Chapter 568 Ambush

Qi Feng had private goods, a lot of small boats and logs, etc., and Wu Yuehou ordered to cross the river nearby, which was exactly what he wanted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

If he crosses the river in a unified manner, then his private collection will have to be handed over, and the things he has worked so hard to get will not be used by himself, and it will definitely not be a taste in his heart.

It's good, it's not in vain.

Therefore, he has the largest number of people who crossed the Chen River, estimated to be about 150,000 or 60,000 people.

Because he did not build a pontoon bridge, after crossing the river, affected by the flow of the river, his people were scattered on the river bank for dozens of miles, turning into a skirmish line.

He was also very lucky, the Xia State Navy burned the river, and the source of the fire was no longer a threat to him, and it gradually extinguished, and even the grass and trees on the shore were not ignited.

Because of the light crossing of the river, the armor and baggage horses were left in the barracks on the north bank.

He left 10,000 men behind.

He erected a large banner and ordered the stragglers to gather, and at this moment he received an order from Wu Yuehou to attack the city of Kanding.

"Pass the order, you don't have to gather to the Chinese army, all of them are killed to the city of Kanding, the Hou Ye has an order, burning, killing and looting is not a violation of military regulations, but there is one thing for me to remember, no burning food, whoever grabs the property belongs to whom, no self-robbery and killing, whoever kills first into the city will be credited. ”

The people who originally rushed to the Chinese army downstream, after receiving this order, turned around and ran to the city of Kanding.

At that time, the river was already cold and biting, and the Qin army swam across the river, and after going ashore, he was shivering and shivering, and his spirit was sluggish.

They are extremely excited, the first to enter the city of Kanding can not only get the first credit, but also give priority to grabbing good things, originally the military regulations of the Qin State are very strict, but now that they are released, it is equivalent to the opportunity to make a fortune.

They were excited, but they didn't realize that they had entered the ambush circle of the Xia army.

The Wuwei army received an order to leave the Shuo River in the city of Kanding, and was on the march, when the scouts came to report that the Qin army had begun to cross the river.

Chai Ming, Chai Shichang, and Shi Bao'e unfolded the map and asked the scouts to point out the situation of the Qin army's crossing of the river.

"Thirty miles away from this Laojiangdao is the best ambush point, the south is more than ten miles long Laojiang embankment is more than ten zhang high, and behind it is a willow forest to hide soldiers. ”、

Laojiang Road is left after the diversion of the Chen River, because it is flat, it immediately became an official road, this official road went straight to Kanding City, last time Wuyang Hou and Jinyang Hou walked through, at that time the coalition army did not ambush them here, this time they will not pay attention to it, so Chai Shichang chose to ambush the Qin army here.

At this time, another scout rushed back to report, and the Qin army ran here like crazy.

Chai Ming looked at the sky, the sun was already in the west, and it was less than an hour before it got dark.

"How far is the Qin army from here?"

"About seventy or eighty miles. ”

"Yes, keep inquiring. ”

The Scout Captain said yes and walked away.

"The order was given to the whole army to advance at full speed, and to rush to the old river embankment before dark to prepare for battle. ”

The Wuwei army died down, marched quickly, the vanguard of the day before the dark has arrived at the break of the old river embankment, there is the upstream of the old river embankment, the Chen River broke through the gap about seventy or eighty zhang wide when the flood occurred, and it is also the entrance of the official road, which is already very close to the Chen River, and the sound of the flow of the river can be heard.

The scouts came in time to report that the vanguard of the Qin army was less than ten miles away.

The scout said that the Qin army was chaotic, as if it was racing.

"What's going on?"

Chai Ming and the others were a little stunned, as far as he knew, the quality of the Qin army was very high and the combat power was extremely strong, so they were prepared for a hard battle, and they didn't understand it when they heard that this was the case.

"Revisit. ”

The Wuwei army was also very tired from the rapid march, but when they heard that the Qin army was about to arrive, they cheered up and prepared for battle.

Qi Feng did not restrain the soldiers, but encouraged them to move quickly towards Kanding City, and the generals who fought for merit formed a gang and prepared to take the lead, so there was a strange scene on the bank of the river.

A lot of small groups of thousands or thousands, like they're racing.

They only had a portable weapon, no armor, no bows and arrows and shields except for the generals, and if it weren't for seeing and hearing their vigorous spirits and howling, they would have thought that they were some remnants of the defeated army.

Qi Feng made a big mistake, that is, he forgot the most important thing, that is, there were coalition forces or Xia troops south of the Chen River, but he hadn't seen anyone appear so far, isn't it very abnormal.

And Qin Pingchuan, who led 100,000 people to Qinyang City in the upstream, acted very cautiously, although he also conveyed Wu Yuehou's military order that he could act recklessly, but Qin Pingchuan still tried his best to restrain them.

Along the way, the head was dizzy from the billowing smoke, the sputum was black, and the corpses of the Qin army could be seen everywhere on the road, some were burned to death, and it seemed that they swam ashore with all their might, but they did not escape the doom of being burned or smoked to death.

Some were killed, and there were also corpses of coalition troops, but they were much less than those of the Qin army.

After walking forty or fifty miles, nearly 10,000 people were gathered before dark.

But these people are miserable, more than half of them have no weapons or even clothing.

More than half of the wounded escaped the siege of the coalition forces, and they were also grateful for the fire that burned on the riverbank.

The coalition forces retreated, and they escaped being consumed by the fire by taking refuge in the water.

Because it was late autumn, the grass and trees on the shore had dried up, and the fire burned quickly, Qin Pingchuan rushed all the way, there were not many open flames, but the smoke was still very large, and it was difficult to see people three or four steps away, and it was also difficult to breathe, and there was a sense of suffocation.

If the Qin army is not indulgent, their quality is very high, and Qin Pingchuan is well restrained, so these more than 100,000 people are not scattered and are advancing steadily, but it will not be possible to reach Qinyang City tonight.

This is a problem, they did not bring food, and they said that they could rob it, but there was no one in the villages and towns in this area for a long time, so who could rob it.

And these villages and towns near the river were also burned to rubble.

Qin Pingchuan led the army away from the Chen River and found a relatively intact town to settle down.

Fortunately, although the town did not find food, it did find a lot of red and white potatoes and some vegetables.

But it was not enough for more than 100,000 people to fill his stomach, and Qin Pingchuan was afraid of robbery, so he let the generals be responsible for the equal distribution.

The figure of the coalition army appeared outside the town, and the Qin army suddenly became nervous、、、、

Qi Feng's vanguard had already entered the ambush circle, but Chai Ming did not order an attack.

"I suggest letting go of a third of the people and letting General Ye's people warm up, you see that the only big flag is not far from here, let's target him. ”

Shi Baoe, who has never been involved in the military, suggested.

Chai Ming and Chai Shichang accepted this suggestion, so Qi Feng's former army passed through the old river channel smoothly.

Qi Feng in the back was actually not too careless, he kept paying attention to the situation in front of him, and when he saw that there were no accidents, he couldn't help but put his mind at ease.

"It's getting dark, let's camp in front and rest、、、"
