The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

Meng Wu wanted to continue challenging them, but the Zhao army, like turtles hiding in their shells, refused to leave the city.

Li Mu didn't allow any verbal sparring, which left everyone in Zhao Jun feeling resentful.

As dawn broke, Li Mu sent out a signal.

Scouts lurking around the army's supplies have already thrown out many torches, scattered across the four directions.

Huan Yi was discussing countermeasures with his deputy generals when he received news that the supplies had been attacked. He immediately ordered Wang Jian to reorganize the soldiers and prevent them from panicking, and to gather the remaining supplies.

Yesterday, Meng Wu led a troop of soldiers to challenge the city, but Huan Yi did not pursue them. Now that he is the commander-in-chief, it is a serious taboo for his deputy to disobey orders.

However, it was impossible to give up if they really wanted to. Huan Yi had already sent 2 soldiers to hide in the surrounding area, but they found that the Zhao army had hidden troops in the area as well.

This is a discussion of countermeasures, that is, a discussion of appropriate tactics.

Hearing that the grain supplies had been burned, Li Mu must have already come up with a foolproof plan. Now it's just a matter of who has the better strategy.

Zhao Jun Border - Wucheng

Meng Wu remained on high alert. He had intended to retreat, but found his retreat route blocked. He had already sent scouts back to the camp, but he didn't know if they would be able to get back.

Although he remained on guard, the soldiers had not rested all night. It wasn't that they didn't want to; whenever they tried to set up camp at night, Zhao's army would raise torches and challenge them to battle.

After this happened several times, Meng Wu realized that this was Li Mu's strategy of wearing down the army.

But they could only passively endure it, and fortunately Meng Wu was alert.

An arrow streaked through the sky, shattering the temporary tranquility between the two armies.

Meng Wu immediately reorganized his troops and boosted morale.

"The mighty Qin, shall we reclaim our lost lands! We will fight until our blood runs dry, until death do us part!"

"The mighty Qin, shall we reclaim our lost lands! We will fight until our blood runs dry, until death do us part!"

"The mighty Qin, shall we reclaim our lost lands! We will fight until our blood runs dry, until death do us part!"

The soldiers became increasingly clear-headed, feeling both fear of the battlefield and, even more so, a strong desire for military merit.

Zhao Jun didn't have many arrows, but almost every arrow he shot hit a person.

Meng Wu used his long spear to block three or four arrows that were shot at him.

Soon, the arrows were tinged with fire, and some were even dipped in gold syrup, and the Qin army began to suffer casualties.

Meng Wudang made a decisive decision to prepare for a retreat and rejoin the main army.

But Li Mu did not give them that chance. After retreating one mile, Zhao's army appeared.

Yesterday, Deputy General Zhao Jun led 5 soldiers to surround Meng Wu.

Meng Wu was not afraid. He changed his formation to meet the enemy and managed to hold off an attack of 50,000 men with only 20,000 soldiers.

But soon things took a turn for the worse. Zhao Jun threw out a large number of torches and threw them on the ground. It turned out that Zhao Jun had already laid flammable materials in advance.

The Qin army was unable to complete their formation, and their formation had changed from one side to one point, with four or five men huddled together to block the Zhao army's invasion.

However, as the number of Qin soldiers killed increased, they could not even muster enough men for the simplest formation. They could only surround Meng Wu and have one man lead the charge to break through the encirclement.

By creating an opening, and as Meng Wu's soldiers dwindled in number, the Qin troops who had been positioned nearby attacked and arrived just in time to rescue the remaining Qin soldiers.

"General Meng, quickly return to the army with me."

Meng Wu was filled with remorse, but there was nothing he could do. It was his arrogance that had harmed his brother.

When Zhao Jun's deputy general saw Meng Wu being rescued, his face turned ashen. He wanted to give chase, but was stopped by a soldier beside him: "Deputy General, General Li Mu said that if there are pursuers behind us, we should not pursue them."

The lieutenant glared fiercely at the spot where Meng Wu had left, and prepared to return to the city.

Handan, Zhao State

The news of Li Mu's victory over Meng Wude was immediately relayed to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan clapped his hands: "Not bad, not bad. This Li Mu is quite capable. He actually managed to kill 5 Qin soldiers. When he returns, I will reward him handsomely."

Guo Kai, standing to the side, looked at the numbers that had been "polished" and was quite satisfied. Holding Zhao Yan, he said, "The Qin army doesn't look very good. Compared to our Zhao army, they are still a bit weak. You see, His Majesty's decision to attack was far-sighted, and the Qin army has been retreating step by step."

"Why don't we have Li Mu send troops directly to deal with the remaining Qin army in one go? That way, Your Majesty can rest assured."

Zhao Yan gave Guo Kai a look that said, "I have high hopes for you." He continued, "I do have this plan. Ying Zheng is too impatient. He thinks that my Zhao Kingdom is something he can easily invade. What a joke."

Guo Kai naturally accepted the reply. After staying in the palace for an hour, he returned to his residence and was invited by members of the Zhao clan to go out for a walk.

Guo Kai was naturally delighted; after all, who wouldn't be happy to get food and gifts after playing?

Zhao State Wucheng

Li Mu was unaware that his account of killing over 10,000 Qin soldiers and losing over 100 Zhao soldiers had been distorted by Handan into a report of killing 50,000 Qin soldiers and losing no Zhao soldiers.

At this time, Li Mu received Zhao Yan's order to defeat the Qin army within 7 days.

Li Mu was helpless, but he already had a strategy, so raising troops earlier was acceptable.

They could only regroup their troops and begin the attack.

First, by defeating Meng Wu, they boosted their own morale, making the Zhao army no longer afraid of the Qin people. In addition, they saved a lot of resources in the early stage, which was enough to support this battle.

Meng Wu was once again the vanguard this time. Upon returning to the camp, Meng Wu was reprimanded by Huan Yi, but was not punished on the spot and the punishment was postponed until the end of the battle.

The task assigned to Meng Wude today is that he can only lose, not win.

After a spectacular performance, the Zhao army was no longer afraid of the Qin army, and frequent reports of victories brought considerable stability to the Zhao court.

Two days later, Meng Wu was once again defeated by Zhao's army with overwhelming force and forced to flee back to his camp.

The morale of the Zhao army was at an all-time high, and Zhao Yan began to look down on the Qin army, thinking that the Qin army was fierce and ruthless, but the Zhao army was no less capable, so he began to eat, drink and have fun with peace of mind.

Li Mu's expression grew increasingly grim. While the series of victories was a good thing, a thorough investigation revealed that they had not killed many Qin soldiers. On the contrary, their own side had consumed a lot of supplies, and the grain and fodder supplies from Handan had not yet been allocated.

Despite having won many battles, Li Mu ordered the Zhao army to stay away from the city to meet the enemy. The generals were unhappy, but they still obeyed Li Mu's command.

However, Zhao Yan, who had no sense of proportion, believed that Li Mu was delaying the battle and, in order to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop, directly cut off the front-line supplies and forced Li Mu to send troops.

Guo Kai timely recommended Zhao Cong, a member of the Zhao clan, without saying that he would directly replace Li Mu, but only that he would supervise the army.

Zhao Yan directly appointed Zhao Cong as military supervisor and sent him to the front line. He also issued an imperial edict that if Li Mu dared to disobey, he should be escorted back to Handan.

Zhao Cong got his wish and that very night he rushed to Wucheng with the imperial decree and token.

Yao Jia received the message a day later. After verifying it, he still hurriedly passed the message on to the Bad Guys and urged them to send the information to the front line as soon as possible.

Huan Yi received the news and had already made his plans. He calculated the day Zhao Cong would arrive and began to challenge the enemy outside the city.

As expected, Zhao Cong, who arrived "just in time," directly repelled them and even obtained a lot of supplies that the Qin army had fled in disarray.

Zhao Cong felt reassured, believing he indeed possessed the talent of a commander. Upon arriving at the Zhao army camp, he bluntly questioned Li Mu about why they weren't attacking, as the Qin army was growing weaker with each battle, and some of their equipment was being replaced with wooden sticks.

The Zhao army was strong and well-equipped, and the remaining food supplies were enough to sustain the army for five days, which was sufficient to completely defeat the remaining Qin army.
