Text: Chapter 43
Li Xin looked at Boyang City, which was getting closer and closer, without a little excitement, this city is important, but his combat concept may be different from all the generals of this era. A sentence that Li Xin has always believed:
People are everything.
Yes, this is his philosophy, which is not only vividly and exquisitely displayed in his management of the army, but also as his enemies, the generals of Zhongzhou countries deeply feel the power of this sentence.
But I guess even he didn't think of it. The first time he said this would be on Zhao Guo Li Mu.
Li Xin looked at the news from the scout in front of him, and the thoughts in his heart burned bigger and bigger like flames.
"This Zhao army should be the last combat strength outside Boyang City."
His intuition is very accurate, and according to the information he has so far, he has roughly analyzed Zhao Jun's current situation:
First, it is very likely that the Zhao army has taken away all the border troops on the border of Zhao and Chu.
Second, Zhao Jun should now be in a state of anxiety with the Qin State.
Third, and most importantly, it is very likely that Zhao Jun has replaced Li Mu!
The reason is very simple, as a veteran of old battles, it is absolutely impossible to make such a low-level mistake. Unless General Li Mu is really old and has begun to make mistakes......
This is Li Xin's strength, his ability to analyze the battlefield is unmatched by any general in this era. He was able to analyze the form of war so thoroughly just by relying on the little information he had in hand, which is a quality that a good general must have.
But the way of war, the land of death and life, he now carries the lives of more than 6,000 people, so he must be cautious. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
He didn't dare to act rashly at the moment: "Scout, continue to spread around, I am going to get the most accurate information!" ”
With that, more than a hundred cavalry broke away from the formation and spread out in all directions.
Many of these cavalrymen were sergeants who had defeated Northern Chu with Jing Ran, so they were naturally familiar with this kind of information strategy.
However, the scout's actions could not stop their own brigade, and the army continued to advance slowly towards its intended goal.
At the same time, Li Mu's subordinates only sent out a dozen or so cavalry, and his ability to grasp the battlefield had been reduced to a minimum. This is something he and Li Xin can't compare.
Now this veteran general who has been fighting all his life is ready to die with the enemy.
He did this just to buy more time for the young sergeants. They are the future of Zhao.
Less bloodshed now, more life in the future.
Sure enough, Li Xin's scouts all had an absolute advantage on the battlefield. Not long after Li Xin gave the order, news came immediately.
Li Xin looked at the news in front of him, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: I didn't expect it, it was actually General Li Mu!
He already knew Li Mu's location, because his scouts had already made contact with the cavalry sent out by Li Mu, and the final result was naturally obvious, Li Mu's cavalry was killed in battle, and Li Xin's scout army followed the vine and found Li Mu's location.
Li Xin's eyes were like a hungry wolf, and he saw the prey that was close at hand.
"The army is moving fast to the northwest! One person who is left behind kills the captain, and five people who are left behind kill the captain! ”
With that, he led the rest of the cavalry out first.
"Old General Li Mu, I want to get acquainted with you a long time ago!"
And Li Mu already knew that his cavalry had encountered an accident, and the enemy army was likely to know his position, maybe he had already arrived quickly.
As a veteran, Li Mu naturally knows this.
Because no wolf will give up its prey in its mouth. He is the prey now.
But Li Mu is no longer thinking about personal life and death, what he is thinking about now is the direction of luring the enemy away from the retreating sergeants.
Li Mu stopped and looked at the remaining sergeants:
"Guys, I think you've already been able to guess what you're going to do."
As he spoke, he stared at these people with his eyes.
They are all old sergeants who are too old, or have physical problems, and can no longer go to the front line.
"This time, I will not back down, not for my honor as a general, but for my Da Zhao, who can leave more fire."
How can the sergeants not understand, they are all people who have been in the barracks all their lives, some of them can't survive in their hometowns, they can only serve as soldiers to eat food, and some are people who are physically injured and can no longer go to the battlefield, their faces are full of vicissitudes, and their wrinkles are like the mountains of Zhao State.
Although they are only in the barracks to have a bite to eat, today, they will be soldiers, a group of soldiers who have died on the battlefield as the highest glory!
"General, there is no need to say more, we have already understood."
It was a sergeant of about fifty years of age who spoke, his uniform was already white, and the patches were patched.
Li Mu looked at him and couldn't say a word, he had only one belief over the years, that is, to live with his own soldiers and achieve victory, but today, he wants to take his own soldiers to a road of no return.
Li Mu's eyes were red, and he made a deep gesture: "I, Li Mu, Dai Da Zhao, thank you!" After the war, I'll wait for Huangquan to see you again! ”
There are only about a thousand people under him, and they are all old and weak, but at this time, their momentum is like tens of thousands of elite troops:
"We are willing to live and die with the general!"
What else can Li Mu say, as a general, how many soldiers have died in battle in this life, and how many people have lost their children, fathers, and husbands. Li Mu thought that their tears had long filled the tenderness in his heart, but today, he was like a father who had lost his child.
He calmed down, looked at his soldiers, and said softly:
"Departure ......"
As if they had made an appointment in advance, everyone walked briskly in the direction of Li Xin's army.
At this time, Li Xin was already beginning to prepare the army, and the 5,000 letter battalion sergeants under his command now had crossbowmen, Dachu heavy armor, pikemen, shield hands, and all of the troops that an army should have. And he also has the sharpest 1,000 cavalry army, these cavalry did not show their timidity in the face of the 30,000 Northern Chu army, and now there are only more than 1,000 people, they will not pay attention to it at all.
"General, you should directly order my cavalry army to charge and kill directly, just a thousand old and weak, I will solve it in less than half an hour, why bother so much."
It was a team of cavalry soldiers who spoke, and his words were exactly what many cavalry soldiers wanted to say.
Li Xin looked at him and said nonchalantly, "Do you know who the enemy commander is?" ”
The cavalry army was saying with a big grin: "I know, Zhao Guo Li Mu." ”
Li Xin looked at him, and his words were still plain: "Since you know, don't talk much." ”
The cavalry army was in a daze, he couldn't figure it out, even if the other party was Li Mu, but the cavalry under his command was skilled in all arches and horses, and in the face of a thousand old and weak, it could be easily solved.
But he didn't know what Li Xin thought:
Array, one general's last respect for another. And he didn't want to let his army suffer unnecessary damage before taking Boyang.
"The whole army obeys the order! Heavy infantry out of the ranks! ”
After all, there are 1,000 heavily armored soldiers in a row, except for the big formation.
The heavy infantry is the elite of Da Chu and the most important force that Da Chu relies on to survive in this era of war. The whole army of 1,000 people, all of them are strong warriors who can fight in heavy armor, and the big swords in their hands can even directly lead a cavalry with a fast horse and a horse, and cut it in two!
Moreover, this unit, surrounded by Xuanjia, the bow and crossbow from thirty paces away fundamentally injured them, and even within thirty paces, the damage of the bow and crossbow to them was negligible.
Li Xin is now using heavy armor in the first formation, which is obvious. just wants to use absolute power to directly crush the other party, without giving the other party a chance to breathe. After the heavy armoured soldiers broke the formation, the cavalry pursued. All that's left is to take the first level of credit.
Just as the army was changing, news from the scouts came again:
Li Mu has already come.
After reading the news, Li Xin fixed his eyes in front of him, and sure enough, a group of people was hurrying in his direction, and then took a closer look, and the big book on the military flag fluttering in the distance:
General Li!
Sure enough, it was him! It's really heaven to help me, Li Xin, except for this general Zhao Guo, who is the most threatening to my new army in the future.
In this world, there are many famous generals in Zhongzhou, and generation after generation of heroes have added their own glory to this world full of iron and blood.
But time is like flowing water, and there are only two famous generals still alive now:
The Great Qin Shangzhu State Gongsun Zhi, after the three dynasties of the Great Qin, once defeated the Zhongzhou figure of the Great Chu Mingguang Emperor, and went west to Xirong, so that they did not dare to look east for more than ten years, and now they have exerted their residual heat on the battlefield of Qin and Zhao to make the final contribution to their country.
The other is Li Mu, the general of Da Zhao. Li Mu was stationed in the northern frontier of Great Zhao, fought against the Northern Slaves, made the border of Zhao State derive hundreds of miles to the north, and won the most long-awaited land of the Northern Slaves in Zhongzhou.
But now, Li Mu can only lead a group of old and weak to launch the final charge.
Li Xin looked at Zhao Jun in the distance, who was in chaos, and thought silently in his heart:
"Perhaps, the cavalry charge is the best way......"
He has also relaxed his attention to Li Mu, and now Li Mu can only be regarded as a lonely sheep rushing towards the wolves......
But it had come to this, and we had to go according to the original plan.
"Heavy armor, forward!"
As soon as I gave the order, I felt that the earth began to shake, and a thousand heavy armor could actually step on the earth to shake, if it was ten thousand heavy armor, it would not be able to dominate the world.
His thoughts are exactly what Emperor Mingguang walked back then.
Li Mu also saw the heavy armor of the Chu State in the distance slowly attacking him, although it was bulky, but this army was like a big stone mill, overpowering everything he walked.
"Da Chu Chongjia, I can see you again in this life, and I have no regrets."
Li Mu looked at the Da Chu heavy armor that was getting closer and closer, and the sword in his hand was slowly raised.
"General Li Mu of Great Zhao! Die in battle! ”
All the sergeants had sex:
"Da Zhao Lao Yang Tou, die in battle!"
"Da Zhao Dongfu, die in battle!"
"Grandma's, Li Sanwa, a soldier of Da Zhao, died in battle today!"
"Roar!"
With a hoarse but powerful voice, the last Zhao army outside Boyang City rushed towards Da Chu Chongjia.
"The general died on the battlefield, it should be the greatest glory......"
A cavalry army beside Li Xin couldn't help but sigh.
Li Xin listened to his words, and looked at Li Mu who was charging forward:
"Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambition is thousands of miles...... It's a pity that such a good horse, but there is no Bole. ”
His words seemed to be talking about Li Mu and his former self.
