Chapter 1178: Dereliction of duty

"Marquis Qin Wuxin died here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info』

When he saw this Wei Yan engraved on the tree, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi was like a lightning strike, and the whole person trembled.

It's not that he is cowardly and greedy, but he realized in an instant that he and that Wei Gongzi Ji Run thought of going together - he put the hope of breaking the Wei army on the matter of pursuing the Wei army again after being ambushed, and Wei Gongzi Ji Run set up an ambush precisely for this.

It can be seen that Ji Run, the son of Wei, is a military strategy that is not inferior to his generals.

"Underestimate the enemy......

With a secret voice in his heart, Wuxin Hou Gongsun immediately shouted loudly: "Withdraw the army!" Withdrawal! ”

However, at this time, the ambush soldiers of the Wei army had launched a crossbow arrow sneak attack on the Qin army, in the dim environment, I couldn't see how many people there were in the Wei army, only heard the shouting and killing sound of the Wei army in this area, and countless Qin soldiers fell into panic, and were hit by the crossbow arrows one after another, and fell to the ground and died.

"Protect the boss!"

"Protect Shaojun!"

A loyal Qin soldier, regardless of his own safety, carried a shield to protect the Marquis of Wuxin, Sun Qi and Qin Shaojun, and protected these two to retreat first.

At the same time, the Qin soldiers also reversed the ranks, the front team became the rear team, and the rear team followed the front team, and decisively withdrew from this area.

Seeing this, the Wei soldiers jumped out of the ambush point one after another, intending to chase and annihilate the Qin army, and even more, a group of Wei cavalry appeared on the trail, led by a general, holding a war knife and rushing into the Qin army, as if entering a no-man's land.

In this case, even if the Qin army was brave and brave, the fighting spirit was almost zero, and without making any counterattack, they fled from the Chang Hao Mountain Trail in a hurry.

It can be seen that it may be due to the "Hangu One Day Battle" the year before last, even if it is a brave Qin soldier, he is also trembling when facing the Wei army, especially the other party is still the "Shang Water Army", one of the two elites under the command of Wei Gongzi Ji Run, who defeated him back then.

After fully pursuing the two places, the Wei army stopped the pursuit, and Wu Ji, the commander of the Shang Shui army, shook off the blood on his sword and announced that the whole army had turned back and returned to the large team of His Royal Highness King Su.

At this time, the deputy general of the Shang Shui Army, Nanmen Chi, came on horseback and said to Wu Ji with a smile: "Don't chase anymore?" ”

Wu Ji said calmly: "Just drive away the Qin army that is trailing, there is no point in chasing for a long time." …… Anyway, I can't take Hangu by the wayside, so I'll take it when I see it. ”

"That's right." Nanmen Chi nodded, and then said with a smile: "In other words, that Qin Shuai is really cunning and treacherous, now that I think about it, he knew that our army would set up an ambush, and deliberately hit the first ambush, so as to reduce the defense of our army and facilitate him to lead the troops to pursue again...... It's a pity that His Royal Highness King Su is looking for a higher level. ”

Hearing this, Wu Ji also had a smile on his face, as if Nanmen Chi was not praising a certain His Royal Highness King Su but him.

It's no wonder, after all, Wu Ji has great respect for King Su Zhao Hongrun.

"Before that Qin Shuai comes to his senses, let's retreat too." Wu Ji said with a smile.

"Hmm." Nanmen Chi nodded.

As a result, while the 20,000 Qin troops fled from the Changhao Mountain Trail in a hurry, the Wei army, which had been left to ambush the Qin army, also withdrew south in an orderly manner, preparing to catch up with the large army of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

Let's not talk about the withdrawal of Wu Ji and others for the time being, let's talk about the Qin army.

I have to say that he was ambushed by the Wei army twice today, which made the commander of the Qin army and the Marquis of Wuxin, Gongsun Qi, who had been in Rong Ma for half his life, tremble, and he couldn't remember how long he hadn't panicked like today.

The 20,000 Qin soldiers under his command fled the Chang Hao Mountain trail, and the Marquis of Wuxin, Gongsun Qi reined in the horse's reins, looked back at the dark direction of the Chang Hao Mountain trail, and found that the Wei army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and sighed in his heart.

He realized that he had been deceived.

Don't look at the ambush of the Wei army just now, it seems to be huge, and even, that Wei Gongzi deliberately left the astonishing words of "Qin Wuxin Hou died here", which made Wuxin Marquis Gongsun a little frightened at the time, but from the fact that the Wei army's ambush did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, it can be seen that the Wei army's ambush is thunder and rain, to put it bluntly, it is used to scare them Qin army, and there may not be too many troops in fact.

Thinking about it carefully, the current top priority of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, is to return to the Lu family, ensure the grain and grass transportation line from Ruocheng to the Wei camp in Jianbei, and ensure that the general Sima An under his command will not be attacked from both sides by the Qian tribe, the Ling tribe and the Qin general Wang Jian.

Although it is said that taking the opportunity to pursue can indeed annihilate many Qin troops, but in the same way, it will also delay the major event of supporting the general Sima An, between "eliminating the Qin soldiers" and "aiding the national general Sima An", Zhao Hongrun will naturally choose the latter.

After figuring out this layer, Wuxin Marquis Gongsun felt a little ashamed of his panic.

He had to admit that he was frightened by the sentence engraved on the trunk of the tree, "Marquis Qin Wuxin died here".

"The talent of the heavens......"

Looking up at the night sky full of stars, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi sighed with emotion.

Although he is now in the prime of life, he can't help but feel emotional when he encounters a young and strong opponent like Wei Gongzi Ji Run.

"Wuxin Marquis ......"

Next to him, Qin Shaojun's uneasy greeting came.

Wuxin Hou Gongsun turned his head to look at Qin Shaojun, and he found that Qin Shaojun, under the protection of his guard chief Peng Chong, was not injured in the chaos of Fang Cai, but it was undeniable that this young monarch was disgraced at the moment, and he was really a little embarrassed.

"Shaojun, I have been disgraced by Daqin."

Gongsun Qi said ashamedly.

"Marquis Wuxin has said it." Qin Shaojun waved his hand, but he didn't know what to say next.

To be exact, he still doesn't know exactly what happened - it is clear that the strategy of 'second pursuit of the Wei army' proposed by the Marquis of Wu Xin in front of him is extremely clever, how can the Wei army still reserve ambush troops?

"Could it be that that person is even more powerful than this Wuxin Marquis of my Great Qin?"

Qin Shaojun couldn't help but think of his former friend, Wei Gongzi Ji Run.

"Marquis Wuxin, in the end...... What the hell is going on? Qin Shaojun couldn't help but ask, he felt that his defeat was a little inexplicable.

Hearing this, Wuxin Hou Gongsun shook his head with a wry smile.

In all fairness, all the previous actions of Wei Gongzi Ji Run, including the information he deliberately left to him, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi was well aware, but he must admit that the fact that the Wei army set up two ambushes was really amazing - it was the second ambush deliberately set up by Wei Gongzi Ji Run when he guessed that his Gongsun Qi would pursue the Wei army for the second time.

In other words, the second ambush was specially set up for his grandson Wuxin Hou.

If it was an ordinary Qin general, after being ambushed by the first Wei army, he would not chase again, but Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi went the opposite way, aiming at the opportunity to pursue the Wei army again after being ambushed by the Wei army, but unfortunately, he ran headlong into the trap specially reserved for him by Ji Run, the prince of Wei.

It is precisely in this way that Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, will be fortunate enough to see the tree engraved with 'Marquis Wuxin of Qin died here'.

If Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi had given up the second pursuit of the Wei army at that time, perhaps the Wei general Wu Ji, who was in charge of the second ambush, would have crossed out the words engraved on the tree after waiting for a while, and quietly evacuated with the Wei army in ambush.

"It's a slight enemy."

Facing Qin Shaojun's inquiry, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi smiled bitterly and sighed.

At this time, he regretted a lot in his heart: if he had known earlier that Wei Gongzirun was not inferior to his general, then he would never let the deputy general Wang Jianbing take a dangerous move to attack Yishan.

No, right now, Wei Gongzi Ji Run has seen through the conspiracy of Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi, which has made the latter fall into passivity.

Just like this pursuit, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi must pursue, he must delay the speed of Wei Gongzi Ji Run's return to the Lu clan as much as possible, so that the Qin army general Wang Jian can follow the plan, unite the Ling tribe to capture the Lu clan, cut off the back road of the Wei general Sima An, and then unite the Qian tribe to launch a two-sided attack on the Wei general Sima An, and complete the initial strategy of the Qin army.

If he didn't pursue and didn't want to try to drag down Ji Run, the prince of Wei, then, when the latter led the army back to Lu, he would order the Wei army to encircle and annihilate the general of the Qin army, Wang Jian, and the thousands of Iron Eagle troops under his command, so that the Qin State would lose a general's talent and thousands of elite cavalry.

Zhao Hongrun also knew this, he knew very well that Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi would definitely send troops to pursue, so he set up the first ambush.

As for being ambushed by the first Wei army, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi also expected it, but he had already aimed at the gap where the Wei army relaxed its vigilance after repelling his Qin army, and was ready to pursue the Wei army again, but he didn't expect that Ji Run, the prince of Wei, would even count this layer and set up the second ambush, so that he sacrificed a lot of soldiers and horses in vain.

In his opinion, the person who can cautiously set up a second ambush in this situation, looking at the size of the world, I am afraid there will not be more than ten people, and Wei Gongzi Ji Run is among them at a young age, which makes Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi in the prime of life can't help but feel that he is old.

After listening to the story of Marquis Wuxin's grandson, Qin Shaojun endured the surprise in his heart and asked in a low voice, "Marquis Wuxin, what should I do next?" Do you still want to pursue the Wei army? ”

Hearing this, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi raised his head and glanced at the direction of the dark path on the west side of Chang Hao Mountain.

By now, he was not very sure about the 'eradication of the Wei general Sima An', after all, he had just realized that there was also a commander in the Wei army who was not inferior to him, and he had already seen through his intentions.

"Withdraw Hanya."

Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi said calmly.

Hearing this, Qin Shaojun's face showed a look of horror: Withdraw to Hangu? Wouldn't that mean giving up General Wang Jian and the thousands of Iron Eagle Army?

Probably guessing the horror in Qin Shaojun's heart, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi said in a deep voice: "It was my mistake to let General Wang Jian carry out the dangerous trick of pinning Sima An without knowing that Wei Gongzirun...... Such a conspiracy is easy for ordinary people, but for an opponent like Wei Gongzirun, he took the initiative to hand over the handle to the other party. …… For the sake of today's plan, our army should hold the Hangu Valley firmly and delay the battle as much as possible, Your Royal Highness Shaojun, you must know that the Wei army is far more anxious than my Great Qin to end this battle as soon as possible. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Drag! Dragged to the danger of the Wei country, dragged to the rest of the battlefields of the Wei Gongzi Run, the side has a chance to win. ”

While saying this, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi couldn't help but sigh again.

He knew that the only way to deal with an opponent like Wei Gongzirun was to use a yang scheme, but without knowing the details of the other party, he asked his general Wang Jian to make a conspiracy to plot against Sima An, which meant that his Qin army fell to a disadvantage.

Of course, it's not too late, he Qin Jun can still redeem the disadvantage.

But the premise is that General Wang Jian and his thousands of Iron Eagle Army under his command can't help the Marquis of Wuxin.

It cannot be denied that this is a dereliction of duty on his part as a manager.
