Chapter 1 Drumming (Part 5) "Go, order the fleet to speed up and don't stop no matter what happens!" The moment the wind blew up, Li Xu suddenly turned his head and faced Zhou Xing, the guard team beside him.
Order
"Sir!" Zhou Xing's eyes widened in shock. He didn't know why the general issued such a strange order. In his eyes, although the storm was coming, the scenery on the canal was still beautiful and picturesque. Occasionally, the wind blew, and the soft willows in front and behind
Twisting the waist, the branches were flying, and the white sails on the river were filled with wind in an instant, and they quickly slid forward along the waterway like a giant.
"Stop talking!" Li Xu didn't have time to explain to his subordinates. He shouted loudly and then raised the black knife at his waist and pointed it diagonally at a small mound on the east bank of the canal. "Brothers, come to the mound."
Gather on the hill and form a battle formation! Hurry!"
The 1,500 loose riders immediately rushed towards the only high ground nearby like an arrow from a string. They did not understand the commander's order, but their usual rigorous training taught them how to execute the horseshoe roll to the letter.
The smoke and dust raised instantly blocked the sky near the mound. At the same time, a low horn sounded from the distance, like a tiger roaring
It is not the horn sound commonly used by county soldiers. The horn sound used by county soldiers during training is not so deep. It is so depressing. Accompanied by the horn sound, a larger puff of smoke appears in the wilderness in the distance. There are countless people, rolling like a torrent.
Coming, swallowing up all the green on the way
"Bandits, bandits are coming!" The merchants in the canal shouted in panic, "Robbers, robbers are coming!" There was chaos on the river. Some people quickly picked up oars, while others quickly took out weapons from the cabins.
The swordsmen rushed to the bow of the ship, bent their bows and arrows, ready to defend their duties with their lives. But the moment they saw the enemy clearly, the bows in their hands began to tremble.
The strength of the bandits who dared to rob directly in front of the Sui army was probably beyond what swordsmen like them could resist. There were more than 10,000 enemies, and they were pouring towards the canal like ants in a steady stream. Those with sharp eyes could see the flags flying in the air. Cheng,
Shan, Li, Wang... there are as many as twenty heroes who can be named from the counties around Xingyang, almost all gathered at this moment
"Gruck!" Someone heard his teeth ringing. He didn't want his weakness to be discovered at this time, but his muscles could not be stabilized no matter what. The ones who came to kill were the Wagang heroes, and they almost all came to Cheng Zhijie.
Shan Dazhi, Li Gongyi, Wang Dangren, each name in the folk can stop children from crying at night
"People on the river, listen, General Li has an order -" Several fast horses ran along the river embankment at high speed, shouting as they ran
"What did Mr. Li say? What did Mr. Li say?" The frightened swordsmen finally saw the savior and asked with a bit of tears.
"General Li ordered everyone to leave quickly. The Wagang Army is not here for you. Everyone, hurry up and leave without delay!" Zhou Xing, who was still confused before, regained his consciousness the moment the horse's hooves stepped on the river embankment, and clasped his hands together.
On the lips, he shouted towards the river, "Hey - everyone, speed up and rush forward, my general will cut off your rear!" The accompanying soldiers shouted in unison, clearly conveying Li Xu's order to every area.
under white sails
After hearing the order, all the objects that could speed up the ship were stretched out into the water. The boats, like jumping barracudas, quickly split the water and fled towards the people on the boats in the distance.
While paddling hard, I kept looking back towards the mound.
"You, your family said, can Mr. Li do it?" Someone asked while panting, his voice full of expectation.
"Okay, why not, who can beat him!" The answerer vowed, but kept looking towards the shore at the general who promised to protect them. At this moment, he was standing on the mound like a rock with more than a thousand brothers.
Black clouds were pressing on his head, but he stood upright between heaven and earth, never hesitating or bending down.
"Good man!" someone sighed and praised.
"Good people are blessed by God!" The shipowners burned incense and murmured to the magic cards in the cabin, "Help the poor, help the poor, help the poor..."
"It's not the gods who save you, it's my...general!" After the commander's order came out, Zhou Xing turned his mount. The moment he looked at the battlefield, he hesitated. His commander and the incoming enemy were confronting each other.
Both sides are seizing the time to observe the situation on the battlefield, so no one is in a hurry to take action first. More and more Wagang troops are coming from the west, south and north. The people on the mound are unable to escape.
Incompatible with the tense atmosphere before the war, these few casual riders who were responsible for liaising with the cargo ship became the most leisurely people. Their own people had no time to interfere, and the enemy did not care.
"Am I doing the right thing?" Zhou Xing looked at the river and asked himself in a low voice. He suddenly had the urge to pull out the knife and put it across his neck.
"What, what is Captain Zhou talking about!" a soldier closest to him asked in surprise.
"Go back and die by the general's side!" Zhou Xing shook his head vigorously and shouted: "Fifteen thousand against tens of thousands. Even if the general is the reincarnation of Bai Qi, he has no hope of winning."
, the reinforcements are still in Yangwu, it is absolutely impossible to divide the troops to rescue them.
He turned his horse's head and ran straight towards his own military formation. It was a road of no return. He didn't care about this moment. He just wanted to pull out the knife and fight in a confused way.
"Shi Xin, we can kill happily today!" Li Xu looked at the enemy troops slowly gathering under the mound, and said quietly. His voice was not high, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone around him.
"Kill!" the soldiers raised their weapons and shouted to the sky
"Kill, kill, kill!" All the brothers raised their weapons, forming a steel jungle. The blood-red battle flag fluttered in the wind, and a big "Li" made a sound in the wind.
The Wagang Army obviously didn't expect that the enemy could exude such strong fighting spirit in such a weak situation. For a while, many people instinctively retreated, knocking the flags around them topsy turvy.
"Coward!" Luo Shixin pointed at the enemy soldiers 200 steps away and laughed. There was no trace of fear in his laughter.
"Coward!" More than a thousand soldiers yelled together with the general's laughter, spreading the contemptuous voice down the wind and reaching the ears of everyone in the enemy army.
"Woo--Woo--Woo!" Li Mi, the commander-in-chief of the Wagang Army, seeing that his brothers were timid before fighting, quickly ordered his soldiers to blow the horns. The low and long sound of the trumpets was suppressed and lingering, and accompanied by the red clouds above their heads, they slowly pressed down on the county soldiers.
The trumpeter listened and responded without hesitation with his trumpet sound, "Woo-wu-wu-wu-wu!" The sound made people's blood boil.
Li Xu mobilized his horse to circle in front of the formation and saw clearly all the enemy's battle flags. He walked to Luo Shixin and pointed directly ahead with the tip of his knife. That team of soldiers and horses had the most neat lineup. In the panic just now, the enemy's formation
His performance was rock solid, "Your old acquaintances are here, but there are not as many people as last time!" He whispered with a smile, as if he was facing a friend he hadn't seen for many years.
"I saw it, and I was about to look for him. The wound on my arm is still itchy!" Luo Shixin responded with a smile. Opposite the cavalry were Cheng Zhijie and Shan Xiongxin of the Wagang Army. Their flags were cleaner than others. The team is also far more tidy than other heroes
"My old acquaintance is here too!" Li Xu's eyes moved away from Cheng and Dan's two battle flags, and pointed with the tip of his knife at the side of the Wagang Army headquarters where there were about five thousand sturdy men standing beside them. A general riding a white horse and wearing silver armor. He is very tall and looks majestic.
"My surname is Li, is your family name? What a grand display!" Luo Shixin frowned and said, "Could it be Li Mi? I was just looking for him, but he actually dared to send us here!"
"Isn't this already here?" Li Xu responded with a smile, "Look, where should we start?"
"If we break through, that side is the weakest!" Changsha, Luo Shixin, pointed to the location of Wang Dangren's headquarters and suggested that if he wanted to teach the enemy a lesson, he paused in his voice and said proudly, "I think Go meet Li Mi!"
"Can you break through Cheng Zhijie and Shan Xiongxin's Wagang Army?"
"We can't break through, but I can scare them so that they don't dare to divide their troops and fight with you!" Luo Shixin shook his head gently, but the expression on his face was very relaxed.
The enemy was well prepared, which he could clearly see the moment the opponent's flag appeared. However, the mob that was well prepared may not be an opponent of the refined elite. In this regard, he was extremely confident.
The two of them were just talking and laughing, but the Wagang Army on the opposite side started to clamor again. After the confrontation just now, some of them had recovered some strength. "Surrender, you are too few!" Several soldiers with loud voices shouted and followed. As the crowd at the Central Military Department divided, Li Mishi, wearing silver armor and white robes, stepped out of the crowd.
"General Li, please come forward and speak!" Li Mi cleared his throat and shouted to the cavalry who were surrounded on the mound.
"Pu Shanggong Master Li, please invite General Li Zhongjian to come forward and speak!" Several soldiers raised their voices and repeated Li Mi's invitation over and over again.
"People think highly of you!" Luo Shixin shrugged and said with a smile.
"I'm going to meet him. When I'm a hundred steps away, look at my movements! Let's first try to drive out the weak and drive out the strong as we've been training! Then we'll adapt to the situation!" Li Xu gestured to Luo Shixin with a smile, and then Black The knife is inserted back into the scabbard on the side of the saddle.
Li Xu used his hands free and rode forward slowly. Luo Shixin took his place as the general, holding the command flag tightly with his right hand. Li Xu's hint was very clear. Luo Shixin knew what he should do with Cheng, Shan, Li, Xiang... ., His eyes swept over the battle flags one after another, and finally focused on Wang Dangren.
