A sudden alarm alerted Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, Qin Shaojun and several Qin army generals who were warming themselves in the commander's tent.
"What happened?" When he saw a soldier barging in, even though Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi knew that the other party must have an urgent military report, he felt a little unhappy.
After all, he was just assigning tasks to the generals in the tent, and he didn't like others interrupting him.
However, the Qin soldier did not care whether Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi liked the commander or not. He knelt on the ground with an anxious look on his face and reported: "Your Majesty Gongsun, the Wei army is dispatching on a large scale!"
After hearing this, the generals of the Qin army such as Wang Lu and others in the tent stood up one after another and got ready to fight. Although the general strategy of Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi was to avoid a head-on fight with the Wei army, if the Wei army came over,
,he
Our Qin army has to resist at least, so we can't just abandon this camp without killing anything, right? Taking this opportunity to kill a few Wei soldiers to vent their anger, we can also vent our generals' "consecutive defeats" about our own army.
"The feeling of depression.
No, Wang Hao couldn't help but ask: "How many Wei soldiers attacked our camp?"
The soldier who came to report was stunned, and then shook his head and said: "No, sir, the Wei army did not attack our camp. They rode in a kind of chariot with horses, speeding across the snow, passing by.
Our military camp went westward..."
Before he finished speaking, a figure flashed beside the soldier. Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi who left the commander's tent without saying a word.
Seeing this, Qin Shaojun, Wang Lu and other generals of the Qin army hurriedly followed.
With this thought in his mind, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi walked quickly towards the camp gate through the snow.
Perhaps due to anxiety in his heart, as the commander of the first army, he did not care about the others running on the snow in the camp, which surprised the Qin soldiers who saw this scene: Lord Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi, who has always been steady,
There are times when I feel so anxious.
When Wu Xin Hou Gongsun got up and arrived at the watchtower near the camp gate, most of the Wei army's team of more than 10,000 horse-drawn sleighs and chariots had already left, leaving only a few thousand horse-drawn sleighs and chariots, which were leaving Tao.
The Qin soldiers from Lin Qin Camp passed by before their eyes and headed west.
Seeing this, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi's eyes widened.
To be fair, he had already guessed that the Wei army might run thousands of miles to attack Qin's homeland. However, the knowledge he had formed over the years made him subconsciously deny this judgment, because he could not imagine how the Wei army could survive in the cold.
In the winter, I ran long distances across the vast snowfields.
You must know that in winter, heavy snow blocks the road, making it impossible for vehicles and horses to pass. If the Wei army had adopted the method of walking, Gongsun Qi, the Marquis of Wuxin, would have no doubt that this would be a suicide attempt.
However, it turns out that Wei Gongzi Run slapped him hard and invented a weird chariot that had no wheels but could fly on the snow. It carried the Wei soldiers and disappeared from the Qin army in the blink of an eye.
in the eyes.
"Then...what the hell is it?"
Wuxinhou Gongsun Qi opened his mouth and watched in disbelief as the last group of Wei soldiers disappeared in front of them.
He couldn't understand: Why can a vehicle without wheels travel so fast on snow? Is it faster than a normal carriage on flat ground?
But at this moment, he could no longer think about this problem, because he realized that he was in great danger - he had allowed nearly 100,000 Wei soldiers, led by Wei Gongzi Run himself, to slip away under his nose.
What's even more terrible is that Wei Gongzi Run's nearly 100,000 Wei troops are rushing towards their Qin homeland at this moment.
After imagining the terrifying scene of a hundred thousand Wei troops invading Qin territory in his mind, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi was shocked, turned around and ordered: "Quick! The entire army retreats!"
The Qin soldiers in the camp did not dare to disobey at all, quickly packed up their luggage, carried their bags and heavy loads, and retreated westward through the thick snow.
However, the slippery road was so difficult to walk that the Qin soldiers walked on the slippery snow, and sometimes some fell to the ground, and the marching speed was excruciatingly slow.
Seeing the speed of movement of his troops, and then recalling the strange carriage that the Wei army rode on the snow, Gongsun Qi, the Marquis of Wuxin, couldn't help but tighten his grip on the horse's reins, his expression extremely ugly.
Even though he had already guessed that Wei Gongzi Run might attack Qin's homeland, he still allowed Wei Gongzi Run to succeed, just because he blindly believed that it was impossible for the Wei army to cross this frozen road unscathed.
This plain is more than 150 miles long.
Even Wu Xin Hou Gongsun Qi once speculated: Did Wei Gongzi Run know that Wei was doomed to fall when he knew that it was difficult to take care of both ends, so he gave up on himself, and then made the stupid decision to attack in winter?
But now, it turns out that it was not Wei Gongzi Run who was stupid, but his Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi - he underestimated him.
From the side, Qin General Wang Lu drove his horse to the side of Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi. He looked back at the stumbling Qin soldiers under his command and said with a wry smile: "With the speed of our army, I'm afraid we won't be able to return reinforcements in time..."
"Even if you can't make it in time, you have to hurry up!" Gongsun Qi, the Marquis of Wuxin, said in a deep voice while holding his riding whip.
At this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of frustration, because this was the second time he had fallen into the hands of Mr. Wei.
Let’s leave aside the failure of Changxinhou Wangjian to attack Wei general Sima An for the time being, because it was a wrong judgment made by Gongsun Qi before he really paid attention to Wei Gongzi Run’s opponent. However, on the narrow road to the west of Changhao Mountain, Wei Gongzi Run
Considering that he would pursue the Wei army twice and use the inscription "Marquis Wuxin of Qin died here" to scare him and hurriedly retreat, he felt a little frustrated.
Because the ingenious plan he came up with to "pursue the Wei army for the second time" was precisely calculated by Wei Gongzi Run. If Wei Gongzi Run hadn't rushed to support Sima An at that time and was unwilling to exchange one for the other, in fact, Wei Gongzi Run would have
His ability allowed him, the Marquis of Wuxin, Gongsun Qi, and his 20,000 soldiers to be wiped out in the narrow road of Mount Changhao.
What's even more incredible this time is that even though he knew that Wei Gongzi Run was preparing to attack Qin's homeland, he was able to easily break through the defense line. This made Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi feel a little confused - he clearly had no match for the opponent's strategy.
The military strategy is almost the same, so how could something like this happen?
While Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi was secretly blaming himself, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun was standing on the horse-drawn sleigh and laughing.
At this moment, Zhao Hongrun was very happy because he finally defeated Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi - although it was not a victory in war.
It has to be said that he was really frustrated when he was restrained by Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi's tactics a while ago, as if he had no strength but no use for it.
But this time, he finally let out a breath of bad breath.
After laughing for a while, Zhao Hongrun sat back on the carriage, wrapped in a sheepskin blanket and began to think.
In his opinion, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi had only two choices at the moment, either to quickly march eastward, capture Luocheng, or even further attack the Wei mainland; or to choose to return for reinforcements.
In fact, "returning reinforcements" was a very stupid decision, because the Qin army's marching speed could not keep up with the Wei army, so it was just following behind in vain.
However, Zhao Hongrun believed that Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi did not have the guts not to withdraw his troops to rescue his country. After all, nearly 100,000 Wei soldiers were enough to turn the Qin state upside down.
Of course, even if Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi chooses to return for reinforcements, he may not be able to keep up with the war in Qin's homeland - so there is no need to consider this Qin army for the time being.
About an hour later, the Wei army, which was marching very fast, encountered a Qin camp—it was the camp that Wu Xin Hou Gongsun Qi was planning to retreat to after abandoning the "Taolin Qin Camp".
Therefore, as the name suggests, there must be a lot of food and grass left in this Qin army camp with only a small garrison.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun stood up, stood on the sleigh, and pointed at the Qin camp in the distance.
Immediately, Nanmen Chi, deputy general of the merchant navy, led three sled teams of thousands of people, left the large team and drove towards the Qin camp.
Zhao Hongrun's large team, on the other hand, continued to move forward without stopping.
On the way forward, Zhao Hongrun heard the faint shouts of killing coming from the military camp. He was not worried about the three thousand people in the south gate, because he could determine that the Qin soldiers who stayed at the Qin camp
, not many.
After another two or three hours, the Wei army encountered another Qin camp.
There was no need for Zhao Hongrun to give orders. Xu Jiong, a 3,000-man general of the Shang Shui Army who had already accepted the order, led three 1,000-man detachments and left the main force to attack the Qin camp.
I believe that Wuxinhou Gongsun Qi will be furious when he learns about this in the future. The Qin army camps that he originally used to delay the Wei army turned into supply depots for the Wei army to obtain food, grass and baggage.
Gradually, the Wei army's large horse-drawn sleigh team lengthened.
There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, since Zhao Hongrun decided to march thousands of miles to the Qin mainland, he had to march in a hurry and could not care about the condition of the horses. As a result, more and more Wei army sleighs were forced to break away from the large team along the way.
Some of the horses were exhausted and could continue to pull the cart after resting for a while and feeding some fodder, while some of the horses simply died of exhaustion. Regarding these horses that died along the way, Zhao Hongrun was very cruel and let them serve as food for the Wei army.
After all, the army under his command is still very short of food.
As dusk approached, Zhao Hongrun ordered the entire army to rest where they were.
Under the command of the generals of the Wei army, the Wei soldiers put a wooden board upright, and a chariot that resembled a martial arts chariot and could be used to block the cold wind was formed.
Immediately, the Wei soldiers arranged the sleds in units of a hundred vehicles in a circle to form a small simple camp. Then they dug out the snow in the open space in the middle, lit several bonfires, and wrapped them in sheepskin blankets.
Spend the cold nights.
During this period, some Wei soldiers lamented and butchered batches of dead horses and made them into dried meat.
At dawn the next day, the Wei army set off again, driving their sleds and chariots to the west.
Relying on the incredible mobility of horse-drawn sleds on the snow, the Wei army under Zhao Hongrun arrived at Huayin from Taolin in just three days, leaving Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi far behind.
On the fifth day, the Wei army arrived at Weinan, the city of Qin.
At this time, the straight-line distance between the Wei army and Qin's new capital, Xianyang, was only one hundred and sixty miles!
