Ning Jun smiled and instructed Zhou Shao again: "Don't worry, I won't let you stay where you are all the time." Once you have shot all your bolts, you retreat backwards, and walk away completely, leaving no trace behind. ”

Zhou Shao was still puzzled, "Ah", and said, "Then if the Qin army pursues over, won't we even resist at all?" ”

Ning Jun replied: "I won't let General Zhou be a 'non-resisting' general, when to fight back, you look at my banner." Unified action according to the command of the order flag. ”

Zhou Shao was confused from beginning to end, but Ning Jun couldn't tell him in advance what kind of strategy this was, so as not to let more people know, but it would not have the desired effect.

After arranging the crossbow troops led by Zhou Shao, he divided the remaining 20,000 men into two teams, one led by himself and on the left flank of the mountain pass, and the other led by the Han general Ji Ji on the right flank of the mountain pass. He ordered Ji Ji to completely conceal his troops, and never let the Qin army find a single movement.

Ning Jun did not hand over the task of leading the ambush troops on the other right wing to Xu Mu, this person only deserved to follow him to act, so as not to jump out and make a mistake.

After Ning Jun arranged everything, he hid on the left side of the mountain pass, and he ordered the left wing troops he led to be quiet, even the coughing sound was endured as much as possible.

Less than half an hour later, Ning Jun saw the neatly arranged military formation of the Qin State appear in the mountain pass. They formed a square formation and formed a group of 3,000 people, advancing in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Ning Jun guessed: Sima Cuo probably learned the lesson of Gongsun Yan's rapid advance, and did not dare to pursue recklessly and recklessly.

The Qin army fought steadily, and more than a dozen clusters of troops, marching in unison steps, passed through the mountain pass with the sound of footsteps, and the dust flew everywhere they passed, and even a few crows were frightened by this formation, shaking their wings, and flying desperately into the distance.

After a short while, Ning Jun saw that the Chinese army led by Sima Cuo was also a central cluster of more than 3,000 people. Sima Cuo wore a helmet and armor, carried Fang Tian's halberd, and wore a sword at his waist, walking at the front of the cluster, followed by the five or six generals on his left and right, as well as a hundred personal school guards.

As the chief general of the Qin army, Sima Cuo was naturally full of style, and the guards, heralds, miscellaneous soldiers and other personal guards were all available.

Everyone wants the position of chief general, not only because he has absolute command on the battlefield, but also because the main general and the deputy general have very different pomp and circumstance, which is simply incomparable.

Ning Jun noticed that there was no shadow of Gongsun Yan in the Qin army led by Sima Cuo, and even the two generals who were close to him, Xing Meng and Feng Liang, did not know where they had gone?

It turned out that Gongsun Yan was defeated and went back, and he happened to meet the main force of the Qin army led by Sima Cuo, more than 50,000 people, who were rushing to the mountain pass.

Gongsun Yan went to hand over the order to Sima. He was a little unconvinced, and defended himself: "The last general's forces were limited, and he was attacked by an enemy three or four times as large as our army at the mountain pass, so he retreated. Please ask General Sima to lend me 50,000 troops, and I will kill them again. ”

Sima mistakenly saw Gongsun Yan's disheveled and embarrassed appearance, and he was angry in his heart, and a little secretly happy. The angry thing is that he has suffered defeat and is still hard-mouthed; The joy is that he caught the handle of Gongsun Yan, and he can go to the monarch to play a fold, and he ruthlessly participates in Gongsun Yan's book, so that he can't eat and walk around.

Sima Cuo had a calm face and scolded Gongsun Yandao: "You rashly marched into the army, did not listen to the unified orders of the Chinese army, and now you have suffered a defeat, and you still have a hard mouth, what is the reason!" ”

Gongsun Yan pursed his lips and replied: "The last general is just to preserve his strength, so he retreats and waits for reinforcements, how can it be said that he has suffered a defeat?" My army is still mostly intact. ”

Sima mistakenly saw Gongsun Yan's mouth, he was furious, and said in a loud voice: "Defeat is defeat, what do you say to retreat." If every general is as quibble as you, what rules does my Qin army have to say. ”

As he spoke, he took the commander's arrow from the hand of the commander beside him, threw it down, and ordered to the schoolman: "Tie up Gongsun Yan for me, and wait for it to fall." ”

The school guards beside him heard the order of the main general, and rushed up to capture Gongsun Yan. At this time, Xing Meng and Feng Liang, who were beside Gongsun Yan, threw off the saddle from their horses, and hurriedly bowed to Sima Cuo.

General Sima was angry, what General Gongsun said was true, and there was indeed an ambush for the Korean army ahead. The leader of the army is none other than the rebel general Ning Jun of the Qin State, who is scheming, fierce and vicious. Moreover, the South Korean army is twice as large as ours, so it is understandable that our army will be defeated and retreated. ”

When Sima Cao heard Ning Jun's name, his heart sank, his brows furrowed tightly, and he thought, "When did Ning Jun arrive at the front line?" This man is accustomed to warfare, and it is really difficult to deal with opponents. ”

Only then did he have a little understanding of Gongsun Yan's defeat, and he knew that Gongsun Yan was arrogant and reckless, if he encountered a brave and warlike general like Ning Jun, even if he was superior in numbers, he might not be able to resist the enemy.

Sima Cuo waved his hand at the school guards, and they stopped to arrest Gongsun Yan. Feng Liang saw that the plea had another effect, and then he said: "Please forgive the last general for being bold and blunt, at present, the Qin and Han armies are in the middle of a war, and our army is at the time of employing people. ”

Sima Cuo had no intention of punishing Feng Liang and Xing Meng, he originally wanted to clean up Gongsun Yan, and thought: "If Gongsun Yan is taken, it will also affect the other soldiers around him." It's better to settle accounts with him in the future. ”

Thinking of this, he said: "For the sake of the two generals' intercession, I will spare you this time, you must know that you will repay the kindness, bravely kill the enemy, and make meritorious contributions." ”

Feng Liang and Xing Meng both kowtowed again and thanked Sima Cuo, but Gongsun Yan was still unconvinced, but Sima Cuo was the main general, how dare he not listen to the main general's orders, he bowed his hand slightly on the horse, and whispered: "The last general obeys orders." ”

Sima Cuo didn't give up, he deliberately asked Gongsun Yan: "General Gongsun, did you hear what I just said?" Why don't you reply? Do you want to disobey military orders? ”

Gongsun Yan rolled his eyes, his chest was full of anger, and he said in his heart: "Aren't you deliberately finding fault!" I obviously answered. ”

However, under the eaves, he had to bow his head, and Gongsun Yan coughed helplessly, and then said loudly: "The last general understands." ”

Sima Cuo nodded with satisfaction at this time, and he could make Gongsun Yan bow his head, of course he was overjoyed. Sima Cuo then ordered: "In view of the defeat of General Gongsun, I don't think it is suitable for you to attack further. Now, I order you to pack up the rest of your troops and drive back to Jiaoyang City at once, where you will rest and stand by. ”
