Chapter 1038 The war that is about to break out
Looking up to the ground from the sky, the sea of Qu is like a long string of clear and transparent pearls hanging on the green earth.
Although it is approaching summer, there is not much burning weather in the air, but it is full of solemnity and tension.
The sound of horse hooves echoed constantly in the woods, and the little animals fled around in panic. Even the larger beasts who were qualified to be called the overlords in the forest were vigilantly retracted into their nests. Countless birds flew up and scattered away in a whirlwind.
Teams of Zhao cavalry passed by the grass next to the woods in an orderly manner and headed towards the north. At the end of the sight, you could see countless camps, which were the location of the Xiongnu royal court.
In the Xiongnu royal court, a trumpet sound had already sounded. Teams of Xiongnu cavalry ran out of the camp at an extremely fast speed and began to gather on the south side of the camp, which was in the direction of the Zhao army.
Seeing thousands of cavalry gathered together is actually a very eye-catching scene. The black and slapped glance cannot see the end from left to right, giving people an illusion that seems endless.
However, for Li Mu, who has been through a long battle formation, this thing obviously cannot scare him.
You should know that over the years, the regular army sent by Zhao State has basically exceeded 200,000, or even 400,000 or 500,000. Compared with those, the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Huns in front of him are obviously a bit childish.
"But the Huns actually had more than 40,000 cavalrymen, which is really unexpected." Li Mu couldn't help but sigh.
You should know that the Huns had only only tens of thousands of cavalry during their heyday. After being attacked by Zhao State, the Huns in the south of the desert surrendered. Then Longcheng then carried out civil strife and fought a war with the Seleucids. After all, they could still have more than 40,000 cavalry, which was indeed very unexpected to Li Mu.
Yi Qusheng, who was beside Li Mu, couldn't help laughing and heard this: "It seems that these Huns must have gained a lot of benefits in the Western Regions, but it's good that after this battle, their benefits will all become our spoils!"
Yiqiusheng's face was full of energy when he said this, and his tone was very natural.
Not only Yiqusheng, but also many other Zhao army generals who heard this sentence around Li Mu, and even the entire 40,000 Zhao army border cavalry soldiers from Li Mu, did not think there was anything wrong with this sentence.
We people in Zhao, don’t we win wherever we go?
The complete victory achieved in the face of many powerful enemies for ten consecutive years has long been filled with unparalleled confidence in the soldiers of Zhao State.
Yi Qusheng said to Li Mu with a hurry: "Grandmaster, let me fight as a vanguard?"
Although he was also a famous nobleman in Zhao State, Yiqiusheng obviously did not have this kind of consciousness.
He seemed to enjoy the life of fighting on the battlefield more than staying in his mansion to play with women and birds.
In Yiqiusheng's own words, "If you don't cut off a few heads every day, you will feel uncomfortable when you sleep."
But it is not just Yiqiu who wants to fight.
As soon as Yi Qusheng finished speaking, the other Zhao generals surrounded by Li Mu were also unwilling to be outdone and spoke: "Grandmaster, the last general also wants to fight! Grandmaster, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!"
At this time, the generals of the Zhao army could be said to be fighting for the first place and no one wanted to miss this opportunity.
After all, this is a top achievement, and he is facing defeated generals like the Huns. Who doesn’t want to go out quickly and make more contributions?
If someone else eats all the meat first, I'm afraid I won't even drink the soup when I go on stage.
Li Mu looked at the eagerly asked for a fight in front of him, and a smile could not help but pass through the corner of his mouth.
The morale of the army is available.
Suddenly, waves of sounds sounded from the front, and the speed of the cavalry of the Zhao State brigade began to slow down slowly, and then gradually spread to both sides like a tide, gradually turning from the original long dragon formation to an extremely huge rectangle.
The troops from both sides are constantly gathering.
Li Mu looked at the sky above his head. It was a very clear day. The sky was as blue as it was, with only a few white clouds floating in the distance.
It was almost noon, and the late spring sunshine fell from the sky and shone on Li Mu, making Li Mu feel a little hot. The shimmering waves on the sea in the distance were trembling. It seemed that a few fish were swimming naughtyly under the water, knowing nothing about the upcoming battle.
Li Mu thought about it, called out the names of several generals, and said, "You will lead three thousand soldiers to fight to explore the truth and reality of the Huns."
As soon as Li Mu said this, Yi Qusheng was stunned.
There is no Yiqusheng among these names.
Yi Qusheng was so dissatisfied that he almost wanted to question him.
These are not as good as me, so why don’t you be a pioneer general for me?
You should know that over the years under Li Mu, Yiqusheng as a pioneer general has almost become a conventional rule.
Fortunately, Yiqusheng has been following Li Mu for so many years and is also a famous general in Zhao State. He has experienced many ups and downs and downs, and is not as impulsive as back then.
So Yiqiusheng did not speak in the end, but sat quietly on the horse without saying a word.
Li Mu seemed not to notice this and was still distributing tasks in an orderly manner.
"Ren Xi, Zhao Po, Qi Jun, and you will each lead two thousand people and wait for our orders to do it. If the war between the front army is unfavorable, then you need to rescue as soon as possible. If the front army wins a complete victory, you will follow the front army and launch a pursuit of the Huns. Do you understand?"
...
After receiving the order one after another, the cavalry generals of Zhao State quickly turned their horses and left. Soon, only a few generals were left beside Li Mu, and Yiqusheng was one of them.
Li Mu glanced at Yi Qusheng, who was expressionless, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What, do you have any objections?"
Yi Qusheng squeezed out of his throat: "Yi Qusheng dared not."
Li Mu laughed and patted Yi Qusheng on the shoulder hard.
"I have a feeling that this battle may not be as smooth as I imagined. If the war is repeated, the armored cavalry under your command will be the biggest ace in my hands! Let's wait patiently for a while."
When he said this, some strange light shone in Li Mu's eyes.
