Competing

Chapter 19
In the middle of the night, Lu Ming came back by moonlight and brought good news about Baishuixia.

The bandits who were hunters set many traps on the way, and the Qin army suffered nearly a hundred casualties as a result.The marching speed is also greatly reduced, because every step forward means that a life may be sacrificed, and anyone will be careful if it is changed, of course, the premise is that the speed is similar to that of a tortoise.

Coupled with the results of Qingshigou, everyone is not to mention how excited they are.The annihilation of about 600 people from the Qin army also shattered the plan of the Qin army to attack separately and encircle and annihilate.More importantly, it built confidence for everyone, including Yin Xu himself. It may not be impossible for more than 5000 people to defeat [-] people. The key still depends on tactics and strategies.

That night, everyone was in a happy mood and slept very soundly.At dawn, lead the people to transfer from Qingshigou.The flood has receded, and there are messy trees, stones, and tents. Walking down the muddy mountain road, Qin Bing's white corpses are everywhere, with panic and despair in their open eyes. Everything tells of the tragedy of the flood last night.

Yin Xu led people all the way through the muddy mountain road, picking up the weapons of the Qin army.This time, Yin Xu's subordinates finally ended the Wooden Age and entered the Bronze Age.Especially some time ago, seeing other bandits with long swords while he could only hold a wooden stick, let alone the excitement.

At this moment, Yin Xu thought of a few lyrics: No guns, no cannons, the enemy built it for me... I wanted to sing a song, but thinking about the content of the lyrics, I still forget it.Along the way, I collected more than [-] weapons, and the extras were hidden on the hillside, and I made a note of them so that I might use them later.As for the corpses of the hundreds of Qin soldiers, they were helpless. It depended on whether the generals would come to collect the corpses and bury them after they got the news.Otherwise, it would be really sad to expose the corpses in the wilderness like this and feed the beasts.

Qingshixi has resumed its former gurgling water, and when it was about to walk out of the valley, it saw several Qin soldiers running with disgruntled faces, and there seemed to be a general among them. Seeing Yin Xu and others appeared, it was like seeing a devil, rolling Take the climb and run outside.

Zhou said angrily, "I'll take a few people up and kill them."

Yin Xu grabbed Zhou Da, shook his head and said, "Why bother, it's already so pitiful, you have to be sympathetic, and there's no need to beat a dog in the water."

"Uh!" Zhou Da laughed and said, "But there seems to be a general inside, do you want to let that dog go?"

Yin Xu smiled and said: "Let it go, of course let it go, our kindness does not mean that his coach will be kind. How can I explain it when I go back after hundreds of people died? Wouldn't it be better to suffer the harsh reprimand and humiliation that I received?"

It took Zhou a long time to react, and said: "Young Master, I thought you pitied them, but it turns out that Young Master is more ruthless than me."

Yin Xu patted Zhou Da on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Where, it's just a joke. Let them go because he can see with his eyes and can speak with his mouth."

"Huh?" Zhou Da's eyes widened, he was at a loss.

Gao Yi beside him smiled and said, "So that's why the things in Rongshu Ridge were left for the south?"

Pu Jun on the side smiled lightly: "Master, this move is brilliant, it seems that Qin Jun has to follow us again."

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Da looked at the mysterious smile and the mysterious words in a daze, at a loss.

Lu Ming, who fell behind, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it so much, just do as the young master tells you. Look at your dirty hands, and go to the river to wash them."

"Oh!"

Seeing Zhou Da's funny movements and expressions, everyone laughed together.

After a day and a night without a grain of rice, Lieutenant General Li was exhausted, coupled with the mental blow brought about by a fiasco.A strong man, he walked crookedly and almost fell down.

When the flood roared at night, he ran up the hillside first and squatted behind a small tree.Hearing the heart-piercing shouts and wails of his subordinate Paoze, he was terrified.But what can he do?Just squatting helplessly behind a small tree, the whole night.

It was dawn, it was finally dawn, and the night was as long as ten years.Lieutenant General Li stood up tremblingly, his legs were numb for a while due to squatting for too long.Under the hillside and on the river beach, there is nothing but the peaceful river.

It took a long time for Lieutenant General Li to discern the direction and return the same way.Along the way, the corpses of his subordinates kept appearing, one after another, one by one.At this moment, he had to blame himself. As a general, it was his responsibility to underestimate the enemy.The death of hundreds of lives made him wake up in an instant. The bandits were not a mob, on the contrary they were very cunning and capable, and they were too arrogant and underestimated the enemy before.

However, it was too late to understand, all his subordinates were dead, what about him?Surely there is no escape from guilt.Before, I thought about making the first contribution and paying off the crime, but now I have played everything.Lieutenant General Li felt like crying, but there were no tears.

Walking along the way, dozens of surviving subordinates saw him and surrounded him one after another, supporting each other and fleeing out of the valley.But not far away, the robbers followed, all of them were smiling and proud, wasn't that what I was yesterday?The world turned upside down overnight.

When the subordinates saw the robbers from a distance, they were all terrified, including him, they thought it was over.Unexpectedly, the bandit didn't catch up at all, but showed a sneering and disdainful expression.They didn't have the energy to pay attention to these things, they stumbled and ran away.Looking extremely embarrassed, these are not important, the most important thing is to escape.

But what will it be like to return to the camp?He hit the road twice before and after, and hundreds of people were lost.Can An Tong tolerate herself?He didn't know, but as a general with a family and a family he had no choice.

Lieutenant General Li walked all the way, and sometimes hid in the woods to watch the movements of the bandits, because he did not forget to take revenge.I saw picking up weapons along the way, happily throwing away the wooden sticks and bamboo poles, and hanging the long sword at his waist.bumpkin!Lieutenant General Li cursed secretly from the bottom of his heart, he still looked down on these bandits from the bottom of his heart.

The bandit who picked up the weapons did not return to the mountain, but swaggered out of the valley.Lieutenant General Li's eyes widened, a little unbelievable, isn't it courting death to go out of the forest at this time?This news must be reported to An Tong immediately, hoping to save a lifeline.At the same time, he quickly dispatched troops to encircle and suppress the bandits, and revenge.

Just like that, Lieutenant General Li returned to An Tong's camp with a sad face.Only after entering the big account did he know that he was the only one who had experienced this, and all the troops in the Baishui County Gorge were also attacked, but the losses were much smaller than his own.

Lieutenant General Li knelt on the ground and told his story in detail.An Tong was furious when he heard that, he grabbed a pottery bowl on the case and threw it out, Lieutenant Li's forehead was bleeding profusely.

"Stupid, incompetent!" An Tong yelled furiously, and at the same time drew out his sword, intending to kill.

Lieutenant General Li thought: Don't you just underestimate the enemy?The expression on his face did not dare to change the slightest, so he could only sincerely plead: "The last general is incompetent, please spare your life, general, please forgive me!"

Fortunately, the generals on the left and right usually applauded Lieutenant General Li, and hurried forward to stop him.Lieutenant General Li said without losing the opportunity that the bandits came out of the mountain.It was only then that An Tong's attention shifted.

"The bandit came out of the mountain?"

"Yes, General!"

"Which song is this from? Isn't going out of the mountain to seek death?" Some generals were very puzzled.

"We are not familiar with the terrain in the mountains, so we will suffer. It stands to reason that the bandits should make good use of it. How could they escape?"

"Could it be that we were afraid that we would split up and encircle them? With the lessons learned this time, as long as our army is careful, we will be able to encircle and wipe them out sooner or later. Maybe the bandits thought of this before they made this move."

An Tong thought for a while, then asked: "Send sentry cavalry to investigate the location of the bandits, and if they are confirmed to be outside the mountain, send all the troops back and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Vice General Li said earnestly: "The last general requests to go out with the army, to take the blame and make meritorious service."

An Tong said unhappily: "You, forget it! Xin Gang, punish him to do chores first, and deal with him later."

After leaving the camp, Lieutenant General Li breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his sleeve to wipe the blood on his forehead.Xindao: As long as the bandits can be wiped out successfully, everything will be fine.It is naturally false to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, and it is not unreasonable to think that advances are retreats.

Take advance as retreat!Yin Xu also agrees with this.When they were rushing north of Rongshu Ridge, a person appeared, which made him overjoyed!
