Chapter 1017 Kuangliang is a famous general, am I not Li Mu?(1/2)
Although explosives are very good, the problem is that explosives cannot be blown up by throwing them directly on the city wall.
In this era, if you want to play the role of explosives, the easiest way is to directly place the explosive bag on the city gate and then blast it.
But there is actually a problem with such a market, that is, the Qi defenders in Changguo City are not fools, so how could they watch Zhao's army push the explosives truck over?
Therefore, the safest way is to dig an authentic tunnel.
Han Fei said with some confusion: "Kuang Liang is also a famous general. Could he not even be careful of digging tunnels?"
Li Mu smiled when he heard this: "Kuang Liang is a famous general, isn't I a famous general?"
The words are full of confidence.
Han Fei laughed silently, shook his head, and stopped talking.
Li Mu smiled and said, "The ultimatum for Kuang Liang has been sent. Let's talk about some kind of demeanor and give them a surprise after he responds to our ultimatum."
While speaking, Li Mu inadvertently glanced at the people around him who were wearing black robes and emitting a breath of no one to be close to.
These people are nominally "alphabetists", but in fact they are from the Mohist scholars in the academy.
Over the past years, these Mohist scholars have been focusing on researching technology under the leadership of the abdomen, which has led to the emergence of magical weapons such as explosives and muskets.
"After confirming that the explosives are useful, kill people to silence them?"
When Li Mu thought of King Zhao's will, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously.
For Li Mu, any of these scholars was more expensive than the life of King Zhao! At this moment, a carriage drove out of Changguo City and slowly approached the Zhao army's position.
Two flags were cast on the carriage. On the left is the purple Qi flag with the character "Qi", and on the right is the white flag symbolizing the messenger.
Li Mu knew that this should be the messenger sent by Changguocheng to reply to him, so he said, "Let him come here."
A moment later, a gentle and gentle messenger saluted Li Mu: "I have met the general in the lower Mengbin."
Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "I wonder what kind of answer was the Grand Sima Kuang Liang for my proposal?"
Meng Bin said: "We Grand Sima said that he was very grateful to General Li Mu for his idea of taking into account the lives of the people in the city under such circumstances. However, the war between the two countries is not a joke after all. Grand Sima Kuangliang could not surrender like this, otherwise he would not be able to explain to our Qi king."
Li Mu said: "So, the war will continue?
I told you that if you want to continue, it will not be of any benefit to your Qi Kingdom.”
Meng Bin said calmly: "Please also ask the general to learn that our Qi State is not a small country like Wei Hanyan. Although Qi State is indeed inferior to Zhao State in recent years, it is impossible for him to surrender without a fight."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Then you go back."
Tell Kuang Liang that within today, I will enter Changguo City and let him know how wrong the decision he made was."
Meng Bin was stunned at first when he heard this, and then came to his senses. Li Mu was saying that he would break through Changguo City in one day!… “This General Li Mu is really confident.”
After hearing this reply from Meng Bin, even Kuang Liang, who was originally a little nervous, couldn't help laughing.
Meng Bin said to Kuang Liang with a serious expression: "Sima, I always feel that General Li Mu is not telling a lie."
Kuang Liang was stunned for a moment, then said, "What do you mean is that he is actually very sure?"
Meng Bin nodded.
Kuang Liang fell into deep thought.
Meng Bin is a confidant think tank figure that Kuang Liang relied the most. Meng Bin has indeed given a lot of useful suggestions in many wars in the past. For example, Meng Bin's suggestions in the battle to defeat Lian Po outside Jidu are very important.
Kuang Liang thought for a while and said slowly: "Then this way. After the Zhao people launched an attack later, my personal guards will not go to the city to defend and stay in the city for an unexpected situation."
In Kuang Liang's opinion, even if Li Mu had any ideas, at best, he would be able to cooperate with the inside and outside.
If this is the case, then as long as Kuang Liang keeps his most elite personal guard in the city, he will naturally be able to perfectly deal with Li Mu's offensive.
After listening to Kuang Liang's words, Meng Bin also praised: "The Lord is indeed wise."
Kuang Liang smiled slightly and said, "Li Mu may not have thought that his unintentional leak of words would lead to his failure in siege in this war!"
At this moment, a thunderous drum sound came from a distance.
The siege of the Zhao army began.
There are rules for beating drums. Generally speaking, the attack will not start until the third round of drum is completed.
From the first round to the end of the third round, it takes about fifteen minutes. In these fifteen minutes, the vanguard army will complete the change from the assembly formation to the charge formation. Each commander will accept his own task and finally launch an attack as much as possible when more people know their tactical intentions.
In war, things like this are never compared to personal force, but which army on both sides is more like a whole, and which one of the commanders on both sides is better.
Li Mu said: "If we look at the problem from the old era's thinking, then it will be difficult for me to defeat this battle of Kuangliang.
Or, even if I want to conquer this city, it is impossible to succeed without a year or two.
But unfortunately, it has entered a new era now.
In the war in the new era, the general with old-fashioned thinking like Kuang Liang has nowhere to live."
When Han Fei listened to Li Mu's words, he couldn't help but reminded him with some amusement: "You haven't attacked yet, conquered this city, what about the city."
Li Mu laughed and said to Han Fei: "No, I have conquered this city."
After the three-way drum, the sound of killing sounds sounded immediately.
Countless Zhao soldiers rushed forward and rushed towards the tall Changguo City wall in front of them.
For these Zhao soldiers, this time they received a very special and incomprehensible order.
"If you see the walls of Changguo City collapse soon, you don't have any doubts. That's our general's plan, just rush inside."
After hearing this order, the soldiers' first impression was doubt.
It is of course easy to understand that it keeps rushing in, but why did the walls of Changguo City suddenly collapse?
Is there a miracle?
Fortunately, since Zhao Kuo led his troops, he has been promoting the saying that "soldiers take obeying orders as their duty" in the Zhao army. Therefore, over the years, the elite soldiers of Zhao have long developed the attitude of obeying orders and killing hard, and did not cause any major uproar.
Seeing that the vanguard army in the front was less than two miles away from the city wall, Han Fei couldn't help looking at Li Mu.
Li Mu smiled slightly and said to Han Fei: "Don't look at me, look at the city wall! Next is the moment to witness the miracle!"
After Li Mu finished speaking, Han Fei immediately turned his head to the other side of the city wall.
Next, Han Fei saw an unforgettable scene.
"Boom!"
A shocking crosstalk suddenly sounded, and countless fire lights suddenly surged from the ground. The city wall on the ground seemed to be tilted from underneath by a fire dragon, and was easily overturned in an instant.
The earth was trembling, and countless huge rocks fell on the city wall, making a shocking sound.
The rolling smoke and dust rushed into the sky directly. It was a cloudless day, but it instantly turned into a cloudy day that covered the sky! Even the four-pierce chariots and horses under Li Mu and Han Fei were involuntarily fighting after seeing this scene, and there was a sign of wanting to retreat.
All of this made Han Fei dizzy! Li Mu stood beside Han Fei and laughed loudly.
“Did you see it?
This is the future!”
This time, Li Mu buried all the explosives in the ground of Changguo City in one breath, for this result! At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be in a pause, and even the vanguards of Zhao State who were charging could not help but stop and stared at Changguo City not far away.
Finally, the smoke and dust began to slowly dissipate.
The walls of Changguo City were exposed again.
Just a few minutes ago, this section of the city wall was still intact and looked indestructible.
But now, this place has completely turned into a ruin.
In the ruins, there are still some remaining soldiers of Qi who are climbing and escaping, screaming in shock, trying to escape from this hell that suddenly appeared! Li Mu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Why are you still standing there?
Keep beating the drum!"
The drum sounded.
The loud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud th
It was not until this time that the soldiers of the vanguard army of Zhao State finally came to their senses and knew the meaning of the inexplicable command before.
Although I don’t know what’s going on, it’s obvious that the sudden collapse of the city wall of Changguo City was because of General Li Mu’s work! After knowing this, the soldiers of the Zhao Pioneer Army immediately boosted their morale.
Even such a solid city wall can't stop us. What else can stop us in the world?
The next moment, the Zhao vanguards cheered and quickly launched an attack on Changguo City not far away! In contrast to the cheers of Zhao vanguards, the Qi defenders in Changguo City seemed to have suffered a bolt from the blue! As the commander-in-chief of the entire Changguo City, Kuang Liang certainly could not have made such a move to the front line.
However, in order to prevent the Zhao army from storming, the Qi army from reacting slowly, Kuang Liang deliberately placed his command center very close to the city wall.
This led to the aftermath when the explosives detonated, the command center where Kuang Liang was located was also affected by the aftermath.
Kuang Liang, who was still discussing affairs with several aides at the time, was overturned to the ground by this unpredictable impact. Most of the tables in the room were overturned, and dust fell from the top of his head, and there was a mess everywhere.
After finally waiting for Kuang Liang to stand up, he heard the sound like the sky collapsed and the earth cracked outside, and a very bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
It was this feeling that made Kuang Liang stand up as fast as possible and rushed out of the room.
Then, Kuang Liang was flooded with smoke and dust.
A few minutes later, the guards found Kuang Liang, who was covered in dust and was lying on the ground and coughing constantly.
But Kuang Liang was completely indifferent to his embarrassment at this time. He stared at the walls of Changguo City not far away in front of him, and he was stunned.
To be continued...
