Chapter 40 Black Bear
"Whew~"
Li Qing and the four guards of the Meng family walked all the way, and gradually entered the depths of the dense forest, along the way, Li Qing shot a golden chicken, two pairs of hares, and an unknown chickadee, which can be regarded as a rare harvest.
"Meng'an, have you ever seen the Huns?"
Li Qing suddenly looked at the Meng family guards who were carrying a hare next to him and asked, Meng An, one of the Meng family guards, is a simple-looking man with a short beard and thick eyebrows and big eyes, if it weren't for a scar on his face, he should be a handsome man.
Meng An nodded and said, "I used to follow the head of the family to fight with a few Hun barbarians in the clouds, and those barbarians have average skills, but they are very good at archery. ”
Speaking of archery, Li Qing showed embarrassment on his face, his archery talent was really average, for example, there was an elk just now, which could be easily shot down, but Li Qing made three arrows in a row, but all of them failed, and finally startled the elk, and finally found nothing.
At the mention of the Xiongnu, Meng An's face showed hatred, and he touched the scar on his face, which was left by the Huns.
"Not good, there's big guys."
Li Qing was about to continue to ask Meng An about the Huns, when he suddenly felt an eerie silence around him, and one of the Meng family's guards pointed to the trembling bushes in front of him and said uneasily.
When Li Qing heard this, he hurriedly took out his bow and arrows and aimed them at the bushes, while the other four guards all put down their prey and pulled out the long sword at their waists.
"Knock"
A black bear covered in black hair and six feet tall burst out of the bushes, two bear paws slapped the ground, and his eyes glared at Li Qing and the others viciously.
"Bear ......"
Li Qing's face showed a nervous look, and as soon as his fingers loosened, a feathered arrow shot directly at the black bear's head.
"Whoosh"
The feather arrow did not fall on the head of the black bear, but shot one of the arms of the black bear, the black bear was in pain, and slapped the ground frantically, for a while, the dust was flying, Li Qing and the others hurriedly retreated, avoiding the dust.
"Whew"
"Be careful."
Because the flying dust obscured the view, when the black bear pounced out of the dust, Meng An was pounced by the black bear on the spot.
Seeing this, Li Qing hurriedly threw down his short bow, pulled out his Heavenly Death Sword and slashed at the black bear, and the other three Mengjia guards also hurriedly slashed at the black bear with their swords.
Meng An put his arms against the black bear's head to prevent the black bear from biting him, but it was clear that Meng An was about to lose his hold.
"Poof"
Seeing that the black bear was about to bite Meng An's head, Li Qing didn't think much about it, and stabbed the black bear with a sword in the open blood basin.
"Click"
The black bear bit on the Heavenly Death Sword, which was made of extraterrestrial meteorite fragments, which was extremely hard, and the black bear's bite suddenly broke two fangs, and the pain made the black bear let out a scream of "Woo Woo Woo".
"Puff"
The other three Mengjia guards took the opportunity to stab the weapons in their hands into the black bear's body, and the three sharp swords stabbed into the black bear's body together, and the black bear's screams suddenly stopped, and with a "bang", he fell to the ground with a bang.
"Quick, get the bear out of the way."
Li Qing hurriedly beckoned the Meng family guards to move the black bear away, because Meng An happened to be pressed by the fallen body of the black bear, and he had already begun to roll his eyes at this time.
The four of them hurriedly moved the black bear's strong body away, at this time, Meng An's face was pale, his eyes turned outward, and his eyes even showed signs of congestion, if Li Qing and others didn't move the black bear away in time, I am afraid that Meng An would have suffocated to death.
Removing the black bear, Meng An finally eased up, Li Qing poured a few more mouthfuls of water on Meng An, Meng An coughed a few times, and regained consciousness.
Hunted a black bear, plus Meng An was injured, so Li Qing decided to return after consulting with a few people.
Li Qing cut down tree branches to make a simple stretcher to carry Meng An, but looking at the black bear, several people were a little difficult, except for the two guards who carried Meng An, only Li Qing and a Meng family guard were left, and the two had no way to move the black bear's body away.
Li Qing was worried about Meng An's injury, and said: "In this way, the two of you will first send Brother Meng An to join the brothers outside, and then call some people to carry this black bear, Brother Meng Ping and I are guarding the black bear here, what do you think?" ”
Meng Ping, the eldest of the four guards of the Meng family, is also a veteran of the war, who has followed the head of the Meng family for two generations, and can be said to be experienced in a hundred battles and has rich combat experience, but after all, he is old, so Li Qing chose to let the two strong guards carry Meng An, and left Meng Ping to accompany him to guard the black bear.
The guards of the Meng family had already been instructed to obey Li Qing's orders, and Li Qing's arrangement was quite reasonable, so several people had no opinion.
After Meng An was carried away, Li Qing looked at Meng Ping, whose face was full of wind and frost, and suddenly became a little curious about this man.
"Brother Mengping......"
"It's okay for adults to call me Meng Ping, the eldest brother can't afford it."
For Li Qing's title, Meng Ping hurriedly refused, Li Qing saw this, and did not insist, although according to the traditional virtues of respecting the old and loving the young, at Meng Ping's age, it is not an exaggeration for Li Qing to call him an uncle, but the status of the Qin Dynasty is still very clear, although Meng Ping has experienced a hundred battles, but for some reason, there is no title, and Li Qing is a Great Qin official, with a title, so Meng Ping naturally did not dare to call Li Qing a brother.
With nothing to do, Li Qing asked Meng Ping about the war, as a teenager living in a peaceful era, Li Qing was full of curiosity about war.
Meng Ping sighed and said: "Great Qin swept Liuhe, unified the Eight Desolations, these feats are all built by the flesh and blood of our countless brothers, when we followed General Meng Tian and attacked the Qi State, at this time the Five Kingdoms have been destroyed, the Qi State is lonely, and it is only a matter of time before it perishes." ”
No one thought that in that battle, tens of thousands of elite Qin troops would be killed or wounded, and even Meng Tian himself almost died under Linzi City.
Through Meng Ping's words, Li Qing realized that Daqin was not monolithic, Meng Tian's father Meng Wu and Wang Jian had a disagreement, although the two veterans had reconciled later, but the juniors Wang Ben and Meng Tian still looked down on each other.
The battle to destroy Qi was originally Wang Ben as the main general, and the credit was naturally taken by Wang Ben alone, but Wang Ben did not attack the city for three months, and Yingzheng was unwilling to delay the time to unify the world, so he let Meng Tian lead the army to help the battle.
Wang Ben mistakenly thought that Meng Tian wanted to snatch merit from him, so he deliberately let Meng Tian face the main force of the Qi army during the battle, and he took the main force of the Qin army to bypass the main force of the Qi army and enter the city through the side gate.
Meng Tian did not see through Wang Ben's calculations, 20,000 Meng's soldiers faced a Qi army several times his own, and could only fight to the death, in that battle, 18,000 Meng's soldiers were killed, and only 2,000 seriously wounded soldiers survived, and the main force of the Qi army was all annihilated.
It is precisely because of this battle that Meng Tian's prestige was shocked, and he was faintly known as the first warrior of Daqin, and although Wang Ben made great contributions to destroying the country and was knighted for his merits, he made a feud with the Meng family, and the two major generals have been at odds since then.
