Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"Xihou, a large number of cavalry were found ten miles to the east of the city. They may be the reinforcements of the Zhao people!"

Chapter 482 Po Yuezhi people, why should they be surprised? (fourth more)

"Reinforcements from the Zhao people?" Massagai was slightly startled, and hurriedly asked, "Have you figured out how many people there are?"

The scout replied: "About 1 people!"

"1 people?" Massage showed a surprised expression, and asked again: "Is it cavalry or infantry?"

"All are cavalry!"

Masagai was furious when he heard the words, suddenly raised the whip in his hand, and whipped it at a Yuezhi general beside him without thinking: "Didn't you fool say that there are only four thousand people in the entire Linhu territory?" Cavalry? Could it be that these ten thousand Zhao cavalry fell from the sky?"

Since Massagai is the coach of the Yuezhi people, even though the Yuezhi general saw the whip coming, he didn't dare to dodge at all. An obvious wound was pulled out, dripping with blood.

Massagai shouted at the Yuezhi general angrily, "Say, what's going on?"

"Xihou, those Zhao prisoners told the last general, and the last general just told the truth!" General Yuezhi covered the wound on his face and called out to Tianqu.

The expression on Massagai's face gradually turned cold: "Could it be that all the prisoners of Zhao State said that?"

"Yes, all the captives said that there are only two small towns, each with two thousand cavalry!"

Ma Sagai snorted heavily, and said, "There are only so few people, don't Zhao people be afraid of Qin people going north?"

Speaking of which, the Yueshi and Qin are also considered neighboring countries.

The general replied with a bitter face: "These captives say that Zhao State has defeated Qin State several times recently, and the people of Qin State dare not take the initiative to go north!"

After Massagai heard these words, his face suddenly became a little cloudy and uncertain.

It is very simple to find out if this Yuezhi general is lying, and then send other people to interrogate Zhao's prisoners.

So Massagai felt that unless this subordinate was kicked in the head by a horse's hoof, it would be impossible for him to lie about such a matter.

If this is the case, then how did this Zhao Guo reinforcements appear here?

Massagay was a little confused.

But soon Massagai made up his mind. There were only [-] Zhao cavalry around, and the force was only half of Massagai. What is there to be afraid of?

But having said that, it is obviously impossible to continue the next siege operation. After all, the Yuezhi people have been fighting for a day now, and their physical strength is almost exhausted. If Zhao Jun stabs him from the back, the result will be terrible. Really unpredictable.

It is better to withdraw the troops and return to the camp first, and then look for opportunities tomorrow.

So Massagai waved his hand: "Send the order, and immediately withdraw the troops and return to the camp!"

Another whining horn sounded, but this time the horn sound changed from the long and thick tone of the attack to an incomparably short continuous sound.

Under the dusk sky, thousands of Yuezhi cavalry slowly left the city wall and retreated into the Yuezhi camp.

Following the retreat of the Yuezhi people, a burst of cheers erupted from the top of Dingxi City.

Many Zhao soldiers hugged each other and shouted excitedly, some silently bandaged the wounds of Pao Ze, and some quietly sat beside the corpses of their comrades and wept.

Organized civilian husbands everywhere to help in the battle, Chen Teng, the county guard who was so busy that he heard the news, ran to the city wall in a hurry.

"Lieutenant Wu, did the Yue clan really retreat?"

Standing there covered in blood, Wu Sheng's clothes and armor were stained with blood. He smiled brightly at Chen Teng, and showed off his big yellow teeth by the way.

"That's right, the enemy has retreated!"

Chen Teng glanced at the soldiers of the Yue clan who kept returning to the camp outside the city, his face was happy at first, and then he showed a puzzled expression: "It's for no reason, why did the Yue clan retreat their troops?"

Although he has been coordinating various affairs in the city, Chen Teng also knows that the city will soon lose its hold.

Wu Sheng shook his head, and was about to say something, when he suddenly felt something, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the east.

A dull sound of horseshoes came from afar, and smoke and dust billowed under the still bright eastern sky, and countless cavalrymen appeared and appeared in the smoke and dust.

More importantly, it was the flag of Zhao State that was still extremely bright red amidst the billowing smoke and the rays of the setting sun.

The next moment, Wu Sheng, who had always shown himself as a cold-faced general in Dingxi City, suddenly roared without warning.

"Reinforcements, our reinforcements are here!!"

The next moment, the jubilation in Dingxi City reached its peak.

It was Zhao Guo's reinforcements led by Li Mu who came, a total of [-] cavalry from the Central Army and [-] local cavalry from Hetao County, but perhaps because of their huge momentum, they were mistaken by the Yuezhi people for tens of thousands of cavalry. as much.

After all, in the billowing smoke and dust, it is really difficult to tell whether a cavalry number is [-] or [-] without getting close.

Perhaps because they were afraid of Zhao Guo's reinforcements, or because they knew that the soldiers and civilians who had withdrawn from the city would not be able to escape, the Yuezhi people removed the siege to the east and south of Dingxi City.

Half an hour later, Li Mu appeared in front of the prefect Chen Teng and prefect Wu Sheng.

"There are only seven hundred cavalry in the city?" Li Mu frowned.

To be honest, the casualties in Dingxi City were higher than what Li Mu had imagined.

Of the 700 soldiers defending the city, there were only [-] left after a day's fighting, which showed how fierce the battle was.

If this is the case, then Li Mu should have 700 cavalry, but now there are at most [-] cavalry.

Seeing Li Mu's dignified expression, the county guard Chen Teng couldn't help but raise his heart again, and hurriedly asked, "General Li Mu, is the situation serious?"

Although Chen Teng has also heard about Li Mu's deeds of defeating Lin Hu with a small victory, after all, Chen Teng has not experienced that war against Lin Hu. Instead, he witnessed the ferocity of the Yuezhi people here today, so in his heart The evaluation of the Yuezhi people is naturally higher.

Li Mu raised his head, and did not answer Chen Teng's question, but turned to Wu Sheng who was standing aside and asked, "Junwei, can I ask you about today's battle situation?"

At first, Wu Sheng thought that the young general was dissatisfied with the heavy casualties, but after Li Mu asked a few questions, he realized that Li Mu really wanted to understand the situation of the war, and he didn't dare to neglect it right now. He explained today's battle situation.

Finally, Wu Sheng said worriedly: "These Yuezhi people are so tyrannical, no wonder they were able to defeat the Xiongnu one after another. There is indeed a reason."

Contrary to Wu Sheng's dignified expression, after Li Mu listened to Wu Sheng's words, the expression on Li Mu's face was much more relaxed, and he even showed a little smile.

"Please don't worry about the governor and the county lieutenant. After tomorrow, the siege of Dingxi City should be lifted."

Chen Teng, the county guard, was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "Has General Li Mu thought of a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Li Mu smiled slightly, and there was a certain kind of look in his eyes.

"Why do you need to be surprised if you break this Yue clan? All you need is an upright teacher."

Chapter 483 Zhao Guoren, it's all about bows and arrows! (first update)

In the early morning of the next day, Massagai gathered his team early and drove out of the camp.
