Chapter 329: Losing both
Meng Fu and the others just waited to swing their swords to block, but the arrows rained down, and in just one round of arrow rain, most of the 5,000 people of Meng Fu's forward army were killed or wounded!
Meng Fu was also hit by an arrow, and he was hit by an arrow in his right shoulder, so he had to hand over the sword to his left hand, and while blocking the rain of arrows, he shouted: "Retreat, hurry, retreat, hurry!"
After all, the Qin army was well-trained, and it was back in battle state in an instant, and the shield soldiers had formed a ring, covering the retreat of the Zhige soldiers!
Zhao Mu sneered, and after another rain of arrows from the Zhao army, he personally led an army of 100,000 to rush out and surround the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Meng Fu, wanting to take the lead in annihilating these 30,000 soldiers and horses, and then wait for the opportunity to attack Meng Tian and expand the results!
However, things were beyond his expectations, although the Meng family army was surrounded, they fought desperately one by one, one by one like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, constantly attacking the surrounding Zhao army, and it seemed that they were about to break out of his encirclement!
Li Mu sighed: "This Qin man is really fierce and abnormal, he dares to charge when he is surrounded and killed by us! Zhao Lin, you lead the right army to plug the gap, and I will personally attack Meng Fu, we must eat the Meng family army this time, and give the Qin people a lesson that they can't forget!"
After saying that, he wanted to charge!
Zhao Lin stopped him: "General, you are still in command here, I can't do it, I will lead the army to assault the Mengjia army!" Then, he led the right army to immediately rush to kill.
"Alas, this kid is not bad, haha, Li Qing, you are also ready, intercept Meng Tian, haha! This time he is surrounded by us, this kid will definitely be unable to hold his breath, and he will definitely come to the rescue! Previously, they occupied a favorable position, and we attacked it unfavorably, but this time, we are mainly anti-guest, and we will attack it with strong soldiers, and it will have miraculous results, and the so-called Mengjia army is dead!" Li Mu has his eyes lit up, and his spirit is greatly lifted.
Finally caught the fighter, such an opportunity, how could you miss it?
As long as the Mengjia army is annihilated, the military spirit of the Qin State will inevitably be shaken, and the future battle will be easy to fight, haha!
When Li Qing heard this, he first nodded, and then said with a smile: "The general has no last resort, but what if Wang Qian's army comes? Also, what if the army of Han Xinglie and Yinglong from Weihe comes? If they give us a counter-encirclement, will we have to fall into the trap of the Qin people?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then calmed down, and sighed: "It seems that I am wishful thinking, then, we will annihilate the 30,000 Mengjia troops in front of us, if they all come, we will retreat and fight slowly! Haha, your kid has grown up, much better than I imagined, I'm a little anxious, haha!"
"Isn't the general a little in a trance? Otherwise, how could he not consider the two-way army of Wang Yi and Han Xinglie? Could it be that there is another change in it?" Li Qing asked suspiciously.
Li Mu sighed and said with a wry smile: "I was stunned by the popularity of the people who lived freely, alas, they said that Meng Tian and Wang Yi are peerless generals, but my Zhao State has no successors, and there are really few generals who can command the army! Alas, is this the so-called Mandate of Heaven?"
He unconsciously said the depression in his heart, his face was a little better, and his emotions gradually calmed down!
After thinking for a while, he sighed: "Let's take a look first! Well, let Li Xin go and call the 80,000 soldiers and horses in Waiwu Township, and let them come over to join the battle at any time, hopefully, we will have time! This is a battle to the death, our two sides are about the same strength, and the best result is that we will eat the 30,000 Mengjia troops." ”
At this time, he was a little unconfident: Zhao's military strength was stronger than that of the Qin army, and it was still slightly inferior, but the cavalry was slightly better, after all, Zhao had attached importance to cavalry combat since the beginning of King Wuling of Zhao, and Qin's chariot was still its main army!
However, I heard that the Qin State has recently established a tiger army, the number is not large, only more than 10,000, all of them are elite cavalry, and their combat power should be above the Zhao State, will they participate in the war?
Also, if the Qin army's war situation is unfavorable, will the people who live at ease interfere in their war?
His heart felt a little sinking to the bottom of the sea, an ominous feeling surged into his heart, and his heart was a little restless, and after thinking about it again, he summoned Zhao Cheng again and started a new deployment!
This time, his strategy was actually prepared for retreating to Zhao State, and it seemed that he wanted to withdraw again!
"Ah, general, do you mean that after eating these 30,000 horses, we will withdraw our troops? However, this battle has just begun, so wouldn't it hurt the momentum of our Zhao army?" Zhao Cheng was a little unhappy.
Li Mu was even more unhappy, rolled his eyes, and said sharply: "This is a war, the most cruel war, and it is already very good that we can get this little cheap! If we can get out of this battle smoothly, it will be our great luck! Otherwise, if the Qin army turns against us, including us, then, our 280,000 people will be in danger! If we are defeated, then the Zhao State will be finished, understand? Execute the order, go and pass the order, otherwise, one word: behead!"
"No!" Zhao Cheng was shocked, and immediately ran out, and hurriedly let the herald go.
But his worries were not superfluous, not long after Zhao Cheng's herald arrived, the soldiers of Dingxiang came to deliver a message: "General, Wang Jian took 30,000 soldiers and horses out of the city and came to Xiling!"
"General, the 100,000 Qin troops in the south have come to Xiling!"
"General, Meng Tian led an army of 50,000 out of the camp and killed us!"
The messengers passed on the dynamics of the Qin army one by one!
"Ah!" Li Mu, who had always been as calm as ice, actually shouted loudly, and then exclaimed: "I didn't expect them to come so quickly! Hurry, hurry, hurry, tell Zhao Lin that we can annihilate as many people as we can, and after half an hour, we will withdraw from the battlefield! Otherwise, we will be in danger!"
How did he know that the most thrilling news came to him again: "Report to the general, Qin General Yinglong led 20,000 soldiers and horses, and with the coordination of Qin General Yingbao's 30,000 soldiers and horses, they opened the gap and rescued 15,000 Meng's soldiers! In this battle, we have killed 15,000 Meng's army!"
"Ah!" Li Mu was first surprised, then happy, and then looked contemplative: This Qin army came too fast, it seems that he is still too light on the enemy, thinking that he can easily defeat these boys, but he didn't expect that they are all human spirits! Strange, what's the problem? Is there a problem with intelligence?
It seems that the Qin people are really cunning, and among the 100,000 Qin soldiers in the Wei River, there must be the Tiger Ben Army newly trained by Yingzheng, and they are the elite of the Qin army!
Who could it be in command? Could it be Han Xingyeol, the Korean prince?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt cold all over his body, and his back was a little numb: if this is the case, this time, if he wants to defeat the Qin army, he will definitely not be able to, even if he wants to retreat with his whole body, I am afraid that it will not be easy!
Fortunately, there are still 30,000 fine horses in his hand that have not moved, 30,000 to fight 10,000, there should be a chance of winning, this is his most powerful hole card!
However, according to the current dispatch of the Qin army, the Qin army has reached 200,000 people, and their own side is still scattering their forces, it seems that Dingxiang and Wuxiang cannot be surrounded, and they must concentrate their forces, so it is better to retreat to Juyuan first!
He immediately ordered the herald to give the order.
Under the response of Yinglong and Yingbao, Meng Fu finally stood out of the encirclement, but his face was full of shame, his face was blue, and the whole person was already trembling, as if his soul had not returned.
Just now, he thought that he was in a catastrophe this time, and he would definitely die under the ten thousand arrows of Zhao Jun in the future, and even be dismembered by them!
However, he didn't expect that it was these boys who he almost completely looked down on to rescue him from the siege of Zhao Jun, strange, how did they do it?
When he was thinking wildly, Han Xinglie had already arrived in front of him: "General Meng, you are the commander, our three armies have already engaged the Zhao army, how to fight, it is still under the command of the old general!"
"Ahh
As a last resort, he had to sigh: "Thank you Prince Han for your favor, but I have been seriously injured and must go back to Xianyang for treatment, this battle will be commanded by Prince Han, how about it?"
This time, he was much more modest, and there was no arrogance on his face.
"Ah!" Seeing this, Han Xinglie smiled bitterly, and when he saw that all the generals of the Qin State had no objections, he smiled: "Okay, then Xinglie will trespass, and he will temporarily act as the commander! However, if General Meng's body allows, he will be treated in the Chinese military tent, and he can guide us, how about it?"
"Yes, Prince Han rest assured, Meng Wei knows everything, everything is endless, haha, although the prince is in command, if our generals of Great Qin do not listen to the order, this general will kill him!" Meng Wei said resolutely.
He knew that at this moment, he had the highest seniority in the army and the highest rank, only if he obeyed Han Xinglie's orders, everyone could honestly obey Han Xinglie's command, so that the Qin army would form a strong combat ability and repel the Zhao army!
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the generals of the Qin State up and down immediately promised: "I am willing to listen to Prince Han's orders!"
In fact, although they recognized Han Xinglie's command before, their attitude was still ambiguous, at this time, Meng Fu made up his mind, and only one by one did they obey, so they quickly allowed it, for fear that it would be too late, and Meng Fu would not be happy, then, they would have a sad life in the future.
"Okay, since that's the case, then, this prince is not welcome! Hehe, let's take the encirclement and annihilation of Li Mu's army as the main thing! I will go out of the north, General Yinglong will go out of the west, and General Yingbao will go out to the southeast, and we will attack in three directions! As for General Meng Tian and General Wang Qian, they will move according to the situation, and we will attack! General Meng Wei will lead 30,000 troops to stay in the camp!" Han Xinglie immediately gave the order.
"No!" all the soldiers of the Qin State were convinced when they heard this!
Although this is an arrangement that veterans often talk about, I saw that Han Xinglie had already counted the armies of Meng Tian and Wang Qian, which showed that they had already discussed it in advance, and decided at this time, but they felt that the time for a decisive battle had come, so the military order was both simple and clear!
Meng Wei was also convinced, and sighed: "Haha, Prince Han is Prince Han, he is really well-informed, it seems that this is a strategy that you have formulated a long time ago! Okay, let's act according to Prince Han's military orders, but unfortunately, I can't go with you on the expedition, it's a pity!"
"Haha, why should General Meng be so sad? Let's come to Japan for a long time, don't worry, the old general, let's go with General Meng Tian!" Yinglong hurriedly comforted him.
Han Xinglie was satisfied, and smiled: "Yinglong, Yingbao, you two must not fight too hard, we just need to drive the Zhao army out of the Qin State! Don't pursue too much, otherwise, we will also fall into a dead end, and when we reach Zhaodi, we will have no geographical advantage!"
"Yes, Brother Lie, don't worry, we understand!Haha, it's just that the Tiger Ben Army is led by Ying Leopard, I will hit Li Mu's Chinese army tent, haha!" Ying Leopard laughed, as if he was in a bit of a hurry!
Han Xinglie smiled and knocked him on the head, before he was happy: "Think beautifully, you kid is too impatient, right? Remember, if you meet Wang Jian and Meng Tian, we will be equal to victory! If you want to defeat Li Mu, it is not possible at present, he has 30,000 iron horsemen, and we only have 10,000 tigers, the number is too small, we can't take risks!"
Subsequently, more than 100,000 Qin troops had already rushed towards the Zhao army like a tide, and the one who rushed to the front was the 10,000 tiger army led by Han Xinglie himself.
Sure enough, the Tiger Ben army entered the Zhao army, as if it had entered a no-man's land, invincible, and immediately broke away the defense of the Zhao army!
As a last resort, Li Mu had to personally lead 30,000 iron horsemen to resist, but it was too late, and both sides were immediately attacked by the two armies of Yinglong and Yingbao!
Their chariot advantage suddenly appeared at this time, rushing all the way to kill, and actually defeated the elite cavalry of the Zhao army, Li Mu saw that the general situation was not good, so he had to cover the retreat of the three armies to the border of Zhao with 30,000 elite soldiers.
Han Xinglie led an army of 30,000 to the border of Zhao State, then stopped, and sneered: "General Li, this time we are both defeated, haha, no one has taken advantage! Next time, let's fight again, haha, take care, General!"
Li Mu sighed, so he had to arch his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Prince Han is really heroic, let's meet again, haha, thank you prince for sending him off!"
He wasn't even angry, it seemed that he was able to get out of the way, which was the greatest blessing!
Indeed, if we continue to fight to the death in Qin this time, then these 200,000 troops will not be able to come back!
However, Han Xinglie and the others did not dare to pursue, otherwise, as soon as they entered Zhao Land, they would be in danger again!
Therefore, the two sides just fought a tacit battle, attacking and defending each other, but: both sides lose!
However, the Qin army could afford to lose, because the casualties of more than 30,000 people were just scratching the itch in the boots for the Qin State, but it was different for the Zhao State, they lost more than 30,000 horses, plus the lack of Li Mu's previous attack on Wuxiang, a total of nearly 60,000 horses.
Calculated carefully, the Zhao army did not take any advantage, but lost money!
Therefore, on the return trip, Li Mu was already worried, and such a record can only show that he was defeated, so: how will Zhao Jia treat himself? Will he take back the military power again?
How did he know that he had just arrived in Zhao and entered Shicheng, and the order of King Zhao came: "General Li Mu is not effective in battle, withdraw the position of general, and the general will be temporarily replaced by Zhao Lin!"
Zhao Junquan was dumbfounded!
