Chapter 899: Where he is, it is a strategic location! How difficult it is to go against the will of heaven!
“Send an order to Lieutenant General Wang Ben’s troops to turn west and march in concealment!”
“Allocate five thousand troops each to Captain Huang Kuang, Captain Ge Ping, and Captain Deng Ming. Order Commander Huang Kuang, Commander Ge Ping, and Commander Deng Ming to march toward the east, south, and north slopes of Dongpo Mountain!"
"Commander Li Bo and Commander Feng Wuze lead our troops! The horse is cruising outside, waiting for help."
"Captain..."
"The rest will follow my general and march towards Dongpo Mountain!"
A series of orders were issued one after another, and Ying Chengyu led 330,000 soldiers and horses straight to Dongpo Mountain, fifteen miles northwest of Yicheng. , and ordered his ministries to quickly occupy strategic locations from Dongpo Mountain to Juma River.
Looking at Ying Chengyu's movements, Tian Sheng's eyes were full of confusion: "The Qin army is going to... Dongpo Mountain to build a defense line?"
"Dongpo Mountain is just It's just an ordinary mountain surrounded by mountains on three sides and flat on one side, not a strategic location."
"Why did Lord Qin Chang'an rush to this place instead of directly leading his army to the Yishui Great Wall?"
Dongpo Mountain is indeed a relatively easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack terrain, but it is not a strategic location because it cannot block the main road and is not convenient for launching a surprise attack.
Moreover, Dongpo Mountain is only fifteen miles away from Yicheng and more than twenty miles away from Yiguan. Instead of setting up a defense line in Dongpo Mountain, it would be more stable to set up a defense line in Yicheng and Yiguan.
From a military and strategic perspective, this is an inexplicable layout!
But Li Mu's face has darkened: "Dongpo Mountain is indeed not a strategic location, but the soil quality of Dongpo Mountain is excellent, especially suitable for collecting soil to build altars!"
Li Mu only said With one sentence, all the coalition generals' hearts trembled.
Is Lord Qin Changan going to collect soil to build an altar now?
Do you want to keep your word?
Li Hong looked at the map of Kun and said bitterly: "Although Dongpo Mountain is not a strategically important place, our army cannot allow Lord Qin Chang'an to build an altar to command the earth dragon. Otherwise, our army will not only be affected by the location, but also the enemy." The dragon turns over and loses his troops, and the earth dragon turns over and his morale collapses. "
"If Lord Qin Chang'an really builds an altar on Dongpo Mountain, Dongpo Mountain will become a strategic location, and our army will have no choice but to do so. Destroy the altar built by Lord Qin Changan on Dongpo Mountain!"
Li Mu said quietly: "During the battle of Fukouxing, I never found out where Lord Qin Changan's altar was."
"It can be seen that the altar built by Lord Qin Chang'an does not need to be adjacent to the place where the earth dragon turns over."
"Now Lord Qin Chang'an is building an altar in Dongpo Mountain, obviously to lure our army into the Qin army's encirclement."
Li Mu's voice was very calm, and he had obviously anticipated the current situation when formulating the policy of 'cutting down the altar and eliminating the sacrifices'.
But it was only now that Li Hong finally understood what kind of difficult situation the coalition forces would face.
"Commander!" Li Hong looked at Li Mu and said forcefully: "Even if our army destroyed the altar built by Lord Qin Changan on Dongpo Mountain, Lord Qin Changan can still build it in other places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Altar.”
"In this way, our army will always be led by the Qin army!"
Li Mu nodded lightly: "Yes, but what can our army do?"
Yes. , will he be led by Qin Changanjun?
But what can I do!
Even if I cut out my heart, liver, and lungs and present them to heaven and earth, heaven and earth will not show mercy to me!
When facing off against Ying Chengyu, Li Mu felt for the first time how difficult it was to go against the will of heaven!
After Tian Sheng thought for a moment, he solemnly raised his hands and said: "On the occasion of the alliance, our Da Qi promised to use our Da Qi's witch-seekers, magicians, and immortals to resist Qin Chang'an Lord."
"The general is willing to send a message to the country, asking my king to invite all the witches and magicians from our Daqi to the front line, and then try our best to find immortals who can compete with Qin Changan Lord's witchcraft!"
Then Tian Sheng He turned to look at Zheng Anqi and sincerely requested: "Zheng Xian's way of governing Taidan is not good at killing."
"However, Zheng Xian is a disciple of his father-in-law on the river, and he often travels in the three realms, so he must know many immortals."< br>
"At the end of the day, I would like to ask Zheng Xian to recommend an immortal who can resist Qin Chang'an Lord. I, Da Qi, are willing to do my best to thank you!"
Zheng Anqi was heartbroken.
Expect Zheng and his colleagues to resist the curse of Lord Changan of Qin?
If they had that ability, could they still be Zheng’s colleagues?
However, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. There is strength in numbers.
If we find a few more colleagues to join the army, we might be able to help each other escape from the military camp together!
Thinking of this, Zheng Anqi’s smile became less alienated and more sincere as he said: “Zheng will do his best to help with this great cause of helping the road!”
Tian Sheng He suddenly smiled and raised his hands: "Thank you Zheng Xian!"
Then Tian Sheng looked at Li Mu and said excitedly: "With Zheng Xian's help, I, Daqi, will definitely be able to find an immortal who can resist Qin Chang'an! "
"As long as the immortal arrives in the army, our army will no longer have to worry about the sacrifice of Lord Qin Changan!"
Li Mu doesn't have much hope for this, but this is the only possible way for Li Mu to get out of this situation!
Sighing softly, Li Mu solemnly held up his hands: "In this way, the Qi Kingdom and Zheng Xian will be helped!"
Tian Sheng quickly returned the gift: "This is the meaning of the covenant!"
>
Li Mu nodded lightly, and then said in a deep voice: "There is no fixed schedule for the search for the immortal."
"Before the immortal arrives, our army must destroy the sacrifice of Lord Qin Chang'an!"
"Pass this general's order!"
"The four troops of Captain Ma Fuxun, General Tian Xun, General Zhai Tian, and General Xue Liang attacked the mountain along the mountain road on the east side of Dongpo Mountain, taking advantage of the enemy's unstable footing. , try your best to seize the camp!"
"Captain Sima Gan and Commander Sun Yi's light troops marched towards the west valley entrance of Dongpo Mountain to intercept the Qin army's movement!"
"Captain... ..."
After Li Mu made a series of arrangements, he looked at King Xi of Yan who had just returned from reorganizing his army, and said in a deep voice: "Please also ask King Yan to send the elite troops of Yan to go straight to the entrance of the western valley on the east slope of the mountain."
< br>
"Take advantage of the opportunity of our soldiers to entangle the Qin army to occupy the mouth of the valley first, so that the Qin army will not go deep into the Dongpo Valley!" King Yan responded coldly: "Our army has just suffered a heavy blow, and a large number of soldiers are scattered outside. It is urgent to reorganize the army and rest. ! ”
At present, the Yan army has only gathered more than 200,000 troops, and nearly 100,000 troops have been killed or missing.
On the first day when the main force of the Qin army arrived on the battlefield, the Yan army suffered such heavy losses. How could King Yan not be angry in his heart.
What made King Yan even more resentful was Li Mu’s attitude!
Li Mu clearly made an overall strategy of using the Yan army as bait, but he didn't tell Yan Wang Xi a word. What did this mean?
This is clearly Li Mu’s contempt for King Yan and Yan Jun!
However, the Yan army really failed to live up to expectations. Even though its military strength was much higher than that of the Qin army, and even though there were a large number of friendly troops nearby, it was still defeated by the Qin army!
The opportunistic character and emotions such as resentment and stinginess superimposed on each other, making King Xi of Yan completely unwilling to let Yan soldiers fight tough battles again.
Li Mu could see the dissatisfaction in Yan Wangxi's eyes, but Li Mu did not pay attention. Instead, he emphasized his voice and said: "This general knows that the Yan army needs to rest."
"But when the Yan army was resting, the Qin army was also resting!"
"Now the Qin army came from an expedition and went to war with our army without resting, and then continued to turn around after a day and night of fighting. Enter."
"The Qin army has not yet arrived at Dongpo Mountain and is at its weakest!"
"The King of Yan prides himself on being good at military strategy, but he doesn't even understand such a simple truth! Don’t you know? ”
“Or is it that King Yan doesn’t understand military strategy at all and doesn’t know how to attack Qin now? ”
If someone accuses Bai Qi of not knowing military strategy, he will only look at Bai Qi as a fool.
But when Li Mu accused King Xi of Yan, who had just suffered a great defeat, of not knowing the military strategy, he was met with the furious anger of King Yan: "If Mr. Dai Wu'an knew the military strategy, how could our army have suffered like this?" Big defeat!"
Li Mu said naturally: "Because the Yan army did not obey the general's orders."
Seeing that Yan Wangxi's face turned red, Mao Sui hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The bravery of Yan's warriors is known all over the world!"
"When it comes to three or two enemies in a narrow place, the knights of Yan are invincible in the world!"
"Wu'an Jun has no intention of ordering the Yan army to move into Dongpo Mountain, but just asks the King of Yan to send elite troops to intercept the Qin army."
"Only the elite Yan army can shoulder such an important task! ”
With the steps given by Mao Sui, the anger in Yan Wangxi’s heart finally dissipated a little.
Considering the necessity of this battle, King Yan could only endure his dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice: "I have ordered you to ride on your horse and lead five thousand elites to rush to the west valley entrance of Dongpo Mountain!"
Mao Sui hurriedly handed over his hand: "Thank you, King Yan!"
Li Mu nodded lightly: "Good!"
Then Li Mu drove his horses and personally led the Chinese army towards Ying Chengyu's headquarters.
As Li Mu expected, the Qin army who came from the expedition was now in a very exhausted state. The Qin army soldiers who once chased the Chu army were now being kept closer by the coalition forces.
Just when the front line of the Qin Army was only three miles away from Dongpo Mountain, Sima Gan, who only led a light force to attack, finally pursued from the southeast, and then stabbed the Qin Army's formation like a sharp knife. !
Ying Chengxuan immediately shouted: "Send the order to Captain Feng Wuze to intercept the pursuing troops in the southeast!"
"The rest continue to advance!"
The Qin army continued to advance forward under Ying Chengyu's order, but Sun Yi, Qi Bao and other soldiers and horses also arrived on the battlefield, rushing towards the squirming advance like a group of ants. The long snake!
Seeing this, Ying Chengxuan shouted in a deep voice: "Instruct the three troops of Commander Huang Kuang, Commander Ge Ping, and Commander Deng Ming to abandon their original goal and form a formation on the east side of our army to defend against the enemy!"
"Send an order to Captain Li Bo to cruise to the rescue."
"Send an order to Lieutenant Xifeng to attack the Yan Army's cavalry headquarters and break through the Taniguchi defense line!"
The Qin army, which originally swam toward Dongpo Mountain like a long snake, quickly changed its formation under the coercion of the coalition forces. Only the Western Front troops bit the Qi Roar troops like the hooked jaws of a snapping turtle.
Tian Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this: "Fortunately, the coach made a decisive decision and finally blocked the Qin army from Dongpo Mountain."
"The Qin army tried to take advantage of Dongpo Mountain to set up a defense line. The military strategy of building the altar was in vain!"
"Congratulations to the commander-in-chief!"
However, Li Mu frowned deeply: "The Qin army should not only be like this!"
"Did the scouts notice that the Qin army was divided?"
Ma Fudui immediately said: "No scouts reported anything about discovering the Qin army's division."
Li Mu's heart was still full of uneasiness. Continue to ask: "How wide is the scope that our army's scouts can detect now?"
Ma Fudui responded in a low voice: "Our army has more scouts, but except for my generation of scouts, Qi and Yan None of the army's scouts are enemies of the Qin army's scouts. Therefore, the range that our army's scouts can currently detect in time is only twenty miles to the east, eighteen miles to the north, thirteen miles to the south, and ten miles to the west."
"Beyond this distance, the actions of our scouts will be particularly difficult."
A map of the surrounding terrain appeared in Li Mu's mind, and he put the range of activities of Dai Jun's scouts into it and murmured softly: "Thirteen miles south, ten miles west...ten miles west?"
Li Mu suddenly looked to the west, Then he suddenly turned to the north and shouted in shock: "Captain Li Hong, General Chun Yuhuang, Shangqing Lifu!" Time to report back to our army!"
"Hurry!"
