Anping Hou Zhao Tan looked at Tian Dan in disbelief, his expression seemed to say: I'm not blind, of course I can see.

"Then why are you still chasing the Qin army?" Tian Dan asked puzzledly.

After hearing this, Anping Hou Zhao Tan said naturally: "If we don't pursue the Qin army, how can we repel it?"

This was so true that Tian Dan was speechless and finally had to say: "You are really too upright."

After returning to Hangu Pass, Tian Dan carefully recalled the process of today's confrontation.

It is undeniable that there is no problem with the command of Anping Marquis Zhao Tan today. Even if he later pursues the Qin army, there will be no problem. The key is that the opposite Yangquan Jun Ying Bo is quite 'insidious'. He deliberately let his main army fake defeat.

It induced the Wei army under Zhao Tan to pursue, causing the Wei army's formation to become chaotic.

After that, Yangquan Jun Ying Bo called a group of peasant soldiers to take over the battle and fight against the Wei army in place of his regular army.

Originally, if it were a head-on confrontation, no matter how brave the peasant soldiers of the Qin army were, they would not be able to cause any serious casualties to the neatly arrayed Wei army. But the bad thing was that the Wei army's formation was in chaos when they were chasing the Qin army's main army, so that

They have lost their greatest advantage as regular soldiers and are now fighting on their own.

This invisibly weakened the lethality of the Wei army and increased the threat of the Qin army's peasant soldiers.

It can be said that by using this little trick, Yangquan Jun Ying Bo 'made full use of' the peasant soldiers under his command, allowing the latter to exert considerable combat effectiveness.

Of course, in Tian Dan's view, as long as you figure out the key, it is very simple to use the plan to counter the opponent.

So he suggested to Anpinghou Zhao Tan: "Tomorrow Anpinghou will lead his army to fight again. Tian has a way to defeat the enemy."

Seeing Tian Dan's vow, Anping Marquis Zhao Tan agreed to the matter.

The next day, Zhao Tan once again took Tian Dan and Tian Wu with him and led 10,000 Wei troops to the camp of Yangquan Jun Ying Bo to fight.

Just like yesterday, Yang Quan Jun Ying Bo still planned to repeat his old tricks, adopting tactics of false defeat, luring the enemy, and ambush.

But this time, when the famous peasant soldiers were waiting for them to come out of the ambush, the Wei army that was chasing the Qin army immediately turned around and ran away.

Seeing the Wei army turn around and run away from a distance, Yang Quanjun Ying Bo's heart skipped a beat, and he realized something was wrong, so he immediately offered gold to signal the peasant soldiers not to pursue him.

But unfortunately, the biggest difference between the peasant soldiers and the regular army is reflected in the execution of orders and prohibitions. Seeing the enemy army turn around and run away, those famous peasant soldiers could not remember the orders and swarmed up to pursue the Wei army.

At this time, Tian Wu and Tian Tian's father and son each led a team of a thousand men to outflank and cut off the retreat of the peasant soldiers. They then cooperated with the main force led by Anping Marquis Zhao Tan and Tian Dan to completely surround thousands of Qin's servants.

.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, even though the servants and soldiers were brave and unafraid of death, they were unable to cause effective casualties to the Wei army due to inconsistent orders. However, the Wei army launched an encirclement and suppression campaign in unison. Compared with the two, the high

Make a judgment.

Although Yang Quan Jun Ying Bo realized that something was wrong and immediately led the main army to come to the rescue in an attempt to rescue the servant soldiers, during this period of time, the Wei army also annihilated at least half of the servant soldiers.

After a fierce battle, the two armies retreated.

On the way to retreat, Anping Marquis Zhao Tan was quite excited. After all, the Wei army under his command had wiped out at least 4,000 enemy troops today, while his own casualties were only about 2,000. Compared with the previous record of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800,

, I don’t know how much better it would look.

The most terrible thing is that the "eight hundred" enemies killed in the past were not necessarily all regular soldiers under the command of Yangquan Jun Ying Bo.

Tian Dan said with a smile: "The main army is prohibited by the orders, but the miscellaneous soldiers sometimes ignore the orders and focus on chasing the enemy. Therefore, even if Yangquan Jun Yingbo knows our army's countermeasures, it will be difficult for him to let the miscellaneous soldiers under his command for a while."

Not to be ambushed by our army... If he uses this trick to kill our elite soldiers in the future, you and I will retaliate with this."

"What General Tian Dan said is absolutely true."

Anpinghou Zhao Tan nodded, deeply convinced.

On the other hand, Yang Quan Jun Ying Bo also speculated that "the Wei army may have changed generals" due to the changes in today's war.

After some inquiring, he found out that it was Tian Dan, a general from the former Qi State, who had arrived at Hangu Pass.

Tian Dan was a famous general in the former Qi State. Even though Yang Quanjun Ying Bo was in the Qin State, he had heard of Tian Dan's deeds.

Looking at Hangu Pass in the distance, he shook his head and sighed: "Hangu is not easy to fight. Now that Jinda has arrived here to assist Zhao Tan, this battle will probably become more and more difficult to fight..."

Facts have proved that Yangquan Jun Ying'an's guess was very accurate. Throughout the following November, Yangquan Jun Ying'an and Tian Dan fought four times, three sneak attacks and one head-on confrontation. Neither side took any advantage.

Later, due to the arrival of winter, the armies of Wei and Qin each stopped their troops and called a temporary truce.

If the Wei and Qin armies on the Hangu battlefield were still going back and forth, then the Wei and Qin armies on the Hexi battlefield were in a complete Cold War.

The reason is very simple, because Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi himself is a very cautious person and will not send troops easily unless he is absolutely sure. And Le Yi on the Wei army side is also a cautious and steady person.

The core figures of both armies tend to fight steadily, so it's strange that this battle was fought at all.

So, while the Qin and Wei armies on the Hetao battlefield, the Sanchuan battlefield, and even the Baguo battlefield were fighting each other fiercely, the Qin and Wei armies on the Xihe battlefield were busy reclaiming land and herding sheep, as if

This is preparing for a protracted war.

Until mid-November, when the snow on the ground was already two feet thick, Gongsun Qi, the Marquis of Wuxin, suddenly ordered his Qin army to attack "Pinyang".

Perhaps a general asked, and Gongsun Qi explained: "It is customary to have a winter truce. It seems that the snow is now two feet thick. It seems that the Wei army has already been thinking about spending the winter and has neglected to take precautions. If our army suddenly attacks at this moment,

Then you can kill him by surprise."

Only then did the general suddenly realize.

What I didn't expect was that when Gongsun Qi led his army to rush to "Pinyang County", before his soldiers could assemble wells, siege vehicles and other siege weapons, the city walls of Pinyang County appeared.

He defeated the densely packed Wei army.

Bai Fangming, the deputy general under Sima An, smiled and shouted to the Qin army: "Marquis Wu Xin, General Le Yi has long expected that you would launch a sneak attack in the past few days, and asked me to take strict precautions. How could you let your sneak attack succeed?...

We are fighting in the winter. It’s hard work for both soldiers. You’d better withdraw your troops and return to camp as soon as possible.”

"Le Yi...the former Korean Le Yi?"

Gongsun Qi stared at the city wall of Pinyang County and pondered for a long time, and finally decided to withdraw his troops and return to the camp.

In this way, the last confrontation at the end of the year ended in such an anticlimactic manner.

In the blink of an eye, in the spring of the twelfth year of Wei Zhaowu, the armies of Wei and Qin were stationed in the fields on the border. They did not fight a few hasty battles until they were busy with spring planting in April and May.

The Wei State was suffering from a lack of food and grass and was not able to devote all its troops to a decisive battle with the Qin State. However, the Qin State was unable to break through the Wei army's defense line more than the food and grass problem.

But to be fair, as far as the current Wei State is concerned, it can definitely afford to delay it. In fact, the longer it is delayed, the more advantageous it will be for Wei State.

On the other hand, Qin could not afford to delay it.

Including the Chu State that is currently lingering in Pengli County.

In the summer of the twelfth year of Wei Zhaowu, Wei generals Sima Shang, Huan Hu, Chen Shou, Yan Kui, and Li Ji, including Wu Qi, a surrendered general from the former Yue Kingdom, gathered a crowd to besiege Pengli County.

After six months of fighting, Sima Shang and Huan Hu finally captured "Pengze County" and extracted one of Chu's two front teeth.
