The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 216
"Only by winning a battle first can the Shu army be forced to retreat." Su Lin stared at them and set the tone.

Bai Qiqiu nodded and said: "Only in this way can the Shu army retreat in spite of difficulties, but this battle cannot be expanded, otherwise the stalemate of the main force will cause a bigger battle, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Li Jinlong frowned: "How can I achieve this effect?"

Bai Qi said: "We can gather the main force to attack the Shu army's garrison in Pingcheng. Pingcheng has more than 2000 soldiers. As long as we eat these people and occupy Pingcheng, the strategic space of the Shu army will be further squeezed, and then the Ba army will advance at the same time. The Shu army was attacked by the enemy, and finally sent an envoy to state their interests, and I believe that the Shu army will definitely make the right choice."

Su Lin nodded when he heard the words: "This plan is very good, let's act according to it, it's not too late. You lead [-] soldiers and attack Pingcheng within three days."

Su Lin felt that this plan was feasible, so he gave the order directly, without dragging his feet.

"The final general will not disgrace the mission."

With a serious face, Bai Qi knelt down on one knee and bowed his hands to accept the order.

When Li Jinlong saw that his lord had said this, he handed it over without any objection and said: "My subordinates will go immediately and prepare to hand over all the weapons in the army to Bai Qi."

Su Lin nodded and said: "Well, let's send someone to tell Zhang Ping to cooperate with us in forming a pincer attack on the army of Shu, forcing the other party to retreat in spite of difficulties."

"Here."

……

In the following time, preparations for mobilization began in the barracks.

The grassroots officers didn't know what to do. The military operation to attack Pingcheng was still highly classified. Only Bai Qi and a few senior generals knew about it.

Soldiers are also tricky, only when the enemy can't figure out what you are going to do, the surprise attack can have unexpected results.

Huang Shi's recruit squad also received the order from above.

Let them step up their preparations, and the next day they can rest in the camp without exercising during the day, and they can take action at night.

Everyone was nervous and excited. Although they didn’t know what they were doing, it must be a big move.

"Have you seen the lord?" the thin and tall young man said in a low voice.

"We didn't dare to look up from behind, why did you see it?" the person next to him straightened his neck and asked.

The tall and thin young man nodded: "You haven't seen it, but you didn't expect that our lord is so beautiful, and the fairies in the sky are just like this.".

"Really?" someone asked uncertainly.

"That's not true. If you don't believe it, just ask the squad leader. He must have seen it right next to me." The tall and thin young man straightened his neck and said.

Someone asked Huang Shi: "Monitor, is my lord really as beautiful as he said?"

After Huang Shi heard this, the white figure flashed in his mind, like a fairy who could not eat fireworks from the world, and it lingered in his mind for a long time.

"Beautiful, indeed very beautiful, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks from the world. I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life. I never expected that the object of our allegiance would be a fairy."

Huang Shi felt an extremely powerful force and wanted to protect his master to the death.

It's the same as the otaku of later generations wanting to protect the goddess in their hearts.

But Huang Shi felt his humbleness again, he was just a small squad leader of recruits, maybe he didn't even have the qualifications to talk to the lord.

I thought in my heart: If I reached the general level like Bai Qi, I would be able to protect the lord.

"If the lord is such a beautiful woman, how did she manage to control such a large force, and those people are still very loyal to him?" Someone expressed the question in his heart.

How can a woman do what a man can't do.

No one could answer this question, and everyone fell into deep thought.

After a whole day's rest, the military camp began to assemble at Zishi, and Bai Qi personally led five thousand soldiers and set off for Pingcheng overnight.

Pingcheng and Shuangxi Town are only half a day away, but Bai Qi chooses to hurry at this time, and the overnight march can reach Pingcheng at dawn.

There is no need to rest at all, and they will attack the city directly after arriving at Pingcheng.

The defender of Pingcheng is Wang Tianyi, the brother-in-law of Shu general Liu Yan. He is only in his 30s this year and became a commander at a young age. This time he followed the Shu army to attack Ba. It was basically a smooth battle.

Taking Pingcheng was effortless, because all the soldiers from Ba were transferred by Zhang Ping to attack Dacheng.

In addition, Pingcheng itself is a small city and does not have much strategic position, so there are only a few hundred militiamen defending it.

Wang Tianyi only led [-] soldiers to attack the city, and the county magistrate of Pingcheng opened the door and surrendered before he reached the city.

Surrendering in this era is not a shameful thing. If you know that you can't do anything to resist, you may be massacred. The smartest choice is to surrender, so as not to lose your life.

Last night, Wang Tianyi was drinking and having fun at the county magistrate's mansion. He fell in love with the county magistrate's daughter in Pingcheng. Taking advantage of the drunkenness, he dragged her into his room forcibly and had fun all night.

Tossing and exhausting before falling asleep
The county magistrate of Pingcheng did not dare to come out because the entire city was occupied by the Shu army. If he dared to resist the enemy, he would definitely be split in half. In order to save the lives of his family, he had no choice but to sacrifice his daughter.

At dawn, Wang Tianyi was lying on the bed, wearing a layer of white single clothes, snoring like thunder.

Lying next to her was a woman covered in injuries. She was not asleep, staring at the roof with blank eyes, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

She was insulted that night, but her father couldn't help her. In order to save the lives of her family, she couldn't do anything, and she didn't dare to do anything.
In troubled times, human life is worthless, let alone a woman.

Suddenly there was a noise outside, and hurried footsteps.

dong dong.

There was a hasty knock on the door, and the soldiers guarding the door shouted: "General, get up quickly, an enemy army has entered the city."

Wang Tianyi was originally impatient with the noise and wanted to lose his temper, but he woke up suddenly when he heard the soldiers shouting.

Sitting up from the bed, he shouted, "What did you say?"

The soldier didn't care too much, he hurriedly opened the door and came in, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "The general is not good, an enemy army has entered the city, and their brothers didn't pay attention to the sneak attack, and with sharp weapons, the brothers couldn't stop it at all." , the gate of the city has been broken open, the general should flee quickly."

"what?"

Wang Tianyi's eyes widened, and he rushed forward with bare feet, grabbed the soldier's collar and shouted: "You bunch of idiots, what's the use of you if you can't even guard a city gate? How many enemy troops have come? How did they get into the city?"

"This, the subordinates don't know." The soldier said with a bitter face.

"Idiots! They're all a bunch of idiots."

Wang Tian was furious, and then pushed the soldier to the ground, turned around and wanted to pull out the bronze long sword hanging on the wall, trying to kill the soldier.

Just when Wang Tianyi was about to draw his sword, the woman on the bed got out of bed, ran over quickly, and stabbed Wang Tianyi's back fiercely.

A bronze dagger was inserted into Wang Tianyi's back.

Wang Tianyi's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at the woman in disbelief, not believing that she dared to kill him.

"Haha, I want to kill you, a beast, and you, a beast, will not die well."

The woman didn't dare to do it at first, for fear of harming her family.

But when she heard the news that Ba soldiers had entered the city, she was immediately filled with courage, took out the dagger she had prepared long ago, stabbed Wang Tianyi in the back, and gave him a fatal blow.

The soldiers were also dumbfounded, and they were so stunned that they forgot to run to the rescue. Just as they were about to go, they heard rustling footsteps in the yard.

After entering the city, Bai Qi led people into the county magistrate's mansion, intending to directly capture the general of Pingcheng alive and take him as a hostage, so that he could be used as a bargaining chip in the negotiation with the general of Shu.

But when Bai Qi rushed into the room, he found that Wang Tianyi had been stabbed to death, so he slammed his palm hard, and said regretfully, "One step too late."
