The war report from Jidu is an absolute torture for Lejian.

Li Mu did not walk from the front, but went around his back, which was something that Lejian never expected.

In fact, even if Lejian thought of it, he would probably have no choice but to do anything about it.

The role of the Great Wall defense line is always to show warning rather than defense. It is completely unreliable to block all enemies in the north with a Great Wall. The leaders of any country in Qin, Zhao and Yan know this well.

The Great Wall is even better when used in attack than for simple defense, because it is impossible to have enough troops everywhere from the defense line from east to west, even if it is to pull all the population of Yan State to the Great Wall.

Judging from past battle examples, the most effective method that Lejian can think of should be cavalry against cavalry.

There are not no cavalry in Yan State. In fact, in recent years, Lejian has consciously requested many Hu tribes who surrendered to Yan State to offer war horses, and even tried to summon some Hu cavalry to join the army to improve the combat effectiveness of Yan State cavalry.

But unfortunately, all these actions in Lejian ended up failing.

It is never easy to train a cavalry. It is not just to get a horse and then to get a person up and say that this guy is a cavalry. He needs to go through very systematic training, and then train through some small-scale battles, and then let the cavalry take shape slowly.

In addition, cavalry is also a very expensive army. The war horses themselves require money, and the supporting equipment requires money, and it is a large amount of money over the years.

There is not so much time in the music room, and there is not so much money in the Yan State.

One thing that must be said is that decades ago, Qin Kai, the general of Yan State, defeated the Donghu people who came to provoke through a mixed method of chariot and stairs, and allowed the Donghu people to flee thousands of miles away. Therefore, the ministers of Yan State unanimously agreed that the chariot soldiers could defeat the cavalry, but the problem was that the method was wrong.

Under such circumstances, the voices of the musician demanding the development of cavalry were greatly resisted, and even the Yan State military had many dissatisfactions.

This makes it very difficult to implement the method of training cavalry in Lejian. Now, there are only 10,000 cavalry in Yan State, and half of them still need to be stationed in Liaodong. Only 5,000 cavalry can be held in Lejian.

It is a dream that the five thousand cavalrymen want to defeat Li Mu in person.

In addition, the main force of the Zhao State Border Cavalry Legion had arrived outside Linle City a few days ago, firmly blocking the entire Linle City.

If Lejian chose to break through at this moment, then the border cavalry army of Zhao would be very happy to chase the Yan army along the way, leaving the Yan army to leave countless bodies behind.

Lejian knew very well that as long as he retreated, the 200,000 soldiers of Yan State in Linle City would be all over!

So Lejian immediately replied a pigeon letter to Yan from Jidu, and informed Yan of all the current situation, and stated that he would not retreat or retreat.

Of course, Lejian also comforted Yan after all, Jidu’s tall city wall was placed there, and as long as he was well guarded, Li Mu would definitely not take the city away.

In Lejian's opinion, the cavalry may be able to play infantry in applause on the plain, but the cavalry's siege is a joke, a huge joke.

In fact, Lejian never thought about turning the tide and defeating Zhao Jun. After all, he knew very well that he was not his father Leyi. If it were Leyi, he might be able to deal with Zhao people. However, Lejian was taken care of by his father since childhood, and his father passed away too early, so he did not completely let Lejian learn the skills of General Leyi.

Sometimes Lejian was also very moved. If he had the skills of his father to lead the army, even 50% of the Yan State might not have fallen to this point now, right?

However, this is not a time to mourn yourself, because the joy must be supported until the arrival of a turning point.

Lejian didn't believe that the other five congresses were standing by and watching him. He already knew that Qi was secretly transporting supplies to support Yan State by shipping. He felt that as long as he could last for a while, when everyone felt that the people of Zhao were completely helpless against Yan State, other countries would definitely not stand by and watch.

This may be a great death or injury, or it may take a very long time, just like Lejian's father Leyi had besieged Jimo for several years, but Lejian believed that he would definitely come to great prosperity and would win the final turnaround for Yan State.

On the other side, the tall Xidu had already appeared in Li Mu's sight.

To be honest, this is the first time Li Mu has seen this city.

It has to be said that this is indeed a majestic city. The huge walls made of blue and black stones have been built for hundreds of years. Although they seem a little worn, the precipitated heavy weight shocked everyone.

The first moment he saw this city wall, Li Mu told the fact that Yiqiusheng around him was like this.

"We can't conquer this city."

Yiqusheng rolled his eyes in anger: "Of course, the wall of this city is at least three times that of my Yiqu City! Moreover, the cavalry is not used to attack the city."

"Of course cavalry can be used to attack the city." Li Mu shrugged his shoulders, trying to make his tone seem relaxed when he spoke: "As long as he can attack this city, it doesn't matter if all the cavalry under my command are buried under the city wall. It's a pity that even if I really do that, I can't capture this city."

Before he knew it, Li Mu's way of speaking began to be influenced by Yi Qusheng.

Yiqiusheng snorted and said, "So should we start robbing the surrounding villages now? Give me a thousand people, and I will definitely make it impossible for all Yanguo villages within a hundred miles to live in!"

Li Mu shook his head, and a strange light suddenly appeared on his face: "There is no need for that. I will send a team to carry out the robbery, as long as there is enough food."

Yi Qusheng looked at Li Mu with some curiosity and said, "Don't you want to drive all the Yan people into Jidu?"

Li Mu said: "Of course I want to do this, but the owner of this city will not open the door and let the people of Yan enter the city."

"Why?" Yiqiusheng was obviously a little puzzled.

Li Mu pointed to the Yan flag that was still flying high above the city gate and said, "Because this is Yan State, not Qin State. Qin's laws are strict, and with the law, the big sword hanging high above the head, the officials of Qin will devote themselves to guard the lives of the people of Qin State. But what about Yan State? This is just a country belonging to the nobles, the most conservative and backward among the seven major warring countries. For these Yan State nobles, the lives of civilians are no different from those of ants. How could they pay attention to these civilians?"

Yiqiusheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "What should I do now? Since the nobles of Yan State are unwilling to save their common people, we might as well kill all the Yan State nearby, so that they might scare them."

"In this case, Zhao State will not be able to rule this area in the next thirty years." Li Mu looked at Yiqusheng with great contempt, and then said: "What we have to do now is very simple, that is, to surround this damn city!"

So at the command of Li Mu, he and the ten thousand cavalry under him rushed towards the distant Jidu in smoke and dust.

The scene of ten thousand cavalry covering the plains covered with countless smoke and dust was very spectacular and terrifying. When Li Mu deliberately asked to lengthen the formation, all the Yan defenders standing on the Jidu wall were a little weak, because they suddenly felt that the Zhao cavalry that was attacking this time seemed completely boundless.

Especially after Li Mu ordered the four thousand cavalry to be divided into four teams and kept shuttled under the city wall of Jidu, all the people in Jidu knew the fact that the cavalry of Zhao people ran under the city for an hour and had not yet arrived yet!

Yi Qusheng undoubtedly sneered at Li Mu's approach: "What are you doing? It's useless except for consuming horsepower in vain. You won't feel that you scared the people in the city, and they will run out to surrender to you, right?"

Regarding Yiqiusheng's question, Li Mu nodded very seriously: "Yes, that's what I think. If what I expected was not bad, there would probably be people from Yan who came to contact me secretly in the past two days."

Yi Qusheng widened his eyes. If it weren't for witnessing almost all of Li Mu's past achievements with his own eyes, a whim would have blurted out of Yi Qusheng's mouth.

However, Yiqiusheng was shocked and did not even take two days, because on that night, Yiqiusheng received the messenger from the city with Li Mu as the deputy general.

It is worth mentioning that there are several groups of such messengers...

"What's going on? Are the Yan people really so timid? How did such a timid Yan people defeat Donghu?" Yi Qusheng felt that he couldn't understand at all, and his mind was full of question marks.

Li Mu glanced at Yiqusheng, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Actually, the answer to the question is very simple. These Yan people were not scared by the ten thousand cavalry in our hands. What really scared them was actually the powerful Zhao State behind us."

"Zhao State?"

"Yes, Zhao State." Li Mu nodded and said, "I believe that everyone in Jidu understands that Yan State cannot be a rival to Zhao State. In this case, how much fighting spirit do you think the Yan State in the city will have? Perhaps most people will indeed fight against us to the end, but... there will always be a small number of people who are afraid of life and death, and the nobles are often the kind of people who are most greedy for life and fear of death."

Yi Qusheng suddenly understood: "So you specially put on that look during the day today, actually just to make the Yan people feel that a large army of Zhao has arrived?"

"That's right." Li Mu smiled and said, "As long as the nobles of Yan State who are greedy and afraid of death in the city feel that I have a force that can break through Jidu, they will definitely contact us on their own initiative. Because they have no idea about themselves. As soon as they discover our arrival, they will be afraid and afraid and will definitely be impatient to throw themselves into our arms."

As he said that, Li Mu shook the document in his hand and smiled: "This is what is called 'striking the city as the best, attacking the heart as the best'. Have a few days off. If everything goes well, this city will probably be our pocket soon."
