Three hundred and thirtieth chapters lure the enemy deep
"Father." Without outsiders, Li Yu called out the strange and familiar title.
"Yes, I am worthy of being my Li family. Chen'er is okay?" Looking at the son standing in front of him, Li Mu felt quite proud. Wu Ke led hundreds of thousands of troops, Wen Ke managed several counties, and even if he searched all over the world, there were a few people. What made Li Mu most happy was that their Li family finally had a descendant.
"Chen'er is in good condition. When his father returns to Handan, he will call him grandfather." Li Yu was still a little restrained in front of Li Mu, which was a serious emphasis on family affection.
"Well, after this battle, my father and son can indeed return to Handan. Since you have made a decision, I will support you with all my strength." Li Mu said solemnly while patting his son's shoulder. Although he was extremely loyal to Zhao State, he did not bother with his love for his son and his attention to the Li clan.
The moment he learned his son's target, Li Mu was indeed a little shocked. After he came to his senses, he felt sincerely proud. Just as Li Yu said, a soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier, and a minister who did not want to be a minister was not a good minister. The Li clan is also considered a descendant of the royal family, so why can't he be in charge of the court?
"Father." Without saying anything grateful, Li Yu just nodded vigorously.
After summoning all the generals and handing over the Zhuoshan camp to Li Mu, Li Yu and ten thousand cavalry disappeared into the mountains.
Facing the Zhao army blocking Zhuishan, the Hu army showed their brave nature and rushed to the infantry and military formation with fearlessness. Even if the robe was injured, they still stepped on the robe's bodies and continued to attack. The Hu people were not sympathetic to the weak.
It was just because of the limitations of the terrain. The Hu cavalry was unable to exert the powerful power of coming and going like the wind. After paying the price of thousands of people, the Hu offensive paused temporarily.
"King, this kind of attack is not possible. The Zhao army with excellent weapons and armor is extremely unfavorable to our clan with its advantage in territories." The young man sitting on the horse said to Tu Li in front of him, and the cold armor on his body explained his identity.
"Azida, what good countermeasures do you have?" Turning his head to look at the capable general, Tu Li asked with a smile. The temporary defeat did not make him feel any emotion. He is worthy of the King of Donghu who commands hundreds of thousands of string control men.
"The Zhuoshan is only dozens of miles away. Azida is willing to lead his subordinates to bypass Zhuoshan and attack the Zhao army's rear formation." Azida, who had a solution, slapped his chest and responded in a deep voice. The Zhao army only relied on the right territorial ability to block the way of their army. If he could raid the rear formation, the cowardly Zhao army would definitely collapse without fighting.
"Okay. I will ask you to lead 10,000 Erlang to raid the Zhao army's rear formation. When the army breaks through Handan, I will marry Lan Yue'er to you."
"Azida will die for the king." Hearing that Dajuci, who could marry him for a long time, Azida's eyes rose with ambition, and his blade would definitely make Zhao people frightened.
"Report to the general, ten thousand Hu people went west."
"Report to General. Hu people retreated twenty miles."
"Report to General..."
Looking at the collected pieces of information, Li Mu realized that the war could be so easy. With such a powerful intelligence network, the only worry in his heart disappeared. After this battle, the northern border of Zhao State would surely achieve peace for decades.
At this time, there were only a few people who knew Li Mu's identity, so the Hu people on the opposite side naturally would not know. The Zhao army general who confronted them had already changed.
Not to mention that tens of thousands of Zhao army soldiers and the Hu army confronted each other in Zhuoshan, Li Yu took 10,000 cavalry under his command and appeared at the foot of Yanmen County.
"Chen Jin, I will ask you to lead 5,000 cavalry westward into Daihai, and you will be at Tianshen Lake by then."
"promise."
Let Xia Hong go with Chen Jin, Li Yu looked at the not-tall Yanshan and secretly held the reins in his hand. As long as he crossed this mountain, there would be an endless grassland, where he would write an epic that was famous for future generations.
Beyond Yanshan is the territory of the Cangli tribe. As a large tribe among the Hu people, the Cangli tribe has tens of thousands of string control men, second only to the Donghu royal court. This time, the Cangli tribe invaded Zhao territory, the Cangli tribe dispatched 30,000 cavalry, which is regarded as the backbone of the Hu tribe. Daihai is Loufan's territory. Although Loufan was driven out of the Yunzhong Land by King Wuling of Zhao, he still maintained his strong combat power and his strength has always been among the top three in the Hu tribe.
With a thousand tigers in his hand, Li Yu naturally left the hard bone of Cang Qi for himself, and Chen Jin's troops had the cooperation of Xia Hong, the veteran. Nothing would happen. Now that the Hu army invaded Zhao Realm, the rear part would be empty. Li Yu wanted to stab the Hu people hard in the heart and completely destroy the Hu people's foundation.
Even Li Yu wanted to plant the flag of Da Zhao on the Tianshen Lake, which is the 800-mile sea in later generations, to realize the great achievements of the Han Dynasty's cavalry general in advance.
"General, ten thousand Hu cavalrymen are thirty miles away from our army's back."
"Appoint the entire army to retreat."
To lure the enemy into the depths, Li Mu did not want to fill in too many big Zhao men. Anyway, he has tried his best to avoid conflicts between the Zhao army and the Hu people over the past three years. Even with dozens of small-scale battles, the Zhao army was defeated one after another. The Hu people had long thought that their Zhao army was not afraid. Now that they have resisted for six days, it is enough that the Hu people will not be suspicious.
"Zhao Jun retreated, chase me."
"Don't let a Zhao army go."
"Kill."
Seeing the Zhao army retreat, the Hu soldiers shouted fiercely. After several days of fighting, thousands of Hu soldiers were killed. The Hu soldiers were already red in their eyes.
Knowing that Azida's strange army played its role, Tuli did not stop the pursuit of the soldiers under his command. When the leaders of the other tribes saw the Donghu tribe charging forward, they naturally screamed and followed. Picking up bargains has always been their fine tradition.
"General, there are dozens of tents and more than three hundred people in front of him."
"Let Mao Xu's troops go...not leave any one."
The raised hand hesitated for a moment, and Li Yu finally waved it hard.
When marching and fighting, women must not be polite. If they go deep behind enemy lines, they cannot find their traces. If the other Hu people are given the opportunity to gather, then everything they have planned for several years will be vain. What's more, the Hu people's army has never been merciful in entering the country.
Thousands of cavalry were guarding against more than 300 unprepared Hu people. The battle came to an end in a short while. Li Yu, who was riding on the horse, looked at the devastated Hu people's residence. The figures of the elderly, weak, women and children fell to the ground made him feel guilty.
However, when he swept over the extremely enthusiastic eyes of the soldiers under his command, Li Yu's heart was shaking and his eyes became firm. He could never give the Hu people a chance to fight back. For the Hu people who were on the horse, the elderly, weak, women and children were also soldiers. Since this is the case, they could not be ruthless.
Even if he bears boundless sins, what's wrong? As the chief general, he will return to Zhao State safely with his soldiers, and everything else is no longer important. As for the merits and demerits, future generations will comment on it.
After someone cleaned the battlefield, Li Yu took his elite cavalry and continued to go deep into the grassland, and his eyes looked ahead became more and more sharp.
The Zhao army, who had abandoned armor, let the Hu people see the cowardice of Zhao State, and regardless of the loss of the war horses under their crotch, they frantically pursued the Zhao army's footsteps. The food and armor discarded by the Zhao army made the Hu soldiers excited and even encouraged the arrogant arrogance. The Zhao army soldiers who fled ahead became the fat sheep in their eyes.
Occasionally, some tribe leaders thought that the Zhao army's actions were too abnormal, but under most of the fanatical emotions, there was no big wave. Such a Zhao army was not afraid of it. If they were afraid, there would naturally be someone to take the lead.
Before we knew it, the Hu army had penetrated nearly a thousand miles into Zhao. The number of horses in war also lost more than 20%.
"King, there is Jingjing Pass ahead."
"Okay. The warriors of the Hu clan have broken through the barrier in front of them. There is a flat horse, and the beauty treasures of Handan are waiting for you." Looking at the small barrier in front of him, Tu Li laughed and encouraged the morale of the soldiers under his command.
The pursuit for half a month made Tu Li completely let go of the little doubts in his heart. After breaking through Jingjing Pass, Handan City hundreds of miles away was presented naked in front of them. Even if the Yanmen army came behind him, it would be useless. What's more, he used his 30,000 cavalry to restrain Yanmen. Once the Zhao army in Yanmen had any movement, he would know it and there was no need to encourage him at all.
Thinking of sitting on the throne of Handan City to establish his identity as a king, Tu Li's heart surged with great pride, and he would become the first king and the real king in the pastures.
"Kill and kill."
When the Hu soldiers heard the countless beauties and treasures were in front of them, they shouted excitedly. Most of the soldiers looked at the armor and weapons on their leaders, and their eyes showed great enthusiasm. They were real trophy. After breaking through Handan City, each of them would have such armor and weapons, as well as the charming beauty of Zhao State. Thinking of this, the Hu soldiers held the scimitar in their hands, and their fatigue seemed to be wiped out.
"King Shang, the Hu army has passed Zhongshan and approached Jingjing Pass. Once Jingjing Pass is broken, our city of Handan will be in danger. I hope the king will send troops to reinforce."
"The king, the general and his son hold an army of 200,000, but he cannot resist the Hu people's going south. He really blamed the king for his favor. He also asked the king to change his generals and guard them. The general and his son will be summoned to Handan for punishment."
"The king, the general commanded the three counties in the northern border, but allowed Dai County to fall into the hands of the Hu people. Now that the Hu army is approaching Handan, the general is unforgivable for punishment."
"The king, the general and his son are in vain to defeat Wang En, and do not want to defend Zhao State and respect the troops. The crime should be punished."
"The King..."
...
Two hundred thousand Hu people invaded, and the nobles and ministers of Handan City were always paying attention to the war in the northern border. The news that the Hu people crossed Zhongshan and approached Jingjing Pass reached Handan City as soon as possible, which made the nobles and ministers panic.
You should know that Jingjing Pass, as a major northern town in Handan, will be completely exposed under the iron hoof of the Hu people. The two important military cities of Wu'an and Wu's city defend the powerful Qin in the west and the Shandong countries in the southeast. But I never thought that the Hu people would approach Handan so much.
For a moment, the voices of impeaching Li Mu and his son resounded throughout Chaoyang Palace.
"quiet."
A solemn shout sounded, and the noble ministers looked at the standing Pingling Jun and quieted down. However, a moment later, the ministers stood up and impeached Li Mu and his son. It was related to their wealth and life. The noble ministers could not care about the majesty of Pingling Jun. They would never allow the Hu people to besiege Handan.
To the south of Jingjing Pass, there are fertile and fertile fields, and they are the industries of the people in the palace. The barbaric Hu people are not like the Qin army. It can be imagined how severe the Hu people will suffer when they break through Jingjing Pass.
Seeing that the noble ministers ignored his face, Zhao Yu's face turned a little red, but he could not stop all this. Faced with the fierce Hu army, Li Mu and his son's actions really made the ministers feel disappointed, and even Zhao Yu was very anxious. After Zhao State moved its capital, it had never been surrounded by the Hu people. Since King Wuling of Zhao's Hu clothing and cavalry, he has driven the Hu people out of Yunzhong and other places. He has never suffered a crushing defeat today.
If the Hu army really besieged Handan, even if Li Mu and his son finally drove the Hu people out of Zhao territory, they would not be able to make up for the crimes they committed, and even the entire Li clan would be destroyed.
