I Want To Be Qin II - Chapter 1118

   Chapter 1118 Battle of Anyang 8

  The Qin army attacked Zhao in three directions. For a time, the whole world was a sensation, and all the Shandong countries focused their attention on Zhao.

   In addition, the great change in Handan, the envoys of various countries ran around to build momentum for each other, and for a time, the public was angry.

   It’s just that neither the Qin army nor the Zhao army pays attention to public opinion, because they all know that the two armies are facing each other, and it is time to decide between life and death.

   Under such circumstances, the influence of public opinion and public sentiment on the war is significant, but it is minimal.

   In the battle to destroy a country, military strength is the key.

  Li Mu knew that whether Zhao Guo could persevere mainly depended on the frontier army in his hands. As for the army in the hinterland, it was not a problem to contain the Qin army, but in a life-and-death battle, there was no such ability at all.

   Even though Zhaodi’s folk customs are sturdy, it is difficult to make up the gap between a good soldier and a recruit.

  Jingxing Pass.

   In the Zhao Jun shogunate, Li Mu gathered all the generals. Since Sima Shang went south to Anyang, at this time, the shogunate was mostly composed of thousands of commanders and chief generals of the army.

   “Generals, now the Qin army is attacking our Zhao country in three ways. The main force on the west route is advancing towards Jingxing Mountain without any ambiguity. The south route goes out of Hanoi and the sword points to Handan, and the north route goes out of Taiyuan.”

   Seeing the confusion on the faces of the generals, Li Mu pointed at the map and said, “The reason why the Qin army came with great fanfare is obvious.”

   “This means that this is not a surprise attack, nor is it a petty fight. For the gain and loss of one city and one place, the Qin people’s ambitions are clear.”

   “They are going to destroy my Zhao country in a battle!”

   Speaking of this, Li Mu’s tone was slightly paused, and when he saw everyone’s expressions became solemn, he nodded slightly and said.

   “The three-way army of the Qin State attacked like this, and their ambitions are even more obvious: they are not trying to capture the city, but are pointing at the location of our army.”

   “The south road is looking for my army in the hinterland, the north road is forcing my frontier army in the cloud, and the middle road is against my main army!”

   At this moment, even if Li Mu didn’t say the last sentence, the generals understood Qin Jun’s plan.

   Qin’s move was to annihilate the Zhao army in one fell swoop.

   Once the Zhao army was completely defeated by the Qin army, the Zhao kingdom would be destroyed. At this moment, the generals in the shogunate were angry.

   They are the generals of the Zhao army, and the State of Zhao is their home country. Likewise, the State of Zhao is the foundation of their lives.

   “Mr. Wu’an, the Qin army is arrogant, this battle should be hunted and killed!” At this moment, the generals were angry and raised their arms one after another.

  Li Mu defeated Wang Jian, and now Li Mu is in charge of the frontier army, Zhao army morale has soared, although he is afraid of Qin army, he is not afraid.

   “Mr. Wu’an, the Qin army is so arrogant that the last general thought that he should lure the enemy into the hinterland of our country and set up an ambush to attack the Qin army!”

   “If the Qin army under Wang Jian can be annihilated, it will definitely damage the Qin country, which will shock the world, and let our Zhao country breathe a sigh of relief.”

   “This will also allow Handan to clean up the mess and eliminate Qin Guodong’s ambitions!”

   Zhao Shuo, the former army commander, had an impassioned tone. He had some deep hatred for the Qin army.

   He wants to avenge his ancestors!

Seeing Zhao Shuo speak, the army commander Le Lai suddenly said, “Mr. Wu’an, our frontier army is mainly cavalry, good at cavalry, shooting and attacking. Victory for sure!”

   “Now my frontier army has defeated Wang Jian, defeated the Xiongnu, and is full of vigor. If I give up the strength of the cavalry to attack, use the cavalry as foot soldiers, defend the mountain pass with strong walls, and overcome the enemy’s strength with our own shortcomings…”

  …

  Lea’s remarks attracted the approval of everyone in the shogunate. At this time, the Zhao army was proud, and the Qin army was not weak.

   What’s more, Zhao Bianqi is a powerful force in the world.

   They have their pride, and it is the pride that comes out.

   They believe that they are the most powerful, and even if they are facing the Great Qin Ruishi, they can still win the battle and make Zhao Guo stand in an invincible position.

   “Everyone, the development of the war needs to be arranged according to the current situation, and our army guarding Jingxing Pass may not be able to defeat the Qin army!”

   “Although our army has given up the advantage of running and attacking, it has Jingxing Pass and natural dangers to defend it. Although the Qin army is like a rainbow, there is no danger to defend. As long as the generals are aware of the three armies, their morale will be greatly increased, and they will naturally be able to resist Qin!”

   As soon as these words came out, the generals immediately became clear. It was obvious that Li Mu had made up his mind at this moment, and he couldn’t help but open his mouth and said, “Please give an order from Lord Wu An, and the last general will act on his own accord.”

  Li Mu was the Emperor Wu’an of Zhao State.

   This is the credit of the war, and it is naturally the convincing of the generals of the Zhao army.

   Sharp eyes swept across everyone’s faces, and he knew in his heart that Zhao’s future was within his grasp.

   After thinking about this, Li Mu gave the order categorically, saying: “Okay! All generals obey!”

   “No.”

   “Within ten days, each division will be divided according to the defensive terrain, and each will build strong walls, trenches and fortresses, and gather many logs, stone bows, crossbow arrows and arrowheads.”

  Li Mu looked solemn, and a series of military orders came out of Li Mu’s mouth: “The craftsmen’s camp dredged the waterways, so that the well water flowed into the camps of the various divisions, and the military battalion must step up to build bows, crossbows, arrows and arrowheads, and arrange defensive equipment for each.”

   “The heavy battalion immediately rushed to the hinterland to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.”

   “No.”

   Accompanying Li Mu to order the generals, the generals in the army suddenly had the backbone, nodded in agreement, turned around and left the shogunate.

  The Qin army was not far away, so there was not much time left for them.

   Watching the generals leave, Li Mu’s face was dignified, and he set his eyes on the map. In Anyang, compared to Jingxing Pass and other places, in Li Mu’s view, the direction of Handan was the key.

  Once Anyang was attacked by Yinggao, and the army gathered in Handan, all of a sudden, whether it was in the direction of Wu’an or himself, it would be under great pressure.

   “Sima everything is up to you!”

   For Sima Shang, Li Mu reported a lot of expectations. At least Sima Shang’s ability is far higher than that of Anyang’s defender Ma Fu, and if he fights for a while, Yaxiang Lianpo will free up his hands.

  Only when the incident in Handan was over and Yaxiang Lianpo freed himself up; the situation in the entire Zhao Kingdom could be considered to have been reversed.

   “General, there is news from the prince that the army in the south has completed the training. At the same time, Anyang is now an isolated city. It is only a matter of time before we want to break through. The prince asked me if our division has reached the predetermined position!”

   A look of solemnity appeared in Li Xin’s eyes, and he said to Wang Jian, “At the same time, the prince asked the general, and when the war is in the middle of the stalemate, he wants the military power of the southern army and the middle army.”

   “He will attack Handan within three months, and then encircle Li Mu with the general.”

   Hearing Li Xin’s words, Wang Jian couldn’t help but smile, took over the silk book and read it again: “I’m still as confident as ever, and tell the prince that he will agree.”

   “However, everything needs to wait for the commander’s order.”
