In Sichuan and Sichuan, there are many trees, bamboo forests and shrubs everywhere. These woods, bamboo forests and so on have a long history. Even in the era of later generations when manpower has invaded many areas of nature, there are still some places that once left Once you get in, it's very difficult to get out.
Near Zitong, there are many woods on both sides of the official road.
The sun gradually rose, and the mist in the forest gradually dissipated. Li's private soldiers were lying behind the trees and shrubs, waiting, somewhat nervously.
Li Bo changed out of his Confucian robe and put on short clothes. The long sword he wore before was still placed in front of him. Although Li Bo seemed to be full of confidence at the moment, he was actually just like an ordinary private soldier of the Li family. , and also a little nervous.
What would you do if you have something valuable in your home but it is stolen by a thief?
The most common way to deal with it is to hide in another place.
There are defenders in Zitong City. It is undoubtedly more difficult to attack by force. Penetration and destruction may not be effective, just like the chaotic farce of rangers last night. The only role of those rangers is to tell the garrison in Zitong City, The food and grass in his city were targeted by thieves...
If you can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days?
If you want to prevent your own food and grass from suffering bad luck, you have to sweep away all the "thieves" in the surrounding area. However, after the Li family's private soldiers cannot be found at the meeting points specified by the rangers, there is a high possibility that the defenders in Zitong City will Transfer this food and grass to Xu Shu's army.
If you put it in the city, maybe there are three advantages and two disadvantages, and you will be unable to eat and go around, or even lose your head and move out because of it. That is the responsibility of others and has little to do with you.
Simple deduction simulation.
Through this method, we avoid the risk of attacking Zitong by force, but can instead ambush the food transport team that was automatically sent to us from Zitong...
Li Bo felt that his palms were a little sweaty, so he couldn't help but reached out and grabbed a handful of the loess in front of him and rubbed it slightly. Although he said he was heroic before, in fact, he had not experienced a few real battles with real swords and guns. The last time During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I followed the large troops and ran for a while, and then the battle ended.
Li Bo thought his actions were hidden, but in the eyes of Li Shi standing aside, they were very obvious.
Not to mention Li Bo, among the private soldiers who followed Li Shi, how many of them had actually fought in a battle?
Among the two hundred or so people in ambush, Li Shi believed that there were no more than ten truly brave people. The rest were all county soldiers, even tenants, and farmers who had the strength to do so. Zi. These people either received favors from the Li family, or believed some rumors, or simply got together for money.
Fortunately, today we were ambushing Zitong's garrison and food transport team. If they really faced off against the strong soldiers under the Hussars' command, I'm afraid they would lose a few if they lay low for a while, and by the time they really waited, there wouldn't be many left.
Fortunately...
Xu Shu himself was confused, so he either took away or sent out the soldiers who were good at fighting. It was just right to have such a time difference now.
Li Shi looked back, and everywhere he looked, people were trembling. There were even some guys hugging the roots of the tree, as if they were holding his beloved ones, and curled up together. Li Shi even suspected that this
Is this guy so nervous that he has convulsions? Can he still stand up when he really wants to charge?
Hey, it would be considered good if you didn’t have a collapse and urinate on the spot...
Li Shi could only comfort himself in this way.
These private soldiers of the Li family were not warriors at all in the past. Even though they had temporarily practiced with Li Shi for a while, they still seemed very nervous and had little experience. Perhaps, after this battle, they will feel better.
!
Li Shi has a dream. Because he lives under someone else's roof, he will always be someone else's domestic slave. Although Li Shi will be very polite and talk nice when he is needed, in fact he still only regards himself as a sword and a gun.
That's all, otherwise people like Li Bo would not be sent here.
At that time, Li Shi's grandfather felt that it was an honor to join the Li family. Li Shi's father felt that being in the Li family was inevitable. But when he came to Li Shi's area, he felt that it was not necessarily a blessing.
Li Shi had vaguely heard some of General Hussar's propaganda, and even the deeds of General Hussar himself sometimes touched Li Shi's heart when he returned to his dreams.
Li Shi has a dream and a hope in his heart.
Back then, a junior from the Heluo branch was now a powerful figure in the world...
What about yourself?
Perhaps this time, as long as he has done meritorious service, he can get his slave status back through rewards...
After repaying Li's kindness, can I take my baby to the Western Region? I heard that there is a shortage of people, soldiers, and skilled hands there. I will work hard for ten years so that my baby can no longer look like me.
Likewise, you must bow your head when meeting anyone!
Li Shi took a deep breath, and then asked someone to pass on the message: "Listen carefully, this battle is just like training. Someone goes first, and you follow behind! Just follow it!"
Historically, there were many strong soldiers in Sichuan and Shu, such as the Baijie soldiers and the Wudangfei army. But unfortunately, the Baijie soldiers were born out of the "Western Army Shangbing", while the Wudangfei army was gathered after the Southern Expedition.
The barbarian soldiers have little to do with Li's private soldiers.
And Li Shi himself can be said to be the most powerful among the Li family's private soldiers.
Hope everything goes well...
At this time, some tiny sounds came from a distance and reached Li Shi's ears.
He immediately looked solemn and said, "Here we come!"
…………
If you tell too many lies, it will seem like the truth. Just like Li Miao in Chengdu, it feels like he is really trying to eliminate corrupt officials and quell the rebellion for General Fei Qian of the Cavalry.
"For the great cause of Hussar!"
"Purge the stupid officials and mediocre officials in Sichuan and Shu!"
"For the future of Sichuan and Sichuan!"
"Sichuan and Sichuan will be better tomorrow!"
Countless slogans rang out like thunder.
This situation has left some people in Sichuan and Shu at a loss...
Could it be that everyone in the Li family is really doing it for the good of Sichuan and Shu?
For the working people at the grassroots level, they are more concerned about whether they have food to eat. As for the managers above their heads, as long as they are not completely oppressed and cannot survive, they generally pay little attention to them and have no intention to care about them. After all,
In order to make a living every day, most of their energy and physical strength have been consumed. No matter how much politics is discussed, it is not as practical as improving their living conditions.
Therefore, Li Miao actually started colluding with the middle class in Sichuan and Shu, that is, the general local wealthy households of the Sichuan and Shu gentry.
The Li family of Guanghan is just the Li family of Guanghan.
Now if things come true, as planned by Li Miao, then Li can become the salt leader in Sichuan and Sichuan, whether it is well salt or rock salt, and have the capital to sit down and talk with Qiaoqi.
At least, Li Miao himself thinks so. After all, in the history of Sichuan and Shu, starting from the Spring and Autumn Period, to the Pre-Qin Dynasty, and to the Han Dynasty, it can be discussed, and sometimes it can be discussed from a certain advantageous position, so now
Li Miao just tried to delay as much time as possible, and then tied more and more people from Sichuan and Shu to himself...
At the same time, Li Shi in Guanghan has made preparations for both.
If it comes to pass, Li Miao will be the latest head of the Li family, leading the entire Li family to unprecedented glory. Once it fails, Li will immediately declare that Li Miao is a traitor to the family, and everything will be
Li Miao's audacious behavior, putting the reputation of doing bad things for the good intentions of Qiusi on his head, immediately cut him off.
Li Miao stood outside the Chengdu government office, like a host, smiling and welcoming the Sichuan and Shu gentry, gentry and natives who came from the surrounding area one after another. The Liu family flag was re-erected next to the three-color flag.
It seemed a little weird floating on the sky, making everyone who came could not help but be stunned for a moment.
"Brother Zhang, are you okay?"
"Ah, Brother Chen Xian, long time no see!"
"Leader Lan, I haven't seen you in the past few days, and you are really getting more energetic!"
True or false compliments and greetings are floating around. If it weren't for the faint blood stains on the streets that have not been cleaned up, and the broken eaves and broken walls in some places in the city are still emitting a little black smoke, no one would think that everything has been restored at the moment.
normal.
Liu Zhang was sitting in the middle hall, wearing a brocade robe, with a solemn expression, watching people walking past him one by one, bowing and paying homage, as if he had returned to the time when the Liu family controlled Sichuan and Shu, but he did not realize that he was now
In fact, the appearance is not much different from the wooden statues in temples.
…………
In the distance of the official road, the sound of windlass, footsteps, and the neighing of cattle and horses gradually came!
Li Shi quickly waved behind him and asked people to lie down further so as not to expose any flaws. He carefully lay down in the grass under the forest, motionless, only staring into the distance with his eyes.
Not long after, I saw some dust starting to fly on the originally deserted road. Immediately, four horses opened the way, two by two, pulling back and forth. The lightly-armed cavalry sat on the horses, turning their heads to look at the road warily from time to time.
situation on both sides.
About a hundred steps further, there was a convoy of cattle and horses forming a long snake. It was estimated that there were nearly a hundred baggage vehicles, so that the distance between the front and rear of the entire convoy was very wide.
Next to the baggage vehicles, most of them were civilians wearing coarse clothes, and there were not many soldiers responsible for guarding and guarding. There were even a few soldiers carrying long guns, and they seemed to be saying something cheerfully.
Nothing is known about the coming danger…
Li Shi stared at the baggage vehicles. It seemed that those vehicles were indeed filled with bags of grain in sacks, which made the wheels creak. There were also some grains in front of each vehicle, which were probably prepared to be carried to feed the vehicles along the way.
Of cattle and horses.
Everything is normal.
Everything seems to be expected.
Li Bo seemed to move, and Li Shi quickly reached out to hold him back. If he hadn't been afraid of being discovered by the cavalry in front, Li Shi would have even wanted to scold Li Bo and give Li Bo two slaps...
You haven't even entered the ambush yet, what a mess!
Only then did Li Bo react, turned his head, showed a little embarrassed smile, and then shrank down again along with Li Shi. Just now, Li Bo didn't want to rush forward, but it was mainly because it was finally as planned.
Usually, when you realize something little by little, you can't suppress your inner excitement, and your body twitches uncontrollably...
Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, the motorcade seemed to be moving forward along the official road without warning.
Just when Li Bo watched helplessly as the leader of the convoy passed under his nose, and wondered why Li Shi didn't start, he heard a loud shout coming from beside him, and he was startled, and his sphincter could not help but loosen a little...
…
"Kill!"
As the words fell, Li Shi was the first to rush forward, just as he had promised everyone earlier.
"Kill! Charge!"
Li Bo also quickly grabbed the long sword, jumped up, yelled, and tried to draw out the long sword. However, for some reason, the long sword that used to be smooth in daily life became stuck as if it was rusted to death.
Don't come out! And because Li Bo ran too fast and his mind was on the long sword, he didn't pay attention to his feet. He stepped on a stone and slipped under his feet, and he fell to the ground like a dog...
And just when Li Bo felt that he had fallen and lost his face, he suddenly discovered that the "civilians" who should have been panicking and the "laborers" who should have been running around and hiding were not panicking at this moment.
, but immediately gathered in small groups beside the baggage train, and then quickly pulled out the weapons hidden inside from the manuscripts in front of the train!
Almost at the same time, amidst sharp whistles, some felt blankets covering the baggage cars were lifted, revealing the soldiers hidden inside. They squatted or half-knelt, holding crossbows that had been strung in their hands.
machine!
"No, I've been fooled!" The thought just burst out in Li Bo's mind when he saw the crossbowmen in the car had already pulled the hanging knife at Li Shi and others who were rushing towards the convoy!
Accompanied by the sound of bow strings, the sharp whistling sound was followed by the dull sound of a sharp weapon entering the body, followed by the heavy sound of falling to the ground.
The Li family's private soldiers who rushed forward fell in large numbers in the blink of an eye!
This is a trap!
When Li Shi took the lead to rush out, he understood that those were not the so-called "civilians" at all. After being attacked, they actually lined up to resist in an orderly manner. The flawless formation showed that these were well-trained soldiers.
!
"This is impossible!"
Li Shi soon realized that when he left the city, these civilian husbands should still be civilian husbands, but when the station on the way was being repaired, they were replaced! Li Shi was still happy at the time, thinking that these convoys were so considerate.
’, and gave them enough time to ambush. Now that I think about it, these guys are afraid that they won’t get the news, so they are deliberately delaying their trip!
Li Shi luckily escaped the first wave of attacks, but he found that several of his men had fallen to the ground on his left and right, either screaming and moaning, or losing their breath in an instant...
Li Shiji shouted and waved his hands, but he was not shouting to charge, but he wanted everyone to turn around and evacuate quickly!
In the chaos, these private soldiers could not act like regular soldiers. Even if someone heard and saw the new instructions issued by Li Shi, most of them would not be able to react, just like starting up the computer and running the program ten years ago, which is slow.
They went crazy. Some of the private soldiers at the back didn't even know what was happening in the front. They were still screaming and rushing forward to die.
Especially the private soldiers who were ambushing on the other side of the convoy were also screaming and rushing towards them...
The result was naturally without any suspense. They attacked the well-trained military formation with a mob. These private soldiers who rushed in chaotically had no chance of winning. They were quickly surrounded by the crossbowmen on the vehicle and the guards under the vehicle. They harvested their lives. The only hope was
The effect was to temporarily divert the attention of the soldiers in the convoy, giving Li Shi and others a little time to escape.
However, the soldiers of the convoy quickly caught up with them. The soldiers holding shields were in front and those holding crossbows were behind. They bit Li Shi and others tightly to prevent them from leaving the battlefield smoothly.
Therefore, Li Shi could only fight and retreat among the woods and shrubs with his remaining men.
While fighting, Li Shi also caught a glimpse of Li Bo's swaying figure...
Of course, I just saw the back.
Pooh!
After all, he is still a Confucian scholar!
On weekdays, the big words are quite loud, but now that I have really seen life and death, I have abandoned those heroic words, abandoned Li Shi who was struggling to break up the rear, and rushed into the forest ahead of him...
Li Shi secretly sighed in his heart, but his hands were not slow at all. A soldier pretending to be a civilian husband rushed towards him with a knife and slashed him with one blow. Li Shi turned away the blade and smoothly slashed the opponent's neck with the knife, which was hot.
Hot blood splashed onto his face.
Because they had to pretend to be civilians, these soldiers were not equipped with armor, making their defense weak.
Even if Li Shi is more brave, this kind of dense forest area can also help to escape, but after all, the overall combat ability is quite different. Except for people like Li Shi, who can resist twice, the rest of Li's private soldiers
It was simply difficult to resist. Even Li Shi was gradually entangled while fighting and running. When he found out, he was already vaguely surrounded!
"broken!"
Li Shi rushed towards the side with fewer people, trying to escape from the encirclement, but he only took two steps. He didn't know whether it was because he lost a lot of blood from the wounds on his body, or because he was exposed to the gap for too long.
, a crossbow arrow flew out from the forest and pierced Li Shi's leg. Li Shi immediately became unstable and fell to the ground.
Several soldiers carefully surrounded him.
"Yao'er, daddy can't help you anymore! I hope you can think of daddy like you... I hope you can walk out of the mountains and be a different person..."
Li Shi struggled, and then saw the cold light stained with blood falling...
……╭╮……
"Everyone! Everyone!"
"I am not very talented, but I still have a dream and a hope!"
Li Miao stood in the hall, handsome and gentle.
Although Liu Zhang is sitting at the top, it looks like a background painting, and standing in front of the background painting is Li Miao, attracting the attention of most people.
"Sichuan and Shu are the Sichuan and Shu people of Sichuan and Shu!"
"In ancient times, when the people of Sichuan governed Sichuan, the land was filled with gold and the warehouses were full of rice! During the Warring States Period, Jingchu coveted the wealth in Sichuan and attacked many times. There was also a fake golden cow from the former Qin Dynasty and occupied Chengdu..."
"Since the Han Dynasty, officials in Sichuan and Shu are all sent from outside. Firstly, they don't understand the local customs, and secondly, they have no sympathy for the people and elders! They only know how to collect money and poison the place! Although there are hussars who are kind to Sichuan and Shu, their subordinates have not
Respect his will! Act arbitrarily and nepotistically! Persecute the loyal and good, and control the place!"
"What we are doing now is not to seek power or profit, but to seek the well-being of the people of Sichuan and Shu! I hope that the people of Sichuan and Shu can show their talents! I hope that the future of Sichuan and Shu will be prosperous and the people strong!"
Li Miao raised his hands high, looked up to the sky, tears filled his eyes, "Even if I narrowly escape death, it's okay!"
