During two days of rapid travel, Hu Hai's brigade encountered waves of homeless people heading east to escape the war. In order to appease these people, Hu Hai's return to Xianyang was greatly delayed!
They once again sent more than a thousand cavalry one after another to escort the fleeing people eastward to Jimo, causing Hu Hai's army to shrink again. Now there are only more than 16,000 soldiers guarding Hu Hai!
These more than 16,000 people include 4,000 Xuanwu troops led by Weng Zhong, 2,000 heavy armored infantry, and 2,000 heavy armored cavalry. The remaining 12,000 people are led by Du Teng, Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, and Zhou Bo.
They are all light-armored cavalry, and there are more than 200 dead dragon guards!
Du Teng and others were extremely anxious when they saw that the marching speed was repeatedly slowed down because of the people!
The four red letters reported to Hu Hai that he did not conceal anything. He told Du Teng and others the news of the uprising against Qin in full! Du Teng and others knew that once the news of the emperor's absence in Xianyang was leaked, their lone army would go deeper.
The less than 20,000 troops that the rebel center intends to pass through and return to Xianyang will definitely be the biggest piece of fat in the world!
At that time, I am afraid that all the anti-Qin armies will be looking for traces of their own gang! After all, once the second emperor of Great Qin is killed, then the seemingly still strong Great Qin will immediately fall into endless chaos.
confusion!
Even if Great Qin will not be destroyed because of this, the leaderless Great Qin will definitely fall into internal strife again because of the issue of the throne. It is estimated that by the time the new emperor ascends the throne, the remaining members of the Six Kingdoms will definitely be invincible!
Yali Mountain is huge. The four words used to describe the mood of Du Teng and others at this moment must be appropriate! However, no one dared to go and urge the emperor! What's more, the emperor is for the people, not for sightseeing!
It's not that Hu Hai doesn't know his situation at the moment, but he can't helplessly watch these people who are dragging their families and escaping from the war to starve everywhere! What's more, he thinks that the less than 20,000 troops around him are small in number, but they are all.
They were selected from the Bashang camp! Most people who want to eat someone like themselves really have to try to see if they have such a good mouth!
But, today, something seems unusual!
In other words, this Heze old way is a bit unusual!
The old road is really too quiet!
"Your Majesty, there is murderous intent! There is an ambush in this mountain!" Long Xuan rode his horse to Hu Hai and said solemnly! As the dead soldiers of the Dragon Guard, Long Xuan and others can be said to be the most sensitive to murderous intent!
At this moment, Fan Kuai and Xia Houying led 6,000 cavalry in the front, Du Teng and Zhou Bo led 6,000 cavalry and 200 dragon guards to protect Hu Hai's central army, and Weng Zhong's 4,000 Xuanwu army were all in the rear, guarding the grain, grass and baggage.
, of course the armor and weapons of the Xuanwu Army are also in the box truck!
In fact, there was no need for Long Xuan to remind Hu Hai that something was unusual! Because the "black electricity" under his crotch kept snoring uneasily! Animals are far more sensitive to danger than humans!
Because the Heze Old Road is an ancient road that passes through the mountains. Although the road width is not as wide as the Qin Yan Qi Chi Road, which was well built in the Qin Dynasty, it is still nearly 20 feet long! Even so, nearly 20,000 troops were still pulled into one
A five mile long snake!
Fan Kuai and Xia Houying's front army had already penetrated deep into the old road. Hu Hai's middle army had just entered the old road at Heze, but Weng Zhong's rear army had not yet entered the old road! Probably because hundreds of boxcars took up too much space!
The Heze Old Road is a main channel connecting Dongjun, Xuejun, and Dangjun. Through the Heze Old Road, you can directly cross Dangjun and reach Chengwu County in the south of Dongjun (eastern Central Plains. Later, southwest Shandong Province, southwest of Heze City), so
This saves a lot of detours. In addition to the Heze Old Road, there are also two Han-Qi Old Roads going west, but those two roads need to be detoured. Hu Hai simply chose to take the Heze Old Road!
Although I don't know why the ambushers haven't launched a sneak attack yet, it is obvious that they can no longer order Fan Kuai and the others to retreat. Once they retreat, they will definitely let the ambushers launch a sneak attack in advance!
Once the six thousand cavalry in front are attacked by a sneak attack, even if they are all elites of the Qin Dynasty, there will definitely be some chaos. If the ambushers have the same powerful crossbows or bows and arrows as the Qin army, then the losses will definitely be heavy!
This is not what Hu Hai wants to see!
More importantly, it would be fine if this ambush was accidental, fine if it was to attack the Qin army, but if the real target was for himself, then the meaning of this attack would naturally be different!
Someone in Xianyang actually leaked the news that he secretly left the country!!
More than two hundred dragon guards quietly changed their formations and quietly surrounded Hu Hai, forming an indestructible human wall!
Seeing each of the Dragon Guards calmly and orderly protecting themselves without even leaving a blind spot, Hu Hai suddenly felt a little dazed! He knew that if an attack really came, then all the two hundred Dragon Guards around him would not be dead.
If you do, you will definitely not be harmed at all!
This isn’t about eating, it’s not about getting promoted and getting rich! It’s about dying! Who can face death so calmly?
The most critical thing at this time is the 6,000 soldiers of the front army. The rear army has not entered yet, and the Chinese army has only entered a little bit. Although Hu Hai himself also entered the ambush area, he is not worried about his own safety. He can withdraw at any time.
The old road returns to the wilderness beyond the mountains and forests!
As for why the scouts did not discover the ambush in the mountains and forests, Hu Hai no longer had the time to think about this problem! Since everyone was prepared for the ambush, they would naturally have ways to deal with the scouts!
The most urgent task is to rescue the 6,000 soldiers from the front army and minimize the losses. This is the right thing to do!
A large number of box trucks in the rear have blocked the retreating path of the cavalry. If they continue to move forward, there will definitely be obstacles blocking them! It seems that I have inadvertently reached a dilemma!
Hu Hai was anxious, and the dragon in the forest was even more anxious.
Long Qie's army only had 20,000 people. This time, the army that came north from Chen County to ambush Hu Hai totaled 60,000 people! They were all elites selected from Xiang Liang's army!
But Xiang Liang didn't know which way Hu Hai would take! That's why he recalled Xiang Yu's army, which was planning to march eastward to Langya and Jiaodong, to make it look like he wanted all his troops to go west to attack Sanchuan and Hangu Pass!
The news from Xianyang also told Xiang Liang about Hu Hai's method of using carrier pigeons and eagles to transmit messages! So he did this to let the people in Xianyang tell Hu Hai that he was going to launch a large-scale attack, and you should come back and take charge!
And the shortest way back from Jimo to Xianyang is obviously through the old Han-Qi road in Dongjun! If Hu Hai really wants to go back from Julu, Handan and then Xianyang by the original route, Xiang Liang also has a way to know the movements of Hu Hai's army.
Be prepared!
But in that case, the distance would at least be doubled, and he would not be able to reach Xianyang in less than a month! What's more, the ceremony for Li Si's daughter Li Ji to be crowned queen was coming soon. He believed that Hu Hai would definitely choose the shortest road to rush back to Xianyang!
Xiang Yu took advantage of the rainy night to avoid the sight of the Black Iron Xuanwu Army from Chen County. There were a total of 60,000 people heading north! These 60,000 people were hiding day and night. It can be said that they suffered a lot, and of course they were also stained with blood!
It has been three days since Xiang Yu's 60,000 troops arrived at Yimeng and Heze at the junction of Dongjun, Xuejun and Dangjun!
There are three old roads between Han and Qi that can pass the army from north to south! So Xiang Yu divided the 60,000 troops into three routes, with 20,000 troops in each route. Xiang Yu, Yingbu, and Long Qie each led their troops to ambush at an intersection!
There are three ancient roads between Han and Qi. The Longqie road is the southernmost one. The two old roads to the north are five miles and twenty miles away from Longqie respectively. The middle one is where Xiang Yu personally led the troops!
Yingbu is on the old Han-Qi road in the north, twenty miles away from Longqie!
The personal guards have already gone to report to Xiang Yu. Long Qie has no extravagant expectations for Yingbo's 20,000 troops who are twenty miles away. At twenty miles away, by the time Yingbu arrives, it is estimated that Hu Hai's cavalry group has already passed this road, which is only ten miles long.
The only section of the old mountain trail!
Long Qie now only hopes that Xiang Yu can arrive soon! It's not that he has no confidence in his 20,000 people, but he is very clear about the combat power of the Qin army, not to mention that there are nearly 20,000 personal guards of the Emperor of Qin walking in the forest.
military!
Could it be that their combat effectiveness was even lower than that of Wang Li's group of soldiers who were said to be miscellaneous guards? Long Qie wouldn't believe it even if he beat him to death! But then he remembered that it seemed that he and others had never considered the identity of the Emperor of Qin from the beginning.
The issue of the combat effectiveness of the Zhou guards!
Can the 60,000 people who came all the way to kill the Second Emperor of Qin be able to stop the 20,000 soldiers? Long Qie was unsure!
Suddenly, Hu Hai's army walking on the forest road obviously started to march faster!
But only a large number of boxcars at the rear of the army could enter the old road of Heze! Long Qie held a small tree in front of him tightly with his big hands and waited anxiously! He had no idea that the emperor of Qin was not sitting on the carriage at all.
superior!
Because of this inconspicuous mistake in Xiang Liang's intelligence, the 12,000 cavalrymen of Hu Hai's front and middle armies escaped disaster!
As Hu Hai's order was issued, the entire army advanced faster and faster! Tens of thousands of war horses trotted along the old path in the forest. Although they did not have the overwhelming momentum of a charge, they were still thundering with hoofbeats and overwhelming momentum!
Just from the fact that these tens of thousands of cavalry moved from slow march to galloping, Long Qie knew that these tens of thousands of troops were definitely the most elite soldiers in the Qin Dynasty today! The majestic momentum of the more than ten thousand cavalry riding horses at the same time and their superb riding skills were unparalleled.
Don't tell him that these people are far more elite than the army of Wang Li's guards that he fought in the Huaihe River!
Hundreds of box trucks finally entered the old forest road!
That's it now!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The rapid and high-pitched horn sound suddenly resounded through the mountains and forests! It was particularly harsh amidst the thunderous roar of horse hooves!
Hearing the sound of the horn, countless extremely excited howls of ghosts and wolves suddenly came from the originally quiet mountains and forests on both sides of the old road. Countless swarthy, upper-chested men with tattoos of various totem beasts stood up in the dense forest!
The moment these big men stood up, they all raised their hands and threw the countless triangular fishing spears that had been ready for a long time towards the hundreds of box trucks that were still moving slowly below!
Densely packed triangular harpoons covered the entire sky, rushing down with sharp whistling!!~!
