"Report!" A message came from the side.

"Phew!" The general of Chu tightened the reins of the horse, restrung the horse's head, and stopped the galloping war horse.

"Speak." As soon as his robe was lifted, General Chu immediately turned to the side and said to the visitor.

"General, the gates of the city have not been opened, and there are no extra soldiers on the tower." The visitor immediately reported, "The city is also unusually quiet."

Hearing this, General Chu Guo put down more than half of his heart. Then he sent an order to the army: "The army is speeding up, and the goal is to take the city!"

Yes, the general of the Chu State is not ignorant of military affairs in the end, and since he wants to pass through the city of Negative Valley, he naturally wants to be repelled and investigated.

It's a pity that because of the time, the gates of the city have not been opened, and the scouts can't enter the city, so the only thing they can report is what they see.

And what they could see was naturally what Qin Jun wanted them to see.

Unlike Gongcheng's heated preparations, there is no shadow of preparation for battle in today's Negative City City.

The 5,000 foot soldiers sent by Wang Yi were all ambushed in the pavilions and urn cities. Obviously, what they wanted was to surprise Wei Jun.

The same arrangement is also found in the city of Heyong to the north.

The reason for this arrangement is naturally not the likes and dislikes of the main general, but more importantly, it is adapted to local conditions.

Gongcheng was the only place for the Wei army to flee west, and the main force of the Qin army's foot soldiers also followed closely behind the Wei army. If the Wei army wanted to escape, it would have to attack Gongcheng, even if the Qin army was already stationed in Gongcheng.

But this is not the case with Huangcheng and Heyongcheng, where the vast north and south sides are wide, and the Zhao army and the Chu army have too many places to turn into.

Although these two cities were the most convenient of them, if the Qin army had already garrisoned them, it would be almost impossible for the Zhao army and the Chu army to storm such a city.

The only way is to cheat!

Yes, use the illusion that there is no garrison to deceive the Zhao army and the Chu army. As a result, they misjudge the situation and choose this seemingly the most "convenient" path.

Obviously, such an approach has no effect on a veteran like Lian Po at all.

The Zhao army had five river crossing locations, but none of them were close to Heyong City. It's not that Lian Po is reluctant to go far, it's just for the sake of safety.

It's a pity that the generals of Chu are obviously a little too eager to return to Chu.

Although there was still some common sense of military affairs, it was only a superficial taste, and only by a cursory inspection by the scouts concluded that the safety of the city was safe, and the final order was issued to the army.

This is obviously not what a good general should do.

But there's nothing wrong with that. After all, the current army of Chu is still in a hurry to flee for its life, and behind it, a full 20,000 Qin troops are still in hot pursuit, and the city is not only a passage home for the general of Chu State, but also a life-saving straw.

Perhaps, it wasn't that the general of Chu State couldn't think of the possibility of an ambush by the Qin army in the city, but he didn't want to think about it anymore.

This is not a subjective unwillingness, but a subconscious neglect.

It's like I'm obviously at the deadline, but I'm still brushing Douyin and refusing to write.

Are the consequences serious? Severe!

Can you write? Absolutely.

However, subconsciously, I just don't want to think about it.

In any case, the order of the general of Chu had been issued, and the remaining 20,000 troops of Chu immediately sped up and rushed to the unknown city of Negative Huang.

And in the city of Huang, Tan Xi, the commander who was entrusted with the important task, held the sword in his hand, stood on the top of the city tower, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Chu army.

If the scouts of the Chu army can go up to the city tower to have a look, they will be scared stupid, just behind the commander Tan Xi, in the attic, under the city tower, there are all soldiers of the Qin army lying horizontally!

Because of the overnight rush, Tan Xi forced him to rest in place.

As the Qin army leaned on each other and lay down, there was not much

The people's negative city did not need any more embellishment, and soon became extremely quiet.

"Report!" A hurried voice suddenly interrupted the silence of the night.

"Tell me." Du Wei Tan Yi said without looking back.

"The army of the State of Chu, about 20,000 cavalry, is coming towards the city of Negative Millet." The scout swallowed slightly, and continued, "Expect to arrive outside the city in half an hour."

"Where is my Qin army chasing the army?" Commander Tan Xi immediately asked.

"It's still about a mile or two away from the army of Chu." The scout replied immediately.

Nodding silently, the lieutenant said, "I see."

Du Wei secretly calculated in his heart: the distance of one or two miles is not much, even if the pursuing Qin army is mostly foot soldiers, the kung fu of the tea will be reached; But the kung fu of this tea is short, but it is not short.

Although it is almost impossible for the Chu army to break through the Negative Yellow City in this tea effort, the problem is that once the Chu army discovers its existence, it is very likely to give up the plan to return south from the Negative Yellow City, and instead go all the way to the west, bypassing the Negative Yellow City, and then turning south.

This means that he must hold back the Chu army at least the effort of tea.

It is not difficult to hold the Negative Yellow City, but it is difficult to keep the Chu army near the Negative Yellow City.

The main thing is that their own troops are insufficient.

There are only 5,000 men and horses, and if all of them are pulled out to fight the Chu army head-on, it is very likely that the Chu army will divide up to block itself, and the main force will immediately move westward.

In this way, he can only wipe out thousands of troops of the Chu army at most.

This is sorry for the deep meaning of General Wang Yi personally arranging himself as a lieutenant in the city.

For now, there is only a little risk!

Immediately, Commander Tan Xi made up his mind.

"Command the captains to come here, and I'm going to arrange a mission." The lieutenant then said to the herald, "Be quiet, don't make a loud noise."

"Yes." The herald whispered.

Soon, several Qin military captains in heavy armor quietly came to the front of the captain.

"I've seen the Captain." Several people whispered fists.

Nodding slightly, the lieutenant waved his hand to let a few people sit on the ground.

"The Chu army will arrive here in half an hour." The lieutenant immediately reported the current military situation straight to the point.

"Captain, are we preparing for battle immediately?" The lieutenant who had just sat down was obviously a little unable to sit still.

"There's no hurry, there's still time." The lieutenant waved lightly and said, "I'll assign the task."

"Yes." When all the lieutenants heard this, they immediately agreed.

"Captain Cha Jun." The lieutenant then nodded.

"The end will be." A lieutenant who had just been awakened immediately clenched his fists in agreement.

"I order you to lead 800 foot soldiers and 500 archers to set up an ambush on the west road outside the city, and if you encounter the Chu army crossing the border, you will immediately fire ten thousand arrows in unison, and you must make enough noise to intimidate the Chu army. Do everything possible to delay the Chu army to rush to the west and flee." The lieutenant then ordered again.

"Yes." The lieutenant named Che Jun immediately agreed.

This thousand troops obviously can't stop the Chu army that is bent on fleeing westward, but there is no problem in blocking the small force of the Chu army. Of course, even if it can't be stopped, it can be delayed a little bit, which can be regarded as a backhand left by the lieutenant for his troop arrangement.

"Captain Zhai Yu." The lieutenant nodded again.

"The end will be." The other lieutenant immediately agreed.

"Take a thousand foot soldiers, lie in ambush between the inner city and the outer city, and hide in the houses, houses, and ditches with Wuqu as a unit." Du Wei then continued: "If the Chu army is attacking, leave him alone, and once the Chu army retreats, immediately send troops to stop it."

"Yes." Although the lieutenant didn't quite understand what the lieutenant meant, he immediately agreed.

"Captain Hu Qing." The Lieutenant continued.

"The end will be." Another lieutenant immediately agreed.

"With a thousand foot soldiers, defend the south gate!" all

The lieutenant then ordered, "No matter what happens in front of you, you must not be shaken. Thou art the last bulwark of our army, understand?"

"Yes." The somewhat flattered lieutenant immediately agreed.

"The rest of the armies all retreated to the inner city, and among the outer cities, only a hundred troops remained." The lieutenant then continued to command.

"This?" Hearing this, the lieutenants suddenly had some doubts.

"Dare to ask Lieutenant, I don't know how much the Chu army has fled?" A lieutenant frowned and asked, and then explained slightly: "Our army only has 5,000 men and horses, if we directly abandon the outer city, although the inner city is there, it is not as strong as the outer city, if it is attacked by the Chu army, it will be like this......

"The Chu army still has 20,000 horses." Du Wei replied unsurprisingly: "There is no need to care about the gains and losses of the city, if it is not for the sake of precaution, I even want to give the inner city to the Chu army, as long as I guard the south gate, it doesn't matter if I give up the entire city to the Chu army."

Before a few people could react, the lieutenant immediately continued: "The follow-up Qin army is only a cup of tea away from the Chu army, as long as the follow-up army comes, how can you be afraid of the loss of this city tower? In addition, out of five thousand, it is to guard a city gate, and it is impossible to guard this cup of tea."

This is already obvious, their army is to hold back the Chu army, and as for the gains and losses of the city, it doesn't matter at all. It is a sin to defend the city and lose the Chu army, and it is a credit to lose half of the city and leave the Chu army.

Besides, no matter how broken the inner city is, it is not a problem at all to use five thousand Qin troops to block the Chu army's efforts.

"Yes." The lieutenants who reacted immediately clenched their fists and took orders.

"Order the troops to prepare for battle." Commander Tan Xi then said to the heralds, "Don't beat the drums, don't blow the horns, don't make noise, and quietly wake up the troops. The Chu army must not be allowed to discover the existence of our army."

"Yes." All the lieutenants around him agreed in unison again.

Immediately, the lieutenant waved his hand, and the lieutenants immediately hugged their fists and left.

Soon, in the attic behind him and under the city tower, there was a sound of rustling, which was the sound of the soldiers of the Qin army being awakened.

Although it was only an hour or two of rest, it was enough for the battle-hardened Qin army.

Patting his cheeks and moving his muscles and bones, the five thousand Qin troops were quickly ready for battle.

Immediately afterward, the west gate quietly and slowly opened.

A group of Qin troops dressed in black armor immediately rushed out from the west gate.

Soon, this thousand-strong Qin army disappeared among the mountains and forests outside the city gate to the west.

At the same time, the Qin army in the city also retreated to the inner city, and in the outer city, there were only 300 people left.

Of course, the commander is also in this outer city, and after the battle, these 100 troops will immediately retreat to the city under the leadership of the captain, further creating the illusion that the city is not fortified by the Chu army, and then inducing the Chu army to march into the city.
