Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1607 There Are Ambushes Here

Chapter 1605: There is an ambush here

Let's talk about Li Jing again.

The main force of the Qin army led by Li Jing chose to withdraw before the battle. It is naturally very difficult to withdraw safely. After all, the [-] Northern Han coalition army is not far from the Qin army, and it is absolutely impossible for Wang Mang to let the Qin army escape. Back to Beihai.

In this way, Li Jing led an army of [-] to flee, while Wang Mang led an army of [-] to chase at full speed, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

"How far is our army from the Qin army now?" Wang Mang asked left and right.

"It's less than ten miles away, as long as you pass through the valley in front of you, you can catch up quickly."

Long before the pursuit, Wang Mang discovered that the escape route chosen by Li Jing was not the routine route back to Beihai.

Instead of taking the short and flat road, Qin Jun chose to take the farther and rugged mountain road.

There are pros and cons to this choice.

The advantage is that it is convenient to set up an ambush, and you can also use the terrain to fight to the death.

The disadvantage is that once you are caught up, you can't run away even if you want to.

Wang Mang felt that Li Jing would go this way because he was ready to resist, so he became more excited, and led the whole army to chase for more than 20 miles, and finally found the trace of Qin Jun.

Wang Mang opened the map, looked at the terrain, and ordered: "Order the whole army not to rest, speed up, and continue marching. Also, pay attention to prevent the Qin army from setting up an ambush."

"promise."

Half an hour later, when Wang Mang led the army to the valley, he found a huge wooden sign standing in front of the valley, on which was written in black ink: No ambushes here, Li Jingliu.

Seeing this, all the generals in the Qi army couldn't help but look at each other, and Wang Mang frowned even more.

Wang Mang observed the terrain. To be honest, it is not suitable for setting up an ambush. If there is no such sign, he certainly would not think that Li Jing would set up an ambush here.

Now there is this sign left by Li Jing deliberately, and it says there is no ambush, but Wang Mang thinks that Li Jing has bad intentions. Looking at the valley again, he finds that there is a faint murderous look in it.

Wang Mang put the wooden sign on the ground, frowned and asked, "Everyone, what do you think? Could this be Li Jing deliberately defrauding us?
Did he set up an ambush, but said there was no ambush, so as to lure our army into ambush?

Or was there no ambush in the first place, and Li Jing was playing tricks to delay time? "

"This place is not suitable for setting up an ambush. Even if Li Jing sets up an ambush, it will not be of much use. Presumably Li Jing is playing tricks 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 made such a brand, whether it is true or not, it proves that he is already playing tricks, so we should be more cautious."

Wang Mang nodded. This time he agreed with Zhou Yafu's point of view, so he said: "In this case, let's investigate first, and then marching is not too late."

Soon, after some investigation by the soldiers, it was found that the wooden sign left by Li Jing was correct, and no trace of ambush was found in the valley.

Wang Mang's expression was awkward at first, and then he sneered and said, "Even using such a trick, it seems that Li Jing is really at the end of his rope."

"My lord, we have already delayed a lot of time, we must hurry up." Chen Qingzhi said.

Wang Mang nodded and ordered: "Order the whole army to move out immediately."

"promise."

The United Army of the Northern Han Dynasty continued to march, and after half a day, they reached a dangerous place that was very suitable for setting up an ambush, and the only way to go there was to pass through the road between the two mountains.

When Wang Mang saw the terrain, his heart trembled immediately, and he quickly ordered the army to stop, and asked to the left and right: "The terrain here is too dangerous, if our army enters rashly, in case Li Jing sets up an ambush here, where will we go?" When all the rocks are smashed together, it will be a disaster."

As soon as Wang Mang finished speaking, a soldier suddenly came over with a wooden sign and reported, "I have found this in front of you."

Wang Mang and others looked at the wooden sign and saw that it said: There is no ambush here, Li Jing stays.

Wang Mang immediately sneered and said, "It's such a trick again, Li Jing's intentions are already very obvious, so that we can't figure it out, so as to delay the time.

But for such a superficial strategy, our army can't help but care about it. After all, if it is false once, our army must pay a heavy price.

Pass down the order and immediately launch an investigation on this place. "

"promise."

Two hours later, after some investigation by the soldiers, it was found that the wooden sign left by Li Jing was still correct, and there were still no traces of ambushes behind or on the mountain.

Wang Mang's expression became a little unnatural, and he said coldly, "Li Jing is a good planner. With just two wooden signs, our army has been delayed for so long. But so what? Before we reach Beihai, our army will definitely catch up with us. .

Pass down the order and continue marching. "

"promise."

After passing through the two mountains safely, the United Army of the Northern Han Dynasty 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. Also wrote: There is an ambush here, Li Jingliu.

"I fuck..."

Wang Mang couldn't hold back his swearing, he drew his sword and slashed at the wooden sign, abruptly cutting the wooden sign into firewood.

Seeing this, the generals looked at each other. They all understood why Wang Mang was angry. To be honest, they were really aggrieved. They had been targeted by Li Jing's scheming all the time, and Wang Mang was already restrained. If it were them, they would be even more angry.

Although Li Jing's wooden sign said there was an ambush, but there were no birds circling over the Maolin, and the birds all returned to the forest. This is a sign of no ambush.

But based on this, it cannot be concluded that there are no ambushes. After all, as long as the number of ambushes in the forest is not large, the birds can be deceived.

"It can't go on like this."

Soon, Wang Mang calmed down, and said: "This forest stretches for more than ten miles. If you really explore it step by step, I'm afraid it won't last a day. By then, Li Jing will have retreated to Beihai."

"Could it be that you just entered the forest?"

Zhou Yafu said that he was cautious by nature, even if he knew it was a trick, he would not take such a risk.

After pondering for a while, Wang Mang said, "No, we can't just enter the forest like this. If Li Jing sets fire to the forest, our army will be lost forever."

"What should I do?"

A gleam flashed in Wang Mang's eyes, and he said, "Send out a troop to scout the way.

General Sha Juanlian, please lead five thousand soldiers to explore the way. "

A hint of anger flashed in Sha Juanlian's eyes, but he also knew that only his army was suitable for this task. Whoever made his [-] Zhao army were recruits was the most suitable for cannon fodder.

Sha Juanlian 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 about it.

"It really failed." Li Jing sighed, his eyes were full of disappointment.
