Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 173 Fiasco
Hu Zigui joined the army this time as the deputy of the grain and grass requisition officer.He can get this errand has something to do with Tian Mu.

When Hu Zigui was in the state of Zheng, he often walked around the capital, and got acquainted with the gentry of the state of Zheng.Although he didn't have much acquaintance with Tian Mu, he had met him at some banquets.

Relying on this eye, Hu Zigui took the initiative to contact Tian Mu.The two reached a tacit understanding to some extent.

After returning to the tent, Hu Zigui went to find Tian Mu, and then heard about what happened in the morning.

In the tent, Tian Mu was still sulking.

Since he defected to the Qin State, he has not made great achievements so far.This time leading the army to attack the country of Rui was also an opportunity for him to ask his wife to make some connections.

Everyone thought that the Qin army was ready to attack Rui.

When he arrived at Tian Mu's place, he ran into such trouble as Bai Sheng.Tian Mu was originally wary of being robbed by Bai Sheng, but now he is more worried that Bai Sheng will mess up the battle.

Hu Zigui heard some things from Lin Xiaoxiao, but he wasn't worried about Tian Mu's future.It's just that he couldn't directly say what Lin Xiaoxiao judged Bai Qi, so he could only beat around the bush and comfort Tian Mu.

"Originally, I also came to talk to him about the Guxia Ridge. Even if you have already obtained the scout report, then you should be aware of it. Regardless of Bai Sheng, you have to bring out your own charter."

After some persuasion by Hu Zigui, Tian Mu finally calmed down.Abandon Bai Sheng and make his own attack plan.

Tian Mu is not young anymore, he has been sick for many years, and he is originally calm and scheming.This time he got angry with Bai Sheng because he was anxious for success.

Only the next day, Bai Sheng gave Tian Mu another "surprise".

Tian Mu and the lieutenants discussed the countermeasures overnight.The later you go to bed, the later you wake up.As soon as she woke up, she heard that Bai Sheng led a team of soldiers and left first.

Bai Sheng issued a warrant to Tian Mu in the name of the coach, requiring Tian Mu to rest in Xiaguan for five days.And he took five hundred cavalry to take a step forward, the purpose is to find out the reality of Rui Guo in Guxia Ridge.

Tian Mu really didn't expect Bai Sheng to be so reckless.

If something happened to the five hundred elite riders in Guxia Ridge, it would be a big loss even if Rui Guo was defeated.

Tian Mu was frightened into a cold sweat, and immediately dispatched soldiers to chase after Bai Sheng's team, and at the same time sent a hundred cavalry to support.The leader of the hundred cavalry was Tian Mu's lieutenant general, who was usually clever, sensible and skilled in martial arts.

When Hu Zigui heard about this, he immediately came to Tian Mu.Before the lieutenant general set off, Hu Zigui specially whispered a few words to him.

Guxia Ridge is less than fifteen miles away from Xiaguan, and it takes less than an hour for Jingqi to reach it.

Tian Mu woke up and it was almost an hour before Bai Sheng set off.

When the deputy general arrived with a hundred reinforcements, nearly a hundred of the five hundred fine cavalry had been lost.

Bai Sheng really lived up to expectations and stepped into the trap set by Rui Jiang.

When Bai Sheng first entered the trap, if Bai Sheng could stop the loss in time and order everyone to withdraw, maybe he would only lose a dozen cavalrymen.But out of face, he ordered the cavalry to charge.

Guxia Ridge is covered with high hanging peaks for about [-] miles, and the narrow passage in the middle is only three or four meters wide.

This is why the Qin army's attack on Rui could not be directly pushed to Ruidu.It is also the reason why Ruibo was able to establish a country in such a good position.It was also the reason why Tian Mu went out of his way to discuss countermeasures with Bai Sheng.

These thirty miles are all traps set by Rui Jiang, one link after another.

Five hundred cavalry can't pass here quickly in a short time.

If it weren't for these elite cavalry's rich experience, they might all be buried here.

Tian Mu's soldiers arrived first, holding the deputy commander's flag and shouting "Retreat".

The cavalry thought that a savior was coming, and immediately wanted to retreat, but Bai Sheng sent out the commander's flag to order to move on.

The cavalry wanted to yell at each other, but the Qin army had strict military discipline, and they could be executed on the spot if they didn't obey the orders of the command flag before the battle.

Tian Mu's commanding soldiers watched anxiously from behind, and after hesitating for a long time, they could only turn back.

This is not charge.Seeing that there are traps ahead and still moving forward, it will not boost morale, but will frustrate the courage of soldiers.

Even the messenger could see that Bai Sheng was determined to go his own way.In this case, unless the deputy commander personally persuades Bai Sheng.

Lingbing met the lieutenant on the way back.The deputy general listened to the commander's report, and then asked the commander to continue to return to Xiaguan.

Although he was prepared in his heart, when he arrived at Guxia Ridge, the lieutenant was almost mad by Bai Sheng's stupidity.

At this moment, all the dead and wounded in the Guxia Ridge were Qin Jun, and even the Rui people could not be seen, yet Bai Sheng was still telling the soldiers to rush forward.

Good guy.Relying on Bai Sheng alone, the Rui people killed nearly a hundred Qin cavalry without spending a single soldier.

The lieutenant's eyes were red with anger.

The lieutenant had good eyesight, and he found Bai Sheng when he looked around.

Bai Sheng unexpectedly also entered the Guxia Ridge, but he and the guards walked at the end.

The trap in front has been waded by Jingqi, so it is safe to walk behind.

The lieutenant came with a few personal guards on fast horses, and the supporting cavalry was still some distance away.

They probably weren't very close, and Bai Sheng's group hadn't spotted them yet.

It can also be seen from this that Bai Sheng has no practical experience at all.If the lieutenant general and others were enemies, it would be equivalent to being cut off from behind.

The lieutenant pondered what to do.

Even the Deputy Commander Ling Qi didn't work, even if he stepped forward, he would definitely not be able to convince Bai Sheng.

Since conventional means can't do things, then only extraordinary means can be used.

The lieutenant general looked up at the cliffs on both sides, his eyes lit up.

The lieutenant winked at a guard beside him.

The bodyguard carried a large iron bow on his back.He reined in his horse and retreated to the back of the crowd, then silently raised his bow and aimed at a raised stone on the cliff.

At this time, Bai Sheng's heart was also empty.He has realized that he has made a mistake.

But there is no turning back when the bow is opened.If he retreats at this time, it is a real defeat.If he continues to move forward, as long as he can kill a few Rui people, he can still call it a "tragic victory".

Bai Sheng has reached a point where he can't even retreat even if he wants to.

He is also anxious, looking at the dead cavalry will also feel scared.He is younger than Tian Mu, so he doesn't want to die here.

Bai Sheng's heart has already begun to tilt to the other side between life and future.

At this moment, a "big rock" suddenly fell from the sky, passed through the gap between the guards, and happened to hit Bai Sheng's leg.

Bai Sheng fell to the ground with an "ahhh".One of his legs was broken.

In a panic, Bai Sheng was surrounded by guards, and Bai Sheng shouted "retreat" to the commanding soldiers.

"Retreat" "Retreat" "Retreat"

All were relieved.

Seeing that Bai Sheng had withdrawn his troops, the lieutenant pretended to have just arrived and greeted him.

Bai Sheng withdrew his troops and returned to the Gorge Pass with the remaining cavalry.

The deputy general led the reinforcements and brought back the disabled cavalry and the remains of the dead.

Tian Mu had already listened to the general information at the commander's office, and then went to the gate to meet him in person.

This was the first battle of Qin's attack on Rui.Even the shadow of Rui Guoren was not seen, and the coach of the Qin army was already limping.
