Chapter 622

It was Qin Mu who agreed to his request to fight.

Because only Qin Mu knew that Wang Yangming's genius in military affairs was something that even Qi Jiguang and Xin Qiji might not be able to catch up to.

Wang Yangming had also been holding back, wanting to prove himself.

Seeing Qin Mu's encouraging gaze, Wang Yangming spoke.

"Deep penetration by an isolated army is a military taboo. Moreover, even if we take Jicheng in one fell swoop and hold it, it is based on the premise that there is stored grain in Jicheng."

"Once there isn't a single grain of food in Jicheng, wouldn't that trap the massive army in a desperate situation?"

These words made Li Er very unhappy.

He had simply criticized his suggestion as worthless!

He retorted sarcastically.

"What kind of skill is talking on paper? Why don't you come up with a better method!"

Wang Yangming didn't care about Li Er's words.

He was just discussing the matter as it stood.

"I advocate first taking down the land of the Three Han as a foundation. Point the blade directly at Jicheng, but hold it without firing. Occupy the advantage first and let Goguryeo fall into chaos on its own."

"This is the method of taking the momentum!"

Qin Mu raised his hand and clapped twice.

"Good! Yangming's insight is truly brilliant!"

Li Er was suddenly silenced.

He had thought about Wang Yangming wanting to occupy the Three Han first, but he hadn't expected Wang Yangming to elevate this kind of action to the height of taking the momentum!

Opposing this suggestion, wouldn't that be saying he didn't recognize the grand momentum?

How infuriating!

He had been educated by a small schoolteacher!

Zheng He said.

"I agree with Minister Wang; first take the land of the Three Han, advance step by step, and we can stand in an invincible position!"

Two to one.

Currently, those in favor of first occupying the Three Han were in the majority.

Just when everyone thought Qin Mu was going to issue combat orders according to Wang Yangming's strategy.

Qin Mu expressed his own view.

"The Great Qin maritime legion has come across the sea for the first time. Goguryeo is completely unprepared; this opportunity for a surprise attack cannot be abandoned just like that!"

Hm?

He still favored a surprise attack!

Li Er became triumphant again.

After all, he was still stronger than the Great Qin schoolteacher; his view could align with Qin Mu's, which was not easy!

Since Qin Mu had said so, a surprise attack must be better than occupying the land!

Unknowingly, Li Er had developed a sense of trust in Qin Mu.

Trust in his ability!

Li Er looked provocatively at Wang Yangming and even tilted his chin.

Just when Li Er was triumphant, Qin Mu spoke again.

"I will lead ten thousand troops myself to take the Goguryeo capital. You all, divide into two routes and conquer the Three Han!"

Domineering!

Too domineering!

Ten thousand people daring to penetrate deep into enemy territory to attack the Goguryeo capital!

Neither side would be delayed!

This kind of fighting style, if placed on someone else, was not a good strategy.

All three routes of troops only had ten thousand people; if any one route failed, it would implicate the entire expedition plan.

But instead, placed on Qin Mu, everyone felt it was very reasonable.

Powerful strength can break everything!

Li Er never expected that this plan would suddenly have a major reversal.

At first, he thought Qin Mu was going to adopt his suggestion.

But thinking about it, if they really gathered the troops into one route for a surprise attack, and coincidentally Jicheng didn't have a single grain of food. Even if they won, it would be a dead end!

His plan had this fatal flaw, destined to be the most failed strategy.

Could ten thousand people really take Jicheng?

Siege warfare was all about filling it with human lives!

What made Li Er even more unexpected was that Qin Mu actually wanted them to follow the army to attack Jicheng!

Not only Li Er and Fang Xuanling, but also several women.

This joke was going too far!

Two days later.

Qin Mu led ten thousand troops to arrive under Jicheng.

Here, Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang, had sent a massive army of three hundred thousand to attack for several months. In the end, they were defeated and returned. Li Er looked at the city walls from afar, feeling a bit tremulous.

Three hundred thousand troops were wiped out!

No matter how well Qin Mu could fight, what could ten thousand troops do?

He didn't know how this battle, which saw no hope at all, was to be fought?

Fang Xuanling was also full of worry.

Both of them were foreign ministers and had no right to interject. They could only entrust their lives to Qin Mu's hands, praying that he could win.

Qin Mu was not in a hurry to attack the city, but let the army rest in place.

The craftsmen in the army began to build trebuchets on the spot under the eyes of the Jicheng defenders.

Qin Mu himself, along with several women, played little games in the tent.

Li Er was burning with anxiety.

He chatted with Fang Xuanling about the current situation.

"Xuanling, even if the army is building trebuchets, couldn't they find a hidden place? Being so blatant, what if the Goguryeo people attack?"

Fang Xuanling was thoughtful.

"Could it be that this is originally a tactic to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Li Er calmed down slightly.

"Mm, that's possible. Qin Mu relies on his own strength and wants to lure the enemy out for a field battle? But who knows how many will come out?"

If ten thousand troops suddenly came out of the city, it would still be hard to fight.

Just as the two were discussing, the city gate really opened.

Inside Jicheng, troops were constantly pouring out.

Not just the city gate in front, but on both sides, two teams of troops had long been set up.

Goguryeo troops came out from three routes, wanting to surround and kill the Qin army on the spot!

Qin Mu finally appeared.

In golden armor, holding a dragon-gall bright silver spear, sitting on a purple horse.

"Heavy cavalry, listen to my order!"

"It's time to tear them apart!"

He charged forward, heading toward the Goguryeo light cavalry on the right.

Three hundred cavalry followed closely behind Qin Mu, like a giant drill, fiercely drilling into the Goguryeo army.

The others formed a circle in place, setting up layers of deer antlers.

Defending with long bows and powerful crossbows.

A rain of arrows caused the Goguryeo army to fall by a full thousand people. The momentum of the charge was immediately thrown into chaos.

Li Er was stunned.

Fighting like this, it seemed they were already standing in an invincible position!

The Great Qin arrow rain was so strong!
