Chapter 1604: There is an ambush here

Let's talk about Li Jing's side.

The main force of the Qin army led by Li Jing chose to withdraw before the battle, and it was naturally very difficult to withdraw safely, after all, the 80,000 Northern Han combined army was not far from the Qin army, and Wang Mang would never let the Qin army escape back to Beihai.

In this way, Li Jing led an army of 55,000 to escape, while Wang Mang led an army of 80,000 to chase at full speed, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

"How far is our army from the Qin army now?" Wang Mang asked left and right.

"Qi Yu is on the right side, it is less than ten miles, as long as you pass through the valley in front, you will soon be able to catch up."

As early as the place of pursuit, Wang Mang discovered that the escape route chosen by Li Jing was not a conventional route to return to Beihai.

Instead of taking the close and flat road, the Qin army chose to go farther and the rugged mountain road.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this choice.

The advantage is that it is convenient to set up an ambush after the soldiers are broken, and you can also use the terrain to fight to the death.

The disadvantage is that once you are caught up, you can't run away even if you want to.

Wang Mang felt that Li Jing would take this road, and he was ready to resist stubbornly, so he was naturally even more excited, and led the whole army to chase for more than 20 miles, and finally found the traces of the Qin army.

Wang Mang opened the map, looked at the terrain, and ordered: "Tell the whole army, do not rest, speed up, and continue to march." In addition, pay attention to prevent the Qin army from setting up ambushes. ”

"No."

Half an hour later, when Wang Mang led his army to the valley, he found a huge wooden sign standing in front of the valley, which was written in black ink: There are no ambushes here, Li Jingliu remains.

Seeing this, the generals of the Qi army couldn't help but look at each other, and Wang Mang frowned even more.

Wang Mang observed the terrain, to be honest, it was not suitable for setting up ambushes, if there was no such brand, he would definitely not think that Li Jing would set up an ambush here.

Now there is this sign deliberately left by Li Jing, and it is written that there is no ambush, but Wang Mang feels that Li Jing has bad intentions, and then looks at this valley, and finds that there is a murderous aura hidden in it.

Wang Mang put the wooden sign on the ground, frowned and asked, "Everyone, what do you think?" Could this be that Li Jing is deliberately deceiving us?

Did he set up an ambush, but said that there were no ambushes, so as to lead our army into an ambush?

Or was there no ambush in the first place, and Li Jing was playing tricks to delay time? ”

"This place is not suitable for setting up an ambush, even if Li Jing sets up an ambush, it will not play a big role, I think it should be Li Jing who is playing tricks to delay the speed of our army's advance." Chen Qingzhi said directly.

Zhou Yafu said: "No, Li Jing never does meaningless things, since he has set up such a brand, whether it is true or not, it proves that he and he is using a plan, so it is better for me to be cautious." ”

Wang Mang nodded, this time he agreed with Zhou Yafu's point of view, so he said: "Since this is the case, let's investigate first, and it's not too late to march." ”

Soon, after some investigation by the soldiers, it was found that the wooden plaque left by Li Jing was not wrong, and no trace of ambushes was found in the valley.

Wang Mang's face was embarrassed at first, and then he sneered: "Even this kind of little trick has been used, it seems that Li Jing is really poor in donkey skills." ”

"Lord, we have been delayed for a long time, we must hurry up as soon as possible." Chen Qingzhi said.

Wang Mang nodded and ordered: "Order the whole army, immediately march." ”

"No."

The combined army of the Northern Han continued to march, and after half a day, the place it had reached was very suitable for ambushes, and the only way to pass was through the road between the two mountains.

When Wang Mang saw this terrain, he immediately felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the army to stop, and asked left and right: "The terrain here is too dangerous, if our army rushes in, if Li Jing sets up an ambush here, it will be terrible to smash the rocks at that time." ”

As soon as Wang Mang's words fell, a soldier suddenly stood up with a wooden sign and reported: "Qi Yu Youxiang, who found this on the road ahead." ”

Wang Mang and others took a look at the Wanmu card, only to see that it was written: There are no ambushes here, Li Jingliu.

Wang Mang suddenly sneered and said: "It's another trick like this, Li Jing's intention is already obvious, false and real, so that we can't figure it out, so as to delay time."

But our army can't help but care about such a superficial strategy, after all, if it is false once, our army will definitely pay a heavy price.

The order was sent down and an immediate investigation of the area was launched. ”

"No."

Two hours later, after some investigation by the soldiers, it was found that the wooden plaque left by Li Jing was still not wrong, and there was still no trace of the ambush behind the mountain and on the mountain.

Wang Mang's face became a little unnatural, and he said coldly: "Li Jing is a good method, just relying on two wooden cards, he has delayed our army for so long, but so what?" Before reaching the North Sea, we will definitely be overtaken by our troops.

The order went down and the march continued. ”

"No."

After the Northern Han United Army passed through the two mountains safely, they followed the footprints of the Qin army, marched for more than ten miles, this time they chased a dense forest, and found a wooden plaque for the third time, and this time it was also written: There are ambushes here, Li Jingliu.

"What the ......"

Wang Mang couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, drew his sword and slashed at the wooden card, and forcibly cut the wooden card into firewood.

Seeing this, the generals looked at each other, they all understood why Wang Mang was angry, to be honest, he was really aggrieved, he had been targeted by Li Jing's scheming, and Wang Mang had already been restrained, and they would probably be even more angry if they were replaced.

Although there are ambushes on Li Jing's wooden card, there are no flocks of birds hovering in the sky above the dense forest, and the birds are all returning to the forest.

But based on this, it cannot be concluded that there are no ambushes, after all, as long as the number of ambushes in the forest is not large, it is also possible to hide from the birds.

"It can't go on like this."

Soon, Wang Mang calmed down and said: "This forest stretches for more than ten miles, if you really explore it gradually, I'm afraid you won't be able to explore it in a day, and Li Jing will have already returned to Beihai by then." ”

"Is that what you want to do?"

Zhou Yafu said that he is cautious by nature, even if he knows that it is a plan, he is not willing to take such a risk.

After Wang Mang pondered for a while, he said: "No, you can't just enter the forest like this, in case Li Jing sets fire to the forest, our army will be doomed." ”

"What then?"

Wang Mang's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said, "Send out a team of soldiers and horses to explore the way."

General Sand Blind, please lead 5,000 soldiers and go to explore the way. ”

A trace of annoyance flashed in Sha Roller's eyes, but he also knew that only his army was suitable for this task, and whoever made his 30,000 Zhao troops were all recruits and were most suitable for being cannon fodder.

The sand curtain led the five thousand Zhao troops to explore the road first, and the army was just like Lin, and Li Jing, who was hidden, knew it.

"Sure enough, it failed." Li Jing sighed, his eyes full of disappointment.
