CHAPTER XVII

Qin ** Fang needed a reason to fight, and Qin Lei gave them: there is no better reason than being attacked by the Baisheng Army on the way back to China.

Through the increasingly mature scouts, Qin Lei knew that the two battalions of the Baisheng Army were stationed on the east and west sides of Yingzhou, and no matter how fierce the riots inside and outside the city were, they did not participate in the battle. According to the detailed report sent to Yingzhou earlier, there are at least three groups of people of unknown origin waiting for him in the city. This is the reason why Qin Lei was struggling in the first half of the journey, he wanted to give the enemy enough time to choose the best sniper location - Ying Zhou in the chaos undoubtedly met the requirements, and it was easiest to shirk responsibility here.

~~~~~~~~~

When Qin Lei woke up, the sky was still full of stars. He took off his robe and untied the six heavy bags on his body, which contained iron sand, a total of eighteen catties, and he had been carrying them since he basically recovered.

From the large bag he was carrying, he took out a piece of linen cloth and placed the contents on top of it. A familiar feeling, I would have done this before I went on a mission in my previous life, and it was very feeling.

Qin Lei first put on a close-fitting soft armor, this soft armor made of black gold silk, heavenly silk and ice crystal silk is light and comfortable, invulnerable, it was given by Shen Luo, the only drawback is that the breathability is not good, and it will cause prickly heat when worn for a long time in summer.

Then put on a black combat suit that was extremely strange for this era, put on combat leather boots, and inserted two daggers into it. Another arm crossbow was attached to the left arm. Then fasten the wide cowhide belt firmly, and hang five or six bags such as the Throwing Knife Bag and the Thunder Bag, as well as two special hand crossbows. Finally, an extended mountain knife is inserted behind the back. The total weight of the whole body equipment is eighteen pounds, which is exactly the same as the weight of the unwinded.

Qin Lei lifted the tent and strode outside the camp, and Shen Qing, who took over the responsibility of Tie Ying, followed silently, his delicate little face a little tense. In the open space outside the camp, the Firehead Army was already busy preparing breakfast, and a few large cauldrons were boiling sticky meat porridge, exuding an enticing aroma.

Qin Lei nodded, and Shen Qing hurriedly raised the horn on his waist to his mouth and blew it, and his desolate and low voice swirled over the empty field. The team members had long been accustomed to being commanded by the horn, and they woke up almost at the same time, and after a while, they were fully dressed and concentrated in front of Qin Lei. In the darkness, three hundred pairs of eyes were staring at their leader—Qin Lei, who taught them, encouraged them, and cared for them.

Qin Lei said softly: "Open the meal." The team members silently found their positions, and the team leader filled a large bowl of meat porridge for each person, and Qin Lei was no exception.

Half an hour later, after a full meal, the soldiers relined their ranks, and they found that Qin Lei had changed, and his usual ease and elegance had been replaced by a wordless majesty, as if a wolf was staring coldly at his people, ready to lead them to pounce on hordes of prey, or fight to the death against a powerful enemy.

After a brief look at each other, Qin Lei took off his helmet and hugged it in the crook of his arm, his long hair fluttering in the night wind, and said loudly: "My soldiers! ”

All the team members smashed their left chest with their right fists, and their voices were neat, with a kind of soul-stirring charm.

"We used to have nothing, and now we have three hundred brothers in life and death! Tomorrow we will have these brothers! ”

"We are all still young, we all dream of fighting for the country, dreaming of making contributions, and dreaming of lasting forever! Right! ”

"Yes!" This is the answer of the wolves, neat and loud.

"Of course, the most realistic problem is that we have to go home, back to our hometown that we have been dreaming of for a long time." Qin Lei's expression eased slightly.

The team members laughed, as if they were embarrassed by the idea. At this moment, some of them thought of the old mother at home, some remembered the girl who was married, and some thought of the big locust tree in the east of the village, and the homesickness spread rapidly.

"Now that someone is going to block our way home, to kill our dreams, what are we going to do?" Qin Lei roared in a thick voice, his eyes widened.

"Kill !!!" The team members also stared at each other and shouted in thick voices. Someone shouted, "We're going home!" Whoever dares not let us go home, we will his eight ancestors! ”

"Yes, whoever doesn't let us go home, we will his eighth-generation ancestor!" Qin Lei pulled out his sword. Standing on his chest, he shouted with all his might: "Honor is shared with you, and suffering is shared with you!" ”

The team members violently tapped their left chests and said in unison: "Honor is shared, suffering is shared!" "The emotions have been teased by Qin Lei several times, and they have reached the boiling point.

"Let's go!" Qin Lei put his sword back into the sheath, turned over on his horse, and drove out first.

More than 300 riders are accompanied by life and death.

~~~~~~~~~

The Qi army that participated in the counterinsurgency in Yingzhou was a state soldier from the neighboring four states, nearly 20,000 people, led by the Lingzhou general Xue Qidan, who had recently been a little high-spirited: because of his timely rescue, the rebellious peasant army did not capture the city, but was defeated to Zhuluyuan under the internal and external attacks, and was finally surrounded by his army here, and it was about to be destroyed.

Last night, when General Xue and his colleagues were drinking and having fun, they returned to the tent in a drowsy state, vomited a few times, and fell asleep. didn't sleep for long, he felt the earth tremble slightly, and General Xue said to himself: "I can't drink so much, I'm dizzy when I lie down, I ...... dizzy" turned over and continued to sleep.

Strictly speaking, Qin Lei's guards belong to infantry, not that riding on a horse is a cavalry, even the sons and daughters of the Qin State can ride horses. Qin Lei knew this very well, so he ordered the team to rush forward and advance again, taking advantage of the unfamiliar cooperation between the Qi State and State troops, and fiercely inserted into its joint, relying on the impact of the hundred cavalry to rush into the barracks. In the selection of assault points, the opinions of the scouts played a leading role, thus further improving the status of the scouts in Qin Lei's army.

The two battalions of Baisheng were ten miles on the north and south sides.

~~~~~~~~~~~

All the energy of the Qi army was spent on besieging the peasant army, which had become a lone army, and it was never thought that someone would attack from behind. When the first horse leaped over a trench only two feet deep and three feet wide, neighing and crashing through the loose fence, the siren sounded over the camp.

In this era of war, it is a truth that everyone knows that those who enter live and retreat die, although some people rush out of the tent to find kitchen items such as scoops and rolling pins.

The embarrassed General Xue finally put on his armor under the service of his own soldiers, picked up the sword and came out to see, except for the equally embarrassed state soldiers, there were no enemies who stepped on the camp, General Xue muttered: "Is it a dream?" Am I sleepwalking? He slapped himself so hard that he almost fainted.

"It's not a dream, but what about the enemy who rushed to the camp just now?" General Xue wondered.
