Chapter 21: The Turtle in the Urn?

After a burst of ghosts and wolves, the front of the Qi army turned into a sea of fire, and the wails continued one after another. Seeing this, General Xue, who was watching the battle from a distance, snorted and ordered Ming Jin.

When the screams of the mortal screamed and ran back, the kind-hearted soldiers poured water from the water bladder on them, but the fire not only did not go out, but there were signs of more vigor. At this time, a veteran suddenly realized: "It's vegetable oil, the water can't be extinguished, roll on the ground quickly." ”

Those Qi soldiers who had been burned to the point of delirium could not listen, and the old soldier who spoke turned his hand upside down and swept hard, immediately sweeping to two. After the two fell to the ground, they unconsciously tossed on the ground, and the rest of the Qi soldiers who were burned were also thrown to the ground by their comrades......

The fire on these people was finally extinguished, and the Qi soldiers in front of the battle saw that these people were charred all over, and in some places there were large pieces of bare red flesh, faintly emitting fragrance. Look at that face again, it has been unrecognizable, and it has been burned to a stake. Rao is these soldiers have experienced dozens of battles, and their minds are tenacious, and they can't help but be frightened when they see it, and they vomit one after another, and they dare not look at it again.

As soon as he came up, he was demoralized, and General Xue was extremely annoyed in his heart, and he said to the soldiers around him: "Kill those wastes and reorganize the attack."

The soldiers were slightly stunned, beat their horses and ran to the front, and conveyed the general's order to the forward captain.

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

More than a dozen crossbow arrows shot out of the array, and they were sticking into the poor men on the ground who were weak and wriggling.

The Qi army was indifferent.

After a long time, 2,000 infantrymen reappeared in front of the formation, holding up a large shield three feet long.

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

Although the oil bottle is good, the peasant army lacks nothing but people, and this time if it were not for the fact that the officers wanted to show themselves in front of His Highness and make atonement for their crimes, they would not have used it.

The user manual distributed to them by Qin Lei clearly wrote: It is advisable to break the dense enemy, the enemy who can move slowly, and the enemy who is riding should not be attacked.

Although they were still a breakable enemy at this time, the officers had to restrain their addicted subordinates for fear of ruining their families.

Officers shouted and shouted, and some peasant soldiers crowded to the front with spears in hand.

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

After asking Shi Wei, Qin Lei took him and several captains to the lookout tower, and the peasant army that ran back and forth along the way respectfully bowed their heads when they met them. Qin Lei looked at Shi Wei strangely, and Shi Wei also shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

The watchtower of the peasant army was dozens of zhang behind the front line. I have to say that there is a specialization in the art industry, although there is no discipline in these bitter haha, it is not a problem to build a platform tower or something. I saw that the tower is nearly ten zhang high, built by several zhang long logs, the ingenious collocation between the logs, mutual support and even force, and reinforced with wooden wedge hemp rope, the bottom of the wooden piles buried deep in the ground, rammed extremely solid, to the tower with strong support.

Qin Lei admired and climbed the stairs, and soon arrived at the lookout, where he had a panoramic view of the reckless deer plain, and his vision was wide open. He saw tens of thousands of peasant troops in front of the camp holding spears, ferociously stabbing the Qi infantry who were throwing sandbags into the trenches. Thousands of Qi shields raised their shields high with all their might, trying to build a barrier for their sandbag throwers. The two sides fought fiercely across a one-foot-wide ditch.

Qin Lei somewhat despised the command ability of the generals of the Qi army, and at this time, placing a bow battalion on the front line could immediately suppress the peasant army that lacked long-range strike capabilities. He didn't know that archers in this era were not easy to come by, and a skilled archer needed at least one year of rigorous training, which was one of the most common training cycles in the era of cold weapons with huge troop consumption. Crossbowmen, another ranged class, are easy to train, but crossbows are not easy to make and expensive. These two arms can usually only meet the needs of the major border guards and the Gyeonggi garrison, and these state armies can be divided into scaly claws, all of which are offered like treasures, how can they be sent to the front line to adventure. General Xue only had 500 bow battalions in his hands, as well as 50 crossbowmen who had shot and killed the wounded soldiers in front of the battle just now.

Pulling back the thoughts that were slightly off the line, Qin Lei looked into the distance, at this time, the east was already white, and there was a golden light brewing where heaven and earth intersected, and there seemed to be a glimmer of smoke and dust......

Essen.

It's really an endless person, and I'm afraid that the sky will play tricks. Qin Lei laughed to himself. According to the original plan, his team would leave as soon as it touched the peasant army, and when the peasant army entangled the Qi army and the Baisheng army, he would calmly go west.

Now because of the different thoughts of his subordinates, he dragged himself here, and saw that he had become a turtle in an urn.

Qin Lei glanced at Ma Kui, who was tied up on the side, and motioned for the guards to untie him. Ma Kui rubbed his sore arms and begged to look at Qin Lei.

Qin Lei stretched out his index finger and said coldly to him: "Ten thousand, I can only take ten thousand." ”

Ma Kui was ecstatic at first, then a little disappointed, and he hissed and asked, "Can you bring more?" ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said resolutely: "The rest of the people must buy time for those who leave, otherwise none of them will be able to leave." Say no more, get ready to go. ”

Ma Kui knelt down for Qin Lei again, kowtowed desperately, and said, "Your Highness, let's think of a way again, bring more brothers!" They'll see you as a savior. ”

Qin Lei was not good-tempered, but when he saw Ma Kui dragging mud and water like this, his heart was on fire, and he flew up and kicked him on the shoulder, kicking him to the ground on his back. Snorted coldly: "Woman's kindness! You must leave at least 20,000 men behind the break, get out! ”

Ma Kui also knew that fifteen thousand was already a very cumbersome number, although he still couldn't bear it in his heart, he finally kowtowed and said, "Your Highness is merciful." Sinners will die for you. ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "You can't break off, I can't call your people." ”

Ma Kui wanted to say something, but seeing that Qin Lei's face was not good, he had to hold back, Shi Li turned around and went downstairs.

Ma Kui's original plan was to ask His Highness to lead the peasant army to move together, and he simply thought that if his army had an advantage in numbers, then the disadvantage in strength should not be so great. The reason why he has been defeated again and again is because his own people are not good at commanding, and it should be no problem to change the chief of the guard Tie Commander of His Highness, he knows that Tie Ying was one of the famous 'Five Tigers' in the army five years ago, and he is the best at fighting tough battles.

Unexpectedly, Tie Ying was not by Qin Lei's side, his heart was half cold, and he lost his fighting spirit for a while. I didn't expect that the kind-hearted little prince who was originally in the capital turned out to be such a powerful character: leading a group of wolf-like subordinates to control the situation while talking and laughing.

Maybe this highness can too, he has regained a little hope, people are most afraid of no hope, even if it is only a little, he will clung to this life-saving straw.

Ma Kui returned to his military tent, and the man returned to his former calm, and stretched out his hand to stop the words of concern left and right. He whispered to the people around him: "Let all the people behind the tent withdraw, and call all the people who had a meeting here last night." Be quick, time waits for no one. ”

The pro-soldier asked tentatively, "Including Lord Shi?" ”

Ma Kui nodded, sighed heavily, and leaned weakly on the Taishi chair. His Highness didn't send anyone to follow him, but he could feel several pairs of eyes watching him in the dark.
