Chapter 182 Mastiff Tribe Allegiance

After Zhu Shou captured the Holy Sect envoy, he said goodbye to Li Qing and left, and the ancient painting, I don't know whether Zhu Shou forgot it intentionally or unintentionally, and did not take it away, but left it on Li Qing.

Li Qing didn't ask Zhu Shou about the identity of the Holy Sect's envoy, because Li Qing knew that if he could say it, Zhu Shou should have told himself, since Zhu Shou didn't say it, it meant that the person's identity was very special, and Zhu Shou didn't dare or didn't want to tell Li Qing.

Looking at the mastiff who was tied up by the five flowers, Li Qing's eyes showed a hint of surprise, although the leader of the mastiff tribe looked unruly, but from his eyes, Li Qing still smelled a trace of fear, it seems that this person is not as tenacious as he seems on the outside.

Meng Hu came to Li Qing and reported: "General Qiqi, we were attacked by this barbarian tribe last night, and we killed a total of 152 soldiers, including one general, seven commanders, and another 400 soldiers were injured. ”

Li Qing frowned, he didn't expect the loss to be so big, originally there were only more than 1,700 soldiers under Li Qing's command, but now there are more than 500 less combat strength, it can be said that it has completely reached the point of breaking the muscles and bones.

Li Qing looked at the mastiff, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and said: "You sneak attack our army's city, injure my soldiers, you deserve death, come here, drag this person out, and behead him." ”

Several soldiers of the Qin army came from outside the door, dragging the mastiff and about to go out, the mastiff was startled and hurriedly struggled, so he struggled and said: "General, spare your life, general, spare your life." ”

"Report, General Zhang Han urgently ordered, and General Li Qing immediately led his troops to Langya to join the division and fight the Langya rebels with General Zhang Han."

At this moment, a scout horse hurriedly ran in and brought Zhang Han's order.

Zhang Han marched into the army, and for some reason, he did not wait for the soldiers and horses of Beihai County and Jibei County to arrive, so he launched an attack on Langya City in advance.

Li Qing looked at the order, a little headache, last night's battle, the combat strength of the soldiers under his command was greatly reduced, and now there are only a thousand people who can fight, and the other injured soldiers, if they want to go to the battlefield, it will take at least half a month.

"General, this general, I am willing to take my people as the vanguard and fight for the general, and I only ask the general to spare our lives."

The mastiff, who had been dragged to the door, seemed to sense the vitality and hurriedly spoke.

When Li Qing heard this, his eyes lit up, the combat effectiveness of the mastiff tribe warriors Li Qing had already heard Menghu say it, it could definitely be described as fierce, and at this time, the eight hundred warriors of the mastiff tribe, in addition to those who died on the spot, there were more than 500 captives, if these captives were used as vanguards, they could indeed make up for the loss of combat power of the Qin army.

Li Qing waved his hand and asked the soldiers to send the mastiff back, Li Qing looked at the mastiff and said, "What did you just say?" ”

Seeing that there was hope for survival, the mastiff hurriedly said: "General, I am willing to take the warriors of my tribe to be loyal to you and become the warriors under your command, as long as you give us a bite to eat, I dare to guarantee that our warriors are the most heroic warriors in the whole world." ”

After Li Qing listened to the mastiff's words, his heart moved slightly, he was moved, but when he thought that these mastiff tribesmen had killed so many Qin soldiers last night, would it shake the army's heart if they were accepted?

Li Qing looked at Meng Hu, who nodded, signaling that Li Qing should accept the allegiance of the Mastiff tribe.

Since he had received Menghu's approval, Li Qing knew that his acceptance of the mastiff tribe's allegiance would not cause dissatisfaction within the Qin army, so he nodded and agreed to the mastiff tribe's allegiance.

Li Qing said to the mastiff: "I can accept the allegiance of your tribe, but how can I trust that you are truly loyal? I don't want to let you go and you become my enemy again. ”

The mastiff looked at a beast tooth on his chest and said: "General, this is the token of our mastiff tribe, the teeth of the war mastiff, today I will dedicate the beast teeth to the general, from today on, I swear in the name of the god of war, I am willing to be loyal to the general forever, if there is a violation, let my clan be abandoned by the god of war, all die on the battlefield." ”

Li Qing took off the animal teeth on the mastiff's neck, and the mastiff's eyes showed a trace of reluctance, but when Li Qing put the animal teeth on his neck, the mastiff looked at Li Qing with a hint of inexplicability.

The mastiff chose to recognize Li Qing as the master, and the captured warriors of the mastiff tribe also all declared their allegiance to Li Qing, with the more than 500 warriors of the mastiff tribe, Li Qing's strength was not only not weakened because of last night's battle, but his combat power increased greatly.

Li Qing asked the mastiff to move all the other people in his tribe to Philadelphia, this is to prevent the mastiff from having two hearts, the mastiff hesitated for a moment, and finally asked a mastiff tribe warrior to take a group of Qin soldiers to Philadelphia, all the old and young in the tribe to Philadelphia, at least to ensure that there is enough food, so that the children in his tribe will not starve to death.

After everything was settled, Li Qing took the mastiff tribesmen and a thousand Qin soldiers to Langya City.

At this time in Langya City, Zhang Han's 3,000 soldiers and horses laid down a phalanx, the center of the phalanx was dominated by archers, and all the foot soldiers holding swords and shields on both sides, the outermost part of the phalanx was the elite halberd of the Qin army, and the sharp halberd could make the enemy fearful.

Compared with the Qin army, the rebels appeared to be outnumbered, and laid out two large circle arrays, the rebel soldiers' weapons were mainly wooden sticks and short swords, among which the elite was equipped with the equipment of the army led by Yan Ying, Yan Ying brought enough equipment to arm the rebels with 5,000 soldiers and horses, and these 5,000 soldiers and horses also became the personal guard of the rebel leader Tian Tai.

Zhang Han looked at the two rebel legions in a mess, with a trace of disdain in his eyes, such an army is also trying to make chaos in vain, and he really doesn't know whether to live or die.

It's just that what makes Zhang Han feel strange is how such an army defeated Yan Ying? Although Yan Ying has a reckless temperament, Zhang Han, who is capable of leading troops, must still admit why such a general would be defeated in the hands of the rabble in front of him.

Among the rebels, a general rode out of the battle on a war horse, stopped two hundred steps in front of the Qin army, and said loudly: "I am Ma Ben, the general of the Qi State, can the Qin general dare to fight with me?" ”

When Zhang Han heard this, a sneer appeared on his face, he was a fighter in front of the battle, a mere traitor, and his courage was not small.

Zhang Gu, the general beside Zhang Han, said with a smile: "General, let the last general go and take the head of the traitor and dedicate it to the general." ”

Zhang Han nodded and said, "Okay, remember, don't damage the spirit of our army." ”

Zhang Gu laughed and said, "Don't worry, general, just a traitor, don't worry." ”

Zhang Gu slapped his horse and speared out, came to the front of the formation, restrained the war horse, and said to Ma Ben: "What are you calling the horse?" It doesn't matter, let's go up and die. ”

Zhang Gu's contempt made Ma Ben grit his steel teeth in anger, and he slapped the horse to kill Zhang Gu with a roar.

Zhang Gu snorted coldly, raised the spear in his hand, and held Ma Ben's axe, and then knocked it back hard, knocking Ma Ben's axe back.
