Chapter 1186: The situation is becoming clearer
That night, the Qin general Wang Jian ordered the Iron Eagle Army to quietly leave the camp, and with the help of the hazy moonlight, they came to the temporary Wei camp of the Yanling Army not far away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The movement of thousands of Iron Eagle Army members dispatched together was like an earthquake, and of course it could not be hidden from the battle-hardened Yan Ling soldiers.
Before Qu Cheng, the chief general of the Yanling army, gave an order, the non-commissioned officers and generals in the Yanling army each commanded their soldiers to prepare for the night attack of the Qin army.
Soon after, the noise and shouts of killing outside the temporary Wei camp of the Yanling army suddenly started, and the Wei soldiers subconsciously clenched their weapons and prepared for the upcoming night attack.
But the strange thing is that the cavalry of the Qin army did not rain when it thundered, and they shouted outside the Wei army camp for a long time, and they did not see them really attack the Wei camp at night.
Even, after a while, there was no movement to be heard.
The soldiers of the Yanling army held on patiently for a long time, and did not see the Qin army attacking, so they went back to their tents to rest, and the soldiers who were not in the tents continued to nap around the bonfire.
However, after waiting for a while, they suddenly heard the roar of galloping horses outside the camp again, so the Yanling soldiers had to get up again and participate in the deployment.
But as a result, this time the cavalry of the Qin army still thundered and did not rain, as if they were just keen to stir up the Wei army and could not sleep.
"What the hell?"
Even if it was Qu Cheng, the main general of the Yanling Army, he was confused by those Iron Eagle Cavalry.
"Isn't it a tired tactic?" Sun Shuke, the general of the third battalion of the Yanling Army, guessed.
Several Wei generals got together to discuss it, and felt that Sun Shuke's guess was very reasonable.
However, although it is believed that the cavalry of the Qin army is taking a strategy of exhaustion, this does not mean that the generals of the Wei army can rest at ease to let the soldiers rest in peace - what if the cavalry of the Qin army uses the real and the false?
"Let me lead the troops into battle, otherwise, I don't know when Wang Jian's trick will stop." The general of the Dangshan Army, Le Qian, asked Qu Cheng for help.
Although Le Cheng was not a subordinate general under Qu Cheng, according to the rules of the Wei army, in the absence of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and the general Sima An, Qu Cheng, a general with a higher rank than the rest of the generals, should temporarily take over as the commander of the local battlefield.
Facing Le Qian's invitation, Qu Cheng shook his head.
The reason for the refusal is very simple: there are only more than 1,000 Dangshan cavalry under the command of Le Qian, God knows how many Qin cavalry there are outside the camp, in case the meat bun beats the dog and never returns, how will Qu Cheng explain to Sima An in the future?
After hearing Qu Cheng's reason for rejecting Le Qian, the commander of the Horn Army, Ke Lidan, also asked Qu Cheng for help, expressing his willingness to fight with Le Cheng.
It can be seen that in the past two days before the Yan Ling army arrived here, the Qiangjiao cavalry was beaten to the ground by the Qin State Iron Eagle Army, and this commander was holding back the fire in his heart.
But even so, Qu Cheng still refused to send troops, because he couldn't guess what the Qin general Wang Jian wanted to do.
After thinking about it, Qu Cheng smiled and said to the generals: "It's okay, if Wang Jian wants to harass the rest of our soldiers, let him go, Sun Shuke, you add the soldiers who are armed, and order half of the soldiers to keep vigil and half of the soldiers to rest in peace." …… The number of our army is more than that of Wang Jian's army, and he wants to harass our soldiers with the tactics of tired soldiers, but I am afraid that it will backfire. ”
I have to say that Qu Cheng's judgment is very wise, and on the premise of not knowing what the situation outside the camp is, it is indeed the safest to arrange like him.
Anyway, as Qu Cheng said, there are more Wei troops in the vicinity than Wang Jian's army, if Wang Jian insists on letting thousands of Iron Eagle troops harass the Wei army to rest all night, then, according to Qu Cheng's coping strategy, tomorrow the Wei army can still dispatch half of the energetic soldiers, and those Iron Eagle troops under Wang Jian's command may not have the physical strength to fight anymore.
Therefore, for this trick of the Qin general Wang Jian, Qu Cheng did not take it to heart at all.
As Qu Cheng expected, the Iron Eagle Army under Wang Jian's command had been wandering around the periphery of the temporary Wei camp for a long time, making noise at intervals, but when they waited for Yin Shi, the outside of the camp suddenly became quiet, as if those Iron Eagle Army had all run out.
In this regard, Qu Cheng felt inexplicable, and couldn't figure out what the Qin general Wang Jian was crazy about, so he called the Iron Eagle Army to come and harass him a few times in the middle of the night, and finally ran away without doing anything.
And just when Qu Cheng was puzzled, he suddenly heard a report from a corporal under his command, saying that there was a fire in the distance.
Hearing the news, Qu Cheng left the tent and climbed up to look at it, and sure enough, he saw that there was a sky-high fire in the west, and the scale seemed to be not small.
"That's ...... Jianbei military camp? ”
Qu Cheng narrowed his eyes, and after muttering a few words to himself, he suddenly frowned, and said in annoyance, "Damn! Wang Jian ran away! ”
His words made the nearby Wei generals look at each other: How can you conclude that Wang Jian has run away?
However, Qu Cheng didn't mean to explain, and after exhaling a few times in a rather depressed way, he said: "Forget it, anyway, our army has blocked his way back, at most he will escape into Bears Ears Mountain, and wait for the dawn, and then our army will slowly calculate." After that, he turned to Sun Shuke and said, "Remove half of the night watch generals and let them rest in peace, the Qin army should not come again." ”
Sun Shuke also seemed to have guessed something and nodded.
After waiting for two hours, the sky was slightly bright, and the unbelieving Dangshan Army general Le Qian led hundreds of cavalry to leave the camp to investigate, and sure enough, he found that the Jianbei military camp had turned into a ruin, and Wang Jian's Iron Eagle Army and the soldiers and horses of the Lingshan tribe had disappeared.
At this time, Le Qian believed Qu Cheng's previous judgment: last night, the Iron Eagle Army under Wang Jian's command was not for any tired tactics at all, but to cover up the evacuation of the warriors of the Ling tribe in the Jianbei military camp to Bear's Ears Mountain. And when the warriors of the Antelope tribe withdrew to Bears Ears Mountain, there was naturally no need for the Iron Eagle Army to entangle with the Wei army, so they simply left.
After realizing this, both Le Qian and the two captains of the Horned Cavalry felt very sorry for missing this opportunity.
But Qu Cheng didn't see it that way, because he didn't think it was a good opportunity.
After all, the Iron Eagle Army under Wang Jian's command was the elite of the Qin army, and in a fight with this kind of cavalry elite in the case of blind fire, even the Yan Ling army had little chance of winning.
In contrast, he was more inclined to let Wang Jian lead the crowd into Bears Ears Mountain.
Although this move may make the Wei army have to spend more effort to attack and kill Wang Jian's enemy army, on the other hand, the cavalry of the Qin Ling coalition army under Wang Jian is also considered to be useless - Bear's Ears Mountain, is that the home field suitable for cavalry combat?
Mountains and forests, that's the world of infantry!
However, why did Wang Jianjun give up the situation of besieging Sima An for no reason and chose to lead his army to escape into Bears Ears Mountain?
Qu Cheng thought about it, and he could only come to one guess: Qin's plan to besiege and kill Sima An, the general of Wei, had been completely finished.
And what does this mean?
Qu Cheng didn't dare to imagine - could it be that the Qian tribe was destroyed by General Sima An?
At noon on the second day of October, Ji Yan, another battalion general of the Dangshan Army Hunting Cavalry Battalion, with Sima An's order and great good news, led more than 1,000 cavalry of the Dangshan Army to come out of the narrow valley of the sheep intestine and join Qu Cheng's army.
When Ji Yan told Qu Cheng, Sun Shuke and others that the Qian tribe had been destroyed by the general Sima An, the Wei soldiers present gasped.
In the case of being attacked by the enemy on the belly and back, he took the lead in attacking and killed half of the population of the Qian tribe, causing the Qin general Wang Jian to fall into the Wei army and surround it.
Even if it is Qu Cheng, whose status is not much lower than Sima An, he has to sigh sincerely at this moment: He is worthy of General Sima An!
"What instructions does the General have?" After sighing with emotion, Qu Cheng asked Ji Yan politely and humbly.
He was impressed by Sima An.
Although they are both the main generals of the same army, it is obvious that Sima An can take charge alone and turn the tide, while he is still a little short of this level.
Hearing Qu Cheng's inquiry, Ji Yan also said respectfully: "The general is currently sitting in the Yunan Basin Valley and is counting the sheep of the Qian tribe. …… Last night, I saw a sky-high fire on the north side of the stream, and the general guessed that reinforcements must arrive here, so that Wang Jian did not dare to fight the enemy, so he had to retreat into Bear's Ears Mountain, so he ordered me to come and join the reinforcements. ”
As he spoke, Ji Yan told Qu Cheng of Sima An's order.
There are only two things to do, one is to quickly send someone to report the good news to His Royal Highness King Su, so as not to worry His Royal Highness King Su; Second, Qu Cheng was ordered to sit in Lu and Jianbei, and was responsible for killing the army of Wang Jian and the Ling tribe who escaped into Bear's Ears Mountain.
Seeing Qu Cheng's surprised expression, Ji Yan said with a smile: "The general said that the only reinforcement that can make Qin General Wang Jian feel pressure is the Yan Ling army, if it weren't for General Qu himself, it would be General Yan Moyan......"
"The general's words, where is General Sun Shu (Ke) of our army?" Qu Cheng jokingly joked about the words of the general Sun Shuke, which caused the Wei generals on the side to laugh kindly.
However, in the bottom of his heart, Qu Cheng admired Sima An more and more: Sima An is really an excellent commander, no wonder His Royal Highness King Su tried his best to shape this general into a hero.
I have to say that because of Sima An's clever strategy of destroying the Qian tribe and letting the Qin general Wang Jian fall back and encircle, the morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted.
However, what made Qu Cheng feel embarrassed was that he had just received an order from Sima An to prepare to encircle and suppress Wang Jian's forces in Bear's Ears Mountain as the commander of the situation battlefield, but he didn't expect that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, would lead the army back to the Lu clan and Hengjian area.
After learning of this, Qu Cheng and others immediately went to meet Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.
And after hearing that the general Sima An broke the siege on his own, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, was also dumbfounded.
You know, he asked his corporal to rush to the aid of the army, but the result was good, and he couldn't even clean up the battlefield.
"I knew this was the case, and this king was so hard to hurry! …… Forget it, Qu Cheng, you are here to encircle and suppress Wang Jian's army, and this king will return to Hangu. ”
Zhao Hongrun's pretended annoyed words made the generals present laugh.
At this time, the people of the Antelope tribe on Bear's Ears Mountain also noticed that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, led the army back, which made the heart of Actun, the patriarch of the Antelope tribe, sink to the bottom.
did not wait for the reinforcements of the Qin army, but waited for the main army led by Wei Gongzirun, and now there are more than 200,000 Wei troops stationed in the area adjacent to the Bears Ears Mountain in the Nan Basin Valley, the Sheep Intestine Narrow Valley, Hengjian and Lushi, is there a worse situation than this?
After thinking for a while, Acton sent two henchmen to contact the Wei army privately, hoping to get Zhao Hongrun to forgive them at the price of surrendering to the Wei state.
However, after listening to the words of the two Antelope tribesmen, Zhao Hongrun immediately ordered the execution of the two Antelope tribesmen to sacrifice the flag.
Those who go along prosper, and those who go against die! Since he is an enemy of the Wei State, he must be mentally prepared to exterminate the clan.
In today's Sanchuan, Zhao Hongrun no longer needs to win over anyone!
Only left, Liwei!
