Chapter 179 Four Strategies in a Series
September 26, it is getting dark.

In the wilderness from south to north, [-] Luyang and Gyeonggi soldiers and horses led by Wei general Chen Quan were moving quickly through the wilderness. In the east and west directions, scouts were constantly coming and going to deliver news.

A bonfire was set up in the front line where a temporary camp had been set up. Inside the tent, he read the message on the note with the help of an oil lamp, and then burned it.

"General Zhao is fighting against the opponent's [-] Xiliang troops. The opponent has only [-] troops and horses, so there must be some troops left in the central formation. Then the opponent's army on the west route will be either [-] or all of them stationed in the central formation."

He kept tapping his fingers on the case and asking his staff for their opinions.

"General, please be cautious. The King of Xia of Yan Kingdom has experienced battles, and his soldiers and generals have also experienced fierce battles. How can he leave the west road empty? I'm afraid there is a deception! If he has no choice, he will set up an ambush on the way and wait for us to march at full speed. "

"The King of Xia of the Yan Kingdom must have soldiers and horses by his side. Even if there is an ambush on the west road, there will only be a few thousand people. What's more, I only travel through the wilderness and the main road. Even if there is an ambush, our army can respond quickly! However, be careful It is wrong to lose troops and generals in a ship that has sailed for ten thousand years."

Chen Quan verbally refuted his staff, but in fact he still honestly chose to listen to the other party's opinions.At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves outside, and a scout rushed into the camp gate on horseback and jumped off his horse.

"General, fight from the front!"

When the note was handed over, Chen Quan glanced at it, frowned and handed it to the staff beside him, who also frowned: "The other party hit him once and then ran away?"

"Suspicious soldiers?" Chen Quan handed the note to the oil lamp and burned it. "The Xiliang soldiers also acted like this with General Zhao before, constantly changing their positions to harass, and now they want to use another trick on me?"

The staff on the side stood up and said with a smile: "Then let the soldiers in front form an array and make a move step by step. The opponent will have no way to attack, and this plan will fail itself."

"I believe what you say sir!"

While he was talking, there was a faint message of cavalry outside the tent, rushing towards this direction, and then he was stopped by the soldiers outside. Chen Quan said: "Let him in." He waved away the scout just now, and the one outside was stopped. The scouts below followed and raised their hands: "A battalion in the front line was attacked, but the enemy has been repulsed."

"How much did we lose?"

Chen Quan's brows furrowed even more as soon as he received the intelligence of the two approaching enemies. He glanced at his staff and then continued to ask: "How about the scouts in front of us? Can they go deep to the north?"

"Back to General, a dozen brothers were killed and seven were injured. As for the scouts, none of them have come back yet." The scout replied.

"Explore again!"

After sending away the scouts, Chen Quan turned around with his hands behind his back and said to the staff on the side: "As expected, Mr. Wang said, the enemy is spreading suspicion and looking for an opportunity to harass."

"General, I now suspect that the other side is luring the enemy." The staff member took a sip of tea and put down the cup. He had some more thoughts in his mind. ambush!"

"According to what Mr. Wang said, I feel that as I said before, the opponent's troops on the west route only have a few thousand people." Chen Quan pondered for a moment, then called the soldiers outside the tent, "Inform the front line, if there is another attack, we can Try to chase and kill a group, remember that only one battalion is required to pursue, and the rest form formations where they are."

"Yes!"

The personal guards left with the general's order. At this time, no more scouts came. Chen Quan spoke some more words with his staff. After the other party left the tent, he slept lightly on the simple wooden couch beside the tent. Just after midnight, the second At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hoofbeats. Chen Quan was suddenly awakened. He hurriedly got up and took the knife. A scout accompanied the soldiers to the tent.

"General Qi, a great victory!"

"Great victory? What great victory?"

When Chen Quan heard this, he was completely stunned. Before he could do anything, there was news of a great victory. Whoever replaced him would be stunned. At this time, a staff member from the next tent was wearing single clothes and running over barefoot.

"What happened?" The scout hurriedly said to the two of them: "When we met the enemy in the front line, we obeyed the general's order. There was a battalion of brothers who chased and killed them. They even chased the enemy to the enemy's station and killed them. The camp was burned. The enemy army fired arrows and called for reinforcements. Our brothers here also got up and fired arrows. The rest of the brothers stationed there rushed towards that group and defeated the enemy army. "

"Approximately how many reinforcements are there from the other side? The brothers in the front line reported that they are roughly five thousand."

"haha okay!"

Hearing this number, Chen Quan slapped his thigh suddenly. This was exactly what he expected. There were only so many enemy troops on the west route. After all, the King of Xia must have some manpower left to guard the center. So [-] Xiliang troops The soldiers were besieged by Zhao Guiyan, and [-] of his troops were attacking [-] from the west. We should march straight in, rescue Chendu County, and seize the enemy's riverside camp!
"General, be careful!"

The staff came to persuade, but Chen Quan raised his hand and interrupted, "Sir, it is good to be cautious, but it is wrong to be too cautious. But don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to press the entire rear formation!"

Immediately, he raised his voice and said, "Here comes someone!"

The soldiers outside the tent came and the two of them raised their hands at the tent: "Here you are!"

"Call and supervise the camp captain Chen Zao to lead two thousand troops to reinforce the front line! In addition, all the soldiers in the camp are wearing armor and pillows and swords. Be careful that the enemy will attack our camp in a roundabout way!"

After the staff heard the last instruction, they finally felt at ease. The 8000 people were on guard, and even if the camp was attacked, it would not cause much damage.

After walking out of the camp, he looked at the night to the north. There was a faint red light shining at the end of the sky. At this time, the Yan State military camp standing behind the mountain was burning with fire. Groups of Wei soldiers and horses were charging into the mountain, fighting with the Yan army that was escaping in front. A fight began, with weapons clashing and screams ringing from time to time somewhere in the mountains.

And somewhere they couldn't see, a pair of eyes, or even several pairs of eyes, were staring at them from a nearby hill.

The sound of fighting faintly penetrated the night, and the mountain breeze blew his short beard and hair, and the robe outside the undergarment was fluttering in the wind. Guo Jia twirled the tip of his beard and closed his eyes while listening to the fighting below extending towards this side. While thinking about something in his mind, for a moment, he took out the map, looked at it, and summoned the messenger: "That's almost it. In addition, send a message to Zhao Yun and the king. Jia Yiyi burned half of the enemies. Whether they can do their best depends on the king and General Zilong. .”

"Yes!" Ling Qi rushed down the hill.

Guo Jia put his hands behind his back, nodded slightly and looked at the forest fields below. His voice was cold and cold: "Draw your bow! Send these people away so that the Wei army can remember for a long time what military strategy is!"

A soldier came forward and blew the horn——

Woo~~woo~~
In the field of vision, between the hills four or five miles apart below, orange-red fire suddenly spread. The trees poured with tung oil quickly burned like a fire dragon among the hills and forests, drawing a dazzling arc.

In the other direction, there was also a burning light that quickly closed up the place entering the mountain, cutting off the retreat of the pursuing Wei army's middle and rear troops, and surrounding them in the middle.

Vaguely, countless screams came from the woods five miles away.

The fire started up in the mountain wind and burned bigger and bigger. Groups of Youyan soldiers who fled into the mountains were only a hundred or two hundred feet away from the hills here. They were either helping to find their escaped comrades, or they were standing on the mountainside, dumbfounded. Look at the fire.

He couldn't help but subconsciously look at the figure standing on the cliff with his hands behind his hands. The firelight shone on his handsome face with a short beard. Guo Jia's eyes were cold. He stood tall and straight on the edge of the cliff. The fire in the forest was reflected in his eyes. As the mountain breeze gently caressed him, he seemed to have the demeanor of a Confucian general.

Suspicious soldiers are suspicious, luring the enemy deep, and taking advantage of the situation to attack with fire. Now it is a robbery.

"The work on Jia's side has been completed, it's the turn of the king and Zhao Yun."

In his eyes, there was thick smoke billowing from the ignited fire, the forest was orange-red, the branches were burning, and the leaves trailed the flames and fell like fire rain.
