"General, general, bad news, bad news, the Qin, Qin army is attacking!”
In the General's Mansion of Yanmen County, a soldier suddenly rushed in and reported to a man in the mansion.
This man was the general in charge of guarding Yanmen Prefecture, Li Mu.
At this moment, Li Mu's reputation was still not that great.
He was only responsible for guarding Yanmen Prefecture all year round, mainly guarding against the Xiongnu in the north.
The Xiongnu tribes lived in the northern part of the country of Zhao. These Xiongnu tribes invaded the northern border of the country of Zhao all year round and wantonly burned, killed, and looted within the country of Zhao, causing the people at the northern border of the country of Zhao to be unable to endure.
Therefore, Zhao sent Li Mu to guard Yanmen County all year round.
Although Li Mu's reputation was not yet prominent, because of the effective resistance against the Xiongnu, he was somewhat famous in Zhao.
"What is it? How did the Qin army come here?”Li Mu's expression changed slightly after hearing the soldier's words.
Yanmen Prefecture was the northernmost region of Zhao. Since the Qin army could appear here, they would have to pass through the hinterland of Zhao.
"Could it be that the hinterland of the State of Zhao has fallen?”Li Mu's heart trembled and he could not help but guess.
"How many people does the Qin army have?" Li Mu hurriedly asked.
"I don't know the exact number, but from the size of the Qin army, there are at least a hundred thousand.”The soldier thought for a moment and said.
"This, this much?" Li Mu was shocked when he heard that.
"Who is the commander of the Qin army?" Li Mu asked.
"It seems to be the Great General of the Qin Country, Baiqi.”
"Great General of the Qin Country, Bai Qi?" When Li Mu heard Bai Qi's name, his entire body trembled.
Baiqi's name had already spread throughout the Six Nations, so how could he not have heard of him?
"Men, quickly summon all the generals in the army to the residence for a meeting.”Li Mu continued to shout.
"Is there anything else?" Seeing that the soldier who came to report was still standing there and did not retreat, Li Mu could not help asking.
" This subordinate heard, heard the news, say, say…" The soldier said hesitantly.
"What news? Speak!" Li Mu frowned and thought to himself, could there be anything worse than the news of Baiqi leading more than 100,000 Qin soldiers to attack Yanmen County?
"It is said that Handan City has already been breached by the Qin army and Great General Lianpo has surrendered.”
"Moreover, I heard that Wei Wujin, Lord Xinling of Wei, and Huang Xie, Lord Chunshen of Chu, each brought 100,000 Wei and Chu troops to rescue Handan City, but they were all wiped out by Baiqi. Even Lord Xinling, Lord Chunshen, and Lord Pingyuan, Zhao Sheng, died.”
The soldier looked at Li Mu carefully and said.
"What?" After Li Mu heard this, his whole body could not help but sway, and he almost fell to the ground.
It had only been a short while, but Handan City had already fallen. The Great General of Zhao, Lianpo, had surrendered. Even the 100,000 reinforcements of Wei and Chu had been wiped out. They had already reached Yanmen County.
"If the governor of Yanmen County doesn't stay, the State of Zhao will be finished!”Li Mu could not help but sigh in his heart.
There were only 10,000 Zhao soldiers in the entire Yanmen Prefecture. During the Battle of Changping, Zhao had already transferred all the soldiers they could. These 10,000 Zhao soldiers were only left behind to resist the Xiongnu in the north.
10,000 Zhao soldiers against 100,000 Qin soldiers, and they were led by the famous Great General Baiqi.
Li Mu had no confidence at all.
"General, why did you summon us so urgently? Could it be that the Xiongnu are attacking again?"
Not long after, the generals of the Zhao Army rushed over and asked Li Mu curiously.
"Not the Xiongnu, but the Qin army." Li Mu shook his head and said with a sad face.
"Qin, Qin army?"
"Has the Qin army attacked?"
After the Zhao generals heard this, they immediately turned pale with fright.
"En, the Great General of the Qin Country, Baiqi, has brought over a hundred thousand soldiers to Yanmen Prefecture.”
Li Mu nodded.
"What?" When the Zhao general heard the name Baiqi and heard that there were more than 100,000 Qin soldiers, he was shocked.
"Qin, how did the Qin army come here?”Immediately, a general did not react for a moment and could not help but ask.
"Handan City has already been breached by the Qin army. Even the 100,000 Wei and 100,000 Chu troops that came to support our country have been wiped out by the Qin army.”
"Other than Yanmen County, the rest of Zhao should have been conquered by the Qin army.”
Li Mu told him everything he knew.
"What?" After the Zhao generals heard this, they were indescribably shocked.
They didn't expect the Qin army to be so ferocious. Even the 100,000 Wei and Chu troops were wiped out by the Qin army. Then, their Yanmen Prefecture only had 10,000 Zhao troops. How could they withstand the Qin army's attack?
Instantly, everyone's expressions became solemn, and their hearts were filled with worry.
"General, what should we do?”Suddenly, a general looked at Li Mu and asked.
The others also looked at Li Mu.
"We can only temporarily compress our forces, give up some unimportant positions, and then focus on defense.”
"Only the logistics and rations of the Qin army can't keep up.”
Li Mu sighed. This was the only way. Otherwise, his 10,000 soldiers would not be able to defeat Bai Qi's 100,000 soldiers.
However, it would depend on whether they could withstand the attacks of the Qin army. If they couldn't, everything would be empty talk.
Then, Li Mu began to redeploy the defense, preparing to defend Yanmen County to the death.
……
"Great General, this is the map of Yanmen Prefecture. We have also found out the military strength and the generals of Yanmen Prefecture.”
"There are about 10,000 Zhao soldiers stationed in Yanmen Prefecture. The general leading them is called Li Mu.”
In Baiqi's tent, a scout reported to him.
"Li Mu?" When Bai Qi heard this name, he was slightly stunned.
Baiqi was naturally very familiar with the Four Great Generals of the Warring States Period.
However, Li Mu's reputation was not yet prominent.
Li Mu had only appeared after Bai Qi died.
He didn't expect to meet Li Mu in Yanmen Prefecture. It was really a surprise.
He was looking forward to meeting Li Mu.
……
Early the next morning, more than 100,000 Qin soldiers gathered outside Yanmen Prefecture, preparing to attack.
