After arranging the strategy against the enemy, Shen Bing did two things.
First, drive the flock to Pingyuanchuan District for breeding.
This is done for combat considerations... Tuoba, who has lived in mountains for a long time, must be good at fighting in mountains.
Mountainous areas are not only not suitable for the Qin army to set up formations, but also not suitable for strong crossbow shooting... The advantage of strong crossbows is that their range is long, and their disadvantage is that their trajectory is straight.
Mountain areas often turn here and there, and the enemy appears close at the close range, so it is difficult to exert the advantages of long range.
If the terrain is ups and downs, the ballistics of the strong crossbow are too straight and cannot hit the target that hides in the low places or is blocked by stones.
In short, the advantages of the crossbow cannot be exerted, but the disadvantages will be magnified.
On the contrary, the bow and arrow in the enemy's hands can play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses and play to their strengths.
Of course, Shen Bing would not let such a thing happen, so he preset the battlefield in the northern plains.
This can also be said to lead the snake out of the hole:
Since your Tuoba family has fallen in love with the flock of the Qin army and wants to take revenge because the Qin army rescued the Li family village, you will naturally come to the plain to settle the score with the Qin army and grab the sheep.
In addition, Shen Bing preserved his strength and showed that he had only one thousand infantry and a hundred personal guards... He was not afraid that Tuoba would not be deceived.
If there is any problem, it is because there are no water conservancy facilities in the northern Sichuan area, which is relatively dry, with few grasslands and poor quality.
However, this is also easy to solve. Just send some people to the northern mountainous areas to mow grass and transport it.
Another thing Chen Bing did was to go to the village to Liqing.
Chen Bing brought dozens of healing belts to Shang Liqing.
The reason why healing belt was valuable in the past was that the price of cloth was not low. At this time, the North could already be mass-produced with water trucks, and the rest was to fill the cloth with wood ash, so the production was extremely cheap.
At this time, Xiang Liqingzheng led his subordinates to take care of the wounded. Seeing that Chen Bing was carrying a healing belt, he nodded to Chen Bing gratefully and took it.
"I hope you and your villagers can move out of the mountains to the plains!" Chen Bing bandaged the villagers and said, "Because we plan to fight the Tuoba family there. If you stay here, we can't do it for you and yours. Villagers provide protection!”
Qian Liqing just smiled:
"Do you know how many people will Tuoba bring?"
Chen Bing replied indifferently:
"Two thousand, three thousand, or even more?"
Going to Liqing:
"You have five thousand sheep, which is enough to send them three thousand people to rob them."
"They are determined to win!"
He was relieved to hear Li Qing say this, Chen Bing was afraid that there were not many people from the Tuoba clan.
After pausing, Chen Bing asked:
"So, it was my sheep who harmed you?"
Xiang Liqing stopped the movements in his hand and raised his head, with a little apology in his eyes:
"No, you said it was wrong!"
"The Tuoba family has been chasing us. If it weren't for us, they might not have found your flock."
Chen Bing smiled and said nothing.
What Chang Liqing didn’t know was that there was no question of who harmed whom.
If it is really harmful to anyone, it is to benefit the Tuoba family.
Chen Bing returned to the topic and asked:
"When will you go to the plain?"
After silent for a while, he replied:
"We won't go to the plains."
Chen Bing asked unexpectedly:
"Why?"
Xiang Liqing stood up and replied:
“We can’t survive without the mountains.”
"We will go to another place, hoping to attract some Tuoba clans."
Chen Bing understood that Qian Liqing still did not believe that Chen Bing and his group could defeat the Tuoba family, so he chose this worst strategy of "dividing troops".
After thinking about it, Chen Bing said:
"Why don't we defeat the Tuoba family together?"
Qian Liqing asked without thinking:
"Just because of us?"
Chen Bing replied:
"Are you scared?"
Turning towards Li Qing, staring at Chen Bing angrily, clenching his fists as if he wanted to rush up to fight Chen Bing... But in the end she still held it back.
"We only have more than three hundred warriors, and many are injured."
"If we stay? You will face the danger of extermination!"
What Li Qing said is right? She is considering the overall situation... More than 300 people did not have the capital to fight the Tuoba family to death.
If she stayed to fight to the death, her tribe would have been destroyed or annexed long ago.
Don't force the soldiers.
After all, there is no problem with the practice of Chang Liqing.
The Tuoba family would definitely come here to look for it first? Then they bumped into the Qin army first? And then... nothing happened.
So Chen Bing was not worried about the safety of Xiang Liqing and the villagers, as long as they left here, it would be safe.
only……
Chen Bing glanced at the wounded.
Qian Liqing seemed to understand the meaning of Chen Bing's expression? Answered:
"They will stay here."
Shen Bing is not surprised.
Because if they were taken away with the wounded, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of Tuoba clan? Even if the Qin army defeated Tuoba clan, they were no exception.
This is somewhat like the jungle law of the fittest? The weak will be abandoned for the sake of overall interests.
Shen Bing did not ask that these wounded people be left to the Qin army.
Because Chen Bing knew that if Li Qing thought that the Qin army could not defeat the Tuoba clan, then there would be no difference between handing over the wounded to the Qin army.
Chen Bing respects the choice of Shang Liqing, so he can only walk away silently?
Chen Bing saw a "savage man" working hard to drill wood to make fire.
Chen Bing took out the fire stick and blew it a few times? Then he lit the haystack in front of him.
Unexpectedly, this inadvertent action made the "savage" scream out loud as if he saw a ghost, and then knelt on the ground and put his hands on his back to provoke.
Soon everyone fell to their knees around Shen Bing.
Chen Bing looked at Li Qing in confusion, and found that she was also kneeling on the ground, staring blankly at the fire pie in Chen Bing's hand? His face was full of surprise and confusion.
Chen Bing's puzzled question:
"Why are they like this?"
Qian Liqing asked in horror:
"You can control the fire?"
"Is it the Vulcan taught you?"
Only then did Chen Bing realize that Huozhezi was in the limelight.
It is said that many ethnic minorities worship fire? Because fire can solve many problems for them, such as heating, cooking food, lighting, etc.
And it is always difficult for them to get fire? So they always keep the fire burning. This time, the fire was extinguished because of attack.
Zhao Xiangguang, the tribe of Liqing is also one of the primitive tribes that worship Fire.
Chen Bing doesn’t want to explain more? If you want to explain this, you have to add paper and saltpeter? I’m afraid that the more you talk, you will become more and more messy.
So he just said:
"Are you waiting to leave quickly? I'm afraid it's too late!"
He said that, he turned around and left.
However, before taking a few steps toward Liqing, he chased after him from behind.
"We will fight with you!" said Xiang Liqing: "They think they should follow the messenger of the Vulcan God!"
Chen Bing replied with a bitter smile.
He didn't expect that he had to spend a lot of time on his words, so he might as well burn this fire break.
