Chapter 24 Victory

Ten thousand Zhao troops were standing across the field. Before the Qin army advanced, the soldiers were just sitting. Apart from the sound of wind, the sound of military flags and the sound of war horses, the army formation was extremely quiet. The Qin army camp thirty miles away from the rear was rippling, and under the screen of the Zhao cavalry, the Qin army camp seemed to have been broken. In fact, the resistance of the camp was steadily, and the Zhao army only lit a big fire outside the camp.

The Qin army had a total of more than 200,000. As long as the field battle was delayed for a period of time or the field battle failed, even if the 150,000 Zhao army under Li Mu was not completely wiped out, he could only retreat to the Jiumen north of the Hutuo River and allow the Qin army from the middle route to go south to join the Qin army from the south route. There was a reason for not attacking before, and there was a reason for attacking now. At this time, Zhao State would never have a chance without a gamble.

"Report——!" The marquis came on horseback, "The Qin army was advancing and wanted to fight me."

"Explore again." Li Mu's expressionless face, but Sima Shang's face was filled with joy. Standing outside the shogunate together, Mu Leng, who had arrived in Li Mu's army yesterday, began to feel nervous. According to previous investigations, there were as many as 150,000 Qin troops returning to aid, while Zhao troops were only one hundred thousand. The sun had risen to the top of his head, and Mu Leng's whole body was bathed in the sun, but he didn't feel any warmth, and only felt cold hands and feet.

"Report—!" A quarter of an hour later, the Houqi arrived again, "The Qin army is five miles away from me and is already in the array."

There are plains east of Taihang and north of the river. Even if Lu Lijing is not used on the plain, the Qin army five miles away can be seen at a glance. At this time, the sitting Zhao Zun also saw the Qin army stepping against the skyline. Pi Zhou couldn't help but tremble: The Qin army is here.

Mu Ling looked at Li Mu unconsciously, with a faint expectation in his heart - although Li Mu was not King Zhao, as a general, if he could go to the front of the formation and use his actions to motivate the soldiers of the Zhao army, the morale of the Zhao army would inevitably be greatly boosted. The morale of the Zhao army was greatly boosted, and the Zhao army, who was at a disadvantage in numbers, could defeat the more with fewer.

The Qin army started with a black line, slowly turning into a wall that was more than ten miles long. Seeing that the wall was getting closer, Mu Ling became more anxious. The advice he asked Li Mu to go to the formation to make a vow to wander around in his belly, holding it in his mouth, and stopped talking, and swallowed it again and swallowed it into his stomach. He was repeatedly, and his hands and feet were cold before, and his head was already sweating.

"Report——! The Qin army is three miles away from me." The Qin army is getting closer and closer, and the cavalry of both sides are already fighting fiercely in front of the formation. Whenever the Qin cavalry is killed, the Zhao army cheers. Mu Ling can no longer help it. He stepped forward and bowed to Li Mu. Just as he was about to make a comment, Li Mu took the lead: "How many silver coins were brought by Ziling yesterday?"

Mu Ling escorted silver coins under the order of the Jinxing of the Four Kingdoms. This order did not come from Handan, but from Yingdu.

"Report to the General: I have brought 30,000 silver coins in Chujin, totaling 1.71 million." Mu Ling swallowed his advice back into his stomach.

"Good." Li Mu praised. "I ordered the carriage and horse to transport the silver carriage and sprinkle these 1.710,000 silver coins in the front ten steps of the formation."

"Ah?!" Li Mu's order made Mu Ling stunned. He thought these silver coins were used to purchase military funds, but he didn't expect that Li Mu would sprinkle them in front of the military formation.

Thirty thousand Chujin silver coins were about 7.5 tons, and a total of ten four-wheeled carriages were shipped. When Mu Ling was stunned, Sima Shang had ordered people to take five carriages from both sides to quickly go around the front of the formation. The carriage ran to the front of the army ten steps, and the back door opened. Several military officers poured down, and the silver coins were poured on the dry grass like water.

Mu Ling, who was already standing in the chariot, saw the actions of the military officers. When the Qin army was getting closer and closer, he finally made a suggestion: "Why don't the general go to the front of the formation? The King of Chu in my city will come to the front of the formation every time the battle, and his morale will be greatly boosted, so the Chu soldiers can be ten."

Although the Qin army was very close, Li Mu still used Lu Lijing to look at its array carefully to find out the reality of the army. With his habit, no one was allowed to disturb him during the battle. Seeing that Mu Ling was the Chu people and the silver coins he sent, he smiled slightly and put down Lu Lijing and said, "The Zhao army is not the Chu army. The Chu people are easily angry. The Chu king swore anger in front of the formation to make him angry, and his morale will naturally be greatly boosted. The Zhao people are brave and generous, but they do not serve the farming and sericulture. They rely on the opportunity to eat, and they are just going to defend the city. If they fight in the field, they will have no ambition to die..."

"General!" The battle was about to happen, but Li Mu was distracted and wanted Mu Ling to explain again. The trusted fox baby had to shout him. Li Mu had to smile at Mu Ling, and picked up Lu Li's mirror again to look at the Qin army opposite.

Although Li Mu did not finish his words, his meaning was clear: the Zhao army was not the Chu army. The Chu people were passionate and angry when they were excited, so their morale was naturally greatly boosted, and they were ten. Therefore, the way to deal with the Chu army was to "do not fight with war, their army could be defeated." When the Chu army was excited, he would not fight with him, and he would cool down over time, and eventually he would lose his morale and lose his night.

No matter how martial or generous the Zhao soldiers were, they had to have money. Moreover, the Zhao people were always extravagant and expensive. The wars of the Three Jins continued, and the soldiers were familiar with the battle formation for a long time, and they were already tired of war. After the Qin army pulled the city, they beheaded and won the winning theory (eight thousand is just the base, and they would not cut off after winning eight thousand heads), so they had to fight to the death. Different fields were different, and they could escape. If there was no reward for a lot of money, the soldiers would never fight to the death. Li Mu defeated the Hu people, chose chariots and cavalry, and recruited hundreds of gold men. The soldiers received rewards every day, which was a reward for a lot of money.

Zhao She and Zhao Kuo are different, and they are rewarded with gold and silk in the army or collectors. Today, they are fighting with the Qin army in the field. As the chief general, Li Mu, as the chief general, must reward the soldiers with gold, silver, pearls and jade. If they do not reward them, the soldiers will think that the chief general will look down on him. When Mu Ling arrives late, 30,000 kilograms of silver coins can no longer be distributed to the entire army, and they can only fall in front of the formation. If they win, the silver coins will belong to the soldiers; if they lose, they will become the Qin army.

All 1.71 million silver coins were sprinkled in front of the formation. The military officers and soldiers who had already received the order pointed at the silver coins and shouted to the soldiers: "The general borrowed 30,000 kilograms of silver from the King of Chu to reward you. Can you defeat the enemy in this battle? Can you defeat the enemy?"

Previously, the Zhao Zhu's eyes were all on the Qin army. As ten four-wheeled carriages poured out more than one million silver coins in front of the formation, these silver coins were piled up in a mess on the dry grassland, forming a silver belt as wide as the military formation. No one was watching the Qin army opposite anymore, everyone was staring at the silver belt ten steps away, and a small number of people began to swallow.

"... Can you defeat the enemy? Can you defeat the enemy?" The chief of the soldier asked several times, and finally someone shouted, "Sure!"

"Can you defeat the enemy?" asked again.

"Victory! Victory! Victory! Victory!!" One person shouted, ten people shouted, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, and hundreds of thousands of people shouted together. Facing the silver belt ten steps away, no one took a step, and no one stepped forward to rob. This is the Zhao army, not the scattered and brave bandits. They do love money, but they need the respect of nobles. They can die, but they must die with 'value'.

According to convention, those who died in battle can also receive rewards. What they really have to do is to defeat the Qin people. As long as they defeat the Qin army, the military officials will share these rewards equally. This is the rule in the army and the rule that cannot be changed.

When Zhao's handmaster turned his eyes from the silver coins to the Qin army, the outcome of the war was almost decided. The commander and military officers in front of the formation understood their gazes, and Li Mu and Sima Shang behind the formation also felt the soldiers' ambition to die. Only Mu Ling, who had been in Zhao for a long time but still didn't understand the Zhao people, felt nothing. He saw the Qin army getting closer and closer, and saw the Qin soldiers in the front row shoot arrows quickly, and then the two long walls collided fiercely. In the battle between the spears and spears, countless people fell to the ground in an instant, and the world was darkened.

From the moment ago, Li Mu stared at the battlefield. What he was most worried about was that the Qin army's sharp soldiers used long beryllium to break the battle formation of his army, but his concern was obviously redundant. The Zhao soldiers, who were determined to die, fought with their lives. The sharp soldiers could kill them, but they had to pay a heavy price for every step forward. Zhao's army had few people, and the thin array was about to collapse under the fierce attack of the Qin army, but they were not defeated.

"Zhao Army..." Meng Wu, who was also staring at the battlefield, said to Zhao Army. He never thought that Zhao Army was so brave in the field.

"Please ask the general Zhunmo to attack the Zhao army." Feng Qiji, as the rear army, couldn't wait. There were more Qin troops than Zhao army, and more rear army than Zhao army. Now the front line is stalemate, which is a good time to open up the situation by side attacking.

"Can we see the Zhao army's cavalry?" Meng Wu asked Hou Zheng beside him. He had seen the Chu army's cavalry and was wary. Li Mu led the border army, and there were many cavalrymen. Now he saw only the Zhao army scouts, and he did not see the cavalry that defeated the Hu people at all.

"Report to the General: I have not seen the Zhao cavalry." Hou Zheng bowed. "I am afraid that the Zhao cavalry is robbing my food road."

"Order: Feng Qiji led the rear army to attack Zhao Youjun." The feathered edict was finally sent to Feng Qiji. His chariot ran away wildly. The 30,000 rear army followed his general flag and rumbled to the left wing of the battlefield. As long as the rear army bypassed the far left front, the Zhao army would be defeated.

"Report——!" While the rear army ran out, the urgent report rang in front of Li Mu's shogunate, "The Qin army wanted to attack our right army."

"Sort the rear army to rescue quickly, no mistakes!" The Qin army had a rear army, and the Zhao army also had a rear army, but the number was only ten thousand. After Li Mu's orders, the fox infancy standing next to him immediately spoke: "Please ask the general..."

"No." Li Mu stopped him before he finished speaking. "The time has not come."

"Kill--!" Zhao army's right wing, the rear troops of both sides collided head-on, 10,000 to 30,000. The Qin army's pounce was abrupt, and the soldiers shouted and fought together.

"Order: Meng Tian leads the rear army to attack the Zhao Zuo Army." Another order was issued. The Zhao army has no rear army, and the attack is fatal at this time. Meng Tian never dreamed that his father would let him lead the army to complete the last attack.

"The last general... accept the order." In the envious eyes of the generals, Meng Tian took the feathered edict and drove away with a trembling trembling. In the end, 20,000 rear troops followed him to the left army of Zhao.

"Report——!" Zhao Junhou's marquis responded again, but Li Mu waved his hand to stop him, saying, "Rise the flag!"

"The general has an order: raise the flag!" The military officer did not dare to delay for a moment, and shouted at the flag bearer not far away. A three-meter-high flag was immediately erected by the soldiers. The vermilion flag was dim and worn. Only when it was very close could it be seen that the flag was painted with a galloping horse with horns on its forehead.
