Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Amidst the creaking sound, the gate of Gaoling City was opened.

The general said anxiously: "Quick, come in quickly, and then close the door!"

The officers outside the city laughed and bowed their hands to the general: "Thank you, general!"

Afterwards, the officer drew out the long sword around his waist without hesitation: "Second and third sons, follow me!"

What happened next made the Qin general on the city wall feel as though he had fallen into an ice cave.

The Qin military officer who claimed to be the messenger of the Prince's Mansion of the Qin State just now led a hundred cavalry outside the city directly into the city gate, and started killing the soldiers of the Qin army near the city gate!The soldiers of the Qin Army never thought that this "Prince Messenger Cavalry" would attack their own people, and they were caught off guard in an instant, causing countless casualties.

The general was about to burst into tears, and was yelling to order the defenders on the city wall to go down to destroy this "rebel army", but suddenly remembered something, and looked up to the outside of the city with an ashen face.

The cavalry of Zhao Jun Brigade outside the city has arrived!A smile appeared on Li Mu's face, and he shouted at the stunned Yiqu Sheng: "Did you see King Yiqu?

we won! "

Amidst Li Mu's loud laughter, 1 Chi You Army and Yiqu's cavalry alliance passed through the open gate of Gaoling City without hindrance, and rushed directly into Gaoling City!Although Gaoling City is a big city and has recruited thousands of defenders, from the moment the cavalry coalition forces rushed into the city gate, there was no suspense in the whole battle situation.

An hour later, the battle in Gaoling City was completely over.

Subsequently, a large number of Qin people were driven out of Gaoling City, and they fled along the roads outside the city crying loudly.

At dusk that day, the raging fire that once ignited in Jingyang City and many other cities of the Qin Kingdom burned again in Gaoling City!

Chapter 452 Gaoling City Was Destroyed?Why don't you withdraw your troops?

On the Guanzhong Plain, the mighty [-] garrison troops of the Qin State are marching towards Gaoling City.

The black flag was fluttering in the wind, and Wei Liao stood on the chariot of the chief general, watching the countless soldiers of the Qin Army who kept advancing in front of him and behind him, with a satisfied expression on his face.

This is what a real great Qin army should look like!If it wasn't for the fact that Li Mu was too slippery to run around with the cavalry, Wei Liao felt that he should have been able to triumphantly at this moment.

Wei Liao smiled at Meng Wu who was beside him: "General Meng Wu, we are only one day away from Gaoling City.

If Li Mu's troops continue to besiege Gaoling, this time they will definitely give them a good look! "

Meng Wu nodded and said: "To be honest with the general, the last general also hopes to have a real confrontation with Li Mu, but if he continues to escape, things will be more troublesome."

Wei Liao's face darkened slightly, this was exactly what he was worried about.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped towards the messenger carrying the messenger immediately.

"General, urgent report from Gaoling!"

Seeing this, Wei Liao immediately smiled at Meng Wu and said, "Look, did the general say that?

Li Mu would definitely attack Gaoling City. "

Meng Wu said with great admiration: "Good advice, General!"

Wei Liao smiled smugly, and opened the urgent message sent by the courier.

After just a few seconds, Wei Liao's expression changed from calm to incomparably shocked, and his body also began to tremble.

"This, how is this possible?

! ”

Meng Wu at the side knew something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "General, what happened?"

It took Wei Liao more than ten seconds to suppress the turmoil in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Gaoling City has already been breached by Li Mu!"

When he said this, Wei Liao felt surprised and angry, but also felt a little bit ashamed.

Before, he kept saying that Li Mu had absolutely nothing to do with Gaoling City, but the fact gave Wei Liao an extremely resounding slap in the face!After hearing this sentence, Meng Wu's eyes almost popped out: "How is this possible?

Li Mu only has 1 cavalry, it is impossible to break through a city like Gaoling! "

Wei Liao smiled wryly, before he could speak, there was a commotion ahead.

"what happened?"

After a while, the captain of the guard reported back: "Two generals, there are refugees from Gaoling in front of you!"

"refugee?

Quick, bring them here, General Ben has something to ask them! "

A moment later, a group of people from Qin Kingdom who looked extremely frightened and panicked, came in front of Wei Liao and Meng Ao.

Wei Liao took a deep breath and asked, "Where did you come from?"

"Return to General, we are from Gaoling."

"How is Gaoling City?"

"Gaoling City has been breached. Zhao Jun drove us all out, and then set fire to Gaoling City! Please also ask the general to decide for us."

It seemed that the fear and sadness in their hearts were really touched, and the crying began to erupt among the group of refugees.

Many soldiers of the Qin Army who passed by stopped one after another, watching these folks and elders crying bitterly, and anger slowly appeared on their faces.

People can empathize, watching this scene, Wei Liao clenched his fists unconsciously.

He knew that he was late.

Meng Wu asked from the side: "General, do you want to continue to Gaoling City?"

Meng Wu's meaning is obvious. Now that Gaoling has been burned, Li Mu must have led his army to leave. Is it still meaningful to continue to Gaoling?

Wei Liao pondered for a long time, then said coldly: "Go! This general wants to see how this damned Li Mu did it!"

At the same time, outside Gaoling City.

After a day and a night of burning, the soaring flames in Gaoling City basically disappeared, and there was still a lot of smoke floating into the sky.

The tall city walls have been blackened, and many sections have been cracked. From here, the situation inside the city can be seen.

It was a scorched black ruin, and almost none of the thousands of houses in the city survived.

It will be a very difficult task to rebuild such a city.

Li Mu also led his troops to station outside Gaoling City and did not leave.

Yi Qusheng was a little puzzled by this: "General Li Mu, Gaoling City has already been burnt down, what are we still doing here?

If you stay any longer, Qin's garrison will catch up! "

Li Mu is playing with a seal, which is the seal of Gao Ling Ling.

After hearing Yiqu Sheng's question, Li Mu smiled and said, "King Yiqu, you should remember our mission this time, right?"

Yi Qusheng nodded and said: "Of course I remember.

We are going to do our best to create chaos in Guanzhong, capture and destroy as many cities as possible, force the Qin army to withdraw, and cooperate with Wu Xinjun's actions in Zhiyi. "

Li Mu snapped his fingers: "That's right, that's right.

Then I'm going to test you. Do you think the people of Qin will choose to withdraw their troops after we have conquered so many cities, especially Jingyang and Gaoling? "

Yi Qusheng was dumbfounded for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm not the King of Qin, how can I guess what they think?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm not the King of Qin either, but I know one thing, that is, when Qin's losses reach a certain level and Guanzhong is no longer safe, whether the King of Qin is willing or not, he must make a decision to withdraw troops. "

Yi Qusheng has followed Li Mu for so many days, and he has somewhat figured out Li Mu's way of thinking.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly his body shook, and he looked at Li Mu: "What General Li Mu means?" Li Mu looked at Yi Qu Sheng approvingly: "That's right, King Yi Qu is very smart.

Now that we have caused enough damage to Guanzhong, the next thing we need to do is of course annihilate Wei Liao's garrison army! "

Xianyang, the palace city of the Qin Kingdom, the main hall.

King Qin sat at the top, his face extremely gloomy, and his beard kept trembling, as if it might erupt at any moment.

Then, he really exploded.

"First Jingyang City, then Gaoling City, how many cities will be destroyed by this Li Mu!!!"

King Qin was really angry.

If it is just occupied, then forget it, after all, this is Guanzhong, and Qin will be able to regain it sooner or later.

But Li Mu chose the most extreme method, directly burning all the occupied cities.

In this way, the damage to Qin is extremely serious.

Every time a city is occupied, it means that the city will permanently disappear from the territory of Qin State!The king of Qin was furious, and the officials of Qin State below looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them dared to speak.

After a long while, King Qin said coldly: "This Wei Liao, can he do it?

It has been so many days since he was sent to send troops, Li Mu was not caught, but Li Mu occupied Gaoling City instead, it is unreasonable! "

Fan Sui's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, it's not that Wei Liao doesn't want to fight Li Mu, it's that Li Mu's troops are all cavalry with extremely fast speed, and Wei Liao's infantry army basically has two legs, and it's really impossible to catch up with them. Li Mu's four legs."

The King of Qin was furious, and said: "Could it be that the widow just watched Li Mu continue to wreak havoc in Guanzhong?"

At this moment, Ying Zichu stood up and said seriously, "Father, I have something to say."

"Say!"

"Father, please withdraw your troops from Zhiyi!"

Chapter 453 You don't all think that the Marquis is going to lose, do you?

Ying Zichu repeated the old words, causing the hall to fall into silence again.

In the majestic hall, many Qin ministers dressed in fancy clothes seemed to have been turned into clay statues, and they dared not move.

King Qin took a deep breath, looked at Ying Zi and said, "Withdraw the troops?"

Ying Zichu nodded and said: "Father, since Wei Liao is sure that he can't catch up with Li Mu, then we must have more troops to surround Li Mu with Wei Liao.

So, it's time to withdraw troops from Jieup.

Even if not all of them retreated, at least part of the troops would have to be mobilized back for reinforcements.

Otherwise, let Li Mu continue to wreak havoc in Guanzhong, and the destruction of the city will come second. The blow to the hearts of the people in Guanzhong is what is really worrying. "

Ying Zichu's words sounded quite reasonable, and King Qin began to waver.

Indeed, I thought that a single garrison could handle Li Mu.

But it turns out that the garrison is really not enough to deal with Li Mu.

King Qin looked at Fan Sui and said, "Yinghou, what do you think?"

Fan Sui's face changed slightly, and it took a while before he said helplessly: "The old minister has no objection."

Although Fan Sui did not support the withdrawal of troops from Zhiyi before, but the current situation is indeed here, and Fan Sui is helpless.

Qin Wang nodded and said: "Very well, then immediately send someone to Zhiyi to send an order to ask Meng Ao to dispatch [-] soldiers and horses to help!"

Qin Wang thought about it and gave a relatively conservative figure.

After the transfer of 12 soldiers and horses, there are still [-] Qin troops left on the front line of Zhiyi, which still has a sufficient numerical advantage over Zhao Jun.

After making a decision, the King of Qin gritted his teeth and said: "Send someone to send an order to Wei Liao. I can tolerate that Wei Liao can't catch up with Li Mu because of the speed problem, but I can't tolerate any big Qin city falling again! If the next If something like this happens, Wei Liao, the chief general of the garrison, will stop doing it!"

Under the five-hundred-mile rush of the Qin State's fast horse, Wei Liao received this order from the King of Qin the next afternoon.

After hearing King Qin's order, Wei Liao's complexion was a bit complicated, and he said to Meng Wu beside him, "This time we are the ones to vent the king's anger."

Meng Wu said helplessly: "There is no way to do this, who made the king place high hopes on us?"

At this moment, a scout from the Qin army galloped over, his face excited: "General, we found Zhao Jun's camp outside the ruins of Gaoling City!"

"What?" Wei Liao and Meng Wu were taken aback at the same time, and asked, "Are you sure it's the main force of Zhao Jun Li Mu's troops?"

The scout said: "From the perspective of scale, it is definitely a camp of ten thousand people!"

Wei Liao and Meng Wu looked at each other, and they both saw surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes.

Meng Wu was both surprised and delighted, but at the same time half-believed: "Could it be that Zhao Jun wants to have a decisive battle with us?"

Wei Liao snorted, and smiled coldly: "This Li Mu seems to have drifted away. After conquering a few cities, he doesn't take our Daqin soldiers seriously."

Meng Wu's heart trembled, and he reminded: "General, judging from the previous record, the reason why Li Mu was able to gain the trust of Lord Wu Xin is not without reason.

Since Your Majesty has already said that reinforcements are being dispatched from Zhiyi to assist Guanzhong, then we might as well confront Li Mu here for a few days and wait until the reinforcements return before making any plans. "

This sentence immediately aroused Wei Liao's dissatisfaction, only to see Wei Liao snorted heavily, and said, "Stall for a few days?

It would take seven or eight days from receiving orders from Zhiyi to returning the troops, if it was fast, it would not be impossible if it was slow or more than ten days.
