The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 70
The Qin army's advantages could not be brought into play at all, and there was no way to face the solid arrow tower.

Lives were lost under bow after arrow, and a man fell every few seconds.

"Boom boom boom... boom boom boom..."

From the hillside came the sound of war drums, the beat of retreat.

The attacking Qin army breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the drumbeat, and began to retreat crazily, which looked like a big rout.

"Kill!"

Chen Fu approached the wooden fence and frantically shot at the fleeing Qin army.

Yesterday when Qin Jun insulted the corpses of the two old hunters, Chen Fu gritted his teeth and vowed to avenge the two elders.

"Brothers, follow me and rush out to kill!"

Chen Fu raised his clenched fist and roared loudly.

Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, the enemy can be effectively annihilated. This is a common tactic used by two armies to confront each other. Even if Chen Fu has never fought, he still understands such a simple truth.

"Don't chase after the poor!"

Su Lin felt something was wrong, and it was surprisingly smooth, so he hurried out to stop it.

Qin Jun sent fifty or sixty lives foolishly, and just withdrew?

Is this still the Qin army?

"Miss Su, it's a good time to kill the bandits, why don't you chase them?" Chen Fu asked loudly, puzzled.

"Yeah, the opportunity to fight is fleeting. Miss Su quickly ordered that the brothers in the village follow us out to hunt down the bandits."

Chen Lu also came over to persuade them that the hunters hated these 'bandits' to the bone, and they must not be allowed to run away like this.

"The bandits only killed a small number of people, and no one was injured at all. We may be cheating if we rush after them."

Su Lin really felt that it was too smooth, besides, her character is very cautious, and she will never take the initiative to attack now that she has an advantage.

"Oh, Miss Su, you don't know the art of war. The bandits, who are fleeing in a big way, have lost their morale. We chase after them like slaughtering lambs. If we let them go, we will never be able to avenge our dead relatives in the future."

Chen Lu was very anxious, seeing that the 'bandit' was about to run away.

If the bandits really ran away, they would just let the tiger go back to the mountain. Where can they find them in the future?
The tone of Su Lin was also very angry, and she wanted to say: You, a woman, know what war is, and war is still our men's business. If you don't understand, don't meddle in it.

Su Lin was not annoyed either. He smiled and said, "I am the highest commander of the village now. If I say I can't go, I can't go."

If Su Lin hadn't nodded, the other militiamen wouldn't have followed. Could it be that these twenty or so hunters were counted on?

"Hey."

Annoyed, Chen Fu smashed his fists with both hands, seeing that the opportunity to fight was lost, he stamped his feet and beat his chest angrily.

Seeing that the 'bandit' had already run away, Chen Fu asked in a nonchalant tone, "Miss Su, you said you would take the head of the bandit leader within three days, but now the bandits have all run away, how do you take it?"

That's right, what you promised can't be ignored.

If you can't keep your promise, how will you convince the public in the future?

Not only the militiamen in Orion Village also looked at Su Lin, waiting for her explanation.

"I said three days, isn't it just one day? Don't worry, I will do what I say." Su Lin smiled confidently.

Chen Fu doesn't believe it, if you don't seize such a good opportunity, will the bandits foolishly come up to die tomorrow?
Since Su Lin said so, let's wait and see tomorrow.

On the hillside, Bailixiong stared at Dahan Village, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.

"The leader of this village belongs to the tortoise, why don't you come out like this?"

Bai Lixiong was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of old blood medicine. In order to plan this "big rout", he really lost more than 50 soldiers, just to wait for the people in the village to come out, and then use a team of Qin troops who had ambushed a long time ago. , The soldiers with 'fleeing' fought back in one fell swoop.

Although doing so will cause greater losses, as long as the opponent comes out, he is sure to injure the opponent.

but.

Bai Lixiong can't figure it out, he's done this, and he still hasn't come out?
Now Bai Lixiong has a kind of trick that he has learned the art of war from his grandma's family for so many years.

There is no particularly good way to deal with this turtle-shaped general, except to surround him without attacking.

But the other party must have enough food in the village, and they can't fight to consume it. If they drag on, if they don't trap the other party to death, they will starve to death first.

Have to go back and make plans.

"General, what should we do next?"

The centurion came forward and only knew about Bai Lixiong's plan before the battle started. Although it seemed a bit risky, he would lose many soldiers.

But if the plan is successful, it will be worth it.

In war, we generally only look at the result, not the process.

"What else can I do, let's withdraw to Qin." Bai Lixiong raised his head, closed his eyes, frustrated in his heart.

After going back, I don't know how Yingqian will punish him?
"Withdraw? Is it necessary to withdraw now..." The centurion was a little unwilling.

"There is no point in procrastinating any longer. Although we planned to 'defeat' to lure the opponent out, you also saw it when we attacked the stronghold. It is really difficult to fight. We have to mobilize more troops to attack." Bai Lixiong sighed.

The centurion thinks about it too, the dense array of arrow towers in Dahan Village makes people desperate.

"Here, my subordinates go down and make arrangements." The centurion cupped his hands and went down to convey the order.

Bai Lixiong turned around and glanced at the Dahan Village in the distance, and said in a low voice: "I will come back, when the Daqin Iron Army is approaching the city, everyone will die!"

Counting the number of deaths, the Qin army killed a total of 89 people, including the more than 30 people who died when they pulled out the arrow tower twice before.

In Dahan Village, a total of 24 people died, and Su Lin could know the exact number through Silly Girl's prompt.

All in all it was a victory.

Dahan Village also carried back the bodies of the militiamen who died in battle, and found a good place on the mountain to bury them in peace.

"Great Han Cemetery."

All the militiamen who died were buried here, and the corpses were also buried in a centralized manner. If they were not handled properly, they would cause diseases.

In the past, cemeteries were carved with wooden signs, but now the quarry can process many stone materials, including tombstone sarcophagi.

In order to show his solemnity, Su Lin asked people to bury people first, and then carved out a stele. Every dead person would have his name carved out, and people would come to worship every year in the future.

This kind of ceremony will enhance the sense of cohesion among the villagers and should not be sloppy.

It's approaching evening.

The four hundred Qin soldiers marched with their heads bowed like eggplants beaten by frost.

When I came out this time, I was full of confidence, but I didn't expect that in the end, I lost my troops and lost my generals. I didn't take any advantage, so I went back like this.

"The Falling Wind Valley is in front of the general. Shall we set up camp here first and then drive tomorrow?" The centurion came over on horseback and asked.

Because their army horses could not enter the mountain, they were all concentrated in the camp outside the forest and guarded by a few soldiers.

After leaving the mountain, several generals mounted their horses.

Bailixiong raised his whip and shook his head, "No, let's rest after passing Luofeng Valley overnight. I don't feel at ease in Chu State."

"Here."

As night fell, the soldiers held up a few torches to illuminate the road ahead, and the surrounding was quiet, only the footsteps of the soldiers could be heard.

Bai Lixiong rode on his horse and saw the valley entrance of Luofeng Valley. After passing this narrow path, it was within the territory of Qin State.

Bai Lixiong is not worried about sending out scouts for routine investigation. Who else will attack him at this time?

After a brief investigation, Bai Lixiong led the soldiers into the valley.

It was in this valley that day that Su Lin ambushed and beat him, and he has not been able to take revenge until today.

Baili Xiong was depressed, but not desperate. He also thought about reporting to the general after returning and sending more troops to attack.

I don't believe that this small village can still resist Qin's tiger and wolf division.

Just thinking about how to report back, suddenly there was a shout of killing from above the valley, holding a torch very conspicuous in the dark night.

"It's not good to have an ambush!"

Bai Lixiong was shocked, he couldn't figure out where the enemy came from.
