Chapter Thirty-Four: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
Very close to the cliff, there were more than a dozen people in ambush, if they were standing at the same height as them, they might not be able to see it, but now Zhao Chengping and the others condescended to see this team guarding themselves clearly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Gongsun Zhan squatted in the team, they didn't move, their heads were facing Zhao Chengping The valley where they were supposed to come in, there were a lot of big stones piled up around them, Qian Feng involuntarily touched his head, with a scared expression on his face.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Chengping quietly stood up, raised his hand, and was about to give the order to attack, but suddenly found that on the big grass opposite the first line of sky, there seemed to be people moving, and there were quite a few people, but soon, they disappeared.
Strange, I haven't heard of the third team, could it be that Wang Ji or Bai Qi are making it more difficult for them?
Since the other party has disappeared like this, let's deal with the matter in front of us first. Zhao Chengping raised his hand and waved it down suddenly.
Gongsun Zhan was still waiting for them to come in from the valley, but he didn't expect a fire in the back, although they were more numerous than Zhao Chengping's team, but because they were caught off guard, they actually "killed" many people. Gongsun Zhan relied on the cover of the desperate soldiers beside him and fled in a hurry. Zhao Chengping was even more sure that the military flag was hidden on him.
In this raid, no one in Zhao Chengping's team was lost, and Gongsun Zhan's team was wiped out except for Gongsun Zhan himself.
However, the condition for victory is to get the flag, so ...... Even if Gongsun Zhan becomes a loner, it can't be regarded as a loss. Now in this vast mountain, where to find him, it is really a tiger to return to the mountain.

When the two teams wandered around in the barren mountains, the county guard received a secret report from the scouts that it had snowed in the northern grasslands this year, and most of the Huns had not prepared grain and grass for the winter.
Wang Ji, who received this secret report, was not very anxious, after all, he had an agreement with the Xiongnu, and now the closest to the Xiongnu is Zhao, why should he be in a hurry, if all the troops of Zhao are gathered on the northern front, then the western front bordering Qin is bound to be empty, and attacking Zhao at this time will definitely be able to reap benefits.
What's more, Wu Anjun is also here at this time, and having him take action together can let King Qin see that he is not a meritorious master, and he wants to dominate one side, so he can temporarily avoid the limelight.
Zhao is good at cavalry, followed by infantry, confronting the Xiongnu head-on, will definitely mobilize a large number of cavalry, and the Qin army is hegemonic with infantry battle formations, if Zhao and the Xiongnu really go to war, then they take advantage of the weakness to enter, it is simply a win.
Coupled with the batch of horses brought by Qiao Yu, the odds of winning have increased greatly. It really makes sense that this woman can make a fortune, and the horses she sent this time have something called "stirrups", and after having it, the person riding on the horse can get more support, and there is no problem in swinging and lifting the hammer.
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Ji walked to the horse farm, where Qiao Yu was also there, smiling at the galloping horses.
These horse breeds are Dawan horses that she managed to get from the Western Regions, although they are not sweaty horses, but they are much stronger than the horse breeds in the Central Plains.
The horse's hooves drove the billowing smoke, and Qiao Yu suddenly thought of that night, he and Zhao Chengping were standing here side by side, and he couldn't help but move in his heart. I don't know how he is on the mountain at this time, but he hasn't gone down the mountain so far, and it's going smoothly.
There must be no good food in the mountains, and I don't know what he likes to eat, so let's wait for him to come down and make him a braised pork.
Could he not like to eat braised pork?
Qiao Yu was thinking nonsense, and Wang Ji said:
"It turns out that Mrs. Qiao is also here."
The sudden voice behind her startled her, Qiao Yu turned her head and found that it was Wang Ji, with a professional smile on her face, Wang Ji looked at her strangely:
"Hey, why is your face so red?"
Qiao Yu covered his face with both hands, and was really a little hot, and hurriedly said:
"It's been a long day under this sun, and it's weirdly hot."
Sun...... Weird Hot ...... Wang Ji looked up at the cloudy sky and shook his head. However, he quickly put the matter aside and asked Qiao Yu:
"In your opinion, when will these cavalrymen go into battle?"
Qiao Yu thought for a while:
"They have just gotten used to using heavy weapons on horses, and it will take about a month to be able to enter the battle and kill the enemy."
A month, the Huns just began to assemble, even if they have always moved quickly, coming and going like the wind, to invade Zhao, Zhao transferred troops to stop, the time is a little reluctant.
He asked:
"Can you speed it up a little faster?"
"Faster?" Qiao Yu looked at him strangely, "Do you have to start a war with Zhao Guo?" ”
was told that he was broken, Wang Ji snorted: "No, no, why does Qiao Niangzi think so?" ”
"Among the Seven Kingdoms, the cavalry of Zhao is the strongest, except for the Seven Kingdoms, it is the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu are still some distance away from the Qin realm, so I guess it is the Zhao State, don't blame me for being wrong." Qiao Yu really just guessed casually, but Wang Ji was startled.
After all, to start a war against the Zhao State, the King of Qin needs the approval of the King of Qin, but the King of Qin will not move troops with the Zhao State whose strength is comparable to his own for the time being, Wang Ji hopes to persuade Bai Qi first, the two of them work together, strike first, and then report to the King of Qin if they win.
When the time comes, just say a reason, for example, Zhao Bing violated the border, and Hedong County had to fight back, thinking that King Qin would not blame himself for Zhao Guo.
Although this matter was broken by Qiao Yu, this woman should not go to Xianyang to sue him, it's a big deal...... Just keep her in Anyi before the war.
Thinking of this, Wang Ji felt a little relieved, and only discussed with Qiao Yu about raising horses and training cavalry.

On the mountain, Zhao Chengping and others were chasing in the direction of Gongsun Zhan's escape, and the newly rained ground was muddy, and a pair of footprints could be seen heading straight for the stream.
It was a clever choice, and when he stepped into the stream and went up or down in the stream, there was no way to know.
"Quick!" Zhao Chengping only said this one word and quickened his pace.
It's a pity that it was a step too late, Zhao Chengping looked at the footprints that disappeared by the stream, and smiled:
"There's no end to it."
The others stood behind him, waiting for him to give an order, Zhao Chengping knew that he must not show a dazed or confused, or even complaining attitude at this time, he calmed down and analyzed in his mind:
"If it were me, I would have found a random place to hide, set a trap, and then release the bait and wait for someone to cross over and throw myself into the net. However, Gongsun Zhan's past experience shows that he has no experience in digging pits and traps, and leading troops to surprise attacks is his hobby. Therefore, he should take the initiative to find the door and sneak attack. ”
Is there any chance that one person, sneak attacking eight people, will succeed? Even if you are a fierce general, you have to talk about the Basic Law......
Just when Zhao Chengping hesitated, three consecutive arrows shot out of nowhere made him understand Gongsun Zhan's thoughts.
Ranged Attack!
Before the soldiers who were shot could react, Zhao Chengping looked at him regretfully: "You can go down the mountain to eat." ”
The range of the Qin crossbow can reach up to 300 steps, and from the place where the arrow flew just now, it is upstream.
"Three arrows in a row, this Gongsun Zhan's individual combat ability is also excellent." Zhao Chengping sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Originally, we couldn't catch up with him, what did he do when he exposed his target so quickly?" ”
Xin Wei hurriedly said: "This is not the time to admire others, chase after it." So saying, he chased after the arrows where they had come.
After chasing for dozens of steps, he understood why Gongsun Zhan exposed the target, there are a lot of stones on the ground here, and people can't leave any footprints when they walk by, and when they get here, it's difficult to find him, if there is a heat-sensitive response, it would be good......
It is also surrounded by strange rocks, and the stone pinnacles are towering, which is really an excellent hiding place.
"It's a pretty good place." Zhao Chengping also arrived, looked around, and as far as his eyes could see, there were strange stones everywhere that were enough to hide from a person, and Gongsun Zhan might be behind any stone.
"Just now we were in the dark, he was in the light, and now we are in the light and he is in the dark." Xin Wei sighed, "It's really cutting the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows." ”
Zhao Chengping, who was standing beside him, suddenly heard the sound of arrows whistling, and a dark shadow shot straight towards Xin Wei's heart.
"Squat!" Zhao Chengping shouted, his toes suddenly touched the ground, and the whole person instantly reached Xin Wei's back.
The arrow had already reached Zhao Chengping's chest, but it couldn't move forward any further.
The arrow was held tightly by one hand, and Zhao Chengping snorted coldly and threw the arrow on the ground.
Xin Wei reacted at this time, turned around in a daze, and looked at Zhao Chengping who was still holding the arrow:
"Awesome, my brother ......"
Zhao Chengping didn't speak, looking at the direction where the arrow was flying, it was empty, and Gongsun Zhan didn't know where to run.
He laughed self-deprecatingly: "This offense and defense are too fast, who can be the yellow finch to the end?" Gongsun Zhan, let's see. ”
