Chapter 1607 There are ambushers here
Chapter 1605: There are ambushers here
Let’s talk about Li Jing’s side.
The main force of the Qin army led by Li Jing chose to withdraw before the battle. It was naturally very difficult to withdraw safely. After all, the 80,000 Northern Han United Army was not far from the Qin army, and Wang Mang would never allow the Qin army to flee back to the Beihai.
In this way, Li Jing led the 55,000 army to escape, while Wang Mang led the 80,000 army to chase at full speed, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
"How far is our army from the Qin army now?" Wang Mang asked left and right.
"You are less than ten miles away from the right prime minister. As long as you pass through the valley in front, you will be able to catch up soon."
Long before the pursuit, Wang Mang discovered the escape route chosen by Li Jing and the unconventional route back to the Beihai.
The Qin army did not walk the near and flat road, but chose to walk a further and rugged mountain road.
This choice has advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that it is convenient to set up ambush and cut off the rear, and you can also use the terrain to fight to the death.
The disadvantage is that once you are caught up, you can''t escape even if you want to.
Wang Mang felt that Li Jing would take this path and was ready to resist stubbornly, so he naturally became even more excited. He led the entire army to chase after more than twenty miles in a row, and finally found the traces of the Qin army.
Wang Mang opened the map and looked at the terrain. He ordered: "I ordered the entire army to not rest, speed up the pace, and continue to march. Also, pay attention to prevent the Qin army from setting up ambush."
"No."
Half an hour later, when Wang Mang led his army to the valley, he found a huge wooden sign standing in front of the valley, which read in black ink: There are no ambush here, Li Jing stayed.
Seeing this, the generals of the Qi army couldn''t help but look at each other, and Wang Mang frowned even more.
Wang Mang observed the terrain and to be honest, it was not suitable to set up an ambush. If there was no such brand, he would definitely not think that Li Jing would set up an ambush here.
Now there is this sign that Li Jing deliberately left behind, and it also says there is no ambush on it, but Wang Mang feels that Li Jing is not meant to do anything. Looking at this valley again, he found that there is a faint murderous aura in it.
Wang Mang placed the wooden sign on the ground and frowned and asked, "Everyone, what do you think? Could it be that Li Jing was deliberately deceiving us?
Did he set up an ambush, but he said that there were no ambushes, so as to lead our army to abdicate?
Or is there no ambush at all, and Li Jing is making a fool of himself to delay time? ”
"This place is not suitable for setting up an ambush. Even if Li Jing set up an ambush, it will not play much role. It is probably because Li Jing is making a fool of himself to delay the speed of our army''s advance." Chen Qingzhi said directly.
Zhou Yafu said, "No, Li Jing never does meaningless things. Since he has established such a brand, whether it is true or false, it proves that he is already using tricks, so we should be more cautious."
Wang Mang nodded. This time he agreed with Zhou Yafu''s point of view, so he said, "Since that''s the case, it''s not too late to investigate first, and it''s not too late to march."
Soon, after some investigation by the soldiers, it was found that there was nothing wrong with the wooden sign left by Li Jing, and no trace of the ambush was found in the valley.
Wang Mang''s face first became embarrassed, and then he sneered: "Even such a trick has been used. It seems that Li Jing is really exhausted."
"Lord, we have been delaying a lot of time, we must hurry up as soon as possible." Chen Qingzhi said.
Wang Mang nodded and ordered: "Tell the entire army to set out immediately."
"No."
The Northern Han United Army continued to march, and half a day later, they reached a dangerous place that was very suitable for setting up an ambush. If you want to pass by, you can only cross the road between the two mountains.
When Wang Mang saw the terrain, he immediately felt a stern. He quickly ordered the army to stop and asked left and right: "The terrain here is too dangerous. If our army rashly enters, it would be amazing if Li Jing sets up an ambush here and then rocks will hit them at that time." As soon as Wang Mang finished speaking, a soldier suddenly came over with a wooden sign and reported: "Report to the right prime minister, I found this in front of me."
Wang Mang and others looked at the wooden sign and saw that it read: There are no ambushers here, Li Jing stayed.
Wang Mang immediately sneered and said, "It''s this trick again. Li Jing''s intention is already very obvious, as it is real and false, so that we can''t figure it out, so that we can delay time.
But our army must not ignore such superficial strategies. After all, if it is fake once, our army will definitely pay a heavy price.
Transfer the order and immediately investigate the place. ”
"No."
Two hours later, after some investigation by the soldiers, it was found that the wooden sign left by Li Jing was still not wrong, and there were still no traces of the ambush behind and on the mountain.
Wang Mang''s face became a little unnatural, and he said coldly: "Li Jing is a good method. He has delayed our army for so long with just two wooden signs, but so what? He will definitely be caught up by our army before arriving in Beihai.
Pass the order and continue the march. ”
"No."
After the Northern Han Union Army safely crossed the two mountains, they followed the footsteps of the Qin army and marched for more than ten miles. This time they chased a lush forest and found a wooden sign for the third time, but this time they also wrote: There are ambushes here, Li Jing stayed.
“Fuck…”
Wang Mang couldn''t help but swear, drew his sword and chopped the wooden sign around, and cut it into firewood.
Seeing this, the generals looked at each other. They all understood why Wang Mang was angry. To be honest, they were really frustrated. They were always targeted by Li Jing''s scheming, and Wang Mang was already restrained. If they were the ones, they would probably be even more angry.
Although there were ambushers on the wooden sign of Li Jing, there were no flocks of birds hovering over the lush forests, and the birds all returned to the forest. This is a sign of no ambush.
But based on this, it is impossible to conclude that there are no ambushers. After all, as long as there are not many ambushers in the forest, they can be concealed from birds.
"This can''t continue."
Soon, Wang Mang calmed down and said, "This forest stretches for more than ten miles. If you really explore it step by step, you may not be able to explore it in one day. By then, Li Jing has already retreated to the Beihai."
"Is it just like this?"
Zhou Yafu said that he was cautious by nature and even though he knew it was a plan, he was unwilling to take such risks.
Wang Mang pondered for a while and said, "No, you can''t just enter the forest like this. If Li Jing sets fire to the forest, our army will never be doomed."
"What should I do?"
A glimmer flashed in Wang Mang''s eyes and he said, "Split a soldier and went to explore the way."
General Sand Rolling Curtain, please lead five thousand soldiers to explore the way. ”
A hint of anger flashed in the sand rolling curtains, but I also knew that only his army was suitable for this task. Who made his 30,000 Zhao army the most suitable for being cannon fodder?
The sand rolling curtain led five thousand Zhao troops to explore the way first. As soon as the army entered the forest, Li Jing, who was hiding inside, knew it.
"It really failed." Li Jing sighed, his eyes full of disappointment.
