"... Jieshi Wuzhang retreated first, seized time to prepare for ambushing the Wei army, followed by the crossbow army, and the infantry again. The infantry was responsible for luring the Qin army into the trap, right... Quwo!"

In the central army tent, Pang Juan suddenly pointed to the map spread on the table and continued to explain tactics to his generals: "...The Quwo area is located in a narrow area, connecting to Jieshan in the west and Changling in the east. He asked the Wushu to ambush here in advance. When the Qin army pursued our army, he would attack from all directions and would catch the Qin army off guard."

The generals praised this, but Rang Ni hesitated and asked: "What if the Qin army does not pursue it?"

"Then go to Fen River and defeat Gongsun Jia and Ji Liang first with the king..." Pang Juan smiled slightly and said that he had made plans.

Rang Ni immediately accepted.

...

Having said that, how could the Qin army not pursue it?

Standing on the chariot, he looked back at the Qin army chasing behind him, and Pang Juan was not surprised at all.

Because he believed that Ying Qian also understood that whoever belonged to Hedong County depends on this battle, whichever they could defeat the other side. Even if Ying Qian smelled the danger, he would definitely try to pursue his Wei army, hoping to defeat them.

With a snorting, Pang Juan issued an order: "Send the order and order the soldiers to abandon the food trucks, baggage, flags, etc., and evacuate in the direction of Quwo with light equipment."

"yes!"

Under Pang Juan's order, the Wei army, who had already landed behind the team, threw down food trucks, supplies, flags and other items, and evacuated north in a panic. Seeing these people's panic, it was no different from defeat.

Seeing this scene, the Qin general Gan Xing, who was the vanguard, was overjoyed and said to the left and right: "The Wei army is so embarrassed, even the food, grass and supplies are left. It can be seen that the morale of the army has been defeated. It's ridiculous that Li He said that the Wei army is cheating. I think he clearly does not want to see our army defeat the main force of Wei in one fell swoop."

He smiled and agreed, "Then Li He is from Shaoliang, just like the Han people. He wishes that our army will continue to be stalemate with the Wei army. How could he really help our army defeat the Wei army?"

"What you said is extremely!" Gan Xing nodded with a smile, but did not forget to send an order: "Send the order and tell the soldiers not to pick up the flags left by the Wei army."

The reason for such an order was that he found that his soldiers were looting the flags and other items discarded by the Wei army. This was not surprising. After all, it was also a merit to surrender the enemy's flag. Why not get the merit for free?

A moment later, Ying Qian also personally led a large army to pursue the place. He saw the food trucks, baggage, and flags falling from the Wei army, and his face also showed ecstasy.

In order to evacuate quickly, the Wei army was so embarrassed that they abandoned the few remaining food and grass on the road, and even lost the flags in the army that were related to honor. Isn’t this considered defeat?

However, unlike Gan Xing, Ying Qian did not doubt Li He. He just felt that perhaps he and Li He overestimated Pang Juan. Although Pang Juan had the merit of defeating Zhao and defeated the four-nation coalition forces of Qi, Chu, Song and Wei in Sui County, it was just that this person had not met an opponent. If it were in front of him, Qin and Liang coalition forces, wouldn’t Pang Juan have not gained any advantage so far?

The more he thought about it, he became more and more happy. He held the railing of the chariot and raised his arms and shouted: "Send the order. If he can defeat Pang Juan's army in one fell swoop today, all the soldiers of the army will be promoted to third level!"

The nearby Qin army was so shocked that they took a deep breath, and then became ecstatic.

After all, a battle to be promoted to the third level is unprecedented in Qin. Of course, considering that this battle is related to the ownership of the entire Hedong, it is not surprising that Ying Qian was willing to make such a resounding promise.

"Whoa whoa--"

Soon, the morale of more than 100,000 Qin troops reached its peak, and the pursuit of the Wei army became faster.

Afterwards, Li He also led thousands of Liang troops and the 30,000 Qin troops assigned to him by Ying Qian came here. Seeing the things left by the Wei army everywhere, he felt a sudden slap in his heart.

What is the general's object on the road, pretending to be defeated, and luring the enemy to pursue it. Isn't this a common method in luring the enemy?

Obviously, he unfortunately expected that Pang Juan pretended to be defeated and lured the Qin army today. If the Qin army was not prepared, he would probably suffer a great loss.

Do you want to remind Ying Qian...

No, Ying Qian is useless in advance. Ying Qian is willing to take the risk in order to defeat Pang Juan as soon as possible. Unless you see the ambush of the Wei army with your own eyes, Ying Qian will not change his mind. But if all the ambushed soldiers of the Wei army are out, will the Qin army still have a chance of victory?

Fortunately, Ying Qian allocated 30,000 Qin troops.

The question is, is it really necessary to help the Qin army? He has fulfilled his duties, because Ying Qian and his Qin generals refused to listen to his advice. Even if they fail today, they will not blame him for losing...

After some hesitation, Li He finally made a decision: to help the Qin army!

Just because for now, the threat from Wei State to Shaoliang is far above Qin State.

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his arms and shouted: "The whole army stopped!"

Hearing his orders, thousands of Liang crossbow soldiers and 30,000 Qin troops stopped advancing one after another. A moment later, Qin general Wang Cao came to see Li He in a car and asked in confusion: "Doctor Ziliang, why did he order the pursuit to stop?"

Li He said in a deep voice: "I doubt that today is when Pang Juan lures the enemy. Wang Cao, I will order you to build a defense here immediately..."

The Qin general Wang Cao was inexplicably unwilling to accept Li He's orders.

Seeing this, Li He shouted with a calm face: "As long as I judged it wrong, I will apologize to Qianshuai in the future and try to make up for the achievements of your 30,000 soldiers today. But if you don't listen to my order, my 150,000 army may be in danger of overturning today!... Wang Cao obeys the order!"

"yes!"

Wang Cao was shocked all over, and he held his fists and answered the order with a correct expression. He asked, "Doctor Ziliang, what should I do?"

Li He looked into the distance and said in a deep voice: "Search the soldiers to dig ditches on the spot and build soil walls. In addition, you can also connect the grain trucks to the end as a barrier. Time is rushed, so you must be prepared within half a time."

Could it be that the Wei army is really a fraud?

Seeing Li He's serious expression, Wang Cao was also surprised and suspicious.

However, when Wang Cao hesitated for a moment, he decided to do what the other party said: "Abs the order! Let's go here!"

As soon as he left, Wei Zhu and Wu Kang also came to Li He with confusion. Li He told the two of them about his judgment and told them: "... Time is in a hurry. Please help Wang Cao build a defense here."

Wei Zhu and Wu Kang naturally believed in Li He and immediately ordered with a serious expression.

So, while Ying Qian, Gan Xing, Miao Lin and others led more than 100,000 Qin troops to pursue the Wei army, the 30,000 Qin troops and thousands of Liang troops led by Li He built temporary fortifications on the south side of Jieshan during the pursuit.

"What should I do?" Li Ying asked Li He.

Li He pondered: "You lead the soldiers who are trapped in the formation to stay, and I will go alone to see what happened. I hope I am wrong, otherwise... Hu Ben will drive."

"Okay."

Hu Ben nodded, shook the reins, and then, under the gaze of Li Ying and others, he drove a chariot and carried Li He straight to chase the Qin army in front.

At the same time, Qin general Gan Xing had already pursued the Wei army and entered the narrow valley in the Quwo area. On the left is Jieshan and on the right is the Fushan Changling of Zhongtiao Mountain. In order to lure the Qin army into the trap, Pang Juan slowed down the speed of the Wei army, which was cut off, and deliberately was caught by the Qin army.

When Qin general Gan Xing saw that he was chasing the Wei army, he had no time to observe the surrounding environment. In delight, he chased the Wei army all the way into the Quwo Valley. Qin general Miao Lin, who was following him, and Xun Xia also followed him.

Only Ying Qian led his army to pursue this place and felt something was wrong. He looked at the mountains and forests on both sides and muttered to himself: "Is it because Li He unfortunately expected..."

At this moment, a shout of killing broke out at the Jieshan on the left and Changling on the right. Immediately, the Wei generals Long Jia and Rang Ni led a Wei army to attack the Qin army continuously from the mountains on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, as if they were a long snake in a string.

"Damn it!"

Ying Qian cursed and finally realized that he had been trapped in Pang Juan's plan to lure the enemy.

But as he firmly believed, he had an army of 150,000 under his command. Even if he fought against the Wei army in the opposite wilderness, he thought that he would not have much advantage on the other side.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered his troops to change their formation: "Hurry! Order Du Yang to resist the Wei army in the west, and order Wang Fen to fight against the invading Wei army in the east!..."

Under the command of Ying Qian, nearly 100,000 Qin troops under his command quickly divided two armies, led by Du Yang and Wang Fen to meet the Wei army led by Long Jia and Rang Ni respectively.

However, what shocked Ying Qian was that the two Wei troops led by Long Jia and Rang Ni had defeated him and defeated Du Yang and Wang Fen's two armies in one fell swoop and tried to cut off his entire Qin army in half.

Looking at the Wei soldiers who did not avoid arrows and were extremely brave, Ying Qian looked ugly and gritted his teeth: "...Wei Wu soldiers!"

Yes, the Wei army that ambushed in Jieshan and Changling in advance was the most elite and brave Wei Wushu in the Wei army. With the advantage of terrain, Qin generals Du Yang, Wang Fen could not resist the Wei Wushu led by Long Jia and Rang Ni, who were killed and retreated step by step.

At this time, the three generals of Qin Gan Xing, Miao Lin and Xun Xia who were pursuing the Wei army in front also noticed the shouts of killing behind them, and their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly stopped pursuing the Wei army and led their troops back to aid.

Seeing this, Pang Juan ordered the entire army to stop retreating, and raised his arms and shouted: "My soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Qin army has fallen into the ambush of our army. If you don't kill it at this time, when will you wait?!"

This time, Pang Juan personally took the bait and fled from Anyi to Quwo with this Wei infantry. Although the Wei infantry under his command had been chased by the Qin army before, he had no morale, but now he saw that the Qin army pursuing them fell into a trap and was intercepted by two Wei Wu soldiers led by Long Jia and Rang Ni. They were also extremely motivated. Under Pang Juan's order, they turned around and launched a counterattack against the Qin army.

For a time, the Qin army was attacked from three sides and was in extreme danger.

In this situation, Qin general Miao Lin made a quick decision and led his troops to turn around to block Pang Juan's army. Gan Xing and Xun Xia continued to return to the army to assist Du Yang and Wang Fen to fight against the Wei Wushou led by Rang Ni.

However, although the narrow terrain in the Quwo area was even better than that in the Wei army, the narrow terrain made them unable to perform at all. On the other hand, the Wei Wuzhang relied on his strong strength to be in water under this narrow terrain, as if two sharp daggers had pierced into the Qin army's waist and abdomen.

Seeing all this, Ying Qian was so shocked that she was sweating coldly, regretting that she had never believed Li He's advice.

But at this point, he could only grit his teeth and support, hoping that the Qin army could defeat and repel the Wei army on the opposite side with his tiny advantage of numbers.

On July 22, the largest "Quwo Battle" in recent decades began.
