Outside Xiaopei City, 20,000 Qin troops were lighting torches and setting up tents in the wilderness.

On the city wall, Li Dian and Le Jin stood side by side, looking at the Qin army who was busy outside the city, and both of them were at a loss on their faces.

"The Qin army was stationed ten miles away earlier, why did they come outside the city at night?" Looking at the light of the torches outside the city, Le Jin muttered a little suspiciously.

"If you knew that our army had an ambush, the Qin army would not have come here!" Holding the battlements with both hands, and also looking at the Qin army camping outside the city, Li Dian said to Le Jin: "Presumably, we didn't find our army in ambush, so I was bold!" ”

Nodding, Le Jin didn't say anything.

What Li Dian said was not unreasonable, if the Qin army knew that there was an ambush outside the city, they would definitely not advance lightly, let alone come here at night.

"How do I think Qin Jun is a little weird!" After looking at it for a while, Le Jin frowned, raised his hand and pointed to Li Dian outside the city and said: "The Qin army is also a little more noisy, and it has clashed with the Qin army many times, and I have never seen them so noisy!" ”

Le Jin mentioned that Qin Jun was too noisy, and Li Dian also frowned slightly, although he had no words, he also felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Li Dian and Le Jin stood on the city wall and looked at the Qin army outside the city, and led the army to Wei Yan outside Xiaopei City overnight, but they were busy discussing with Li Ji how to deal with the ambush of Cao's army.

Outside the handsome tent that had just been erected, Wei Yan and Li Ji stood facing each other, looking at Xiaopeicheng, which was lit up with stars and flames on the city, Wei Yan whispered to Li Ji: "General Li, you can lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and take advantage of the fact that the army is camping, and quietly march towards the ambush of the Cao army!" ”

"Do you want to lead the cavalry?" Knowing that there must be a big battle at night, and this time he was going to lead a whole 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight against Cao's army, Li Ji's already nervous palms were dripping with sweat, and he whispered to Wei Yan.

"Take all 2,000 cavalry away!" After thinking for a while, Wei Yan said to Li Ji: "All the cavalry wrap the horse's legs with cloth, and don't make the slightest noise. ”

"Obey the general's orders!" With a fist in response, Li Ji turned around and left.

After a while, Wei Yan, who was standing outside the tent, saw a large army quietly driving out from the direction of Xiaopeicheng with his back to Xiaopeicheng, heading towards a mountain in the distance.

The army of 10,000 people did not light the torches, the torches they held earlier were all scattered on the ground, looking at the barracks from the distant city wall, the number of torches was not small, and it was impossible to see that a large army had left the barracks and was heading in the direction where Cao's army was lurking.

Leading an army of 10,000 out of the barracks, Li Ji ordered the scout who had spotted Cao's ambush to lead the way, while he rode behind with another general.

"General Lee!" The partial general who cooperated with Li Ji, who was more than ten years older than him, rode in with Li Ji, and the partial general asked in a low voice: "Since you know that the Cao army has an ambush, why did General Wei order the army to be stationed outside Xiaopei City?" ”

"Cao Jun has set a trap for my army!" Turning his head to look at the partial general, Li Ji replied in a low voice: "General Wei is just a good trick under Cao Jun, and another trick for them to be fooled." ”

"I really didn't expect that General Wei was so young and had such a strategy!" I don't know if it's out of sincerity, or if I just want to take a picture of Wei Yan's sycophants, the partial general said to Li Ji: "If our army wins this battle, General Wei is afraid that he will become famous in the first battle!" ”

Nodding, Li Ji smiled slightly, and said to the partial general: "What we want to think about is not whether General Wei can be famous after the war, but how many Cao troops we can annihilate in this battle!" ”

When Li Ji said this, the general's cheeks were slightly red, and he said with some shame: "What General Li said is true!" ”

Compared with the loud noise of the early march, the 10,000 Qin army at this time was surprisingly quiet.

When the soldiers marched, they deliberately slowed down, and even the pace of walking did not require consistency as usual.

Walking at the same pace is indeed beautiful, and when marching, the soldiers will walk in the same pace, and the momentum will be more magnificent.

But every thing, if there is a good side, there must be a bad side.

If you walk at the same pace, 10,000 people walking, although you want to deliberately light your steps, the same frequency will still cause a lot of footsteps.

All soldiers are free to march, the pace is not consistent, the frequency of footsteps will be very messy, as long as the footsteps are slightly lighter, you can achieve the purpose of hiding the tracks.

The scout, who was leading the way at the front, raised his arm and pointed to the mountain when he brought Li Ji and 10,000 Qin troops to a mountain and said, "General, the ambush of the Cao army is in the mountain nest ahead!" ”

"Is there a sentry?" Looking at the dark mountains that were already close at hand, Li Ji whispered to the scout.

"Yes!" The scout almost didn't think about it, and said to Li Ji: "When I found them earlier, I also saw a few Cao Jun sentries in the mountains, but I avoided them!" ”

Looking at the mountains in the night ahead, Li Ji didn't say anything, but just waved behind him.

With his beckoning movements, more than a hundred soldiers of the Qin army quickly ran towards him, reached his side, and bowed to him with fists at the same time.

After those soldiers saluted, they did not immediately straighten their waists, but quietly waited for Li Ji to give an order.

Looking down at the more than 100 soldiers standing on the side of the war horse, Li Ji coldly ordered them: "Enter the mountain first, investigate the Cao army sentry agents, and kill all the Cao army sentry agents!" Don't let them run away! ”

"No!" After Li Ji gave the order, more than 100 soldiers of the Qin army clenched their fists in unison and lowered their voices.

After receiving Li Ji's order, these more than 100 Qin troops did not delay for a moment, and after answering, they were led by a centurion and quickly rushed towards the mountains that were already close at hand.

In the night, the backs of more than 100 Qin soldiers disappeared quickly, but in an instant, there was only a pitch-black night left in front of Li Ji's eyes.

When this group of Qin soldiers ran away, Li Ji raised his arm and beckoned back, rode his war horse first, and slowly advanced towards the mountains.

While Li Ji led 10,000 Qin troops to advance into the mountain, in a valley in the mountain, Cao Hong pressed the hilt of his sword with his hand and walked among the Cao soldiers who were sitting or lying.

Just now, a scout had already reported to Cao Hongyu that the 20,000 men and horses of the Qin army had arrived outside Xiaopei City at night and had set up a military camp outside the city.

He had been stationed outside Xiaopei City for several days, and Cao Hong had even doubts about whether the Qin army would come to attack Xiaopei in the past few days.

When he almost doubted whether Guo Jia had made a mistake in his analysis, Qin Jun finally came!

Guo Jia's strategy was to ask him to secretly observe the movements of the Qin army, and once the Qin army advanced outside Xiaopei City, he would immediately lead the army to kill it, and join forces with the Cao army in the city to annihilate the Qin army in one fell swoop.

At this time, the Qin army had arrived, and Cao Hong knew that there would be a fierce fight outside this Xiaopei City tonight.

Before fighting, letting the soldiers rest well also reflects his love for the soldiers as a general.

Cao Hong only waited for it to get late, and then led a large army out of the mountain nest and attacked the Qin army stationed outside Xiaopei City.

But he didn't know that he had not yet set out with his army, and an army was quietly approaching the place where he was stationed.

Li Ji led 10,000 Qin troops and quietly advanced into the mountains and forests. The soldiers of the Qin army, who entered the mountains one step ahead of the army, were already scattered, working in pairs, looking for the eyes of the Cao army lurking in the mountains.

More than 100 Qin troops entered the mountains and forests and searched for a long time before they cleared less than ten Cao army sentry sentries.

Sending more than 100 Qin troops into the mountains and forests, Li Ji just wanted to clear the Cao army sentry as much as possible before the army entered the mountains and forests.

He also knew that in such a short period of time, the soldiers who entered the mountains and forests first would definitely not be able to clean up all the Cao army sentry scouts.

Led the army, and not long after the first group of Qin troops entered the mountains and forests, Li Ji finally entered the mountains and forests.

The mountains and forests here are very different from the mountains of Xiangling.

In the Lingling, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the forests are also very close, but the mountains and forests here are more sparse.

Entering the forest, knowing that their whereabouts would soon be exposed, Li Ji did not delay, waved behind him, and the speed of the horse was much faster.

10,000 Qin troops entered the mountains and forests, and the goal was huge, and soon they were discovered by Cao army sentries lurking in the forest.

The Cao army sentry who found the 10,000 Qin army led by Li Ji watched the black Qin army enter the mountains and forests.

Creaning in the canopy, obscuring his figure through the leaves, the Cao military sentry was stunned by the fact that both eyes widened.

followed Cao Hong to this place in order to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Qin army and launch an attack on the Qin army from behind.

But at present, Cao Hong has not yet given the order to go out, but the Qin army has already approached the vicinity of the garrison of the army, if it is not reported to the army, I am afraid that it will no longer be the Qin army that will suffer heavy losses tonight, but the more than 10,000 Cao army soldiers led by Cao Hong.

Witnessing the black pressure of the Qin army passing in front of him, the Cao army sentry hiding in the canopy of the tree even watched several Qin soldiers pass under the tree where he was hiding.

When a soldier of the Qin army passed by the big tree where he was hiding, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and glanced up at the canopy.

Seeing that the Qin soldier looked up at the canopy, the Cao army sentry who was lying dormant in the tree was shocked, and hurriedly hid his body behind a thick branch.

Qin Jun, who looked up at the canopy of the tree, didn't notice that there was a person hiding in the tree, so he quickened his pace and walked under the tree.

Seeing that the Qin army walked under the tree, Cao Jun, who was squatting in the canopy, took a deep breath, licked his lips, and continued to observe the Qin army soldiers walking by in patches.

Just as he looked at the soldiers of the Qin army passing under the tree without blinking, an arm suddenly came from behind him, and the other wrapped around his neck, and then a sharp short sword slashed hard at his neck.
