Chapter 628: Li Mu (Second Update)

Things were almost exactly as Pang Xuan expected.

In order to be able to cross the North Yishui, Rakuma had to send a force of 10,000 people to break off the rear again.

Maybe it's because the main general of the broken army this time is not as brave as the last time, or maybe it's because the strength of the broken force is not strong enough this time, or maybe it's because the Zhao army has completely played out its morale and blood, all in all, after a very short assault battle, the second line of defense of the Yan army completely collapsed.

Because the battle ended much faster than Le Cheng thought, when the vanguard of the Zhao army pursued to the south bank of Beiyishui, although most of the main force of the Yan army had crossed the Beiyishui, there were still 30,000 Yan troops who had not crossed the river.

Looking at the army of Zhao Guo swarming like a tide of black pressure on the south bank of the river, Le Cheng's face was extremely ugly, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Pass the order, burn all the boats, and the whole army will continue to go north!" ”

When the remaining 30,000 Yan soldiers noticed that smoke was beginning to rise from the ships on the north shore, they understood what was happening without anyone's explanation.

Himself was abandoned.

After turning around and looking at the main force of the Zhao army that had surrounded him behind him, several Yan army generals who commanded these 30,000 troops made the same decision with great tacit understanding without even meeting.

Surrender!

This result made Li Mu, who had already killed two battles and was preparing to usher in the third battle, very unhappy.

Li Mu rode on the horse, looked at the Yan army generals in front of him with a very arrogant expression, and even sneered at these guys in front of him a few times, and sneered a few words by the way, hoping that they could muster up the courage to fight with him.

However, the result of Li Mu's doing this was to make these Yan army generals even more trembling, and one by one they were like ostriches, wishing to completely retract their heads into their necks.

Li Mu was very disappointed, but Pang Xuan was very happy.

Annihilating 50,000 Yan troops and capturing nearly 40,000 of them at a small cost was an out-and-out victory no matter how you look at it.

This is exactly what Pang Xuan hopes to achieve the victory he can achieve the most.

After ending the day's fighting, Pang Xuan did not immediately go north, but chose to repair for three days first.

The reason why it was three days slower was partly because Pang Xuan hoped to leave enough time for the Yan army to take the risk and choose to fight the Qi army first, and partly because the Yan army burned almost all the ships when retreating, and the Zhao army needed time to rebuild ships to cross the river.

The retreat of the Yan army was undoubtedly an obvious abandonment and betrayal for the people in Fenmen City, which made the people in Fenmen City hate Lejian almost instantly, and their favorability towards Yan Kingdom also dropped to an unprecedented low.

As a result, the Zhao army completely took over the city almost without any obstacles, as if it were taking over a city full of Zhao people.

Three days later, the main force of the Zhao army, under the leadership of Pang Xuan, crossed the Beiyi River and officially entered the land of Dukang.

On the day when the Zhao army crossed the river, the Yan army and the Qi army also started a big battle outside Linle City.

Perhaps because he was forced to be anxious by Pang Xuan, this time Lejian was also ruthless, and personally pressed the formation and led the Yan army to launch a crazy attack on the position of the Qi army.

After a day of fierce fighting, the positions of the Qi army were broken through by the Yan army one after another, and Kuang Liang had to lead his troops to retreat thirty miles and regroup to resist the Yan army.

And the morale-boosting Yan army also poured out, preparing to completely defeat the Qi army with a battle.

The sound of heavy horses' hooves spread in the air, and a long and almost endless torrent of cavalry rushed north from the road, which was the main force of the 30,000 Zhao cavalry led by Li Mu.

After learning about the battle situation, Pang Xuan found that he seemed to overestimate the strength of the Qi army, so he made amends, that is, let Li Mu lead 30,000 cavalry to the north to aid Kuangliang, and Pang Xuan led the main force of the Zhao army to follow.

With the mobility of the cavalry, Li Mu only needed a day's time to reach the battlefield.

After a full half of a day's hurried, seeing that he was already approaching the battlefield, Li Mu began to order to slow down.

The sun in the sky was already setting in the west, and at most an hour was before it set, and normally the war was either coming to an end or already over.

A scout flew in and shouted to Li Muyu: "General, the two armies of Qi and Yan are still in a fierce battle, and the Qi army seems to have been defeated and is beginning to show signs of collapse!" ”

"What?" Li Mu was slightly shocked in his heart, knowing that he was already sleepy after a day's long journey, and he didn't have much combat power.

If the Yan army really won the victory, then Li Mu would not continue to advance, but instead retreated to prevent the attack of the Yan army, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Zhao army.

Led by the scout, Li Mu quickly rode up to the top of a hill.

The biggest advantage of the plain area is undoubtedly that the line of sight is very vast, so even if there are still several miles apart, Li Mu can still see the battle situation of this war very clearly.

The scout was not wrong at all, the current Yan army unexpectedly had the upper hand, and the Qi army was in a posture of defeat and retreat in all directions.

Li Mu made a judgment with his sharp vision - in two quarters of an hour at most, the Qi army would be defeated.

Of course, the premise is that Li Mu does not appear.

When Li Mu found the Qi Army Marshal Banner still flying high in the smoke and dust among the thousands of troops, and realized that the location of the Qi Army Marshal Flag was the most fierce battle in the entire battlefield, Li Mu finally made up his mind.

"Pass the order, the whole army will line up, and immediately launch a surprise attack!"

At this time, Lecheng's mood is actually very good.

As long as the Qi army can be defeated, then the situation of the entire battlefield will be completely different.

At that time, the Yan State will not only be able to have the confidence to hold on and wait for help, but the attitudes of the Qin State and the Chu State will also change because of this.

Due to the fact that Qi and Zhao are both enemy countries, the current Lejian does not know that the state of Chu has actually fallen into the war between Han and Wei.

All in all, there's no one who doesn't love to win, and Rakuma is certainly no exception.

The dawn of victory is just around the corner, but villains always appear at this time.

Li Mu is here.

30,000 cavalry of the Zhao State joined the battlefield from the flank, like a torrent that instantly swept the right flank of the Yan army.

The unsuspecting Yan army was the first to break up under the assault of the Zhao cavalry.

The confusion on the right flank quickly spread to the Chinese army, and when Lejian struggled to gather his troops, Kuang Liang, the commander of the Qi army, was overjoyed to find that reinforcements had come, and immediately ordered people to beat the drums of an all-out counteroffensive.

With the cooperation of 30,000 cavalry of the Zhao army, the Qi army, which was already crumbling, not only stabilized its position, but also launched an extremely powerful super counteroffensive.

The morale of the Yan army, which was not able to make a big move, also fell into a trough at this time, and began to become more chaotic.

When the sun was about to set, the Yan army broke up under the backdrop of the sunset after a fierce battle for nearly an hour.

The commander of the Yan army, Le Jian, was forced to lead the remnants of his defeated army and flee back to Linle City.

When the Qi and Zhao coalition forces drove to Linle City at noon the next day, they found that this had also become an unguarded city.

Le Jian had gathered all the remnants of the defeated army overnight and retreated to Jidu further north.
