"Everyone is here!" Li Li gave the order loudly, "Follow us! Make a circle!"
His cavalrymen responded loudly. It didn't look like there were only a dozen people fighting against a convoy of hundreds of people. Instead, it looked like the convoy was heavily surrounded by these dozen cavalrymen.
If you can find a flaw, attack, if not, then attack!
More than ten riders behind Li Li also followed, slowly moving outside the shooting range of the chariot array, and observing. The horses were not running very fast, and they were walking lightly, as if they were on an outing.
The smugglers in the car formation were extremely nervous, shouting and shouting, organizing their men to run around the car formation at all times, and always pointing their defense towards Li Li and others.
"Captain, the car formations are all connected. It's difficult to rush..." A commander suggested, "Just rush, I'm afraid there will be some damage... It's better to send people back first..."
Li Li turned around and stopped again.
Fine pieces of smoke are flying in the wind.
The war horses snorted and scratched their hooves, seemingly not having enough fun.
Li Li looked at the car array covered in fine smoke and dust.
The figures behind the car formation were shaking, with panic on their faces.
It is true that smugglers are all desperadoes. If you let them feel that they have a chance to escape, they will not risk their lives.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the smugglers could not find a good location, so they could only form a temporary car formation on the road.
There is a patch of bushes in front of the right side of the car formation, and the nearest bush is only twenty steps away from the car formation, which is the best position to throw the Five Elements Thunder into the car formation.
But if you want to reach that bush, you will inevitably be attacked by missing arrows.
Within twenty steps, the arrow's power is enough to penetrate the armor.
A forceful attack is obviously a bad idea. It's like sending infantry to attack a city wall.
So you need to find the right method.
"Two of them go back!" Li Li ordered, "Call the people from the military camp to come, as many as you want!"
"Then... do you want to report it to the general?" asked the commander.
Li Li smiled and said, "No need, how long does it take to get back and forth from Yinshan City? At least a day or two? If we really have to rely on the general to send troops, they will have already run away! Go quickly!"
"Obey the order!" Immediately he separated into two cavalry and headed to the rear.
Li Li looked back at the other people and found that the other cavalry did not look worried or fearful. He just smiled and said, "Actually, we can overturn this turtle's shell without any support! Let the two of them go to the military camp.
One is to not be able to move so much goods even after winning the battle, and the other is to make the people in the car array relax their vigilance, thinking that we can't eat them..."
Everyone was obviously more interested.
We are not afraid that the leader is young, but we are afraid that the leader will give blind orders. Since Li Li can tell one, two, three, it means that he is not the kind of person who is so reckless that he wants to use his own men to gain credit.
The commander scratched his head and said, "Captain, I don't understand. Please explain in detail."
"Didn't you also read the military report that the general sent last time?" Li Li glared at Shi Chang, "It turns out you didn't read it carefully..."
"No, I read it carefully! Hehe, but my memory is not good, I forgot..." Shichang defended with some embarrassment.
Li Li ignored Shi Chang's nonsense, because he also knew that everyone has his own ambitions. Li Li wanted to go further, and some, like the one in front of him, felt that the moment was good.
In later movies and TV shows, no matter what kind of battle it is, there will always be scenes of generals inciting soldiers. In fact, it is all nonsense. Only small-scale battles like today, where the number of people are not large and the intensity is not high, will require agitation.
Otherwise, once the number of people increases, it will take a long time just to shout and convey the message. Do the enemy troops really look like honest people in the Spring and Autumn Period, waiting for the other party to finish talking before fighting?
"Isn't it written in the military newspaper? In a war, we must not only look at our own strength, but also speculate on the enemy's thoughts!" Li Li pointed at the smugglers in the car formation and said, "Why do these guys form a car formation?
Do you just want to delay time? They are holding us back from fighting, and then at night they can take advantage of the darkness to escape... As soon as we sent people to call for reinforcements, they didn't know where our reinforcements were, so they must be thinking about how to escape now.
!After all, if we really wait for our reinforcements to arrive, they may not be able to escape, so they will inevitably..."
"Someone ran out!"
Before Li Li could finish his words, a soldier on the side raised his hand and pointed at the car formation.
Suddenly, some people emerged from the car formation and fled in all directions.
Li Li laughed, "Look, that's it..."
"Tun chief, should we pursue him or not?" Chief Shi asked.
Li Li smiled and said: "Chase! Xiao Yi Sanlang, you two catch up first, don't chase far! You must always pay attention to my orders. Once the summons whistle sounds, you must come back no matter where you are! The same goes for everyone else, understand."
No?!"
"I understand!"
"Let's go!" Li Li waved his hand.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess the thoughts of the smugglers in the car array. Goods are of course important, but people are more important.
If you run out of goods, you can make back your money by making two more trips at most. But if you lose the people, or you are followed to find the boss behind the scenes, it won't be fun.
Therefore, unless smugglers are forced into a desperate situation, they usually run away when they can. They will never fight bravely or engage in counterattacks like in movies and TV shows. If you have the time, run a few more times.
Can't you go out?
The smugglers who refused to give up when they met the regular army and stalked them, and then even after their brothers were beaten to death, they still kept their morale and screamed in sorrow and continued to charge forward...
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
The smugglers Li Li blocked this time were ordinary models, not specially made for film and television, so when he saw Li Li sending people back to move troops, he panicked.
Li Li and others knew that there were not many reinforcements, that is, there were more than ten or twenty cavalry in the Beijun stronghold, but the private soldiers did not know that. They did not know how many reinforcements would come. If more reinforcements came, they would still continue.
Sitting there in the middle of the traffic, isn't it like being made a dumpling?
It's easy to escape after dark, but will reinforcements come before dark?
Who can guarantee that?
Therefore, we can only run away before reinforcements arrive.
The first batch of testers were divided into two directions. Of course, they would not go in the direction where Li Li was, but in the other two directions, with the intention of pulling Li Li and other cavalry...
Li Li and other cavalrymen seemed to have really fallen into the trap. They were divided into two teams, one with more people and the other with less. However, no matter how many they were, as soon as the cavalry started running, the sound of hoofbeats and the sound of dust flew into the air, plus whistles and whistles.
With the sound of drinking, the momentum came up.
Sure enough, shortly after Li Li and others chased them out, two more groups of people in the car formation got out of the car formation in a direction away from Li Li and others and escaped...
Then Li Li and others shouted and sent out people to chase them.
The smugglers in the car array thought they had a trick, and were about to quietly move some of the cars locked together, and then a big wave came, but they didn't notice that Li Li had touched the bush from behind.
Then he pulled out the fuse from the handle of the Five Elements Thunder. After lighting it, he didn't rush to throw it away. Instead, he waited for a moment and watched as a section of the long fuse was burned. He estimated that it was almost done, then he flicked his arm and headed towards the car formation.
Throw it away.
Then, there is the second one.
Not everyone has a big heart.
I was preparing to escape. Regardless of whether it was victory or not, I was holding on to my anger, but there was a loud bang, and then a second sound. Isn’t this a mental breakdown?
When Li Li secretly looked up from behind the bushes, he saw that no oncoming arrows had been missed. He only saw a lot of people running out of the smoke from the explosion, at least sixty or seventy people...
"It's done!" Li Li grabbed the whistle tied around his neck and blew a sharp whistle, then got on his horse and began to observe the smugglers who escaped.
In the distance, I found that my cavalry had turned their horses and began to catch up with the fleeing troops and launched an assault.
Li Li did not pursue easily, he was looking for the leader of the smugglers.
Soon, he discovered it. His eyes were fixed on the figures of several people who were escaping in front of him on the left. He took out the sword from his waist, turned his horse and chased those people.
Those people heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, and some of them looked back while running. Their eyes were full of fear, but they didn't know what to do, so they could only turn back and continue running.
"Infantry without formation is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered when faced with a cavalry assault."
This is the original statement in the military newspaper, and it was also emphasized many times by General Li Dian during his training.
Being a cavalryman is not absolutely necessary, and direct charging into battle is not recommended.
Instead, we need to find a way to disperse the infantry array, so that we can naturally start harvesting.
Li Li rode his horse forward, quietly turned the horse's head, and marched to the right side of the fleeing people.
This is the instinct in fighting. When cavalry is fighting, the position of the right arm is very important. Li Li is right-handed, so of course the sword is on the right side. What should I do if I am a left-hander? There are left-handers in scattered fights, but within the military formation,
Only right-handers are uniform. Even left-handers will be trained to be right-handed.
Although he didn't have to think too much during the chase, the instinct honed in training and fighting still allowed Li Li to subconsciously occupy a more advantageous position on the right.
At the moment when the horse's head was about to catch up with the last person, Li Li turned slightly sideways and slashed the man's neck with his sword, just like what he did most often on the training ground.
The slight vibration of the sword made Li Li frown slightly.
This is a cut to the bone.
Not everyone can kill them with a single blow and their heads will fly up. That is what men can do, monsters on the battlefield who seem to have endless energy to waste. Li Li has an average build, and is even thinner than the average person, so his
You have to save your energy and don't make any big moves easily.
If you are skilled, you can cut off just one-third of it. This way, you will not cut into the bones and risk breaking the blade of the sword, but it will also cause maximum damage to the enemy, rendering you hopeless on the spot.
That kind of.
I’m not proficient, I still need to practice!
The thought flashed past, and Li Li subconsciously glanced at the man who had just been chopped from the corner of his eyes. The man was twitching on the ground, and he thought he would not survive for a few seconds.
"You're risking your life, so why choose this path?"
He whispered, feeling worthless for the man who was still convulsing but had not completely expired. The two had never met before, but they knew life and death at the moment. Fortunately, he knew why he killed someone, but the person who was killed did not.
Why to die.
Li Li turned around, lightly touched the blood on his sword, and went to chase the next one.
……??????????……
The dust has settled.
The smuggling car array lost its original function, and the remaining smugglers in the car array chose to surrender. Most of those who ran out before were hacked to death, and the rest also surrendered and were tied into a long string and squatted.
Waiting on the ground for subsequent cavalry reinforcements to come and take him away.
Li Li got off his horse, pressed his sword, and walked in from the position where the chariot formation was untied.
One of his men cut off the hemp rope on the baggage cart, and then opened up the felt covering. A pile of iron utensils were revealed inside, including stirrups, battle armor, arrows, swords and guns.
Li Li sneered.
These things were urgently needed by the Hu people, and they could not buy them in the exchange market. The quantity alone was enough to sentence these people to death.
The smuggling leader had committed suicide before being caught by Li Li. He had nothing special on him and seemed to have been destroyed before he fled.
Nothing was found on the man's body, so Li Li wanted to go to the car array to have a look.
The commander in the distance was shouting something loudly, as if he was sending a warning post to prevent the oriole from following behind.
Seems like a simple battle.
But it's not easy. After all, there are more than 200 opponents, and Li Li's side only has a dozen riders.
After the Chief assigned the tasks, he came to Li Li, saluted, and then said with a smile, "The Chief of the Village is really a good trick. This time everyone can share some of the credit! Chief of the Village."
You can also take the fake word on it!」
"Don't worry, I won't miss you." After staying for a long time, Li Li naturally understood what Shi Chang meant, "It's just...whose family do these guys belong to...Tsk! I couldn't find the token..."
"Huh?" Shi Chang's eyes widened, "Don't you think those people were recruited by people from the Wang family?"
"Taiyuan Wang family?" Li Li smiled, "I'm afraid not necessarily... Call a few more people and search around the area. 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 that easy to damage them. Of course, there are also seals carved with wood. But Li Li thinks that smuggling is so profitable, he shouldn't use ordinary stones or seals.
The wood is mostly made of privately engraved copper seals.
The commander nodded, whistled, called two or three veteran scouts, and began to search the vehicle formation and the surrounding ground.
Unfortunately, it was not found.
This is not surprising either.
There is a lot of sand in the desert. Once something is buried, even if you remember its original location, you may not be able to dig it out after a while, let alone not knowing where it was buried.
It's like burying shoes in a pile of sand when you were a kid, thinking you would dig them out later and use them as a "treasure". But when you turn around, you find that they really have become a "treasure" and you can't find them no matter what.
Nearly an hour passed, it was getting dark, and reinforcements arrived.
Li Li had no choice but to give up the idea of looking for the seal and let the cavalry escort the people and goods to the northern army stronghold.
The whole journey was silent.
After arriving at Beijun Village, Li Dian from Yinshan City received the letter soon, and then he seemed to think that Li Li had done a good job, so he sent someone to tell Li Li back and commended him for promotion on the spot.
After all, Li Li was also promoted by Li Dian at that time. Li Li did well, which means that Li Dian had the ability to recognize people.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li Li himself strives for success. During his time in Beijun Village, he not only cleaned up the original mess, but also made new achievements. It can be said that he is bold, careful, and quick-thinking. In time, he may not be able to achieve something.
.
Li Li arrived at Yinshan City.
Yinshan City is high in the north and low in the south. Standing at the north crossing, you can see Yinshan City in the distance and some scenery to the south of Yinshan City.
As the sun sets, Yinshan City, which has been expanded several times, looks like a black monster, crawling on the side of the mountain wall and cliff, and then traversing the mountain road.
On the city wall, on the high platform, there are crossbows of crossbows flashing coldly in the sun, and bronze cannons squatting on them, hiding murderous intent.
Bronze cannon!
Yes, due to its geographical location, Yinshan City may not be as good as Tongguan and Hangu, but it is still a very important pass, so among the first few bronze cannons produced, Yinshan City had one.
There may be more in the future...
When the bronze cannon was tested before, Li Li was also watching the ceremony.
Under the thundering roar, all the little thoughts were put away.
Li Li remembered how wonderful the faces of the Southern Huns were at that time...
Within range, there is peace and tranquility.
Far south of Yinshan City, on both sides of the water source, are large areas of farming land.
Lush and green, a strange fragrance ripples around Yinshan City.
The farmers nearby were doing their own thing leisurely, and some of the cattle and sheepherders returning from grazing were swinging their long whips to keep the greedy little guys away from the fresh and juicy wheat seedlings.
Several carriages, dragging goods, slowly came from a distance, preparing to enter the city.
It feels soothing to look at it, as if no matter how hard and busy I was, seeing everything in front of me, I feel that the previous busyness and hard work were worth it.
Before, there were only weeds here in Yinshan Mountain.
Later, General Hussar came and brought a large number of people. Although it was not possible to achieve double cropping, with the use of horses for plowing, crop rotation, and composting, this area that could only be used for grazing began to have the vitality of farming.
Here, there are not only Han refugees from various places, but also Hu people who have fled from the grasslands.
Xianbei was scattered, Ding Ling lost momentum, and some scattered small tribes had no idea of what the so-called desert shanyu passed down from generation to generation. The most important thing was to have enough to eat.
Moreover, in the grassland and desert, the smaller the tribe, the easier it is to die. Or sooner or later it will be annexed by other large tribes. Therefore, choosing a strong person to rely on is also the survival rule of these tribes. Since the Han people are the strongest here, then it is difficult to rely on the Han people.
What is the problem?
At this point in time, the technology, culture, organizational methods, and military strength of the farming Han people far exceeded those of the Desert Hu people who had not had much progress and development for a long time. It was only natural to suppress them.
Coupled with the propaganda methods and educational operations of the Hussar General, under the Yinshan City, the Han people who farmed and the Hu people who were responsible for herding lived together in a nearly integrated manner, learning from each other's strengths and making up for their weaknesses, with few fights.
"You're back? How long will you stay?" The military officer on duty who was responsible for guarding the city gate greeted Li Li, "I heard that you did a good job, and the general is going to personally award you with a medal and promotion!"
"What a coincidence, what a coincidence..." Li Li laughed, "I should be able to stay here for a few days. I'll treat you to a drink later!"
"Sure! I'll be waiting!" The military academy also responded with a smile.
Unfortunately, things did not develop as smoothly as Li Li imagined. When he took off the word "fake" and was promoted, he was also given an order to bring a whole army of one hundred cavalry with him.
