The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 703 Sneak Attack [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

This kind of fight between weaklings that can't even be called a small-scale battle really doesn't require the central army shogunate to command and dispatch.

One centurion can recapture a city, and there is no need to let the central army shogunate take command and dispatch.

If you can't even beat a bunch of noobs, you'd better go back to Bingzhou. There's no need to come out and embarrass yourself.

After informing the officers at all levels and the nobles of Qi about the attitude of the Central Army Shogunate, Li Ren no longer cared about anything else.

As for the powerful people in Qi State, they also knew that this matter, which seemed like a big deal to them, was really not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Bingzhou army, and there was no need to alarm Li Ren.

Moreover, the cost of inviting the Central Army Shogunate is completely different from the cost they would have to pay to hire a centurion themselves.

If we ask Li Ren to dispatch troops, it will take at least several hundred thousand. But if we ask a centurion to dispatch a few thousand troops, it may be enough.

After waiting for nearly a month, Xiang Ji finally got his chance.

"clang~" Xiang Ji could not enter the Bingzhou military camp, nor could he contact the senior generals in the Bingzhou military camp.

So he squatted outside the Bingzhou camp and waited for a long time, and finally waited for the opportunity for Yun to leave the camp in anger.

Upon hearing the gunshots, the Bingzhou soldiers immediately looked for cover and observed their surroundings.

Yun swung the spear in his hand in an angry manner and fired a shot in the direction where Xiang Ji was jumping.

When the other soldiers saw Yun’s angry attack, they reacted immediately and their spears flew out of their hands in an instant.

"Be careful!" Yun Damu also saw clearly that the person who attacked was Xiang Ji. His figure appeared beside Xiang Ji even faster, and he swung his spear to sweep away all the flying spears.

Xiang Ji was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

His original intention was to launch a surprise attack on Yun Damu and regain the city, but he did not expect the Bingzhou soldiers to be so terrifying.

"Young master of the Xiang family, why didn't you evacuate with the Chu army?" Yun frowned and looked at Xiang Ji angrily.

Compared to Xiang Ji's fear, he was more afraid that Xiang Ji would die here.

If he hadn't acted faster, Xiang Ji would have been half dead by now.

The Bingzhou soldiers were a little confused when they saw Yun getting furious and trying to protect Xiang Ji, but they still formed a formation of threes to block any possible directions that Xiang Ji might escape and attack.

"I said I would come to you to get my spear back!" Xiang Ji stood up and looked at Yun angrily with a fighting spirit.

"This is how you get it back. If I hadn't helped, you would be dead now!" Yun was furious and a little angry.

Even if a sneak attack on a Bingzhou centurion outside the military camp is successful, he will be killed by other angry soldiers.

Xiang Ji didn't say anything else. He really didn't expect the Bingzhou soldiers to react so quickly.

In addition to those javelin-throwing soldiers, there were also many archers behind the cover in the rear who had already drawn their bows and aimed at him.

If Yun Da Nu had not stood in front of Xiang Ji and prevented the archers from shooting, Xiang Ji would probably have been shot into a hedgehog by now.

"What are you doing here?" Yun was furious and somewhat puzzled by Xiang Ji's behavior.

The young master of the Xiang family came to attack this centurion. Even if he succeeded, it would not be worthwhile to exchange a young master for a centurion.

"I want to learn your gun move!" Xiang Ji looked at Yun expectantly and angrily.

Yun frowned in anger. The Return Shot was taught by His Majesty himself. It was a high-level martial art among the Bingzhou army and would not be easily passed on to outsiders.

"Why should I teach you? Just because you are the young master of the Xiang family?" Yun laughed angrily, he was laughing out of anger.

"Isn't that enough?" Xiang Ji asked. "Would you like me to do the math for you? The first time the Tenglong Corps attacked my Bingzhou camp, 3,720 people were killed or wounded. The second time they attacked my Bingzhou Right Guard Camp, more than 2,500 people were killed or wounded, and more than 2,200 were captured."

"You, the Xiang family, may have a high status in Chu State, and everyone will give you some face, but in the eyes of Bingzhou, you are not even as good as Hun Geng!"

"Who is Hun Geng?" Xiang Ji frowned.

"Hun Geng is just a small tribe in the northern part of Bingzhou." Yun said angrily with a hint of sarcasm.

At least the Bingzhou army had to dispatch 5,000 blood cavalry to capture the Hun Geng tribe, while the Tenglong Legion, with all its elite troops, couldn't even defeat the Youwei Camp.

"That's because the Tenglong Legion is not as good as the Bingzhou Camp, not because I am inferior!" Xiang Ji was dissatisfied with Yun Dafu for comparing him to a barbarian tribe.

Yun frowned even more furiously. As the young master of an army, shouldn't he look for the reasons for the army's weakness from within himself? Instead, he attributed the defeat to the soldiers?
This is not the responsibility that a qualified leader should have.

"If you were in Bingzhou, you would be brought to the Bingzhou Military Court and executed just for this sentence!" Yun was furious and his initial good impression of Xiang Ji disappeared.

He knew Han Xin, who was not much older than Xiang Ji, but was already the commander of an army and the commander of the Red Flame Cavalry.

Han Xin once said something that was engraved on the school motto of Gaoquesai Military Academy.

"There are no useless soldiers, only generals who don't know how to use them!"

The meaning is very simple. No matter how useless a soldier is, he or she has a skill. As a general, you should know how to use the soldiers' strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

"Go away! Bingzhou does not welcome people like you who blame their failure on others!" Yun angrily threw Xiang Ji's spear back.

Originally, he thought Xiang Ji had the talent to challenge his own genius, so he kept Xiang Ji's spear. Now, he felt that this spear was not worthy of appearing in his gun bag, and it would only insult his gun bag.

Yun was furious and ignored Xiang Ji, and continued to rush to the battlefield with his team of 100 men.

He received an invitation from the magistrate of a county in Qi State, asking him to go and help recapture the lost city.

He originally had some liking for Xiang Ji's talent and wanted to guide him, but Xiang Ji's character disappointed him.

He had seen many geniuses, and there were also many people in Bingzhou who were born with supernatural powers, such as the Weiwei General Dianqing and the vanguard general Wushuang, all of them were born with supernatural powers and had iron skin and bones.

But between these two, who has ever slacked off, and who has not humbly sought advice?

Even though General Wushuang was mentally handicapped, he was very aware of his own shortcomings. Whatever the Second Madam asked him to do, he would do it meticulously without any slacking off, and he would never make excuses for himself not to complete it.

Yun was furious. He thought that after two major defeats, Xiang Ji, who was defeated by him again, would recognize himself and work hard to become stronger.

But I didn't expect that he was just a guy who could only bark.

Although he was born into a noble family, he did not learn the humility of the nobility, but he learned the noble dandyism to the fullest.

Xiang Ji was confused. He was born with supernatural powers and was from the Xiang family. In the entire Chu State, only others begged him to be their disciple, and no one had ever refused him.

Even if it was General Lian Po, if he wanted to learn the art of war, the other party would not refuse to teach him.

How come when he arrived in Bingzhou, a centurion dared to refuse him?

But when he saw Yun Danu throwing his spear made of deep-sea cold iron with disdain and even disgust, he could clearly feel that Yun Danu was disgusted with him, and disdained that the spear had dirty his hands and gun bag.

"You will regret it!" Xiang Ji pulled out the spear that was stuck in the ground and shouted angrily at Yun's back as he walked away.

Yun sneered angrily, then continued to march with his soldiers without even turning his head.
