Chapter 272: Li Mu's Death!

On the road from North Jingcheng Road to South Jingcheng Road, a carriage escorted by 300 Zhao Bian rode in the official road.

One by one, the soldiers riding on the Zhao side, wearing Zhao armor and carrying bows and crossbows, rode horses and marched rapidly on the official road.

The carriage with Zhao Qi was also constantly jolting due to its high speed.

At first glance, I know that the feeling of sitting in the carriage is probably more tiring than riding a horse.

However, just as I passed by a mountain river.

Suddenly, countless men wearing cloth clothes and holding curved bows suddenly appeared on both sides of the valley, and as soon as they appeared, they fired arrows at Zhao Bian under the valley.

Woo Woo ~ !!

Accompanied by the sound of arrows breaking through the air.

In an instant, Zhao Bianqi, who was originally riding a horse, and many Zhao cavalry soldiers were hit by arrows and screamed, and then fell under the horse.

Zhao Bianqi, who reacted, was nervous, and the well-trained ones reined in their horses one after another, and surrounded the carriage, the outermost Zhao Bianqi drew his sword, and the inner Zhao Bianqi took off the bow and crossbow in an instant, and looked at the front vigilantly.

"There is an ambush! Remove!! ”

The general Zhao Biancai, who was the leader, looked at the people on the canyon with frightened eyes.

This general was not afraid of death, the reason why he was frightened was because he had already felt that these people were prepared, and their purpose was Wu Anjun, who was sitting in the carriage.

In Zhao State!

Someone actually dared to kill Wu Anjun!

Who has that guts!

However, when his order was given, the carriage turned around as the arrows continued to fire, and countless men with bows had already poured in on the front and back sides of the mountain and river roads, far more than them.

See this scene.

Zhao Bianqi raised his bow and fired back, accompanied by arrows, shooting many ambushes in an instant.

However, despite his well-trained training, and despite the fact that the lethality caused by the curved bow far exceeded that of those ambush soldiers, when the number was far insufficient and surrounded, it could not be fired for a moment, and Zhao Bianqi was killed and wounded all over the place.

Even the general Zhao Cai, who had just given the order, was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and he staggered for a moment, and he was in severe pain.

"Protect Wu Anjun!"

General Zhao Cai held a sharp sword in his hand, and looked at the black-clothed people in front and behind him with a pale face.

At this moment, including him, there were less than twenty people left around the carriage.

Inside the carriage.

Li Mu closed his eyes and listened to the movement outside, before he sighed and shook his head for a long time.

It's time to come or it's coming!

Li Mu, who knew that he couldn't hide, got up slowly, lifted the curtain, and came outside the carriage.

Li Mu looked around the carriage, there were corpses of Zhao Biancai's soldiers all over the ground, looked at the only remaining Zhao Biancai, and gradually looked at the black-clothed people in the distance.

"Heaven is going to die!"

At this time, Li Mu was still holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

Glancing at the bamboo slips, Li Mu turned his head to look into the distance, there were Yanmen and Daidi.

As an old minister of the three dynasties of the Zhao State, how could Li Mu not know that unlike the sword, the bow and crossbow were forbidden by all vassal states.

And these men in ambush have such a number of bows and crossbows, what does it represent, how could Li Mu not understand.

And this bamboo slip!

Along the way, in the case of a disability in one hand, no matter how fast and bumpy the carriage was, he never let go of Zhu Jian's other hand, and at this moment, Li Mu slowly let go.

Accompanied by bamboo slips falling to the ground.

is just like the memories of his life in Li Mu's mind.

When he was young, he was a general of Zhao, he was a Zhao Xiang, and later a general, and now he is named Wu Anjun.

Rong Ma has never lost Zhao and the people of Zhao in his life.

Whether it was a war with the Xiongnu, a war with Wei, Yan, and Qin, none of the battles allowed Zhao to lose, and he bowed to Zhao State.

"Kill !!"

"Kill!!"

In the canyon, countless screaming sounds sounded.

Li Mu looked at the ambush men who rushed to kill in front of and behind him.

Li Mu understands that he is destined to not be able to leave here alive today, and the disability of his right hand makes it a luxury for him to even kill himself at the moment.

A moment later.

When all the remaining Zhao Bian riders were all killed by those ambushed men, Li Mu stood in front of the carriage, without saying a word, before dying, Li Mu took a last look and looked in the direction of the Bai people.

In the canyon, as everything returned to quiet, the scorching sun shone on the carriage, and Li Mu was full of arrows and slowly fell down on the carriage.

Countless cloth-clothed men surrounded the carriage, standing beside the corpse of Zhao Bian riding all over the ground, looking at Li Mu's corpse.

At this time.

With many cloth-clothed men getting out of the way, a masked man walked over, and only got up when he confirmed that Li Mu's true face was undoubted.

Before leaving, the masked man glanced at the bamboo slip on the ground, and then turned away as if he hadn't seen it.

Seeing this, the other cloth-clothed men turned around and left together.

Thirty miles west of the Zhishui River.

As the Qin army rested in place, countless dense camp tents appeared in an instant in the originally empty place.

Around the camp, rows of patrol soldiers of five or ten people held Changge, constantly walking back and forth.

From a distance, one can't help but marvel at the scale of the camp.

After dark.

A bonfire was lit inside the camp.

Bai Yan held the Qin sword in his hand and waited quietly in the tent.

At this moment, as the supreme commander of the entire Qin army battalion, Bai Yan was at this time, but he was shouldering the most critical battle of the Qin State's attack on Zhao, which was related to success or failure, so he did not dare to relax for a moment.

With a sword in one hand and a kneeling on the other, he sat from sunset until late at night.

Bai Yan has been waiting for news.

"Report! General, the sentinel has guarded the junction along the way, ambushed on the path. ”

"Report! General, the sentinels in the upper reaches of the Zhishui River have sent news that they have found a place to cross the river! ”

"Report! General, dry rations are ready! ”

As the night wore on, the news brought by the soldiers let Bai Yan know that everything was going according to plan.

"General! The Iron Riders are all rested and ready to leave! ”

At this time, an iron cavalry soldier came to the camp tent and reported to Bai Yanyu.

Hear the words.

Bai Yan nodded, knowing the current situation, it was like an arrow on the bow.

"Let's go, let's go to the Iron Riding Camp!"

Bai Yan took the sword, got up and walked towards the outside of the tent, and the iron cavalry soldiers hurriedly followed behind.

It's night at the moment.

All the officers and men in the army had already rested early after learning that there might be a battle on the second day.

In the Iron Cavalry Battalion, 3,000 Iron Cavalry soldiers, under the leadership of Ye, are ready to go.

Seeing Bai Yan arrive.

Ye and others looked over one after another.

"General!"

"General!!"

In the dark night, all the iron cavalry soldiers looked at Bai Yan one after another.

Bai Yan nodded.

"Tomorrow when you go around and pull out the camp, you are waiting for your meritorious service, a box of gold has been prepared, Bai Yan is waiting to celebrate your achievements!"

Bai Yan looked at these iron cavalry soldiers in the night and said with a smile.

Unlike other generals, Bai Yan, who also came up from the meritorious service of the soldiers, knows how to mobilize the emotions of the soldiers at the moment.

"General Xie!"

"General Xie!!"

When Bai Yan's words fell, he heard the excited laughter of the soldiers.

Who in this world doesn't like gold.

More importantly, all the Iron Cavalry soldiers knew that even if they died in battle tomorrow, the generals they were following now would not treat their families badly.

They all followed Bai Yan all the way.

Any other general in the world, they don't dare to say what their heart is, only the general in front of them, they know, is the only one who will never treat them badly.

When he was in Gaonu, the general took out his reward, divided it, and sent it to the counties along with the armor of the fallen soldiers.

Behind these things.

There is one more thing, although the general did not say it, but they all know it.

"General, General Wang Ben has replaced all those soldiers who are standing guard and patrolling with our iron cavalry soldiers!"

Chai came over from a distance at this time and said to Bai Yan.

With the assistance of General Wang Ben, Chai had already sent the iron cavalry soldiers to transfer all the soldiers standing guard and patrolling in the camp to the other side under the pretext of spreading rumors and needing to be investigated.

Now that the iron cavalry soldiers have quietly left the camp, everything is unnoticed, and even Zhao Jun's spies will not notice it.

"Good!"

Bai Yan heard Chai's words, nodded, and then looked at Ye.

"Zhao Ying will be pulled out tomorrow!"

Bai Yan said to the industry.

As one of Bai Yan's cronies, as long as he makes a meritorious contribution this time, it will be a great achievement, and Ye is also involved in going to Handan to divide the world, and when Zhao is destroyed one day, Ye will be able to take charge of it alone.

In the future, if the iron cavalry expands, Bai Yan does not like to transfer people from the big camps in other counties, especially those children of the scholar clan.

Bai Yan hopes that these soldiers who were born and died with him will be promoted step by step and take charge of themselves.

"No!"

Ye raised his hand to Bai Yan and saluted, and then looked at Bai Yan: "General rest assured, even if Ye dies on the battlefield tomorrow, he will let the soldiers pull out the Zhao camp and break through the Zhao army's formation!" ”

Karma is not a fool, how can he not feel how the general treats him.

When he received the order, Ye was ready, and this time either Zhao Yingpo or he died in front of Zhao Ren, without the slightest intention of retreating.

"I want you to break the Zhao camp alive! Let's go! ”

Bai Yan looked at Ye and said softly.

"No!"

Ye bowed his hand again, looked at Bai Yan, and then turned around and led the three thousand iron cavalry soldiers to lead the war horse towards the outside of the camp.

Bai Yan, Chai and the others stood in place, watching the figures of three thousand iron horsemen leave the camp in an endless stream under the bright moon.

Not for a while.

When the figures and the faint sounds disappeared into the distant night.

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at a soldier.

"Go and tell General Wang Ben that the person has been found, and there is no need to interrogate again!"

Bai Yan commanded.

The Iron Cavalry took the order and turned to leave.

"Let's all go down and rest, we will go to the battlefield tomorrow and fight with the Zhao army!"

Bai Yan looked at Chai and the others.

"No!!"

Chai and the other generals took the order.

A moment later.

When Bai Yan returned to the commander's tent again, the entire camp had been restored to its original state, including those Qin soldiers who were standing guard and on duty, most of them didn't know that just now, three thousand iron cavalry soldiers had already taken advantage of the night to leave the camp.

Day 2.

With a hint of hazy brightness in the sky, the night has not yet completely receded.

Outside the Qin army camp, a man hurriedly rode to the gate of the camp, and when he was stopped by the Qin guards standing guard, the man took out Bai Yan's token from his arms.

Seeing the token, Qin Pawn naturally wouldn't block the way anymore.

Soon the man came to Bai Yan's tent, and after the report, he saw Bai Yan.

"General, this is news from Jing Chen!"

The man said, and handed the two bamboo sticks to Bai Yan.

After Bai Yan took it, he looked at the content written on the two bamboo sticks.

"Li Mu is dead! Died on the way to the north road, rumors spread among the Zhao army, saying that Zhao Cong and King Zhao conspired to kill Li Mu! ”

After reading the two bamboo slips, Bai Yan's eyes were full of complexity.

Li Mu is really dead!!

For Li Mu, Bai Yan was both admiration and horror in his heart, and more helpless.

If it weren't for Li Mu's reluctance to surrender to Qin, if it weren't for Li Mu's strategy of leading the troops to be really scary, who would want to kill such a general.

Put aside the war with Qin Weiyan.

Li Mu destroyed 100,000 Xiongnu, destroyed the chānlÑn, defeated Donghu, and surrendered Linhu.

These not only protected the Zhao State, but also for the people of the entire Central Plains, Li Mu's actions did not protect the people of the entire Central Plains.

Before Li Mu.

The nomadic tribes of the Xiongnu and Linhu, starting from hundreds of years ago, did not often go south to raid.

"General Li Mu, the Central Plains needs to be unified, and the world also needs to be integrated!"

Bai Yan thought in his heart and put the bamboo slip on the wooden table.

Nowadays, the whole world, what is most needed is the same track and the same book as soon as possible, in such a situation, Li Mu cannot be stopped, and he has no ability to capture Li Mu alive.

Indeed, there is only one way to kill it.

Come to think of it.

Bai Yan felt better in his heart, after all, for a famous general like Li Mu who resisted foreign clans, Bai Yan respected and admired him from the bottom of his heart.

"Someone! Upon my command, the army assembles immediately after breakfast! ”

Bai Yan got up and ordered outside the tent.

Li Mu was killed, and now rumors are spreading in the Zhao army, and Zhao Cong is forcibly stabilizing the army's heart, and it is also stable for a while.

If the Zhao army does not retreat at this moment, after he leads the Qin army across the river.

The Zhao army will be defeated!

"You go down and rest first! There will be a reward for you later! ”

Bai Yan turned his head to look at the man who delivered the letter.

"No! Thank you, General! ”

When the man heard Bai Yan's words, his originally tired face disappeared instantly, and he excitedly bowed his hand to Bai Yan, and then turned to leave.

Half an hour later.

In the camp of the Qin State, the soldiers who received the order hurriedly ate something, and then gathered together with Changge.

"Do you really want to fight?"

"Looks like it! General Bai Yan seems to be really planning a decisive battle with the Zhao army! ”

"Do you really want to cross the river to fight the Zhao army?"

Before the other generals came, countless soldiers gathered together and began to talk to each other.

Soon, there was more to it than that.

The generals who gathered in the distance also looked at each other with worried faces at this moment, and discussed in a low voice.

"It's a dead place on the other side of the river!"

"That's it! Doctor Guan, you were picked up by General Feng Zao, General Feng Zao admires you very much, or you should persuade you! ”

"Don't look at me, I mentioned it once, but General Feng Zao said that you can just listen to General Bai's orders!"

The generals dressed in Qin armor and wearing Qin swords gathered together with each other, thinking about what to do now.

These Qin generals had seen the terrain on the other side of the Zhishui River, and knew that if they crossed the river and fought, they would be in a very dangerous situation.

They were all a little worried.

This time, he crossed the river with General Nabai, and it was likely that he would die on the other side of the river.

"Don't say it, the general is here!"

Suddenly, a voice came, and all the generals of the Qin army turned their heads to look, and saw General Bai Yan and General Wang Ben and Feng Zao in the distance, riding war horses.

And at this moment, with the sound of iron hooves in the sky, everyone saw that in the iron cavalry camp in the distance, the iron cavalry army swarmed out, and all left the camp and rushed towards the direction of Jingcheng.

I'm too dizzy, sorry, a change. It took seven hours to write a change.
