The 50,000-strong army that Xiong Qi gave to Tianze was not in Shouchun, but in distant Gumi. Therefore, no one noticed the mobilization of this army.
No one in the whole world even remembers that there is such a large army in the southernmost part of Chu State.
At this time, Jin Yao had no idea that Chu State had already devoted all its efforts to deal with Longcheng.
Anlu, Qin army camp.
Jin Yao frowned. He tried several attacks, but the Shadow Tiger Legion finally showed the strength and qualifications of the four major legions of Chu State.
If a small force attacks, the Shadow Tiger Legion will attack. If a large army presses forward, they will retreat.
However, they would not retreat directly. Instead, they would continue to cause trouble and harass the rear of the army, without giving the army a chance to advance at full strength.
In this way, even if Jin Yao leads his army to Dragon City, it will take several months. And even if he successfully reaches Dragon City, he will not be able to join the battle immediately. He will have to rest on the spot before rejoining the battle.
.
"Who the hell taught him to fight like this!" Jin Yao was distressed in the military tent.
You have an army of 50,000, mostly cavalry, so why don’t you dare to go head-on? Do you know that the fight is so greasy?
They had an advantage in numbers and types of troops, and they actually used guerrilla tactics.
"I'm afraid the order Ji Bu got was just to hold us back!" Baili Yun said in a low voice.
Yes, it was Baili Yun. After the crowning ceremony, he relied on his thick skin to finally entangle Jin Yao and follow the Qin army to aid Dragon City.
Jin Yao naturally knew why Ji Bu did what he did. Xiang Yan's military order to Ji Bu might have been to sneak around and attack Dragon City at first, but after encountering him, the order naturally became to entangle him.
"Do you really think you can trap me like this?" Jin Yao sneered. The Chu State might have forgotten how the rebels provoked them to fight the Qin State, and how they parachuted into Jiujiang.
"Everyone, break them into pieces and sneak into the mountains and forests. The destination is Dragon City!" Jin Yao sneered.
The rebels never knew where they were going, and no one organized how to get there. Someone just told them where their destination was, and then they arrived spontaneously.
Now Jin Yao wants to do the same thing, break the Qin army into pieces and rush to Dragon City from the mountains and forests.
As for the mountains and forests without roads? That doesn't exist. So many rebels and people migrating from Longcheng have passed through, and the mountains and forests can open up several roads.
A large army may not be able to go through these roads, but a small group of troops broken into parts can go at will.
If even the old, weak, women and children who migrated to Dragon City can walk, but the elite of Qin cannot walk, then they are not worthy of being called elite.
"But what if the other party suddenly attacks the camp?" Feng Zhe looked at Jin Yao hesitantly.
"He doesn't have the courage!" Jin Yao said coldly.
Feng Jing was still a little worried, but he also knew that he was just starting out, and no matter how much he learned from his father, he would still not be as good as Jin Yao, who was already successful and famous, so he did not refute again.
Jin Yao parked his army outside Anlu City and set up camp. He built a tall arrow tower and a black dragon banner was also erected in the camp.
"Who is Mr. Long?" Ji Bu, who had already occupied Anlu, was a little puzzled when he saw the Qin army setting up camp on the spot.
"Report, the Qin army's camp has erected a black dragon banner!" the scout quickly reported.
"Whose family emblem is under the banner of Dahu?" Ji Bu asked hurriedly, probably thinking of something.
"It's Feng Ziqi!" The scout thought for a while and replied decisively.
"Sure enough!" Ji Bu finally understood that Long Jun saw that the army could not move forward, so he went on the road alone and rushed back to Longcheng, leaving the Qin army to confront him here.
"General, do you want to attack?" The deputy general also thought about it with Ji Bu, so he asked.
Ji Bu shook his head and said, "Soldiers, there are deceitful tactics! Who can guarantee that this is not Long Jun's trick to create suspicion and lure himself into the trap? If Long Jun did it deliberately, once we fight the Qin army, Long Jun will appear in front of the army.
Do you have half a chance of winning?"
The deputy general also fell silent, or perhaps he was afraid of being beaten.
Even if they have an advantage in numbers and types of troops, it still depends on who the opponent is.
If it were commanded by Lord Long, they wouldn't think they could win, or even be wiped out again!
"I would rather do nothing than make a mistake! Shouchun already has a lot of opinions on us continuing to be in charge of the Shadow Tiger Army. If we continue to make mistakes and lead to defeat, you should know the consequences!" Ji Bu said seriously.
Anyway, the order he got was to drag the Qin army here, and he didn't need to win the opponent. He even said that because he knew that the opponent's general was Long Jun, Xiang Yan didn't think they could win at all, so he sent the Qin army and Long Jun.
Xiang Yan's only request is that you keep him in check here.
As time passed day by day, the last garrison guard in the Qin army's camp also evacuated. Taking advantage of the night, they walked on the mountain road trodden by the former army, bypassed Anlu, and headed straight for Dragon City.
And because they abandoned their baggage and left only three days of rations, their marching speed was much faster than that of the army.
If a large army moves forward, even if it is a rapid march, it can only travel up to thirty miles per day. However, after being transformed into a small army, their daily marching speed is determined by their own footsteps.
Moreover, they only have three days of food rations. If they cannot reach Dragon City, they will starve.
So in order to eat well and eat well, I naturally rushed towards Dragon City with all my strength.
Jin Yao, who was one step ahead, had already arrived at Dragon City with his guards, quietly waiting for the Qin army officers to arrive.
"Break it into pieces and bypass Anlu?" Wu Rui and Chen Xian were also shocked when they heard what Jin Yao said. They were afraid of Jin Yao's boldness. If after they were broken into pieces, Ji Bu suddenly attacked
camp, the losses would be extremely heavy.
After just waiting for a few days and watching small groups of troops arrive at Dragon City and gather together, Wu Rui and Chen Xian had to admit that this strategy was effective. At least they now had three more troops.
The elites from Wan Qin Kingdom arrived.
"There is something wrong with the number of people. Your Majesty said there were only 30,000, but the last army from the rear arrived. I counted the number of people, and it turned out that there were more than 70,000!" Chen Xian said, looking at the roster in his hand.
"Where did the extra 40,000 people come from?" Wu Rui was also stunned.
Chen Xian looked at the military roster in his hand and saw that everyone who was supposed to be there was here. But why did he become a centurion with hundreds of people when he came back?
"You guys..." Jin Yao looked at Feng Jing and Baili Yun, and he was a little confused. When we were separated, you were just very young. Centurion, why did you give me twice as much when you came back?
people?
"Your Majesty, you said, if you can lead a team, you will be a team leader, and if you can lead a team, you will be a team leader. So on the road, I met many refugees who came to Longcheng, and they went to choose them themselves.
I found the right people and brought them with me!" Baili Yun said with a wink.
