Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

"Pass the order, the entire army will ambush on both sides of the valley. Once the Chu army enters the valley, immediately launch an attack!"

After receiving the news from Feihe City, Li Xing was full of confidence and was sure of victory.

In order to rob the weapons as quickly as possible, he made careful arrangements, trying to ensure that the Chu transport team that entered the valley would never return.

At the command, the Qin army dispersed in the woods on both sides of the valley.

They have prepared a lot of boulders and huge trees to block the road in the past two days.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

They did not have to wait too long. A day later, the Chu sports team appeared five miles outside Dingjun Mountain.

The transport team carried a large amount of weapons and moved very slowly, which made it easy for Qin spies to see their number.

After figuring out everything, the spy immediately returned to the valley to report.

"General, the enemy has about 10,000 soldiers, including some civilians wearing coarse linen clothes. The real Chu soldiers are only about 5,000."

The spy's report made Li Xing's eyes light up, revealing a hint of a sneer: "Very good!"

"Fifty thousand versus five thousand. No matter how you look at it, the advantage is on my side!"

"To defeat Chu Ning, we must first start by confirming his transport team."

"Send a message to the entire army, have them prepare themselves, and once all the Chu troops have entered the valley, launch an attack immediately!"

"Yes!" The messenger responded and immediately went down to deliver the message.

About an hour later, the sound of wheels was heard outside the valley.

The mighty Chu army and civilian workers advanced slowly, led by a man wearing armor and holding a spear. He was the general in charge of the escort this time - Chen An!

After staying in Bingzhou for several years, Chen An felt less impatient and more calm than when he first met Chu Ning.

When he followed Chu Ning to fight against the State of Zhao, he thought he was doomed to die, but he did not expect to win a great victory in the end, which led to his current situation.

In the past few years, he has been stationed in Bingzhou, studying military tactics and training troops, and he is considered to be in a high position of power.

The purpose of escorting the weapons this time was to help the Great Zhou defeat the Qin army. The matter was of great importance, so he escorted them personally.

But the closer Chen An got to Dingjun Mountain, the more he felt something was wrong.

Looking at the nearby high mountains, Chen An suddenly said in a loud voice: "Send a few scouts to the front to see if there is any situation."

At the command, several scouts immediately rode out on horseback, broke away from the team and headed towards Dingjun Mountain.

In order to get accurate information, Chen An even ordered his men to slow down and wait for the spies ahead to send back news.

About half an hour later, the spies came back one after another.

"General, there is nothing unusual in the valley!"

"There is nothing in the woods on the left."

"Everything is normal in the woods on the right."

As more spies came back and more information was obtained, Chen An finally felt relieved.

"Plus passing through this valley!"

At the order, the transport team accelerated forward.

After passing through the valley entrance, there is a not very wide road ahead that can only accommodate one carriage at a time.

The team therefore slowed down and moved forward slowly.

But as he walked, Chen An found something wrong.

"Stop!"

Chen An waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, looked around, and a look of horror appeared on his face:

"There are no birds in such a dense forest. This is too abnormal. Someone must have been here before!"

The deputy general beside him couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "General Chen, have you forgotten that our jar was here just now?"

"The spies have already investigated and found that there is no ambush here. Don't worry. Just get through this valley as soon as possible."

But Chen An shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for our spies to fully explore the woods in this valley. If there are people hiding in the mountains, we are afraid that we will be ambushed."

"Besides, there aren't any flying birds here, which is clearly a sign that a large number of people have been here."

"We don't have many spies. Even if we enter the woods, we can't scare away all the birds."

The deputy general's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Then in your opinion, how should our army respond?"

Chen An frowned and pondered for a moment, then his eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Get out!"

"Back...back out?"

The deputy general frowned, looked up at the valley, and said reluctantly: "This valley is not far away. If we speed up, we can get there in more than half an hour!"

With such a short distance, he saw no need to retreat.

What's more, now we are just relying on our feelings and have to retreat without any signs of an ambush. If this delays the transportation of weapons, who will be held responsible?

But Chen An was resolute and made a prompt decision: "Follow my orders, everyone retreat!"

After saying this, he turned his horse around and retreated without waiting for others to persuade him.

Seeing this, the others did not dare to ask more questions and could only turn around.

Deep in the woods, Li Xing watched all this with cold eyes and sneered:

"I want to leave now, but it's too late!"

"Send the order, attack immediately!"

At the command, the Qin army hidden deep in the woods appeared one after another.

Suddenly, sharp arrows whistled, rocks fell, and huge trees rolled down.

The frightened war horses kept neighing, and screams of surprise were heard from the transport team at the scene.

Chen An's face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted: "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"

The deputy general was shocked: "But what about our weapons? So many carriages are colliding with each other, and we can't retreat in a short time!"

"I can't control that much anymore!"

Chen An shouted angrily: "Human lives are the most important. Leave all the baggage behind and leave the valley before the enemy arrives!"

At the command, the Chu army immediately put down what they were holding and rushed out of the valley.

Without the burden of baggage, they no longer had to be afraid and left faster.

Because the Qin army was hiding in the mountains, they could not rush to the road in a short period of time.

This also gave the Chu army time to leave!

Li Xing, who was commanding the battle, raised his eyebrows when he saw this: "There is a capable man among the Chu army, so decisive, I underestimated him!"

"However, in this way, I can easily obtain these weapons, which is great news for our dynasty!"

"Pass the order down and drive them out of the valley. There is no need to chase them. Immediately pack up all the weapons and supplies."

At the command, the Qin army sent out a team of soldiers to pursue, while the others sorted out the weapons left by the Chu army.

At this time, Chen An had already rushed out of the valley with his troops, but he did not dare to delay. He rode his horse and shouted loudly:

"Retreat quickly, don't let them catch up!"

"Archers, get ready. If the enemy comes after you, shoot immediately!"

Under Chen An's arrangement, the Chu troops that rushed out formed their battle formations and were ready for battle.

Fortunately, the Qin army only chased to the entrance of the valley and did not come out, while the Chu army all rushed out.

Although the transported weapons were lost, there were no casualties.

Chen An breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered: "The entire army retreat!"

But the deputy general looked dejected: "General Chen, the weapons we transported are lost, His Highness will definitely blame us!"

Chen An snorted coldly: "I will explain this matter to His Highness, let's leave this place first!"

At the order, the Chu army left quickly.

At this moment, Li Xing was checking his newly acquired weapons in the valley!
