Chapter 42: Continuous Combat

Hearing Qin Zhen's question, the old man said: "The night before yesterday, a military master from Weizhou City passed by our village and told us that the party members were calling, and it was estimated that it was too late to go to Weizhou City, so let's hide the grain and find a hidden place to hide, so we went to the back mountain of the village to hide. But we didn't expect that we were hiding, but we forgot that there was a dog in the village, and they also found the dog, so they wanted to kill the dog, but the dog ran to the back mountain, and they chased the dog and found us, took us back to the village, forced us to find food, rested in the village last night, and took us to the west in the early hours of this morning. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Qin Zhen could probably think that Guo Wei, the governor of Weizhou Zhichong Mansion, not only moved the people near Weizhou City into Weizhou City, but also sent people to notify these villages and towns far away from Weizhou, so that the people could hide first, at least he did the best he could, so that this loss was greatly reduced, and Qin Zhen respected this Guo Duwei more and more who had never met.

Qin Zhen asked Meng Xuan and Xue Yuan to take aside the two party captives who had been knocked out, wanting to learn about the movements of the party army from their mouths, Xue Yuan looked at the prisoner in his hand, and was thinking about how to wake up the captive, Chen Luosheng directly pulled out a horizontal knife and stabbed it into the prisoner's thigh, the prisoner was woken up by the pain, simple and clear.

Qin Zhen didn't feel any discomfort because of Chen Luosheng's violence, he knew very well that any sympathy for the enemy now was stupid, the enemy had come to your house to kill people and set fire, if you still had that kind of cheap sympathy, it would not be just stupid.

Qin Zhen looked at the sweaty captive who was in pain, and his face was expressionless: "Tell me your actions after arriving in Weizhou City, I will give you a good time, so that you will suffer less, if not, the methods that your party members used to give us Han people, I will also, I don't mind trying it on you, and also, don't think about making up nonsense to deceive me, you see there is another one over there, if you don't say it consistently, you know what it feels like to be tortured." ”

The captive looked at Qin Zhen, his eyes were a little dodgy, as if he wanted to struggle, Chen Luosheng didn't say a word, and stabbed him in the other leg.

"I said, I said, I just ask you to give me a good time!" The captive looked at Chen Luosheng, who did not say a word, and suddenly the defense line in his heart collapsed.

"After we arrived in Weizhou, the gates of Weizhou have all been closed, and the surrounding people have all hid in the city, the elder Qianfu is very angry, he personally looked at Weizhou City, and ordered us to go around to loot your Han people and food, everything that can not be taken away will be smashed and burned, but people have to be taken outside Weizhou City, he will reward and punish according to the Han people we found and the amount of food we robbed, our centurion in order to find more Han people and food, so we all divided us into a team of about ten people, and searched separately. Our team found two of these people, and originally wanted to take them to the west to look for them, but they didn't expect to run into you, and you all know the rest. ”

"Why is it that you're the only one around here, and what about the others? Also, how long does Tuoba Ambition give you? ”

"Others are estimated to be farther away, we have encountered many villages and towns along the way, but they are all empty, so everyone has accelerated and wanted to go farther away to find them, if we hadn't met this group of Han people last night, we wouldn't have walked so slowly, let you find out; When we came out this time, the Senfu gave us three days. ”

"Last question, according to what I know about you, you only brought those sturdy villagers when you looted in the past, and the old and weak women and children would be killed by you on the spot in most cases, but how could you take a lot of them to Weizhou this time?"

"I heard from the centurion that this time the centurion is very angry, and wants us to bring all these people back, he wants to kill them one by one in front of those soldiers at the head of Weizhou City, and also talk about these people with their heads built into towers, so that those soldiers at the head of Weizhou City know that one Weizhou City cannot protect all the people of Weizhou, and this is their punishment for angering the people of Weizhou." The captive looked at the captive in Meng and said with a little weakness.

Qin Zhen was angry when he heard this, resisted the urge to stab the captive one by one, and looked at the captive in Meng Xuan, Meng Xuan didn't give Chen Luosheng a chance, and woke up the captive in his hand with a backhand.

The prisoner was even more straightforward, and when he saw a pool of blood flowing not far from him, he lowered his head and didn't speak, so he understood, and answered Qin Zhen's question very cooperatively, the two of them basically said the same, that is, it was not as detailed as the first captive, but these were enough.

"Who is he?" Qin Zhen asked, pointing to the first captive.

"We are the Captain of Ten."

Qin Zhen nodded and asked for the information he wanted, Xue Yuan and Meng Player made a hard effort, and the two captives ended their lives with a click on their necks.

Qin Zhen, Xue Yuan, Meng Xuan and the others returned to those villagers: "Uncle, there are a lot of party soldiers around here who are arresting the villagers, you can find a hidden place nearby to hide, please help us keep these horses, swords, arrows and armor, and we will find you to get them after this battle." ”

The old man thanked him again and again, saying that he must take good care of these war horses, with the war horses captured from the party, the old people and children who could not walk, and the food and armor, their speed was also much faster, and the villagers led the horses, carried the supplies, and went to the new place to hide.

Qin Zhen gathered Meng Xuan, Wen Han and other backbone cadres together, shared the information obtained from the party captives, and then said: "Since the party army is divided into a team of more than a dozen people in order to rob more people, now they are in the light and we are in the dark, that is our opportunity, we can send scouts, find their traces, and then concentrate our forces to annihilate them and rescue the people who were looted by them." The main thing is that we must annihilate them all at a time, not one of them can be let go, and the later they find us, the better it will be for us. ”

Meng Xuan nodded and said: "In the past three days, everyone has to keep running, in order to let everyone try to rest and maintain physical strength, I suggest that twenty people be drawn out to become scouts, form two scout teams, take turns to reconnoiter and rest, and the remaining thirty people are mobile groups, rest when scouting and scouting, once the enemy situation is detected, they will cooperate with the scouts to encircle and annihilate the enemy, and more than 40 people will encircle and annihilate the team of more than a dozen party members, which is completely okay." ”

When Qin Zhen heard Meng Xuan's arrangement, he had already made the most of these fifty or so people, and he couldn't think of a better way, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do what Meng Xuan said, and you can arrange the scout selection and grouping." ”

Originally, there were more than a dozen scouts in the team, including Xue Yuan, Yang Xiaoqi, and Chen Luosheng, Wen Han and Xue Yuan selected ten alert and capable soldiers in the team as the scout team, Wen Han and Xue Yuan were each responsible for a scout team, and this time Meng Xuan, Ma Xuan, Wang Tiezhu, Zhao Feihu and others also joined the scout team; The rest were directly organized into a mobile group, led by Qin Zhen and Han Cheng.

Originally, Qin Zhen also wanted to join the scout team, but was ruthlessly rejected by Wen Han and Xue Yuan; Wen Han's reason is that Qin Zhen is now the backbone of the whole team, and there is no room for mistakes, and before they die, Qin Zhen should not want to enter the scout team; Xue Yuan's reason is even more straightforward, just your three-legged cat's kung fu, don't make trouble for the scout team, it's better to stay in the mobile group and use your brains.

Hearing Xue Yuan's evaluation, Qin Zhen felt that he was very hurt, although his kung fu was much worse than Xue Yuan and Meng Xuan, but it was not useless as Xue Yuan said, at least Qin Zhen knew that there were many people in the scout team whose kung fu was not as good as his own, although he was depressed, but was rejected by Wen Han and Xue Yuan, Qin Zhen could only dispel the idea of being a scout.

After the integration of the team was completed, and the general description of the surrounding terrain and villages and towns by the former Weizhou soldiers such as Wen Han and Han Cheng was synthesized, Qin Zhen decided that the team would advance to the southwest for another twenty miles, find a temporary station, and let the scouts start to explore the traces of the Dang Xiang army, this distance was almost the limit of the looting of the Dang Xiang army, and if they were far away, they would not be able to return to Weizhou City with the people in the rest of the time.

Sure enough, in less than the evening, they found three waves of party squads and annihilated them all, rescued a lot of people, and also captured a lot of weapons and armor and war horses, during this period, many rescued people wanted to follow them to kill the enemy, but Qin Zhen politely refused, and told them that they really wanted to kill the enemy, and when this wave of disasters passed, they could go to Weizhou City to participate in the selection of recruits from Weizhou Zhichong Mansion.

They are now highly mobile warfare, these villagers have not undergone any military training, most of them cannot even ride horses, and following them will not only not help much, but will also affect their combat efficiency.

The three battles also caused seven casualties on Qin Zhen's side, and there were more minor injuries, and the continuous battles made them more and more tired, especially the third battle, which made them lose four people at once, although Qin Zhen arranged for them to rest and conserve their physical strength as soon as they had time, but the battle itself was an extremely physically demanding thing, and not only ran almost two hundred miles in one day, but also carried out four battles, even if people could bear it, horses couldn't stand it.

Qin Zhen also felt extremely tired, looking at the mentally exhausted soldiers beside him, if he attacked the enemy in this state, it was very likely that he would be eliminated, so he ordered everyone to rest in place, although everyone was exhausted, but there should be no less guard posts.
