On the other side, after Cardo's surprise attack, the Ghost King immediately led his main force in a large circle, preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to evacuate. There was no intention of supporting him.

He couldn't take a detour before because if he moved, Xuan Jun would be aware of it and wouldn't let him leave easily.

But now, with Cardo's restraint, this created opportunities and time for him.

And his goal was indeed achieved, attracting all the attention of Xuan Army at the cost of 40,000 people.

It is difficult to determine who will win and who will lose in this war.

From the Ghost King's point of view, his intention had been achieved and it was worth sacrificing some people. From the King Xuan's point of view, it was naturally acceptable to have surrounded and suppressed Cardo's ghost army.

At dawn, the siege and suppression came to an end. Needless to say, the result was that the Xuan army set up an ambush and annihilated 40,000 ghost troops at a very small cost.

After clearing the battlefield, Yan Qi also immediately found King Xuan and began to report: "Your Majesty, our army suffered more than two thousand casualties in this battle and annihilated about 40,000 ghost troops."

"Yes." King Xuan nodded first, and then said: "I thought that the main force of the ghost army would attack the camp, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be 40,000 people who came to die. It seems that the purpose of the ghost king is not to raid, or in other words

, he has seen through our plan."

"Your Majesty is right." Wang Su received the message: "The Ghost King's behavior really exceeded our expectations. Presumably, his main force has already taken advantage of this to move."

After speaking, he continued: "But this is fine, it is completely acceptable to us."

After hearing this, King Xuan did not say anything more about this, but said slightly worriedly: "I don't know if King Qin has made interception arrangements..."

At the same time, after a night's detour, the Ghost King also led the main force to cross the Xuan Army's defense line and began to march towards Anyang.

On the way, the Ghost King was riding a war horse, holding a map of the Huan Kingdom in his hand. After some comparison, he knew his current position, had escaped from the Xuan Army, and was completely safe. He couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The deputy general beside him moved his lips and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how General Cardo is doing now."

The Ghost King put away the map and glanced at him, and said in a calm voice: "I no longer want to know the outcome of Kado. Entering Anyang is our ultimate goal, so hurry up and get on your way."

When the deputy general heard this, he did not dare to mention it again, but subconsciously said: "But the warriors have been walking all night, and they are all listless..."

"Now is not the time to rest!" The Ghost King interrupted him directly.

"yes!"

The deputy general bowed his head respectfully, then pulled the reins slightly, rode his horse to the middle of the army, and began to give orders loudly.

"Move quickly!"

"Follow me all!"

As soon as I looked around, I saw countless ghost armies lined up in long queues on the official road, with no end as far as the eye could see.

Let’s talk about the Qin army. Xiao needs two days to get away from King Xuan. He can choose an important road in Anyang. If he marches urgently, he can reach it in less than one day.

Qifengling.

There are mountains and forests on both sides, and below it is the official road.

At this moment, Su Yi, with 50,000 Qin troops, had already set up an ambush.

The terrain here is not very dangerous, but Su Yi has no choice, because this is the only route that the Ghost King must take.

Since there was an ambush, there were naturally more archers and crossbowmen. At present, the high ground on both sides had been arranged. After taking care of this, Su Yigang was about to order a team of people to get some rocks, but a spy walked quickly.

He ran in front of him, knelt down on one knee and said:

"Commander Su, the enemy has been spotted ahead. It's less than fifteen miles away."

"What? So fast?" Su Yi frowned. In fact, they had just arrived, but they had just completed their deployment.

Goldman Sachs next to him said with some worry: "Su Shuai, this..."

Without the aid of rolling stones and other things, the effect of the ambush would be greatly reduced. Su Yi understood what he meant and raised his hand slightly: "It's too late. Let the ambush soldiers hide first. Other soldiers, seize the time to collect the stones. When we arrive,

It’s time to watch what I do with my flag.”

"promise!"

After the military order was issued, all the generals began to make gestures.

The crossbowmen on the mountain ridge began to lower their bodies, some crouched behind boulders, and some hid in the grass.

The distance of fifteen miles is not that far. At the marching speed of the ghost army, it appeared in the field of vision in about half an hour.

On the road below, first a ghost general riding a war horse appeared, and then there was a continuous army of troops on foot.

On the mountains and forests on both sides, the generals of the Qin army were all lying down, gesturing backwards to indicate that they were ready to take action at any time, and then looked towards Su Yi's direction, waiting for his command flag.

The officers and soldiers of the Qin army began to draw out their arrows and stared downwards.

At this moment, a command flag was suddenly raised, and then waved vigorously.

When the generals saw this, they unsheathed their swords almost at the same time and stood up abruptly.

"Fire the arrow!"

As soon as the order was given, the sound of armor scraping was heard everywhere, and the mountains and plains were filled with black armor and red tassels. The Qin army soldiers who had been prepared all drew their bows to full length and released their fingers.

Arrows shot down like rain, followed one after another by a series of miserable howls.

On the road down the mountain, the horses were frightened and neighed, and the ghost soldiers were caught off guard one after another and were shot to the ground one after another.

"Ambush! There is an ambush——"

A ghost general shouted, and his deputy generals immediately guarded the ghost king, shouting urgently: "Quick! Protect His Majesty the King!"

Countless ghost soldiers came one after another, forming a shield formation with round shields. They blocked the ghost king and began to protect him and retreat continuously.

Soon, the ghost army abandoned the corpses in front of them and exited the ambush circle.

This is an instinctive reaction.

On the mountain, Goldman Sachs saw that the first round of ambush was not effective and the opponent easily withdrew, so he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Commander Su, don't you often say that for a mountain ambush, you have to wait for the opponent's central army to pass by and then attack the central part to make it

It’s hard to think about the beginning and the end, why are you in such a hurry today?”

Su Yi glanced at him: "How many times have I told you that the art of war is dead, but people are alive. Now that we don't have enough rolling stones, the ambush effect will not be ideal. Instead of doing this, it is better to push them back first.

Let the Ghost King figure it out on his own."

"He can't figure out the situation now. He can neither advance nor retreat. There is another way, which is to attack the mountain."

"This is what I want to see most."

"Of course, let him hesitate. The longer he hesitates, the better it will be for us, because as time goes by, we will only collect more and more stones."

"And he has to go this way."

After Su Yi finished speaking, Goldman Sachs was a little dumbfounded, and then he regretted it and stammered: "Watching Commander Su use troops, it's... always unexpected."
