As for the losses caused by the attack on several small towns, the battle between the two armies was inevitable.
Years of fighting have long since made Li Mu's heart as hard as iron.
His battle plan also had more far-reaching considerations.
Not only did he have to resist the Huns, but he also had to consider the struggle between Zhao and the other six kingdoms after the Huns retreated.
He wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible for the Zhao people, so when the Huns entered the country, Li Mu would rather make appropriate sacrifices than engage in a large-scale duel with the Huns, which would increase consumption.
Until now, the time has come to fight back.
September 4th.
Li Mu, who could not hold on for more than half a month, ordered 30,000 Zhao troops to continue to defend Dai City to resist the Huns cavalry who had previously been responsible for containing Zhao troops.
He personally led 20,000 Zhao troops to attack at night, cutting off the Xiongnu's retreat route deep into Zhao territory, making them the lone army entering Zhao territory.
The border of the Zhao people is like a kettle with a long mouth. The middle area is vast, but a part of it stretches out for a long time.
Li Mu took advantage of the terrain and only used 20,000 troops to successfully cut off the Huns entering Zhao territory, and used military formations to cut the incoming Huns cavalry into several groups.
After that, Li Mu still took advantage of the changes in the military formation, surrounded them without attacking, and drove the Xiongnu soldiers westward.
In the end, the Xiongnu cavalry was driven towards Da Qin's defense area.
"The general's clever plan, this move can drive away wolves and tigers, and use the hands of the Qin people to fight the Xiongnu, so that we, the Zhao Dynasty, can sit and watch the two sides fight." In the frontline military camp, a lieutenant general said with admiration.
Li Mu shook his head slightly.
He did not want to use the help of the Qin people to let them fight the Xiongnu, but he just sat on the sidelines and watched...
This was the tacit understanding the two reached after the Prince Qin wrote to him previously.
Although Qin and Zhao are at war with each other, if foreigners attack, we should jointly defend against them... This is what Zhao Huaizhong wrote in his own handwriting in a secret letter to Li Mu.
When the Xiongnu enters the country, kill them!
Xianyang.
"Your Majesty, Li Mu has driven the Xiongnu to our border with Qin."
Fan Qingzhouhui reported: "According to the agreement, our army and the Zhao army can attack from the front and the rear, cannibalize the Huns, and devour the cavalry entering the country in one fell swoop."
"Well, you can just follow the plan." Zhao Huaizhong said.
Ps: The last chapter had more than 2,000 words, which was a bit short. I was so scared that I quickly wrote more words to make up for it. This chapter has more than 3,000 words, so it’s a bit late.
