Chapter 380: A Chance to Survive
"No." Sima Shang didn't say anything, just hugged his fists and saluted.
"General Yan Ju, I will tear apart the defensive formation of the Donghu army later, and then the Great Wall guards will block the Donghu cavalry, and the rest will be handed over to you." Li Mu looked at Yan Ju and said solemnly.
If you just want to defeat the Donghu army, you don't need to take such a risk. But for Li Mu, not being able to capture the king of Donghu alive and getting the carrier of the inheritance of Donghu's faith is to lose.
"The last general will definitely capture the king of Donghu alive." Yan Ju shook the scimitar in his hand and said firmly.
"Okay, order the flanks, and attack." Li Mu ordered.
As soon as the words fell, two heralds rushed out with the command flag behind them, one left and one right, and at the same time, the war drums thundered and sounded.
The war clouds in the sky quickly rolled up, thicker and thicker, and after accumulating to the extreme, they crushed towards the Donghu army like a river and a sea.
A huge crescent moon rises above the sky, robbing the sun of its brilliance and obscuring almost the entire sky.
On the frontal battlefield, Zhao Hao's Glaive Array was more useful than other battle formations, and it was more general, so it could be used at any time.
Zhao Kuo did not hide his secrets, put it in the academy, and all the generals of Zhao Guo could learn it.
At the same time, Li Mu's talent also fell into the Donghu army - balance.
An inexplicable force swept across the battlefield, and there seemed to be a strong wind blowing in Yan Zhao's army, all the soldiers' robes were puffed up high, their battle armor was clanging, and their breath grew rapidly, and even the momentum began to climb steadily.
On the other hand, the Donghu army, its breath suddenly fell, and it was counterpressed by the Zhao Yan coalition army.
"This force!" Qu Jing glanced at Li Mu in surprise, whenever he thought he knew Li Mu well enough, Li Mu could always surprise him again.
He had never seen anyone with such strength at this age.
"Fortunately, it is an ally, not an enemy, as for the future...... Let's talk about it later. Qu Jing sighed, to be honest, he really didn't want to wade into the troubled waters of Yan Kingdom.
As long as you are not blind, you can see that Zhao Guozhi is in Yan Kingdom, but Yan Kingdom has no way.
Now the entire Yan Kingdom has almost been infiltrated by the Zhao State, and the situation is only better than that of King Yan Zhao back then. However, today's King Yan is not King Yan Zhao, and he is not Le Yi and others.
"General Zhao!" King Donghu stood up reluctantly, and subconsciously grasped the halberd with both hands.
Donghu didn't know much about Zhao, only that Zhao destroyed the Xiongnu and defeated Yan. It is a country south of the Yan Kingdom, which is more powerful than the Yan Kingdom, but Donghu is not much afraid.
Because Donghu was more powerful than the Xiongnu, and it was also stronger than Yan back then, most of Yan used to belong to Donghu's territory, and Yan even had to send hostages to Donghu before.
In the past, Donghu had never taken Yan Guo in his eyes, and for Donghu, Yan was only a small country in the south, surrounded by Rong Di on all sides.
It wasn't until the man named Qin Kai appeared that everything changed.
At first, Qin Kai went to Donghu on behalf of Yan Guo as a hostage, pretending to submit to Donghu, but secretly collected information about Donghu and observed the terrain of Donghu.
Donghu didn't have any defenses against this, he just thought that Qin Kai liked to climb mountains, write and paint, after all, he was from the Central Plains, he liked literature and art, and it was normal to be a little hypocritical.
In addition, Qin Kai can speak well, is generous, and often gives his cattle and sheep to others, and the Donghu people like him very much, let alone pay attention to these things.
Qin Kai felt that all the information had been gathered, so he secretly fled back to Yan Kingdom and reported to King Yan Zhao. King Yan Zhao understood that the opportunity must not be lost and never come again, so he sent troops to Qin Kai very decisively.
】
By the time Donghu reacted, it was too late, and he had already lost all the land south of Yanshan, including thousands of miles of land in eastern Liaodong and western Liaoxi.
Since then, Donghu has begun to be pressed and beaten by the Yan State, and every spring and autumn, Qin Kai has to lead the Yan army north to threw grass. Qin Kai is even more familiar with the terrain of Donghu than Donghu himself, no matter where Donghu is hiding, Qin Kai can find it accurately.
After so many years of plundering in the south, it was the first time that Donghu was plundered by people in the north, and it was the most difficult time in Donghu's history.
It wasn't until after the death of King Yan Zhao that Qin Kai was also snubbed by Yan Guo, and Donghu got a chance to breathe.
"Zhao destroyed the Xiongnu and got the grasslands in the west, and the younger generation has such famous generals, and I am afraid that the grasslands will have no place for me to stand in Donghu in the future." King Donghu felt a great sense of crisis in his heart.
If Zhao Guo is at ease to fight for hegemony in the south, no matter how strong he is, it has nothing to do with him. However, Zhao obviously couldn't help the countries in the south, and chose to expand northward and occupy these grasslands that Zhuxia had not looked down upon before.
"This battle must be won, and only by letting Zhao know the strength of my Donghu can we get the chance to continue to survive in the grassland." King Donghu never thought that he was still pressing Yan Guo to fight in the first half of the year, and he would have to think about survival in the second half of the year.
Countless horses' hooves surged, a huge roar was heard over the ground, and the two armies were not far apart, and it didn't take long for the faces of the other to be seen.
Both sides stretched their bows and arrows at the same time, and the overwhelming rain of arrows covered the front, and these Donghu soldiers, who did not even have leather armor, were constantly hit by arrows and landed, and the horses' hooves stepped on, and they could not get up again.
The spear wielded by Zhao Jun naturally blocked the arrow shot by Donghu and swept it to the ground, except for a very small number of soldiers who were hit by arrows, the vast majority of soldiers did nothing at all.
As for the Rong Di auxiliaries and the Yan army, the casualties were slightly larger, but they were far smaller than those of Donghu, even if they were Rong Di auxiliaries, Zhao Guo also equipped them with leather armor, which was definitely not comparable to these miscellaneous soldiers of Donghu.
Although they are all two shoulders and one head, Zhao Guo's equipment is two grades higher than Donghu, even the most elite army in Donghu, the equipment is only equivalent to the ordinary army of Zhao Jun, and it is a big difference in momentum.
It's not that they can't build it, but it's difficult to mass-produce, at most they can build weapons and armor for the king of Donghu and various tribal leaders, and as for the equipment of the soldiers, they are all secretly bought from the Yan Kingdom or captured on the battlefield.
In the next moment, the vanguard of the two wings and the Donghu army collided together, and the sound like a landslide sounded, and the war horse was raised high, and the rider on his back was knocked out of the air.
"Die!" A sword light several meters long slashed across the sky, and Sima Shang raised and fell with his knife, cracking an unknown small tribe leader in Donghu in half.
Warm blood splattered on his face, the air was filled with a smell of blood, and Sima Shang's eyes bloomed with excitement, and a hideous smile appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, I overestimated Donghu's combat effectiveness, if the talent of the Great Wall Guards is there, let alone more than 300,000, even more than 500,000 Lao Tzu dare to rush." Sima Shang held his big sword high and said loudly to the left and right, "The soldiers are divided into three routes, and they will strangle Donghu and converge one mile ahead." ”
