Qin State Chapter 251 The Night Attack of the Qin Clan
There was no food in Yanmen, Li Qing hurriedly spread the news to Shangjun, Li Qing knew that there was not much grain and grass in Shangjun at this time, and the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops was not something that the people in Border County could feed.
Li Qing stood on the city wall, his face full of trouble, Zhang Hu stood next to Li Qing and said: "General, why bother, we are short of food, the enemy has more soldiers than us, and their food must be in short supply." ”
Li Qing smiled bitterly: "Ah Hu, do you know, this grassland people never bring grain and grass to fight, they often bring groups of cattle and sheep with the army, slaughter cattle and sheep as food when they are hungry, and graze cattle and sheep on the grassland on weekdays. ”
After Zhang Hu heard this, his mouth opened wide in surprise, he was still thinking about how much food the million army outside the gate had to consume in a day, but he didn't expect that the alien races outside the gate actually didn't eat grain, but ate cattle and sheep.
Not only Li Qing is worried about food, Fusu in Shangjun is also worried about food, since the death of Qin Shi Huang, Hu Hai ascended the throne, Shangjun has never received a trace of supply from the imperial court, all the grain and grass, all rely on Meng Tian in Shangjun for military tuning, but the land in Shangjun is not suitable for farming, and the grain and grass obtained are far from enough to feed hundreds of thousands of troops, therefore, the grain and grass in Shangjun has been tight, after Xiang Yu arrived in Shangjun, Fusu took the initiative to tell Xiang Yu about the difficulties.
Xiang Yu learned that Fusu was short of food, and he couldn't help it, although Xiang Yu won the land of Xianyang and got a lot of books and money, but only this grain and grass, Xiang Yu didn't get much, and at that time, the world was short of food, and when the Kwantung princes returned to their fiefdoms, they also asked for a piece of grain and grass, so although Xiang Yu was able to provide a grain and grass to Shangjun, at most it was enough for Shangjun for March.
The moonlight was sprinkled on the ground, and Li Qing vaguely noticed that there seemed to be a figure surging outside the gate.
"Could it be an enemy attack, quickly, inform the soldiers."
Li Qing's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said to the soldiers beside him.
When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly came to the war drum and prepared to beat the drum to inform the sleeping soldiers and horses.
"Whoosh"
No sooner had the soldier picked up his drumstick than he was shot in the neck with an arrow, and before he could scream, he collapsed in a pool of blood.
"Damn, everyone on alert, enemy attack."
Seeing this, Li Qing couldn't help but curse secretly and shouted loudly.
Many of the soldiers guarding the pass had fallen into a deep sleep at this time, and after being awakened by Li Qing's roar, they had not reacted for the first time, and at this time, Li Qing heard the sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" in his ears, and looked closely, and he didn't know when the female wall had appeared.
"Knock Knock Knock"
A Qin soldier picked up the drumstick on the ground and beat the war drum with all his might, the war drum sounded a few times, and in the darkness, a feather arrow shot at the soldier's body again.
"Poof"
A masked Qiang soldier had just appeared, and before he had time to rejoice, a cold light flashed, and the head of the Qiang soldier had already flown out.
At this time, when the Yanmen Gate was closed, there were only five hundred soldiers, but it only took a moment to hold on, and the rest of the sleeping soldiers could arrive, so Li Qing was not very worried.
"Poof"
The weapons of the soldiers of the Qiang nationality are mainly long swords, which is very similar to the Central Plains people, but the appearance of the Qiang people surprised Li Qing very much, many of the Qiang people actually look very similar to the Western races that Li Qing knows.
"These people are actually white."
Li Qing secretly claimed in his heart that the alien race would attack Yanmen at night, which was beyond Li Qing's expectations, although the alien race had attacked Yanmen once at night before, but Li Qing was still negligent, because in Li Qing's eyes, the alien race has always been a barbarian, although their force is not weak, but their IQ is worrying, but now it seems that their IQ is not bad at all, and the idle battle in the days is just to paralyze Li Qing, unfortunately, Li Qing was fooled, if it weren't for Li Qing's sleep, he climbed to the gate to admire the moon, may have really been successfully attacked by this group of Qiang soldiers.
Although Li Qing led the soldiers guarding the pass to frantically kill the soldiers who came to sneak attack, the soldiers of the Qiang tribe finally began to occupy the Guan Tower, and more and more Qiang soldiers poured into the Guan Tower, all of them wearing silver masks, and under the reflection of the firelight, they looked particularly hideous.
"Bell"
The defenders and the soldiers of the Qiang tribe fought together, the elite of the Qin army, but the Qiang tribe is not weak, they are the warriors of West Kunlun, different from the general grassland tribes, the soldiers of the Qiang tribe will be herdsmen and soldiers very clearly, as long as they are selected as warriors, they no longer need to graze, the grazing of the Qiang people, all their lives are just herding, do not need to participate in the battle, which is a good guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the Qiang people, when they are not fighting on weekdays, they are also constantly training, such a professional army, even if it is Daqin, is also very rare, Fortunately, there are few people in the Qiang nationality, otherwise, the entire grassland would have been the world of the Qiang nationality long ago.
Li Qing clenched the Tai'a sword in his hand, and in front of him, five Qian soldiers appeared.
"Kill."
Li Qing let out a loud shout and drew his sword, and the Tai'a sword slashed through the neck of a Qian soldier at an extremely fast speed.
The other four Qian soldiers took the opportunity to wave their long swords at Li Qing, Li Qing used the Tai'a sword to frame the long swords of the four, and then raised his foot to kick two of them over, and the remaining two were shocked, and Li Qing swept out the Tai'a sword, and both of them fell in a pool of blood.
The two kicked over Qiang soldiers got up, the two looked at each other, and then killed Li Qing together without fear, Li Qing's wrist shook, the Tai'a sword in his hand shone with cold light, only to hear two pops, the two Qiang soldiers fell in a pool of blood with their necks covered.
"Ahh
The soldiers of the Qin army also began to have casualties, in the dark, I don't know how many soldiers of the Qin nationality climbed up from under the city tower, Li Qing took the Qin army to fight hard, but it was still occupied by the soldiers of the Qin nationality on the Guan Tower, more and more soldiers of the Qin nationality began to gain a foothold on the Guan Tower, and at this time, reinforcements finally arrived.
Zhao Shi, Zhang Hu and Liu Shu and others led the soldiers and horses to the Guanlou, and with the help of their new force, the Qin army successfully drove the Qian soldiers off the Guanlou.
The soldiers of the Qiang nationality seemed to have understood that they could not get benefits, and began to retreat slowly, Zhang Hu and others had the intention to pursue, but were dissuaded by Li Qing, Li Qing said: "This time only the soldiers and horses of the Qiang tribe came to sneak attack, Xianbei and Ding Ling's army did not participate in the battle, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not hide outside the pass, once our army is out of the pass, it is very likely that they will encounter their ambush." ”
The sky gradually turned white, and the soldiers of the Qin army looked at the corpses of the soldiers of the Qin tribe curiously, they had never seen such strange-looking aliens, and they pointed at the corpses one by one, and talked about it.
Li Qing frowned, Li Qing hadn't noticed it in the dark, at this time, the sky was bright, and Li Qing found that the weapons of these soldiers of the Qian tribe were all iron, and these iron weapons were well-made, and they were not much better than the bronze weapons of the Qin army.
"Quick, take these weapons and show them to Zheng Qiu."
