Li Mu looked around, and everywhere he looked, all the Donghu cavalry were densely packed, and the number was several times that of Zhao Yan's coalition army.

The Donghu royal tent was parked on a high slope a few miles away, and the royal tent was equipped with wheels under it, pulled by thirty-six majestic war horses, and it was a palace that could be moved.

King Donghu stood under the canopy outside the king's tent, with a panoramic view of the battlefield, this is a man about forty years old, holding a halberd two feet long, majestic, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a bare chest, dark skin, thick hair covering most of his cheeks, revealing two huge and bright eyes.

10,000 Eastern Jackal rode behind him, and his breath was connected with the King of Donghu, like a mountain standing on the grassland. The soldiers were all dressed in leather armor, their waists were straight, their eyes were looking ahead, they did not make the slightest sound, and even their horses did not move.

】

This is an extremely elite legion!

The leaders of the other major tribes led their respective armies on both sides, and the scene was a bit noisy, and some tribes were even arguing with each other.

If the Xiongnu is a plate of loose sand, then Donghu is a plate of loose sand.

The king of Donghu does not have absolute leadership over Donghu, although he is the nominal king of Donghu, and the tribe he leads is the strongest tribe in Donghu, but he cannot crush other tribes, and only when he is external, he will play a role.

In peacetime, the major tribes fight separately, do not belong to each other, attack each other, and the scene is more chaotic than the Central Plains, after all, the Central Plains still pays attention to a name, and they don't even talk about the name.

"General Li Mu, we ...... We seem to have missed ......" Qu Jing said worriedly, a worried look on his wrinkled face, his sparse beard trembling in the wind, his left hand clutching the reins.

Qu Jing used to be a native of Chu State, and he was a nobleman of Chu State, and it can be seen from his surname that when King Yan Zhao built the Golden Terrace, Qu Jing rushed to Yan State from other countries like Le Yi, Zou Yan and others.

However, compared with Le Yi and others, Qu Jing's reputation is even more insignificant, and his ability is relatively mediocre, after the death of King Yan Zhao, Qu Jing was not reused in Yan State, and he was also old, so he asked Yan Guo to resign and return to Chu State.

After the battle of Yan Zhao, the generals of Yan State died in battle, those who surrendered, and the talents withered, and even the generals who led the troops could not be found, and the King of Yan had no choice but to send a messenger to Chu to invite Qu Jing.

At this time, Qu Jing was already in his prime, and he had no pursuit of fame and fortune, but in order to repay King Yan Zhao, he still traveled thousands of miles from Chu to Yan State.

Although the descendants of King Yan Zhao are not things, ungrateful, pro-villain, and far virtuous ministers, but King Yan Zhao is kind to him, and now that Yan is in trouble, how can he refuse.

After Qu Jing arrived in Yan State, he led the Yan army to repel Donghu, and this time as the commander of the Yan army, he attacked Donghu with Li Mu.

At first, Qu Jing was still a little worried about Li Mu, and he had the intention of fighting for power, and after a few times, he completely handed over the command of the army to Li Mu.

Except for being a little young and vigorous, Li Mu has completely surpassed him in other places. As for being young and vigorous, this has never been a problem, if young people are not vigorous, young people are old and old.

However, after seeing the Donghu coalition army, Qu Jing couldn't help but be a little worried, the dense army in front of him could not be seen at a glance, at least three or four hundred thousand.

And they had a total army of only 120,000 men.

Among them, the elite Zhao army is 50,000, the Rong Di servant army is 50,000, and the Yan army is 20,000.

With an army of 120,000 to fight an army of 300,000 or 400,000, even if the average strength of Donghu is relatively stretched, most of the soldiers are not armoured, it is still very difficult.

In fact, this time, the Yan State sent a total of 50,000 troops, but they were all infantry, and there was no cavalry.

That's right, Yan Kingdom, as one of the only three horse-producing areas in the Seven Kingdoms, has no cavalry.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that the strength doesn't allow it.

Yan originally had no cavalry, and it was not until after the Five Kingdoms attacked Zhao that they wanted to form cavalry.

However, in the last year's war, the Yan State lost 250,000 young men and all the land south of Yishui, including Wuyang City, which was the lower capital.

After that, it was blocked by the economy of Zhao, and all goods could not be transported to the Central Plains, so they could only be sold to Zhao at a low price.

In addition, the Zhao State harvested every summer and autumn, and would also transport grain to the captives' families, which greatly reduced the image of the Yan State in the hearts of the people, and it was a heavy blow to the credibility of the Yan State government.

Huangshi Gong also dumped grain at a low price and bought copper and iron at a high price. The grain production of Yan was originally low, and the people saw that farming was unprofitable, so they turned to smelt iron and copper, making a large amount of land barren.

But on the other hand, many people do not have enough to eat, and the contradictions continue to intensify.

Yan Country was originally a bitter cold land, the land was vast and sparsely populated, it took several years to start a war, and now it has suffered blows one after another, and the deficit of the previous war has not been filled, and the treasury can't even squeeze out a little money, how can it be possible to form a cavalry.

If it weren't for the fact that Donghu was too much of a threat to Yan State, it would be impossible for Yan State to send troops this time, although no matter what the outcome of this battle would be beneficial to Yan State, but Yan State had no money.

The 20,000 cavalry were originally selected by Li Mu to be able to ride horses, and after assembling the saddle stirrups, they were trained urgently, and their strength was comparable to that of Rong Di's servant army.

After returning home after this battle, eighty percent will be disbanded by the Yan State, and it will be levied when needed.

"No matter how many people there are, it is Rong Di, as long as it is Rong Di, it will not be able to turn the sky." Li Mu said sharply, his gaze passed through the battlefield and fell on the face of King Donghu.

As if sensing it, King Donghu raised his head to look at Li Mu, and suddenly felt a lightning bolt passing through the space, and his piercing eyes hurt, and when his eyes opened again, the pain disappeared again, and it seemed that it was just an illusion.

"Okay, since General Li Mu has such courage, then the old man will give up his life to accompany the general." Qu Jing looked at Li Mu, as if he saw Qin Kai back then, with the same high spirits, and the same as nothing, but Li Mu was younger than when Qin Kaibei was two thousand miles away.

"If you can meet this young man, I must be very pleased, and I can be regarded as a successor." Qu Jing thought in his heart.

"There are many Donghu people, if we fight normally, even if our army can win, there will be heavy casualties, I think we should capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as we capture the king of Donghu, this battle will be over." Li Si said with his fists clenched.

"I have tried this method in Yan Kingdom, but the strength of the Eastern Jackal Cavalry around King Donghu is very strong, even the most elite legion of my Yan Kingdom is not an opponent." Qu Jing shook his head.

When the Liaodong soldiers were there, in addition to not being able to catch up with these cavalry, they could be hung up and beaten when they encountered it head-on, and the Liaodong soldiers had a strong recovery ability and the power of the military soul, and Donghu's use of crowd tactics was useless, and they would only be killed by the Liaodong soldiers until they collapsed.
