Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 358

Chapter 358

On the way to retreat, Long Qi's spirit was always tense.

The combat power of the Qin army is really too strong. They retreat at this time. Although the possibility of the Qin army chasing and killing them is unlikely, Zhang Liang believes that even if there is a one in ten thousand possibility, they should not be taken lightly.Therefore, they set up a full triple ambush on the way to retreat.

He hoped that the Qin army would chase and kill them, so that they could enter his encirclement and narrow the gap between the two sides.

But he didn't want the Qin army to chase them down, because their strength had dropped sharply at this moment. If the Qin army was dispatched in full force, even if they succeeded in ambush, they might not be able to kill a few more enemies.

After waiting for three or four days in a row, the ambush circle in the rear retreated several times in a row, and the scouts sent out did not respond. Zhang Liang's nervous heart also relaxed a lot.

It seems that the casualties in the city were indeed beyond his estimate. Even though Ying Gang wanted to chase and kill him, he had no choice but to give up because of his lack of strength.

After nightfall, the bonfires were brightly lit at the camp of the coalition forces.

Although drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited in the army, it is extremely lucky for many people to be able to come back alive from Xingyang, which is like a meat grinder.

Drinking a lot now can be regarded as an end to the grief and depression in my heart.

Zhang Liang originally wanted to stop it, but Ying Bu and Long Qi had no intention of stopping it, so they could only swallow these words in their stomachs in the end.

"Zifang, come, try my handicraft." Long Qie walked over with a horse's leg in one hand.

Although the war horses are extremely important to the Chu army, if the wounded war horses are not killed, not only will they not be able to help them, but they may even become a burden to them.

Frustrated, they could only slaughter some of the wounded horses.

Zhang Liang took the horse's leg, took a bite, nodded slightly and said: "The general's craftsmanship is not inferior to those of the cooks in my house. It's a pity that this horse meat is too rough. If it is beef and mutton, the taste will be improved a lot."

With a smile on his face, Long Qi looked at him and said, "If there is no general, I'm afraid I'm still a poor commoner, and it's impossible for this skill to be known to the world."

There was a hint of enlightenment on Zhang Liang's face.

After pondering for a moment, he asked again: "Zhang Liang admires the relationship between brother Longqi and the general."

Long Qie said lightly: "The general is my lord, and I am grateful to him. But this time Xingyang was defeated, I really have no face to face him."

Thinking of the defeat, Long Qi's face became gloomy again.

The two fell silent.

After a while, it was Long Qie who broke the deadlock, looked at Zhang Liang in front of him and said, "Zifang has the talents of the world, why bother to waste it, why not follow me to Shouchun to meet the general? Entrust."

Zhang Liang didn't say much, but asked calmly: "The general already has Old Master Fan, if I go, where will Old Master Fan go?"

Long Qi was startled, and finally fell into deep thought again.

Zhang Liang smiled faintly: "Zifang appreciates the general's kindness, but Zhang Liang's heart is full of family hatred and national hatred, it is really difficult to repay."

"It's such a pity." Long Qie sighed, his expression a bit unsightly.

Zhang Liang is an extremely intelligent person, so it is naturally impossible to say this directly to death.Looking at Long Qi in front of him, he added: "In fact, Zhang Liang has already made a promise in his heart."

"What promise?"

"Whoever can avenge me, I will support whoever is the lord."

Long Qie's eyes suddenly lit up.

Looking at the world, although all the six countries have been restored, only Chu and Wei are the strongest.

Although the state of Wei is not much different from the state of Chu, they are at the center of other countries, and it is still difficult to devote themselves to the battle with the state of Qin.

Only the state of Chu can raise the soldiers of the whole country to fight against the state of Qin.

When Zhang Liang said this, it was actually the same as telling Long Qi that if he wanted to be my lord, he had to destroy Xianyang and kill Ying Zheng, otherwise there would be no discussion.

Knowing this, Long Qie no longer persuaded him.

At this moment, Ji Bu came over.

"General, Mr. Zifang, the scouts came to report, but there was still no movement from Qin Jun."

Zhang Liang frowned slightly and said, "Understood."

Seeing Zhang Liang's appearance, Long Qi beckoned to Ji Bu and said, "Is there really no movement from the Qin army?"

Ji Bu nodded.

"Our sentry cavalry has been wandering around twenty miles around Xingyang. If the Qin army passes by, we can't be unaware. But until now, there is still no movement from the Qin army."

Long Qi's eyes fell on Zhang Liang again.

The latter thought for a while and said: "It seems that the Qin army will not pursue and kill them. Pass down the order to let all the brothers in ambush withdraw, so that the army can speed up and strive to return to Shouchun as soon as possible."

Long Qi nodded: "According to our current speed, we can enter Chudi in at most ten days. Once we reach Chudi, we can enter the city and have a good rest."

The three of them talked for a long night, while Ying Gang on the other side had already left the city quickly, and came towards them with sharpened knives.

It's not that he doesn't know the plan of the Chu army. Because of this, they didn't choose to go out in the daytime, but in the dead of night.

Today is the fifth night that the Chu army has retreated. Ying Gang guessed that even if the Chu army really had such good patience, they might all withdraw their defenses at this time.

After leaving the city, Ying Gang took a detour in order to avoid alarming the enemy. Instead of rushing to catch up with Zhang Liang, he first bypassed the main road and followed the trail.

Although this trail is not as flat and wide as the Chi Dao built by Daqin, it was built by the State of Wei at any rate, and it is still feasible when the horses are galloping.

It's just that fewer people have left these years, and the weeds on both sides have grown up, making this place look a bit defeated.

Just before entering the driveway, Ying Gang ordered the team to stop first.

He dismounted directly, looked at the avenue in front of him and observed for a long time, then suddenly pointed to the side of the road and said, "Go and have a look."

"Hi!"

Two carefully selected spies rushed forward quickly, squatting on the ground to carefully identify a pile of dark things.

After a long time, they finally stood up and reported to Ying Ganghui: "My son, we two judged that the horse manure should have been pulled down in the past two days. And there are many clear horseshoe marks around. It seems that there is a The cavalry pass."

Ying Gang fell into thinking when he heard the words.

Now that the Central Plains is constantly fighting, it is naturally impossible for merchants to dare to come out to sell goods at this time.

Only the soldiers of the two armies can ride horses.

The soldiers on his side definitely did not reach here, so it can be inferred that only the enemy's scouts can get here.

"Brothers, there may be enemy scouts around. Let everyone prepare their bows and crossbows. If they find the enemy, they must shoot and kill them, leaving no one behind."

"Hi!"

All the soldiers held the bows and crossbows in their hands and waited for them. Only then did Ying Gang feel relieved to mount his horse and headed forward.
