Chapter 1177: Gambling

Facts have proved that Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi guessed extremely accurately, and at the hour before dusk that day, that is, around the time of Shen, the Wei army on the flat ground outside Hangu had already packed up and was slowly heading towards the path on the west side of Changhui Mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The migration of nearly 100,000 Wei troops was mighty, like a black tide, connecting the heavens and the earth.

In order to prevent the Hangu Qin army from suddenly attacking, the cavalry of the Shangshui Army and the Sichuan-Yu Coalition Army lined up on both sides to guard the withdrawal of friendly forces.

Then, the Shang and Shui armies began to retreat one after another, and then the cavalry of the Sichuan-Yu coalition army, the evacuation of the various units of the Wei army, in a neat and orderly manner, without any confusion.

On Hanshan, the commander of the Qin army, Marquis Gongsun Qi of Wuxin, quietly watched the evacuation of the Wei army, his brows furrowed.

Once again, he expected that the Wei army was evacuating in such a high-profile manner, which was clearly conveying a message to him: Hey, we are going to withdraw to the Lu clan, do you dare to chase after it?

"There must be an ambush here......

Gongsun turned his head to look at the west side of Chang Hao Mountain.

He didn't have to think about it to know that when Ji Run, the prince of Wei, led the army to withdraw to the Lu clan, he would definitely ambush his troops and horses on the west mountain of Chang Hao Mountain, waiting for him to suddenly kill when the Qin army pursued.

Of course, it is also possible that the prince of Wei bluffed and deliberately put on a high-profile posture of withdrawing his troops, so that his grandson thought that he would set up an ambush halfway, but in fact he did not ......

It's a psychological game.

『…… Even if the Wei army sets up an ambush, it will send troops to pursue it no matter what."

Looking at the wanton evacuation of the Wei army, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi secretly thought.

There is no way, because after Ji Run, the prince of Wei, noticed the real target of the Qin general Wang Jian's army, Wang Jian's army had already fallen into the encirclement network of the Wei army, if his Gongsun Qi still did not move, then the general Wang Jian and the thousands of Iron Eagle Army under his command were bound to be encircled and wiped out by the Wei army, so that the Qin State lost a general and thousands of elite soldiers.

Thinking of this, Wuxin Hou Gongsun commanded in a deep voice: "Pass the order and send troops to pursue the Wei army!" ”

Hearing this, on the side, the deputy general Wang Yi clasped his fists and said: "Lord Boss, the last general can lead the army to pursue, why should the boss go in person?" ”

Wuxin Hou Gongsun glanced at Wang Di, and finally shook his head, it's not that he can't trust Wang Di, he can only say that he doesn't think that Wang Di will be the opponent of Wei Gongzi.

Under the premise that Wang Jian had not yet arrived in Yichuan, that Wei Gongzi could anticipate the enemy in advance, and he could actually guess in advance that Wang Jian would attack Yichuan first and then attack the Lu family, so he immediately withdrew the Lu family.

Wei Gongzi Ji Run, that is not inferior to his grandson Qi Wei army commander.

"Needless to say, I personally lead the way. …… Wang Di, you guard the camp. Gongsun Qi commanded.

"Obey." Wang Yi had no choice but to nod and accept the order.

But then again, although Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi could order Wang Di, he couldn't categorically refuse Qin Shaojun, who wanted to go with him.

He could only persuade Qin Shaojun: "Shaojun, this time he led the army to pursue the Wei army, or he will be ambushed by the Wei army. ”

But it's a pity that despite the persuasion of Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi, Qin Shaojun didn't mean to listen, maybe he also wanted to see which of his Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi of Qin State and Wei Gongzi Ji Run, these two far-sighted commanders, were superior in wisdom and strategy.

In desperation, Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi had no choice but to agree to Qin Shaojun's request and take him with him to pursue the Wei army.

"Is Wu Xinhou sure? Yu said that the pursuit of the Wei army ......"

On the way, Qin Shaojun asked Gongsun Qidao.

Wuxin Hou Gongsun shook his head and said nothing, while driving the war horse under his crotch forward, he lowered his head thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Qin Shaojun didn't want to ask any more questions.

Because Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi had already learned through the "message of the Wei army" that the Wei army was about to withdraw, and had already made preparations after that, the rear army of the Wei army was actually not far from the Qin army, only three or five miles away.

Therefore, the Marquis of Wuxin, Gongsun Qi, sent out to bite the front army of the Wei army, an iron eagle army of about 2,000 people, did not spend much effort to catch up with the army behind the Wei army.

But it's a pity that the army behind the Wei army is a cavalry of the Qing Sheep tribe of the Wei people, and the general who leads the army is Zhao Hongrun's brother-in-law and the young patriarch of the Qingyang tribe of the Qing Sheep tribe.

It is true that the Iron Eagle Army is a cavalry, but the cavalry of the Iron Eagle Army led by Wu Wu is even more skilled in arching and horses, at least in the long-distance bow and arrow battle, the Iron Eagle Army almost suppressed the Iron Eagle Army, so that the Iron Eagle Army did not dare to get too close.

"Sure enough, as His Royal Highness King Su expected, the Qin army really tried to pursue our army when it withdrew. Merely...... Why did Qin Jun feel fearful?"

Commanding the Qiang tribe to suppress the Iron Eagle Army in the distance with bows and arrows, Wu Wu secretly wondered in his heart.

He felt that the Qin army was quite conservative when pursuing them, whether it was the Iron Eagle cavalry or the regular army of the Qin State.

Yes, there is no black-faced army, because of the fear that the black-faced army, which has no military discipline to speak of, will make a mistake at such a critical time, Wuxin Hou Gongsun did not bring the black-faced army when he pursued the Wei army this time, and all he brought was the regular army of Qin.

Finally, the Iron Eagle cavalry seemed to have made up their minds, and rushed forward with their horses.

The cavalry of the Qiang tribe led by Wu Wu did not show weakness, and the two cavalry rushed back to each other, either shooting with bows and crossbows, or using short swords to meet each other, and each suffered a sacrifice.

But on the whole, the losses in troops were not serious.

In Wu Wu's opinion, it seems that the cavalry of the Qin army has reservations - the other party seems to be afraid of something.

No, when the Wei army withdrew into the trail on the west side of Changhao Mountain, the Iron Eagle Army stopped and continued to advance, staying where it was, waiting for orders from the rear.

"That's accurate......

In the main force of the Qin army, Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi glanced up at the sky and saw that the sun was slowly setting.

This meant that when his army pursued the Wei army into the trail on the west side of Changhui Mountain, the sky would become darker and darker, and it would be less difficult for his Qin army to spot the Wei soldiers lying in ambush on both sides of the trail - if the Wei army did set up an ambush.

At the same time, in the middle army of the Wei army, Zhao Hongrun had just received a report from the rear army.

"Report! The Qingyang Department of the rear army was pursued by the cavalry of the Qin army. ”

"Report! The rear of our army probed the Qin army, with about 20,000 people and about 5,000 cavalry. ”

After listening to the repeated reports of the green crows, Zhao Hongrun's face was not shocked, but he just glanced back and glanced at it lightly.

"How dare you chase it...... I told you that when I have guessed the intentions of your army, I won't guess that I will set up an ambush when I withdraw the army, right? …… Or do you think you're taking advantage of something?'

With a light snort, Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and ordered indifferently: "Continue on your way!" ”

At this time, Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi had led more than 20,000 Qin troops to chase into the trail on the west side of Changhui Mountain.

With Mount Chang Hao on one side and a nearly dry river on the other, and the lush vegetation and overgrown weeds, this trail is a perfect place for ambushes in the words of soldiers.

Because of this, Qin Shaojun rode on this trail, feeling his heart beating, for fear that a Wei army would suddenly come out from both sides.

But for some reason, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi's expression was very calm.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly there was a loud shout of killing in front, and the Iron Eagle Army, which was chasing the Wei army in front, seemed to be in chaos.

"Sure enough, there are ambushes!"

Wuxin Hou Gongsun opened his eyes.

At this time, on both sides of the trail not far in front of them, countless Wei troops suddenly appeared, holding bows and crossbows to release arrows, causing more than 100 people in the Iron Eagle Army to fall from their horses in an instant.

"Kill ——!" With the roar of the Wei general's south gate, the Wei infantry who were ambushed on both sides of the trail came out one after another.

Because the Qin army was almost on guard, they were immediately defeated.

Seeing this, Wuxin Hou Gongsun immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, and ordered the army under his command to change from the front army to the rear army, and the rear army to the front army, and decisively evacuate.

After waiting for the army to withdraw from Chang Hao Mountain, Qin Shaojun looked at Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi in disbelief.

You must know that Gongsun of Wuxin Marquis had already guessed that the Wei army would set up an ambush when the army withdrew, and it was hard to imagine that this far-sighted commander would actually fall into the Wei army's ambush.

Thinking of this, Qin Shaojun asked in a puzzled low voice, "Lord Gongsun, why do you still chase after you knowing that the Wei army will set up an ambush?" ”

Hearing this, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi smiled faintly: "Although I expected it, I can't be sure, if Wei Gongzi Ji Run is just bluffing, wouldn't he miss the fighter?" ”

"Then now it can be proved that Ji Run is still very cautious." Qin Shaojun said with a slight frown.

"yes." Wuxin Hou Gongsun nodded, and said in a low voice: "He is so cautious, he will definitely beware of our army's pursuit when withdrawing the army, and now our army has been ambushed by him, in other words, now is the time when his precautions are the lowest......" After that, he ordered to the left and right: "Pass the order, and the whole army will enter Changhui Mountain again and pursue the Wei army!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Shaojun had a shocked expression on his face.

As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Gongsun of Wuxin Hou stroked his beard and said: "If what I expected is correct, the Wei army will see that our army has repelled our army, and at this moment it will definitely rush towards the Lu clan, if our army pursues and kills again, it will definitely win!" ”

Qin Shaojun was stunned when he heard this, and when he came to his senses, he looked at Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi in shock: It turned out that he had expected all this!

As a result, the Qin army turned back again and chased into the trail on the west side of Changhui Mountain.

It may be that the Wei army is speeding towards the Lu clan at an accelerated speed, as Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi said, so that the path in front of the Qin army is very silent.

This made Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi even more convinced of his judgment.

"Chase!" He gave the order.

After chasing for about two miles, Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, suddenly received a report from the soldiers, saying that there was a strange tree in front of him.

So he moved forward and followed the soldier's instructions to find the tree.

Actually, the tree is not strange, but it has a torch stuck in its trunk.

However, when the horse got closer, the grandson of the Marquis of Wuxin found that the skin of the trunk of the tree had been scraped off, and someone had carved a line of Wei characters on it.

"Marquis Qin Wuxin died here!"

"......" saw the Wei characters on the trunk, and the face of the Marquis of Wuxin changed greatly.

And at this moment, the voices of countless Wei soldiers rushed out on both sides of the trail, holding bows and crossbows, and fired thousands of arrows at the Qin army on the trail.
