Fight

In the field, Li Mu's residence, the generals and captains who were responsible for protecting the safety of Yanmen County were gathered together, quietly waiting for their commander, Li Mu, to appear. "The warden has arrived!" The guards in front of the hall shouted, and all the soldiers in the hall stood up one after another, standing respectfully on both sides of the hall door.

"Greetings to Lord Gunjo!" When Li Mu stepped into the hall with one foot, all the generals unanimously clenched their fists and saluted, and the sound of armor and swords colliding echoed in the hall for a long time with the shouts.

"You may be seated!" Li Mu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and said again and again with a smile on his face. When the generals heard this, they all sat down, and Li Mu also took three steps and two steps to the top position.

"You and I, Li Mu, are also old acquaintances, and you must have guessed what I called the generals today!" Li Mu picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the table in front of him and said: "According to the report of our army scouts, Xiongnu Shan Yu has arrived in the camp 20 miles from here, with my understanding of Xiongnu Shan Yu, the big war will come in the next few days, so it is time to assign you combat tasks!" ”

"Please command!" The generals replied in unison: "We will serve the country loyally, fight hard to kill the enemy, and if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent!" ”

"There are about 200,000 Xiongnu troops in the south this time, of which about 150,000 are gathered in the Xiongnu camp 20 miles away, and it is expected to attack our army as the main force, and another 50,000 are scattered in various places as a countermeasure, and it is very likely that they will prepare to invade our Zhao land." Li Mu paced with excitement and said: "In order to deal with the upcoming war, my Zhao army must also be deployed accordingly, the core of which is that I personally lead 100,000 elites to fight with the main force of the Xiongnu, and the remaining 30,000 troops rely on the Great Wall to prevent the Xiongnu from breaking through the border and entering the country." ”

"General, I don't know if I should say anything about my humble position?" Hearing this, Sima Shang stood up and asked. Li Mu solemnly made a gesture to please speak.

"The Huns came to the nest this time, with 100,000 against 150,000, is it too big!" Sima Shang reminded worriedly.

"Is General Sima, who is known as fearless of death, also a day of timidity?" Li Mu joked with a smile.

"County guard, I, Sima Shang, have been following you for more than ten years, as long as you are the point of your horsewhip, I dare to lead the troops to attack." Shang Ma Shang straightened his waist and said proudly: "It's just that this battle is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the survival of the Northland, I hope you can think carefully to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" ”

"General Sima, rest assured, I, Li Mu, never dared to gamble with the lives of soldiers, and such a decision was made after careful consideration." Li Mu walked to the center of the hall with a solemn face, lifted a piece of cloth, and then said, "Everyone, please look at this picture!" ”

The generals followed Li Mu's fingers and looked at the center of the hall, only to see a huge clay model placed on the huge wooden table, the shape of the model is concave and convex, there are ups and downs, there are pits and depressions. "This is a topographic map along the Great Wall!" There were smart generals who exclaimed.

Li Mu nodded, and then said: "This is not just a topographic map along the Great Wall, to be precise, it should be a grassland topographic map north of the Great Wall!" He is a grassland map that thousands of intelligence officers of our army went deep into the grassland to investigate, and it took more than a year to draw a grassland map! ”

"Exactly a genius idea! What a beautiful object! A general sighed earnestly: "Let the Buddha investigate on the spot!" ”

"After careful consideration, I decided to place the ambush of the Hun army here, and for this reason, I also specially gave this place an easy-to-understand name - Burial Valley." Li Mu took the baton handed by the servant, pointed to a hill surrounded by mountains on three sides on the topographic map and said: "A section of the Great Wall here is under the jurisdiction of General Gongsun Ying, so let him explain the topography of this place for everyone!" ”

Gongsun Ying, who had already been prepared, stood up when he heard this, he quickly walked to Li Mu's side, pointed to the Burial Valley and said: "The last general has personally visited the Burial Valley to investigate, according to the old man who lives in the village not far from here, this place was originally called the Valley of Tibetan Soldiers, because the martial spirit king Zeng Tunbing and this was named to avoid the cold wind. This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountains are concave in this depression into the territory of my Zhao country, like a person stretching out his arms to embrace the grassland, the inside is narrow and the outside is wide, and the two sides extend into the grassland for a long time. The hilly area is tens of miles in circumference, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and although the mountain is not high, it is better than the boulders, and the slopes are steep, so it is difficult to climb, so it is indeed a good place for ambushes. ”

Gongsun Ying glanced at Li Mu, who was listening intently, and then continued: "In my opinion, our army can prepare a large number of bows and arrows on the three Great Walls, and condescendingly kill and injure a large number of Xiongnu troops, but if you want to ambush 150,000 Xiongnu troops in one fell swoop, I really think it will be difficult!" ”

"I don't know if General Gongsun has a different opinion, please don't hesitate to advise!" Li Mu heard the words and sincerely asked for advice.

"The last general thinks that there are two difficulties, one is how to block the exit of the valley of burial, you must know that the mouth of this valley is ten miles wide, once the Hun army realizes that it is in the Jedi, it will be repeated regardless of the impact of sacrifice, and the tragedy of the battle is unimaginable! Second, the last general had doubts about whether the defenders could rely on the terrain to hold the Great Wall for a long time, after all, if the Xiongnu army continued to attack regardless of casualties, it was not completely impossible to cross the Great Wall! ”

"I have also considered General Gongsun's worries, and I already have a perfect idea and deployment!" Li Mu said calmly, and took out three orders from the lottery holder on the table.

"Gongsun Ying, I order you to lead 20,000 archers, 10,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 10,000 defenders of the Great Wall to garrison the Great Wall in the valley section, accumulate more bows and arrows, recruit the surrounding people, and be sure to block the Xiongnu army. Do you dare to take orders? Li Mu handed the order to Gongsun Ying and said. Gongsun Ying knelt down on one knee, solemnly accepted the order, and promised in his mouth.

"Zhao Yin City Guard, I order you to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to patrol Zhao Realm. You can mobilize all the officials and generals in Yanmen County, but you must ensure that once a small Xiongnu army breaks through the pass, it will be quickly annihilated. Do you dare to take orders? Li Mu stretched out his powerful hand again and handed the mottled arrow to Zhao Yin's eyes. Zhao Yin, like Gongsun Ying, solemnly accepted the order.

"General Xu Chongye, I order you to lead 20,000 original Great Wall defenders to garrison all sections of the Great Wall except for the section of the Buried Valley, once the military situation can be self-determined, there is no need to inform me, but you must ensure that the Xiongnu army cannot enter. I promise, as long as you do this, you will be a great achievement, and you dare to take the order? Li Mu gave the order again, and then another general solemnly took the order in the eyes of everyone, and promised again and again.
