Chapter 822: Poor Kou Mo Chases (Second Update)

The next day, Li Mu led his 20,000 cavalry out of the camp and lined up, while he was opposite 60,000 allied troops from Korea and Yan.

It is very appropriate here to use the phrase that the enemy is outnumbered.

Of course, Li Mu knows this situation.

But he didn't seem to be nervous, and he was still thinking about another issue with Yi Qusheng.

"I heard that the population of the Mingo Joseon is only 300,000, and if you look at it from this point of view, I am afraid that these 50,000 people are all the warlike soldiers in the Mingo Joseon. It seems that this time, in order to rescue Yan State, Jizi North Korea really made a bloody investment. ”

Yi Qusheng nodded and said, "Actually, this is also something that can be imagined. To be honest, given the reputation of your Zhao Kingdom, I am afraid that no country in this world is willing to be a neighbor of your Zhao Kingdom. ”

"It's not you Zhao Guo." Li Mu corrected Yi Qusheng's statement very seriously: "It's our Zhao State. As for reputation or anything, it doesn't matter at all, anyway, soon there will be only one country on this land, Zhao State. ”

Yi Qusheng shrugged his shoulders: "Are you so sure that I will become a member of the Zhao country?" I'm a king after all. ”

Li Mu glanced at Yiqu Sheng with great disdain: "A king of a dead country? Don't forget that Wei Zeng is also the king of Wei, and Xianshan is also the king of the Xiongnu, and the countries of both of them are stronger than your Yiqu country, but now these kings are all courtiers of our king of Zhao. ”

Yiqu Sheng was stunned for a long time, and then couldn't help but sigh with a broken face: "So I'm the Yiqu King?" ”

"Nope." Li Mu shook his head and said: "Considering the fact that you are already a king of the dead country, if you can't make enough merits, then maybe you can't even be the king of Yiqu, you can only be a Yiqu Qing or a doctor of Yiqu." ”

Yiqu Sheng couldn't stand this grievance.

Looking at Yiqu Sheng, who was scolding and scolding towards the rear with two thousand armored cavalry, the corners of Li Mu's mouth finally showed a smile.

This is exactly what he wants.

In the past wars, Li Mu led the cavalry to charge into battle many times.

Li Mu knew very well that his hobby of leading thousands of troops and horses into battle was not good.

As the chief general of the army, once Li Mu has an accident, the outcome of the war is likely to change.

But the problem is that Li Mu has never been able to find a guy who can become an arrow figure to replace him, leading the armored cavalry to charge into battle.

Without a suitable arrowhead, the effectiveness of the armored cavalry charge will be greatly reduced.

Zhao Kuo is actually a good choice, but the problem is that Zhao Kuo, as the prince of Zhao State, obviously will not be under Li Mu's command for a long time.

In Li Mu's view, Yiqu Sheng is the best choice.

As a Yiqu person, Yiqu Sheng is a natural cavalry general.

Whether it is martial arts or archery, Yiqu Sheng is definitely first-class in the mainland, Li Mu still remembers the fact that when the Yiqu Kingdom was not established a few years ago, Yiqu Sheng beat all the knights under Li Mu's command when he visited the Zhao army camp.

Although in the past few years after the establishment of the Yiqu State, Yiqu Sheng has lived a life of enjoyment, and his skills have degraded a lot, but after this long-distance run of thousands of miles from Shuofang County to Liaodong and half a year of combat tempering, the Yiqu Sheng, who was omnipotent on horses, came back.

The current Yiqu Sheng is definitely a well-deserved number one fierce general under Li Mu, and he is also the best candidate to lead the armored cavalry to charge into battle.

The sun had risen high, and the allied forces of Korea and Yan that had come out of Xiangping City were also lined up.

The crown prince of North Korea, Ji Xing, was full of confidence, standing on top of a chariot in full armor, and looked back at the head of Xiangping City from time to time.

There, there is a woman who haunts the soul of Ji Xing and is watching and waiting for the outcome of this battle.

"I won't let you down." Ji Xing secretly made an oath in her heart.

By the time he turned his head, all the tenderness and sweetness had gone with the wind, replaced by a serious and cold face.

This is the posture of a leading general when fighting.

He may be young, but he is indeed one of the most outstanding generals in the past few decades.

Even though he is only twenty-five years old, judging from his record, Ji Xing really deserves this honor.

Otherwise, the Korean monarch Ji Yun would not be so relieved to put all the power of the entire Korean state into his hands.

"Beat the drums, wave the flag, march!" Ji Xing gave the order very calmly.

In Ji Xing's opinion, this battle is actually very simple, since the strength of his side is superior, then there is no need to do anything, as long as he rushes over in a dignified manner, and then defeats the Zhao people.

Ji Xing felt that he had a great advantage.

As for the world-famous cavalry of Zhao State, Ji Xing's Gaoyi and filthy hair that he has fought in the past two years are part of the nomads, so Ji Xing still has experience in fighting cavalry.

The key is in the tank!

Under Ji Xing's order, three hundred chariots set off as the Chinese army, and rushed directly towards the Chinese army of Zhao with the 20,000 infantry behind them.

First come to the center to bloom, then fly with both wings, and finally all take off!

Apricot Mi's plan is simple.

Being able to defeat the enemy simply, don't make things too complicated, this is the credo of Keiko.

The smoke and dust brought up by the three hundred chariots completely obscured Ji Xing's vision, making Ji Xing unable to see the battlefield situation clearly.

But there is no doubt that the two sides have begun to exchange hands, and the incessant sound of intensive archery and screams in the smoke and dust has spoken for itself.

The scouts kept reporting the situation on the battlefield to Kei Xing.

"Prince, the Middle Route Army is fighting fiercely with the main force of the enemy, and the enemy general is sending light cavalry!"

"The crown prince, you are fighting fiercely with the cavalry of the Zhao State, and the Zhao army seems to be unable to support it and has begun to retreat!"

"Prince, the Zhao army has indeed retreated on all fronts!"

When Ji Xing heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

For the world-famous armored cavalry of Zhao State, Ji Xing has of course heard of it, and has also studied it during this time.

In Ji Xing's view, no matter how fierce the armored cavalry is, it is just one person and one horse, and if it is hedged against the North Korean vehicle formation of three people, four horses and a heavy chariot, it is impossible for the armored cavalry to win.

Obviously, the people of Zhao also saw this, so they were forced to retreat after a short period of resistance.

It's just that on this battlefield, once you choose to retreat, is there still a way to fight back?

The corners of Ji Xing's mouth gradually rose, and he seemed to have seen the dawn of victory beckoning to him.

The next moment, Ji Xing gave an order very decisively: "The whole army is pursuing, and it is necessary to break the Yan army in one battle!" ”

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, this is the basic quality of a general, if Li Mu is really allowed to escape, then even if this battle is won, the results are very limited.

Ji Xing's heart was somewhat proud: "What Zhao Guo's undefeated famous general Li Mu, now it seems that it is nothing more than that!" ”

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but subconsciously glance at the head of the city.

"She must have seen my wise command, too? As long as I help her recover the land of Yan Kingdom, I am still afraid that she will not be embraced at that time? ”

Thinking of that mature and beautiful face, thinking of the worship and admiration that will inevitably appear on the face after his victorious return, Ji Xing not only burned in his heart, but even some parts of his body began to heat up.

I can't wait.

Zhao Guoren slipped away very quickly, at least in Ji Xing, it looked like this.

It has been a full half an hour of chasing out, but the waves of scouts and horses still have not brought news of complete victory, and every time the Zhao people are still on the run, and the North Koreans are still chasing.

The sun is already in the sky, and although the autumn sun is far less scorching than in summer, a layer of fine beads of sweat still appear on Ji Xing's forehead.

"That's it, it seems that the people of Zhao Guo escaped fast enough, so it's better to collect the troops first."

It was at this time that new news came.

"Prince, the front army was ambushed, all the chariots and soldiers were annihilated, and the Zhao people dispatched heavy armored cavalry to disperse the formation, and our army has been defeated and retreated on all fronts!"

"What?" Ji Xing was struck by lightning, and he couldn't believe what he had heard.

Obviously, the Zhao army has been defeated and retreated, why did it turn over all of a sudden?

Ji Xing didn't believe such a lie at all, so he personally cut off the head of this scout who lied about the military situation.

But soon, Ji Xing knew that what the scout said was actually true.

A quarter of an hour later, countless coalition soldiers appeared in Ji Xing's sight.

The coalition soldiers all over the mountains shouted in horror and fled back towards Ji Xing and Xiangping City, and behind these routs, countless cavalry of Zhao State were chasing them and slashing and slashing.

It was nothing short of a massacre!

The complacent Ji Xing forgot one thing, that is, the marching distance of the chariot soldiers is very limited, even more limited than the armored cavalry.

Although the chariot soldiers had four horses, there were also three heavily armored warriors standing on the chariot, and the chariot weighed hundreds of catties, so the weight of the chariot soldiers' horses was even much more than the weight of the horses of Zhao Guogu's armored cavalry.

Under such circumstances, when the chariot soldiers had pursued twenty or thirty miles, the horses pulling the carts had already shown signs of losing their strength and had to slow down.

In addition, the North Korean infantrymen who had followed the chariot for dozens of miles were also out of breath, and many of them had even begun to fall behind.

It was at this time that the ambush soldiers arranged by Li Mu in advance came out from the side, and two thousand armored cavalry, under the leadership of Yi Qusheng, swept away the Korean chariots and soldiers in an instant like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

At the same time, Li Mu, who was on the front, also led the cavalry troops of Zhao State to turn around and launch a counterattack.

For the cavalry of Zhao State, which can gallop hundreds of miles a day, the distance of twenty or thirty miles is completely just sprinkling water, not to mention that it is impossible for the cavalry of the coalition army or the infantry to catch up with the light cavalry of the Zhao State.

In such a situation, the coalition army, which was severely lacking in physical strength, became a lamb to the slaughter.

In just a quarter of an hour, the identities of the hunter and the prey were reversed.

The coalition soldiers who were chasing the cavalry of Zhao State just now turned around and began to run towards Xiangping City, only hating their father and mother for having two legs.

Ji Xing stared blankly at the scene of the big rout in front of her, and suddenly remembered four words in her mind.

Poor people don't chase.

Poor Kou Mo chase!
