Chapter 24 Pretending to be like the wind

As five hundred Shushan guards wearing armor rushed into the battlefield, the scene suddenly became cold. Wang Li stood aside and could feel the cold air exhaled from the captain's nose.

"Captain Sheng Yong, the other party is not well-known, and the number of people is at least 800."

Sheng Yong nodded, "It seems that we have met the opponent's main force. If one is not good, we all will probably leave here."

Sheng Yong pulled out the long sword of the ring head around his waist. This standard long sword that flowed out from the workshop northwest of Ying Ziyi has become the most popular standard sword for the officers of the Qin Dynasty.

He raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it forward. The slender sword emitted a cold light, just like the devouring luster in Sheng Yong's eyes at this moment.

"Brothers, we have encountered tough problems. If someone survives this time, don't forget to take care of other brothers' families." Sheng Yong shouted loudly and said enthusiastically.

"Drink! Drink! Drink!"

If it were an ordinary team, after hearing Sheng Yong's words, they would probably throw the weapons in their hands forward and surrender, but the morale of this team was getting higher and higher.

In Wang Li's opinion, Sheng Yong was undoubtedly a rough man, but this rough man could win the hearts and trust of the soldiers.

Sheng Yong turned his head and whispered to Wang Li: "I will command the team to open a hole in the local encirclement later, and you can take the opportunity to escape."

"The soldiers are all here, and I, a Sima, can I escape?" Wang Li said stubbornly.

"You guys, you have to leave if you don't want to leave later. This is an order." Sheng Yong said viciously.

"You guy who is ungrateful, you are also talking about military law to me." Wang Li said disdainfully. Looking at Wang Li's current appearance, it is completely a copy of Sheng Yong just now.

The war on the front line was getting more and more tense, and dozens of Shushan guards had approached the Qin army's shield formation. Sheng Yong had no energy to take care of Wang Li anymore. He snorted loudly and said angrily: "It's up to you."

The spear of the guards of Shushan is sharp and thin, and the long spear body is made of green bamboo from the mountains, which is slender and flexible. Even the long spear in the hands of Qin soldiers cannot cut off the spear. On the tip of the spear, purple-black iron spots shine, which seems to have been poisoned.

Such weapons are very annoying, because as long as they are slightly cut, the soldiers of the Qin army will immediately lose their combat effectiveness.

The Qin army has few soldiers, so if they continue to fight according to this style of battle, it will be a matter of time before failure.

"Shoot!" Sheng Yong commanded more than 30 crossbowmen in front of him and fired a volley towards a place with greater pressure in front, instantly blocking the enemy's offensive.

Their military crossbows were extremely powerful, but they could not withstand the opponent's tide attack. Twenty steps away, the number of more than a hundred shield-holding infantrymen gradually decreased, many of them were all in chaos, drowned in the spears of the guards of Shushan, and many of them never got up again.

"It's time to retreat." Sheng Yong murmured. Only Wang Li next to him could hear it.

The two centurions under Sheng Yong had all been on the front line to fight. Those who could become centurions in the Qin army were warriors who could not defeat a hundred people. But even so, the situation in the valley could not be changed.

If the shield soldiers in front were all broken, then the crossbow soldiers in the rear and a group of baggage soldiers holding short blades could not resist the opponent's attack at all.

Seeing that he was gradually losing, Sheng Yong thought of retreating.

But where should we retreat?

The number of opponents was at least four or five times that of their own, and they were all combatants, and there was no burden of baggage troops like the Qin army.

On the battlefield, the sound of swords and spears was terrifyingly conscious of a weak place in the enemy's army. It was just a tiny flaw, fleeting in a flash.

"Over there." As Sheng Yong pointed at the long sword, more than 30 crossbowmen turned around and fired several rounds of volleys. Then, Sheng Yong personally rushed to the left with several guards beside him.

"Walk!"

Behind Sheng Yong, Wang Li, a hundred baggage soldiers and more than 30 crossbowmen rushed out in an orderly manner. The shield soldiers on the slanted side also began to change directions. While resisting the guards of Shushan, they slowly moved closer to Sheng Yong's direction.

"Sir, the Qin army is about to break out of our encirclement." While his subordinates reported, Yu Ziqi could clearly see that a hundred steps away, the brave Qin army leader led his subordinates to break out of his own line. The Qin army's shield soldiers were behind the formation, while their crossbow soldiers shot at their own people from time to time, gradually retreating outside the encirclement net.

"Have you finally taken the bait?" Yu Ziqi sneered. The Qin army was rigorous in the array and the soldiers were well trained. If he continued to attack, he could certainly defeat the Qin army, but the cost of his own losses was also relatively high.

In this battle, Shushan had a great advantage. However, compared with the Qin army that invaded Shushan this time, Yu Ziqi thought that he could not have any advantage on his side, at least in terms of the number of people.

Minimize losses, preserve strength, and at the same time try to consume the enemy's strength to improve the quality of the soldiers on his side during the battle. This is what Yu Ziqi thought at this moment.

"There is Luogu in front of us. The mountain road is narrow and the terrain is complicated. The Qin army is not familiar with the terrain. When we walk the path, we will definitely be able to surround them before they enter Luogu. At that time, the Qin army will have no power to turn over."

"yes!"

"The people in Shushan are very strange." Sheng Yong said while walking on the mountain road.

"They didn't catch up, what was the idea of ​​fighting?" Wang Li said.

The sun had already submerged under the horizon, and darkness fell on the earth again. Wang Li looked at the tired soldiers around him and suddenly felt a sense of desolation in his heart.

"The mountain roads here are hard to walk, and there are many forks. Even if the people from Shushan rushed to us next moment, there was nothing strange about it." Sheng Yong said, helping a wounded soldier walk up a steep slope.

"We have not carried many antidote herbs, and they can't withstand long-term consumption. Does Brother Sheng have a way to get out?" Unconsciously, Wang Li's name for Sheng Yong had changed.

"What's the solution? The Falcon and three scouts who were asking for help have been sent out long ago. I don't know if our reinforcements can come here in time!" Sheng Yong sighed slightly and said

The road ahead is difficult to understand, and the team on his side is already in trouble again. I don’t know when, hidden arrows will be shot.

In such an environment, it is a great test for the soldiers' psychology and physiology.

It was Sheng Yong himself, and he felt like he was holding a breath in his heart, which was rare to stretch. Sheng Yong suppressed the irritability in his heart. The more dangerous the situation was, the more an excellent general could control his temper.

"Let's go! Whether you can escape this time depends on God's will."

......

Unfortunately, Sheng Yong and others did not seem to have a very good luck.

Hundreds of Qin soldiers walked in the mountains all night. In the early morning, before entering the valley, they met the troops from Shushan again.

Luogu is a narrow valley road with the rock walls on both sides not very high. Mountain people who are good at climbing can even walk back and forth on it with bare hands. Before Luogu, there was a gentle slope with several small paths connecting here. The people from Shushan took advantage of the Qin army entering Luogu and rushed out of the small path and surrounded them.

Nearly a hundred Qin army's shield soldiers surrounded the front of the array, with baggage soldiers behind them, and crossbow soldiers behind the baggage soldiers. Hundreds of people formed a circular formation.

Sheng Yong and Wang Li stood at the core of the formation. The people from Shushan had not yet attacked for a while. I wonder what the opponent's leader was trying to do?

Yu Ziqi looked at the Qin army in front of him and was surprised.

Is this the Emperor* team that annexed the world? The hundreds of people in front of him are obviously a microcosm of this huge army, but their actions have greatly exceeded Yu Ziqi's expectations.

After a big battle, I walked on the cold and rugged mountain road for a night. Until now, there is still a sense of fighting on the Qin army's face.

Yu Ziqi began reading military books since he was a child and knew the importance of morale on the battlefield to an army.

Therefore, to eliminate the enemy, the first thing to do is to weaken the morale of the enemy.

Yu Ziqi deliberately released the Qin army on the battlefield yesterday to allow them to gradually lose their morale in the mountains with harsh environments.

But the Qin army's strength was far beyond his expectations. He would forget it! The fierce fighting spirit on the faces of the imperial soldiers was definitely not disguised. Even if they were sure to win, Yu Ziqi still felt a chill in his heart.

If the Qin army that came to attack Shushan was like the Qin army soldiers in front of us, then is there any possibility that Shushan would be retained?

On the battlefield, in the circular array of Qin troops, Sheng Yong raised his head's sword in his waist, pointed it at the direction of the valley entrance, and laughed: "Fortunately, it's not a Jedi yet, and there is still a glimmer of hope. Get out of here."

Yu Ziqi saw Sheng Yong's actions. It turned out that the Qin army array, which was still a round, began to change formations. A gap appeared in the tight round center, turning into two semicircles. Sheng Yong held the long sword and walked out of the Qin army's array. Behind him were more than a dozen strong warriors, including two centurions of the Qin army, mostly sergeant commanders, and other officers.

"Can you do it?" Yu Ziqi smiled and placed two hundred guards from Shushan at the entrance of the valley, almost the same as the total force of the Qin army now.

The cold wind blew out of the valley, Sheng Yong roared and said to the officer who followed him behind him.

"As generals of the Qin Dynasty, we should open the way for the army and leave a trace of life for our soldiers. Are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid that his grandmother is a bear. Sheng Yong, what article do you write like, are you the damn piece of material? Do you do it for them."

A centurion behind Sheng Yong suddenly shouted and cursed.

Hearing his subordinates scolding, Sheng Yong laughed instead of anger and said, "You said it well, do your best."

"Fuck them!"

Although these Qin army officers who were born in peasants were vulgar, the surging passion made the people of Shushan frightened.
