"Marquis Xi, the Qin army is marching too slowly. If we don't wait a moment, they might just turn around and go back when they see they can't catch up with us."
After hearing what his men said, Marquis Shuangmixi rode up to a nearby hill and looked in the direction he came from.
He saw that behind the 20,000 members of the Shuangmi tribe was a vast prairie, and only after a long distance could he see a black spot in the distance.
Those are the vanguard cavalry of the Qin Army. Behind these cavalry, separated by a long distance, is the main force of the Qin Army.
"Is this what the Qin army is capable of? Even eating horse shit can't keep up with the heat."
"Since they run slowly, let's wait and let the boys take a rest."
Marquis Shuangmixi spat thick phlegm on the ground and laughed.
Three Yueshi tribes surrounded and hunted the Qin army.
His mission was to lead his 20,000 troops to lure away the Qin Army's cavalry and its main force, causing the Qin Army's front and rear troops to become disconnected and create opportunities for the other two troops to attack.
Marquis Shuangmixi was originally worried that the leader of the Qin army was a smart man, and if he saw through their plan to lure the enemy, there would be some trouble.
To this end, he has prepared several plans and will try his best to make the Qin army fall into the trap and follow him.
Unexpectedly, the Qin army fell into the trap before he even made any effort.
After the 20,000 people appeared and briefly tried to fight, the cavalry and infantry in front of the Qin army immediately chased them. After receiving the news, the main force of the Qin army also chased them, and the grain transporters of the rear army were also caught up.
The team was abandoned on the spot.
Things went so smoothly that even Marquis Shuangmixi felt a little surprised.
How could the people of Qin be so stupid?
In the end, Marquis Shuangmixi attributed the matter to the fact that these Qin troops had been on the road for too long, and had long since held their breath. Now that they finally saw the main force of the Yuezhi appear, they naturally would not let it go, and did not consider the hidden conspiracy behind it.
"The people of Qin are well protected by those fortresses. They have never experienced severe beatings in the grasslands. They don't know what wolf tactics are. I should teach them well."
Despite the ridicule, Marquis Shuangmixi still led his troops and faithfully carried out the plan to lure the enemy.
From time to time, he sent people to harass the Qin army from behind, lure the Qin army to pursue, and then lure the Qin army away. However, in a short time, the Qin army was lured away for more than ten miles.
But at this time, a problem arose. The Qin army did not have many cavalry, and the main force was infantry. The infantry moved slowly and naturally could not keep up with the pace of the cavalry in front.
In order not to break away from the large army, the Qin army's cavalry also moved very slowly, as if they were not in a hurry to catch up.
The current situation is that 20,000 Yuezhi cavalry are at the front, in the middle are thousands of Qin Army's vanguard cavalry hanging behind them, and behind them are the Qin Army's large troops.
Marquis Shuangmixi felt that the task of luring the enemy was really meaningless.
However, it is still very good that he can complete the task of luring the enemy while preserving his strength.
When these Qin troops discovered that there was a fire in the rear and that their own grain transport team had been killed and burned by 70,000 Yuezhi people, they would definitely retreat in embarrassment.
At that time, he waved his hand, led 20,000 troops to catch up, bit the retreating Qin army's buttocks, and was able to tear off a piece of fat.
He was very covetous of the Qin army's weapons made of copper and iron, as well as their exquisite armored stomachs.
Just as Marquis Shuangmixi was thinking about it, he saw a commotion in the distance from the approaching Qin cavalry, and then some people began to turn around.
"Marquis Xi, I saw Qin cavalry coming from the rear. Someone must have sent a message from behind. The Qin general knew that their grain team was attacked. The Qin army is giving up chasing us and is preparing to return for reinforcements!"
Qian Chang, named Lebula, shouted from the side. He was a confidant of Marquis Shuangmi Xi and followed closely beside Marquis Xi.
Marquis Shuangmixi squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
The grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, with no mountains blocking it. As long as weather conditions permit, you can see fireworks from a long distance away.
There is no black smoke rising into the sky now, which proves that the Marquis of Guishuang has not succeeded yet. At this time, he cannot put back the main force of the Qin army.
"Instruct our warriors to catch up and devour the Qin Army's cavalry first! Then they will follow the main force of the Qin Army's attack. Now, it's our turn to chase them!"
"Delaying them and preventing them from returning reinforcements is victory!"
Marquis Shuangmixi gave the order decisively.
The Yuezhi cavalry had rested for a while. When they heard the order from their own Xihou to turn around and attack the Qin army, they all became happy and rode their horses to chase the Qin army cavalry who had just turned around.
The cavalry of the Qin Army, which numbered about three thousand, was the vanguard of the Qin people. They were dedicated to tracking the traces of the Yuezhi people in the front and leading the way for the main force that followed.
At this moment, they had just changed their formation when they heard the sound of thousands of horses galloping from behind. Looking back, they saw tens of thousands of Yuezhi cavalry rushing over with a roar, and each one of them turned pale with fear.
"Walk!"
Under the shouts of the leading Qin general, the three thousand Qin cavalry quickly slapped their horses and sped away.
"Hahaha, good run! The Qin people are really vulnerable. They ran away before they could fight. Let me, the sons of Shuangmi Department, drive these three thousand horses to overwhelm the main force of the Qin army!"
"Without Kushan and Xiumi, I can achieve success in one battle!"
When Marquis Shuangmixi saw this scene, he laughed and was very proud, as if he had seen the glorious moment when his reputation was spread in the grassland.
He hesitated no longer and pursued with the remaining 10,000 cavalry.
…
"General, the Yuezhi people are chasing us!"
A horseman came quickly, rushed into the formation, and reported the news to Zhao Tuo.
In the direction in which he was running, he could see three thousand Qin cavalry who were being chased and fled in panic. Behind them, there were densely packed Yuezhi cavalry coming in like a black tide.
"Therefore, if you are good at moving the enemy, if you shape it, the enemy will follow it; if you give it, the enemy will take it."
Li Shi stroked her palms and praised him, and said with a smile: "The general's method of mobilizing the enemy troops is really amazing. Without us, the enemy troops will jump into the trap themselves. Hahaha, this reminds me of what happened in Qi State back then.
It’s such a magnificent time!”
Compared to Li Shiqi, who had followed Zhao Tuo for a period of time, the newly recruited confidants, including Chen Ping, followed Zhao Tuo on the battlefield for the first time.
They saw with their own eyes that the Yuezhi cavalry, who originally came to lure the Qin army, were instead lured by the Qin army's cavalry and rushed towards the open trap. They were extremely impressed.
Zhao Tuo listened to the praises of his cronies. He sat on his horse and looked into the distance, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
An excellent military general must not only be able to command his own army with ease.
What's more, we must learn to use true or false military information to present some practical benefits in a timely manner to mobilize and command the enemy's troops.
"Move it with advantage and treat it with force, then the battle will be invincible!"
Zhao Tuo's eyes lit up.
Surrounding him were tens of thousands of Qin army infantry who had rested and were waiting in full formation.
The bow and crossbow are in front, and the spear is in the back.
On both sides of the infantry formation were elite cavalry guards.
And at the rear, there were five hundred heavy cavalry armed with horses and horses, both wearing armor.
The trap has been laid.
Just waiting for the wild wolf on the grassland to jump in.
