Chapter 339: Appointment of Qin Mu (Outbreak)
Li Zhao's words calmed Zhao Jin down.
In his heart, he didn't want to use Qin Mu, but now, he had to use it.
After the next dynasty, he wore a royal robe and went to death row alone.
Qin Mu was imprisoned on death row, ready to be beheaded at any time, and at this time he was wearing a cloak of hair, his hands and feet were bound by iron chains, and he was sitting on the ground in prison clothes.
"See the king-" Outside the cell, the voice of the jailer came, hearing this, Qin Mu's heart moved, and he stood up on the spot, with the rattling of the iron chain, he grabbed the stake of the cell with both hands and looked on tiptoe.
Not long after, Zhao Jin had already come here, and when he saw the king, Qin Mu knelt on the ground to give a salute, while Zhao Jin looked at him with a gloomy face, and did not ask him to get up, but said lukewarmly: "Qin Mu, as you said, now that my Yan army has been defeated, losing more than 200,000 troops, are you satisfied?" β
Yes!? Defeated so quickly? When Qin Mu heard this, a sense of sadness hit his heart, he knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "O king, minister, I would rather die than see my Yan army defeatedββ"
"Humph! Isn't that exactly what you want to see!? Zhao Jin snorted coldly.
"The king, the reason why the minister said such things is actually just to make the king take back his life." Qin Mu explained.
"That's it! Don't talk about that! Zhao Jin said unhappily: "This king asks you, now my more than 100,000 Yan troops are holding Cangzhou, and the Feng army is attacking the city day and night, in your opinion, can Cangzhou be defended!?" β
"Cangzhou can't be lost!" Qin Mu said directly: "If Cangzhou is lost, the other counties and counties in the original territory occupied by our country will also fall one after another!" Therefore, when here, completely block the pace of the wind army, and even, defeat it here! β
"Who can keep it?"
"General Han Yun."
"What else?"
Qin Mu was silent.
Zhao Jin stared at him and said, "You are pretending to be crazy and stupid, don't you just want this king to make you handsome!" Now this king has fulfilled your wish! However, if you can't defeat the Feng Army and hold Cangzhou in this battle, you don't have to come back! β
Yes? When Qin Mu heard this, he was dumbfounded, and he was stunned for a while before he reacted, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Minister, you must not dishonor the king's order!" β
"That's it! Without further ado, you immediately take this king's edict and go to Cangzhou to take over as the commander of the whole army! Also, do you want reinforcements? Zhao Jin said.
"Dare to ask my king, the current situation between the enemy and us." Qin Mu said.
"My Yan army still has less than 150,000, and the Feng army is more than 300,000, which is roughly twice as large as mine." Zhao Jin said.
"So, sir, don't send reinforcements." Qin Mu said.
"Oh?" When Zhao Jin heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he said in a condensed voice: "Do you know that if you are defeated again, our country will be in danger. β
"Minister, have faith." Qin Mu said directly.
"Good!" Zhao Jin shook his voice and said, "Come on, open the prison door......"
Jianglong was defeated, and Zhao Jin had no choice but to reactivate Qin Mu, who held the Wang Zhao and began to rush to Cangzhou non-stop.
A few days later, the wind army ran out of stone bullets, but the Yan army in Cangzhou City, but still resisted fiercely, although it was an old city, but the city defense was perfect, after a wild bombardment, although it was full of devastation, but there was no place to collapse.
On this day, the real siege of the Wind Army began.
With Lu Chen's order, the war drums of the wind army camp thundered, and the infantry soldiers began to rush towards the city pass frantically, countless cloud ladders were erected on the city wall, and from a distance, there were soldiers everywhere who were climbing up like ants.
The rain of arrows on both sides shuttled back and forth in the air from time to time, and on the city gate, from time to time there were stone giant trees thrown down by the Yan army, and the miserable howls filled the audience.
This was a hard bloody battle, after a day of fierce fighting, the city wall was sprinkled with blood, and the two armies of Fengyan lost more than 10,000 yuan, and at this time, Qin Mu arrived.
In Cangzhou City, in the conference hall.
The generals of the Yan army gathered, Qin Mu was dressed in commander's armor, cloaked in a cloak, and strode in, and then stood at the top, turned around, held Wang Zhao high in his right hand, and said loudly:
"The generals will receive the king's orderβ"
As he spoke, the sound of armor rubbing was everywhere, and people pulled off their robes, knelt down on one knee, and clenched their fists.
Qin Mu looked around, then unfolded the royal edict and read: "The Great King's Order, that is, Qin Mu is appointed as the commander of the whole army, and Jiang Long is the deputy commander, so as to resist the wind and ...... the army."
After listening to this simple royal decree, all the generals kneeling below looked at each other, but several of them were happy, and these were also veterans of the Yan Army, and they knew Qin Mu's talent in using soldiers, and then, everyone said in unison:
"The ministers obey the king's commandβ"
After getting up, Jiang Long's face was a little ugly, he arched his hand towards Qin Mu and said, "Congratulations to Qin Shuai." β
"What's the joy of?" Qin Mu glanced at him and said, "After this defeat, our Yan army has lost more than 200,000 troops, and the most important thing at the moment is to think about how to repel the Feng army!" β
Jiang Long was suddenly embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "Yes, yes." β
And his younger brother Jiang Hu frowned, staring at Qin Mu dissatisfied, when the two brothers went out on the expedition before, it was this Qin Mu, who said that the Yan army would be defeated, and now the king asked him to replace his brother's handsome position, how could Jiang Hu be comfortable in his heart, everything Qin Mu showed in his eyes, and naturally became a 'villain' posture.
He said sullenly: "Although our army was defeated, we also held the city pass, so that the Feng army could not advance an inch, Qin Shuai arrived, I don't know what to do." β
Qin Mu first glanced at him, then looked at everyone and said, "Now the soldiers!" Ben Shuai must know the specific situation of both the enemy and us! β
As he spoke, he withdrew the edict of the king, strode towards the handsome position, and then sat down, waved his hand and said, "All the generals are seated." β
People returned to their positions one after another, and they all looked at Qin Mu intently, Jiang Long sat on his side, and couldn't help asking: "Qin Shuai, I don't know how many troops have been added to Cangzhou this time, the king?" β
"There are no reinforcements arriving in the country, and if we want to repel the wind army, we have to rely on our hundreds of thousands of soldiers." Qin Mu said directly.
"Huh? This...... Why didn't the king send reinforcements here, you must know that now the wind army is twice as large as mine, and if you want to repel the wind army, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete it with only our more than 100,000 men and horses. Jiang Long said worriedly.
In this regard, Qin Mu did not explain much, in his opinion, the battle between the two armies is not the side with more troops can win absolutely, among them, there are too many ways to win! Throughout history, not to mention that the enemy army is twice as large as its own, even if it is three times or even several times, there are many examples of winning more with less.
He waved his hand slightly to stop Jiang Long's words, and then asked everyone: "The rank has been fighting with the Feng Army for half a month, can you come up with any effective ways to deal with the enemy?" β
