The consumption of night sorties is huge, and those who have a small family and a small business like Wang Buxing can only engage in some guerrilla play.

If you really let the army go out at night, you will have a headache and want to hit the wall.

Just look at the 50,000 troops sent out by Zhang Han, the torches reflect a long fire dragon, and you can see their dynamic trajectory from afar.

However, the torches have been used a lot, but the marching speed is still not comparable to that of the daytime.

And how many torches do you need for an army of 50,000?

The improvised torches have not undergone systematic modification and suitable materials, so they burn quickly and the flame is not stable.

It often takes half an hour to replace three or four torches, and the problems are frequent, even affecting the marching speed of the whole team.

The guerrilla general in charge of observation was a lot more relaxed, feeling the darkness and following the Qin army's team.

The distance is a few miles away, and the firelight is the best navigation, and there is no fear of losing it.

The night was peaceful, there were no hidden dangers outside, and the guerrilla generals who had been attacking them did not appear.

On the contrary, it was because of their own problems that the troops were exhausted.

For the whole night, I walked almost less than thirty miles, but fortunately it was not too far from the place where yesterday's incident happened, and it could be reached in half a day at most.

Although it is not far, if the other party carries a large amount of grain, grass and people, the speed of movement will be slower, and it is excellent to be able to walk twenty miles in one night.

So, at the moment of dawn, the Qin army began to release a large number of scouts to pursue the signs of the grain team.

"It's coming! Here it comes! There are not many people, less than a tun, all of them are cavalry! A little imp hid behind the hillside and reported to the hundred generals below.

Wei Wu frowned slightly, it turned out to be a cavalryman, which is a bit difficult to handle......

There is a shortage of war horses, but what they lack more is someone who can ride a war horse.

Zhang Buyi selected elite soldiers from the whole army, and after a long period of training, he barely managed to gather less than 1,000 people who could ride horses, and the combat level was not guaranteed.

There are even fewer guerrilla generals who can ride here, and even if they can ride, they will not be used in battle.

Most of them are tasked with communication, and this is the most practical.

There are only three horses under his command, and three of them can ride horses, so they can't let the three of them fight with the cavalry of a tun on the opposite side, right?

"Wolf smoke!" Wei Wu clenched his teeth, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

His ancestral home is Wei State, and his ancestors did not have a surname, some were just a single name, and even until now, there are many people who do not have a surname.

The five ancestors of Wei served in Wei Wushu for several generations, and later Wei Wushu was down, and the Wei State was gone.

Because he was born with a slightly larger physique, he had a dark complexion, and he looked very strong.

So his grandfather named him Wei Wu, and the homophony is not much different from Wei Wushu, which can be regarded as pinning the hopes of the older generation of Wei Wushu on him.

It's useless though......

Soon, a thick black smoke drifted towards the sky, and it could be seen within a radius of dozens of miles.

The wolf smoke is not only a signal, a signal for war, but also a warning signal.

At the same time, Wei Wu lined up with ninety-seven men and waited for the charge of the fifty cavalry of the Qin army.

Four or five miles away, several groups of guerrilla generals who had been hiding in the shadows began to line up, ready to come to support.

The Qin army on the opposite side also saw the wolf smoke, and at the same time saw the guerrilla generals who were lining up at the heights.

General Qin was stunned for a moment, and immediately sent someone to investigate around.

He didn't quite believe that there would only be a hundred people on the other side, and he didn't believe that they would stand up at this time, which was a bit unreasonable.

The disadvantage of infantry and cavalry is here, even if you are better than him in foot combat, but the opponent can narrow the gap between the two sides with excellent mobility.

The place chosen by Wei Wu is the highest place around, the place with the best view.

In front of him was a relatively shaky slope, and if the cavalry wanted to rush up from here, it would inevitably expend a lot of physical strength, and at the same time make the cavalry lose speed, so as to ensure their own advantage.

But now they can only watch as they climb uphill from outside their attack range, and then unscrupulously probe the area behind them.

The top of the mountain is a relatively gentle place, which is also some of the characteristics of the mountain, and there are even fields cultivated by the people on the mountain, but due to the situation in recent years, it has led to desertion.

At this moment, it has become a relatively ideal battlefield for cavalry.

At least it's more comfortable to attack here than to attack from the bottom up.

Although Wei Wu set his position in the center of the mountaintop, no matter where the opponent launched an attack, there was no guarantee that the speed of the war horse would be completely raised.

"Tun Chang, there are enemy troops a few miles away, there are not many people, about a hundred, but they have appeared in several directions." The Qin army, who came to investigate, happened to see the guerrilla generals who were rapidly supporting, and passed this information back.

"Dog's day, Lao Tzu knows!" Tun Chang couldn't help but curse secretly, and then waved his big hand: "Withdraw!" ”

The speed of the war horses is fast, but they have ridden a distance of almost ten miles before, and now they have to rush up this big slope and have to fight, and the horsepower will be affected.

Even without considering the horses, they needed to settle the battle in half an hour, or they would be entangled by enemy forces coming in from miles away.

Don't think that you can run if you have a horse, if you really ride a war horse and go through a vicious battle, they really won't be able to run away.

Of course, the most important thing is that he doesn't feel that he has the courage to go head-to-head with a hundred opponents, let alone the confidence to take them in less than half an hour.

So, if you don't withdraw now, when will you wait?

However, when the group of scouts returned to the camp, the other scouts who returned to the camp asked the reason, and they had seen the previous wolf smoke, and their hearts were tickled.

After some exchanges, it was discovered that except for their tun people, who encountered the enemy army, the other more than 20 scouts did not encounter even a single figure, not even ordinary people.

The news quickly reached Peng Jia's ears, and after a little thought, Peng Jia was shocked in his heart.

"They must be trying to hide something, there must be something behind it that makes them nervous, immediately gather all the cavalry scouts, rush up and entangle them, Liu Junhou, you lead five thousand infantry to follow, you must stop them!"

Peng Jia realized the seriousness of the problem, and if there was nothing behind them, they should hide and not show their heads.

The release of wolf smoke in broad daylight, and then the formation to meet the battle, is obviously to attract firepower.

Soon, a thousand cavalry were assembled.

This is not cannon fodder composed of prisoners, but the real elite of the Guanzhong Legion.

The strength of the Guanzhong Legion was already insufficient, and this time Zhang Han brought less than 3,000 people to integrate in, and they were also needed this time, so they were temporarily transferred to act as scouts.

However, when the thousand cavalry came to that hillside, they found that there was no shadow of the enemy.

If it weren't for the fact that there were traces of burning wolf smoke and human footprints on the ground, many people would have thought that someone had told a lie before.

Walking back along the footprints, it didn't take long for me to see a small village.

If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of fresh traces on the road to the village, they would have really ignored it.

"There is an ambush ......"
