Chapter 3 Famous generals of Zhao State
This group of cavalry stopped about twenty meters away from the plateau, and did not seem to be as hostile as the previous army, so the plateau did not move, but just waited and watched.
At this moment, several men got off their horses and took a few steps forward, and one of them said, "Are you the one who just descended with the meteor?" β
Gao Yuan was stunned, under the firelight, he saw this person wearing armor, medium stature, upright five views, eyes with gods, slight beard under the chin, slightly gray, it seems that he is between fifty and fifty-five years old, although this person's attitude is relatively kind, but Gao Yuan did not dare to relax his vigilance, still stood still, nodded, and said, "I am." β
The man nodded and said, "In the Lower Zhao Kingdom Li Mu, may I ask your honorable name." β
"Li Mu?" Gao Yuan's mind "buzzed" and said, "You are Li Mu?" Zhao Guo's famous general, Wu Anjun Li Mu? β
The man was also a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "Yes, it's down." β
Sure enough, it was that Li Mu, although Gao Yuan did not major in history, but because he liked to study ancient and modern wars at home and abroad, he was no stranger to Li Muke.
Li Mu was a native of Zhao Guobai (now Xingtai Longyao) during the Warring States Period, and a famous general of Zhao during the Warring States Period. Together with Bai Qi, Wang Jian and Lian Po, they are known as the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States". In the "Thousand Character Text", it is said: "Qi Jian is quite pastoral, and the army is the most sophisticated." Xuanwei Desert, well-known Danqing". Li Mu's life and deeds can be roughly divided into two stages, first on the northern border of Zhao State, against the Xiongnu; In the later period, it was mainly to resist the Qin state. He has made outstanding achievements in war, and it is said that he has never tasted defeat in his life.
In the early Warring States period, Zhao relied on Li Mu's support to defeat the Qin army's attacks twice, so King Zhao followed Qin's example and named Li Mu as Wu Anjun. It's a pity that later King Zhao fell for the discord of the Qin State, listened to the rumors, seized Li Mu's military power, and killed Li Mu soon after; As a result, three months after Li Mu's death, the state of Zhao was destroyed. And because Li Mu was victimized by the Qin State's divisive scheme, in later history, Li Mu has always been sympathetic and respected.
At this time, the plateau was basically able to figure out when he was in, that is, at the end of the Warring States Period, but he didn't expect that he had just crossed and met a famous historical general.
Gao Yuan was about to speak, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves like a tide, and mixed with the sound of many footsteps, Gao Yuan turned his head to look, only to see countless figures, appear on the edge of the crater, and as if his side was approaching.
One of the guards beside Li Mu said, "General, the Qin army is here, let's go quickly." β
Li Mu's face changed slightly, and he said to Gao Yuan: "The Qin army is here, this is not the place to talk, please go back to the Zhao army camp with me." β
Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, because Li Mu's attitude was gentle, which also made Gao Yuan have some good feelings about Li Mu, and although Li Mu's tone was peaceful, it naturally brought out an irresistible bearing, so Gao Yuan also nodded and said, "Okay." β
Li Mu immediately got back on his horse, and the guards around him also got on their horses one after another, and at this time, one of the guards brought an ownerless war horse and let the plateau ride.
In the past, Gao Yuan had also ridden a horse, and he rode well, and he could command the horse to make some jumping obstacles and long jumps, so he was not polite, he reinserted the pistol, pressed the saddle with both hands, turned over and jumped on the horse.
But after the plateau sat on horseback, he found that the riding furniture of this era was completely different from the horse furniture he had ridden before, not only did there be no horse pedals, but the saddle was also very simple, only there was a high warp at the front end, and the rear part was almost a flat, only a slight inward arc in the middle, not the kind of saddle with obvious bulges in the front and back, standard double high bridge structure.
At this time, Li Mu and the others had already urged their war horses to gallop towards the pit in the opposite direction of the Qin army. And the Qin army had already killed the pit, approaching to a distance of less than 100 meters, only to hear the sound of "whoosh" breaking the sky, which was obviously an arrow shot by the Qin army. Therefore, the plateau did not think very carefully, and also learned from them, clamping the horse's belly with his legs, shaking the reins, and galloping with them. At this time, of course, Li Mu and the others didn't have to hide their figures, and they also lit torches to illuminate them.
However, Gao Yuan had never ridden such a horse after all, so as soon as the war horse ran, Gao Yuan immediately felt that he could not stabilize his body on horseback, swayed back and forth, and was almost thrown off. So Gao Yuan also instinctively lay on the horse's back, grabbed the horse's neck with both hands, and then stabilized his body, and followed Li Mu and others to rush to the pit.
But in this way, the war horses on the plateau could not run at full speed, and gradually fell to the end, and in the dark, other people did not notice him, so they were also thrown farther and farther away by Li Mu and others, while the Qin army behind them chased closer and closer, and a few arrows flew from the left and right of the plateau.
When looking back, the cavalry of the Qin army was less than fifty meters away from him, and Li Mu and others in front had thrown themselves off a distance of more than 100 meters. But at this time, Gao Yuan did not dare to let go of the horse's neck, so no matter how he clamped the horse's belly and kicked the horse's belly, the war horse just couldn't run fast.
At this moment, suddenly the war horse under the plateau seat screamed, the two front legs were raised high, it turned out that a sharp arrow shot the buttocks of the war horse, and the plateau was not ready for a while, and suddenly could no longer sit on his back steadily, and fell down from behind the horse's hips.
Fortunately, the speed of the war horse was not fast at this time, and the plateau had also undergone strict training, and at the moment of landing, he turned two somersaults on the ground in a row, counteracting the impact inertia of the fall, and was not injured, and immediately got up from the ground.
But at this time, more than a dozen cavalry soldiers of the Qin army were less than twenty meters away from the plateau, and their spears pointed forward and stabbed at the plateau.
Although Takahara is not very old, he has carried out several heavy tasks, and has also developed the ability to quickly judge the shape and find the best response plan in a short period of time. Therefore, at this time, Gao Yuan also knows that he will definitely not be able to escape, and it is impossible for two legs to run over four legs, and the only way is to fight hard and delay time, hoping that Li Mu can find that he has fallen behind and rush back to rescue himself. Judging from Li Mu's attitude towards himself just now, Gao Yuan still has some confidence in Li Mu's heart that Li Mu will come back to rescue him.
So Gao Yuan also immediately pulled out his pistol, aimed at the Qin army in the front row, raised his hand is a shot, the knight immediately fell off the horse, and Gao Yuan did not stop, and shot one after another, the Qin army's horses fell off the horse one after another, and killed and wounded more than a dozen cavalry soldiers in one breath, only to hear the sound of "click", the gun magazine failed to return to its position, Gao Yuan knew that this was a pistol idle hang-up, and another magazine was finished.
However, the round of shooting just now did cause a lot of shock to the Qin army, because no one could see what was going on, only to see Gao Yuan's hand raised, a violent sound, a flash of sparks, and one person on his side fell off his horse. In this era, even black powder was not produced, and the soldiers of the Qin army had never seen such a weapon, so they were all a little frightened, although they also saw that the other party was only Gao Yuan, but no one dared to advance lightly.
Seeing that he had shocked the Qin army, Gao Yuan was also slightly relieved in his heart, and immediately replaced the last magazine.
Just now, I ran out of a magazine in one go, and the purpose was to give Qin Jun a strong shock in a short period of time, so that it could delay a little longer. However, although the Qin army did not rush up, they did not retreat, and Gao Yuan did not dare to escape, because as soon as he ran, the Qin army would understand that he was weak-hearted, and the situation caused just now would be immediately reversed. So the two sides fought against each other. But Gao Yuan also knew that such a situation could not last long, and if Li Mu couldn't rush back to rescue him in time, then he would have no hope.
At this moment, only the sound of footsteps was heard, and a group of infantry of the Qin army rushed over, and a row of archers bent their bows and arrows, pointing at themselves. Gao Yuan smiled bitterly, knowing that at this time, he could only fight one last time.
ββββββββ the dividing lineβββββββββ a series of explosions ββββββββ the dividing line, which also alarmed Li Mu, and he immediately turned around on horseback, looked left and right, and said, "Where was the young man just now?" β
At this time, several guards who had been following Li Mu's side also looked left and right, and said, "I didn't see him, did he fall behind, or did he fall behind?" However, the Qin army did not catch up. β
Li Mu listened, immediately reined in the war horse, the others saw it, and they all stopped the war horse, Li Mu looked in the crowd, and did not find the figure of the plateau, because the clothes of the plateau are obviously different from others, and it is very easy to recognize.
At this time, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing from the rear, and Li Mu's face also changed a little, and said: "He must have fallen behind, surrounded by the Qin army, we must go back to save him immediately." β
One of the guards said: "General, this is too dangerous, now we are still in the Qin army's control area, if we go back to rescue him, we will also be surrounded by the Qin army, now the general is the only pillar of the Zhao State, if the general has a mistake, then our Zhao State is also in danger." According to the general's opinion, we should go back to the camp first, mobilize a large team of soldiers and horses, and then come to rescue him. β
Li Mu shook his head and said, "You don't understand, this person is very important, since he can land from the sky and the earth with the meteor, he will never be an ordinary person, so we must not let him be captured by the Qin army." And now it's too late to go back to the battalion to transfer troops. β
At this moment, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and in front of everyone, a group of cavalry appeared, numbering about two or three hundred horsemen.
The guards around Li Mu were all very nervous, but Li Mu said: "Don't panic, everyone, it's our own people, Zhao Xuan, are you here?" β
At this time, in the opposite army, a horse came out of the crowd and came to Li Mu, and the knight on horseback clasped his fists with both hands and said, "General, it was the last general who brought people to meet the general." β
Li Mu nodded and said, "Zhao Xuan, you came just in time, and now we need your strength." Kill him with me immediately, and I must rescue him. β
