Chapter 64: Escalating Terror

In late September, the wind at night was gradually getting a little cold.

But the Qin soldiers patrolling did not feel cold because they had no time to pay attention to whether it was cold.

For them, under this night, there is a place that makes them feel colder than the autumn wind.

Since the Liang general who claimed to be Li He shouted "Shaoliang Rival", this title was quickly remembered by the 200,000 Qin troops. They finally knew the real name of the ghost soldier - Shaoliang Rival!

However, most Qin soldiers are still used to calling them ghost soldiers, because the other party is coming and going without a trace, which makes people unable to defend themselves.

"rustle……"

Under the quiet night, a Qin army patrol team held up torches, looked around and walked nervously.

The team leader who was at the forefront of the team simply carried the sword that was unsheathed, and his eyes kept scanning the left and right in front. As long as there was any movement, he stopped.

Then the Qin soldiers behind him would immediately act as if they were nervous.

Until the team leader was relieved.

Judging from their actions, it would be a bit like a soldier.

But there is no way, because no one of the Qin soldiers on patrol knew whether the group of young Liang soldiers were ambushed in the night nearby. So far, the example of frequent attacks on the Qin army patrol team is enough to prove that in terms of one-on-one battles, the Qin soldiers are not the opponent of the surprise soldiers at all. If they are not prepared, it often takes only a few breaths for the other party to kill them.

Therefore, no more patrolmen dared to take it lightly. They took three steps and were extremely nervous. Even if a mouse rushed past them, they could often scare them as if they were facing a great enemy.

This may sound funny, but it is not funny at all to Qin Zu, who is the person involved.

In fact, the Qin soldiers' vigilance was correct, because there were indeed Shao Liang's soldiers lurking under this night.

For example, the Qin army mentioned earlier is actually a team of surprise soldiers lurking only twenty or thirty steps away from them.

This group of surprise soldiers was led by the hundred generals Hou Yun, with a number of thirty people. At this moment, the thirty surprise soldiers were lying on the ground, holding a crossbow in their left hand, and secretly aiming at the team of Qin soldiers who were slowly coming towards them.

Even Hou Yun, who was injured in his right arm, aimed at the Qin army's team with a crossbow and muttered in a low voice that he could only hear: "Get closer... Yes, yes, very good..."

Suddenly, the Qin army opposite seemed to have noticed the crisis, raised his hand and shouted again: "Stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qin soldiers behind him quickly raised their long spears and formed a circle of weapons towards the periphery. The rapid reaction was amazing.

However, it is of no use.

Two whistles, the Qin army led an arrow to the right eye, one arrow shot into the cheek, one arrow hit the chest, and one arrow hit the ground without saying a word.

This seems to be a signal.

Almost the moment the team leader fell to the ground, twenty-eight sharp arrows shot out again under the night, hitting fourteen Qin soldiers.

In an instant, the fourteen Qin soldiers fell to the ground and died.

"Attack! Someone attacked!"

The remaining Qin army was frightened and shouted in a scathing voice.

Hou Yun and the thirty surprise soldiers calmly loaded crossbow arrows, but launched the second round of shooting at the group of Qin soldiers who were standing foolishly.

Whoosh swish swish swish-

There was a burst of noise, and fourteen more Qin soldiers fell to the ground.

The only remaining Qin soldiers finally reacted this time and turned around and ran away.

"This is really a hunting..."

Looking at the group of Qin soldiers who turned their heads and fled, Hou Yuncai walked out of the ambush with his surprise soldiers, looked at the crossbow in his hand, and praised him.

Compared with yesterday's hard work to kill Qin soldiers, today's ambush was simply easy. He pulled the trigger twice and killed twenty-eight Qin soldiers. Hunting in the mountains was not so easy.

Some people may ask, isn’t the surprise soldier not receiving shooting training, so why is it so accurate?

The reason is very simple. First, Li He asked the Mo to change the crossbow tool and added a sighting sighting sighting star to the ordinary crossbow. Second, Li He also taught the surprise soldiers relevant experience.

For example, aiming skills are similar to three points and one line, and for example, two people are responsible for a Qin soldiers. Even if one person misses the shooting, another person can kill the enemy.

This advanced experience and skill allows the surprise soldiers to effectively shoot and kill Qin soldiers even if they pick up crossbow tools for the first time.

Of course, the main reason is that they are very close to each other. At a distance of more than twenty steps, the surprise soldiers can almost kill them. It is just a little harder to work, and it is far less easy to use a crossbow.

"Go and see if there is any survivor, and add a sword."

"yes!"

Under Hou Yun's casual order, thirty surprise soldiers walked to the Qin soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows, and added one by one to confirm their death, and then touched on what valuable things could be taken away.

Theoretically, the harvest on the battlefield belongs to the soldiers, this is the case with the Qin army and the surprise soldiers.

But the problem is that it is easier for surprise soldiers to kill people, and often cannot take away all the seizures, so sometimes you have to make choices.

At present, the most scarce thing in Dongliang is the materials for making crossbow strings, followed by armor and weapons, which are just enough to supplement some from the Qin army.

Although the individual load-bearing of the surprise soldiers is limited, it is also good to have one more set.

"Actually, we can give a suggestion to the Five Hundred Generals, and organize a group of people to help us transport these seizures. We will kill them in front, and those people will be picked up in the back..."

"This is a good thing to pay attention to. Hou Baijiang, you can give me some advice when you look back."

It was clearly the periphery of the 200,000 Qin army's garrison, but these 30 surprise soldiers were not afraid at all. While searching and seizing, they chatted with each other and gave Hou Yun an idea. Who made the Hou Bairen general hit the right arm by the Qin army's arrows yesterday and became the only wounded general.

"Well, this is a good idea."

Hou Yun nodded, and he also thought this idea was good.

At this time, other Qin army patrol teams that had been alarmed in the distance were quickly rushing to this side.

But none of Hou Yun and the thirty surprise soldiers panicked. They stripped off the armor from the Qin soldiers' bodies, picked up weapons, and even recovered the crossbow arrows that were shot out. Then they quickly retreated and disappeared under the night again.

When the Qin army patrol arrived in the distance, there were only twenty-eight Qin soldiers who had their armor stripped off.

"Damn it! Hateful!"

"This group of ghosts..."

The Qin army patrol teams who arrived one after another led the men to curse and chased each other in one direction.

Unfortunately, they are destined to gain nothing. Not to mention that their journey cannot catch up with the surprise soldiers, they may be ambushed by the surprise soldiers in turn.

Similar scenes are happening tonight one scene after another.

Around the third hour of Xu, a Qin soldiers reported the matter to Qin general Miao Lin, and also presented a crossbow arrow that was left behind by a surprise soldier.

Miao Lin looked at the crossbow arrow in her hand and sighed secretly.

Today, during the day, he was responsible for supervising the soldiers to build siege equipment. When he was free, he thought, with the skills of the Shaoliang ghost soldier, wouldn't it be even more sharp if he had equipped a few crossbows?

The result was good. That night, the group of ghost soldiers changed their equipment and each had a crossbow.

Now, the cautious attitude of the Qin army to take one step and three steps has made them the targets of this group of ghost soldiers. Less than two hours after the night, the casualties reported by the Qin army were already catching up with last night, reaching more than 300 people.

"It's not a solution to continue like this..."

He murmured softly and turned to look at the soldiers on duty around him.

These soldiers heard them talking about the ghost soldiers, and turned around and saw that Miao Lin could clearly see the fear in the eyes of these people.

A team of more than 200 people actually made his soldiers in the 200,000 Qin army frightened. Putting aside other things, he really admired these Shaoliang people.

Especially the courage of Shaoliang people.

Yesterday, the more than 200 ghost soldiers attacked his tent of 200,000 Qin troops, which almost all of them knew the courage of the Shaoliang people.

Still have backbone.

That's right, what Miao Lin thought of was the bold statement that Li He put down before he fled last night. Although Ying Qian repeatedly banned the soldiers from talking about last night, Li He's bold statement last night was still spread among the 200,000 Qin troops.

Some Qin soldiers sneered at this, while others were so scared that they were silent and dared not speak.

Even Miao Lin could not be relieved after hearing that.

In the end, he was inspired by the fact that the bravery of Shaoliang people was no less than that of the Qin people, and he deserved to be of the same clan and origin as his Qin people.

After a stick of incense, Miao Lin brought this crossbow arrow to the handsome tent on the East Loess Plateau.

Compared with yesterday, the defense on the eastern loess plateau became increasingly strict. Not to mention that the east slope of Linhe was covered with Qin soldiers on duty, even the southern slope was heavily guarded. Under Ying Qian's order, nearly 10,000 Qin soldiers guarded the entire loess plateau as solid as a soup, and even a mouse might not be able to get in.

What made him so nervous about the Qin army was actually just one or two hundred enemy troops...

"Chief Coach, General Miao Lin is asking for a meeting."

"Let him in."

"Yes!...Please, General."

Nodded to the guard outside the commander's tent, Miao Lin strode into it, and saw Ying Qian sitting in the seat wearing a coat and holding his cheek with his hands on his face. He bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Shishou Qian, according to the soldiers, the ghost soldiers who attacked our army tonight..."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a crossbow arrow on the desk in front of Ying Qian, which seemed exactly the same as the one in his hand. Obviously, someone had reported the matter before him.

Sure enough, after Miao Lin stopped the sound, Ying Qian nodded and said, "I know this..."

There was a little helplessness in his tone, and there was no following. Just one sentence, Miao Lin didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Fortunately, Ying Qian then asked again: "How many are there injures...?"

Miao Lin hugged her fists and said respectfully: "According to the soldiers' rewards, more than 300 people have been shot and killed by ghost soldiers, and few injured...

Ying Qian heard some clues and frowned and asked, "Are you talking about those ghosts... who kill people if they put off crossbows, and they have almost no living habits?"

"yes."

"..." Ying Qian stroked his beard, and he was rarely angry, showing a deep thought.

Although he was so angry that he gritted his teeth at the surprise soldier, he was not blind. How could he not see the power of this elite force?

A mere 100 or 200 people made him 200,000 Qin troops very annoyed, and even Wei Wushou could not do it.

He was really puzzled. As a small subordinate country of Wei, Shaoliang trained such an elite force in this way?

Or, who trained this elite?

King Xie of Dongliang? Zhai Hu?

still……

The Liang general named Li He appeared in Ying Qian's mind again.
