Chapter 36 The Qin people helped bravely

Lu Pheasant was originally sitting under the tree eating slowly, but the dust raised by the scout Pegasus when he passed by made her lose her appetite directly. Xia stood up and was about to scold the other party, but was stopped by Lu Pheasant: "Probably what's going on ahead, otherwise have you ever seen a scout rushing directly to the camp on the road?" ”

Xia thought about it for a while, and she really didn't remember when the scout behaved like this, she remembered that she had encountered robbers in Wei last time, and couldn't help but look at Li Xin worriedly.

Lu Pheasant saw that Li Xin was eating bread in a big gulp, and when he heard the news that the scout had reported like him, his face changed, and he spit out the food in his mouth and shouted to the soldiers who were eating: "There is an enemy attack!" Quick collection. ”

Lu Pheasant couldn't help but think of her mother wanting to stop her before she set off, saying that whatever she said, it must be no problem and she will not encounter danger. It's too early to say that he encountered danger before he entered the beam.

The soldiers who were eating heard the order and threw the food in their hands back into the basket of bread. Picking up the weapon he was carrying, the shield guard also took out the large shield of the car behind him. The crossbowman also took out a bundle of crossbow arrows from the rear cart, fell to the ground on his back, and began to wind the crossbow with his feet. The archer silently wears a thumb or a wooden or stone wrench, which is used to protect the fingers that draw the string from being injured by the bowstring that springs back.

Lu Pheasant looked at Li Xin and planned to use the car frame to form a formation, so he couldn't help but run a few steps forward to his side and asked, "Why don't you use the car formation as a basis?" Don't you want to attack it directly? ”

Li Xin frowned and glanced at Lu Pheasant before he said slowly: "The last general is going to send someone to send you out of this place, and the last general will lead his troops to stop the enemy." ”

"There are so many bandits near Daliang, they must have come for me. If the King of Wei doesn't want to see me, he doesn't have to let me pass through the pass, he can stop me directly in the northern border city. Thinking like this, it is probably that the anti-Qin ministers in the court are preparing to kill the envoys to prevent the Qin and Wei alliances. The more urgent the situation became, the clearer the thoughts in her mind became, "If you use the car as bait, General Li will lead his troops to ambush in the forest." They are bound to chase the chariot, and the general can attack halfway, and he will surely defeat the enemy. ”

"Good! Then ask the envoy to hide in the forest first, and I will send someone into the forest later. Li Xin thought about it, this is also the best choice, if he can't fight back the other party, Lu Pheasant will be caught after all.

Lu Pheasant greeted Xi and picked himself up and ran towards the depths of the jungle. Some of her servants were instructed by Li Xin to drive along the main road to escape, and he led people to clean up the trail and retreated into the forest with the rest of the soldiers. Several scouts on horseback were sent to the edge of the woods to wait for support or chase the fleeing defeat.

Li Xin led people into the forest a hundred steps deep, and the grass was so high that the forest was dense and could only faintly see the road surface outside the forest. They waited quietly in the forest for each other to arrive, hoping to take one by surprise.

Gongzi didn't want to go into battle in person, but the guest at home said: "If the Lord can kill the Qin envoy, he will definitely become famous all over the world." He thought about it and felt that it was very reasonable, everyone in the world was afraid and respectful of the Qin envoys, only he could lead the disciples to kill the Qin envoys, what kind of bravery was this.

He took the dead guards at home to swagger out of the city gate in the name of going out of the city for a safari. The guards had seen too much of this group of nobles getting tired of playing in the city and took people out hunting, and they thought it would be the same this time.

It's just that he didn't learn the art of war, and the guards at home were not strictly trained, and although he took more than 200 people with him, the outside of the city was like a plate of loose sand. Childe was very annoyed when he saw it, and he also hoped that he would be able to spread his reputation in the future, these people were really embarrassed by themselves. He sent his doormen to make a queue of these fools with great difficulty, and then continued along the road to the path of the letter.

Because Gongzi had never brought soldiers and horses, he didn't expect that not long after this group of people left, only an hour or two, they were already tired and out of breath, and there were many people who fell behind. He had to pause for a moment to rest, gathering the scattered guards before continuing north.

This is the reason why he already knew where Lu Pheasant came from, but he still didn't ambush him in time. After noticing that some scouts had seen them turn back from afar, he let his men charge forward with horses and accelerate without horses. I have to say that since Wei lost Hexi and Hedong, there are really few horses in the country.

Childe gave the order, but more than a dozen horses rushed forward. The rest of the brigade continued to use their sore legs to move forward. The knight who was chasing forward saw the car running away in the distance, and had to send someone back to report to Childe.

When he heard this, how could he accept that he had returned in vain, and urged his subordinates to be stricter. The whole team could hear loud gasps, and Li Xin, who was waiting in the dense forest, was stunned by their stupidity.

Although the edge of the woods was hastily cleaned, if the knight looked closely, he could still see that something was wrong. But they went straight to the carriage in the distance, without stopping to check. What's even more stupid is that the knight is far out of touch with the infantry behind, and the leader also exhausts the infantry's strength.

Li Xin saw that there was already a loose and sloppy team on the road ahead of the dense forest, he stood up and whistled at the soldiers lying on the ground, and charged forward with his spear clenched.

At the top of the forest were the shield soldiers, who rushed out of the woods with heavy shields first, forming a thin array in front of the road when they reached the road. Some of the spears were behind the shields, and some were spread out into the two wings. In the middle of the semicircle are crossbowmen, who shoot arrows at the loose line in front of them.

To tell the truth, at the end of the Warring States Period, the Qin army was not afraid of the world except for encountering strong generals. Their ranks were so orderly that they stared at the enemy before them as if they were staring at a field of lordship, and no army could stop them. Not to mention, the Qin army was well-armed, and the strength of Qin's crossbow was famous all over the world after the weakening of Korea.

During the large-scale siege battle, the Qin army broke the enemy's courage with a large-scale crossbow attack, and when it attacked the city again, it was like a bamboo.

Back now, when Childe's team was exhausted and had to chase a distant car, it didn't stop passing through the dense forest. But he was attracted by the rustling sound in the forest, and he was caught off guard when he saw the Qin pawn holding a heavy shield, and then there were the spearmen, and before they could meet each other, they shot a few rounds of arrows from the rear and knocked Gongzi's pawns down.

No matter how stupid Childe was, he knew that he had been ambushed, and shouted at the panicked soldiers: "Queue up!" Lined up! ”

The panicked ranks are in front of the enemy, where there is a chance to line up. Not to mention that Gongzi didn't bring a shield when he went out, only some archers. Those doormen used to be indecent with long soldiers, and they had to use short swords. Qin Dadun raised his short sword and couldn't even reach it, but he was poked to the ground by the spear sticking out of the gap.

It is also a kind of happiness to be directly beheaded on this chaotic battlefield, if a blood hole is poked in the abdomen and falls to the ground, it is better to live than to die. Not only was he trampled by the two sides, but he was also smashed by heavy shields from time to time. You must know that in order to prevent the heavy shield from being pushed by the enemy, there are spikes under the shield. As long as this shield is poked on the ground, it can block the push of several people.

Gongzi watched his archers shoot soft arrows because of their exhaustion, which could be easily blocked by the Qin people with their hands. The Qin people's crossbow arrows were heavy and heavy, and he saw that an archer had just pulled out his bow, and his eyes were pierced by an arrow through the back of his head, revealing a bloody triangular arrow.

The soldiers on his own side reacted slowly, but they were defeated by the killing god who was the leader. He held a spear that was more than half a foot long, and the tip of the spear was as cold as a silver snake, and from time to time he reaped a human life, and in a few moments, more than a dozen people died under his spear.

The shield-wielding soldiers continued to squeeze Gongzi's position, and some of the doormen who had never experienced such a bloody battle threw down their weapons and were about to flee backwards. The people in front frequently looked back, seeing that there were people fleeing behind, and they were not ready to die here.

Xi let Lu Pheasant ride on his neck and watch the battle on the battlefield from afar in the forest. Asked her to evaluate this battle in one word, she could only say that this group of Wei people was vulnerable. Now the only question is when will they collapse, how many will they be able to escape, how many will be captured?

To be honest, if they don't surrender early, the red-eyed Qin soldiers may have to cut off every one of their heads as their own combat exploits.

Gongzi saw that the general situation in front of him was gone, and he had to let his subordinates surrender, and some who were unwilling to surrender pushed him out of the carriage, snatched the carriage and fled. Leaving Gongzi to cry without tears, why didn't this battle develop as he envisioned?

Lu Pheasant watched Li Xin's subordinates clean up the battlefield before they came out of the forest. Because Gongzi blamed one side for seeing the Qin soldiers rushing out of the forest, the soldiers who fled fled to the other side.

Li Xin looked at the captive son in front of him, who was gorgeously dressed but embarrassed, and he didn't know where to throw his hair crown, and his hair was very pitiful. I also knew that it must be the main messenger of this attack, and carried him to Lu Pheasant's side.

Gongzi was still reluctant to tell his identity, but Lu Pheasant stared at him coldly and said, "Then you will die heroically here, and we can know your identity when we enter the city." ”

When he realized that this child was not joking, he cried and called out to his mother about his identity and why he knew that they were taking this path.

Li Xin only knew how to fight, and he didn't know how to deal with the people in front of him. He looked at Lu Pheasant, and Lu Pheasant took him to a quiet place with understanding.

"I don't know what the messenger will do with this son?" Li Xin felt that he was a hot potato, and it was a trouble to kill him and not let go.

Lu Pheasant smiled at Li Xin, in front of such an upright and simple soldier, she didn't want to say her plan, but for the sake of the overall situation, she defined this matter: "Today, the envoy of the Qin people encountered Gongzi being attacked by bandits on the road, and the envoy sent his guards to help Gongzi heroically to rescue him." General Lee understands? ”

Although Li Xin is a simple-minded general, he is not a fool. He thought about it for a while and realized the advantage of saying this: controlling the current Qin-Wei conflict in a small area could not only exert pressure on the Wei king, but also maintain the reputation of the Qin people in the Wei state. After all, they didn't want the Wei people to become the next Zhao people, and after the Battle of Changping, the Zhao people regarded Qin as a mortal enemy. The Qin army had to spend a greater price every time to attack Zhao in order to defeat the enemy.
