After the Jingping army withdrew from the battlefield, the first battalion was broken, and it got rid of the entanglement of Baimaqiang, and then marched quickly, and soon withdrew to a hillside ten miles away.

After the withdrawal, they took a short rest.

Here, they quickly set up a burning platform, and then burned the corpses of the shepherd soldiers brought out one by one, they had to fight next, it was impossible to bring the corpses back, and the corpses could only drag them down, so they could only bring the ashes back.

These corpses are comrades-in-arms to whom they can entrust their lives, and they must not let them die in a foreign land.

"Uncle Zhi, what about our casualties?" Xi Zhicai came up and asked Chen Zhi a little anxiously.

He could see it on the battlefield, it was all intuitive awareness, and he was aware of the changes in the combat effectiveness of the herdsmen, but he urgently needed some data now to prove that he was not wrong about seeing it.

"Lord Drama, our army has suffered more than 400 casualties!"

Chen Zhi is also counting the casualties, and the casualties have just been counted, and they are only an approximate number.

"The result?"

"According to preliminary statistics, more than 2,000 enemies have been killed!" Chen Zhi said this data, and he was also a little excited, the battle loss ratio of one to five was still not conducive to the victory on the battlefield that he played, could he not be happy.

In fact, his original extravagance, as long as he could maintain a one-to-two battle loss ratio, he was already very happy, after all, he couldn't be too extravagant to fight the Qiang people in the jungle.

But it turned out better than he had imagined.

He is also thinking about the reason, is the fighter too good to grasp? Or are the enemy forces not as strong as they think?

"Good!"

Xi Zhicai shouted loudly: "Although the number of troops in our army has decreased, the combat effectiveness has increased, and the main public disarmament and restructuring is right, professional soldiers will exert our unexpected combat effectiveness!" ”

He can already argue that there is too much difference in combat effectiveness between professional and non-professional.

With the same strength, it is enough to explain something that can maintain the battle damage by one to five, and the nomads who are all soldiers on the side.

"Master Xi, in this way, even if our Jingping First Army directly faces the combined attack of the Qiang soldiers and horses and Zhang Jibu, we have a chance to defeat them!"

Chen Zhi was also excited, he had greater ambitions, and hurriedly asked.

"Theoretically!"

Xi Zhicai said: "We underestimate the strength of Jingping's First Army, under the same combat effectiveness, we have too many advantages, even against more than twice the troops, we have a chance to win!" ”

"But ......"

He paused and said: "Winning a war with the least casualties is our constant purpose, and the next plan remains the same, it is still a feint, and then they are introduced into the camp of the Xiliang army!" ”

"Zhang Ji may not be so easily fooled!" Chen Zhi was a little worried.

"I'm not going to give him a chance to react!" Xi Zhicai sneered: "We killed so hard just now, do you believe that those Qiang people will chase after them?" ”

"It should be!"

"As long as you can, you can do it!" Xi Zhicai said confidently: "We are ready to withdraw, the main force must march slowly, we must hang them, and you have to send two troops to fight with them, and the result is defeated, just that!" ”

"Again and again, again and again!"

Chen Zhi understood, and he arched his hand and said: "The drama master is very scheming, this is to completely sink their suspicions, strengthen their momentum, and make them trust that they can annihilate us, only in this way can they move forward!" ”

"It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen!"

Xi Zhicai pinched the bridge of his nose and said softly: "Next, we can only see if they will move forward bravely in order to annihilate us!" ”

…………………………

……

Dozens of miles away.

Xiliang military camp.

Zhang Ji has received a request for help from his nephew Zhang Xiu, but he is not in a hurry to march, he is still in place to control the battlefield, and now in the war in Wolf Valley, Zhang Xiu undoubtedly has the upper hand.

At this time, he shouldn't appear too early, which will deprive Zhang Xiu of his glory, and he has to let this nephew continue to play.

Zhang Xiu is his hope.

He has no children under his knees, and gave all the training to Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu did not live up to his training, he was already the king of guns in the north at a young age, a top martial arts, few people in the world can compare, and he is not shallow in martial arts, marching and leading troops, all have rules, and he will surpass his own generals in the future.

"General, the young general is now in the Wolf Valley, and I am afraid that he will not ask for help when it is not necessary!"

A confidant strategist whispered: "We don't send troops, isn't it a little unreasonable!" ”

"Let him deal with it himself!"

Zhang Ji put down the military affairs in his hand and said calmly: "This is what he has to deal with in the future, and if there are reinforcements every time, he must let him know what danger is and how to break through in danger!" ”

"But Bai Maqiang has brought reinforcements in, wouldn't we give up the spoils in the wolf valley to Bai Maqiang!"

"We have a population of tens of thousands, everything in the Wolf Valley doesn't matter, how much can we get, after all, this is the martial capital, his white horse Qiang's hand is present, and he doesn't dare to eat alone!"

Zhang Ji sneered: "The more he gives me face, I can give him face, if you don't give me face, then don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!" ”

"But ......"

Zhang Ji thought about it, but he was still a little worried, the experience returned to the experience, he could not allow Zhang Xiu to be in danger: "It's better to let the scouts keep an eye on it, and in addition, push the pioneer battalion ten miles, and there will be enough time to help, but you can't attack without our military orders!" ”

"No!"

When the generals heard this, they immediately laughed secretly, this general is really heartbroken, and he wants to strengthen the young general, and he is worried about the safety of the young general.

……

Night.

Outside the camp, there was silence.

There are many dense forests where the Xiliang army is encamped, which is convenient for secrecy, which is why they have not been found, if it weren't for Jing Wusi's spies following Zhang Xiu's messenger, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to find it.

In such a dense forest, suddenly the flames were monstrous, one by one torches were lit, and a group of soldiers and horses were stationed in the camp next to the Xiliang Army with great fanfare.

"What?"

Zhang Ji was awakened, he looked at his scouts, and asked, "Within five hundred meters of us, a troop of soldiers and horses appeared?" And they're still building camps? ”

The news was a little confusing to him.

If he wants to say that there are soldiers and horses attacking him, he will not be surprised, but now, this army of soldiers and horses appeared openly and appeared next to him, is this when he is himself, and the thousands of troops under his command are transparent?

"Exactly!"

The scout reported: "General, they have set up camp next to us, and the army is very strong, estimated to be thousands, nearly tens of thousands!" “

"Didn't they find us?" The generals gathered as soon as possible, put the camp on alert, and discussed how to deal with it.

"Impossible!"

Someone retorted: "It's only 500 meters, as long as the scouts are released, it is impossible not to find it, they must have discovered us!" ”

"Then why are they still camping safely?"

"This is a provocation!"

"It's all good, the most important thing now is to figure out their origins, know yourself and your opponent, and only then can you survive a hundred battles!" A lieutenant spoke, his voice deep, and said, "Otherwise, we will be very passive!" ”

"Is it the Qiang or the Han?" Zhang Ji asked.

"Han Chinese!"

The scout replied: "Although their banners are hidden in secret, we can't see clearly, but they are definitely soldiers of the Han army!" ”

"In addition to us, are there any other Han troops in Wudu?"

"What if these Han troops aren't from Wudu?"

An idea was proposed.

"Hanzhong, or Guanghan?" Zhang Ji's eyes flashed with a cold glow.

Wudu is adjacent to the two counties of Hanzhong and Guanghan.

If it weren't for Hanzhong, it would be Guanghan, the pastoral army in Hanzhong, and the Yizhou army in Guanghan, all of which were enemies of the imperial court and enemies of Xiliang, so they had to face them squarely.
