Chapter 428: A Thousand Shots
When Sima Cuo hesitated, the Korean army led by Zhou Shao had already swaggered back more than two miles, and what made Sima Cuo even more puzzled was that after they withdrew two miles away, they stopped and no longer retreated.
Sima mistakenly thought: "Is it really a trap set up waiting for us to drill?" If this were not the case, the South Korean army should be as far away from our army as safer it was, so why did it stop again? ”
Where did Sima Cuo expect that: In fact, this was because Zhou Shao had previously received a secret order from Ning Jun, and he could participate in the counterattack against the Qin army. Zhou Shao was waiting for the time to counterattack, so he tried to maintain the best position to launch a counterattack.
At this time, Ning Jun and Ji Ji each led the Han army on the left and right flanks, and were ambushing in the lowlands on both sides of the Qin army. Zhou Shao ordered his crossbow archers to rest on the spot, pick up their weapons, and prepare for the upcoming counterattack.
Zhou Shao's demeanor made Sima Cuo's suspicions even heavier, and he felt that the Qin army's advance was dangerous, and it was very likely that the Han army and the other princes' armies who had rushed to support were setting up a pocket formation, waiting for the Qin army to get in.
Sima Cuo thought to himself: "I already knew that Dao Ning Jun appeared on the battlefield of Mianchi, but I didn't hear that Su Qin appeared. ”
He was shocked and suspicious: "Could it be that Su Qin has already arrived in Michi, but before the time to show up, the army led by him will take the opportunity to cover up and kill me once I enter the ambush circle?" ”
Thinking of this possibility, Sima Cuo's cold sweat flowed down, he and Su Qin were not strangers, this person's number of schemes, strangeness, and his ability to command battles were second to none.
Sima Cuo suddenly had the idea of leading the Qin army to retreat in order to get out of danger.
At this time, the battlefield once again fell into a terrible tranquility, and the Han army was waiting more than two miles away, and the Qin army was waiting in front of them, like a tiger waiting to come down the mountain to pounce.
But now, the "tiger" of the Qin army was actually frightened by themselves, and they stayed where they were, neither pursuing nor retreating. The situation on the battlefield is strange and awkward.
Zhou Shao was also waiting for Ning Jun to issue a new order, his eyes peeked at Ning Jun's left flank in ambush without blinking for a moment, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, but there was no movement for a long time.
Zhou Shao waited for a long time, but he was inevitably anxious, and said in his heart: "What is Ning Jun doing here, is he asleep?" ”
Where could Ning Jun relax for a moment, he was actually observing Qin Jun's movements for a moment. He looked at Sima Cuo, and he was still worried, up and down.
If Sima Cuo continued to pursue Zhou Shao, then the Han army would have to launch a counterattack, because there was no danger ahead, and they would reach Sogo City in one step.
Because if even Sogo City is not protected, South Korea will really open its door, and the Qin army will drive straight in, and it will be difficult to stop it. Qin broke Han and the princes couldn't save it, so what was the point of the alliance? At that time, it will become a joke after people's dinner.
Qianjun was hanging in a hair, how could Ning Jun not hold his breath and deal with it carefully. And Sima Cuo will break Han in one fell swoop and become a great contributor to the Qin State's sweeping of the alliance of the United Vertical.
Therefore, Ning Jun would never let Sima Co pass through the ambush circle he had arranged. However, at present, the Qin army is outnumbered by itself, and the other side is coming prepared with a whole army, unlike the Korean army, which was temporarily assembled on the route of rout.
Just like the competition between two boxers, the weaker side can't beat it in the first place, and it has just suffered a defeat, while the stronger side is ready to go, and the odds of victory can be imagined.
Ning Jun knew very well: "If the two armies fight hard, the possibility of victory for the South Korean army is very rare." "Despite this, how could Ning Jun easily let the Qin army break through Han in order to destroy the hard-won alliance. He himself has endured a lot of hardships and made a lot of efforts for this great cause.
In addition, Ning Jun deeply hated Qin Jun for winning Si's character, and vowed not to give up if he did not avenge the death of Wei Wei. The success of the alliance is undoubtedly the greatest revenge for Yingsi.
There is no greater revenge on an enemy than destroying what he values, cherishes, and reluctantly reluctant. For Ying Si, this thing is the hegemony of the Qin State, and as long as the alliance is successful, the pace of the Qin State's annexation of the world will be delayed by at least fifty or even hundreds of years, for Ning Jun, what a happy thing!
Ning Jun looked at Sima Cuo's demeanor very carefully, hoping that the other party would be frightened away by the bravado array he had set up. Xu Mu beside him didn't know what was going on, although Ning Jun had briefly told him that he was intimidating the Qin army, but when he saw the tense formation on the battlefield, he still couldn't understand the subtle taste.
Xu Mu couldn't hold back the suspicion and eagerness in his heart, and said to Ning Jun: "General Ning, are we going to take the initiative to attack......
Ning Jun himself was on high alert, and the people around him made noises the most, exposing Han Jun's details, but he didn't expect Xu Mu to ask questions at this time. Although Xu Mu's voice was not loud, it was very harsh on the extremely quiet battlefield.
Ning Jun was furious in his heart, and while he put his finger on his mouth and motioned for Xu Mu to shut up, he hurriedly and unceremoniously pressed his head down to prevent Qin Jun from discovering the source of the sound.
Sure enough, Sima Cuo had already distinguished the sound of someone on the battlefield when he was paying special attention to any noise on the battlefield. Although the sound was as small as a mosquito fluttering its wings when it reached his ears, how could Sima Cuo let go of the clues!
Sima Cao heard the human voice, and he immediately glanced around the battlefield, and finally stopped his gaze behind the small mountain bag on the left where Ning Jun was. Sima looked at it for a while, but no other sound came from there.
Sima Cuo wondered if his ears had heard it wrong, he turned his head and asked Zhou Shidao beside him, "General Zhou, did you hear the sound of people talking from the left?" ”
Zhou Shi seemed to be aware of it, but he wasn't sure, so he replied: "Maybe there is, the last general didn't hear it clearly, and he didn't dare to determine." ”
Sima Coo nodded, thinking, "Okay, you are a treacherous and cunning Su Qin, who obviously wants to treat me like Gongsun Yan, and wants to repeat Gongsun Yan's failure on me." You really insult my wisdom with Sima Cuo. I'm not going to be fooled by you! ”
At this time, Sima Cuo began to think about what would be the safest and most beneficial situation for him, and he felt: "It is better for me to be conservative and lead the Qin army to retreat to the safety behind the mountain pass as soon as possible." ”
Sima mistakenly thought: "I can't fall into your trap, if I take a step back, I can still keep the results of the battle of Michi, and then besiege Shangguan City until the city is breached, and then the entire territory of Michi will be included in the territory of Qin." Isn't that a great achievement! ”
Besides, it is now nearly late winter, and the warm day of spring is not far away, and once the ice is civilized, there will be no barrier in Shangguan City, and it is not at your fingertips?
