The sunset is like blood, and the setting sun shines through the ridges of different heights on the battlefield, reflecting pale faces blood red, and the real blood stain turns black. Combined with the wide open eyes, it makes people shudder.

In the vast fields, there are corpses in a slanted upward hillside, with tens of thousands of them; some are garrisoned soldiers wearing cloth armor, and some are well-equipped Wei soldiers wearing heavy armor and well-equipped Wei soldiers. These brave elites who were once regarded as battlefield killing machines have been dead for a long time, but the people who cleaned the battlefield did not strip them of the well-made iron armor and swords. These are all first-class good things. If the Wei people were not alive, they would snatch them back and would never let them fall into the hands of the enemy.

After taking the boiled horse meat from the leader, Mu Zichi ate it hard. After chewing it twice, he felt a burst of blood rushing; the horse meat lacking salt and oil made him want to vomit, but he still held his breath and swallowed the horse meat with the blood that was going upside his throat, and then roared to the sky, as if the howling of a beast when it was dying.

"Please..."

The deputy general beside him looked at the two trembling arrows on his shoulder armor with tears in his eyes. They were left in the daytime battle, but Mu Zichi refused to pull them out, because the arrow was about to dissipate as soon as the blood was pulled out, and he could no longer use his arms. The deputy general waved his hand and ordered the military doctor to cut off the exposed arrow body, lowered his voice and said, "The military soldiers lost 4,000 people, and the casualties of the troops stationed were even greater. The general was Bai Dong's main army attacking from behind. Even if it was replaced by General Pang Juan, the same result would be true. You must not blame yourself..."

"Tell me how many people are left?"

Mu Zichi looked downward. The sunset had already set. A flash of armor was faintly seen under the faint moonlight. However, even the most elite martial soldiers did not have the strength to arrange the invincible formations that satisfy him. These elite soldiers full of the pride of the Wei army were leaning together in groups of three or five, and they had to rely on the power of their comrades to barely stand firm. Not to mention those soldiers who were already crazy, some were simply deserters... There were deserters under his Mu Zichi's tent?

"Less than 30,000..."

The deputy general's voice was like a mosquito humming, his head was pressing down very low, as if he wanted to get into his crotch.

"Two big defeats, more than half of the soldiers were lost! Why is this? Can anyone tell me why this is! How did this battle lose? I don't understand!"

Mu Zichi is not afraid of defeat. He has been a general for ten years. He has not been defeated, either because the enemy is several times stronger than himself, because the terrain is not good, or even because the command of the top command is not appropriate... But this time he really doesn't understand. Looking back on this battle, he and Pang Cong attacked Gongzi Shaoguan from north to south, but Pang Cong's army disappeared, but the youngest official seemed to have a magic weapon falling from the sky, and he ate three thousand of his men in one bite! The Wei and Qin armies were fighting him for the first time, but he was extremely angry.

There were only 20,000 young officials. How could he swallow this? He immediately commanded the army to surround him and vowed to destroy the Qin army. But soon he discovered the problem. He only prepared a "bird cage", but the Qin army was a wolve and could not encircle them at all. Instead, the other party found a gap and jumped out of the siege and bit him a few times. Although it was not painful or itchy every time, it only cost hundreds of people, but these times combined to lose two thousand people. What kind of weird battle is this?

Mu Zichi is not stupid, and is very smart. He soon discovered the terrible 'mobile warfare' of the Qin army like Pang Cong; however, even though he discovered, he had no good idea when facing the Young Master Shaoguan army equipped with tens of thousands of war horses. He would only be eaten by people in one bite of dispersed troops, and he could not catch up with the army. Young Master Shaoguan and Qin Guan truly achieved the goal of "the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stations and we disturb us, the enemy is tired, and we fight, the enemy retreats and we chase." Mobile warfare is a protracted battle, which is comparable to the patience and speed of both sides. It would be strange if the Qin army was well prepared to lose.

Mu Zichi was trying hard to contact Pang Cong. He couldn't understand why the Pang general who was determined to establish his first achievements disappeared out of thin air? It was better if the people and horses were gone, but why did even the pigeons that contacted military information not fly over for many days? But he didn't know that Bai Dong had released more falcons recently, and each one was starved for three days. It was strange that Pang Cong's pigeon could fly over.

Although it was not possible to contact Pang Cong and Wang Zishen, Mu Zichi remained calm enough. While camping behind the mountain without being disturbed by the young master and young official, he also sent well-trained spies to dress up as hunters to search in the mountains. It was impossible for the Qin army to have only these 20,000 cavalry, and there must be a large army hiding. It was discovered that the Qin army was the first task he had to complete, and it would also determine his next plan.

Bai Dong's army could not be found. As early as when the young master and Shaoguan took him around in circles, the army had already moved out of the mountainous areas. It was really not difficult to hide a large army in the pre-Qin era without advanced reconnaissance methods. Moreover, Bai Dong's intelligence is always two or three steps faster than the Wei army? Not to mention the location of the seven armies of Wei, even the specific time and food and drink of Wang Zishen last night was clear. This is not necessary for Fan Qiang's love affairs fee.

The strength alone is enough for Bai Dong to make accurate analysis and judgment by the information "intentionally or unintentionally" in the commercial banks of various countries. The status of merchants in the pre-Qin era was extremely high, and the two countries had no obstacles to trade routes. There were often wars between Wei and Chu. The merchants of Chu sold "arms" to Wei, and then used the money they earned to buy food to fund their own country. Bai Dong is now a vaguely bull from major trading companies in the world, and it was nothing if he had to get some information.

After searching all the southern mountainous areas, he did not see Bai Dong's soldiers and soldiers. Mu Zichi felt very confident. As long as there were no enemies behind him, he could let go of his hands and feet to deal with the young master. Moreover, the uncle of Qin was also trying to die. He was running well, but suddenly he changed his mind and entered the mountainous area. If he crossed the Lianmian Mountains north of Yancheng, he could enter the Chu realm at any time!

Is the Qin army going to escape? Thinking that he was not able to search Bai Dong's army, Mu Zichi thought he had discovered the truth. This Qin Baizi attacked Wei in order to save Zhao, but unfortunately he underestimated Wei too much. He must have seen the Wei army's strong power, so he led his army to retreat south. The army of Prince Shaoguan was just a means he used to delay the pursuit of the army, otherwise why could he not find the Qin army? Why should Prince Shaoguan's army be equipped with more war horses?

Others escaped. Young Master and Young Officials could never escape! When he thought of the 5,000 people he had ruined in the hands of the other party, Mu Zichi couldn't help but pursue him. Chasing him! Young Master and Young Officials beat him so embarrassedly. It was just a quick catch of himself by marching. If the two armies were really confronted, how could the Qin army, who could only escape, be the opponent of Wei Wuzu? Moreover, this uncle of Qin made a mistake and forgot to enter the mountains and forests, and the advantage of the cavalry would be gone.

There is no military proverb in this era of "Don't chase the enemy, don't come to the forest". But Mu Zichi has considered the dangers he may encounter. The mountains and forests in Yancheng have been searched several times, and there is no Qin army lurking. What's more terrible about him? But I forgot that young masters and young officials can keep moving, so how can Bai Dong's army not move? In these days, the Qin army is hidden in the mountains and knows the terrain well. Shortly after Mu Zichi's army entered the mountains, Bai Dong's army followed and opened a large encirclement net behind him.

The great Americans in later generations relied on not only advanced equipment, but also the key to winning. Now that Qin is fighting Wei, it is like a discerning person dealing with a blind man. It would be strange if Mu Zichi doesn't suffer a great loss.

After Mu Zichi understood the principle of not entering the forest, everything was too late. It turned out that the cavalry was even more terrifying in the mountains and forests. Their horse hooves hit the rocks. They would make a sound of metal and iron clashing. They skillfully controlled the war horses to pass through the forests, and it turned out to be more hidden and suddenly... Wei Wuzu's invincible phalanx could not be unfolded in this environment. In fact, even if it was unfolded, it would have no effect. Just the Wei army's poor cavalry could not protect the two wings of the phalanx. Once they were surrounded by the enemy, Wei Wuzu would be like a wheat waiting to be harvested.

That day became a nightmare that Mu Zichi would never be able to escape. He couldn't understand why the Qin army's war horses were not afraid of the wooden thorns and sharp stones on the mountain, why the three-layer iron armor of Wei Wuzhu could not block the Qin army's crossbow, and even more could not understand where the Qin army suddenly emerged from behind...

Such a war can no longer be fought, and it has completely turned into a unilateral massacre. If Mu Zichi had not been for his usual love for soldiers and the Qin army was fighting to the death, he would not have even been able to break out of the terrifying forest and come to this mountain ridge that was adjacent to the plain.

Looking at the Qin army camps and black flags under the hillside, Mu Zichi suddenly felt sad. Failure was not terrible, what was terrible was that he still didn't know why he failed; Bai Zi of Qin... Could this be a person more terrifying than Pang Juan?

"General, the enemy is powerful. Our army was defeated a few days ago, and all the food and grass were lost. The remaining arrows in the entire army were less than 100,000. For the sake of the present, we can only risk our lives to break through!"

The deputy general had been patient for a long time, but finally couldn't help but make suggestions. At present, the Wei army had become an exhausted army. If they broke through, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses. But if they were attacked by the Qin army, they would really be destroyed.

"Breakthrough? Do the soldiers still have the strength?"

Mu Zichi smiled bitterly: "The army of seven routes, 400,000 people! Shigang, can you tell me where our army is? Wang Zishen? I'm afraid he is drinking wine, eating meat, and waiting for the letter of victory in Changping City? Unfortunately, Mu Zichi is going to disappoint him..."

"General, our army is only 30,000 at present, and the Qin army is afraid that there will be 100,000 people. The weakness is my! If I don't fight, I will not be able to do it... The last general has ordered half of the war horses to kill, so that the soldiers can rest and have a lot of food and rest, and they will fight to the death to break through the siege."

"Well, this is the only way to do it now. If the army breaks through, you and I will take the lead, and you may be able to fight a path of blood!"

Mu Zi sighed, "This Bai Zi is terrible, which makes the opponent unable to choose. The Wei army lacks supplies and is surrounded by several times of the enemy. If you do not break through, you will only starve to death and trapped to death. But if you break through, it will hit the Qin people's thoughts. The Qin people's crossbows are too terrible. Even the heavy armor of Wei Wuzhang can't resist, and ordinary troops will become human targets. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
