CHAPTER XV

A carved arrow whistled across Qin Lei's body, taking away the jade pendant around his waist.

After Qin Lei landed, he rolled a few times, hid under a big car, and looked back at the top of the cliff, where the arrow was shot, at this time there was no one there, only the grass and trees shook slightly, I don't know if it was blown by the wind or how.

The grizzled Zhang Zhizhi was helped by Tie Ying, who sprained his foot while drilling down the carriage. Just happened to bump into Qin Lei getting out of the car.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, sat down face to face, and did not tease each other as usual, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

Iron Eagle was a little surprised and handed over the cold arrow, which turned out to be a headless arrow.

Qin Lei played with this headless arrow. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't have a clue, so he put aside and said to Guan Tao in a low voice: "I was wrong." I am responsible for such a big loss. Although the statistics were not reported, Qin Lei also knew that more than a dozen people were killed and dozens were seriously injured.

Zhang Zhizhi comforted: "Your Highness shouldn't blame yourself so much, if it weren't for your command, the loss would be even greater." ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said: "Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, if I didn't care about my uncle's face and personally trained the Shen Family Guard, instead of giving orders through my uncle in everything, I would never have gotten into the encirclement like today and be caught off guard." ”

Zhang Zhizhi was silent, he didn't know Qin Lei's background as a special instructor, he only said that His Royal Highness took responsibility for Shen Luo, but he was an uncle and nephew, so he couldn't say anything.

At this time, Shen Luo came over after cleaning the battlefield, his face was very bad, the statistics had come out, sixteen people were killed, eighteen people were seriously injured, and one percent of the combat power was lost in the time of a stick of incense.

Qin Lei helped him sit down, took out the dagger from his boots, picked out the bandage on his arm, probed slightly, and frowned: "It's hurt to the bone." "Asked Tie Ying to go to the car to get a splint, apply ointment and fix it, and finally wrap it neatly with gauze, and the front and back are tea kung fu. Shen Luo looked at his skillful movements, and felt strange in his heart, but he was covered by emotion and didn't ask.

After doing this, Qin Lei split his head and said, "Uncle, please authorize me to command the guards with full authority." ”

Shen Luo also understood his shortcomings, he had only fought with bandits, and it was very different from the real battle, and he was stunned by just a few boulders. It seems that he is still more promising as a businessman, he laughed at himself.

So he nodded, and smiled at Qin Lei: "I told you a long time ago, and our mansion is all at your disposal." ”

Qin Lei said gratefully: "I will definitely live up to my uncle's high expectations." "Everyone didn't mention whether Qin Lei had the ability to lead the army.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Qin Lei stood in the open space and let the iron eagle 'woo' blow the horn,

The inexplicable guards walked out of the tent one after another to check the situation. When he saw that His Royal Highness was looking at them with a smile, he hurriedly woke up his companions who were still sleeping soundly, and gathered in front of Qin Lei in twos and threes.

After a while, Qin Lei still asked with a smile, "Is it due?" One of them carried the box for Qin Lei, relying on his familiarity with His Highness, and replied loudly: "It's all here, Your Highness." ”

After thinking about it, he added in a whisper: "Except for the ones that can't be moved." ”

The crowd burst into laughter, and Qin Lei also said, "Brother Xu is really comprehensive. Then he clasped his fists and saluted everyone, and said solemnly: "This incident, thanks to the desperate guards of the big brothers, Qin Lei is polite." ”

Everyone was busy returning the salute, and their mouths were chaotic: "Dare not to die." "Your Highness is gracious." "That's what we should be."

Qin Lei stretched out his hand and pressed it falsely, and loudly announced that the guards who bravely killed the enemy would each have one hundred taels of silver, the wounded would be doubled, and the dead would be cared for. Suddenly, the camp burst into laughter. Everyone praised His Highness for his generosity

Qin Lei smiled: "You are the wrong person, I am also my uncle's generosity, and I haven't paid a single penny." ”

The guards also laughed and said: "Your Highness and our master are the same family, and thanking you is equivalent to thanking our master." ”

Qin Lei didn't argue anymore, and called out a few of the more prominent ones in yesterday's battle, and the rest went to rest separately.

There were twelve people in total, and Qin Lei appointed them as squad leaders, and asked them to nominate three captains to be in charge of combat, guarding, and reconnaissance respectively.

After some tossing, a man named Shi Yong was promoted to the captain of the battle, and he had only killed five Assassins, accounting for one-third of the total number of kills. The Xu Ge who was called 'Brother Xu' by Qin Lei was promoted to the captain of the guard. There was also a Hou Xin who was promoted to the captain of the scout. Qin Lei did not appoint Tie Ying as the captain of the guard, he had another task.

Qin Lei asked these people to sit down in a circle, standing in the center of the circle, looking at the excited faces, and scolding with a smile: "You didn't become a magistrate, did you?" ”

These freshly baked captains were busy stiffening their faces, Qin Lei rolled his eyes, and said, "If you want to laugh, laugh, you can't see this wilderness." ”

Everyone's expressions relaxed, and there was a chuckle.

Qin Lei added fire and said: "As a captain, the salary is much more, aren't you happy?" ”

The twelve people were like chickens pecking rice, nodding frequently.

Qin Lei's words changed: "But this also means higher requirements and heavier responsibilities." If you are overtaken in future training, you will be withdrawn; Whoever makes a mistake in battle will withdraw; Those who were collectively impeached by the team members, withdraw! ”

The three 'withdrawals' frightened the new officials for a moment, these guards are the servants of the Shen family, the longest has served the Shen family for eight generations, and they are the lowest figures in the great family, but they have all read and written books and practiced some martial arts, which is not comparable to ordinary people. These people all know that although the person in front of them is extremely rich in the Qi State, he will be a genuine prince in the Qin State as soon as he returns to the Qin State, and he is unspeakably expensive.

Seeing that there is an opportunity to rely on the nobles, who doesn't cherish it? Which one dares to be disobedient? What's more, this highness looks approachable and generous.

Qin Lei has no way of knowing the psychology of these people, even if he knows, he will only be happy, he understands that it doesn't matter if people have their own ideas, what matters is to be able to bring everyone's ideas together, the so-called concerted efforts, only when the hearts are united, the force will be used in one place. That's what it means.

Qin Lei asked the squad leader to voluntarily choose the captain, but four followed Shi Yong, three followed Xu Ge, and two followed Hou Xin. and let the Iron Eagle supervise the team leader to be selected by the team.

There were only Qin Lei and the three captains left in the field, Qin Lei said sincerely: "This Hanguguan is full of crises, and I also ask you to unite sincerely, if you return to Beijing safely, you will definitely share the glory and wealth with you." ”

The three of them got up and said excitedly: "Dare not to die for your life." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next, Qin Lei slowed down his march and trained three teams in the mountains, and the Qi State Protector urged him several times, but he let Shen Luo block them.

I walked 200 miles of mountain road for a month, and walked an average of seven miles a day! This also created a miracle in the history of the world's marches, Qin Lei laughed at himself.

A month can't fundamentally change this team, and besides, you have to guard against enemy attacks, and you can't practice too hard. Qin Lei just asked the combat squadron of one hundred and twenty people, in a group of three, to practice three talent formations: one person with a gun, one person with a knife, one person with a sword and one hand with a shield, which can be far or near, offensive and defensive.

Then they were divided into black and white, and they used improvised wooden weapons to stain them with white ash and attack each other. Sometimes the two sides are equal in number and fight happily, and sometimes there is a disparity in strength, causing one side to be beaten with a blue nose and swollen face. Qin Lei told the team members that they were refining their reactions in different situations, but gradually found that every time they played the inferior side and were beaten violently, almost all of them were the squads that were not actively trained the day before.

This discovery soon spread throughout the squadron, so the squad leaders gritted their teeth and yelled at their teammates: "If anyone cheats and cheats and makes our whole team beat, don't worry, the whole team will beat you again when you come back!" ”

For a time, the atmosphere in the camp rose, and no one dared to slack off in the training. When the squads were angry and gritted their teeth to make the training close to actual combat, from time to time someone was beaten and couldn't get up, and the squads began to fight each other. An unscrupulous prince would come forward at the right time to comment on each team one by one, pointing out their shortcomings and praising their strengths. After that, it was the whole squadron dinner.

When the moon rose, the fireheads set up grills on the bonfire, peeled and washed the wild game such as gazelles and yellow sheep brought by the scouts, and brushed the ingredients over and over again. The flesh gradually turned golden, and the fat seeped out, and it crackled and dripped on the fire, stirring the flames one by one. It also made the saliva of the combatants sitting in a circle gurgle.

When Qin Lei took out two jars of wine like a trick, the atmosphere suddenly reached **. Qin Lei handed Shi Yong an altar, picked up one himself, and waved his hand to pat open the mud seal. Shi Yong also did the same. The team members seemed to smell the wine. There is a big addiction shrugging his nose vigorously, and his face is full of intoxication.

These people have been sleeping in the open since they left Beijing, and the wine they brought with them has long been drunk, and I am afraid that they have not smelled alcohol for a month.

Qin Lei raised his hands above his head and shouted, "Get drunk together!" After speaking, he raised his head and took a sip.

After drinking, he shouted, "Rejoice! Then he passed the wine jar to the first one on the left, and the team member was excited, and he also took a sip of it, and shouted, "Happy." ”

The players who were sitting together were a little awkward when they saw their opponents who were fighting each other. But as the wine jar passed through a pair of hands, I suddenly remembered that everyone was a robe who fought side by side, and they were brothers who could rely on each other for life and death, so they looked at each other embarrassedly and smiled, and drank the little awkwardness.

All this was seen by Qin Lei, he and Shi Yong looked at each other and smiled, drew out the knife, and divided the fire.

~~~~~~~~

On the second day of training, the morale of the players was high and the training was more serious, but there were no deliberate hurtful actions, and the atmosphere was much better.

Qin Lei said to Tie Ying: "It is inevitable to be injured in training, but you must pay attention to controlling the emotions of your subordinates and don't bury hidden dangers for future conflicts." Iron Eagle bowed down and was taught.

~~~~~~~~

For the ninety people in the escort squadron, Qin Lei mainly taught them how to protect important people, especially His Royal Highness the Prince, which was naturally handy for him to teach. What outposts, lines, stand-ins, covers, broken backs, etc., are demonstrated and explained in the same way.

They were also taught how to assault and support combat teams. Also use the method of the battle squadron, group confrontation, and the poor performance will be assigned the most unlucky task next time.

~~~~~~~~~~

As for the scout squadron of seventy people, it is not as good as the previous two teams, Qin Lei deeply feels that the scout ability of this era is weak, and he has found his heart to train these rookies. Sometimes a few turnips are hidden in the camp and ordered to look for them in a squad, and if they don't find it, they won't have dinner, and the saved dinner will be given to the team that finds the most turnips.

Qin Lei told them that this was to exercise their ability to find clues.

Sometimes they would put some turnips on the top of the mountain ten miles away, draw some strange pictures, and order them to climb to the top of the mountain in small groups and turn back. The team members were full of thought that this time it was who would take back the radish first and who would win, when a group of people rushed to get the radish back, Qin Lei announced that all the teams had painted those strange paintings that they had just seen on the top of the mountain, and the radishes were dumbfounded all of a sudden, and their eyes were wide eyed: I did have an impression, because it was too visually impactful, but I really didn't go to my heart.

In the end, Hou Xin's team drew five patterns, and although they were all plausible, they also won the championship. The average one was painted two or three, and the worst one was not drawn.

Qin Lei said with a straight face: "The degree of the scout, the waiter waiting, the degree, is the first requirement of the scout, which is to add his own thinking and judgment, since he found an abnormality, why not think?" Why not write it down? Stupid like a cow! Speaking of the back, he laughed too.

Everyone's hearts and livers dare to flutter, Your Highness, oh no, he asked the team members to call him 'instructor', the instructor is good at everything, but it is too scary to start a fire, and often make people mistake his age.

Qin Lei didn't cancel anyone's dinner in the end, after all, he didn't say the rules, but he clearly told the team that there would be no rules for future tests.

"Instructor, what the hell is that?" While eating, I finally asked boldly.

Qin Lei smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know what it is in a thousand years." ”
