Reborn after the apocalypse, stocked up on supplies but still afraid of not having a goddess?

Ye Zheng's troops marched very smoothly, and at nine o'clock in the morning they were only twenty miles away from Xiaoying Town.

The remaining distance is enough for us to walk and arrive earlier than the agreed time.

Ye Zheng ordered Guo Dong to take a squad to Xiaoying Town to inquire about the situation, firstly to see whether Qin Ke had arrived on time, and secondly to choose a suitable place to set up camp.

If five thousand people want to station in this small town, they have to choose a location in advance. It will be chaotic and time-consuming to find a location after they arrive.

Guo Dong and his men drove a tracked vehicle to Xiaoying Town. Ye Zheng deliberately slowed down the pace and even rested for a while on the way.

After an hour and a half, the team was less than ten miles away from Xiaoying Town, and Guo Dong had not returned. Ye Zheng felt something was wrong.

Is there something wrong?

The round trip is only thirty miles. If we stay in the town for a while, we should be back in an hour, right?

Ye Zheng stopped the marching army and was about to send another team to investigate when he saw Guo Dong's tracked vehicle coming back from afar.

The car stopped not far in front of Ye Zheng. As soon as Guo Dong got out of the car, he ran to Ye Zheng in a hurry.

"It's bad! Qin Ke's team encountered the Snowflake Army in Xiaoying Town and the battle has been going on for more than an hour."

"Ah? What a coincidence?" Ye Zheng was a little surprised.

"Yes! Qin Ke led his troops into Xiaoying Town from south to north, and the Snowflake Army went from north to south. The two armies met right in the town."

If this is the case, the situation is clearly unfavorable to Qin Ke.

Among his ten thousand men, the real elite are the more than one thousand navy men, and the rest are basically ordinary people, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not good.

Originally I wanted to gain the upper hand with a surprise attack, but now I’m in a passive position.

Qin Ke's team would definitely not be able to defeat the Snowflake Army in a positional battle.

"Where are Qin Ke's people? Are there heavy casualties? How many people are there on Xuehua's side?" Ye Zheng asked with some concern.

“Qin Ke built a defense line on the south side of Xiaoying Town. He is fine.

The casualties were not heavy, and Xuehua seemed to be also surprised. Without knowing Qin Ke's situation, they dared not launch a large-scale attack.

I took a rough look at Xuehua's side, and there were at least 8,000 people."

Ye Zheng thought for a moment and felt that Qin Ke was in danger!

The fight had been going on for more than an hour, and Xuehua should have figured out Qin Ke's strength.

Even if they only had 5,000 people, if they were the secretly trained Snowflake Army, it would not be too difficult to defeat Qin Ke's 10,000 people.

"Quick! Move at full speed! Rush to the rescue of Xiaoying Town immediately!"

At Ye Zheng's command, the speed of the 5,000-strong army increased several times faster than before.

Fortunately, I had a short rest just now, otherwise I would be exhausted when I rushed over, which would affect my combat effectiveness.

Four or five miles away from Xiaoying Town, we could already vaguely hear gunshots.

After walking another three miles, the gunfire suddenly became more intense.

"It's bad! Snowflake is starting to attack!"

Ye Zheng took out the map and said, "Guo Dong, Han Yaoyao, the two of you lead a group and outflanking from the left!

Zhao Xiong, Yao Dazhuang, you lead the second regiment and encircle us from the right side.

"Direct reinforcement battalion, follow me and reinforce Qin Ke head-on! Action! Quick!"

On the way here, Ye Zheng had reorganized 5,000 people into a new team.

Ye Zheng has a total of 8,000 troops under his command, and their training is basically organized in battalions. There are ten battalions, and each battalion has about 600 people.

In addition, Ye Zheng carefully selected 1,500 people to form a reinforced battalion, which was directly under Ye Zheng's command.

This time, in addition to the direct reinforced battalion, there are six other battalions, totaling more than 5,000 people.

Ye Zheng merged the three battalions into one regiment. The first regiment was led by Guo Dong and Han Yaoyao, and the second regiment was led by Zhao Xiong and Yao Dazhuang.

The battalion commanders of each battalion are Ye Zheng’s old comrades-in-arms.

At Ye Zheng's command, five thousand people immediately began to act.

The reinforced battalion was the frontline support and was the closest. It only took a few minutes for them to see Qin Ke’s troops.

The reinforced battalion quickly entered the battle.

Under the guidance of the investigator, Ye Zheng quickly found Qin Ke's command center.

When Qin Ke saw Ye Zheng, he was both excited and annoyed.

"Damn it! I got caught in a trap! I even sent people to scout ahead of time.

We didn't find the Snowflake Army during the reconnaissance, but we encountered them as soon as we entered the town.

I was not prepared at all!

Fortunately, they were not prepared, otherwise we wouldn’t be here now!

Fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise we would be finished!

I owe you another big favor!"

Ye Zheng waved his hand, "It's too formal to say that!"

Ye Zheng had roughly figured out what was going on with what Qin Ke had described.

In fact, it is very simple. Both sides approached Xiaoying Town from opposite directions at almost the same time.

Both sides should have sent out reconnaissance teams, but their reconnaissance was not deep enough and no one discovered the enemy on the opposite side.

It wasn't until they met in a small town that they suddenly opened fire.

No matter how far ahead either side's reconnaissance team advanced, they would have been able to discover the other side, and the situation would have been different.

This cannot be blamed on Qin Ke. Ye Zheng is now thinking about this in hindsight. Even if he arrives, he may not be able to discover the other party in advance.

With the support of Ye Zheng's direct reinforced battalion, Xuehua's frontal attack was basically withstood.

"What should we do next? I'll hand over the command to you now!"

Qin Ke pulled Ye Zheng to the map.

Ye Zheng smiled faintly, "There is nothing to command, the victory and defeat have been decided! When the gunfire becomes more intense, you can just order everyone to charge forward!

Attacking from three sides, the Snowflake Army will inevitably be defeated!"

"Have you sent people to encircle them?" Qin Feng was overjoyed.

"Of course! If it wasn't so sudden and we didn't have time to make detailed deployments, we could have surrounded and killed them in Xiaoying Town.

We don't know the total number of people on the other side right now, so it would be too risky to surround them rashly.

Leave them a gap and keep as much as you can.

This is better for us.”

Qin Ke nodded in approval.

When we suddenly encountered each other in a small town, it was indeed difficult to find out the exact number of people on the other side.

The Snowflake Army would be thrown into chaos by the sudden attack from three sides. Even though they have a large number of people, they would retreat in panic through the only opening.

Then it would be much easier to beat the man when he is down, and it would also avoid unnecessary casualties.

On the premise of being cautious, you can also act according to circumstances and maximize your results.

Qin Ke looked at Ye Zheng with a little more admiration in his eyes.

While the two were talking, Guo Dong and Zhao Xiong had already begun the attack from both wings.

Gunshots rang out!

Qin Ke immediately issued an order, "Quick! Blow the charge horn! Everyone, charge! Anyone who dares to coward will be shot!"

The commander-in-chief of the Snowflake Army is Gao Yin.

Gao Yin was only concerned about Qin Ke's frontal troops at this moment. The two sides were suddenly attacked and chaos broke out in an instant.

When Gao Yin first encountered Qin Ke, he was a little panicked, but as the fight went on he realized that it was not the case.

Much weaker than he thought.

In the previous charge, Gao Yin was ready to take down Qin Ke's front in one fell swoop, but suddenly the firepower increased and the Snowflake Army was beaten back.

Gao Yin was wondering, "There are reserve troops? Reinforcements are impossible! Where can we get reinforcements for such a lousy team that was put together temporarily?"

He had known for a long time that there was a naval force in Su City led by Qin Ke.

He was a little surprised to see Qin Ke appear in Xiaoying Town, but he was not worried.

With the same number of 10,000 people, the Snowflake Army is definitely more powerful.

But he didn't expect that Ye Zheng was Qin Ke's reinforcements, and brought more than 5,000 people, who were more powerful than his men!

Gao Yin pondered while planning the next wave of attack, "We must take down Qin Ke this time!"

Suddenly, gunshots rang out! Gunshots were heard from all directions!

Gao Yin frowned, "What's going on?"

"Report! We've been attacked on both sides! The firepower is fierce, and the number of people is unknown! It looks like there are more than a thousand people!"

"Order them to hold on! This is their last struggle, they are already at the end of their rope!

If we hold on a little longer and charge again, we will be able to take down Qin Ke!"

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately turned around and went out.

Gao Yin heard the gunshots and sensed a hint of danger.

"No! This situation is different from before! Are there really reinforcements?"

"Report! We can't hold on any longer! Qin Ke's troops have launched a counterattack! Attacked from three sides, it's already... chaos!"

"what?"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Gao Yin's forehead.

Three-sided attack? Counterattack? Reinforcements must have arrived! Where did they get the reinforcements?

"Or... let's retreat?" Gao Yin's adjutant was already pale and sweat was pouring down his face.

Gao Yin glared at him fiercely, then pricked up his ears to listen to the gunshots for a while.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Retreat! Pass the order! Three regiments will cover the rear, and the rest of the regiments will take turns to cover the retreat!"

Gao Yin had good ideas, but the reality was very bleak.

The defeat was like a landslide, and the army's morale was in chaos, so how could they care about others?

When the situation is good, the order is still effective. But when the situation changes, it immediately becomes extremely chaotic.

Thousands of people dispersed in an instant like a retreating flood.

When Qin Ke and Ye Zheng's men saw this situation, they became even more courageous.

"Charge! Stop them!"

Yao Dazhuang, who was in charge of the right-side outflanking, looked at Zhao Xiong next to him and asked, "Should we block them in the town?"

Yao Dazhuang shook his head, "No! Don't block the way! Chase after him!"

Guo Dong, who was in charge of the flanking on the left, was now standing on a building, watching through a telescope.

After looking for a while, he narrowed his triangular eyes, smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it.

"What are you laughing at? Give me a cigarette too!" Han Yaoyao walked to Guo Dong's side and stretched out her white and big hand.

Guo Dong took out a cigarette and handed it over, "I think the Snow Flower Army is just a bunch of rubbish! Haha! If they don't panic, we will win, but we won't get much advantage.

If they mess up, they're done for.

They are awesome for being able to get out half of them alive!"

Han Yaoyao had never been involved in such a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people. While smoking a cigarette, she looked at Guo Dong with a blank face.

He doesn't quite understand.

However, the situation was just as Guo Dong expected.

In just half an hour, most of the Snowflake Army in Xiaoying Town were killed or surrendered, and only about 4,000 people retreated.

This is not the end yet, Zhao Xiong is still chasing after us.

They didn't chase very quickly, they would just catch up and fight for a while, then slow down.

After a short break, he caught up again and continued his attack.

This really annoyed Gao Yin.

He had just arranged people to defend against the enemy when the other side got quite angry.

Gao Yin didn't dare to wait any longer, for he was afraid that the army behind him would catch up and surround him. He didn't dare to counterattack, because that would be courting death.

You can continue to retreat, but they will immediately catch up and harass you.

Zhao Xiong led more than a thousand people behind, chasing and stopping, beating and grinning foolishly.

"I'm going to kill you!"

After chasing all the way to the outskirts of Yuncheng, Zhao Xiong led his team back to Xiaoying Town.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the encounter in Xiaoying Town was completely over.

The loss of Qin Ke's 10,000 men was not too great, with more than 1,000 killed, 1,200 seriously injured, and nearly 1,000 slightly injured.

Of Ye Zheng's 5,000 men, 200 were killed, more than 100 were seriously injured, and more than 300 were slightly injured.

Gao Yin's Snowflake Army suffered heavy losses, with more than 4,000 surrendering and about 3,000 killed.

Out of 10,000 people, only over 2,000 escaped back to Yuncheng.

In the evening, after Ye Zheng arranged the defense line, he sent out a dozen reconnaissance teams, and then he prepared to eat.

"Come on! Brother Ye, I'll toast you a glass!" Qin Ke picked up the glass and walked in front of Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng had not originally planned to drink, after all, he was on the battlefield.

Under Qin Ke's repeated requests, Ye Zheng had no choice but to agree, unable to refuse the kindness.

Come to think of it, there's nothing to worry about.

This encounter has completely routed Gao Yin's 10,000 troops, and they will not be able to form combat effectiveness for a while.

Xiaoying Town has a dangerous terrain. With the defense deployment in place, we are not afraid even if 20,000 people come.

Xuehua's 30,000 troops are only 20,000 at most. According to Dongfang Yunying's information, there are only 10,000 more in Yuncheng.

Not enough to be afraid of.

"Come on, cheers! Let's celebrate our great victory in our first head-on confrontation with the Snowflake Army!"

"cheers!"

In the restaurant, Qin Ke and his adjutant Ma Shuangxi, Ye Zheng and his four men, the seven of them raised their glasses and drank it all.

After putting down their wine glasses, everyone sat down.

"Brother Ye, drink without worry! I have arranged the defense, don't worry!"

"Hah!" Ye Zheng pondered it and found nothing wrong. There was indeed nothing to worry about.

"Today's harvest is not small! We seized 200 tons of food! We haven't had time to count the guns and ammunition yet, but there is more than enough to equip three regiments!

These wines were also seized! Two large carts!

There are also a lot of cotton-padded clothes and quilts! Hahaha..."

Qin Ke's face flushed after drinking. He had never been so happy in the past six months.

After the end of the world, in order to allow his brothers to survive and have food to eat, he took more than a thousand people to temporarily seek refuge in Xuehua, Sucheng. That period of time was extremely depressing.

Who can bear to see a regular army being treated like dogs by a group of extremists?

Later, they took advantage of the riot to drive away the Xuehua in Sucheng, but were faced with the desperate situation of food shortage.

After two days of starvation, he finally took his last breath and went to Haicheng to seek help from Ye Zheng.

I owe another big favor.

Qin Ke felt very depressed.

Although today's battle was won with the support of Ye Zheng, at least several thousand Snowflakes were wiped out, and most of the anger was finally relieved.

Qin Ke put down his wine glass and held Ye Zheng's hand, "Brother Ye! I have to keep all these spoils, guns, ammunition and food. I can't share them with you for the time being!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became a little tense.

Even Qin Ke's adjutant quietly pulled the corner of Qin Ke's clothes.

Guo Dong narrowed his triangular eyes and looked at Qin Ke with some hostility.

Zhao Xiong opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was held down by Yao Dazhuang.

Ye Zheng was very calm and just looked at Qin Ke calmly.

Qin Ke picked up another glass of wine and said, "I will be the main attacker in the battle against Yuncheng, so I have to keep these things!

But, my life will be yours from now on!

You say where to hit, I will hit there! You say how to hit, I will hit the way!

You have saved my life twice! I can never repay you for what I owe you!

I said before that after we capture Yuncheng, the spoils will be divided 30% and 70%.

Now I have changed my mind, it's all yours! My brothers and I will follow you, what do you think?"
