The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 79
Meng Ao rested at the mansion for half a day, drank some porridge, and felt much better.

In the evening, Yingqian summoned him.

"Meet the General."

After Meng Ao entered, he knelt down on one knee.

Yingqian was still dressed like that, looking deep, and a bronze mask on his nose made him even more unpredictable.

A censer was lit on the long black table in front of him, and the smoke was rising.

After a pause, Yingqian asked, "You are the only one coming back, where is Bailixiong?"

"General Baili, already... already died in battle." Meng Ao bowed his hands and lowered his head.

"what!"

Yingqian almost gritted his teeth and shouted, the murderous aura rose from his body, and his body trembled slightly.

He was trying his best to control, but thanks to his patience for many years, he was able to control his emotions. He slowly closed his eyes and asked, "Tell me what happened in detail."

"Here."

Meng Ao had no choice but to tell the truth about how the Qin army attacked Dahan Village in detail.

It just concealed the fact that he was captured, that is, he broke out from an ambush, and Bai Lixiong died on the spot.

……

After listening, I was stunned for a long time.

Yingqian couldn't believe it, and asked again: "There is such a village in the deep mountains, and my five hundred Daqin soldiers were wiped out without any results?"

"Yes, I have never seen such a village before. The stone pagoda built is very difficult to break through. I'll forget it at the time. If you want to break through that village, you need at least..." Meng Ao didn't pick up this and continued, or I dare not say.

"How many troops do you need?" Yingqian asked coldly.

"At least [-] troops are needed." Meng Ao raised his head and said firmly.

"Ha ha ha ha……."

Yingqian raised his head and laughed, pointed at Meng Ao, and covered his chest with his other hand while laughing.

Meng Ao didn't smile and watched quietly.

"waste!"

Yingqian slammed the table fiercely, stood up murderously, and said angrily: "A small village needs [-] troops? Isn't that more difficult to break than a city? These words will only show your incompetence."

To send these 500 people, they all need to disguise themselves and sneak into Chu State.

Don't say that Chu State will not agree to send [-] troops, nor will the ministers of Qin State.

This is Yingqian's private goods.

"My subordinates are not saying anything false. That village is indeed harder to attack than a city."

Meng Ao was also helpless. If you had never seen the kind of defensive building in Dahan Village, it would be difficult to believe it.

"Then you are all pig brains? Don't you set fire to the mountains in the deep mountains?" Yingqian said angrily.

"General Baili also thought about it, but the other party seems to have been prepared for a long time, cutting out a strip of isolation in the woods, there is no way to form a large-scale fire that threatens the village, so he gave up." Meng Ao said helplessly.

"That's enough, I don't want to hear your explanation anymore, get out of here." Yingqian waved impatiently.

Meng Ao didn't move, with a hesitant expression on his face.

"Didn't you hear what the old man said?" Yingqian's voice was low, obviously angry to the extreme.

Meng Ao raised his head and said seriously: "I have seen the fortifications of Dahan Village. I would like to ask the general to give me a chance to make amends and let me train an army. I can definitely avenge my previous shame."

The commander died in battle and his men fled back.

No country would easily forgive him, Meng Ao would be considered good if he survived, and he dared to make such an unreasonable request.

Ying Qian stared at him expressionlessly for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

As his lieutenant general, Bai Lixiong still has the basic qualities of a general, otherwise he would not have stayed with him, but he led [-] Qin army elites and was wiped out. I have to say that the village is weird.

It is impossible for Yingqian to swallow this breath, and he will definitely attack again.

And Meng Ao in front of him is the only survivor who came back, and his previous position is not too low, so he is indeed qualified to train a group of soldiers to go again.

Yingqian closed his eyes, sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll give you a chance."

"Thank you, General." Meng Ao excitedly cupped his hands to thank him.

"Don't worry yet." Ying Qian tapped the table with his fingers and said in a deep voice: "The coach died in battle and you came back alone. If you are not punished, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the crowd. Go get fifty military sticks. If you can survive, I will Just train a team of soldiers, and if you're unlucky, forget about it."

Meng Ao's forehead was covered with sweat, not to mention fifty army sticks, ordinary soldiers would probably die if they hit the army sticks.

"Here."

Just bite the bullet and take it.

"Haha, you are lucky. Yiqu has been a little restless recently. Your Majesty needs to send troops to suppress it. I will appoint you as a thousand men. I will remember this military stick for the time being and wait for you to come back to execute it."

Ying Qian felt that Meng Ao still had a useful talent. The military stick was just a sword hanging over his head. It was not up to him to decide when to cut him off.

"Thank you, General."

Meng Ao was really hell one moment, and heaven at this moment.

Although the army sticks were written down and not carried out, they have now been promoted. Qianren is a middle-level officer who controls 1000 people, and he is considered a high-ranking figure in the army.

"Go down."

"Subordinates retire."

Meng Ao bowed his hands and retreated, Yingqian was the only one left in the room.

Not only is Yiqu restless, but the king also wants to attack Bashu and build a rear granary for Qin to prepare for future wars in the east.

The plan to annihilate Dahan Village will have to be put on hold for some time.

The matter of exterminating Shang Yang's clan has become an obsession in Yingqian's heart, and it is the only thing he wants to do while alive.

"Shang Jun, you have to wait for a while. Don't worry, I will never break my promise. Your tribe will definitely accompany you."

Ying Qian laughed loudly, with his long gray hair hanging down like a madman.

After Meng Ao came out, he found that his clothes were soaked in sweat.

"Wait for me, when the time comes, I will show you the strength of Qin's army."

Meng Ao raised his head, and that white figure came to mind.

When he came back, he wanted to take control of the military so that he could surrender Su Lin when he attacked Dahan Village. From now on, Su Lin would only belong to him.

Then why didn't he stay in Dahan Village?

Because he felt that if he stayed there, he would be Su Lin's subordinates. Although they were close, they had no chance to go any further.

Meng Ao wants to get what he wants through his own efforts.

That's what men think.

Dahan Village.

Su Lin knew that Qin would not let it go, and the villagers in the Nanzheng stronghold also got some information.

Faced with Yiqu's invasion, Qin Guo can't care about her now.

With the strength of the Qin State, I believe that the rebellion will be suppressed soon. When the time comes, it will not be as simple as a few hundred people.

Before Qin sends troops next time, the monarch level must be upgraded to level 5, the village center must be upgraded to the town center, unlock more buildings and recruit more militia.

In order to have the strength to resist Qin's army.

The military training in the village is going on as usual, and the recruited villagers needless to say, are very obedient.

Lord Shang's people also dared not disobey orders because they had nowhere to go.

Only the dozen or so Orion households were a bit thorny. They were used to idleness, and they could obey orders at first. Later, some people began to stay in bed and not go to morning exercises, causing other Orion households to follow suit.

In the end, more than a dozen of them discussed and decided not to go.

Li Jinlong didn't know how to deal with this matter, so he reported to Su Lin.

"My lord, there are thirteen hunters who don't do morning exercises collectively, what should we do?" Li Jinlong cupped his hands and asked for instructions.

Su Lin was dressed in white clothes and boots, and was drinking tea with his legs crossed.

Hearing this, he put down the bamboo tea cup and said calmly: "According to the regulations, how should I deal with it?"

"Those who fail to practice will be given twenty lashes."

This regulation was formulated by Su Lin and several battalion commanders. It only stipulates a few punishment measures for the villagers.

"Execute." Su Lin had no extra words.

"All?"

Li Jinlong confirmed again that if the villagers made a mistake, they would execute it without asking for instructions.

But these hunters are not our own, almost half of them are afraid of affecting the stability of the village if they are punished, so they came to ask for instructions.

"Everyone. If you don't follow, you will be expelled from the village without mercy."

Su Lin must be unselfish, so that the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the village can be improved.

If they are all like them and don't obey orders, how can they manage?

"Here."

Li Jinlong understood the meaning of the lord, turned around and left with his hands folded.
