Chapter 184 Li Mu’s doubts [Please subscribe and vote]

In Yanmen Pass, Li Mu looked at the intelligence coming back from the front line and was a little confused.

"Have they given up resistance?"

Looking at the intelligence coming back from various lines, Li Mu was a little confused.

The army surrounded them, but the other party only wanted to escape and had no intention of resisting at all.

Those who didn't know better thought that their own army had a numerical advantage.

Surround three and one is missing, and open one side of the net. This is the strategy of the Central Plains to prevent the opponent from fighting even if the enemy is trapped, and the fish will die and the net will be broken.

But this time Li Mu wanted to completely annihilate the opponent. Although he also found a way to survive, it was a canyon.

As long as the frontal battlefield is over, they can continue to mobilize their armies to cut off the opponent's last way of survival and surround them in the open canyon.

Therefore, Li Mu and the entire army shogunate were a little confused.

Lou Fan sat there and waited for death, while the Xiongnu forcibly broke through to the northwest, Dan Lin broke out to the east, and Lin Hu was running around. As for the most powerful Dong Hu, the Chinese army was still in charge.

Other tribes of Hu people were also trying to encircle the strength of the army like headless flies.

"Could they be testing the weakness of our encirclement?" Sima Shang suddenly thought.

If the barbarians decide to break through, it is really possible to test the hardness of the encircling army's front, and then find a place to force a breakout.

"Do you think it's possible? Are you afraid that you won't die quickly enough?" Li Mu shook his head.

The consequences of finding one side to break through forcefully are that if you fail to break out, you will face the forcible following and annihilation by the armies from the other three sides.

This is a decisive battle for a large army, not a breakout by a small group of troops. There are absolute enemies watching between the advance and retreat. It is extremely dangerous to retreat or even just turn around. It will only destroy your own back. Give it to the enemy!

If it is a battle involving only a few thousand people or a battalion, this approach is understandable and easy to do.

But this is the turning around of hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is not so easy to complete the turning around of an army.

Therefore, Li Mu and the entire Chinese shogunate were confused by the Hu people's actions.

"The grand strategy remains unchanged, continue to encircle the Chinese army!" Li Mu thought for a while and did not intend to change the strategic tactics and remain unchanged in response to changes.

As for the Hu people's plots and traps, Li Mu didn't believe it.

Only when the frontal battlefield cannot be solved can surprise troops and conspiracies emerge.

Since the other party can't solve the troubles on the frontal battlefield and will change its formation, why should you change your own advantages?

As for the opponent who really has a way to defeat the enemy, then he can change his formation at any time, and there is no need to change the tactics he has prepared for so long.

Therefore, Touman and King Danlin, who wanted to withdraw, directly ran into the army with iron walls and were driven back to the central army.

"Damn it, King Donghu and Li Mu want to keep us all here!" Although Touman and King Danlin broke out separately, their moods are the same now.

They wanted to break out, but facing the Zhao soldiers who were waiting for them, even if the cavalry could defeat the infantry, there were conditions.

Facing a battlefield battle, if the cavalry wants to charge into the formation, they must rush in.

The most important thing that Zhao soldiers lack is the tactics to deal with the cavalry. They trap horses in pits, ride on walls, and buckle antlers one after another, giving the cavalry no chance to use their speed advantage. As for bypassing, that was exactly what he wanted, because Li Mu himself wanted to drive them towards the center position. If they went around, they would eventually return to the center position.

But whether it is King Danlin or Touman, do they dare to return to the Chinese army now?

They didn't dare. When they returned to the Chinese army, they had no doubt that they would be surrounded and suppressed by the armies of King Donghu and Li Mu.

As a result, Li Mu's encirclement advance gradually slowed down. They encountered resolute resistance from the Xiongnu and Danlin soldiers, and even fought a decisive battle, fighting to the death.

"It's strange!" Li Mu, Sima Shang and others all looked at the urgent report.

The battlefield is still so big, and it is not the time to make a desperate move. How crazy are these Huns and Danlin Hu people? They are actually fighting a decisive battle with them now, unwilling to take one more step back until death.

"What is Donghu's army doing?" Li Mu asked with a frown.

The Xiongnu and Danlin both started a deadly battle, but what about the army of King Donghu?

"The Donghu army has always been entrenched in the central position and has never moved!" Sima Shang said hurriedly.

Li Mu frowned, something was wrong!

Could it be that the Xiongnu and Danlin were so loyal and willing to sacrifice that they would use their entire clan's troops to open a hole for Donghu and let Donghu break out?

This is the only thing Li Mu can think of.

If the Central Plains army or any country's army is besieged, then if there is no hope of breaking out, our own soldiers may indeed fight to the death, opening a hole for friendly forces and the Chinese army.

But this is the grassland Hu tribe!

How could it be possible for several sworn enemy tribes that have been fighting against each other for hundreds of years since childhood to reach such a level?

To put it simply, if Han and Wei are besieged, you ask the Korean army to open a hole for the Wei army and let the Wei army leave, and the Korean army is completely wiped out. It is impossible for South Korea to do this, let alone the barbarians.

"Slow down the offensive. Since they are in a hurry to leave, we are not in a hurry. Let's see how long they can carry it!" Li Mu simply adjusted the position of the army and decided to wait for work and not rush to encircle them.

And just like that, on the third day after Li Mu made strategic adjustments, Yanmen Pass finally received the message from Yunzhong.

"The enemy's heavy supply camp has been destroyed!" Li Mu and Sima Shang passed on the information sent back by Yan Yan.

Although this was expected by them, they were still a little emotional and shocked when they got the real information.

A supply camp of [-] troops was actually destroyed by [-] cavalry. Who dares to believe it or would believe it?

However, Li Mu and others who knew the process had to admit that this was true!

Mr. Poison Master, who was invited by them to watch the battle, really did something that no one had ever done before.

"In addition, Mr. Shudong also reminded us that changes may occur in the Hu Chinese Army and the Hu Chinese Alliance may collapse. Remind us to be prepared!" Li Xin was the one sent back to summons, and there was no need to return to Yunzhong.

Because the frontal battlefield had already begun, Li Xin, as a general sent by the Qin King to observe and learn, naturally had to follow Li Mu to learn the command and use of troops.

"The Hu Alliance collapsed?" Li Mu and Sima Shang were stunned again.

This is more dangerous than changing generals on the spot. What kind of temptation did the barbarians have to do such a thing?

You must know that it is the barbarians who are surrounded now, not them. The barbarians are doing this to give themselves the opportunity to defeat them one by one!

Li Xin briefly told what happened, and then Li Mu, Sima Shang and others looked at each other, what a terrible plan.

Directly disbanding an alliance, or the collapse of a powerful enemy at the moment. No wonder they feel that something is getting more and more wrong as they fight recently. Now that they know the problem of the barbarians, everything can be explained clearly!
