The second day after capturing Bo Yi.
After Zhao Tuo left a soldier from the village to guard here, he led his army on the road to Shanfu.
According to the system commonly used by the Qin army, several positions are generally divided into several positions such as the rising army, the heeling army, the divided soldiers and the large army during the march.
But this time, Zhao Tuo's troops were only 5,000, which was not a lot.
In addition, there were no other cities that needed to be conquered on the way from Bo Yi to Shan Fu, so Zhao Tuo only arranged a hundred-man team on each side of the army for guarding, without deploying too many troops.
At the same time, Zhao Tuo merged the Xing army and the Hei army, and unified them with a thousand men from Shejian's command.
Firstly, Shebama has a calm personality, so it is safer to serve as a striker. Secondly, he has served as Zhao Tuo's vanguard and army leader for many times and is more experienced than the generals.
In this way, Zhao Tuo's army was divided into three parts.
At the front were a thousand people led by Shejian, who were responsible for exploring the route and guarding the road.
Ten miles away from Shejian Department was an army of nearly 4,000 men led by Zhao Tuo.
Behind the army were hundreds of Qin soldiers and conscripted civilians who were responsible for escorting the heavy supplies of food and supplies.
There are often cavalry exchanges between the three armies, responsible for delivering messages.
Under such a marching formation, the Qin army marched continuously for several days. On the ninth day after leaving Shan County, they were less than forty miles away from Shanfu County. In two days at most, they could reach Shanfu City.
"Reporting to the Lord of 2500, our army has discovered another Wei army cavalry, about ten people."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Shejian raised his eyebrows. As he got closer and closer to Shanfu City, more and more Wei cavalry were encountered on the road, and the frequency became more and more frequent.
These should be the rangers sent by Lord Ningling from Shan's father's city to investigate the military situation.
These Wei cavalry were like loaches, slippery, only watching the troops in Shejian from a distance.
Once the Qin army's cavalry came forward, they would not fight, but would turn around and run away, making them very difficult to catch.
Shejian 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 you send more cavalry, you are afraid that the other party will be a decoy, and there will be more people behind, swallowing up the cavalry you sent. And in that case, you will be led by the other party's nose.
"Ignore them, use your sentries and cavalry to clear the way and maintain your marching array. When encountering mountains, forests and valleys ahead, you must send people to investigate carefully to prevent an ambush."
"only."
Shejian gave the order, and he decided not to care about the cavalry. These people could see whatever they wanted. His unit was the vanguard of exploring the road, and there was nothing important.
He only needs to carry out his mission well and check out all the places where ambushes may be buried along the way to ensure the safety of the army and baggage troops in the rear.
…
In a dense forest more than thirty miles away from Shanfu City.
Wei Jiu looked anxious, looking at the counselor Hou Shu and the general Zhu Piao, and asked: "The Qin army pioneer was so careful, exploring all the dense forests and valleys where he passed. When he gets here, he will check it out." If we explore the mountains and forests, our whereabouts will inevitably be revealed, so what can we do?"
Hou Shu looked embarrassed. He was very resourceful when he was in Shanfu City, and clever ideas kept popping up in his mind one after another.
But when it came to the execution level, Hou Shu found that this ambush strategy was not that easy to use, especially when he encountered a Qin army pioneer who was so serious about exploring the road.
Damn it, why didn’t the Qin people choose a reckless man to be the vanguard!
According to his discussion with Wei Jiu and others, he planned to let the Qin army exploring the road go eastward first. Then they ambush the Qin army in the rear and directly attack the Qin army's commander. If they can kill the Qin army in the middle of the chaos, the battle will be considered a victory.
But according to the current situation, the Qin army of thousands of people will definitely explore the mountains, forests and valleys along the way. When they get here, the whereabouts of the Wei army will be leaked, and it will be impossible to ambush the Qin army.
"Since we can't ambush, why not return to the city, defend the city and then look for opportunities to defeat the enemy?"
Wei Jiu said with a tangled face. He had been frightened by the Qin army in several battles. Seeing that the ambush strategy might fail, he couldn't help but become anxious.
Zhu Piao shouted: "Don't be afraid, young master. Since we can't ambush the Qin army, then let's swallow this thousand-man Qin army vanguard first!"
Hou Shu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, if you can't ambush the Qin army, then you can ambush the Qin army with a thousand men. Haha, use our six thousand troops to ambush a thousand of them. Under the surprise attack, the Qin people The army will definitely be defeated, and if we fight six against one, how can we not win?"
"We can easily swallow up the vanguard of the Qin army. In this way, we can use the power of victory to fight the Qin army in the rear. At that time, there will be six thousand against four thousand, which will be used to wait for the Wei soldiers who have just won the victory to fight against the Qin army who have traveled a long distance. And the Qin army, which just suffered a huge defeat, will definitely win this battle!"
After hearing the plans of his counselors and generals, Wei Jiu's confidence was restored.
Yes, although the situation has changed, it is still beneficial to our side. Six thousand against one thousand, they will definitely be able to capture this Qin army's vanguard!
"In that case, let's follow your plan."
Wei Jiu nodded in agreement.
…
"Reporting to the Lord of Twenty-Five Hundred, there is a forest ahead. 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 forest valleys, and found no problems.
After receiving the order to investigate, a group of Qin troops entered the forest ahead, and the following Qin troops continued on the road without delay.
"Are those Wei army rangers still there?"
Shejian asked casually to the short soldiers beside him.
The short-sighted generals hurriedly rode forward, and soon came back to report: "Report to the 2500 Lord, no Wei cavalry has been found ahead."
Shejian asked casually, but was surprised when he heard the answer.
Because along the way, the Wei cavalry were watching from a distance, constantly exploring their own march. Although they were often driven away by their own cavalry, they would stick to them like brown candy after a while. Now I haven't found any of them, which makes people feel unusual.
At this time, a group of Qin troops responsible for exploring the forest had dispersed into the forests on both sides, and most of the Qin troops also set foot on the road in the forest.
Shen Jian's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
The short-sighted general didn't know what his two or five hundred masters were thinking. After looking around, he shouted: "Hey, there are so many birds in these woods."
These words woke Shejian up instantly.
He looked up and saw a flock of birds flying and circling in the dense forest on both sides.
"As the Art of War says, if the trees are moving, it's coming; if there are many grasses and obstacles, it's doubtful; if the birds are up, it's falling!"
"No, there's an ambush here!"
Shejian's eyes suddenly opened and he shouted at the soldiers around him: "Quickly form a formation and raise your shield to defend!"
At the same time, bursts of screams were also heard in the forest where the Qin army who had just visited the forest entered.
"Wei Jun!"
"There are Wei troops in the woods!"
In an instant, countless Wei soldiers emerged from the dense forest...
