Chapter 766 We Are Just a Part of Changan Jun’s PLAY! Hit and Run Is so Exciting!
Looking at Su Jiao's men who turned around and ran away without hesitation, Yi Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately! What the prince said is true." Yi Xun murmured fearfully: "Even though he is the most powerful general in the Qin Dynasty, he still only relies on the power of one person."
"How can one person fight against an army?"
But Yi Xun still had some worries in his heart.
It is true that no matter how brave Su Jiao is, he cannot lead the 7,000 Qin army to defeat the Yan army that is three times the size.
But Su Jiao wouldn't run away so decisively!
Thinking about Su Jiao's intention, Yi Xun gathered his troops and horses, rode his horses to the outside of Julu City again, cupped his hands and shouted: "The county magistrate has seen the horse, the Qin army is determined to capture Julu!"
"Today, we have to block the Qin army in order to repel the Qin army, but it may be difficult for our army to stay in Julu City for a long time."
"Once my troops leave, the Qin army will arrive in an instant!"
"It's a plan for the giant deer and a plan for the county magistrate."
"I thought that all the horsemen and county magistrates should go to Yan as soon as possible!"
The horse's eyes are filled with concentration and his heart is heavy.
Because Ma Fuyang knew that Yi Xun was not intimidating him, but that the Qin army would not give up!
But after pondering for a moment, Ma Fuyang still said in a deep voice: "This is a serious matter."
"I should think more carefully."
Yi Xun bowed his hands and saluted: "I wonder if I can enter the city and have a detailed discussion with the Mafu County Magistrate?"
Ma Fuyang refused and said, "The Qin army will return again no matter when."
"What should we do if Captain Yi enters the city to talk to me, but the Qin army attacks again?"
"For the safety of you and our army, it is inconvenient for Captain Yi to enter the city."
"Later, I will send you fine wine and meat to reward the officers and soldiers of the Yan Army!"
Going into town?
That is impossible!
Ma Fuyang was afraid that Yi Xun would stab him in the back after entering the city.
Therefore, Ma Fuyang just wanted to tie up Yi Xun's troops with wine and meat, and let Yi Xun's troops stay outside the city to help Julu City resist the Qin army.
As for surrender?
Discuss again!
Seeing Ma Fuyang's firm attitude, Yi Xun could only hand it over: "Thank you so much, Magistrate Ma Fu!"
But Yi Xun just asked his soldiers to set up camp and have a good rest.
Yi Xun himself stayed outside Julu City, persuading the horses and sheep from all angles, and did not return to the military camp until it was dark.
At dawn the next day, Yi Xun left the city early and tried his best to persuade the horse to convince the sheep.
It was not until noon that Yi Xun had to stop his lobbying.
"Report!" More than ten scouts galloped over on horseback, shouting urgently with their hands raised: "Qin Duwei Su Jiao's troops have trapped Pingxiang City!"
Yi Xun's heart skipped a beat: "Why did Qin Captain Su Jiao go to Queping Township?"
"Does Captain Su Jiao of Qin not know that our army is stationed in Julu City?!"
The chief scout shook his head: "I think I don't know."
"The scouts under the command of Qin Captain Su Jiao are all elite. A group of our scouts sneaked into the vicinity of Qin Captain Su Jiao's headquarters. Only about 20 of them returned. On the way back, they encountered Qin army scouts six miles northwest of our army. Only about ten people including me survived.”
"The movements of our army cannot be concealed from the Qin army."
The scout battles are for elites!
When it comes to scout warfare, in the whole world only the Zhao army can compete with the Qin army.
It would be difficult for the Yan army's scouts to break into the Qin army's surroundings, let alone annihilate all the Qin army's scouts who were approaching the Yan army!
Yi Xun frowned and asked, "Are there other Qin troops coming to the aid of Qin Commander Su Jiao's troops?"
The chief scout shook his head again: "Our troops have not discovered any other Qin troops."
"When I was returning humbly, only Qin Duwei Su Jiao's troops were attacking Pingxiang City."
Yi Xun's frown deepened: "In that case, why did Qin Captain Su Jiao want to attack Pingxiang City?"
"It's normal for Qin Captain Su Jiao to attack Bairen City and Xing City."
"But why did Qin Captain Su Jiao want to attack Pingxiang City?!"
The distance between Pingxiang City and Julu City is only thirty miles!
It is no exaggeration to say that Pingxiang City is right next door to Julu City.
Even if hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses march at normal speed, it will only take one day to arrive.
It only takes half a day for the 20,000 Yan troops under Yi Xun to rush to Pingxiang City.
Since Su Jiao would abandon Julu City when the main force of Yi Xun's troops arrived, why would he ignore Yi Xun's troops and continue to attack Pingxiang City?
Isn't it that Su Jiao is worried that Yi Xun's troops will directly move into Pingxiang City and attack Su Jiao's troops?
Thick doubts lingered in Yi Xun's mind, but Yi Xun really couldn't think of a reason.
The worry that the Pingxiangcheng County Magistrate might ask for surrender at any time left Yi Xun with no time to think too much.
After pondering for a while, Yi Xun made up his mind and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass this general's order!"
"strike camp!"
"Transfer to Pingxiang City!"
At the top of Julu City, seeing the Yan army leaving camp, Ma Fuyang's eyes were filled with deep worry: "Leaving now?!"
Nangong Wen sighed softly: "The county magistrate's idea of using the Yan army to resist the Qin army is a good one."
"It's just that the two countries Qin and Yan are now fighting within the territory of our country, Zhao, and they are fighting for more than hundreds of cities?"
"We, Julu, do not want to surrender to Yan, and we do not even want to allow Yan envoys to enter the city. Naturally, the Yan army will not waste more time in our Julu City."
"It is even possible to let the Qin army attack Julu first, then bring in troops to help, and finally force Julu City to see the situation clearly and surrender!"
But Ma Fuyang shook his head: "This is what it should be, and I am not worried about it."
"I just thought..." Ma Fuyang recalled Su Jiao's words to persuade him to surrender yesterday and the scene of the hasty retreat, and frowned: "The Qin army may not care about the ownership of Julu City at all."
"They even prefer to let my Julu City belong to the Yan army."
"My Julu City is just a chess piece on the chessboard of Qin Chang'an Jun."
"It doesn't matter if it's colored, it just exists!"
The more Ma Fuyang thought about it, the more he felt that the Qin army didn't care about the ownership of Julu City at all.
Whether Julu City belongs to Qin or Yan, it doesn't matter to Ying Chengjiao.
Julu City, even Pingxiang City and many other ancient Zhao cities are just a part of Ying Chengjiao's PLAY!
However, Yi Xun didn't think so.
After learning that Su Jiao's troops had put the ladder on the top of Pingxiang City, Yi Xun immediately ordered his soldiers to move forward quickly!
"Hurry!" Yi Xun rode his horse among the army, and shouted to encourage: "All troops, speed up!"
"We must arrive at the battlefield before Pingxiang City falls!"
"Otherwise, even if our army reaches Pingxiang City, it will be useless!"
However, just as Yi Xun's troops accelerated towards Pingxiang County, a sharp whistle sounded in front!
Yi Xun's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Pass on my order!"
"Arrange the troops and line up! Prepare to fight the enemy!"
Yi Xun's troops hurriedly gathered their formations, but before the Yan troops of various units were in place, four heavy chariots had jumped out of the hillside from the southwest of Yi Xun's troops and charged towards Yi Xun's troops.
On the chariot in the middle, Xi Feng shouted excitedly: "Beat the drums!"
"Crossbowmen scatter fire!"
"Chariots charge!"
While shouting, Xi Feng led the way with a chariot and rushed towards the messy and loose formation of Yi Xun's troops!
"Bang!!!"
"Get out of the way! Quick!"
"Where are the spearmen? Spearmen, quickly line up and intercept the enemy!"
When four chariots attacked from the flank of Yi Xun's troops, a huge gap was torn open in front of Yi Xun.
The already loose formation collapsed completely!
The two hundred elite Qin soldiers following behind the chariots mercilessly stabbed the Yan army with their long spears, harvesting heads one after another!
And further west, five thousand Qin soldiers all held Qin crossbows, continuously spraying crossbow arrows at the Yan army, weakening the Yan army's manpower.
Yi Xun hurriedly shouted: "The middle part will line up with spears! The rear part will turn west to form our left wing."
"The soldiers in the front will listen to the order and intercept the Qin chariots at all costs!"
In a critical situation, Yi Xun cut off his arm and used the lives of the soldiers in the front to delay the speed of the Qin chariots, finally giving the middle and rear two parts a chance to reorganize the army.
When the army was gathered, Yi Xun looked at Xi Feng who was fighting wantonly in the front and shouted angrily: "The front troops scattered and turned to the rear!"
"The central troops, listen to the order, press forward!"
"Kill the enemy!"
The Yan army in the front, which had been struggling to hold on, scattered like birds and beasts and ran wildly towards the northeast.
The Yan army in the middle held long spears in their hands, marched in formation, and pushed the dense long spears towards Xi Feng!
After shaking off the blood on the halberd blade, Xi Feng looked at Yi Xun's direction with lingering feelings, and then decisively ordered: "Retreat!"
In Yi Xun's confused eyes, Xi Feng's chariots turned on the spot and galloped away, and the infantry following the chariots followed closely behind the chariots and ran away!
Yi Xun's heart was filled with alarm bells: "Why is Qin Duwei Xifeng withdrawing again?"
"Although Qin Duwei Xifeng's troops are few in number, Qin Duwei Su Jiao is not far from here."
"If the two Qin armies surround our troops, we may not be able to hold on!"
"Did the Qin army set up an ambush in front? Qin Duwei Xifeng pretended to be defeated to lure our troops into an ambush?!"
The more Yi Xun thought about it, the more uncertain he felt.
A 2500-man commander rode to Yi Xun's side, his voice a little tired: "Report to the commander."
"After two battles, 733 of our comrades have died, 1,592 have been seriously injured, and we have captured..."
"Seventy-six heads of the Qin army!"
No matter Su Jiao or Xi Feng, they all gave Yi Xun's troops a hard blow out of the blue.
Once Yi Xun's troops regrouped and formed a battle formation, Su Jiao and Xi Feng would withdraw without hesitation!
So although the overall strength of Yi Xun's troops was stronger than that of Su Jiao and Xi Feng, in all local battlefields of the two wars, Yi Xun's troops were at an absolute disadvantage to Su Jiao and Xi Feng.
Casualties are inevitable!
Yi Xun frowned even more deeply: "What exactly does the Qin army want to do?!"
I don't understand!
Yi Xun didn't understand what Ying Chengjiao wanted to do at all!
But this did not affect Yi Xun's pursuit of benefits and avoidance of harm.
After a moment of silence, Yi Xun gave an order in a deep voice: "Abandon Pingxiang City."
"Retreat to Julu City and station!"
"Immediately send our army's battle report back to the central army and let the prince decide!"
Yi Xun longed for Yan Dan to show him a clear way.
But what Yi Xun didn't know was that Yan Dan, who he had high hopes for, was even more anxious at the moment!
The black and blue chess pieces representing the Qin and Yan armies filled the Kunyu map in front of Yan Dan with extra filling.
Seeing the same Qin army appearing in two or even three cities at the same time, Yan Dan was puzzled: "Lord Qin Chang'an, what exactly do you want to do?!"
