Of course, Li Mu's strategy was not only to use thousands of fine bows and arrows to exhaust the Qin army, he had already chosen the venue for the decisive battle.

The Qin State raised troops and sent two roads to attack the Zhao State, all the way through Taiyuan, through Jingcheng, to the north to the south to attack Handan, all the way through Hanoi through Yecheng from the south to the north to attack Handan, and then into the north and south to encircle.

At this time, Zhao State was once again facing a severe situation, Li Mu was ordered to be in danger, after fully understanding the specific deployment of Qin State's operations against Zhao, he believed that the northern border of Zhao State was empty, and Zhao State had a line of the Zhangshui Great Wall in the south, and based on the experience of the last time, he expected that the Qin army would be difficult to break through for a while, and he thought that it was appropriate to take the policy of first breaking through the north and then the south to defeat the Qin army. So Li Mu sent Sima Shang to lead an army to Zhangshui and the Great Wall, so that their fortified walls would not be fought, and Li Mu led a large army to the north. By the time Li Mu dispatched his troops, the Qin army had already broken through the northwest defense line of Zhao, captured Wolf Meng (now Quyang, Shanxi), and killed eastward through Jingcheng, captured Jingcheng Pass, and then captured Fanwu (now Pingshan, Hebei), whose edge was almost unstoppable.

On the way north, Li Mu frequently heard the news of the fall of the city of Zhao and decided to speed up the march. Not long after the Qin army captured Fanwu, Li Mu's army had already arrived near Fanwu. After the Qin army learned of the arrival of the Zhao army, they quickly went to challenge, trying to eliminate the Zhao army when it was not firmly established, although the Zhao army was very tired due to the day and night march, but Li Mu resolutely resisted the southward movement of the Qin army, because the Zhao army had no way to retreat, and Handan was behind. Li Mu used a short time to set up a position and ordered the soldiers of the whole army to fight to the death with the Qin army. The Qin army went out of the city to attack the Zhao army, and Li Mu used his outstanding military skills to command the Zhao army to counterattack, and finally defeated the Qin army.

Although the Qin army captured Fanwu, the Qin army was still short of water, and the soldiers were hungry and thirsty.

Outside the city of Fanwu, the Zhao army camped.

Li Mu listened carefully to the scout's report, and said with a slight smile: "The Qin army is tired, and our army has been recuperating for a long time, so we will definitely be able to defeat Qiang Qin in this battle." ”

The deputy general Zhao Cong was overjoyed, and hurriedly echoed: "The handsome and wise, this time the Qin army will suffer again." ”

"The most poisonous thing about marching and fighting is to starve off food and water, and the most ruthless thing is to attack fire and flood!" Li Mu, the general of Zhao Guo, thought for a while, "Our army is twice as large as the enemy, and it is just right to cut off its water source and surround it on three sides. According to the character of the Qin general Yang Duanhe, he will definitely go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with our army. It's a pity, my eldest Zhao Nan'er wants to stain the battlefield with blood again and fight to the death with the Qin army. ”

"Dashuai doesn't have to be sad, when our Zhao State recuperates for a few years, we will definitely be able to repay the blood debt of the Qin State." The deputy general Zhao Cong did not forget to comfort Li Mu, but everyone with a discerning eye knew that unless Zhao State could produce a few eloquent kings, relying on the current situation, there would be no use in reviving Zhao State.

In the city of Fanwu, the city guards the house.

The generals of the Qin army gathered together. Although the Qin army had just captured Jingcheng Pass and Fanwu City, everyone was not in a good mood. Because not only was there no grain or grass in the city, but even the wells were dry. And in order to take Jingcheng Pass and Fanwu City, the Qin army killed and wounded thousands of people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the hinterland of Zhao State, and communication with the rear is inconvenient. I don't know if the old general Wang Jian has dragged Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, if Li Mu takes the risk to go back to the north of Zhao State, we will have no chance to go south at all. Qin General Yang Duanhe said with some concern.

At this time, the Qin army scout captain came to report: Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, led an army of 200,000 from the south and had surrounded three sides of Fanwu City.

"Zhao Guotieqi really acted quickly, and he completed the counter-encirclement quietly." The Qin general Yang Duanhe had long expected that the Zhao State would send reinforcements to rescue Fanwu. I didn't want it to be Li Mu who personally led an army of 200,000 to come.

"General, our army is brave and good at fighting, and the morale is quite high, so we should go out of the city immediately for a decisive battle. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of it all! Adjutant General Wang Ben suggested.

"I must have a tough battle with Li Mu, otherwise I will retreat, how to explain to the king! In addition, Zhao Jun twice as much as me, and must beat the other party so that he does not dare to harass our army to retreat. Qin General Yang Duanhe said with a wry smile.

Unfortunately, the Qin army scout captain came again to report that the Zhao army had cut off the only moat outside the city that was connected to Zhangshui. In other words, Fango is completely cut off from water.

As soon as the sky was bright, 100,000 Qin troops went out of the city to line up.

Li Mu saw the formation of the Qin army: the black armor covers the sun, the black flag is monstrous, and it is very strict! Knowing that he had to disrupt his formation in order to win, he called the general Yan Ju and said: "Yan Ju! You lead 5,000 cavalry to assault the Qin army! ”

"Whoa!" Yan Ju, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, bowed down to receive the order.

"Zhao Cong, each of you will lead three thousand crossbowmen to respond. Cover Yan Gathering! ”

"Whoa!" Behind Li Mu, two futures flashed out.

"Knock knock......" A loud war drum sounded.

Yan Ju raised his halberd and said loudly: "Brothers of the Zhao army, the Qin and Zhao armies are not separated, and the blood debt of the past is let us recover it today!" Kill! ”

With a roar, Yan Ju immediately rode out first and pounced on the Qin army's battle formation. Then the five thousand elite horsemen of the Zhao army shouted, rushed out, and followed Yan Ju to directly attack the Qin army's middle formation.

The crossbowmen of the Zhao army on both flanks also ran wildly, quickly approaching the Qin army.

Yang Duanhe had come back to his senses in this formation. Seeing Zhao Jun coming in a big way, he was furious in his heart: "Polemic array." I, Qin Jun, have no reason to be afraid of you Zhao Jun! He then shouted: "Crossbowman ready, three shots in a row!" Put! ”

The six thousand crossbowmen who were waiting in front of the Qin army pulled the trigger one after another.

"Xiu Xiu ......" In a strange cry, the first wave of 2,000 arrows jumped into the air and fell into the galloping Zhao cavalry with incomparable accuracy.

Suddenly, the Zhao cavalry that rumbled and rushed forward seemed to have crashed into a wall of arrows. Zhao Jun neighed miserably, and even the people and horses were shot to the ground. For a while, blood flew in front of the Qin army, and people shouted and neighed, making a mess!

When the Qin army was just about to shoot the second wave of arrows, the crossbowmen behind the Zhao army's formation also caught up, and the bows and crossbows were all in unison, and in an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired at the Qin army. At the same time, the second wave of arrows of the Qin army also jumped into the air and pounced on the enemy. For a while, arrows roared in the sky over the battlefield, and the density was so dense that many arrows would fight in the air!

In an instant, the crossbowmen of the two armies of the Qin and Zhao armies, who also lacked protection, were killed and wounded in the rain of arrows, and blood flowed all over the earth.

The advantage of the Qin army's crossbowmen was accuracy, continuity, and great power, while the advantage of the Zhao army's crossbowmen was the speed of fire, and the two were inseparable. In fact, to be honest, with the same number of crossbowmen shooting, the Zhao army will definitely lose to the Qin army in the end, but there is no way to distinguish the winner in a short period of time, and Li Mu wants this effect!

Just in the gap where the crossbowmen of the Qin army were temporarily suppressed, the cavalry of the Zhao army braved the dense rain of arrows and took the opportunity to rush up, quickly approaching the middle of the Qin army!

Seeing the shining halberds and long swords of the Zhao army approaching the main formation, the Qin general Yang Duanhe did not panic, and hurriedly waved his hand: "The cavalry on the left flank charges, stop the Zhao army for me!" The crossbowmen retreated to the rear of the formation, and the pikemen came up! ”

The Qin army was well-trained, and the sound moved, and the five thousand iron horsemen on the left flank shouted, pouring out like thunder, and the war halberd set up six cyan dense forests in the air to meet the enemy.

With a "bump", the cavalry of the two armies of Qin and Zhao suddenly stirred together. The halberd and the halberd, the halberd and the long sword slashed at each other, and the blood and the four organs flew around in the fierce battle, and it was completely a mess!

At this time, the crossbowmen of the Zhao army were no longer useful, but were killed by Qin Qi taking advantage of the chaos. So, Li Mu hurriedly ordered Zhao Cong to lead the crossbowmen back.

For a time, only nearly 10,000 cavalry in the two armies were engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and the battle was very tragic.

The Qin army is elite, and the Zhao army is brave, the two armies do not give in to each other, fight each other to the death, almost every breath between dozens of people are killed in the chaotic army, in less than half an hour, the cavalry of the two armies on the battlefield has shrunk by half!

Slowly, as the battle progressed, the advantages of the Zhao cavalry in training and equipment gradually appeared, and among the five or six thousand people under the dose, the Zhao cavalry was almost two to one, and the remnants of the Qin cavalry gradually became exhausted, and quickly showed signs of collapse!

These soldiers of the Zhao State in white armor deserve to be the most courageous elite of the Zhao army, these outstanding warriors did not care about their own casualties at all, they roared and roared, abandoned the protective shield, forgot about death, and flew towards the infantry phalanx of the Qin army! At the same time that the cyan halberd of the soldiers of the Qin State pierced through their bodies, the soldiers of the Zhao State also gave death to the soldiers of the Qin State at the same time! Their short swords also pierced through the heart of the Qin army!

One life is worth one life, and the courage of the soldiers of Zhao State is so heroic! In order to protect their families and defend the country, they have completed the highest mission of a soldier: to fight to the end until death!

More than half of the losses along the way, but the cavalry of the Zhao army still frantically patted their horses. The war horse galloped under the stimulus of pain. And the war horses of Zhao State were all covered by blindfolds. The blindfold makes the war horse unable to see anything, so no matter whether there is a ravine, a moat, or a sea of swords and fires, they will be unstoppable!

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......" The cavalry of the Zhao State rushed into the Qin army's military formation like a wall, and the oversized halberds of the Qin infantry also pierced the knights or war horses. But more Qin soldiers were knocked up by the furious war horses, so the scene of people turning on their backs in front of the Qin army was suddenly overturned.

The cavalry of the Zhao army rushed into the Qin army's military formation desperately, and they picked up the halberds in their hands and frantically rushed to kill everything around them.

The military spirit of the Qin army collapsed in an instant! The former army of the Qin army. Defeated by the decisive charge of the Zhao army's iron cavalry. Suddenly, the army was defeated like a mountain, and the routed Qin army's front army fled frantically towards the Chinese army's main formation. The vast majority of the Qin army's main formation were crossbow men with no melee combat ability, so the Qin army was defeated and fled.

Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, said with emotion: "You still have to rely on human lives to break down the great array of the Qin army!" Whether it is Yi'an, Feicheng, or Fanwu, if you don't leave the blood of Zhao Guonan's son, you can't expel the Qin army. ”
