Volume 1 Battle in the Sand Garden Chapter 12 Three Tigers Conquer the Enemy
After the hillock, the big tiger was furious and kicked the strong man in the jaw.
"Damn you." Dahu scolded his mother angrily. The prisoner was under his care, and now something went wrong, all because of Dahu's negligence. The strong man rolled his eyes and fainted immediately. However, that whistle had already caused a stir.
With serious consequences, they watched the cavalry rush onto the hillock. Each cavalryman held a crossbow in his hand.
"Guard them." Fat Tiger shouted and rushed towards the mound, and a stone flew out of his hand.
There was a "bang" sound, and the leader who rushed forward was hit on the forehead by a stone. His body tilted and he fell off the horse involuntarily. Qin Chong had already stood up, kicked off his feet violently, made a fish leap, and reached out to fish.
, was grabbing the crossbow dropped by the leader, without even taking aim, he just threw away his hand and shot out an arrow.
Another knight fell, and the cavalry formation was instantly confused.
Qin Chong dwarfed and dodged another arrow. He took advantage of the situation and swept out with one leg. He heard a click, and one of the horse's legs was broken by the kick. The war horse neighed in pain and fell with a thud. The knight on the horse did not have time to jump down, and followed the horse's pounce.
Unfortunately, before he could stand up, a flying stone whizzed towards his head, hitting him right in the head.
At this time, Fat Tiger had already rushed forward, shouted loudly, and slammed into the war horse.
"Bang." The man and the horse rolled down the hillside.
The leader of the cavalry misjudged the situation and launched an attack on the hillock. Unexpectedly, he was violently routed in the blink of an eye. Four of the five cavalrymen fell off their horses, leaving only one cavalryman. He was so stunned that he could not recover and actually forgot to urge his horse. The cavalryman
Once it loses its speed, in the eyes of the infantry, it is just a target.
Sure enough, the silly goose was targeted by the big tiger. He raised his hand and shot an arrow. With a "swish" sound, it hit the cavalryman in the hair. He was so frightened that he sat on the horse obediently and did not dare to move.
A battle started abruptly and ended within a dozen breaths.
The entire army of the party that launched the attack was wiped out.
This result was unexpected not only for the leader of the cavalry, but also for Qin Zhong. Looking at the murderous spirit, how could he be so vulnerable? Looking at the fallen cavalry around him, Qin Zhong couldn't believe it. Just like two people fighting, he
We had just warmed up here and were preparing for a fight, but unexpectedly the opponent fell down.
"What kind of fucking cavalry is this?" Qin Zhong curled his lips and complained, "Is it just that the horse looks good on you?"
In Qin Chong's view, this team of cavalry is just a living thing. At first glance, they are skillful in controlling the horses and they are all majestic. When it comes to defending against the enemy, they actually look like idiots. The enemy's situation on the hill is unknown, so he
He dared to attack rashly; once he did, he had no plan and rushed forward like a swarm of swarms.
Weapons like military crossbows are very powerful, but they only have the power of one arrow. Whether it is cavalry or infantry combat, the role of military crossbows is extremely limited. Because after one arrow, the enemy is already in front of you. You must install arrows on the battlefield.
That's just looking for death. Therefore, military crossbows are generally equipped with scouts and can attack at close range.
Therefore, the leader missed the target with one arrow and had no more support to rely on. He was immediately attacked by Fat Tiger.
The leader was knocked unconscious and fell off his horse, leaving the cavalry without a leader. Instead, Qin Zhong and Fat Hu seized the opportunity and struck with a thunderous blow, instantly turning the situation around. A command error and poor combat effectiveness were Qin Zhong's evaluation. If on the battlefield,
The actions of this team of cavalry will bring fatal harm to the entire team, or even catastrophe.
In fact, Qin Zhong didn't know that this cavalry was already the elite of the border army. The reason why they collapsed at the first touch was not that they were too weak, but that Qin Zhong and his men were too strong. In addition, the leader was careless and underestimated the enemy, so it is not surprising that the entire army was wiped out.
"What to do with these people?" Fat Hu asked.
"Knock them all unconscious and tie them up," Qin Zhong said angrily.
Fat Tiger didn't care about anything, and when he saw someone who was not fainted, he would go up and kick him. After a while, there was only one person sitting on the horse dejectedly, neither daring to run nor dismount. He had already caught a glimpse of it, not far away.
There, an arrow was aimed at him. He knew very well that the arrow that hit the bun was not a bad arrow but a good one.
If he dared to move a little, he might be hit by an arrow in the throat.
"What a pity." Fat Tiger gathered his war horses, but one of them was crippled and his leg was broken by Qin Zhong's kick.
"Come down." Qin Zhong ignored Fat Hu and pointed at the soldiers on horseback.
When the soldiers heard about the amnesty, they rolled off their horses with a plop. After struggling for a long time, they did not stand up. It was not that they didn't want to stand up, but their legs were too weak to live up to expectations. They lay on the ground and looked at Qin Chong pitifully. He wanted to spare his life, but
The children in front of him made him unable to open his mouth, and his face turned red and white.
"Who are you?" Qin Zhong asked.
"Wei Weizhou." The soldier swallowed hard, his voice dry and stammering.
"Weizhou?" Qin Chong raised his head, thinking about the location of Weizhou. "What are you doing here?"
"I don't know." The soldier also knew that this answer would not satisfy Qin Zhong, so he quickly said, "I really don't know why I came here. I came after Liu Zihao." After saying that, he looked at Qin Zhong eagerly.
"Why are you chasing Liu Zihao?" Qin Chong's heart moved and he continued to ask.
"I don't know either." The soldier looked aggrieved, glanced at Qin Zhong, and quickly lowered his head.
"Then you're of no use." Qin Zhong was so angry that he couldn't answer questions.
"No." The soldier jumped up suddenly, with a look of shock on his face. "I'm useful, I'm useful."
At this moment, Qin Zhong was about to take action when he suddenly understood. The soldiers were not about to rise up, but were frightened by his words. Perhaps in his understanding, only by being useful can one survive. At this moment, Qin Zhong took a serious look.
Ichiban was a soldier in his twenties, with dark skin and large joints in his hands.
"Have you ever killed anyone?" Suddenly, Qin Zhong asked gloomily.
"No, no." The soldier felt his throat was dry and itchy, and swallowed unconsciously.
"Do you know that person?" Qin Chong pointed behind him. There was another person tied there. He was the strong man whom he had captured earlier. Just then he let out a whistle and was kicked unconscious by the big tiger, but he still hadn't woken up.
The soldier took one look, nodded dully, and said, "That's our military envoy."
"Oh?" Qin Zhong really didn't expect this.
"What about this one?" Qin Chong pointed at the unconscious leader and asked.
"We are the corps commander," the soldier said.
So, Qin Zhong finally figured it out. This group of soldiers, led by the military envoy Chang Kun, followed Liu Zihao all the way from Weizhou to Shayuan Prison. They were cavalry and carried weapons, so they did not dare to attack.
He broke into Shayuan Prison with a loud voice, and Chang Kun sneaked in to follow and check, while the rest of them stayed at the ferry.
After waiting for four or five days, Chang Kun never returned. The team leader was worried that something had happened, so he led the crowd to search for him. What a coincidence. As soon as he reached the hillock, he unexpectedly heard Chang Kun's whistle.
"Let's go." Qin Chong had already finished asking. When he turned around, he was stunned. "Go to the military camp."
But under the mound, they saw four unconscious soldiers who had been stripped clean by Fat Tiger. Their clothes were torn into strips, and the four white bodies were tied one by one into four horses.
, one on each side. Qin Zhong suddenly discovered that Fat Hu had a special liking for four horses with their hooves stacked up. Was this because he was tying up too many sheep?
"Fat Tiger, you're a piece of shit." When Dahu saw it, he immediately went into a rage. "There's a girl here."
"It's okay, we're covering them with cloth." Fat Tiger didn't care. The weapons seized included not only crossbows, but also long knives. Unfortunately, during the battle, they didn't even have a chance to draw out the long knives. Now, they all belong to Fat Tiger.
The spoils of war. Thread the weapons in a string three times, throw them behind your back, and walk away with a clank.
The only soldier who survived looked at his comrades being stripped naked, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
"Go and fetch the horse." The tiger kicked him, and the soldiers hurriedly ran to fetch the horse.
Qin Zhong ignored these two people, picked up Xiao Nizi and put him on the horse. With a little effort, he turned over and sat on it. With his legs clamped, the horse rushed forward. Without much effort, he was already
There was no trace.
After this delay, the last sunset glow on the horizon has also put away its color. The sky is gradually getting darker, and stars are twinkling on the dark black and blue curtain. The evening breeze in May is as gentle as water, refreshing and pleasant, drifting with the wind.
There was also a strong fragrance of green grass coming over. Occasionally, the sound of a horse neighing came from far away.
The world between heaven and earth suddenly became silent. The galloping horses were as light as the wind.
"Brother Qin Chong, it's all my fault today." Xiao Nizi in her arms suddenly said.
"I don't blame you." Qin Zhong leaned over slightly and responded.
"Really?" Xiao Nizi turned her head in confusion and raised her face.
"Really." Qin Zhong leaned back and nodded.
"Then -" Xiao Nizi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can I go back home?"
"Do you want to go back to get something?" Qin Zhong asked.
"Yeah." Xiao Nizi bit her lip and said, "My father left me a jade pendant, but I don't know where he threw it. That piece of jade is very important and must not be thrown away." As she said this, she almost cried.
"Jade pendant?" Qin Zhong was stunned for a moment, and quickly took it out in his arms. Dahu once picked up a piece of jade. The jade was crystal clear, and he knew it was not a common object at a glance. He originally thought it was lost by Liu Zihao or Yao Gang, so he kept it in Qin's house.
Focus here. If Xiao Nizi hadn't mentioned it at this moment, he would have almost forgotten this piece of jade.
"But this piece of jade?" Qin Zhong held up the jade pendant and waved it in front of Xiao Nizi's eyes.
"Yeah." Xiao Nizi shouted happily, hugged the jade pendant, and opened her eyes. "Brother Qin Zhong, where did you find it? It's so good, it's so good." Xiao Nizi cried with joy.
"Is this piece of jade important?" Qin Zhong asked with a smile, seeing Xiao Nizi's surprised look.
"Yes." Xiao Nizi held the jade pendant with both hands and hugged it tightly in her arms. When she heard Qin Zhong's question, her eyes couldn't help but dim, "This is the only relic left by my father to me."
"Relics?" Qin Chong was confused for a moment. The Cui family and his wife were not dead. How do you say relics?
"My biological father passed away three years ago. My parents from the Cui family were kind enough to adopt me."
So that's it. Qin Zhong nodded silently and patted Xiao Nizi lightly on the shoulder. The thin shoulders trembled obviously, as if they couldn't bear the cold night wind. Qin Zhong did not open his mouth to comfort him, who had lost his mother.
He knew very well the pain of losing a parent at a young age. Apart from silently licking the pain, any comfort was pale.
"Thank you, brother Qin Chong." Xiao Nizi said quietly.
"You've already called me brother, why are you saying thank you?" Qin Chong chuckled.
"If my brother from the Cui family were here, he would definitely say that etiquette cannot be discarded." Xiao Nizi smiled and suddenly remembered that her brother from the Cui family had passed away and died tragically in front of her. Her expression suddenly froze and she lowered her head. Go. Tears streaked across the cheeks and flowed into the corners of the mouth, cold, bitter and suffocating.
Qin Chong sighed slightly in his heart, and couldn't help but hugged Xiao Nizi, and held her tightly in his arms. He lightly tapped the horse's belly with his heels, and sped up again. In the night, the horse was like a stream of light, moving forward briskly. Qin Zhong didn't notice that at this moment, Xiao Nizi's face seemed to be red, she was biting her lips, and her body was stiff.
After Xiao Nizi was sent back to the Qin Mansion and given to Qin Muyao to settle down, Qin Chong returned to the military camp without stopping. Dahu and the others escorted the captives on horseback, so naturally they couldn't walk fast on the road, and they haven't come back until now.
Qin Chong entered the military camp. He was familiar with the roads and there was no one to stop him. Soon, he found the old ghost in the dungeon.
The dungeon is dark and damp, with a musty smell. The dungeon is not small, with seven or eight cells. The thick logs are made of fences, separated by gaps the size of fists. There are torches on both sides, burning grease. There was a sizzling sound. By the light of the fire, Qin Zhong glanced around and saw that there were prisoners in every cell.
There has been a lot of trouble recently, and the Xiaoqi camp has arrested a lot of people. They are temporarily detained here, waiting for orders from their superiors.
The torture chamber is at the end of the dungeon, with an oil lamp lit. The dim light flickers, bright and dark, making it even more eerie. The execution rack is covered with dark blood stains, as if it is coated with a layer of grease. This is because it has been repeated over and over again. The blood seeped into the wood layer by layer. The old blood stains turned black, and new blood stains covered the old ones. Over the years, the execution frame had long lost its original color, leaving only a sinister black and red color.
There was no one on the execution rack.
The old ghost was lying on a bench with his arms stretched out, sleeping soundly.
