Chapter 26: Infiltration

"We have to hurry, otherwise Qianjing may be captured at any time."

Yang Ying urged Shi Xiao, but after a while, a shouting order suddenly came: "Who is it?" ”

I saw a group of soldiers armed with spears surrounding them, and although they were vigilant, they did not dare to be rude.

Shi Xiao took out a token: "We were ordered to search for enemy spies nearby!" ”

As soon as the soldiers saw the token, they immediately put away their weapons, and Shi Xiao asked, "Is there a situation nearby?" ”

"Report to Captain Cavalry, everything is fine."

"Keep on guard, the enemy has an army sneaking around here, remember to be sure to play a good spirit."

"Yes!"

Several soldiers immediately raised their heads solemnly, as if they were being reprimanded by their leaders, but each of them was very religious.

Yang Ying was strange in his heart: They called Shi Xiao a riding captain, could it be that Shi Xiao was just a riding captain?

The twelfth level of military merit of the Great Qian, the cavalry lieutenant is only the fifth level from low to high, how can Shi Xiao, the head of the four great generals, be such a low level.

That's right, now it's camouflage!

The Black Armor Army is the elite of the Great Cadre Army, and the most ordinary soldier is also a military captain, which is a glory that many ordinary soldiers can only obtain after fighting for a long time, and some soldiers can't even achieve it in a lifetime.

Therefore, the black armor army is very respected, and because they are all black armor, other soldiers usually see them and call them black armor captains, unless they know their accurate military merit level.

With the identity of the Black Armor Army, and the token retained by Shi Xiao as the head of the four great generals of King Qin, Yang Ying and the two quickly approached the King of Qin's tent.

It's already within two hundred steps.

Yang Ying can clearly see the King of Qin's tent, and a "King of Qin" banner is waving in the wind, which is very eye-catching.

In front of the king's tent, there was a striking building car, on which two people were standing, and behind it were several soldiers.

Although they were far apart, Yang Ying could still see at a glance that the two leaders were Li Chengba and Wei Liuhou: at this time, there was a big battle, and Li Chengba, as the commander of the army, was standing in the most conspicuous place and trying to let the soldiers see it.

When the boss is there, the backbone is there, and the morale is there.

But Li Chengba obviously took safety into account: Louche and Qianjing. The city walls were at least three hundred paces apart, and at such a distance, even if Qianjing had a heavy mechanical crossbow like a bed crossbow, it would be difficult to shoot.

And the soldiers on the left and right and behind him were indeed on alert to two hundred paces away, as Shi Xiao said.

Therefore, Shi Xiao said that it was impossible to assassinate Li Chengba by archery, and he really didn't have the ambition of others at all.

If this is the case, even if you walk within one hundred and fifty steps, you will not be able to release the arrow at all: after all, once you make an arrow action towards the King of Qin, you will be discovered by others.

"It's too late to give up the assassination."

Yang Ying said: "Look at their siege momentum. ”

Indeed, the morale of the army of the King of Qin was extremely high, and it was possible to capture Qianjing at any time.

Shi Xiao no longer persuaded him, and the two continued to quietly approach Li Chengba.

Suddenly, Shi Xiao's pace slowed down, and Yang Ying was vigilant, but he saw a person in front of him who looked like a lieutenant.

The lieutenant was leading a group of soldiers, looking at the front with solemn eyes, obviously ready to take part in the siege, but the city was too narrow for them to perform, so they waited.

"Two Black-Armored Captains!"

The lieutenant just shouted Yang Ying and Shi Xiao.

"What's the matter with you?"

Shi Xiao's tone was "steady".

The lieutenant asked, "Do you know how General Shi Baoqing is doing now?" ”

Yang Ying's heartbeat accelerated rapidly: There is also a helmet to cover his face, otherwise it will be over.

Shi Xiao said: "General Shi thinks he is leading the army in front at this time, how can you ask such a question." ”

"Really?"

The captain's face was full of joy: "Last night I heard that General Shi led the Black Armor Army into battle, I heard from others that the Black Armor Army who came back was very embarrassed, it looked like a lost battle, and I didn't see General Shi come back, I thought General Shi was ......"

The "death field" or "injury" in the back did not say, but changed the tone: "I said, how is this possible, how can General Shi defeat the battle, how can the Black Armor Army defeat the battle, I know that others are talking nonsense."

I also saw that the two captains were a little dirty just now, they must have just come down from the battlefield, presumably they went to the battlefield with General Shi yesterday, so I asked. ”

The lieutenant took a kettle from his waist as he spoke, and gave it to the two of them: "The two lieutenants work hard, let's drink saliva first!" ”

Shi Xiao didn't stretch out his hand, if he took the kettle at this time, he would have to take off the armor on his head to drink water, and he would naturally be recognized.

"Thank you."

Yang Ying reached out and took the kettle, half-took off her helmet, and took a sip of water.

"Ouch, I'm so thirsty, I'm drinking it all at once."

As he spoke, he returned the water to the lieutenant, who took the kettle and said with a smile, "It's okay." ”

But he asked another soldier to bring a kettle and handed it to Shi Xiao.

"No, I just drank it." Shi Xiao was in a hurry to get out: "We have to go back and report to the general, so let's not bother for now." ”

Shi Xiao and Yang Ying ignored the captain and left first.

"This captain, your body shape is really similar to General Shi!"

The lieutenant quipped, and Shi Xiao and Yang Ying left quickly.

"It's strange, it's a big war now, why are they moving around!"

Without asking himself, the lieutenant immediately felt that something was wrong: no one would move around during a fierce battle between the two armies, especially the strictly disciplined Black Armor Army.

"General Shi once told me that when the two armies are at war, life and death are at stake, and once you encounter someone who is suspected of being a spy, you should rather be in vain."

The lieutenant immediately beckoned to his soldiers: "You come with me." ”

The captain chased after him for a while, and shouted to Yang Ying and Shi Xiao: "You guys stop." ”

"He's found us!"

Yang Ying said: "Fight! ”

"Don't move yet."

The lieutenant rushed up: "Two black captains, why are you moving up and down?" ”

Yang Ying was thinking of an excuse, but Shi Xiao was already saying: "Wang Chong! ”

This lieutenant Wang Chong's face was full of astonishment: "General Shi? ”

Shi Xiao took off his mask, showed his face, and soon put it back on.

"General Shi, how could you?"

Wang Chong's vigilance was completely absent.

"This is Wang Kuo, the commander of the right guard of the Praetorian Guard, he lurked in the city on the order of the King of Qin, and I took him to the king's tent on the order of the King of Qin."

"I see! It's all my fault for being too careful. ”

"Wang Chong, you go with me to the King of Qin's tent."

"General?" Wang Chong's face was full of doubts.

"You've been trained for a long time, it's time to promote you again, I'll recommend you to King Qin later, and King Qin should reuse you."

"Thank you, General."

Wang Chong ordered the other soldiers to stick to their posts, and happily followed Shi Xiao and Yang Ying.

Wang Chong was originally a subordinate of Shi Xiao, and as a captain at this time, he was also a familiar face in the army, with him leading the way, although the soldiers around him had doubts, they never came to question and intercept the three of them.
