[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 196 [English]

Chapter 189 Snow Soldier

Zhaohui originally thought that Qi Zhuyin had brought reinforcements from Qidong, but he only saw a few dozen soldiers from behind Qi Zhuyin, and couldn’t help but said in confusion: “Commander, this is…”

“I’m not here to fight for you,” Qi Zhuyin began to wrap a strip of cloth around his right palm to prevent the knife handle from slipping when soaked in blood later, “but I’m here to fight with you. From now on, you and this brother will be demoted on the spot, and I will temporarily serve as the commander of the first camp.”

As soon as this statement came out, not only Chao Hui was stunned, but also Guo Weili was stunned for a moment, and then retorted: “No!”

Although Qidong and Libei have always maintained friendly exchanges. In the fourth year of Xiande, they worked together to block the advance of the Biansha cavalry and regained the six states of Zhongbo. However, they are clearly distinct from each other and have never overstepped their control.They can call Qi Zhuyin Commander-in-Chief, but that doesn’t mean they are willing to listen to Qi Zhuyin’s orders.

Upon hearing this, Qi Wei took out a sign from the cloth bag at his waist and threw it to Guo Weili.Guo Weili caught it, turned it over and took a closer look. It turned out to be Xiao Jiming’s waist card.

At this moment, the female wall facing the southeast was smashed, and the remaining gap was filled with single-shot cannons.Although this kind of thing is called a cannon, it is actually a trebuchet. It has a leather socket to load stones, a long pole, and then it is shot out by manpower. Its power is much smaller than the trebuchet brought by Hazen.Hassen’s infantrymen in front carried iron shields and had to slow down to move forward despite the danger of falling rocks.

Chao Hui saw that Qi Zhuyin had drawn the ghost-headed sword, so he quickly followed Qi Zhuyin and said, “There are only 8,000 people left in the first battalion. Hasen visually estimated that there are still 10,000 cavalry. The commander-in-chief wants us to hold on until reinforcements arrive? But the second battalion fell, and reinforcements will have to wait until tomorrow at the latest. In the meantime…”

“What are you doing, mother? This camp wall is four feet thick. Even if the female wall is completely destroyed, it will be difficult to capture. You have enough fuel and two more…” Qi Zhuyin saw the crossbow and said happily, “We forged the crossbow in Qidong.”

“The heavy arrows are not enough,” Zhao Hui saw that Qi Zhuyin just wanted to get on his horse and leave the city, so he said anxiously, “The heavy arrows that were shot can’t be retrieved, and the reserves in the camp won’t last until tomorrow. Commander, why are you asking to kill the dove! Go up to the city wall and say hello, we can fight.”

Qi Zhuyin’s sword is called Zhujiu. She was blocked by Chaohui and said: “Haen’s ten thousand troops have to bear the burden of equipment that they did not have before. In order to maintain the marching speed, he will have to reduce the rations he carries. Therefore, he cannot fight for a long time now. As long as you can endure in the city, you can wait until he retreats.”

Qi Zhuyin said, taking a few steps back and raising his voice: “But if you miss tonight, you will never find such an opportunity again. Hassen treats you as a whetstone, stepping on the prestige of the iron wall to temper his recruits. Don’t be fooled, everyone. The so-called iron wall is just a fig leaf. You can’t be called an iron cavalry if you stick your butt out and get beaten like this.”

Guo Weili tightened his grip on the sign, and Zhaohui felt that the atmosphere was not good.

Qi Zhuyin raised her finger and pointed at the southeast camp gate, her eyes filled with madness. She turned and stared at Guo Weili and said, “Don’t you want to go out with me?”

* * *

Hassen faced Lu Guangbai on the southern battlefield. The border garrison was like a stubborn stone stuck in the gap. Despite the violent attack of the border cavalry, they did not move at all.But Hasen knew the name Qi Zhuyin better. He had fought against Qi Zhuyin as early as the “Feng Yin Lie Ye” raid.

Hasen thinks Qi Zhuyin is two people.

Qi Zhuyin sitting in the big tent and she holding the sword astride the horse are basically two different styles. She can switch freely between “commander” and “chief general”.Unlike the calm and steady Lu Guangbai, she can adapt to changes and use all external factors to bring down her opponents. Otherwise, she would not have achieved the feat of burning down the Thirteenth Battalion in Biansha.

She is a “fickle” type.

The city gate was closed tightly, and the iron shields on the edge of the sand were forced to within five hundred steps by the weakened stone throws.Our iron shield not only protects the human body, but also protects against car crashes.This kind of car is equipped with a huge tree. When it comes to it, the soldiers can use it to break open the camp door. It is a weapon for siege.

Hazen’s cavalry is ready to go. They are divided into hammer scorpions and scimitar elites. The scorpions can replace the scimitars when necessary.Hassen is very patient. He will not give the first battalion any more time to delay. He will break open the camp door and then use these cavalry to slaughter the remaining soldiers from Libei.

The iron shields were very useful, and the Biansha infantry gradually became faster while carrying them.The crashed car was intact between the shields. When they arrived at the camp gate, dozens of people used their strength in unison, slamming against the huge wood so that dust continued to fall from the door.

Hassan raised his hand, ready to charge.

The camp door made a muffled sound, and cracks appeared in the parts that had been hit by the car crash.In order to allow the soldiers in the center to use their strength better, the infantry on both sides removed their iron shields.They shouted and retreated, bumping into each other.The camp door finally burst open with a bang, appearing to be crumbling.

Zhao Hui stepped on the rotten pile, looked down against the wind, and shouted: “Let go!”

The earthen pot was suddenly smashed on the wall, and with the explosion, kerosene poured down, along the wall, and covered the soldiers’ bodies and heads.The flames ignited with a “whoosh”, like several venomous snakes, and suddenly jumped onto the soldiers on the border.The iron shield couldn’t stop the fire. Screams broke out all of a sudden, and the smell of burning flesh filled the air.

The camp gate suddenly moved, and it hung up dully, revealing the war horses waiting behind the gate, as well as the Libei cavalry shrouded in iron armor.Qi Zhuyin entered the battle lightly, carrying the Zhujiu, and rushed out like a shooting star in the hot breath of the war horse.

The next moment, the thunderous hoofs of the cavalry resounded in the snow. They followed Qi Zhuyin and overturned the iron shield in front of the camp gate. As if they were born from the fire, they struck directly at the Biansha cavalry parked behind the infantry like a strong wind.

The scimitar elite immediately retreated, and the scorpions sat firmly on their horses, moving their shoulders and arms at Hassen’s whistle, and faced each other with hammers.They relied on hammers to give the Libei cavalry the harshest lesson. Tonight, they could still smash the cavalry’s helmets.

Zhao Hui stood on the wall, overlooking the battlefield, his chest beating rapidly, and even his breathing was disordered.

Scorpion raised the hammer and swung it at the cavalry’s head in the wind – but the blade penetrated hard from the side. Qi Zhuyin held the handle of the knife with both hands, and with the force of the horse’s forward charge, he lifted the hammer with Zhujiu’s blade, knocking Scorpion off his horse.

As the scorpion rolled off the horse, the heavy armored cavalry reined in their horses and retreated neatly.They retreated neatly and dispersed in an orderly manner.Hasen heard the sound of horse hooves behind the heavy armor, and then saw the light cavalry wielding swords filling in the remaining gaps – that was not the light cavalry, but the Libei iron cavalry who had taken off the heavy armor.

Guo Weili had never been so lighthearted. He put all the grievances he had felt these days into his hands, roared at the top of his lungs along the empty road, and chopped down the scorpion with his long knife.Blood splashed, and he had rushed to the front. The familiar heat returned to his palms, and Guo Weili’s hands were shaking with excitement.

“Damn it…” Guo Weili gasped, almost crying, he shouted with all his strength, “Commander – cool!”

This shout made Zhaohui cry.

Qi Zhuyin laughed loudly, and while the war horse raised its hooves, she raised the Zhujiu high, and as the war horse fell, it suddenly stabbed into the scorpion’s body.

If the Libei Iron Cavalry takes off their heavy armor, wouldn’t they be the Libei Iron Cavalry?Maybe that’s the case, but that’s the Xiao family’s Libei cavalry, not Qi Zhuyin’s Libei cavalry.The reason why the Libei Iron Cavalry was retreating steadily in the snowy fields in the north was that they couldn’t catch up with the ponies. But now, if Hazen’s cavalry wants to attack the city, they must hit the Libei Iron Cavalry’s knife edge themselves.

Guo Weili pierced the scorpion, and he is no longer afraid of the hammer.He has removed his heavy armor. Here, the scorpion’s movements when swinging the hammer appear to be particularly slow. Moreover, the scorpion also has a weakness, that is, they do not have armor in order to maintain speed. As long as they lose the advantage of the hammer, they will still have to splash blood on the battlefield in front of the long sword.

Qi Zhuyin breathed in the hot air and looked at Hasen.From such a long distance, on the bloody battlefield, she stared at Hasen with an extremely cruel look.

Scorpion was precious, and Hasen had to react. He wanted Scorpion to retreat, but as soon as he gave the order, Qi Zhuyin followed Guo Weili and put on heavy armor.She seems to be passive but is actually active. She firmly holds the upper hand tonight. She does not need to pursue, she only needs to stand on a certain boundary line of this battlefield and wait.If Hassen wanted to continue, he would have to kill someone. Everything that was invincible came to nothing with Qi Zhuyin.

Come on.

Qi Zhuyin’s eyes were so provocative that she even gave Hasen a mocking smile and wiped away the blood on the blade.

“Retreat.” Hassen made a decisive decision and would not hesitate to fight.

But Hazen brought equipment, which he had taken great pains to get out of Zhongbo. If he stayed here because of this, it would be a loss for him.When he allocates troops and transfer equipment, some cavalry will slow down and be weighed down by the baggage.

Qi Zhuyin slapped his horse with his sword and chased Guo Weili through the flying snow.She knew that Hassen’s elite would definitely evacuate first. This move was more like coaxing a child. She led the Libei cavalry, who had been chased away by the Biansha cavalry all day long, behind the Biansha cavalry, and frightened them from time to time.

Guo Weili finally vented his anger and wanted to continue chasing, but Qi Zhuyin grabbed him by the collar.

“Go home,” Qi Zhuyin looked at Xueye and suppressed his smile, “If you leave the camp, you will fall into the same predicament again. Hasen is not a person who will run with his tail between his legs. Don’t give him a chance to regain his strength.”

Guo Wei was so elegant that he naturally listened to Qi Zhuyin.When he turned the horse’s head, he said excitedly: “Commander, if you go to Xueye in the future, you will fight like this. Ha Sen will be nothing!”

“Hassen doesn’t have to attack the city in the field, he won’t rush forward, but will outflank you.” Qi Zhuyin thought, “…but tonight it seems that his changes also need to be adjusted.”

Hassen is adding chips to the Biansha Cavalry, but he is too greedy. Tonight’s iron shield is proof that this group of infantry does not bring an advantage to the Biansha Cavalry, but is a burden. They cannot outrun the horses in the snowy fields. Once they fall, they will die and can only be used to attack the city.

Guo Weili wanted to say something else, but Qi Wei suddenly blew the whistle, rode over from the scouts, went to Qi Zhuyin and said, “Commander, there are still soldiers approaching!”

The snow was blown heavily by the wind, and the wind blew loudly. The infantry on foot stepped on the snow nest one foot deep and one foot shallow.They all had their hair blown white by the wind, and they walked around for who knows how long.They seem to be extremely tired, but they are very cohesive. As long as they hear the sound of horse hooves, they can crawl quickly.They are the infantry who are best at fighting ambushes in the world. Before crossing the desert, they were called the border garrison.

Qi Zhuyin dismounted and faced the leading man through the heavy snow.She is so familiar with this army that she can recognize who he is just based on Qi Wei’s detailed report.

The man took off the cloth covering his face and stood there panting with a stubble.He has been away for too long, it seems like a world away.He showed a smile and said tiredly: “…Commander, I am a reinforcement.”

It was Lu Guangbai who defected.
