Li Mu's Northern Goblin Cavalry attacked everywhere, sometimes attacking Linzhang and sometimes attacking Anyang.
This Great Wall originally belonged to the State of Zhao. Li Mu and others were very familiar with it, and the nearby terrain was naturally no stranger to it either.
Therefore, the cavalry always appeared suddenly at the weak points of the Great Wall to launch fierce attacks and then disappeared before the Qin army organized a defense.
Shen Bing had the illusion that Zhao Jun could break through the Great Wall several times, but they did not do so.
Later, Shen Bing realized that this was not an illusion and that Li Mu did this intentionally.
Even Li Mu's subordinates were puzzled by this.
"General!"
"Why don't we break the Great Wall and expose the Qin army to enemies on both sides?"
"But you want to fight with it in the north?"
Li Mu looked at the soldiers who were attacking the city and asked instead:
"Do you know what will happen if we break through the Great Wall?"
The general thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied:
"I don't know."
If he knew, he wouldn't ask this question.
Li Mu answered slowly word by word:
"I can't wait for five thousand fine cavalry, but the Qin army has tens of thousands on the Great Wall."
"If our army breaks through the Great Wall and enters the south, the main force must hold on to a certain section of the Great Wall to maintain contact."
"And if our army uses its main force to defend the Great Wall and fight to the death with the Qin army's tens of thousands of infantry..."
"So what if we win in the end?"
After hearing this, the generals couldn't help but admire Li Mu and fell to the ground.
This is indeed true.
The greatest advantage of cavalry is its mobility.
If you have to defend a certain section of the Great Wall because a cavalry unit breaks into the other side of the Great Wall...
This will force all the cavalry to give up their mobility and concentrate on garrisoning in one place.
At that time, even if the five thousand elite cavalry could defeat the Qin army with one block, it would be a miserable victory.
It's better to be like now, hitting here and hitting there.
It felt like there was danger everywhere when the Qin army was running around, but the main force of the Zhao army could not be found, so they could only be beaten passively.
This not only consumes the Qin Army's effective strength, but also consumes the Qin Army's morale and will to fight.
Once the Zhao infantry arrived, the Qin army would no longer be able to deal with it.
It has to be said that Li Mu grasped the situation very well.
At this time, the Qin army was filled with an atmosphere of frustration and failure.
It felt uncomfortable to be treated like a cat and a mouse by Zhao Jun.
Sometimes reinforcements were sent there, sometimes reinforcements were sent here.
Sometimes, information was received that Zhao's troops had withdrawn before they reached their destination, and they returned without even seeing the enemy.
If it's once or twice, that's fine.
In the past few days, each troop has made at least ten trips like this.
Sometimes I thought that the trip would be in vain, so I simply didn't reinforce it, but I didn't want the Zhao army to launch a fierce attack again and cause heavy losses.
When the military situation is urgent, even the artillerymen cannot avoid the pain of running around...
During the break, Yanbian sat down on the stone and complained:
"This Zhao Jun is so disgusting."
"How long will you continue to play with our army like this?"
"If he is a good man, he will set up a battle array and fight to the death with us!"
Shen Bing smiled in his heart.
How can this marching battle be described by the word "hero"?
Why didn't Li Mu take advantage of this advantage?
Cang continued with a dissatisfied look on his face: "If we continue to fight like this, sooner or later I will wait..."
Xun interrupted Cang with a sharp voice:
"Shut up!"
"I can't tolerate your talking!"
As he spoke, Xun looked around uneasily and warned:
"Last night, seven more soldiers were sentenced to death for escaping."
"Everyone, remember, it's a small matter if I die, but it's a big deal if it harms my family."
"Remember, remember!"
The craftsmen around him couldn't help but fell silent.
What Xun is talking about is the "sitting together" system.
If one person escapes, not only will his fellow soldiers be imprisoned, but it will also bring harm to his family.
Being demoted or whipped is considered a light punishment, but if you are demoted to a slave and sent to the army, you will never be able to turn over again.
Unless they can kill the enemy and perform meritorious service to redeem themselves like Yan.
However, even so, there are still people who are desperate to escape at all costs, which shows how low morale is.
It is no exaggeration to say that almost everyone did not think that the Qin army could win this battle.
In other words, everyone thinks that they are going to die here on this trip.
Fatty Tun handed the glass to Shen Bing and said, "Gongcheng, have a drink of water!"
Shen Bing nodded to express his gratitude.
The gong is shaped like a horn. It was originally a container used to hold wine. In the army, it was often used as a kettle. It was convenient to tie a hemp rope on both ends and carry it on your back.
Shen Bing opened the lid and took a few sips, then handed it back to Fatty Tun.
"Gong...Gongcheng." Fatty Tun didn't leave just yet. He kept mumbling at the side.
Shen Bingqi asked: "Is something wrong?"
"No, no...no...it's okay!" Fatty shook his hands wildly, but the large beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed him.
Shen Bing raised his head in the direction of Zhao Jun:
“If you have something to say, say it!”
"If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to say anything."
Fatty Tun then plucked up the courage and said:
"Master Gong, I have an unkind request!"
"My subordinates want to worship Gongcheng as their teacher."
"I wonder if Gong Cheng is willing to accept this disciple as his disciple?"
Shen Bing couldn't help but be surprised.
At this time?
In this precarious time, no one knows how long they can survive?
Apprenticeship?
Shen Bing smiled and asked:
"Do you know I don't have long to live?"
Fatty Tun replied: "My subordinates know."
Shen Bing asked puzzledly:
"If you know it, why bother?"
"Even if I agree, what can I teach you?"
Fatty Tun replied:
"It is precisely because of this knowledge that I want to fulfill my wish before I die!"
"My subordinates don't expect to learn anything, they just want to learn from Gongcheng."
"Even if I die immediately, I will have no regrets!"
His tone was firm, and he actually stopped stuttering.
Shen Bing hesitated for a moment.
To be honest, he is not used to others worshiping him as their teacher or calling him master.
Although he knew that this was common in this era, especially among craftsmen...
Which of the craftsmen did not learn from a master?
There was no "Lanxiang Technical School" in this era, and learning skills depended entirely on the guidance of masters.
But then I thought about it, I was going to die anyway, so what does being a master have to do with it?
Why do you have to be so inhumane?
So he nodded:
"I'm just afraid I'm not qualified..."
Before Shen Bing could finish speaking, Fatty Tun Na bowed his head:
"Thank you, master!"
"Master, please bow to me, disciple!"
After saying this, he bowed three times and knelt his head on the ground with a "bang bang" sound.
Shen Bing helped Fatty Tun up with a slight embarrassment, but he didn't want Fatty Tun to turn around and prostrate himself in front of Xun happily:
"Disciple and grandson pay homage to the master."
"Thank you, Master, for the instruction..."
Xun glared at Fatty Tun fiercely, then took a peek at Shen Bing.
Shen Bing was stunned. He found that he seemed to have fallen into a trap.
What the hell kind of world is this?
It’s so depressing that Master Xun actually teamed up with outsiders to dig a hole for himself?
What's even more hateful is that I actually jumped down when I saw a pit...
Li Mu is not the only one who knows how to use scheming methods!
