System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 291 Head-to-head confrontation

"Tsk, I originally thought Li Mu was the same as General Lian." Wang Jian looked at the battle report and felt regretful.

Unexpectedly, Li Mu was so flexible that he was willing to make an exchange with Pang Yuan in order to successfully resist Qin.

"This is what the queen said, the country is a country and the king is the king." Wang Jian praised.

Wang Ben glanced at him angrily: "Be careful what you say!"

At such an old age, I still haven't kept my mouth shut. Fortunately, the Marquis of Ding'an is generous and doesn't care. If it is spread by a small-minded person, let's see how he ends up!

Wang Jian pressed Wang Ben's head hard and said in an evil voice: "This opportunity is rare, study hard. What do you see?"

Every war is a rare experience, let alone this kind of national war? Even if people are watching from the outside, they can still benefit a lot.

Thank you Ding'anhou for sharing the information!

"Li Mu is planning to take a dangerous position in the middle, with deep ditches and high bases, to delay the Qin army and wait for opportunities." Wang Ben said quickly.

Many fish saw that Wang Ben was so suppressed that his face was deformed, and they said, "Good performance. Why don't you let him go quickly? Your wife is the only one."

When he mentioned his wife, Wang Jian let go of his hand.

The Jingxing Mountain selected by Li Mu is part of the Taihang Mountains. Although it is not towering and high, it has a canyon passage among thousands of mountains, making it a dangerous place for military strategists.

Li Mu planned to hold on to the danger, not to attack with the whole army, but to fight a protracted war with the Qin army.

Between offense and defense, the Qin army, which was far away, naturally suffered the greater disadvantage.

His approach was similar to Lian Po's approach during the Battle of Changping. They both relied on danger to defend and waited for work at ease.

Li Mu was quite well informed. He analyzed the Qin Army's purpose through the Qin Army's division and marching direction: "The Qin Army did not come to capture the city this time, but only came to destroy our Zhao State army. Once the Zhao State Army is destroyed, , Zhao country is in danger!"

The southern route faces the hinterland army, the northern route faces the Yunzhong frontier army, and the middle route faces the main army.

This is an upright duel!

"Fight to the death!" The Zhao generals were full of blood. Thinking back to the hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers buried in Changping, their moods were agitated. They just wanted to wash the Qin army with blood to avenge their country and their family!

Li Mu concealed the complicated emotions in his heart and issued a series of military orders: "Each ministry will build strong walls and ditches within the designated defensive range, and gather many rolling wooden bow and arrowheads. The craftsman camp must dredge the waterway, and the ordnance camp must step up its efforts to build bows, crossbows, and arrowheads. The battalion carried out the general's order and immediately rushed to the hinterland counties to supervise the transportation of grain and grass..."

In general, it is to be prepared for active defense and not to rush into battle.

Deputy General Sima Shang only felt that it was a pity. General Li Mu was best at leading flying cavalry to attack long distances.

If King Zhao can do to Li Mu what King Qin did to the Marquis of Ding'an, General Li Mu can attack Qin's Jiuyuan County from the clouds and directly penetrate Hexi to compete with whose knife is faster and sharper.

Instead of surrounding the horses in the mountains and engaging in defensive counterattacks like now, this is completely to use one's own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths.

Under the attention of everyone, a month later, Wang Lu's army finally arrived at the Jingxing Mountain area.

General Wang Lu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his army leadership style is quite similar to that of Wu'an Jun Bai Qi.

A total of 200,000 Qin troops were divided into five large camps by him, and he chose to station in the middle of the two rivers.

"The strategic map provided by Marquis Ding'an is really detailed and accurate!" Wang Lu's lieutenant general loved the strategic map and couldn't put it down.

If the normal order of fighting was followed, the Qin army would first need to send hundreds of Qin soldiers to Zhao secretly to explore the distribution of rivers and water sources, and also send out scouts for repeated inspections.

But with the drawings provided by Ding'an Hou, General Wang Lu only needed to send troops to verify, saving the Qin army a lot of time.

"It's really amazing. There are even changes in the water source over the years!" The deputy general's eyes were red with envy. What a great logistical work this is!

Wang Hao was already surprised when he got these drawings. But after practical application, he couldn't help but praise her: "The world laughed at her for getting into money and losing her identity. As everyone knows, the Bashu Chamber of Commerce not only provided her with a large amount of coins, but also built a network for her all over the world. News Network!”

Wang Lu once heard Meng Zhuan mention that in the battle to destroy Chu, Ding'anhou's news network played an important role.

Now it seems that Marquis Ding'an still has many good things in his hand that he has not yet taken out.

When Wang Lu's army was deployed, he beat the war drums!

War drums rumbled, echoing through the mountains, and the sound was so loud that it made people panic.

"The Qin army is so fast?!" Li Mu was shocked by the efficiency of the Qin soldiers. Fortunately, the Zhao army was well prepared and was not afraid of the Qin army at all.

Wang Lu divided the army into five battalions. He led 80,000 Chinese troops to sit in the fourth battalion, which was in a river valley. The main purpose was to provide support to the armies and intercept Qi Yan's reinforcements.

Li Mu divided the camp into four parts. The two camps on the mountains were dominated by frontier cavalry, and Li Mu's 80,000 main force was on the front, with half of the frontier cavalry and hinterland infantry.

Li Mu's 100,000 elite frontier cavalry were forced to divide into three parts and start a mountain defensive battle.

Learning from Lian Po's experience and lessons in the Battle of Changping, Li Mu made stricter arrangements this time. At the same time, he personally sat in the rear, firstly to ensure the safety of food and grass, and secondly, to ensure the passage behind the pass so that he could contact the armies.

"Tsk, tsk." After Wang Lu learned about Li Mu's deployment, he also thought of the Battle of Changping.

In the Battle of Changping, Zhao Guo failed in two ways, one was food and grass, and the other was being surrounded.

From Li Mu's arrangements, we can see how much impact the Battle of Changping had on him.

On the fifth day after besieging Jingxing Mountain, the Qin army launched its first fierce attack.

The generals of both sides were already on the battlefield and found traces of the other side.

Looking at the cloud chariot in the distance, Li Mu gave a decisive order: "If Wang Lu comes out in person, he will give the Qin army a hard blow!"

"Li Mu's appearance will definitely cause a heavy setback for the Zhao army!" Wang Hao sternly issued the same military order.

"Kill!" Suddenly, the drums and horns were beating, and the Qin army fired their crossbows and arrows.

Arrows rained down from the sky towards the mountains on both sides and the city in front.

"Be careful!" Deputy General Sima Shang hurriedly stood in front of Li Mu and blocked the oncoming arrows with his sword.

Li Mu's eyes were dark, and he immediately recognized that this was not the regular crossbow of the Qin State: "This is the repeating crossbow of Marquis Ding'an of Bashu County!"

Qin's crossbows were already very powerful, but Marquis Ding'an's repeating crossbow was even more invincible!

Li Mu bit his lip, miscalculated!

I thought that for this attack on Zhao, the King of Qin did not send the Marquis of Ding'an, or even let the Marquis of Ding'an attend the meeting to attack Zhao. The crossbows were so valuable that the Marquis of Ding'an would not lend them all.

There were even rumors that there was a rift between the King of Qin and the Marquis of Ding'an.

But judging from the rain of arrows, even the Marquis of Ding'an provided at least nearly ten thousand repeating crossbows! No, it's possible that she directly presented the method of making a continuous crossbow to King Qin!

"Damn it! She's everywhere!" After Li Mu dodged a wave of arrows, he was greeted by another wave of rockets!
