Chapter 184: Ambush
The second day of the capture of Boyi.
After Zhao Tuo left a soldier to guard here, he led his army on the road to Shan Father.
According to the system commonly used by the Qin army, when marching, it was generally divided into several positions, such as the Xing army, the heel army, the division and the army.
But this time, Zhao Tuo's troops were only 5,000 people, which was not a lot.
In addition, on the way from Boyi to Shanfu, there were no other cities that needed to be attacked, so Zhao Tuo only arranged a hundred-man team on each side of the army to guard and garrison, and did not divide the troops too much.
At the same time, Zhao Tuo merged the Xingjun Army and the Heel Army, and unified it with 1,000 people from the Shijian Division.
First, Shiruma has a calm personality and is more secure as a striker. The second is that he has served as Zhao Tuo's forward Xingjun many times, and he is more experienced than the generals.
In this way, Zhao Tuo's army was divided into three parts.
At the forefront were a thousand men led by Shiruma, who were tasked with finding the way and keeping guard.
Ten miles away from the Shima Department, there was an army of nearly 4,000 people led by Zhao Tuo.
In the rear of the army, there were hundreds of Qin soldiers and conscripted men who were responsible for escorting heavy grain and straw.
Between the three armies, there were often cavalry exchanges, which were responsible for delivering news.
Under such a marching array, the Qin army marched continuously for several days, and on the ninth day after leaving the county, it was already less than forty miles away from the county seat of Shanfu, and in two days at most, they could reach the city of Shanfu.
"Two or five hundred lords, our army found the Wei cavalry, about ten people."
Hearing the report of his subordinates, Shima raised his eyebrows, as he got closer and closer to the single father city, he encountered more and more Wei cavalry on the road, and the frequency became more and more frequent.
These should be the rangers sent by Ning Lingjun in the single father city to investigate the military situation.
These Wei cavalry were like loaches, slippery, only from a distance, watching the troops in the wafer.
Once the cavalry of the Qin army stepped forward, they did not fight, they turned around and ran, which was very difficult to catch.
Shima can't do anything about these guys, he sent cavalry to chase these Wei troops, if there are fewer people sent, then they can't beat the other party.
If there are more cavalry sent, and you are afraid that the other party is bait, there are more people in the rear, and you will swallow the cavalry you sent in one gulp. And in that case, you will be led by the other party.
"Leave them alone, just open the way with sentry horses and keep the marching array. If you encounter mountains, forests and valleys ahead, you must send people to investigate carefully to prevent ambushes. ”
"Yui."
Shima gave the order, he decided not to care about those cavalry, these people can see whatever they want, his army is the vanguard of pathfinding, nothing important.
He only had to carry out his task and investigate all the places along the way where the ambush might be buried, so as to ensure the safety of the rear army and baggage troops.
……
In a dense forest more than 30 miles away from the city of single fathers.
Wei Qi's face was full of anxiety, looking at the strategist Hou Shu and the general Zhu Bi on the side, and asked: "Then the vanguard of the Qin army is so careful, and all the dense forests and valleys where he has passed, and when he arrives here, as soon as he investigates the mountains and forests, our whereabouts will inevitably be revealed, what can we do?" ”
Hou Shu looked embarrassed, he was full of wisdom when he was in the city of single fathers, and the clever ideas in his head kept popping up one after another.
But when he really began to enter the execution level, Hou Shu found that this ambush strategy was really not so useful, especially when he encountered a pioneer of the Qin army who was so serious about exploring the way.
Damn, why didn't the Qin people choose a reckless man to be the vanguard!
According to the discussion between him and Wei Qi and others, he was going to let this Qin army go east first. Then ambush the Qin army in the rear, directly attack the commander of the Qin army, if the Qin army can be beheaded in the chaos, this battle will be considered a victory.
But according to the situation in front of them, this Qin army of 1,000 people will definitely explore the mountains, forests and valleys all the way, and when they get here, the whereabouts of the Wei army will definitely be revealed, and it will be impossible to ambush the Qin army at that time.
"Since the ambush can't be attacked, why don't you go back to the city, fortify the city and defend it, and then find an opportunity to break the enemy?"
Wei Ji said with a tangled face, he had been frightened by the Qin army in several battles, and he couldn't help but get anxious when he saw that the ambush strategy might not work.
Zhu Bi shouted: "Don't be afraid, Childe, since we can't ambush the Qin army, then let's swallow this thousand-strong Qin army vanguard first!" ”
Hou Shu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right, if you can't ambush the Qin Central Army, you will ambush this thousand-strong Qin army." Hehe, ambush him with our strength of six thousand men. Under the surprise attack, the Qin people will definitely be defeated, and with six to one, An can not win? ”
"We can easily swallow the vanguard of the Qin army. In this way, you can bring the power of a great victory and then face the Qin army in the rear. At that time, it will be 6,000 to 4,000, and it will be used to wait for the Wei soldiers who have just won a big victory, and against the Qin army that has just suffered a big defeat after a long journey, this battle will definitely be won! ”
Hearing the plans of his advisers and generals, Wei Ji's confidence rose again.
Yes, although the situation has changed, it is still beneficial to their own side, six thousand to one thousand, they will definitely be able to eat this Qin army vanguard!
"In that case, it will be up to the two of them."
Wei Ji nodded in agreement.
……
"Two or five hundred lords, there is a forest in front of you, and the forest is dense and wide."
"Well, send someone in and investigate."
Shima didn't think much about it, and along the way, there were many places in the dense forest valley they passed, and they didn't find any problems.
After receiving the order to investigate, there was a Qin army in front of him to enter the forest, and the follow-up Qin army continued to walk on the road without delay.
"Are those Wei rangers still there?"
Shiruma casually asked the short soldier general beside him.
The short soldier of the hundred generals hurriedly patted his horse forward, and after a while, he came back and reported: "Two or five hundred lords, there is no Wei cavalry in front of you." ”
Shima was originally a casual question, but when he heard the answer, he was surprised.
Because all the way over, those Wei cavalry were all watching from afar, always probing their own march, although they were often driven away by their own cavalry, but after a while, they would stick up like kraft candy. Now I haven't found any of them, which makes people feel unusual.
At this time, the Qin army in charge of exploring the forest had dispersed into the forests on both sides, and most of the Qin army also embarked on the road between the forests.
Shiruma's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
The 100 generals didn't know what their two or five hundred masters were thinking, and after looking around, they exclaimed, "Hey, there are so many birds in these forests." ”
This sentence woke up Shima instantly.
When he looked up, he saw a flock of birds flying in the dense forest on both sides, hovering and hovering.
"The art of war is cloudy, and the trees move, come; Those who have many obstacles are suspicious; Bird Riser, Fuya! ”
"Oh no, there's an ambush here!"
Shibuya's eyes widened sharply, and he shouted at the soldiers around him: "Quickly form a formation, raise a shield to defend!" ”
At the same time, in the forest where the Qin army who had just explored the forest entered, there were also bursts of screams.
"Wei Jun!"
"There is Wei Jun in the forest!"
In an instant, countless Wei soldiers emerged from the dense forest......
Thank you for the swift tipping in the storm, and the votes of all book friends, thank you!
