At the same time that the soldiers and horses of the camp and Zuozhen began to move, the heavy rain almost started to stop.
The dense black clouds are gradually dispersing, and the big sun slowly rises from the mountains of Yunyang. The sunlight gushing out from the sun is as bright red as blood. It shines through the sky after the rain.
A layer of mist shone between the mountains, seeming to point out the way to the camp.
Li Laiheng was following Bai Wang's team at this time. Due to the small number of troops in the camp, it was simply divided into three levels: the commander, the old team leader, and the team leader.
Bai Wang is in charge of the team, and his team consists of about dozens of people. At this time, they are all transporting precious grain and supplies.
In Zhuxi County, in addition to looting a large amount of supplies, Liu Zongmin also seized many grain trucks from the county government. Bai Wang and Li Laiheng used all these trucks, which greatly facilitated the task of transporting supplies to the camp.
.
Li Laiheng saw Bai Wang pushing the grain cart himself. Although he was in poor physical condition due to long-term hunger, he couldn't ask for any privileges, so he took the initiative to push the cart.
Going around and around, he experienced a tragic night battle in Zhuxi County, and finally defected to the camp. But in the end, he seemed to be doing errands that were not much different from those of civilians. Li Chonger actually felt that
It's a bit funny.
He shook his head and felt that the situation was fundamentally different.
Li Guo was Li Zicheng's right-hand man, and Li Shuangxi was Li Zicheng's adopted son, but they were both on foot at this time. The team led by Li Shuangxi was similar in nature to the Ming Dynasty's border troops, and was responsible for reconnaissance.
At the front, Li Guo was pushing the cart forward just like him.
As the saying goes, those who share the same desires will win. Even Li Guo set an example and shared the roughness with the soldiers. Li Laiheng naturally felt in his heart that this was different from his previous experience among officers and soldiers.
"Brother Bai, how far are we from the old camp?" Li Laiheng breathed heavily. His body had not recovered from the long-term hunger and hard labor, and was much worse than the flying soldiers who broke into the camp.
Bai Wang replied: "Brother Shuangxi has sent someone back to the old camp to communicate. The distance is not far behind."
He looked at Li Laiheng's exhausted state, smiled and said, "The whole night of fighting last night has made things difficult for you. If you really can't sustain it, bring the food to me and I will share the burden with you.
"
Bai Wang's kindness warmed Li Laiheng's heart. He felt that since he joined the camp, he had never made any achievements except setting fire to the Chenghuang Temple. However, he received goodwill from Bai Wang and Li Shuangxi, and Li Guo even treated him with kindness.
Adopted as adopted son.
Thinking of this, Li Laiheng gritted his teeth and refused to lose the battle in front of Bai Wang. He replied: "No problem... I can't handle such a small thing. How can I have the dignity to stay in our camp?"
"Ha, you do have some backbone." Bai Wang said happily. He and Li Laiheng were not many literate people in the camp at this time, so the two of them had more in common. Naturally, Bai Wang was interested in Li Laiheng.
Be closer.
A skinny horse broke into the queue that was transporting grain and fodder to the camp. It was Li Shuangxi who was leading the reconnaissance team at night. Since Liu Zongmin was left behind, he gave the skinny horse to Li Shuangxi to ride on.
.
This brave and strong young general galloped to Li Guo's side. He looked very nervous and said: "The situation has changed urgently. A group of soldiers and horses from the left army are nearby. They have seized several hills and blocked the road.
!”
This news shocked all the soldiers in the front team. How could the officers and soldiers move so fast? Did Liu Zongmin's attempt to break off the rear failed?
Li Shuangxi was extremely anxious. According to his personal reconnaissance, the left army had slightly more soldiers and horses than the soldiers of the front army, but their armored weapons and equipment were much better. Moreover, the front army had to transport a large amount of supplies.
Once there is a fight, huge losses will inevitably be incurred.
He asked in panic: "General Liu, you won't let Zuo Bing beheaded, will you?"
Li Guo couldn't believe it, but he had great confidence in Liu Zongmin. In the past ten years, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting had spent so much effort, but they still couldn't solve Liu Zongmin. He didn't believe that Zuo Liangyu had this ability.
"Impossible. Brother Jiexuan keeps his word and will never be defeated by the Zuo soldiers." Li Guo immediately judged, "I'm afraid the Zuo army split up its forces and used its troops to search the mountains along the way to invite an attack, and bumped into us!"
Li Guo looked solemn. He looked at the rows of grain trucks and was very embarrassed. "The road is muddy. These grain trucks will get stuck in the mud after a while. It wastes too much time. If we want to rush over, we must leave everything behind."
vehicle."
He immediately ordered Bai Wang to ask the soldiers to take the grain from the cart and carry it on their backs with manpower. At the same time, Li Guo also asked everyone to throw all the relatively unimportant gold, silver, pearls, shells, wine, meat and beans into the valley.
Bai Wang was heartbroken. He had spent so much effort breaking into the camp and now he had to throw away most of the supplies he had worked so hard to capture. He couldn't bear it.
But as Li Guo said, grain trucks are easy to get stuck in the mud and slippery. Now if we want to forcefully rush back to the old camp, we can only choose to cut off our wrists and abandon some relatively unimportant things.
"Father..." Li Laiheng raised his hand at this time. He was not confident, but he still tried to say, "I have an idea. Maybe we don't have to throw away the grain truck."
Li Guo looked at Li Laiheng, the young man he had just adopted as his adopted son. Although he had been tortured by long years of hard labor and had no human form, he could still vaguely see a handsome and bright face.
Li Guo asked: "The officers and soldiers are here, we must seize the time. If you have any ideas, please tell us as soon as possible."
Li Laiheng quickly replied: "Based on my experience as a civilian husband... if the wheels of the cart are tied with straw bundles, it can prevent slipping and sinking."
This is of course not the experience he gained as a civilian husband, but the experience that Li Laiheng's later generations remembered when traveling abroad. Even in Li Laiheng's later generations, there were still many people who would tie or wrap straw ropes around the wheels when driving over the mountains.
To enhance the friction of the wheels.
Li Laiheng's idea made Li Guo and Bai Wang shine at the same time. Both of them were extremely smart people, and they immediately asked the soldiers to try it with bundles of grass from the captured supplies.
Under Li Laiheng's guidance, the soldiers who broke into the camp did not spend much time making grass rope-like anti-skid chains and tied them to the wheels of the grain truck. Although the straw ropes are easy to damage, they can be damaged in a short time.
, it is enough to greatly improve the efficiency of the grain transport truck. As long as you seize the time, you don't have to throw away materials when you go to camp.
Li Guo, who was always cold and solemn, couldn't help but show some joy on his face. In order to seize the time, he and Li Shuangxi personally worked on the straw ropes. Almost in the blink of an eye, every grain truck was
The wheels were tied with a few straw ropes, and the appearance changed.
"Okay! Shuangxi, gather up the Yebu and go to the front to clear the way." After modifying the good luck grain truck, Li Guo immediately deployed the military and said, "Bai Wang, Laiheng, gather the carts together."
, form a single team and follow us to rush through the formation!"
"As you command!"
"good!"
Bai Wang and Li Laiheng answered at the same time. Li Laiheng felt that Li Guo had asked him and Bai Wang to be responsible for gathering the cart. Apparently, he began to regard himself as a real soldier and even a general, so he was naturally very happy.
Although there were threats from Zuozhen's soldiers and horses, Li Laiheng became more and more familiar with the strong soldiers who broke into the camp. He was full of confidence in the front team's charge back to the old camp. Therefore, although he did not have the brave and extraordinary martial arts of Li Guo and Li Shuangxi,
He was also happy when he heard about the battle and no longer felt timid.
Li Guo mobilized his soldiers very quickly, as if he were using his arms and fingers. In an instant, the formation and formation of the front team had completely changed. Li Shuangxi had already taken advantage of Liu Zongmin's old and thin horse to charge ahead.
out.
The left army officers and soldiers who were active on the hilltop in the northwest also noticed Chuangying's intention to rush over at this time, and they also hurriedly switched troops and queues. However, compared to Chuangying's old and strong soldiers, they had to panic and move slowly.
A lot.
"Kill!"
Li Shuangxi shouted, and dozens of Ye Busuo, who had experienced many battles and were extremely rugged, followed him closely. The knives and swords in their hands shone coldly in the sun.
The skinny foal's hoofs violently trampled on the rocks and muddy soil, churning forward like an erupting ocean tide.
Amidst the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the soldiers who broke into the camp finally took action. The officers and soldiers of Zuozhen were a little nervous. In the chaos, the officers and soldiers shot many arrows, but due to the humidity after the rain, the bowstrings were lacking.
Power, these arrows cannot pose much threat to Chuang camp at all.
Li Laiheng also pushed a modified grain truck and rushed over. There was no fear in his heart, but he was full of excitement. The fighting spirit and fighting spirit of breaking into the camp seemed to assimilate the young man and let him face the first challenge.
Once, on a real battlefield, all that was tumbling in my heart was my fighting spirit!
The night battle in Zhuxi County is more like a chaotic brawl. The desperate rush among the mountains at this moment is the real military killing!
Rush over... Li Laiheng had only this thought in his mind. He pushed the cart hard and followed the iron flow of soldiers who broke into the camp, rushing forward like crazy.
Countless arrows flew past him, but these weak arrows did not scare him. Instead, they only accelerated Li Laiheng to become familiar with war.
The Ming army and soldiers finally adjusted their formation and formation, and then they really started to engage with the Chuang camp. The two armies were about the same size, and the Ming army had much better armor and equipment, but the Chuang camp fought for survival, and their organization and morale were different.
surpassed the Ming army.
In the rolling mist, the two armies fought together.
Li Laiheng did not stay aloof!
"Team White! We unite the carts together and fight according to the carts. This can be considered as taking care of us!"
He suggested to Bai Wang to use large grain trucks as cover and shield, and connect these grain trucks in a row to form a "car wall." Li Laiheng and Bai Wang led dozens of soldiers, using spears and knives.
Equipped with long weapons such as sticks, they fought from a high position and based on their chariots.
This tactic was equivalent to using grain trucks to form a temporary field fortification. They were condescending and assassinated the left army, causing heavy casualties to the officers and soldiers.
Moreover, the large car lying in front of him seemed to have built a psychological breakwater for Li Laiheng, so that he did not have to look directly at the life-and-death struggle between himself and the officers and soldiers at an extremely close distance.
This wave defense is helping Li Laiheng adapt to the smell of the battlefield.
He carried his saber behind his back and used a spear in his hand to stab the Zuozhen soldiers without stopping. The feeling of piercing the human body and flesh did not even have time to leave a trace of ripples in Li Laiheng's heart before he was struck by a strong
Tension and fighting spirit were replaced.
A long time later, when Li Laiheng was training some new soldiers, he would also recall the fighting at this moment. In a real battlefield, there is no time for you to be pretentious or vomit. A truly qualified army will automatically absorb you into it and become a soldier.
As a member of it, you have no time to care about anything but fighting!
