The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 60 Qin Army Scout

In the evening, the Qin army led by Bai Lixiong camped outside the mountains.

The Qin army has long been accustomed to this kind of marching state, having eaten and slept in the open air all the way. Among the countries, the individual combat power of the soldiers may be the strongest in Wei.

But in terms of organizational ability and war morale, Qin State is undoubtedly the first.

Shang Yang's reform, conferring titles based on military merits, from princes and nobles to ordinary people, there is only one way to go up, and that is to earn military merits.

It has most inspired the self-motivation of most bottom-level people.

Even the brothers of King Qin are the same, without exception.

This is also the reason why the nobles counterattacked. The nobles of Qin State have held the important position of Qin State for generations, but they are asked to give up their existing advantages and start on the same starting line as ordinary people. How could they agree?

Even if Shang Yang was divided into five horses, Shang Yang's law was still not abolished.

There were nearly [-] Qin troops, full of fighting spirit for this battle. Before coming, Bai Lixiong also said that it was to clear up the remnants of the rebellion. Beheading the head is the same as killing the enemy army, and you can earn military merit.

Everyone thinks that this time they came out to earn military merits for nothing, because killing ordinary people and killing soldiers of the enemy country is not comparable in difficulty, but the rewards are the same.

Isn't it a big advantage for nothing?

in the main account.

"Did the general raid the village at night?" the scout asked tentatively.

"Do not."

Bai Lixiong knelt down in front of the wooden table, with a scroll of bamboo slips on it, which looked like a book of war, waved his hand and said:

"To deal with this group of mud-legged people, there is no need to raid at night. Besides, the dark lights and the difficult mountain roads make it impossible to give full play to our army's advantages. We will set off in the early morning of tomorrow and arrive at the village at noon. At three quarters in the afternoon, the whole village will be beheaded. Not happy?"

Bai Lixiong, as the lieutenant general of Yingqian, is familiar with military books and knows how to plan according to the terrain and the enemy's situation, but it is not the best strategy to make a surprise attack at night in the deep mountains.

Since the preparations are sufficient this time, we must crush it in an open and honest manner, and let those damn mud-legged people know what war is.

"Little one understands, so I will go to explore the road overnight and come back in the early morning."

The scout nodded, feeling nothing wrong with Bai Lixiong's arrangement.

His task is to detect the enemy's situation and prevent accidents.

After the scouts left, Bailixiong pulled out his close-fitting bronze long sword, and wiped it with a silk cloth lovingly.

This sword was given to him by Qin Mugong, and it has also witnessed him fighting for the country many times.

"This time, let the blood of you remnants of the rebellion nourish my Baili Sword."

Bai Lixiong's eyes were gloomy and cold, and he closed the scabbard after speaking, the candlelight flickered for a while.

Su Lin hasn't slept well these days.

Yue'er became Zheng Xiu, this matter has been lingering in my heart, I don't know what kind of path Yueer will take in the future.

Will it be blackened like Zheng Xiu in real history?

And Qin Jun is coming.

I don't know when it is, but according to the information given by Zheng Gan, it should be within these two days.

Waiting is the most tormenting, and everyone's nerves are tense. If this continues, I'm afraid it will be broken.

Deep in the mountains, the night is dark.

There is no lighting equipment, only a pile of wood is lit in the center of the village, and the villagers on night duty add wood.

Outside the village, there are patrolling militiamen on the inner and third floors, and in some places, traps and organs have been set up, leaving only a safe passage for the villagers to travel.

Qin Jun's scouts were dressed in black and shuttled through the dense forest.

As a scout, regardless of skill, reaction must be top-notch, equivalent to the special forces among soldiers, no matter how complicated the terrain is, they have to complete the scouting mission.

There are very few soldiers in various countries who meet this condition, and almost most of the scouts are not qualified.

And this Qin army scout is definitely the king of scouts.

Along the way, he found many traps, mainly earth pits or ground copper thorns, and animal traps.

When I found the first place, I thought it was for hunting wild animals, but when I found several places in succession, it was a bit unusual.

"Could it be that they know that our army is coming to attack, and they have already prepared for it?"

The scout thought, startled.

Quickly investigate and report this information to General Baili.

When I came to a highland outside the village, I was about to check the situation of the village.

At this time, a voice came from behind the scout.

"I let you escape last time, where will I see you running this time?"

It was Li Jinlong who came, and he aimed his short bow at the black-clothed scout.

Qin Jun's scouts were shocked. They hid so covertly, but they didn't expect to be discovered.

The opponent's bow and arrow pointed at him, so he had no choice but to raise his hand and stand up slowly.

"How did you find me?" the scout asked puzzled.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just waiting for the rabbit. I let you run away last time. I guess you will definitely come back to investigate. There are three commanding heights suitable for investigation on the outskirts of the village. I'm guarding here, but I'm lucky. , finally waiting for you."

Li Jinlong sneered, and winked at the two militiamen next to him, telling them to tie up the uninvited guest and bring him to the lord.

"Stand by and wait? Hehe, although the method is a bit stupid, it is really easy to use." The scout laughed.

"It's really admirable that you can still laugh when you're dying."

Li Jinlong has not let go of his vigilance, this man is a master, if he didn't want to get some information from him, he would have shot him dead.

"What should I do to fit the current situation? Is it kneeling down and begging for mercy, please don't kill me? I have an 80-year-old mother on top of me and an eight-year-old child on my bottom? Haha, I have already prepared for this errand Well meet death."

After the Qin Jun scout laughed, he nodded slightly, his gaze became firm.

"If you can tell us what we want to know, maybe your life can be spared." Li Jinlong said coldly.

"impossible."

After the scout finished speaking, he turned around abruptly and jumped down towards a hillside more than ten meters high.

The slope is too steep, if you roll down directly, you will die.

But with his skill, how could he die.

"Goodbye."

The scout was dexterous, moving his body back and forth, using support points to ease the pressure of the fall.

As long as you jump to the bottom of the slope, you can escape, at least report the trap information to General Baili.

Li Jinlong looked at the fleeing scout expressionlessly, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Originally you still had a chance to live, but you asked for death yourself."

Li Jinlong had expected it a long time ago, and took a little effort to set up a trap under the hillside.

The scouts of the Qin army were about to land on the slope, and the corner of their mouths already showed a smile of escape, but when they stepped on the ground, they found that the ground was soft and covered with a layer of grass.

Then the whole body fell into it, and there was no chance to hide, and fell directly into the trap.

And the bottom is full of sharp bamboo thorns, only a scream is heard, and there is no movement.

When the militiamen came down the path to check the corpses, they couldn't help throwing up.

This trap is indeed too cruel. The sharp bamboo thorns will penetrate the body. If it were inserted into one's own body, one would feel numb in the scalp just thinking about it.

At the same time, several militiamen looked at Li Jinlong differently.

I used to think that Li Jinlong was lucky enough to be promoted to the deputy director of the executive department. Both the work points and the salary he got were enviable.

You must know that although the village is not so bureaucratic, it also pays attention to the hierarchy.

Generally, good things are given to the officers first. From the eight wild horses tamed by Mo Gu, Li Jinlong was rewarded with one.

The fodder for the rewarded mounts is subsidized by the village, and the mounts also eat public meals.

The most important thing is to be able to follow the lord next to him every day, which is simply a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes.

I always thought that he was lucky, but never thought he was really capable.

It is conceivable that the enemy will send scouts to investigate again. They can find out the most suitable points for investigation in such a large place, and set traps where they may escape.

This calculation makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

Su Lin would be extremely happy if he knew that Li Jinlong was only a militiaman, but he had the quality of a rare (blue) general. This business would make a lot of money.
