It was originally planned, and it didn't take long for Ma Kui to deploy the mission. Looking at the colleagues who came out of the stream. He laughed at himself in his heart, after all, it was still not as noble as he thought, and the 15,000 people were all the descendants of the officers in yesterday's account, and he did not arrange for the real ones to be cut off.

Seeing the heavy loneliness on his face, Shi Wei stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, wanting to say something comforting, but he couldn't find a suitable sentence.

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

On the lookout, Qin Lei looked at the peasant army that had already formed a whole team in the rear of Dazhai, and then looked back at those who did not seem to have been affected in any way, and were still fighting bloody battles at the front, and suddenly felt that these peasant armies were not as unbearable as the history books said, at least the tenacity and sacrifice spirit in a desperate situation were not something that ordinary armies could have.

The sound of footsteps sounded in his ears, it was Hou Xin, Shi Yong, and Xu Ge, who stood still behind Qin Lei, waiting quietly. Qin Lei turned his head, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. He carefully looked at his three squadron leaders one by one before he said softly: "This is the first time you have led the army, and this is the critical situation. I'm so sorry. ”

The three of them had different faces, Shi Yong had a resolute face, pursed his lips tightly and said nothing; Xu Ge's face was sad and he stopped talking, while Hou Xin didn't seem to feel the atmosphere of life and death, and still looked at his highness with a smile.

Qin Lei took three hand crossbows that were two inches long and two inches wide, pitch-black and shiny from Shen Qing's hands, and distributed them to the three of them. Qin Lei asked Shen Luo to customize a batch of parts, many of which were not up to specification, and only eleven crossbows were assembled. He has three of himself, one of Shen Luoguan Tao, two of Tie Ying, and two of Shen Qing, and these are the last three.

These crossbows are small and delicate, flexible in operation, and commendable in their lethality as hard crossbows, and can be fired up to seven times in a row. These captains have long coveted this treasure. At this time, when he held it in his hand, he was overjoyed one by one, leaving Fang Cai's worries behind.

Qin Lei couldn't help but hit them and said, "This is my self-defense weapon, and I will lend it to you now." ”

When Hou Xin heard this, he was surprised: "Do you want to take it back?" The other two also looked at Qin Lei pitifully.

Qin Lei said with a smile: "Whoever can make it to the rendezvous site alive, I will send him." ”

Hou Xin and Xu Ge nodded with a smile, but Shi Yong was a little silent, and after a moment, he asked in a rough voice: "If you can't make it, will Your Highness take it back?" ”

After saying that, he also reacted and laughed embarrassedly.

Qin Lei saw that the tension had vanished. Only then did he solemnly say to the three people: "You must keep in mind three principles: first, if you can escape, you will not fight; second, give up resolutely when it's time to give up outsiders; Third, protect yourself. ”

The three of them stood solemnly, hammered the left breastplate with their right hand, and saluted Qin Lei.

Qin Lei also straightened up, and clasped his right hand to his left chest to return the salute.

The gate of the back village was opened, and a cavalry team drove out first, followed by an army of 10,000 people in rags. After running six or seven miles, this strange procession was divided into five parts by the sound of the vast trumpet, and each of them had seventy or eighty knights leading three thousand foot soldiers, marching in different directions.

At the place where they departed, there were 20,000 peasant troops, struggling to resist the increasingly fierce attacks of the Qi army, and despite the heavy casualties, they still fought to the death, and their belief was simple and terrifying: since their own death could keep their comrades alive, it would be better than dying together. What's more, among those who left were their own brothers and nephews.

~~~~~~~~

With 20,000 peasant troops desperately blocking them, the Qi army finally had no chance to intercept the other part of the escape. This is the disadvantage of using 20,000 people against nearly 40,000 people, it is okay to break up and defeat, but it is impossible to annihilate them all.

In fact, Ma Kui can also lead half, or even more, of the peasant army to break through. It's just that he doesn't have the determination of a strong man to break his wrist. And Qin Lei has never lacked this kind of courage, this kind of courage to break other people's wrists.

~~~~~~~~

After the five parties parted ways, Qin Lei ran northwest with one of them. Out of the Qianzhou Mountains to the west, there are thousands of miles of plains - this is also the foundation of the wealth of the Qi State, and the capital of the Qi State is located here.

Because most of them are infantry, the speed of the team is not fast. Travel up to 80 miles a day. According to intelligence, the Baisheng Army dispatched two battalions of elite cavalry this time, and it was more than 300 miles long and day and night. When he heard the news, Qin Lei was very surprised, even if the Han ruler was used in this era, it was also an incredible speed.

Qin Lei was already familiar with the large-scale military map of Qi State. The route he chose for his team was just enough for the Hundred Victories to annihilate at most two troops. As long as they can persist in traveling 80 miles a day, there will be three troops that can escape from danger. The total is 10,000 people.

It's the equivalent of throwing yourself at a roulette wheel with a 3 out of 5 chance of escaping. Since the probability of success is greater than half, then do it!

The team took all the rations of the battalion and could hold out for ten days. Eight hundred miles is exactly the distance to the intended place.

Qin Lei strictly demanded the marching speed of the troops. Along the way, if you don't enter the village or the city, you insist on traveling 80 miles a day.

The Yum Army is the trump card of the Qi State and the pride of the Yum Gong. It has been in the army for more than 30 years and is known as a hundred victories. In fact, the number of victories has long exceeded 100.

So this unit is inherently responsible for victory. Even if the two battalions were prepared with a hundred victories, there was no room for mistakes.

When Zhao Kang and Zhao Tamp, the two captains of the reserve army, received the task of intercepting and killing protons and returning to China, they did not slack off at all because they had no challenge. After carefully studying the composition of the escort team, it was unanimously agreed that there was a report from the escort Qi army, and the whereabouts of this team would be grasped.

Under the circumstance of a huge disparity in strength and intelligence superiority, the two finally set the ambush location on the edge of the Zhulu Plain. The terrain was flat and suitable for cavalry charges. Moreover, it is located in the center of the Qianli Plain, so that the enemy will not be able to escape back to the mountains.

Even after waiting for an extra month, the two lieutenants did not think about changing locations. has been resting comfortably in the state army barracks, waiting for the prey to come to the door.

However, Zhao Kang and Zhao Ram were undoubtedly annoyed, and the team that was grinding and grinding suddenly got on the horse collectively in Ninggu County, and the wolf rushed to the top of the horse, leaving the Qi army who was monitoring and escorting far behind.

If it weren't for the news from a mysterious person, the two lieutenants almost lost their prey. When the news was received, the team had already traveled more than 300 miles. Fortunately, the Baisheng Army can travel 300 miles day and night, and it can catch up in two days at most. It's just that the volley turned into a pursuit.

Under the guidance of the mysterious man, the Baisheng Army was less than ten miles away from Qin Lei recently. At this time, 20,000 crazy people blocked the way. It took a day and a half to open the passage. After interrogating the captives, it was learned that the target had fled with the 15,000 rebels, and the two showed the Yum Gong token and transferred all the 3,000 cavalry from General Xue. Pursued violently.
