At this time, Yan general Gongsun Yan and Liu Wenqin had the same idea, and decided to let Gongsun Yuan once again lead five thousand elite cavalry to surrender to the Qin army's artillery position.
However, both sides seemed to guess that the enemy would send troops to rob the camp, so! Ambushes have been set up around the artillery positions.
The moon was dark and the wind was high. Huo Ji led five thousand cavalry out of the camp. Because they were light cavalry, Huo Ji's marching speed was very fast.
In addition, the Qin army specializes in training for night battles, so! The Qin army is very good at night fighting.
But today, as if God was helping Qin Jun, the moon in the sky was actually covered by dark clouds.
hiss!
When quietly approaching the enemy's artillery camp, Huo Ji suddenly stopped.
He observed the surroundings. Although it was grassland, the hillsides were rugged. At night, ambush troops were lurking on the slopes behind them. Once an attack was launched, they would most likely be surrounded by enemy troops.
"General, what's wrong?" the deputy general next to him suddenly asked.
"Something's wrong!" Huo Ji said suddenly, "This artillery camp is an important military base of the enemy. How can it be so quiet?"
"Shouldn't we be heavily guarded?"
"This... I'm afraid it's an enemy army. I don't think our army will attack the camp!" the deputy general continued to guess.
"We can't leave. Let's go around the main position and go to the slopes to take a look!" Huo Ji said.
immediately! He gave up the galloping and slowly marched towards both sides of the artillery position.
On the other side, Gongsun Yuan, who had completely bypassed Huo Ji's troops, had arrived outside the Qin army's position. The result! As soon as they launched the attack, they found that the Qin army was surrounded by large ambushes.
It was the person he least wanted to see, Hu Hou Hou Xiaoyue. After being defeated once by Hu Xiaoyue, Hu Xiaoyue became his nightmare.
"kill!"
Hu Xiaoyue ran out, pointing his sword at Gongsun Yuan on the horse, "General Gongsun Yuan, you didn't expect it! We meet again. My general has guessed that you will come, so I asked this general to wait here for a long time. Dismount quickly and surrender."
The Qin army has already come up to kill them.
Gongsun Yuan did not dare to slack off at all.
"Fortunately, the military advisor allowed me to keep an eye on him!" Gongsun Yan secretly rejoiced.
His main army did not go too far.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
However, today is his second defeat. If this defeat spreads to the army, he will become a shame among the Yan generals.
Gongsun Yuan fought his way out, and finally escaped at the cost of hundreds of soldiers and horses.
Qin Yan had reached this point in the war, and almost every move he made was very careful.
When the two armies ambushing the Yan Army's artillery positions heard the sound of bombs coming from the Qin Army, they immediately guessed that Gongsun Yuanzhong was ambushing them.
"What happened to the Qin army? They are as smart as foxes." Wang Wen clenched his fist and smashed it on the soil in front of him angrily.
"Wang Yu, tell me...will the Qin army come to rob our artillery position? It's been so long, and I haven't even seen a single Qin army."
"I wonder... could it be that Liu Wenqin has guessed that we will set up an ambush here!" Wang Yu frowned.
However, if you want to guess whether there will be an ambush, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how can you not guess it?
Unless you are a mediocre person.
At this moment, after Huo Ji turned more than half a circle, he happened to find Yan Jun on the edge of the slope.
"General, there really is a Yan army."
"Will they find us?"
The deputy general said.
"I probably haven't found it yet!" Huo Ji said.
"It seems that if we surrender the enemy's artillery positions tonight, we will not be able to attack them by sneak attack. However, the general issued a military order to the general!" The deputy general began to worry again.
You know, they only have five thousand soldiers and horses, how can they fight against tens of thousands of Yan troops.
"I would like to ask you how many soldiers and horses Gongsun Yan leads on the front line?" Huo Ji asked.
"Three hundred thousand!" the deputy general said directly.
"hehe!"
"There must not be many soldiers and horses in Xiongcheng!" Huo Ji touched his chin.
"ah…"
The deputy general understood what Huo Ji was thinking, "General, do you want to attack Xiongcheng by surprise? How can we possibly capture Xiongcheng with so many soldiers and horses?"
"Are you scared?"
"I have heard that the Yan Army will transport a batch of grain and grass to Xiongguan every once in a while to provide food and clothing for the army. We can bypass Xiongcheng and directly intercept the Yan Army's grain and grass, and then change into Yan Army's clothes. Cheating Xiongcheng..."
Huo Ji whispered in the deputy general's ear.
"That being the case, let's make a bet with the general!"
"Okay, put on the horse bit, don't let the enemy discover our army later." Huo Ji ordered.
"promise!"
Five thousand light cavalry behind him immediately dismounted from their horses.
Put a horse bit on the horse's mouth to prevent the horse from making a sudden noise and alarming the Yan army.
Just as Huo Ji said, Gongsun Yan did not dare to slack off in the face of the Qin army. Almost all the troops and horses in Xiongcheng had been emptied.
There won't be too many soldiers and horses left at Xiongguan.
Huo Ji and other five thousand sergeants jumped off their horses, led their horses and walked quietly from the area above the Yan army.
Just like that, a team of five thousand people was drowned in the darkness.
At this time, the Yan army found that the Qin army did not come to rob the camp, so they went back.
Liu Wenqin, who hadn't noticed Huo Ji's return until early in the morning, finally started to get anxious.
With a "pop" sound, Liu Wenqin slapped his palm directly on the handsome case and said angrily: "What the hell is Huo Ji doing! It's been several hours, why is there no sign or movement?"
"General, General Huo Ji... no... you won't let the Yan army be destroyed!" Hu Xiaoyue couldn't help but say.
This is almost the worst case scenario.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even if it is destroyed, there must be some movement! But now... there is no movement at all!" Liu Wenqin was worried in his heart. "Is it a military order?"
Could it be that I really misjudged Huo Ji.
"They only have two days' worth of food on them!"
Each soldier carries compressed biscuits and small dried meats on his body.
"General, General Huo Ji has many clever ideas. Maybe he just has a new way to defeat the enemy!" Luo Zong guessed.
"Um!"
For the current plan, this is the only explanation that makes sense, "Send an order that the three armies should not make any noise and continue to attack the Yan Army tomorrow. Also! Let the secret guards placed by our army inside the Yan Army keep an eye on it. I will write a letter now. , send it to His Majesty."
As early as a few years ago, the Qin Army's secret guards had already entered the Yan Army, even! There are many secret guards in Youdu, the capital of the Yan army.
Dongfang Yu was prepared for a rainy day. From the moment the Dark Guard was born, he was arranging the world and breaking the Dark Guard into various forces that threatened him.
Today, Huo Ji can only rely on luck to attract the enemy's Yunliang team.
The soldiers quickly arrived at the rear camp.
Although it was early in the morning, Dongfang Yu's tent was still lit with fire.
