Chapter 32: Ambush
After four nights of travel, and after paying hundreds of lives, Zhao Kuo and his personal guards were finally about to arrive at their intended location.
This is the only exit in the middle of Hanwang Mountain, which is located in the middle of Changping Pass to Danshui, and it is a good choice to choose this place as the location for the sneak attack on the Qin army.
The hurried road for several days made Zhao Kuo's troops a little exhausted, and he finally gave up the plan to go out day and night, and treated this surprise attack in the best condition after repairing for a day.
After a day of recuperation and recuperation, the guards once again embarked on the journey of advancement. Zhao Kuo sat in the middle of the Chinese army and thought about how to capture Bai Qi alive.
At this moment, the entire force suddenly stopped. Zhao Kuo, who came back from his thoughts, frowned and called Fuji over: "Fuji But, go and see why you suddenly stopped in this place?" ”
Before Fuji went to the front to call the scout who led the way, they had already hurried over: "General, general, my subordinates feel that there are ambushes ahead, please go and take a look." ”
Before Zhao Kuo could speak, Lin Yi behind him spoke: "How is it possible, you two don't be alarmist." Our troops have been out day and night, could it be that the Qin people can already predict our journey? ”
Zhao Kuo waved his hand to tell Lin Yi to shut up, at this time, you must be cautious at all times, if there is really an ambush of the Qin State, then these people may not be wiped out before they encounter Bai Qi.
"You two lead the way, and I'll go over with you to have a look."
The two scouts glanced at each other, filled with gratitude for the trust in the commander. They also knew that the soldiers were fast, and immediately took Zhao Kuo to the front of the troops.
Zhao Kuo just glanced at the woods on both sides of the trail in the distance, and felt that the situation was very wrong, so he immediately made a decision and immediately said: "Notify it, let everyone enter the woods next to it immediately, hide it immediately, and go quickly!" ”
Following Zhao Kuo's order, the entire army immediately moved and quickly hid in the woods next to it.
One of the scouts looked surprised and said strangely, "Does the general conclude that there will be an ambush in the distance just by glancing at the distance?" ”
Zhao Kuo is now not sure if the Qin State ambush soldiers in the distance have discovered their troops, he just doesn't understand what Qin State will set up an ambush here, could it be said that there are Qin State details hidden in his army?
"You two are doing a good job, if it weren't for the two of you, I'm afraid we would have fallen into the trap of the Qin State by now, and we deserve to be the elite of a hundred battles!"
"General, the two of us are willing to go there and find out how many troops there are in the Qin State."
Zhao Kuo heard the confident words of the two, but it aroused his curiosity: "Just the two of you? So where did you get the confidence to observe the Qin army and retreat with all your body? ”
One of the scouts looked confident and said with a smile: "Don't worry, General, the woods are a natural barrier for the two of us, and in this woods, no matter how powerful the other party is, they won't easily spot us." ”
Zhao Kuo gave them a thumbs up, since they had this kind of confidence, what would it matter if they let them take a look: "Okay, you two go and go back quickly, but be careful, you must come back safely, understand?" ”
"No!"
Zhao Kuo looked at the figures of the two of them flickering in the woods, and felt like he had won a jackpot, with the help of these two people, he could at least formulate a strategy against the ambush.
Lin Yi saw Zhao Kuo walking back, and hurriedly ran to his side: "General, is there really an ambush in the distance?" ”
"Well, I'm afraid so."
"The general just followed the two of them to take a look, how can he determine that there are enemy troops in the distance?"
Zhao Kuo pointed to the birds that kept circling on his head, and said with a smile: "Just look at the top of your head." ”
Who knew that Lin Yi looked at the sky blankly, and didn't understand what Zhao Kuo was referring to.
Zhao Kuo hated that iron could not be made of steel, and knocked Lin Yi's shoulder with the hilt of his sword, and explained to him: "Birds are the most alert animals, and no wind or grass can escape their perception. If you look at the trees on both sides of the trail in the distance, the birds have left the woods where they usually roost and hovered in the air. ”
Lin Yi suddenly realized, he glanced at the bird above his head, and said blankly: "Then we hid in the woods, didn't the other party also find out that we were hiding here?" ”
Zhao Kuo sighed, and leaned on the tree behind him a little tiredly: "Even if it is discovered, it is better than burrowing into someone's pocket without knowing anything." ”
"I'm worried that these ambushed Qin troops have discovered our traces, and sent heralds to inform the Qin army in Changping Pass, and then our surprise attack plan will become a joke." Lin Yi said the worry in his heart, could it be that their hard work for days was in vain?
Even so, Zhao Kuo didn't have any way, he had already left the distracting thoughts in his heart behind: "For today's plan, I have to wait for the two scouts to discuss and find out the situation clearly, let's fight quickly, kill all the other party here, and do our best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”
The two scouts didn't let Zhao Kuo wait long, and quickly returned to the place where Zhao Jun was hiding.
Zhao Kuo immediately called the two over and asked urgently, "How is it, how is it ahead?" ”
The scout took a few breaths, and then answered Zhao Kuo's question: "General, the Qin army on both sides is only about 20,000, and they are waiting in the woods on both sides, but the other party still thinks that they have not noticed our whereabouts, I think we can outflank them along the jungle and kill them here." ”
After listening to the scout's report, Zhao Kuo was honestly relieved. As long as the other side does not discover the whereabouts of his troops, then there is room for recovery.
"Yes, you two will lead the way immediately, and our soldiers will divide into two ways and solve the ambush of the other side easily."
"No!"
"Lin Yi, you take all the way to the woods where the Qin State ambushed the soldiers on the other side, remember not to have any fish that slip through the net, understand?"
"The last general understands, general, please please!"
"Okay, let's do it now."
The Zhao army quickly divided into two parts, led by Zhao Kuo and Lin Yi respectively, and under the guidance of the scouts in front, they quietly touched the ambush soldiers of the Qin State in the woods.
At this time, the troops of the Qin State were closely watching the direction of the path, and they would never have thought that there were enemy troops approaching them in their rear.
Zhao Kuo led the troops to a distance of only half a mile from the Qin State ambush, and seeing that the Qin State soldiers completely ignored their rear, he immediately issued an order to attack.
