284 Impossible! When pigs fly!
"It's really General Yingxiao!" The Qin soldiers were in a mess.
In the troubled times where wars are frequent, even the small people who come to the battle for the first time know a thing or two about the war-
After the army, the commander of the army was Yingxiao, who counted the military supplies and escorted the baggage.
This son-in-law general from the royal family has a noble status, but he is not the kind of pampered son-in-law...... After the confrontation in the past two months, General Ying Xiao personally escorted the baggage, and together with the people, he trekked the long baggage line, and delivered a stone of grain to Danyu Daying......
In the minds of all Qin soldiers, this Yingxiao general has a noble bloodline, but he is willing to work hard......
General Yingxiao, with a very high prestige!
It stands to reason that a considerable amount of time has passed since the last delivery of the baggage, and the food in the camp should have been almost eaten...... Count the days, it's time for General Yingxiao to escort new grain and grass over!
But at this time, Ying Xiao came to the camp alone covered in blood and frightened!
What does this mean?
Scald!
Don't dare to think! I don't dare to think about it at all!
The captains of the Qin army keenly noticed the commotion, and immediately grabbed the hilt of the sword at their waists and scolded loudly: "What are you talking about? ”
"Every man returns to his tent! Don't come out without an order! ”
"Those who talk about military intelligence and spread rumors...... You know the consequences! ”
……
Although the captains' tone was very hard, their wandering eyes and trembling hands had already exposed the worry and panic in their hearts at the moment.
The soldiers silently exchanged glances, lowered their heads and returned to the camp.
Oh, my God!
How did the people of Chu do it?
There is not enough firewood for heating...... It's already painful. Every night, there are Qin soldiers who are infected with the wind chill and chills all over their bodies...... The only medical treatment available was more firewood, and very few of the sick and wounded were cured.
If this is another lack of food......
Don't dare to think! I don't dare to think about it at all!
……
Bai Qi in the handsome tent was giving a lecture to the generals, but he saw a personal soldier hurriedly come in and say a few words in Bai Qi's ear...... Bai Qi suddenly got up, and there was a storm in his heart!
"Come in, please!" Bai Qi's pupils constricted, his face was ugly, and his voice was a little out of shape due to shock.
All the Qin generals had solemn faces...... Although it is not known what happened...... But to make Shao Shangzao, who has always been unsmiling, so moved, there must have been a big change!
The generals will hold their breath...... Seeing that Ying Xiao, who was covered in snow and mixed with blood, crashed in.
They are all battlefield veterans...... Before Ying Xiao could speak, everyone's faces changed!
Ying Xiao's voice choked: "Less...... If you don't make it, you will be incompetent in the end! ”
"Grain and grass are heavy...... It was robbed by Chu Man and burned to the ground! ”
What!?
Although the generals of the Qin army were already prepared, after Ying Xiao's words came out, they still stood up in shock.
"Impossible! When pigs fly! ”
"The main force of the Chu army is thirty miles away from here! They couldn't have traveled so far through the snow and ice so secretly! ”
"Our scouts, why didn't you find out?"
It's not a difficult question to answer...... The Qin scouts suffered so many casualties that the scouts did not dare to go far at all, but only dared to patrol the sloppy areas around the Danyu camp.
Ying Xiao was full of sadness, and cried loudly: "Shao Shangzao, the Chu army appeared suddenly, and jumped out of the snow almost without warning!" ”
"As for the number of enemy troops...... The night was dark and I couldn't see clearly, but at least there were thousands of them! ”
"I walked all day in a convoy, tired and hungry, and most of them were people...... After the attack, there was little resistance. The Chu army only released a few rounds of arrows, and then took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and our convoy was completely killed and wounded......"
Bai Qi's eyes widened, his fists clenched tightly in shock, and his finger joints turned slightly white.
Thousands of Chu troops, sneaking all the way for dozens of miles, quietly bypassing the Qin army Danyu camp, ambushing the baggage convoy?
Impossible!
Bai Qi is not the kind of boy from a good background...... He was born in the army, but by virtue of his real military exploits, he steadily rose all the way to the title of young man.
It's freezing outside, and it's clear that it's white!
As long as you are a normal person, it is impossible to lie in the snow for more than two hours! You must know that there are no cotton clothes in the world of the Warring States, and you want to rely on thin linen clothes to resist the cold? That's!
Not to mention this mysterious Chu army, it actually came from afar!
Outrageous!
After explaining the situation of Ying Xiao's attack as it was, he gritted his teeth fiercely: "The last general is incompetent, and he has ruined the plan of the young master, so that the battle situation is unfavorable...... Daqin's new law, the unprovoked defeat of the army is beheaded! ”
"The last general lost the first battle, but he did not want to be punished by the axe...... was supposed to be in the battle formation, but he was still thinking about coming back to report the military situation. This is over, thank the countrymen! ”
With that, Ying Xiao pulled out the sword at his waist and resolutely wiped it towards his neck.
The generals of the Qin army were shocked, and rushed forward, hugged Ying Xiao tightly, and snatched the sword in his hand.
Ying Xiao was very resolute, although he didn't succeed in killing himself, but he had already made a cut in his neck by the sword...... Let the generals of the Qin army be afraid.
Ying Xiao cried loudly.
Disgrace! Shame on you!
Since the Qin State changed the law, as long as it fights with the Chu State, it is easy to press the head of the Chu State and beat it.
For decades, he was also the first general of the Qin State to suffer a crushing defeat in the face of the weak opponent of the Chu State.
If you lose to Wei Han and other countries, it's fine.
Actually lost to Chu Man!
You must know that the army of Chu has always been far inferior to the Qin army!
Aggrieved! Suffering!
Bai Qi coughed lightly, and said in a good voice: "Why is General Yingxiao like this-the Chu people are despicable and sneak attacked, and they are waiting for work." Even if Ben Shuai personally escorted the grain and grass, I am afraid that he would be defeated. ”
"As the commander of the rear army, I think all the generals will see the hard work of the winter."
"Although this battle is lost, it is not a crime of war! Ben Shuai will write to the Queen Mother and the King of Qin to exonerate the general. As for General Yingxiao...... In the future, if you kill more Chu people, you don't have to be ashamed of this defeat. Bai Qi said.
All the generals nodded one after another, and also comforted Ying Xiao together: "If the general can be ashamed and brave, and cut off the head of Miliang Xiaoer, he can be regarded as a real man." ”
Ying Xiao burst into tears, thanked Bai Qi and the generals, and retreated silently.
Bai Qi pondered for a long time, but still felt unbelievable.
He was deeply shocked by the ambush, and the point was that Bai Qi couldn't think of how the Chu army did it...... If it weren't for the fact that General Ying Xiao was really trustworthy, he even doubted that Ying Xiao was lying.
Bai Qi took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass my order!" ”
"Mobilize 5,000 cavalry and go out of the camp with this commander!"
"General Yingxiao, please come with me."
If you don't go to the col where the baggage convoy was ambushed to see it with your own eyes, Bai Qi really can't believe Yingxiao's words!
