Chapter 59: The Fox Hunter

"Really? Do you see the spiritual position of the opponent's commander? The lord of Zhongshan looked at the soldier kneeling on the ground with a little excitement, walked two steps in front of him, and pulled his collar and asked.

"Marked though. Although I didn't see it... Is that person the one I shot, but after glancing at it, the tent was full of captains, and I thought to myself, who else has this qualification except for the main general? ”

"General, what Zhe said is not unreasonable." A general next to him said, "Although he didn't have a chance to see if the other party's main general was lying down, but judging from the specifications, it should be the opponent's main general." ”

The Lord was silent, and wandered around the hall with his hands behind his back. Originally, he arranged for Zhe to be this spy, because of all the people present, it is estimated that only he can estimate the physical characteristics of the person who was hit by the arrow, at least in terms of figure, and only he is the most qualified to make comparisons.

However, Zhao Guoren's vigilance was really too high, or maybe Zhe's acting skills were too inferior, and Zhao Guoren soon discovered the flaw, so that he failed to succeed, and did not finally determine whether the deceased was the chief general of the Zhao army who was shot that day. In this case, for the Zhongshan army, it is tantamount to gambling on whether they should risk attacking the military camp at night.

"By the way, I still remember that on that spiritual seat, there is also the word 'Li'" Zhe said tremblingly, he knew that only by trying to say everything he saw and saw, it was estimated that he could atone for his sins.

"'Lee'? Are you sure? Do you read? The Lord said in confusion.

"I don't know," he said none, and suddenly saw the face of the main general being played, and he hurriedly said, "But when I was fighting, I saw someone pointing to the flag of the other general's banner and saying that the word was the word 'Li'." ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize. In order to be sure, he also asked Zhe to write this word again, although he wrote it crookedly, but this word is indeed a "Li" character. At this moment, no one doubted what Tetsu said.

"General, what are we going to do next?" Although the chief general did not express his position, the thoughts of the other deputy generals were lively, since the main general of the Zhao army was killed, the army's heart must be scattered at this moment, if it is attacked at this moment, it will definitely work. What's more, the Zhongshan people visited the camp just now, and Zhao Jun has already become a frightened bird, and if he attacks at this time, he will definitely receive an unexpected harvest.

"You say, could this be a conspiracy of Zhao Guo?" The Lord will pace back and forth, frowning and expressing his worries, "Even Zhe himself is not sure if he killed this person at a distance of two hundred steps." Now just relying on such an inexplicable spiritual position, can you be sure that the other party has died? ”

When the generals heard this, although they were not convinced, they had nothing to say, after all, he was only the first person in charge of the military.

"I think we'll have to wait. Perhaps..."Just as he was about to finish speaking, he heard a sparse sound of footsteps, and in a daze, a soldier was sweating profusely and stepped forward to report: "General, the Zhao army has withdrawn!" ”

"What? Retreated! ”

"Yes. The small ones patrolled on the city tower and saw the fire dragons in the Zhao army's military camp, thinking that the Zhao army had strengthened the patrol team, but the more they looked at it, the more they felt that it was wrong. Later, our scouts came to report that the Zhao army was retreating, so let's report quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, the crowd stopped listening to him, and rushed straight out of the city lord's mansion and the king's city wall.

Sure enough, from the city wall, the entire Zhao army's military camp seemed to be a mess, with torches everywhere, flames everywhere, and some even deliberately ignited by Zhao Jun. The fire dragons were intertwined, but most of the team was heading towards the northwest, which was the territory of the Zhao Kingdom. If not the withdrawal, what else could it be?

"General, time is running out! Zhao Jun must have received the influence of my camp, and knew that the truth he had concealed was known to us, and he would strengthen the attack, so he retreated one step ahead of schedule. This is a godsend, General! ”

"Yes, General, the Zhao army is in chaos at this time, if our army can pursue in time, I am not afraid that we will not be able to win a big victory, and all kinds of shame we have before can be washed away in a battle. General, don't hesitate any longer."

"Yes, General, let's attack."

"The general can sit in the city, and if he is in the front, he can fight and go down."

"General, let's pursue it."

"General..."

For a while, at the head of the Zhongshan Army, the sound of asking for battle was endless, and he completely forgot the situation just now, and he was still hesitating.

The Lord's heart is even more chaotic at this moment. If you pursue, you may be ambushed, and if you don't pursue, you will be said to have delayed the fighter. These two dilemmas are indeed difficult to choose.

"I ordered the four captains of Qian, Sun, Li, and Mu to each bring their own troops and horses and attack with me. The rest of the people, wait, stay behind! ”

Ou Shangsai to the northwest, need to pass through Huayang, Danqiu to Dai County, of which Huayang and Danqiu, originally the city of Zhongshan, this time to Zhongshan in the south, has been conquered by the Zhao army, become the stronghold of Zhao, this is also the only way for Zhao to attack Zhongshan.

However, in fact, there is a small road, because it winds and circles, and the mountain road is rugged and not taken by ordinary people, so it has been abandoned, but in the eyes of the locals, this small road is actually the closest road from Zhongshan in Zhao State, but it is really not suitable for large armies to march. Otherwise, Zhao would have relied on this path to march on Zhongshan for an attack.

In fact, the Zhongshan master also understands this truth very well, but when you pursue, reason often overwhelms your mind.

It is said that when the Zhongshan army came to cover up, the Zhao army's troops had already withdrawn, and only the main general's personal troops were in charge of the palace. This made the leopards of the Zhongshan Army see their prey, and frantically attacked the pro-soldiers of the Zhao army.

Zhao Jun obviously realized that the Zhongshan army might pursue him, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. Captain Li watched the Zhongshan Army appear in front of him, and while directing the troops to retreat, he arranged for the cavalry troops to intercept them.

The lord of Zhongshan rode on a horse, but he saw it very clearly, just now this Zhao army obviously covered a small group of soldiers to leave, and on the carriage of that group of soldiers, there was a coffin-like thing vaguely, and even on the carriage, there were white spirit flags. This may indicate that the main general of the Zhao army was really killed.

"Stop that wagon anyway." That was his only thought.

"Leave two teams to wipe out this Zhao army, and the others, follow me."

Soon, the Zhongshan army was divided into two parts, one was responsible for encircling and suppressing the Zhongshan soldiers behind the palace, and the other was responsible for pursuit.

The soldiers in charge of extermination did not mention it for the time being, but said that the Zhongshan lord would lead his subordinates to pursue the Zhao army's troops all the way.

It stands to reason that the cavalry of the Zhongshan people, the troops of the Zhao army have cavalry and infantry, and the Zhongshan people should soon be able to pursue and get the corpse of the main general of the Zhao army that he dreamed of. However, the most important point he overlooked was the right time and place.

The Taihang Mountain Road is already rugged and difficult to travel, and the so-called key roads are also small roads where horses cannot be parallel and cars cannot be on the same track, so the cavalry cannot be said to be of little role in this kind of place, but its mobility will still be affected.

The most important thing is that although the time has passed, the autumn night is long, and the ugly time has just arrived, which is the deepest time of the night. At this time, it is indeed not easy to pursue the enemy army.

However, the Zhao army is also not much better, the same stumbles, the two armies engage in battle from time to time, and from time to time separate, chasing and stopping, even if there are torches to guide the way, it is also distressing.

Suddenly, the Zhongshan Lord found a problem and suddenly drank: "Stop!" Stop! "The Zhongshan people are in full pursuit, and it takes a little time to stop abruptly at this moment. But fortunately, Zhongshan people are also forbidden.

"General, what's wrong?" A lieutenant rode to the main general on horseback and couldn't help asking, "The Zhao army is in front, not pursuing, but the tiger is going to return to the mountain." ”

"Shut up, wait and see." The Lord will scold, and between the words, there is a slight trill.

The lieutenant looked around at this time, and after a while, he slowly said, "How... How did you get here? Could it be that ..."

There was silence all around, except for the crackling of torches and the cries of chirping insects around them. The wind whistled by, and I don't know where it was, there was a faint sound of mockery, as if mocking the ignorance of these people.

"General, what are we going to do?"

The Lord of Zhongshan was just about to answer, only to hear the sound of gongs and drums around him, the fire dragon soared into the sky, and the road that was as silent as death just now suddenly became as bright as day. I don't know where it came from, thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly poured out, and there were many more archers on the mountain beams on both sides.

The Zhongshan soldiers looked around, and finally focused their eyes on a large banner with the word "Zhao" written on it, because they knew that the person who could decide their life and death was on that flag.

"Dare to ask who is the commander of Zhao Jun?" The general of Zhongshan knew that at this time, all the evasions could no longer solve the problem, and as a general, he could not even give up his dignity at this time.

Suddenly, under the banner of the word "Zhao", Zhao Jun got out of the way, and an old handsome man in armor appeared in front of everyone in good spirits. There was a slight contempt in his eyes, as if they didn't exist.

"Dare to ask the general's name?"

"Don't dare. Zhao Guodai County Camp Coach, Zhao Xi. Zhao Xi stroked his beard and responded word by word.

"That's not right." The Zhongshan people said, "The chief general of the Zhao army, isn't his surname Li?" "Li Yan has led his troops to attack Yushangsai for so long, if he doesn't even know what his surname is, he will be too wasteful as a coach.

"Huh. General Li was the commander of our army, and he was ordered to attack the fortress. But I was injured a few days ago, and I have been sent to Huayang overnight to recuperate! ”

"What, I left overnight, so how many days...?"

"These days, it's just a monkey." Zhao Xi said contemptuously.

Zhongshan people may never have imagined that although Li Yan was not injured to death, it was indeed very serious. Overnight, under the escort of the general, he was sent to Huayang to recuperate. At the same time, Zhao Xi also came to the front line from the rear overnight and commanded the troops to retreat.

It's just that the old man is scheming, guessing that Zhongshan people probably want to know Li Yan's life and death, so they put on such a ** array, true or false, and even did not hesitate to play a good show of Li Yan's real death. After the Zhongshan people visited the camp, they commanded the troops to retreat overnight, but in fact, the main force was ambushed here and caught turtles in the urn.

If you really answer that sentence, no matter how cunning you fox is, you can't fight the old hunter!
