Among Li Mujun, a man was riding a horse and looking at the cloudy sky outside, his brows were deeply furrowed. The fastest update of the Vertex novel is the one sent by Zhao Wang to the northern border.
It rained yesterday, but Li Mu actually ordered the army to camp in the camp and rested for a day.
The marching on weekdays is only a little faster than the usual marching speed.
Now that Handan is extremely urgent, what is Li Mu's intention of marching like this
Doesn't he know that now is the time when the country of Zhao is alive and dead? What kind of thoughts do he have in acting like this
Thinking of this, he sighed.
"Sir, what are you sighing for?"
A neutral voice sounded from behind him, and the man turned his head, only to see Li Mu riding a horse standing behind him.
With an ugly face, he saluted: "General Li, if it's sunny today, it's better to send the army to help Handan as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, Li Mu waved his hand calmly.
"Don't worry, sir. After the soldiers finish eating and eat breakfast, I will give the order to march after a short rest."
Also eat breakfast!
The faces of the people standing next to Li Mu became even more ugly. Now that the country of Zhao is in deep water and fire, it is better for Li Mu
"Heh." The man sneered angrily, "General Li, what are your intentions?"
Li Mu glanced at him without any fluctuations in his expression, and said indifferently: "Rescue King Zhao."
The man was taken aback.
"Then you, then you, why do you act like this?"
Said solemnly.
"King Zhao's safety is determined now, and the Qin army is on the side of Handan. Zhao Guo's safety depends entirely on your army in the north. Now you are so neglectful of the army. You want to wait until Handan is broken before going to end it!"
"Sir." Li Mu laughed, interrupted the man's words, and shook his head: "Sir, who do you think Li Mu is?"
"Mu, let me ask you, is the Qin army starting to besiege Handan now?"
The man was questioned, how could he know these things now that he was hundreds of miles away from Handan.
But seeing that Li Mu wanted to explain, he took a deep breath and shook his head: "I don't know."
"It will definitely not attack."
Li Mu said unhurriedly, looking very confident.
"Why?" The man didn't understand anymore.
"Although there are only 100,000 troops in Handan, they are all from the king's army. They are the elite of our Zhao army. Although Qin has 300,000 troops, it is impossible to destroy the city in a short time."
As he spoke, Li Mu looked at the army formation in front of him: "Now there are 100,000 of our army outside Handan. If the Qin army attacks the city and besieges Handan at this time, we will outflank it from the rear. How will the battle go?"
The man's eyes lit up: "The Qin army surrounded Handan on all sides. Our army rushed in and attacked from both inside and outside. The battle is going well."
"So in a short period of time, the Qin army will not attack the city. For the sake of stability in the rear, they must first defeat our army before besieging Handan."
"So for the time being, Handan is worry-free."
As Li Mu said, he led the man between the tents and continued: "Sir also said that our army is tied to Zhao Guo's safety, so our army must not be broken.
"Yes." After listening to Li Mu's explanation, the man was no longer so aggressive, but listened quietly.
"Our army came from the northern border. If we ran thousands of miles and arrived in Handan, what would happen to our army?" Li Mu asked, taking out a piece of dry food from his arms, and took a bite.
The man frowned and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "The army is exhausted, and it is difficult to have combat strength."
"The Qin army is on the side, and it is difficult for us to enter Handan. May I ask how our situation was at that time, and how to fight the Qin army?"
The man fell silent and stopped talking.
"If you insisted on marching in the rain yesterday, there must be people in the army who were injured by illness."
"The current speed of marching can reach Handan in less than three days, which has not exceeded the patience of the Qin army. So we don't need to rush. It would be unwise to lose our military strength for no reason during the march."
"That's it." The man nodded, and his expression calmed down: "Your Majesty, I have been taught. I hope General Wang will not blame you for disrespecting me earlier."
Li Mu smiled and waved his hands: "Sir, don't bother yourself, but the country's affairs are good, and you just don't care about anything else."
"Now that the Qin army is fighting outside, it is a winning streak and when the fighting spirit is high, it will not be a problem for us to delay for a while. And they are fighting outside, they must not be able to fight for a long time. With a firm position, the Qin army will break down without attack."
After finishing speaking with a light smile, Li Mu also finished the dry rations in his hand, licked his fingers, and looked at the people beside him: "Sir, would you like to eat some, the rations in our army are still very good."
"Haha, then thank you General."
It was the third day that Li Mujun arrived in Handan, and it hasn't rained these days.
Because the Qin army was on the side, it did not directly enter Handan, but stationed a camp on the north side of Handan and built a fortress to hold out.
For a time, Handan, the Qin army, and the army in the north became a triangle, and the situation suddenly improved for Zhao Jun.
But for Qin Jun, it became quite tricky.
If you want to attack any side, the other side will come to help. Even if the Qin army has 300,000 troops, it can only be stalemate with these two Zhao armies for a while.
Zhao Jun couldn't hold out, and after two days of delay, Henggan's face became a little worried.
The Qin army is away, but now it is very difficult for the country to support the war between South Korea and Zhao at the same time. This battle cannot be fought for a long time.
Zhao Jun couldn't hold on, all he could do was to draw the first army out to intercept and kill.
The sun was shining, and the winter chill was not so heavy, it happened to be noon.
Gu Nan lifted the curtain of the tent, but saw Heng Gan and Wang Jian were already sitting in it.
Smiling: "Sorry, I'm late."
My heart is also depressed, every time there is such a discussion. Obviously she had already arrived a little earlier, why was she still the last one to arrive.
"It's nothing." Heng Gan waved his hand with a smile, and he didn't get serious until Gu Nan sat down.
Said straight to the point.
"What do you two think of the army in the north?"
Wang Jian's face was also not very relaxed. Obviously, he did not expect such a situation to develop.
He wanted to catch them by surprise when Li Mujun was exhausted.
Unexpectedly, Li Mu's army was not a tired army at all, but full of combat power, and there was a cavalry army in his army who was good at riding and shooting guerrillas.
Wang Jianjun and them tested each other and then retreated. It was very simple and unsure. On the plains outside Handan, Zhao Jun's cavalry and shooting guerrilla tactics were too troublesome.
"This army is currently camping outside Handan because it wants to watch each other with the Handan defenders. Our army will be hindered if it wants to attack one side, so we can only draw them out to fight."
"Yeah." Heng Gan propped up the table with his hands, his eyes were uncertain.
Li Mu was rumored to be cautious in using troops, and it was not easy to lure him out.
"General Heng." Gu Nan sat aside: "I have a strategy that I might try."
Originally, I wanted to work hard for the third shift today, but ah, evolution is really difficult, sweating.
