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

Under the scorching sun, the dark military formation in the valley and the red flags on the two mountains of Guancheng were clearly visible.

The black Qin army gradually approached Guanxia. When the terrain was open, the Qin army immediately changed to an siege formation.

Inside the pass, Li Mu ordered his troops to put out the fire caused by the rocket and then prepared the entire army to fight back.

At this time, the Qin army's rockets were like fire dragons, roaring through the mountains, turning the mountains and forests into a sea of ​​​​fire in a moment.

The sudden rise in temperature indicates that the war will enter a white-hot stage.

"Attack the city -" the war drums of the Qin army sounded again, and dozens of ladders were pushed towards Guancheng by the Qin soldiers.

The outside of the ladder was wrapped with iron sheets to protect the Qin soldiers inside from arrows.

As soon as the ladder approached the city wall, the ladder immediately opened, and the Qin soldiers swarmed up, roaring.

"Attack!" Zhao Jun's fierce counterattack began!

Huge trees and rolling stones were smashed against the ladder, and red molten iron was poured from the head.

The Qin soldiers fell down the ladder wailing, and the ladder also ignited with blazing flames.

Zhao Bing, who was responsible for the rescue on the city wall, escaped the rain of arrows and pulled the wounded soldier behind the stone wall for treatment.

At the gate of the middle road, the Qin and Zhao armies were fighting hard to separate each other.

Wang Hao decisively ordered the Qin soldiers on both sides to climb the mountain and attack the Zhao army hiding on the mountain.

Because most of the Zhao troops on the mountains were frontier cavalry and lacked equipment for attacking fortresses, they practiced close combat and archery on the field.

Zhao Jun hid in the mountains, took the cold and fired arrows, and shot accurately.

Wang Hao saw that the Qin soldiers on both sides were killed by Leng Jianshe before they could even touch Zhao Jun's shadow, so he ordered his troops to retreat.

It was really embarrassing for the Qin army to be beaten like this.

"General, why don't we keep shooting and burn the mountain directly?" the Qin army general said fiercely. He didn't believe that Li Mu could still defend Jingxing Mountain after burning the mountain to the ground.

Wang Hao took out the secret order with a solemn and solemn face: "Your Majesty, there is no time limit for the battle against Zhao. Prime Minister Wang Wan also said that there is no need to worry about food and grass, Ding'an Marquis will provide a steady stream of food and grass."

"They gave many warnings and instructions, but they were afraid that our arrogant soldiers would be defeated." Wang Hao explained to everyone in detail.

"Li Mu himself is crumbling in the Zhao court. The harder we attack, the more stable his position will be as long as he is not dead. Our task is to hold Li Mu back and prevent him from returning reinforcements in time. Wait until the North Road and the South Road advance together to squeeze Zhao country, once there is civil strife in the Zhao Kingdom, we will swallow the main force of the Zhao Kingdom in one fell swoop!"

Wang Hao looked at the movement in Guancheng from a distance and sneered in his heart, what a coincidence, our Qin army also wants a protracted war!

Seeing that the Qin army slowed down the offensive, the Zhao army in Guancheng thought that their defensive strategy was working, and the Zhao army became more convinced of Li Mu.

The two armies were locked in a confrontation for several months, and the weather became increasingly cold.

The Qin army had an endless supply of food and grass, showing a posture that would wear down the Zhao army to death.

Li Mu's mood became heavier day by day.

"General, the war is stable, why are you worried?" Sima Shang felt that his general did a perfect job. Who else could perform better than him?

"What I'm worried about is not the battlefield, but the rear." Li Mu doesn't believe in fate, but the time and place are such a coincidence, what about Renhe? Will he be replaced temporarily like Lian Po?

At this time, the atmosphere in Zhao State was also very strange.

The Qin army pressed down on the border, which made everyone in Zhao inevitably recall the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Handan, and a huge psychological shadow hung over Handan.

Suddenly there was a rumor going around, saying that Pang Nuan was named Lord Linwu by King Zhao and would lead the army from the hinterland to attack the Qin army, cut off its food routes, and surround the Qin army with Li Mu!

Three days later, King Zhao did so.

Pang Yuan received the order and immediately led a team of 300 men and horses to Xindu day and night. No one expected that there would be no news from Pang Nuan. Pang Yuan's old men went to ask King Zhao, but they were dismissed.

So Pang Yuan's old men secretly went to find Li Mu, but unfortunately Li Mu had no news about Pang Yuan either.

With the Qin army in front, Li Mu and Pang Yuan's old troops had to suppress their anxiety and wait until the enemy retreated before looking for Pang Yuan.

The Qin army only harassed on a small scale every day, and never attacked with the whole army like last time. Li Mu felt more and more uneasy, and he always felt that there seemed to be some conspiracy approaching him.

Until this day, Sima Shang brought a letter from King Zhao: "The King of Zhao summoned the general to discuss the matter of resisting Qin."

Li Mu blinked in confusion: "Now?"

Once he leaves, can the Zhao army withstand the Qin army? How could the ministers of the DPRK and China agree to this?

Sima Shang: "The envoy said that Pang Yuan is expected to mobilize the coalition forces."

Li Mu's heart plummeted to the bottom, as if he was in ice, with a coldness exuding from the inside out: "It turns out that this is what Qin Jun was waiting for."

Sima Shang: "General?"

"Do you think it's credible?"

Sima Shang choked. Yan State might send troops, but Qi State would be showing mercy if it did not take the initiative to stab Zhao State in the back.

However, the Zhao army was trapped, with no food and grass, no reinforcements, and no way to advance or retreat. What if what King Zhao said was true? What if this is the last chance?

Li Mu smiled bitterly. He couldn't let these 200,000 Zhao soldiers wait to die just because of his doubts!

"That's all, I'll go." After a long silence, Li Mu strode out of the tent and got on his horse.

"General, I'll go with you!" Sima Shang gritted his teeth.

"And me!" How could the other generals not know that this was a Hongmen Banquet? But how can you bear to let the general face this heart-wrenching scene alone?

Li Mu waved his hands to everyone, turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Don't go! Stop the Qin army for me! What happened in Changping cannot be repeated! Our Zhao army only has soldiers who died in battle, and no soldiers who were captured !”

"Here!"

The roars of the generals stirred up the entire military camp.

In the distance, on the high ground of the Qin Army, Wang Hao and others looked at the lonely figure riding Juechen, as if with infinite sadness.

"Marquis Ding'an said that the biggest lesson in human history is that people never learn lessons from history." Wang Hao lamented.

"Last time, in Changping, King Zhao destroyed the moat. This time, it was even worse." The general of the Qin army had a complicated mood. As a general, he was not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but was afraid of dying like this.

Everyone fell silent. Zhao State has Lian Po and Li Mu, and Qin State also has Bai Qi? Just half a catty to eight taels.

After Li Mu left, Zhao Cong and Yan Ju took charge of the Zhao army. Sima Shang was demoted to General Yunzhong and took up the post alone.

Before Zhao Cong could straighten out his military affairs, the Qin army suddenly launched a fierce offensive!

The Qin army on the southern route made a massive advance towards the outlying fortress of Handan, and the Qin army on the northern route approached Xindu.

Zhao Jun wanted to return for reinforcements, but was blocked by Wang Lu's main force. At the same time, the Qin Army's 20,000 cavalry flying troops circled behind Zhao Jun, cutting off the connection between Zhao Jun and Handan at Jingxing Mountain.

History repeated itself once again, Zhao Jun was surrounded, and with no food and grass, he was forced to duel with Wang Lu's main force!

The main force of Zhao army collapsed!
