On the twelfth day of August in the seventeenth year of the Marquis of Wei, on the day when the Qin army's grain route was attacked, the Qin army stationed in Anping City received the news.

The Qin army had to react to this and find out who was robbing the grain and grass in the rear, in fact, it was easy to guess that it was the Wei army's ghost.

Then, the Qin army began to mobilize troops, wanting to exterminate the Wei army that had mixed in the rear.

According to the information obtained by the rout of the army escorting grain and grass, the commander of the Qin army easily learned that it was the Qin cavalry who did the trouble.

This is a bit troublesome, if you want to deal with such a cavalry, if you use foot soldiers, you need a lot of troops, and it is not feasible.

However, if you use cavalry to strangle, you must draw the forces of the confrontation with the Wei army in the front, which will put your own side in a disadvantageous situation on the battlefield ahead.

Therefore, after thinking about it, the Qin army directly sent an urgent report to the capital Xianyang, asking the monarch to send cavalry to strangle the Wei army in the rear.

In order to suppress the Wei army in the rear, they contacted the Chu army in Xinle City, hoping that the other party could send troops to encircle and suppress the Wei army in Chendi.

Something happened on the side of the allies, and the generals of the Chu State still understood it, so they reacted quickly.

On the 13th of August, 10,000 Chu soldiers drove out of Xinle City and began to search for traces of the Wei army.

But both the people of Chu and Qin know that this search method is actually of little use except for a limited deterrent effect.

The Wei army is cavalry, even if your infantry finds where the other party is, can you still catch up?

So in this case, Fang Xuan and the others survived without pressure, and they robbed a part of the Qin army's grain and grass for their own use, so there was no problem with logistics for the time being.

On the Qin side, after a large amount of grain and grass was destroyed, their more urgent task was to urge Xianyang to transport grain and grass to the front line as soon as possible, otherwise this battle would not be able to be fought.

…………

When Wei Wuji received the news that Fang Xuanqi had won the victory, he immediately ordered his subordinates to spread the news.

He just wants to let those who are waiting to see the jokes in Changping Pass know that he has made great achievements outside Changping Pass.

Originally, Wei Wuji didn't need to compete with these people like this, but he still had to show the low-level soldiers and soldiers to show them that it was Wu Yangjun's good news.

Think about it! It was Wu Yangjun who advocated going out to fight the enemy, and now Wu Yangjun has come up with his own results, what does this mean?

It means that Wu Yangjun is the legendary Wu Yangjun, invincible!

Outside Changping Pass, Wei Wuji also stayed here for seven days, and for these seven days he confronted the Qin army on the opposite side, and no one would take a step back.

To say that the people of the Qin State are also able to endure it, Wei Wuji sent people to scold the war every day, but the Qin people on the other side seemed to be deaf and did not respond at all.

Even if he sends someone to scold back and forth! Wei Wuji thought so.

The distance between the two armies had now been widened to five miles, which was a relatively safe position for both sides, but in fact it was still frighteningly close to the cavalry.

However, at noon on the 15th of August, a scout in front reported that the cavalry of the Qin State on the opposite side had a commander of the troops of the commander's unit being withdrawn.

Wei Wuji understood why this was after a little thought, it must have been used to besiege Fang Xuan and the others, and the people of the Qin State would definitely not tolerate Fang Xuan's presumptuous rear.

So, in order to alleviate Fang Xuan's pressure, Wei Wuji gave an order to Xu Guanxiao, who was pressing the formation behind, and asked him to move the army forward five miles to a position alongside his own army.

The reason why this was done was entirely to increase the pressure on the people of the Qin State.

Didn't you withdraw your troops?

Okay, then we'll have more troops on our side!

Under such circumstances, the Qin army commander was a little hesitant after receiving the news, but he still decided to proceed with the original plan.

If the Wei people in the rear are not cleared, the Qin army will not think about dealing with the Wei army in front wholeheartedly. And in the eyes of the generals of the Qin army, the Wei army was stalemate for so long without making a move, and it was obviously not ready for a big war.

Seeing that his military pressure did not interfere with the Qin army, Wei Wuji was also a little entangled at this time, should he just do it, or should he make something bigger?

Soon, Wei Wuji chose the latter, and then he called Gao Yun over.

The 3,000 people under Gao Yun are all light cavalry, and it is very suitable to tease the Qin army.

This style of play is similar to the guerrilla warfare of later generations, attacking and harassing the enemy while the army is stationed, so that the opponent is not at peace.

But the difference is that Wei Wuji also told Gao Yun that if the Qin army sent troops to fight back, Gao Yun could decide whether to fight it according to the situation.

The meaning of this is that if the army sent by the Qin army is not strong enough, then the counterattacking Qin army can be solved.

Of course, Wei Wuji had the confidence to say this, and he also took a look at the equipment of the Qin army's cavalry, which was similar to the ordinary cavalry of the Wei State, and when the disparity in strength was not large, it was difficult for the Qin army to win.

Then, Gao Yun received the order and rushed there with great interest.

For Gao Yun, he also needs to make more military achievements, otherwise what will he do to fight Fang Xuan? Competition is also ubiquitous in the military.

Not long after Gao Yun and his entourage set out, the Qin army received the news, and then sent the same troops from the Commander's Department to deal with it.

In the eyes of the Qin army, this can only be a circumstance, they do not think that the Wei army will use this to attack in an all-out way, but the Qin army has still entered a state of combat readiness.

Gao Yun really didn't expect that the Qin army would only send so many people, so he directly ordered the whole army to accelerate the attack.

Since Wei Wuji agreed to go first, then he was not afraid to poke the sky out of the hole, and it became his choice to defeat the Qin cavalry who rushed out.

Unprepared by the armies of both sides, a relatively small cavalry battle broke out, and the cavalry on both sides collided with each other.

Now it was time for the Wei army to be vicious, their armor was more than a star and a half better than that of the Qin people, and the Qin army's bows and arrows could hardly cause damage.

This meant that the Wei cavalry only needed to reap their lives with the sabers in their hands, and their iron sabers also killed the bronze swords in the hands of the Qin army.

The myth of the Wu Yang army in the Northland Grassland was staged again, and even the elite cavalry of the Qin State was pierced like rags in front of the Wei army.

Under this charge, nearly a third of the 3,000 Qin troops who attacked were lost, and at the same time, the fighting spirit of the entire army was also crushed.

Many of the Qin soldiers who were alive had a fear of the Wei soldiers behind them at this time, this was simply an opponent who couldn't be killed!

What can I do? That, of course, is an escape!

Although this was the meaning, of course, the leader of the Qin army, Lieutenant Du, could not say this, but ordered a retreat. Although the essence is the same, at least it sounds better.

So, when Gao Yun and his men lined up again, they found that their opponent had fled back.

Now the matter is a big deal, how could Qin Jun have thought that there would really be a fight between the two armies, and the most important thing is that he still lost so badly!

As a result, the situation suddenly became tense, and the remaining Qin army, under the command of its chief general, began to slowly march towards Wei Wuji's side while beating the war drums.

After all, it was an army of more than 10,000 people, and Gao Yun was certainly not confident enough to think that he could block it, and then decisively decided to retreat.

Wei Wuji, who was in the rear, saw the Qin army moving forward, so he ordered the whole army to enter combat readiness, and at the same time sent someone to inform Xu Guanxiao to make all preparations.

The situation outside Changping Pass changed suddenly, and a major battle seemed to be coming, and the Qin and Wei armies, which were close to 30,000, started the most fierce confrontation since the confrontation.

However, when most of the Qin army was only three miles away from the Wei army, their commander gave the order to stop advancing.

After careful discussion, the generals of the Qin army decided to be patient, and then asked the main generals in the rear.

The reason why they made such a decision was because they did not have confidence in defeating the opposing Wei army, and reason made them stop at the right time.
