By this time, Wang Jian had already clearly understood the fact that Yuanli City could no longer be defended!
Without the city wall, what can the defenders in Yuanli City use to resist Zhao Jun?
Wei Liao, who was standing beside Wang Jian, also saw this scene clearly, with a look of horror on his face, he finally couldn't help but said: "General, there must be a way!"
We must know that the reason why the Qin army was able to firmly lock the advance route of the Zhao army before this was because of the mutual support of the two strongholds of the Qin army's camp and Yuanli city.
Now once Yuanli City is lost, the mutual horns of the Qin army's defense lines will be broken, and the next battle situation will become even more unfavorable for the Qin army.
Wang Jian took a deep breath, and said to Wei Liao in a deep voice: "General Wei Liao, lead an elite force to support Yuanli City as soon as possible, and you must buy as much time as possible to get as many friendly troops as possible." Retreat to the camp!"
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Wei Liao didn't talk nonsense immediately, and left quickly after taking the military order.
After Wei Liao left, Wang Jian issued many orders one after another, all aimed at how to help and evacuate the Qin army from Yuanli City.
Right in front of Wang Jian's eyes, the Zhao army leader holding countless torches had already started pouring into the city wall through the gap that had just been blown up.
Fierce street battles were in progress, and Wang Jian knew that the defenders of Qin State in Yuanli City must not be Zhao Jun's opponent, and the captured Yuanli City had completely lost its defensive value.
For the current plan, we can only find a way to save the lives of more soldiers of the Qin army first, and then consider other things.
Wang Jian took a deep breath, and suddenly grabbed a general of the Qin army in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "I will open the gate of the camp in a quarter of an hour, and you immediately go to gather a team of [-] people, and go out to attack after the camp opens." Let’s go to Zhao Jun outside the camp! Remember, if you encounter fierce resistance, you must not retreat, and someone will notify me immediately, and I will send someone to meet you, understand?”
Li Mu stood on the high platform, watching the battlefield in front of him, his face was so calm that no expression could be seen.
On the other hand, Zhao Kuo, who was standing aside, was full of admiration on his face at this moment.
A scout hurriedly came to report: "Governor, the vanguard army has all entered Yuanli City and is fighting the Qin army in the city. The Qin army seems to have signs of abandoning the city!"
"Abandon the city?" Li Mu's face moved slightly, and then he said slowly: "Immediately send an order to the forward army to use all the methods available to stop the retreat of the Qin army! Also, the follow-up troops will also Speed up and don't let the Qin people escape!"
In front of Li Mu, each Zhao Jun phalanx holding torches was advancing non-stop, approaching the battlefield in front of them.
Zhao Kuo knew the meaning of Li Mu's order very well. Although Yuanli City and the Qin Army's camp were horns, they were still several miles away from each other. The 5 horses in Licheng were eaten in one bite.
It's just that Zhao Kuo thought for a while, and couldn't help but say out loud: "The governor, it seems that there is little hope to wipe out the defenders in Yuanli City. It's better to let the armored cavalry charge, maybe they can be the first Separate a battlefield in one step."
In any case, the Qin army's camp is closer to Yuanli City after all, and the Qin army's response speed will obviously become faster.
And out of the need to confuse Wang Jian, Li Mu sent armored cavalry in front of Wang Jian from the beginning, just to make Wang Jian think that the Qin Army's camp was the main target of Zhao Army's attack this time.
Judging from the current effect, Li Mu's strategy is undoubtedly perfectly achieved.
Li Mu smiled, glanced at Zhao Kuo, and said, "The armored cavalry should be in transition right now."
Taking down Yuanli City and eating up the [-] Qin troops in Yuanli City is Li Mu's ultimate goal in today's battle.
All the previous coordination, tactics and smoke bombs were all used as a cover for this goal.
One must know that for tonight's matter, Li Mu has calculated and prepared for nearly two months.
After putting in so much energy, how could Li Mu let go of this opportunity?
But at this time, a scout on a fast horse suddenly came to Li Mu, and told Li Mu a piece of information that surprised him.
"Governor, a unit of the Qin army's camp suddenly attacked, and the armored cavalry has been entangled!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Mu's expression changed immediately, and he asked directly, "What's the current trend of the armored cavalry?"
The scout replied: "The armored cavalry is already retreating under the cover of friendly troops and is reorganizing its formation! But the Qin people seem to have made up their minds to trap the armored cavalry and keep attacking the armored cavalry in the direction of the armored cavalry!"
Li Mu's expression changed, and it took a long time before he said: "In this case, let the armored cavalry retreat. Also, immediately send 3 people to meet the armored cavalry, as long as the Qin army is defeated Just go back."
Zhao Kuo was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "Governor, think twice!"
Zhao Kuo knew exactly what Li Mu's order meant.
Li Mu's order meant that Zhao Jun had basically given up his plan to wipe out the Qin Army in Yuanli City.
It's a pity that such a big piece of meat has to be given up when it's on the verge of mouth.
Li Mu smiled and waved at the scouts, who were ordered to leave immediately.
After doing all this, Li Mu turned his head and looked at Zhao Kuo quietly.
Zhao Kuo was startled, and lowered his head: "Zhao Kuo talked about military aircrafts, please forgive me!"
You must know that Zhao Kuo should have opposed Li Mu's opinion in person just now. In this military camp where the commander is equal to the sky, contradicting the commander is not something that can be easily passed.
As long as Li Mu is willing, he can even use the sentence just now to punish Zhao Kuo's death penalty.
Li Mu was silent and did not speak, Zhao Kuo's heartbeat was extremely violent, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and many thoughts came to his mind.
Could it be that the governor really wants to punish himself for this reason today?After all, I have always been at odds with Yi Qusheng, and Yi Qusheng is the confidant of the governor.
Just as Zhao Kuo was up and down, Li Mu's voice sounded again: "General Zhao Kuo, what you said just now was also for the sake of the army's victory, I won't take it to heart."
Upon hearing this sentence, Zhao Kuo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, Li Mu has no intention of punishing Zhao Kuo, which is definitely good news for Zhao Kuo.
When Zhao Kuo raised his head again, Li Mu had already continued to speak: "I heard that you and Wang Jian have fought against each other many times, let me tell you what you think of him."
Zhao Kuo thought, this is really the case.It seems that Wang Jian and I are really a pair of enemies. They have always met in various wars, but they can't kill each other.
Speaking of it, Zhao Kuo was also a little upset. Now Wang Jian has become the coach of the Qin State, but he himself
Zhao Kuo quickly collected his thoughts, and replied: "Back to the governor, from my point of view, this Wang Jian is actually a very difficult guy."
"That's right." Li Mu smiled and said, "I have also studied Wang Jian's battle examples and found that his command style is extremely tenacious. He can persevere in the face of any opponent. Get back up after failure."
"Such a person may be just a loser in the eyes of others, but he can always learn from his failures and make himself stronger. Sometimes I think, if this Wang Jian could be born in Zhao The country, perhaps today's achievements should be comparable to mine."
Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu in surprise, apparently he did not expect that Wang Jian, who was just lucky in his heart, could get such a high evaluation from Li Mu.
Another fast horse arrived: "Governor, the Qin army frantically dragged down the armored cavalry, and our army before the camp fell into a hard fight!"
Li Mu froze for a moment, then said, "Have the reinforcements arrived yet?"
"Just arrived and is going into battle!"
Li Mu nodded and said, "It's okay, let's keep fighting like this, the Qin army will retreat soon."
Sure enough, after another half an hour, another report came in front of Li Mu: "Governor, all the troops of the Qin Army have retreated to the camp, may I ask if you want to pursue?"
"No need." Li Mu shook his head, glanced at the sky that was still as dark as ink, but in the east, where slight changes had begun to occur, and said, "Let's stop here for today's battle."
After giving the order to end the battle, Li Mu turned his head to look at Zhao Kuo, and said meaningfully: "To deal with an opponent like Wang Jian, it is very unrealistic to completely defeat him at once. But Wang Jian's The weakness is that his strength and equipment are really poor, so I can use small victories to slowly eat away at his troops, until his strength can no longer be my enemy, then when he loses It’s just a natural thing.”
