Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

"marshal..."

The soldiers couldn't believe that such an order came from General Li Mu.

After attacking Hangu Pass for so long, the 30 army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, so let’s forget it?

"Marshal, even if this Ying Yuan leads an army of [-] to cooperate with the Hangu Pass defenders, the number is only more than [-], which is evenly matched with our army. Even if Hangu Pass cannot be taken in a short time, it is not possible to retreat at this moment, right?"

You Zhao will make an analysis.

They are really unwilling to give up this hard-won war situation.

"Report! Urgent report! Urgent report!"

At this time, the voice of scouts came from outside the tent.

Sitting on the bed, Li Mu frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

A general let the scout into the camp.

Then, everyone heard a very unfriendly message:

"In Hangu Pass, [-] troops were divided and stationed in the mountain road."

That is to say, they could not follow the original route to withdraw outside Hangu Pass.

And beyond the winding mountain road, that is, in front of Hangu Pass, there are still [-] to [-] of their troops.

I originally thought about attacking Hangu Pass back and forth, but I didn't expect that today it turned into a situation of being divided and attacked by the enemy.

The balance of victory has tilted towards Qin at this moment.

[Chapter 132.129: Famous Generals Showdown]

Zhao Jun is in the main tent.

Deathly silence.

Li Mu was pale and frowning.

The generals are also worried about this.

If he advances, he will confront Ying Yuan head-on;

When retreating, the enemy army is stationed on the mountain road. When the army arrives there, they must be exhausted, and the mountain road is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to break through in a short time.

If Ying Yuan's army arrives and they form a pincer attack, I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe for Zhao Jun.

"Marshal, please order! Now, how should we respond?"

Some soldiers raised questions.

Now time is life.

They couldn't delay any longer.

If you continue to stay here, you will only face more dangers.

In a dilemma, they can only hope that Li Mu can find a solution.

After a while, he lay on the bed, let out a heavy sigh, and said weakly: "Since the matter has come to this, we can only fight to the end.

The old man will personally lead [-] soldiers, advance a hundred miles forward, and fight Ying Yuan decisively, trying to persist for a while.

You and others led the army to capture Hangu Pass in the shortest time at all costs.As long as this level is occupied, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory! "

Li Mu is worthy of being a famous general of a generation, and he made a decision in the shortest time.

Even if it is to fight to the end, you can't seek your own death.

Such an approach can win Zhao Jun a chance of survival.

But in Hangu Pass, both Huan Juan and Li Xin have the potential to be famous generals in the world, and if they guard the city pass, it will bring great resistance to Li Mu.

It can greatly reduce their chances of winning.

Inside Hangu Pass.

Li Xin and Huan Yu are actively deploying defenses at the top of the city.

"According to what Lord Hou said, Li Mu will most likely storm Hangu Pass at all costs. Next, we will face an extremely tragic war."

The former looked at Zhao Jun's camp behind Hangu Pass and spoke slowly.

The latter responded: "I regret not listening to what Lord Hou said, let your troops suffer heavy losses in Tongshui, and besieged Hangu by Zhao Jun..."

Speaking of this, Li Xin said solemnly: "Right now, you and I should have a clear division of labor. I suggest that you come to guard the front of the pass, and I will guard the back of the pass. This time, we must not lose anything. Even if the entire army is wiped out, we must protect the city pass." Don't lose until the champion marquis defeats the Zhao army."

Huan Juan didn't object. He was now in a bad mood. It was the first time he led the army alone, and he suffered such a setback. He was no longer suitable to fight against the main force of the enemy.

He looked at Li Xin seriously, bowed deeply and said, "I also hope that General Li can hold on behind the pass."

......

After Zhao Jun made a decision, he had already begun to divide his troops into battle.

Li Mu personally led the army to a valley a hundred miles away from Hangu Pass.

It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, full of mountain roads.

It can be described as easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Moreover, there is a small river not far from the camp where they just stationed, which can ensure that the water source is worry-free.

Here, he is confident and can hold on for quite a while.

The Zhao army traveled long distances to this point, leaving the country for a long time, and after the summer, the weather became hotter and hotter. The soldiers wore heavy armor every day and couldn't bear the scorching heat, which led to a decline in morale and morale.

Li Mu ordered the army to set up camp in the mountains to escape the heat in order to ensure that the soldiers could be relieved from the extreme heat.

When Ying Yuan heard the news, he couldn't stop laughing.

The soldiers around were all puzzled, and someone asked: "The place where Li Mu camped is backed by a water source and occupies a favorable location. What's the benefit to us? Why is Lord Hou laughing?"

Ying Yuan sold a trick, "Don't leak the secret, order the whole army to set up camp on the spot, and declare war on Li Mu after the rear army arrives."

Originally, at the beginning, he wanted to harass Zhao Jun with the tactics of surprise attack on Qingqi.

But after seeing Li Mu's way of stationing the barracks, he didn't want to do it anymore.

Three more days.
