Chapter 544 [Entering the Village]
The general entered the village with more than a dozen personal soldiers, including Qi Kang, and the other Qi generals who were still outside the village all widened their eyes, although the problem of light, even if they stared out their eyes, they couldn't see too far away, but they still tried to adapt their eyes to the current light conditions, and then tried to see farther away, wanting to see what would happen to the dozen or so people after they entered.
However, everyone was soon disappointed, there was nothing, there was no movement at all, although it didn't take long after the dozen or so people went in, and the people outside the village couldn't see their actions clearly, but presumably they should be able to find a random family to go in and have a look, not to mention finding the enemy, at least they can find some traces of people living in it recently, of course, if there is an enemy, it would be better, how a dozen people think about it will not be solved like this, as long as someone can shout, At least the people outside will feel much more at ease.
However, there was nothing, there was really nothing, when the figure of the dozen or so people inside disappeared into the darkness, there was really nothing, no sound came out, and no one came back to report, at first, everyone didn't care, thinking that the dozen or so people inside didn't find anything, so they searched from house to house, but soon, half an hour passed, and the people inside still didn't have any movement, neither came out, nor made any sound.
At this time, the people outside felt that something was wrong, how could they go in for so long without reacting, you know, the general who went in to explore the way did not enter at all with his own will, it was completely Qi Kang's overlord who made a bow, according to general common sense, that general should not be too dedicated, but only perfunctory, just go in and take a look. If you don't find anything abnormal, you will definitely come back and report it as soon as possible, and it is absolutely impossible to search so diligently.
Then there is only one explanation now, it's not that the general and the dozen or so pro-soldiers are unwilling to come out and report to Qi Kang, but they can't do it at all! Although I don't know what happened, and I don't know if the dozen or so people are dead or alive now, it is certain that they will not be able to act completely on their own volition, so far. Qi Kang's intuition has become a reality, there is definitely something wrong with this village, and judging from the information we have now, it is very likely that Qi Lin's father and son are in this village!
Thinking of this, the generals all breathed a sigh of relief, although the life and death of the dozen or so people who went in are now unknown, but fortunately, the existence of the enemy has been determined, since this is the case, there is nothing to be afraid of. They hesitated before, on the one hand, because they were afraid of what kind of ambush Qi Lin father and son would set up, but to a greater extent, they were afraid that if there was no one inside. Wouldn't Qi Kang want to lose face in front of them, and Qi Kang's face is not just lost.
If it were someone else, these guys would love to see a good show, and maybe if they were lucky, they would be able to use it as a bargain or something. But in the face of Qi Kang, they don't have such thoughts, in case Qi Kang loses face in front of them. They don't want to blackmail Qi Kang, they don't even want to take a look, Qi Kang is the young master of the Qi family, he has status and connections, coupled with his retributive temperament, it is estimated that none of these generals who look at Qi Kang's disgrace will be left behind, and there will definitely be no good end.
Now it's okay, the general relieved everyone with his sacrifice, since there are enemies inside, it's easy to do, anyway, there are so many enemies, even if there are any heavenly soldiers and generals, even if Qi Lin and his son are strong in combat, even if there is a grandmaster-level master in the rumors, in the face of so many soldiers here, it will not set off any storms, and when the time comes, as long as you rely on the advantage of numbers, you can call it a day, and then say goodbye to Qi Kang, by the side of this young master, the pressure is really not ordinary.
These generals breathed a sigh of relief, but what they didn't see was that Qi Kang's brows furrowed, surrounding? Night fights? Sneak attack? These advantages seem to be completely gone now, and the high-end combat effectiveness is even far worse, Qi Lin can ignore his old age and frailty, Qi Lie's strength is already very strong, even the strongest among the generals here, it is only a little stronger than Qi Lie, if Qi Meng appears, there is no one who can compare with everyone present, especially the rumored grandmaster-level master.
Qi Kang understands that now his only advantage is only the number of people, and the information he got is that although the men led by Qi Lin and his son are all cavalry, but the total number is only two hundred, in such a village terrain, the advantage of cavalry can not be played, it can be ruled out, and the number of his own side has exceeded six hundred, of course, the number of people fighting is more than his side, but Qi Kang is not optimistic, the number of people is the most useful on the battlefield, but at the same time it is also the most useless factor, if you think that the number of people is large, you feel that you will win, The result will definitely not be what you imagined.
Into the village, or retreat? There is actually only one option for this multiple-choice question, and you can only enter the village! Qi Kang is very aware of the consequences of retreat, it can be said that this opportunity tonight is the best time to be able to capture Qi Lin and his son, if he does not do it tonight, and chooses to retreat, then the consequence is that Qi Lin and his son are likely to take the opportunity to escape from the Pinghua Territory, for the Qi family's troops, no matter where Qi Lin and his son flee, as long as they are out of the Pinghua Territory, they will have been out of their control, and there will be no chance to capture them.
If Qi Kang did not participate in the search for Qi Lin and his son from beginning to end, or even if he came here, he did not contact other generals to organize this night attack, then the escape of Qi Lin and his son naturally had little to do with him, even if the final mission failed, he would not be punished, anyway, there were many people who took this task like him but did not complete it, and finding a scapegoat was a gesture for Qi Kang.
But now that he is standing here, he has gathered the generals around him to perform the same task, and gathered them together to formulate a night attack plan, then he has become the temporary commander, if he fails in this case, then all the responsibilities need to be borne by Qi Kang, although with his identity and status, it is impossible for the Qi family to punish too much, but for a person like him who likes freedom as he wants, even the simplest grounding will be difficult for him to accept.
"Burn the letter!" Since there is no way to retreat, then you can only fight for a wave, this time the trouble is Qi Kang himself, if the curiosity is not so heavy, he can not participate in this mission at all, he is different from other generals involved, he will not be restrained, if he is not interested, Qi Nan can't order him, but he just plunged in, then he can't complain about others, however, the overall advantage is still on his own side, which also makes Qi Kang's heart a little more stable.
With a whoosh, a small fireball was released from the hands of the deputy general beside Qi Kang, and after rising to a height of dozens of meters, it exploded with a bang, forming a ball of flames, which was already considered fire in the military world where weapons and martial arts were highly developed. One of the few ways to apply medicine, although in He Ping's opinion, the Xinhuo in the military world is really rough and simple enough, but it is enough if it is only used to transmit orders within a certain range.
With the release of the letter fire, Qi Kang and the generals behind him took the lead in the charge, and behind them, the rest of the soldiers also began to advance in an orderly manner, at the same time, all the surrounding troops also began to follow the orders that had been conveyed before, after seeing the letter fire rise into the air, began to advance towards the village at a speed that was not fast or slow, and began to compress the activity space in the village, the enemy is mainly cavalry, as long as the battle space can be compressed to a small enough, the cavalry is not afraid.
The village is not big, only the two roads that radiate out from the center of the village are more spacious, the others are alleys that can't even be crossed by horse-drawn carriages, and the courtyards of dozens of families are also the most ordinary farm yards, and the center may be the landlord's house, which is a bit of a scale, but the courtyard is relatively large, and there are more rooms, such a village, hundreds of troops from all sides surround it, and it is not even a quarter of an hour, and the village is already full of soldiers.
