Eternal traitor

Chapter 468

Two months passed in a hurry. The army of Qin State on the border of Zhao State did nothing every day, but fired ballistas from various angles every day. He could only kill hundreds of soldiers, but the Qin army didn't take it seriously and attacked inside every day, without any intention of attacking the city with all its strength.

The soldiers of Zhao State are always trembling even if they patrol the city wall with shields every day, for fear that the god of death will come to them in the next second. Every time they see the Qin State bow and crossbow firing with all their heart, these people will hide behind the city wall To escape, these days, their city walls are already riddled with holes, and densely packed spears are embedded in the city walls like needles.

The dilapidated city walls were nearly collapsed under the long-term bombardment of the catapults. Every time a big hole was broken in the city wall, the ballista would launch the target into it, and every time it was necessary to block these holes, how many people died.

Moreover, these people attack the city regardless of whether it is sooner or later, and they like to shoot at the soldiers defending the city when they have nothing to do.Every time the city is patrolled, a suicide note will be written, otherwise there may be no chance.

This situation has happened for several months. The city has also sent cavalry to destroy the other party's siege equipment, but the effect is not satisfactory. It is not known how long the dilapidated city can last.

"Commander, the city is about to collapse."

In the center of the barracks, the general of Zhao State anxiously shouted at the man in front of him.In the past two months, they have lost three cities. Every time they retreated when the city was about to be broken, every time they retreated, they gave up a city. At this time, the walls of this city could no longer withstand the twists and turns. .

A man with a sad face sat on the commander's seat of the barracks. He wore a marshal's armor one size larger on his not-so-broad shoulders. He had a mustache on both sides and a long one-inch beard on his chin. Speaking of him, this person is a little less brave, but a little more elegant.

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Li Mu, who was already frowning, became even more distressed. He was really aggrieved by the beating in the past two months.The attack distance of the ballista and catapult of the Qin State is almost half higher than that of their side, and Wang Jian is a calm general who never takes the initiative to attack the city, but only wastes time with you.Use ballistas to shoot and kill soldiers every day to lower the morale of Zhao soldiers. Catapults smashed the gates and walls of the city, and did not attack until they were smashed open.

With such a conservative tactic, there are not many victories in a short period of time. Although seven cities in two months are not a small number, compared with the food consumed by nearly a million soldiers every day, this is nothing at all.

"Retreat, order to retreat."

Li Mu didn't hesitate, and gave the order directly. He is not a fool. The soldiers of the Qin State are brave and fearless, and their morale is now unprecedented.Instead of doing this, it is better to save your strength and transfer your troops to the rear, and fight against Qin with attrition tactics.

Li Mu knew that it was impossible for such a huge army to consume him like this forever, so he chose to avoid and not fight, and to consume the opponent.

"The commander-in-chief can't retreat. Now the court has been so dissatisfied with you for a long time. If you retreat again this time, nothing will happen. It's better to fight with the Qin army than this."

The generals of the Zhao State have all heard the rumors in the Zhao State, saying that Li Mu is a spy of the Qin State. If he wants to join the Qin State, he will only stay behind closed doors every day. In this battle, several cities were lost.Many people have already begun to persuade King Zhao to change his commander. With the sluggishness of the past two months, Zhao's court has already become dissatisfied with Li Mu.

If they don't get any more results this time, I'm afraid they will get news of a coaching change in a short time.

"Yes, Commander, I am willing to fight against the Qin army."

"Swear to kill the enemy."

"The commander-in-chief gives the order."

·············
The generals of Zhao State, who had been suffocated for a long time, were already angered by the Qin army, and they all asked for a fight to the death with the Qin army.Rather than being so useless and losing all the time, it's better to fight hard and have fun.

"No."

Li Mu let out a roar, and persuaded each of his suffocating subordinates helplessly: "The Qin army is brave, but now the Qin army has clear rewards and punishments, and the soldiers of the Qin army are even more fearless. Zhengsheng, if you make an appointment to fight with him, you can only lose. Qin may be able to afford to lose, but once Zhao loses...then it will perish."

Why is Li Mu willing to suffer anger here, but what can he do? ?The military strength is not as good as yours, the weapons are twice as good as you, but you can't fight head-on, and the tactics are defensive, one step at a time, one step at a time, and you won't play tricks with you. How do you fight? ?

"But the people in the city haven't retreated yet, this..."

The general of Zhao State said helplessly that every time Qin State attacked the city, it was a terrible volley, and it didn't care how many enemies were killed, but deterrence.In order to prevent the people from helping the soldiers of Zhao to defend the city, the Qin army would shout that if the people went up to the city wall, they would slaughter the city when the city was broken.

Li Mu, who keeps the people in mind, will send the people away in advance whenever he withdraws his troops to avoid being poisoned.However, the people from the seven cities began to huddle here, and began to retreat again, and these people were even more unwilling.It even started to write that the white cloth that took refuge in the Qin army was hung in front of the door and wanted to surrender to the enemy.People's hearts have long been scattered...

"Gather the flammable things at the city gate, set fire to the city, take away all the food in the city, and burn everything that cannot be taken away. Now... the whole army retreats."

After saying the last few words, Li Mu felt like he was about to have a myocardial infarction. He had never been so aggrieved by such a disgusting battle in his life. Why didn't he want to win with Qin Jun, but he wanted to kill the thief, but he was powerless .

"The last general takes orders."

"The last general takes orders."

More than a dozen generals looked at each other, and reluctantly accepted the order. They knew the general situation, but they felt aggrieved. When they came to fight, they would withdraw their troops, withdraw their troops, and surrender the city. There are eight cities, and Zhao Guochaotang, who is already dissatisfied with this side, who knows what kind of storm will be caused? ?

Li Mu, who was full of exhaustion, looked at the people leaving one after another, sighed heavily, looked at the flames in front of him, and murmured: "I hope the king can trust the documents I sent?"

If King Zhao falls for the enemy's tricks... Zhao Guowei is in danger.
