Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 131 Wang Jian's Relaxed Freehand Brushwork

Li Mu temporarily escaped under Wang Jian's questioning, but the situation reported by the guard immediately made the atmosphere in the whole courtyard tense.

The next moment, Wang Jian ordered the soldiers to assemble to check the situation, and at the same time asked the servants around him to start changing his clothes. Li Mu stood beside him, and Wang Jian also said to Li Mu.

"Ben'er, go and see what's going on first? But remember, don't attack lightly."

Wang Jian said this to Li Mu, and Li Mu also quickly took orders, followed several generals who led the army to go out quickly, and at the same time, the troops of the three captains immediately gathered in the city and began to rush to the edge of the city wall.

The three captains commanded 3 people. With so many people heading towards the city wall, the city suddenly became tense, and the rest of the soldiers also quickly assembled.

Li Mu, the guard captain, also followed him towards the city wall. On the way, he met Ge Da again. At this moment, he was directing the soldiers to carry stones up the city wall. When he saw Li Mu's arrival, he quickly bowed.

"Ge Da, what's the situation here?" Li Mu asked immediately, and he said without hesitation.

"Captain Du, the Chu army suddenly mobilized today. Unlike the past few days when they just sent people out to provoke, today they actually suppressed the territory with a large army, pretending to be attacking the city."

"It seems that Chu Jun'an couldn't bear it and wanted to do something."

Ge Da said anxiously, he also cupped his hands at the moment, and then continued to direct the soldiers next to him to start carrying things.

Hearing his words, Li Mu walked towards the top of the city wall, and it was already a busy scene here.

Suddenly there was a buzzing sound of bows and arrows, and the next moment Li Mu saw many arrows rushing out, and the sound of swishing flashed by.

This is the soldiers of Qin State firing arrows outside.

Seeing such a situation, Li Mu thought that the opponent had already launched an attack, so he quickly stepped forward and glanced out from the battlement, but saw that the Chu army was standing in formation and raising their shields hundreds of meters away from the city wall. , but did not attack.

Most of the arrows shot by the Qin army fell in front of the formation, causing little damage to the Chu army. Behind the Chu army were also mighty soldiers, all dressed in brown clothes, looking quite powerful.

When the next wave of arrows was shot, an officer on the top of the city shouted to stop. It seemed that what he said just now meant to block the enemy's advance and deter the enemy, so Li Mu followed the voice and walked over.

An officer in short armor saw Li Mu, and immediately turned around and cupped his hands.

"Captain, you are here."

The bearded officer cupped his hands and said to Li Mu, Li Mu also nodded, and then pretended to be mysterious and said: "The general asked me to take a look at the situation here, how is the situation outside the city now?"

It was also the first time for Li Mu to be such a big general, and he had to speak to others in such a tone, which made him a little guilty.

But Li Mu still did a good job. After all, this is the identity given to him by the system. Since he has it, then don't pass it on.

"Back to the captain, the Chu army sent people to provoke the city earlier. After we followed the general's order and ignored it, the Chu army suddenly became agitated, and then the troops moved forward. Something was wrong."

"I just used arrows to intimidate them again, and now the Chu army has stopped moving forward. I will wait for the captain and the general to come and check."

The law of Qin was majestic, and when the officer spoke, he also explained the cause and effect verbatim, so that Li Mu also had a general understanding, and immediately nodded and asked again.

"Then this is the first time in many days?"

"Yes General."

"Are any troops attacking rashly?"

"Never, I will follow the general's orders. General Li Xin has suffered from the Chu army in the past, so we are naturally cautious."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard this sentence. He really didn't know about this. It turned out that the Qin army had suffered losses in front of the Chu people?

Li Mu wanted to ask a few more questions about this question, but a voice came from behind him, and Wang Jian had already stepped up the city wall.

The surrounding soldiers bowed their hands one after another, and Li Mu also consciously stood aside, listening to Wang Jian asking the officer about the situation again.

After speaking, Wang Jian took a look at the top of the city again. At this time, the Chu army under the city just started to move again, and the banners were surging in the distant formation.

The officers at the top of the city immediately began to shout and get busy, and Li Mu also held his weapon to watch the situation outside, and the top of the city was suddenly bustling.

But Wang Jian was stroking his gray beard and looking at the situation outside the city at this time, but after a while his expression became clear, and he still seemed to be in the presence of an old god.

Naturally, Li Mu quickly noticed Wang Jian's expression. Just when he was a little confused and wanted to ask, Wang Jian spoke.

"Pass my order, except for the scouts and the city guards to step up their defenses, everyone else can retreat."

As soon as Wang Jian said this, Li Mu and the surrounding generals froze in place, and someone asked him immediately.

"General, why is this? The Chu army is clearly going to attack us. Why don't we make more preparations?"

Others agreed one after another, and Li Mu also looked at Wang Jian.

Wang Jian looked at the crowd indifferently, then said with a cold snort.

"I still know Xiang Yan's temper. Last time Li Xin suffered a loss here, I felt that we were eager to take revenge and just wanted to repeat the old tricks."

"Repeat the old trick? General, but if that's the case, shouldn't they retreat and wait for us to leave the city to attack? Is this today?"

"Today is just a show. Their central army has never moved forward, and the wings and forwards are just running alternately, bluffing. That's all, the guards should pay more attention, and the rest don't need to be too panic. Go and appease your soldiers first."

Wang Jian waved his hand and said, he didn't argue with the generals at the moment, and just walked away, Li Mu was also a little surprised.

But Wang Jian walked a few steps, but suddenly yelled Bi Er, Li Mu also looked over at the moment, bowed his hands with all the generals, and hurriedly followed.

Walking beside Wang Jian, Li Mu's heart was also full of doubts, but at this time Wang Jian spoke first.

"Ben'er, what do you think of what I said?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and the feeling of being on pins and needles surged up again, and he just hurriedly asked.

"I don't know what father thinks?"

Wang Jian smiled, and then watched the busy soldiers walking down slowly.

"Maybe the Chu army's combat power is still lingering in your minds, but today is a coincidence. What you said before, Bi'er, made me see through Xiang Yan's thoughts."

Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then tried to ask: "Shocking?"

Wang Jian nodded in satisfaction, and Li Mu was speechless.

It's just that I randomly picked someone who can be fooled and said it. Is Wang Jian serious now?
Li Mu hurriedly explained: "Father, that's not what I meant. It might just be a possibility, not necessarily."

Li Mu hurriedly explained, but Wang Jian raised his hand to stop it.

"Bier, don't think there is anything wrong. You are familiar with military books, and what you see is naturally good. But I am not like Zhao Kuo who can only talk about military affairs in books. I can see this clearly."

When Wang Jian said this, Li Mu was even more confused at the moment.

Since it wasn't his own words that misled the other party, then what did he really see?But why did he let everyone return to normal alert?

Li Mu was puzzled, but Wang Jian asked Li Mu at this moment.

"Ben'er, what can lieutenant soldiers do for fun these days?"

When Wang Jian asked this suddenly, Li Mu paused, but immediately followed his words. Fortunately, he had already asked Ge Da before.

"The sergeants throw stones and jump long every day, and they are quite leisurely."

When Wang Jian heard this, he nodded to himself, and when he was about to walk to the previous courtyard, Wang Jian suddenly said to Li Mu.

"That's a good fight, Ben'er, let the army start to assemble tomorrow."
