Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 134 Defenders and Invaders

The cavalry and logistics troops of the Qin army advanced rapidly on the road. In the morning of the next day, the troops led by Wang Jian, Li Mu and others were not far from Pingyu.

And on the way, I have encountered the scouts of the Chu army many times, and finally resolved them without any danger, but this also shows that the position of the Chu army is getting closer and closer.

Li Mu put his hands on the railing of the chariot, trying to relax his sore feet as much as possible. This ancient chariot did not have a shock absorber system, and the vibration of a small stone on the ground could be transmitted to the soles of the feet.

After two days of continuous driving, although Li Mu was not tired, he still felt uncomfortable all over his body.

After marching forward again for a certain distance, the infantry of the Qin Army who went to Pingyu from another road also smoothly met with Wang Jian and others, and began to replenish food and grass on the spot. Li Mu was also called over at this time.

Arriving in front of Wang Jian, Wang Jian and several generals kept talking, looked at Li Mu after a while, and waved for Li Mu to get into the car.

"Ben'er, the Chu army is not far ahead, this time I will be defeated in one blow, and you will step forward to supervise the battle on my behalf."

Wang Jian called Li Mu to his side but only said this sentence, Li Mu looked stunned for a moment, but felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

I originally thought that as a logistics officer, I would not be too involved in the war, but I didn't expect to go to the battlefield in the end.

Sure enough, the system will not arrange a role for itself for no reason.

But now I have only learned two human-level skills, and I don't know if it will work or not, and I don't know if the self-taught fighting life-saving skills will come in handy.

Li Mu swallowed a mouthful of saliva immediately, but he did not refuse Wang Jian's request, he bowed his hands and accepted the order.

Wang Jian nodded in satisfaction when he saw Wang Ben leaving.

At this time, the troops began to gather quickly, and the constantly gathering Qin army formed a formation again, and quickly made preparations in this rare open area in the south.

Li Mu, as the war supervisor and Wang Jian's representative, naturally rode to the front of the team in a chariot.

There were not many chariots in the Qin Dynasty, or they were just chariots for generals. Li Mu originally thought that chariots that were very popular in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods would be the main force of the war, but now he sees more here. Cavalry and heavy infantry.

So at the moment Li Mu's chariot appeared in front, it seemed rather abrupt.

However, the morale of the soldiers of the Qin Army was like a rainbow. It was silent for a long time, and everyone was eager to gain military exploits.So in the distance, the Chu army formation, which was also precarious, looked more like fresh heads in their eyes at the moment, and they were good things that allowed them to get more titles and grant more land.

When the Chu army knew that the Qin army appeared behind them, they had already begun defensive preparations. Xiang Yan may not have expected that his strategy would be discovered by Wang Jian so quickly, and that he would now be trapped in such a two-sided attack. .

It's just that this is the battle of defending the country after all, and the sons of the Chu army are all fierce, vowing to fight to the death with the original tiger and wolf master.

The sun had already risen to the highest altitude, the sun was scorching, and the atmosphere on the battlefield was also indescribably tense.

Li Mu held the railing tightly, a carriage next to him was holding a restless horse, and a long sword on the other side was also waiting for him, all looking into the distance.

The power to start the war is in Wang Jian's hands, and Li Mu is also waiting quietly.

At the next moment, drums sounded from the rear, and loud slogans erupted among the soldiers. Li Mu couldn't hear what it was, maybe it was "kill" or "attack" or something.

In short, the next moment the surrounding cavalry and infantry all started to move forward, the swords were unsheathed, the spears were tilted backwards, and the sound of stepping forward was repeated one after another. A large number of soldiers began to step steadily around Li Mu's chariot. Li Mu also signaled the soldiers to slow down. Step forward.

Pulling out the iron sword at his waist, Li Mu also roared, raised the sword forward, and made a full gesture of a general.

The ears were suddenly replaced by noisy voices, and the black waves formed by the Qin army on my side also began to rush forward, there was a swishing sound in the sky, many arrows began to fire first, and both sides began to shoot. the fastest approach.

The battlefield here seems to lack so many tactics and so on. As soon as the two sides meet, they start to charge. The soldiers on both sides are approaching quickly, each with a fierce look.

The pawns in the middle moved very fast, and they were scrambling one by one. Even facing the Chu army who was also desperately trying to fight against each other, these Qin army soldiers also came fiercely.

Li Mu was in the formation, but he also understood why. The strict Qin law only gave these soldiers one way, that is to kill all the enemies in front of them and keep moving forward!
If you retreat, not only you will be beheaded, but your family and neighbors will also be implicated.

In front of him, he might be able to earn a few acres of land and return to his hometown. Qin Shi naturally knew what he wanted to choose.

The strict Qin law gave the soldiers absolute courage, but it also made these people miserable.

But all this has nothing to do with Li Mu. What Li Mu has to do now is to lead these fierce soldiers to defeat the Chu army in front of him.

The two sides quickly joined the battle, and the two black and brown torrents had converged tens of meters in front of Li Mu. At the junction, the weapons were shining, and the fighting was shocking, while the soldiers behind were also rushing up wave after wave.

Ancient wars are far more terrifying than modern wars, especially the close-range spatter of blood and flesh, and the interweaving of various sounds. This is the real hell.

Li Mu nervously watched the battle ahead, but gradually, Li Mu realized something was wrong.

The Chu army's offensive was even more fierce, and the Qin army in front seemed to be unable to hold on any longer!
Many soldiers of the Chu army chose to perish together without hesitation when facing the soldiers of the Qin army. Li Mu saw several Chu soldiers whose upper and lower limbs were hooked by Chang Ge desperately holding up their long swords. Among the crowd of the Qin army, every soldier of the Chu army participated in this battle with the mentality of mortal death.

Li Mu really trembled, but at this moment he suddenly understood why these Chu soldiers were so desperate.

They are not bound by such strict laws, but they are fighting for their own country. Facing these invaders who will take away their land and exploit them in the future, they will fight to the death and never let Qin The army succeeded.

This is the blood of the defenders, but it is also a blow to the invaders. Li Mu suddenly understood the most superficial bloody meaning of the phrase "expanding the territory".

Expansion of territory is a series of unjust wars, but as a person who holds up a sharp sword, he must be ruthless in cutting it down, because this is to open up territory for his country.

Li Mu turned his head and wanted to ask for help from the rear. At this time, General Qin came forward with a crossbow archer, and the thrown crossbow arrows flew a distance of tens of meters, blossomed among the Chu army, and won the victory for the soldiers. Chance.

But those Chu troops still rushed forward one after another, and the Qin army that had just overwhelmed them was forced back again.

In this plain, a struggle like a meat grinder continued.

Li Mu saw that the crossbow attack could not have a good effect, so he looked to the back immediately, wanting to know what other means Wang Jian had, but suddenly saw smoke and dust on both sides.

Li Mu took a closer look and saw that they were cavalry. When the battlefield just started, the cavalry had already been dispatched. They moved forward quickly from both sides, and it seemed that they were going to penetrate!
Li Mu clenched his fist, but at this moment the soldier next to him threw Li Mu down suddenly, and an arrow shot straight at the fence of the chariot next to him, the tail of the arrow was still buzzing and trembling.

"Captain, be careful!"

The soldier hurriedly said something, but hurriedly raised a shield next to him. At this time, Li Mu raised his head on a half-kneeling, then stood up slowly, pulled a passing Qin general beside him, and slapped him hard. Said harshly.

"Let the soldiers be sure to block it, as long as it is restrained, the cavalry will help me out!"

Li Mu already knew the plan. The huge Qin army had more manpower and material resources. Although the frontal battlefield was already fierce, the Qin army's light cavalry on both sides were able to break the dilemma the fastest. These super mobile As long as a strong unit can penetrate the Chu army's battle formation from both sides.

Then this battle must be won by the Qin army!
