When Zhang Han and Jia Taisui heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched.
No, Lao Li, can you be any more crazy?
One hundred thousand people can drown even if one person spits on them.
"Then how to capture the king?"
"It's very simple! Strike first to gain advantage, strike later and suffer disaster!" There was a faint light shining in Li Changkong's eyes!
"This matter is left to me and Lao Jia!"
"Old Zhang, you stay here and lead the entire army!"
"In addition, please send an order to have the best archers among the soldiers come to see me."
Li Changkong passed on the order, and within a moment, a strong man with arms that could reach past his knees and carrying a bow and arrows came over.
"I've met the general!" The man nodded and clasped his hands in a salute.
Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded and said, "Are you the best archer in the army?"
"Not bad!" The man seemed a little taciturn and only uttered two words.
"How far can it shoot?"
"A hundred steps can cross the Yangtze River, it's a piece of cake!"
"A hundred steps..." Li Changkong looked at the direction of the gourd mouth at the foot of the mountain, stretched out his thumb, compared the distance, and said in his mind, "Okay! What's your name?"
"Yanshan Tu." It's three simple words again.
"Okay, when the time comes, you will lie in ambush in the grass at the foot of the mountain, watch my gestures, and shoot whoever I point at!"
"Is there any problem?"
"No!"
"very good!"
"action!"
After a while, the grain transport team was only one mile away from Hulukou.
At the end of the team, Zhang Laosan, who was pushing the grain truck forward, was a little bit unhappy.
"Tell me, when can we arrive? It's so tiring to walk on this mountain road."
"You're a coward. You're complaining about a ball. It's coming soon. Please bear with me." Li Laosi was also sweating profusely.
This mountain road is not easy to walk, and there are many winding and bumpy places. They have to rely on their shoulders to push the grain cart along.
The taste is really hard to describe in words.
"It's better to transport food than to go to the battlefield. Just steal it..." Li Laosi stopped abruptly before he could finish his words.
Zhang Laosan was a little surprised. When he looked back, he saw a nine-foot-strong man whom he had never seen before. He was also holding a silver halberd that was as tall as two people.
Zhang Laosan immediately swallowed his saliva and wanted to scream, but the strong man grabbed his nose and mouth, and then knocked him unconscious with a knife.
Seeing that Jia Taisui had already taken care of them, Li Changkong showed up, quickly took off the clothes of Zhang Laosan and Li Laosi, and put them on himself.
While putting it on, he threw Li Laosi's clothes to Jia Taisui, urging: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and put it on!"
"Oh, okay!" Jia Taisui looked at Li Changkong's skillful operation and couldn't help but wonder...does this guy often take off people's clothes?
The person who transported the grain and fodder was only a school captain, and he was already old. There had never been any looting of grain and fodder on this road, so he didn't have any vigilance. He didn't even realize that two people had been replaced at the back of the convoy.
"Colonel, Hulukou is ahead of us. I think this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is an excellent place to set up an ambush. In my opinion, it is better to be careful." Li Changkong stepped forward and faced the old captain.
said.
The old lieutenant was nearly fifty years old and his hair was already a little gray, but after hearing this, he still nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
"The whole army is on alert. When passing through Hulukou, use your moves more brightly!"
"By the way, who are you and why haven't I seen you before?"
"Little Li Changkong, a native of Qiandu City."
"A person from the capital city?" When the old captain heard this, he immediately showed a vigilant look: "A person from the capital city is still here to join the army?"
"Colonel Lieutenant, what are you talking about? Not everyone in Qiandu City is a wealthy person, so naturally there are some who can't make it. What's more, joining the army and protecting the country are everyone's responsibilities, so why bother with geographical boundaries? Separate friends and relatives?"
When the old captain heard this, he still did not give up his doubts. His brows furrowed even deeper, as if he was thinking about whether to capture Li Changkong on the spot.
At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
"Robbing food! Someone is robbing food!"
The ordering soldiers fled back from a distance in a panic. As they ran, they gasped and said: "Colonel, what's wrong, it's the flag of the Yelu tribe. They are here to steal food!"
"How many people are here?" The old captain asked directly without caring about Li Changkong.
"Look at this posture, it costs thousands at least!" The ordering soldier did not have Jia Taisui's skills and did not dare to investigate in depth. He only took a rough look, but even so, the old captain was scared to death.
Their grain transport team only has 1,800 people at most, and they are all old, weak and disabled soldiers. How can they fight against thousands of regular troops?
"Captain Lieutenant, for the current plan, we can only stay at a favorable location and wait for reinforcements!"
"I think that small solitary mountain is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let's move there!"
"Relying on the steep terrain on the mountain, there is still a glimmer of hope!"
Hearing this, the old school captain nodded quickly. Even if Li Changkong really had any problems, he wouldn't care if he was about to die. He was a dry man after all, and the people outside were all Beiyuan people who killed without blinking an eye!
However, the idea was good, but they underestimated the speed of the Beiyuan Iron Cavalry.
The 10,000 troops led by Yeluqi only had 2,000 cavalry.
The remaining eight thousand are all infantry.
But even so, two thousand cavalry can wipe out this grain transport team.
After realizing that the grain transport team wanted to take advantage of the terrain to defend, Yeluqi decisively gave the order and led two thousand light cavalry to go straight to the grain transport truck.
Li Changkong approached Jia Taisui, pointed at Yeluqi and said, "Did you see clearly? Is he the one who gave the orders that day?"
Jia Taisui nodded and whispered: "It's him, I won't be mistaken!"
"Okay! Then you and I will stand next to the old captain, but don't take action."
"When that person gets close, and then you attack, you must take him down as soon as possible, otherwise you and I will die without a burial place. Is there any problem?"
"Don't worry, there will be no problem!"
Li Changkong nodded and took a deep breath.
I went over all the plans in my mind, and then I felt relieved.
After Yeluqi led two thousand light cavalry to force the grain transport team to a stop, he waved his hand and said: "Catch them alive!"
Since they want to pretend to be a grain transport team, they naturally need to know their place of origin and names, so the value of being alive is far greater than being dead.
He himself rode up to the old captain and looked down at him as if he were looking at a dead person: "What's your name? Where do you live?"
"Be honest and leave your body intact."
When the old school captain heard this, his eyes were about to split, and he said angrily: "How can this be unreasonable? The traitors of the Northern Yuan Dynasty want to kill or behead them, but they do as they please. How dare you insult me!"
Yelu Qi frowned: "You won't cooperate, right? Then you won't be able to survive or die! Our Yelu Department has many ways to torture people!"
He rode closer with murderous intent in his eyes.
Seeing this, Li Changkong estimated that the distance was almost there, so he winked at Jia Taisui.
Jia Taisui immediately understood and grabbed Yeluqi's left front leg and pushed it hard.
Suddenly, Yeluqi felt a huge force coming from him, causing him to fall off his horse.
