In Zhao State, in a county not far from the country, Li Mu stood on the city wall, looking at the Qin army in the distance with a cool and helpless expression.
Today is the twentieth day of the war between Qin and Zhao. Li Mu has always been very concerned about the movements of the Qin army. He even came to the border as early as after Qin destroyed Han. He set up a defense line based on the topography and the direction of the mountains and rivers, full of
There is no shortage of dense stone walls, earth walls, trenches, traps, secret passages, caves for hiding soldiers, etc.
He had been preparing for this battle for at least a year. After the fall of Korea, even the drunken nobles in Handan, Zhao State, were shocked by the Qin army's fighting power.
Even in history, they removed Li Mu's officials and killed Li Mu in a desperate attempt, but it was based on Li Mu's defeat. Since they haven't won the battle yet, they naturally don't dare to fight among themselves.
With the support of Zhao Guo's senior officials, Li Mu has done a lot of practical things this year, killing several quartermasters with no backing, fully ensuring the supply of grassroots soldiers, and barely meeting the standard of two meals a day.
One primitive fortress after another, one trench after another, in short, he thought of every method he could think of, and used every method he could.
He really tried his best for this battle.
His original idea was to use the terrain to fight a defensive counterattack. He would defend in the early stage until the morale of the Qin army dropped drastically, and then lead the elite troops who had been training to fight out and win a big victory.
The idea is very good and not radical at all, but what is the result?
A good defensive counterattack turned into an encounter. The Qin army was as fast as the wind. It was ordinary for their soldiers to fly hundreds of miles in a day. They were fast and flexible, and their combat effectiveness was still very strong.
.
Often the troops in front are eaten up before the troops behind them can cooperate. No matter how good the plan is, what's the use if it can't keep up with changes?
You will lose in a head-on battle!
Hidden in the county town for defense, there was no need for general artillery. The Qin army almost jumped up the city wall one by one, and then it turned into an encounter.
Hidden in the county town, the defensive generals pulled out the cannon and fired lightly, and it became an encounter again.
In just twenty days, Zhao State lost one-third of its territory, and the Qin Army's black water dragon flag was planted on it. The reason why the Qin Army did not attack at this moment was not that they could not attack, but because
They are building roads.
In the county magistrate's mansion, Li Mu was having a meeting.
"This time the Qin State dispatched 200,000 soldiers and 400,000 militiamen. It is said to be 1.5 million menacing. What do you think?"
"It's not an opponent, it's not an opponent at all. If the formation is dense, the Qin army has artillery, and a line of soldiers will be gone after one shot. It will hurt morale. If the formation is loose, it is not an opponent of the Qin army fighting in formation." Sun Qiukai said.
This is a general who has the potential to be a master with the strength of a veteran innate master at a young age. Li Mu has always taken good care of him. He is considered a disciple of Li Mu, so he was the first to speak.
"The quality of their soldiers is really good. Anyone who joins our army can serve as a commander of ten people. He is still a very good kind. If he is a combat soldier, he can serve as a commander of a hundred people."
"I heard that the soldiers of the Qin Army have been training all day long in the past few years. I didn't believe it before, but I have to believe it now, but where did they get so much food and meat?" A certain general said in disbelief.
"Their armor is very good. Our army's weapons will only leave a trace after cutting them, unless they are elite soldiers who have begun to practice."
"But even they couldn't make a few cuts. I finally understand why the Korean army perished so quickly last year. At that time, I thought that Wei Zhuang was a straw bag, but now it seems that it is not necessarily so." Another general agreed.
Got up.
Soon the generals in the house started to add one sentence to another. However, most of the contents were similar, nothing more than how strong the Qin army was and how weak our army was.
The more they talked, the more depressed the mood of the generals became. In the end, no one was willing to speak, and they all had to look at Li Mu in the center.
Sensing the gazes of the generals, Li Mu took a long breath: "Not only that, you can know from watching the movements of each Qin army that they have a very large number of grassroots officers."
"As long as there are enough strong men, their army will fight more and more, and the efficiency of absorbing surrendered troops will be very high. So as time goes by, the distance between us and them will only become wider and wider."
"Overall, this is an all-round gap that is almost crushing. It is a gap across the ages. It can no longer be changed by one strategy or two strategies."
"The general of the Qin army is Wang Jian. I have studied his military style, and he is as steady as an old dog. It is almost impossible to find his flaws, unless he deliberately leaks them."
At this point, Li Mu also sighed. The gap was bigger than he thought. He never thought that the war could be fought like this? He underestimated the power of artillery and regretted it!
But if you calm down and think about it seriously, even if you know all the information about the artillery in advance, can you defeat the Qin army?
Can't beat it!
At this moment, Li Mu suddenly fell into hesitation. He had a solution that was not a solution. If he said it, he would feel uncomfortable. If he didn't say it, he would be disloyal.
Just when Li Mu was hesitating, a general suddenly stood up: "I have a way to gather the troops into the county and the people, and then mix the soldiers among the people.
Find a way to fight them in the street."
"If the Qin army is really as they have been propagating in recent years, then maybe the common people are our last line of defense. Besides, the people of Zhao State have long been accustomed to fighting for a living, and they may be able to defend and counterattack, so they can win.
"
"Huh? Maybe we can try General Dong's method. In this way, we don't have to be bombarded every day!"
"Yes, if the Qin army is really as innocent as they say, they can't use artillery to bombard the county and city. At worst, we don't need the outer city wall, and we will fight with them in the city. Do they want to massacre the city directly?
?”
"What if they really massacre the city? Then we won't even have the qualifications to resist. Don't forget that in the battle of Changping, the Qin army directly killed Zhao's 450,000-strong army."
"Soldiers are soldiers and people are people. If they really want to massacre the city, won't their reputation be ruined? Besides, if we take a step back and say that we are no match for the Qin army anyway, this method may still have a chance of survival."
"This is gambling, gambling with the lives of the people in the county and city. No, my purpose of joining the army was to protect my hometown from war disasters."
"Then what do you think we should do? Don't just deny it, you also have to come up with a solution. If you can't come up with it, I think this solution is quite good."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Li Mu suddenly raised his head and looked at General Dong Xingbao, who was standing proudly at the side: "Xingbao stays, let the others go out first."
Some books say that you want to see war scenes. This is actually very difficult. On the one hand, the author does not know how to write such big scenes and has never seen them. On the other hand, it is because I really don’t think that today’s
