troops continue to hold their crossbows, aiming to attack the Zhao army on the east side, and shoot them in turn!"
Although archers and crossbowmen are both commonly used long-range troops in war, the strategic significance of crossbowmen is even greater than that of archers under certain circumstances.
But during the selection of troops, only the elite soldiers with strong arms will become archers, and the relatively weak brigade in the army will become crossbowmen.
So the archers who throw away their bows will be excellent melee troops as long as they hold a spear in their hands, but the combat effectiveness of the crossbowmen who throw away their crossbows is mixed.
Under the orders of her ex-husband and Zhang Xiao, it took nearly half a quarter of an hour for the two crossbowmen, who temporarily replaced their spears, to finally complete their formation.
But Ren You and Hu Qiong had already taken advantage of this time to organize their troops and charge forward!
Ren You even ran forward uncharacteristically, shouting angrily: "Soldiers, avenge the dead Pao Ze!"
"Follow me and charge to kill!"
The old grudges between Qin and Zhao, The newly acquired blood feud, the military exploits symbolized by the heads of the Qin Army... and most importantly, the panic on the faces of the Qin Army soldiers made all the Zhao Army soldiers work hard and shouted in unison:
"Kill!!!"
Under the leadership of Ren You, the Zhao army rushed into Zhang Xiao's headquarters with overwhelming force.
Hu Qiong's command took advantage of the opportunity of Ren You's command to involve the front of the Qin army, and commanded his elite troops to rush in along the weak points on the flanks of his ex-husband's command!
In just half an hour, the army of ex-husband and Zhang Xiao was almost collapsed!
Looking at the crumbling military formation, Naodan’s brain buzzed, and despair appeared in his eyes.
Fortunately, the command flag on the top of the west side of the mountain wavered again, conveying the latest order to Coward.
The coward quickly shouted: "Pass the command from the coach!"
"Twenty-five hundred Zhang Xiao and my ex-husband immediately escorted the crossbowmen down the gentle slope and joined forces with our captain!"
"I, the general, will lead my troops to stop the enemy."
"Give up completely. Hou'ao Mountain Camp!"
