Chapter 99: My cavalry is called Iron Eagle Sharps
Bai Zhong smashed into the enemy's cavalry, and drew his sword to kill indiscriminately.
The short soldiers who followed them also killed the enemy indiscriminately, and every time their swords were swung, basically one enemy fell.
Others, such as Meng Tian and others, although they did not have the influence of war will, but they had saddle stirrups and sharper and easier horizontal knives, although there were less than 5,000 people, they could completely suppress the remaining 8,000 cavalry of the Zhao army in terms of momentum.
"When did the cavalry of the Qin State become so strong!"
Those Zhao cavalry were a little flustered, in their cognition, the cavalry of Zhao was the strongest, how could they be pressed by the cavalry of Qin to fight.
Before they could react, the formation had been killed by the cavalry of the Qin State, and they could only resist with difficulty.
Li Mu looked over from a distance, and when he saw Bai Zhong, his eyes narrowed.
"And he did."
Li Mu couldn't have imagined that he hadn't seen an ordinary hundred generals for more than a year, and he had formed a team of cavalry that could completely crush him.
Although there are only 5,000 people, their combat power can be compared to 10,000 people.
Those Qin cavalry would also ride and shoot, and they caught the Zhao army off guard, and they didn't expect it to be like this at all.
The threat and pressure that Li Mu felt was even greater, this person was definitely the biggest enemy of their Zhao State.
Seeing that his cavalry had been killed and the infantry who had entered the mountain, the odds of victory should not be too great, Li Mu decisively ordered: "Retreat!" ”
Woooooo
The horn of the retreat of the Zhao army was constantly sounded.
When Bai Zhong heard this voice, he ordered: "Meng Tian, Wang Li, you bring people back to help Li Xin and deal with the infantry who are going to retreat, and the others will continue to chase and kill with me!" ”
"Kill!"
The cavalry of the Iron Eagle Warriors quickly divided into two groups.
Meng Tian and Wang left the two and went back.
Bai Zhong saw that the cavalry of Zhao State was retreating, and after killing the people who had broken off, he rode his horse to chase after him.
"Ride and shoot!"
Hearing this order, the sharps in the front row put away their horizontal knives and quickly took out their bows and crossbows.
Sou......
The sound of breaking the sky sounded, and a large number of crossbow arrows swept by, constantly shooting the retreating knights of Zhao under their horses.
was about to catch up in front of Li Mu before the sharps stopped.
At this time, the infantry of the Zhao State who attacked the mountain pass also fled in a panic and kept scattering and fleeing.
"Kill!"
Bai Zhong glanced back, quickly changed direction and killed back, cooperating with Li Xin and them, rushing over to intercept and kill the infantry of the Zhao army, killing as many as he could.
Li Mu's face was gloomy.
The cavalry level of these Qin cavalry is not worse than their own, and they are even stronger.
How was this Qin general trained?
He fought with the Huns for so many years, but he couldn't train such cavalry.
In the end, of the 50,000 people sent out by Li Mu, only more than 20,000 could come back.
Of the 10,000 cavalry, less than 5,000 were able to go back in the end.
As the retreating Zhao army converged on Li Mu's side, the first battle between the two sides came to an end.
Bai Zhong rode forward, holding the horizontal knife in his hand, blood and water continued to drip down the blade, and his body and horse were also covered with blood, and said with a smile: "General Li, long time no see!" ”
His face was covered in blood, and he laughed at this time, and his smile was terrible.
"Long time no see!"
Li Mu responded lightly.
"I didn't expect General Li to recognize me."
Bai Zhong said again: "You surrender, Zhao Wangqian is mediocre and incompetent, and Zhao State can't hold it." ”
Li Mu responded casually: "It's better for you to surrender, it won't be good for you to stay in the Qin State, but do you remember Wu Anjun Baiqi?" ”
Bai Zhong laughed: "I won't become Wu Anjun, but the Zhao Kingdom will be defeated, so why should you resist?" ”
Li Mu pondered for a while and asked, "What do you call it?" ”
"Bai Zhong, and Wu Anjun are from the same place."
Bai Zhong reported his name and said, "My cavalry is called the Iron Eagle Ruishi, General Li should have heard of it, right?" ”
Li Mu's face changed, and then he admired: "I didn't expect the Iron Eagle Ruishi to be reactivated by you, it only took more than a year to have today's effect." ”
"Today I missed your cavalry, see you next time on the battlefield, you won't be so lucky."
He waved his hand.
Zhao Jun all retreated.
Behind is Jing Cheng, and as soon as Li Mu retreated, he returned to the fortified fortress under the city.
Bai Zhong did not give the order to chase, and when he came to the vicinity of the fortification, the cavalry could not be used, and the number of infantry was not enough, so it was difficult to attack the fortification, so he could only watch Li Mu leave, and then said: "Go back to the mountain pass and set up camp, and wait for the general to arrive." ”
——
Li Mu returned to Jingcheng.
Seeing the casualties of his subordinates, he frowned, Wang Jian had not yet arrived, and the battle situation was already so miserable.
But Li Mu felt that Bai Zhong was more terrifying than Wang Qian.
"Next, hold the fortress and not be allowed to fight without my orders."
Li Mu said loudly.
He can only hold on, and he can't confront the Qin army.
The strength of the Zhao army did not allow them to touch hard, especially now that they were starving, and their combat strength was not as good as before.
Li Mu asked again: "How long will it take for the grain to be delivered?" ”
"It'll be there tomorrow afternoon."
The adjutant general next to him said.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and when the food arrived, he could hold on, and said: "There is no need to save tonight, the whole army will have a full meal, and the whole army will be on alert." ”
——
"General, the Iron Eagle Ruimen lost eighty-nine people and seriously wounded three hundred and twenty-seven people, of which forty-one people could no longer go to the battlefield, and one thousand three hundred and eleven people were slightly wounded."
Geng Wu quickly counted the casualties, and said: "On the infantry side, more than 4,000 people were killed, and the others were injured to varying degrees. ”
Li Mu's cavalry is really powerful.
The Iron Eagle Warriors, who had never been killed in battle, finally died more than 80 people, and more than 40 people could no longer go to the battlefield, so they lost more than 100 people.
You must know that every Ruishi can only be obtained after strict drawing and training, and it is not easy to go back and replenish it, so you can only find some people from the three thousand people eliminated to replenish the number.
Bai Zhong listened to Geng Wu's report and said: "The injured will be brought down for treatment immediately, the seriously injured do not need to go to the battlefield again, remember the names of the dead, after this battle, my reward will be divided into a point for the families of the fallen and those who can no longer go to the battlefield." ”
Geng Wu suddenly choked up and said, "General......"
Bai Zhong interrupted: "It's also my fault that I couldn't bring you back completely, so let's decide!" ”
After finishing speaking, he went to meet with Li Xin and then arranged the distribution of battle merits.
Because many of the cavalry of the Zhao State were stabbed to death by Changge and shot to death by arrows, or cut down by the rush of the sharp soldiers, it was too late to collect the ears as a battle merit, and they needed to be reasonably distributed so as not to make the soldiers in the army feel cold.
After all this was done, it was already night.
Wang Jian and his troops finally followed.
"General Bai, how's it going?"
Wang Jian asked.
Bai Zhong reported the results of the battle, and said: "Li Mu returned to Jingcheng and won the first battle. ”
Wang Jian nodded and said, "General Bai is doing well, but I think this well is not easy to fight!" ”
Taking advantage of the last rays of the sun before the sun went down, they looked at the Jingcheng city wall in front of them, and saw that more than ten fortifications had been built under the city, and there must have been various defensive measures on top of the city tower.
The city guarded by Li Mu himself is indeed not easy to attack.
