Xu Feng hurriedly gave the order at this time, otherwise Lu Bu and Zhao Yun would lead their troops to pursue Xiang Liang.
Xu Feng was worried that there was still a trap set by the Chu army ahead.
At this time, Xu Feng still focused on stability and did not seek to expand the results of the battle.
Because Xu Feng knew very well that the main force of the Chu army was currently in the area of Chenliu and Xiangyi in the north.
All he needs to do is to lead the Qin army through the mountains and forests safely and reach the city of Suiyang. For the Qin army, it is a victory.
Fortunately, Xu Feng didn't let the Qin army pursue him, so he was behind a hillside three miles to the east, where five thousand Chu army infantry were lying in ambush.
This is the second ambush site set up by Xiang Liang, which is where the Qin army is going to ambush and pursue.
"Qin Jun didn't come after him?"
Xiang Liang led the army to retreat here, but found that the Qin army hadn't chased him.
"This Hu Hai is really cautious."
Xiang Liang frowned, Xu Feng was more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
At this time, the Qin army stopped advancing and was cleaning up the battlefield, treating the wounded, and burying the bodies of the fallen soldiers of both the enemy and us.
"Guo Jia, send soldiers to cut down this bamboo forest. Our army will camp here tonight, and we will not move forward for the time being."
Xu Feng took a look at the surrounding terrain and found that it was quite suitable for camping.
So he decided that the army would camp here tonight and not march forward any more.
Because the bloody battle between the Qin army and the Chu army in the bamboo forest took the Qin army nearly two hours.
At this time, Qin Jun continued to move forward, and he would never be able to get out of this mountain forest before dark.
What's more, Xu Feng didn't know if he could find a suitable place to camp if Qin Jun moved forward. If he couldn't find it, it would be troublesome.
It's better to camp here, anyway, he still has plenty of time.
Xu Feng believed in Han Xin's ability. Xiang Yu wanted to lead the main force of the Chu army and retreat to Suiyang from Chenliu in the north. I'm afraid it would not be so easy.
At least within half a month, Xu Feng believed that it would be difficult for Xiang Yu to withdraw to Suiyang.
And Qin Jun only needs to walk out of this mountain forest and drive eastward for more than [-] miles, which is Suiyang City.
In half a month, Xu Feng believed that no matter how Xiang Liang stopped him, he could lead the army to the city of Suiyang.
Immediately, Guo Jia commanded the soldiers of the Qin army to quickly cut down bamboo and set up a big camp here.
"Your Majesty, the Chu army may come back to attack at night tonight. We must take extra precautions."
"Well, I guessed that too.
Just in time, for those bamboos you cut down, make more traps around.
Tonight, if Xiang Liang dares to lead the army to attack the camp, I will let him come and go. "
Xu Feng said to Guo Jia with cold eyes.
"Ah."
Guo Jia nodded: "Wei Chen will go down and make arrangements."
As soon as Guo Jia left, Zhao Yun came.
"Zilong, have the casualties of our army been counted in the Battle of the Bamboo Forest?" Xu Feng asked Zhao Yun.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"how?"
Xu Feng was eager to know the outcome of the Battle of Zhulin.
This battle can be said to be the most dangerous battle that Xu Feng has fought in Daqin for more than three years.
If it weren't for the fact that the Qin army had more troops and elite soldiers, it might not be possible to defeat the Chu army, which had the right time and place, in this battle.
"Your Majesty, our army has lost more than [-] soldiers and more than [-] casualties in this battle, including more than [-] seriously injured."
As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, he could feel Xu Feng's murderous aura.
"In this battle, our army actually lost 8000 people?"
Xu Feng gritted his teeth and said.
You know, at this time Xu Feng brought a total of 6 Qin soldiers, Huang Zhong took [-], and he still had more than [-].
Moreover, nearly half of these soldiers of the Qin Army are veterans, equipped with iron soldiers and armor, and are extremely elite.
In this battle, 8000 people were lost, Xu Feng was angry and distressed.
"How many Chu troops are left?"
Immediately, Xu Feng became concerned about the casualties of the Chu army.
"Returning to Your Majesty, in the bamboo forest, we found the corpses of more than 1 soldiers of the Chu army. There are at least 2 more Chu soldiers who escaped."
Zhao Yun replied.
"In other words, in the bamboo forest, the Chu army that ambushed us was actually no more than [-] soldiers.
They cost our army 1 casualties at the cost of 8000 soldiers, right? "
Xu Feng said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Peng!
Xu Feng kicked away the wooden case in front of him, he was too dissatisfied with this battle.
"Your Majesty, after all, the Chu army has already prepared for it, and the bamboo forest is too dangerous.
Our army can win this battle and successfully pass through this bamboo forest, which is actually considered a victory. "
Zhao Yun comforted Xu Feng when he saw Xu Feng was angry.
Xu Feng knew that what Zhao Yun said was actually reasonable, but he was still angry.
The main reason is that he is too confident in the strength of the Qin army under his command.
Which of those soldiers of the Qin army was on the battlefield, not one to block two, or three.
If it was a frontal battlefield, with the 20 Qin army, Xu Feng would not be afraid even if he faced an enemy with [-] troops.
However, in the Zhulin battle, they replaced the Chu army's [-] with [-], how could Xu Feng not be angry.
But fortunately, they won this battle after all, just like what Zhao Yun said.
"Zilong, you arrange a team to send the wounded soldiers back to Tuo County by the same route, and then back to Chen County.
Let them recuperate in Chen County, recover from their injuries, and then return to the team. "
Xu Feng calmed down and said to Zhao Yun.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements now."
"It's getting dark now, don't let them return at night.
Wait until tomorrow, after the army sets out, and then let them return. "
"promise."
Soon, the sky darkened, and the Qin army basically cleaned up the battlefield, and set up a large camp here, which stretched for several miles.
Fortunately, except for a bamboo forest on the west side of the place where the Qin army camped, there were no other mountains and forests around.
Otherwise, in the early winter at this time, the mountains and forests are full of dead leaves. If the Chu army sets fire to the forest, the Qin army will be in trouble.
On the other side, Xiang Liang, who was retreating from the bamboo forest, was hiding in a valley seven or eight miles away to the southeast of the Qin army's camp.
"How is it? What's going on with Qin Jun?"
After dark, the soldiers Xiang Liang sent out to investigate the situation returned, and Xiang Liang asked impatiently.
"General, the Qin army did not continue on their way, but set up camp on the spot."
A Chu soldier replied.
"The general knows that.
Hu Hai, the Emperor of Tyrant Qin, was too cautious today, he didn't even send people to chase after our remnants.
In this way, it would be even more impossible for him to continue on his way east, otherwise they would not be able to get out of the forest after dark. "
Xiang Liang sneered and said.
"General, what should we do now? Do we want to attack the Qin camp at night?"
General You Chu asked Xiang Liang.
"Tonight's attack on the camp is certain. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to stop the Qin army who has regained his energy tomorrow and then advances eastward."
"However, tonight's attack on the camp must also pay attention to the method.
If the general's prediction is correct, the Qin army will definitely expect that we will attack the camp tonight, and then set up an ambush to wait for us.
Therefore, tonight our attack camp will be different from the past. "
Xiang Liang said with a sneer on his face.
Tonight, even if Qin Jun knew that he would attack the camp and was prepared, he would definitely go.
Xiang Liang couldn't let Qin Jun spend the night too peacefully, otherwise it would be difficult for them tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, you should rest first, let Weichen and Xiang Liang fight tonight!"
After dark, Guo Jia said to Xu Feng.
During the day today, Xu Feng led the army and fought bloody battles with the Chu army in the bamboo forest for a day. He was already exhausted and needed a good rest.
"Okay, let's rest first, I guess in the first half of the night, the Chu army will just bluff and won't make any big moves.
But the second half of the night is not so easy to guarantee.
I rest first and get up in the middle of the night. "Xu Feng said.
"Well, Your Majesty and I have the same thoughts.
After a day of bloody battle, the Chu army must have been extremely exhausted. Even if Xiang Liang wanted to launch a night attack at this time, his soldiers would not be able to hold on.
Therefore, in the first half of the night, the Chu army would not have a real night attack, at most it would be a bluff.
In the second half of the night, it may come true.
Weichen has already made arrangements. In the first half of the night, [-] soldiers will be left on guard to let the main force rest.
Switch defenses in the middle of the night, and let the [-] soldiers rest. "
"Well, then there's Lao Fengxiao.
In the first half of the night, let Zilong accompany you, and in the second half of the night let Lu Bu replace you.
I will rest first. "
Immediately, Xu Feng fell asleep in his handsome tent.
Not long after Xu Feng fell asleep, there was a fierce shout of killing outside the camp.
However, Xu Feng didn't care at all, turned over and continued to sleep.
Xu Feng believes in Guo Jia, what he has to do now is to cultivate his energy, and succeed Guo Jia in the second half of the night, the real contest will be in the second half of the night.
Like Xu Feng, there were still nearly [-] Qin Army soldiers in the Qin Army camp at this time, and they also ignored the shouts of killing outside the camp and fell asleep.
On the one hand, these Qin soldiers were too tired to fight during the day, and on the other hand, it was their trust in Xu Feng and Guo Jia.
Xu Feng's order was to let them rest well, no matter how loud the shouts were outside, they didn't have to pay attention.
They believed that Xu Feng would not make mistakes, so they dared to sleep so calmly at this time.
Indeed, Xiang Liang's situation was exactly as Guo Jia expected.
At this time, in the valley to the southeast, nearly 2 Chu soldiers were sleeping and resting here.
And outside the Qin army camp, there were beating gongs, setting fires, and roaring Chu soldiers and horses. In fact, there were only a few thousand people.
These thousands of Chu soldiers were nothing more than Xiang Liang's plan to disturb the enemy.
In the first half of the night, the harassment tactics of the Chu army did not pose much threat to the Qin army.
