Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 24 The war is about to break out!
It was past noon, and the drizzle was drizzling with chill.

Li Mu, wearing black armor and a red cloak, ran out of the palace of King Zhao on horseback.

Under the stone steps of the palace, deputy generals Sima He and Yan Ji saw him coming out. They quickly stood upright and raised their hands: "General!"

"Set off."

Li Mu, with a solemn expression on his face, quickly walked down the stone steps, and when he passed the two of them, he waved his hand to tell them not to be polite.

Running all the way out of the palace gate, he saw the whole team of guards gathered together. The retainer led the chariot. Li Mu climbed onto the chariot and turned slightly to look in the direction of the palace. The excitement in his heart was completely suppressed.

King Zhao has promised that if Wang Lu's army is destroyed, he will be named Wu'an Lord of Zhao.

"Huh!" Li Mu exhaled, turned slightly to look at the two lieutenants waiting for orders, and asked in a deep voice: "Are the troops and horses ready?"

Sima He was majestic and majestic, raised his tiger eyes, clasped his fists with both arms and shouted: "It's ready, just wait for the general's order!"

Sima He looked at Li Mu in front of him, his heart full of excitement.

The man in front of him was already a figure like the God of War of the Zhao Kingdom.

Sima He didn't have any extra thoughts, only excitement and impatience. The man in front of him had anticipated this situation three years ago.

Probably only such a god-like man can pull Zhao Guo back from the edge of the abyss and become invincible!

On the chariot, Li Mu's tense face became more and more majestic, and he pressed the shaft of the chariot with his hand: "Let's go."

The driver tightened the reins and urged the horse to move forward slowly. The two men behind him followed suit, and the assembled guards stepped out in neat steps.

Walking along the main road in Handan, Zhao people came to the door one after another and looked up at Li Mu on the carriage.

"The general will triumph."

"Destroy Qin's dog and avenge our 50 sons of Zhao."

"I wish the general a speedy victory!"

"The army will triumph soon!"

People, old and young, stood at the door with ardent expectations on their faces. Li Mu held the shaft of the car and nodded firmly to the people on both sides with his tight face.

Not long after, Li Mu walked out of the west gate of Handan and came to a high slope facing the military camp. Li Mu heard the beating of war drums, echoing in the gloomy rainy day.

Several black torrents shot out from the camp gate, passing through the ruins of the Qin army's camp with overwhelming momentum.

There are many flags.

The men and horses were in a state of silence.

Li Mu turned around and ordered to Sima He and Yan Ji behind him: "You should go too, join the Chu and Wei armies, and bite Wang Lu's army firmly. We will meet at the east of the river."

Sima He and Yan Ji cupped their hands: "No!"

After saying that, Sima He tightened the reins and Pegasus ran to the rear, holding his spear high in the air and roaring like thunder: "Let's go!"

The tip of the gun sliced ​​through the air.

One thousand Zhao army chariots and [-] bearded knights ran with him with the roar of horse hooves.

The raindrops fell from the sky and were smashed into pieces by the speeding chariots and horses. The iron pieces of the armor collided in the running...

On the other side, there are 13 Chu and Wei coalition troops.

Huang Xie and Wei Wuji stood in silence with solemn expressions.

On the official road, countless flags were meandering, and the sound of footsteps rushing like a torrent rolled back.

under the rain.

This is a picture of a fierce battle and an iron horse.

Wei Wuji stretched out his hand to catch the cold raindrops and said:

"Tanma came to report that most of the vanguard of Wang Lu's army has entered the Changping area, and there are no signs of the rest of the army setting up camp to rest. Wang Lu should be planning to retreat to Hedong in one fell swoop while his morale is at its peak."

Huang Xieyan nodded and looked at the advancing army, and answered in a loud voice like a bell: "Li Mu has sent a message. Zhao's [-] cavalry army has left Handan. Most of us are infantry. It seems we need to speed up. If Otherwise, the strength of the Three Kingdoms will be scattered and Wang Hao will take the opportunity to counterattack."

"What the Lord said is true." Wei Wuji replied casually, a hint of murderous intent flashed between his eyebrows. If my army of soldiers is still there, why should I fear Wang Lu's army?
In an instant, Wei Wuji thought of Ying Jun and Li Cunxiao, and said to himself: "What a pity..."

……

at the same time.

Letter to Liangcheng.The carriages and horses are like dragons, and the crowds are buzzing.

The dark army was marching out of Xinliang City, loaded with provisions and grass. The morale of the army was low, and the flags were hanging down feebly.

In the green rain curtain, Yingjun Zhuma looked north on the hillside, and water droplets fell on the iron armor along his rough face.

The dense array below him stood silently in the rain, like black statues. There were occasional sounds of weapons clashing, and the atmosphere became solemn.

"The spies came to report that Li Mu has led an army of [-] chariots and cavalry to set off, and the Wei and Chu coalition forces have also begun to march."

"We divided our troops into two groups. The Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun led the Xinliang and Hangu armies to escort the grain and grass back to Hangu. We made as much noise as we wanted along the way, so that everyone would know that we were waiting for the army to return to Qin. .”

"In secret, I led the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Wei army on my back, traveling day and night, secretly rushing to the land east of the river."

Yingjun raised his head and stretched out his hand to connect the thread connecting heaven and earth. When it fell into Yingjun's eyes, he became more and more awake while suppressing the surging impulse in his heart.

Whenever there is a big event, you need to be calm.

The rest of the people did not speak. Yan Yi pressed the long knife on his waist and opened his mouth, but in the end he still clasped his fists and replied with a firm face: "We will definitely live up to the master's trust!"

In the green color, Yingjun stroked the excited Wuzui horse. He saw Yan Yi's expression in his eyes and understood that Yan Yi wanted to persuade him to bring more troops.

It's just that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Wei Army were in danger.

But he was indeed unable to lead other armies. Neither Hangu nor Xinliang's army could meet his marching speed.

It would be a drag to carry it.

In particular, the Zhao people are not fools. If he takes away too many men and horses, it will be easily noticed by Zhao Guo.

At this moment, Yingjun saw thousands of riders rushing towards the north through the rain curtain.

He raised his hand and waved the flag behind him. The torrent of five thousand horsemen rushed to the bottom of the hillside and slowed down to the side of the tens of thousands of Wei army formations on the other side.

"Stop -" the orderer waved his flag and shouted.

In the wasteland at the foot of the hillside, the rain curtains of cavalry charges drifted away like mist. When they finally stopped neatly like mountains, the monotonous sound of horse hooves was still ringing.

The horse's hooves splashed up the mud on the ground, and in his hazy vision, a thin figure rushed up the hillside on a war horse.

sigh -

The scarlet cloak fluttered in the wind and rain. The thin figure in iron armor reined in his horse and turned over to dismount. The armor leaves made a clanging sound as he walked. He came to Yingjun, raised his arms, and sounded like a bell:
"Lord, all the Zhao scouts and cavalry in the north have been killed and dispersed, and the Zhao troops in the city have also been properly dealt with."

"The army can set off!"

Yingjun stroked Wu Zui's wet mane and looked at the neatly stretched army array below.

Ten years of guarding Hangu made Yingjun's handsome face rough. His tall figure shook off his armor, and his cold, deep eyes under his thick eyebrows scanned the thousands of warriors below.

Fifteen thousand armored troops.

He is going to make a huge gamble with this absolutely loyal army!
"Send the order to the whole army." He tightened the reins, turned the horse's head to the east, and waved his halberd: "Let's set off -"

woohoo-

The horn is sounding!

……

It was the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 58th year of King Zhou's pardon.

General Li Mu of Zhao State, together with Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling of Wei State, and Huang Xie, Lord Chunshen of Chu State, formed an army of nearly 20 on horseback and foot, advancing directly towards the east of the river without any detours.

On December [-]th, two groups of troops passed through the State of Zhao and passed through Zhangshui and Lushui. Five days later, the troops reached the Changping line.

As for the Qin army, Wang Lu's army, totaling 25, had just crossed Shaoshui at this moment.

The Qin and Zhao coalition armies were less than two hundred miles away from each other. From a high altitude, one could clearly see the smoke and dust of the two armies marching.

The flames of war are almost everywhere.

however……

December 25th.

Jubin Mountain, the woodcutter on the mountain stood at the foot of the mountain and saw the shocking scene among the mountains in the distance.

A stretching armored army, like a long black dragon along the Juyi Mountains, passed through the valley silently and ferociously, completing a large detour, and detoured towards the rear of the Wei, Chu and Zhao allied forces in the direction of the eldest son...
