The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 32 Falling Wind Canyon
puff.

The deputy general rode on the horse, and the bronze sword in his hand pierced Qing Zhuang's chest. The bronze sword in the Qing Zhuang's hand fell, and he fell unwillingly in a pool of blood.

"Bah, wasting my time."

The lieutenant general spit, this is a massacre, more than 50 young and strong were all beheaded.

However, the Qin army only had eight cavalry dead and several others injured.

The lieutenant general was not happy with the victory in the battle. This group of young men delayed them for nearly half an hour, which was enough to make Shang Yang's people run far away.

"Chase."

The lieutenant raised his blood-stained bronze sword, pointed it forward, and drove his horse after him.

More than 180 cavalrymen rushed over without taking any rest.

Soon they came to a canyon.

"General, Luofeng Valley is ahead, which is at the junction of Qin and Chu. Do we still want to chase?" the centurion next to him asked for instructions.

"Those people just entered the canyon not long after the footsteps, catch up and kill them in Luofeng Valley!"

The lieutenant general has long been suffocated, chasing and killing hundreds of unarmed civilians is so strenuous, if he can't complete this task well, how can he explain to the general when he goes back?

"The Luofeng Valley is long and narrow, which is not conducive to cavalry attacks. This kind of terrain is the easiest to set up an ambush. If the enemy has an ambush in the canyon, the consequences will be disastrous." The centurion reminded.

"enemy?"

The lieutenant looked at him, then laughed.

"Where did the enemy army come from? Are those mud legs the enemy army?"

"Joke, my Daqin army is still afraid of a bunch of mud legs?"

Being able to follow Yingqian as a lieutenant is also a familiarity with military books, knowing that this road is easy to ambush.

But now it's hunting down Shang Yang's remnants, and it's not fighting between the two countries, so there is no need to worry about enemy ambushes.

Besides, Qin State and Chu State are engaged in the "honeymoon period". Who else would dare to ambush the Qin army in this place except the army of Chu State?

"Here."

The centurion next to him thought about it too. Those Shang Yang's tribesmen fled to the canyon in a hurry. They were running for their lives in a hurry and had no time to ambush.

"kill!"

The lieutenant waved his hand, and all the cavalry chased after them, and the three cavalry entered the canyon in an orderly manner.

thump thump...

Except for the sound of horseshoes, there was no other movement, and there was an indescribable strangeness in the entire canyon.

"General, my subordinates feel that something is wrong, why don't you go to explore the road first?" The centurion next to him felt that the canyon was abnormal, which was his intuition from years of war.

"What's wrong? If you dare to disturb the morale of the army, be careful of our military law. Go ahead and take a few people to explore the way." The lieutenant general was furious. After thinking about it, he thought it would be better to play it safe.

You've already come here, and you're going back before completing the mission?If you really go back like this, you will inevitably be ridiculed by your colleagues.

"Here."

The centurion really wanted to slap himself in the face, but it was a kind reminder, but he never wanted to send himself up.

I ordered three cavalrymen and explored the way forward.

This canyon is very long, at least one kilometer in length, and the twists and turns are not in a straight line. Only when you get closer can you see the people in front of you.

Sure enough, the centurion saw hundreds of people rushing forward.

Finally caught up.

The centurion quickly turned his horse's head and went back to report.

……

"just in front?"

The deputy general was overjoyed when he heard the news, "Rush forward and kill them."

All the cavalry rushed up at a faster speed, and Qin was promoted to the rank of military merit. I don't know if chasing and killing rebels counts as military merit.

Although the canyon restricted the speed of the cavalry, it was still faster than walking, and soon they saw the fleeing people in front of them.

"Haha, kill me!"

The deputy general shook his bronze sword and shouted excitedly.

"Drive, drive."

The sound of horseshoes clanging echoed in the narrow valley road, and the sound was like a thousand troops.

As long as they catch up with these people, it will be a massacre like a wolf into a flock of sheep.

Only blood can vent the anger in the lieutenant general's chest.

A killing was inevitable.

At this moment, there was a shout from above the valley road.

Is there an ambush?
Hearing the shouts, Qin Jun panicked. If there was really an ambush, this long and narrow valley road would be the best place for the cavalry to be buried.

"How is it possible? Whose ambush?"

The deputy general couldn't figure it out, how could there be an ambush here?

In front.

Hearing the voice, Guiguzi turned his head and looked behind, his hanging heart finally fell.

"Miss Su, I owe you a favor. Don't worry, I will repay you a hundred times in the future." Guiguzi looked at the valley road and whispered to himself.

Know that the above is the people of Surin.

"drive."

Guiguzi drove forward, the battle here should be handed over to Su Lin, and he had to escort these people.

above the valley road.

It was the people brought by Su Lin.

After receiving the bamboo slips from Guiguzi, he led a hundred militiamen and a hundred villagers to set up an ambush again.

Su Lin wore a brown cowhide armor with a rough linen jacket underneath. His long black hair stood up and was slightly crooked, typical of people from Chu.

Wearing cowhide boots on the feet, the production is relatively rough, so we can only adapt to local conditions and wear whatever is available.

This was Su Lin's first time commanding a battle. His palms were sweating and he kept rubbing his hands. This was a life-and-death battle, not as simple as playing a game.

Anyone who sees life and death fighting can't help being nervous and afraid.

The location of the ambush was chosen by Guiguzi, knowing that Su Lin had no experience in war, so he chose such a place where it was easiest to set up an ambush.

"Archery, shoot hard for me, don't feel sorry for wooden arrows, we have plenty."

Su Lin yelled loudly, not knowing how to direct, so he imitated the people on the TV and made his voice louder to encourage them.

Whoosh whoosh.

The densely packed bows and arrows shot down from above, from top to bottom, are more powerful than shooting up from below, and the valley road below is narrow, so there is no need to aim at all, and the rain of arrows is enough.

"And you, push down the stones and kill them." Su Lin began to command the villagers again.

The shooting skills of the villagers are very limited, so let them prepare some big stones and rolling logs and throw them directly.

"Here."

Not only Su Lin was nervous, but these villagers were also very nervous. This was the first time to kill someone. When they moved the stone, their hands were still trembling.

The militiamen were fine, shooting arrows from above, and they didn't have to go down to fight the enemy. If they really fought head-on, these militiamen might not be the opponents of the Qin army.

Because of the limited smelting technology, the arrow is a little soft, and the damage is not as great as imagined. If it is shot on the leather armor, it is better to say that it is close, but it may not be able to penetrate the leather armor at a far distance.

Comparatively speaking, these stones and rolling logs are more lethal. Throwing stones and logs from top to bottom, the higher the height, the greater the impact force. Basically, if you hit them, you will die.

"what."

A Qin Jun was hit on the head, and after only half ah, he fell into a pool of blood, motionless.

"Who? Who the hell? Who attacked us?"

The lieutenant asked three consecutive questions as if he had lost his mind.

No one answered him, and no one knew.

Where did these people come from?Could it be Shang Yang's private soldiers who had ambushed a long time ago?
It is easy for people to deify famous people. Shang Yang's name is ordinary, and the people of Qin hate and fear him, and so does the lieutenant general.

If it was really arranged by Shang Yang, it would be too terrifying. He secretly trained a private army, but he didn't let the wind out at all.

Thinking of this, the hairs all over my body stood up.

"Withdraw, withdraw for me."

The lieutenant didn't care about anything else, he beat the horse under his crotch desperately, and ran wildly.
