Upper Gun is mountainous.

The river turned from Tokto and went all the way south, and the raging river finally turned back here, though so reluctantly, and carved a great road from between the mountains. Carrying the mud and sand, rushed south. It is these rocks that make the rivers bow their heads that create the mountainous features of the upper gun. To be honest, such terrain was very difficult for cavalry.

However, Li Zhuo has no other way, because Xu Yuan's idea is very bold, and it can be said that it is beyond Li Zhuo. Because of Xu Yuan's destination, the name has only two words: Yuzhong.

Yuzhong, located in the southwest of Shimao, is the northernmost big city of the Qin State and the largest city from the North Great Wall of the Qin State, and its scale is of course larger than that of Shimao. Xu Yuan's meaning was naturally not to attack Yuzhong, otherwise he would be a madman, but to lead the troops to the Yuzhong area, and from there to find a suitable pass to escape from Shangjun, and give up the plan to go north nearby.

Li Zhuo can analyze Xu Yuan's thoughts, according to the speed of the Zhao army's crossing of the river, I am afraid that before the crossing of the river is completed, it will be discovered by the Qin people, so as to completely annihilate his own half-crossed enemy. Now that it has been exposed, why not just appear in front of the enemy army to attract the attention of the other party, and buy more time for the main force to cross the river? But at this moment, if you lead your troops to the north again, it is no different from throwing yourself into a net, it is a good choice to jump out of the opponent's encirclement and run to the direction of Yuzhong. What's more, although it is also an important place for the Qin State, the defense must not be strict at this moment, and six thousand cavalry suddenly appeared in the hinterland of the other party, disrupting the opponent's deployment in a hurry, maybe there will be a glimmer of life.

And coincidentally, if you want to run to Yuzhong, the largest city in the middle is Shimao, and only by bypassing Shimao can you continue to go south. All his soldiers are cavalry, if he attacks Shimao, I am afraid that he will not only be dragged by the other party, but he will not conquer Shimao for a while, and if he does not attack, Shimao's Qin army will definitely follow him. And the hilly terrain has slowed down the speed that the cavalry is proud of, and it is inevitable that the Shimao defenders will be transferred away before they can be put into action.

"General, the Qin army behind is coming up."

Li Zhuo glanced back, and he could indeed vaguely see the fire, which was the vanguard of the Qin army, and it was also cavalry. "Let them chase for a while, pass the order, and no one is allowed to fight back against the Qin army."

"What if they catch up with us?"

Li Zhuo looked back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, before they catch up with us, the Qin army will take the initiative to retreat." ”

"What about the general's joke? The Qin army chased us so happily, how could we retreat so easily? "These soldiers were very familiar with Li Zhuo in the Baijin Camp, and now when they talk, they naturally seem very casual. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Baijin Battalion, no matter how many generals have been replaced, the highest position is the deputy officer of the Baijin Battalion, because the top general of the Baijin Battalion is only King Zhao.

Wei Zhang looked at Zhao Jun not far ahead, and the more he chased, the more worried he became. The mountain road is rugged, and the other party is cavalry, so it is very strange to say that there is no conspiracy to run into the mountain road. However, there are cliffs on both sides, flat and smooth, not suitable for hiding troops, and most importantly, the other party is not familiar with Shangjun, and it is difficult to organize an effective ambush for a while, so what is the purpose of the other party's generals?

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he reined in his horse and shouted, "Turn back quickly!" Fast! ”

Seeing that the commander was so panicked, the herald forgot to pass on the order for a while, Wei Zhang whipped it over, and he immediately came back to his senses to pass the order. But tell the marching troops that it is absolutely impossible to stop the advancing queue at once, and when they completely stop, they will already be able to see the banner of the Zhao army.

"Have you finally withdrawn your troops? How can it be so easy! Li Zhuo said with a smile, and quickly ordered all the troops to stop advancing, and the rear army became the front army, pursuing the retreating Qin army. For a while, the two sides of the chase just now changed, Zhao Jun changed from a prey to a hunter, and for Wei Zhang, he seemed to be determined to win. It's just that all of this seems a little too naïve.

"Bastard, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is really not ordinary, they can't catch up with us, and it's not easy for us to catch up with them." Li Zhuo muttered to himself hatefully.

In fact, judging from the combat ability and combat quality of the two, they can quickly adapt to this kind of marching change, which depends on the strict discipline of the two armies, if there is one difference, that is, the Baijin Battalion is a professional unit built by Zhao Yong after all, and it can ensure higher combat effectiveness when this kind of army marches in the transformation. But after all, the hills are blocked, the roads are narrow, all the combat effectiveness, the endurance and speed of the horses have to account for most of the part, and the soldiers' individual combat ability has also been reduced.

The two armies chased after me, and started a chase battle on the narrow and cramped mountain road, Wei Zhang turned on the crazy mode in front, trying to reach Shimao City one step earlier, and was carried away by Li Zhuo with the corpse of the Qin army scout just now, and now that I think about it, the other party will run away without fighting with him, and there is no ambush along the way, let alone any conspiracy, even the soldiers, it seems that there are only cavalry. It is a fool's dream for such a force to say that it is a siege, then his purpose is obviously to attract his own attention, it is best to lure himself away from Shi Mao, and then, escape from the encirclement of the Qin army, and go south to Yuzhong City!

Wei Zhang couldn't be annoyed by his incompetence at the moment, he could only do his best to make up for the consequences, when he saw Shimao City in the distance, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he returned to Shimao, even if the other party had really escaped from here, there was still room for maneuver.

Just when the Qin army arrived at the foot of Shimao City, a rain of arrows poured down from the woods on both sides of the path, and the Qin army rushing in front was suddenly attacked by this, and they had no time to take precautions, and they were hit by arrows and fell off their horses. Wei Zhang's heart was cold: It's over, the opposing troops have finished crossing the river!

Xu Yuan rode on the horse, looking at Qin Jun's slightly embarrassed appearance, and finally showed his first smile today. However, before Xu Yuan was happy, the defenders of Shimao saw that their troops were secretly attacked, and immediately ignited rockets from the city wall, regardless of whether they saw the other party or not, they also sacrificed the tactics of arrow rain, shooting towards the woods ambushing Zhao Jun, trying to ignite the woods outside the city, one is to force the other party to show up, and the other is naturally to cover their own army into the city. For a time, a big scuffle was staged outside the gate of Shimao City.

At the turn of spring and summer, even if there is a strong wind, it is not easy for the trees to burn during this season. But the gradually burning trees also gave Wei Zhang time to escape, and at this moment he couldn't think much about it, he just felt that he had to escape here quickly, as long as he entered the city, the rest would be easy to say. So he hurriedly ordered the Qin army not to fall in love with the war and quickly enter the city. At the same time, the Qin army at the head of the city also began to focus on covering the entry of their troops into the city, and opened the city gate as soon as possible.

When Li Zhuo finally arrived, most of the Qin army's troops had already entered the city, and he was just about to ride his horse to pursue, but he heard the signal to withdraw the army, and turned around to ask why he was retreating, when he happened to bump into Xu Yuan coming on horseback.

"Don't chase it anymore." Xu Yuan said, as if he was afraid that Li Zhuo would misunderstand himself and hinder him from killing the enemy, he said one more sentence: "We are not here, and it is the right thing to do if we leave quickly." ”

Li Zhuozheng was annoyed, and Xu Yuan's words poured down like cold water, calming him down. "Yes."

"Let's go, this place is not suitable for long." After that, he rode away and drove towards the path in the direction of Yulin. He knew that after this battle, most of the cavalry scouts of the Shimao defenders had been lost, and it was absolutely powerless to pursue the Zhao army. At this moment, if you go to Yuzhong, the danger is much smaller, so you should evacuate as soon as possible to prevent the other party from coming to engage in battle and delay the speed of Zhao's army's advance.

Li Zhuo also thought of this layer, so he could only glance at the head of Shimao City, and turned around to follow Xu Yuan.

Wei Zhang escaped death, and his body was also painted, which made him feel bad, he barely stood up, looked at the direction of Zhao Jun's departure, the guilt in his heart was indescribable, and after fighting all night, he didn't even know the identity of the other party, but the other party crossed the river and came inseparable, and he must be inseparable from Zhao Guo. At this moment, Wei Zhang also wanted to chase after the other party, but when he looked at himself and then looked at the exhausted Qin army behind him, he still broke off this thought.

"Order, send scouts widely, track the whereabouts of the Zhao army's troops, spread the beacon smoke to the passes of the Great Wall, strictly guard the city gates, and no one is allowed to enter or exit!"

"Yes."

"Send additional manpower, be sure to send orders to Yuzhong guards earlier than the Zhao army, strictly guard the city, and wait for reinforcements."

"Yes."

"Finally," Wei Zhang endured the pain and said slowly, "Summoning the police to the king, Shangjun was attacked by the Zhao army crossing the river, and there were casualties... Miserable..."He said bitterly, everyone knows that in the case of Zhang Yi falling out of favor, this emergency military information basically judged Wei Zhang's military career, and it was basically over.

"The old man has been fighting horses all his life, but he didn't expect this situation to make the shaft famous." He muttered.
