General Qin

The second day after taking down Boyi.

After Zhao Tuo left a garrison soldier to guard here, he led his army on the road to Shanfu.

According to the system commonly used by the Qin army, when marching, it is generally divided into several positions such as Xingjun, heel army, sub-pawn and main army.

But this time, Zhao Tuo had only 5,000 troops under his command, which is not a lot.

In addition, on the road from Boyi to Shanfu, there were no other cities that needed to be captured, so Zhao Tuo only arranged a 100-man team on each side of the army for guarding and defense, and did not allocate too many troops.

At the same time, Zhao Tuo merged the Xing army and the heel army, and unified the 1,000 men from Shejian's department.

One is that Shejian has a calm personality, and it is safer to be a striker. The second reason is that he has served as Zhao Tuo's forward for many times, and he is more experienced than the generals.

In this way, Zhao Tuo's army was divided into three parts.

At the forefront is a thousand people led by Shejian, who are responsible for pathfinding and guarding.

Ten miles away from the Shejian Department is an army of nearly 4,000 people led by Zhao Tuo.

Behind the army, there are hundreds of Qin soldiers and conscripted civilian husbands who are responsible for escorting the transportation of food and fodder.

Among the three armies, there are often cavalry exchanges, and they are responsible for delivering messages.

Under such a marching formation, the Qin army marched continuously for several days. On the ninth day after leaving Sui County, they were less than forty miles away from Shanfu County. They could approach Shanfu City in at most two days.

"Reporting to the two or five hundred lords, our army found the cavalry of the Wei army, about ten more."

Hearing the report from his subordinates, She Jian frowned. As he got closer to Shanfu City, he encountered more and more cavalry from the Wei army on the road, and the frequency became more and more frequent.

These should be the rangers sent by Lord Ningling in Shanfu City to investigate the military situation.

These Wei army cavalry were like loach, not slippery, only watching Shejian's troops from a distance.

Once the cavalry of the Qin Army stepped forward, they turned around and ran without fighting, which was very difficult to catch.

Shejian also had nothing to do with these guys. He sent cavalry to chase these Wei troops. If he sent fewer people, he would not be able to defeat them.

If there are too many cavalry sent, and they are afraid that the opponent is a bait, there will be more people behind, and they will swallow the cavalry they sent in one gulp. And in that way, he would be led by the nose instead.

"Don't care about them, just use sentry cavalry to open the way and keep the marching formation. When you encounter mountains, forests and valleys ahead, you must send people to investigate carefully to prevent ambushes."

"only."

Shejian gave the order, and he decided not to care about those cavalrymen. These people can watch whatever they want. His troops are the pioneers of exploring the road, and there is nothing important.

He only needs to perform his mission well, and check all the places where ambush may be buried along the way to ensure the safety of the rear army and supply troops.

...

In a dense forest more than thirty miles away from Shanfu City.

Wei Jiu looked anxiously, looked at the advisor Hou Shu and the general Zhu Piao, and asked, "So the Qin army's vanguard is so careful that he searched all the dense forests and valleys he passed. Exploring the mountains and forests, our whereabouts will inevitably be revealed, what can we do?"

Hou Shushu looked embarrassed, but he was full of resourcefulness when he was in Shanfu City, and the tricks in his mind kept popping up one after another.

But when he really started to enter the execution level, Hou Shu found that this ambush strategy was really not so easy to use, especially when he met a Qin army pioneer who was so serious about exploring the way.

Damn it, why didn't the people of Qin choose a reckless man as the vanguard!

According to the discussion between him and Wei Jiu and the others, he planned to let the Qin army who explored the road go east first. Then ambushed the Qin army in the rear and directly attacked the commander of the Qin army. If the Qin army could be cut in the middle of the chaotic army, the battle would be considered a victory.

But according to the current situation, this thousand-strong Qin army will definitely explore the mountains, forests and valleys all the way. When it gets here, the whereabouts of the Wei army will definitely be leaked, and it will be impossible to ambush the Qin army by then.

"Since we can't ambush, why don't we go back to the city, defend the city and look for opportunities to defeat the enemy?"

Wei Jiu said with a troubled face, he had been frightened by the Qin army in several battles, seeing that the ambush strategy might fail, he couldn't help becoming anxious.

Zhu Piao shouted: "Young master, don't be afraid, since we can't ambush the Qin army, then let's swallow this thousand-strong Qin army vanguard first!"

Hou Shu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right, if you can't ambush the Qin army, you can ambush this thousand-strong Qin army. Hehe, use our 6,000-strong force to ambush him with a thousand people. Under the surprise attack, the Qin people The army must be defeated, and with six against one, can it be invincible?"

"We can easily swallow the vanguard of the Qin army. In this way, we can carry the power of a great victory and then face the Qin army behind. At that time, it will be 6,000 to 4,000, which will be used to wait for the Wei soldiers who have just won a big victory against the long-distance trek And the Qin army, which has just suffered a big defeat, will definitely win this battle!"

Hearing the plans of his advisers and generals, Wei Jiu's confidence was restored.

Yes, although the situation has changed, it is still beneficial to our own side. Six thousand beats one thousand, and they will definitely be able to eat the vanguard of the Qin army!

"Since that's the case, we will follow the plan of the two of you."

Wei Jiu nodded in agreement.

...

"To the two or five hundred masters, there is a forest in front of you, the forest is dense and the land is wide."

"Well, send someone in to investigate."

Shejian nodded, but didn't think much about it. Along the way, they passed through many dense forests and valleys, and they didn't find any problems.

After receiving the order to investigate, a group of Qin troops entered the forest ahead, and the following Qin troops continued to walk on the road without delay.

"Are those rangers from the Wei Army still there?"

Shejian casually asked the short soldiers beside him.

The short-soldier general hurried forward, and came back in a short while to report: "I report to the two or five hundred masters that no cavalry of the Wei army has been found ahead."

Shejian asked the question casually, but was surprised when he heard the answer.

Because along the way, the cavalry of the Wei army were watching from afar, and they kept checking their own march. Although they were often driven away by their own cavalry, they would stick to them like brown sugar after a while. But now I haven't found any of them, which makes people feel unusual.

At this time, a group of Qin troops in charge of exploring the forest had dispersed into the forests on both sides, and most of the Qin troops also set foot on the road between the forests.

Shejian frowned more and more.

The short soldier general didn't know what his two or five hundred masters were thinking, looked around and shouted: "Hey, there are so many birds in these woods."

This sentence awakened Shejian instantly.

He looked up, and really saw a group of birds flying in the dense forest on both sides, circling without falling.

"As the saying goes in the art of war, if the trees move, they will come;

"No, there are ambushes here!"

Shejian opened his eyes sharply, and shouted at the surrounding soldiers: "Quickly form the formation, raise the shield to defend!"

At the same time, there were bursts of screams in the forest where the Qin army who had just explored the forest entered.

"Wei Jun!"

"There is Wei Jun in the woods!"

In an instant, countless Wei soldiers appeared in the dense forest...
