Bai Zhong rushed into the enemy's cavalry, drew his sword and killed them indiscriminately.

The short soldiers who followed him were also killing enemies indiscriminately. Every time they swung their swords, an enemy would fall down.

Others, such as Meng Tian and others, although not affected by fighting spirit, have saddles, stirrups and sharper and easier-to-use horizontal knives. Although they only have less than 5,000 men, their momentum can completely overwhelm Zhao Jun's remaining 8,000 cavalry.

.

"When did Qin's cavalry become so powerful?"

Those Zhao cavalry were a little panicked. In their opinion, Zhao's cavalry was the strongest. How could they be suppressed by Qin's cavalry?

Before they could react, their formation had been disrupted by Qin's cavalry, and they could only resist with difficulty.

Li Mu looked over from a distance, and when he saw Bai Zhong, his eyes narrowed.

"He is indeed here."

Li Mu could not have imagined that an ordinary general, whom he had not seen for more than a year, would actually form a team of cavalry that could completely crush him.

Although there are only 5,000 people, their combat power is comparable to that of 10,000 people.

Those Qin cavalry were also good at riding and shooting, and they caught the Zhao army off guard. They never expected it to be like this.

Li Mu felt even more threatened and pressured. This person was definitely their Zhao country's biggest enemy.

Seeing that his cavalry had been killed and the infantry who had entered the mountain had a low chance of winning, Li Mu decisively ordered: "Retreat!"

Woohoo!

The horn for the Zhao army to retreat was constantly blown.

Bai Zhong heard this voice and ordered: "Meng Tian, ​​Wang Li, take people back to help Li Xin and deal with the infantry who want to retreat. The others will follow me to continue the pursuit!"

"kill!"

The cavalry of the Iron Eagle Warriors quickly separated into two groups.

Meng Tian and Wang Li went back.

Bai Zhong saw the Zhao cavalry retreating. After killing those who were behind, he rode in pursuit.

"Mounted shooting!"

Upon hearing this order, the warriors in the front row put away their swords and quickly took out their crossbows.

Whoosh...

The sound of piercing the sky sounded, and a large number of crossbow arrows swept past, constantly shooting the retreating Zhao knights under their horses.

They almost stopped in front of Li Mu before the warriors stopped.

At this time, the Zhao infantry who had entered the mountain pass also escaped in panic and kept running away.

"killed!"

Bai Zhong glanced back, quickly changed direction and fought back. Cooperating with Li Xin and others, he rushed over to intercept Zhao Jun's infantry, killing as many as he could.

Li Mu's face was gloomy.

The riding skills of these Qin cavalry were no worse than our own, and were even better.

How was this Qin general trained?

He had fought with the Huns for so many years, but he could not train such cavalry.

At the end of the fighting, of the 50,000 people Li Mu sent out, only more than 20,000 could come back.

Of the ten thousand cavalry, less than five thousand were able to return in the end.

As the retreating Zhao troops gathered around Li Mu, the first battle between the two sides came to an end.

Bai Zhong rode his horse forward, holding the horizontal sword in his hand. Blood was dripping down the blade. His body and the horse were also covered in blood. He smiled and said, "General Li, long time no see!"

His face was covered with blood, and when he smiled, his smile was terrifying.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Li Mu responded calmly.

"I didn't expect General Li to recognize me."

Bai Zhong said again: "You surrender, King Qian of Zhao is fatuous and incompetent, and the State of Zhao cannot be defended."

Li Mu responded casually: "It's better for you to surrender. Staying in Qin will do you no good, but do you still remember Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an?"

Bai Zhong laughed: "I will not become Lord Wu'an, but Zhao will be defeated, so why should you resist?"

Li Mu pondered for a while and asked, "What do you call it?"

"Baizhong, and Wu'an Jun Baiqi come from the same place."

Bai Zhong reported his name and added: "My cavalry is called Iron Eagle Rui Shi. General Li must have heard of it, right?"

Li Mu's face changed, and then he said with admiration: "I didn't expect that you reactivated the Iron Eagle Rui Shi. It only took more than a year to achieve the results it has today."

"I missed your cavalry today. I'll see you on the battlefield next time. You won't be so lucky."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

Zhao Jun all retreated.

Behind was Jingxing. As soon as Li Mu retreated, he returned to the stronghold below the city.

Bai Zhong did not give the order to pursue, but when he came to the vicinity of the stronghold, the cavalry could not be deployed, and the number of infantry was not enough, making it difficult to attack the stronghold. He could only watch Li Mu leave, and then said: "Go back to the mountain pass and camp, wait for the arrival of the general and others."

——

Li Mu returned to Jingxing.

Seeing the casualties of his men, he frowned. Wang Jian hadn't arrived yet, but the battle was already so miserable.

But Li Mu felt that Bai Zhong was more terrifying than Wang Jian.

"Next, stick to the barrier. No battle is allowed without my order."

Li Mu said loudly.

He could only hold on and not confront the Qin army head-on.

The strength of the Zhao army does not allow them to confront them head-on, especially now that they are starving and their combat power is not as good as before.

Li Mu asked again: "How long will it take for the food to be delivered?"

"We can arrive tomorrow afternoon."

The deputy general next to him said.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, he could hold on as soon as the food arrived, and said: "There is no need to save tonight, the whole army will have a full meal, and the whole army will be on alert."

——

"General, eighty-nine Iron Eagle warriors were killed, 327 were seriously injured, 41 of them were unable to fight again, and 1,311 were slightly injured."

Gengwu quickly counted the casualties and said: "On the infantry side, more than 4,000 people were killed, and the others were injured to varying degrees."

Li Mu's cavalry is really powerful.

The Iron Eagle warriors, who had never been killed in battle, finally lost more than 80 people, and there were more than 40 who could no longer go to the battlefield. In this way, more than 100 people were lost.

You must know that every sharp warrior can only be obtained after strict selection and training. It is not easy to replenish them when you go back. You can only find some people from the 3,000 people eliminated to replenish the number.

Bai Zhong listened to Geng Wu's report and said: "The injured will be taken down for treatment immediately. The seriously injured will not have to go to the battlefield. Remember the names of those who were killed. After this battle, I will take part of the reward and divide it among the fallen and those who died in battle."

The families of the warriors who can no longer go to war.”

Gengwu suddenly swallowed: "General..."

Bai Zhong interrupted: "It's also my fault that I couldn't bring you back intact. Let's decide like this!"

After finishing speaking, he went to meet with Li Xin to arrange the distribution of military merits.

Because many of Zhao's cavalry were stabbed to death by Chang Ge, shot by arrows, or cut down by sharp warriors, they had no time to collect their ears as battle merits. They need to be distributed reasonably so that the soldiers in the army will not feel chilled.

After finishing all this, it was already night.

Wang Jian and his troops finally caught up.

"General Bai, how about it?"

Wang Jian asked.

Bai Zhong reported the results of the battle and said: "Li Mu returned to Jingxing and won a great victory in the first battle."

Wang Jian nodded and said: "General Bai did a good job, but I think this Jingxing is not easy to fight!"

They took advantage of the last light before the sun went down and looked at the Jingxing city wall in front of them. They saw that more than ten fortifications had been built under the city, and there must have been various defensive measures on the city towers.
