Qin Gong

Chapter 225 With Bai Yan's words, everyone who understood was terrified.

In Zhao Jun's camp, a soldier in Zhao armor was standing outside the camp, holding a spear and looking around vigilantly.

As the tents continued to be installed on the spot, ten Zhao soldiers patrolled the camp in the aisle in the camp, armed with long spears, to guard against any spies sneaking into the camp to assassinate the general.

And in a vacated space, countless soldiers of Zhao State sat on the ground with pained faces, and other soldiers were helping them bandage their wounds.

More than a dozen soldiers finally returned to the camp due to excessive blood loss, but they had already turned into corpses.

A soldier of Zhao State standing guard in the distance saw this scene, no one was affected by it, and there was no timidity in the eyes of the soldiers.

Perhaps this is the most different thing between Zhao Bianqi and the soldiers of other vassal states.

These soldiers are under Li Mu's command, Zhao Bianqi, who has been at war with the enemy country all year round.

"Mr. Wu An, this is the war horse that the soldiers risked their lives to take back!"

General Yifang of the Zhao State came to Li Mu's camp with two soldiers and five horses. Seeing Li Mu who came out after the soldiers reported, Yifang turned and pointed at the horses.

"The soldiers said that all the horses of Qin Qi are equipped with these."

Yifang looked at the bronze vessel hanging on the horse, pointed to the iron piece under the horse's hoof, and said to Li Mu.

In order to capture these horses, no less than [-] soldiers fought for them, and they both died in battle with the Qin soldiers. In order to cover the five horses and evacuate, more than [-] soldiers stopped Qin Qi with their deaths, and none of them came back alive.

It can be said that behind these war horses is the life of a famous soldier.

"Mr. Wu An be careful!"

"Be careful, Wu An-jun."

Under the eyes of several generals of the Zhao army, even though his right hand was disabled, Li Mu still stepped on the bronze vessel with one foot, turned the horse rope with his left hand, and got on the horse.

After riding on the horse, Li Mu looked at the horse in his hand. At this moment, he finally understood why the side cavalry under his command fought with Qin cavalry and suffered so many casualties.

Li Mu closed his eyes. Although his right hand was useless, in Li Mu's mind, he was still thinking about how a Zhao Bianqi would win against a Qin cavalry with these horses, and how to send troops to fight against Qin cavalry next time.

"This is iron!"

Zhao Jiang Huipu squatted down, held the horse's hoof in one hand, and patted the horse's calf with the other. As the horse raised the hoof, he immediately saw that the piece of iron under the horse's hoof was not a piece of copper.

The other Zhao generals who were wearing Zhao armor heard Hui Pu's words, stroked the scabbard with one hand, and came to Hui Pu's side to look.

Among these generals, there are young generals in their thirties, forties, and twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

But at the moment when they saw this, they all shook their heads and sighed.

"Qin people are so vicious!"

"If this tramples on the soldiers, I am afraid that the light one will be injured, and the severe one will die."

"I've never heard that Qin Qi was equipped with these before. Now his general is Na Bai Yan. I don't know if these are made by the Mo family or Na Bai Yan."

A number of Zhao Guo generals looked at each other and spoke.

As Zhao's generals, they naturally thought about assembling the war horses, and they even wanted to equip the war horses with armor.

But in the end, the cost was too high, and they didn't even dare to think about it.

However, they really hadn't thought about putting iron plates on the sound of horseshoes. After all, on the general battlefield, the main purpose was to prevent arrows from injuring the horses, causing soldiers to fall and be injured. Who would think of relying on horseshoes on the battlefield.

"No wonder my Zhao army suffered so many casualties. It seems that this time, Qin has been planning for a long time!"

"Yes! It's just a pity for General Zhang Lian."

"It doesn't matter, the generals of the Qin army must not have imagined that General Sima Shang has led the army along the stream on the other side of the Shaoshan Mountain and out of the mountains. General Zhang Lian has a spirit in heaven, and he will definitely see the Qin army destroyed."

Mentioning Zhang Lian, many generals of the Zhao army showed sentimentality and shook their heads and sighed.

If it weren't for the unexpected combat power of the Qin army, General Zhang Lian would not have been killed by the Qin army.

Swelling River.

On the battlefield full of corpses, Bai Yan didn't know that his horseshoe nails were specially prepared for trampling soldiers in the eyes of Zhao Jun's generals.

But maybe even if he knew, Bai Yan couldn't refute it, because the horseshoe nails did add a little power to the already hard horseshoe.

"Deputy General, there is no one at the moment, can you tell me?"

Wang Ben asked.

Just now Bai Yan once said that he knew about Li Mu's plan, but Bai Yan didn't say anything at that time, nor did he ask.

Now the corpses of the surrounding soldiers have been carried away, and only they, the generals, are here.

Chai and the others, as well as other Qin generals, also looked at Bai Yan curiously.

Bai Yan looked at the corpse on the ground, turned his head and said to Wang Ben.

"General Wang Ben, the rest of the Zhao army is probably going to raid Yanyu!"

Bai Yan told Wang Ben about the 'guess'.

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Wang Ben showed doubts.

"Yan and?"

Wang Ben thought for a while, then immediately shook his head and looked at Bai Yan: "This is absolutely impossible!"

"How could it be Yan Yu?"

"That's right, this is absolutely impossible to be Yan Yu. How could Zhao Jun know that General Wang Jian is not in Yan Yu?"

"Could it be that Li Mu deduced that General Wang Jian is not here?"

"That's unreasonable. Even if Li Mu speculates that Wang Jian is not in Yanyu, even if Li Mu has the courage to attack Yanyu, Zhao Jun has no way to go to Yanyu. How could Li Mu not know."

A general of the Qin army who was much older than Bai Yan around him shook his head and said the same thing as Wang Ben when he heard Bai Yan's words.

In the eyes of all the generals, although they don't know where the tens of thousands of Zhao Jun who disappeared have gone, in any case, it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Jun to raid Yan Yu.

There are two reasons. First, Li Mu doesn't know where General Wang Jian is, so how dare he take risks without authorization.

The second is the road to Yanyu, the nearest is the one under their feet, and the rest of the road is to the north, even if Zhao Jun goes there, it will take several days, and it is too late, how could Li Mu be so stupid.

So looking at these two reasons, it is doomed that Zhao Jun will not go to Yan and Yu.

Then Li Mu is not omnipotent, he can conjure a road out of thin air, let Zhao Guo's army bypass them, pass through this large mountain range, and go directly to Yanyu.

"It's impossible for Li Mu to never give up and marry!"

Wang Ben looked at Bai Yan and said softly.

Wang Ben didn't explain anything, because the comments from other Qin generals behind him had already said everything he wanted to say.

If it was anything else, Wang Ben did not dare to refute Bai Yan so firmly, but this matter, Wang Ben can guarantee, it must not be what Bai Yan said.

on the battlefield.

Bai Yan, who was dressed in Qin armor, was riding a war horse, listening to the words of the generals of the Qin army around him, with a pensive expression on his face.

In fact, if Bai Yan didn't know that Li Mu had indeed asked Sima Shang to attack Yanyu, he wouldn't have believed it.

Bai Yan asked softly.

"There is no road, how can there be streams and rivers passing through the mountains?"

Bai Yan looked at Wang Ben.

After the words fell, the other Qin generals around looked at Bai Yan and breathed a sigh of relief. All along, they had heard about Gao Nu's deeds, and they always thought that Bai Yan, who was born in the Bai family, had an extraordinary strategy.

Moreover, before Bai Yan led the army, he came here without hesitation to seize the opportunity, which made them dare not even have the slightest thought of underestimating him.

But now hearing Bai Yan's question and looking at the young Bai Yan, they couldn't help laughing in their hearts.

Bai Yan is indeed very good at employing troops, but he is still young and lacks experience and common sense in leading troops.

Even if there is a stream, could it be that Zhao Jun can use the river to cross the mountains?

how can that be!

"General, it seems that there is indeed a small stream on the other side of Shaoshan."

Chai, Xi Yuan and the others, because they were Qin Bianqi and had been at war with Zhao Bianqi all the year round, had seen the map of Zhao land countless times.

Xi Yuan and others tried hard to recall, and finally told Bai Yan that there was indeed a stream.

Accompanied by Xi Yuan's voice fell.

Bai Yan nodded.

"That's the stream!"

Bai Yan raised his head and looked at the crowd.

In fact, Bai Yan didn't know much about Zhao Guo, and he didn't even know if there was a stream leading to Yanhe.

But knowing Li Mu's actions and adding Xi Yuan's words, he immediately confirmed it.

It must be the stream!
Li Mu must have passed through that stream to let Sima Shang lead his army to raid Yanyu.

"Deputy General, that's absolutely impossible. I have the impression that the stream is not as good as the Zhangshui River, but it's also fast-moving. In addition, there are green shrubs on both sides. It's absolutely impossible for Zhao Jun to go there."

A Qin general in his forties named Xue Shun said to Bai Yan.

As for Xue Shun's words, other generals looked at Bai Yan one after another.

"General Bai Yan, although there is a river, the Zhao army has at least tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers. It is impossible to pass through that river, even with light clothes!"

Listening to Xue Shun's words, Wang Ben said to Bai Yan.

The most taboo thing for a leader is to travel through mountains, rivers and rivers, because supplies are difficult and travel is difficult.

Hirano.

Following Wang Ben's words, the surroundings became quiet, Xue Shun and other generals all looked at Bai Yan, everyone felt that Bai Yan must be thinking too much this time.

Bai Yan, who was dressed in Qin Jia, didn't rush to answer the crowd, but thought about it.

After a while.

Amidst everyone's comments, Bai Yan suddenly raised his hand, pointed to the sky, looked at everyone, and asked softly.

"If that stream is dry!"

Bai Yan's plain question fell on the ears of all the generals, and almost instantly, everyone was stunned in place, and then the pupils in his eyes slowly revealed expressions of fear.

Until then, they didn't think about it.

Zhao Guo!

It has been dry year after year!

Thinking of this, think of Bai Yan's words just now.

Zhao Jun has already detoured and raided Yanyu! ! !
At this moment, not to mention Wang Ben, even Xue Shun and other generals of the Qin State felt scalp troubles and their bodies were extremely cold.

Under the scorching heat, everyone felt as if they were facing an ice cellar, and a touch of fear emerged in everyone's hearts.

Their perception of that river is on the map, and Li Mu is from Zhao, and the Zhao army led by Li Mu is close to Shaoshan, so they can definitely send people to observe that river.

"The big thing is not good, General Bai Yan, hurry to help!"

Wang Ben in Qin Jia and Jue Bian on his head.After regaining consciousness at this moment, she looked at Bai Yan with a pale face, completely different from just now.

Thinking of Yan Yu, only General Yang Yan's [-] soldiers and horses, if Sima Shang led tens of thousands of Zhao troops to kill, and cooperated with Yan and Zhao's guards in the city, Yang Yan's [-] Qin troops would be wiped out in an instant. At that time, Sima Shang will surround them from the back of Yan and Rao, and everyone here will have no way out.

thought here.

For the first time, Wang Ben was full of panic and fear.

That Li Mu is too terrifying, almost, if not for Bai Yan, really almost, everyone here will die in Li Mu's hands.

"Okay! I will lead the iron cavalry to help, but I will trouble General Wang Ben to send someone to inform Zhao Jun to come over and bury the corpse!"

Bai Yan nodded.

Seeing Wang Ben and others' embarrassing faces and frightened eyes, Bai Yan didn't find it strange, because when he thought about the weather, he also had scalp troubles and goosebumps popped out.

No one would have thought that Li Mu had guessed that Wang Jian was not in Yanyu, and no one would have paid attention to another inconspicuous stream among the distant mountains.

Not to mention years of drought!
Every detail, if he hadn't known about Li Mu's plan and worked backwards from the result, he wouldn't have thought of so much at all.

Turning the stream into a mountain path is such an ingenious stroke, it's hard for Bai Yan to imagine that it was conceived by a human being.

No wonder Li Mu is a famous general, Qin Guohui was defeated by Li Mu one after another.

"it is good!"

When Wang Ben heard Bai Yan's words, he immediately realized that Bai Yan's actions were to lower Zhao Guo's vigilance.

After all, as long as the soldiers of the Zhao army bury their corpses here, they will see that the soldiers of the Qin army are still here.

As for the good name, Wang Ben didn't think he, a Qin general, would care about the goodwill of those Zhao people.

Goooooooo~!

Wang Ben watched Bai Yan turn around on horseback, ready to leave, and thought about it.

"General Bai Yan, you must be careful on this trip!"

Wang Ben said.

Wang Ben knew that Sima Shang's army had at least tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers, while Yang Yan's army had only [-] soldiers.

In front of Bai Yan and the army of iron cavalry, going to Yanyu may inevitably lead to a fierce battle, and unlike here, in Yanyu, there is no help from the terrain.

But right now, only Bai Yan can win and break the game.

"Yes, General Wang Ben should also be careful of Li Mu!"

Bai Yan turned his head and said to Wang Ben.

After speaking, Bai Yan led Chai, Xi Yuan and other cavalry generals towards the cavalry army.

Wang Ben and other generals of the Qin State rode their horses in place, watching Bai Yan's back as he left.

Looking at Bai Yan's young back at this moment, Xue Shun and other Qin generals were filled with emotion.

Bai Yan's return from this trip must be a bloody battle.

But Xue Shun and the others also knew that if Bai Yan could lead the cavalry army on this trip, he would successfully return to aid Yanyu and resist Sima Shang's Zhao army.

Then this fight will definitely make Bai Yan's reputation soar.

Let's not talk about other countries in the world, just in the Qin Dynasty, the king will definitely use Bai Yan again.

Don't look at this time it's just a simple fight with Zhao Guo, but the opponent is Li Mu!

Even General Wang Ben didn't notice Li Mu's plan, so one can imagine how terrifying Li Mu was.

But Bai Yan was able to fight against Li Mu, and saw through Li Mu's plan, so he didn't fall for it.

It is conceivable that regardless of whether this attack on Zhao is successful or not, the confrontation between Bai Yan and Li Mu will definitely be noticed by the King.

"Come on!"

Wang Ben was riding a war horse, and after seeing Bai Yan leading a group of cavalry generals to leave, he turned his head and shouted.

Hearing Bai Yan's yelling, he was wary of his cronies in the distance, and hurriedly rode to Wang Ben's side, bowing his hands in salute.

"Arrange the soldiers to go to Zhao Jun's camp and tell Zhao Jun that the deputy general has something to say. If Zhao Guo does not attack and fight today, he can order someone to come to bury the corpse."

Wang Ben ordered to his cronies.

In the words, Wang Ben specifically asked his cronies to tell Zhao Jun that Bai Yan said these words.

At this moment, Wang Ben was also thankful that he had exposed the stirrups of the iron cavalry officers to Zhao Jun in advance. Otherwise, Zhao Guo's army might send troops to fight today.

"promise!"

Wang Ben's confidants accepted the order, then turned around and left on horseback.

Seeing this, Wang Ben looked in the direction of the well.

If Bai Yan hadn't been aware of Li Mu's plan, he would have died in Li Mu's hands like General Huan Jue, and all the soldiers of the Qin Army.

Thinking of Li Mu's frightening speculation and courage, as well as frightening decision-making and planning.

If Li Mu is not dead, Zhao Guo will never be destroyed!

With a worried sigh, Wang Ben turned his head and led Xue Shun and other generals towards the camp.

　Li Mu didn't know that Bai Yan arrived at Zhangshui River ahead of time to stop him.
