The soldiers woke up naturally the next day, but the fatigue of this rush was eliminated a lot, and they walked around the market, looked at this, ate and eaten.
Suddenly, a messenger rushed in from the east gate, shouting to get out of the way, while urging the horse to run quickly, the horse ran full of foam, a look at the man's expression, it was definitely not good news, everyone consciously returned to the station.
In the letter sent, it was indeed not good news: Jiang Ji and they had encountered an ambush.
Dingxi here is hilly and undulating, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the terrain is complex, the ditches and ditches can be hidden, and a slightly wider place can come to an encounter, in short, exaggeratedly, every step may become a battlefield.
General Zhao Guo, who was beaten by Jiang Ji and the others, fled all the way east, and he didn't care about losing the city or losing the city on the way, he just wanted to rush home, Kun Yuguo was terrible!
But, running and running, the general calmed down, it must be a death to run back like this, he lost such a big person to Shi Hu, can Shi Hu spare him? If you don't get it, even your family will be finished! Before the war, he imagined the glory after going back, but he had already thrown it into a certain gutter, and if it was not brilliant, he saved his life, so he definitely couldn't go back like this.
Yuzhong and Dingxi have been lost, the general thought about it, transferred some troops from Qinzhou, and set up an ambush on the road, even if he saw Jiang Ji and them, they were like a rock, immovable, and waited quietly for them to enter the suit.
Of course, Jiang Ji and the others also knew the danger of marching in this kind of place, so they released a lot of scouts, but these scouts were carefully avoided, so they did not find anything abnormal.
Jiang Ji and the others felt that there must be a demon when things went wrong, so Shi Shao proposed to be stationed on the spot and observe carefully.
This kind of terrain is not safe to camp no matter where you are, so you chose a slightly more open place and everyone was stationed.
Several generals discussed and discussed, but there was no good way, the enemy was in the dark, they were in the light, unless the enemy moved, they didn't want to find it.
Zheng Ge said:
"Otherwise, if we wait for Zhuo Ye, we can feel more at ease when there are more people."
Shi Shao objected:
"You can't wait in this kind of place, in case Zhuo Ye doesn't wait, wait for the other party to come, there are not many of us, and we will be dumplings, now, either continue to move forward, or simply withdraw to join Zhuo Ye."
Let's say withdraw, everyone is a little reluctant in their hearts, but waiting in place is indeed dangerous.
General Hu said:
"Either we'll change our course a few more times so that the enemy won't be able to figure out where we're going."
This was also a solution, and the crowd moved on.
General Zhao Guo watched them approach the ambush circle little by little, and his heart was very happy, in the past few days, they have been changing the route of travel, this line has been finalized by the general and the generals many times, full of grasp and confidence, as if he has seen the scene of these people being brutally abused by him.
The crowd watched with excitement as they approached the encirclement, waiting for them all to enter and then sealing and killing!
However, something unexpected happened, the army of Kun Yuguo actually turned to a valley to the south, and it was obviously a little close! The general immediately commanded the transfer, but at such a close distance and with so many people's activities, Jiang Ji and them must have noticed it.
Not only the generals of Zhao State, but Jiang Ji and them are also studying the route while walking, and they need that unexpected change to achieve the goal, so Jiang Ji and they found that only this road around them is to the east, so they thought about changing the route, and the previous changes did not lead to the Zhao army, this time it can be regarded as leading the snake out of the hole!
When General Zhao was busy mobilizing, Jiang Ji and the others had already received a report from the scouts and immediately prepared for battle.
In the Zhao army, close to Jiang Ji, of course, they rushed over first, although there were cavalry on both sides, but in this kind of valley terrain, the cavalry advantage was reduced, Jiang Ji put the horses aside, all the staff acted as infantry, and the bullets and crossbows were aimed at the other side, and the firepower blocked the advance route of the Zhao army.
At the beginning, it was really effective, the team of people who rushed over first in Zhao Guo was stunned and failed to move forward, and lost a lot of people, but with the decrease in the number of firecrackers and the addition of the other half of Zhao Guo's people, Jiang Ji and them became more and more pressured, and they fought and retreated.
This valley to the south, the generals have already studied, and if you go south, there are roads to the east and west, although it is not on the same line, but there is a fork in the road, not all to the end.
When he was about to reach the fork in the road, Jiang Ji said:
"I'll take some people to the west and lure them away, and you guys will leave!"
As soon as the words fell, they were opposed by Shi Shao and others.
Jiang Ji roared:
"Do you still care about these at this time?! Don't give the old man a grinning here, you lost the opportunity, so many of us are all finished! The reputation that Kun Yuguo has just started can't be put back in our hands! ”
Everyone who roared quietly quietly, and some of the soldiers volunteered to lead the enemy with Jiang Ji, Shi Shao wanted to speak, but Jiang Ji glared back.
Jiang Ji picked some clever ones and asked Shi Shao to hide them first, and then everyone rode on their horses and kicked up a cloud of dust and ran westward.
In the dust, the soldiers of Zhao State couldn't understand it, so, it seemed that there were a lot of people, so they chased them directly, Shi Shao They still wanted to attack them from behind, but they looked at the number of people who ran over, and gave up, when the general did not transfer troops from Qinzhou, the difference in the number of people between the two sides was not too big, and after the adjustment of troops, the difference in the number of people on both sides was too great, if they attacked from behind, not only could not succeed, but also blinded Jiang Ji and their intentions.
After the Zhao army ran away, Shi Shao immediately sent a soldier to give him the horse with the best stamina, and asked him to go back to Dingxi to report first, while the others turned back to the previous road and ran west to meet the reinforcements, hoping that it would still be in time.
After receiving the letter from the soldiers, when they ordered the soldiers and horses to attack, they met Shi Shao and them on the way, and they led them to run in the direction of Jiang Ji.
On the other side, Jiang Ji and they put crossbows back while running, the dust was very large, and they couldn't see the people behind them clearly, but, in the valley area, people couldn't run very scattered, a thousand people launched out, even if they couldn't see clearly, they could always hit one and a half, and the Zhao army also released arrows, but Jiang Ji and they had few people, and they were relatively scattered, but after a long time, more and more people were lost.
The dust gradually faded, and General Zhao Guo saw that there were only a few hundred people running in front of him, and he was angry and screaming on the horse, this time he beat Kun Yuguo, and he was the most aggrieved in history! shouted that they wanted to break all these people into pieces, but they still didn't catch up from dawn to dark, and the night in the mountains was darker than outside, Jiang Ji and they hid with the help of the night.
The boundless Mantou Mountain, hiding so many hundreds of people, where can the general find it? All the patience of the general has been worn out, and he really can't fight, can't catch up, and has to vent all his anger to Shanshi.
Jiang Ji and they are not much better, whether it is a person or a horse, they are all colored, Jiang Ji is injured in the shoulder and abdomen, although the soldiers tied him and bandaged him, but for the elderly, this injury is enough for him.
Jiang Ji smiled bitterly:
"I really should have listened to General Zhuo's words and stayed in the rear, but now it has become a drag."
A soldier with a wounded arm said:
"Master Jiang, don't say that, if it weren't for you, we might have been wiped out."
Jiang Ji smiled and encouraged them:
"Don't give up, let's hide in the mountains now, the army of Zhao is not easy to find us, as long as we hold on for a few days, General Zhuo will definitely come, don't give up."
A soldier with a wounded leg came over with his leg in tow and said confidently:
"We will definitely persevere, General Zhuo must be rushing here," beckoned everyone, "Let's put together all the food on our bodies, we have to save some food." ”
Everyone gathered all the dry food, saved some food, and it was no problem to eat for ten days, and there were horses, so there was no need to worry about eating.
The least injured one said:
"Let's all squeeze in, warm."
After speaking, the movable ones helped to move but couldn't move, and everyone took off their armor, and surrounded the outermost to block the wind.
A soldier laughed:
"I didn't expect armor to be used like this."
Everyone smiled, and their hearts were a lot more relaxed.
They were running wild almost all night, and they only rested for more than two hours at night, and then got up again and continued on their way.
After dawn, Jiang Wu came to Hyun's side and said:
"This time, Cheng'er asked me to bring you a few ...... Well, what kind of weapon is that, let you try it, the effect of small-scale testing is very good, but I don't know how effective it will be when used in such a large environment as the battlefield. ”
Hyun thought of biological and chemical weapons, of course she couldn't let Ningcheng make inhumane things like poison gas bombs, and told Ningcheng at the time that as long as it didn't kill her, there were no sequelae, and she could put the enemy down, and Ningcheng complained about it.
Thinking of the scene at that time, a little smile appeared on his tense face, Jiang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, according to what Shi Shao said, Jiang Ji was afraid ...... Jiang Wu was really afraid that Hyun would be so tense, and if something bad happened, her nerves would collapse directly.
They rushed for three days in a row, and on the fourth day, a scout finally detected the whereabouts of Zhao's army, and at the same time, there were also scouts on Zhao's side who detected the whereabouts of Kunyu's army, and both sides rushed towards each other with red eyes.
As soon as he looked at the face, Kun Yuguo didn't say a word, it was just a firecracker smashed over, they brought a lot, and there was no loss on the road, the number was sufficient, the ghost of Zhao Guo howled and howled, and the general waited for them to fight a counterattack when the number of firecrackers decreased, but there was no weakening trend at all, an hour passed, even if they were all hiding, the firecrackers still kept smashing down.
The soil on this side of the northwest is relatively loose, like sand and gravel, if it is clay, the firecrackers will collapse at most a little slag, but here, the collapse of the soil, the clods of soil, like rain, fell down, although the Zhao army was hidden, it could not withstand the burial, and the general had to order the withdrawal.
