Qin Gong

Chapter 274 Li Mu's Death!

On the road from Jingxing North Road to Jingxing South Road, a carriage escorted by [-] Zhao Bianqi was driving along the official road.

The soldiers of Zhao Bianqi, wearing Zhao Guo's armor and carrying bows and crossbows, rode rapidly on the official road.

The carriage with the Zhao flag on it was also bumping constantly due to its high speed.

One can tell at a glance that the feeling of sitting in a carriage is probably more tiring than riding a horse.

However, when passing by a mountain and river.

Suddenly, countless men wearing common clothes and holding bows appeared on both sides of the valley. As soon as they appeared, they shot arrows at Zhao Bianqi at the bottom of the valley.

Whoosh~! !
Accompanied by the sound of arrows breaking through the air.

In an instant, Zhao Bianqi, who was running around on horseback, and many Zhao Qi officers and soldiers were hit by arrows and screamed, and then fell off the horse.

Zhao Bianqi, who had reacted, felt his heart tighten. The well-trained them all reined in their horses and surrounded the carriage. looking ahead.

"There is an ambush! Withdraw!!"

The leader, General Zhao Bianqi, looked at those people above the canyon in horror.

This general was not afraid of death, the reason why he was terrified was because he felt that these people came prepared, and their goal was Lord Wu An who was sitting in the carriage.

In Zhao country!
Someone dared to kill Lord Wu An!
Who has the guts!

However, after his order was given, and the arrows kept coming, the carriage just turned around, and there were already countless men with bows on both sides of the mountain and river roads, far more than Zhao Bianqi like them.

see this scene.

Zhao Bianqi raised his bow to fight back one after another, and shot away with the arrows, killing many ambush soldiers in an instant.

However, despite the well-trained, although the lethality caused by the curved bow far exceeded those of the ambush soldiers, Zhao Bianqi was killed and wounded all over the place within a short period of shooting when the number was far insufficient and he was surrounded.

Even General Zhao Qi, who had just ordered the order, was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, staggered for a moment, and suffered severe pain.

"Protect Lord Wu An!"

General Zhao Qi held a sharp sword and looked palely at the men in black.

At this moment including him, there are only less than 20 Zhao Bianqi around the carriage.

Inside the carriage.

Li Mu closed his eyes and listened to the movement outside. After a long time, he sighed and shook his head.

It's time to come!
Knowing that he couldn't escape, Li Mu got up slowly, opened the curtain, and went outside the carriage.

Li Mu looked around the carriage, the corpses of Zhao Bianqi's soldiers were all over the ground, looked at the only remaining Zhao Bianqi, and gradually turned his eyes to the men in black in the distance.

"Heaven will kill Zhao!"

At this time, Li Mu was still holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

After glancing at the bamboo slips, Li Muhong turned his head and looked into the distance, there were Yanmen and Daidi.

As a veteran of the three dynasties of the Zhao Kingdom, why did Li Mu not know that bows and crossbows are different from sharp swords, which are forbidden by all vassal states.

And these men in ambush have such a large number of crossbows, how could Li Mu not understand what they represent.

And this scroll of bamboo slips!

Along the way, with one hand disabled, no matter how fast or bumpy the carriage was, he never let go of the other hand of the bamboo slips. At this moment, Li Mu slowly let go.

Accompanied by the bamboo slips falling to the ground.

Just like the memories of his life in Li Mu's mind.

When he was young, he was a general of Zhao, served as Prime Minister of Zhao, and later became a general, and now he is named Wu'an Jun.

Throughout their lives as soldiers and horses, they have never failed the State of Zhao and the people of the State of Zhao.

Whether it was fighting the Xiongnu, Wei, Yan, or Qin, Zhao was defeated in none of the battles, and he bowed to the essence of Zhao.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!"

In the canyon, countless howls and killing sounds resounded.

Li Mu looked around, those ambushing men rushing forward.

Li Mu understands that today he is doomed not to leave here alive, and the disability of his right hand makes it an extravagant hope for him to kill himself right now.

After a while.

When all the remaining Zhao Bianqi were killed by those ambushing men, Li Mu stood in front of the carriage without saying a word. Before he died, Li Mu looked in the direction of Bairen for the last time.

In the canyon, as everything returned to calm, the scorching sun shone on the carriage. Li Mu was covered with arrows and slowly fell down on the carriage.

Countless civilian men surrounded the carriage, standing beside Zhao Bianqi's corpse all over the ground, looking at Li Mu's corpse.

At this moment.

Along with many commoner men to get out of the way, a masked man came over, and he got up after confirming Li Mu's true face.

Before leaving, the masked man glanced at the roll of bamboo slips on the ground from the corner of his eye, then turned and left as if he hadn't seen it.

Seeing this, the other civilian men turned around and left together.

In the mountains thirty miles west of Zhishui River.

As the Qin army rested in place, countless dense camps appeared in an instant in the originally empty place.

Around the camp, there were rows of five or ten patrolling soldiers holding long daggers and walking back and forth.

From a distance, people can't help but marvel at the scale of this camp.

After dark.

A bonfire was lit in the camp.

Holding Qin Jian in his hand, Bai Yan waited quietly in the tent.

At this moment, as the supreme commander of the entire Qin army battalion, Bai Yan is responsible for Qin's attack on Zhao, which is the most critical battle of success or failure, so he dare not relax a bit.

Holding a sword in one hand, while kneeling, from sunset to night.

Bai Yan has been waiting for news.

"Report! General, the sentry has guarded the intersection along the way and ambushed in the trail."

"Report! General, there is news from the sentry on the upper reaches of the River Zhishui River that they have found a place to cross the river!"

"Report! General, the rations are ready!"

As the night progressed, the soldiers brought news one by one, letting Bai Yan know that everything was going according to plan.

"General! The cavalry officers and soldiers have all rested and can leave at any time!"

At this time, an iron cavalry officer came to the tent and reported to Bai Yan.

heard.

Bai Yan nodded, knowing the current situation like an arrow on the string.

"Go, go to the cavalry camp!"

Holding the sword, Bai Yan got up and walked out of the tent, followed by the cavalry officers.

At this moment in the darkness of night.

All the soldiers in the army had already rested early after they learned that they might fight the next day.

In the iron cavalry camp, [-] iron cavalry officers and soldiers, under the leadership of Ye, are already ready to go.

See Bai Yan coming.

Ye and others looked over one after another.

"General!"

"General!!"

In the dark night, all the cavalry officers and soldiers looked at Bai Yan one after another.

Bai Yan nodded.

"Tomorrow, when you go around and pull out the camp, when you make meritorious deeds, a box of gold has been prepared, and Bai Yan is waiting to celebrate for you all!"

Bai Yan looked at these cavalry soldiers in the night, and said with a smile.

Different from other generals, Bai Yan, who also came from the military service, knows how to mobilize the emotions of the soldiers at the moment.

"Thank you, General!"

"Thank you General!!"

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he heard the excited laughter of the soldiers.

Who doesn't like gold in this world.

More importantly, all the iron cavalry soldiers knew that even if they died in battle tomorrow, the generals they were following now would not treat their families badly.

They all followed Bai Yan all the way here.

They dare not say what kind of heart is any other general in the world, but this general in front of them, they know, is the only one who will never treat them badly.

At the time of Gaonu, the general took out his own rewards, divided them, and sent them to the counties together with the armor of the fallen soldiers.

behind these things.

There is one more thing, although the general didn't say it, they all know it.

"General, General Wang Ben has replaced all the soldiers standing guard and patrolling with our cavalry soldiers!"

At this moment, Chai came over from a distance and said to Bai Yan.

With the assistance of General Wang Ben just now, Chai has already sent iron cavalry soldiers to transfer all the patrolling soldiers in the camp to the other side under the pretext of spreading rumors and needing to investigate.

Now the iron cavalry officers and soldiers left the camp quietly, and everything was done without anyone noticing, even Zhao Jun's spies would not be aware of it.

"it is good!"

Bai Yan nodded when he heard Chai's words, and then looked at Ye.

"Tomorrow, Zhao Ying must be pulled out!"

Bai Yan said to Ye.

As one of Bai Yan's confidantes, Ye, as long as he does meritorious service this time, it will be a great achievement. In addition, Ye also participated in the separation in Handan, and when Zhao is destroyed one day, Ye can also be alone.

If the iron cavalry expands in the future, Bai Yan doesn't like to transfer people from the camps in other counties, especially those from the gentry.

Bai Yan even more hoped that these soldiers who had been with him through life and death would be promoted step by step and take charge of their own affairs.

"promise!"

Ye raised his hand to salute Bai Yan, and then looked at Bai Yan: "Don't worry, general, even if Ye dies on the battlefield tomorrow, the soldiers will pull out the Zhao camp and break through the formation of the Zhao army!"

Ye is not a fool, how could he not feel how the general treats him.

When he received the order, Ye was ready. This time, either Zhao Ying would be broken, or he would die in front of the Zhao people, and he had no intention of retreating.

"I want you to break Zhao Ying alive! Let's go!"

Bai Yan looked at Ye and said softly.

"promise!"

Ye cupped his hands again, looked at Bai Yan, then turned around and led three thousand cavalry soldiers, leading the horses and walking towards the outside of the camp.

Bai Yan, Chai and the others stood in place, watching under the bright moon, the figures of three thousand cavalry left the camp one after another.

Soon.

When those figures and slight sounds disappeared into the distant night.

Bai Yan just turned his head and looked at a soldier.

"Go and tell General Wang Ben that the person has been found, so there is no need to interrogate him!"

Bai Yan ordered.

The iron cavalry officers received the order, turned and left.

"Go down and rest, tomorrow we will go to the battlefield and fight Zhao Jun!"

Bai Yan looked at Chai and the others.

"promise!!"

Chai and other generals handed over their orders one after another.

After a while.

When Bai Yan returned to the commander's tent again, the entire camp had been restored to its original state. Most people, including those Qin soldiers who were on guard, did not know that just now, three thousand cavalry soldiers had taken advantage of the darkness to leave. camp.

Day two.

With a faint gleam of brightness in the sky, the night has not completely receded.

Outside the Qin army camp, a man hurriedly rode to the gate of the camp. After being stopped by the Qin soldiers standing guard, the man took out Bai Yan's token from his arms.

Seeing the token, Qin Zu naturally would not block the way again.

Soon the man came outside Du Baiyan's tent, and after the notification, he saw Bai Yan.

"General, this is news from Jingxing!"

The man said, and handed the two bamboo sticks to Bai Yan.

After Bai Yan took it, he looked at the content written on the two bamboo sticks.

"Li Mu is dead! He died on the way to the North Road. Rumors spread among the Zhao army, saying that Zhao Cong and King Zhao conspired to kill Li Mu!"

After reading the two bamboo slips, Bai Yan's eyes were full of complexities.

Li Mu is really dead! !
For Li Mu, Bai Yan felt both admiration and fear, and more helplessness.

If it weren't for Li Mu's reluctance to surrender to Qin, if it wasn't for Li Mu's strategy of leading the army to be really scary, who would want to kill such a general.

Put aside the war with Qin Weiyan.

Li Mu wiped out [-] Xiongnu, wiped out the chānlán, defeated Donghu, and surrendered Linhu.

These not only protected the country of Zhao, but for the people of the entire Central Plains, Li Mu's actions did not protect the people of the entire Central Plains.

Before Li Mu.

Nomadic tribes such as the Xiongnu and Linhu have often gone south to plunder since hundreds of years ago.

"General Li Mu, the Central Plains needs to be unified, and the world needs to be integrated!"

Bai Yan thought in his heart, and put the bamboo slips on the wooden table.

Now the whole world needs the same track and the same text as soon as possible. Under such circumstances, Li Mu can't stop him, and he can't capture Li Mu alive.

Indeed, the only way to kill this.

thought here.

Bai Yan felt a little better in his heart, after all, Bai Yan respected and admired Li Mu from the bottom of his heart for such a famous general who resisted foreign races.

"Come on! Give me an order, after the army has breakfast, assemble immediately!"

Bai Yan stood up and gave orders to the outside of the tent.

Li Mu was killed, and now there are rumors among the Zhao army, even if Zhao Cong forcibly stabilizes the army's morale, it will be stable for a while.

If Zhao Jun does not retreat at this moment, after he leads Qin Jun across the river.

Zhao Jun will be defeated!

"Go down and rest first! There will be a reward for you later!"

Bai Yan turned to look at the man delivering the letter.

"No! Thank you General!"

Hearing Bai Yan's words, the man's tired face disappeared instantly, he cupped his hands excitedly at Bai Yan, then turned and left.

After half an hour.

In the Qin State camp, the soldiers who received the order ate in a hurry, and then gathered together with long spears.

"Do you really want to fight?"

"It looks like it is! General Bai Yan seems to really plan to fight Zhao Jun!"

"Do you really want to cross the river and fight Zhao Jun?"

Before the other generals came, countless soldiers gathered together and discussed with each other.

Soon, there will be more than these soldiers.

The generals gathered in threes and fives in the distance also looked at each other worriedly at this moment, discussing in low voices.

"The other side of the river is a place of death!"

"Exactly! Officer, you were single-handedly promoted by General Feng Jie. General Feng Jie admires you very much, why don't you persuade me!"

"Don't look at me, I mentioned it once, but General Feng Jie said to follow General Bai's orders!"

Generals dressed in Qin armor and wearing Qin sword gathered together, thinking about what to do now.

These generals of the Qin Army had all seen the terrain on the other side of the Zhishui River, and knew that crossing the river to fight would put them in a very dangerous situation.

They were all worried.

This time, following General Na Bai to cross the river, he might die on the other side of the river.

"Stop talking, the general is here!"

Suddenly there was a sound, and all the generals of the Qin Army turned their heads to look, and they saw General Bai Yan, General Wang Ben, and General Feng Jie coming on horses in the distance.

And at this moment, with the sound of iron hooves all over the sky, everyone saw that in the iron cavalry camp in the distance, the iron cavalry army swarmed out, all left the camp, and rushed towards Jingxing.
