Chapter 42 Seeing the pit and jumping down(1/2)

The war was indeed as Shen Bing thought.

Li Mu's Northern Goblin Cavalry attacked everywhere, sometimes attacking Linzhang and sometimes attacking Anyang.

This Great Wall originally belonged to Zhao State. Li Mu and others were very familiar with it, and the nearby terrain was naturally not unfamiliar with it.

Therefore, the cavalry always suddenly appeared in the weak part of the Great Wall to launch fierce attacks and then disappeared before the Qin army organized its defense.

Chen Bing had an illusion that he felt that the Zhao army was enough to break through the Great Wall several times, but they did not do so.

Later, Chen Bing realized that this was not an illusion, and Li Mu did this intentionally.

Even Li Mu's generals were puzzled by this.

"General!"

"Why don't we break through the Great Wall and make the Qin army attack on both sides?"

"But you want to get entangled with it in the north?"

Li Mu looked at the soldiers siegeing the city and asked without answering:

"Do you know, what situation will we face if we break through the Great Wall?"

The general thought about it and shook his head and replied:

"I don't know."

If he knew, he wouldn't have asked that.

Li Mu answered slowly word by word:

"We can only wait for five thousand elite cavalry, but the Qin army has tens of thousands of people on the Great Wall."

"If our army breaks through the Great Wall and enters the south, the main force must stick to a certain section of the Great Wall to ensure contact."

"If our army uses its main force to defend the Great Wall and fight to the death with tens of thousands of infantry in the Qin army..."

"What if you win in the end?"

When the general heard this, he couldn't help but admire Li Mu and was so overwhelmed.

What this is true.

The biggest advantage of cavalry lies in its mobility.

If a cavalry breaks into the other side of the Great Wall, they have to defend a certain section of the Great Wall...

It will force all cavalry to give up their mobility and concentrate on one place to garrison.

At that time, even if the five thousand elite cavalry could defeat the Qin army with one block, they would have won a miserable victory.

It’s better to do this now, and call here and there.

The Qin army ran around and felt that there were crises everywhere, but they could not find the main force of the Zhao army, so they could only be beaten passively.

This is not only consuming the Qin army's vitality, but also consuming the Qin army's morale and combat will.

When the Zhao infantry arrived later, the Qin army was no longer lucky.

I have to say that Li Mu has a very good grasp of the situation.

At this time, the Qin army was filled with an atmosphere of frustration and failure.

This feeling of being played with by Zhao Jun like a cat is not good.

Sometimes reinforcements are there and sometimes reinforcements are here.

Sometimes, before they even arrived at their destination, they received information that the Zhao army had withdrawn, so they returned empty-handed without even seeing the enemy.

It would be fine if it was once or twice.

In the past few days, each army has said that it has been running around like this for more than ten times.

Sometimes I thought I would not provide reinforcements anyway, but I didn’t expect the Zhao army to launch another fierce attack, which caused heavy losses.

When the military situation is urgent, even the artillery masters cannot avoid the pain of running around...

When resting, Huo sat on the stone and complained:

"This Zhao Jun is so hateful."

"When will we still play with our army like this?"

"As a hero, I set up a formation to fight us to the death!"

Chen Bing smiled in his heart.

How can this marching war be described as "hero"?

Why didn’t Li Mu take advantage of this?

Cang said with dissatisfaction: "If you continue to fight like this, I will wait sooner or later..."

Xun interrupted Cang with a stern voice:

"Shut up!"

"You can't tolerate too much!"

As he said that, Xun looked around with a restless look, warning:

"Seven more soldiers were sentenced to death for escaping last night."

"Everyone remember that our death is small, but the disaster will be big."

"Remember, remember!"

The craftsmen around couldn't help but remain silent.

Xun is talking about the "continuous position" system.

One person escapes not only with the soldiers being co-selected, but also will harm the family.

Defeating titles and whipping can be considered light, and if you are demoted to slaves and exiled, you will never be able to turn over.

Unless they can kill the enemy like they do to make contributions to redeem themselves.

However, even if there are still people who take risks and run away desperately, this shows how low morale is.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost everyone does not think that the Qin army can win this battle.

In other words, everyone thinks that this time I will die here.

Fatty Zitun handed the goblet to Chen Bing and said, "Mr. Gongcheng, take a drink of water!"

Chen Bing nodded to express his gratitude.

The gong is shaped like a cow's horn. It was originally a container for wine. It is usually used as a kettle in the army. It is convenient to tie hemp ropes on both ends and carry them on the back.

Chen Bing lifted the cover and raised his head and took a few sips, then handed it back to Fatty Tun.

"Mr....Mr.." Fatty Zitun did not leave, and hesitated and stopped talking.

Chen Bingqi said: "Is there anything wrong?"

"No, no...no...no...it's okay!" Fatty Zitun shook his hands, but the beads of sweat that were as big as beads on his forehead betrayed him.

Shen Bing raised his head in the direction of Zhao Army:

"Say it if you have something!"

"If it's too late, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to say it."

Fatty Tun then mustered up the courage and said:

"Mr. Gongcheng, I have a bad request!"

"I want to be a teacher at Gongcheng."

"I wonder if Gong Cheng is willing to accept this apprentice of his subordinate?"

Shen Bing couldn't help but have an accident.

At this time?

No one knows how long he can live in this day and night?

Apprentice to a master?

Chen Bing smiled and asked:

"Do you know I haven't been waiting for long?"

Fatty Zitun replied: "I know."

Chen Bing's puzzled question:

"Why do you have to do this more than that?"

"Even if I agree, what can I teach you?"

Fatty Tun answered:

"It is precisely because I know that my subordinates want to make a wish before they die!"
