After eating four bowls of porridge and a dozen steamed buns, Yingbu wiped his mouth and walked back with satisfaction.
"General Cao, can you understand the picture I drew?"
Yingbu didn't know a few words, but he thought he was good at drawing.
Especially after following Ying Feiyu, the Flying Eagle Team will be specially trained to draw simple maps in case of emergency!
Cao Shen is also a member of the Flying Eagle Team, so he can naturally understand it, "Yeah! The drawing is very clear!"
"Then... what is General Cao's plan?"
"Look! As shown in the picture, the Yelang Kingdom's army should be less than two hundred miles away from us at this time. There are many forked roads in this section of the road. It's unclear which one they will take, so they are not suitable for setting up an ambush. , only this section is the only way to go!”
Cao Shen laid the drawing flat and pointed at the road section above for analysis.
"That's right! This section of the road is the only section to enter the Dian King's City. It is surrounded by rolling mountains. If you don't want to climb over the mountains, you can only go here!"
Yingbu nodded repeatedly.
"The general wants to set up an ambush here?"
Xiao He asked.
"That's right! Once you get out of this section, there will be all the side roads, making it difficult to set up an ambush!"
Cao Shen nodded.
Although the Qin army was far more powerful than Yelang, they also wanted to fight in the simplest, safest and fastest way.
Not only can it save resources, but it can also ensure the safety of soldiers. It is more cost-effective than direct confrontation!
"In this case, we will move forward another fifty miles!"
Xiao He raised his head and glanced at all the soldiers present.
"If you move forward, just move forward. We just think they are too slow to arrive!"
"That's right! How long can we wait for those snails to arrive? We might as well go and greet them!"
"Yes! It's just idle time anyway. Just stroll over and treat it as digestible food...!"
The soldiers looked relaxed and all raised their hands in agreement.
"Okay! Let's set out as a whole army later, bring our baggage, and set up an ambush!"
Cao Shen put away the map and said impassionedly.
"yes!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison.
An hour later, the Qin army set off again, heading towards the only road Yelang must pass to reinforce his army.
Yelang's army moved very slowly. Judging from their posture, they had no intention of saving the Dian Kingdom. Therefore, the Qin army led by Cao Shen was not in a hurry along the way. They walked slowly to the place where the sky was gradually getting dark.
It was already midnight when all the firepower was deployed.
During this period, Cao Shen continued to send scouts to inquire about the progress of Yelang's army.
But the replies I got were either walking slowly or taking a nap, not in any hurry!
So the soldiers slept peacefully, replenished their spirits, and quietly waited for Yelang's army!
"These guys are really too slow. We have traveled fifty miles to meet them, and it's been a day and a night and they haven't arrived yet!"
Until the next night, there was no sign of Yelang's army. Yingbu was impatient to wait and walked back and forth on the top of the mountain.
"Okay, let's sit down for a while. Didn't the scout just report back that they have set up camp and the whole army has gone to sleep! They will definitely not come tonight. Even if you keep wandering, they won't come!"
Meng Yun found a dry tree trunk and lay leisurely on it watching the stars.
"Hmph! I really want to kill them with artillery right now and blow them up!"
"Go! See how you can push the cannon dozens of miles away by yourself?"
Meng Yun rolled his eyes at him.
This guy is good at everything, but he is too hasty!
"you……"
"Okay, go to bed quickly! I guess it should be here before tomorrow night!"
Cao Shen spoke up to stop the two from continuing to bicker.
The facts came true as he said. Yelang's army did not slowly walk into the valley until the evening when the sky turned around!
"General Barr, you see it's getting late now. Should we set up camp?"
Among Yelang's army, a deputy general asked their commander with a playful smile.
Barr raised his head, glanced at the setting sun, and nodded in agreement, "Yeah! That's almost it! Set up camp now, just make food before dark, have a good night's rest, and break camp tomorrow!"
Before they left, their King Yelang specifically told them that they did not have to go to support them, as long as they had the intention.
They advance slowly. After arriving at the Dian Kingdom, if they are still supporting, they will cooperate inside and outside to repel the Qin army. The two countries will carve up these small neighboring countries that the Qin army defeated!
If it is discovered that the Qin army has entered the city, he will immediately change direction and return to Yelang to block the Qin army with Yelang's existing troops.
By then, all the surrounding territory will belong to their Yelang!
"General Barr, why don't we walk forward and talk after we get out of this valley!"
Another lieutenant scanned the surrounding environment and warned carefully.
"Out of the valley...?"
Barr squinted his eyes, looked at the winding road ahead, and frowned, "How long will it take? Why don't we just camp in this valley and set off tomorrow!"
"General, this is the only passage leading to the Dian King's City. I'm afraid there may be an ambush...!"
"Nonsense! We may have an ambush? The Qin army is besieging the Dian King's City. Who would ambush here?"
The deputy general who suggested setting up camp said contemptuously.
Both of them are Barr's lieutenants, but one is the flattering type and can only flatter and look at Barr's face before speaking.
The person who suggested setting up camp outside the valley was calm and cautious.
Therefore, the two of them have always been at odds. Even when they go on an expedition, they always quarrel and look down on each other!
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst! If someone sets an ambush here, it will be difficult for us to escape!"
The cautious deputy general looked at the mountains on both sides and frowned.
"Hmph! He's tall and thick, but he's not as brave as a mouse! It's so quiet in this forest that there's not even an insect chirping. How can there be any ambush? General, let's set up camp here. If we get out of here, it will take at least half an hour. It will be dark by then, how can we set up camp?”
"It's just because it's so quiet that it's strange! General! I'd rather let the soldiers sleep in the open tonight than stay here!"
As Yelang's team walked, the two lieutenants quarreled, but the Qin army ambushed on the mountain was anxious.
"These guys are really lazy. If they get to the Flying Eagles, they will be kicked to death by General Han!"
"You can pull them down. If they are like this, they will never be able to join the Flying Eagles in this life!"
"Haha! That's right...!"
The two soldiers whispered quietly, but as soon as their words came out, they were drowned out by the sound of horse hooves and footsteps of Yelang Kingdom soldiers below.
Everyone is waiting for Yelang's army to completely enter the valley before taking action.
Cao Shen has already deployed soldiers and two cannons at the entrance and exit. As soon as the cannon fires in the valley, he will immediately push them out and cut off their retreat!
