In the early morning of the next day, the gate of Fenmen City was opened, and a column of soldiers of the Yan Army withdrew from Fenmen City amid the earth-shattering cries of the people in the city, drove out from the east gate of Fenmen City, and then rushed north.

The news of the retreat of the Yan army reached the camp of Zhao State almost immediately.

Li Mu immediately became excited, and said to Pang Xuan: "General, I am willing to lead the armored cavalry to fight as the vanguard!" ”

Regarding Li Mu's invitation to fight, Pang Xuan just smiled and shook his head, and said: "No, this time Lejian will definitely leave about 10,000 or so rear troops, let's wait for his main force to go away, and then eat this 10,000 rear army." ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said hurriedly: "Does the general think that I will be blocked by this 10,000 rear army?" With only one charge, I can defeat this rear army, without the hindrance of the rear army, the general only needs to lead his troops to continue the pursuit, then the main force of Yan will be defeated! ”

Pang Xuan smiled slightly, nodded and agreed with Li Mu's words: "Li Mu, what you said is indeed quite reasonable, but have you ever thought about how many casualties we will pay in this way?" ”

Li Mu said without hesitation: "At most, two to thirty thousand casualties can defeat these 200,000 Yan troops in one battle!" ”

20,000 or 30,000 for 200,000, no matter how you look at it, this is a very profitable way.

Pang Xuan continued to laugh and said: "That's true, but I think that the casualties of 20,000 or 30,000 are inevitably too much. ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly spoke: "Isn't the general trying to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, let the people of the Yan Kingdom fight against the Qi people, and our army will sit behind the back to reap the benefits of the fisherman?" ”

Pang Xuan smiled and said: "Li Mu, Li Mu, you really deserve to be Li Mu, I have this intention." ”

Li Mu thought for a while, and didn't seem to agree with Pang Xuan's meaning, and said: If the general's plan can be successful, it will indeed be able to make our army win without blood, but in this case, the time will inevitably be greatly delayed. As far as I know, now that the Huns have invaded Henan, the battle situation in Shuofang County is critical, so it is better to win the victory and advance westward earlier. ”

After Li Mu said this, he suddenly found that Pang Xuan's eyes looked at him very strangely, so he couldn't help but say to Pang Xuan with some wondering: "General, am I wrong?" ”

Pang Xuan seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then laughed: "Li Mu, Li Mu, you actually didn't think wrong, but as my lieutenant general, you said this, it was wrong." ”

"You must know that since we have been ordered by the king to come to fight against the Yan people, then the most important thing is, of course, to conscientiously complete the king's instructions and achieve victory over the Yan people."

"The king asked me to complete the entire combat mission as much as possible on the premise of preserving the elite, so I will find a way to complete the king's request. As for the time, even after defeating the Yan army, I am afraid that there are still Wuyang and Ji waiting for us to conquer, those two cities are the largest cities in the Yan Kingdom, and they are not easy to break. ”

"And General Lian Po in Henan has already led his troops away, according to the distance, he should also enter Hetao County at this moment, even if the war here ends today and you lead the troops to Henan, when you arrive, I am afraid that the war over there will already be over."

"Therefore, although I know that you have been stationed in the two counties of Hetao and Shuofang for many years, I am quite concerned about the war situation in these two counties. But the battle over there actually has nothing to do with you, and your most important task at this moment is to defeat Yan Guo first, understand? ”

Li Mu was stunned by Pang Xuan's words, and it took a long while before he let out a long sigh and lowered his head at Pang Xuan: "What the general said is very true, Li Mu has been taught. ”

"Alright." Pang Xuan smiled and patted Li Mu's shoulder, and said, "I know that you must have fire in your heart, since this is the case, then you will lead your armored cavalry into battle and defeat the rear army behind the Yan Army." ”

A moment later, the rumbling horn began to sound in the camp of the Zhao army, and the 150,000 soldiers of the Zhao army quickly rushed out of the camp and completed the assembly, forcing the Yan army that was still leaving the city.

As soon as the horn of the Zhao army sounded, all the soldiers of the Yan army invariably quickened their pace, rushed out of the city gate as fast as possible, and headed towards the north.

At the same time, there was also a group of Yan soldiers with about 10,000 people, who did not go north with the main army after leaving the city, but turned to the south and began to lay out a defensive line on the road that the Zhao army must pass.

Pang Xuan looked at this Yan army and couldn't help but shake his head gently, with a look of emotion on his old face.

"The mantis arm is a car, and the mantis arm is a car! Come on, gather eight crossbows and trebuchets for me! ”

Half an hour later, the battle began.

Countless boulders roared up from the position of the Zhao army, and then fell heavily on the position of the Yan army after the break.

Hundreds of eight-bull crossbows were fired one after another, and the powerful arrows as thick as the thickness of an arm instantly penetrated the defensive positions at the forefront of the Yan army, causing the shield holders of the Yan army standing in the front row to fall down one after another as if they were cutting wheat.

Li Mu, who had long been unable to hold back, finally waited for the sound of the drumbeat of the attack, so he put the heavy helmet on his head, covering his face, revealing only two eyes full of murderous aura, and raised the spear in his hand high, and then fell heavily.

"Attack!"

A moment later, two thousand armored cavalry rushed out from the flank of the Zhao army like a torrent of steel, rushing straight towards the flank of the broken army of the Yan army.

And on the front, thousands of the main forces of the Zhao army were also black and pressed like a tide towards the front of the Yan army's broken troops.

A brutal slaughter ensued.

Although they were completely inferior in terms of combat effectiveness and numbers, under the infection of the deputy general of the Yan Army who took the lead and fought to the death, these 10,000 Yan Army soldiers delayed the Zhao army for nearly an hour.

It wasn't until Li Mu, who charged the battle for the third time, shot off the head of the heroic lieutenant general, that this broken force finally broke up completely.

At this moment, the main general of the Yan army, Le Cheng, who was already more than ten miles away, hid his face in pain and sighed in pain after hearing the return of the scouts, and only after a while did he say, "Prepare another broken army." ”

A bloody human head was carried by Li Mu, who was covered in blood, and thrown in front of Pang Xuan.

Pang Xuan was not surprised, but picked up the head and looked at it carefully: "This is the main general who commanded this Yan army's broken troops?" ”

Li Mu took off his helmet, let out a strong breath, and then said, "Exactly." ”

Pang Xuan smiled: "Very good, this time you have made a contribution." By the way, the Yan army is still several miles away from Beiyishui, and they will at least send a support army to delay our army's pursuit, are you interested in continuing to fight? ”

Li Muleng paused for a moment, and then put the helmet back again with an expressionless face.

From under the helmet came the sound of an urn: "I'll set off!" ”

Pang Xuan laughed and said, "Cherish this time when you can charge into battle, Li Mu." If what I expected, I am afraid that you will not have such a chance in the future. ”
