"Its goal is to..."

"Great Wall!"

Yang Ting was almost taken aback by this thought.

"The Great Wall, Li Mu is going to attack the Great Wall!"

"Why am I so stupid? Shen Bing has repeatedly reminded that this is Li Mu's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"

"Its goal is the Great Wall, so how can it fight with itself?"

"What should I do now, what should I do?"

Yang Ting was at a loss for a while and lost her mind.

Shen Bing guessed right, Li Mu's goal was the Great Wall.

Prior to this, Li Mu prepared two offensive plans.

One is that the Qin army did not discover the ambush.

Then its main force will go straight to Matou Mountain, stepping into the ambush circle preset by Li Mu on the way.

then……

Then there is no more.

Li Muhui would finish off the main force of the Qin army first, and then take down the Great Wall together from inside to outside.

At that time, Yang Duanhe will have no reason.

Another plan: If the Qin army finds an ambush, the Zhao army will bypass the main force of the Qin army and attack the Great Wall directly.

The Qin army had already left the Great Wall for more than twenty miles.

Qin was infantry and Zhao was cavalry.

If Li Mu dispatched several teams of cavalry to harass, the Qin army would not be able to rush back to the Great Wall within a few hours.

However, Zhao Jun could take advantage of the speed of the cavalry to rush to the Great Wall and attack on the Great Wall first.

Even if the main force of Qin rushed back in time, he still had to face the defense laid by Zhao Jun.

Watching five thousand fine riders bypassing from both sides, but Qin Jun could only stay where he was helplessly.

Li Mu couldn't help showing a smug smile on his face, and at the same time "hummed" twice.

At this time Yang Ting was really panicked, she even shouted in her heart:

"Father, my daughter is not filial!"

"Not only failed to save you, but lost the Great Wall!"

"Once the Great Wall is lost, there will be no power to recover..."

however……

Just when Li Mu was complacent and Yang Ting was desperate.

Suddenly several flames shot up into the sky and hit the sides of the formation.

"Let go!" Shen Bing shouted.

The pine bombs soared into the air again amidst the sound of the machine, and flew towards the two wings.

Bundles of ignited pine lights rolled down onto the achnatherum, which was half a person's height high, and instantly ignited wildfires everywhere.

Most of the war horses of the northern cavalry fought against the Huns in the grasslands or deserts of Mobei, and they had never seen such a scene.

Suddenly frightened, the formation immediately became chaotic, and some cavalry even fell off their horses because of this...

This is not because the cavalry is not good at riding, but it is common for them to fall off their horses in an era without stirrups and saddles.

This is also the reason why cavalry usually do not directly attack the infantry phalanx. Even in this era, it is more common for cavalry to dismount and fight infantry.

Yang Ting looked back, who else is not the gunner?

At that moment, Yang Ting once again experienced the feeling of being rescued from a desperate situation.

Just in time!

How could I forget the gunner?

Wouldn't it be just right to use fire bombs at this time?

The northern goblin rider was about to turn his horse's head to avoid the fire, but saw another wave of fireballs in the air.

This wave is sackcloth bombs.

The fireball flew three hundred steps away like meteors, and bounced and rolled along the steep surface after landing.

After a while, fire broke out everywhere, and two walls of fire appeared on both sides of the Qin army's formation from the ground.

And the wall of fire continued to spread around, and it spread like a tide when blown by the wind.

In fact, at this time, Zhao Jun's cavalry could still rush over when the fire was not strong.

But Li Mu asked his subordinates to blow the bull horn and forcefully take the cavalry back.

This is not a question of whether the cavalry can rush through, but a question of whether they can all rush through.

So what if you can pass one?

When the fire is too big, the rear can't rush, wouldn't it be divided into several sections abruptly?

Can the cavalry rushing by then capture the Great Wall?

If it can't be captured, wouldn't it take all the cavalry in?

Li Mu asked the generals around him coldly:

"The Qin army is really led by Yang Ting?"

The Ministry will answer:

"It is indeed Yang Ting."

After a pause, the general added:

"However, according to the spies' report, there is a capable man in the Qin army."

The Northern Army has always put intelligence first in its marches and operations, so it has already set up its eyes and ears on the Great Wall.It's not surprising to know some news.

Li Muqi asked, "Capable person?"

The Ministry will answer:

"Exactly!"

"This person improved the trebuchet to design a fire bomb."

"Woniu Mountain was defeated because of this."

"The one who used fire to stop me from riding finely this time is probably the one who caused the trouble!"

Li Mu frowned, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why did you report it at this time?"

The general will hasten to reply:

"Report to the general!"

"Just because of people..."

"It's just a gunner operator, and his subordinates think the information is wrong."

"I want to investigate and report clearly."

Li Mu hummed:

"Find out what."

"You don't believe that a gunner operator has such abilities."

"How can intelligence be based on family background?"

Where did the general dare to talk too much, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said:

"What the general said is true, it is the subordinate's fault..."

Li Mu waved his hand impatiently to interrupt the general.

At this time, Li Mu had no interest in pursuing responsibility or making mistakes.

He looked at the army formation of the Qin army from a distance, stroked his beard and said thoughtfully:

"Gunner operator?"

"It's actually a gunner operator!"

"Could it be that he was the one who discovered our army's ambush?"

……

Shen Bing on the other side was not as carefree as Li Mu.

When Qin Jun cheered for blocking Zhao Jun's cavalry, Shen Bing looked anxiously in the direction of Yang Ting:

"Withdraw the troops!"

"Withdraw to the Great Wall and talk about it!"

"If you don't withdraw your troops at this time, why don't you keep them for the New Year?"

If it weren't for the fact that they were too far apart and couldn't leave their posts, Shen Bing would have rushed up and yelled at this little girl long ago.

But this time Yang Ting finally reacted.

It didn't take long to call out the formation banner of withdrawal.

The formation for withdrawing troops is usually a "regular formation", that is, the troops are divided into front, middle, and rear parts.

Several parts cover each other and retreat to prevent the enemy from attacking, and horse-repelling and tripping ropes are also laid along the way.

Only then did Shen Bing breathe a sigh of relief:

To save my life, my heart is really broken...

Chapter 41 福祸相倚

Qin Jun retreated all the way, Zhao Jun followed all the way.

The Qin army fired fire bombs while retreating to ignite the vegetation and protect the flanks with fire walls.

Zhao Jun's cavalry could neither bypass the mountains nor charge forward, so they could only follow behind unhurriedly.

In fact, Zhao Jun's cavalry can bypass the mountains on both sides, but it may take far more time than waiting for the Qin Army to retreat in place.

As a result, the two armies "maintained contact" unhurriedly.

Occasionally, a few cavalrymen shot a few arrows at the Qin army with itchy hands, but they were quickly shot back by the Qin army's crossbowmen.

Infantry can use kicking crossbows.

The cavalry either used a bow or a crossbow with their arms, and of course they couldn't defend against the crossbow with a much longer range.

After finally retreating to the Great Wall, the Qin army hurriedly set up defenses under the city, but suddenly found that the Northern Cavalry had disappeared.

The fat man asked with lingering fears and expectations:

"Didn't Zhao Jun retreat?"

Shen Bing smiled:

"How can Zhao Jun retreat?"

"Li Mu is here to take the Great Wall and won't give up!"

"just wait!"

Cang was instantly terrified:

"Then why is there no one?"

"What should I do?"
