Chapter 1211: Ambush vs Anti-Ambush
"PS: I'm back to my hometown. I've been on the bus for a long time and I'm really tired. Considering the quality of the novel, I'll code one chapter first and then let me get some sleep. The second chapter should be in the early morning tomorrow. Please bear with me.

————The following text————
That night, Zhao Hongrun ordered all merchant navy troops in Fenghao City to dispatch to recover the crossbow arrows.
Regarding this order, Nanmen Chi and other generals were inevitably skeptical, because they had just been attacked by 3,000 Weiyang cavalry led by Weiyang Lord Ying Hua himself. Who can guarantee that Weiyang Lord Ying Hua would not leave and come back?
Come back and attack Feng Hao again?
However, Zhao Hongrun was very certain about this.
In his opinion, through the Qin Army's unsuccessful sneak attack, Weiyang Jun Yinghua had probably realized a truth: the Shangshui Army is an army with rich experience and very quick adaptability.
Under such circumstances, even if you gain an initial advantage through sneak attacks, it will be difficult to turn this advantage into a victory.
To put it simply, Weiyang Jun Yinghua will most likely not attack again, because there is no advantage to take advantage of. You must know that in tonight's night attack, Qin's Weiyang cavalry lost nearly 800 cavalry, while the Shang Shui army suffered casualties
There were also about a thousand people, and the casualty ratio was almost one to one. I believe Weiyang Lord Ying Hua will not do it again with such a unlucky sneak attack.
Unless Weiyang Jun Ying Hua brings a large number of tattooed troops, unfortunately, once the tattooed troops join the battle, the speed of the Weiyang cavalry will be restricted in disguise, which will give the Wei army sufficient time to respond.
to the effect of sneak attack on the Wei army.
Of course, for the sake of caution, Zhao Hongrun sent additional secret sentries to avoid the incident of being attacked by Weiyang Lord Ying Hua again.
The next day, November 26, Weiyang Lord Ying Hua indeed led more tattooed troops to attack Feng Hao.
Unfortunately, because Zhao Hongrun decisively ordered all Shang Shui troops to leave the city last night to recover the crossbow arrows, the Wei army recovered 80% of the crossbow arrows, so that the tattooed army under Weiyang Jun Ying Hua once again paid 10,000 casualties.
, but failed to capture Fenghao.
As dusk approached, Weiyang Lord Ying Hua retreated as he had done the previous few days.
For two consecutive days after that, Weiyang Lord Yinghua simply did not even send out his regular troops. At most, he sent out a "supervisory team" to monitor every crazy attack of the tattooed army on Feng Hao.
Of course, the Wei army hated this kind of war of attrition, and the morale of the Tattooed Army was also greatly reduced. After all, the casualties of the Tattooed Army had reached 60,000 in the past few days. It is no exaggeration to say that Feng Hao
Outside the city, there were corpses of Qin's tattooed soldiers everywhere.
Until November 28th, Weiyang Lord Ying Hua once again moved in full force and led his troops to Fenghao again.
But this time, when Weiyang Jun Yinghua failed to attack Feng Hao, he led the regular army in a circle during the retreat. Taking advantage of the night after dusk, he bypassed Feng Hao and detoured back to Baqiao - exactly
It is said that it took a roundabout way to Qingni Valley in the southeast of Baqiao.
Baqiao is not the name of a city. It is just an ordinary stone bridge built by the Qin people. At both ends of the bridge, the Qin State has two buildings that look like post stations or strongholds. Originally, there were two villages stationed here.
Qin soldiers, but now, the strongholds at both ends of the bridge have been occupied by Wei troops.
Well, Baqiao is actually not important. The key lies in the Qingni Valley southeast of Baqiao, which is the only way to Lantian.
Weiyang Lord Ying Hua secretly lurked his army into Qingni Valley in order to ambush the Wei army.
So, which Wei army is he going to ambush?
What he wanted to ambush was the army that besieged Lantian a while ago - about 4,000 merchant navy troops led by 3,000-man general Chen Shu, and more than 10,000 Dangshan Army infantry battalions led by Bai Fangming, as well as many passers-by
, the Jiejiao cavalry who came over the Xiong'er Mountain from the Luonan Basin Valley, and Sima An's tens of thousands of slaves.
As Su Wang Zhao Hongrun guessed, Weiyang Jun Ying Hua was indeed a Qin general whose fighting methods were very similar to his, and both wanted to seize the initiative on the battlefield. Therefore, when he forcibly attacked Fenghao for the first time,
Weiyang Lord Ying Hua then thought of the night attack two days later, and also thought of a follow-up strategy - a complete set of tactics.
First, use the Tattooed Army to consume the Wei Army's crossbow bolts. When the Wei Army's crossbow bolts are almost consumed, they have to leave the city at night to recover the crossbow bolts, and then launch a sneak attack - although they underestimated the Shang Shui Army's response speed when it was attacked by a sneak attack.
Due to the relationship between Weiyang Jun Yinghua and Feng Hao, his sneak attack on Feng Hao was not successful, but his goal was achieved: making Feng Hao's Wei army feel a sense of crisis.
In the view of Weiyang Jun Ying Hua, once Feng Hao's Wei army feels a sense of crisis, the other party will definitely mobilize troops from other places. After all, there is no way that the Wei army will hand over Feng Hao to the Qin army.
Because Fenghao is only about forty miles away from Xianyang, as long as the Wei army continues to occupy this kind of city, Qin Xianyang will feel very uncomfortable.
Since the Wei army would not be willing to hand over Feng Hao to Qin so easily, then Wei Gongzi Run could only mobilize troops from other places to increase the strength of the Wei army stationed at Feng Hao.
As for where to mobilize troops, Wei Gongzi Run had only two choices, one was Lintong and the other was Lantian.
However, after repeated thinking, Weiyang Jun Yinghua concluded that Wei Gongzi Run would mobilize troops from Lantian, because Lintong is the city that connects Fenghao and Weinan Xiagui. In his opinion, as long as Wei Gongzi Run does not act stupidly, he will not send troops from Lantian.
Lintong mobilizes troops - What if Lintong's troops are mobilized and Lintong County is captured by the Qin army?
Didn't the nearly 100,000 troops under the command of Wei Gongzi Run be divided? Didn't they even lose their retreat?
Therefore, normally speaking, Wei Gongzi Run will naturally mobilize troops from Lantian County, regardless of whether Lantian County has been captured by the Wei army.
And what Weiyang Jun Ying Hua wants to ambush is this Wei army that has added Fenghao from Lantian County. If this Wei army has not captured Lantian at this moment, then he can also relieve Yangquan Jun Yingbao who is defending Lantian County.
Kill two birds with one stone.
At this time, just as Weiyang Jun Ying Hua expected, at Qingni Trail in Qingni Valley, there were three thousand generals from the Shang Shui Army, Chen Shu, deputy general Bai Fangming from the Dangshan Army, and ten thousand captains from the Jiejiao Cavalry.
"Chahartu" and "Kolidan" are leading their respective armies along the Qingni Trail towards Fenghao.
The sudden departure of these Wei troops who had besieged Lantian for several days attracted the attention of Yangquan Jun Yingbo.
It has to be said that the Qin general who guarded Lantian County, Yangquanjun Yinghua, was indeed amazing. Even if the retreat was cut off because King Su Zhao Hongrun led his army to capture Fenghao, making Lantian County an isolated city, this Qin general still relied on his
The seven or eight thousand troops in his hands firmly defended Lantian, allowing Bai Fangming, Chen Shu and others to attack the city many times but failed to achieve their goal.
However, Yangquan Jun Yingba himself understood that all he could do was to delay the capture of Lantian County as much as possible. If no reinforcements were received, the county would be captured by the Wei army sooner or later.
Therefore, he had already prepared mentally for the city to be defeated, captured, or to die on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. Just as the situation in Lantian County became increasingly critical, suddenly one day, all the Wei troops who were besieging the county outside the city withdrew. In other words, for some reason, they had to go deeper into the Qin Kingdom as soon as possible.
hinterland.
"Feng Hao?... Could it be that something happened to Feng Hao?"
Yangquanjun Yingbo immediately thought of Fenghao.
At this time, he had already deduced the fact that Fenghao had been defeated by the Wei army. After all, if this was not the case, how could Xianyang sit back and watch the Wei army besiege Lantian for more than ten days? You know, he sent several groups of messengers to Xianyang to ask for help, but
No news yet.
Knowing that the Wei army had captured Fenghao, the Wei army that besieged Lantian suddenly and abnormally gave up the siege and rushed towards Fenghao. There were only two possibilities: first, the capital of Xianyang and the Wei army that occupied Fenghao were about to end the battle.
A decisive battle began; secondly, what went wrong with the Wei army that occupied Fenghao.
Yangquan Jun Yingbo did not guess Weiyang Jun Ying Hua. He guessed that perhaps Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi's army finally rushed back to the mainland, so that the Wei army felt like it was facing a formidable enemy.
But no matter what the situation was, Yangquan Jun Yingbo believed that he must take advantage of this opportunity to lead his army to pursue the Qin army and create advantageous conditions for Xianyang as much as possible.
On the other hand, Weiyang Lord Ying Hua had already led his Weiyang army to lurk in the Qingni Valley area, waiting for the Wei army coming from the direction of Lantian to suddenly attack when they passed by.
It must be said that the Qin people's willpower and desire to pursue victory were so strong that even if they were lying on the hills on both sides of the Qingni Valley entrance or lying on the snow, they had no complaints.
Even after waiting for a long time, my limbs and even my whole body gradually began to become stiff and cold.
I don’t know how long it took, but the Weiyang soldiers who were ambushing on the hill inevitably had some private discussions, because they could no longer bear the cold, even if they took off the water bladders from time to time and drank the wine in the water bladders one by one.
Drive away cold.
Suddenly, a Qin soldier rolled up the hill and ran from a distance. He came to the side of Weiyang Lord Ying Hua, knocked on the ground and clasped his fists and whispered: "Master Ying Hua, on the green mud path, three miles away.
Discover the Wei army that is reinforcing Feng Hao!"
After hearing this, Weiyang Jun Yinghua, who was still a little uneasy, was shocked and immediately ordered all the soldiers to drink all the wine in the water bag in one gulp, so as to drive away the cold air in the body, relax the muscles and activate blood, so as to prepare for the upcoming battle.
The coming ambush.
About a moment later, in Weiyang Jun Yinghua's line of sight, a Wei army indeed appeared. This Wei army was seen walking on the green mud path without any precautions, with one team on the left and one on the right, protecting the middle.
That team of carriages.
The carriages seemed to be piled with baggage, covered with cloth and sheepskins.
"Coming!"
After saying something secretly, Weiyang Lord Ying Hua took a deep breath, clenched the cold spear in his hand, and watched the Wei army slowly walk out of Qingni Valley under his eyes.
Suddenly, he stood up and shouted: "Kill——!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Weiyang soldiers who were ambushing on the hills on both sides of the valley climbed up from the snow one after another, raised their weapons and attacked the Wei army on the green mud path.
Perhaps because they were caught off guard, the Wei army seemed to be stunned, stopping and motionless.
However, just when the Weiyang soldiers were about to kill the Wei army, suddenly, the green cloth and sheepskin on the Wei army's baggage carriage were lifted, revealing the Wei army's crossbowmen carrying crossbows.
"That's... how is that possible?!"
Seeing what happened to the Wei army, Weiyang Jun Ying Hua's expression suddenly changed, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
At this moment, I heard Chen Shu, a general of three thousand soldiers from the Shang Navy, laughing loudly and shouting: "Weiyang Lord Ying Hua, His Highness King Su has asked me to convey his greetings to you."
After saying that, he waved his hand suddenly.
"Fire the arrow!"
Chapter completed!
