Maybe this day is destined to be an uneventful day.
Just when the usually rigid young lady put away the "showing off" in front of his elder brother that rarely appeared in his mind, the two brothers were about to go to the city lord's mansion where Li Shushi was to check in and see if they could
While fighting for an official position for his brother, the scouts trained by Cao Xing received surprising news: a merchant group of more than a thousand people was attacked by Hu cavalry dozens of miles away from Shicheng.
.
This news had come, and the soldiers who had been away in the military camp for more than a month immediately had their eyes filled with anger, and they all looked like they were gearing up. After Lu Bu sent someone to notify Li Shushi in the prefecture, he even directly
He selected ninety-nine people from the Xiliang cavalry left under him and added the scout to form a hundred-man team and rushed out.
The reason for doing this is because according to Xihe's rules and regulations, Li Shushi's approval is required to mobilize more than a hundred soldiers, and Lu Bu, the captain, can decide on his own whether to mobilize more than a hundred soldiers. Therefore, I am afraid that Li Shushi will give this opportunity to others.
Lu Bu immediately rushed out with his men to create a fait accompli.
Also rushing out with Lu Bu were brothers Cao Chun and Cao Ren, as well as the knights and knights brought by Cao Ren.
Although almost all of Cao Ren's thousands of troops in the battle at Qiao County were wiped out by Li Shushi, Cao Ren was still Cao Ren after all. He went to his younger brother Qichun, Cao Hong, for a stroll and then came back to form a new team.
Moreover, they also made many gains in Runan County and Pei State. Before arriving at Xihe, their scale was no less than before being eliminated by Li Shushi.
These people obviously have nothing to do with Li Shushi's county soldiers. Cao Ren also wanted to win a "vote of name" for himself instead of relying on his brother's nepotism, so he was naturally happy to set off with his brothers. However, Cao Ren's men
Most of these rangers are horseless infantry. There are not many horsed cavalry, and their speed is definitely not as fast as Lu Bu and those Xiliang cavalry.
Of course, when Lu Bu received the news, a scout had already delivered the news to Li Shushi, who was chatting with Yan Zhong not long after the meal. So when Lu Bu led the people and rushed out, Li Shushi also quickly ended his conversation with Yan Zhong.
After a long conversation, Jia Xu led Jia Xu to gather his troops and prepare for a battle.
There are people who are willing to bite a caravan with a thousand guards, so it is obvious that the opponent is either mentally retarded or well-informed. Although Li Shushi really hopes it is the former, it is a pity that the ideal situation cannot be solved until the last moment without knowing the enemy's situation at all.
Don't have any illusions, so Li Shushi would rather believe that the opponent is an organized and large number of elite cavalry.
What? Are you saying that if it was really a large and elite force, those caravans would have been slaughtered by the barbarian cavalry before Li Shushi could rush over? So Li Shushi's efforts were completely in vain and he could easily be ambushed by the other party?
Li Shushi is not too worried about this, because a sophisticated caravan will have some self-protection skills. For example, like Li Gan, he can clearly know that enemies are around very early. Moreover, the caravan will have a large amount of goods to transport.
These carts are the best defensive tools as long as those barbarian cavalry are not out to kill people rather than steal goods.
Use carts to form a circular formation, and then place people in the circular formation. It would be more perfect if you add some shields and bows and arrows. Think about the time when more than 5,000 Jingchu swordsmen were able to outlast 80,000 Huns cavalry and keep fighting.
Li Ling and his men knew how powerful this defensive formation was when all the supplies were consumed and they were still unable to allow the Huns to attack.
Therefore, as long as the barbarian cavalry does not set the cart on fire, there should be no big problem for those people to hold on for a day or two.
Of course, having said that, Li Shushi still needs to quickly mobilize troops for reinforcements, otherwise if others know that they can attack the caravan unscrupulously so close to Shicheng, then Li Shushi believes that since he took office
The accumulated sense of mystery will be gone. Last time, it can be said that the wind and snow affected the vision. This time, Li Shushi will definitely give those barbarians a strong dose, otherwise the other party will not treat him too well.
The prefect of Xihe is a good choice.
Fortunately, Lu Bu had already rushed out with his men, and Cao Chun also pursued him with what he suspected was Cao Ren and his subordinates. Presumably, these people could at least delay the attack of the barbarian cavalry. With luck, there might be more.
Quite a gain.
Generally speaking, the efficiency of the execution agency under the Governor of Xihe is quite high. Although a certain little shot who is about to deteriorate sneaked away, the equipment he is responsible for is more responsible for the daily production and improvement of weapons. The key
Responsible for formulating
The staff officer Cao Ling and the logistics officer Tai Shici of the troop dispatch plan were enough to handle this rescue operation. In order to train their abilities, Li Shushi led Su Xiaoluoli and Jia Xu to run away directly with his personal guards and close guards.
Reinforcements have arrived.
Of course, besides Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were bound to follow him, there were also Zhang Xiu who ran out with him in the name of protecting him, Zhao Yun who was led astray by Zhang Xiu, fighting madmen Cheng Lian, Guan Yu, Le Jin and
Xu Huang and others left only Gao Shun and Liao Chun, good and obedient boys, looking helplessly from behind at the staff officer Cao Ling who was listening to the soldiers' reports in amazement.
But after all, Gao Shun is still a seasoned veteran, and he often has to wipe the butt of Lu Bu, who is easily attracted to battles. He is quite experienced in such situations, so he immediately asked Wei Yue and Qian Zhao to lead them away.
All the light cavalry in Shicheng followed Li Shushi's troops as the next echelon. Guan Hai and Liao Chun led the Yellow Turban Army as the final push.
troops, Gao Shun himself led the light infantry troops to guard Lishi City to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity. Of course, because it was close to the city, there was no need to prepare a separate logistics force. However, because the incident happened at noon, there was no need to prepare a separate logistics force.
The small force had not eaten, and physical strength was an area that needed attention, so the Yellow Turban Army had eaten before setting out according to Gao Shun's order.
Well, although Li Shushi's army was the third to set off, he only ran for less than half an hour before he encountered the troops of brothers Cao Ren and Cao Chun, so the two-legged ones are really not as good as the four-legged ones.
, especially when the other party didn't have time to eat much dry food. But it was just enough for Li Shushi and Cao Ren to meet each other. Even when Li Shushi and others set out on the journey again, there was already another guy beside them.
As for Cao Chun, the poor little guy was pinned into the hands of those Jianghu Rangers with just one look from his brother. Even though Cao Chun's little friend used his invincible tears to act coquettishly, it was just Shota who was about to expire the shelf life.
This method obviously has almost zero effect. At the same time, when time passes again
Half an hour later, Li Shushi discovered Lu Bu who was eating on the roadside and Cao Xing, who had just investigated and was preparing to go to Li Shicheng to report to Li Shushi. This scene made Li Shushi quite speechless, because there were many of his own subordinates because of
Due to various tasks, I didn’t have time to eat.
But soon he understood the reason why Lu Bu was able to eat slowly here to regain his strength.
"There is an old friend of ours in that caravan, so although the attack by the barbarian cavalry is quite fierce, the caravan's defense is quite solid. We can slowly rush to the battlefield and kill all the barbarians in one fell swoop.
"
Cao Xing had a calm face when he spoke, as if the caravan could easily deal with the barbarian cavalry. However, Li Shushi could still detect a trace of schadenfreude in Cao Xing's calm face.
So, who can make Cao Xing show such a bad expression, and who is also an old friend of Lu Bu and Li Shushi?
Li Shushi, who met this condition, immediately thought of two candidates, and these two people happened to be from the same "family". One was named Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, and the other was named Zhang He and Zhang Junyi.
Although Zhang Liao is in Bingzhou and Zhang Heyuan is in Jizhou, the possibility of Zhang Liao should be higher, but how could Zhang Liao, the chief registrar of Bingzhou governor, do such a job as a bodyguard, even if he is a bodyguard?
The army under the governor of Bingzhou was enough to easily defeat the enemy, so how could he persist there like a businessman?
So putting aside all the wrong answers, there is only one truth. No matter how incredible and unacceptable the answer is, Zhang He should indeed have appeared among the guards of the caravan in front and was still fighting hard.
"Okay, Mr. Feng, Xingran, I know you are quite dissatisfied with Jun Yi's departure, but everyone has his own ambitions. Besides, since those barbarians dare to attack our merchants so close to Shicheng again and again,
Team, this is simply
This is a slap in the face of all our generals and county soldiers in Xihe. I don’t know if you can bear this tone, but compared to the conflict with Jun Yi, I feel very, very annoyed about this matter. But I don’t know if Feng
How do you feel first?"
With a crash, Lu Bu, who was sitting on the bed, immediately stood up with red eyes. Apparently Li Shushi's words stimulated this proud warrior. As Lu Bu stood up with murderous intent, the Xiliang cavalry who followed Lu Bu into the battle immediately sped up.
It increased the eating speed and was completely solved when Lu Bu got on the red rabbit horse that had obviously finished "communicating" with Lu Bu.
"Lord, you are right. Compared with Zhang Junyi's ungrateful villain, those bastards who don't take us seriously are more annoying. Uh-huh-uh! Let those bastards sing today
Let me, Lu Fengxian, paint the halberd!!!"
After saying that, Lu Bu's body erupted with a light similar to domineering, which was quite effective when combined with Lu Bu's ferocious face.
"With just a little provocation, the general went berserk. Sure enough, Lu Bu is actually a person with less than half my intelligence⑨."
Seeing Lu Bu leading the troops away with red eyes, Li Shushi felt that his eyebrows seemed to be twitching unconsciously. Of course, Su Xiaoluoli, who heard his words, did not forget to give him a free health ball attack.
"Then, let's set off." At this moment, Li Shushi's tone was unusually calm. Well, it should be called Dan Ding.
