The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 2681: Second Round of Ambush

Bachmann reorganized his army and found that he had lost a lot of soldiers in the explosion. He was furious.

"I must kill Qin Yun!" Bachman said gritting his teeth.

Taro Okita signaled to Okita Tsuyoshi, and Okita Tsuyoshi quickly understood what he meant. This was a look that wanted him to give up his plan.

Wilmot said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Qin Yun and the poisoned soldiers will definitely not be able to run far. If we chase them now, we will definitely be able to catch up with them!"

"Chase!"

Bachman calmed himself down, pointed ahead angrily and said, "Chase them!"

The army quickly reorganized and continued its march!

This time, the army was shrouded in pent-up anger. No one had expected that although they seemed to have the situation under control, they still suffered three consecutive losses at the hands of Qin Yun!

Bachman said angrily: "Every failure is a learning experience. I will never fall for Qin Yun's trick again this time!"

Taro Okita was also secretly competing in his heart. After this time, he would never be fooled again!

Two hours later, Bachmann led his army to the fork in the road.

"stop!"

Bachmann stopped the army, his eyes showing a thoughtful look, wondering which way Qin Yun would take.

At the three-way intersection in front of him, there were three roads: left, middle and right. The traces of someone passing by on the left were faintly visible, as if they had been deliberately covered up.

The road in the middle had very obvious tire tracks, like a signpost inserted on the road, telling people that Qin Yun's army was going this way!

The road on the far right did not show any signs of urgency at all, as if Qin Yun had never gone that road at all.

Bachman said happily: "Ha! I figured it out! Qin Yun must have gone to the middle road. The wheel tracks are so obvious, exactly the same as the ones along the way. There is no mistake!"

"Army, go to the middle road!"

"Wait a moment!"

Wilmot quickly shouted to stop.

Bachmann frowned slightly, "General Wilmot, do you have any questions?"

Wilmot said with a stiff upper lip: "Your Majesty, if Qin Yun really went to the middle road, then why did he deliberately leave wheel tracks on the left?"

Bachman's eyes turned and he said in a deep voice: "Isn't this simple? Qin Yun must have divided his troops into two groups!"

"Then why did he erase the ruts on one road but not the other? And why didn't he erase the ruts completely?" Wilmot continued to ask.

"This..." Bachman didn't know how to answer for a moment, "Maybe his subordinates were careless and didn't clean it thoroughly!"

"But now that you said that, I realized that Qin Yun must have walked to the right! Because he wanted to erase the trace of his actions!"

"Logically speaking, Qin Yun would never use such careless hands to handle such a matter of life and death. In this case, the road on the left is the most wrong way."

Wilmot shook his head: "If that's the case, then Qin Yun should have gone to the right road!"

"Because there is no trace of the road on the right, and the other two roads seem to be deliberately leading us there!"

Bachman's eyes lit up when he heard Wilmot's words, "Yes, yes, yes! You are right, Qin Yun must have deliberately led us to those two roads. In fact, Qin Yun went to the right!"

Wilmot shook his head and said, "But I feel something is wrong. Is Qin Yun doing this too deliberately?"

Bachman frowned and pointed to the road on the right, saying, "Don't think about it, Qin Yun must have gone to the right, otherwise why would he wipe out the traces of that road so cleanly?!"

One general couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, it's possible that Qin Yun didn't go to the right road at all, so there's no trace at all."

Bachman curled his lips and said, "You two should discuss what's going on. If you delay my pursuit of Qin Yun, I won't forgive you!"

All the generals dared not speak anymore.

Wilmot suddenly remembered that Okita Taro was known as the number one strategist of the Okita family. He was so smart that he would definitely be able to guess Qin Yun's thoughts.

When Taro Okita saw the look in Wilmot's eyes, he knew that this guy wanted to drag him down again, but capturing and killing Qin Yun was also his wish, so naturally he couldn't help but make an effort at this moment.

He had been thinking about where Qin Yun would go, but now his mind was as clear as a mirror and he suddenly had an epiphany.

Okita Taro rode up on his warhorse and said to Bachmann, "Your Majesty, we should go to the middle road."

"Ok?"

Bachman asked doubtfully, "Mr. Okita, according to General Wilmot's analysis, the path in the middle was deliberately created by Qin Yun to lead us to the wrong path. Why do you think this path is the correct one?"

Okita Taro held up two fingers and said slowly, "There are two reasons why I think Qin Yun will take the middle path."

"The first reason is that, judging from the three previous ambushes, I feel that Qin Yun is a person who likes to do things against the grain."

"Before, we thought Qin Yun would not set an ambush. But when Mu Le showed up, we thought there must be an ambush in that ravine, but there was no ambush."

"We thought there wouldn't be an ambush in such low bushes, but there was an ambush there."

"Also in the camp, we thought Qin Yun's entire army had evacuated, but we didn't expect that he would still be willing to give us a gunpowder feast."

"So I don't think we can use normal thinking to consider the path Qin Yun has chosen!"

Bachmann glanced at Wilmot and felt that what Taro Okita said made sense.

Taro Okita pointed to the middle road and said, "This road looks very obvious, as if they deliberately led us to this road!"

"But if we use Qin Yun's character to infer, we can know that the road on the far right that seems to have no traces is the most obvious trap to lure us to that road!"

"Sometimes, the more deliberate the behavior, the more likely it is that the truth is hidden! So I think the middle path is the path Qin Yun will take. As for the other two paths, they are traps Qin Yun set for us to lure us into taking a detour."

Bachman suddenly realized, "After listening to Mr. Okita's analysis, I think you are absolutely right! Qin Yun is such a treacherous person. The most unlikely thing is often the most likely one!"

"Mr. Okita is really smart!" Wilmot asked, "But what is the second reason?"
