Before the two sides came into contact, Zhao Jun's two "wheels" were operating normally, but as soon as the battle reached a certain point, the shape of the "wheels" changed.
Zhao Jun, who originally wanted to defeat the Zhou army in mobile warfare, was unable to withstand the violent impact at the three points attacked. This is not surprising. Twenty thousand people formed two large circles, and the average strength of a certain section was very limited. As for Zhou Jun, he was like three clenched fists, able to point out the Arrancar easily.
Moreover, once the "wheel" loses its original shape, the so-called mobile warfare will be declared bankrupt.
Zhao Mu did not expect that Xiao Wei Mou's battle formation was so vulnerable. He turned around and was about to ask, but found that he had already driven his carriage towards the camp.
Grandma's, what do you mean?
Zhao Mu was appointed as the head coach of the Zhao army, but he did not rely on his true talents and knowledge. The only two people in the entire Zhao country who could fight were Li Mu and Sima Shang. Unfortunately, these two people had been driven out of the army by him and Guo Kai. The current Zhao army is completely Mediocrity reigns supreme.
It seems that he is really no match. Zhao Mu also came up with the idea of escape. Wei Mou has already run away. If I stay here, am I seeking death?
Zhao Mu climbed onto his chariot and urged the driver: "Turn around quickly and go back to the camp!"
"What?" The coachman thought he heard wrongly.
"Go back to the camp, quickly, or I will kill you!" Zhao Mu shouted hysterically.
When he shouted, "It doesn't matter." The surrounding soldiers heard clearly. The general was about to flee, so let's flee too. As a result, before his carriage even started to turn around, the Zhao army had already begun to retreat.
Ji Jie led his troops to arrive and shouted: "Come on, kill this thief Zhao Mu!"
"Kill Zhao Mu...kill Zhao Mu..."
The soldiers of the Zhou army shouted, and Zhao Mu was so frightened that his legs went weak. He sat down on the carriage and said in a trembling voice: "Hurry up, if I die, you won't survive. I must be able to return safely." Big camp, there are many rewards, coachman, you should be faster!"
The carriage carrying Zhao Mu fled away. If he pursued it again, he would be within the range of the enemy's long-range weapons. Ji Jie ordered the withdrawal in time.
Although only a few thousand Zhao soldiers were killed in this battle, their general was frightened and would never dare to confront the Zhou army in a short period of time. The next one to be dealt with was the Wei army.
Although Zhao Mu ran back to the camp safely, he was still in shock and panting heavily.
Wei Mou clamored outside the tent to see him, and Zhao Mu said angrily: "What is he doing here? He's setting up a broken formation to bully me because I don't know what to do, right? Even if it's a neat square shape, it won't be as bad as soon as we engage in battle." Set up a formation and let him go, I don't want to see him!"
"Haha, why would Marquis Julu be so angry!" Xiao Wei Mou walked in with a smile, and Zhao Mu's guards could not stop him at all.
Xiao Wei Mou found a grand reason for himself: Zhou Jun was too powerful and Zhao Jun was not familiar with the double-wheel formation, so he was defeated. He completely blamed his own mistakes and didn't even mention it at all.
Zhao Mu, who was not familiar with the formation, certainly didn't know the hidden meaning. Seeing that he was still angry, Xiao Wei Mou smiled and said, "Otherwise, in two days I will call for the formation and use the double-wheel formation to fight against Ji Jie's." Cavalry, take a good look at how my soldiers fight against the enemy!"
"Come on, you don't think the defeat was bad enough, right?" Zhao Mu said angrily.
"Then let's not try it. I'll listen to Marquis Julu!" Xiao Wei Mou got off the slope. To be honest, he wouldn't do another wheel formation in front of Zhao Mu. Wouldn't that reveal his secret?
…
Ji Jie knew very well that after this battle, Zhao Mu and Xiao Wei Mou must have a rift in their hearts. Taking this opportunity to add some firewood and fire to them, they would be able to successfully disintegrate the Three Jin Alliance.
Han An continuously sent all kinds of information to Ji Jie, and he immediately made a decision to ask Ji Jian, who was stationed in Dragon City, to send 10,000 men to a long-distance attack to eliminate Zhao's grain transport team.
After Ji Jian received the order, he sent Taishi Yong to take on this task. Taishi Yong lived up to expectations and led 10,000 cavalry to attack for a day and a night. He intercepted Zhao Jun's grain and grass brigade five hundred miles away from Longcheng. Put out the fire and leave nothing for them.
Seeing that Zhao Jun's food and grass were about to run out, Zhao Mu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Zhao's transportation line was very long, and it would take at least half a month for the next batch of food to be delivered. Otherwise, he would have to be humble and talk to Han An. , clamoring for Wei Mou to borrow grain.
Xiao Wei Mou lent him 30,000 shi of food, but Han An refused directly, saying that they did not have much food. Anyway, South Korea had already made up its mind to withdraw from the Three Jin Alliance, so why bother to do the meat buns and beat the dogs anymore.
With two hundred thousand troops and tens of thousands of horses, the daily food consumption was huge. Thirty thousand stones of food and grass were exhausted within a few days. The second batch of food ordered by King Zhao had just started on the road and would take ten days to arrive.
Zhao Mu had no choice but to find Wei Mou again. Not only could he not say a word about what happened last time, but he also had to beg him in kind words, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Xiao Wei Mou was generous enough to borrow another twenty thousand dan, but of course he was not so kind. Zhao Mu was ripped off and promised to pay him back 60,000 dan when his own grain and grass arrived.
As a result, Zhao's army's food and grass had just left Zhao's territory and entered Wei's territory. They were robbed again, and not a grain of food was left. It was Ji Jian's Dragon City soldiers and horses who did it.
Zhao Mu was going crazy. Why did the Zhou Dynasty only rob me of Zhao’s food? Is it possible that Zhao’s food was better than that of Wei and South Korea? Also, why did they succeed twice, and both of them were within Wei’s territory? , Wei's border defense capabilities are not that bad, right? People have entered the hinterland and no one has noticed?
Just when he was confused, Han An asked to see him.
"No!" Zhao Mu was annoyed. In addition, he didn't want to deal with Han An's refusal to lend him food last time.
"Prince Han said that there is something very important!" The messenger lowered his voice and said, "He said that we have a spy inside, and it is of great importance, and we must meet with you!"
spy?
Yes, there must be spies, otherwise how could the Zhou army know the route and time of our Zhao army's food transportation? If they didn't know this, how could they take such a big risk and attack over such a long distance.
"Please!" Zhao Mu simply straightened his clothes and sat on the main seat.
Han An came in, and the two of them saluted each other. After he sat down, he took out a letter and said: "This is what my people found from a person who wanted to sneak into the coalition camp. After preliminary interrogation, the person was affiliated with The special supervisor of Da Zhou, responsible for correspondence between spies and Ji Jie."
"Oh, there is such a thing!" Zhao Mu took the envelope and took out the letterhead inside. He was startled when he saw it. It read: General Xiao personally announced that Zhou can defeat Zhao Jun and He The success of these two raids on their food routes is due to the general's indispensable contribution. When the coalition forces retreat, I will give you one hundred thousand gold. I hope that the general can continue to deliver the intelligence of the Zhao and Han armies to me in a timely manner. I am very grateful. The character of Zhaowenjun Jijie of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
