Zhao Si drove forward, and Wang Li stepped forward to investigate.
At first, he would send a soldier back every hour to report. As the Emperor drove out of Chi Road and entered the official road, Wang Li sent soldiers back to report more frequently.
Although the First Emperor's driving has not stopped, the atmosphere in the convoy has become visibly tense. Even Zhao Si, who is driving, is highly focused in order to face the possible upcoming assassination.
Of course, objectively speaking, if there are soldiers surveying along the way, there is a high probability that the so-called assassins will not even be able to see the First Emperor's drive.
But what if?
The First Emperor was the head of the Qin Dynasty!
Moreover, after driving out of the Chidao, the terrain obviously changed to a certain extent as it progressed, from flat and open to slightly undulating. From a distance, there were undulating mountains, and the official road had to pass through this place.
Obviously, this position is the best place for an ambush.
It's no wonder that Wang Li is extremely cautious and summons soldiers more and more frequently.
Zhao Si has also made all preparations. If the situation is critical, he will really take the First Emperor to race and use chariot drift!
"No trace found!"
Among the mountains and rivers, the soldiers investigated over and over again.
"Go and report, the driver will proceed as usual! Continue to investigate!"
"Still no trace!"
"Continue to report, and drive on as usual!"
"The terrain here is difficult and it is an excellent location to set up an ambush. The soldiers who led the way continue to explore, and the rest of the people will stop with me to continue the investigation!"
"Enter in batches!"
This section of the road, which was about seven or eight miles long, became narrower and narrower as it went, and in the end it could only accommodate one vehicle. Obviously, this was the most dangerous location and the easiest place to set up an ambush.
Groups of soldiers took turns entering it to investigate.
At this moment, Wei Qian had already taken risks through rock climbing and ambushed in a dangerous position.
"Sir, their soldiers haven't entered yet, but the scouts will probably find out our location soon!"
Wang Li searched this place more than once, almost every one or two hours.
Wei Qian originally wanted to die to delay the battle, but he still wanted to achieve the maximum result in his heart.
If the opponent's general and his accompanying soldiers enter this important road together, the team will inevitably be lengthened. Only in this way can Wei Qian achieve the greatest results, and there is a possibility of killing the opponent's general on the spot.
However, the opponent's general was too cautious, and the accompanying soldiers were stationed at high places. They had no intention of entering with a large army. They just kept sending out soldiers to search.
Wei Qian only had 300 dead men in his hands, while the opponent had more than 2,000 troops!
The gap is huge... and everyone on the other side is wearing armor. Basically none of his three hundred dead soldiers have decent armor, only some bows and crossbows.
Without the right location, it would be impossible to cause effective damage to the opponent.
Wei Qian chose to continue waiting for the other party to enter.
But Wang Li's biggest advantage is that he has self-awareness. He may not be able to achieve a good record, but he will definitely be fine if he fights poorly.
If there is danger, don't go in and search again and again.
Search all directions from top to bottom!
"Sir, the Qin people's scouts are searching here again. If we don't take action, I'm afraid our position will be exposed!"
"Damn it, didn't we just search this place half an hour ago?"
Wei Qian and the others came in at a stuck time.
Wang Li had already controlled the side of the cliff that was easy to climb. He was walking on the back of the cliff. This place was almost vertical and no normal person would pay attention to it.
This position can be simply regarded as a right-angled triangle. Wang Li took an oblique angle to gain control of the commanding heights, while Wei Qian and the others took a right-angled approach to hide behind it.
Who the hell would think about others climbing up from an almost right angle position?
Wang Li would think so...
But the most terrible thing is that even if it is searched once or twice, how can anyone read it over and over again?
Whoever has nothing to do is playing hide-and-seek and looks up at the ceiling. Just look once or twice. Whoever has nothing to do can just look up and see if the person is hiding on the ceiling?
Wei Qian's military expedition and reflection on the dangerous path had no effect on Wang Li.
Their position will be exposed soon. The scouts sent by Wang Li have already come here. Once the position is exposed, it will be a real fight with swords and guns.
Behind them are cliffs. As the saying goes, it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down, especially rock climbing!
It would be no exaggeration to say that the road they climbed up was a dead end.
Wei Qian spat after looking at the simple outpost prepared by Wang Li, the Qin army that had been in formation, and even Wang Li who had been huddled in the middle army and never went out.
Fucking turtle!
Why are you so cautious when you haven't seen a single person?
The same goes for this group of Qin soldiers. The general gives such outrageous orders again and again. Are you really not distracted?
Why are you so careful and repeat something you have done countless times?
Wei Qian knew in his heart that there was a high probability that he would not be able to achieve any decent results. The opponent was waiting for him, and he had a numerical advantage and was extremely cautious with his equipment.
…
He can only die!
Come and use your own death to delay time!
As long as you do it yourself, the First Emperor's drive will inevitably come to a halt.
After the other party killed him, due to his cautious character, he probably had to search him ten or eight times before issuing a warning to drive him forward.
After that, we still have to move the boulder...
Qin Shihuang will definitely not be able to make it to his palace today.
The scouts were getting closer and closer. Wei Qian knew that he could no longer hide, so he stood up suddenly, drew his bow and nocked an arrow!
Whoosh!
An arrow pierced the scout's throat.
He is a descendant of the royal family, so his shooting skills are naturally good!
The other scouts hurriedly warned, and then subconsciously wanted to draw out their small shields to defend themselves, but unfortunately, it was already too late...
Hundreds of arrows were shot out densely, and several scouts died suddenly on the spot.
Although Lord Canghai only sent a soft bow, a soft bow can still kill people.
"There's an ambush!"
The scout did not die quietly!
Wang Li discovered the clue instantly and immediately ordered the formation.
"The whole army forms an array!"
There is no need to line up at all, because the array is always lined up.
"Shielders guard, crossbowmen prepare!"
"go ahead!"
The military formation moves forward, approaching step by step!
"shoot!"
The shield bearers are on guard, and the bows and arrows are firing!
The densely packed arrows gave the opponent a heavy counterattack. After a wave of shooting, dozens of dead soldiers around Wei Qian had fallen.
However, only a few people from the Qin army fell.
There was no way. Although Wei Qian had a commanding advantage, his position was only on a gentle slope, not much higher.
This geographical advantage cannot smooth out the equipment gap and the number gap. They only have soft bows in their hands, while the opponent has a hard bow Qin crossbow, armor, and shield bearers.
Dozens of people, which is really a huge casualty for more than 300 people.
Everyone knew that if they shot the opponent a few more times, they would be easily and effortlessly shot dead on the spot.
Some people are already rushing down to kill them desperately, hoping to get close and fight hand-to-hand.
"Back off! Back off!"
Wei Qian chose to order the retreat. He was not going to kill people, but to delay.
It's a pity that the deceased is not from Wei Qian's own family, but from the fundraiser...
So, discipline is not very good.
After Wei Qian gave the order, the remaining more than 200 people were separated. Dozens of dead soldiers had already rushed into the Qin army's battle formation, while Wei Qian led more than 100 people to retreat in a hurry.
The gap between equipment and number of people is huge!
Dozens of people rushed down without Wang Li giving orders.
They don't even have armor...
A spear poked out...
The Qin army only paid a few casualties and killed all the dead soldiers who entered the battle on the spot.
The battle loss was nearly one to twenty...
Although this group of dead soldiers was also carefully trained, the soldiers led by Wang Li were also the elite under the command of Lang Zhongling to defend the royal court.
Coupled with various disparities and factors, the reason why three people were killed by the opponent was because there were indeed a few dead soldiers who were far more skilled than others.
"Don't chase, press in slowly! Crossbowmen move forward!"
Although he could see that the opponent's number was very small, Wang Li was not in a hurry to pursue them.
He was really too cautious. After all, he had not yet figured out where the enemies came from and whether there were anyone else besides these people.
Looking at the soldiers advancing steadily outside, Wei Qian also continued to retreat slowly with his dead soldiers.
The two faced each other until the terrain became slightly flat, and behind Wei Qian there was already a steep cliff that could not be retreated.
"There's no one else!"
Wang Li was sure that the other party only had so many manpower left!
Wei Qian spat. The opponent's general did not give him any chance. He knew in his heart that even if everyone was here, it would be difficult to cause effective damage to the opponent.
But because of the other party's caution, the purpose of delaying time has been achieved.
He knew that when he went out with a gun, the other party had already sent troops to summon him, and the First Emperor's troops could only stop where they were until the danger was over.
"Everyone... follow me to death!"
Wei Qian smiled and led more than a hundred dead soldiers to launch the final charge.
…
And on the other side, in the motorcade that patrols the world!
"There are assassins ahead, stop the car!"
Zhao Si was startled and quickly tightened the reins. The six horses stopped, and the slowly moving convoy also slowly stopped.
There were too many people and it was too messy. Every time I started and stopped, I wasted at least half an hour.
With more than 10,000 people, including all kinds of people, how could it be possible to stop and leave within a few minutes?
"Assassin the king and kills the driver?"
Zhao Si subconsciously observed his surroundings.
The convoy and Wang Li were probably dozens of miles apart, and even if there were assassins, they would probably not be able to see it.
After all, he is his good brother, so Zhao Si is still a little worried.
"It should be okay..."
Zhao Si frowned and looked ahead.
The men and horses Wang Li led were the most elite Qin soldiers. Think about it, they had two thousand men. For now, no one could quietly pull out a man and horse that could kill two thousand Qin soldiers.
This is the truth, but Zhao Si still can't help but worry about his good brother.
"It hasn't been long since we left Guanzhong..."
Zhao Si sighed.
The gap between Guanzhong and Guanwai is so big that it's like two worlds.
(No need to ask for a monthly ticket...)
