Chapter 32
There are more than a dozen people lying in ambush very close to the cliff. If you were standing at the same height as them, you might not be able to see them. But now Zhao Chengping and the others are condescending and have a clear view of the team that is squatting behind them. Clearly.

Gongsun Zhan was squatting in the team, they were motionless, their heads were facing the valley entrance where Zhao Chengping and the others were supposed to come in, there were many big stones piled up around them, Qian Feng couldn't help touching his head, his face showed fear expression.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Chengping quietly stood up, raised his hand, and was about to order an attack. However, he suddenly found that there seemed to be people moving on the grassland opposite the line of sky. There were quite a few people, but soon, they disappeared. up.

Strange, I haven't heard of the third team. Could it be that Wang Ji or Bai Qi is making it more difficult for them?

Since the other party disappeared just like that, let's deal with the immediate matter first.Zhao Chengping raised his hand and swung it down suddenly.

Gongsun Zhan was still waiting for them to come in from Taniguchi, but unexpectedly there was a fire behind them. Although they were more numerous than Zhao Chengping's team, many people were "killed" because of being caught off guard.Gongsun Zhan relied on the cover of the devoted soldiers around him and fled in a hurry.Zhao Chengping was even more certain that the military flag was hidden on him.

In this raid, no one in Zhao Chengping's team was lost, and Gongsun Zhan's team was wiped out except for Gongsun Zhan himself.

However, the condition for victory is to get the flag, so... even if Gongsun Zhan becomes a loner, he cannot be considered a loser.Now in this vast mountain, where can I find him? It’s really like letting the tiger return to the mountain.

........................

When the two teams wandered around the barren mountains, the county guard's mansion received a secret report from the scouts. This year, the northern grasslands have snowed ahead of schedule. Most of the Huns have not prepared food and grass for the winter. A large number of people have gathered near the royal court of the Huns. The Xiongnu soldiers are about to invade the south soon.

Wang Ji, who received this secret report, was not in a hurry. After all, he had an agreement with the Xiongnu. Now the closest to the Xiongnu is the State of Zhao. Why should he worry about Qin State? The western front of the land bordering Qin is bound to be empty, and attacking Zhao at this time will surely reap benefits.

What's more, Lord Wu An is also here at this time, and with him making a move together, King Qin can see that he is not the master of meritorious deeds, he means to dominate one side, and can temporarily avoid the limelight.

Zhao Guo is good at cavalry, followed by infantry. To confront the Xiongnu head-on, a large number of cavalry will definitely be mobilized, while the Qin army dominates with infantry battle formations. .

Coupled with the batch of horses brought by Qiao Yu, the chances of winning are greatly increased.It really makes sense for this woman to get rich. The horses she sent this time all have something called a "stirrup". With it, the rider on the horse can get greater support. no problem.

After figuring it out, Wang Ji strolled to the racecourse, where Qiao Yu was also there, smiling at the galloping horses.

These horse breeds are the Dawan horses that she managed to get from the Western Regions. Although they are not hard-blooded horses, they are much stronger than the horse breeds in the Central Plains.

The horseshoes drove the billowing smoke and dust, and Qiao Yu suddenly thought of standing here side by side with Zhao Chengping that night, and couldn't help but feel moved.I don't know how he is on the mountain at this time, but so far he hasn't gone down the mountain in despair, and it seems to be going smoothly.

There must be no delicious food on the mountain, and I don't know what he likes to eat, so wait for him to come down and make him a meal of braised pork.

Does he not like braised pork?
Qiao Yu was thinking wildly, Wang Ji said:
"It turns out that Mrs. Qiao is also here."

The sudden voice from behind startled her. Qiao Yu turned her head and found that it was Wang Ji with a professional smile on her face. Wang Ji looked at her strangely:
"Hey, why is your face so red?"

Qiao Yu covered her face with her hands, she was really hot, and said hastily:
"It's been basking in the sun for most of the day, it's really hot."

The sun...was so hot...Wang Ji looked up at the cloudy sky and shook his head.But he quickly put the matter aside and asked Qiao Yu:
"In your opinion, when can these cavalry go out?"

Qiao Yu thought for a while:
"They have just adapted to using heavy weapons on horseback, and it will take about a month before they can enter the battle to kill the enemy."

One month later, the Huns had just started to gather. Even though they had always moved quickly and came and went like the wind, when they invaded Zhao's land, Zhao Guo sent troops to stop it, and the time was a bit reluctant.

he asked:
"Could it be faster?"

"Hurry up?" Qiao Yu looked at him strangely, "Are we going to go to war with Zhao?"

After being told what was on his mind, Wang Ji laughed aloud: "No, why does Mrs. Qiao think so?"

"Among the Seven Kingdoms, the Zhao Kingdom has the strongest cavalry. Excluding the Seven Kingdoms, the Huns are still some distance away from the Qin border, so I guess it's for the Zhao Kingdom. Don't blame me if I'm wrong." Qiao Yu really just made a random guess. But Wang Ji was taken aback.

After all, going to war against Zhao State requires the consent of King Qin, but King Qin will not wage war against Zhao State, who is as powerful as himself, for the time being. Wang Ji hopes to persuade Bai Qi first, and the two will work together to attack first. If they win, they will report to King Qin .

At that time, you can just give a reason, for example, Zhao soldiers invaded the country, and Hedong County had no choice but to fight back. I guess the King of Qin would not blame himself for Zhao.

Although Qiao Yu broke the news, this woman probably wouldn't go to Xianyang to sue him. It's a big deal... Just leave her in Anyi before the war starts.

Thinking of this, Wang Ji felt at ease, and only discussed with Qiao Yu about raising horses and training cavalry.

…………

On the mountain, Zhao Chengping and others were chasing after Gongsun Zhan in the direction where Gongsun Zhan was escaping. The newly rained ground was extremely muddy, and a pair of footprints could be seen heading straight for the stream.

It was a wise choice. When he stepped into the stream, he would never know whether he was going up or down in the current.

"Quick!" Zhao Chengping only said this word, and quickened his pace.

It's a pity that it was a step late in the end, Zhao Chengping looked at the footprints that disappeared by the stream, and smiled:
"There is no end to his path."

Others stood behind him, waiting for his order. Zhao Chengping knew that he must not show a dazed or confused, or even a blaming attitude at this time. He calmed down and made some analysis in his mind:
"If it were me, I should just find a place to hide, set a trap, then release the bait, and wait for someone to come over and throw themselves into the trap. However, Gongsun Zhan's past experience shows that he has no experience in digging pits and setting traps. Surprise attacks are his hobby. Therefore, he should take the initiative to come to the door for a sneak attack."

Is it possible for one person to sneak attack eight people?Even if you are a fierce general, you still have to speak the basic law...

Just when Zhao Chengping was hesitating, three consecutive arrows shot from nowhere made him understand what Gongsun Zhan was thinking.

Long-range attack!

Before the soldiers who were shot could react, Zhao Chengping looked at him regretfully: "You can go down to eat now."

The range of the Qin crossbow can reach up to 300 paces, which is upstream from where the arrow came from just now.

"Shooting three arrows in a row, this Gongsun Zhan's individual combat ability is also very good." Zhao Chengping sighed from the bottom of his heart, "We couldn't catch him before, so why did he expose his target so quickly?"

Xin Wei said anxiously: "This is not the time to admire others, hurry up and chase after them." As he spoke, he chased towards the place where the arrow flew over.

After chasing for dozens of steps, he understood why Gongsun Zhan had exposed his target. There are many rocks on the ground here, and people can't leave any footprints when they walk by. It's hard to find him here. It would be great if there was a heat sensor up...

There are also rugged rocks and towering peaks all around, making it an excellent hiding place.

"This place is really nice." Zhao Chengping also rushed over and looked around. As far as he could see, there were strange rocks everywhere that could hide a person. Gongsun Zhan could be behind any stone.

"Just now we were in the dark and he was in the light, but now we are in the light and he is in the dark." Xin Wei said with emotion, "It's really cutting the grass without removing the root, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates."

Zhao Chengping, who was standing beside him, suddenly heard the sound of arrows roaring, and a shadow shot straight towards Xin Wei's back.

"Squat down!" Zhao Chengping shouted, his toes suddenly tapped the ground, and he was behind Xin Wei in an instant.

The arrow had already reached Zhao Chengping's chest, but it couldn't go any further.

The arrow branch was tightly held by one hand, Zhao Chengping snorted coldly, and threw the arrow on the ground.

Xin Wei finally came to his senses at this moment, turned around in a daze, and looked at Zhao Chengping who was still holding the arrow:
"Amazing, my brother..."

Zhao Chengping didn't speak, but looked at the direction the arrow was coming from. There was no one there, and Gongsun Zhan didn't know where he went.

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "This player who changes offense and defense is too fast, who can be the oriole to the end? Gongsun Zhan, let's wait and see."
