Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"Surprise attack?" Facing the demands of many generals, Li Mu slowly shook his head: "Wang Jian seems to be a very cautious person. If he forces a surprise attack, he may be taken advantage of by Wang Jian instead. We should wait for Wang Jian's arrival first. Bar."

Of course, during the days waiting for Wang Jian, Li Mu was not idle.

Thanks to Zhen Tianlei's help, Chongquan City was also successfully conquered.

It was at this time that a very special force rushed to Li Mu's camp, and brought another special weapon to Li Mu.

"Governor, we call this a grenade." A craftsman stood in front of Li Mu and said to Li Mu: "The outer shell of this thing is made of iron, and the inside is cough cough, which is inconvenient to say. , In short, please take a look at the governor.”

The craftsman skillfully ignited the fuse on the grenade, then threw the grenade into a group of scarecrows that had been tied dozens of steps away, and then pulled Li Mu and others to dodge into the bunker that had already been dug.

"Boom!" After a loud bang, smoke filled the air.

Li Mu and others came out of the bunker and came to the scarecrow that had been blown up and down.

These scarecrows are all wearing light and heavy armor of the Qin army seized from Jingyang City. It can be clearly seen that these armors cannot resist the power of grenades at close range.

After all, the power of the grenade explosion is not only in the gunpowder, but also in the impact of the fragments after the explosion.

From the scarecrow in the center of the explosion, which was swaying here and there, the leather armor was full of cracks, the power of the impact of these fragments could be felt.

Li Mu and Zhao Kuo looked at each other, and they both saw the fiery look in each other's eyes.

"This thing is definitely a sharp weapon for dealing with the infantry of the Qin army!"

The infantry of the Qin people has always been known for their strong combat effectiveness. At the peak, they can be said to be invincible in the world.

We must know that the infantry of the Qin army, or the infantry of this era, are accustomed to advancing in a dense group when they are in contact with the field, and this method of advancing combat is the way in which grenades can exert their greatest power.

Li Mu hurriedly asked the craftsman in front of him, "How many grenades did you bring this time?"

The craftsman said: "Back to the governor, due to the long distance and inconvenient transportation, and the production process of this kind of grenade is still under exploration and the output is not too high, so this time there are only three carts of grenades, about a thousand pieces .”

"It's only a thousand pieces?" Li Mu was slightly disappointed, but soon became happy: "A thousand pieces is not bad, as long as it is used properly, it will definitely be enough to teach the people of Qin an unforgettable lesson!"

On the day he got the grenade, Li Mu made another decision.

"The whole army continues to advance eastward and take Chongquan City!"

Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but said: "Could it be that the general wants to take advantage of the Qin army's crossing of Luoshui to attack it halfway?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Wang Jian is a cautious person, he probably wouldn't give us this chance."

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said: "It is indeed the case, so the general's plan is"

Li Mu waved his hand aggressively, and said with a smile: "My plan is very simple. Chongquan City is the first stronghold of the Qin army after crossing the Luoshui River. Once Chongquan City is captured by our army, then wait until Wang Jian is captured by our army." When defeated, his troops can only escape to Luoshui to feed the fish and shrimps!"

With Li Mu's order, the [-] Zhao cavalry marched eastward, and arrived at Chongquan City two days later, completing the encirclement of Chongquan City.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a burst of thick smoke that shook the sky, a wall of Chongquan City collapsed. The Zhao Jun cavalry who were accustomed to this scene did not hesitate, and cheered and drove their horses into Chongquan City. , began their favorite battle to break the city.

"Chongquan City has been breached?" Wang Jian had just arrived west of Luoshui when he heard very bad news.

This made Wang Jian hesitant.

Wei Liao said worriedly: "General, I always feel that Li Mu seems to have malicious intentions this time."

Wang Jian looked at the Luoshui flowing in front of him, and after a long while, he said in a daze: "That's right, Li Mu is very likely to want to have a decisive battle with us here!"

"A decisive battle?" Wei Liao's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but said, "Li Mu only has [-] cavalry under his command, so he really dares to fight our army?"

Wang Jian snorted, and said, "You don't know, cavalry and infantry are different. As long as [-] cavalry are used properly, it is not impossible to defeat our army. Maybe Li Mu has already set up an ambush at this moment, waiting for our army to enter the bag." Hit. If the thunderbolt is used well, it will definitely cause heavy losses to our army!"

Wei Liao said: "Since Li Mu may set up an ambush west of Luoshui, it's better for our army to choose another place to cross the river. In fact, in my opinion, it's better not to fall into Li Mu's plan and delay crossing the river!"

Wang Jian thought for a while, and said: "It makes sense, how about this, pass on the order and order the army to go south for a hundred miles, and then cross Luoshui!"

"The Qin people have gone south?" Li Mu was also taken aback after hearing the news, and then laughed: "It seems that Wang Jian is also worried about the ambush of the governor, but he really thinks that a mere hundred miles can stop the general. Is there any cavalry? Come on, send an order to the governor immediately, and the army will move out immediately and follow the Qin army to the south! By the way, you can’t walk in front of the Qin people, otherwise Wang Jian will not dare to cross the river. Let’s go tomorrow! "

The half-crossing attack that Wang Jian had expected in advance did not happen. It took a full two days for the 20 Qin troops to cross the Luoshui River one after another and arrive at the west bank of the Luoshui River.

It was at this time that Wang Jian received the reports from the scouts.

"General, a large number of cavalry were found twenty miles to the north, most likely the main force of the Zhao army!"

Chapter 854 First Encounter (First Update)

The fact that the main force of the Zhao army was discovered did not make Wang Jian seem so nervous. On the contrary, the moment the chief general of the Qin army heard the news, he suddenly felt excited from the bottom of his heart.

Li Mu is here.

As long as Li Mu can be defeated, then Wang Jian will stop the decline of Qin State when it faced Zhao State in these years.

At that time, Wang Jian will become a great hero of the Qin State in the true sense, and he will be the one who will be famous in history.

As a general and a courtier, who wouldn't want to enjoy such glory?

What's more, according to Wang Jian's original plan, even if Li Mu didn't come to find him, then Wang Jian would find a way to find Li Mu.

So for Wang Jian, the current situation is really what he wished for!

Wang Jian took a deep breath and issued an order.

"Immediately send the order down, the whole army is in formation, ready to meet the enemy!"

This time Li Mu came in a surprise attack, obviously he didn't want to give Wang Jian any time to set up camp, otherwise, once Wang Jian set up camp, he would be able to use various defensive measures to delay or even destroy Li Mu's cavalry attack. This was not the result Li Mu wanted to see.

So before the battle was fought, Wang Jian, who had no time to set up camp, was actually at a disadvantage.

But Wang Jian didn't think he was at a disadvantage, because from Wang Jian's own point of view, the mobility of the Qin army was no match for Zhao's army, so the power to start the war was completely in Zhao's hands, so if Li Mu didn't want to If you fight, then Wang Jian really has nothing to do.

Therefore, if Wang Jian wanted to start a war with Li Mu, he would definitely have to pay some price first, which was also a helpless thing.

It is actually not an easy task for a 20 army to change from a marching formation to a combat formation, but fortunately, thanks to Wang Jian's foresight, the Qin army still got enough time to deploy the formation.

After more than an hour, the billowing smoke and dust began to come from the north. The Qin army, which had been fully deployed, was watching the north quietly from top to bottom. A pre-war atmosphere began to descend.

Wang Jian stood calmly on a special general's chariot, and the commander's flag was flying high behind Wang Jian, letting all the soldiers of the Qin army know where their general was.

The spreading speed of dust and smoke in the distance has gradually slowed down, which means that Zhao Guoren has begun to slow down slowly.

About four or five miles away, Zhao's cavalry finally stopped completely.

What must be said is that if [-] cavalry are placed in front of any person, that person will immediately feel a great pressure.

Wang Jian did not order to launch an attack, but quietly waited for something.

Li Mu, who was in the distance, looked at the motionless Qin army formation, obviously a little disappointed.
