Chapter 119: Li Mu's dilemma

The mist in the morning has not cleared, and Li Mu's army has begun to gather. The horn kept sounding. The soldiers were still in a "walala" assembly on standby.

The "Woo" horn kept urging the soldiers to gather together. Zhao Jun has started to operate quickly. A few days ago, Wang Zhao sent five ministers to urge. Li Mu wanted to refuse to send troops on the grounds of insufficient food and grass and insufficient preparation. Unexpectedly, Zhao Wang had been prepared long ago, and it only took a day. King Zhao sent one hundred thousand more troops. Li Mu was surprised when he heard about the reinforcements of the army.

A hundred thousand army, isn't it the defensive army that must be shut down in places like Shangdang? Li Mu was very worried. It was Sima Shang who came. Li Mu couldn't help but feel cold behind him. In this battle, the regiments fighting in the north had already shown their combat effectiveness was weak. Part of it is still to be taken away now. I can't imagine it. At this time, the cavalry army of the Qin Army had not withdrawn yet. If Qin Jun changes direction. Suddenly killing people from places such as Dai County. Handan cannot be defended. Thought of this. Li Mu really didn't understand why Zhao Wang made such a decision. Is there no response from Qin State? Li Mu couldn't help shook his head.

"At the end, you will see the general." Sima Shang marched in salute.

"Get up." Li Mu stopped thinking and waved his hand.

"General Sima, let me ask you how did your 100,000 horses come." Li Mu first asked a key question. What is the combat power of this 100,000 army?

"If you go back to the general, this one hundred thousand army. One hundred thousand army." Sima Shang didn't know whether to tell the truth, because Sima Shang knew clearly that the composition of this one hundred thousand army was crippled by Yunzhong Dai County. The garrison is fifty thousand, and the other fifty thousand, I don't know where Zhao Wang put it together. In short, there is no fighting power. And the military discipline is extremely poor. On the way in, the 100,000 army was divided into two teams, the northern one was led by Sima Shang himself. And the one from Handan, because it had to be responsible for the supply of food and grass for the army, would kill the Yan army who dared to attack on the road. In the beginning, this 50,000 Zhao army had not taken the initiative to attack. But after one or two incidents were attacked. The retaliatory Zhao Jun began to ignore military discipline. It was burned and killed along the way. Yesterday, Sima Shang found a woman from Yan Country while visiting the camp. Needless to say, you all understand what's going on. Immediately, Sima Shang slaughtered him for a while, which played a certain role, but it did not completely contain the situation. This is unknown.

"Forget it." Li Mu waved his hand and said.

Li Mu clearly knew the composition of these 100,000 horses. These 100,000 horses simply cannot be counted as an army. All who came were a mob. Although the army in Shangdang and other places was not mobilized. However, the north is really a big problem. If Qin Jun suddenly slammed out, he would not be able to resist it at all.

"General, the king ordered me to take Yandu quickly. I don't know the general..." Sima Shang said. Li Mu waved his hand like a headache to stop talking.

Li Mu couldn't accomplish this at all. Everyone knew about Yandu's situation. This capital city with Hu people to the north is extremely strong. It is difficult to siege the city. Add your own side. When Li Mu pursued the remnants of the Huren, there were only 50,000 horses in total. With the increase in the seizure of the city. There are already more than 30,000 people arriving in Yandu. Those who come in reinforcements can be ignored. Li Mu's idea is to occupy the city. The goal has been achieved by digesting the occupied land of Yan Kingdom. I don't know what Zhao Wang thinks. He even wanted to attack Yandu. This is simply an impossible thing.

"Yanhan. Do you think Li Mu dare to fight Yandu?" Yan Wangxi asked a general next to him.

"Back to the king, the final general thought, dare. This Li Mu is extraordinary. Even the tiger and wolf Qin was defeated by him. This person really doesn't dare to underestimate it." Yan Han said.

\"En. Then, how do you think this Yan should guard?" King Yan asked again.

"At the end, I think that as long as I can't stick to it, Li Mu will inevitably retreat if he loses food and grass." Yan Han said.

"Well, the widow also meant this." King Yan said happily.

"Passing orders. There is no order from a widow. No one can leave the city." King Yan said emphatically.

"Here." Yan Han replied.

Li Mu stood alone on a sand table, staring at the sand table stubbornly. To the north is the cavalry troop of the Qin army who is eyeing the eye. high speed. Tan Malay News. Recently, the Meng Tian army has stopped sweeping the Hu people's tribe and has begun to retreat. Wang Jian's army did not move. Just stationed quietly near the Great Wall of Yan State. There is a dynamic going south at any time. At present, there are one hundred thousand Yan Army guards in Yandu City. It is really impossible to break Yandu. Li Mu thought about various possibilities.

If at this time, the State of Yan and State of Qin had contact, it would be very likely that State of Qin would send troops. Li Mu tapped the location of the northern Qin army with his hand. This is currently the only force with a major threat. If you leave it alone, your own wing is difficult to guarantee. Qin Jun went south. Zhao Jun are all pawns. Not acting fast. It is easy to be rushed by the powerful Qin army. result.

Zhao Jun, who had attacked the city wall, had already begun to take advantage, and Yan Jun had been unable to recover the defeat. At this time, Zhao Jun's flank suddenly appeared a black tide. Li Mu didn't dare to think about it. This situation is the most dangerous.

Attacking Yandu is not a big problem. But how to resist the Qin army in the north. This is the key. Yandu is close to the Great Wall of Yan Kingdom. It was too easy for Qin Jun to go south. How to solve this situation. I can only repair the book for Wang Zhao. Li Mu turned and came to the side of the case. Soothing his mind, he began to write about Zhao Jun's current situation.

At this time, Shangwen is making great efforts to make hydraulic presses. The first material used is wood. Two huge wooden barrels, one large and one small. After injecting the water, start to compress it with a bronze disc. Temporarily use manpower to do it at one end of the small wooden barrel. This is an experimental model. Whether it succeeds or not depends on the result.

Several big guys pressed the wooden pole hard. Under vigorous compression. The hydraulic press started to move. The iron plate at one end of the barrel began to slowly descend. The iron block placed below has been placed. Shang Wen anxiously waited for the result.

time flies. The flat plate has begun to press the iron plate, and the squeezed iron block has begun to deform.

"Strong harder." Shang Wen shouted.

The iron block has been pressed to half its original height. Then came two thirds.

"Strong harder." Shang Wen shouted.

There is no movement from the iron.

"Stop." Shang Wen shouted helplessly.

Shang Wen pulled out the iron plate that had been suppressed. Estimate the thickness, it is almost two centimeters thick. Chen Da, who was watching, looked at the suppressed iron plate in surprise. Shangwen handed it to Chen Da. You have to record the results of the experiment yourself. Very unsatisfactory. Too thick.
