Thirty miles north of Wu'an, at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, a tired army was resting. The bloodstains on the banner of the word "Han" are not only not dirty, but set off a kind of tragedy! The word "Yulin" shows their identity - the palace guard, this is the most elite soldier in South Korea, there is no one! The so-called cavalry is the first to belong to the feather forest, and the foot soldier is the first to push the tiger. For the country's wings, such as Lin Zhisheng, this is the king of Han's expectations for them. Win all battles, long live the feather forest, this is their innate pride.

Except for the selection of the first batch of Yulin Army, which is slightly relaxed, the next few batches are not strict! Don't take the orphans and grandchildren of non-martyrs, and don't take them from good families in non-five counties! Skillful archers and horses and superb martial arts are the most basic requirements. It's more about the quality requirements. Because it represents the king of Han to conquer the world during wartime, and is responsible for guarding the palace when there is no war, those who can be selected into the Yulin army, especially the heavy cavalry, are not models of knightly standards - integrity, kindness, loyalty, trustworthiness, and mercy, they are the owners and defenders of these virtues. They are the sharp sword in the hands of King Han, the sword is pointed at, and they are invincible.

The temporary resting place chosen by Han Teng happened to be covered by a shrub forest, and the height just overlooked the distance, and the people in the distance could not find the strangeness in the forest without approaching. However, as Li Mu expected, as the Korean army launched an offensive against the Zhao army's camp, almost all of the Zhao army's scouts wandered on the southern front, strictly guarding against the Korean army's detours, and did not care much about their own rear, that is, the north. Only a dozen scouts went out of the camp twenty miles before turning back. If they had gone ten miles deeper, they would have discovered an astonishing fact -- nearly 6,000 Korean horsemen were lying dormant in a valley, eyeing the Zhao army's camp.

The moon gradually rose, the night became darker and darker, and there was no sound in the whole world except the chirping of summer insects. Li Mu turned to the side, unable to sleep. Last night was the moment when Han Teng arrived in the plan, according to the plan. Han Teng will lead the Yulin army to raid the Zhao army's camp, and when the fire is together, Li Mu will also gather the main force to storm the Zhao camp. But Li Mu waited for a night last night, but the Zhao army camp was quiet. After dawn, Li Mu knew that Han Teng was most likely in trouble.

Trekking nearly thousands of miles, or deep into the territory of the enemy. Li Mu naturally knew the difficulty. Therefore, there was also an emergency plan in the original plan, if Han Teng did not meet the deadline, Li Mu would wait for three more days. Three days later, Li Mu will fully storm the Zhao army camp, instead of investing huge forces like now, but in fact retaining a lot of combat power.

So Li Mu is still waiting tonight, how much Li Mu hopes that Han Teng can create a miracle, a miracle that only belongs to the Yulin Army. As it turns out, there is always an echo if you don't forget. In the second half of the night. With the rumbling sound of iron horses, the Zhao army camp was in chaos. Li Mu also immediately realized that the time he had been waiting for for a long time had come. Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. If Zhao Jun calmly blocked the Yulin Army, all his hard work would be in vain.

The 20,000 Han troops gathered as fast as they could and directly slaughtered the nearest Zhao army's western camp. The remaining 20,000 Korean troops also began to assemble under the reprimand of commanders at all levels, and when the assembly was completed, they headed for the southern camp. However, the fastest was still the heavy cavalry of the 3,000-feather forest army. They have not been given the opportunity to play, and they have long been unable to hold back. The light cavalry robes who also belonged to the Yulin Army slaughtered in all directions, crisscrossing thousands of miles. They could only wash their horses over and over again. Soldiers are hungry for glory, not to mention the elite of the elite, the heavy cavalry!

Six thousand Yulin light horsemen stepped through the Zhao army camp from the north, killing people like wind and clouds, lighting tents when encountering, and the firelight reflected half of the sky. Zhao Jun was in chaos. No one knows how many enemy soldiers have been killed, and the soldiers of the Zhao army only know that the enemy is like a demon from hell, ruthlessly harvesting their own lives. After watching countless robes die in front of them, the first reaction of most of the Zhao soldiers was to stay away from this Shura Hell. Escape. Run for your life, and run as far away as possible. They exposed their backs to the South Korean army, which accelerated their demise even more. There will be no soldiers, and no soldiers will be able to find generals. There are those who are in a hurry to get dressed, those who are busy looking for weapons, those who want to stop the Korean army, and those who are looking for the commander, and the entire Zhao army camp is in chaos!

Han Teng naturally knew that his biggest task was to create chaos, so where there were many people gathered, Han Teng led his Yulin light cavalry to kill there, just not to give the Zhao army time to assemble into a formation. After rushing and killing the two back and forth, the Zhao army not far away was in a commotion, and the enemy was attacked on his back and back, and he was even more chaotic. Han Teng knew that his side had won this battle!

Pingyuanjun listened to the continuous killing shouts outside, and asked in a trembling voice, "Outside, what's going on outside?" Why is it so confusing? ”

A guard sweated profusely and rushed into the tent from the outside, and hurriedly said, "Prime Minister! Big things are wrong! The Korean army has come in! General Le is directing the army to resist. ”

"Nonsense!" Pingyuan Jun blushed, panted a little angrily and said, "How could the Han army come in? We're so well guarded! The scout kept an eye on the South Korean camp. What's more, the killing cry was clearly coming from the north at the beginning! ”

"Really! Prime minister! Don't dare to hide it! Thousands of Korean iron cavalry suddenly appeared in the north of the camp, and our army was defenseless, and was rushed in by the South Korean army at once. The main force of Li Mu's army also attacked us from the west and south, and there was chaos outside! The guard replied loudly in a changed tone.

Pingyuanjun fell to his seat all of a sudden, and his first reaction was that the general trend had gone. The strength of the ROK army is comparable to that of its own side, and judging from the battles of the past few days, its combat strength is not inferior to that of its own side. Although he repeatedly made wild remarks and ridiculed the Korean army, it was all to boost morale. Now the entire camp is in chaos, and the Zhao army cannot organize an effective defense for a while. When the defense is well organized, I am afraid that it will also be defeated by the overwhelming South Korean army because of heavy losses. Your own defeat is a foregone conclusion!

Think about it again, the Korean army can wander to the north where the garrison of their own camp is weakest unconsciously, and if someone tells him that this is God's help to Korea, he will not believe it if he kills Pingyuanjun. It must have been a conspiracy from the start! Li Mu deliberately paralyzed himself, attracted all his attention, and then made a noise!

The calm Plains Jun said to the guards beside him in a deep voice: "Go and find General Le, just say that the prime minister asked him a word, can he be good tonight?" If it can't be good, how much time is left. ”

The guards took the order and left, and Pingyuan-kun's words were already obvious. The Zhao army will definitely be defeated tonight, and Pingyuan Jun only wants to know if there is any danger of annihilation of the entire army. If the whole army is destroyed, how long can Lecheng hold there to buy time for Pingyuanjun to escape.

If the Han army can be defeated, Pingyuanjun will naturally not flee from the battle. But the war is fierce, and Pingyuan Jun is the prime minister of Zhao. He is the younger brother of King Zhao, and if he is captured or killed, the shock to Zhao will be incomparable. And whether he is killed or captured, the reputation that Pingyuan Jun values the most will be ruined, which will become a stain that Pingyuan Jun can't erase in his life. This is not allowed by the Plains.

Comparatively speaking, the defeat and flight back to Handan are not so ugly, and Pingyuanjun can completely shift the responsibility for the defeat to Lecheng! With a little operation, a reputation for breaking out of the encirclement as a warning message to Handan may even be added to Pingyuan-kun!

Soon, Pingyuan-kun's personal guards returned with Lecheng's reply - the battle was dangerous. In this battle, the Zhao army has lost the opportunity, the general trend has gone, please retreat quickly for the sake of Zhao's plan! Lecheng is willing to cover the prime minister after the break!

Pingyuan Jun sighed and said sadly, "Is there no room for redemption? ”

The guards were gloomy, thinking of the bloody battle, and said in a low voice: "General Le said that if he can lead the army to break through by luck, he will definitely personally apologize to King Zhao!" If you are unfortunate enough to die in battle. Ask the prime minister to take care of his family. ”

What a man! What a man! Pingyuan-kun thought secretly. Le Cheng apologized to King Zhao, which means that he has no big responsibility. If the opponent dies in battle. I have accepted the other party's affection, and it is also appropriate to take care of the other party's family.

"Let's go!" Having made up his mind, Hirahara-kun immediately announced that he would withdraw. At the moment, it is Le Cheng who is blocking the Han army, but it is really hard to say how long he can block it. Fortunately, the Korean army did not launch an offensive from the east, and it is estimated that the other party is afraid of Handan's reinforcements, and Pingyuan Jun is confident that he only needs to break through to the east for sixty miles and arrive in Handan.

"Prime Minister! So how many soldiers and horses do we bring? ”

Pingyuan-kun was stunned. Only then did he suddenly realize that there was only his own 500-person personal guard battalion around. It's not necessarily safe to break through like this. Who knows if the South Korean army sent troops to ambush themselves in front?! When the time comes, he will crash headlong into the ambush circle of the South Korean army, which will be much more dangerous than being in the big camp now.

"Take two thousand men!" Pingyuan-kun gritted his teeth and said.

At present, the Zhao army stationed in the eastern camp is constantly being transferred to the western camp and the southern camp to support, and as for the northern camp, there is no Zhao army there for a long time. As the main general, Pingyuanjun is naturally easy to speak. Therefore, it was very easy to snatch two thousand Zhao Jun, who was originally going to support Lecheng.

The resistance of the Zhao army was not indomitable, and after the initial panic, the calm Zhao army formed a thick formation to deal with the repeated onslaught of the Korean army. It's a pity that at this time, the number of Zhao Jun was only 30,000. Among them, the original 10,000 cavalry is less than 3,000 left. Although Zhao Jun's clothes and armor were disheveled, and although most of Zhao Jun only held a spear or sword in their hands, this did not affect Zhao Jun's will to resist. As long as he has a weapon, as long as he has a robe that he can trust, Zhao Jun will not admit that he is a lamb to the slaughter.

The Han army's strategy against Zhao Jun was simple, but it also worked. The heavy cavalry smashed through the phalanx of the Zhao army, the light cavalry divided the Zhao army, and the chariot infantry responded to the counterattack of the Zhao army. The few archers and even fewer shield soldiers of the Zhao army became the deadliest vulnerability at this moment, and the casualties increased dramatically.

When the Han army attacked the camp, most of the Zhao army only had time to take the most threatening weapons - long swords or spears, long ge, as for crossbow arrows and the like, the Korean army was killed in front of them, what else did they need long-range weapons, did they think they didn't die fast enough?! The Zhao army from Dongying is full of pikemen, archers, and shield bearers, but it can't help the huge consumption. So there was a very strange scene on the whole battlefield, the dominant Korean army stabilized its position and released waves of arrow rain, and the Zhao army, which was not in good armor, took the initiative to attack. This is also something that cannot be helped, if Zhao Jun stands still, he will become a live target of the Korean army, and any army will collapse in the face of such a situation of sitting and waiting to be killed. On the contrary, if you venture to get close to the Korean army, the Korean archers will have scruples.

The heavy cavalry of the Han army took advantage of the loose action of the Zhao army to crash into the phalanx of the Zhao army, and tore off a piece of meat with every charge. Hundreds of people, more than thousands. Lecheng can only reluctantly accept the fact that he is "directed". Although he didn't want to admit it, Lecheng understood that every decision he made was induced by Li Mu and had to be made. Li Mu knew how to use the shape to attack the morale of the Zhao army step by step, and waited for the morale of the Zhao army to be completely low. I'm afraid that it will be the time for the South Korean army to counterattack in an all-round way.

For Zhao Jun, the current shape shì is just that he can't fight and can't fight, and he can't run and run. If you die here, you can only die dead, or die aggrievedly; If you run away, you will die faster. After all, there is a distance of sixty miles from here to Handan. Even if the defenders of Handan came out to respond. It also means that there is a distance of forty miles. The cavalry of the Korean army was eyeing each other, believing that they liked to have a pursuit battle with the infantry of the Zhao army.

Lecheng hesitated, but gave up the initial plan to break through. The number of cavalry of the Zhao army was too large, a full 7,000 people. Their 3,000 cavalry were already frightened, and it was absolutely impossible to buy enough time for their own evacuation. From Wu'an to Handan, it is a flat river, which is most suitable for cavalry assault. Once followed by the South Korean army and rushed into Handan City, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In fact, Lecheng is pure self-deception. If the defenders of Handan saw Le Cheng leading a large wave of Korean troops to kill under the city of Handan. The first reaction is definitely to close the four doors instead of going out to pick them up!

Since he can't break through, at least not now, Lecheng can only continue to command the army and play with the Korean army. There is still a trace of luck in Le Cheng's heart, maybe the Korean army is worried about casualties or worried that Handan's reinforcements will take the initiative to leave the battle! When the time comes, won't you be able to live!

Perhaps the heavens heard Lecheng's prayer, and after the two armies of Han and Zhao fought for more than two hours, the Han army took the initiative to retreat. Zhao Jun didn't have long to be happy, and the neat voice resounded throughout the night sky - Zhao Sheng was dead! Surrender or kill!

All the Zhao soldiers were stunned. Subconsciously looked at the Chinese army where Lecheng was. Although the banner of the Chinese army is fluttering there, there is only the figure of Lecheng. Where is the shadow of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains. Just now, all the people only cared about fighting with the Han army, and they didn't care who was in command of them at all. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Lecheng issued orders in the name of Pingyuan Jun and Prime Minister Zhao Sheng, and now he is eating his own bitter fruit. Looking at several captains and military marquis looking at him with extremely uneasy and unbelieving eyes, Le Cheng was suffering. I can't tell everyone, everyone admires Pingyuanjun took the initiative to run back to Handan for help for the safety of the army! This kind of talk. Even ordinary soldiers would not believe it, let alone officers! If the soldiers knew, they would only feel that at the most dangerous time, Zhao Sheng ran away. Ran away cleanly, abandoned them and ran!

If at this time, Zhao Sheng could raise his arms and shout, the rumors would naturally be self-defeating. But the problem is that Zhao Sheng can't appear here at all. Lecheng can't hide it if he wants to. Regarding Han Jun's statement that Zhao Sheng is dead, Lecheng naturally can't confirm it. He could only be silent, after all, Zhao Jun would be heartbroken if he told the truth. In Zhao Jun's view, Coke's silence undoubtedly acquiesced to Han Jun's statement. The prime minister actually died in battle?! For a while, Zhao Jun couldn't accept this fact.

In any army, it is a great responsibility to die in battle. No amount of credit this army has made is enough to wipe it out! What's more, the Zhao army has already lost more than half of its troops, and what it has gained is a big defeat! All of them are even more to blame. Even if he escapes back to Handan, King Zhao's anger is enough to drown himself!

Almost instantly, Zhao Jun lost the courage to fight again. Li Mu's entourage stood up with a white flag and announced the policy of the Korean army - as long as they lay down their arms, the surrendered Zhao army will not be mistreated in any form, and those who are willing to join the Korean army will enjoy a higher level of treatment, and those who are unwilling will be redeemed by the Zhao state!

"Fight! War! War! "Kill! Kill! Kill! The mighty and majestic shouts came and went, and the sword of the Han army reflected a compelling cold light under the reflection of the firelight, and as the first place Zhao Jun may have missed or lost the weapon in his hand because he was tired, more and more Zhao Jun lowered his head and threw the weapon on the ground. Like a plague, the sound of weapons falling to the ground on the entire battlefield was endless. Lecheng's face became extremely ugly, the general trend has gone, the general trend has gone!

Half an hour later, all the Zhao troops were escorted back to Sheyi in batches. The Zhao army, which had lost its fighting spirit, was meek as a lamb, and they did not understand why they were defeated by the Korean army with the same strength, and it was a big defeat. The South Korean army paid no more than 12,000 casualties, in exchange for more than 30,000 Zhao casualties and nearly 20,000 prisoners.

Han Jun gave Zhao Jun enough respect, as they had promised. In particular, the chiefs, uncles, and subordinates who have been specially identified and put together are the cornerstone of the good functioning of the entire army and the terminal nerves of the army. How well an army is commanded, and how well a war goes, depends on them a lot. South Korea has expanded so much over the years that Yan Zòng needs the backbone of these armies. Putting these people together alone can not only effectively avoid the resistance of the Zhao army (although the Zhao army surrendered, it is also possible to regret the resistance, but the Korean army is very cautious). When the soldiers are fighting, they are all under the command of the chiefs, uncles, and subordinate commanders, just like brains, without these people, the prestige of wanting to provoke trouble is also strict and insufficient, and they cannot become a big weapon), and they can further publicize the policy.

Li Mu is very clear, ordinary Zhao soldiers are short-sighted, and the foundation is in Zhao State, I am afraid that it will not be so lightly wooed. Those high-ranking officers with more than 1,000 generals have a certain reputation and status, and they are reluctant to abandon the current one. On the contrary, these junior officers in the army, who are more than superior to the lower, are not only in the prime of life and have rich experience, but also more or less weigh them. These are the places that Li Mu likes. (To be continued......)
