Chapter 568: Three-way combo

The older attendant muttered, "General Zhou probably underestimates us too much." We are all tough guys who are not afraid of death, and we don't necessarily lose to your soldiers before we get to the battlefield. ”

When Zhou Shao heard this, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed and said, "You can have such arrogance, it's too late for me to be happy." He then ordered: "Sons and daughters guarding the east gate, open the gate quickly, let's go out of Lu and meet the people of the Qin Kingdom for a while." ”

When the people around Zhou Shao heard him say "Qin people", they thought that they had misheard, and the people stationed outside the city gate were obviously not the Lin Jackal cavalry? How did he become a "Qin person" again.

The military order is like a mountain, and everyone can't think about it so much, so the more than 200 school guards who were carefully selected under the leadership of Zhou Shao rode their war horses one by one, went out of the east gate like a whirlwind, and ran east along the road.

Outside the east gate of Jinyang City, where Zhang Yi was stationed, it was not as casual as the wolf cavalry led by Mantuo. Zhang Yi carefully arranged the sentry posts, especially strengthened the vigilance of the official road leading directly to Zhending in Jinyang.

Soon after Zhou Shao left the east gate, he was discovered by the Qin soldiers who were on guard, and someone quickly ran back to the camp and reported to Zhang Yi, the chief general of the Qin army. When Zhang Yi heard this, he said, "What? Did the prince of Zhao escape from Jinyang so early? ”

He couldn't believe the news for a while, according to his expectations, the prince of Zhao State would at least have to defend Jinyang, stubbornly resist for ten days and half a month, and only in desperation would he make the choice to escape. Zhang Yi's goal was to trap the crown prince of Zhao during this time. If this goal is achieved, then Su Qin and Zhao Hou and Zhao Yu will have to be in vain at the meeting in Huanshui.

What Zhang Yi didn't expect was that behind this scene, there was a plan arranged by his senior brother Su Qin to have three tricks, with Su Qin's shrewdness, under his advice, how could Qu Xin and Zhou Shao let the prince sit and wait in Jinyang City.

Zhang Yi was in a hurry, and immediately ordered: "Give me the drum and raise the tent immediately, and gather all the generals to come." At his command, the sound of drums sounded in the barracks, and the sound of the thump seemed to shake the earth.

At this time, the generals of the Qin army were sleeping soundly, and it was dawn in the early morning, when people were sleepy and tired, and they couldn't wake up. Both the generals and non-commissioned officers of the Qin army were well-trained, but in just over a quarter of an hour, the generals and colonels rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army.

In order to carefully prepare for the capture of the crown prince of Zhao, when he set off from Qin, he specially brought several generals with rich combat experience in the Qin army, including the fierce general Shi Hong, the scheming Pang Ci, as well as Ji Fen, Xing Meng and Feng Liang and others, among which Xing Meng and Feng Liang are said to have a good relationship with Gongsun Yan, Zhang Yi and the two of them are obviously for Gongsun Yan to see, which means: Look, I am impartial, and the old generals under you are also valued by me.

Gongsun Yan had certainly seen Zhang Yi's thoughts, and when they met in Jiangcheng a month ago, Xing Meng and Feng Liang saw Gongsun Yan, the former general who had defected to Wei, and they also shed tears on the spot.

Zhang Yi assigned tasks to the generals, after all, he was still not worried about Xing Meng and Feng Liang, these two people were said to have suffered repeated defeats and were beaten to the brink under the hands of the Hezong Army. Although Zhang Yi brought them to Jinyang, he still had doubts about their abilities.

Zhang Yi's first general order was given to Shi Hong, ordering him to lead 3,000 elite soldiers and quickly march eastward along the main road, not stopping at any situation along the way, and must catch up with the troops of the prince of Zhao. Zhang Yi took the token out of the handsome case and handed it to Shi Hong, who took the token, immediately turned around and walked out of the big tent, mobilizing people and horses to act.

Zhang Yi's second order was handed over to Ji Fen and Pang Ci, and they were ordered to lead two thousand men and horses each, search and advance along both sides of the road, and once they found the trace of the prince of Zhao, they immediately stepped forward to engage in battle and trap them. In the meantime, send someone to report the news immediately.

His third general order, Zhang Yi ordered Xing Meng and Feng Liang, and ordered them to immediately go to the north gate of Jinyang City, inform Gongsun Yan, and let Gongsun Yan also lead 3,000 elite cavalry to answer behind.

Zhang Yi then led the remaining 3,000 men and horses of the Qin army, as the Chinese army, along the road, while pursuing the whole thing, while contacting and coordinating the actions of the troops.

Zhang Yi's deployment can not be said to be imstrict. As long as the prince of Zhao fled along the road to the east, then he could not escape the carefully arranged combined attack and annihilation array.

Then, what Zhang Yi didn't expect was the big move made by the Zhao people outside the east gate, but it was not the real strategic intention. The two hundred elite cavalry led by Zhou Shao are just the fake target of **** Zhang Yi.

Zhou Shao made up his mind, he was bent on galloping forward along the road desperately, he knew that the more he was like this, the more he would be able to attract the Qin army outside the east gate.

Imagine: If the crown prince Zhao Yong himself fled from the east gate, where would he still be able to look forward and waver? It must be to run away in a panic, straight to the east, as far as you can.

Shi Hong followed Zhang Yi to Zhao State, but he never got the opportunity to fight, and pursued the prince of Zhao State several times, all of which were Lin Hu's wolf cavalry in front and Qin Jun behind. This time he received the task of leading the Qin army, Shi Hong was not ambiguous at all, and simply neatly ordered 3,000 cavalry to pursue along the official road from Jinyang to the east.

After chasing for more than fifty miles, the sky was completely clear, and at this time, there were soldiers who followed Zhou Shao, and they went down the official road and hid next to the road. Ishihiro's men and horses discovered the clues of these people. Someone reported the situation to Shi Hong, Shi Hong was overjoyed, and thought: "It seems that this prince of Zhao can catch up, but I am afraid that they will enter the Taihang Mountain in the northern section and enter the mountain. ”

Thinking of this, Shi Hong ordered his subordinates: "Sons, work hard! Don't care about any of the Zhao soldiers who fall behind on the road, you must go straight forward and intercept the prince of Zhao in front of Yangquan Pass. ”

Shi Hong chased out of Lu for more than thirty miles, and at this time, more and more soldiers of Zhao Guo fell behind, and these people scattered and fled into the wild. Seeing this situation, Shi Hong moved his mind to chase down some of these soldiers and came back, but after thinking about it carefully, he said: "If I divide my troops to chase, it will affect the speed of the march, and the prime minister ordered me to go all the way, so it is better to insist on ignoring it." ”
