Chapter 40: News

With a shrill roar from the officers, the three commanders in front of them shot arrows from the string at the same moment! A dense rain of arrows shot towards everyone like locusts!

Only a wave of arrow rain, Qingyun City soldiers and bandits lost nearly 100 people, Qingyun City soldiers are poorly equipped, no armor abounds, armor is only available to senior generals, and soldiers with leather armor are rare!

On the other hand, the three hundred scouts, all of them are wearing armor, and their protective power is enough to be higher than that of the soldiers and bandits of Qingyun City!

"The first three rows stop and prepare, and the last three rows come forward!"

The soldiers in the first three rows moved one step to the left and flowed out of the space, and the people in the last three rows stepped forward steadily, and then drew their bows and arrows......

The three hundred people are like an integrated machine, and there is not a trace of chaos in the front, back, left and right!

"Eighty paces ahead!" Then another rain of arrows came out!

The Qingyun bandits had originally lost their commander, and their morale was already very low, and now they were barely able to resist hastily under the organization of a few officers.

However, in the face of this cold army that seemed to be a whole, the rekindled will to fight was like fire meeting ice, quickly extinguished, even if it was barely shot out of more than a hundred arrows, it could not threaten the Ye army soldiers at all, and the arrows fell in mid-air before they reached their destination!

"The first three rows stop and prepare, and the last three rows come forward!" the slaughter continued......

"nnd! fight with them!" Most of the Qingyun soldiers and bandits were some outlaws, and when they saw that there was no hope of escape, they began to prepare to fight and pull a few cushions.

At this moment, the only more than 100 cavalry of the bandits were also divided into two wings, roaring towards both sides of the scout formation!

Ye Qing shouted loudly: "The first two rows abandon the bow and spear! The first team protects the left flank! The second team protects the right flank! The other four teams shoot freely!"

In the blink of an eye, more than 100 cavalry rushed to both flanks, but they were blocked by the rain of arrows, and a small half of them were lost! The remaining sixty or seventy cavalry were also extremely brave, even in the face of hundreds of cold spears in front of them!

On the left flank, more than a dozen of the most fierce soldiers and bandits were the first to rush in! The leading officer was already in full array! His voice did not carry a trace of emotion, as if he was not facing an enemy, but a target!

"Shoot!Kill!" With a loud roar from the team officer, dozens of spears stabbed out like poisonous snakes, as fast as lightning!

A series of muffled sounds of spears piercing into the flesh were heard, and more than a dozen cavalrymen were stabbed off their horses in an instant! Dozens of spears, at least half of them were stabbed to the vital point! Their eyes couldn't be wider, and their eyes were full of disbelief and horror!

And even if they are lucky enough to escape the vital point, what awaits them after falling off the horse can only be trampled to death by the horse's hooves!

"Shoot!" "Shoot the arrows!" "Kill!" the scouts shouted, and every time they remembered to shout, someone would be stabbed off their horses!

Such a fierce attack and defense actually lasted only a few breaths, and the scouts only suffered seven casualties, while the Qingyun soldiers and bandits had already killed more than five hundred!

At this moment, the cavalry team that followed Ye Qing finally came to the battlefield, and Luo Bin saw that his lord had received an attack, so he immediately commanded the cavalry to enter the battle.

With the addition of this new force, the morale that the officers of Qingyun City had finally aroused collapsed in an instant, and they were defeated and dispersed!

Luo Bin led the cavalry to chase and kill for ten miles, beheading more than 2,000 levels, and only dozens of soldiers and bandits fled into the dense forest and survived.

Ye Qing did not pursue the enemy with the cavalry, but stopped beside the looted homeless, who were rescued by Ye Qing's leading soldiers, and they all stepped forward to deliver water and food, thanking them for their kindness.

"Thank you, if it weren't for you, we people would be ......."

"Which lord's army are you?"

"May I ask who your lord is? We poor people have nothing to repay, but we are willing to set up an immortal tablet for your lordship, and never forget to bow down every day. ”

Now that he has decided to do something for the Honghuang Terrans, Ye Qing plans to start with the displaced people first, anyway, now that he has a large amount of food in his hands, it is not a problem to supply hundreds of thousands of people.

Finding a few famous old men among the homeless, Ye Qing finally learned the origin of these homeless.

As far as these outcasts say, they are all residents of a small territory nearby, and when the barbarians came, they escaped because they found it in time, and finally suffered from the barbarians and retreated, returned home, and were about to rebuild their homes, but they were robbed by the soldiers of Qingyun City and had to flee again.

The soldiers and bandits in Qingyun City are extremely arrogant, never hide their identities, and they do all kinds of evil acts of rape and adultery, and they are even more ferocious than the barbarians, these soldiers and bandits are not good at the other barbarians, but they are very good at oppressing civilians.

It is said that the territory they belong to has been completely occupied by Qingyun City, and the lord has been killed. Qingyun City's army is currently planning to invade other territories.

Speaking of Qingyun City, Ye Qing thought of the two people who claimed to be the sons of the city lord who were imprisoned by him, could they be assigned by the Qingyun City Lord to go to Dongjiang Town to create conflicts, so as to provide a reasonable excuse for invading Dongjiang Town.

Will Qingyun City's next target be Dongjiang Town?

Thinking of this, Ye Qing was also a little anxious, there were only a few hundred veterans in Dongjiang Town now, and the rest were some recruits who had not yet completed their training, if they were suddenly attacked by Qingyun City, it would be tantamount to a catastrophe.

Ye Qing only brought more than 3,000 troops to Dongjiang Town this time, leaving a team of 1,000 people to escort supplies, collect the displaced people, and sent a thousand scouts to find out if Qingyun City had any moves against Dongjiang Town.

Ye Qing himself selected a thousand infantry who could ride horses, plus a thousand cavalry, and two thousand horses hurried to Dongjiang Town.

Under the scout's one-man and two-horse rush day and night, the next night, Ye Qing received the latest information from Dongjiang Town.

The good news is that Dongjiang Town has not been attacked by the Qingyun City army at present, but the Qingyun City Lord has sent someone to ask for his two sons, but due to his bad attitude, he was rejected by the government official on the grounds that the lord is not in the territory and he cannot be the master.

The bad news is that at present, the Qingyun City Lord has decided to send his own city guard commander to lead 10,000 soldiers to attack Dongjiang Town, and he has set off from Qingyun City this morning, and it is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow.

Ye Qing, who received the news, couldn't care about Dongjiang Town, so he rushed to Qingyun City to Dongjiang Town overnight with more than 2,000 soldiers to set up a battlefield, and used this time difference to make some arrangements that were beneficial to Ye Jun, and strive to defeat Qingyun City in a war, so that they would not have the ability to invade Dongjiang Town again in a short period of time, and give Ye Qing enough time to prepare.
