Chapter 96: Finding Out the Enemy's Tracks

Bai Zhong took over the task of the forward, and immediately went back to gather his more than 50,000 people to keep up with the grain transportation team in front.

At this time, the Qin army had already penetrated deep into Taihang Mountain, and if Li Mu really set up an ambush, it was possible to set up an ambush in the place where he was about to get out of Taihang Mountain, which was the most effective.

"Stop!"

Bai Zhong considered this and asked everyone to stop first.

More than 50,000 people stopped at the front of the grain transport team.

"General, what's wrong?"

Zhang Han stepped forward and asked.

Bai Zhong looked back and said, "Zhang Han, you take 10,000 people to escort the grain transportation team, and the remaining 40,000 people are led by Li Xin, Luo Qing and Tian Zhen, you bring short soldiers to follow me, and the rest of the Iron Eagle Warriors all dismount and scatter into the mountains to find out the enemy's traces." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then said: "Li Xin, you continue to march, but the speed does not need to be too fast, if we find that there is really an ambush ahead, we will come back immediately to gather, and then find a way to fight out." ”

"Yui!"

They said in unison.

Bai Zhong only took Luo Qing and Tian Zhen, as well as fifty short soldiers each, and separated from the large army.

The five two or five hundred lords of the Iron Eagle Rui Warrior each led their 1,000 subordinates to scatter into the mountains and forests, and walked towards the exit of the Taihang Mountain Range in front of them.

As the forward, their speed was much faster than that of Wang Qian's army behind, and they were already very close to the mountain pass at this time.

Bai Zhong led a hundred short soldiers and soon entered the deep mountains.

When they were training before, they had the experience of field training in the Qinling Mountains, and at this time they were walking in the Taihang Mountains, the speed was very fast, and it took less than half an hour to get close to the edge of the Taihang Mountains, but the position where they were sneaking was still along the road outside.

If Li Mu arranged an ambush, it could only be near the mountain pass.

"General, there is a situation ahead."

A skirmish soldier came back from the front and said, "We have found traces of people walking. ”

Bai Zhong stepped forward to look at it for a while, and sure enough, some grass was pressed down, obviously there were traces of someone passing by, and it was possible that it was Zhao Jun's scout.

"Follow along."

He said as he walked forward.

After walking for about three or four miles, they all stopped, hid in the nearby grass, and cautiously looked out, only to see more than a hundred Zhao army scouts resting in front, as if exchanging news with each other, and were about to send them back to Li Mu.

"Kill!"

Bai Zhong didn't take these more than 100 people to heart.

He slowly drew his horizontal knife in his hand, and was the first to strike, leaping up in the grass.

"Keep up!"

Luo Qing and Tian Zhen hurriedly said.

Before the scouts could react, they saw a flash of swords.

The two heads suddenly flew into the sky, and Bai Zhong slashed two of them with a knife.

The rest of the soldiers took the opportunity to quickly kill in, and with a single slash of the horizontal knives in their hands, they easily broke through the enemy's body and killed more than a hundred people in the blink of an eye.

There were still more than 20 Zhao soldiers left to escape, but they were chased by Luo Qing and all of them were solved.

These scouts are not strong, and they don't even have a chance to resist.

"Tian Zhen, clean up these corpses."

"Luo Qing, you bring someone with me."

After Bai Zhong finished speaking, he followed the trail of Zhao Jun's scouts and walked forward, and soon came to a high slope.

They looked down from the high slope and saw a dense crowd of Zhao army soldiers, lurking below, just close to the main road that their Qin army must pass, just near the mountain pass.

"The Admiral guessed right!"

Luo Qing lowered his voice and said, "Look at the formation, there are more than 20,000 people here. ”

"And that's not all!"

Bai Zhong is currently on the north side of the main road, pointed to the south side, and continued: "There should be more than 20,000 people over there, I guess Li Mu will use 50,000 people to ambush here, go back first." ”

They immediately retreated, first rendezvous with Tian Zhen, and then sent people to find Meng Tian and Gengwu, and they all retreated.

The matter of the enemy's ambush has been almost investigated, and he will go back to meet Li Xin and the others as soon as possible, and then find a way to solve these ambushes.

——

The other side.

Geng Wu and Zhang Tang happened to go to the south side to investigate.

Like Bai Zhong, they also encountered a group of scouts, and the other party only had dozens of people, and they were easily dealt with by two thousand people.

"The ambush should be ahead."

Zhang Tang saw the nearby traces and guessed.

Geng Wu hesitated and asked, "Go and see?" ”

"Of course you have to go, but be careful."

Zhang Tang also thinks so.

They followed the trail of the scouts, and soon approached the ambush on the south side, and immediately sneaked down, hiding their bodies and looking outside.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush, there should be more than 20,000 people."

Geng Wu judged.

Zhang Tang said: "Go back and tell the general." ”

They were about to retreat, when suddenly a scout of the Zhao army came to the hidden position, happened to see Zhang Tang and the others, and exclaimed: "Qin army ......"

"Oops!"

"I've been discovered, let's go!"

Geng Wu and Zhang Tang exclaimed at the same time.

They immediately retreated to the mountains.

The Zhao army ambush soldiers under the mountain heard the movement here and quickly killed them.

The distance between the two sides soon narrowed.

"Bow and crossbow!"

Geng Wu snorted.

The sharps decisively raised their crossbows and shot down condescendingly.

Under the cover of the rain of arrows, many Zhao soldiers fell suddenly, but some people in the Zhao army soon raised their shields to catch up, and when they found that the Qin army only had 2,000 people, they felt that their opportunity had come, and all the more than 20,000 people in ambush chased and killed.

"Spread out!"

Zhang Tang shouted.

The 2,000 men quickly walked into the deep mountains, in groups of 20 people, led by two chiefs, which was the method they used to train in the Qinling Mountains.

As soon as they separated, Zhao Jun's goals were scattered.

Iron Eagle Warriors have experience fighting in the jungle, and the deeper they go into the jungle, the more advantageous it is.

On the contrary, the Zhao army is lacking in this regard, even if the Zhao army catches up, it is necessary to fight in close combat, and the Zhao army with a relatively large number of people suffers.

Geng Wu cut off a Zhao Jun's shield with a knife, killed people by the way, and led the people around him to retreat while killing.

The deeper you go into the mountains and forests, the more handy the Iron Eagle Ruishi becomes.

They had to sigh how good General Bai's training was at the beginning, if it wasn't for that trip to Qinling, they understood that there would not be many people who could escape today.

Zhao Jun was a little cowardly at this time, worried that he would be lured deeper, and worried that he was unfamiliar with the terrain and could not deal with the Qin army.

They soon left behind more than a thousand corpses and had to retreat.

Geng Wu and they saw that the enemy had retreated, and then gave the order to assemble and return, and no one was killed in this battle, but two were seriously wounded.

"What happened?"

Meng Tian is also in charge of the south side, but it is not the same as their location.

He couldn't find out the news, and he got the news that Bai Zhong was going to retreat, and he happened to meet Geng Wu and the others.

Geng Wu was ashamed and said: "It was discovered, but it's not a big problem, let's go back to see the general first." ”

They took the wounded and quickly walked out of the woods.
