In the next ten days, the Yan army and the Zhao army fought in the vicinity of Pingcheng every day.

As the sun sets, the battle under Heijo Castle is over again.

After so many days, the Zhao army led by Li Mu really saw the strength of the Yan army, not to mention the infantry of the Yan army, the cavalry of the Yan army was more elite, galloping on the battlefield, it can be said that it came and went like the wind, invincible.

Li Muzhi's army has always regarded itself as an elite cavalry, but under the blows of the Yan army, it has been repeatedly defeated.

After paying a huge price, Li Mu captured a war horse of the Yan army.

When the generals of Zhao State saw the equipment on this war horse, everyone couldn't believe their eyes.

The saddle, stirrups, and the horseshoe, which was only discovered in the end, all gave Li Mu a great shock.

After Sima Shang rode the captured war horse, he came to Li Mu and said with a pale face:

"General, this battle can't be fought. No wonder the cavalry of the Yan Army is so elite, the equipment of these cavalry is too powerful, our army can't fight against it at all! ”

After hearing this, many of the generals of the Zhao army beside Li Mu all nodded yes.

Li Mu simply didn't know what to say to Sima Shang.

The fighting in the past few days has already made the morale of the Zhao army sluggish.

You big mouth, you are actually saying this here, can this battle still be fought?

Li Mu didn't want to deal with Sima Shang anymore, standing on top of the city tower, his waist was still straight.

Looking at the soldiers of the two armies under the city, cleaning up the battlefield that had just ended.

Yan Jun is very strong! Very strong!

This is not Li Mu's feeling alone, but the consensus of all Zhao Jun.

In this skirmish in just ten days, the Zhao army lost several thousand soldiers.

Although the Yan army also had losses, it could be said to be insignificant compared to the Zhao army.

The Yan army has not yet attacked the city, and I heard that the Yan army's siege equipment is even more powerful, and it will go down when it encounters the city.

Li Mu is now also in a dilemma, retreat, it is no longer possible; in, I don't know what to do.

As for the reinforcements, go in a dream!

"What kind of idea do you have in the bottom of this music room? Is it to weaken the morale of our army before launching a large-scale attack? Li Mu's heart thought so.

Looking at the moon that had just emerged in the sky, Li Mu said lightly to Sima Shang:

"General Sima, you go to the city to rest first. For so many days, you have been stuck in the city, and you can't stay up like this all the time. Today, the general himself will be stationed in the city. ”

Alright, you "big mouth", hurry down!

Don't you see, every time you say a word, the faces of the soldiers around you become ugly?

Sima Shang didn't hear the meaning of Li Mu's words at all, and hurriedly said to Li Mu:

"General, the last general is younger than you, and he is not tired at all. You've been staring at the city for so many days, and your health is definitely not getting better, so you should go down to the city and rest for a while. ”

Li Mu was almost so angry that he turned his back on him, you fool, this is specifically against me, right?

What you're younger than me! General Ben is only a year older than you, okay?

What body is not as good as you, can a man say that the body is not good!

Forget it, forget it, for so many years, this fool has always been like this, and he won't care about it in general.

Li Mu comforted himself like this.

Turning around, Li Mu said to Sima Shang:

"In that case, you can continue to keep an eye here, and Ben will go down to the city to rest for a while."

"No." Sima Shang bowed and replied.

At this moment, in the camp of the Yan army, the sound of horns continued.

Rows of Yan soldiers came out of the Yan army camp with torches held high. Immediately afterwards, one by one, the Yan army's squares also began to come out from the Yan army's camp and slowly pressed towards Pingcheng.

"General, the Yan army is coming to attack the city." The deputy general, Sima Shang, shouted at the head of the city.

Li Mu suddenly turned around, walked back to the city, came to the battlements, and looked at the Yan army in front.

Yan Jun, this is preparing for a night battle.

At this time, the sky was not completely dark, and Li Mu saw that the Yan army's camp was dusty, and he couldn't see how many Yan troops had come to attack the city. The Yan army, which came to the city, stopped a stone's throw away from the city.

Behind the phalanx of the Yan army, dozens of catapults about ten meters high were slowly pushed out.

Li Mu and other Zhao soldiers in the city saw the legendary Yan army's catapult for the first time.

All the Zhao soldiers on the city wall, after looking at the Yan army's catapult, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Under the reflection of the torches, the military flags of the Yan army camp were overwhelming, as if with a murderous aura.

Zhao Jun in the city began to feel cold in his heart and panicked.

In the more than a month since the confrontation between the Yan army and the Zhao army, a large army has not really been dispatched at all, but a small army has been sent to constantly harass the Zhao army, so that Li Mu has no idea what Lejian is for, why?

"Is it constantly eroding the morale of our army and giving another heavy blow?" Li Mu could only guess like this.

It seems that the situation is as Li Mu guessed.

Now, the Yan army finally showed its fangs and was ready to strike a blow at the Zhao army in Pingcheng.

"General, it seems that the Yan army is preparing to attack my Pingcheng at night."

Deputy General Sima Shang came to Li Mu and said.

"That's true. Le Cheng uses soldiers, virtual and real, which makes people wonder through, and it really lives up to its name. ”

Looking at Sima Shang, who was still very calm in the face of Yan Jun, Li Mu still had a secret promise in his heart.

Except for the big mouth, this thing has never been ambiguous in war.

Li Mu looked at the approaching Yan army under the city, and after thinking for a while, he said to a herald beside him: "Pass my general's order, Lejian will attack the city at night, there must be a conspiracy, and order my army to prepare for a big battle, and not take the initiative to fight." ”

"No." The herald received the order and hurried to deliver it.

On the podium, Lejian smiled at the many generals beside him:

"Today, let's give Li Mu some color to see, so that he knows what a "dimensionality reduction" strike is. ”

Hearing what the main general said, the generals of the Yan army all laughed.

The term "dimensionality reduction strike" coined by Ji Kang is now widely known to the generals of the Yan army.

"General Qiyu, the catapult is in place, request to launch." A herald reported to Rakuma.

"The biography will order, and the catapult will be launched. Remember, after the catapult fires a round, it shouts. ”

Rakuma commanded loudly.

"No." The herald obeyed.

The military order to launch the catapult was immediately passed on to the command platform.

"Catapult, fire-shoot!" In the army formation of the Yan army, there was the shouting of the catapult general.

With a "woo", huge black shadows rushed from the front of the Yan army's military formation to the head of Pingcheng.

The loud sound of "boom, boom" was transmitted from the place where the boulder in front of it collided with the city wall.

On the walls of Pingcheng, the dust was already flying at this time, and many Zhao soldiers were in a pool of blood.

"Be hidden, be hidden." Sima Shang shouted loudly.

Li Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, motionless, looking at the Yan army under the city.

After firing a round of stones, Li Mu was surprised to find that the Yan army did not carry out continuous strikes.

Under the light of the torches, I saw dozens of Yan soldiers coming to the front of the battle, holding a long round thing in their hands, and shouted loudly at the Zhao army at the head of the city in unison.

"Brothers Zhao Jun in the city, the next round of catapults of our army will concentrate on attacking the southern wall of the city tower, brothers Zhao Jun on this section of the city wall, give you a moment of time, immediately avoid, immediately avoid."

After the Yan army shouted three times under the city, he retreated, and there was silence above and below the city.

Zhao Jun at the head of the city, he just didn't know what to do?

Sima Shang, who was beside Li Mu, not only widened his "bull's eyes" this time, but also opened his mouth widely.

"General, what does Yan Jun mean by this?" Sima Shang muttered.

Li Mu didn't know what to say, his brows furrowed, he gritted his teeth, and ordered:

"Don't care what the Yan army means, order the soldiers on the city wall at the southern end of me to go down to the city to take shelter."

All of a sudden, the Zhao army on the southern end of the city wall began to rush towards the city.

Seeing this, Lema, who was on the podium, laughed, and ordered:

"Okay, Zhao Jun has retreated. Our catapults continued to fire, knocking down the southern end of the city wall. ”

"Yes." A general replied loudly.

"The general has an order, all catapults, aimed at the southern wall, and start firing until they collapse."

In the Yan army's military formation, there was a shout.

After dozens of catapults and several rounds of blows by the Yan army, the city wall at the southern end of the city tower slowly collapsed, splashing the sky full of dust. However, the Zhao army defending the city did not have a single casualty this time.

"Heicheng can't hold it, and is ready to meet the enemy at the gap. If the Yan army cannot be stopped at the gap, the Yan army will be blocked in the city, and our army in the city will slowly withdraw to the western camp outside the city, and after dawn, we will engage the enemy again. ”

Li Mu ordered Sima Shang loudly.

"No." Sima Shang bowed down to receive the order, turned around and prepared to go down to deliver the order.

At this moment, something even stranger happened, Li Mu actually heard the sound of gold from the direction of Yan Jun.

I saw many Yan troops under the city, escorting catapults, and began to slowly withdraw to the Yan army camp.

"Will ...... General, Yan Jun...... Yan Jun, what does this mean? ”

Sima Shang, who was beside Li Mu, didn't leave either.

Turning around, he asked Li Mu for the second time.

Standing on top of the city tower, Li Mu was also completely "stunned".

Don't ask me, I don't know what I mean?

The city walls have fallen, and your Yan army will not attack, but will return to the camp, what's going on!

Not to mention that Li Mu and Sima Shang looked sluggish, all the soldiers of the Zhao army looked at each other and were at a loss.

And in the music room that returned to the Yan army camp, at this time, he laughed and said to Liao Shan beside him:

"Doctor Liao Shan, you can enter the city tomorrow and persuade Li Mu to return to the king."

Liao Shan was also full of smiles, and said to Lejian:

"What the general said is very true. He will enter the city tomorrow and meet General Li Mu, who makes the king always think about him. ”
