Yang Ting, who was trapped on another mountain, was also puzzled when she saw this situation.
Unlike Shen Bing and others, she made a decisive decision and ordered her men to catch up with Zhao Jun and capture several prisoners.
After asking, he found out that Li Mu was dead and Zhao Jun had no intention of fighting.
At that moment, Yang Ting was completely stunned.
What's going on?
Didn’t Xuchang return to Handan?
Why can this alienation plan still succeed?
Could it be...
On the contrary, the two to five hundred masters respected and admired Yang Ting:
"Congratulations to the captain for setting up a divisive plan to get rid of Li Mu!"
"The captain is wise, everything is under the captain's plan, my subordinates admire him!"
"Without Li Mu, a serious thorn in his side, the State of Zhao has nothing to worry about!"
…
Zhang Xuan didn't understand what was going on. He even wondered if this was Zhao Jun's conspiracy.
But seeing that Zhao Bing had even left his supplies and weapons behind, he believed that this was true.
Of course, Shen Bing was also stunned on the spot.
Li Mu's death...does it mean that his alienation plan was successful?
What kind of luck is this? The divorce plan actually succeeded at this time!
This not only saved his life, but also turned defeat into victory in an instant.
But this seems a little strange...
Why did Zhao Jun announce the death of Li Mu at this time?
They are not afraid of affecting the morale of the military?
Why didn't they hide and wait until they took down the Great Wall or beheaded Yang Duanhe?
This is what Zhao Cong did.
After killing Li Mu, he picked up Li Mu’s head and shouted:
"Li Mu collaborated with the enemy and conspired to rebel, and he has now been punished on the spot!"
"The three armies will be under my command from now on!"
…
Zhao Cong's idea was too simple. He thought that if he announced that he was a general earlier, the credit would belong to him earlier.
Otherwise, others would say that he took the credit from Li Mu.
However, the most important thing on the battlefield is military spirit, not imagination.
Li Mu was like a military god in the hearts of Zhao Jun, especially the northern soldiers.
When the northern soldiers heard that Li Mu was dead, they didn't see "victory is in sight" as Zhao Cong thought. Instead, they cried three times:
"The general died unjustly!"
"The general is going to perish as soon as he leaves Zhao. Why should we fight so hard?"
"The general has served the country and the people all his life, but he was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy and conspiring to rebel. This may not be the fate of us in the future!"
"If this is the case, how can Zhao be saved?"
…
So there was almost no hesitation, and the officers and soldiers immediately dispersed without caring about anyone else.
Only Zhao Cong shouted angrily:
"Come back, come back everyone!"
"Military punishment for escaping from battle..."
But who would listen to him at this time? It's a good thing that Li Mu's old subordinates didn't come up to eat him alive.
Before long, only Zhao Cong and his bodyguards were left alone in the wind.
After a while, the guard reminded Zhao Cong:
"General, it's time for us to withdraw our troops!"
Zhao Cong looked back in shock and asked:
"Withdraw troops? Why withdraw troops?"
The guard was speechless for a moment, as he seemed to have not yet reacted to the "good situation".
In other words, Zhao Cong didn't want to react at all. He had just become a general and his butt was still hot...
The guard explained:
"General, our army has been defeated."
"If we don't retreat, I'm afraid the Qin army..."
It's no wonder that Zhao Cong couldn't adapt. Just now, those Qin troops were killed by Zhao Jun and were still resisting, but in the blink of an eye, Zhao Cong was about to escape.
This speed is unbelievable.
Zhao Cong even asked himself in his heart:
"Isn't it just to kill Li Mu?"
"Is that so?"
"We still have food, supplies, and rewards..."
"Why are you running away?!"
Zhao Cong was in a daze there, while the bodyguard looked anxiously towards the Great Wall and couldn't help but urge:
"General!"
"I'm afraid things will change soon, and the Qin army is about to come!"
Only then did Zhao Cong wake up, then gritted his teeth and reluctantly ordered: "Withdraw the troops!"
Zhao Cong still holds on to a glimmer of hope.
There were 80,000 Zhao troops besieging Yang Duanhe in the Ma Tou Mountain area.
These Zhao troops are not Li Mu's northern troops, they are Pang Nuan's troops.
It doesn't matter if the Northland soldiers run away. I'll call in reinforcements and fight for another 300 rounds.
However, Zhao Cong still made the matter of killing Li Mu simple.
Li Mu's death was not the only one who was heartbroken by the soldiers in the North.
As soon as Li Mu died, everyone knew that Zhao State was about to fall.
If Zhao is about to die, who will the Zhao army fight for?
So, as the northern soldiers fled to Ma Tou Mountain, Pang Nuanjun also got the news that Li Mu was dead.
Soon, Pang Nuanjun also joined the escaping team, and even Pang Nuan couldn't stop him.
Pang Nuan, an old man, was scolding and beating his chest:
"Traitors are harming the country, traitors are harming the country!"
The last person to get the news was Yang Duanhe who was trapped in the middle.
At this time, Yang Duanhe had given up hope in this battle. His 70,000-strong army had been reduced to only 40,000.
And a large part of these 40,000 miles are wounded soldiers.
What's more serious is that they have run out of ammunition and food, and even he, the coach, can only rely on millet porridge to satisfy his hunger.
At that time, Yang Duanhe, who had a head injury and was wearing a healing belt, was sighing in the commander's tent. He only hoped that Yang Ting could seize the opportunity to withdraw the troops in time.
Otherwise, both his father and daughter would die together in the hands of Zhao Jun today.
Just then someone suddenly reported:
"General, the Zhao army is in chaos and seems to be withdrawing!"
Yang Duanhe Meng raised his head: "What? Withdraw troops?"
Before he finished speaking, Yang Duan and others quickly walked out of the tent.
Sure enough, we saw the flags of the Zhao camp in a mess, and faintly saw soldiers of the Zhao army running back and forth, people raising their heads and neighing with their horses.
"General!" the general asked for instructions: "We can take the opportunity to break out..."
Yang Duanhe raised his hand to stop the general:
"Don't be too restless!"
"I'm just afraid of fraud."
"Zhao Jun wants to lure me to break out of the encirclement, and then set up an ambush to catch us all."
After thinking about it, Yang Duanhe felt more and more that this idea was right.
His opponent is Li Mu. Who is Li Mu?
It was impossible for him to expose such a big loophole for the Qin army to break out.
So Yang Duanhe waited and waited, and waited...
Finally, a group of soldiers came straight from the south to the camp.
Yang Duanhe shouted:
"coming!"
"All generals listen to the order and fight to the death with Zhao Jun. Don't take even one step back!"
All the generals agreed in unison and then made preparations for defense.
Soon the general realized something was wrong.
"General!" said the general: "That seems to be the flag of the Qin army!"
Yang Duanhe was stunned again, and then laughed:
"Does Li Mu think I am a three-year-old?"
"Here he pretends to be the Qin army again to confuse the public!"
"The crossbowmen are on standby..."
The crossbowmen responded and prepared their bows and arrows.
At this time, a rider suddenly appeared from the opposite team, waved a few times with a big flag with the word Qin in his hand, and shouted:
"I am Lieutenant Yang Ting of the Hanoi Military Academy!"
"Is the general okay?"
Yang Duanhe was stunned at that time.
Damn, what's going on?
Yang Ting actually came here?!
Could it be said that she defeated Zhao Jun?
Impossible, she only has 30,000 miscellaneous troops.
It’s good to be able to defend the Great Wall, but can you still defeat Li Mu?
