Chapter 233 How to retreat from the previous victory?
The battle came amidst the common roar of both sides. The veterans of the Han army were still rushing forward, but the difference at this moment was that behind them was an army formation composed of many recruits. They formed a denser formation and also started to run. Steady forward with the team in front.
Although they didn't have the battle-tested murderous aura, when they ran neatly, the feeling of aura like a rainbow kept bursting out.
Li Mu rode his horse forward. Right in front of the team, the Zhao army's formation in front had already exchanged with the Han army. The arrows from both sides began to cause damage. The sound of whooshing came into contact with the armor's human body. Muffled groans and screams were heard. Life had begun. Time passes on this battlefield.
The battle had already appeared in front of him in an instant.
Li Mu swept away a weak arrow with his sword, and as far as he could see, a large number of Zhao troops also came in front of them. Almost without Li Mu's order, the soldiers tilted their swords and began to deal with the enemy.
The two torrents of yellow and black suddenly collided, causing waves to bloom one after another, and human life seemed like a waste at this moment.
"Keep the queue! Keep the queue! Push back, push 'em out!"
Li Mu drove the horses to knock down several Zhao troops, and then rushed to one side from the gap in the army formation, loudly urging the soldiers who were in a hurry to fight.
Li Mu has experienced many face-to-face shocks. If there is any difference this time, it is that all the soldiers in his hands are recruits without any combat experience.
Countless ancient battles made Li Mu understand how important a tight formation is in battle.
It's just that the situation on every battlefield is ever-changing, and nothing can be completely predicted. What Li Mu has to do is to maintain the stability of the formation, and then wait for Han Xin's order.
This is destined to be a bitter battle. Han Xin has to rely on simple troops to hold back the strong troops and leave enough space and time for the troops who raided from the side.
To besiege him with troops several times his own, and to live to death, these soldiers have to make a complete transformation in a short period of time.
Li Mu hooked a long dagger to the chest of a Zhao Bing, and after throwing it out, he looked at the army formation he was commanding again. Seeing them defending against several times the enemy with their weak formation, Li Mu suddenly felt a sense of anxiety welling up in his heart.
The battle at this moment can no longer be described as tragic. Let a group of new soldiers face off against veterans. Even with the blessing of their own military formation, they are still facing the situation of being slaughtered.
It is impossible for these soldiers not to be aware of the situation on their side, and the idea of failure may have sprouted in their hearts.
But if they want to turn defeat into victory, they must have a firm belief in victory. Can such belief really be given by the river behind?
Li Mu turned his head to look back at the river in the distance, and then looked forward to Han Xin who was fighting hard. At this moment, Li Mu had no choice but to think.
Li Mu suddenly realized that even though he was proficient in martial arts and understood tactics, he still didn't understand people's hearts.
I can only passively lead others in the environment, but how can I create a new belief for them so that they can be full of courage in the face of adversity?
Li Mu felt that he understood the meaning of the third-level battlefield.
"General be careful!"
An exclamation pulled Li Mu back. It was almost a conditioned reflex. A long sword came from one side of Li Mu's body. The sharp blade scratched on his scales, leaving a white mark.
"噗嗤~" Li Mu swung the long sword in his hand, and a knife flower cut a hole in the opponent's throat, and then galloped forward.
Forget it, since you can't think of it, let's quietly watch what the outcome of this battle will be.
Let's see what answer Han Xin will give himself!
Li Mu's eyes gradually became firmer, and he kept waving the long sword in his hand. When the horse passed by, it left a trail of blood.
But at this moment, a dust wave suddenly appeared on the flanks, and the sound of the dust wave rumbled straight towards it.
Li Mu caught a glimpse of the black flag in the dust waves, his pupils shrank, he reined in his horse and looked back, shouting to the soldiers behind him.
"Right Wing! Array!"
Li Mu shouted loudly, urging the Han troops trapped in the battle around him to turn around and prepare to deal with the front of the large group of black flag soldiers.
Those were the cavalry of the Zhao army. They bypassed the front and surrounded the entire Han army from the side. The rumbling power had begun to overwhelm the shouts of the Han army.
Li Mu's formation made many recruits notice the situation here, and a group of officers waved their swords to make the recruits turn their weapons.
Li Mu also frantically urged the horses to march in the army formation, but the recruits turned in a daze, and the frontal attack and impact on the army formation was completely unstable, and Li Mu's heart was completely agitated.
"Speed up, sword and shield step forward, ready to resist the impact!"
Li Mu waved the braid in his hand and shouted loudly. The Changge team finally turned around, but the cavalry who was charging in front of them suddenly pulled away and began to attack from the front instead.
"Steady!" Li Mu shouted loudly, but he was relieved at the moment.
The rapid turn of the army array made these cavalry daunting, Li Mu turned his head suddenly, and his heart was even more agitated.
Those cavalry suddenly turned around because the veteran army led by Han Xin suddenly rose up, directly tearing a big hole in Zhao Jun.
Li Mu's heart was filled with excitement. Han Xin was indeed like a military god, and the soldiers were like ferocious beasts in the world. They dared to kill him so fiercely!
On the other hand, the Zhao army at this moment had a numerical advantage, but its morale was much lower than before. The impact of the cavalry caused losses to the Han army's formation, but their own morale gradually weakened.
Even though the drums were beating thunderously on the pass, Li Mu could already feel the decline.
This battle is to be won!
Li Mu unconsciously clenched the long sword in his hand, looked around and shouted for the soldiers to hold on.
But at this moment, cheers suddenly sounded in front of him, and the cheers rippled like ripples. Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw the black flag of the Zhao army surging, and at the same time the flag of the Han army But he was leaning towards himself.
That is the Han army is retreating!
How could Li Mu, who had been in charge of the Han army flag, not know what the direction of the flag represented at this moment.
But why retreat?
This moment is obviously the best opportunity, it is obviously the best opportunity to take advantage of the victory and pursue it!
But before Li Mu could figure out the situation, the surrounding recruits of the Han army also looked at all this with panic, until Li Mu suddenly heard a recruit next to him asking his companions tremblingly.
"Is this...is this what the general said about pretending to retreat to attract the enemy?"
One sentence made Li Mu's heart suddenly bright again, and seeing the army formation in front of him retreating rapidly, Li Mu had no way to understand the situation in time, so he could only tell the recruits that this was a fake retreat, or else How long will it take to counterattack again.
The recruits began to retreat hesitantly, but gradually, as the shouts of the Zhao soldiers became louder and louder, the steps taken by these Han army recruits also became larger and larger.
Li Mu told them to retreat back restrainedly, while looking around for Han Xin's position.
Li Mu really couldn't figure it out. Victory was already leaning towards the Han army. I believe that it won't be long before these Zhao troops who have left the pass will be beaten to pieces by the Han army.
The victory visible to the naked eye is right in front of them, but they are going to defect and leave at this moment. This is definitely not the result that every soldier wants. What happened to Han Xin to make such a reckless decision that may even completely collapse the entire army? !
Li Mu walked through the chaotic troops, but the troops of the Han army were gradually pulled apart. The hasty retreat made the entire team stretched, and the tight military formation had gradually disintegrated.
Zhao Jun's cheers traveled through Li Mu's mind, and several Han soldiers around him even took off their shoes, and ran towards the back in a rolling and crawling manner.
Li Mu's ruthlessness rushed up immediately, pinching the horse under his crotch, Li Mu saw a black figure in front of Wanjun, and the horse neighed, driving Li Mu's figure to rush out.
The shadow is like an arrow, Li Mu needs an answer.
