Outside the reed swamp, the Wei army was still very vigilant at first, but when it was time to eat, the scouts also relaxed.
No one would have thought that Zhao Guoguo would set up an ambush only half a day away from Yecheng, instead of just out of Neihuang.
Normally speaking, when Zhao is attacking Yecheng, the first choice to prevent Neihuang from sending troops to help is to block it outside Neihuang City. After all, Neihuang's urgent march from Neihuang to Yecheng is only a day and a half.
】
"Brother Situ, don't you think it's too quiet?" Liu Ji and Situ Wanli were also arranged by Xue Gong to go with the army this time.
But looking at the silence of the reed marsh, Liu Ji felt his eyelids jump.
"It's too quiet. It would be great if there were a few more singers to sing and dance!" Situ Wanli smiled playfully.
"No, I mean this reed swamp is too quiet. Normally there should be wild geese flying down, but now the wild geese are flying in the sky and never want to fall down!" Liu Ji said, looking at the group of wild geese hovering in the sky and refusing to fall down.
"You mean there will be an ambush in this reed swamp?" Situ Wanli smiled and shook his head.
"This reed bush is only half the height of a person, so it's only that big. How can it hide people?"
"Maybe I'm too..." Before Liu Ji could finish his words, he suddenly saw a light of armor in the reeds.
"There is an ambush, there is an ambush, hurry up, defend, defend!" Liu Ji shouted hurriedly.
"Kill!" Unfortunately, Jin Yao didn't give him a chance. When Liu Ji discovered that the wild geese were still missing, Jin Yao also discovered it, so he decisively chose to attack the camp.
"Swish, swish, swish~" The clumps of reeds were thrown away, and Zhao soldiers dressed in white climbed up from the reeds and charged towards the Wei army camp.
Because they were too close, the Wei army rested temporarily along the road and had no time to set up camp. Now they had no time to defend themselves. They saw a man holding a long sword suddenly emerge from the reeds around him and charge fiercely.
The soldiers, with their faces covered in mud to prevent mosquito bites, looked like evil spirits emerging from the ground.
"Tick-tick-tock-tick~" the charge horn sounded, and the Zhao soldiers rushed towards the Wei army like a chicken blood.
The Zhao State imitated the Qin State's reforms and achieved military merit. To the soldiers of the Zhao State, what they saw in front of them was not people, but walking military merits one by one!
And who are they? Zhao's most elite imperial army, the Royal City Guards, can they still lose against a county soldier?
"Run!" Situ Wanli immediately pulled Liu Ji and chose to run away.
As for organizing a counterattack, it doesn't exist. The Wei army's camp was so long that it was cut off by the opponent's surprise attack from the middle, and they took the lead to counterattack!
Moreover, if you go any slower, you will really die!
Liu Ji and Situ Wanli didn't dare to turn back until they had run two miles away. If they had been slower, they would have become hedgehogs.
Zhao Jun's ambush, as soon as the trumpet sounded, a hail of arrows covered the Chinese army's banner, and they happened to be under the Chinese army's banner.
If I had reacted slower, I would have died without even knowing how!
"It's so scary! Brother Situ saved my life again!" Liu Ji was also a little scared. If Situ Wanli hadn't pulled him out and escaped immediately when the arrows were covering him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have stepped on the stars and he would have been shot directly.
The sky is full of stars.
"It's better that you remind me quickly, otherwise I won't have time to react!" Situ Wanli turned around and looked at the collapsed official roads with shouts of killing everywhere. He shook his head. Without Liu Ji's reminder, he would not have had time to react.
"Those two guys run pretty fast!" Jin Yao and the red-haired God Killer also saw Liu Ji and Situ Wanli who fled immediately.
"Do you want to catch up and kill me?" the red-haired killer asked with a smile.
"Forget it!" Jin Yao shook his head, their target was this army, there was no need to chase these escaped masters.
The Wei army did not have time to organize a counterattack, and the command of the Chinese army was immediately covered by a rain of arrows. At that time, almost all the generals and commanders were gathered under the banner, and almost no one could escape.
"Put down your weapons, hold your head with your hands, and squat on the spot. Those who surrender will not be killed!" Jin Yao shouted with the order.
"lay down your weapon!"
"Hold your head with your hands!"
"Stay where you are!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Zhao Jun also roared one after another.
After the Wei army was defeated by a surprise attack, they originally wanted to flee, but when they heard the sound coming from their ears, they thought it was Zhao Jun chasing after them. Then they instinctively put down their weapons and squatted down with their hands on their heads.
On the ground.
When they realized that Zhao Jun was still far away, and when they wanted to get up, they saw the cavalry chasing after them, so they squatted down again after standing up, holding their heads in their hands.
"Don't let any defeated troops go, and don't let anyone escape!" Jin Yao ordered again.
"Is this really good?" Bingbai Shensha was speechless.
This is in the territory of Wei State. Are you not afraid of death if you arrest people so brazenly?
"What are you afraid of? Even if you catch up to the foot of Yecheng, Yecheng's army should still open the city gate and come out?" Jin Yao said disdainfully.
The State of Zhao, like the State of Chu, is vast and sparsely populated. The most lacking thing is people. It was already big enough, but now that there is an extra piece of grassland, the people are even more insufficient!
So, merit for killing someone? No, no, capturing someone is a greater military merit than killing someone!
As a result, the Zhao soldiers who were still killing immediately changed from killing to hunting down defeated troops and prisoners.
"What is the Kingdom of Zhao?" Liu Ji and Situ Wanli, who had escaped from Erli again, were dumbfounded.
They were frantically chased by a cavalry squad. Even though they escaped four miles away, the other party actually gave up tracking.
Only when they turned around did they realize that Zhao soldiers were capturing prisoners all over the mountains and plains!
"The battle lasted only half an hour, but it took half a day and a whole night to arrest people!" The ice-white God Killer and the red-haired God Killer returned to the military camp, both complaining.
Killing is very easy, just one blow, and there is almost no chance of a second blow, but capturing a prisoner is much more troublesome. You have to tie up the prisoner, put your own mark on it, and then chase the next one.
"How many were caught?" Jin Yao also asked, rubbing his eyebrows.
He didn't expect that catching prisoners would be so troublesome. It was much more difficult than killing people. Some of the troops even chased them without knowing where they were.
"Nima~ You must be sick. You don't even look where we are and are still chasing you!" Liu Ji and Situ Wanli wanted to cry. They thought they were safe after escaping four miles away, so they planned to take a look at Zhao Guo's territory.
Who knows what the next move will be, the lucky ones will encounter the same cavalry squad that was chasing them before.
The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Therefore, the cavalry squad felt that this was a military merit forced upon them by God. They encountered these two guys again and again, and they would feel sorry for themselves if they did not pursue them.
The cavalry team looked at the tall city walls of Yecheng, then looked at Liu Ji and Situ Wanli.
"If you can't get it, destroy it!" The team leader raised his crossbow and fired directly at Liu Ji and Situ Wanli.
"Hold the grass~scumbag!" Liu Ji and Situ Wanli hurriedly waved their weapons to block the flying crossbow arrows.
