Chapter 178: General Zhao's Decision
Li Mu's military tent is probably the only place in the entire Chinese army camp where you can't see the lingering breath of death, and the guards standing guard in front of the camp tent are also the only soldiers among the many soldiers who still seem to be a little energetic.
Gao Huan had already roughly learned from the mouth of the previous herald that more than 400,000 Zhao troops had been besieged by the Qin army for a month, and they had already run out of food and ammunition. A few days ago, there was a tragedy in which a soldier starved to death, was disemboweled, and his companions were disemboweled, and human flesh was eaten.
People who have lived in peaceful times since childhood may not be able to understand the cruelty of war, but when Gao Huan and his party really entered the big tent and saw General Li Mu, they immediately felt a sense of slaughter.
I saw a heroic gold-armored young man with tough eyebrows and a sturdy figure sitting in the middle of the big tent, who was General Li Mu.
Gao Huan glanced at this General Li Mu, and the task prompt of the scene battle immediately sounded in his ears.
"Li Mu, one of the top combat forces of Zhao State, has honorary doctorate-level strength, and can defeat dragon-level fierce beasts if he is fully prepared."
Although he was also an honorary doctorate, Gao Huan didn't think that any of the four people on his side could fight with this General Li Mu.
After the four of them saluted Li Mu together, Gao Huan asked: "The last general saw the general, I don't know if the general urgently summoned us and others, but he thought of a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”
Li Mu's armor shone with the brilliance of magical power, but his eyes were dim.
Hearing Gao Huan's question, he sighed softly and said, "Everyone, to this day, I also know that the general trend is irreversible. But the defeat is all because of me, I will die alone, how can I involve the pillars of the country to bury me? ”
"Tonight, I'll take a team of guards to charge into battle. At that time, the white Qi will inevitably raise troops to chase after you, so you can take your subordinates and flee for your lives. ”
Li Mu's face was desolate when he said this, obviously he was already determined to die.
Gao Huan looked at the few people behind him, and secretly said bad in his heart.
He died alone, but the 400,000 army also failed to break through after the dragons were leaderless, and their lives were lost in Changping.
Moreover, as long as Li Mu dies, the task of Gao Huan and his party will be declared a failure, and the efforts of the first two stages will be in vain.
"General! Never! Gao Huan said hurriedly.
"I heard that Bai Qi is a killing habit, and it is good to slaughter the city and surrender, and the general will definitely be more auspicious when he goes! Even if we go back alive, what face will we have to see the king! ”
"Moreover, once the general falls into the hands of the enemy, our soldiers will inevitably be in turmoil, and there will be no possibility of a decisive battle with the thief. Your Excellency, please think twice! ”
Gao Huan's words were sincere, and there were even tears in his eyes, and with the trembling of his body and the aggravation of his breathing, it seemed that he was really a member of Zhao Jun.
Masaki Yihang also stepped forward just right and said, "General, please believe that we are not greedy for life and afraid of death." Moreover, the current situation is by no means the fault of you, the general, and all of us are responsible. In any case, we will live and die with the general, and we will never abandon the general. ”
Li Mu looked at Gao Huan and his party, and there was gradually water vapor rising in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed, drew his sword, and said, "If the husband dies, he will die, and there is no reason to be afraid!" Well, if you want to live and die with me, I won't force you! I just want to kill more enemies and thieves, and it is best to be able to cut off the white head, so that the king can get rid of this trouble! ”
When Li Mu said this, his fighting spirit was awe-inspiring, and there was no will to die in his voice, which made Gao Huan and the others feel a little more relaxed.
At this moment, the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and a herald rushed in without notice, with a feathered arrow stuck in his shoulder.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Qin army just shot another round into the camp, and dozens of brothers died." The herald's body trembled, and he said in a slightly sobbing tone.
In the month that the Zhao army was besieged, not only was it short of water and food, but even there were few arrows left. Coupled with the strength of the Qin bow, in the face of the Qin army's shooting, the soldiers of the Zhao State were extremely difficult to counterattack in addition to dodging.
Moreover, these Qin troops often shouted and left after a round of shooting, not giving the soldiers of Zhao State a chance to take revenge.
Gao Huan knew very well that the purpose of the Qin army in doing this was nothing more than to wear down the will of the Zhao army and make it collapse without a fight. In other words, he could do this level of conspiracy.
Li Mu stepped forward to help the herald up, the magic power in his palm stared into a ball, and gently pressed towards the herald's injured part.
The wooden arrows and iron arrows were instantly elementalized and pulled out of the wounded soldier's body. The wound also quickly stopped bleeding and scabbed.
The ability to transform the elements is a basic skill for a magician, but Gao Huan has really seen someone who can use it so accurately.
After healing the wounded herald, Li Mu looked at Gao Huan again and said, "If it drags on like this, the soldiers will become more and more tired, and there will be no possibility of fighting." It's better to give it a go tonight, and maybe you can fight for a glimmer of life for the soldiers! ”
Gao Huan heard the determination in Li Mu's words, and immediately stopped Mazaki Yihang, who was about to speak out, and then said: "Since the general has made a decision, the general will immediately return to the camp to count the people." After nightfall, taking advantage of his Qin bow's lack of strength, he just broke his army formation in one fell swoop. ”
After that, Gao Huan took a few other people to say goodbye to Li Mu and immediately left his tent.
……
Coming out of Li Mu's tent, everyone walked a little longer, and Mazaki Yihang hurriedly walked to Gao Huan's side and said, "Mr. Gao, why did you stop me from speaking just now?" ”
Gao Huan glanced sideways at the Yingzhou warrior and said, "You want to persuade him not to send troops and hold his position, don't you?" ”
Mazaki Yihang nodded and said, "As long as we hold on for twenty-four hours, our mission will be completed, so why take the initiative to send troops?" ”
Gao Huan shook his head, glanced at the listless soldiers around him, and said, "Look at these soldiers, let them stand and probably can't stand, if they stay for twenty-four hours, do you know how difficult it is?" ”
"It's better to give them a chance to give it a go, and earn their own lives, maybe it will have a miraculous effect."
"But......" Mazaki wanted to say something to refute it, but found that he was running out of words again.
And Gao Huan looked at him, and then said: "You have also completed the two stages of tasks, you should understand that there is absolutely no shortcut for you to take these tasks, and if you seek stability, you will only increase the difficulty of the task." ”
"The so-called wealth has no other way than to seek it in danger."
