Chapter 382: Switching sides in battle [Please subscribe*Please vote monthly]

This is an all-or-nothing battle, and Bingzhou has spent all his resources to attack Donghu Royal Court. It is a battle that can only be won, not defeated.

This is also limited by the size of Bingzhou. Bingzhou has just been established as a country, and its national strength is simply unable to fight a protracted war with Donghu.

In other words, even if Donghu's attack fails this time, they can still wait for the next year and the next time.

But as long as Bingzhou fails once, it will be the destruction of the country!
The most important thing is that if Bingzhou continues to win steadily, then Yan, Zhao, and Qin will be willing to send troops to support it. Once Bingzhou's situation declines, the armies of the three countries will inevitably withdraw from the battle and stabilize the borders.

Therefore, Li Mu also saw Yan Yan's helplessness. Perhaps Yan Yan did not want to adopt such an extreme strategy, but reality required him to do so.

He wants to destroy the entire grassland and destroy it, so that all countries can see the opportunity to take advantage of it.

"This fucked up world, this fucked up politics!" Li Mu cursed, not sure whether he was scolding Zhao Guo or someone else.

But what he was most worried about was that when the Yanmen Pass army was confronting King Tu He, Handan suddenly sent a message asking him to lead the troops back.

In that case, the unchecked King Tu He's army will inevitably march straight into the Third Prince's City.

"Fierce oil!" He picked up the greasy black rain and put it between his nose and smelled it. Hu Dan immediately recognized that this was not black rain, but something that had a combustion-supporting effect and was difficult to extinguish with water. Fierce fire oil!
"Withdraw, quickly, get out of the camp!" Hu Dan hurriedly shouted with powerful internal force and ordered the whole army to evacuate the camp immediately.

Hu Dan looked up at the sky and discovered that flocks of birds were flying in the sky at some point. The birds had earthen jars on their claws and threw them towards their camp.

If Handan really wants him to withdraw his troops, then he can only disobey the emperor's order, take over the army, and continue to command the army to confront King Tu He.

"Swish, swish, swish~" The flaming red arrow rain fell towards the camp in an instant, and in conjunction with the falling black rain, in just an instant, the entire camp was ignited, burning the whole camp!

When he gave the order, a well-dressed army appeared from both sides of the camp. In front of the army were archers guarded by armored men, bending their bows and setting arrows, and the arrows were also wrapped with lit torches.

After receiving the battle order, the Three Thousand Cavalry Division and the Yulin Guards had already begun to assemble to encircle and suppress the Hu Dan Division who had walked into the ambush circle.

It was impossible for Yan Yan not to see this, so why did Yan Yan dare to plan like this?

However, the war waits for no one. No matter what other people were thinking, all the military camps and schools that received the military order also started to move.

"Is it raining?" Hu Dan felt the corners of his face were cold and subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the falling raindrops, but his expression suddenly changed.

However, Hu Dan reacted quickly, but it was too late.

In the middle surrounded by the birds, there are several huge flaming red machine birds directing the birds to throw.

Based on Li Mu's understanding of those people in Handan who eat corpses, Handan can definitely do this kind of thing!
"He is betting on me!" Li Mu sighed.

Black rain!

Otherwise, as long as a spark falls, they will become a whole lamb roasted in the fire.

The bottom line is that Yan Yan is betting on Li Mu's character!
You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted.

"Everyone evacuate the camp and stop putting out the fire!" Hu Dan knew very well that it was impossible for them to extinguish the fire in the face of the fierce flames and oil. They could only evacuate one by one before the fire reached its peak.

The Yulin Guards and Sanqianqi did not stop Hu Dan's army from withdrawing, but quietly watched Hu Dan leading the army to flee to the rear.

But when he saw a lake and ten miles of muddy swamp, Hu Dan knew that he had fallen into a trap!
From the very beginning, he was plotted. The so-called lake water supply was actually just a lie by Li Ren, which was cutting off the road behind them. Now they were intercepted by large armies on both sides. There were three thousand cavalry in front of them, but there were insurmountable lakes and swamps in the rear. They were already trapped in a certain death spot.

The opponent's goal from the beginning was to annihilate them all!

"Besieged but not attacked!" Dianqing and others were directing the battle formation. They did not rush to join the battlefield, but only forced Hu Dan's army into a desperate situation.

They burned down the food and grass of Hu Dan's headquarters with fire. Now they only need to trap Hu Dan in the desperate situation. There is no need for a fierce battle. They vow to starve and trap Hu Dan's headquarters to death!

Hu Dan wanted to break out of the encirclement with the evacuated elite troops, but the Yulin Guards and Sanqianqi had the advantage of the terrain and did not confront them head-on. They just blocked their breakthrough.

After charging several times in a row, Hu Dan's face turned pale, they were finished!

But he still didn't understand why Bingzhou suddenly attacked him!

"Who betrayed us?" Hu Dan looked at Li Ren on the distant hill and asked angrily.

All he could think of was that there was a traitor among them, and someone told Bingzhou that he was the bait!

Is he killing King He? King Donghu? Or Mao Dun?
"The most powerful one on the grassland is Donghu!" Li Ren said something ambiguous after hearing Hu Dan's question.

"It's him!" Hu Dan understood.

It was Mao Dun who proposed the plan of betrayal, so it was Mao Dun who was most likely to betray them.

Perhaps this was Maodun and Bingzhou's plan from the beginning, with the purpose of swallowing up his and King Tu He's army.

Once he and King Tu He's army are completely wiped out, the entire Donghu will no longer be able to threaten Bingzhou and the Xiongnu in the next few decades, and only then will the two emerging king tribes have a chance to develop.

"Fight with me!" Hu Dan was heartbroken and led the army to launch a suicidal charge towards the 3,000 Battalion.

"Let them go!" After Li Ren thought for a moment, he gave way to a small road and allowed Hu Dan to lead a small number of people to leave.

Hu Dan passed by the Three Thousand Battalion, but he didn't dare to stop at all.

After Hu Dan's hundred men left, Li Ren ordered an encirclement again, completely trapping Hu Dan's headquarters in the canyon.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Li Renhe Dianqing ordered again to persuade them to surrender.

Without the leadership of Hu Dan, it is impossible for these grassland tribes to have any loyalty at all. When it comes to the choice between life and death, they will know how to choose.

"Grassland Muqiang has no loyalty at all. They will choose to follow whoever is strong!" Li Ren explained to Meng Tian his intention for doing this.

Meng Tian nodded, also surprised by the speed of surrender of the grassland barbarian tribes.

Not long after Hu Dan left, these people actually laid down their weapons and surrendered, without even being loyal for a day.

"Believe it or not, I organized them directly into the Three Thousand Battalion, and in the afternoon they dared to take up arms and follow us to attack King Tu He's army!" Li Ren continued.

"Can't you?" Meng Tian was hesitant. If he hadn't seen the speed at which this army surrendered, he might not believe it. However, it seems that it is not impossible for an army that surrendered in less than a day to defect on the battlefield.
