Chapter 1083: Success in the East and Success in the West (Seventy-Six)

The shouts of killing in the distance shook the sky, and the blazing fire turned half of the sky red, but Qin Lei was still struggling in his heart. Maybe it was reinforcements, or maybe it was a trap by his opponent. The two possibilities, but they were two endings: heaven or hell.

"Commander, what should we do now?" the guard asked anxiously.

"There is nothing to hesitate, attack!" A voice came from behind Qin Lei. Qin Lei turned around and saw that it was Lu Ting, the magistrate of Hecheng County. This magistrate was so thin that he was just skin and bones. It was like being blown over by a gust of wind. Under the firelight, his pale face was even more frightening. "Commander Qin, there is a fifty percent chance, why don't you give it a try? We have no more choices. Instead of staying in the city, If we are trapped alive, it is better to go out and give it a try. If it is our reinforcements, if we lose the opportunity because we did not respond, we will regret it for the rest of our lives."

"What if it's a trap?" Qin Lei took a deep breath.

Lu Ting smiled and said, "Take all the soldiers who can fight and go out. If it's a trap, just run away as much as you can."

"and you?"

"I'm a scholar, and now I'm in this situation. Don't even let me run, even if I just walk a few steps, I feel so happy. You don't have to worry about me. In short, I won't fall into their hands. Go quickly, Although I don’t know anything about military affairs, I also know that every opportunity is fleeting. Whether it’s heaven or hell, you have to go there first to know.” Lu Ting said loudly.

"Okay! I'm going then, Magistrate Lu, take care of yourself." Qin Lei raised the sword beside him and shouted sternly at the soldiers: "Blow the rally call, everyone who can move, take your swords and guns and fight with me." "

The city gate of Hecheng, which had been closed for half a year, opened with a squeaking sound. Qin Lei took long strides and ran at the front of the team. He and his soldiers originally had horses. , but later, these war horses have become food in the stomachs of the soldiers.

"Run, run, if you can't outrun me, an old man who is almost sixty years old, don't be ashamed!" Qin Lei dragged the knife and shouted loudly as he ran.

These soldiers, who had been trapped for almost half a year, were either too depressed or suddenly saw hope in a desperate situation. They screamed one by one, with the wind at their feet, and ran towards the place where the fire broke out in the distance.

It was getting closer, it was getting closer, and the anxiety in Qin Lei's heart became more serious. Life or death would soon be known.

I saw it, I saw it, Qin Lei's eyes suddenly brightened, this was not a trap, this was real reinforcements. He saw the Han Dynasty Yellow Dragon Flag fluttering in the wind, saw the Han Dynasty battle flag as red as blood, and saw a War horses were crisscrossing back and forth in Zhao's camp, trampling over tents and knocking enemies away. Torches were picked up by knights on horseback and fell on the tents, causing blazing flames and the whizzing of arrows in the air. The sound is endless.

Qin Lei saw the big characters GU on the bright red battle flag, but his heart was at a loss. Among the famous generals of the Han Dynasty, when did a surname named Gu appear?

Some distance further, he saw another Han battle flag, with a huge leaf embroidered on it. The Qin and Han Dynasties suddenly seemed to have received a reassurance. In the Eastern Field Army, there was only one general with the surname Ye. He is Ye Feng, the biological brother of the current princess Ye Jing'er.

"Kill!" Qin Lei knew it all, raised his sword high, and rushed into the Zhao army's camp like a lion.

Guli Lema stood on a high ground in the camp, his sharp eyes calmly observing the battle situation through the mask. With the addition of Qin Lei, a group of more than 2,000 infantrymen, the situation became even more one-sided. .

"Round the sheep!" A somewhat dull voice came from under the mask.

The sound of the bugle sounded, and the cavalry that was going straight began to change their formations. They circled around and drove the panicked Zhao Jun towards the center of the camp. Every time they were driven away, accompanied by the sound of bowstrings, Zhao Jun became a success. The platoon fell.

"Boring!" The slightly bored voice under the mask made the guards around Gu Li a little stunned. It turned out that the commander-in-chief didn't pay attention to such an intense war at all.

Gu Li really did not take the war to heart. At this level, the outcome was basically doomed. The destruction of the entire Zhao army was a foregone conclusion. Compared with the battle with the Qin army on the prairie in the first half of the year, the Zhao army in front of him was The army is not on the same level at all.

Gu Li led 5,000 cavalry to He Lanxiong's camp half a month ago. Regarding Qin Lei, who had been holding on to Hecheng, the supreme leader of the Han Kingdom, Han Wang Gaoyuan, had a very clear attitude. He must ensure the safety of Hecheng and ensure the safety of Qin Lei. Lei's safety forced He Lanxiong to send reinforcements, but now the entire Dai County is under the control of Zhao Jun. If they fight all the way, it will take time. Hecheng, which has persisted for nearly half a year, may not be able to survive. , Every day that passes, Crane City will become more dangerous, and if it fails to complete the tasks assigned by the King of Han, it will obviously make the King of Han angry. Keeping Qin Lei is not only military, but more importantly, political.

He Lanxiong could only make a more risky decision. He sent out the Guli cavalry that had just arrived, and was joined by five hundred cavalry led by Ye Feng. In order to temper Ye Feng, Gao Yuan once sent Ye Feng to the infantry cavalry division to follow him. The infantry had been fighting in Daijun for nearly a year and were quite familiar with Daijun's mountains and rivers. Led by Ye Feng, the more than 5,000 cavalry avoided important towns and marched towards Hecheng. Along the way, they encountered capable enemies. Quickly annihilate them. If they encounter a large group of enemies who intercept them, they will immediately bypass them at a distance. They will march day and night, advancing forward at an unimaginable speed along the way.

They left all Zhao Jun's messengers far behind. When they appeared in front of this group of Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun, who was mainly attacking Hecheng, was still at a loss.

In order to cover Gu Li's light cavalry advance and attract Li Mingjun's large troops, He Lanxiong also led the main force of the Eastern Field Army Group to attack Xiling City. This also made Li Mingjun know that a large number of Huns cavalry had infiltrated, but he was helpless because He Lanxiong had tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him.

When the sky was dim, the war was over. On the battlefield, the cavalry rode slowly among the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, patrolling the fallen people. There were no survivors yet, and in the center of the battlefield, finally A group of Zhao soldiers had given up resistance, squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads, and became prisoners of the Han army. Qin Lei dragged his sword and walked towards the bright red flag.

"It was that general who came to support Hecheng. Qin Lei is extremely grateful."

Gu Li dismounted from her horse and strode forward to greet him. "Gu Li, the independent cavalry division of the Huns of the Han Kingdom, has met the commander of the Qin Army."

"Gu, Gu Li?" Qin Lei blinked and stuttered, not because the mask on Gu Li's face was too scary, but because the other party was actually a woman. Although she was covered with armor and had a helmet on her head, That figure and curves are completely different from those of men.

"Commander Qin!" A horse galloped over and ran up to the two of them. He laughed and got off his horse, "We finally meet again. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to see you, a stubborn old man!"

He Lanxiong's Dong Ye has been stationed in Dai County for a long time, and Ye Feng and Qin Lei, the senior generals of Dai County, are very familiar with them.

"Mr. Ye!" Seeing the familiar general, a smile appeared on Qin Lei's face, "If you were still three to five days late, the old man would really have to report to the Yama Hall."

"Awesome, Commander Qin. After guarding this small Crane City for half a year, the King of Han admired you so much that he gave us Commander Helan a death order. If we cannot save you Commander Qin, let us Helan The commander himself went to Jicheng to plead guilty!" Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Thank you, King Han, for remembering me, old man." Qin Lei's voice was choked with sobs, and he turned towards Jicheng, clasping his fists and deeply bowing to the ground.

"Forget it, forget it, you bow here and the king can't see it. After this battle, you can go to Jicheng to thank the king in person!" Ye Feng patted his shoulder affectionately, "This is Gu Commander Li, you have already met, right? Commander Qin doesn’t know Commander Gu Li yet, she is the most popular female general in our Han Dynasty in the past six months. Li Xin was defeated on the grassland, and she made a great contribution!"

"I admire you, I admire you!" Qin Lei looked at Gu Li and said with a smile, "I will ask Master Gu for advice later."

"Well, let's talk. Commander Ye, since you are familiar with the Qin army commander, you can do the finishing work here. I will reorganize the cavalry. There are still continuous battles to be fought. We must cooperate. Commander Helan is still busy with the battle in Daijun!"

"Okay, okay, go ahead and do your work!" Ye Feng nodded.

Looking at Gu Li's retreating back, Qin Lei looked at her back curiously: "Why does this Master Gu wear a mask? Make him so mysterious?"

"This Master Gu has a great background. Her husband is the head of the No. 1 village in the world, which was personally awarded by the King of Han Dynasty. Now he is one of the top members of the Great Council and is based in Jicheng. The reason why she is wearing a mask is because It was because of this battle on the prairie that she not only participated in the whole process, but also made great contributions. In the last battle, she was stabbed on her beautiful face, which completely disfigured her appearance, so she has always been... Wearing a mask, she did not take it off even in front of the King of Han, so Master Qin should not blame her."

"Understood, understood!" Qin Lei looked at the figure that was about to disappear from sight, his eyes filled with admiration.

On the tower of the city gate of Hecheng County, after Qin Lei left, Lu Ting kept leaning on the city stamp and staring into the distance until the dawn gradually began to dawn on the horizon. He finally saw clearly the fluttering yellow dragon flag in the distance, and there was a flag. The cavalry rushed towards Hecheng, and the first one was Qin Lei, whom Lu Ting was familiar with. Lu Ting breathed a long sigh of relief, his legs went weak, his vision went dark, and he slid softly along the wall. Go down. I heard the exclamations of the government officials. (To be continued)
