Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

In June of the fifteenth year of the Qin Dynasty, Li Mu of Zhao State defeated the Qin army on the west line of the Great Wall in the south. As soon as he thought that such a record would be left in the history books of Qin, Li Xin felt cold in his heart.

Defeated, he was defeated without a doubt. Only less than 2,000 remnant soldiers of the 30,000 Qin army escaped Zhao Jun's pursuit, and this was because Zhao Jun did not intend to pursue them. There is only one way to survive.

This disastrous defeat will accompany me throughout my life. Even after my death, this disastrous defeat will be connected with the name Li Xin. But why did Zhao Jun win? Li Xin reviewed the battles of the past few days. No matter how he thought about it, he didn't feel that his choice at that time was wrong. The only mistake I made was probably that I didn't know how powerful Li Mu was, right? After thinking about it, Li Xin felt that even if God gave him another chance to choose, he would still make the same choice.

Zhao Jun's active pursuit was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Qin Army, but... thinking that Li Mu would actually use Zhao Jun's most elite side cavalry as infantry, Li Xin could only be convinced that the plan before the war was just that. It's just a plan. To achieve the predetermined strategic goals, tactics are needed to achieve them. Li Mu's strategic assumptions may not be very clever, but his tactics are too fierce. Li Xin's so-called perfect plan is so fierce that it is vulnerable to a single blow. .

Thirty thousand troops, thirty thousand troops, how should I explain to the king when I go back? Moreover, in Li Xin's heart, the feeling of uneasiness deepened. The Western Front had undoubtedly been defeated. With Li Mu's fierceness, would he stop here? If he turned his target to Yang Duanhe on the middle line again, The consequences would be unimaginable. Once the central line suffered a disastrous defeat, then the Qin State would have a large river between Zhao State and South Korea and Wei, and the territory along both sides of the river would be exposed to the Zhao army's offensive at the same time.

A single move can affect the whole body. Back then, Huanjue suffered a disastrous defeat, which made it impossible for him to make a comeback. Do I still have a chance? Thinking that the Qin Army's South Route Army would collapse because of him, Li Zhixin's despair deepened.

"General Yang is mature and prudent. He should be able to withdraw from the battlefield before Zhao Jun marches eastward and cuts off their retreat, right?" Now that the situation has reached such a point, Li Xin can only hope that Yang Duanhe can defeat Li Mu's speed. Escaped and ascended to heaven.

"What, General Li was defeated? Li Mu has already assembled 90,000 Zhao troops on the western front?" The middle line was facing Yang Duan, who was storming the Great Wall of Zhao State. He listened to the military information brought back by the sentry cavalry. In deep shock, it was A trace of unnoticeable panic.

"Yes, the Zhao army on the western front did not rest, but came directly towards the center line. Their forward troops riding on the side only took one day at most to reach the center line, and the follow-up troops could arrive in two days. ." The sentry knight reported the military information he had.

"Does Li Mu want to eat my mid-line army?" Yang Duanhe thought quickly. He was in crisis at the moment. He didn't waste a moment. He was just watching the chance of life slip away from him, so he had to make a choice as soon as possible.

While Yang Duanhe was thinking, he quickly made up his mind and ordered the soldiers on the left and right: "Send an order to the rear army, leave one part to strengthen the camp on the spot, and the other part to return to the division. It must be before the Zhao army on the western front arrives." , guard our army's retreat, the central army replaces the front army attacking the city, let the front army retreat, and withdraw to the rear army."

Under Yang Duanhe's series of orders, the Qin army took action quickly. For the Qin army, although there is a risk of being cut off by the Zhao army at any time, the Qin army must not withdraw in a panic, otherwise If the Zhao army takes advantage of the opportunity to attack the Great Wall, capture the Qin army, and then slow down the Qin army completely, so that the main force of the Zhao army on the western front can encircle them, the 40,000 Qin army on the middle line will really be unable to escape. .

At this time, on the Great Wall of Zhao Army, Yan Ju, who was the commander of Zhao Army's central line, had also received news of Zhao Army's great victory on the Western Front. This made Yan Ju, who had been under tremendous pressure, feel relieved. A victory on the Western Front , the 90,000-strong Zhao Army on the Western Front can press forward at any time. Zhao Army has already won more than half of this battle.

Sure enough, when Yan Ju breathed a sigh of relief, the Qin Army's fierce offensive declined for the first time. The Qin Army had obviously obtained military information from the Western Front.

"I have a temper after being suppressed and beaten by you for so long. It's my turn to attack this time." Yan Ju muttered to himself, already having an idea in his mind. As long as he could hold back the Qin army to the west, The army on the front line arrived, and with the cooperation of the two armies, it was enough to capture the 40,000 Qin army in the middle line. If the two Qin armies could be annihilated, then this war would be the second largest attack by the Zhao army against the Qin army after Feidi. The second real victory in the battle.

When Zhao Jun took the initiative to attack, he really shook the Qin Army's forward. However, just when Zhao Jun was about to attack the Qin Army's forward with all his strength, he found that the Qin Army's central army actually pressed forward. The attacking Zhao army was pushed back again.

When Yang Duanhe was preparing to escape, he did not want to withdraw his troops as soon as possible, but to strengthen the Qin army on the front line. All of a sudden, the Zhao army was hit with a bloody head, and he was almost pushed back. Yan Ju looked at the war with an ugly face. The situation has shaken the possibility of catching the Qin army.

"There is no need to rush, there is no need to rush, I have the advantage right now. If the Qin army seizes the flaw because of a weak move, the trouble will be big." Yan Ju gave up his plan to directly attack the Qin army while thinking. The Qin army has good combat capabilities, and Yang Duanhe is also a good general who has been on the battlefield for a long time. The Zhao army does have the possibility of capsizing in the gutter.

"Yan Ju, you are still so timid. It would be great if you could be more courageous. Maybe I have a better chance." Yang Duanhe looked at Zhao Jun who only attacked for a while and then retreated, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But I was also relieved.

"If it were you, I'm afraid your choice at this time would be to lure the Zhao army out of the Great Wall, and then take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and break through the Great Wall in one fell swoop before the Zhao army on the western front arrives. Unfortunately, although I can think of such a plan, I can't If you dare to do this, not everyone can be as invincible on the battlefield as you are. All I can do is to be safer and bring the army back." Yang Duanhe looked at the Great Wall of Zhao State with something in his eyes. There is reluctance and determination.

Although the story of a last-ditch battle has not yet appeared, similar principles are still understood by those who specialize in the art of war. However, not everyone can perform extreme operations that risk death and survive.

The so-called risking death and resurrecting is simply jumping repeatedly on the line of life and death. The specific operations are too complicated. A small mistake will directly lead to death, and there is no story of rebirth.

Human imagination is unlimited, but there are very few people who can turn it into reality. Fortunately, Yang Duanhe knew this well, so he chose the safest method, but Li Xin did not know this. At one point, his ability was not enough to support his imagination of horse palace, so the Qin army on the Western Front was defeated miserably.

The caution of Yang Duan and self-awareness gave the Qin army more vitality. As the Qin army retreated step by step, both the front and rear armies finally retreated to a relatively safe area before the Zhao army on the western front arrived. Only the original The Chinese army became the rear army because it was in the rear, and was blocked by the Zhao army. All that was waiting for them was surrender or death.

Li Mu, who rushed to the middle line, looked at the retreating Qin army with a look of disappointment on his face. Although he blocked the Qin army's rear army, he allowed the main force of the Qin army to escape and could not really capture the Qin army in the middle line.

However, it's okay to fight this far. Although the Zhao army on the western front has 90,000 people, the long and fast march coupled with high-intensity combat has stretched the military strength to the limit. The Wan Qin Army was able to annihilate the 40,000 Qin Army in this battle, which was considered a great victory.

As Yang Duanhe led his troops back to Hanoi, Tu Sui on the eastern front returned to Dongjun. The Qin-Zhao War occurred in the fifteenth year of the Qin Dynasty. The Nanxian battlefield ended with the Qin army's defeat.

"Is it Li Mu again?" In the Xianyang Palace, Qin Wangzheng looked at the military reports from the front line. Qin Wangzheng, who was in a good mood because of Yang Ming's series of progress in the northern border of Zhao, suddenly felt the anger he had not seen for a long time.

For Qin Wangzheng, it is not too much to add an unforgettable word to the name Li Mu.

At that time, the King of Qin had just taken office and planned the attack on Zhao with great ambition. At first, it went smoothly, and he annihilated 100,000 Zhao troops in one battle. Just when he thought he could take over Zhao in one fell swoop, Li Mu suddenly appeared and fought in the fertile land. Annihilating 100,000 Qin troops completely awakened Qin Wangzheng from his sweet dream.

A tragic defeat in Feidi not only annihilated 100,000 Qin troops, but also ruined Huan Jue's career as a general, and almost destroyed the confidence of Qin Wangzheng. Now, it was Li Mu who defeated his most promising general again. Forty thousand Qin soldiers died on the battlefield.

"Li Xin, Yang Duanhe, you have let me down." Qin Wangzheng muttered to himself, afraid that he would resist the urge to throw away the general's report, but slowly put it away.

"The southern front was defeated?" Wang Jian, who was still in Fanwu City and leisurely confronting the Qin army under Sima Shang, was also very surprised when he received the news from the southern front.

Didn’t he say that all he had to do on the southern front was confront Zhao Jun? Why was he defeated? Unexpectedly, Wang Jian quickly browsed the military report in his hand. As more information came into his eyes, a complete war appeared before his eyes.

"This Li Xin is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers." Wang Jian, who knew what happened, could only sigh.

"General, what's wrong with General Li?" Wang Ben, who was Wang Jian's deputy general and Wang Jian's son, couldn't help but curiously asked after hearing the sigh from Wang Jian.

Li Xin has made many military exploits under Wang Jian over the years, and has been unparalleled in the limelight. He was once able to overshadow Wang Ben, Wang Jian's own son, but now something seems to have happened.

"You don't have Yang Hujun's ability, but you get Yang Hujun's disease!" Faced with Wang Ben's question, Wang Jian only gave this answer.
