Chapter 111: The first experience of leading soldiers in the cavalry

After Zhao Kuo arrived at the Great Wall of Zhao, he did not do anything earth-shattering.

He ate with his soldiers, often rested with them, he ordered that no one should withhold their rewards, and that they should be given fair food and clothing, and he punished a number of generals who took pleasure in mistreating them, and got rid of a few wicked men who killed them. No matter what others think, Zhao Kuo felt that he had just done something that generals in history would do, something very simple.

But the impact of his behavior on Zhao Ren is not just so simple.

The generals of the various defense areas sat in comfortable tents, looking at the sumptuous meal in front of them, but they couldn't eat it for a long time, fortunately, most of the people in this era still want to be faced, Zhao Kuo followed the soldiers to eat scones, and slept with the soldiers in the exposed field, how could they come to eat the meat in front of them with peace of mind? The generals walked out one after another and sat among the soldiers, and the soldiers also felt a great change in a short time.

Originally, those high-ranking generals actually began to talk and laugh with them, and no longer beat them at every turn, they could eat more than usual, and no one dared to withhold all kinds of materials, and even arranged for people to write family letters for all the soldiers, and get in touch with their families, and the soldiers who had not had any form of contact with their relatives for many years held the family letters that they could not understand, and burst into tears.

It is said that after arriving at the battlefield, Ma Fujun sent people to look for a soldier named Heron, and finally, in Wucheng, he found the heron and told him: Your mother has died, and I have sent your father burial goods and food for your life. Heron howled and said, "With you, I don't have to worry about my father having no one to raise after he dies in battle." ”

On the entire Zhao defense line, the original atmosphere of silence, despair, and sadness dissipated. When Lian Po saw the soldiers who came to ask for battle, Lian Po was a little stunned, am I really not as good as that hairy boy? ? This plunged the old general into a deep sense of self-doubt.

Overall, though, it's a good thing.

Wu'an City, the bloody Li Mu, wiped the blood on his face, so that he could see the battlefield in front of him clearly, his spear had broken twelve, and he killed more than thirty Qin people with his own hands, his record, if it was placed on the side of the Qin people, it was estimated that he would be able to upgrade to four levels in a row. Since coming to this Wu'an City, Li Mu has fallen in love with this city, which is the gateway to Handan and the most important point to replenish soldiers.

As a result, some of the bravest samurai lived here.

It was those old men in the city, and they pulled out a few at random, and they were all old heroes who had followed Zhao Hao to cut down the Qin people.

Li Mu led 50,000 soldiers to garrison here, this is the first time he commanded the soldiers to fight, this is not Lian Pi's favoritism, he was on the battlefield of Changping, with a thousand cavalry, stunned to defeat the same number of Qin people, and the casualties are very few, just within half a year, he has made a lot of contributions, Lian Po is strong to dispel public opinion, with Li Mu, a young man to garrison Wu'an City, Li Mu is not only happy, in fact, there is also fear.

Especially when encountering the Qin people's siege, seeing the neat Qin people rushing towards the city, several times almost on the city, Li Mu was even more in a hurry, the Qin people launched a siege from three sides, Li Mu can only take care of one side and can not do everything, the reason why he can win, the first is the courage of the soldiers, the Qin people are very keenly felt, this originally lifeless Zhao army, burst out of unparalleled courage, they fought bloodily, this degree of fear of death is almost more than the Qin people!

There was even Zhao Zu who directly hugged the Qin people and threw himself off the city wall! This kind of bravery originally belonged only to the Qin people.

The second is the reinforcements, when Tian Yue led the same fierce soldiers to launch an attack on the Qin people from behind, the Qin people were defeated, Li Mu standing on the city wall panted and looked at the Qin people in the distance, this was the first time he saw such a rout of the Qin people, the Qin people shouted, dropped their weapons, and fled in a hurry, Tian Yue was charged, and captured a lot, the soldiers who guarded Wu'an City, the soldiers who came to the rescue, looking at such a scene, were excited and speechless.

Strictly speaking, this was their first victory over the Qin state.

The Qin people left more than 10,000 corpses outside the city of Wu'an and fled, the soldiers shouted with their arms, and some even knelt on the city wall and wept.

On the broken city wall, it seems that there has just been a blood rain, the city wall is constantly flowing blood, this blood is not low, it is like a waterfall rolling down, it can be seen that this blood rain is still a rainstorm, Li Mu sat on the city wall, watching the soldiers lift the remains of his comrades, he gasped for breath. He didn't expect that he would be afraid when the Qin people rushed towards him frantically.

He is not afraid of death, he is afraid of failure, he is afraid of the gateway of Handan, thrown in his own hands, looking left and right, there is no Lian Po who can ask about big things, Ma Fujun, can only roast himself, fortunately, the city is guarded, this is a huge victory. Not far away, a burly general dragged the young man and walked to Li Mu's side step by step, Li Mu raised his head, and the people who came were Tian Yue and Sima Shang. 56

Li Mu struggled to get up, but Tian Yue sat down directly, and Sima Shang was almost dragged down by him.

"Pursuit, send cavalry to pursue, the whole army of the Qin people will die here!" , Sima Shang shouted angrily, but Tian Yue just grabbed his arm tightly, did not answer, looked at Li Mu calmly, and said, "There is fraud!" Li Mu looked at him in surprise, and Tian Yue continued: "There are many soldiers besieging the city, but less than half of them participated in the siege, and the rest are just watching under the city, it seems that they are deliberately waiting for reinforcements. ”

"We had just arrived, and before they had yet to fight, they dropped their weapons and began to flee... There must be an ambush in the distance, this is the Qin people want to lead us into battle. After Tian Yue finished speaking, he glanced at Sima Shang beside him, and when he saw Sima Shang who was contemplative, he let go of his hand and asked, "General Li Mu, what do you think?" Hearing Tian Yue's words, Li Mu suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"You're right, the Qin people have very few siege equipment, if they want to break through the city, they will definitely be prepared, instead of rushing to face the battle like this."

"Send scouts and report the situation here to General Zhao Kuo."

.......

Zhao Kuo looked at the letter sent from Wu'an City, frowned, and gently knocked on the wooden case in front of him, and after a while, he called Li Yu in, Li Yu sat aside, Zhao Kuo said: "No matter what Bai Qi wants to do, meritorious soldiers, can not be rewarded, please bring eight hundred sheep, and bring more millet and money, go to Wu'an City, and reward the soldiers for me." ”

"Eight hundred sheep... Is it a little too much? ”

"Not much, please call me in."

"Yui!"

Soon after Li Yu left, Xing walked in and stood in front of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo looked at him, wanted to say something, but he just pursed his lips, and couldn't say it, very hesitant, Xing looked at Zhao Kuo, smiled, and said, "What does the general have to order?" Zhao Kuo looked at him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I need someone who can quietly rush to the Qin people and find out the details of the Qin people..."

"However, this is very dangerous, outside the Great Wall, the Qin people are raging, and this is almost going to death."

Fortunately, he understood, he said seriously: "General, when you didn't take me in, I was just a thief, and the villagers were afraid of me and didn't love me, and now, I am the doorman of the most benevolent and righteous people in the world, and no one does not respect me, I know that you are not willing to let me die for you, but there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers here, and their lives are heavier than my lives." If my lives could be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of lives, I would be willing to go. ”

"No one's life is more valuable."

"No, if I die, you are the only one who weeps for me, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are dead, so how many will mourn a million?"

"You are a benevolent and righteous person, why don't you do what you suffer for the people of Zhao Kingdom?"

Zhao Kuo slowly stood up and said to Xing: "This time you go out, you can choose five hundred people, no matter whether it is successful or not, please come back alive, this is a military order." ”

"Yui!"
