Section 27 Ambush

readx; Today is the day of Chen Ze's expedition, in order not to delay the trip, as soon as the day dawns, Chen Ze gets up early to prepare. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When the morning light filled this mountain and river, Chen Ze and Ji and their soldiers were already ready to go and appeared outside the wall of Zhao's military camp. Ten thousand soldiers, neatly standing in front of the camp wall, waited for their general to give the order to go to battle.

Among these 10,000 soldiers, 1,300 people were dressed differently from others, and they all wore white scarves on their hands without exception, and these 1,300 people were Chen Ze's rebuilt sharp knife battalion. They were all part of the sortie, as they had been discussed, but they did not come for orders, but for the honor of a warrior, and they were eager to prove themselves in this battle!

"Eggplant, this time you must help Chen Ze return triumphantly!" At the end of the expedition, Lian Po was riding on his mount, instructing the general to go on an expedition with Chen Ze. As he spoke, he looked at Chen Ze, who was talking to Su Yun not far away, his eyes full of expectation.

"The subordinates understand that this time they will help General Chen triumphantly, and the bad thoughts of those people in the army about General Chen will be eliminated." Eggplant, who was also riding on a horse, replied with a fist, his face still as calm as ever.

Lian Po nodded very happily, he was very relieved about the eggplant. He knew that the eggplant in front of him, who had followed him for several years, a man who always treated everything with a calm complexion, had both the calmness that a general should have, and the experience that he should have in his current year.

"I'll take credit for you when you come back, so don't think General Ben is biased. And then there's ...... You have to remember to protect Chen Ze's safety. Speaking of this, Lian Po's old face smiled easily. Because he was just a joke, he knew that he would never feel that he was biased like Fan You and those others, and Chen Ze would not be so prone to accidents.

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates know that Chen Ze is important to the general, to my war, and even to my Zhao country, and they will definitely protect him, and of course they won't feel that the general is biased."

Lian Po nodded lightly and said, "Go ahead!" Call Chen Ze over, I have something to say to him. ”

"No!" He replied, then turned the horse's head around and galloped towards the place where Chen Ze was.

Not long after, Chen Ze was summoned to Lian Po. Chen Ze had already changed into a heavy armor at this time, it stands to reason that after wearing this armor, his movements should become sluggish and clumsy, but when he approached Lian Po more than a dozen steps, he was very flexible to let the mount under his crotch stop, drank the pace of the mount's advance, and stopped in front of Lian Po steadily, and then greeted Lian Po very chicly: "General!" ”

People who saw Chen Ze's series of flowing movements could not imagine that the soul inside the body that made such smooth movements was a modern person who had never ridden a horse in his previous life. Because he came to this era and had this body, he was able to manipulate the crotch so lightly, and he was able to have such a wonderful experience, and this wonderful experience is still going on, and it is not over.

"Chen Ze, you have to listen to the advice of the eggplant more on this expedition, although you are the main general, don't be too arbitrary!" Lian Po stroked his beard and admonished.

For the young man in front of him, who has only known him for more than a month, Lian Po knows him to a far lesser extent than he has followed him for many years, and his opinion of him comes more from his benefactor than his own long-term feelings and observations. And the reason why he said this admonition was precisely because of this ignorance. He still had a trace of fear in his heart, afraid that he was entrusting no one, after all, he was the general of Zhao State at this time, and he considered more about the interests of his country.

Of course, Chen Ze knew the reason why Lian Po specifically said this warning before leaving, and since that meeting, Chen Ze has already had a deeper understanding of the pressure on Lian Po. This understanding has also been transformed from Su Yun's previous verbal description into a tangible feeling. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and he knows that Lian Po is worried that his defeat in this battle will cause changes in the entire situation, and even cause even greater consequences.

Despite this, the seemingly serious old man in front of him still chose to believe in him and support him. Thinking of this, Chen Ze couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and replied extremely solemnly: "My subordinates understand! Chen Zeding lives up to this mission! When he said this, every word was sonorous and powerful, and every word reflected his heartfelt determination to win.

"Go ahead! It's time to go! ”

"No!"

Chen Ze buried his head deep in his chest and said goodbye to Lian Po with his fists. Then he turned around, filled the dantian qi, and ordered to the more than 10,000 soldiers who had been waiting for a long time: "Go out!" ”

As soon as Chen Ze's order was issued, 10,000 soldiers responded and embarked on the journey of advancement.

Looking at the advancing team, Lian Po didn't say much, just squinted his cold old eyes and quietly watched the soldiers move forward.

The marching troops, which had been marching for several hours, were approaching their destination, a dense forest south of the Turbid Zhangshui, and the supreme commander of this force, with his lieutenant general, was discussing the strategy of the upcoming conquest.

Since Chen Ze's advisor Su Yun was led by the Sharp Knife Battalion at the end of the team, Chen Ze, who had no one to discuss, had no choice but to directly take the plan he came up with alone to ask for his opinion: "What do you think about directly encircling and suppressing them?" ”

His plan made people feel that it was not feasible as soon as they heard it, and if Su Yun was here now, he might have vetoed it immediately. However, this is also in line with his identity as having no experience in leading soldiers, and it is also in line with his identity as a future person. With such a large forest, letting 10,000 people encircle and suppress the enemy army hiding in it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. At this time, they did not know the number of enemy troops or the distribution of enemy troops, so how could they encircle and suppress them? How is this possible?

Listening to Chen Ze's narration on the horse, he didn't immediately give a word for what Chen Ze said, and his head with his body moved with the mount under his crotch, swinging back and forth, and I don't know if he was nodding or shaking his head.

After a moment of silence, he still didn't express his opinion on Chen Ze's method, but said to Chen Ze in a deep voice: "How about the fire attack?" ”

"You mean to burn the woods?"

"That's right, according to the sergeant under the general, the dense forest where the Qin army scouts are hiding is very large......" said this, paused, and did not continue. Chen Ze, who heard this, didn't know that this was actually a euphemistic veto of his plan, so he was also silent, waiting for Tomato to continue.

Seeing that Chen Ze didn't react much, he knew that Chen Ze understood this euphemistic veto, and then continued: "Since we must win, using fire should be the least loss-making method. ”

Chen Ze also thought about burning that forest directly, he didn't know much about battlefield command and scheduling, but he clearly knew the truth of unscrupulous means to achieve the goal on the battlefield. He had long understood the significance of this battle, but he had not forgotten the dissatisfaction of people in the army, such as Fan You, and his trip was to eliminate this dissatisfaction.

That's right, if you burn this forest, the task of eliminating the Qin scouts can be completed immediately, and when the time comes, finding a few charred corpses, or catching a few escaped Qin soldiers, can be counted as a victory, but this can't make those in the army shut up.

Chen Ze attacked this time to prove himself, to prove the strength of his Sharp Knife Battalion, if he used this kind of fire attack that could not reflect the combat power of the Sharp Knife Battalion, how could he prove it? Fire attack is just a fire, anyone can do it, how can those who are not convinced not talk about it? Therefore, Chen Ze didn't want to use such a simple method, but wanted to use the method of encirclement and suppression, although this method was somewhat impractical, but if it was done, it would reflect the ability of his Chen Ze and the Sharp Knife Battalion, and maximize the proof effect of this sortie.

Although he talked about the fire attack and emphasized the least loss, he did not immediately agree to this plan, but prevaricated with words such as making a decision in the dense forest. As his lieutenant general, when he saw Chen Ze say this, he didn't say much. Eggplant also knew that Chen Ze wanted to use the method of encirclement and suppression to achieve the purpose of showing the strength of him and the Sharp Knife Battalion, but Eggplant, who was accustomed to acting safely, was unwilling to support it, and of course the reason for the feasibility was because of Lian Po's entrustment to him: he needed to protect Chen Ze. It was precisely because he needed protection that he would not support Chen Ze to take this risk.

So, the two who disagreed with each other stopped discussing this issue, but led the army to the dense forest.

When Chen Ze saw the dense forest, he began to doubt the feasibility of his plan. Because this forest is really big, tall and short shrubs are interspersed and growing, compared with the open space on the periphery where Chen Ze's army is located, it is simply another world.

Looking at Chen Ze with a surprised face, he knew that he was also beginning to doubt the feasibility of his encirclement plan, and he also narrowed the distance between him and Chen Ze, and asked softly: "Does the general think that he still needs to encircle and suppress now?" ”

Chen Ze didn't speak, he knew that Eggplant was suggesting him, not provoking him, not embarrassing him, and the small voice of Eggplant's questioning also reflected this. As for the plan of encirclement and suppression, in fact, he almost gave up, after all, he didn't bring much dry food this time, and it was enough to support two days, if he went to find the Qin army hiding in such a big forest, I am afraid it would not be possible to do it in a few days.

Thinking of this, Chen Ze also agreed to the eggplant and replied: "Since this is the case, then burn this forest!" ”

As soon as Chen Ze's words fell, he ordered his men to prepare to set fire to this forest. All of a sudden, thousands of soldiers began to move in place. Of course, they did not include Chen Ze's Sharp Knife Battalion, they were standing in place under the leadership of Su Yun, after all, this kind of small matter was not their turn to do it at all.

Chen Ze looked at this forest, and he still seemed to be unwilling. He was thinking that since he couldn't perform brilliantly in the method of annihilation, he could work the number of Qin troops to be annihilated, so he asked Chao Qi: "This forest is so big, I'm afraid it won't burn out in a few days, how can we prove how many Qin troops we have annihilated by then?" ”

"This general doesn't need to worry, as soon as this fire burns, there will naturally be a few clever escapes from it, these fish that have slipped through the net can catch them first, go back and torture how many of them there are, and you can still know how many Qin troops we have annihilated this time, and then ......"

Before he finished speaking, the birds living in that forest moved, as if they knew that Chen Ze and they were going to burn this forest, and began to fly towards the sky in flocks.

When he saw the birds flying out of the forest, he immediately sensed that something was wrong, and said urgently: "Not good! The enemy may be coming out! And there are a lot of them! ”

"What?" Chen Ze looked at the eggplant suspiciously, and it was not difficult to see from his expression that something big should happen later.

As a general who has followed Lian Po for many years and has battlefield experience, of course he knows that the movement of birds and beasts in the forest must mean that there must be people in the forest, and there must be a certain number of them, otherwise it will not cause the birds in the entire forest to fly out. However, he didn't have time to explain these at this time, so he immediately commanded the army that was lighting a fire on the spot for Chen Ze, who didn't know what was happening, and shouted: "Stop!" All stop! The whole army retreated a hundred steps! ”

"Do you just find out now? It's late! As he had already begun to give the order to retreat, a voice came from the woods.

With this shout, thousands of Qin troops rushed out of the forest at once, killing the unprepared Chen Ze's soldiers like a tide......
