Eight hundred and thirty seventh chapter protect our society
Stay safe in the middle!
Taihang Baxing is a naturally dangerous pass. Otherwise, General Wang Jian of Qin State would not have been blocked for a long time last time.
Wait patiently. Fighting opportunities are constantly changing. You only need to wait for a suitable opportunity to move in large numbers and defeat Qin in one fell swoop.
"This time Qin attacked Zhao, it was different from other times."
"The Qin Army's more than 400,000 troops did not intend to march secretly, but came with a big fanfare. Their intentions are very clear: firstly, if they do not engage in strange battles, and secondly, if they do not engage in small battles, this battle will definitely annihilate the State of Zhao!"
"As for the direction of the three-pronged armies, their intentions are even clearer: they are not interested in occupying the territory and attacking the city, but are only pursuing the location of my army. The south route is looking for my army in the hinterland, the north route is forcing my Yunzhong frontier troops, and the middle route is facing my main army."
"If all Zhao's army is destroyed, how will Zhao survive?"
Li Mu has received a clear military report. The three armies of the Qin State are approaching in mighty force. Wang Jian is in charge of the center, and his troops are pointing directly at Jingxingkou. The south road leaves Hanoi and approaches Handan. The north road leaves Taiyuan and approaches Yunzhong. Then it goes south to besiege Handan.
This time, the Qin State mobilized the whole country to destroy Zhao in one battle!
Otherwise, they would not have dispatched a combat force that surpassed that of the Battle of Changping!
"The Qin army is hateful and rampant. Although it is known as the army of tigers and wolves, we must capture the tiger and kill the wolf!"
Sima Shang said angrily, bowed his hands again and roared angrily.
The intention of the Qin army was clear. As a soldier of Zhao State, he was fearless. He looked around and said something deeply.
"Catch the tiger and kill the wolf!"
"..."
For a moment, in the shogunate's military tent, people roared and shouted in unison again.
For hundreds of years, Qin and Zhao have been feuding. For many years, Qin and Zhao have fought with each other, winning and losing. Although Zhao is afraid of Qin's army, it is not as helpless as South Korea and Wei.
At that time, the morale of the main soldiers soared, and amidst the admiration from the Shandong states and the flood of praise from the countrymen, they became arrogant and contemptuous of the Qin army.
The generals discussed for a long time that the Zhao army should follow the example of the previous battle, lure the enemy deep into the hinterland of Zhao, and set up an ambush to attack the Qin army!
"General, we are marching south from the northern frontier. The main force is good at volley attacks and inherits King Wu Ling's tactics. The final general believes that if we defend the mountain pass with a strong wall, it is tantamount to giving up our strengths and weaknesses and giving up our army's advantage in cavalry and archery.
.”
"This is inappropriate. If you want to compete with Qin, you must find another battlefield for cavalry and archery."
Lieutenant General Sima Shang continued to speak and explained more detailed countermeasures. Although it was defensive, defense did not mean not to fight with it. He thought about it for a long time and fell deeply into it.
"War strategy should be determined by the general trend."
"In the past few years, although Zhao State has also defeated the Qin army in battles, those soldiers are not the main force led by Wang Jian now, but veteran infantry outside the pass. Coupled with the Qin State Zheng Guo Canal, the loss of national power has not been restored."
"But now, everything is completely different!"
His eyes fell on Sima Shang. This man was a strong general he had trained by himself, and he could completely stand alone. He said that he agreed with him, but he agreed with him. Today's military strategy is also different.
His expression was solemn and solemn, once again falling on the current confrontation between Qin and Zhao.
"Today's Qin army is the result of Wang Jian's six or seven years in the Lantian camp. Five years is enough for an ordinary elite army. Wang Jian has always been a talented general. He once served under Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an of Qin State, and also served in Mongolia.
Ao will serve as general, this main force of 400,000 people cannot be underestimated."
"I came here just to attack and destroy the Zhao Kingdom!"
"In today's Zhao State, there are many traitors and sycophants in the temples. Although it has been resisting Qin for a long time, there is still no overall strategy. The army is mobilized slowly, the generals are determined, and the food, grass and baggage are not fully prepared."
"The only king's order has also disappeared along with the chariots and horses of Hancang, the pig and dog! Today, facing the disaster of annihilation, does the Zhao Guomiao Temple have a plan? No! No!"
Li Mu's face became gloomy unconsciously. He had a lot on his mind, but the current Zhao State had disappointed him. It was approaching the end of the country, and Handan was still in chaos.
Could it be that the opportunity of national destruction was left to Qin?
Emotions were saturated, and roars and roars fell on the ears of each general, and their faces instantly became ashen.
"Generals!"
"Han Cang has now returned to Handan. I don't know what will happen next. But we are waiting for the army to fight against Qin. The army is moving. So far, there seems to be no urgent orders from the king in the temple."
"Should we just leave our generals to fend for themselves?"
Li Mu took a deep breath. The state of Zhao was like this. However, he rolled his mind and thought about the past years when Xiao Cheng was king. Civil servants and generals joined hands to fight against Qin. Even if Qin's general Wu Anjun conquered all the Xia, so what.
"General, it seems...there seems to be a slight break. Maybe that's not the case with the King's letter?"
In the gap, a word came out slowly and slowly.
"In the battle of Changping, the king's orders were issued three times a day. Now I have been waiting here for a long time, and the king's letter is not enough! In the danger of destroying the country, the powerful officials in the temple are so numb. Doesn't the general feel abnormal?"
"If you are all lucky, what can I say? You can leave it alone, and Li Mu will never force you. If you are determined to resist Qin, Li Mu might as well explain the general situation thoroughly, and then plan a war together."
Li Mu smiled coldly.
"I would like to hear what the general has to say!"
Inside the military tent, the generals bowed their hands again and shouted in unison.
"good!"
"A hundred steps from the gate, seal the shogunate!"
Li Mu sheathed the long sword in his hand, took a step closer, leaned on the long sword and stood in front of the first case, looking at the commander of the army.
"Here!"
After dozens of breaths, the Chinese soldiers guarding outside the shogunate hall drove out of the camp gate and formed a continuous belt of spears a hundred steps away. The large banner at the central camp gate was spread flat and drooping, and the two chariots met and closed.
All entrances and exits inside and outside the camp gate are closed.
At the same time, all the military attendants in the shogunate also exited. In the shogunate hall, only Li Mu, a group of generals and three high-ranking commanders were left. The military commander, holding an order flag on his left and a long sword on his right, stood solemnly at the stone door of the hall.
Certainly.
"Nearly half of the generals are veterans of the frontier army. Perhaps they have had contact with the hinterland of Handan in recent years. They have even had contact with Prince Jia and Lord Chunping. They even want to cause trouble. Generally speaking, everyone understands."
"Now in the State of Zhao, King Zhao is extravagant and immoral, and Guo Kaizhi ascends the throne to exercise power. It is not a secret to you. The situation in the State of Zhao is extremely clear. If King Zhao Guo Kai is still in power, the war against Qin will be more difficult than good!"
"Only for this reason, Li Mu officially informs you that I have ordered Sima Shang to make an agreement with Prince Jia and other senior officials. They will decide the country and I will fight against the Qin army!"
Li Mu glanced at the military tent with his bright eyes and spoke loudly.
"Of course, if our army can maintain a stalemate with the Qin army, they can take action and succeed, and the Zhao State may be able to unite the people's hearts and national strength and completely defeat the Qin State. It is not impossible."
"If we fail to do this, we will be in danger!"
"Therefore, the important thing now is whether we can resist Qin, and whether we can be supported by Qin's main army, or even resist one or two!"
Li Mu's words were very clear, either if the resistance against Qin was successful, then Prince Jia and the others would take action and completely unite the power of Zhao.
Otherwise, all hope is lost.
"Resist Qin!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Catch the tiger and kill the wolf!"
"..."
The generals each expressed their thoughts on the war.
“Very good!”
"Li Mu will naturally not deny the generals' feelings. With the skill of cavalry and archery of the frontier troops I brought with me on this trip, if the Zhao Kingdom is like the age of King Xiaocheng, Li Mu will lead a hundred thousand flying cavalry and attack the nine plains of Qin Kingdom from the clouds."
, the two counties of Yunzhong struck a sword from the head of the Qin State, and plunged directly into the Hexi of the Qin State!"
"In this case, if you wait for those who hit you, I will hit mine! There is nothing to be afraid of, a bloody Zhao!"
Looking at the sand table on one side of his body, he drew out the long sword from his waist and abdomen again, and landed on the land in the clouds in the north, and on the land thousands of miles west of the Hexi River in the Qin State.
With those words of encouragement and just a few words, Li Mu felt unbearable in his chest and stomach, and he felt a stream of heat flow from his eyes. He did not dare to forget the kindness of King Xiaocheng in the past. Seeing this, some of the generals in front of him also sighed and shed tears.
What's more, he couldn't stop howling and crying.
The generals understood that the hundreds of thousands of border troops in the north were the invincible elites honed by the general. For decades, although the Huns were strong, they did not dare to look directly at the edge. As expected, they fully utilized their superiority in cavalry and archery and could definitely achieve what the general said.
Results.
Nowadays, the general is known as a famous general who is not inferior to the horse-clad kings Zhao She, Lian Po, Zhao Kuo, Le Yi and others. With one hundred thousand flying cavalry, he can definitely fight against the famous Xia.
But... now, unscrupulous generals have appeared in the Zhao Kingdom, and the general has elite troops, so he can only stay here, giving up the advantage of flying cavalry, and resisting the Qin army's offensive.
No way!
“God willing!”
"We are the people of the State of Zhao. Now that the State of Qin wants to destroy Zhao, we can only do our best to fight against the State of Qin. Li Mu has done everything we can. As for the final victory or defeat, it is left to all the people of Zhao."
People of the country!"
Li Mu wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with one hand. Seeing that his family and country were in danger, but the temple was in disarray, he was filled with grief.
"We are willing to accompany the general to stand in the Qin Kingdom and protect our country!"
At this juncture, the generals fully understand the general's heart. How can he be like this without a true heart for the country?
He sighed with emotion and continued to roar.
"Looking at it now, Qin may not be able to successfully destroy Zhao, and we may not be able to defeat it!"
"Although our army has given up the advantage of cavalry and archery, it still has natural dangers. Although the Qin army is strong, it is weak due to natural dangers."
"The most important thing is that you generals must understand the general trend of our army at the expense of its strengths and guard its shortcomings, and clearly inform the officers and soldiers in each department, so that the officers and soldiers will not feel aggrieved and can defend tenaciously! But if you have morale, you will be able to resist.
Qin!"
Li Mu gathered himself together and continued to talk, the long sword kept sliding on the sand table.
"I would like to hear the general's order!"
The generals' bodies were all shimmering with mysterious light, and they wished they could leave the seclusion and fight the Qin army now.
"Generals, listen to your orders!"
"Within ten days, each tribe will be divided according to the defensive terrain, and each will build strong walls and ditches, with many rolling wooden stones, crossbows and arrowheads. The craftsmen camp will dredge the water channels to ensure that the water from Jingxing flows into each tribe's camp."
"The military battalion must step up its efforts to build bows, crossbows, arrowheads, and various defensive equipment. The baggage battalion shall obey the general's orders and immediately rush to the hinterland counties to supervise the transportation of grain and grass. When the Qin army arrives, the general's orders are not allowed, and no unit is allowed to go to war without authorization.
But anyone who disobeys the order will be subject to military law!"
Li Mu ordered in an orderly manner, simple and clear, and fell in the ears of each general.
"Here!"
The generals bowed their hands deeply, and then the entire Zhao camp where hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered moved into action.
