Chapter 140: Picking Fruit
Although it was extremely unbelievable, after Shang Ji showed Luo Duo's head and the Xianbei Golden Scepter, Qin Ping accepted Liu Yi's statement.
But in this way, Qin Ping was embarrassed.
At the beginning, Wang Tong and Tian Yue teamed up to squeeze Qin Ping out of Xiangping and ordered him to lead the army to support Heishuisai. Although he knew that he would die nine times and die, Qin Ping still gladly accepted the order and immediately set off with two thousand men and horses from his headquarters.
And then it gets tough.
Originally, the county town sent 10,000 troops, and the nearby counties jointly transferred 10,000 troops to form an army of 20,000 to jointly support Heishuisai. However, except for the 2,000 men and horses of Qin Ping's headquarters, all the other departments in the county refused to dispatch. Not everyone has Qin Ping's spirit of seeing death as home.
However, Wang Tong and Tian Yue did not specify which troops would go to support, which led to the various departments passing the buck to each other. went to ask to see the county lieutenant and the taishou, but refused to meet him on the grounds that the military situation was busy.
In desperation, Qin Ping had no choice but to take the two thousand men and horses of his headquarters on the road with grief and anger!
Then the transfer of manpower to the counties also met with resistance.
Of course, the counties hoped that there would be a Black Water Plug in front of them to help stop the Xianbei army, but they did not want to draw troops from themselves. So they all kinds of prevarications.
Qin Ping wasted the power of nine cows and two tigers, Xiaozhi used emotion and reason, coupled with all kinds of coercion and temptation, he finally made up 8,000 troops. Converge with the two thousand troops of Qin Ping's headquarters, a total of 10,000 troops.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Ping delayed the date.
In order to transfer troops in the county town, he completely offended the county lieutenant and the taishou. Then he also offended the officials in the local area, just to go to Heishui to kill the enemy and defend the country.
After a lot of hardships, I finally reached the black water plug, and then told you: sorry, you are late, we have reached the end of the fight!
No one can stand this!
With Qin Ping's temperament, he couldn't help but feel dizzy for a while, and sighed in his heart that creation made people!
In the end, Qin Ping still didn't leave, and was temporarily stationed in Heishuisai.
Because I originally came with the idea of martyrdom, I didn't think about leaving a way back, which led to this dramatic scene now - the battle is over, but the reinforcements have nowhere to go!
In the county town, the county lieutenant Taishou jointly squeezed out, coupled with a bad incident before the expedition, there was no place for Qin Ping in Xiangping City.
In the end, Shang Ji saw that he was enthusiastic, and it was unlikely that Qin Pingshang would report to the county guard under the current situation, so he agreed to take him in and allow him to stay in Heishuisai in the form of a temporary residence.
Of course, Shang Ji would not admit that he had taken a fancy to the 10,000 army brought by Qin Ping!
At present, Shang Ji is a fake captain, although he is temporary, but he is also qualified to command an army of 50,000.
And Shang Ji had a total of 10,000 troops under his command, only one-fifth of the full strength. Although the morale of the army brought by Qin Ping was generally low, except for the two thousand men in his headquarters. But the hard power is not bad, they are all regular soldiers of the third level, and with a little training, they can become the general warriors of the Black Armor Army!
And if Shang Ji recruits 10,000 people from beginning to end, even if the army supply is sufficient, it will cost at least 100,000 gold coins!
Although the merchant has abundant funds now, he can save 100,000 gold coins, so why not do it?
After arranging Qin Ping properly, Shang Ji began to be busy.
First of all, it is necessary to report the results to the county office to quell the riots caused by the Xianbei invasion as soon as possible. Then there are the loot that has not been processed before and also needs to be dealt with urgently.
The last and most urgent one - to go to Xianbei!
Because Luo Duo had exhausted all the troops in the Jiegu Department before, and now that the 100,000 army has been wiped out, the Jiegu Department has become a ripe fruit, just waiting to be picked.
After arranging everything in the black water plug a little, Shang Ji hurriedly embarked on the road of conquering Xianbei again.
There are a lot of troops who came this time, because the current Jiegu Department is in a completely undefended state, so in addition to leaving the heavy armored sword soldiers and giant axe soldiers who are not good at mobility to guard the Black Water Plug, the other armies with strong mobility are all dispatched, and they are swarming to the Jiegu Department!
Even Qin Ping, who had just arrived, sent five hundred cavalry to support the battle.
However, despite Shang Ji's hurry, he was still a little late in the end.
The news that Luo Duo had died in battle and that the 100,000-strong army had been wiped out had been transmitted back to the Jiegu Division.
One can imagine how panicked the drum department was after receiving the news.
More than a dozen large and small settlements immediately began to relocate.
The mobility advantage of the nomads was reflected at this time, and after a few hours, the original Yiluo became a wasteland, and the Shang Ji had no choice but to leave behind the ordinary infantry with limited mobility and rush to intercept it with the dragon archers and the black armor Xuan cavalry.
After all, it was a transfer of dragging the family with a mouth, and of course the speed was not as fast as that of the Shang Ji, and several tribes that moved slower were caught up by the Shang Ji, and there was almost no need to fight, and the few stubborn armed forces were wiped out, and then only need to deter and intimidate, and the remaining ordinary herdsmen obediently succumbed.
However, Shang Ji's harvest was only there, and when Shang Ji pursued again, he found the receiving army of the surrounding Xianbei tribes.
The Shang army was small in number, and they needed to take care of a large amount of loot, so they did not dare to fight rashly. The enemy did not know the details of the Shang army, and was afraid that Luo Duo's 100,000 army would be wiped out so quickly, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
In this way, the two armies each threw their own weapons, looked at each other from a distance, and then retreated one after another.
Shang Ji also knew that his situation was not good, if the nearby tribal army figured out his own reality and jointly attacked, not to mention the spoils of war, it was still two words whether he could successfully withdraw from the grassland.
Therefore, Shang Ji was not greedy, and accepted it when he saw it, and immediately ordered the army to retreat and return to Heishuisai after making contact with the army in the rear.
Even the return to Heishuisai did not go well, with several Xianbei armies of different tribes following behind, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder the booty of the merchants.
At first, Shang Ji ignored them, until an army got closer and closer, and entered the range of ten kilometers!
Shang Ji decisively led the newly advanced Black Armor Xuanqi to take the initiative to attack, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a group charge completely defeated this bold Xianbei army!
If it weren't for the urgency of time, Shang Ji would have been able to wipe out none of them!
Thousands of enemies were annihilated, and the black armor Xuanqi himself was killed by zero! The only part of the injured was minor!
The strength of the black armor Xuanqi completely suppressed the ill-intentioned Xianbei people, and the remaining Xianbei army was hanging far away, but there was no longer the one who dared to attack, not even daring to approach.
As if seeing them off, the Xianbei army watched as the Black Armor Army escorted a large number of Xianbei herdsmen and a large number of cattle, sheep and horses back to Han.
It was not until all the Shang army entered the territory of the Han Dynasty that the Xianbei army retreated reluctantly like a girl bidding farewell to her lover.
