Lin Ze jumped back to the city wall and told Qian Yuan on the side: "Go and brew twenty pots of special soup. In half an hour, I will personally lead an army of 10,000 to chase the rebels. Before that, the soup
You must be prepared to surrender to the pursuing soldiers."
Qianyuan looked solemn, bowed and promised, "I obey," and then hurriedly left with a few assistants.
Dongfang He on the side asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Sect Master, didn't you just seriously injure the rebel leader? Shouldn't you attack immediately while the rebels are leaderless? In half an hour, the rebels were all
If you are about to run away without a trace, how can you pursue me?"
Lin Ze shook his head and laughed loudly: "Uncle Master, what you said is wrong. This is not the best opportunity to pursue. I think that Zhou Shi is not an ordinary person. Now that he has escaped back to the camp, he will definitely
Find a way to control the overall situation in a very short time.”
"If Zhou Shi was smart enough, he would have sent people to release the news and publicize that the Qin Congress would kill all the rebels, so as to arouse the rebellion's mourning. If I lead the army to attack at this time, I am afraid that I will just hit it and lose the army.
Not to mention, even Hangu Pass is at risk of being lost."
"It should be noted that my nephew's men are all new troops. They are new to the battlefield and their strength is very weak. However, the opponent is a veteran who has experienced many battles. Their momentum is incomparable."
"My nephew is planning to wait for half an hour before pursuing the enemy. Imagine that the rebels, who were encouraged by Zhou Shi and prepared for battle, found that the army was delayed in attacking. Would they be suspicious and feel cheated?"
"After being tricked by Zhou Shi and in danger of their lives, if they calm down a little, will they break up and run for their lives?"
"When they run for a while and find that the officers and soldiers still haven't chased them, will they think they are safe? How fast do you think the rebels who are physically and mentally exhausted and relaxed in their vigilance will escape?"
"At this time, my nephew led another army and rushed towards me. Can the exhausted rebels withstand it? They will be destroyed. It's just a matter of backhand. What do you think?"
With Dongfang He's intelligence, he naturally understood what Lin Ze meant, and he couldn't help but show admiration on his face and said: "The master has no clues, I admire him."
Lin Ze just smiled indifferently and casually named a few mausoleum guards and asked them to select 10,000 soldiers who volunteered and dared to fight and kill from the army guarding the gate.
Looking at the soldiers following him with expressions of admiration after hearing his analysis, Lin Ze couldn't help but shake his head slightly. What he said was actually all lies.
The bullshit mourning force was just an excuse made by Lin Ze.
You must know that there are only 50,000 remnants of the rebel army left, and their morale is low, and their combat power is down to 10%. If Lin Ze is determined to destroy them, as long as he uses his own peerless force to open the way, and brings 100,000 new soldiers with full status.
The army will directly run over them, ensuring a decisive battle.
Such a result is the best for Qin. Unfortunately, this is what Hu Hai wants, not what Lin Ze wants.
Lin Ze felt that it was enough for him to experience this kind of thing once, and if he did it again, he would look too stupid.
As for whether Zhou Shi could seize this opportunity to escape, it was beyond Lin Ze's control. If he was really hopelessly stupid, Lin Ze wouldn't mind taking a human head to collect the reward.
Two quarters of an hour later, Qianyuan came up and reported: "Your Excellency, my subordinates have already prepared the decoction and it is ready for the soldiers to take at any time."
Lin Ze nodded slightly and said: "Get ready, put the soup and medicine in bowls, I will bring people over as soon as possible."
"Nuo" Qianyuan bowed and slowly stepped back.
A quarter of an hour later, a mausoleum guard came back with a message: "Commander, the 10,000 soldiers have been assembled. They are standing below waiting for your order to be given. Please give instructions from the commander."
Lin Ze decisively walked down the city wall, looked at the ten thousand majestic soldiers with their heads held high, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "I am very pleased that you can come forward."
"A warrior deserves to be revered and praised, and deserves preferential treatment. Therefore, I have decided to reward you with a bowl of rare soup as a reward."
"Someone, bring it up."
Countless civilians came over with bowls of soup and medicine in front of these "warriors".
Lin Ze shouted loudly: "Do it, and then go out with me to fight."
After the soldiers took the decoction and drank from the bowl, they felt a ball of fire rising up all over their bodies, and their faces could not help but turn red. They loudly responded: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief. I am willing to go through life and death for the Commander-in-Chief, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Lin Ze directly got on a horse, waved his hand and said: "Follow me to the battle."
The 10,000-strong army immediately put down their bowls, mounted their horses, and automatically gathered behind Lin Ze.
Afterwards, the city gate of Hanguguan was opened, and Lin Ze led an army of 10,000 to pursue the east.
Others in the pass watched with envy as Lin Ze led the army away, and some even sighed sadly: "I wish I had known better when to sign up, otherwise I would have taken the decoction and followed the commander on the expedition."
Maybe it’s me.”
Among the people present, only Qianyuan showed a worried look on his face, because apart from the adults, he was the only one who knew that something special was added to the soup.
A kind of medicinal material that the adult got from Tai Hospital, which he labeled as a "stimulant".
According to the adults, ordinary people will develop stronger power when taking this medicinal material, which is most suitable for fighting.
It's just that there will be some sequelae. So far, no one has discovered it. Even except for a few doctors, most people have probably never seen this kind of medicine.
Although Qianyuan didn't quite understand what Lin Ze wanted to express, he knew very well that as long as he unswervingly completed his instructions, he would be worry-free for the rest of his life.
On the straight road, an army of 10,000 people is rushing forward. The scouts in front will always adjust the direction of the army based on the traces on the ground.
After running for an hour, Lin Ze and his army finally caught up with a group of rebels on a hillside, numbering about ten thousand people.
When Lin Ze saw this, he didn't say a word, and immediately took the lead and killed them. Ten thousand new troops who had been drugged followed closely behind and rushed forward with howls.
As Lin Ze expected, how could the exhausted rebels be the opponent of the official army?
Lin Ze led the army and easily penetrated the rebels. After repeated back and forth several times, the rebels on the hillside were washed to pieces, losing their last bit of resistance and completely becoming the target of massacre.
Yes, this was a battle in which the army massacred the rebels.
Soon some rebels knelt down and surrendered, trying to save their lives.
It's a pity that the army brought by Lin Ze is so red-eyed under the influence of stimulants that they can't care whether they surrender or not. Let's kill them first.
Half an hour later, more than 10,000 rebels were slaughtered. Lin Zefang ordered: "Cut off the heads of the rebels and take them back to show off their military exploits. The entire army will withdraw to Hangu Pass first."
A general who looked like a captain said from the side: "Commander, the rebels have not yet been crowned. Should we continue to pursue them?"
Lin Ze said with a cold face: "How can we chase the enemy when we don't know where they are? Besides, how much energy do you still have after a charge? To be on the safe side, let's just call it a day."
"Don't be afraid that you will be in vain. As long as you follow me wholeheartedly to put down the rebellion, I will guarantee that you will be promoted to a noble rank."
The captain responded fiercely: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your advice."
Lin Ze said indifferently: "Okay, follow me back to the city." After saying that, he took the first step and returned along the way he came.
…
Hundreds of miles away, Zhou Shi suppressed his injuries and led his 40,000 defeated soldiers into a county controlled by the rebels before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Shi was still frightened by what happened today. He thought that with the help of the king (Chen She), he sacrificed the opportunity to become a master and condensed two hundred acupuncture points in one fell swoop, and he would definitely have a place in the world.
I didn't expect that a general would appear in Qin and be so terrifying.
If he hadn't had the two talismans given by the king to protect him, if he hadn't been good at it, and if the other party hadn't killed them all, he would have died long ago.
Zhou Shi, who originally had full confidence in Zhang Chuguo, felt uneasy for the first time.
