King Qin said: "What way? Li Yan said: "If the cannon wants to be fired, a large amount of gunpowder must be filled into the barrel, and then the gunpowder must be ignited, and the shells will be shot out by relying on the explosive force of the gunpowder. Let them have no medicine to use, and the cannon will be useless. ”

Ziyi clapped his hands: "Yes, Li Gongzi's idea is too good." You don't need to take the gunpowder with you, just throw a torch at it. ”

He looked at King Qin: "Great King, I can send a team of men and horses at night to attack the enemy camp and destroy those gunpowders." ”

King Qin hesitated a little: "Hong Chengchou has a way to use soldiers, after he sets up camp, he will definitely prevent us from sneaking attack, you send people, even if you can touch the enemy camp, in a hurry, can you find a place to store gunpowder?" ”

Ziyi said: "We don't know, the people in the official army must know, when the time comes, grab your tongue, and you will be clear when you ask." ”

Li Yan was also worried: "Hong Chengchou attaches great importance to these cannons, and the guards must be extremely strict, and those gunpowders, he will never put them together, they must be stored separately." You burn a place, and it's useless. ”

Ziyi thought about it and was right: "What should I do then?" Just watching him crash down the walls? ”

King Qin was noncommittal, and suddenly asked, "Do you know why Hong Chengchou didn't besiege the city?" ”

This sudden question, everyone was stunned for a moment, Fan Ju thought for a while, and said: "The scout reported that the official army only came with 10,000 horses, and it really wants to besiege the city, there are only more than 2,000 people at each gate, this point of men and horses, we can't help but rush with all our strength, if we concentrate the main force and break through each one, the official army will be defeated, Hong Chengchou understands this truth, so he does not besiege the city." ”

King Qin nodded slightly: "That's right, but this is only one of them." In the king's opinion, the real purpose of his not besieging the city is to let us send men and horses out of the city to attack him. Imagine, if the official army only attacks the east gate and does not attack the other three gates, our Qin army can send people out of the city from the other three gates and go around the back of the official army to launch a surprise attack. First, it can harass the enemy, and second, it can be taken by surprise, and there is a state of flanking back and forth. ”

Ziyi was puzzled: "Since Hong Chengchou can think of this, why is he not afraid of our sneak attack?" ”

King Qin said: "According to this king, Hong Chengchou must have people and horses ambushed behind the camp, as long as we go out of the city to sneak attack, he can come to a counter-encirclement, counter-attack, and annihilate our men and horses out of the city." ”

Li Yan nodded again and again: "The king is extremely worried. Therefore, if you want to go out of the city and destroy the cannons, you can only take some men and horses in vain, and it is absolutely impossible. ”

King Qin looked into the distance, and his thoughts seemed to drift far away: "At the moment, we can only sit and guard, and the only hope is not here, but hundreds of miles away. ”

What he thinks about is the white rise of Meixian County. If Wang Jian can see Bai Qi and lead him forward, then the two sides will join forces and defeat Hong Chengchou.

King Qin prayed silently: I hope that Wang Jian has seen Bai Qi at this time.

But if he knew Wang Qian's situation, he would only be more worried.

Since that night, after the King of Qin sent Wang Jian to leave Xi'an City, Wang Jian took ten Qin troops, quickly whipped up, and went straight to Meixian. Not long after they left, the fine work sent by Fan Ju also went out of the city and chased after them. This fine work is a Fufeng man, very familiar with the geography of this area, he did not take the main road, but copied a shortcut, rushed to Xingping first.

Xingping is between Xi'an and Meixian, close to Wugong, this meticulous work knows that once it reaches Wugong, it is Baiqi's territory, and the official army has no advantage here. So he went crazy and beat horses, and finally arrived in Xingping before Wang Qian.

He entered the county seat and went straight to the county government to announce the change. The county commander was just about to have lunch, and when he heard about the military situation, he thought that he was going to attack in vain, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly asked for a meeting. At the same time, he went to invite the generals of the county garrison to come.

The fine work told the story of the King of Qin sending Wang Jian to unite with Bai Qi, which frightened the county commander and the general to look at each other and change color.

Xi'an was occupied by the Qin army, and they had just gotten the news, because Xingping was between Xi'an and Meixian, and now it was a situation of being attacked before and after, if the two forces united, Xingping's projectile land would definitely not be able to be saved.

The county magistrate asked the general what to do, and the general gritted his teeth and asked the fine work: "You came to report this, why?" ”

"I am a Fufeng person, my hometown is occupied by thieves, I really can't see it, it just so happens that I am in Xi'an, I heard the news, and I rushed to report the news, as long as the adults intercept this line of people in the middle of the way, the thieves in Meixian County and Xi'an can not be connected together." ”

The general nodded and asked carefully: "Where are the dozen or so Qin troops you said?" ”

"Calculating the time, it shouldn't have passed the county seat yet, they will definitely not enter the city, and they will definitely go around." ”

The general said: "That's easy, more than a dozen thieves, no problem." He said to the county order: "If you want to go around the city, there are two roads, one in the north of the city and the other in the south of the city. ”

The county commander nodded again and again: "You just have to do all military operations." I'm going to keep the gates of the city closed here, so that they don't let them come in. ”

Several people agreed that Xizuo would be kept in the county government as a hostage to prevent him from falsely reporting the military situation. Then the general took a hundred officers and cavalry, divided into two teams of fifty men each, and laid an ambush on two roads, and when they had gone out of the city, the county commander ordered the gatekeeper to close the gate.

The general has been here for a long time, and the geography is familiar, and he knows that the path in the north is difficult to walk, which is not conducive to riding a horse and galloping, so he asked a deputy general to take fifty people to guard the path, and he himself brought fifty people, and ambushed on the south road, just waiting for Wang Jian and his party to arrive.

There is a yellow-leafed forest on the side of the road, and the general will lie in it, and among the fifty people, there are fifteen archers, just waiting for Wang Jian and others to come, first shoot with bows and arrows, and then suddenly kill.

Wang Jian naturally didn't know this, he took ten Qin soldiers, and quickly rushed to the outside of the city, and looked at it from a distance, the city gate was closed, and a Qin soldier said: "General, why is the city gate closed, it's noon now." ”

Wang Jian thought for a while and said: "It may be that General Bai Qi occupies the three counties of Meixian and Fufeng Wugong, and we occupy Xi'an, and Xingping is caught in the middle and feels the danger, so he is locked up." Leave him alone, we'll bypass the county seat. ”

He looked around, and the south of the city was wide, so he turned his horse and came to the south of the city.

The group of men and horses walked less than five miles, and gradually approached the forest where the officers and troops were ambushed, and the general saw a group of people and horses coming, and the people on the horses were all wearing civilian clothes, and the people at the head looked fierce, and it could be seen from their actions that they were by no means ordinary horse gangs, ordinary people.

The general glanced sideways at the archers beside him and nodded, and the archers drew their arrows, snapped their strings, and prepared to release them.

Wang Jian and his party did not find the ambush, because they really did not expect that someone would reveal their news to the official army.

Seeing that they were already approaching the forest, the general had already raised his hand, and as soon as his hand fell, the arrow would be shot.

But at this time, Wang Jian suddenly stopped.

As soon as he raised his hand, the Qin army behind him also stopped one after another. A Qin soldier said: "General, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Jian stared at the ground with a pair of eyes, where there were countless messy horseshoe prints, Wang Jian had been in battle for a long time, and his mind was meticulous, he took a cursory glance, and he knew that at least dozens of horses had just passed by.

Wang Jian shouted softly: "Everyone is on guard, only then will people pass by." ”

When everyone heard this, they pulled out their hidden swords one after another, and Wang Jian looked at the horseshoe prints on the ground, stretched out to the front, and finally disappeared into a forest.

No need to ask, there is an ambush in the woods.

Wang Jian did not panic, and ordered in a low voice: "There are people and horses in the forest who are ambushing, quickly retreat and find another way." ”

When everyone heard this, they turned their horses and wanted to leave.

At this moment, the general issued an order, and more than a dozen random arrows flew out of the forest and shot at the Qin army.

Wang Jian had already seen it, and he shouted: "Dodge the arrow......"
