Chapter 708 The Great Qin Advance Team in Desperation
Qinglong didn't know when these natives would launch an attack, so he never relaxed his vigilance.
In Qinglong's view, now is the best time for these natives to attack.
After two days of super-intensive marching, Da Qin's soldiers were already exhausted. This seriously affected their combat effectiveness. If they encountered an ambush, they would most likely be defeated.
So in the last half day, Qinglong's nerves were highly tense.
Only half a day passed, and they had already reached the edge of the jungle.
The army was not attacked by the local natives, but after walking out of the dense jungle, Qinglong still did not relax his vigilance. It was not until the army set up camp and the Jin Yiwei confirmed that there was no danger around him that Qinglong breathed a sigh of relief.
The dense jungle they passed through should be the territory of the indigenous people. They did not choose to take action in their own territory. At this moment, they had left the jungle. It seemed that the indigenous people had really given up.
This result is quite good.
After the camp was set up, it was already dark.
At this time, all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and began to cook in the pots, preparing to have a good meal.
Both Qinglong and ordinary soldiers have relaxed their vigilance at this moment.
When they were in the jungle, everyone's nerves were tense. Now that they were out of the jungle, everyone relaxed and felt a sense of fatigue sweeping through their bodies.
Everyone ate the food in their hands with their eyes half closed. For these Qin soldiers, this was the most comfortable moment in the past few days.
Just when many Da Qin soldiers fell asleep due to fatigue, countless sparks suddenly lit up around the camp.
At the same time, there was also a loud and strange scream.
Qinglong knew what happened instantly.
He never expected that in the jungle, at the best time, the other party would not choose to take action.
But at this moment, they had lost the cover of the jungle, but instead they came to the door at this time.
Fighting in such a relatively open area, Da Qin soldiers would not be afraid of any enemy.
But when Qinglong saw the state of his soldiers, his heart suddenly tightened.
The reason why the other party came to kill at this time was obviously premeditated.
This is the time when Da Qin's soldiers are most relaxed. After their tense nerves are relieved, it will be very difficult for them to collapse again.
Because of running around for several days, their physical and mental strength had already reached their limit.
This seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the Qin army's officers and soldiers.
And this is exactly the opportunity these indigenous people have been waiting for.
They have already tried to ambush Da Qin's troops in the jungle.
With all the right time and place here, their first ambush undoubtedly ended in failure.
So they understood at that time that their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of Da Qin's troops.
Even if they take advantage of the terrain in the jungle and a large group of soldiers are highly alert, they have almost no chance of winning.
So they have been waiting for the opportunity to secretly observe the movements of the Qin army.
They waited until Da Qin's soldiers were at their most relaxed before finally choosing to launch an attack.
Their timing was perfect, and their actions were quite stealthy.
At the same time that the Da Qin soldiers went down to the stronghold, the Jinyiwei soldiers were stationed far away on sentry duty.
However, none of these soldiers discovered that such a large number of troops had quietly surrounded the camp.
These natives are active in the jungle all year round, and their opponents are usually wild beasts in the jungle.
The alertness of wild animals is undoubtedly very high.
So over time, these natives have developed a good ability to conceal their aura.
Therefore, even the secret sentry arranged by Jin Yiwei was avoided by them silently.
It was not until they approached the camp that the natives launched an attack.
Looking at the flames lighting up around them, all the Qin soldiers knew that they were surrounded.
In just a few days, this was the second time we were surrounded by enemies.
This kind of thing made the advance troops of Great Qin, from Qinglong to ordinary soldiers, feel very aggrieved.
Because this group of natives does not have strong fighting power, nor does they have any exquisite fighting methods.
Just relying on simple experience, the soldiers of Great Qin suffered two such big losses in a row.
This is completely unacceptable to them.
But what's even more difficult to accept now is that they don't even have the strength to pick up the weapons in their hands.
Sometimes it's not that they don't have the desire to fight, but that they are just too tired.
After the tense nerves were relaxed just now, at this moment, no matter how much I wanted to fight in my heart.
Their bodies are already a little bit out of control.
Qinglong knew that he was in crisis at this moment. If he didn't find a way, the whole army might really be wiped out today.
The mission entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor has not yet been completed. If the entire army is wiped out here, it would be a great disservice to His Majesty the Emperor's trust.
But looking at the number of enemies now, it would be very difficult to deal with them.
"All the soldiers obeyed the order and formed a circular formation to defend against the enemy and block the enemy's attack."
In the face of a siege, a defensive formation such as a circular formation is the best choice.
After Qinglong's order was issued, all the soldiers began to execute the order, but their movements were much slower than before.
Originally, the change of formation could only be completed in an instant, but this time it took a long time.
This group of natives has launched an attack without any plan.
Holding torches, they rushed over from all directions, shouting to kill.
They had no decent armor on them, and the weapons in their hands were very crude.
But this is such a force that is completely incomparable to the soldiers of Great Qin in every aspect.
At this moment, they were like a group of ferocious wolves, charging towards the Qin army.
As soon as the two sides fought, there were casualties on Da Qin's side.
The soldiers on the outermost perimeter were holding shields, but they didn't have much strength in their hands. The enemy easily broke through their defenses.
Such a one-sided battle is shocking.
If this continues, Da Qin's advance troops will inevitably be wiped out here, and no one will survive.
But Qinglong racked his brains and couldn't think of a good way.
The soldiers' physical strength has not yet recovered, and they are really unable to fight at this moment.
Even if they want to retreat, under such circumstances, they have no chance and will only lose faster.
At this moment, Da Qin's advance team could be said to be truly in dire straits.
