When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 529 Li Mu: Hu Zhe, you misled me, the State of Zhao!

The departure of Zhao Cong's heavy armored regiment had a big impact on Li Mu. Li Mu only had [-] available troops on hand, and he had to besiege [-] Qin troops. The ratio of troops was still one to two, but in a tough battle, the Qin army The camp's defense facilities were extremely strong, so Li Mu's battle was not easy to fight.

But fortunately, the Qin army also didn't know the reality of the Zhao army. Li Mu handed over the task of besieging Wang Ben to Sima Shang, and led [-] Zhao troops to besiege Wang Jian's [-] troops. This meant that Sima Shang could still With a force ratio of four to one, the siege of Wang Ben had already destroyed many of the camp.

Although they could no longer attack in batches day and night as previously planned, Zhao Jun had experienced training for the first time in these days and was no longer so unfamiliar with critical battles. The kerosene sent from the rear finally arrived.

No matter how strong the fortifications are, they are still built with wood as the main material. A jar of kerosene is enough to burn a small area of ​​horses and fences.

Of course, the most critical point is that Wang Ben's arrows are running out.

Although the Hundred Wars God's Crossbow has amazing lethality, the number of specially-made Soul-Chasing Arrows is not very large. As for the ordinary Hundred Wars Crossbow, it has a fast reloading speed and caused great damage to Zhao Jun.

The huge damage and the number of arrows consumed are naturally extremely terrifying. The consumption is so large that the Hundred Battles Armor-Piercing Soldiers once ridiculed the Hundred Wars Crossbow as the "master scolds the mother's crossbow." They were complaining about the consumption of arrows.

Originally, the Qin State mobilized the whole country to provide logistics for the 40 troops on the front line, and Lu Buwei, Wei Zhuang, and others were fully committed to allocating supplies. There were also flying vehicles of the Mohists and Gongshu, such as the Suzaku and Bat Wings, which could provide additional transportation. There can be no shortage of arrows.

But when Wang Ben was surrounded, the auxiliary soldiers who transported supplies were unable to deliver supplies to Wang Ben's army. Even the Suzaku and Bat Wings found it difficult to transport them from the air.

The higher the altitude, the more difficult it is to grasp the location of the materials. An unusual gust of wind may cause a huge deviation between the planned location and the actual location of the materials, or the materials may fall into the hands of the enemy, or hit one's own soldiers. .

Therefore, the Qin army often set up a place outside the camp for the agencies Suzaku and Bat Wing to drop materials, and then transported them back to the camp by carriages and horses.

The current situation obviously cannot meet this condition.

Unless the agencies Suzaku and Bat Wing lower their altitude for transportation, lowering their altitude means being exposed to Zhao Jun's arrow attacks.

Even if Zhao Jun is a new soldier, if he still can't hit such a big target, he might as well wipe his neck and kill himself.

The archers in the army are not new recruits. These archers are either from Orions or from Zhao people with well-off families, and the latter are called Liangjiazi in later generations.

These children from well-off families not only have strong bodies, but also have free time to practice martial arts and archery. Many of them also invite military sharpshooters to teach them archery.

Therefore, only sporadic supplies can be delivered to the Qin army's camp from the air in these days. Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in Wang Ben's camp is food and grass, otherwise the situation will be even more dangerous.

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

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

Wang Jian and Li Mu looked at each other across the camp, looking at the sturdy figure, and sighed for a long time: "Li Mu... when it comes to small corps battles, I am no match for him."

Although Wang Jian has always shown humility, as a famous general, he has his own arrogance. No famous general is willing to admit that he is inferior to another famous general, especially when Wang Jian is recognized as a top-level famous general in the world. people.

Moreover, the temporary victory or defeat really cannot 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 indeed gives the famous generals a reason not to admit defeat.

But when a famous general publicly admits that he is not as good as another famous general, it means he is truly convinced, just like in the past, no matter how arrogant the military strategists were, they had to admit in front of Wu'an Lord Bai Qi that their skills were inferior to others.

Except for Bai Qi, the god of war who seemed to descend from the sky, there is no absolute strong or weak among famous generals at the level of Wang Jian and Li Mu, they just have their own strengths.Li Mu's computing power is faster than Wang Jian's, so when commanding a small corps to fight, Li Mu's battle command speed and efficiency are higher than Wang Jian's.

But Wang Jian's mental strength is better than that of Li Mu. He can count more and maintain this state for a long time.

For example, 502, who was commanded by later generations in Huaihai, suffered from Meniere's syndrome that tortured him for the rest of his life because he did not rest for seven consecutive days and nights and maintained high mental stress at all times, even though the instructors had high hopes for him. It was proposed for the first time that 502 should command the incoming tide operation, but it was finally forced to give up due to his serious illness.

Li Mu and Wang Jian had their own strengths, which gave Li Mu the upper hand for a while and successfully surrounded Wang Jian's 3 army with [-] people.

However, it was not only the gap between the two sides in their ability to command small regiments, but also the fact that Wang Jian had built too many defensive fortifications.

The strong defensive facilities of the Qin army's camp are indeed strong, but just like the natural dangers of Bashu, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it is also difficult to get out of the camp to counterattack.

The scattered horses, wooden fences, ravines, and ramparts not only restricted the Zhao army's invasion, but also restricted the Qin army's counterattack. Therefore, Li Mu was able to trap Wang Jian's army by relying on a one-to-one strength ratio.

And just as the fight between the two sides was in full swing, pieces of bad news reached the camps of the Qin and Zhao armies almost at the same time.

"Qin General Wang Jue captured our Zhongmou, Ye, Pingyang, and Wucheng cities, killed the general Hu Zou, beheaded [-] people, and captured [-] people. The gates on our southern front have been opened, so we can quickly return to Danhan to aid!"

After Li Mu saw this battle report, he immediately suspected the identity of the messenger. Even though he answered all Li Mu's questions fluently and confirmed his identity again and again, Li Mu still suspected that he was Luo Wang's intermediary in the Zhao army.

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

Li Mu looked at the battle report. After Hu Zhuo was defeated and asked Li Mu to return to aid Danhan, he also attached the general process of Hu Zhuo's defeat. Li Mu immediately understood.

He already understood the reason for Hu Zhe's defeat.

Hu Zhuo was a veteran general of the Zhao State and had rich experience in fighting with the Qin State, so he was confident that he would hand over the southern line to Hu Zhuo for defense. However, he did not expect that Hu Zhuo would make a huge mistake.

Hu Zou's experience in fighting the Qin army was so sufficient that he relied entirely on experience to face the Qin army.

The Qin State was good at formation battles. The Qin Army's solid formations, high military morale, and military law's requirements for united operations were the reasons why the Qin Army was good at formation battles.

However, the Qin army is good at formation battles, and has only used its advantages in formation battles in front of Hu Zou. This does not mean that the Qin army is only good at formation battles.

Back then, Bai Qi had demonstrated the Qin army's ability to intersperse and divide and encircle the tactics in the Battle of Huayang and the Battle of Changping, but Hu Jue completely copied the experience gained from the past battles with Wang Ye to analyze Wang Ye, completely forgetting about Wang Ye. He was the leading first lieutenant around Bai Qi back then.

But even though he had finished reading the battle report, Li Mu read it again a few times as if he didn't believe in evil. There was silence in the tent. The messenger did not dare to say anything at all, but half-kneeled and waited 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 Zhe, you misled me, the State of Zhao!"
