Chapter 463 Strange War
In late March of the 16th year of Qin Wangzheng, the Qin army went out of the Taihang Mountains and went down to several cities. Finally, 15 troops were stationed in Jingxingguan to Donghuan, which was less than a hundred miles away. The [-] Zhao army led by Li Mu met.
The two most capable armies in the world confront each other on a battle line of more than a hundred miles. It is related to the rise and fall of a country, and the battle for the survival of a country begins.
However, between the confrontation of more than 20 troops, neither the Qin army nor the Zhao army launched an attack in the first place, especially the Qin army, which was originally the attacking party, actually built a camp. A defensive stance.
In the Qin Army's camp, there were sounds of drills from time to time, which made Zhao Jun, who was only more than ten miles away from the Qin Army's camp, at a loss for a while.
"What exactly is Qin Jun going to do?" In Zhao Jun's camp, Sima Shang looked at the map in front of him. Two distinct lines ran through it, making Zhao's map look like a huge scar.
"The Qin army is waiting for us to attack." Li Mu also faced the map, his brows were furrowed, and Yang Ming was more difficult than he imagined.
According to Li Mu's information, Yang Ming's style on the battlefield should be vigorous and resolute, which is quite similar to his own, but now, when he actually confronted Yang Ming, Li Mu discovered that, Under Yang Ming's vigorous and resolute actions, he was extremely stable. He didn't just know how to attack blindly.
"10 people attacking 15 people, such a battle is not easy to fight," Sima Shang said.
A person who is obviously capable but extremely cautious, how can the enemy fight?There is no way to start.
"When the two armies are facing each other, the most taboo is to fall into the rhythm of the other side. Since the Qin army wants to defend, then we will also defend. Anyway, we are fighting locally, and we will fight for consumption in a short period of time. The Qin army who needs to cross the Taihang Mountains to transport food and grass is no more occupied than us. advantage." Li Mu pondered.
"Moreover, as long as the time is not delayed until May, in the next 40 days, the longer the Qin army delays, the more beneficial it is for us. We can mobilize more soldiers if the battle does not exceed [-] days. Horse." Li Mu said.
In this era, especially in countries like Qin and Zhao, it can be said that almost all the people are soldiers, but if the Zhao army is fighting at a long distance, Zhao's national strength cannot support a larger force, but fighting at home, and It was still a short-term battle, but Zhao Guo was able to mobilize more troops.
But, is it really that simple?
While Zhao Jun was calmly dealing with the Qin Army, Yang Ming was unhurriedly practicing soldiers and horses in the tightly closed Qin Army camp, which seemed to be exactly as Li Mu analyzed, but Waiting for Zhao Jun's attack, but is this really the case?
"Master Guardian, are you going to use defense as an offense, constantly wear down Zhao Jun's morale and combat power, and then launch a counterattack?" Li Xin, who was wrongly loved by Qin Wangzheng, is now a commanding soldier under Yang Ming's account. The identity of Yang Ming was kept by his side for appointment.
"You think so?" Yang Minghua, who was extremely calm before the battle, moved the dagger in his hand, and cut a thin slice from the leg of lamb that was being placed on the stove. Between the cold blades, it was as thin as Cicada wings exude a tempting aroma.
"Yes, after thinking about it in a humble position, there is only one explanation." Li Xin hesitated for a while, but still insisted on his own opinion.
"What do you think of this strategy?" Yang Ming put the mutton into his mouth, and he couldn't help frowning while chewing. Although it is difficult to turn extravagance into frugality, the delicious mutton just feels ordinary at this time, just because Yang Ming My skills are really mediocre, especially with Hu Ji and Gongsun Lizhuyu in front.
"It's safe. Fighting against Li Mu is indeed the most taboo to underestimate the enemy." Li Xin pondered. Li Xin matured a lot after a big defeat at the hands of Li Mu last year. Given the opportunity given to him by the government, it is not impossible for him to rise again.
It's just that this time Li Xin obviously thought too much.
"You think too much. I just think that the current Zhao army is not strong enough. Once we launch an attack, they will retreat and defend, which will prolong the war." Yang Ming said.
In this battle, the Qin army had the upper hand in strength. If Yang Ming launched an attack first, Li Mu's best choice would be to defend to wear down the Qin army's spirit, and then wait for the opportunity to seize the Qin army's flaws during the Qin army's attack, and then Complete a breakthrough locally, occupy an advantage, and then continue to expand that advantage, and finally achieve the goal of defeating the strong with the weak.
But Yang Ming didn't bother to continue this war for too long, what he wanted was to set the world in one battle.
Li Mu is certainly the most famous general in the world, and his Zhao Guobian cavalry is certainly the most elite army in the world, but Yang Ming is also one of the people standing at the top of the world, and Qin Jun is also the most elite army in the world. How could Yang Ming have any fear in facing Li Mu and his Zhao Guo side cavalry against the terrifying legion.
What Yang Ming is doing now is to let the morale of the Zhao army reach its peak, let the Zhao army develop the courage and determination to fight the Qin army, and then defeat the Zhao army with absolute strength, and then win the Zhao country in one fell swoop, endless offensive and defensive Yang Ming doesn't like war very much, what he wants is the first battle and the decisive battle.
"For people like Li Mu, the so-called military tactics are useless, because he also knows what you know. It can be said that people who are proficient in military tactics cannot defeat each other. The best way is to fight directly. , to decide the outcome on the battlefield, just rely on strength." Yang Ming continued.
"It's just that?" Li Xin looked at Yang Ming in surprise, and forced himself to suppress the question, not letting himself ask it.
At this moment, Li Xin couldn't help but have a suspicion, what was wrong with him in the first place, that he had such a big defeat.
In the confrontation on the northern front, the war on the southern front has entered a fierce stage. When Yang Ming, who is good at attacking, chooses to defend on the spot abnormally, and he is familiar with the art of war, but the mature and prudent Wang Jian immediately launched an attack. The attack was still chaotic, the 20 army only left 17 Qingqi as a reserve army, and the remaining [-] were divided into several divisions, and they rushed to the Great Wall of Zhao State like sea water, launching a chaotic attack without coordination among the divisions.
Under normal circumstances, such a chaotic attack is a taboo for military strategists, but on the southern line of Zhao, Wang Jian's unruly attack caused Zhao Jun to suffer terribly.
It's just that compared to the panic on the front line of the Great Wall in the southern border of Zhao State, those princes and dignitaries in the capital city of Zhao fell into a real panic.
On the northern line, Li Mu's army, which is best at attacking, entered into a confrontation with the Qin army strangely, while on the southern line, under the Qin army's unruly attack, there was a risk of being broken through, and there was no chance of victory on the front line. Hope, but the front line has already seen the possibility of failure. Facing this life-and-death battle, how can the insiders in the Zhao Kingdom not panic?
"What exactly does Li Mu want to do? Isn't he the best at attacking? How did he defend? The Great Wall in the south has already been destroyed. He holds Zhao's most elite army, but he is still confronting the Qin army. Since then, you haven’t even fought a single battle.” The Queen Mother Zhao who summoned Guo Kai, Lord Chunping and other important officials into the palace repeatedly questioned.
In the current situation, no one is more anxious than her. Although she is definitely not a good person, she is definitely one of the few people who do not want Zhao Guo to perish, because the current Zhao Guo belongs to her and belongs to her son.
"Queen Mother, the general has experienced battles for a long time and can see things we can't see. He must have his own reasons for his current choice." Chunping Jun said, although he didn't know why Li Mu chose to confront the Qin army, but he knew that the ability of Li Mu's army was unmatched in Zhao, and his choice must have his own reasons.
"Xiangguo, what do you think?" Hearing Mr. Chunping's explanation, Queen Mother Zhao looked at Guo Kai. Although she knew that Guo Kai was definitely not a good person, at this moment, she must be on her side, because Guo Kai All of Kai's glory and wealth are tied to her body. It is not a good thing for Guo Kai to betray Zhao Guo. Can Qin Guo give Guo Kai the position of Prime Minister?
Is that possible?Guo Kai doesn't have that ability.
On the contrary, Li Mu?Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zhao became more worried. Li Mu was too perfect, so perfect that she couldn't grasp it. Such a person was something she couldn't understand. She could work hand in hand with Guo Kai, but she couldn't be with Li Mu. De, how else to put it, what kind of people are surrounded by what kind of people?The saying that birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups is a summary of the experience of countless people in the world.
"Queen, what Jun Ping said is not unreasonable." Guo Kai's answer was beyond Queen Zhao's expectation.
Queen Zhao looked at Guo Kai intently, and then she saw another layer of meaning, and she decided to end this topic, and began to discuss other matters.
After the crowd dispersed, Queen Zhao left Guo Kai alone and asked, "What Xiangguo said just now seems to have a deeper meaning?"
"Queen, we have to guard against Li Mu." Guo Kai said bluntly.
"What do you mean?" Queen Zhao couldn't help feeling tense when she heard the words, because what Guo Kai said was similar to what she thought, and she was not too relieved about Li Mu.
"Queen Mother, you know who Yang Ming, the captain of Qin's army guard, is, Queen Mother. The relationship between him and Li Mu is no secret to the Queen Mother and me." Guo Kaidao.
Back then, the two of them colluded to kill the original husband's manor of the Queen Mother Zhao, and a young man escaped from there. Who would have thought that the young man back then would have the ability to conquer Zhao Guo 12 years later.
"What do you mean?" Queen Mother Zhao said solemnly, and this was also what she was most worried about.
"Will Li Mu want to collude with Yang Ming in the confrontation with the Qin army?" Guo Kai said what the Queen Mother Zhao was most worried about.
