Chapter 17
Qin Lei gave them the reason why the Qin military needed to fight, and he said: There was no better reason than being attacked by Yum on the way back to China.
Through the increasingly mature scouts, Qin Lei knew that the two battalions of Yum Army were stationed on the east and west sides of Yingzhou, and no matter how powerful the riots inside and outside the city were, they did not participate in the war. According to the detailed retribution sent to Yingzhou earlier, at least three gangs of unknown origins were waiting for him in the city. This is why Qin Lei was slowing down in the first half of the journey. He wanted to give the enemy enough time to choose the best sniper location - Yingzhou in the chaos undoubtedly met the requirements, and it was the easiest to shirk responsibility here.
~~~~~~~~~~~
When Qin Lei woke up, there were still stars in the sky. He took off his robe and untied the six weight-bearing bags on his body. It contained iron sand, a total of 18 kilograms. He has been carrying it since he was basically recovering.
Take out a piece of linen from the bag I carried with me and put the things inside on it. It feels familiar. I will tinker like this before I took a mission in my previous life, which is very touching.
Qin Lei first pulled his head and put on a close-fitting soft armor. This soft armor made of black gold silk, Tiansilk and ice crystal silk was light and comfortable, and was invulnerable to swords and guns. It was given by Shen Luo. The only disadvantage is that it is poor breathability, and it will cause prickly heat when worn for a long time in summer.
Then put on a black combat uniform that was extremely strange in this era, put on combat leather boots, and inserted two daggers into it. Then fix an arm crossbow on the left arm. Then tie the wide cowhide belt tightly, hang five or six bags, including flying knife bags, blasting bags, and two characteristic hand crossbows. Finally, insert an extended mount knife behind the back. The total weight of the whole body equipment is 18 kilograms, which is exactly the same as the weight of the unloaded one.
Qin Lei lifted the tent and stepped outside the camp. Shen Qing, who took over the responsibility of Tie Ying, followed silently, and his handsome little face tightened. In the open space outside the camp, the Huotou Army was already busy preparing breakfast, and cooked sticky meat porridge in a few big pots, exuding an attractive aroma.
Qin Lei nodded, and Shen Qing hurriedly raised the horn at his waist to his mouth and blew it. The desolate and low voice circled in the empty field. The team members had long been used to being commanded by the horn. They woke up almost at the same time, and after a moment, they were dressed neatly and concentrated in front of Qin Lei. In the darkness, three hundred pairs of eyes were watching their leader - teaching them, inspiring them, and caring about them Qin Lei.
Qin Lei whispered: "Snack for dinner." The team members silently found their place. The team leader filled each of them with a large bowl of meat porridge, and Qin Lei was no exception.
Half a quarter of an hour, the soldiers lined up again after a full meal. They found that Qin Lei had changed, and his usual relaxed and elegant had been replaced by a silent power, as if a wolf was staring at his people coldly, ready to lead them to pounce on groups of prey or fight desperately with powerful enemies.
After a brief look at each other, Qin Lei took off his helmet and hugged it in his arms, his long hair flew in the night wind, and he shouted: "My soldiers!"
All the team members smashed their left chests with their right fists, their voices neatly, and they had a soul-sucking charm.
"We used to have nothing, and now we have three hundred brothers of life and death! What we still have tomorrow are these brothers!"
"We are all young. We all dream of fighting for the country, dream of making achievements, and dream of being famous for the rest of our lives! Right!"
"Yes!" This is the answer from the wolf pack, neat and loud.
"Of course, the most realistic problem is that we have to go home and return to our hometown we have been thinking about day and night." Qin Lei's expression was a little slow.
The team members laughed as if they were embarrassed about this idea. At this moment, some of them thought of their old mothers at home, some of them thought of their girls who had been married, and some of them thought of the big locust tree at the east end of the village. The feeling of homesickness spread rapidly.
"Now someone wants to block our way home and kill our dreams. What should we do?" Qin Lei roared in a rough voice, his eyes widening.
"Kill!!!!" The team members also stared at each other with thick voices. Someone shouted: "We want to go home! Whoever dares not let us go home, we will be the eighth generation of ancestors!"
"Yes, whoever doesn't let us go home will do it, we will do it to his eight generations of ancestors!" Qin Lei drew his sword and stood it in front of his chest, shouting with all his strength: "Share honor and share suffering with you!"
The team members pounded their left chest violently and said in unison: "Honors are shared, sufferings are shared!" The emotions were stirred up by Qin Lei several times, and they had reached a boiling point.
"Set out!" Qin Lei returned to his sword and entered the sheath, turned over the horse, and drove out first.
More than 300 riders followed each other in life and death.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Qi army that participated in the suppression of the rebellion in Yingzhou was a prefecture-fighting army of four prefectures, with nearly 20,000 people, led by General Xue Qidan, the general of Lingzhou. General Xue was a little excited recently: because of his timely rescue, the rebellious peasant army did not capture the city, but instead defeated Zhuluyuan under the attacks inside and outside, and was eventually surrounded by his army and was about to be destroyed.
Last night, General Xue and his colleagues were drinking and having fun until midnight, and returned to the tent in a dizzy mood. He vomited a few more times before going to bed. Before he could sleep for a long time, he felt the earth tremble slightly. General Xue said to himself: "You can't drink so much, you'll be dizzy when you lie down..." He turned over and continued to sleep.
Strictly speaking, Qin Lei's guards are infantry, not as if they were riding horses, and even the sons of Qin would ride horses. Qin Lei knew this very well, so he ordered the team to advance and then advance, and took advantage of the unfamiliar problem of the Qi State's prefecture army to penetrate into its junction. With the impact of the hundred cavalry advancing, he would rush to the military camp with the impact of the attack point. In choosing the assault point, the scout's opinion played a leading role, thus further improving the scout's position in Qin Lei's army.
The two battalions of Yumeng Army are ten miles from the north and south sides.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Qi army devoted all their energy to besieging the already lonely peasant army, and they never thought that anyone would attack from behind. When the first horse flew past a trench that was only two feet deep and three feet wide, neighing and breaking open the loose fence, the sound of alarm whistles rang over the camp.
The soldiers in their sleep did not have time to put on their armor, and picked up a weapon and rushed out. In this era of frequent wars, everyone knew that those who advance were alive and those who retreated were dead, although someone rushed out of the camp and found that they were holding kitchen supplies such as water scoops and rolling pins.
Under the service of his personal soldiers, General Xue finally put on his armor and picked up his sword and looked out. Except for the same embarrassing state soldiers, there were no enemies in the camp. General Xue murmured: "Is it a dream? I'm sleepwalking?" He slapped himself hard and almost fainted with a 'Ouch'.
"It's not a dream, what about the enemy who rushed to the camp just now?" General Xue wondered.
