But as soon as he arrived at the foot of Jieshi Mountain, he suddenly heard a shout from the mountain, and the ambush soldiers were all up, and arrows flew randomly, blocking the way of the Youzhou army.

It turned out that the Bingzhou army had already ambushed a group of men and horses in Jieshi, and as soon as the ambush came out at this time, the Youzhou army couldn't help but be in chaos.

Wang Qi hurriedly said: "Governor Weidu, the big thing is not good, it seems that the state army has known our whereabouts and deliberately sent troops to intercept here, how is this good?" ”

Wei Qian took a look forward, the Jieshi Mountain is not big, and there are not many soldiers and horses to hide, looking at the number of ambushes in Bingzhou, it is only a thousand people, but it occupies a dangerous point, and the momentum is booming, as if there are thousands of troops and horses, the Youzhou army saw this formation, and he first frightened himself, in fact, the situation is not so bad. This merger army has obviously been in ambush here for a long time, and Wei Xuan's decision to withdraw was made temporarily, so this merger army was not deliberately aimed at them, but Cao Liang had already arranged it.

Wei Qian said in a deep voice: "Don't be alarmed, there are not many people in the state army here, and we don't need to fight with them, just take a detour." The order went down, and the army bypassed Jieshi Mountain and continued to march south! ”

There are not many Bingzhou troops in ambush on Jieshi Mountain, if the Youzhou army launches a strong attack, Wei Qian believes that he will not be able to defeat it in a day, but if he attacks Jieshi Mountain at this moment, it is obviously in Cao Liang's arms, Cao Liang must have set up an ambush here, the intention is to delay time, he can't fall for him, anyway, there is a horse Pingchuan in western Liaoning, and the Youzhou army can completely bypass Jieshi Mountain, and this is not a necessary road, Wei Liang does not need to waste time here. If the Bingzhou army dared to go down the mountain to pursue, Wei Qian didn't mind teaching them a hard lesson, attacking fortifications and field battles, obviously the former was much more difficult.

Wang Ji said worriedly: "The ambush of the Bingzhou army suddenly appeared here, although the scale is not large, but it is likely that the Bingzhou army has already mastered our movements, if we send troops to intercept it on the front road, the situation is unfavorable, it is better to retreat to Linyu Pass, and then make a plan?" ”

Wei Qian shook his head and said, "We can't go back to Linyu Pass, and now we have no way back but to move forward." ”

Now retreat to Linyu Pass, it is simply a joke, not to mention that half a day has passed now, plus half a day to return, who knows if the Bingzhou army has taken advantage of the situation and won Linyu Pass?

Even if the Bingzhou army had not yet entered and occupied Linyu Pass, and the Youzhou army retreated, the end was still the same as that of returning to the original point, and the problem of principle could not be solved at all. So no matter how difficult the road ahead is, the Youzhou army has no way to retreat, and since they have taken this step, they can only go on unswervingly, no matter what they will face.

Wei Qian ordered the Youzhou army to bypass Jieshi Mountain and not entangle with the Bingzhou army on the mountain, and the plan of the Youzhou army at this moment is probably to use the few men and horses on the mountain as bait to lure the Youzhou army to attack.

Although the area of Jieshi Mountain is not large, the mountain is not high, but the strange rocks are craggy, the road is tortuous and narrow, it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, Wei Qian does not have the certainty of taking Jieshi Mountain in a short time, and once the two sides are entangled, the battle will not know how long it will be delayed, and the situation will inevitably be very unfavorable to the Youzhou army.

So at this time, Wei Qian was still quite calm, and did not take the initiative to attack because of the provocation of the Bingzhou army, he really couldn't afford to delay here, once the reinforcements from the Bingzhou army arrived, I am afraid they would not be able to leave if they wanted to.

So the team of the Youzhou army began to make a detour, away from Jieshi Mountain, the range of the bow and arrow of the Bingzhou army on the mountain is limited after all, and the Youzhou army is out of reach of this detour, so they can only watch the Youzhou army go away.

With their little strength, it is okay to occupy a dangerous terrain and ambush, but if they really go to pursue, it is not much different from sending them to death.

The leader was a military Sima, he saw the departure of the Youzhou army, he just smiled coldly, he was ordered to be stationed in Jieshi Mountain, and he really had no intention of intercepting the Youzhou army, but had another purpose.

Jun Sima instructed his soldiers to light the wolf smoke, at this time there was no wind on the Jieshi Mountain, the wolf smoke was billowing and soaring into the sky, I am afraid that it was a hundred miles away, and it was clearly visible.

Wei Qian had already passed through Jieshi Mountain, and when he looked back, the Hezhou army actually transmitted the message by lighting the wolf smoke, and his heart couldn't help but throb slightly.

Use wolf smoke to transmit information, ancient times, not uncommon at all, during the Warring States Period, Yan and Zhao built the Great Wall in the mountains in the north to defend against the Xiongnu, and a beacon tower will be built every few miles, once the enemy invades, the wolf smoke will be lit on the beacon tower, and the information will be transmitted, and the reinforcements will get the information in the shortest possible time, and rush to reinforcements.

Obviously, at this moment, the Bingzhou army lit the wolf smoke, which was to transmit information to the army in western Liaoning, at this time Wei Qian understood that Cao Liang's true intention of stationing troops on Jieshi Mountain, they were not here to block the Youzhou army, but Jieshi Mountain was the only way for the Youzhou army to go south from Linyu Pass, they climbed high on Jieshi Mountain and looked into the distance, no matter which way the Youzhou army went, he couldn't escape their eyes, and then used the wolf smoke to transmit the message and pass the news out.

Wei Qian couldn't help but be a little worried, after all, there were still at least two and a half days to travel from here to Bohai County, and once their whereabouts were known by the Bingzhou army, there would be a large number of troops to stop them.

Although there are only some infantry and no cavalry in the western Liaoxi region, they want to stop the Youzhou army, is it quite big, but at least it can play a role in delaying, and once the Bingzhou cavalry in Liucheng goes south, the Youzhou army wants to escape again, I am afraid it will be difficult.

The distance from Liucheng to here is relatively far, but for the extremely fast Bingzhou cavalry, it is nothing, as long as the infantry in Liaoxi can contain the Youzhou army, the cavalry will soon be able to arrive, and the cavalry will play the role of the terminator, and the Youzhou army will be slaughtered in Youzhou.

Wei Qian was so anxious that he ordered the Youzhou army to speed up again, advance with all his might, and rush towards Bohai County desperately. But the wolf smoke has risen, the movement of the Youzhou army has been mastered by the Bingzhou army, and the infantry battalion and the shooting battalion left in western Liaoning have immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and an invisible net has been spread out on the land of western Liaoning.

The Youzhou army abandoned the city and fled, it had long been in Cao Liang's plan, and this chess piece in Jieshi Mountain was to transmit information, as long as the Youzhou army in Linyu Pass moved, and the state army knew that the entire Liaoxi had already laid a net, just waiting for Wei Qian and Wang Qi to drill.
