Although there is a big difference in combat effectiveness between recruiting soldiers and garrison soldiers, mutiny is by no means a basic operation of garrison soldiers. There are also many examples of recruiting mutiny. To put it bluntly, recruiting soldiers is the nature of mercenaries, and their purpose is to make money, so the loyalty of recruits In fact, it's not high. After all, she is a mother if she has breasts. In contrast, private guards like "housekeepers" are more loyal.
As Zhang Feng and Zhao Ling were killed one after another, only the last level of the official road remained.
At the same time, Liu Ming also returned to Qin Feng in time and reported all the surrounding situations he had discovered to Qin Feng.
Liu Ming cupped his fists and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Hou, there are at least seven or eight hundred people at the last checkpoint, and judging from their armor, morale, and military discipline, they are Lu Li's personal soldiers."
"In addition, the thousands of enemy soldiers ambushing around them have not shown any signs of encirclement. It seems that the alliance between Ye Xiao and Lu Li is not strong."
Hearing this, Qin Feng held his chin and thought about it secretly.
Qin Feng was definitely not able to break through the last level, whether it was numerical superiority or elite level. Moreover, there were night owls and a large number of ambushes around the official road. Judging from the situation alone, it seemed that he was in a desperate situation.
Li Xiaolan stood beside Qin Feng, looked at the front of the official road, and said softly: "Feng'er, with our small manpower, if we want to break through Lu Li's soldiers head-on, we will definitely face a large number of casualties, and there are many people on both sides of the official road. There are too many ambushes, and after much thought, the only way out is retreat."
Qin Feng shook his head, his eyes firm: "There is no turning back now."
"The reason why these soldiers from the palace did not encircle them is because this place is too close to the royal capital. Lu Li and Ye Xiao have some scruples. If they go back to the palace now and stay away from the boundaries of the royal capital, they will be surrounded by Lu Li without any scruples. .”
"The only option now is to move forward."
Li Xiaolan doesn't care about taking risks. As long as she can be with Qin Feng, even if she narrowly escapes death, what's there to fear?
Moreover, Qin Feng led less than 200 people, passed two levels in a row, defeated 400 people, and killed the two leaders Zhang Feng and Zhao Ling. However, his own losses were almost negligible, and there were no soldiers killed. Completely relying on his rich combat experience and sophisticated equipment, he crushed Lu Li's eagle dogs head-on.
Even if he has to face Lu Li's soldiers next, Li Xiaolan still has full confidence in Qin Feng.
Under the desperate gazes of Li Xiaolan and Liu Ming, Qin Feng did not hesitate, waved decisively, and led the Beixi soldiers and Anwu guards towards the last checkpoint where Lu Li was.
At the same time, Zhang Zhenhai had led the Tianji Battalion guards to reach the last checkpoint, with the two sides less than 500 steps apart.
Zhang Zhenhai did not approach rashly, but immediately ordered the Tianji Camp guards to stop advancing and just watch from a distance.
Since the advance Anwuwei scouts had informed Zhang Zhenhai of the news in advance, Zhang Zhenhai knew that the person guarding the gate in front was none other than Lu Li himself.
Not only that, Lu Li discovered that at the checkpoint in the distance, there were not only a large number of people, but also nearly a hundred cavalry.
Moreover, the remaining infantry were also wearing uniform armor, and it was obvious at first glance that they were well-trained elites.
The most critical point is that, facing the unstoppable guards of the Tianji Battalion who had passed two levels in a row, the opponent did not panic at all and began to organize defense in an orderly manner. At the same time, more than a hundred cavalry had also mounted their horses, but they did not He didn't rush forward directly, but just stayed by the infantry to prevent the guards from the Tianji Battalion from attacking.
Whether it is the calm morale or the order in which the defense is organized, it shows that Lu Li's soldiers are not easy to mess with.
No matter how brave the Tianji camp guards are, with thirty facing eight hundred, when the morale of both sides is not much different, rushing forward is just a matter of throwing an egg against a stone.
Zhang Zhenhai rationally chose to confront him on the spot and wait for Qin Feng to lead the follow-up troops to arrive.
While Zhang Zhenhai was sizing up the defenders, Lu Li was also sizing up the Tianji Camp guards.
Lu Li couldn't help but nodded and praised softly: "As expected of the guards of Tianji camp, they are indeed elites who are brave and good at fighting."
Hearing Lu Li's praise of the Tianji Camp guards, the deputy general of the garrison on the side was secretly surprised and asked softly: "Master Zhu, the opponent only has thirty people, and they have been fighting all the way. They must have been exhausted, and ours Qingqi has plenty of physical strength. If he rushes over at this time, he will surely be able to annihilate all the Tianji Battalion guards."
"One hundred against thirty, there is no reason why we cannot beat him."
Seeing that the deputy general of the garrison was eager to fight, Lu Li calmly waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be anxious.
"Although the opponent's number is small, they have passed two levels in a row. Not to mention dead people, not even injured people, which shows how brave these thirty people are. Moreover, the guards of Tianji Camp have already been notorious. If you underestimate the enemy rashly, you will suffer a big loss. .”
"Although our light cavalry has a physical advantage, as long as we defend with the infantry, we will be invincible. If we attack rashly, we will only cause unnecessary losses if we are led into a trap by the guards of the Tianji Camp."
"Don't worry, I have the advantage."
The reason why Lu Li is so relaxed is because the dragnet has been formed. Qin Feng has no way to retreat and can only move forward, while Lu Li only needs to wait and see.
Zhang Zhenhai, who was opposite him, felt even heavier when he saw Lu Li being so calm.
"Lü Li is worthy of being from the Beidi Zhu Kingdom. He is only five hundred steps away from us, but he still managed to keep his composure and did not send out the cavalry. This is not going to be easy."
Although the guards around them knew that this battle was likely to be disastrous, they looked at Lu Li without wavering. After all, it was their duty to clear the way for Lord Qin, and they were not afraid of being shattered into pieces.
As time went by, the sky gradually became darker. Zhang Zhenhai turned around and glanced at the sun that was about to disappear on the horizon, and he became more and more worried.
Finally, before the sky turned completely dark, Qin Feng and the large group of people appeared in Zhang Zhenhai's sight.
Zhang Zhenhai did not hesitate, immediately turned his horse's head and ran to Qin Feng.
"Master Marquis, the road ahead is blocked by Lu Li and his soldiers. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, I did not lead my brothers to launch a rash attack."
Hearing this, Qin Feng smiled and nodded: "Well done, we have few people, so every soldier is extremely important."
Seeing that Qin Feng didn't blame him at all, Zhang Zhenhai breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Master Hou, it's already dark. Under the cover of night, the surrounding ambush troops may be waiting for opportunities. I don't know, Master Hou." How do you plan to make a decision?"
Everyone present had solemn eyes, even Li Xiaolan had a stern expression, but Qin Feng always kept a smile on his face, seemingly not caring about the desperate situation in front of him.
