In the dark night.

Because there is no rain all year round, there are no dark clouds in the sky to cover the bright moon. Under the starry sky, the dim surroundings of the plains can be vaguely seen.

In the quiet plains, some insects traveling at night made cicadas chirp and crickets chirped.

But at this moment, dense footsteps suddenly sounded, and dense black shadows kept sneaking on the plains. Apart from the dense footsteps, it was impossible to know what those black shadows were.

But just the next moment.

Suddenly there was a strange movement, and along with the sound of countless arrows flying, groans and screams appeared on the plains.

"ah!"

"ah!!!"

One after another, black shadows fell to the ground, and the other black shadows stopped one after another.

What is frightening is that these black figures did not retreat in the face of the attack, but just stood there.

In less than two breaths, the leading shadow came to the body lying on the ground. After confirming the direction of the arrow, he immediately told the direction of the arrow and even the approximate distance.

Almost instantly.

Countless black figures immediately took out their crossbows and fired in the direction of the arrows in the dark night.

Suddenly, there were faint sounds coming from the distance in front of these black figures, which seemed to be humming and screaming.

At this moment, in front of these shadowy figures, several huge clusters of dead branches were lit one after another, and the huge firelight illuminated the empty plain very brightly.

The shadow man looked at several huge fires in front of him, already illuminating the plains.

"withdraw!"

When saying this, the shadow man was full of helplessness.

The fires burning brighter and brighter on the plains illuminated it, and the leading man in black could be vaguely seen, wearing Zhao Guo armor.

Qin army camp.

Bai Yan held the sword in one hand and looked at the fire in front of him.

Wang Ben slept for half the night, and he slept for the rest of the night.

Early tomorrow morning, the Zhao army would attack. Both he and Wang Ben knew that Li Mu would not let them sleep peacefully tonight. After all, as long as the Qin army did not have a good rest and did not have to fight tomorrow, the Qin army would already be at a disadvantage.

When fighting each other, people will be forced to reach their potential, and a person's mental state can affect the reaction and performance of soldiers.

If it were Li Mu, if he had the numerical advantage, he would send a group of troops to harass the enemy at night. Even if he didn't kill a single person, as long as it interfered with the rest and recuperation of the enemy's entire army, he would have won first.

It's a pity that he and Wang Ben don't have many soldiers under their command, so they can't separate an army at all.

And if he guessed correctly, Li Mu should also be on guard.

"General, look!"

Ye followed Bai Yan and suddenly saw a faint light of fire under the distant mountains in the direction of the well.

Bai Yan was not surprised when he saw the fire.

It’s finally here!

"General, will Li Mu send a large army to kill you? How about I call some more soldiers over?"

Ye looked at Bai Yan worriedly.

Ye had never read any military books and had never commanded a war, but he knew clearly that there were not many soldiers guarding the mountains in the distance.

If Li Mu lets the army come to kill him, he will not be able to defend it.

"Don't worry, Li Mu will not send an army to attack at night."

When Bai Yan heard what Ye said, he shook his head.

Seeing Ye's worried and confused look, and thinking that Ye would be with him from now on, Bai Yan patiently explained to Ye.

"Standing here and looking at the mountains in the distance, you will be worried that Li Mu will send troops. But if you analyze the current situation of Zhao State and Li Mu's past military leadership habits, you will not be afraid of Li Mu sending troops."

Bai Yan held Qin Jian with one hand and looked at the bonfire in front of him.

Accompanied by crack~, the sound of small stones cracking.

"After the Changping Battle, although thirty years have passed, Zhao State has recovered a lot. However, five years ago, when General Huanjue attacked Wu Sui, he killed Zhao General Huju and beheaded 100,000 Zhao troops, severely damaging Zhao State.

.Now in the Zhao Kingdom, except for Handan and Gaotang, the most elite Zhao army is only Li Mu’s Zhao Bianqi.”

When Bai Yan said this, he looked at Ye: "Under such circumstances, Li Mu would never dare to act rashly! So throughout the previous battles against the Xiongnu, against General Huanjue, and other wars, Li Mu would always stick to his position and wait for every battle.

Use the opportunity to find the enemy's loopholes."

To put it simply, what Bai Yan wanted to express was that even Li Mu knew that the Qin army could be defeated a third time, a fourth time, or even a fifth time, but he, Li Mu, could not be defeated even once.

However, Bai Yan would not say this. Even though Ye was his, if word got out, his future would stop here, and he might not even be able to stay as a slave anymore.

Under night.

Bai Yan looked around.

"Right now in this night, the state of our soldiers, our generals, these are too many unstable factors, Li Mu will never take risks and give up the advantage of Zhao Bianqi."

Bai Yan finished speaking.

Ye looked at Bai Yan with a thoughtful expression on his face. In his eyes, the general's words made him somewhat confused.

Looking at the firelight under the mountains in the distance, I thought that the generals had already fought with Zhao Jun under the firelight, and the general's words seemed to have seen the battle situation.

Thinking of this, Ye is still a little scared. What if the general guesses wrong?

Then Li Mu’s army will attack!!

Ye looked at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan looked at Ye's expression and couldn't help but laugh. He knew that Ye didn't understand very well.

In fact, when he didn't enter the military camp, Bai Yan was like Ye. He didn't understand why the general on the battlefield always had to analyze and determine the situation of the battle, as if he was not afraid of making wrong guesses.

But when he faces this situation, Bai Yan will understand.

Take the current situation, if you don't analyze and make judgments, you will be led by Li Mu. The lion still needs all its strength to fight the rabbit. Now that the Qin army is facing Li Mu, it needs to concentrate all its advantages and power, and can no longer divide its troops day and night.

hold fast.

The analysis I gave you just now has been very simple. In fact, if you look into it more carefully, it will also involve King Zhao Wuling, and later Daijun and Handan. The subtle relationship between them seems to be magical.

These grievances seem to have been separated by decades, but in fact they can still affect Li Mu, Zhao Bianqi, and even the State of Zhao.

Everyone thinks that Li Mu, like Wang Jian, is only good at holding on, but this is not the case at all. Li Xin, the young leader of the Qin State, was defeated and retreated in a very short period of time because Li Mu took the initiative to attack.

You must know that Li Xin is by no means an idle person.

Through that battle, it was enough to get a glimpse of Li Mu's powerful offensive ability.

The reason why Li Mu is good at perseverance in the eyes of the world is simply because of Zhao's national conditions, which allow Li Mu to tolerate no sloppiness.

So it's the same here.

Soldiers must be careful and careful when they die. Li Mu will never give up Zhao Bianqi's advantage and take risks in the middle of the night.

Not to mention, Li Mu didn't know if the person sitting in this camp was the steady Wang Jian.

"Don't worry, General Wang Ben has ordered people to build trenches in the plain ahead and fill them with water. Even if they rush over, there will be enough time!"

Bai Yan seemed to see that he was still worried about his career and said with a smile.

The voice fell.

At some point, Wang Ben had already walked to his side step by step.

"You really don't have to worry that Li Mu will take advantage of the night to dispatch an army to attack!"

Wang Ben came to the campfire and said to Ye.

"General!"

When Ye saw Wang Ben, he quickly stood up and bowed his hands in salute.

Wang Ben waved his hand, indicating that you are welcome.

Looking at the faint light of fire under the mountains in the distance, Wang Ben recalled Bai Yan's words in his mind, and his heart was full of agreement.

"General Bai Yan, go and rest first. I will guard you for the rest of the night."

Wang Ben turned his head and said to Bai Yan.

Although they all asserted that Li Mu would not attack, he and Bai Yan still needed one person to guard the camp, on the one hand to be wary of variables, and on the other hand to guard against those Zhao troops who interfered with the army.

"Okay, I'll leave this to General Wang Ben!"

When Bai Yan heard Wang Ben's words, he was not polite. There would be a war at any time tomorrow, so he would not be brave at this time.

In the mountains, tonight we only need to push back the disturbing Zhao troops. He has even ordered his soldiers to avoid fighting with the Zhao troops as much as possible.

The second day.

It was still dark before dawn, and many soldiers of the Qin army were still sleeping when they suddenly smelled the fragrance of cooking fires.
