Chapter 1090 Jiameng is broken and Li Bing is killed(1/2)
After hearing Li Erlang's words, Li Bing frowned and said, "The Zhao army is the most elite soldier in the world. Now Li Mu is also the number one general under Wu Xinjun's command. We cannot underestimate him."
Although Li Erlang was scolded by his father, he still disagreed and said, "Don't worry, Father, the reason why the people of Zhao were able to run rampant in Hanzhong is said to be because of a weapon called explosives.
But it’s okay to use that kind of weapon to fight those cities. Our place is a pass built on the mountain. Can they still break through our place?
Father, don’t worry, we will definitely be able to keep it this time!”
After a pause, Li Erlang saw that there was no one around, and immediately whispered: "Father, I don't know what the situation is in Guanzhong now. Maybe the king was beaten by Wu Xinjun and the Qin Dynasty would be gone! We should seize this opportunity. As long as we fight back Li Mu, it's time for us to become independent!"
Of course, Li Erlang has nothing to say about his ability. His ability to be the chief lieutenant of Shu County is a reflection of his ability. He often assists Li Bing in water treatment on weekdays, and he has made great achievements.
But Li Erlang is a young man after all, and once he is young, his ambitions are prone to be ambitious.
Originally, when Qin State was powerful, Li Erlang would certainly be the official of Qin State and be the one who was good at it. But now Qin State is in danger, Li Erlang couldn't help but have some other thoughts.
Li Bing frowned even more and said in a deep voice: "It's just nonsense! If it weren't for the promotion of the previous kings of all dynasties, how could I sit in this position? Now you want to do this unfaithful act, I will never agree!"
Seeing that his father was determined, Li Erlang could only shut his mouth awkwardly, but he still made up his mind that as long as he found an opportunity, he must persuade his father and become the King of Shu.
Li Bing stared at the Zhao army camp in the distance, but recalled many scenes in his mind.
Qin State respects military merits. Since Li Bing was able to serve as the governor of Shu County, of course, he has military merits and can fight wars.
Two years before the Battle of Changping broke out, Li Bing was promoted by the then Qin King Yingji and came to Shu for more than ten years.
During these decades, Li Bing sent batches of Qin soldiers out of Bashu and went outside to fight for the Qin Dynasty.
But there were a lot of these soldiers when they left, but a very small number when they returned.
Before the Battle of Changping, some people could make military achievements and return proudly, but after the Battle of Changping, not only were the fewer people returning, but they often came back silently with various injuries.
Although Li Bing has not been to the front line in more than ten years, he can feel the decline of the Qin Dynasty for so many years from the scenes of his repeated expeditions and return.
This decline lasted for more than ten years! The great Qin Dynasty has now been attacked by the people of Zhao, and even the country is about to be destroyed.
Li Bing took a deep breath and slowly looked at the Zhao army camp outside the pass.
"The people of Zhao... I hope I can resist this time."
Amid Li Bing's feelings, the sun gradually sets, and darkness covers the earth.
In the darkness, Li Mu sat in the handsome tent with the lights on, staring at the Chiyou army officers in front of him with bright eyes.
“Are you ready?
I tell you the truth, I can’t guarantee that you will come back alive this time.”
The officers of the Chiyou Army in front of them were the most trusted and most capable old subordinates when Li Mu was in charge of the Chiyou Army. Now they are basically commanders or commanders, one step away from the general.
An officer of Chiyou Army couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "It's interesting for the general to say this. Our Chiyou Army has never suffered any hardships. Can we only ride a horse after all the skills we have developed?
Today, the captives of Qin State talked about the limelight of Qin Ruishi, and they all talked so evilly. Are we not as good as these defeated generals?"
Another Chiyou Army officer also smiled and said, "There is certainly a little risk, but how can there be no risk if you want to make a contribution?
Think about the top skills of breaking Jiameng Pass, it’s just this risk, it’s worth it!”
The other officers smiled and spoke, and their meaning was just the same - what is this risk?
Besides, we are the elite among the Chiyou Army! Looking at the old subordinates in front of us, Li Mu nodded slowly.
Although he was reluctant to part with these old subordinates, he also understood how could he not take risks by making contributions?
It was Li Mu himself who also took the lead in charge and came out of thousands of troops back then?
Li Mu said slowly: "The people of Qin must think that our army is just a new arrival and cannot launch an attack at once. We just have to do the opposite and launch an attack directly tonight.
You all go down and take a break, and set off until midnight, and take down this Jiameng Pass tonight!"
The soldiers of Chiyou's army agreed in unison.
This night is very long, and time passes minute by minute.
Li Bing, who returned to the Qin army camp in the pass, had already fallen asleep, but was suddenly awakened.
It’s not that there is any enemy situation, but that Li Bing has been used to sleeping in the mansion for many years, and now he comes to the military camp, but he is a little uncomfortable.
Li Bing shook his head, got up and went out, and happened to meet his son Li Erlang.
Li Erlang looked surprised: "Why haven't my father been asleep yet?"
Li Bing said lightly: "I can't get up and see, where have you been?"
Li Erlang said: "I just went to the close and patrol, but I didn't notice any movement. I was about to come back to sleep."
Li Bing looked up at the sky. Tonight's heavy dark clouds blocked the moonlight, the earth was dark and the visibility was very low.
Li Bing said to Li Erlang: "Don't sleep first, wait until midnight, and then wake me up, and continue patrolling in the middle of the night."
Li Erlang was stunned. After a while, he said, "Father, the people of Zhao arrived today. No matter how they did, they would not be able to launch an attack tonight, right?"
Li Bing snorted heavily and said very seriously: "Others may not, but the people of Zhao have wiped out the four major princes. We must not be careless at any time! Okay, remember that's it!"
After saying this, Li Bing turned around and returned to the room and continued to sleep.
Li Erlang stood outside the house with a little dullness, and sighed after a long time.
Midnight.
Li Erlang yawned, swaying while walking, and walked with dozens of personal guards towards the wall.
Although it was already summer, Jiameng Pass was full of mountains and forests, and it still looked quite cool at this night, which made Li Erlang, who was not dressed a little thin, sneeze twice on the road.
"Father is really that way. Who doesn't sleep in a tent in this kind of weather? How could he have a night attack?
Besides, why did the people of Zhao attack at night? They don’t know the terrain!”
Li Erlang rubbed his nose while complaining speechlessly.
But what Li Erlang didn't know was that in the darkness outside the wall, there was really a team that was quietly approaching the wall.
This is the elite of Chiyou Army arranged by Li Mu before, and it is the "elite among the elites" in the true sense.
Zhao Kuo had an elite army of Chiyou, which was based on Zhao Kuo's standards.
Li Mu also has an elite force, which is based on Li Mu's standards.
Every main general will have a team of their favorite elites, and they will also use their favorite standards to cultivate this team of elites.
Now, Li Mu's elite troops have quietly arrived in front of Jiameng Pass.
On the wall, Li Erlang suddenly stopped as he walked.
"Huh, is there any sound?"
Li Erlang said as he stretched out his head from the wall and looked outside.
The night outside was quiet and there was no movement.
Li Erlang looked at it for a while and muttered: "Is it the sound of cicadas?
These damn things have just happened to be in summer."
After thinking about it, Li Erlang suddenly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it out from a distance.
Amid the hoarse and unpleasant screams, an owl flew up and flew away in the night sky.
Li Erlang was completely relieved. He withdrew his head and continued patrolling forward with a swagger.
Behind Li Erlang, dozens of personal guards followed, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
After a while, at the place where Li Erlang was just now, many elite Chiyou Army soldiers appeared quietly.
Finally, taking advantage of this patrol, these elite Chiyou Army soldiers came to the wall.
There are trenches under the walls and horses are resisting horses. There are also various sharp wooden trenches and poisonous trenches in the trenches, but these are not a problem for the elites of the Chiyou Army, and they quietly crossed.
Then, the Chiyou army took out explosives from behind and gently placed them at the city gate.
One Chiyou army carried twenty kilograms with him, and two hundred Chiyou army had four thousand kilograms of explosives.
What is the concept of 4,000 kilograms of explosives?
When Zhao Kuo conquered Xianyang City, he only used two thousand kilograms of explosives for each city gate.
It’s not that Li Mu wasted it, but that Li Mu knew the importance of this Jiameng Pass.
As long as you break through here, you can enter the Bashu Basin and move forward! After all the explosives were placed, the soldiers of the Chiyou Army quietly retreated along the way.
This process may be simple, but it actually took an entire hour.
During this hour, although patrol soldiers passed by, the Qin army on Jiameng Pass was a third-rate Qin army, so naturally they could not expect their patrols to be as tight as Li Erlang.
Li Erlang had already fallen asleep at this time, and Li Bing got up shortly after.
After looking at the hourglass on the table used to calculate time, Li Bing stood up, walked out of the door, and said to the captain of the guard outside the door: "Let's go, go patrol with me."
Li Bing walked towards the wall.
It is not far from Daying to Guan Wall, it is only about one or two miles away. This is mainly to facilitate timely support when something really happens.
As Li Bing walked, he suddenly felt something was wrong and subconsciously looked up.
Then, he found a series of red dots flying out of his sight, and then disappeared in an instant due to the obstruction of the wall.
