Boom!
The lightning flashes and the rain pours.
The battle lasted until nightfall.
After the war, Yang Ruihe retreated.
Li Mu, wearing a raincoat, inspected the resting soldiers in the rain, frowning, and said to Sima Shang beside him:
"I marched secretly for several days and entered the battlefield with a surprise attack.
This Qin army was surrounded and attacked by you and me from both sides, but it still dared to take the initiative to fight and retreated unscathed, which is beyond my expectation."
Sima Shang's face was covered with blood. In the fierce battle just now, he was struck by Yang Ruihe with a sword. If Li Mu hadn't come to his rescue, he would have been killed on the spot.
"This is the most elite unit of the Qin army. When the five kingdoms jointly attacked Qin, this Qin army with strange textures on its armor first appeared and defeated the five kingdoms' coalition at that time.
In recent years, the Qin army has been conquering the east and west, and its battle formations are extremely experienced. In addition, the soldiers and armor and other equipment it is equipped with are far beyond ordinary in attack and defense. Without a force several times its size, there is no chance of victory.
The general's ability to defeat them is something no one has ever accomplished before."
Li Mu said solemnly: "I gave up the border town to return reinforcements and made a surprise attack, but I was still evenly matched with this Qin army. What kind of achievement is it?"
Not far away, a Zhao army soldier had his leg injured and his skin was turned outward, but he pursed his lips tightly and remained silent. When he saw Li Mu approaching, he struggled to stand up and salute.
The other Zhao troops around him also looked at Li Mu with reverence on their faces.
Li Mu's arrival seemed to bring endless hope to these Zhao soldiers, and everyone's eyes were bright.
Li Mu glanced at the Zhao Jun in front of him one by one, and suddenly felt sad for some reason. He slowly stepped forward and personally helped Zhao Jun bandage his wounds.
————
The rain has stopped.
To the southwest of Zhaojing, between Yiyang and Yucheng, there is a low mountain.
After the fierce battle, Yang Ruihe led his troops to come here to rest.
He took out the dry military uniforms and wound medicine from the gourd, changed the soldiers' clothes, and then inspected the damage of the soldiers, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.
In the fighting that lasted only half an hour in the rain, the Qin army suffered more than 7,000 casualties.
Since entering Zhao territory, there has never been such a big loss.
"I was a little careless, it was so dangerous.
If our army had not all been elites who have fought in hundreds of battles, and their morale remained strong after seeing Li Mu's surprise attack, we would have been killed by Li Mu at this moment."
Yang Ruihe felt a chill in his back, and said to the deputy general Meng Yi beside him: "In the past, I was too arrogant and thought that there was no one in Zhao territory, so I almost lost the battle."
Yang Ruihe is a general with civilian background. He is modest and good at summarizing his own mistakes to avoid making the same mistakes again.
Meng Yi nodded and said: "Zhao people often say that as long as Li Mu is here, the Zhao Kingdom will be unbreakable. It seems that it is not a lie."
Yang Ruihe said: "This man disappeared during the march. Everyone thought he was still in the border town. They didn't know how he could suddenly kill him. I was unprepared in advance."
Meng Yi muttered: "Li Mu came to stop us and rescue King Zhao. In terms of the war situation, this is actually good news. The Zhao people's border city is in danger."
In mid-June, Li Mu made a surprise attack on Yang Ruihe's troops, and then re-established a defense line 800 miles north of Handan to resist the Qin army.
However, Zhao was in Qiuyang on the border, so Wang Jian seized the opportunity and launched an offensive. By late June, Zhao generals were forced to defend the city for four days.
Qiu Yang was destroyed.
Hu Zou was beheaded by the Qin army, and then the Qin army advanced all the way. All the Zhao troops defending the city they met along the way were defeated. There were more than 30,000 dead and wounded prisoners, and more than 10,000 seriously wounded soldiers. Wang Jian deliberately let them go to create chaos.
The power of Zhao people.
After this battle, the Qin army entered the Zhao Kingdom in full force, and its troops pointed directly at the heart of the Zhao Kingdom.
At the end of June, the Qin army pressed forward and was forced to 800 miles away from Handan, where they encountered Li Mu again.
Xianyang.
Zhao Huaizhong stared at the battle report in front of him, and his thoughts fluctuated: In history, King Zhao finally destroyed the Great Wall, and Li Mu was killed... The Zhao people are not far from being destroyed!
