Chapter 879: Encounter

"Take off." The ground crew shouted loudly. The airship slowly left the ground and flew up into the sky. The ground crews waved their own hats with their hands, indicating that the pilots could return safely.

Their battlefield is the sky. The steepness of the sky is unimaginable by those on the ground.

The airship is slowly taking off. On the other side is the north of Qin State. A train is speeding on the northern railway.

"Woohoo." The steam train made a whistle. On the train behind, slowly soldiers were loaded. They are all soldiers of the Third Infantry Division of the State of Qin. They are Qin's reserve team. Now they have to perform a special task. That is to suppress the slave uprising in the north. They are all lightly packed. They only carried their belongings, backpacks, weapons, etc. Some other things need to be gathered in the north.

They are rapid reaction forces, such fast maneuvers. They have also accepted it before. Before, they often received such exercise orders. This time, after they received the alarm, they packed up as in the original exercise, quickly assembled, and then waited for the officer's order. Finally, they boarded the train collectively and went to a strange place. Get out of the car and receive the order to fight. After repeated drills, they have become accustomed to such things.

"Huh." Some soldiers in the carriage are already very familiar with this. They are very bored of arriving by train. I think the internal train travels for a long time. They usually need to travel a day and a night. Such a long wait is very time consuming. Take advantage of this rare free time. Soldiers usually doze off.

"Huh." The train galloped on the railway. They want to reach the north as quickly as possible. This is an army. All of them were Qin soldiers armed to their teeth, and no one knew what they were going to do.

"Ding ding ding ding." Just when the train was sprinting fast. The signal lights on both sides of the road gave a temporary stop signal. A temporary parking site issued such a signal in advance. Use the principle of circuit signals. The railway system of Qin State is on track.

"Oh." Then the train driver received the signal. Then start to stop.

"Squeak." The train wheels and rails creaked. At the same time sparks appeared. This is an emergency quick stop. Such parking is a serious injury to the train.

"Ouch." The sudden temporary stop caused many soldiers to be under the influence of inertia. Fell under the seat.

"Something happened." The sleeping soldier turned into a mess under the effect of inertia. Many soldiers squeezed into a mess. They cannot maintain balance.

"Look at it quickly. What happened." The duty officer said loudly after maintaining his balance.

"What's the matter?" Many soldiers were sleepy. They don't even know what happened. As a result, the train has to stop in such an emergency.

"Woo." The train finally stopped due to severe wheel friction.

"What happened?" a lieutenant on duty shouted loudly.

"Slaves. Slaves. The slaves ahead are destroying the railway. We need your help." A railroad worker shouted hastily. His cry was a little anxious.

"That's why the train stopped urgently." The lieutenant exclaimed a little annoyed.

"Yes. That's it." The railroad worker said expectantly.

"However, we did not receive the order." The lieutenant was a little confused. Because this kind of thing happened too suddenly.

"Lieutenant, order our people to get off the train immediately. Prepare for battle." A well-dressed major behind him said as he stepped off the train firmly at this time.

"Assemble." The major said calmly.

"Assemble. Quick. Assemble." The lieutenant immediately issued an order.

"Get together," the lieutenant called out loudly. And the order was heard on the train. They quickly picked up their weapons and equipment and quickly ran off the train.

"Don't worry, speak slowly. What kind of situation is the slave?" The major said calmly, looking at the railroad worker.

"Five miles ahead. There is a ranch. A group of slaves are coming here. I saw them tearing down the rails and heading towards us." said the railroad worker.

"Oh." The major just agreed.

"So, how many of them are there?" the major asked then.

"Probably, maybe, there seem to be three or four hundred people." The railroad worker said roughly.

"Lieutenant. Lieutenant." The major then shouted loudly.

"It's the sir." An adjutant of the major ran over and said quickly.

"Order one of our reconnaissance squad to go forward and investigate the situation. Also, let the soldiers eat." The major said.

"Yes, sir." The lieutenant ran away at this time.

quickly. The Qin army ate on the spot, and their meals consisted of canned beef with some biscuits, canned fruits and other fast-eating foods.

While the soldiers were eating. A Qin State reconnaissance squad of twelve members went out to investigate the situation.

The major did not eat. And he just looked at the situation in the north. It was just over nine o'clock in the morning. But the weather here seems a bit cold. The sun just showed his head. The major of the north wind is very uncomfortable. He did not expect. This time, I suddenly received a war order. They were sent to the north to suppress slave riots. The command is written like this. As for how to fight, where is the opponent. He didn't know at all. Regarding these, the major himself had no bottom. According to the information he has. These slaves are a group of thugs, they do everything. Moreover, quite a few of them are from the north. Among the nomadic tribes in the north, there are many good horsemen. In the absence of stirrups, they can maintain fairly good riding skills. If they get horses, things are a little difficult.

Thinking of this, the major didn't want to go to dinner.

"How is the terrain here?" the major then asked the railroad worker.

"Over this, there is an endless grassland behind it. There are large pastures there. There are a lot of cattle, sheep and horses." The railway worker introduced. And the major heard this. I felt a little unhappy. horses. What he fears most is horses. Because it is a bit difficult for nomads to get horses. You know, they are infantry soldiers, and they came out very anxiously. There is no horse at all, and he is an infantry battalion. The infantry battalion only has heavy equipment, and the artillery unit has horses. The others are infantry on foot.

"Okay." The major thought it was a little unlucky.

A long time has passed. The infantry who had gone for reconnaissance came back with two men.

"How is the situation?" the major asked himself.

"There are about three or four hundred people. Some of them have horses. They drove a large number of cattle and sheep. They were resting on the grassland behind the mountain. When I came, I saw them killing cattle and slaughtering sheep. They were slaughtering cattle and sheep. It seems to be eating," said a scout.

"En." The major just nodded.

"Anything else?" the major asked.

"Yes, they don't know why they demolished a section of the railway. They don't know their intentions. But our train can't go." the scout asked.

"Our people are watching them closely." The scout continued.

"Very good," said the major.

"Lieutenant. Order first company, second company follow me. Third company defends the train." said the major.

"Yes. Sir." Then the lieutenant left immediately to deliver the order.

"How is it? Are there any movement from the slaves?" A Qin Army lieutenant ran to the side of a scout quietly and asked.

"The slaves are eating. Some of them are dancing. Look at the stupid ones." A scout pointed his finger at the slaves in the distance.

Among a group of slaves. A slave is struggling to lift up one end of the railroad track in the State of Qin. That section of railroad tracks. There are at least five hundred stones. The slave was naked, with black hair on his chest. It looks very disgusting.

"Chiliquala." The slaves in the distance gathered around and shouted in applause. They are watching the performance of the brawny man. The soldiers of the State of Qin expressed surprise. The fierceness of the northern nomadic tribe surprised them.

"These stupid birds." The major appeared behind them at this time.

"Those who order us, arrange them." The major gave the order at this time.

"Place the mortars and machine guns on the commanding heights. The forces of the two companies form a ninety-degree angle, forming a crossfire. Don't let them run away," the major whispered.

"These stupid birds. They are lifting weights at this time," the major said with disdain.

The two infantry companies of the Qin Army began to quickly occupy the commanding heights, and they arranged their artillery and machine guns as close to the enemy as possible. The other soldiers were lying quietly on the cold ground.

The slaves in the distance didn't even know. Their disaster is approaching, and they are still eating some raw beef and mutton at this time. Watching the weightlifting performance of the Hercules. Some of them also danced their characteristic dances around the fire.

But Qin Jun was busy making arrangements at this time, and they wanted to kill them all.

"Wait for death." The major checked the situation with his binoculars, and the group of slaves didn't even have a guard. These people deserved to be killed.

"Weightlifting, Qin's robotic arm is heavier than yours." With the help of the hydraulic system, Qin's machinery can lift heavier things. This is far more useful than the brute force of weightlifting.

"Sir, our people are ready." This time. A messenger whispered to the major.

"Very good. Order the artillery guns to launch an attack. The machine guns hit fiercely." The major gave the order.

"Okay." Chuan Lingbing left the major immediately. Convey orders.
