Chapter 226 Bandage Him
It is said in military books: Sending troops deep into the enemy territory without any reinforcements is a big taboo in military operations.
That is, it is a major taboo in military strategy for a lone army to advance deep into the enemy's controlled area without any support.
As the saying goes, if a soldier goes deep into the enemy's territory alone, he will be crippled even if he doesn't die.
Liaodong County Wei Le Guicai saw this clearly and led the Liaodong County army to pursue them relentlessly. At the same time, he ordered other teams that were summoned for support to attack the Xianbei army together with the main force.
And the results were obvious. This time they were chasing the opponent and attacking.
Seeing that the enemy was about to form a siege, Tuoba Lian became anxious and immediately activated the emergency plan.
He led a team of elite soldiers to break out, while his left and right generals and most of the remaining soldiers stayed behind to cover their retreat.
The left and right generals Helan Hui and He Xiji looked at each other, and then they joined forces to attack the enemy leader Le Guicai.
As soon as they moved, all their subordinates followed suit and charged forward.
At Le Guicai's command, the generals around him took the lead and faced the enemy head-on.
The Xianbei people were tall and strong. Helan Hui and He Xiji, as generals, were better at fighting than their soldiers and were also better than the middle-level generals on the Dali side.
Le Guicai's generals were gradually defeated. He saw that the generals around him were fighting each other, so he took up his weapons without saying a word.
However, Helan Hui and He Xiji were well aware of the current crisis. They only attacked and did not defend at all. This desperate fighting style, coupled with their great strength, meant that Le Guicai and several of his generals were gradually defeated by them.
At this critical moment, Qin Sheng arrived with Zhou Da, Ma Jin and his party.
They had just encountered a Xianbei group of nearly a hundred people, took care of them all, and rescued Qin Zhao and his group, so they arrived late.
Seeing Le Guicai and others in danger, Qin Sheng rushed forward with the confiscated red tassel spear. Seeing this, the others immediately joined the battle, fighting against the Xianbei soldiers and generals.
Qin Sheng's joining greatly relieved the pressure on Le Guicai and others.
Qin Sheng protected Le Guicai thoroughly.
Helan Hui and He Xiji directly gave up attacking others and joined forces to attack Qin Sheng.
Faced with the two men's desperate fighting style, Qin Sheng was not afraid at all.
Helan Hui and He Xiji looked at each other and decided to fight to the death.
Seeing this, Le Gui couldn't help but shout, "Be careful!"
He was hugged by He Xiji, and Helan Hui attacked him from behind.
Being attacked from both sides, Qin Sheng directly used the same move of throwing a gun from behind that he had used when he was sparring with his third brother on the road to exile.
After throwing the spear, he kicked He Xiji away.
He Lanhui behind him opened his pupils wide as he watched the sharp gun tip shooting straight at his face.
By the time he realized he needed to dodge, it was too late. The spear finally pierced his forehead, and he died with his eyes open.
Only after Qin Sheng killed He Xiji did he stop and breathe slightly.
"Okay, okay, what's your name?" Le Guicai looked at the heroic Qin Sheng, his eyes shining, and he said three good words in a row.
Qin Sheng's kung fu was so superb that he not only resolved his crisis at the beginning, but also killed Tuoba Lian's two deputy generals one after another at his hands. The key point was that he was almost unharmed.
The other generals also looked at him with admiration.
"My name is Qin Sheng, and I'm here to meet the County Magistrate."
"Qin Sheng, where are you currently working?"
Qin Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiangping Military Station."
"Qin? Who is Qin Heng to you?" Le Guicai suddenly asked.
"He's my eldest brother."
Just now when they were chasing Tuoba Lian, a small team attacked the enemy from the flank. Le Gui then discovered that there was a small team of 20 to 30 people on their side. From the marching coordination and other aspects, it can be seen that the team leader has the ability to command the army.
He asked the team leader's name, and he was told that his name was Qin Heng. He thought at the time that he was indeed the son of Qin Yue, the Marquis of Pingxi.
Le Guicai looked around and asked about Qin Heng, only to find out that Qin Heng was not there at the moment. He had taken people to clean up the battlefield and assist military doctors in treating the wounded.
Le Guicai was about to ask Qin Sheng some more questions when his confidant came over, obviously having something important to report, so he had to stop.
"Your name is Qin Sheng, and you're in the Xiangping military settlement, right?"
"Yes."
Le Guicai nodded and said, "You seem to be injured just now. Go down and take care of it first."
So Qin Sheng withdrew.
Le Guicai's confidant then reported to him that the magistrate of Houcheng County came to pay a visit.
While waiting for the Houcheng County Magistrate, Le Gui looked towards the north.
Le Guicai felt very sorry for Tuoba Lian who had escaped from the Dali border and returned to the northern grasslands. He could not complete the task in one battle and could only withdraw his troops regretfully. However, they also achieved a great victory this time!
Zheng Qiao, the magistrate of Houcheng County, came to visit Le Guicai and thank him for sending troops to drive away Tuoba Lian.
In fact, he was almost crying. What a sin he had committed. He had finally survived a winter, and the Xianbei withdrew. He had thought he could live in peace for the better part of six months, but who knew that after just two months of peaceful life, the Xianbei would start making trouble again.
Le Guicai naturally had to comfort him with a few words, so he kept him and talked to him for a while.
Tuoba Lian, who had just returned to the safe zone of the northern grassland, was also in a bad mood, and his face was very gloomy.
He never expected that he would suffer such a big defeat this time.
In fact, Tuoba Lian lost this time because of his arrogance.
The Xianbei people always regarded the border area north of Dali as their backyard, such as Liaodong County, Liaoxi County, Youbeiping County, Yuyang County, Shanggu County and other areas bordering their northern grasslands.
Among them, they were less fond of going to Shanggu County and Yuyang County because they were close to the heartland of the Central Plains and there was a possibility of reinforcement of troops at any time.
They can come to Liaodong County, Liaoxi County, and Youbeiping County whenever they want.
This time, too, Tuoba Lian's original intention was to fight a quick battle, and he attacked the enemy by surprise, expecting to capture the person and then withdraw calmly.
Who knew Liaodong would react so quickly! Now that the generals on both sides have left, he is the only one left, a major general with nothing, returning to the northern grasslands. He doesn't know how the other brothers will laugh at him.
Qin Sheng went to see his third brother, who was slightly injured.
Qin Zhao is bandaging his wound now.
"Sixth Young Master, did that guy hit your arm just now?"
"I avoided it."
Qin Zhao heard the soldier say he was injured. Without hearing his reply, he looked up and asked, "Are you injured?"
Before Qin Sheng could answer, he heard Qin Zhao order, "Hurry up and bandage your Sixth Young Master as well."
The soldier wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Qin Sheng was about to say no when he heard Qin Zhao nagging him, "Why are you so careless? If my sixth sister-in-law knew, she would worry too much—"
By this time he had bandaged it, so he walked towards him while talking, wanting to see his wound.
When he saw his wound, Qin Zhao stopped talking and said, "Forget it, just ignore what I said just now."
After the soldier helped Qin Zhao treat his wound, Qin Zhao went to do other things.
Qin Sheng thought about it and whispered to a personal soldier, "Help me tie it up too." After all, he had also seen blood.
Upon hearing the order, the soldier quickly rolled it up for him a few times.
