According to the agreement, Xue Libu needed to travel another ten miles to the west, and then turn back to counterattack operations.
The mines produced in Lijiazhuang were heavy and crude, because they were the first stocks to be manufactured.
In order to ensure the destructive effect, it is necessary to fill more gunpowder, and then install the outer layer with thistle terrestris to increase the damage to personnel.
Li Mu did not have many mines planted on this road.
It is only nine hundred, this is the number that Li Mu got after a simple calculation.
The choice of ambush here, the presence of hills on the side of the road is one of the two reasons.
Another reason is that it is empty enough, and the road surface is one and a half feet wide, and three are buried horizontally, and then a row is buried every six steps along the road, so as to ensure that anyone who enters the minefield has to lie down.
The distance of the mine array is as long as four miles, but four miles of land cannot annihilate all the cavalry.
Eight thousand cavalry, if lined up in eight columns, is enough to line up for twenty miles, that is to say, the pursuing cavalry front reached the ambush, but the tail only left the city of Mu Zhi ten miles.
Therefore, the ambush location of the 5,000 people led by Li Mu was not on either side of the roadside of the mine array.
Rather, it was on both sides of the road twenty and forty miles from the city of Muzhi.
There were not many ambushes at a distance of forty miles, only a thousand.
This was to give Xue Libu time to turn around and launch a counterattack.
There were four thousand men at twenty miles.
Li Mu's intention was to cut off the 8,000 cavalry from it, and the first half of the cavalry would be annihilated by Xue Li's department, and he would lead 4,000 people to defeat the second half.
It sounds like a fantasy and an unrealistic idea.
But the truth is just as Li Mu expected.
After the minefield detonated, the deafening explosion and the fires of thistles in all directions, the cavalry in the minefield did not care at all.
And the cavalry that followed by galloping horses and plunged headlong into the smoke by inertia, could not distinguish between southeast and northwest, and did not care.
The cavalry who was lucky enough to hold the reins and did not put it in, before they had time to rejoice, they were directly knocked off their horses by the cavalry who rushed up from behind, and died under the hooves.
After countless horses pulled together, well, finally stabilized.
At this moment, countless black objects that could not be seen clearly poured out from both sides of the road.
The incessant sound of explosions made everyone in the middle of it yearn for their own quick death.
And the cavalry who rushed out of the minefield ten miles in front of them, when they heard the violent explosion behind them, they didn't know what was happening, they all grabbed the reins and turned their heads to look back.
At this time, the thunderbolts thrown from both sides of the road exploded around them, and the chaotic situation was the same.
The swearing and wailing caused by the stampede, the ramming, the generals could not even find the herald, and the futile roars were muffled by the sound of explosions.
At this time, more than 4,000 people from the Xue Li Department quickly turned their heads and thoroughly swept the cavalry that had lost their speed on the battlefield.
The battle lasted only half an hour.
What the Divine Guards did the most was a slashing action with a sword.
As for where it hit the other party, I don't care.
Because the night was so dark, it was impossible to see the enemy by the light of the explosion alone.
You can only greet a black shadow that is taller than a person.
Many of the cavalrymen were not blown up and hacked, but died in a stampede in the chaos.
Half an hour later, Xue Libu cleared the remnants of the enemy and reflexively supported Li Mushi.
Li Muzheng fought with the Baekje army and the Japanese infantry who came from Muzhi City.
Li Mu originally planned to meet with Xue Libu after finishing the cavalry, and then reflexively kill back to Muzhi City to deal with the enemy's infantry.
What Li Mu didn't expect was that the enemy's infantry set off at the same time as the cavalry.
When Li Mu successfully finished dealing with the cavalry, the enemy infantry from the west arrived, and both sides did not have time to give orders, and the battle broke out in such a hurry.
No organization, no orders, no formations, no strategy.
Nearly 30,000 people were in such a narrow area of black bones.
There was a cry of pain from being slashed, a muffled grunt from being stabbed, and more rapid gasps.
At first, the soldiers on both sides still had torches in their hands, but they fought, and as the soldiers suffered casualties, the torches were extinguished one by one.
Later, the battlefield became darker and darker.
At this time, if someone is holding a torch, all the knives will cut at that person.
This forced the soldiers with torches in their hands to quickly throw away their torches.

As a result, the whole battlefield was dark.
It was a real hand-to-hand fight, bloody and brutal.
There is no thunder, because it has been used up against cavalry.
Without mines, it is not used at all.
The two armies are staggered, and the swords are flesh to the flesh.
In the dark night, no one can see anyone, and the only target is the blurred black shadow in front of them.
However, the Shenji Guard soldiers still took advantage of it, as they were equipped with steel armor, while the Baekje and Wa soldiers were equipped with leather armor.
In addition, the Divine Guard soldiers have been eating well for a long time, and the green vegetables and meat have never stopped, so there are very few people who suffer from night blindness.
Darkness is darkness, and you can still see something.
However, most of the Baekje and Japanese soldiers could not see anything in the dark.
Therefore, their knives are not cut from above, but are used to slash horizontally and left and right along the waist.
Many of the enemies died at the hands of their own people.
The Divine Guard Soldier is often the first to slash, if it makes a "dang" sound, it means that it is his own person, and then he continues to cut with another one.
This is because the Divine Guard soldiers are wearing light steel armor.
But if you really slash at the arm, you can only consider yourself unlucky, because the next knife will be severe.
If there is no sound, then the next knife is to do its best.
Sometimes, that's what experience learns.
It is not unreasonable to say that the battlefield is the best training ground for soldiers.
It's a scuffle, a mess of messes.
If Li Mu was asked to choose again, he would definitely not choose this ambush.
Even if you had to choose, you would have to set up an ambush twenty miles farther away.
But there is no regret medicine in the world, no At this time, it is not the equipment, let alone the number of people.
Whoever fights first can't hold on.
But surrender is not an easy task.
In this flesh mill, even if you shout surrender, no one will forgive you, but you will be slashed more by shouting.
Fighting and fighting, the person who reacted quickly learned another trick from the splash of blood.
There is only one effective way to surrender, and that is to get down.
Everyone, no matter which side the soldier is, only slashes at those who are standing, but not at those who are underground.
So, as long as you're lucky and don't get trampled to death, then you can survive.
Slowly, more and more people discovered this life-saving method, threw away the weapons in their hands, held their heads in their hands, and fell to the ground.
When Xue Libu arrived with torches, all the soldiers were shocked by the tragic scene in front of them.
As long as it was a standing person, his whole body was stained red with blood.
And those lying on the ground were soaked in blood
