That night, Qin General Wang Jian ordered the Iron Eagle Army to leave the camp quietly, and with the help of the hazy moonlight, they arrived at the temporary Wei camp of the Yanling Army not far away.
The sound of thousands of Iron Eagle troops dispatching together was like an earthquake, and of course it couldn't be hidden from the soldiers of Yanling who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
Before the Yanling Army's commander Qu Cheng gave the order, the Yanling Army's non-commissioned officers and generals ordered their soldiers to prepare to prevent the Qin Army's night attack. This reaction speed made the soldiers of the Dangshan Army feel admired - it is worthy of their praise.
It is the army that followed His Royal Highness King Su in the southern and northern wars.
Soon after, there were loud noises and shouts of killing outside the Yanling Army's temporary Wei camp. The Wei soldiers were startled and subconsciously clenched their weapons in preparation for the upcoming night attack.
But the strange thing is that the Qin army's cavalry only thundered but did not rain. They shouted outside the Wei army camp for a long time, but they did not actually attack the Wei camp at night.
Even after a while, no sound was heard anymore.
The officers and soldiers of the Yanling Army waited patiently for a long time and saw no attack by the Qin army, so they went back to their tents to rest. The soldiers whose turn was not in the tents continued to nap around the campfire.
However, after waiting for a moment, the roar of galloping horses was suddenly heard outside the camp again, so Yanling's soldiers had to get up again and participate in setting up defenses.
But as a result, this time the Qin army's cavalry still made thunder but no rain, as if they were just keen to stir up trouble and make it difficult for the Wei army to sleep.
"what the hell?"
Even Qu Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Yanling Army, was confused by those Iron Eagle Cavalry.
"Could it be a strategy to exhaust the troops?" Sun Shuke, the general of the third battalion of the Yanling Army, guessed.
Several generals of the Wei army gathered together for a discussion and felt that Sun Shuke's guess was reasonable.
However, although it is believed that the Qin army's cavalry is adopting a strategy of exhausting the troops, this does not mean that the Wei army generals can rest assured and let the soldiers rest in peace - what if the Qin army's cavalry uses a trick of virtuality and reality?
"Let me lead the troops to fight, otherwise, I don't know when Wang Jian's tricks will stop." Le Kui, the general of the Dangshan Army, asked Qu Cheng for help.
Although Le Kuang is not a subordinate of Qu Cheng, according to the rules of the Wei army, when neither King Su Zhao Hongrun nor General Sima An is here, Qu Cheng, the general who is higher than the other generals, should temporarily serve as the general.
The commander-in-chief of the local battlefield.
Facing Le Kuang's invitation, Qu Cheng shook his head.
The reason for the rejection was simple: Le Kui had only a thousand or so Dangshan cavalry, and God knows how many Qin cavalry were outside the camp. If Rou Baozi beat the dog and never came back, how would Qu Cheng explain to Sima An in the future?
After hearing Qu Cheng's reasons for rejecting Le Kui, Ke Lidan, the captain of the Jijiao Army, also asked Qu Cheng for a military tassel and expressed his willingness to fight with Le Kui.
It can be seen that in the past two days before the Yanling army arrived, the Jiejiao cavalry was beaten to a pulp by the Qin Iron Eagle Army, and the captain of ten thousand was simmering with anger.
But even so, Qu Cheng still refused to send troops because he could not guess what Qin General Wang Jian wanted to do.
After thinking about it, Qu Cheng smiled and said to the generals: "It doesn't matter. If Wang Jian wants to harass our soldiers to rest, let him go. Sun Shuke, you increase the number of soldiers on the defensive, and order half of the soldiers to keep watch and half to rest... I
The number of our troops is greater than that of Wang Jian’s army, so he wants to harass our soldiers by using tactics that will only backfire."
It must be said that Qu Cheng's judgment was very wise. Under the premise of not knowing exactly what was going on outside the camp, his arrangement was indeed the safest.
Anyway, as Qu Cheng said, there are more Wei troops than Wang Jian's troops in the nearby area. If Wang Jian insists on letting thousands of Iron Eagle troops harass Wei Jun to rest all night, then according to Qu Cheng's response strategy, Wei Jun can still dispatch half of the energetic troops tomorrow.
Soldiers, and the Iron Eagle Army under Wang Jian may not have the physical strength to fight anymore.
Therefore, Qu Cheng didn't take it to heart at all about Qin General Wang Jian's trick.
As Qu Cheng expected, the Iron Eagle Army under Wang Jian had been wandering around the periphery of the temporary Wei camp for a long time, making noise at intervals. However, around the time of Yin Shi, the outside of the camp suddenly became quiet, as if
All the Iron Eagles were gone.
Qu Cheng felt baffled by this, and couldn't figure out why Qin General Wang Jian went crazy. He called the Iron Eagle Army to harass him in the middle of the night, and finally ran away without doing anything.
Just when Qu Cheng was puzzled about the solution, he suddenly heard that some soldiers under his command came to report that there was fire in the distance.
After hearing the news, Qu Cheng left his tent and climbed up to take a look. Sure enough, he saw a fire rising to the sky in the west, which seemed to be quite large.
"That's... Jianbei Military Camp?"
Qu Cheng narrowed his eyes, and after muttering a few words to himself, he suddenly frowned and said in annoyance: "Damn it! Wang Jian ran away!"
His words made the nearby Wei generals look at each other: How can you conclude that Wang Jian ran away?
However, Qu Cheng had no intention of explaining. After taking a few breaths in frustration, he said: "Forget it, our army has blocked his way back anyway. The best he can do is to escape into Xiong'er Mountain and wait for dawn."
, our army will take our time to figure it out." After that, he turned to Sun Shuke and said: "Remove half of the night watch soldiers and let them rest. The Qin army should not come again."
Sun Shuke seemed to have guessed something and nodded.
After waiting for two hours, the sky became slightly brighter. The unbelieving general of the Dangshan Army, Le Kui, led hundreds of his cavalry to leave the camp to investigate. Sure enough, they found that the Jianbei Army Camp had been reduced to ruins. Wang Jian's Iron Eagle Army and the Ling tribe
The soldiers and horses have disappeared.
At this time, Le Kui believed Qu Cheng's previous judgment: last night, Wang Jian's Iron Eagle Army was not doing anything to weaken the troops, but to cover up the evacuation of the Ling tribe soldiers in the Jianbei military camp towards Xiong'er Mountain.
After all the soldiers of the Ling tribe retreated to Xiong'er Mountain, the Tie Ying Army naturally no longer needed to entangle with the Wei army, so they simply left.
After realizing this, both Le Qu and the two captains of the Jiejiao Cavalry would feel very sorry for missing this opportunity.
But Qu Cheng didn't see it that way, because he didn't think it was a good opportunity.
After all, the Iron Eagle Army under Wang Jian was the elite of the Qin Army. In a fight with such elite cavalry in the dark, even the Yanling Army had little chance of winning.
In contrast, he was more inclined to let Wang Jian lead the crowd to escape into Xiong'er Mountain.
Although this move may make the Wei army have to spend more time to attack Wang Jian's enemy, on the other hand, the Qin Ling coalition cavalry under Wang Jian can be considered useless - Xiong'er Mountain is a suitable home for cavalry operations.
What?
In the mountainous and forested areas, that is the world of infantry!
However, why did Wang Jianjun give up the siege of Sima An for no reason and choose to lead his army to escape into Xiong'er Mountain?
Qu Cheng thought about it and could only come up with one guess: Qin General Wang Jian's plan to surround and kill Wei General Sima An was completely finished.
And what does this mean?
Qu Cheng couldn't imagine it - could the Jie tribe be attacked and destroyed by General Sima An?
At noon on the second day of October, Ji Yan, another battalion general of the Dangshan Army's hunting cavalry battalion, took Sima An's order and the great news, led more than a thousand Dangshan Army cavalry, came out of the narrow valley of Yangchang, and met with Qu Cheng's
The armies converge.
When Ji Yan told Qu Cheng, Sun Shuke and others that the Jie tribe had been conquered and destroyed by General Sima An, the Wei soldiers present gasped.
Being surrounded by enemies from both sides, he took the lead in attacking and killed half of the Jie tribe's population, causing the Qin general Wang Jian to fall back and be surrounded by the Wei army. Looking at the entire Wei state, how many people can do this?
Even Qu Cheng, whose status is not much lower than Sima An, can't help but sigh with sincerity at this moment: He is worthy of being General Sima An!
"What are the instructions from the general?" After sighing with emotion, Qu Cheng asked Ji Yan politely and humbly.
He was impressed by Sima An.
Although both of them are the commanders of the same army, it is obvious that Sima An can take charge of the situation on his own and turn the tide, while Qu Cheng is still a little behind this level.
Hearing Qu Cheng's inquiry, Ji Yan also said respectfully: "The general is currently stationed in the Luonan Basin Valley and is counting the sheep of the Jie tribe... Last night he saw a fire rising to the sky in the north of Jian. The general guessed that this place must be
Reinforcements arrived, so Wang Jian did not dare to fight the enemy, so he retreated into Xiong'er Mountain and ordered me to come and join the reinforcements."
With that said, Ji Yan informed Qu Cheng of Sima An's order.
There are only two simple things. One is to quickly send someone to report the good news to His Highness Prince Su, so that His Highness Prince Su will not worry about it. The other is to order Qu Cheng to take charge of the Lu family and Jianbei, and be responsible for killing people who escaped into Xiong'er Mountain.
Wang Jian's army and the army of the Ling tribe.
Seeing the surprised expression on Qu Cheng's face, Ji Yan said with a smile: "The general said that the only reinforcement that can make Qin General Wang Jian feel the pressure is the Yanling Army. If General Qu does not come in person, it is General Yan Moyan...
"
"Where does the general's words put our general Sun Shuke (Ke)?" Qu Cheng joked about his general Sun Shuke, which aroused good-natured laughter from the Wei generals nearby.
But deep down in his heart, Qu Cheng admired Sima An more and more: Sima An was really an outstanding commander. No wonder His Highness King Su tried his best to portray this general as a hero.
It has to be said that the morale of the Wei army was greatly boosted due to Sima An's clever strategy of attacking the Jie tribe and allowing the Qin general Wang Jian to rebel and surround them.
However, what made Qu Cheng feel embarrassed was that he had just received an order from Sima An and was preparing to encircle and suppress Wang Jian's forces in Xiong'er Mountain as the commander of the battlefield. Unexpectedly, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun actually led the army back to the Lu family.
, Hengjian area.
After learning about this, Qu Cheng and others immediately went to pay homage to Su Wang Zhao Hongrun.
After hearing that General Sima An had rescued the siege on his own, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun was also dumbfounded.
You know, he asked his soldiers to march quickly to help, but the result was not good, and they couldn't even clean the battlefield.
"If I had known this, why would the king be traveling so hard! ...Forget it, Qu Cheng, you will be responsible for encircling and suppressing Wang Jian's army here, and I will return to Hangu."
Zhao Hongrun pretended to be angry and made all the Wei generals present burst into laughter.
At this time, the people of the Ling tribe on Xiong'er Mountain also noticed that King Su Zhao Hongrun had returned with his army, which made the leader of the Ling tribe, Actun, feel his heart sink to the bottom.
Instead of waiting for reinforcements from the Qin army, the main force led by Wei Gongzi Run arrived. Now there are more than 200,000 Wei troops stationed in the Luonan Basin Valley, Yangchang Narrow Valley, Hengjian, and Lu's area adjacent to Xiong'er Mountain.
, is there any worse situation than this?
After thinking for a long time, Actun sent two of his confidants to contact the Wei army privately, hoping that in exchange for surrendering to Wei, Zhao Hongrun would forgive their Ling tribe.
However, after Zhao Hongrun listened to the words of the two Ling tribe members, he immediately ordered the execution of the two Ling tribe members to sacrifice the flag.
Those who obey will prosper, and those who rebel will perish! Since we are enemies of Wei, we must be mentally prepared to exterminate the nation.
In today's Sanchuan territory, Zhao Hongrun no longer needs to win over anyone!
The only thing left is to establish your authority!
