Chapter 225 The night is very dark and the wind is very strong
The night was so dark that I couldn't see even if I stretched out my hand!
The wind was so strong that the trees in the forest were blown loudly!
On this dark and windy night, Li Xuan and the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty gathered together to eat and drink, trying to relieve the fatigue and depression after running away all day today.
"Okay, okay, don't drink too much. The Ming army is behind you. If you drink too much and you can't get up, what will you do if the Ming army comes and fights? Do you want to get drunk and fight with the Ming army?"
When Qian Mengjiu entered the camp, he looked at the warriors in front of him who were drinking one bowl after another, and was quite dissatisfied.
Fang Dongquan burped and said: "Old Jiu, you are worrying so much. It's late at night, and it's still so dark. Those Ming troops behind us are stupid and would come over to beat us!"
"Yes, yes, if those Ming troops came here to do some kind of night attack, they would probably get separated on the way. Mr. Qian, you are worrying too much!" Wang Shanxu also took a bite of the fat meat and ate it while eating.
Forget about scolding Qian Mengjiu for a long time:
Butcher Chen also chuckled: "Come on, come on, Mr. Qian, we have left half a pig leg for you. Let me tell you, this wild boar meat tastes stronger than those domesticated pigs. Come on, you can too."
have a bite!"
Qian Mengjiu was furious when he saw the half pig leg handed over by Butcher Chen.
How abominable!
These warriors dare to be so disrespectful of etiquette in front of His Majesty, and their ugly behavior of drinking and eating meat is so ugly that it makes people feel that they are ungentlemanly.
What's even more disgusting is that they almost devoured the wild boar. Looking at the table's remnants and only half of the pig leg left, his heart was bleeding!
On the road in the evening, they encountered a wild boar that ran out of nowhere. Although the wild boar was not big, it was plump and looked very delicious at first glance. At that time, Cao Mingda of the cavalry volunteered and took the wild boar with him.
Several cavalrymen captured the wild boar, which weighed nearly two hundred kilograms.
He, Qian Mengjiu, had just arranged the camp affairs and arrived a little late. They had eaten up all the fat in the wild boar meat, leaving only half of the pig's trotters for him.
It's really heartbreaking. As senior generals of the Tang Dynasty, you actually look like bandits. It's really outrageous.
At this time, Li Xuan also said: "Qian Aiqing is right. Although the Ming army is unlikely to come up, it is best not to drink too much, so as not to cause trouble!"
Seeing Li Xuan speak, Fang Dongquan and Butcher Chen stopped drinking. However, although they stopped drinking, their mouths did not stop. Butcher Chen said: "It's okay, it's not a problem. Don't say we didn't drink much.
Even if I drink too much, Grandpa, I can still beat down those bastards of the Ming Army!"
Fang Dongquan chuckled and said: "We have night-time realm troops outside. If the Ming army dares to touch them, we will know immediately and then we can give them a hard blow!"
While they were talking, on a hillside a few miles away from their small ravine, a fire dragon was circling on the winding road on the mountainside, like a giant snake.
After Su Jiakang panted up the mountain, he looked at the dark wilderness ahead, with a hint of excitement in his brows.
"Sir, the scouts have found out that the puppet Tang bandits are in a small valley five miles away. When we arrive, we will definitely be able to kill all the pseudo-Tang bandits without leaving any trace behind!" Su Jiakang said.
Next to him, a young man with a short stature and a vulgar face said in a flattering tone.
This was Luo Mazi, Su Jiakang's personal follower. He was still panting when he spoke, and when he opened his mouth and matched his expressions and movements, he was just like a pug.
Su Jiakang nodded slightly: "Let the soldiers work harder, tonight we will kill all the puppet Tang rebels!"
Su Jiakang was in high spirits, but several Ming army generals behind him were muttering in low voices!
"Master Wang, we can't go on like this. If we go any further, our brothers will be unable to walk. And even if we can catch up with the puppet Tang rebel army, how can we defeat the puppet Tang rebel army in this way? How can we not be attacked by them?
Just one bite is good!" A deputy Qianhu general said with a worried look on his face: "Brothers have not rested for a day and a night, and there are already many brothers who are falling behind. If we continue like this, I am afraid we will be able to reach the end of the war.
There are less than half of the brothers in front of the Tang rebel army!"
When others said this, Wang Zhitan also frowned!
He looked at the high-spirited Su Jiakang in front of him, and in his heart he wished he could kill this self-righteous county magistrate.
This Su Jiakang was only thinking about defeating the main force of the puppet Tang rebel army and capturing the puppet emperor Li Xuan alive. He did not consider the lives of his soldiers at all.
If he continued to chase according to Su Jiakang's words, Wang Zhitan could already predict the possible outcome, either being defeated in the night attack or getting separated during the night attack.
And it's also possible that the soldiers below might just mutiny.
Why do you say mutiny? Because Wang Zhitan had this idea.
Su Jiakang's ability to lead troops is really unreliable. He always makes some messy choices that he thinks are very clever. For example, he designed a series of plots to lure the pseudo-Tang rebels to Zhengtai County.
He said that he had rushed to attack Zhengtai County yesterday as soon as he arrived, and that he would conduct a night attack tonight.
But in the end, the puppet Tang rebel army was led to Zhengtai County, but they turned around and captured Zhengtai. As a result, the Ming army was very passive. If it hadn't been for the capture of Zhengtai County in the early morning this morning
, I am afraid that one by one of these senior generals, they will have to die together with Su Jiakang.
As for the rush to attack the city yesterday evening, saying that they wanted to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the puppet Tang thief army, Su Jiakang did not even think about it. The puppet Tang thief army has a unstable foothold, but we ourselves are no better than you.
After running for a day, they hurriedly attacked the city. They didn't even have many siege equipment, only a few long ladders, and these were abandoned outside the city by the puppet Tang rebels.
As a result, both of their offensives were blocked by the puppet Tang rebel army, and they failed to capture Zhengtai County, and suffered heavy casualties.
In the battle yesterday evening, hundreds of young and strong people were killed and wounded. In addition, the regular army also suffered more than 100 casualties. This adds up to almost 300 casualties.
As a result, Su Jiakang didn't even blink when he heard the casualty report!
At that time, Wang Zhitan knew that Su Jiakang, the great master, did not regard warriors like them as human beings at all. As long as he could achieve meritorious service and get promoted, he would probably give more than a thousand of them to the puppet Tang thief army to eat.
There will be no hesitation at all.
Now, what kind of night attack does Su Jiakang want to play?
Night raids are so fun?
Not to mention that they were exhausted and unable to fight at all. Even those with sufficient physical strength would find it difficult to carry out extremely difficult tactics such as night attacks!
I can't play with this bastard Su Jiakang anymore, I have to find a way, otherwise I won't know how I will die by then.
After thinking for a moment, he summoned a soldier beside him, then lowered his head and said a few words to the soldier. After hearing this, the soldier was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly and turned to leave.
