Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 158

Chapter 163

Wei State needs time, no matter who Di Qin wins or loses, in the end, there is no way for them to break out a large-scale war with Wei State in a short period of time.

In this way, Wei State can fully respond to the three-way Northern Expedition army from Jin State.

Ran Ming left Chang'an very satisfied, and just as Ran Ming left Chang'an, he came to Xiagui via Liyi.

Xiagui is now within the territory of Weinan City.In the history of Weinan, it was officially named in the second year of Ganlu in Fujian of the former Qin Dynasty (1960). At this time, Weinan did not set up a city, and there were three towns in Liyi, Xiagui, and Heshang in Weinan.

Xiayu has been a county since the Warring States Period. The county seat is located on the main road of Guanzhong. It has been an important military town in Weibei since ancient times.

Dressed up as refugees, Ran Ming and his party pretended to be panicked and fled to the woods next to the official road when they encountered the Qin army in Guanzhong. There were no accidents along the way.

But when he came to Xiabei, an accident happened suddenly.

Suddenly, smoke billowed from a village about three or four miles ahead, and accompanied by the fire, it shot up into the sky. There were heart-rending cries and the sound of chickens and dogs jumping inside. In the chaos, there were children crying, There were women's screams, and animals' howling.

"Go and see what's going on!" Ran Ming knew in his heart that this was a tragic massacre.

Jing Zhan said: "We passed by this village when we came here. There are about 300 or [-] families in it, [-] to [-] people. I don't know how the people in this village are doing! I'll go and have a look first!"

Jing Zhan paid attention to this village because a pair of deaf-mute brothers and sisters in their teens were found in this village. Out of compassion, he took good care of the two mute orphans and gave them a lot of money and food.

Through communication, Jing Zhan found that the dumb child was quite smart, so he came up with the idea of ​​accepting them into the King Chu Guards.

Because at this time, it is more difficult for disabled people to live than normal people. Apart from Ran Ming, I am afraid that there is no master who will not discriminate against disabled people in the whole world.

Jing Zhan led a dozen Qilin guards and sneaked towards the village quickly.

The Qilin Guards are well-trained and powerful in combat.

They ran continuously, while forming a battle formation.

After a short time, they came to this village.

Jing Zhan saw people flickering in the village. There were at least a hundred warriors in various clothes. They were moving out corpses from various houses. These corpses included men and women, old people and children. Among them was a pregnant woman whose abdomen had been ripped open. .Blood was like water, filling the depressions on the side.

Some samurai are carrying corpses!Others carried firewood and put it on the corpse for burning.

These warriors are all Caucasians with high noses, deep eyes, long beards and blue eyes.

One of the Qilin guards said: "Commander Jing, I know the people here, they are Jie people."

"Ji people?" Jing Zhan's face changed slightly: "Later Zhao Yuxie?"

Qilin Wei nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Jing Zhanfei was about to explode.

Suddenly, there were bursts of crying from a nearby yard.

Jing Zhan jumped quickly, and after a few jumps, he came to the small courtyard where the screams were coming from.

Jing Zhan jumped onto the courtyard wall, and this scene made Jing Zhan show his murderous aura.A Han woman was stripped naked and her hands were nailed to the door with short spears, while a dozen or so Jie people kept their clothes on to vent their primitive animal desires.

Jing Zhan was furious, he was about to go up and kill the dozen or so Jie people, but then he thought, his main duty was to protect the king of Chu to leave safely.

Jing Zhan said: "Catch someone alive and ask about the situation!"

A Qilin led the army out, and after a while, a Jie man was brought back.

This Capricorn is young, and his eyes are full of fear.

Jing Zhan said: "I'll ask, you'll answer. Say one more word, and I'll make it impossible for you to live or die!"

"Heroic man, spare your life! Good man, spare your life!" the Jie warrior said in vague Chinese.

Jing Zhan also said in a vague tone: "Who are you and how many are there?"

Jie Ren said: "We are Qiao Jing's subordinates, and we came here just to grab some money and food for the winter! I heard that the Qin army has gone to Tongguan to reject the Wei army, so the defense here should be empty. So this time we came here with a total of 400 people!"

"Okay, you can die in peace!" Jing Zhan raised the horizontal knife in his hand as he said.

The Capricorn man struggled and said, "You...you...you didn't keep your word!"

"Trust? I will keep my word when dealing with people. You are all animals!" Having said this, Jing Zhan put away the horizontal knife.He felt that it was too cheap for him to kill this savage who was not as good as a beast so easily.

Jing Zhan took out the dagger again, saw the dagger flashed coldly, cut off the Jie man's tongue, and then picked off his tendons and hamstrings...

Jing Zhan rushed to Qilin Wei and said, "With our strength, we can easily eat them, tell the brothers, come over and kill all these Jie people!"

Ran Ming's safety is more important than the lives of all Qilin Guards.In Jing Zhan's mind, the Qilin Guard was divided into two, more than 200 people were responsible for protecting Ran Ming from leaving, and the other part of the people surrounded and killed this group of animals that were not as good as animals.

However, when Ran Ming received Jing Zhan's letter, he immediately rejected the idea of ​​leaving first, and he immediately brought more than 100 other Qilin guards to the village entrance to join Jing Zhan.

Ran Ming looked at the Qilin guards and said, "We are now in the hinterland of the Qin State. If there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. So we must fight this battle skillfully!"

Ran Ming thought about it for a while, with a very serious expression on his face, he pointed to the corpse of a corpse on the ground and said: "At this time, we are in the dark, and the enemy is in the open. As long as we plan properly, we can kill the dead man at the lowest price." Get the biggest win!"

"However..." Ran Ming continued: "Now we must determine whether there are any survivors in the village, and try our best to rescue the surviving people in the village. In this way, Gu leads people at the entrance of the village to deliberately attract the attention of the Jie people, You take the opportunity to rush into the village to save people. If you can save one, it counts as one, but remember, don’t take any prisoners this time, remember to cut down all these bastards!”

Jing Zhan started to make battle deployments. He pointed to the ancestral hall in the village. Normally, Jing Zhan would not speak words about Qilin Guard's battle deployments, but gestured.

He gestured, meaning: "The ancestral hall is the highest point of the village. The first team will dive to the roof of the ancestral hall later. The horse crossbow in our hands has a range of 220 steps, which can basically ensure that there is no dead angle in the village. The enemy As long as the head is exposed, shoot with a crossbow to attract the enemy's siege. The second and third teams attack the enemy from the east of the village, the fifth team attacks from the north to the south of the village, and the sixth team attacks from the west to the east. The fourth team followed His Royal Highness Chu To attract the attention of the enemy, the seventh and eighth teams ambushed at the entrance of the village!"

After the battle deployment was completed, Ran Ming took the lead in attacking.

Fifteen members of the fourth team and sixteen people from Ran Ming started to rush towards the village.Ran Ming had just rushed into the village when he was startled suddenly. Dozens of cavalrymen were coming towards him. All of them were tall Xianbei horses, fat and strong, with hooves as big as bowls.

As soon as Ran Ming didn't have time to react, he picked up the horizontal knife and shouted: "Brothers take the horse!"

Ran Ming took the lead, and charged at a Jie cavalryman first, and shot the horse first, and of course it wasn't the Jie people that Ran Ming slashed with the horizontal knife, but the big horse he stepped on.

"Puchi" the sound of the knife piercing into the flesh sounded, the horse fell to the ground with a plop, and the cavalry on the horse was thrown dizzy and dazed before he could react.

Taking advantage of his illness and killing him, Ran Ming didn't wait for him to get up, and swung the horizontal knife again, the sharp blade cut off that big head effortlessly!
At this time, the members of Qilin Guard's fourth team also attacked. They didn't cut off horse legs like Ran Ming did, but cut people.

These qilin guards became bloodthirsty and crazy at this moment, killing their lives with knives and knives. In just a moment, more than [-] cavalrymen were buried under their horses. It's not about running away, but about keeping a distance and gaining the momentum to charge.

Ran Ming saw it, and immediately said: "Get on the horse, let's go!"

As he said that, Ran Ming snatched an ownerless war horse, turned over and jumped up.Hit the horse's buttocks with a horizontal knife, and the horse ran out of the village quickly in pain.

The movement at the entrance of the village attracted the attention of the Jie people in the village. They found that there were only a dozen people in Ran Ming, and they killed two or thirty of them. attack!
A man who looked like a leader of the Jie people screamed a few times, pointed at Ran Ming and the others with his saber, and immediately hundreds of Jie people cavalry began to swarm.

Ran Ming was galloping. When he looked back, the Jie cavalry began to accelerate. He knew that his crossbow had a longer range than the Jie people's bows and arrows. There was no reason why he could not use his strength to hit the enemy's short. Ran Ming suddenly shot back while galloping. , The sound of the crossbow trigger sounded, and a crossbow arrow flew towards the Jieren cavalry. A Jieren cavalry was caught off guard and was knocked down by an arrow.

Unknowingly, Ran Ming used the manguzai tactic invented by the Mongols.The core of this tactic is to pretend to flee and lure the enemy to pursue, and its essence is speed and suddenness.Maybe Ran Ming and others' riding skills are not as good as the Jie people who were born on horseback, but they have an advantage that the Mongols do not have, that is, the crossbow. The crossbow is more powerful than the bow and arrow, and the range is also far. The horse crossbow that is wound on the principle of leverage is even less labor-intensive than bows and arrows.

Fifteen members of the fourth team of Qilin Guard painted ladles with gourds, imitating Ran Ming's appearance, and turned around neatly to shoot back. After a while, they ran a hundred steps away, while four or fifty of the chasing Jie people fell down.

The leader of the Jie people was so angry that he screamed again and again, looking like he wanted to eat Ran Ming.

However, when the Jieren cavalry had just rushed out of the village entrance, thirty Qilin guards from the seventh and eighth squadrons who had ambushed in advance at the village entrance suddenly launched an attack. With one arrow and only two rounds, more than 60 Jie cavalrymen who were not even equipped with leather armor were shot and killed.
