Chapter 550: Li Mu is very calm (second update)

Wang Jian was on the march, and Yiqu Sheng was also on the march.

For Yi Qusheng, the military life that had just begun made him reacquaint himself with Li Mu again.

Before the war, Li Mu seemed to be a very kind and good-tempered general.

He can mingle with any soldier, and he can also befriend a foreigner like Yoshikokatsu.

Of course, if he saw the Huns, Li Mu would instantly turn into a bloodthirsty wolf.

Yiqu Sheng has seen Li Mu's evil wolf with his own eyes.

But to be honest, Li Mu's attitude towards the Huns who are eager to kill them all, Yiqu Sheng thinks he can understand very much - after all, Yi Qu Sheng has also thought countless times in his dreams that he wants to kill all the Qin people.

In general, as long as it is not a Huns, then Li Mu's attitude is very good.

But it's such a person who seems to be a good gentleman, once he enters the role of a general, a big change comes in an instant.

An invisible majesty began to envelop Li Mu's side after he set out on the expedition, so that all the guys who had hooked up with Li Mu couldn't help but straighten their chests and shoulders when facing Li Mu at this moment, and reported in a loud and respectful tone.

Even Yi Qusheng himself is like this.

What's going on, could it be that King Ben Yiqu has been unknowingly affected by this general of Zhao State?

Yiqu Sheng was a little irritable.

But what made Yiqu Sheng even more irritable was that Li Mu did not take his suggestion and took down Yiqu City as soon as possible.

"I have an alliance with your king, I will help you attack the Qin State, and you will help me restore the country!" Yi Qusheng said indignantly to Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded, and while swaying and riding his horse forward, he said in a very casual tone: "Don't worry, since the king has promised to you, then after this big battle, the Yiqu Kingdom will naturally be established." ”

Yiqu Sheng sneered, judging from the expression on his face, he obviously didn't believe Li Mu's words at all: "If that's the case, then why don't you attack Yiqu City?" ”

Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "You want a cavalry to attack a fortified city?" ”

"Fortified City? There are not many people in that city except for the three thousand Qin troops who defend the city, because all the people in the city have been taken by me to Shuofang County of your Zhao Kingdom! And with your troops, you will be able to capture Yiqu City in three days at most! ”

Regarding Yiqu Sheng's words, Li Mu nodded in agreement: "That's right, it only takes two days at most for Yiqu City to be captured." ”

Yiqu Sheng felt insulted: "Then why don't you attack Yiqu City??" ”

Li Mu said: "Because that will cost me at least 2,000 men." ”

"Two thousand?" Yiqu Sheng's eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked at Li Mu in front of him with the eyes of a monster: "It's because you spared the lives of these two thousand soldiers, so you gave up attacking Yiqu City?" How can someone like you become a general of Zhao State? ”

In any era there will be generals who love their soldiers like children, but that is when there is no war.

When the brutal battle begins, the generals who loved their soldiers like sons don't mind dying hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of children, as long as they can win.

Underneath the fame of every famous general is the bones of countless people who died in the war, both those of the enemy and the children.

With the lives of 2,000 people, he was able to conquer a city like Yiqu City, and Li Mu was still not satisfied?

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, you must know that the lives of my two thousand cavalry are indeed much more important than your Yiqu City." ”

Yi Qusheng snorted and angrily turned his horse away.

Looking at Yiqusheng's departing figure, Li Mu shook his head slightly.

Li Mu knew where the differences between Yiqusheng and himself were.

The "two thousand dead and wounded" in Yiqusheng's heart actually refers to the mainstream of warfare in this era - infantry.

And the two thousand injuries that Li Mu refers to are cavalry.

Can an infantryman be worth the same as a cavalryman?

Of course it's different.

In Li Mu's heart, a well-trained cavalryman can be worth five brave and skilled infantrymen, or even more.

Therefore, others thought that Li Mu only had 20,000 cavalry under his command, but in Li Mu's opinion, he actually had 100,000 troops under his command!

If used in the right place, these 20,000 cavalry can exert the equivalent of an army of 100,000.

But if it is used in the wrong place, then the role that 20,000 cavalry can play may not even be as good as 20,000 infantry.

In Li Mu's opinion, using cavalry to attack the city is definitely the most stupid and wrong way.

If he had to pay the price of two thousand cavalry for such a stupid and wrong way, Li Mu felt that he could only make such a decision if his head was trampled by the horse's hooves.

Looking at Yiqu City gradually moving away behind him, Yiqu Sheng's mood gradually became depressed.

This depression slowly turned into incomparable anger, so that he finally couldn't help but come to Li Mu again.

"I don't care, I'm going to take my people with me!"

Yiqusheng's subordinates also have people.

Among the 24,000 cavalry, 20,000 were the cavalry of Zhao led by Li Mu, and 4,000 were the Yiqu cavalry of Yiqu Sheng.

Li Mu looked at Yi Qusheng with a playful gaze: "You really want to leave?" ”

"Let's go, let's go now!" Yi Qusheng was furious.

Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng strangely, as if he remembered something, and suddenly laughed, "Go back and attack Yiqu City?" ”

Yiqu Sheng said angrily: "That's right, it's to go back and attack that Yiqu City!" ”

The smile in Li Mu's eyes became even more playful: "Just rely on these four thousand people under you?" ”

Yiqu Sheng said angrily: "Why, I am not a greedy person like you who is afraid of death, as long as I capture Yiqu City, then even if I pay two thousand lives, I have nothing to fear!" ”

Li Mu couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Stupid, it's extremely stupid." ”

Yiqu Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Li Mu, although you are the main general, I am not your subordinate, you should be respectful when you speak!" ”

Li Mu smiled: "Respect? Only the wise will be respected by me. Think for yourself, I have 20,000 men, and I need to pay 2,000 dead and wounded to conquer Yiqu City. You only have 4,000 men in your hands, but you think that with 2,000 dead and wounded, you can conquer Yiqu City, which is defended by 3,000 men? Isn't that stupid? ”

Yiqusheng was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he sighed and was silent.

Li Mu was not wrong at all, but with the 4,000 cavalry under Yiqu Sheng's hand, he might not be able to break through Yiqu City, which was garrisoned by 3,000 Qin troops.

Looking at the speechless Yiqu Sheng, Li Mu's mood seemed to become better and better: "What, have you figured it out?" ”

Yi Qusheng didn't speak, but just glared at Li Mu viciously.

Li Mu laughed and said: "So, you still take your Yiqu cavalry and follow me honestly." Believe me, as long as this war is over, your small Yiqu country will be able to be re-established, and Yiqu City will be back in your hands. ”

When Yiqu Sheng heard this, he immediately came to his senses: "Really!? ”

Li Mu glanced at Yi Qu Sheng with his eyes, snorted heavily to express his dissatisfaction with Yi Qu Sheng's doubts, and directly turned his horse and walked in front of Yi Qu Sheng.

Yi Qusheng was immediately furious, but after a few breaths, the expression on his face suddenly made a 180-degree turn, and he kept up with Li Mu's footsteps with a grin.
