Chapter 395 [Fierce Battle IV]
On the Danzhu Ridge, Sima Terrier looked at the Zhao army who was about to fall into the siege, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he really wanted to thank this heavy snow, this heavy snow accumulated half a foot thick before the night, even if people rolled down from the ridge, they would not bump into anything, watching his soldiers roll down the ridge one by one, and quickly occupy the favorable terrain to prevent the Zhao army from seizing the commanding heights, Sima Terrier knew that this battle, the Qin army won.
Li Mu was really at a loss in the face of this situation, but only for a few minutes, Li Mu dispatched troops, the most important thing is to concentrate the war horses of the Zhao army, he came from the northern Xinjiang, considering that Shangdang County is mountainous, which is not conducive to cavalry charging and killing, he did not bring more than 10,000 elite cavalry from the northern Xinjiang, but there is no shortage of war horses in the Zhao army, and there are more than 2,000 foot horses used to carry them.
Li Mu made good use of cavalry, and it was rare that most of the 100,000 soldiers he brought were his old subordinates, who were no strangers to horses, Li Mu immediately selected 2,000 soldiers who were familiar with horses, and formed a cavalry army in a short time.
The cold light in the eyes of Sima Terrier on the ridge burst out, he didn't expect that Li Mu would still have the courage to organize a limited number of war horses under the attack of the two armies, and he would dare to take the initiative to attack the Qin army, which was really impatient.
Under the command of Li Mu, the two thousand cavalry rushed towards the Qin army like a rolling torrent, under the light of the moon in the night sky, against the background of the snow on the ground, this cavalry seemed to be running in the void, the indomitable momentum was unshakable, no matter what was in front of them, they seemed to be able to break their rice into pieces.
Sima Terrier on the ridge saw this scene and gasped, Sima Terrier had also commanded cavalry battles, but Sima Terrier admitted that the cavalry he commanded was far from being comparable to the cavalry of the Zhao army in front of him, he had heard that Zhao Jun Li Mu was good at using cavalry, but he didn't expect it to reach such a level.
As soon as the Qin army under the Danzhu Ridge lined up in formation, they saw the cavalry of the Zhao army surging like a torrent, and the Qin soldiers seemed to feel that the Zhao army rushing in front of them was a whole and a ferocious beast.
The Qin soldiers saw that in front of the Zhao army was a general wearing a red cloak, the general was holding a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, majestic and murderous, as if flying from the sky.
Could it be that this general of Zhao State is Li Mu, the Qin soldiers can only judge from the general's dress and momentum.
Bai Qi had already ordered to capture or kill the Zhao army general Li Mushi alive and reward him with a thousand gold, which made the Qin soldiers' blood boil, although they knew that they were by no means the opponent of this general, but the kind of heavy reward that was about to come made them forget about this danger.
The Qin soldiers are very smart, several of them rely on each other, they want to fight for their lives, they are all acquaintances, even if they die in battle, as long as they kill this Zhao general, their families will also get favors, so even if there is one percent hope, they have to fight, and they have the will to die.
Li Mu snorted coldly, not to mention the Qin army foot soldiers in front of him, even in the face of the Hu people who were good at cavalry warfare, Li Mu was not afraid, and he used cavalry to deal with infantry, which originally had an advantage.
The spear in Li Mu's hand shook, and a spear head instantly turned into more than a dozen phantoms and stabbed towards the Qin soldiers, when the spear pierced into the Qin army's array, the Qin soldiers who relied on each other were crushed at once, leaving a deep wound on everyone's body, and their eyes lost their luster in an instant.
Li Mu was unforgiving, the spear was like an illusory shadow, the Qin soldiers did not get close to Li Mu, and the blood was sprinkled in front of him, Li Mu made the Qin army a hundred-man team without resistance with the strength of one person and one horse, and it collapsed quickly.
Seeing that their main general was so brave, the morale of the cavalry of the Zhao army increased sharply, and the two thousand cavalry closely followed Li Mu into the Qin army's formation, and the big sword and spear in their hands flew up and down, setting off a bloody rain, and the scattered blood and snowflakes blended together, the stumps and broken arms of the human body were all over the ground, and the neighing of the war horses and the miserable howls of the Qin soldiers came and went......
An officer of the Qin State saw that the Zhao army was like a fierce tiger, and his eyes couldn't help but become red with a lot of blood, he shouted, and dozens of soldiers gathered around him, shouting and killing in the direction where Li Mu was. "Let's watch the first release of the literary network, please support genuine reading, support the author's creation, your one light click, warm my whole code word life."
"It's good to come." Li Mu also saw this Qin general, the spear in his hand waved hard and swept away thousands of troops, the weapons of the Qin soldiers were all blown away by Li Mu's gun, and several people's weapons were directly broken, Li Mu took advantage of the situation to clamp the horse's belly with his legs, spears and swords were waved one after another, the Qin general and dozens of Qin soldiers all died tragically in front of Li Mu's horse, and for a time the Qin army was intimidated by Li Mu's majesty and retreated.
On the ridge, Sima Terrier couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes, the nearly 10,000 Qin troops rolling down the ridge couldn't stop the Zhao army's 2,000 cavalry, and there were signs of a large-scale rout, Sima Terrier really wanted to roll down the ridge immediately to intercept Li Mu's 2,000 cavalry.
"Shoot the arrows, the crossbowmen, and immediately block the cavalry of the Zhao army." Sima Terrier shouted loudly: "If you are rushed to the bottom of the ridge by Zhao Jun, all the crossbowmen will be beheaded." ”
Li Mu is not a brave and unscrupulous general, when he led the army to rush to the bottom of the ridge, he did not stop at all, the horse's head turned, and immediately retreated after a circle under the ridge, but this time he changed direction and killed from the right side of the Qin army, so that the Qin army's crossbowmen had no use.
"General, more than 300 people were killed in our army." Li Mu's own soldiers quickly counted the casualties, thanks to Li Mu's good management of the army, the captain of each cavalry team knew his subordinates well, and the number of people killed could be seen at a glance.
When Li Mu heard this, he was full of pride, and his cavalry army only lost more than 300 people, and the casualties caused to the Qin army were only no less than 1,500 people, which was a great victory in adversity.
A victory did not scare Li Mu's mind, he knew very well the danger of his army's current situation, and the slightest carelessness would be the end of the entire army, "Li Pu, you lead the cavalry to continue to attack the Qin army's infantry formation, even if there is only one person and one horse left, you must continue to impact ...... for me."
After Li Mu deployed the cavalry, the fast horse returned to the army's formation, and under the resistance of the cavalry, it was about possible to win half an hour, and in this half an hour, the Qin army under the Danzhu Ridge would not be able to organize an effective attack, which would also be the half hour that would determine the life and death of the Zhao army.
Through the banner of the Qin army on the opposite side, Li Mu knew that the main commander of the Qin army on the opposite side would be Wang Lu, to deal with Wang Lu, Li Mu was somewhat confident, he selected 20,000 elite foot soldiers, a phalanx of every thousand people to kill Wang Yi's army, Li Mu is now taking the method of attacking the Zhao army barrier, this is also Li Mu's only way now, only by defeating the Qin army of Wang Lu's department head-on, his army has any hope of survival.
