My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 709: Li Mu was defeated again and fled again! This is something I would never dare to do in my dreams!
Looking at the Zhao army soldiers charging bravely, Ying Chengjiao murmured slowly: "Is this a plan?"

"This is child's play!"

"Ordinary generals may do so."

"Yes, this general is Wu'an Jun of Zhao!"

Qiang Huai and others were greatly impressed by the swift counterattack of Ren You's troops, believing that Ying Chengjiao had cracked Li Mu's strategy of luring the enemy deep into their territory.

But Ying Chengjiao felt a strong sense of disharmony.

Li Mu is definitely an expert at luring the enemy deep into your territory.

In this battle, it seemed very reasonable for Li Mu to first use the strategy that made him famous.

but!
In Ying Chengjiao's opinion, the strategy of luring the enemy deep into the territory set up by Li Mu himself should definitely not be so superficial and crude!
The sudden turn and counterattack by Ren You's troops made Ying Chengjiao feel even more strange.

Ren You's troops' counterattack was too fast and decisive, as if Li Mu had known that Ying Chengjiao would not fall into the trap.

How could Ying Chengjiao not be on high alert!
After a moment of hesitation, Ying Chengjiao spoke in a deep voice: "Order our troops to force the Zhao army to surrender in order to end this battle quickly!"

"Send a message to Commander Su Jiao, no matter what the Zhao army does, they are not allowed to pursue them. They must firmly defend Houpei Mountain!"

Su Jiao was speechless when he saw Ying Chengjiao's order through flag signals.

To the west of Su Jiao's troops, although the remnants of the Zhao army fell into an ambush by the Qin army, the Battle of Changping had already left a serious psychological trauma on the Zhao army soldiers. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, the remnants of the Zhao army were unwilling to surrender.

However, Ren You's troops quickly turned around and counterattacked, providing the remnants of the Zhao army with more than a little chance of survival!

Originally, Su Jiao's troops were cooperating with Ying Chengjiao's troops to attack the remaining Zhao troops.

But in the blink of an eye, the remnants of the Zhao army cooperated with Ren You's troops to attack Su Jiao's troops!
After two breaths of silence, Su Jiao finally couldn't help but complain: "No pursuit allowed?"

"I am very lucky to be able to withstand the Zhao army's attack without being defeated."

"How can we spare the energy to pursue the Zhao army?"

"Your Majesty, you think too highly of me!"

But, who made Your Majesty think so highly of me?

How can I be unworthy of your majesty's trust!

Even if I risk my life, I will transform my troops from a passive situation of being unable to pursue the enemy to an active situation of being unwilling to pursue!
Shaking off the pieces of meat on the spear shaft, Su Jiao suddenly leaped forward, and the spear in his hand swung around the forest of spears like a snake. Then, with a shake of his wrists, the spear tip blossomed like a pear blossom, disrupting a small area of ​​the forest of spears.

"Lifu!"

Following Su Jiao's order, Li Fu, who was following closely behind Su Jiao, rushed forward. The spear in his hand followed the forest of spears swung by Su Jiao and pierced steadily and accurately into the throat of a Zhao army soldier!

The forest of spears became more chaotic. Su Jiao rushed forward along the gap opened by Li Fu. After hitting the Adam's apple of a Zhao army sergeant with the spear in his hand, he swam towards the heart of another Zhao army soldier like a dragonfly skimming the water.

After continuous stabbing and piercing, in just two breaths of time, three Zhao soldiers were killed by Su Jiao's spear!
The Zhao army soldiers were stunned by the sudden emptiness in front of them.

The sight of Su Jiao himself appearing behind the corpses of his comrades terrified the Zhao army soldiers.

Su Jiao did not stop killing, but shouted angrily: "All soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

What a brave general loves most is always fighting with small groups of troops.

A smaller number of people allows the brave generals to display their personal bravery to the fullest!
Now, although both Qin and Zhao have sent hundreds of thousands of troops, the narrow space of the pass has created an environment for small troops to fight with its geographical advantages.

Su Jiao's personal fighting ability has never been demonstrated as unprecedentedly as it is today.

The gun fired and the person died!
However, those who caused more casualties than Su Jiao were the 5,000 Qin crossbowmen standing on the hillside and firing crossbow arrows continuously!
"Charge! Keep charging forward! As long as we can rescue our comrades, we can withdraw!"

"Damn it! There's a killer blocking the road ahead, how can we charge forward! Even if we move forward, we're just lining up to die!"

"Raise your shields! The crossbows on the mountain are even more powerful. If we don't hold shields, we will all be in danger of surviving!"

"The shield soldiers have been transferred to the front line to block the killer's gun. We have no shield soldiers to protect us!"

"Did the shield soldier ever block the gun of the killer?"

“Never!!!”

Ren You's troops originally came with high morale.

They thought that they could not only save their Zhao army comrades, but also gain considerable military merit.

result……

There was a Su horn blocking the road in front, and we couldn't move forward an inch.

There are Qin crossbows shooting from above, and death is following.

Ren You's troops were unable to move and could only be blocked in the pass, passively enduring the shooting of crossbow arrows.

Many Zhao soldiers were unable to come into contact with the Qin army until their death.

How to fight like this!
Li Mu was also looking at Su Jiao, and praised him with emotion: "He is worthy of being the most powerful general of Qin."

"You are truly brave and incomparable!"

If you use human lives to pile them up, you will always be able to kill Su Jiao.

But, there is no need.

In Li Mu's opinion, war should not be confined to the gains and losses of a city or a place, nor will it change because of the life or death of one or two brave generals.

Li Mu just said calmly: "Order the captain Ren You to withdraw the troops and lure the enemy!"

"Order the rear of the commander Hu Qiong to escape on his own!"

Drums were beating and flags were flying.

The Zhao soldiers trapped in the encirclement looked despairing.

The so-called escape on their own sounds good, but why are they still trapped in the ambush of the Qin army? Is it because they don’t want to escape?

Because they can't escape at all!
"Damn it! Since the commander won't save us, we will surrender!"

"This is the Qin army! How dare you surrender! Even if you die on the battlefield, it is better than being killed by the Qin army!" "Qin Wu'an Jun is Qin Wu'an Jun, Qin Chang'an Jun is Qin Chang'an Jun. Qin Chang'an Jun has never killed surrendered soldiers, and he has never even massacred a city. Why worry about surrendering to such a kind person!"

The pressure of death, the mentality of luck and Ying Chengjiao's reputation finally suppressed the worries in the hearts of the Zhao army soldiers.

The more than 2,000 remaining Zhao soldiers no longer resisted, threw away their weapons, and knelt down to surrender!

On the east side of Su Jiao's troops, Ren You turned around and ran without any hesitation, still shouting:

"The enemy general is fierce!"

"Soldiers, withdraw!"

When a general leads the escape, it will always give the soldiers a stronger psychological shock and guidance than when the general leads the charge.

Seeing Ren You running away, the more than 10,000 Zhao soldiers under Ren You also ran away without hesitation!
His vision suddenly went blank, and Su Jiao subconsciously took two steps forward. Following his muscle memory, the spear in his hand pierced the back of another Zhao army soldier.

Looking past the dying Zhao soldier and looking at the fleeing Zhao soldiers, Su Jiao gasped for breath, his mouth wide open with an unconcealable smile: "Your Majesty!"

"I have accomplished my mission!"

Li Fu was also breathing heavily, and asked expectantly: "Captain, shall we give chase?!"

In the era of cold weapons, only a few soldiers actually died during the fighting between two armies.

The vast majority of gains were made during the pursuit.

Therefore, all the Qin soldiers beside Su Jiao looked at Su Jiao excitedly. As long as Su Jiao gave an order, they would run after the Zhao army!

However, Su Jiao shook his head without hesitation and said, "Your Majesty has already issued the order."

"Don't chase!"

"Order the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, then return to the camp and continue waiting."

Looking at the fleeing Zhao army with regret, Li Fu and other Qin army soldiers bowed helplessly: "Yes!"

After a fierce battle, the sun has set.

Under the setting sun, the Qin soldiers walked on the Xing Road like old farmers welcoming the autumn harvest.

Whenever he saw a headless corpse amidst the blood and flesh, he would happily walk up to it, half-kneel down, carefully strip off the corpse's armor, and collect all the valuables from the person.

The sound of the heads tied around the waists colliding with each other sounded the melody of harvest for the Qin soldiers.

A large number of scouts walked and climbed in the mountains, and brought back the latest information for Ying Chengjiao.

"Report!" A scout stood in front of Ying Chengjiao and reported: "Zhao Junwei Ren You's troops are completely out of control."

"Even though the Zhao army leaders shouted loudly and killed many fleeing soldiers, they still failed to control Ren You's troops."

"Under the charge of Ren You's troops, the Zhao army's formation was thrown into disarray and they retreated to reorganize their forces."

"When I returned, the Zhao army had retreated 16 miles and was still retreating."

Another scout also hurried back and said, "Commander-in-chief, we have not found any ambush troops of the Zhao army on either side of the mountain road!"

As scouts returned one by one, more and more intelligence fragments outlined the situation on the battlefield ahead.

There is no doubt that.

The Zhao army fled in a panic!

Many Qin soldiers felt regretful that they were not able to take advantage of this opportunity to win more military merits.

But the pleasure of defeating the strong with the weak still made every Qin soldier happy.

Qiang Huai could not help but shout excitedly: "We can use more than 80,000 soldiers to resist the attack of Zhao's army of hundreds of thousands."

"Not only did we not lose, we even made the Zhao army flee in panic."

"Master, victory!"

The remaining generals were all excited and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the commander-in-chief!"

Ying Chengjiao looked at the generals in surprise: "Do you all think this battle situation is normal?"

The general leading the opposing troops is Li Mu!

Li Mu, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period!
Li Mu led an army of hundreds of thousands to launch a surprise attack, but I, a general with only 80,000 soldiers, not only blocked Li Mu's attack but also forced Li Mu to flee in a panic?
Stop joking, okay?
I would never dare to do something so outrageous even in my dreams!
Qiang Huai was slightly startled, and asked cautiously, "Commander-in-chief, do you think this battle situation is abnormal?"

Every Qin general looked at Ying Chengjiao with confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.

The general leading the opposing troops was just Li Mu.

Although he once defeated the Qin army and killed Qin's general Huan Xi in battle.

But the general leading our army is Chang'an Jun, who conquered three kingdoms in a row!

Not to mention that he just defeated Li Mu by using the weak to defeat the strong and made him flee in a panic, even if Ying Chengjiao wiped out all of Li Mu's troops today, it was not impossible!
After a few breaths of silence, Ying Chengjiao murmured softly, "Does Lord Zhao Wuan think that I would have the same idea?"

"Although the two defeats resulted in the death of nearly 10,000 Zhao soldiers."

"But could this just be a prelude made by Zhao Wuan Jun to make me underestimate the enemy?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed to him.

After pondering for a long time, Ying Chengjiao gave an order in a deep voice: "Order!"

"Commander Qiang Huai led 5,000 elite infantrymen to bypass Nan'ao Mountain along Gouyao Ridge and lie in wait near Wujia Ridge!"

"Guafu!"

Ying Chengjiao looked at the fortune teller and said solemnly, "You lead a hundred soldiers from your family and bring sixty Type B baggage wagons."

"Go with Commander Qiang Huai's troops!"
