Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Li Mu was full of murderous intent, and rushed into the village with a spear in his hand.

Many Huns cavalry were having fun in the village, sleeping, drinking, and looked up in surprise after hearing the sound of horseshoes.

Li Mu rode his horse and rushed to him, stabbing down with his long spear. Without any chance to parry, a Hun centurion was directly pierced with a blood hole in his chest, and hung up like a candied haws.

With a flick of Li Mu's spear, the centurion's body flew out, knocking down the two Hun cavalrymen who had just jumped up with two bangs.

"Not a single one!"

With a roar from Li Mu, countless Chi You cavalry rushed to kill him.

As Zhao Kuo's meticulously trained Chi You army for many years and invested countless resources, it has long been the strongest cavalry in the contemporary era.

Even if it is a frontal confrontation, it is very simple for Chi You's army to defeat the same number of Hun cavalry. What's more, the Hun cavalry is not in formation at all, and they are scattered around the village.

A massacre started here, but unlike the situation that was often staged in the past half month, this time it was no longer the Zhao people who were massacred, but the Xiongnu invaders from the northern grassland!Some Huns reacted and knew something was wrong, so they rushed out of the house naked, jumped on their horses, and flew towards the back door of the village.

Just when these dozens of Huns rushed out of the back gate of the village, another rain of arrows came, directly shooting these Huns into sieves.

As the number one general under Zhao Kuo, Li Mu certainly would not make the mistake of letting the enemy escape easily. He also arranged a 500-man cavalry behind the village.

After just half an hour, this short battle was over.

Li Mu rode his horse in the middle of the village, with a long spear in his hand pointing to the ground, the tip of the spear was dripping with blood, and in the other hand he was holding the head of a Hun General who had died so badly.

"How many Huns were killed?"

Li Mu asked.

A military judge replied respectfully: "General, the total number of heads currently counted is 1000!"

Li Mu nodded, and said coldly: "Send the order to throw all the corpses of these Huns to the side of the mountain, and there will naturally be scavengers to help them deal with them! As for their heads," a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Li Mu's mouth.

Another half an hour later, a Jingguan was built at the gate of the village.

The so-called Jingguan is to cut off the heads of all the enemy soldiers and stack them up like a pyramid.

The scene was very bloody and shocking, and there was a moment of silence.

Li Mu pointed at Jingguan, and said coldly: "Everyone, when you ordered me to lead you here, the lords said a word. Anyone who violates our Great Zhao will be punished no matter how far away! The Huns burned, killed and looted in the territory of Great Zhao. You have also seen the tragic situation of countless dead and injured people along the way.

Today is the beginning of my big Zhao's official revenge! "

Li Mu's voice fell, and everyone in Chi You's army raised their arms and shouted: "Big Zhao Wansheng!"

"The Xiongnu thieves must be killed!"

There was a blazing light in everyone's eyes.

Li Mu took a deep breath and turned to look at the entrance of the village.

There, hundreds of Zhao women and children in scanty clothes stared tremblingly at this side, and there seemed to be some kind of emotion in their eyes.

Li Mu thought for a while, jumped off the horse, and came to a boy who looked fourteen or fifteen years old and was the oldest boy present.

"What's your name?"

The boy said very cautiously: "Yu, Youhu."

Li Mu took out a fine steel dagger from his pocket and put it in Youhu's hand.

"Wu Xinjun's army will arrive soon, and I will continue to go north to hunt down the Huns.

Can you protect these compatriots of yours? "

Youhu took a deep breath and said loudly, "I can!"

There was also a certain light in the boy's eyes.

Behind the young man, more young men stood up.

"General, we also want weapons, and we also want to protect our loved ones!"

Li Mu looked at these Zhao country youths, they were dressed in rags, and almost everyone had wounds on their bodies and faces, which were marks of severe beatings.

If it weren't for Li Mu, these young men from the Zhao Kingdom would have been brought back to the grassland by the Huns, and they would have become herdsmen for the Huns for the rest of their lives.

Li Mu took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Give them weapons!"

A moment later, looking at the hundreds of Zhao Guo youths with resolute faces holding weapons in front of him, Li Mu said in a deep voice: "Always remember what happened today, and always remember that no matter when and where, you must become stronger, so that you can Protect whoever you want to protect!"

Li Mu pulled the reins fiercely, and led two thousand Chi You army knights away.

Chapter 558 The Concubine family retreats, Zhao Kuo is on alert (fifth change)

Although Li Mu had considered all aspects during the battle, he was not familiar with this village after all. He didn't know that besides the front and rear two gates, there was actually an abandoned side gate in the village that could still be entered and exited.

The two Xiongnu soldiers left quietly through the side door, and then fled back to the Hun army camp dozens of miles away while Li Mu was killing other Huns and Li Jingguan, and asked to see the Suoda family immediately the patriarch.

Looking at the two Xiongnu soldiers kneeling in front of him, the patriarch of the Suoda clan had a stern expression on his face, and there was a stern flash in his eyes.

"You mean, in less than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Jun's cavalry slaughtered almost everyone in the village, including General Lu?"

The two Hun soldiers kowtowed again and again: "Patriarch, it is true, we are absolutely speaking."

The patriarch of the Suojia clan waved his hand to signal the two Hun soldiers to retreat, and then said to the other Hun generals in the big tent, "What do you think?"

All the people present were the generals of the Tongda clan, and the Tongda clan was also the only tribe among the four major tribes of the Huns that went south to enter the Daijun.

Sitting on the left hand of the patriarch of the Suoda clan is his eldest son Luan Hezhen, at this moment Luan Hezhen said in a deep voice: "Father, or Lu Nai is our fierce general of the Suoda clan, even if he fights hastily, he can't die so quickly.

So there are only two possibilities for this matter. One is that the two fugitive slaves lied, and the other is that the Zhao Jun knights are indeed very powerful! "

After He Zhen finished speaking, the atmosphere in the big tent became more and more dull.

One of the generals of the Suan family couldn't help but said: "We have traveled all over the territory of Zhao these days, but we haven't seen any decent troops."

Luan Hezhen sneered and said, "Is this really the case?

Uncle, if I remember correctly, it took you two days to lead two thousand cavalry to attack a small town guarded by only one hundred soldiers from the Zhao people, right?

If it hadn't been for Zhao Guoren being caught off guard by us this time, I'm afraid our soldiers and horses of the Tongda clan might not have been able to advance here so smoothly. "

"All right."

The patriarch of the Luan clan frowned and interrupted the quarrel between the two: "The current situation is that Or Lu is dead, and he also died with 1000 or two hundred Luan warriors! This time we only brought There are 8000 people, and now there are only more than 6000 people left, but we don't know how many reinforcements are coming from Zhao Guo.

Ten thousand?

Twenty thousand?

even more?

Give me an order to go down, we will retreat immediately and go north to join the other three ministries! "

As soon as the patriarch of the Tongda clan finished speaking, the faces of several generals of the Tongda clan changed immediately, but no one dared to speak out against it.

It is not that no one will oppose this patriarch, but all those who once opposed this patriarch have now become food for vultures, and their bones are left to rot on the grassland.

Half a day later, thousands of cavalry from the Suoda family began to set off one after another, continuing to go north.

What the patriarch of the Lian clan didn't expect was that Li Mu arrived much faster than they imagined.

Li Mu had already arrived at the camp just the day after the Suoda family had left.

"The Huns were still there yesterday?"

Looking at the basically abandoned camp in front of him, Li Mu didn't choose to pursue immediately, but walked around the camp first.

Through several unique imprints, Li Mu recognized the identity of this Xiongnu army.

"Mr. Chuan!"

Li Mu's expression became ferocious.

As a veteran who had served in Gaoquesai, Li Mu knew the four major tribes of the Xiongnu very well.

Lan's, Xu Bu's, Huyan's and Lian's.

Among the four major tribes, the Shuo family has always been very low-key, but it is the most brutal tribe.

Wherever Mrs. Zhang went, no dog or chicken would stay behind!This can also explain why the tragic situation of the army and people of Zhao State in Daijun came all the way.

Li Mu took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Chasing, we must catch up, and prevent these damned Huns from returning to the grassland!"

Two thousand Zhao cavalrymen followed Li Mu without stopping.

A day later, Zhao Kuo led a large group of Chi You's troops to arrive here.

It's not that Zhao Kuo's speed is slow, but the steep road of Taihang Mountain really hinders the progress of the cavalry.

From Handan to Daijun, if it is on the plain, it will take two to three days at most, but Zhao Kuo spent a full eight days this time!Looking at the abandoned Huns camp in front of him, and listening to the report from the scouts left by Li Mu, Zhao Kuo's expression gradually became serious.

"Is it the Tongda clan?" People in this era naturally don't know much about the Tongda clan. At most, they know that it is one of the four major clans of the Huns, but Zhao Kuo is different.

As a time traveler, Zhao Kuo is very aware of the specialness of this Shuda family.

In history, it was Luan Maodun who came from the Shuo family who unified the Xiongnu unprecedentedly, transformed the Xiongnu from a tribal alliance into a nomadic empire, and officially opened the millennium of grievances between the northern nomadic empire and the southern Central Plains dynasty in Chinese history. .

Although Mouton should not have been born yet, the rise of the Shuda family is almost inevitable in history. Mouton Shanyu's father, Touman, was already the leader of the Huns.

Zhao Kuo was very calm, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send people to the northern counties and tell all the military chiefs not to act rashly, just gather and stick to it.

We must wait until the Marquis arrives before launching a counterattack against the Huns! "

Although everyone thinks that the Huns are weak, even Zhao Kuo himself thinks so, but the war is not a simple war game, let alone whoever is strong can win.

Along the way, Zhao Kuo clearly saw the tormented appearance of Dai Junzhong, which also made him vigilant.

The Huns are definitely a very ferocious enemy. Such an enemy cannot and should not be underestimated.

If the Huns cannot be beaten and disabled at one time, and the main force of these Huns escape to the grassland, it will be several times or even dozens of times more difficult to catch them in the future than it is now, and the time it will take is also the same. in this way.

Zhao Kuo didn't want to sit in the northern border county for several years or even decades.

Zhao Kuo's order spread rapidly towards the north, and at the same time his soldiers and horses were also heading north non-stop.

Passing through Xiawu Mountain in the north of Daijun, you will arrive at the site of Yanmen County in Zhao State, which is also the place where Zhao State was most severely poisoned by the Huns.

Zhao Kuo made up his mind to settle with the Huns there!But to Zhao Kuo's surprise, when his order was transmitted to the northern counties, there were unexpected changes, which even affected the entire battle situation later.

Chapter 559 Why do we obey Zhao Kuo's order?

Just as Zhao Kuo was heading north non-stop, another Zhao army was also marching west non-stop. hx

This army is the main force of the Zhao State Frontier Cavalry Corps.

As the main force responsible for defending the northern border of Zhao State, the border cavalry corps is actually very large, with a total of more than 5 people.

However, such a large army needs to be stationed on the vast border line thousands of miles from Yinshan to the west of Liaoning, and the strength of 5 troops is far from enough.

Due to insufficient defense, when the Huns invaded Yanmen, more than 3000 Zhao army cavalry in Yanmen County's multiple beacon tower posts on the Great Wall were defeated respectively, and the gate of Yanmen County was opened.

Afterwards, the Huns attacked quickly, and Zhao Jun's frontier cavalry corps fell into the disadvantageous situation of fighting on their own. The two counties of Yanmen County and Dai County could hardly form any perfect resistance force.

In such an extremely unfavorable situation, the other three counties in the north of Zhao State, Jiuyuan, Wuyuan and Yunzhong urgently organized a cavalry force of 2 people and entered Yanmen County.

According to the order of Handan, the cavalry of the [-] side cavalry regiments will naturally be restrained by Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, and they will fight against the Xiongnu soldiers and horses together.

Before Zhao Kuo arrived, the chief and deputy generals of the [-] cavalry were Wei Leqi of Wuyuan County and Lianjing of Jiuyuan County.

It is easy to see from the names alone that these two are inseparable from Le Cheng and Lian Po, the two giants in Zhao's political arena. Le Qi is the younger brother of Le Cheng, and Lian Jing is Lian Po. Quite eldest son.

Le Cheng is now the great Sima of the State of Zhao, a well-deserved important minister of the State of Zhao, while Lian Po has been dismissed from office, and the gap between the two parties is obvious.

So Le Qiben did his part to be the chief general, while Lian Jing was also a county lieutenant, but he could only be the second-in-command.

Just after setting up camp that night, Le Qi sent someone to find Lian Jing, saying that he had something important to discuss.

In the handsome tent, Lian Jing sat at the bottom, and his tone was quite polite: "I don't know what's the matter with the general?"

Le Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Lian Po with a respectful expression, somewhat complacent in his heart.

Both of them are in their 40s and belong to the same generation. They were also the "second generation" who were in Zhao Guo's powerful circle back then.

At that time, Lian Jing's father, Lian Po, won the trust of Zhao Huiwang and was the number one general of Zhao State, while Le Qi's elder brother, Le Cheng, was only a second-rate general of Zhao State, so Le Qi was Lian Jing for a long time. follower.

But now, the person who once made Leqi respectful sits in front of Leqi, bowing his head and waiting for Leqi's order. This is called "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi".

Le Qi coughed and said lightly: "General Lian Jing, I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you."

Lian Jing hurriedly said: "The general has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Le Qi said lightly: "The general just got the news that more than 2 Hun cavalry are besieging Pingyin City.
