Chapter 2609 Smuggling, subtle changes
"Everyone is there!" Li Li issued a loud order, "Come on! Go around!"
The cavalry under his command responded loudly, not like a convoy with only a dozen people against hundreds of people, but instead like the convoy was surrounded by these dozen cavalrymen.
If you can find a flaw, attack; if you can't, then shake people!
More than ten riders behind Li Li also followed, slowly moving outside the shooting range of the chariot array arrows and crossbows, observing the horses. The speed of the war horses was not fast, and they were walking lightly, as if they were on an outing.
However, the smugglers in the car array were so nervous that they shouted and organized people to run around the car array at all times, always facing Li Li and others in the direction of defense.
"Tun Chief, the car array is connected, it's not easy to rush..." A chief suggested, "Run directly, I'm afraid it's a bit of damage... It's better to send someone back first..."
Li Li walked around and stopped again.
The tiny dust and dust are flying in the wind.
The war horses snorted and shoveled their horse's hooves, as if they didn't run away to the fullest.
Li Li looked at the car array hidden in the tiny smoke and dust.
The figures behind the car array were shaking, and panic appeared on their faces.
It is true that smugglers are all outlaws. If they feel like they have the opportunity to escape, they will not be able to fight their lives.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the smugglers did not find a good location, so they could only be a temporary vehicle array on the road.
In the right front of the vehicle array, there is a shrub, and the nearest bush is only twenty steps away from the vehicle array, which is the best position to throw the Five Elements Thunder into the vehicle array.
But if you want to reach that bush, you will inevitably be attacked by arrows.
Within twenty steps, the arrow loses its power and can penetrate the armor.
A strong attack is obviously a bad strategy. It is like giving infringers to attack the city wall with ants.
So you need to find the right method.
"Go back two!" Li Li ordered, "Call the people in the military camp to come, and all the people will come!"
"Then... do you want to report to the general?" asked Shi Chang.
Li Li smiled, "No need, how long will it take to go back and forth in Yinshan City? At least one day or two? It really depends on the general to send troops, so people will run away long ago! Go quickly!"
"After the order!" Immediately, I divided the two horses and headed back.
Li Li looked back at the other people and found that the other cavalry did not look worried and afraid. He just smiled, "Actually, if we don't support, we can overturn the turtle shell! Let the two go to the military camp, one is to not be able to move so much goods after winning, and the other is to let the people in the car array relax their guard and think we can't eat them..."
Everyone was obviously more interested.
He is not afraid of the leader being young, but is afraid of the leader being blindly commanding. Since Li Li can say something, it means that he is not the kind of person who is so reckless that he wants to take his own hands and be greedy for merit.
Shi Chang scratched his head and said, "Chief Tun, I don't understand very much, please tell me in detail."
"Didn't you read the military newspaper that the general sent last time?" Li Li stared at the long, "So you didn't read it seriously..."
"No, I read it seriously! Hehe, but I don't have a good memory and forgot..." Shi Chang explained with a little embarrassment.
Li Li ignored the tricks because he knew that everyone had their own ambitions. Li Li wanted to go further, and there were also some people who thought it was good now, just like the one in front of him.
In later films and TV series, no matter what kind of battle it is, there must be scenes of generals instigating soldiers, which are actually traitors. Only when a small-scale battle is like a small-scale battle, with a small number and a small intensity, will it need to be motivated. Otherwise, once the number of people increases, it will take half a day to just shout and pass on the message. The enemy is really like an honest man from the Spring and Autumn Period, waiting for the other party to finish his words before fighting?
『Isn't it written in the military newspaper? When fighting, we must not only look at our own strength, but also guess the enemy's ideas!" Li Li pointed to the smugglers in the chariot array and said, "Why are these guys forming a chariot array? Don't you just want to drag time? We dragged us and didn't dare to fight, and then at night they can escape in the dark... We sent people to call reinforcements, but they didn't know where our reinforcements were, so they must be thinking about how to escape now! After all, when our reinforcements really come, they may not be able to escape, so they will inevitably...』
"Someone ran out!"
Before Li Li could finish his words, a soldier raised his hand and pointed at the chariot formation.
I saw that some people suddenly emerged from the car array and fled in all directions.
Li Li laughed, "Look, that's it..."
"Tun Chief, do you want to chase after him?" asked Shi Chang.
Li Li smiled and said, "Chasing! Xiao Yisanlang, you two chase after you first, don't chase far away! Always pay attention to my orders. Once the whistle sounds, you must come back no matter where you are! The same goes for everyone else, do you understand?!"
"I understand!"
"Set out!" Li Li waved.
In fact, it is not difficult to speculate about the idea of the smugglers in the vehicle array. Goods are naturally important, but people are more important.
If you have no goods, you will earn it back at most if you go twice. However, if you have no one, or if you are found by someone, it will be no fun.
Therefore, unless smugglers are forced into desperate situations, they usually run away if they can. They will never fight bravely like in film and television, or they will have some counterattacks. If they have the skills, can't they go out more?
When they met the regular army, they were unyielding and pestering each other. Then, they could not lose their morale after being beaten to death. They cried out with a sad cry and continued to rush upwards...
"I Have a Volume of Ghosts and Gods"
The smugglers Li Li blocked this time were ordinary styles, not special films and TV shows, so when he saw Li Li sending people back to move troops, he was panicked.
Li Li and others knew that there were not many reinforcements, that is, the dozen or twenty cavalry in the Northern Military Village, but the private soldiers didn't know how many they would come. If there were too many reinforcements and they were still staying in the chariot formation, wouldn't they be made into dumplings?
It’s easy to escape when it’s dark, but will reinforcements come before it’s dark?
Who can guarantee it?
Therefore, I can only run before reinforcements arrive.
The first batch of tests was divided into two directions. Of course, they would not go to the direction where Li Li was, but to the other two directions. The intention was to pull Li Li and other cavalrymen...
The cavalry such as Li Li seemed to have really fallen into a trap and were divided into two teams, one more and the other less, but no matter how many, the cavalry ran, and the sound of horse hooves was flying, and the momentum came up.
As expected, just as Li Li and others had just chased out, two more groups of people in the car array drilled out of the car array in the direction away from Li Li and others and escaped...
Then Li Li and others shouted and called out and sent people to chase after him.
The smugglers in the car array thought they were planning to quietly move some of the car arrays with hooks locked together, and then came a big wave, but they didn't notice that Li Li had touched the bush from behind for some time, then pulled out the lead wires inside the handle of the Five Elements Thunder. After igniting it, they didn't rush to throw them away. Instead, they waited for a while, and saw that the long lead wires were burned. It was almost done, and then they swung their arm and threw them into the car array.
Then, the second one.
Not everyone has a big heart.
I was preparing to run for a great escape, regardless of whether it was a victory or not, my spirit was being held there, but it sounded louder and then a second sound. Isn't my mentality broken?
When Li Li secretly looked up from behind from the bushes, there was no oncoming arrow loss. He saw a lot of people running out of the explosion, and there were at least sixty or seventy people...
"It's done!" Li Li grabbed the whistle tied around his neck, blew a sharp whistle, then turned over and began to observe some smugglers who had escaped.
In the distance, I found that his cavalry had turned their horses and began to chase the fleeing troops and launched an assault.
Li Li did not pursue him easily, he was looking for the leader of the smuggler.
Soon, he noticed. His eyes were fixed on the figures of the people who were running away in front of the left, pulled out the sword from his waist, turned his horse's head and chased them.
The people heard the sound of horse hooves behind them. Someone in the middle looked back while running, his eyes full of horror, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only turn around and continue running.
"Infantry without formations will be like a lamb to be slaughtered when facing cavalry assaults."
This is the original words in the military newspaper, and it was also emphasized many times during General Li Dian's training.
As a cavalry, it is not absolutely necessary, and it is not recommended to directly rush into the formation.
Instead, we need to find a way to disperse the infantry array and we can naturally harvest it.
Li Li rode his horse forward, quietly turned his head, and marched to the right of the escaped people.
This is the instinct in fighting. The cavalry fights, and the position of the right arm is very important. Li Li is a right-handed, and of course the sword is on the right side. What should I do if I ask the left-handed? There are left-handed people in the scattered fight, but there are only unified right-handed people in the military formation. Even left-handed people will be trained to be right-handed.
Although there is no need to think too much about it in pursuit, the instincts tempered in training and combat still allow Li Li to subconsciously occupy a more advantageous position on the right.
The moment the horse's head was barely catching up with the last person, Li Li bent over and slashed the man's neck with a battle knife, just like what he did most often on the training ground.
The slight shock of the sword made Li Li frown slightly.
This is cut to the bone.
Not everyone can cut his head and fly up. That's all the things that the battlefield monsters seem to have infinite strength to waste. Li Li has an average figure and is even thinner than ordinary people, so his strength saves money and will not easily make any big moves.
If you are skilled, you can just cut down one third of it. In this way, you will not cut the bones, and there is a risk of breaking the blade of the battle knife, and it will cause the greatest damage to the enemy and will be rescued on the spot.
Not proficient, you still have to practice!
The thought flashed, and Li Li subconsciously glanced at the man who had just been cut. The man was twitching on the ground, thinking that he would not live for a few seconds.
"I'm just trying to fight for my life, why choose this path?"
He whispered, feeling worthless for the person who was still twitching and not completely dying. The two of them had never met before, but they were divided into life and death at the moment. Fortunately, he knew why he killed someone, but the person who was killed died for no reason.
Li Li turned around, gently sniffed the blood on the sword, and went to chase the next one.
…????????????…
The dust settles.
The smuggling vehicle array lost its original function, and the smugglers who remained in the vehicle array chose to surrender. Most of the people who ran out were cut to death, and the rest surrendered, tied up in a long line, squatting on the ground waiting for subsequent cavalry reinforcements to come and take them away.
Li Li turned over and dismounted, pressed the sword, and walked in from the position where the chariot array was untied.
A subordinate cut off the hemp rope from the baggage truck and then lifted the covered felt cloth. A pile of iron utensils were exposed inside, including stirrups and armor, arrows and swords and guns.
Li Li sneered.
These things are goods that the Hu people urgently need, and they cannot buy them in the mutual market. In this quantity alone, it is enough to sentence these people to death.
The smuggling leader had already committed suicide before being caught by Li Li. There was nothing special about him, and it seemed that he had been destroyed before he escaped.
Nothing was found on the man's body, so Li Li wanted to go to the car array to take a look.
The distance leader was shouting something loudly, as if he was sending a guard post to prevent the oriole from coming behind.
It seems like a very simple battle.
But it is not simple either. After all, the opponent has more than 200 people, while Li Li has only about ten riders on his side.
After Shi Chang assigned the mission, he came to Li Li, saluted, and said with a smile, "Tun Chief is such a good method. This time everyone can also divide the title of the head! The fake character on Tun Chief's head can also be taken away!"
"Don't worry, you're indispensable," After staying for a long time, Li Li naturally understood what Shi Chang meant, "but... these guys belonged to that family... tsk! No token found... '
"Uh?" Shi Chang's eyes widened, "Don't those people say they were recruited by Wang's people?"
"Taiyuan Wang family?" Li Li smiled, "I'm afraid it may not be... If you call a few more people, look around here, I always feel that this guy may have buried the seal in the ground..."
Generally speaking, ordinary people’s seals are made of stone or copper, and it is not so easy to damage them. Of course, there are also people who use wood to carve a seal. However, Li Li thinks that smuggling is so profitable, he should not use ordinary stone or wood, and most of them use privately engraved copper seals.
Shi Chang nodded, whistled, greeted two or three veteran scouts, and began to search on the vehicle array and the surrounding ground.
Unfortunately, it was not found.
This is not surprising.
There is a lot of sand in the desert. Once the things are buried, even if you remember the original location, you may not be able to dig it out after a while, let alone you don’t know where to bury it.
It’s like when I was a child, I buried my shoes on the pile of sand, thinking that I would dig them out later as a "treasure", but when I turned my head, it turned out to be a "treasure" and I couldn’t find it.
Nearly an hour later, it was getting late and reinforcements arrived.
Li Li had no choice but to give up the idea of finding a seal and asked the cavalry to escort people and goods to walk into the northern military camp.
Nothing to say along the way.
After arriving at Beijunzhai, Li Dian from Yinshan City soon received a letter, and then seemed to think that Li Li was doing well, so he deliberately sent someone to tell him that Li Li came back and commended him on the spot for promotion.
After all, Li Li was promoted by Li Dian at that time. Li Li's good work means that Li Dian has the wisdom to know people.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li Li himself is successful. During this period of time in Beijunzhai, he not only cleaned up the original mess, but also made new achievements. He can be said to be bold, careful and active. With time, he may not be unable to achieve some careers.
Li Li arrived in Yinshan City.
Yinshan City is high in the north and low in the south. Standing at the entrance of the north, you can see Yinshan City in the distance and some scenery on the south side of Yinshan City.
The sunset hangs in a slanting place. After several expansions of Yinshan City, it looks like a black monster, crawling and adhering to the side of the cliffs of the mountain walls and then crossing the mountain road.
Above the city walls and on the high platform, there are crossbows of crossbows flashing in the sunshine, and there are also copper cannons squatting on it, ambushing the murderous intent.
Bronze cannon!
That's right, due to its geographical location, Yinshan City may not be comparable to Tongguan and Hangu, but it is also a very important pass. Therefore, Yinshan City was divided into one of the first copper cannons made.
There may be...
When the bronze cannon was tested before, Li Li was also watching the salute.
With the roar of the sky, all the little sluts were put away.
Li Li remembered how wonderful the faces of the Southern Xiongnu people were at that time...
Within the range, peace and tranquility are there.
Far south of Yinshan City, close to both sides of the water source, are large areas of farmland.
Lush and green, a strange fragrance ripples around Yinshan City.
The nearby farmers were doing their own things leisurely, and some cattle and shepherds who returned from grazing were swinging long whips, allowing the greedy little guys to leave the fresh, juicy wheat seedlings.
Several carriages, dragging the goods, came slowly from a distance and prepared to enter the city.
It feels so comfortable to see, as if I was working hard and busy, when I saw everything in front of me, I also felt that the busyness and hard work I had before was worth it.
Before, there were only wild grasses here in Yinshan.
Later, General Cavalry came and brought a large number of people. Although he could not achieve the same level of cultivation, he cooperated with horse farming, crop rotation and compost. This area was originally a place where he could only grazed and began to have the vitality of farming.
Here, not only are Han people from all over the world, but also Hu people who come to join the grassland.
The Xianbei was scattered and Ding Ling's momentum was not rising again. Some small tribes had no idea that the so-called Desert Shanyu passed down from generation to generation. The most important thing is to be able to eat a full meal.
Moreover, on the grassland and desert, the smaller the tribe, the easier it is to die. Or it is sooner or later the other large tribes are engulfed, so choosing a strong man to rely on is also the survival rule of these tribes. Since the Han people are the strongest here, what is the problem of relying on the Han people?
The farming Han people's technology, culture, organizational means, and combat power at this point in time far exceeded the Hu people in the Desert who had not had much progress and development for a long time. It was a natural thing to suppress them.
With the propaganda methods and educational operations of the General of the Cavalry, the Han people who farmed and the Hu people who were responsible for grazing lived together almost in harmony, learning from their strengths and weaknesses, and having few struggles.
"Are you back? How many days are you staying?" The military academy on duty who was in charge of the city gate guards greeted Li Li, "I heard that you are doing a good job, the general is going to give you a merit and promotion in person!"
『It happened to be a coincidence..." Li Li was beating, "It should be possible to stay for a few days, and I will invite my brother to drink afterwards!"
"I'll wait!" The military academy also responded with a smile.
Chapter completed!
