The departure of Zhao Cong's heavy armor corps had a great impact on Li Mu, Li Mu only had 70,000 available troops left, and he wanted to besiege 40,000 Qin troops, and the ratio of troops was still one to two, but the fortified fortifications of the Qin army's camp were extremely strong, and Li Mu's battle was not easy to fight.

But fortunately, the Qin army also did not know the reality of the Zhao army, Li Mu handed over the task of besieging Wang Ben to Sima Shang, and he led 30,000 Zhao troops to besiege Wang Qian's 30,000 army, which means that Sima Shang can still besiege Wang Ben's large camp with a force of four to one.

Although it was no longer possible to attack in batches day and night as previously planned, Zhao Jun had already experienced training for the first time in these days, and he was no longer so unfamiliar with the battle of fortifications, and the fire oil sent from the rear had finally arrived.

No matter how strong the fortifications were, they were built of wood as the main material, and a jar of oil was enough to burn a small piece of horses and fences.

Of course, the most crucial point is that there are not many arrows left under Wang Ben's command.

Although the lethality of the Hundred Battles God Crossbow is amazing, the number of special soul-chasing arrows is not much, and as for the ordinary Hundred Battles Crossbow, the loading speed is fast, which has caused great damage to Zhao Jun.

Huge damage, the number of arrows consumed is naturally extremely terrible, the consumption is huge, once ridiculed by the hundred battle armor-piercing soldiers as the "master book scolding the mother's crossbow", they have heard more than once that the marching master book because of the hundred battles armor-piercing soldiers arrow consumption and scolded the mother.

Originally, the Qin State had the strength of the whole country to ensure the logistics of the 400,000 troops on the front line, and Lü Buwei, Kui Zhuang and others made every effort to deploy materials, and there were also flying vehicles such as Vermilion Bird and Bat Wing that could provide additional transportation, so it was impossible to lack arrows.

However, when Wang Ben was surrounded, the auxiliaries who were transporting supplies could not send supplies into Wang Ben's army at all, and even the Vermilion Bird and Bat Wing were difficult to transport from the air.

The higher the place, the more difficult it is to grasp the location of the materials, and perhaps an ordinary gust of wind can cause a huge deviation between the intended place and the actual location of the materials, or let the materials fall into the hands of the enemy, or hit your own soldiers.

Therefore, in the past, the Qin army often set up a place outside the camp to put supplies for the Vermilion Bird and Bat Wing, and then transported back to the camp by chariots and horses.

In today's situation, it is obviously impossible to meet this condition.

Unless the Vermilion Bird and Bat Wing are transported at a lower altitude, reducing the altitude means being exposed to Zhao Jun's arrows.

Even if Zhao Jun is a new pawn, if he still can't shoot at such a big target, it is better to wipe his neck and kill himself.

The archers in the army were not new pawns, these archers were either from Orion or from well-to-do Zhao people, and the latter was called a good family in later generations.

These well-to-do children not only had a strong body, but also had leisure to practice martial arts and archery, and many of them even hired sharpshooters in the army to teach archery.

Therefore, these days, only sporadic material supplies can be put into the Qin army camp from the air and dangerously, but fortunately, the most important thing in Wang Ben's camp is grain and grass, otherwise the situation is even more critical.

Outside Wang Qian's camp, although there were not many corpses of the Qin and Zhao armies on the ground, everyone could smell the murderous aura in the air.

After a battle, the two armies each withdrew their troops and sent hundreds of men to each other to collect the corpses of their own soldiers.

Wang Jian and Li Mu looked at each other across the camp, looked at the sturdy figure, and sighed for a long time: "Li Mu is this person...... In terms of the battle of the small corps, the old man is not his opponent. ”

Although Wang Jian has always shown humility, as a famous general, he has his own arrogance, and no famous general is willing to admit that he is inferior to another famous general, especially when it comes to Wang Jian who is recognized as the world's top level of famous generals.

Moreover, a temporary victory or defeat really can't explain anything, and the equipment of the two armies, the quality of the soldiers and even the climate are all factors that affect success or failure, which does give the famous generals a reason not to admit defeat.

But when a famous general publicly admits that he is inferior to another famous general, it means that he is truly convinced, just like when the world's soldiers were arrogant, they had to admit that their skills were inferior to others in front of Wu Anjun Baiqi.

And in addition to Bai Qi, the god of war who seems to have fallen from the sky, the famous generals at the level of Wang Jian and Li Mu no longer have any absolute strength or weakness, but they have their own strengths.

Li Mu's computing power is faster than Wang Qian's, so when commanding a small corps to fight, Li Mu's command speed and efficiency are higher than Wang Qian's.

But Wang Qian's mental strength is better than Li Mu's, he can calculate more, and maintain this state for a long time.

For example, 502, who was commanded in Huaihai in later generations, suffered from Meniere's syndrome, which afflicted him throughout the second half of his life, because he did not rest for seven consecutive days and nights and maintained a high level of mental tension at all times.

Li Mu and Wang Jian had their own strengths, so that Li Mu had the upper hand for a while, and successfully besieged Wang Qian's army of 30,000 with 30,000 people.

However, it is not only the gap between the two sides in the command ability of the small corps formation, but also because Wang Jian has built too many fortifications.

The solid defensive facilities of the Qin army's camp are certainly strong, but just like the Bashu sky, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also difficult to go out of the camp to counterattack.

The rejecting horses, wooden fences, ravines, and ramparts not only limited the invasion of the Zhao army, but also limited the counterattack of the Qin army, so Li Muneng relied on a one-to-one ratio of troops to trap Wang Qian's army.

And just when the two sides were in full swing, bad news came into the camps of the Qin and Zhao armies almost at the same time.

"Qin General Wang Qi pulled out my Zhongmu, Ye, Pingyang, and Wucheng, killed the generals, beheaded 40,000, captured 60,000, and opened the door of my southern line, and quickly returned to aid Danhan!"

After Li Mu saw this battle report, he immediately suspected the identity of the herald, even if he answered all Li Mu's questions fluently and confirmed his identity repeatedly, Li Mu still suspected that he was an intermediary placed in the Zhao army.

It's really not that Li Mu is suspicious, but that Li Mu can't accept such a result.

Li Mu looked at this battle report, and after the defeat of Hu Mu and asked Li Mu to return to the aid of Danhan, he also attached the general process of Hu Yu's defeat, and then Li Mu understood.

He had already understood the reason for the defeat.

Hu Yu was a general of Zhao State and had rich experience in fighting with Qin State, so he was relieved to hand over the southern front to Hu Yu to defend, but he didn't expect Hu Yu to make a big mistake.

Hu Xuan's experience in fighting with the Qin army was too sufficient, enough that he had completely relied on experience to face the Qin army.

The Qin state is good at battle, and the Qin army's solid formation, high military spirit and military law's requirements for unity and combat are the reasons why the Qin army is good at fighting in formation.

However, the Qin army is good at battle in formation, and has only played the advantage in battle in front of Hu Xuan, which does not mean that the Qin army is only good at battle in battle.

At that time, Bai Qi had shown the Qin army's interspersed and execution of the tactics of division and encirclement in the Battle of Huayang and Changping, but Hu Qi completely copied the experience gained from the past battles with Wang Qi to analyze Wang Qi, completely forgetting that Wang Qi was the premier first lieutenant general around Bai Qi back then.

But although he had finished reading the battle report, Li Mu re-read it several times as if he didn't believe in evil, and there was no sound in the tent, and the herald didn't dare to squeak at all, just half-kneeling and waiting for Li Mu to give a reply.

After a long time, Li Mu closed his eyes, put the battle report on the table, and sighed.

"Hu Xuan, you mistook me Zhao Guo!"
