The battle report from Jidu is an out-and-out torture for Lejian.

Li Mu actually didn't walk from the front, but went around his big rear, which was something that Le Jian never expected.

In fact, even if Lejian thought about it, there was probably nothing he could do about it.

The role of the Great Wall's defense line has always been to warn rather than defend, and it is completely unreliable to want to rely on a Great Wall to stop all the enemies in the north, which is well known to the leaders of any country among Qin and Zhaoyan.

The Great Wall, its effect when used in an offensive will be even better than that used for simple defense, because it is impossible to have enough troops everywhere in the defense line of thousands of kilometers from east to west, even if the entire population of the current Yan Kingdom is pulled to the Great Wall.

Judging from past examples, the most effective method that Lema can think of should be cavalry against cavalry.

In fact, in the past few years, Lejian has consciously asked many Hu tribes who have submitted to Yan to supply war horses, and even tried to summon some Hu cavalry to enlist in the army to improve the combat effectiveness of the Yan cavalry.

But it is a pity that these measures of the music room ultimately failed.

It is never easy to train a cavalry, not to get a horse and then get a person to say that this guy is a cavalry, he needs to go through a very systematic training, and then through some small-scale battles to train the troops, and then let this cavalry slowly take shape.

In addition, cavalry is also a very expensive type of troops, the war horse itself needs money, and the supporting equipment needs money, and it is a large amount of money over the years.

Lejian doesn't have so much time, and Yan Guo doesn't have so much money.

It must be said that a few decades ago, Qin Kai, the general of the Yan State, defeated the Donghu people who came to provoke by mixing chariots and steps, and made the Donghu people flee thousands of miles, so the ministers of the Yan State agreed that the chariot soldiers could defeat the cavalry, and the problem was only that the method was wrong.

Under such circumstances, Lejian's voice for the development of cavalry was met with great resistance, and even the Yan military had many dissatisfied voices.

This makes it very difficult to implement the method of training cavalry in Lejian, and now there are only 10,000 cavalry in the whole country of Yan, and half of them still need to be stationed in Liaodong, and only 5,000 cavalry can be in Lejian's hands.

Five thousand cavalry wanted to defeat Li Mu in person, which was tantamount to a fool's dream.

And in addition, a few days ago, the main force of the Zhao State Border Cavalry Legion had also arrived outside Linle City, firmly blocking the entire Linle City.

If Lejian chooses to break through at this moment, then Zhao's border cavalry army will definitely be happy to chase and kill the Yan army along the road, so that the Yan army will leave countless corpses behind.

Le Jian knows very well that as long as he retreats, then the 200,000 Yan soldiers in Linle City will be finished!

Therefore, Lejian immediately replied to Empress Yan with a pigeon letter to Empress Yan from Jidu, and informed Empress Yan of all the current situation in 1510, indicating that he would not withdraw from the army and could not withdraw from the army.

Of course, Le Jian didn't forget to comfort Empress Yan, after all, the tall city wall of Jidu was there, as long as it was guarded well, Li Mu would definitely not let Li Mu take the city.

In Rakuma's opinion, the cavalry may be able to play the infantry in applause on the plains, but the cavalry siege is a joke, a big joke.

In fact, Le Jian never thought of turning the tide and defeating Zhao Jun, after all, he knew very well that he was not his father Le Yi, if it was Le Yi, he might really be able to get rid of Zhao Guoren, but Le Jian was taken care of by his father too well since he was a child, and his father died too early, and he did not completely let Le Jian learn the skills of General Le Yi.

Sometimes Le Jian's heart is also very emotional, if he has his father's ability to lead the army, even if it is fifty percent, the current Yan Kingdom may not fall to this point, right?

But this is not the time to feel sorry for yourself, because the music must be supported until the turnaround comes.

Le Jian didn't believe that the other five countries would stand by and watch him, he already knew the news that the Qi State was secretly transporting supplies to the Yan State by ship, and he felt that as long as he could support it for a while, when everyone felt that the people of the Zhao State were completely helpless against the Yan State, then the other countries would definitely not stand idly by.

This may be a very large number of casualties, or it may take a very long time, just like Lejian's father Le Yi once besieged Jimo for several years, but Lejian believes that he will definitely win the final turnaround for Yan Guo.

On the other side, the tall thistles had also appeared in Li Mu's sight.

To be honest, this is the first time Li Mu has seen the city.

I have to say that this is indeed a majestic city, a huge city wall made of blue-black boulders, after hundreds of years, although it seems to be a little worn, but the heaviness of the precipitation makes everyone shocked.

At the first moment he saw this city wall, Li Mu told Yiqu Sheng beside him such a fact.

"We can't take this city."

Yiqu Sheng rolled his eyes angrily: "Of course, the walls of this city are at least three times as high as my Yiqu City!" Moreover, cavalry was not meant to be used to siege cities. ”

"Of course cavalry can be used to siege cities." Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and tried his best to make his tone appear relaxed when he spoke: "As long as I can capture this city, it doesn't matter if all the cavalry under my command are buried under the city wall, but it's a pity that even if I really do that, I won't be able to capture this city." ”

Unconsciously, the way Li Mu spoke also began to be influenced by Yiqusheng.

Yiqu Sheng snorted and said, "So shouldn't we start looting the surrounding villages now?" Give me a thousand people, and I will definitely make it impossible for all the villages of Yan Kingdom within a hundred miles to live! ”

Li Mu shook his head, and a strange light suddenly appeared on his face: "There's no need for that, I will send a team to carry out the raid, as long as there is enough food." ”

Yi Qusheng looked at Li Mu with some curiosity and said, "Don't you want to drive all the people of Yan Kingdom into the Thistle Capital?" ”

Li Mu said: "Of course I want to do this, but the owner of this city will not open the door to let those people of Yan Kingdom enter the city." ”

"Why?" Yiqu Sheng was obviously a little puzzled.

Li Mu stretched out his hand and pointed to the banner of the Yan Kingdom that was still flying high above the city gate, and said, "Because this is the Yan Kingdom, not the Qin Kingdom." Qin's laws are strict, and with the big sword of the law hanging high above their heads, the officials of Qin will do their best to protect the lives of the people of Qin. But what about Yan Guo? This is just a country that belongs to the aristocracy, the most conservative and backward country among the seven warring states, for these nobles of the Yan Kingdom, the lives of commoners are completely no different from ants, how can they pay attention to these commoners? ”

Yiqu Sheng nodded thoughtfully and said, "So what now?" Since those nobles of the Yan Kingdom are unwilling to save their people, it is better for us to directly kill all the people of the nearby Yan Kingdom, which may scare them. ”

"In this case, then the Zhao State will not be able to rule this region for the next thirty years." Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng with great disdain, and then said, "What we have to do now is very simple, that is, to surround this damn city!" ”

So Li Mu gave an order, and he and the 10,000 cavalry under his command rushed towards the thistles in the distance.

The sight of 10,000 cavalry covering the plain with countless smoke and dust was very spectacular and terrifying, and in the case that Li Mu deliberately asked to lengthen the formation, all the Yan defenders standing on the city wall of Jidu were a little weak, because they suddenly felt that the cavalry of Zhao State that was attacking this time seemed to be completely boundless.

Especially after Li Mu ordered the four thousand cavalry to divide into four teams and shuttle back and forth under the walls of Jidu, all the people of Jidu knew such a fact, that is, the cavalry of the Zhao people galloped under the city for an hour, and they had not yet fully arrived!

Regarding Li Mu's approach, Yiqusheng undoubtedly scoffed: "What are you doing here?" It's useless at all except to consume horsepower for nothing, and you don't think you can scare the people in the city, and they will obediently run out and surrender to you, right? ”

Regarding Yiqusheng's question, Li Mu nodded very seriously: "Yes, that's what I think." If my expectations are correct, I am afraid that in the past two days, there will be Yan people secretly coming to contact me. ”

Yi Qu Sheng's eyes widened, if it weren't for the fact that he had witnessed almost all of Li Mu's past achievements, a whimsical sentence would have blurted out from Yi Qu Sheng's mouth a long time ago.

However, Yiqu Sheng was shocked that it didn't even take two days, because that night, Yi Qu Sheng received the messenger from the city with Li Mu as a lieutenant general.

It is worth mentioning that there are several such messengers......

"What's going on? Could it be that the people of Yan are really so timid? How did such a timid Yan Guoren defeat Donghu? Yi Qusheng felt that he couldn't understand it at all, and his mind was full of question marks.

Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng, smiled meaningfully, and said: "Actually, the answer to the question is very simple, these Yan people are not frightened by the ten thousand cavalry in our hands, what really scares them is actually the powerful Zhao State behind us." ”

"Zhao Guo?"

"Yes, Zhao Guo." Li Mu nodded and said, "I believe that everyone in the Ji Capital understands that Yan Guo is not the opponent of Zhao Guo at all, in such a situation, how much fighting spirit do you think the Yan people in the city will have?" Perhaps most of us will fight us to the end, but ...... There will always be a small number of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and nobles are often the most greedy and afraid of death. ”

Yi Qusheng suddenly understood: "So you specially put on that appearance during the day today, in fact, you want to make the people of Yan Kingdom feel that an army of Zhao has arrived?" ”

"That's right." Li Mu said with a smile: "As long as those Yan nobles in the city who are greedy for life and afraid of death feel that I have a force in my hands that is enough to break through the Ji Capital, then they will definitely take the initiative to contact us." Because they don't know anything about themselves, as soon as they find out about our arrival, they will definitely be afraid and afraid of us, and they will definitely be eager to throw themselves into our arms. ”

Saying that, Li Mu shook the paperwork in his hand and said with a smile: "This is the so-called 'attacking the city for the bottom, attacking the heart for the top'." Let's rest for a few days, and if all goes well, this city will soon be in our possession. ”
