Chapter 2608 It is easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Wei army!
The two rear lines were intercepted by the Han army. This news was not to blame for the earth-shattering news.
The Qin army, which was originally noisy and boiling, suddenly fell into a dead silence...
...
"Special service officers and soldiers, will the Qin army really return to help the food road?"
The Lan cavalry general who followed Li Mu and defected to the Han Dynasty was called Zhao Xiong, and he is now also a captain under Li Mu.
Li Mu was wearing heavy and powerful armor, with a Zhenyue sword on his waist, and his eyes were like eagles, sharp and majestic: "Li Xin, known as the veteran general of the Qin State, has led troops for decades, and he has become cautious in using troops. Now he has received food and supplies."
The intercepted news means that we must give up attacking Wancheng City to save..."
"If he dares to come, I, the general, will personally pick off his head!"
In the duel between the two armies, aside from the frontal battlefield competition, logistical supplies are also an extremely important part.
People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don’t have enough food, how can you have the strength to carry weapons and kill the enemy?
Generals who know military strategies all know how dire the consequences will be once logistical supplies are cut off by the enemy.
Especially if the morale of the army is shaken, our own side will fall into a passive situation for the entire next battle.
"The purpose of today's battle is to completely destroy the Qin army. Send an order to all the generals to ambush and kill all the troops. Li Xin must not be taught away."
"Here!"
The soldiers who sent orders in the army clasped their fists loudly and took the order and left.
The school captain Zhao Xiong sighed: "The special service officers are armed and use troops like gods. If King Zhao had used the special service officers and soldiers to resist the Qin army, how could there have been a defeat in Changping?"
"No, you are wrong."
Li Mu said solemnly: "Victory or defeat lies between a country, not one person! In the battle of Changping, our army's food route has been cut off, so the responsibility for the defeat does not lie entirely on Zhao Kuo. Even if I personally supervise the army, at most I will let him go."
The Qin army has sacrificed tens of thousands of lives, but will still be defeated in the end..."
Zhao Xiong sighed and said nothing.
Li Mu continued: "Today, I used his method to return the favor and cut off the Qin army's food route. The 200,000 Qin army is like a turtle in an urn. It can be wiped out in one battle. If the Qin army is destroyed, the country of Yi will be unable to support itself. Wan
The siege of the city cannot be relieved without fighting. Your Majesty has other arrangements. The troops will march directly to Huainan. The battle of Yingdu will be a battle that affects the hearts of the world..."
A look of admiration suddenly appeared on Zhao Xiong's face, and he said: "His Majesty the Holy Emperor, you are truly a man of great talent and strategy, which is admirable."
Li Mu nodded and sighed: "His majesty's sacred writings and martial arts are so majestic in the world that Li Mu has only seen him in his life!"
...
...
Wancheng.
This is the seventeenth day that Yue Fei led the Wei army to defend the city.
The area around Wancheng was ablaze with blood and fire. Standing at the top of the city and looking around, there were corpses everywhere and a sea of blood.
The death toll of Beiwei's army exceeded 10,000, and everyone who defended the city was injured. Even Yue Fei himself was hit by a stray arrow in the shoulder.
But the Qin and Chu coalition forces paid almost ten times the price!
More than 100,000 warriors from both countries were buried forever in Wancheng, never to return to their hometown again...
On the 18th, Li Xin, the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, looked at the majestic Wancheng City and sighed: "It is easy to shake the mountains, but it is difficult to shake the Wei army!"
On that day, the Qin army under Wancheng withdrew overnight, leaving behind a camp.
Li Xinxin was full of frustration.
He did not hesitate to issue a military order and lead 200,000 troops to conquer the Han Dynasty, just to prove to the world that his military ability, Li Xingxin, was definitely not inferior to Wang Jian or Bai Qi!
The results run counter to the ideal.
The Han army suddenly appeared and cut off the Qin army's food route. Daily supplies for the 200,000 Qin army were in question. Naturally, they could no longer sustain the siege of Wancheng. Li Xin knocked out his teeth and sucked blood into his stomach.
Liton had no choice but to retreat sadly.
"I hate it!!"
Li Xin, wearing heavy black armor, looked back at the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
"Why is the old general doing this?"
Xin Lie, the deputy general of the army, cupped his fists and advised: "Winning or losing is a common matter for military officers. Today the food route was cut off and we had to withdraw our troops. This is not a crime of war. We will wait until the rear areas are cleared, then lead the army to level Wan City and massacre the city for three days.
Only then can you relieve the hatred in your heart."
Li Xin said with a lonely expression: "After today's battle, I broke my trust with you. Military law severely punishes me. I'm afraid I will never have the opportunity to lead an army in battle..."
Qin State attaches great importance to laws and regulations. Li Xin's failure in leading the attack this time will cause him to be held accountable by military law even if he misses the opportunity to fight. It will be a stain on his military career!
Xin Lie advised: "At this time, all the countries in the world are not destroyed. The Han Emperor is so talented and powerful that he is engulfing the Central Plains. There is also the country of Yi dormant in the south. It is the right time for your Majesty to employ people. You will definitely not destroy the Great Wall until it is over."
After a sudden storm, the old general is highly respected in the army and will be used again sooner or later..."
"I hope so!"
The general's mood seemed to be contagious, and the morale of the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops was also low, and their formation was no longer strict.
After marching for a while, we happened to pass through a steep valley. At the foot of the mountain stood a stone tablet with the words "Luo Ma Slope" written on it.
"The general falls from his horse, and the strong man returns home!"
Li Xin looked lonely and lonely, but because of his experience as a general, he still subconsciously looked at the terrain of Qi Luo Ma Po.
The terrain of Luomapo is relatively complex, with towering peaks on both sides and hills and ravines, making it easy to ambush and defend the top!
There are many trees on the mountainside. Once the enemy really appears, they can roll rocks and knock trees from the mountains on both sides to block the road, cut off the water source, pour kerosene, and use the wind to attack with fire. I am afraid that the Qin army will not be able to survive.
...
Um...wait!?
Thinking of this, Li Xin was horrified.
At this moment, a desolate and chilling horn sound suddenly sounded among the peaks!
When the security guards of the Qin Army heard this blast of murderous horns, they gasped one after another, and the hairs all over their bodies stood on end!
What the hell is going on?
After successfully withdrawing the troops and returning home, why are there still people intercepting the road and ambushing them!?
"The Han army... indeed set up an ambush at Luomapo!"
Li Xin's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked up. On the peaks on both sides of Luo Ma Slope, the iron-blooded red dragon banners of the Han Dynasty were fluttering in the wind, and a group of wolf-like and tiger-like Han bodyguards poured out like a tide.
Everywhere you look, there are armors of powerful soldiers of the Han Dynasty!
Everywhere there are engraved swords forged by the Ministry of Industry of the Han Dynasty, shining with cold light!
The powerful warriors of the Han Dynasty raised their arms and roared, and the whole land was shaking uncontrollably. They were like tigers swallowing thousands of miles!
The earth trembled and the mountains shook, and the shouts of death turned into furious waves, shocking the hearts of the people.
Li Xin, the commander-in-chief of the Qin State, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
