Chapter 915 Our army is not a mourning army, the Qin army is! It's not a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy!
Same day.
Linle, the coalition camp.
More than 600,000 allied forces of Wandai, Qi and Yan were stationed here.
But the whole camp seemed extremely quiet, and there was no spirit of war and iron horses. Instead, it was full of cowardice and sadness.
The soldiers who were carrying out their duties were walking around numbly, and the resting soldiers were sitting casually on the ground, with either sadness or death in their eyes.
Almost all the soldiers had their robes, countrymen and even relatives killed in this battle.
Even the soldiers who were lucky enough to have no relatives die in this battle were full of despair about their future.
If crying was not a crime in the army, Li Mu had no doubt that the sound of crying in the coalition camp would be endless at this moment!
Withdrawing his gaze towards the soldiers, Li Mu asked in a low voice: "Has all the news that Zheng Xian and other immortals been captured alive by the enemy been sealed?"
Tian Sheng also lowered his voice and replied: "Everyone who knows about this has been secretly sent back to the country. They will be under house arrest in Linzi until the end of this war, and they are not allowed to talk to anyone."
" According to the investigation by the waiters, the Qin army did not publicize this matter. "
"And the sight of the immortals leaving the army was witnessed by many soldiers. Even if the immortals did not return, the soldiers did not. I will feel suspicious."
"I don't need to worry about this matter spreading for the time being."
As he spoke, Tian Sheng was still a little surprised.
He thought that it would be difficult to block the news, but Tian Sheng never expected that the Qin army did nothing after capturing the eight immortals alive. It seemed that what they captured alive was not the eight immortals at all, but the eight pawns. generally!
Tian Sheng could not understand, but Tian Sheng was very happy.
Li Mu nodded and said: "Once the news that Zheng Xian and other immortals were captured alive by the enemy spreads among our army, the already precarious morale of our army will surely collapse again."
"General Tian should pay more attention to this matter."
After Tian Sheng nodded in agreement, he said with emotion: "General, it is still hard to believe that all the immortals were captured alive by the enemy!"
>
"That's an immortal!"
Li Mu's eyes were cold.
Now Li Mu is basically certain that Zheng Anqi and others are a group of liars!
Li Mu only regretted that he was deceived by Zheng Anqi and others and did not cut off their sacrificial flags as soon as he became suspicious of them, which actually caused such a hidden danger to the coalition forces!
Li Mu forcefully ignored the topic and said in a deep voice: "The destruction of our army's morale after two major defeats and Earth Dragon's stand-up will not be easily overcome."
"The general thought that our army would need at least two months of rest before its morale could return to normal."
"Please Yan and Qi prepare the baggage and preparations for long-term persistence, and prepare some meat for delivery To the front line."
Yan Wangxi frowned slightly: "After two months of rest, our army's morale can only return to normal?"
"If we want to bring our army's morale to its peak, what will happen? How long will it take?"
Li Mu glanced at Yan Wangxi and said calmly and firmly: "One year."
King Yan was astonished: "One year?"
"There is a saying in the art of war that a mourning army will win!"
"Our army is already a mourning army, why can't we form a mourning army that will win?" "Situation?"
Li Mu glanced at Yan Wangxi and said softly: "The sorrow of the soldiers who must win is the sorrow of sorrow and anger, not the sorrow of timidity."
"If. The King of Yan, my general, Vice General Tian, or the highly respected people of Dai, Qi, and Yan were poisoned, ambushed, and assassinated by the Qin State, but our soldiers did not suffer heavy losses, and our army was treated as a mourning soldier."
"Now our army is not a mourning soldier, but a cowardly soldier who has been defeated repeatedly."
"On the other hand, the Qin army is a mourning soldier who is sad and angry because the King of Qin was assassinated and his allies betrayed their alliance!"
No matter who is defeated, he will be a mourning soldier. The prerequisite for mourning a soldier is that he is justified!
If the conditions for mourning the soldiers were so easy to realize, King Yan Xi would have dominated the world long ago!
A bit of shame flashed in Yan Wangxi's eyes, and he turned to ask: "It is really a huge pressure for us, Dayan Logistics, to insist on waiting for a good opportunity for a year."
"May I ask Mr. Dai Wu'an if he has any good strategies to shorten the time for our soldiers to recover their morale?"
Li Mu said calmly: "I have no strategy to restore the morale of our army."
"By the end of this year, the earth dragon has not stood up from the past. The theory that Lord Qin Chang'an ordered the earth dragon has been exposed. Our soldiers will no longer be afraid of Lord Qin Chang'an. The morale of our army will return to its peak, and the morale of the Qin army will return to its peak." Hit the bottom. "
"The morale rises and falls not with this general, but with Lord Qin Chang'an!"
Put the morale rise and fall on whether Dilong will listen to Ying Chengxuan. The order?
King Yan's expectations for the victory of the coalition forces were even lower. As he was weighing his thoughts, he said in a deep voice: "I will send an order to the court today to dispatch money, food and meat to the army."
Tian Sheng hurriedly He handed over his hands: "The same goes for the last general!"
Li Mu nodded lightly and said: "Let me tell all the generals in the army who are more than two to five hundred lords and good men of the country (two thousand people under their command)."
"In the next two months, the only mission of our army is to hold on and never send troops because of the enemy's provocation or seduction!"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of horse hooves exploded.
Li Mu immediately looked back and saw more than fifty scouts and messengers riding straight into the military camp.
Ten feet in front of Li Mu, they all stood up and dismounted. A group of scouts and messengers quickly ran to Li Mu, cupped their hands and shouted: "Commander!" "Qin General Meng Tian led 30,000 troops to attack us. Qian (gàn) Daocheng, please send troops to support me!”
“Qin General Dong Yi led 20,000 troops to attack our city of Quzhou (quán). Please send troops to support me!”
"
"Qin General Feng Wuze led an army of 40,000 people to the north along the west side of Linle City, heading towards Fangcheng! "
"General Qin..."
In just an hour, the scouts and messengers brought back the movements of the six Qin armies.
Taking into account the round-trip distance and reconnaissance range, the actual number of Qin troops will be at least double this!
Tian Sheng was stunned, and then he felt a strong sense of vigilance in his heart: "It is true that the Qin army is brave and elite, and has Qin Chang'an as its commander."
"But the Qin army's strength is inferior to Our army and the Qin army are so crazy about dividing their forces to attack?”
"What does Qin Changan Lord want?!"
For the weaker side, dividing the troops will undoubtedly aggravate this weakness.
Continuing to fight together as before is the most beneficial tactic for the Qin army.
Tian Sheng cannot understand why Ying Chengyu divided his troops so crazily!
The king of Yan said with certainty: "Qin Chang'an must have a conspiracy behind this move!"
However, Li Mu shook his head and sighed softly: "Qin Chang'an's move is a conspiracy."
Looking at the map of Kun, the movements of the Qin armies emerged in his mind, Li Mu's voice was complicated Said: "Although our army has not yet detected the movements of all the Qin armies, if the general's prediction is correct, each Qin army will attack all the cities and strategic locations in the Dukang area."
" If our army ignores it, the Qin army can recapture the Dukang land one by one. "
"By then, even if the main force of our army is not defeated, our army will have to withdraw from the Dukang land and retreat to the front line of Wuyang City. , the baggage line on the Zhongyi front line will also be cut off again."
"If our army uses the main force to encircle and chase one of the Qin troops, the remaining Qin troops will attack our army from all directions like a pack of wolves. Form an encirclement against our army and start another battle.”
"Judging from the current morale of our army, if we fight now, our army will undoubtedly be defeated!"
Tian Sheng had a flash of inspiration and said continuously: "Our army can order the defenders of the cities to be on strict alert, and then Send generals and troops to help the cities. "
"Although our army's morale is low, our army is only defending the city and not attacking it."
"With the strength of the city and the vastness of the army. , our army may tire the Qin army and gain an advantage!"
Li Mu nodded and agreed: "What Deputy General Tian said is the best choice for this strategy."
Tian Sheng immediately smiled.
But before Tian Sheng’s smile reached his eyes, he heard Li Mu’s voice asking: “But, where is the general?”
“How many of our troops can defeat Qin General Meng Tian? , Qin general Feng Wuze and other generals who defended the city when the Qin army led the Qin army to attack? ”
The fledgling Zhuge Liang was ahead of the enemy, wise and close to the demons, and achieved success in three kingdoms, and became famous. Eight array diagram.
After decades of experience and growth, Zhuge Liang's demeanor is actually worse than before.
Is it because Zhuge Liang has exhausted his talents?
Obviously not.
A very important reason is that many top generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao have passed away one after another, as well as Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Fu Wei, Yang Qun, Ma Yu, Deng Tong, etc. High-level generals and Mesozoic generals died on the battlefield in droves!
A strategic goal that can be achieved steadily by one of the Five Tiger Generals and a few good generals leading thousands of soldiers and horses, but if replaced by an ordinary general, it would require several times or even ten times the number of soldiers and horses. It will definitely be done.
If Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition was not led by Ma Su but Huang Zhong, would the Northern Expedition end in disgrace?
If all the Five Tiger Generals were present, and Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty was stationed in the rear, with Fazheng and Pang Tong as assistants, would Zhuge Liang's strategic plans for the subsequent Northern Expeditions be so constrained?
War is never something that can be controlled by just one hero, but a life-saving fight between a group of heroes!
Li Mu at this moment is just like Zhuge Liang in the later period.
Even if Li Mu is ahead of the enemy, even if Li Mu is proficient in military strategy, even if Li Mu has a great talent, even if Li Mu can despise 99% of the generals in the hundreds of years of the Warring States Period, so what?
Pang Nuan, Fu Da, Qingshe and other Zhao generals have all died in the battle. Most of the generals Li Mu has trained for many years, such as Sima Shang, Xing Liu, Feili and others, have also been lost. Even Yan Ju, Zhao Cong and other generals who were defeated and defeated were almost dead, and Yan and Qi together could not produce a few useful generals.
Li Mu simply does not have enough outstanding mid-level and high-level generals to implement his strategy!
Li Mu's voice was inevitably a bit bitter: "Qin Chang'an Jun's plan is not to attack the land of Dukang, nor is it the general."
"It's because our army lacks The weakness of a good general!"
As soon as these words came out, Tian Sheng, Zhao Jiang, Yan An and other generals all lowered their heads in shame.
Li Mu felt even more bitter when he saw this.
Facing the aggressiveness of Qin's generals, our generals didn't even have the courage to ask for a fight!
Thinking of the invincible Su Jiao under Ying Chengyu, the invincible Yang Duanhe, the blitzing Li Xin, the elusive Peng Yue...
Li Mu, sour!
