Qin Lei motioned for Yun Sheng to dress himself, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"A red signal flare was found in the sky in the north, it should be something found by Xu Tian. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Northside?" Qin Lei groaned. As a big man who probably attaches the most importance to scouts, even in China, Qin Lei will send a scout circle of thirty miles to the front and back and left and right every time he marches, and Qin Lei's scouts are different from other forces, they are composed of elite rangers with squads as a unit, with excellent individual combat ability and skillful cooperation, and can completely impact an army of 100 people. In addition to the Zhennan Army in the south, Qin Lei really couldn't imagine that there was a force that could make Xu Tian send the highest alert bullet.

And the Zhennan Army has formed a community of interests with Qin Lei, so it is impossible to attack him. The military situation was like fire, although he couldn't think of a clue, he still hurriedly gave a few orders: "Send scouts to probe again, rest in place, and wait for orders." "The intelligence is insufficient, and he can only deal with it so conservatively.

Shi Dang took the order and left, Qin Lei thought for a while, casually pulled the robe that Yunshang had just put on for him, and said in a low voice: "Armor." ”

There was no time to slander Qin Lei's repeatedness, Yun Sheng hurriedly opened the secret cabinet in the corner of the carriage, took out Qin Lei's special three-layer armor from it, and asked softly while untying Qin Lei's outer robe: "Lord Wang, is the situation very bad?" ”

Qin Lei nodded with a stern face: "Lone is too anxious for quick success, and he has dragged his guards into tired soldiers, and his combat strength is less than seventy percent on weekdays." And we are now in the plain area, there are no cities, mountains and forests within a radius of 100 miles, there is no danger to rely on, if someone wants to take the life of a lonely, now is the golden time. ”

Yun Sheng stopped talking, and concentrated on wearing cumbersome armor for Qin Lei. Qin Lei's armor has a total of three layers, the inner layer is a soft armor woven from a mixture of silk and black gold thread, which can resist swords and other slashes, and the middle layer is a delicate chain mail, all made of steel, which took three years to build, and is not afraid of heavy spears and swords. These two are the heirlooms of the Shen family, and he was afraid that he would encounter danger when he went south, so the old man secretly stuffed them to him.

Originally, Qin Lei also wore these two layers, but after seeing the two big sticks of Bo Xian Saiyang and Chu Qianjun, he consciously put on a full-body Mingguang armor specially made by the craftsman's mansion, this armor is not only more attractive than the black armor cavalry, but the price is also fifty times that of those black armor. Of course, the possibility of being slaughtered is not ruled out.

The three sets of armor were all draped, and Qin Lei immediately weighed forty catties, thanks to the price of every penny, otherwise a piece of outer armor would have to be so heavy. Fortunately, the clouds are good and strong.

Yunshang wanted to hang a scarlet cloak on Qin Lei again, but he stretched out his hand to stop him: "That's when it's okay to pull the wind." He pointed to the bottom of the bed and said softly, "There's a piece of armor underneath, I originally wanted to give it to you when we separated." Let's put it on first. Then he said viciously: "No matter how high your kung fu is, you are afraid of kitchen knives!" Don't say no! ”

Looking at his fierce appearance, Yunshang nodded happily in her heart. Only then did Qin Lei turn around and get out of the carriage and straddle the back of the dark clouds.

Just as he was on his horse, a green signal flare appeared in the southern sky again, "There is also an enemy situation in the south." Qin Lei said with a gloomy face, and then a bright signal flare also lit up in the west.

It became clear that his march route was known, and an ambush was set up waiting for him to drill. Qin Lei calmed down instead, and solemnly ordered: "The whole team, charge northward." ”

The guards responded with a bang and prepared without panic. Since the return of the Qi State, under Qin Lei's careful planning, they have been smooth sailing and have hardly suffered setbacks. In addition, the entire counterinsurgency campaign did not catch any decent battles, and at this time, when I heard that an enemy dared to use my mantis arm as a car, I couldn't help but feel a little excited, and the fatigue of the past few days seemed to be swept away.

They all took it for granted that it was the unworthy Maitreya Sect that had come to defeat the army.

Shi Dang whispered in Qin Lei's ear: "They will underestimate the enemy like this." Remind me, right? ”

Qin Lei shook his head slightly and whispered, "You must keep them excited, otherwise fatigue will surface." There is another sentence that he did not explicitly say, the enemy this time is probably not the Maitreya Sect......

The team was completed in a few dozen breaths, and all 2,000 people were lined up on horses, and as the direct guard of the king of Longjun, even the archers had to be skilled in riding. But Qin Lei still has to wait, he can't rush out without any intelligence.

There was a solemn atmosphere in the battle array, only the war horses snorted gently, and these grassland horses who could fight well obviously smelled the breath of battle and became slightly excited. The warriors seized the last time to check their equipment, wound their crossbows, took their quivers out of their horses, and hung them on the sides of their saddles......

At this time, Yunshang changed her armor and got out of the carriage. The armor on her body was specially designed and customized for her by Qin Lei, and the whole was made of the skin of the white horned rhinoceros, which was extremely tough and soft, and the vital and vulnerable parts were wrapped in fine iron, with a beautiful shape and light style, not as clumsy as ordinary armor, but excellent in defense.

After Yun Sheng put it on, he found that this armor seemed to fit as if it was tailor-made, whether it was shoulders, chest, or waist, it was just right, and he didn't know how he knew the data...... girl

I thought about it shyly, but it's more sweet, and the bad guys don't care about people at all.

Especially after discovering that it does not affect the lightness and flexibility of the body, the girl's heart is about to drip honey.

Looking at the heroic white-armored female general, Qin Lei was a little distracted, if he usually admired it carefully, and then made some indiscreet remarks to tease Yunsheng. But he was really not in the mood at this time, he quickly came back to his senses and whispered to her: "I know that you are good at kung fu, but the most important thing on the battlefield is discipline, so don't act without permission, just follow me closely." ”

Yunshang spit out her red little tongue, raised her head and chest, and said in a serious and coquettish voice: "Obey!" ”

Qin Lei couldn't help but smile slightly at her, but his gaze quickly turned to the north again, where a wisp of smoke and dust rolled up, and it was obvious that a team of knights was running from a distance.

After a while, the group of knights came to the front of the formation, and the first horse was the scout captain Xu Tian, who identified the location of Qin Lei's Chinese army, and raised the red order flag in his hand while galloping, and shouted: "Emergency military situation, all armies avoid." ”

Sen Ran's army split a gap and let him in. Seeing that Qin Lei was not polite, Xu Tian gasped and said: "A large number of cavalry were found in the north twenty miles, and the number was about four thousand to five thousand. Although it is covered with tattered clothes, the strictness of its military appearance is no less than that of the Zhennan army......"

The worst conjecture happened, a thunderbolt slashed through Qin Lei's heart, breaking the army! Attack the world's second largest army of captives!

Suppressing the ominous feeling in his heart, Qin Lei asked in a deep voice, "What is their marching route?" ”

Xu Tian pointed to the end of the road and said, "They are going to the southeast, and according to the speed, they will arrive at the official road exactly a quarter of an hour before us and intercept our way!" ”

"Did they find us?"

Xu Tian said confidently: "The subordinates have left people to follow them, as long as they change direction, there will be a signal." So until now, they haven't noticed us. ”

Qin Lei nodded and said in a deep voice, "Explore again." ”

Xu Tian was just about to take the order and leave, but Qin Lei suddenly beckoned him to come closer. Xu Tian approached Qin Lei with a puzzled face, and Qin Lei whispered in his ear: "Give you a task." ”

Xu Tian said angrily: "I will not give up when I go to the soup and the fire." ”

Qin Lei quietly took out the Black Tiger Head Token representing the authority of his county king from his arms, handed it to Xu Tian, and asked him to put it away closely, then he stared at him seriously and said, "After you get out of everyone's sight, you will try your best to gather the scout team, and then restrain them." Don't try to get back to the team. ”

Xu Tian opened his mouth wide, not believing that it was actually this kind of order with a taste of farewell, and he was just about to speak out to dissuade him, but Qin Lei grabbed his hand vigorously, and held back the words that came to his mouth. Qin Lei looked at him sternly, and said in a deep voice: "Things are not as bad as you think, but Mr. Gu has to keep some back, there is not much time, and you are not allowed to question it." ”

"Don't panic if you can't get in touch with the team, don't do anything stupid, and don't try to catch up. Lone trains you to be highly mobile rangers, not for you to go head-to-head with the enemy. What you have to do is to fall far behind, gather your fallen and wounded comrades, and if you can escape alone, you will naturally be met by someone. If...... You will go to Xiangyang Lake Water Village to find Qin Youcai, ask him to escort you back, find Guantao, protect him, and obey his command. ”

After saying so many words in one go, Qin Lei's face still did not change in the slightest, he thought about it, and added: "Take Shi Meng away, I owe them a favor to the two of them." With that, he waved his hand and stopped looking at him.

Xu Tian knew the priorities, for fear of affecting the morale of the army, he didn't dare to be too excited, his eyes were full of tears, and he said softly: "If there is really that day, Xu Tian will definitely follow the prince in the spring after completing all the tasks." The subordinate said goodbye. "I can't even kowtow to the prince, he doesn't know if it will become a lifelong regret.

Qin Lei's body trembled slightly, but he still didn't look back, just waved his hand, signaling that he knew.

After taking a deep look at Qin Lei for the last time, Xu Tian resolutely left the Chinese army, went to the front army where Shi Meng was, took out Qin Lei's token, and sent him out......

Looking at the back of the scout team leaving, Qiao Yunshang asked softly, "Why doesn't Your Highness leave?" But the conversation between the two did not escape her ears.

Qin Lei didn't answer her question, but instead turned his gaze to the two thousand living dragon and tiger guards, and everyone who noticed him would smile from the bottom of their hearts. Qin Lei also did not hesitate to smile at himself, and smiled at the group of people who were most loyal to him in the world.

Qiao Yunshang looked at Qin Lei's resolute back, and couldn't help but be a little stupid, it turned out that he couldn't leave these people behind......

In the Great Qin Empire, which advocates bravery, everyone is proud of dying in battle, and any general who abandons his subordinates will be spurned by the world forever, even if he is a prince.

Even if no one despises this kind of escape, Qin Lei will not run away alone, he has lived two lives, and he has not abandoned a comrade-in-arms......

Soon, the other two scouts also returned to the Chinese army, confirming the conjecture in Qin Lei's heart, there were also four or five thousand horsemen in the west and south, and the entire Broken Army was dispatched.

The Breaker Army in the south had the same destination as the one in the north, about twenty miles in front of Qin Lei. The enemy army in the west was obviously cut off from Qin Lei's back road, because they were afraid of alarming Qin Lei, so they were still a little far away, about thirty miles.

Hearing the complete information, Qin Lei closed his eyes, and the map of the entire Shannan came to mind. One hundred and ten miles to the north is Sheyang Mansion, one hundred and fifty miles to the south is Suizhou Mansion, and two hundred miles to the southeast is the East Camp of the Zhennan Army.

Quickly calculating various possibilities in his mind, Qin Lei chose a path that he was unwilling to take. Seventy miles to the north, then three hundred miles to the southwest, to take refuge in the Xiangyang Lake Water Division.

Qin Lei believed that on the way to flee to the eastern camp of the Zhennan Army, he would definitely bump into another part of the Broken Army. He could think of it, and others would definitely think of it, not to mention the Broken Capture Army, which was the best at interspersing in a roundabout. And if you go in the other two directions, you can't outrun the northern and southern roads.

Qin Lei wants to gamble, although in terms of strength, he can't run, and he can't beat the Broken Army, one of the eight armies of the forbidden army, but he doesn't believe that these Great Qin troops will not have the slightest psychological barrier to chasing and killing a prince, and several old people have told him that although the royal family can't control these armies, the lofty prestige accumulated over hundreds of years, as long as it is not too forced, is enough for them not to dare to add swords to the royal family.

Therefore, Qin Lei gambled that these broken captives were not the ultimate killing move, and the Taiwei would only count on them to drive themselves away, consume themselves, and wait until they were exhausted and weak, and the deadly poisonous arrow hidden in the shadows would be fired.

If Qin Lei wins the bet, as long as he doesn't try to pass through the area guarded by the Broken Army, the attack he will receive will definitely be limited. And this mentality at both ends of the first rat will definitely make the pursuit of the Broken Army less effective, causing the encirclement to reveal flaws, thus giving Qin Lei a chance to jump out.

If Qin Lei loses the bet, it will be the same as not betting, and he will die in a vigorous battle. This game is a sure win, Qin Lei said to himself.

Having made up his mind to find an opportunity in a wide range of detours, Qin Lei no longer hesitated, and said in a deep voice to Shi Dang beside him: "Northwest direction, go!" ”

After a slow start, more than 2,000 horsemen marched in the northwest direction.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Qin Lei's departure, the northern and southern armies would meet on the official road twenty miles to the east. The leading lieutenant of the Southern Route Army hurriedly rode his horse to the formation of the Northern Route Army, and saw Li Kejian, the general who came with the Northern Route Army.

Thanks to the strong bloodline of the old Li family, this General Li was also born with a big and burly face, although his beard was gray, his complexion was still ruddy and tight. And he is very similar to Li Hun, even three points more like Li Hun's younger brother Li Qing. If he dyed his hair and beard all white, he could have pretended to be Captain Li to go to court.

This is also his biggest distress, because he looks alike, and people in his fifties have been nicknamed "Little Taiwei", which is a nickname like a ya, and it is almost the same for his little nephew Li Sihai. He is Li Kejian, the general of the Great Qin Dynasty, how can he be Yanei.

But all the soldiers of the Broken Army thought that if they didn't look alike, the old captain would not give him such an important position, the second knife from the guard system, so the title of 'Little Captain' won the hearts of the army in the Broken Army. So much so that before the subordinate officers saluted him, they would cordially greet him with a "little captain" in their hearts.

"Little Captain." The middle-aged lieutenant scolded according to the usual practice, and then saluted clearly: "The last general will meet the general." I don't know what the general is doing when he mobilizes my troops to cross the border? "The order a few months ago was that the Breaker Army blocked the junction of Shannan and Shanbei, and it was not allowed to pass without an order, and it was not allowed to cross the border without an order. That's why he asked.

Li Kejian naturally didn't know about the slander of his subordinates, so he said: "Well, ...... this" and then arched his hand to the north, and then got to the point: "On the order of the Taiwei, we will clear out a group of Maitreya bandits who pretend to be His Royal Highness the King of Longjun." This gang of bandits is dressed as the enemy chieftain Liangyu, well-equipped, extraordinary combat power, and extremely cunning, and can escape from the encirclement of tens of thousands of Zhennan troops, which can explain everything. Therefore, you are extremely vigilant, and once you find it, you will directly eliminate it. ”

The lieutenant didn't believe it at all, he had a brother who was on an errand in the Zhennan Army, and he had already written to tell him that the enemy chief Liangyu had escaped from the tunnel for an unknown amount of time. How could such a mouse-like character swagger and run here with 2,000 people?
