When the Donghu Army and Sushen Army saw their king being captured, their first reaction was not to fight for their lives or to surrender, but to flee wildly in all directions. They only regretted that their parents had lost two legs.
"Except those who kneel down and surrender, we will kill all without mercy!" Li Mu's cold voice sounded on the grassland.
Following Li Mu's order, the Zhao army pounced on the fleeing Donghu Army and Sushen Army like hungry wolves. Blood flowers bloomed everywhere on the battlefield, the grass was dyed red with blood, and the grassland was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The horses of Donghu and Sushen had been hungry all winter. Wherever they could outrun Zhao Jun's horses, before they could escape a few steps, soldiers were constantly being overtaken by Zhao Jun, and they knelt on the ground and surrendered.
But it's too late.
Zhao Jun's eyes were cold, his cold spear pierced the enemy's chest mercilessly, and he rushed towards the next enemy.
Some Donghu soldiers saw that Zhao Jun was not going to let them go, so they turned their horses and rushed towards Zhao Jun as if they were dead. They wanted to drag a Zhao Jun on the road before they died, but in the end they could only die tragically under the hooves of Zhao Jun's horses.
Although Donghu and Sushen had many people, they were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of Zhao Jun, with no power to fight back.
The killing lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and the ground was covered with the corpses of Donghu people. Li Mu then ordered the Zhao army to stop and said again: "Surrender without killing!"
Fan Tong quickly translated Li Mu's words.
This time, all the surviving Donghu troops and Sushen troops did not hesitate. They quickly threw their weapons aside, dismounted, knelt down and surrendered. They were afraid that Li Mu would regret it a second later.
"Tie them all up!" Li Mu waved his hand and said.
At this moment, the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats came from a distance, like the roar of thunder, and the earth was shaking violently. Soon, an endless cavalry appeared in Zhao Jun's field of vision, and it was impossible to tell how many people there were.
The reinforcements King Donghu just called for are coming!
The eyes of the Donghu and Sushen people kneeling on the ground lit up, their reinforcements were coming!
"Everyone is ready." Li Mu turned his horse's head and faced the Donghu army. He pointed his spear forward and swept it with all his strength. The horse galloped out, "Kill!"
"Kill!" Zhao Jun shouted in unison, and as the sound of bowstrings continued to sound, arrows rained out towards the enemy.
The Donghu Sushen coalition forces were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and they quickly raised their bows to fight back.
The arrows fired by Dong Hu were several times more than those of Zhao Jun. They were as dense as locusts, but most of them were blocked by the war clouds, and the remaining ones were deflected by Zhao Jun.
In terms of skills and foundation, the Great Wall Army is far from being comparable to these Rong Di. That is to say, there is no talent and military spirit now. Otherwise, Zhao Army will not lose even a single person when facing these miscellaneous soldiers.
"Let me all die!"
Sima Shang roared and rushed into the enemy army. He swept the horse in his hand up and down and knocked away all the enemies within a ten-foot radius. Zhao Jun followed Li Mu and Sima Shang and filed in, dividing the enemy into three parts.
The Zhao army was far inferior in number to the Eastern Hu Sushen coalition, but they completely overwhelmed their opponents in terms of momentum. Their weapons drew streaks of blood-red light in the air, and each flash took away the life of a Hu man.
Almost the moment the two sides fought, the Donghu Sushen coalition began to collapse. This was completely different from the outcome they had imagined.
Why were their numbers several times that of Zhao Jun, but they were suppressed by Zhao Jun in turn.
And...the king asked us to come to support, where is the king?
It’s not like we’ve already been defeated!
Zhao Jun doesn't care what the Donghu people think, they only have one idea in their hearts: to kill the enemy!
The soldiers of Donghu and Sushen could not bear the huge psychological pressure and fled one after another.
After General Donghu and General Sushen desperately maintained their formation to no avail, they decisively gave up the idea of defeating Zhao Jun and led their soldiers to flee far away.
Li Mu and Sima Shang, one on the left and the other on the right, rushed to the front of the two armies and beheaded General Donghu and General Sushen with one shot.
"Surrender without killing!" Li Mu said loudly.
The soldiers of both armies looked at the heads in the hands of Li Mu and Sima Shang. They put down their weapons and knelt on the ground. The soldiers who had surrendered before buried their heads in the ground and their bodies trembled slightly.
The Zhao army was so powerful that even though they were ten times more numerous, they still could not defeat the Zhao army. Even with just one charge, they were killed by the Zhao army and collapsed.
Donghu no longer had any intention of resisting, and could only kneel on the ground and tremble, hoping that Zhao Jun could spare their lives.
"As long as you surrender obediently, I will never kill you." Li Mu said to all the Hu people, and the Zhao army swarmed behind him and tied up all the surrendered Donghu troops and Sushen troops.
"Leave this place to sir." Li Mu said to Fan Tong, swung his spear forward and shouted, "All the Great Wall Army, charge with me!"
The symbolic meaning of King Donghu is greater than the actual significance to Donghu. It does not mean that the entire Donghu can be conquered by capturing King Donghu. The various tribes of Donghu are scattered throughout the grassland. If you want to conquer the entire Donghu, you must conquer all the tribes.
In the past, Zhao State would definitely not have this ability, but with Fan Tong's help, Zhao Jun has mastered the distribution map of all Donghu tribes. Donghu is no different from running naked in front of Zhao Jun.
"General, don't worry. Leave this place to me, Old Fan, and I will send all the prisoners back to the fortress." Fan Tong said with a smile. He had been waiting for this moment for too long.
Give the entire Donghu as a gift to the State of Zhao. When you meet the King of Zhao, you should be rewarded!
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu was already dozens of meters away.
"The next tribe is just thirty miles away. There are more than 30,000 people, which can be considered a relatively large tribe. Li Yuan, you lead 1,500 soldiers there."
"There is another tribe to the west with only ten thousand people. Chen Qi, you lead a thousand people there."
"This tribe in the northeast..."
In order to speed up the process and eliminate as many tribes in Donghu as possible before they could react, Li Mu decided to split up his forces and then meet up with the Black Wolf tribe.
There are many tribes in Donghu, and each tribe is not very strong. Zhao Jun was caught by surprise and quickly captured several tribes one after another. Although some tribes resisted desperately, they still could not change the result.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fan Tong followed Zhao Jun, gathering Donghu's surrender troops along the way.
Half a month later, Li Mu led the converging Great Wall Army to arrive not far from the Black Wolf tribe.
This was the most powerful tribe in Donghu and the last large tribe in Donghu. Apart from this, all tribes with a population of more than 10,000 were wiped out.
"General, do you want to charge directly?" Sima Shang looked at the Black Wolf tribe not far away and said, licking his lips.
"Charge directly!" Li Mu said. To deal with a group of Rong Di, if you don't charge directly, what kind of strategy should you pay attention to?
"Two generals, two generals, don't attack, don't attack, we surrender." At this time, a horse galloped from the tribe, and after seeing Li Mu, he shouted excitedly.
Li Mu and Sima Shang looked at each other, and both saw the confusion in the other's eyes.
The Zhao army destroyed so many Donghu tribes and many surrendered, but this was the first one to surrender immediately.
Of course, Fan Tong cannot be counted.
He was originally from Zhao.
"I have admired Zhao for a long time and wanted to submit to Zhao for a long time, but I had no connections. Now I finally met the two generals. I am willing to lead the entire tribe to submit to Zhao." Tai Zhe, the leader of the Black Wolf Tribe, knelt in front of the Zhao army.
He said it with great piety, as if it was true.
"Can you speak our Zhao national dialect?" Li Mu asked.
"Of course, since I was defeated by the general last time, I have been studying Zhao Guo dialect very hard, just so that one day I can serve His Majesty King Zhao. If I can see the holy face of King Zhao one day, I will die without regrets." Tai Zhe said.
"You are good at talking, but don't think that I will let you go. To be honest, I am here just to pacify Dong Hu." Li Mu said in a deep voice.
"What did the general say? After Xiao's surrender, we are no longer a family. What does the general have to do to pacify Donghu and Xiao? But if the general needs Xiao's help, just give him the order." The resentment in Tai Zhe's eyes flashed.
But facing the powerful Zhao army and the even more powerful Zhao State behind him, he could only lower his noble head and pray that Zhao State could spare his life and that of his people.
"In that case, let the Black Wolf tribe move into the fortress." Li Mu waved his hand and said.
"Move into the fortress?" Tai Zha was stunned for a moment.
Although he had no choice but to surrender to the Zhao army, there was still an element of gambling in it. All the large tribes of Donghu, including King Donghu, were wiped out by the Zhao army. Even Sushen was severely wounded by the Zhao army.
The only one whose strength is intact is the Black Wolf Tribe.
As long as he obediently surrenders to Zhao Jun, after Zhao Jun leaves, he alone has the final say in the entire Donghu.
He is truly the King of Donghu.
Even if you become a vassal to the State of Zhao, it is worth paying tribute every year.
If Zhao State wants to control the Northeast, it also needs a spokesperson to stand up, otherwise killing alone will not solve the problem.
The nomadic people on the grassland are like leeks. Once you cut a crop, there will be another crop, and you can't kill them all.
But what Tai Zha didn't expect was that Li Mu actually wanted to move his entire tribe into the fortress.
Doesn’t Zhao State need a spokesperson in the Northeast?
"What? You don't want to?" Li Mu asked in a deep voice, and the Zhao troops behind him all raised their weapons.
"No, no, it's a small honor to be able to move into the fortress. I have long wanted to live at the feet of the Emperor and feel the Emperor's teachings every day. However, due to the long distance and the obstacles of the mountains, I have never been able to realize it." Tai Zha hurriedly said.
said.
If he dared to hesitate at this time, Zhao Jun would never let them go.
"Then you come with us. The Black Wolf tribe will notify Fan Tong to send someone to receive it." Li Mu said.
"With the general? Where to go?" Tai Zhe asked doubtfully. The Black Wolf tribe is already the last tribe of Donghu. Shouldn't Zhao Jun return home now?
"Of course they are attacking Su Shen and provoking our country, Zhao. Do you still want to stay out of it?" Li Mu said in a deep voice.
Tai Zhe immediately shivered. Although he was also a strong man in the extraordinary realm and immune to cold and heat, he still felt a chill and silently mourned for Su Shen in his heart.
Zhao Jun did not take any rest, but rushed all the way to Sushen.
Zhao Guo did not know Sushen as thoroughly as Donghu, but he was not completely ignorant. After all, Sushen occupied the fertile soil in the Northeast, and while Zhao Guo was exploring the Northeast, how could he avoid it?
So Su Shen.
Sushen and Donghu bordered each other, and there were frequent conflicts between the two tribes. In the past, Donghu had always had the upper hand, but since Donghu suffered heavy losses from Zhao, Sushen had the upper hand.
Donghu has suffered a lot in recent years, and even ceded some pastures to Sushen.
After three days of hurried march, Zhao Jun finally encountered the first Sushen tribe.
This was destined to be an unequal war. In just a quarter of an hour, this unknown small tribe was captured by the Zhao army, and the cattle and sheep they had accumulated for many years became the food and fodder of the Zhao army.
After Zhao Jun rested for a while, he got on his horse and rushed to the next tribe.
At this moment, Fan Tong sent someone to deliver a letter.
This letter had been on the road ten days ago, but Zhao Jun kept going all the way. The messenger with three horses chased him all the way, and finally caught up today.
"General, general, Zhonglang will ask you to return to the army quickly." The envoy said excitedly when he saw Li Mu.
Fan Tong was granted the title of Hu Zhonglang General to protect the east by Zhao Kuo, so the envoy called Fan Tong Zhonglang General.
"What happened?" Li Mu stopped quickly.
"A young master from Donghu escaped and asked for reinforcements from the three kingdoms of Gaoyi, Haoqi, and Jizi. General Zhonglang was no match for him, so he could only lead his men to retreat," the envoy said.
"Gao Yi, Hao Qi, Ji Zi Chao? Do they dare to be enemies of our Zhao country?" Li Mu suddenly turned his head, and boundless murderous aura filled the air from his body.
Li Mu was not angry about Fan Tong's defeat. All the Zhao troops were under his command, and Fan Tong only had some barbarians in his hands, so his loyalty could not be guaranteed. It was normal that he could not defeat the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces.
But he did not expect that three small countries would dare to become enemies of Zhao.
Or perhaps, Li Mu didn't take these small countries seriously at all.
"The prisoners... almost all the prisoners were rescued by them, but fortunately King Donghu and King Sushen had sent people to Handan in advance and they did not fall into their hands," the envoy said.
"I know this, general. Send the order and turn around and return to the army!" Li Mu said in a deep voice.
"It seems that the prestige of our Zhao country is not enough. Even small countries dare to come and stroke our Zhao country's tiger beard." Sima Shang was extremely angry. If the places occupied by these small countries were not too desolate and blocked by mountains, Zhao would not look down on them.
, where will they get their turn?
Zhao Guo did not take action against them. Instead, these small countries thought that Zhao Guo was afraid of them and took the initiative to provoke Zhao Guo. I really don't know how the word "death" is written.
Zhao Jun went all the way south, and five days later, he met Fan Tong, who was fleeing all the way and was in a terrible state.
Fan Tong was even happier to see Li Mu than to see his relatives. He hugged Li Mu's thigh excitedly and said, "I finally meet the general. If the general doesn't come, my subordinates will die at the hands of these Rong Di."
"I didn't think carefully and didn't think that these small countries would take action and make my husband suffer." Li Mu said apologetically.
"It'll be good if the general comes back. It'll be good if the general comes back." Fan Tong said happily.
"How many people are behind you?" Li Mu looked behind Fan Tong. It was obvious that there were pursuers.
"I don't know, maybe thousands of people." Fan Tong said. He didn't even have time to escape. He had no time to count how many people were chasing him.
Li Mu glanced at Sima Shang, who understood and led the Great Wall Army to meet him.
