Late at night, the lakeside tidal flats north of Zhicheng are still brightly lit, and many soldiers who were captured in the recent battle are constantly digging in the mud here.
"Keep digging, dig hard, even if the lake is hollowed out, you have to dig it out for me!"
On the pontoon connecting the boats, Li Tai personally stood here to supervise the work, with a look of irritation and annoyance on his face. When he scolded these prisoners of war, his tone was particularly irritable.
Now he finally understood why the two warring parties in the TV series had to exchange names. It was not only for the audience to see clearly, but also for the warring parties to know who the enemy was. Otherwise, the current embarrassing situation would occur.
It was only after he conducted a cursory interrogation of the prisoners of war after the battle that he found out that the leader of this group was actually Liu Feng, the same enemy general who was stabbed to death by himself and whose body fell into the mud on the beach.
At that time, he was so obsessed with killing the enemy that he didn't bother to identify the identity of the enemy general. However, when he found out, he felt very upset and regretted that he shouldn't have taken it so seriously.
Liu Feng is not very well-known and popular among the generals of the Three Kingdoms. The only thing that is probably familiar to the public is his hasty and inexplicable way of death. This may be because he is in the same boat.
Murong Shaozong and his opponent Wang Sizheng.
But in fact, Liu Feng was of greater significance to the Western Wei Dynasty than three or five Murong Shaozong. This guy was the son-in-law of Cao Ni, the former governor of Lingzhou, and he once guarded Lingzhou with Cao Ni.
Soon after Yu Wentai defeated Hou Mo Chen Yue and welcomed Emperor Xiaowu, he began to use troops against Lingzhou many times. In the end, he was unable to do anything to the son-in-law, but they managed to escape the Western Wei Dynasty and join the Eastern Wei Dynasty.
In the Battle of Lingzhou that year, the Liuzhu Kingdom of later generations sent three of them, but they still failed to defeat Liu Feng. On the contrary, after the Battle of Mangshan, Liu Feng chased after their defeated army and killed them. If not for Wang Sizheng,
With great strength at the critical moment, even today’s Kansai still doesn’t know what the situation is like.
Li Tai also didn't expect that such a powerful general in the world could be killed by him so easily. After being surprised, the first thing that came to his mind was naturally to recover Liu Feng's body quickly to ensure conclusive evidence.
For such a brilliant victory, he didn't even think about the reward. Just showing his face was a big deal. Who among these guys in Beizhen would dare to brag about their great achievements in front of him in the future?
The guy you can't deal with, even if he escapes to the Jinyang Bafu in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, I can find him and kill him! They are all tall and thick, they look like five people and six people, just waiting for me to wipe your butts, you are a bunch of losers.
Son!
"Master Lang, we are tired from the fierce battle and the weather is cold. It is better to go to the city to rest first and come back to check again tomorrow morning."
He was still imagining how to show off to those guys when he returned to Kansai. Zhang Shinu next to him shrank his head and spoke to persuade him.
It's okay if he didn't say it. When Li Tai heard this, he immediately felt unbearable. After learning Liu Feng's identity, he quickly organized the prisoners of war to come and dig them out before taking off his armor. However, the battle at that time was too chaotic and there were so many
The enemy corpses were trapped in the tidal flats, and it would be difficult to dig them out now.
Although Liu Feng's body was important, Li Tai didn't want to be infected with the cold and feel extremely sad here, so he gave a few more careful instructions before returning to the city to take a bath, get on the couch and sleep comfortably.
The next morning, as soon as he put on his clothes and stood up, young Yan Zheng was already standing in front of the door with two dark circles under his eyes.
Seeing Li Taixing coming out, Yan Zheng hurriedly came forward and reported: "Master Lang, the prisoners of war dug up until midnight, and finally dug out the enemy general's body, washed it and put it in the front hall!"
After hearing this, Li Tai was overjoyed and hurriedly walked to the front hall. When he turned around and saw Yan Zheng still walking quickly behind him, he waved to the boy and said, "You haven't slept all night? Hurry up and take a quick sleep. We will continue in an hour."
march!"
At this time, many soldiers had gathered outside the front hall, all circling Liu Feng's body placed on the wooden frame and watching. This was not to blaspheme the deceased, but Liu Feng's name was too loud in Kansai, so it was not convenient to be present.
There were many old soldiers from Mangshan who accompanied the army on the expedition to Lingzhou last year. When they saw the corpse of this stubborn and undefeated enemy in front of them, they felt very sad in their hearts.
When they saw Li Tai, the general who personally killed Liu Feng, approaching, everyone clapped and cheered, admiring him even more.
As long as Li Tai found Liu Feng's body, he didn't have much interest in this person. After looking at it for a few times, he ordered his soldiers to bury it lightly so that he could be carried with the army later.
Taking advantage of breakfast time, Li Tai discussed the current situation with the generals.
They set off southward from Jinci Temple a few days ago. It took the front troops two days to arrive at Zhucheng. At that time, there were still hundreds of defenders in the city, but when they saw their group, there were thousands of people.
Panicked, they hurriedly fought, but in the end they were defeated and the city was breached.
The trap Li Tai arranged was not at all to deal with Liu Feng's reinforcements returning from Yubi City, but to target the men and horses of Zuojin Xicheng.
According to the situation they currently know, although the Jihu troops led by Han Guo have come south many days ago, they have been blocked outside Liubi City and cannot break through this series of city defenses. The large group of troops still cannot enter Fenzhou smoothly.
Massive plundering occurred in the hinterland.
Although large groups of people cannot enter here, small groups can still penetrate here. Jihu is a rogue bandit, and it is not easy to ask them to form a strict formation in a big way. Therefore, although the main force of his group is still blocked by Liubi City,
These teams that have infiltrated have also caused chaos around Fenzhou.
Zucheng originally had an army of more than 2,000 people, but nearby cities kept asking for help and their troops were frequently transferred elsewhere. Therefore, the defensive force became so empty that Li Tai's troops succeeded in an attack.
The total number of Jihu infiltrated into the country should be quite large, otherwise the people would not be in trouble and flee in droves. But if we want to effectively gather these goods, we may not be able to get Gao Huan's army to return home.
Therefore, Li Tai did not intend to get involved with these Jihu bandits. It was better to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible and leave the enemy's territory.
Although it is only mid-October and there is still some time before Gao Huan officially withdraws his troops from Yubi City in history, with the serious disturbance in Jinyang and the accidental death of the general, will Gao Huan continue to fight against Yubi City?
Li Tai was not sure either.
Fenzhou can also be regarded as the front line against Jihu. In addition to the six-walled city set up close to the mountain passes of Luliang Mountain, there are also a series of fortifications around it. The largest of these is Lingzhou where the overseas Chinese were placed in Xicheng, that is,
It was the prefecture established by the expatriate clansmen of the Eastern Wei Dynasty brought by Cao Ni and Liu Feng.
Through the interrogation of Liu Feng's tribe, it was learned that Liu Feng's troops had more than 6,000 soldiers, including the old troops who were led by his father-in-law Cao Ni after his death, as well as the soldiers captured and rewarded in Dongtou over the years, etc., the entire Lingzhou
There are more than 20,000 people living in the city, who live around Xicheng farming and herding.
The scale of such a group of soldiers is indeed quite large. No wonder Liu Feng, a long-distance warrior, was able to thrive in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. In addition to his personal abilities, his own power was also extremely impressive.
Lingzhou City was already on the way back to Li Tai and his party, and Liu Feng and his main force had been wiped out. The part of the army that still had Yubi on the front line was also a piece of fat meat.
It’s really not to be missed.
More than a thousand war horses were captured in a battle last night. After deducting some injuries and injuries, there are still seven to eight hundred horses available. Adding the hundreds of war horses originally saved by the army, a cavalry brigade of thousands of people can be formed. Li Tai ordered
Zhu Meng led thousands of cavalry to Lingzhou to explore the road first, and he led other soldiers to follow.
Because there were many old, weak, and disabled people in the team, the speed of the journey was not high. Fortunately, Zhucheng captured a batch of vehicles, which could allow the injured and disabled veterans to travel by car. For this reason, Li Tai even gave up part of the seized supplies.
The other veterans saw this scene in their eyes, and they were all grateful to Li Tai in their hearts. Even if their respective former masters did not treat them as compassionately as Li Tai, let alone the few years after being captured.
Despite the torture of slave life, this kindness is simply the brightest light they have ever seen in their lives.
Therefore, during the trip, there were often people who excitedly stated that they would follow Li Kaifu to the death. Li Tai just responded with a smile, but he felt a little disapproval in his heart.
It's not that these old soldiers are ungrateful, but the high-compliance social relationship within Beizhen. These people are just dead after their old master is dead. If they are still alive and still being used, Li Tairuo will detain his subordinates and not return them.
, on the contrary, they will become enemies because of it.
So for Li Tai, if these people are willing to remember this kindness, he will not save the life in vain. As for whether they will join his army, he doesn't care much, after all, he is now in trouble
There are so many, and if they continue to grow at a rapid pace, they will inevitably become a bit big and attract the wind.
After these veterans return to Kansai, if nothing else goes wrong, most of them will be placed in the Fubing system and serve as some grassroots and middle-level commanders and generals. This bond of friendship can also deepen and expand Li Tai's role in the Fubing system.
influence in.
In such a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere, the large group of troops finally arrived at Lingzhou City. At this time, the troops in front of them led by Zhu Meng had also launched several waves of offensives against the city, but with little success.
After Li Tai arrived, he did not arrange a siege and attack on the city. He only ordered Liu Feng's tribe captured last night to be lined up under the city and shouted to persuade them to surrender. However, the stubborn resistance in the city remained strong.
It was not until Liu Feng's body was displayed that the defenders on the city began to commotion. Many people held their heads and cried loudly. It was obvious that Liu Feng had a very high prestige among his tribe. Seeing his death, many defenders
Immediately, he lost his fighting spirit and was left filled with grief and fear.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Meng led his troops to attack the slightly lower southern city gate. It didn't take long to capture the city gate, and then the army poured in and continued to attack and advance into the city.
