Chapter 23

The country of Qi is full of rain this year, and it will always drizzle every now and then. The crops are growing well, and there is no need to work hard to water. As long as the summer harvest is good, the harvest is certain. The wrinkled old farmer happily walked in the fields in a straw raincoat. Listening to the rustling sound of the rain hitting the wheat leaves, he thought in his mind that according to the year's year, he paid the rent and paid the taxes, and he could still make a lot of wealth, which should be enough for the whole family to eat for a year. Thinking of this, the wrinkles on the old farmer's face seemed to stretch out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But not everyone likes this continuous rainy day.

Qin Lei complained loudly, and he said to Shen Qing beside him: "Has the sky in Qi State been pierced? Look, my scabbard and saddle are all moldy. This ghost weather is as annoying as Qi State!"

Shen Qing looked at His Highness with a smile. He knew that this was a way for His Highness to relieve stress, so he didn't talk to him and just listened quietly.

Qin Lei saw Shen Qing's tepid appearance and said annoyedly: "I should have kept Hou Xin at the beginning. Even Xu Ge is fine. I really don't know if I had a fever or something? How could I fall in love with you, a half-not-chewable guy?"

Shen Qing was embarrassed to smile and didn't know how to answer.

Qin Lei saw that he was so funny that he didn't let the boy jump out a word, and he lay on the horse's back in a discouragement, feeling the strong muscles of the horse under his crotch. He looked back at the peasant army staggering forward in the mud. He sighed and said, "Okay, I admit that I'm going crazy. I can't walk forty miles a day. In addition, the twenty miles I owe yesterday, we have to walk at least one more day. On this day, the Yum Army may catch up at any time, or may never catch up. This feeling of putting myself on the gambling platform is really fucking..."

"It's so good!" Qin Lei suddenly stood up and screamed, frighteningly shocking the horse under his crotch.

It has been seven days since the division of troops. The calm along the way made Qin Lei secretly glad and worried. As he got closer to his destination, this uneasiness became more and more intense.

Qin Lei touched the headless arrow in his backpack and sighed at his sixth sense. He was about to say to Shen Qing that if this continues, he will become a woman. A scout rushed from the front, grabbed the reins in front of Qin Lei, and forced himself to stop the castration. Before he could salute, he said anxiously: "Your Highness, the bridge in front has collapsed."

Qin Lei rolled his eyes and found that it was indeed nothing good if it was raining. He ordered the team to continue moving forward and took more than a dozen riders to investigate.

Looking at the few pieces of thick hemp rolling up and down the turbulent river, Qin Lei turned over and got off the horse, landing on the soft shore, splashing countless mud stars. Suddenly, he let out a light "huh" and walked to the wooden stakes with hemp ropes and looked down. There were some messy footprints on the ground, as well as horse hoof prints, and horse hoof prints meandered to the upper reaches of the river.

Qin Lei held the wooden stake with one hand and pulled out a hemp rope as thick as an arm from the water with the other hand. Sure enough, the break was neat, which was done by the sharp blade. Qin Lei threw down the hemp rope and said to Shen Qing: "Go and find Shi Wei."

Soon Shi Wei rode a horse to the river and found that Qin Lei was gesturing something at the five-meter-wide river. The rumbling sound of water did not affect Qin Lei's hearing. He turned around and said to Shi Wei grimly: "We have been discovered, and the enemy will soon arrive, from the upstream." He pointed to the east without saying a basis for judgment.

Shi Wei jumped off the horse, saluted Qin Lei and asked, "Your Highness, what do you need your subordinates to do?"

Qin Lei was not polite and asked directly: "How long does it take to build a bridge?"

Shi Wei greeted a dark-skinned man behind him, first asked him to salute Qin Lei, and then introduced: "Your Highness, Lukan is a craftsman in the rebel army and an expert in building bridges and houses. Let him answer your questions."

Qin Lei nodded friendly to this simple-looking man and repeated the question again.

Lukan was a little restrained, but he could still say it clearly: "Back to this official, the original rope of the bridge was cut off. As long as you connect it and put it on the wooden board, you can pass. It takes less than half an hour to go."

Qin Lei continued, "Sir, can you connect the rope?"

Lukan was frightened by the name "Mr.", and said nervously: "I dare not take it, I dare not take it."

Qin Lei looked at him helplessly, and then he remembered Qin Lei's question and said embarrassedly: "Yes, as long as there is a rope connecting the two ends, the villain can connect it."

Qin Lei said happily: "If you escape from danger today, you will be the first merit for the teacher." He said to Shi Wei on the side: "Just send 500 people to listen to the teacher's order, and those who violate the order will be killed." Shi Wei sang to answer the order.

Rukan cried and said, "Everything else is easy to say, just how to connect the rope first?"

Qin Lei smiled and said, "Leave this to me."

After saying that, he asked Shen Qing to pick up his package, and after taking it out, he took out a crossbow from it, and removed the arrow. An iron ring was welded on the tail of the arrow. Qin Lei took out a roll of thin rope and cleverly passed through the iron ring and tied a knot. Then he reappeared and hung the crossbow, and focused his attention on the opposite side of the river.

Everyone next to him held their breath, fearing that it would affect his accuracy.

Qin Lei pulled the trigger firmly, and the arrow was nailed to the front of a rope floating in the water in the blink of an eye.

Lukan hurriedly took the string, and with the help of several guards, he dragged the rope over, then took out the tools from his waist and started repairing.

Qin Lei took advantage of this gap and ordered Shen Qing and Shi Wei: "Plant the team. Row the diamond array east of the river. Shen Qing, spread all the gadgets."

After saying that, he took the guard's crossbow and aimed at the second rope.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-

Zhao Kang and Zhao Hang felt that his luck was not bad enough. After they intercepted a team, they did not find Qin Lei. The kind-hearted mysterious man sent another message to determine Qin Lei's whereabouts for them.

The weather did not have that great impact on the cavalry. The Parkson cavalry, who had galloped for two days and nights, finally heard the rumbling sound of water. According to the instructions, it was possible to find prey on the bridge if it was five miles downstream.

At this time, the three thousand cavalry borrowed from General Xue had already fallen behind for a long time and lost contact.

After Zhao Kang and Zhao Hang made some adjustments, he ordered to form a storm formation and sweep downstream.

He trampled on countless fertile fields along the way, including the old farmer in the straw raincoat. He looked at the galloping cavalry without tears until he was knocked down on the ridges of the fields and crushed into mud.

No one cared about the life or death of an old farmer. Zhao Kang and Zhao Hang had already seen thousands of people in the downstream lined up from afar. After several days of running around, he finally found the main owner. His fatigue and irritability were swept away. The Yum Preparatory Cavalrymen were red-eyed and howled and beat the war horses desperately and rushed forward, wanting to chop the bastard who had been leading his nose for nearly a thousand miles into meat sauce.

The shock of nearly two thousand cavalry charges is powerful, sweeping over the surging sound of the river on one side, which is enough to make ordinary people lose their souls and fall into silence on the ground.

The military strategy says: Do not force the enemy to force him, and do not stop him from returning to his army.

On the edge of Zhuluyuan, a large group of desperate bandits and a small group of teams eager to go home were blocked by the river.

After crossing the river and walking for another eighty miles, you will reach the mountain. According to what His Highness said, as long as you enter the mountain, you will no longer be afraid of the champion's encirclement and suppression, and you may still be the king of the mountain.

After crossing the river and walking sixty miles, it is the place that Your Highness and Tie Ying agreed upon. When you get there, you will have hope of life and you will be able to go home.

The premise of all this is to cross the river, and the premise of crossing the river is to repair the bridge.

The Qiang Bandit and the Gui Shi who fought with their backs were red, and they roared like wild animals, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, and wanted to swallow and peel off all the enemy troops that dared to hinder their crossing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a blink of an eye, the Baisheng Qi army had rushed to the front of the formation two hundred steps, and both sides could see the ferocious expressions on each other's faces.

Qianqi Jue Hiraoka——

Suddenly, the few horses that rushed in front were neighing and flew low, and then fell downwards at an extremely fast speed, slapped on the ground with their horses sideways. The knight on the horse was caught off guard and was thrown out before the war horse fell. He slapped hard in front of the formation and fainted.

In the grass, several tripping ropes were firmly fixed by iron brazing at both ends, and they were still trembling.

The knights behind were slightly surprised but not panic. They grabbed the horse's hair, and the horses all flew over the obstacles on the ground. This was just a small episode. Zhao Kang and Zhao Hang, who were watching the battle behind the formation, comforted each other.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the war horse landed, it stepped on the air and fell backwards to the ground. The knight on the horse was pressed under the war horse before he could react, and he was unable to see it.

After stuttering, there was also a trap for horses, and Zhao Kang and Zhao Hang cursed their opponents' viciousness.

After losing more than a dozen cavalry, the Yum Qi army involuntarily slowed down its speed, and its momentum was weak.

A burst of cheers broke out from the coalition formation opposite, and the oppression brought by the Thousand Cavalry assault was swept away.

Seeing that the team was blocked, Zhao Kang was furious and took off the rainy pear gun from the saddle, rushed to the front of the formation, and shouted: "Yeah win!"

Qi soldiers shouted in unison: "All battles are won!!" He suddenly remembered his identity, and they were ashamed to death, gritted their teeth and raised their weapons to follow the lieutenant to attack.

At this time, Qin Lei had just connected all the ropes with crossbow arrows and walked into his own formation with a crossbow. He saw a Qi general holding a spear leading the team to less than a hundred steps in front of the formation.

He habitually picked up the crossbow, leaned his head on the wooden support, and locked the charge general through Wangshan.
