Chapter 525 Slaughtering Chickens with Knives
Song Xin led 100,000 horses and quietly surrounded Gao Song's 1,000 people, but they were not discovered, which was all due to Huo Meng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the people in this area are the Huo family, and Huo Meng is not only the county commander of Huowang County, but also the head of the Huo family.
After he got the news, he mobilized his clansmen to cooperate with the officials and monitored Shangrao Valley, and the people working in the mountains were actually Huo Meng's eyes.
In fact, Gao Song failed to find Xia Jun, which was also caused by the fact that they did not send scouts.
After all, they are Qin people, and they are very different from the locals, plus these soldiers are full of a strong bloody murderous aura, they can be detected from afar, so they are exposed, so they did not send scouts, but just sent some sentry agents outside the camp, and ordered someone to approach them, whether they were found or not, they were all killed.
But I don't know what's going on, but no one has approached here for two days.
Seeing that the fields are bare, they will also know, the dealer is finished, who still walks in the field.
However, in the distance, there are old farmers farming, as if they are harvesting autumn vegetables and sowing autumn wheat.
If they don't come closer, they don't bother.
At noon that day, the sentinel discovered the honor guard of the monarch of Xia on the official road.
In fact, Zhang Xian's honor guard was too shabby, one chariot walked in front, two box cars behind, and 3,000 cavalry guards, but there were a lot of flags, hulala and waving in the wind.
It stands to reason that Zhang Xian should have at least one chariot, but Zhang Xian felt that although the thing was comfortable to sit on and quite magnificent, it was too slow to move and a waste of people and horses.
Gao Song's sentry looked at it for a long time, but did not find the person in the portrait.
"Is it in the middle of those two box cars?"
One of them asked his companion next to him.
"No, the cart seems to be closed, and people don't suffocate when they sit in it. β
Although it was late autumn, the weather in Jiangnan was still very hot, especially at noon, if people sat in the box car, even the monks could not enjoy it.
"Not to mention that he is injured, it is possible to hide there to recuperate, you see the top of the cart, the skylight is open. β
Because Shangrao Valley was burned by Zhang Xian's fire, although many trees have grown now, but they are all very small, there is no way, these two people found a slightly higher place to lie on the grass and thorns and look at the official road.
The terrain is not high, and I don't dare to stand up, so I didn't see a sunroof on the box car at first, but later I found that there was a wooden plank-like thing erected on it, and then I deduced that it might be a sunroof cover.
"Well, it should be in those two box cars, go back and report. β
This place is too close to the official road, Zhang Xian's horse team is approaching, the two dare not take it here, since they found out that Zhang Xian's honor guard is coming, and they feel that Zhang Xian is likely to recuperate in the box car, even if they have found the target, they don't need to observe.
The two quietly retreated.
And Zhang Xian, who was sitting in Liu Yong's chariot, pouted sarcastically.
"It's really a coincidence, they are hiding in the place where Zhao Wu used to hide, behind the earth mountain, there are about a thousand people.
Ordered Song Xin to act after a quarter of an hour, not to fight them in close combat, and to use a bow and crossbow. β
Xiao Fei agreed to pass the decree.
Zhang Xian's divine sense first spotted the two sentinels and followed them to find the location of the ambush.
It would take less than two quarters of an hour for Zhang Xian to get into their best position for an ambush.
Although they were all horse teams, Zhang Xian was not in a hurry to go, so the speed of travel was not fast.
After a quarter of an hour, they were approaching Shangrao Valley, and if Song Xin's army appeared, these people would definitely go all out to kill him, because there was no army on Zhang Xian's side, only his three thousand guards.
Zhang Xian used 100,000 people to surround and kill these Qin people, which is indeed a bit of a big fuss, and it seems that he is slaughtering chickens with a knife.
But Zhang Xian has his own plans, normally speaking, these 100,000 Praetorian Guards are to protect him, he obviously doesn't want to be so extravagant, so he plans to let Song Xin lead the 100,000 Northern Army alone and participate in the fight against the Qin army, one is as a reinforcement, and the other is to practice in actual combat, and he also appreciates Song Xin's military talent, not only supporting the 100,000 troops on the front line, but also supporting a general with all-round civil and military talents.
Since this incident has been encountered, the Northern Army has also gone here, and it has been dealt with one by one, and Zhang Xian is also afraid that these people will run away and cause harassment to the rear, which will definitely be very destructive, and he would rather waste an operation of the Northern Army than annihilate these people.
An army of 100,000 encircled and suppressed a thousand people, even if you have one enemy and 100 people, I am afraid that it will be a tragedy.
Slaughter chickens with knives, fight quickly, and then rush to the front line quickly.
And Zhang Xian is young and aggressive after all, since the other party is coming to him, he wants to see and understand, so he explained to Song Xin in advance and left a way for them, which is the direction of Zhang Xian's coming, and he wants to meet them.
However, Liu Yong suggested that most of the people be eliminated first, leaving a few mental figures, and he also had itchy hands and fought with them.
Liu Yong was afraid that something would happen to Zhang Xian, so he had this flexibility, and Zhang Xian accepted it.
Gao Song saw the overwhelming Xia army appear, and surrounded them in an instant, and was dumbfounded and stunned.
Wang Kai was also surprised, but he turned to understand that the strange feeling he had in the past two days turned out to be like this, how could he forget the 100,000 army, the intelligence said that they went to Luokou City, and he thought that he really went to Luokou City, and ignored it.
"What should I do?"
Gao Song looked at Wang Kai, like grasping a life-saving straw, he knew that no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't break through among the 100,000 horses.
"Don't give the order for a raid like there yet. β
Wang Kai is not calm, and if he doesn't make a choice as soon as possible, the bows and crossbows of the Xia Dynasty army don't recognize people.
"Huh?" "Oh, I see.
What Wang Kai was referring to was the assault on Zhang Xian, and there were few people there in comparison.
And if the action is fast enough, as long as he gets close to Zhang Xian, Xia Jun will throw a mouse bogey, and he can't release arrows anymore.
In fact, Wang Kai also knew that this choice was not the best, since the Xia army surrounded them, it means that the people had already discovered them, and Zhang Xian swaggered over, there must have been preparations, or conspiracy.
But in the face of Xia Jun's bow and crossbow, he had to make this strategy.
But it's always a step slower, don't look at their quality is very good, but they can't run, and they can't avoid the overwhelming rainstorm of arrows.
In Shangrao Valley, the terrible screams drowned out the sound of the rain of arrows.
Song Xin didn't spread out all the people, but all the crossbowmen were pressed, some shield bearers and knife and axe hands, and the rest of the people lined up far away to prevent fish from slipping through the net.
After a rain of arrows, look at the camp of the Qin army, which turned into a forest of arrows.
And less than 100 people escaped this fate.
More than half of these 100 people had arrows stuck in their bodies to some extent.
These people ran in the direction of Zhang Xian, came to the official road, and roared with red eyes to kill Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian looked at Liu Yong.
"Haha, cut another stubbleγγγ"
