The convoy carrying the baggage stretched and twisted like a long snake.

The entire team has nearly 10,000 people!

Of course, the regular army of Qin soldiers is only a few hundred people...... The vast majority of them were people who were temporarily recruited by the Qin State Government.

This nearly 10,000 people is only the tip of the iceberg - the Qin State is mobilizing the whole country to prepare for the three-kingdom alliance of Chu, Wei and Han that is likely to break out after the beginning of spring. It is conservatively estimated that at this moment, hundreds of thousands of people in the Qin State are struggling to trek.

This is also the strict law of Qin, and the mobilization ability of the war machine of Qin State is really strong.

If it is placed in the state of Chu, I am afraid it will cause a mutiny!

Last year, there was a civil war, and this year there was a heavy snowstorm...... The government also had to levy grain, levy labor, and prepare for war...... Qin Min is miserable!

However, these are not what a small rear army commander like Ying Xiao needs to consider.

As night fell, the huge convoy of baggage still trudged deep and shallow.

Ying Xiao ordered loudly: "Continue to move forward for another half an hour!" There is a col in front of which you can camp in shelter from the wind. ”

The Qin convoy continued to move forward - the march in the snow was extremely painful, but today it was dark and the vision was not clear, it was even more tormenting.

Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers and people struggled to advance, and by the time they reached the 'mountain pass' in Yingxiao's mouth, they were exhausted.

Ying Xiao ordered again: "Set up camp!" ”

"This place is still a day's journey from Danyu Daying!"

"Leave early tomorrow morning, and get to Danyu before dark!"

As soon as this order was given, the baggage team was full of complaints...... But no one dared to tell. Qin's law is extremely strict, and if it is missed, it is a major crime of beheading.

At this moment, a mountain wind blew.

A long whistle came from above...... In Ying Xiao's heart, three points of confusion emerged......

It's so late, and there are still people in the mountains?

Sincere!

The bowstring sounded loud!

Dense arrows poured down from above the col!

Before Ying Xiao's few Qin soldiers could react, they were shot to death by random arrows!

Astound!

The ambush of the Chu people? No way! How can the Chu people touch here? How do you know when your baggage convoy will arrive at this col?

Ying Xiao showed the calmness unique to a general, he suppressed the shock in his heart, pulled out the sword at his waist suddenly, and let out a long roar: "Attacked...... Kill the mountain! ”

"Qin Fa - above the battle array, those who retreat and surrender die! Family sitting! ”

"Kill me—"

……

The reaction of the Qin people was not unpleasant.

For this long-traveled, exhausted team, they showed an amazing will to fight!

Even those people who were recruited did not flee in all directions as Xiong Wuliang had expected...... Instead, he picked up everything that was easy and desperately went up the hill to try to fight back.

Hong Shishi's heart was shocked, but his face was unwavering: "Continue to release arrows!" ”

5,000 elite soldiers, 5,000 armed repeaters.

A dense rain of arrows poured down - Hong Shi adopted the tactic of releasing arrows in rounds to ensure that the suppression of the arrow rain was continuous.

Although the Qin people were fierce, they had no effect.

There were only a few hundred Qin soldiers with shields in their hands...... The vast majority of the Qin people were people's husbands.

Although the courage of these people is commendable...... But they didn't have a shield in their hands, and they couldn't have been dressed in armor, which was exactly the favorite killing target of the Quyang New Army's standard repeater...... The crossbow of the Chu army was condescending and exerted the greatest lethality!

Flying arrows are like locusts, and corpses are piling up like mountains!

Although it was already dark, the Qin people were still a very conspicuous target on the white snow.

The soldiers of the Quyang New Army fired arrows mercilessly, as easily as shooting targets in the school field.

Wherever the arrows were splashed, there was a rain of blood.

Qin and Chu have been at odds for many years, although there was a brief alliance...... But the hatred of the Chu people for the Qin people has not diminished in the slightest.

Especially Quyang County - when Xiong Wei was alive, Quyang Jun was very popular in Chu State...... It's all the damn Qin State, and the county of Jiao Quyang has been in decline for several years...... If it weren't for the little lord's wisdom and martial efforts, I'm afraid Quyang would have fallen long ago.

Now that he is in battle for revenge, no one will be soft-hearted!

The standard configuration of the officers and men of the Quyang New Army was that each person carried 30 arrows with them - 5,000 elite soldiers, and they carried 150,000 arrows.

Sounds like a lot of ...... However, the crossbows equipped by the Quyang New Army were extremely fast, and in a short time, the arrows had been exhausted.

"General Hong Qian, there are no arrows!"

Hong Shi brazenly drew his sword in his hand, got up and shouted-

"The arrows and stones are exhausted, draw your sword and kill the enemy!"

Five thousand soldiers of the New Army, who had been recuperating for a long time, stood up from the warm snow tents, roared down, stepped on the corpse of the Qin army, and rushed to kill!

……

Ying Xiao relied on the soldiers around him to raise their shields to protect desperately, and luckily survived the rain of arrows, and when he raised his head again, his heart was half cold.

The corpses of the Qin people are everywhere!

The white snow was covered with blood.

At this time, the Chu army swooped down from the mountain...... Ying Xiao gasped!

The leader of the Chu general was very brave, holding a spear in his right hand and a sword in his left hand...... Even though the people of the Qin State were brave, their equipment was too poor to stop the Chu generals.

In the blink of an eye, Na Chu slaughtered closely, and with a swing of his sword, he actually cut off Ying Xiao's battle flag!

Without the guidance of the banner, the Qin people immediately collapsed. Chu pawn was relieved to boldly chase and kill everywhere, and his sword fell.

Ying Xiao roared in despair - the Chu army in front of him was all armored, and it was obviously a first-class elite.

But he just couldn't figure it out!

How did these Chu troops find out where the Qin army's grain road was?

How did you travel dozens of miles to come here to set up an ambush?

How did you know the specific time of the arrival of the baggage?

You can't just wait in the snow all the time, right?

Qin Fa, the defeated army dies...... Although Ying Xiao is the son of the royal family, he may have a chance to pick up a life...... But I also felt that I had no face to go back.

He brandished his sword, and he was about to rush up and fight with Na Chu General!

But he was held by the soldiers around him: "General! Don't be impulsive! ”

"Shao Shang Zao still doesn't know the situation here, the general still needs to go back alive and report to Shao Shang Zao truthfully...... Don't die in battle because of a momentary whim......"

Ying Xiao's eyes were about to split, but he could only grit his teeth: "Withdraw...... Remove! ”

"Disperse and break out!"

……

The dust of the battlefield has settled, and large swaths of dead bodies have piled up in the cols.

Hong Shi laughed heartily - this battle is a good fight!

"General Hong Qian-the corpses of the Qin army are innumerable, and our army has less than thirty casualties! Most of them were minor injuries! "Some soldiers came to report happily.

Hong Shishi was stunned at first, and then smiled even more heartily.

Although there is no specific number of Qin casualties, it is conservatively estimated that there are several thousand corpses in the mountain pass...... The elite soldiers under his command only have dozens of casualties!

What an exaggeration!

But if you think about it, it's reasonable-

First of all, it was not the regular army of the Qin State in front of them, most of them were just unarmed people.

Secondly, the Chu army had been recuperating and waiting for work, while the baggage troops of the Qin State had come from a long journey, endured the cold wind in the snow, and had been running around all day, and they were already exhausted......

Third, the Chu army set up an ambush again, with a deliberate calculation or unintentionality, the first wave of arrows rained down, and the Qin people's baggage team had already suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, the Chu army was very well-equipped - a full set of iron armor and repeating crossbows, and killing these Qin nationals was simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

After a long time, Hong Shishi stopped laughing and ordered in a deep voice-

……
