The prince of the county rode on horseback and came to a col in Bailang Mountain.
His expression was extremely bad. Among the three brothers, he was the only one who led the most troops this time, but he was the only one who moved at the slowest speed.
Along the way, we were interrupted by Junze's guerrillas, and we were exhausted.
It's like a disgusting bee that can't be killed or driven away, but if you ignore it, it will sting you from time to time.
Along the way, he had been stung all over his body and lost many elite soldiers.
However, Junze has also reached the end of his rope, and only a few remaining defeated soldiers are hiding in this mountain col, making it easy for him to find them.
We are about to arrive in Tongning County. We must kill this disgusting bee before attacking the city to prevent him from stinging us on the back again.
A scout ran over, half-knelt down at the foot of his horse and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual in front of you."
The horse under the prince's crotch moved its hooves. He pulled it to steady it and said: "Let's explore again."
His cousin was so smart that he suffered a lot in the past few days. He didn't believe that Junze would just stay in this bag-shaped mountain col and wait for him to catch the turtle in the jar.
After a while, the scout ran over again and said: "I'm reporting to the prince, there is nothing strange."
The Grand Prince narrowed his eyes and said, "Is there really nothing?"
Indeed, there was nothing strange at all. The people inside seemed to be waiting for death.
There is no gunpowder, no traps along the road, no archers on the mountain, and no big rocks.
There are no traces of the common and uncommon methods used in ambushes.
Some horse hoof prints were very confusing, as if they were escaping in a hurry.
No matter which way you look at it, the people inside seem to be at the end of their rope.
Unless there are soldiers and generals from heaven coming from the sky, it will be a stable situation.
But in the past few days, everyone has been exhausted mentally and physically by Junze. Under the pressure of the Grand Prince, the scout did not dare to say "there is really nothing", so he could only sigh hard and said: "I'll go back later."
Exploring.”
After a while, the scout came over with a disgraced look and said, "Your Majesty, there is still nothing strange."
The prince's face was gloomy. He didn't believe it. It was that simple.
Even after fighting all the way, Junze's troops were running low, but he didn't want to be tricked by Junze again.
He had spent a long time in front of this mountain col today. If there was an ambush inside, he would never be able to endure the humiliation of being fully prepared.
The prince gritted his teeth and said, "Look again! Look inside!"
The scouts could only accept their fate and go back to investigate.
The summer sun is scorching hot, and the soldiers led by the prince are the best among the best, and their armors are all the best.
But on a hot day, wearing such a heavy armor made people sweat from the heat, and the marching speed also slowed down a lot.
A streak of sweat broke out on the prince's forehead, but he didn't wipe it away and let the sweat fall.
The scout came back from exploring the road for the fourth time and said: "Reporting to the prince, we went deeper and found that there are some roads that go all the way up the mountain, and then deeper into the forest. There are dense trees there, and there may be an ambush."
Finally hearing traces of an ambush, the prince still couldn't relax.
The terrain in the mountains and forests is complicated, and no one can tell what the ambush is.
At this time, a young general who was following the Grand Prince said: "Grand Prince, my subordinates have a guess, will they go over the mountain?"
The prince of the county said: "On the other side of the mountain is Nanwang County, my second brother's territory. He wants to die by crossing the mountain."
The young general said: "But there is another saying, which is to risk death and survive. The two princes of the two counties don't know the specific situation here. If they are really overturned, they might hide in the crowd, escape, and even disrupt the two counties.
The situation at the king’s place.”
The prince hesitated. Could it be that simple?
Are we talking about the empty city strategy ahead, or are we talking about inviting you to enter the urn?
The young general said: "If the prince is not at ease, he can wait here while his subordinates lead others. The remaining soldiers are defeated, and even if there is an ambush, there are so many of us that we can't do anything to measure them."
Another general was particularly upset by the weather and didn't want to wait any longer, so he said: "Your Majesty, if they really plan to climb over the mountain, if we continue to wait and see, they may really escape."
The prince looked at the calm mountain col and said, "Take two teams of people and go over the mountain to find him."
The two young generals said in unison: "Yes."
The Grand Prince stayed at the mountain pass for a long time, until a small burst of movement suddenly broke out on the mountain, and then quickly disappeared.
The Grand Prince said to the scouts beside him: "Go and find out what happened."
After a while, the scout came over followed by a young general, and a young general from the Second County King's side.
The young general said: "Your Majesty, we have been fooled! The traps on the mountain are rough and there is nothing except a few bloody clothes and a few animal carcasses. The people of the second prince have also been lured here."
The prince was so angry that he wanted to cut Junze into pieces with a thousand knives.
A few bloody clothes and a crude trap wasted their time for an entire afternoon!
It is not an empty city strategy, nor is it inviting the king into an urn, nor is it trying to catch a turtle in an urn.
This is to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Junze had calculated that he was cautious by nature and would probe again and again to ensure safety.
He had reached the end of the road and was not going to stand in the way. He wanted to sneak back with his few remaining soldiers and horses.
The prince roared angrily: "All cavalry, follow me quickly toward Tongning County."
The horse under Junze's crotch was already exhausted, and the running around in the past few days had made him extremely embarrassed.
On such a hot day, his lips were completely dry and blood started to flow out when he spoke a word.
He did stay in Bailang Mountain for a day to heal his wounds. Because Wuyan was by his side to protect him, his injuries were not too many, but not many.
Of the 7,000 soldiers and horses brought out of the city, only more than 500 people remained, half of whom were injured.
If he fought to the death, he could still drag it out for two days, but he didn't want to fight to the death.
This has reached his limit.
So he deliberately left his whereabouts to make the prince think that he was recuperating in Bailang Mountain, and successfully delayed the prince's troops in Bailang Mountain for half a day.
I don’t know how long I ran, but everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, and the horses were exhausted.
Junze boosted morale and shouted: "Brothers, there are still ten kilometers left, we will soon reach Tongning County."
In fact, everyone knows that it is not ten kilometers, but twenty kilometers.
But everyone accepted his lie.
Looking at plum blossoms quenches thirst and promotes fluid production.
At this time, there was a sudden sound in the air, and Junze turned sideways to avoid the arrow feathers.
The Grand Prince's cavalry has already caught up.
He clamped the horse's belly tightly and ran forward, only to find that another group of people was already blocking the front.
Attack from front and back.
The Grand Prince approached on horseback.
Although Junze was at a disadvantage, his poisonous tongue broke out at an inappropriate time. He said loudly: "Cousin, your archery skills are not as accurate as mine."
The Grand Prince looked at him with disgust in his eyes, drew his bow again, and said: "Why don't you try again."
