At this moment, Wang Jian is also leading the Qin army towards Sheyanpo, Wang Jian knows very well in his heart that after the mountains around Sheyanpo, the road ahead will become a flat river, and the Qin army's iron cavalry will give full play to its greatest advantage on the plain.

At this time, Cao Chengbu brought Qian Fei with twenty flying horse scouts, this Qian Fei since he was defeated by Liu Xiang and lost Fanwu to lead the remnants to join Cao Cheng, Cao Cheng saw that Qian Fei was very brave and forceful and wanted to use it for his own use, so he personally wrote to the King of Qin to intercede for Qian Fei, and the King of Qin pardoned Qian Fei for the crime of losing the city and land, and ordered him to follow Cao Cheng, so that Qian Fei and his subordinates Wang Long and Yang Yu became Cao Cheng's subordinates.

Qian Fei walked in front of Wang Jian and reported: "General, the last general just found out that fortifications have been built on the slope of shooting geese in front, and I saw that the slope was densely covered with guns and shields, and it was impossible to distinguish how many men and horses the other party had."

Wang Jian stroked his long hair and smiled: "That's true."

Wang Ben on the side asked puzzledly: "The Zhao army set up a fortification on the slope of the wild goose earlier, such a condescending terrain is very conducive to defense, I am afraid that our army's cavalry advantage has been lost, why is my father not worried but laughing."

"The first two **** heard many Zhao people say that Li Mu wanted to abandon the second city of Chili in Yi'an, at the beginning I thought it was Li Mu's strategy to lure our army to attack, although the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army is greatly inferior to our army, but Li Mu still has more than 40,000 soldiers under his command, and our army's long-distance attack has declined, with Li Mu's military means will definitely do this.

If you don't abandon the city and choose to hold on, you will not build a defensive fortress on the slope, but will choose to ambush two troops and horses on the side of the slope, once our army is not conducive to attacking the city and the horses are scarce, these two soldiers and horses can wait for the situation to attack and cut off the rear road of our army, and the defenders in the city will gradually exhaust our army.

If Li Mu really abandons the city, he will definitely move all the people in the city to the interior, and then burn down the baggage and houses that cannot be taken away, so as to leave our army with two empty cities to occupy, so that Li Mu will definitely divide troops to transport materials to escort the people over a long distance, so that a lot of soldiers and horses will be divided, and the troops at hand can only be passively defended and cannot repel our army at all.

Li Mu is a smart man, he understands the strength of our army and various advantages and disadvantages, so in order to prevent our army from suddenly attacking, he ordered a part of the partial army to guard the Yanpo and the nearby areas, so that they can hold on for a period of time to ensure the completion of the abandonment of the city and the relocation of the people, and now there is a fortress on the Yanpo, which means that Li Mu is really going to abandon the city.

However, although this Zhao army is definitely inferior to ours in strength, it occupies a condescending advantage and the slope is steep, and it is not yet clear how many troops the other side has, so it cannot be rashly attacked."

Wang Jian turned his horse's head and said to Cao Cheng: "Cao Cheng, you lead a thousand people to attack Sheyanpo, remember that you only need to find out how many troops the opponent has, and explore the terrain and the opponent's defense capabilities, and then return."

Cao Cheng led the order to take a thousand steps and rode quickly in the direction of Sheyan Slope.

However, it was said that after receiving the order, Cheng Bian and Lu Rui knew that the situation was very urgent, and the two of them led 5,000 soldiers and horses in the military camp and hurried to the Sheyan Slope, and the whole army cut down trees on the spot to collect bricks and stones to build fortifications, and set up a fortress at the top of the Sheyan Slope in less than an hour.

Although this valley is an open land not like a gourd-shaped valley, there are a lot of large rocks and rubble in the valley, which makes the road extremely difficult to walk, and in addition to the heavy rain in the past few days, the ground is muddy, and the trees on both sides of the road add a touch of tranquility to the valley.

The Zhao army set up a camp deep in the woods, turned the felled trees into bunkers for ambush, and set up two heavy crossbows on the only cliff in the valley, waiting for the arrival of the Qin army.

Cheng Bian said to Lu Rui: "Why did you say that the general ordered us to guard the Yanpo and Luoshan Valley, and sent Liu Xiang to command us."

"General Cheng, the general has his own reasons for doing this, after all, Liu Xiang is also the one who led the army to repel the Qin army alone, and how many of us are the Qin army, the general must be afraid of our defeat, so he sent Liu Xiang to command us"

"Damn, when Lao Tzu followed the general in the north of the Great Huns, he didn't know where Liu Xiang was, didn't he just win a few battles and rode on Lao Tzu's head, no matter how many troops the Qin army has, as long as we stick here, they won't take any advantage"

The more Cheng Bian spoke, the more unconvinced he became, and Lu Rui persuaded: "General Cheng, since the general has already given the order, we will obey."

Before the words fell, only the sound of a rain of arrows outside was heard cutting through the air, but due to the steep terrain, all the dozens of feathered arrows were shot on the hillside.

A soldier strode into the camp to report: "Two generals, General Qin under the mountain will lead a team of men and horses to call for formation, claiming to step on the Yanpo slope."

Cheng Bian walked up to the watchtower next to the gate and looked at it, and said in his heart: "Although this Qin army is neatly arrayed, it is obviously only more than 1,000 people, and it seems that it was sent by Wang Jian to reconnoiter the strength of our army."

Cao Cheng looked up at the bottom of the mountain and saw that Zhao Jun still didn't move, so he shouted loudly to the mountain: "Zhao Guo'er, you come out to meet or surrender quickly, as long as you lay down your arms, we won't kill you."

Cheng Bian heard that he grabbed the soldier's longbow and shot an arrow at Cao Cheng, Cao Cheng saw the arrow flying towards him and did not dodge, and grabbed the arrow when it was almost close to him, Cao Cheng smiled: "Zhao Guo'er really only has some carving insect skills."

Qian Fei on the side said to Cao Cheng: "Brother Cao, it seems that Zhao Guoxiao'er has seen that we are just here to investigate, what should we do now."

"In that case, Brother Qian, you take three hundred infantry to move up slowly, I don't believe that they won't attack in this situation."

After receiving the order, Qian Fei jumped off the horse, and did not let the broadsword only carry the sword in one hand and the shield in the other.

The three hundred people of the Qin army formed a phalanx, and the first twenty people held a square shield to protect the soldiers behind, and the soldiers behind did not dare to relax their vigilance at all times, so the entire phalanx slowly moved towards the mountain.

Cheng Bian at the top of the slope saw that he only ordered dozens of soldiers to push down the rolling logs one by one, and the Qin troops on the hillside were all shocked and hurriedly dispersed to dodge.

Cheng Bian saw that the formation of the Qin army was already in chaos, so he drew his bow and arrows and shot three people in a row, and several Zhao army archers on the side also kept shooting arrows to kill the Qin soldiers.

Qian Fei had no choice but to order all the soldiers to rush up the mountain, and a catapult in the Zhao army fortress threw a flying stone and killed six people.
