Chapter 259, Odd Soldier 4

Wang Bao paused slightly, waited for Bai Qi to catch up, and said breathlessly: "General, if you chase like this, the men and horses will be scattered too far, in case you encounter official reinforcements, you won't be able to resist it." [No pop-ups. 】”

Bai Qi snorted: "Don't care about anything else, just capture the fierce tiger alive." ”

Wang Bao knew that Bai Qi's method of using troops was that if he didn't fight, he would not fight, as long as he hit, he would fight until the enemy was completely destroyed.

Bai Qi knows better that Fierce as a Tiger has already fallen for his two sneak attacks, and there will never be a third time, if you let Fierce Tiger escape today, in the future, Fierce as a Tiger will definitely be more careful, and it will not be easy to win at that time.

So he made up his mind to intercept him and capture him alive before he fled into the city.

Fierce as a tiger also ruthless, desperate to beat the horse and gallop, followed by more than 300 personal guards, most of the others have run away, only these hundreds of people are still alive to protect him.

But the Qin army had already caught up.

From time to time, powerful arrows were fired, and the roar of the air was terrifying. There were also many people in the pro-soldier guards who were shot and killed.

Fierce as a tiger ordered those pro-soldiers to organize themselves to resist, these people were forced to be helpless, so they had to work in a team of dozens of people, turn their horses' heads, and fight to the death with the Qin army.

However, the Qin army was fierce and there were many people, and dozens of officers and soldiers were not worth sweeping at all, and after a while, there were only more than 30 closest guards left around the fierce tiger.

Bai Qi saw that there were very few people who were as fierce as tigers, and ordered the Qin army to spread out the formation, like two arms, from both sides to surround the fierce tigers.

At this time, they had approached the county seat of Huating.

As fierce as a tiger, he has seen the city wall from a distance, and the villages and towns outside the city, as long as he runs a few miles more, he can reach the city, as long as he reaches the city, the city head will respond, and he is not afraid of the Qin army chasing and killing.

At this time, the officers and soldiers at the head of the city had already seen the overwhelming men and horses in the distance, hurriedly beat gongs and drums, and began to prepare for battle.

Bai Qi was anxious in his heart, at this time he saw that the wolf smoke had been lit on the head of the city, and he began to set up defenses, as long as the fierce tiger approached the city, he would inevitably be rescued by the city, and it would be too difficult for him to capture the fierce tiger alive.

At this time, he had to settle for the next best. You can't catch a fierce tiger, and you can't let him run away.

So Bai Qi ordered the whole army to release the arrows.

For a while, the sound of bowstrings sounded in the Qin army's array, and arrows rained down.

The two sides were not too far away, and the Qin army's riding and archery skills were quite good, almost half of these arrows did not miss, and they shot into the group of fierce tigers.

No matter how powerful the general is, he can't resist such a dense rain of arrows, and in the blink of an eye, he is as fierce as a tiger and more than 30 of his own soldiers, all of whom were killed by arrows, and even men and horses were shot like hedgehogs.

Bai Qi killed this group of people with random arrows, and took the Qin army to the front, and saw that the fierce tiger had been hit by more than 30 arrows, and he was indeed dead, so he sighed and led the Qin army to roar away.

The officials and soldiers at the head of the city looked at it from a distance, where did they dare to go out of the city, and they wished that these demon kings would leave quickly.

When the Qin army was far away, the county commander and general in the city came out, walked up to the group of people who were killed by the arrow, took a closer look, and couldn't help but be surprised.

The county commander and the general all knew that they were as fierce as a tiger, who would have thought that this fierce general would die here, and die right under their noses.

Both of them shuddered, as fierce as a tiger to die in the city, they would be charged with the crime of "not saving the fighter when they see death, and delaying the fighter". At the worst, he was dismissed from his official position, and at worst, he was exiled to the army. The two of them discussed and decided to take the fierce tiger corpse more than ten miles away, creating the illusion of a field death. Then report to the governor of Gansu.

Not to mention how these two people exonerated themselves, let's talk about it, after killing the fierce tiger, he knew that he couldn't stay for a long time, so he immediately led the army back to Longxian. On the road, I saw many wounded officers and soldiers, lying on the side of the road and shouting for the sky.

When Bai Qi saw these people, he immediately came up with another plan. He ordered a few lightly injured ones to be treated, gave them food and clothing, and then sent more than a hundred Qin soldiers to let these wounded people lead them to Pingliang City.

Those few wounded knew that Bai Qi was using them to deceive Pingliang City, but more than a hundred Qin troops were holding them, and as long as they showed a little flaw, they would be killed immediately. In addition, Bai Qi also rewarded them with some silver coins, which made these people grateful, and with both soft and hard help, these people agreed to lead the way.

Bai Qi let them go into Pingliang City, and when the army came to attack the city, they opened the city gate, and the inside and outside should be combined to conquer Pingliang in one fell swoop.

After these people went, Bai Qi and Wang Bao took people back to Longxian City.

When I arrived at the city, I saw that the city gate was closed, and the city was full of Qin troops. Li Yan has already waited for Lei Sheng, stabilized the people in the county, and is waiting for Bai Qi to come back.

Bai Qi and Wang Leopard entered the city and told them about killing the fierce tiger, and Li Yan was also very happy.

They rested in the city for two days, then reorganized their men and prepared to attack Pingliang.

At this time, more than 100 people sent by Bai Qi had already entered Pingliang City, and the guards in the city were very panicked when they got the news that they were killed like a tiger, and the four gates were closed and strictly defended. He didn't expect at all that these people were pretended by Qin Jun. As soon as the wounded were questioned, there was no doubt that they were indeed fierce as tigers, and the guards settled them down to recuperate.

Bai Qi attacked again overnight and hit Pingliang City.

There was no way to sneak attack this time, because the city was well prepared, and Bai Qi was not prepared to attack hard.

When the morning came, he ordered a great fanfare and horns sounded, so frightened that the guards at the head of the city immediately transferred all the horses to the head of the city to defend. He learned from that group of men who were as fierce as a tiger that the Qin army had more than 30,000 people this time, and they were all elite soldiers, and they couldn't even be defeated by fierce tigers, let alone themselves.

At this moment, the more than 100 Qin troops in the city began to move.

They also came to the city gate with weapons, and saw that there were dozens of defenders in the city gate, holding iron shields and spears, waiting for the battle to prevent the city gate from being broken open and the Qin army from attacking.

These people never dreamed that there would be Qin troops behind them. When the more than a hundred Qin troops arrived behind them, they suddenly shouted and killed.

Dozens of defenders were caught off guard and more than half were killed, and the rest were either seriously wounded or fled. The Qin army immediately opened the city gates.

When the guards at the head of the city heard that the city gate was secretly attacked, they knew that there were already spies entering the city, and immediately ordered people to recapture the city gate, but at this time, the Qin army had already formed a formation and withstood the attack of the official army with shields and spears.

Bai Qi could see clearly outside the city, and immediately ordered the siege of the city.

The Qin army of 10,000 horses slammed into the city gate, braving the rain of stones and arrows at the head of the city, and rushed into the city.

As soon as the city gate was broken, the hearts of the officers and soldiers were immediately in turmoil, and there was news that they were as fierce as a tiger and died in front, and they were very afraid of the Qin army in front of them, where they dared to resist, most of them abandoned the city and fled, and a small number raised their hands to surrender.

The defender was stabbed to death by Lei Sheng, and Pingliang City soon became the bag of the Qin army.

Bai Qi was very happy, and immediately counted the treasury, and at the same time sent people to move the people.

Li Yan was patrolling the city, and suddenly heard a cry everywhere, he hurried to look, and saw a street where Qin soldiers were driving the people from house to house, asking them to move and move to Shaanxi.

Where are those people willing to move, they are looking for death and life, kneeling and begging. But the Qin army was ordered by the general, and he was willing to relax a little, so it became a stalemate. Fortunately, the Qin army was strictly disciplined, and Bai Qi ordered that no civilians should be killed or injured, so there were no casualties.

Li Yan saw how this could work? Aren't you chasing ducks to the shelves? So he immediately came to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi was commanding the people to clear the money and grain in the treasury, and when he saw Li Yan coming in a hurry, he knew that there was something urgent, and sure enough, Li Yan came to the head and said: "General, doing this is going to cause chaos." ”

As soon as he heard this, Bai Qi understood that Li Yan had come to relocate the people, and he asked expressionlessly, "How do you say this?" ”

Li Yan said: "As the saying goes, the homeland is difficult to leave, the fox is dead, the people are unwilling to move away, you do this, you can only use force, even if they are moved away now, it will not be long before they will sneak back, do you want to send someone to guard these people after they are moved to Shaanxi?" Therefore it cannot be used strongly. ”

Bai Qi said: "But don't be strong, how to let them relocate?" ”

Li Yan said: "You can be good at seduction and move people with emotion, I think there must be someone who is willing to go." General, let me handle this matter. ”

Bai Qi thought for a while: "Okay, Li Gongzi, I know that you are a good person, and it may be much better for you to do it, but I can remind you that it will take two days at most." Two days later, at night, I had to leave here and go back to Meixian. ”

Li Yan nodded: "Two days, okay, just two days." ”

After asking for the general order, Li Yan immediately sent people to the streets of the city to issue the order, and the people should no longer be forced to move.

After the city was quiet, Li Yan asked people to find people of high moral standing in the city, and did some work for them, so that they could convey the meaning of the Qin army, if anyone was willing to follow the Qin army to Shaanxi, they were welcome, if they were not willing to go, they were left to their own devices.

In the end, Li Yan came up with a killer idea and issued a relocation order. The order made it clear that as long as you go to Shaanxi with the Qin army, you will be taken care of by the Qin army on the way, and you will have no worries about three meals, and after arriving in Shaanxi, you will immediately distribute land and real estate according to the head, and after the land is distributed, within three years, you will be exempted from paying taxes and never paying grain.

Li Yan was afraid that his words would be unfounded, so he added at the end: If you don't believe it, you can give the money first. Whoever follows Qin Jun will be rewarded with one or two silver.

This is a sensation in Pingliang City. Gansu is already very poor, the rich are very few, most of the people have no land, can only work as tenant farmers for the rich, working hard all day long, but it is difficult to make a living. In their opinion, a tael of silver is simply a huge fortune.

As a result, there was an incredible scene in Pingliang City, and many people came one after another, wanting to follow the Qin army.
