The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 722 0030, Wizard Li Mu
Zhao Zhenghun carried the Li character banner on his shoulders in the army, and followed the army through Yinshan Mountain.The battlefield was chosen [-] miles north of Yinshan Mountain, because the Zhao army and the Xiongnu army happened to meet here.

The Xiongnu is an alliance of nomadic tribes, and the Huns are best at riding and shooting.If Zhao Guo didn't have King Zhao Wuling, Zhao Guo would dare to confront the Xiongnu army head-on like this.

King Zhao Wuling's good intentions back then were not in vain. Although Zhao Guo has developed rapidly in recent years, Zhao Guo failed to have a second Zhao Wuling King.It can't deter other small countries, and it has to face constant harassment from Qiang Qi and Qiang Qin.It is not easy for Zhao Guo to be able to sustain it, and it is difficult to have a rising day without a clear master.

Arranging troops is naturally Li Mu's strong point, and that veteran on the battlefield is not experienced in many battles.When he arrived at Yinshan Mountain, Li Mu divided the army into three, one circled around the enemy's left flank, and the other circled around the enemy's right flank, while he led the main force to meet the enemy head-on.

The key to this tactic is the timing. After the main force meets the Huns, the two strange armies must be in place.Their position must be biased towards the rear of the Huns' army, and a sneak attack will come from the left and right wings behind the Huns' army.It was like stabbing a knife in the ass of the Xiongnu army.

Zhao Zheng followed Li Mu closely, and the one who carried the banner should not be too far away from the general.In addition to paying attention to the right time, place and people in war, morale is also an indispensable and important component.You can win a battle with one effort, but if you get frustrated halfway, your morale will plummet.

Li Mu strategized and strictly ordered the soldiers not to go to battle without seeing the Hun general, and those who violated the order would engage in military law.The main general of the Xiongnu army this time was Shan Yu, the leader of the tribal alliance.Shan Yuben came from the Shan clan and was elected as the leader of the tribal alliance because of his outstanding leadership.

Shan Yu and Li Mu are old friends, while Zhao Zheng is seeing Shan Yu for the first time.The burly man sitting high on the horseback weighed at least two hundred but he didn't feel fat, he just thought he was really strong.

The real battlefield is not like the one shown in the TV series, first one-on-one and then group battles.No one knows Shan Yu better than Li Mu, this guy has always had a personality of hitting and talking after meeting.

I don't know if the two strange armies are in place, but Li Mu must confront Shan Yu head-on at this time.The armies of both sides merged into one, and the only sounds on the battlefield were the clash of weapons and the roars of soldiers.Some fell to the ground, some bravely killed the enemy, some turned around and outflanked, and some fought three against one.

Both the Xiongnu and the soldiers of the Zhao State were good, and none of them took half a step back after the war broke out.They all tried their best, and soldiers of Zhao State and Huns kept falling in a pool of blood.War is so cruel, either you die or I die.There is no unchanging general trend, only heroes who follow the trend.

Li Mu faced Shan Yu, and the two were equal in combat power, with Li Mu putting the most emphasis on skills.The Li family's swordsmanship is still the same, Shan Yu is extremely powerful, every heavy blow will be dodged by Li Mu skillfully.But every time is very dangerous, if it is really hit by Shan Yu, Li Mu will lose most of his life if he is not dead.

The battle lasted from noon to dusk, the two sides were evenly matched, and the two odd armies had already joined the battle.It's just that they didn't expect that Shan Yu also sent two strange troops to encircle the left and right wings of Zhao's army.If not, it is impossible for the two strange armies to make no progress.

It is impossible to win a fight, and the strength is evenly matched, and no one can even think about eating the water in one go.Moreover, Zhao's army is only 25, which is [-] less than the Xiongnu's army.With such an advantage in numbers, the Huns couldn't even win, so Shanyu needed to think about new tactics.

When it was getting dark, Shan Yu ordered to withdraw his troops, and Li Mu prevented Zhao's soldiers from chasing the Xiongnu army.Shan Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even if he withdraws troops, he will definitely set up an ambush on the way. If Zhao Guo's army dares to pursue him, in all likelihood, he will never return.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will never end in a hundred battles, Li Mu has already known about Shan Yu.He once sent people to visit the Xiongnu secretly and got a lot of information about Shan Yu.If he hadn't known that Shan Yu would not let it go, perhaps he would have chosen to take advantage of the victory and pursue it like the several lieutenants.

The morale that has been accumulated with great difficulty, if it encounters an ambush during the pursuit, the morale will be wiped out in an instant.Li Mu doesn't know how to do business that loses money, and besides, Zhao Guo didn't want to capture the Xiongnu.Their purpose is to teach the Huns a lesson so that they can be more honest.

One day the battle was tied, Shan Yu led the army to retreat to discuss countermeasures, and Li Mu also studied new tactics with the lieutenants in the central army tent.This old boy Shan Yu is a fine individual, if he suffered a loss last time, he will definitely play tricks this time.This is what Li Mu is most worried about, because you will never guess what tricks Shan Yu will make.

According to the suggestion of the lieutenants, since they are afraid that Shan Yu will sneak up on them, why not take the initiative to give Shan Yu a surprise.At this juncture, whoever strikes first will take the initiative.This was not said by the lieutenants, but by Zhao Zheng, who was standing aside and listening.

That was the truth, since Li Mu was worried that Shan Yu would play dirty tricks, why didn't he take the initiative to attack.It doesn't matter whether it's a good idea or a bad idea, as long as you do it first, you will be right.As long as they act first, it doesn't matter what Shan Yu is planning.

Li Mu listened to Zhao Zheng's suggestion, but the eyes of several lieutenants looked at Zhao Zheng a little differently.Usually, when marching and fighting, they would discuss with General Li what tactics to use. Today, there is suddenly such a person in the army's account.If Zhao Zheng didn't take the initiative to speak up, they really didn't pay attention.

When the war started on the second day, Shan Yu and Li Mu wanted to go together again.However, Li Mu's actions were unexpected, and he had already made arrangements the night before.He sent people to attack Shan Yu's camp, and then set fire to the food and grass of the Xiongnu army.

Afterwards, Li Mu learned that the strange army sent by Shan Yu had just left the camp when the food and grass of the Xiongnu were burned.If it was a little later, that strange army would appear in the granary where Zhao Jun stored grain and grass.But even that doesn't matter, because Li Mu had already sent heavy troops to guard the granary after listening to Zhao Zheng's suggestion.

Zhao Jun fought the Xiongnu for three days, and Shan Yu and Li Mu were on the same level, neither of them could defeat the other in a short time.If this situation continues, both parties will suffer in the end.The daily food and grass of several 10 people is a huge expense, and it is of no benefit to anyone if it is consumed like this.

Therefore, Li Mu and Shan Yu discussed and decided on the third day when they withdrew their troops, and seven days later there would be a life-and-death battle.Either one of the main generals was killed, or more than half of one of the casualties occurred, and in one of the two cases, the army had to retreat.

In fact, it goes without saying, who would want to continue fighting if these two situations happen.
