The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 48
The scouts reported the investigation in detail.

"A mountain village dares to ambush my Daqin army?"

Yingqian laughed angrily, then his face turned into hatred, he gritted his teeth, "Call Bailixiong over here."

"Here."

The scouts bowed down, and after a while, Bai Lixiong entered the room. He was originally Yingqian's lieutenant general, but he was demoted after the defeat in the Luofenggu battle.

For the current centurion, this is already a very serious punishment.

It's like being demoted from the former Marshal's staff to the deputy company commander. I feel aggrieved thinking about it, and I always want to find a chance to wash away my shame.

"Meet the General."

Seeing Yingqian's unhappy expression, Bailixiong felt apprehensive, bowed his hands and stood there waiting for orders.

"The scouts told you the situation just now." Ying Qian's voice was flat, unable to hear joy or sorrow.

"The general will know something." Bai Lixiong nodded.

"You were originally my lieutenant. Did you have any complaints when I made you a centurion?"

"The end will not dare."

Bai Lixiong quickly cupped his hands and knelt down, wondering what the general meant by asking this question?
"Now I ask you to atone for your sins. If you do a good job, you will be reinstated and even go further. If not, then don't come to see me again." Ying Qian's voice turned cold at the end, meaning that if you can't complete the task, don't leave. Want to live.

"The last general is willing to serve the general." Bai Lixiong roughly knew what to do.

"You go and select three hundred elites from the army, disguise yourself and sneak into the Chu Kingdom, and go to the hiding place of Shang Yang's remnants. I want to keep one alive in that village." Ying Qian originally closed his eyes slightly, but after speaking, his eyes suddenly opened, Exuding endless murderous aura.

"The last general takes orders."

Bai Lixiong knew that the time had come to wash away his shame.

The last time I didn't know the enemy's situation, I was ambushed and failed. If the opponent was a regular army, that's all.

But the scouts said that the other party turned out to be a bunch of mud legs of mountain peasants.

What a shame!
If he cannot kill all these people, this will be an indelible stain on his life in the future.

Because he was going to the territory of Chu State, he could not wear Qin army armor, which caused panic in Chu State and led to a crisis in the relationship between the two countries. He had to disguise himself and sneak in, complete the task and then return quietly.

If they lose, Ying Qian will not admit that they are fighting for Qin and will most likely be abandoned.

After leaving Ying Qian's room, Bai Lixiong quickly called the scouts over. He didn't have time to learn more just now. Since he was going to attack, he had to be fully prepared.

"The little one was just exploring the periphery, and was discovered without further understanding. The specific scene in the village is not clear, but there were many hunters coming out of the village, and the bows and arrows they carried were very ordinary. They can't compete with our Great Qin." On a par with..."

After this scout was discovered by the hunting squad that day, he was very decisive in injuring people and escaping, which shows that he has some ability.

"Well, I will understand, let's go down." Bai Lixiong nodded, and then waved his hand.

The scout resigned.

"They are just a group of mountain villagers. I will definitely make you pay the price." Bai Lixiong thought of the disastrous defeat that day and decided to regain his position this time no matter what.

This time the heads of those people must be cut off and hung on the tree.

Bai Lixiong clenched his fists, with bloodthirsty eyes flashing in his eyes, and left in black military boots.

The valley to the north of Dahan Village is a very huge basin.

The terrain in this valley is flat, compared with the surrounding mountains and dense forests, it seems that the world has been replaced.

If you look here alone, you think you are on the prairie.

It's already autumn, and the weeds on the ground are turning yellow, and there are many horses and wild deer grazing and drinking leisurely.

"It's really a wonderful workmanship of nature. There is such a treasure land in the mountains."

Standing on a high place, Su Lin looked at the valley below, feeling very moved.

To be honest, the place where Su Lin appeared is really good. There are iron mines in the northwest, Nansha Lake in the south, a river at the entrance of the village, and valleys and pastures here. It is simply an excellent place to develop power.

The most important thing is that it is relatively isolated from the outside world. You have to walk a long mountain road to get in from the outside. If the enemy comes to attack, it will definitely be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Although it is inconvenient to form cavalry in the mountains, it is still inconvenient without a mount.

To inspect Nanshahu Village or the mines in the northwest, you have to walk there, and you have to walk a long way. Su Lin is also lazy and can't go there several times a month.

This time, if you say anything, you have to grab a mount and go back, and even if conditions permit, build a horse ranch here to prepare for the formation of cavalry in the future.

The cavalry is a very expensive unit, and its current role is limited. It is better to invest the limited resources in other areas, which may be useful in the future, so be prepared.

Su Lin and his party were standing on a high ground. If they wanted to reach the basin below, they had to find a suitable path.

The height difference is very large, and everyone searched for a while before finding a gentle slope to go down.

The horse rope is a powerful tool for taming wild horses.

Just turn a few times and knead the wild horse's neck, keep fighting with him, and then take the opportunity to ride on the horse's back. No matter how hard the wild horse struggles, as long as you don't fall off, it will be considered complete when he is exhausted. The first step to subdue.

"My lord, these wild horses are so fat."

Li Jinlong looked at a group of wild horses grazing in the distance, his eyes sparkled.

It is also his dream to have his own mount.

"Well, it's up to you what to do."

Su Lin simply counted, there are at least 100 wild horses, drinking water and grazing by the river, which is very eye-catching.

The aquatic plants here are rich, and there are many wild fruits near the foot of the mountain. The wild horses grow well after eating their hair.

If you can conquer them all, you will make a fortune.

"To capture the thief, first capture the king. As long as the horse king can be regained, this group of wild horses will be in the bag." Li Jinlong is well aware of the habits of horses.

As long as there are animals that live in groups, there will be a leader.

It's the same whether it's a lion, a monkey or a horse, even humans.

"Then how do you judge who is the king of horses?" Su Lin didn't know how to train horses, so he humbly asked for advice.

"Back to my lord, you can tell by looking at the attitudes of the other wild horses. As long as it is the king of horses, it will occupy a good drinking point, and the king of horses will occupy the majority of other mares." Li Jinlong said.

Su Lin looked at the group of horses, but he didn't see a horse king that met the conditions, so he couldn't help asking: "Why didn't I find any wild horses that met the conditions?"

Li Jinlong was also watching, frowning slightly, wondering: "It shouldn't be, is there no horse king in this group of horses?"

There are exceptions to everything and cannot be explained by common sense.

"Wait a little longer, maybe Ma Wang is on his lunch break." Su Lin chuckled, it's not too late anyway.

Ma Wang is taking a lunch break?
Everyone couldn't help laughing. Although it sounds funny, it's not impossible.

The militiamen spread leather mats on the grass, took out the prepared wild fruits and cooked venison, and began to eat.

We set off in the morning, walked for several hours, and found a way to get down from the mountain. It took a lot of energy, and now everyone is hungry.

Su Lin sat alone on a fur cushion, which was made of wild wolf fur and was relatively soft.

Where did this group of people come to look for horses, they simply came out for a picnic.

Not only are there wild fruits and venison, Su Lin also brought some fruit wine himself, the alcohol content is very low, even if you drink some, it won't delay things.

Only wait for the horse king to appear, if you rush to capture the wild horses now, you will disturb the horse herd, and you will not be able to catch a few horses.

Su Lin has a big appetite and wants to capture all the more than 100 horses.

So don't be in a hurry.
