Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 531

Similarly, two of Li Mu's confidants went to the two armies of Zhao Kuo and Xu Li as supervisors.

In Zhao Wang's view, this can ensure the mutual checks and balances between the two sides in the army, which can be said to be foolproof.

But for Zhao Kuo and Li Mu, this method more or less has the meaning of "children playing tricks".

But in this way, it facilitated the communication between Zhao Kuo and Li Mu.

Li Mu said lightly, "It's been half a month, and the tunnel has almost been dug."

Chapter 1017 Kuang Liang Is A Famous General, Isn't I Li Mu?

Although explosives are very good, the problem is that explosives cannot be thrown directly on the city wall to blow up the city wall.

In this era, the easiest way to play the role of explosives is actually to put the explosive package directly on the city gate, and then blast it.

But there is actually a problem in this kind of Fangshi, that is, the defenders of Qi State in Changguo City are not fools, how could they watch the army of Zhao State push the explosive cart over?

Therefore, the safest way is to dig a tunnel.

Han Fei said with some doubts: "Kuang Liang is also considered a famous general. Could it be that he doesn't even guard against tunnel digging?"

Li Mu smiled when he heard this: "Kuang Liang is a famous general, so am I not a famous general?"

The words are full of confidence.

Han Fei laughed dumbfounded, shook his head, and stopped talking.

Li Mu said with a smile: "The ultimatum to Kuang Liang has also been delivered, let's talk a little bit about demeanor and wait for him to reply to our ultimatum before giving them a surprise."

While speaking, Li Mu inadvertently glanced at the several people around him who were wearing black clothes and robes, exuding an aura of keeping strangers away.

These people are "Fang Warlocks" in name, but in fact they are Mohist scholars from the academy.

Over the past few years, these Mohist scholars, led by Fuzhen, devoted themselves to researching technology, and only then did explosives and muskets appear.

"After confirming that the explosives are effective, kill people and silence them?"

Li Mu couldn't help but smile contemptuously when he thought of King Zhao's will.

For Li Mu, any one of these scholars is more precious than Zhao Wang's life!At this moment, a carriage drove out of Changguo City and slowly approached Zhao Jun's position.

Two flags were displayed on the carriage, the one on the left was the purple flag of Qi State with the word "Qi" on it, and the one on the right was the white flag symbolizing the envoy.

Li Mu knew that this should be the envoy sent by Changguo City to answer him, so he said, "Let him come over."

A moment later, a polite-looking envoy saluted Li Mu: "My lord, Meng Bin, I have met the general."

Li Mu nodded slightly, and said, "I don't know how Kuangliang Da Sima responded to my proposal?"

Meng Bin said: "Our Chief Sima said that he is very grateful to General Li Mu for still caring about the lives of the people in the city under such circumstances, but the war between the two countries is not a child's play after all, it is impossible for the Chief Sima of Kuangliang to just surrender like this , Otherwise, we will not be able to explain to our great king of Qi."

Li Mu said: "So, the war will continue?

I told you, if you want to continue, it will not benefit you Qi. "

Meng Bin didn't change his face, and said calmly: "I also ask the general to know that our Qi country is not a small country like Wei Hanyan. Although Qi country is indeed not as good as Zhao country these years, it is impossible to surrender without a fight. "

Li Mu nodded and said, "Then you go back.

Tell Kuang Liang that within today, I will enter Changguo City and let him know how wrong his decision was. "

Meng Bin was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he came to his senses, Li Mu was saying that he would break through Changguo City within a day! "This General Li Mu really has great confidence."

After hearing this answer from Meng Bin, even Kuang Liang who was a little nervous couldn't help laughing.

Meng Bin said to Kuang Liang with a serious face: "Grand Sima, I always feel that what General Li Mu said is not a lie."

Kuang Liang froze for a moment, then said, "You mean, he's actually quite sure?"

Meng Bin nodded.

Kuang Liang fell into deep thought.

Meng Bin is a confidant and think tank that Kuang Liang relies on the most. Meng Bin has indeed given a lot of useful suggestions in many past wars. For example, Meng Bin's suggestion in defeating Lian Po outside Jidu is very important.

Kuang Liang thought for a while, then slowly said: "Then how about this, after the Zhao people launch an attack, the old man's personal guards will not go to the city to defend, but stay in the city to wait for unexpected events."

In Kuang Liang's mind, even if Li Mu had some ideas, at best, he would cooperate with the inside and the outside.

If this is the case, then as long as Kuang Liang keeps his most elite personal guards in the city, he will naturally be able to perfectly deal with Li Mu's offensive.

After listening to Kuang Liang's words, Meng Bin also praised: "My lord is indeed wise."

Kuang Liang smiled slightly, and said, "Li Mu probably didn't even think that his unintentional slip of the tongue would lead to his failure in the siege in this war!"

At this moment, there was a thunderous drum sound in the distance.

The siege of Zhao's army began.

There are also rules for beating the drum. Generally speaking, the attack will not start until the third drum is finished.

From the first drum to the end of the third, it takes about 15 minutes. During these 15 minutes, the vanguard will complete the change from the assembly formation to the assault formation. Each commander will accept his own mission and finally realize Launch an attack when as many people as possible know your tactical intentions.

The comparison of such things as war has never been about individual force, but which of the two sides' armies is more like a whole, and which of the two sides' commanders is better.

Li Mudao: "If you look at the problem with the thinking of the old era, then Kuang Liang will indeed be very difficult for me to defeat in this battle.

In other words, even if I want to conquer this city, it won't be possible without a year or so.

But unfortunately, now has entered a new era.

In the war of the new era, generals with old-fashioned thinking like Kuang Liang no longer have any shelter. "

Hearing Li Mu's words, Han Fei couldn't help reminding with some amusement: "You haven't conquered this city yet."

Li Mu laughed loudly, and said to Han Fei, "No, I have already conquered this city."

After the three-way drum, the sky-shattering shouts of killing sounded immediately.

Countless soldiers of Zhao Jun swarmed up and rushed towards the tall city wall of Changguo City in front of them.

For these Zhao soldiers, they received a very special order this time, which can be said to be incomprehensible.

"If you see the walls of Changguo City collapse later, don't have any doubts. It's our general's plan, just rush in."

After hearing this order, the soldiers' first impression was doubt.

It is of course understandable to keep rushing in, but why did the walls of Changguo City suddenly collapse?

Could there be a miracle?

Fortunately, since Zhao Kuo led the army, he has been promoting the saying that "soldiers should obey orders as their bounden duty" in Zhao Guo's army, so after so many years, Zhao Guo's elite soldiers have already developed the habit of obeying orders and fighting hard. Such an attitude did not cause any big waves.

Seeing that the vanguard army at the front was less than two miles away from the city wall, Han Fei couldn't help looking at Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said to Han Fei, "Don't look at me, look at the city wall! Next, it's time to witness the miracle!"

After Li Mu finished speaking, Han Fei immediately turned his head to the city wall.

Next, Han Fei saw a scene he would never forget.

"Boom!"

A shocking cross talk suddenly resounded, countless flames surged from the ground, and the city wall on the ground seemed to be lifted from the bottom by a fire dragon, and it was easily overturned in an instant.

The earth trembled, and countless boulders fell from the city wall, making earth-shattering sounds.

The billowing smoke and dust jumped directly into the sky, and it was clearly a cloudless sunny day, but it turned into a cloudy sky that covered the sky in an instant!Even Li Mu and Han Fei's four horses pulling the chariot couldn't help snorting after seeing this scene, showing signs of wanting to back off.

All of this made Han Fei dazzled!Li Mu stood beside Han Fei, laughing loudly.

"see it?

This is the future! "

This time, Li Mu buried thousands of catties of explosives in the ground of Changguo City at one go, just for this kind of result!At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to have come to a standstill, and even the vanguards of the Zhao State who were charging stopped involuntarily, staring blankly at Changguo City not far away.

Finally, the smoke and dust began to dissipate slowly.

The city wall of Changguo City was once again exposed.

Just a few minutes ago, this section of the city wall was still intact and seemed impregnable.

But now, this place has completely turned into a mass of ruins.

Among the ruins, there are still some remaining Qi soldiers struggling to climb, flee, screaming, trying to escape from this piece of hell that suddenly appeared!Li Mu took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "What are you still doing?

Keep on beating the drums! "

Drums start.

The loud bang, thump, thud knocked heavily on everyone's heart, bringing everyone back to their senses in an instant.

It wasn't until this time that the soldiers of Zhao State's Vanguard Army finally came to their senses and realized the meaning of the inexplicable order before.

Although I don't know what happened, it is obvious that the sudden collapse of the city wall of Changguo City was due to General Li Mu's handwriting!After knowing this, the soldiers of the Zhao State Pioneer Army suddenly boosted their morale.

If even such a strong city wall can't stop us, what else in the world can stop us?

The next moment, Zhao Guo's vanguard cheered immediately, and quickly launched an attack on Chang Guo City not far away!Contrary to the joyful cheers of the vanguard army of Zhao State, the defenders of Qi State in Changguo City seemed to have suffered a thunderbolt from the blue sky!As the commander-in-chief of the entire Changguo City, it was impossible for Kuang Liang to make such a move to come to the front line in person.

However, in order to prevent the Qi army from responding slowly due to the surprise attack of Zhao's army, Kuang Liang also deliberately placed his headquarters very close to the city wall.

This led to the fact that when the explosives detonated, Kuang Liang's headquarters also suffered from the aftermath.

Kuang Liang, who was still discussing with several staff members at that time, was directly overturned by the unexpected impact and fell to the ground. Most of the tables in the whole room were overturned, and dust clusters fell from the top of his head, everywhere. It was a mess.

After finally waiting for Kuang Liang to stand up, he heard the sound like the sky falling apart outside, and a very bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

It was this feeling that made Kuang Liang stand up as fast as he could and rush out of the room.

Then, Kuangliang was overwhelmed by a burst of smoke and dust.

A few minutes later, the guards found Kuang Liang who was covered in dust and coughing non-stop on the ground.

But Kuang Liang was in no mood to take care of his own embarrassment at this time. He stared at the city wall of Changguo City not far in front of him, and he was dumbfounded.

The city wall of Changguo City, which stood tall there, has now collapsed to an exaggerated extent, and all the houses behind this section of the city wall were spared.

As for the Qi soldiers who were originally standing on this section of the city wall and were preparing to fight against Zhao's vanguard army, most of them died with the collapse of the city wall, and a small number of those who survived were escaping from the city wall in various ways. .

What makes Kuang Liang even more chilling is that standing here, he can even see the red flag of Zhao's army approaching outside the city in the distance!Meng Bin was standing beside Kuang Liang, this resourceful man who had always been trusted by Kuang Liang was pale and trembling all over at this moment.

Meng Bin suddenly understood why Li Mu said "meet Kuang Liang within today" so confidently just now.

Li Mu's confidence is not in the city, but in the current scene!At this moment, Meng Bin began to doubt life a little. Could it be that Li Mu got help from the gods?

Otherwise, how can it be explained that the scene of the earth dragon turning over just happened to appear under the city wall of Changguo City, and Li Mu knew about it in advance?

Kuang Liang suddenly came back to his senses, and shouted: "Quick, come on up, I must stand up for the old man from the attack of Zhao's army!"

Looking at Kuang Liang who was hoarse and yelling, Meng Bin moved his mouth, but he still didn't speak.

At this moment, Meng Bin can be said to be completely hopeless, because he understands that when the city wall collapses, the Qi army will no longer be able to defend it!Zhao's army has been sweeping the world for a long time, and now the morale and numbers are all superior. What can Qi's army use to resist Zhao's army?

The facts are just as Meng Bin imagined.

Soon, the two sides launched a very fierce hand-to-hand combat in the ruins of this section of the city wall.

In order to ensure the defense, Kuang Liang almost immediately let all the guards around him press up, and continuously mobilized reinforcements from other sections of the city wall.

The two sides dropped hundreds of thousands of corpses in the ruins.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Zhao Jun's combat effectiveness is stronger, so when the battle became more and more fierce, Zhao Jun still gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, after all the guards around Kuang Liang were completely lost, the remaining soldiers and horses of Qi State could no longer withstand the onslaught of Zhao State's elite, and were completely disintegrated.

As a result, Zhao Jun completely controlled this breakthrough, and began to drive into Changguo City continuously.

Changguo City, broken!

Chapter 1018

Li Mu also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao's army continuously entering Changguo City.

As far as Li Mu is concerned, although he has always been swearing and declaring victory in various ways, in fact, it was not until this moment that Li Mu was able to confirm from the bottom of his heart that he and Zhao Guo had indeed won.

Undoubtedly, this victory is of great significance to Li Mu. After all, Li Mu only defeated South Korea before, and South Korea is only recognized as one of the weakest countries.

But now the state of Qi is different, because the ancestors of the state of Qi were rich in those days. A few decades ago, the state of Qi was the most powerful state. Even a few years ago, the army of the state of Qi defeated the state of Zhao. This is completely incomparable to South Korea.

It is precisely because of this that as long as Qi can be destroyed, Li Mu's prestige in Zhao's army must be greatly improved.

From a certain Li's point of view, although he did not intend to betray Zhao Kuo, Li Mu also believed that after Zhao Kuo won the throne, the position of the first person in Zhao's military was no one but Li Mu.
