Chapter 709 The Reinforcement Arrived in Time
The exciting drums sounded suddenly, making the soldiers of Daqin, who were already a little desperate, suddenly excited.
Because this is the drumbeat of the Daqin army's attack.
All the soldiers looked in the direction of the sound of the drum.
They heard neither wrong nor misread.
There was indeed a troop in the darkness, and it was cavalry.
Even in the black clothes, they recognized that this was the Great Qin Iron Cavalry.
But at this time, how could other Daqin troops appear in this place?This is simply impossible.
This army quickly tore through the enemy's encirclement. In front of them, the natives were simply vulnerable.
This is the performance that the generals of the Great Qin should have, because the Qin army is well-equipped and advanced in combat methods, which are not comparable to these natives.
As soon as the two sides fought, the natives were beaten and retreated steadily.
Seeing that things were not going well, the indigenous leader didn't bother to fight, so he directly gave the order to retreat.
This made all the soldiers of the advance team who were surrounded breathe a sigh of relief.
And the leader who came to support them was none other than Ying Yu.
The moment they saw Ying Yu, all the soldiers felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
No one thought that it was His Majesty who came to support him personally.
At this time, Qinglong was full of guilt.
Ying Yu gave him the important position of pioneer, but he almost died following his three thousand Qin army.
In the end, His Majesty the Emperor was needed to personally lead the troops to rescue them.
This is dereliction of duty. After seeing Ying Yu, Qinglong hurried forward and knelt down on one knee:
"See Your Majesty, you should die, you have failed His Majesty's high expectations."
If Ying Yu hadn't led the army to arrive today, the advance troops would have been wiped out.
Although they were saved now, Qinglong still didn't know why Ying Yu was able to lead the troops to appear in such a timely manner.
As the advance troops to explore the road, they marched at a speed that needless to say, and they marched at full strength in the last two days.
Logically speaking, Ying Yu, who had already fallen behind by some distance, would not be able to catch up even if he was leading the charge with all his strength.
But now, Ying Yu was standing in front of him, and she was not alone.
Looking at Qinglong who was kneeling in front of her with a guilty expression, Ying Yu didn't blame him.
At this moment, the soldiers of the advance troops, almost all of them, looked a little sluggish.
Their mental state is not particularly good, and some soldiers have even started to wobble standing there.
This is the performance after exhaustion. In this case, what kind of fighting power will there be.
There is no point in pursuing responsibility at this moment.
Ying Yu waved his hand to signal Qinglong to get up, and at the same time ordered the advance troops to rest.
Afterwards, Ying Yu came to the big tent. Seeing this, Qinglong hurriedly followed Ying Yu.
"Tell me, what happened during this period of time."
When Qinglong heard the words, he naturally didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately narrated everything that happened during this period of time.
After Ying Yu learned the details, he was also deeply moved.
Qinglong and the others were able to walk out of the dense jungle smoothly, thanks to the military doctor.
If it weren't for the medicine they prepared, which temporarily suppressed the adverse reactions of the soldiers, they might not survive the time to get out of the jungle.
Of course, there is also Qinglong's decisiveness. If he hadn't ordered decisively at the last moment and led the contingent to rush out at an accelerated pace, it would be difficult to say what the consequences would be.
The reason why Ying Yu came to support in time was because after he sent someone to send orders to Qinglong, he still felt uneasy.
Because the soldiers of Daqin came to this place for the first time, and their experience in jungle warfare was almost zero.
Under such circumstances, it would be very troublesome to be attacked by the local natives.
That's why he led the cavalry on the starry night, so that he could appear in time.
Because of the news from the dispatched troops, Ying Yu had some understanding of the local terrain.
Therefore, the cavalry he led did not advance through the dense jungle, but chose to detour.
Although the distance was a bit longer, it was not a big deal at the marching speed of the cavalry.
Moreover, the jungle where Qinglong and the others walked was too dense, which was not conducive to cavalry marching, so a detour was the best choice.
It is precisely because of this that they can catch up with the advance troops at the last moment and save them.
At this moment, the crisis is being resolved.
For these exhausted soldiers, as long as they have enough time to rest, they will still be alive and well.
The group of natives didn't achieve any results today, and they will completely lose their chances in the future.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go back and lead the army?"
When Ying Yu dispatched the advance troops, he had already emphasized that the large logistics force was the top priority of this operation, and he had to sit in charge in person to be at ease.
But for the safety of the advance troops, Ying Yu still left the main force.
At this moment, apart from feeling sorry for himself, Qinglong was also very worried about the safety of the large troops in the rear.
"The large logistical force should still be a few days away from the edge of the jungle, and they have time to send the letter back. As long as they bypass this dense jungle, there is no danger, so we will not go back."
"The order goes on, the army rests on the spot for two days, so that the soldiers can take a good rest before setting off."
Before Ying Yu came, he had already made proper arrangements.
Although it will take some time to bypass the dense jungle, safety is guaranteed.
This time, Ying Yu didn't bring many people. The large army behind and the advance team only had 5000 people in total.
But in this land, it is already considered an invincible force.
The purpose of Ying Yu's trip is also to build a factory here. Since it is a factory, it needs workers.
As for the source of workers, Ying Yu intends to hire local aborigines.
Since it's an employment, you can't use brute force, you have to build a good relationship first.
Previously, the aborigines who ambushed the Qin advance team were a good choice.
Their number is not small, and they live by plundering, which is definitely a scourge that cannot be ignored in the local area.
If Ying Yu came here, except for this disaster, it would be considered a gift to the local aborigines.
With such a good start, it will be much easier to discuss other things later.
Therefore, Ying Yu decided that during the few days waiting for the large logistics force, he would personally lead the troops here to destroy the natives in the jungle.
Of course, Ying Yu already had a plan for the specific method.
He didn't intend to go deep into the jungle and play hiding games with this group of natives who had the right time and place.
