This situation must be reported, but how to report it is a technical job.
Tell the truth that he was beaten by 300 Qin cavalry? Not only were several villages swept away, but the entire army was also wiped out during the pursuit?
If this is the case, given the character of the current king, it would be strange that he should not be punished.
Yurilo waved his hands impatiently.
The soldiers respectfully retired.
The deputy general said: "General, these Qin troops are too arrogant and are completely challenging us. I think we should attack their border immediately!"
"They just succeeded in a sneak attack this time. If they really confront our army, these Central Plains people will be like lambs to be slaughtered like before!"
Although he suffered a small defeat today, the deputy general's thinking has not changed. In his opinion, if it is a duel between the main armies, his own warriors can definitely defeat the Qin army!
Yuriluo frowned slightly: "Haven't you noticed that the Qin army is different this time? Their arrows shoot far away, and their cavalry are also extremely fast."
After all, he is a guard general. Although he also has a wolf-sheep attitude toward the Central Plains, he still needs to say some things that need to be said.
"This must be their elite." The deputy general said: "General, I still think that the warriors should be gathered together. This revenge must be avenged."
"Okay." Yuriluo said: "Since the Qin army dares to attack us this time, their border must be well prepared. Our current strength is less than 30,000, and it is very likely that we will not be able to break through the border. "
"But General!" The deputy general was very anxious. He was lucky enough to participate in a war to invade the Central Plains and tasted a lot of sweetness, especially the Central Plains girl, who made him brag among his friends for a long time.
Yuriluo understood his mentality and said: "These Qin troops are not comparable to those Central Plains troops. Have you forgotten that our country was defeated by King Qin in the last battle?"
"This." The deputy general paused and said, "Isn't that because of a mistake in the battle command?"
The entire ghost tribe has been severely brainwashed by the idea of invading rich countries. Just like their ordinary people, they all believe that invading the Central Plains is right and should be supported by the whole people. Many people are proud of it.
"Battle command errors are just one of the reasons."
Yurilo said: "I also want to invade the Central Plains, but for this matter, I must get the support of His Majesty the King and send more troops to Sais City."
"Then General why don't you ask His Majesty the King."
"I will report what happened today."
Yuriluo said: "The Qin army that attacked us this time is an elite cavalry. We must find a way to defeat them!"
"Tomorrow, they will definitely raid other places!"
As he spoke, he looked at the lieutenant with bright eyes.
The deputy general immediately saluted and said: "I understand! General, please rest assured, I will arrange for the warriors to ambush in the surrounding villages!"
Northeast Pass.
The sun sets in the west, and the sky is orange.
The military information had already been sent back, and the soldiers of the border army who received the news gathered at the top of the city, eagerly awaiting it.
Three hundred cavalrymen galloped in from a distance, many of them leading a horse.
"General Wei and the brothers from the Ghost Fighting Clan are back!"
A shout of surprise.
"Hurry up and open the city!"
The tall and heavy city gate slowly opened, and there was a cheer on the top of the city.
This feeling is different from the wars of other countries. It is a blood feud, a history of the nation being humiliated, and a battle with the ghost tribe.
All the soldiers were not excited, and they almost surrounded the three hundred returning knights into the pass.
The city gate is closed again.
One of the cavalrymen said carelessly: "In this battle, we swept away several villages of the ghost clan, and then attacked the city of Sais. We drove the ghost army into panic and sent more than 500 cavalrymen to chase us. In the end, we killed all of them with our backhands." Leftover! Haha!”
"ox!!!"
"pretty!"
"Good kill!"
The officers and soldiers of the Qin army were all excited when they heard the battle. I don't know who shouted: "Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years! The Qin army is mighty!"
Immediately afterwards came the thunderous shouts: "Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years! The Qin army is mighty——"
Morale was at its peak.
When the scene calmed down a bit, Wei Qing said seriously: "Although it is a small victory in this battle, we must not slack off! If the ghost clan is in a hurry, it is very likely to attack the border. The soldiers must keep their spirits up and defend the country! If If the ghost army really dares to come, they will come and kill each one!"
"Understood!!!" All the soldiers shouted in unison.
On the city defense, all the defenders were excited. Someone said: "It's a pity that my riding skills are not good and I can't enter the cavalry camp. Otherwise, I would be able to kill the ghosts with General Wei Qing!"
Another person said: "I will definitely ask General Wei Qing to take me with him tomorrow."
"I don't know if the ghost army will attack."
"If they come, I will kill them."
After Wei Qing returned to the border camp, he began to shout loudly: "Old horse! Where is old horse!"
Lao Ma is the person in charge of the maintenance of the war horses of this cavalry unit and is very experienced in the field of war horses.
After the three hundred black cavalry's fine horses come back, they will also be carefully fed by professional personnel.
Not long after, Lao Ma heard the sound and trotted over. He bowed and said, "I've seen the general."
"Old horse." Wei Qing patted a horse in the stable: "Let's see how these ghost army horses are doing. Can they be used in our army?"
"Hey, this is the general's capture today." The old horse's eyes lit up, and he started to touch around the horse and look there. He also pinched the horse's mouth and took a closer look, and finally came to the conclusion: "Enpinxiang It's very good. Although it is not as good as our black cavalry, it is comparable to some ordinary horses. The general knows that our horse farms in the Central Plains are not as good as the Mobei grasslands."
"I understand. What you mean is that it can be used as a cavalry unit?" Wei Qing said.
"Of course." Lao Ma answered simply.
"Okay." Wei Qing looked very happy and patted the old horse on the shoulder: "Then I'll leave these horses to you."
"Don't worry, General." Lao Ma saluted respectfully.
That night, Wei Qing naturally rewarded the soldiers who went out to fight.
During this period, a cavalryman couldn't help but ask: "General, which area should we clean tomorrow?"
"I won't go tomorrow." Wei Qing said directly.
"Ah? General, this ghost tribe is extremely hateful. We should continue to attack them hard." People were somewhat unhappy and asked for another fight.
Wei Qing said: "I really thought that the ghost army were all fools. I caught them off guard today. They must have set up an ambush tomorrow. Let me study the matter of going to war again. I will definitely take a rest in the past two days."
"This." People looked at each other and finally accepted the order.
Wei Qing is a general-level figure who can definitely stand alone.
Xiao Yuan sent him here not just to harass a small group of cavalry, but if so, wouldn't it be that he was overqualified and underused.
The real purpose is to let him guard the Northeast Pass first and prepare for the subsequent war.
Of course, the order Xiao Yuan gave him was also very clear: Qingqi could be dispatched to attack the ghost tribe at any time, and military provocation could be carried out at any time.
