Chapter 623 Li Mu's Big Surprise

After Liu Ji was preparing to take away ten cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion and more than 780,000 elite soldiers produced by the system from Xinquan County, only ten cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion, twenty cavalry brigades of the Beiting Legion, ten infantry brigades of the Guard Legion and twenty infantry brigades of the local Legion.

Liu Ji temporarily handed over these troops to Li Mu, and left behind many powerful generals such as Zhang Shaohua, Zhang Baofeng, Chen Jichang and others. In addition, Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Tian Feng, and Ju Su, the six top civil officials were also left in Xinquan County by Liu Ji. There were also twenty puppet bodyguards with peerless military generals and thirty puppet bodyguards with the strength of top military generals, and Liu Ji left them to Li Mu.

In order to lead troops to Fuxin County, Chongyi County, Hangzhou as soon as possible, Liu Ji even gave Mo Dao Bing, Wei Wuzhang and the 750,000 elite infantrymen in the camp, each equipped with three war horses. Tender scholars like Zhang Liang and Guo Jia, who were probably unable to withstand the long-distance raid, so Liu Ji only brought two top civil officials, Wang Meng and Wang Dun, by his side.

Wang Meng's military value is as high as 102 points, and Wang Dun's military value is also 82 points. The two of them cannot be classified as weak scholars.

Liu Ji instructed Li Mu: "This Grand Governor took away more than one million troops at once. It is impossible for the people of Lu to notice such a big disturbance, so you must be careful that the Lu army will take the opportunity to launch an attack."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, lord, the people of Lu don't take the opportunity to launch an attack. Once the people of Lu really dare to launch an attack after the lord leads his troops away, the last general may have the opportunity to give the lord a big surprise!"

Liu Ji was very relieved about Li Mu's ability, not to mention that six top civil officials, including Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Tian Feng and Ju Su, stayed in Xinquan County. Early in the morning on February 7, Liu Ji led more than one million troops to leave with confidence.

"What? Hundreds of thousands, or even millions of cavalrymen from the Polu Army left Xinquan County?" Jiang Ke, the general of the Lu cavalry, said in shock.

The Polu Army and the Lu Army both sent many scouts to monitor the movements of the other party. Liu Ji led more than one million troops to leave Xinquan County, and the Lu Army immediately discovered it.

Staffman Zhen Hongwen said with a worried look: "Lord, my subordinates are worried that these troops from the Polu Army who left Xinquan County will rush to Fuxin County, Chongyi County, Hangzhou. In this way, the pressure on General Sun Gu's place will surge!"

General Jiang Ke pondered for a moment and said, "Immediately use a flying pigeon to send a letter to Sun Gu that the hundreds of thousands of cavalry troops of the defeated army were rushing to Fuxin County, and let Sun Gu be careful and order the 37th Army in Suzhou to go to Fuxin County as soon as possible to meet with the five armies led by Sun Gu."

Staff Zhen Hongwen nodded and said, "We can only do so much at the moment."

At this time, Jiang Ke sneered and said, "The Polu Army is too arrogant. Our Lu army was defeated in Xinquan County only a small defeat. The Polu Army actually dared to draw hundreds of thousands, or even millions of cavalry, and left Xinquan County. It seems that I will not give the Polu Army any more powerful things. The Polu Army really doesn't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!"

Staffman Zhen Hongwen hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord, it will take more than a month for the two main legions and five ordinary legions in China to arrive in Xinquan County. Before that, we should try our best to avoid a decisive battle with the Polu Army."

Jiang Ke waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhen, I know what I know and will not act recklessly!"

When the strategist Zhen Hongwen saw Jiang Ke's attitude, he knew that Jiang Ke's idea had been decided, and he would not have any effect if he persuaded him. Moreover, the Lu army gathered four main corps and five ordinary corpses in Xinquan County, and more than 1.5 million strong men responsible for escorting food and grass. A main corps originally in Qiongzhou was also rushing to Xinquan County, and the Polu Army had hundreds of thousands or even millions of cavalry left. The Lu army had already occupied a great advantage in terms of military strength, so the strategist Zhen Hongwen did not speak out again.

Early in the morning on February 8, General Jiang Ke of the Cavalry had confirmed that more than one million cavalrymen of the defeated army had indeed left Xinquan County. So Jiang Ke no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the troops and pressed towards the county town of Xinquan County, leaving only more than one.5 million strong men in the camp.

After Li Mu received the news that the Lu army was almost full of his heart, he not only showed a hint of panic on his face, but also showed excitement. Then Li Mu brought the ten cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion, the twenty cavalry brigades of the Beiting Legion, the five infantry brigades of the Guard Legion and the twenty infantry brigades of the local Legion, and the twenty infantry brigades of the local Legion. In the county town of Xinquan County and the camp of the Polu Army outside the city, Li Mu also left five infantry brigades of the Guard Legion.

On the plain south of Xinquan County, the Polu Army and the Lu Army faced each other and formed two extremely large military formations. A general on the Polu Army immediately urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies, "The Polu Army Zhang Shaohua is here! A child from Lu, someone dares to come up to die!"

Jiang Ke, the general of Lu cavalry, turned his head and looked at the thousands of generals of Lu behind him, and asked loudly: "Which general is willing to know the general named Zhang Shaohua in a while?"

After Jiang Ke said this, he was immediately disheartened. The last time the two armies fought, the Polu Army, a powerful general named Zhang Shaohua, was not even Qin Junmao's opponent. You should know that Qin Junmao's martial arts can rank among the top three among the many generals of the entire Lu army.

At this time, Qin Junmao, the commander of the Fourth Legion of Lu State, said: "Master General, this general of the Polu Army named Zhang Shaohua, has very powerful martial arts skills and is almost not weaker than the number one general of our Lu State, Jiale. Even if I go up, I am not his opponent. It is better to... it is better to send a large army to attack directly. The general will be defeated and reduce the morale of our army."

General Jiang Ke, the cavalry, shook his head helplessly and said, "There are indeed enough generals in the Polu Army, so we will not fight against the Polu Army. As planned, let the 20th Army launch the attack first!"

Fearing Zhang Shaohua's bravery, the Lu army gave up fighting with the Polu Army in front of the two armies, and directly dispatched a battle formation composed of two infantry guards, and rushed towards the Polu Army's formation with great momentum.

Zhang Shaohua shouted in front of the two armies for a long time, but found that the Lu people's infantry battle formation was coming, and immediately drove his horse back to the formation of the Polu Army. "General Li Mu, the Lu people are so cowardly, and they dare not send people to the two armies to fight me!"

Li Mu smiled slightly: "General Zhang, you still need to rely on your martial arts later. I will hand over the fifty masters around my lord to General Zhang. Whether we can win this battle depends on General Zhang's performance!"

Zhang Shaohua immediately patted his chest and said, "When will I take the people up? General Li Mu just greet him. I will definitely bring back the head of the General Li Mu!"

Li Mu then directly dispatched five infantry brigades of the Guards Army, lined up with dense infantry battle formations, and met with 150,000 people from the two infantry guards of Lu.

The five infantry brigades of the Guards Army and the two infantry guards of the Lu Army were in fierce battles. Both sides did not give in and killed each other, but their advantage was on the side of the Polu Army. Soon the Lu Army sent two infantry guards to join the battlefield, which stabilized the situation.

At this time, on the south wall of Xinquan County, Zhang Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Tian Feng and Ju Su, all the top civil officials gathered here. Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment and asked the other five people: "Can the tactics formulated by Li Mu and several of us succeed?"

Zhang Liang smiled slightly: "Planning depends on God's success. We have already thought about what we should think of. As for whether we can succeed, it depends on God's will!"

As time passed, more and more troops from both sides joined the battlefield. By noon on February 8, the Polu Army had already put five infantry brigades of the Guards and twenty infantry brigades of the local army into the battlefield, while the Lu Army had already invested twenty-six infantry guards on the battlefield, and the total strength of these twenty-six guards was close to two million.

Because the Lu army's strength is almost twice that of the Polu Army, the Lu army has some advantages in the whole scene, but according to the war loss ratio between the two sides, the Polu Army's losses are much less.

In addition, Jiang Ke, the commander of the Lu army, never discovered that the front line of the infantry formation on the Polu Army was very wide. The middle part of the infantry formation of the Polu Army was not a straight line, but a bow-shaped formation protruding from the center. The ten cavalry brigades of the Polu Army's grassland legion and the twenty cavalry brigades of the Beiting legion were placed on both wings.

After the showdown between the infantry between the two sides began, the middle part of the infantry formation of the Polu Army seemed to be unable to defeat the infantry battle formation of the Lu State of Lu State and continued to retreat, while the infantry of the Lu State continued to press forward. Now the twenty-six infantry guards of the Lu State have fallen into a huge concave character center.

Li Mu, who had been observing the battle situation, saw that the infantrymen of the Lu army had already entered the battle formation arranged by the Breaking Army and could not escape, so he seized the opportunity to order the ten cavalry brigades of the two wings of the grassland legion to encircle, seal the exit of the concave characters, and surrounded the Lu infantry that went to fight. In conjunction with the five infantry brigades of the Guards and twenty infantry brigades of the local legion, they eliminated the Lu infantry in the encirclement.

At this time, Li Mu personally led the twenty cavalry brigades of the Beiting Army and directly launched a charge against the Lu army that did not participate in the war.

When Jiang Ke, the commander of the Lu army, discovered the true intention of the Polu Army, there was no time to react. The twenty-six infantry guards who fought in the Lu army were surrounded by the Polu Army. At this time, the infantry of the Polu Army began to continuously compress the activity space of the Lu infantry. The dense rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, constantly covering the Lu infantry in the encirclement.

The Lu infantry was equipped with a large number of shields, which should have been able to prevent the arrow rain of the Polu Army to a large extent. However, the Polu Army's infantry also used a weapon, which was to use bamboo specialized in Xinquan County as the handle and add iron javelins. These javelins were made by Li Mu by rushing to work day and night. Because they were simple to make, more than one million were made at once.

In order to reduce weight, the shield of Lu State infantry was mainly made of wood, and it was covered with a layer of iron sheet. This shield defended arrows from a distance and was not a problem when defending with swords and slashing in close combat, but it could not stop the javelin of the Polu Army. The javelin of the Polu Army can easily break the shield or armor.

The javelin of the Polu Army caused extremely heavy losses to the Lu infantry in the encirclement. Because this javelin broke through the shield of the Lu infantry, the Lu infantry was exposed to the rain of arrows of the Polu Army.

"Hurry! Let all the eight cavalry guards attack, and you must break the encirclement of the enemy army and rescue the twenty-six infantry guards inside!" Jiang Ke, the general of the cavalry of Lu State, shouted in anger.

There are thirty-six infantry guards in Jiang Ke's four main legions and five ordinary legions. Now twenty-six infantry guards are surrounded by the Polu Army under his nose. Jiang Ke is almost mad, and the remaining ten infantry guards have been attacked by the Polu Army cavalry units and cannot support them at the moment.

However, the tactics formulated by Li Mu and six top civil officials were not so easily cracked by Jiang Ke. The eight cavalry guards attacked by the Lu army were immediately entangled by Li Mu and the cavalry troops of the Beiting Army.

As time goes by, the situation on the battlefield has become increasingly unfavorable to the Lu army. The Lu infantry troops in the encirclement of the Polu Army fought to break through the siege many times, but they were all blocked by the Polu Army. Moreover, with the cooperation of the Polu Army's cavalry, the Polu Army's infantry had already divided and encircled the Lu infantry in the encirclement and annihilated it.

The eight cavalry guards of the Lu army suffered great losses under the attack of the cavalry of the Beiting Legion. The cavalry of the Lu country was far inferior to those of the Polu Army.

What made the Lu army even worse was that during the fierce battle, a small group of cavalry that broke the enemy army broke through to the central army where the commander of the Lu army was located. This small group of cavalry was led by Zhang Shaohua. Except for Zhang Shaohua, the other fifty cavalry were all puppet bodyguards under Liu Ji.

Faced with Zhang Shaohua and fifty puppet bodyguards, Lu cavalry general Jiang Ke had to flee in a panic under the protection of many Lu soldiers. In order to prevent Zhang Shaohua and the puppet bodyguards from pursuing Jiang Ke, many Lu soldiers were sacrificed. Many Lu generals died at the hands of Zhang Shaohua and the puppet bodyguards. Even Qin Junmao, the commander of the Fourth Legion of Lu, was captured alive by Zhang Shaohua and two puppet bodyguards with peerless generals.

The escape of Jiang Ke, the general of Lu cavalry, became the last straw that overwhelmed the Lu army. After Jiang Ke escaped, the Lu army outside the encirclement of the Polu Army began to retreat to the camp in batches, and the Lu infantry inside the encirclement of the Polu Army began to lay down their weapons in batches.
