================
The moment of the battle is getting closer and closer, and the weather seems to be getting colder, creating a chilling atmosphere on this battlefield in the mountainous area of western Hubei. Snowflakes and ice crystals slowly fell on the cloak on Li Laiheng's shoulders, and some of them melted slightly
The snow water made Li Laiheng tremble.
Li Laiheng had heard the story of Li Xue's night attack on Caizhou during the Yuan Dynasty and Zhongxing Dynasty, and also knew the story of Ding Fengxue's heroic struggle in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". But these people chose to launch a battle with the nature of a surprise attack on a snowy day.
, just shows that generally speaking, campaign organizers will try to avoid fighting in bad weather such as snow.
He didn't know how long the snow would last, but there was no doubt that the weather was getting colder. Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng chose such an opportunity to engage in a decisive battle with Yang Sichang. Which side would be more difficult?
Will the hard-working rebels who are good at fighting in harsh conditions win? Or will the officers and soldiers with better material conditions and more sufficient logistics supplies win?
When we meet on a narrow road, only the brave will win.
Li Laiheng grabbed the right edge of his cloak and rolled it in front of him to block the snow. A group of jackdaws returning from the field circled in the dusk and landed on the treetops one after another, making a low and hoarse sound.
Dusk was approaching, but there was no smoke rising from the old camp as in the past. Li Laiheng knew that Tian Jianxiu, the chief steward who broke into the camp, was busy collecting supplies and food. Some of the light gold and silver items would be taken away by Tian Jianxiu and Wu Ruyi, who were paid by the officials;
In addition, Tian Jianxiu listened to the opinions of Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi and planned to hide or place them near Yiling for many large supplies that were inconvenient to carry.
They all held a kind of confidence in victory, feeling that after the war was over, they would have a chance to fight back to Yiling, and then they could retrieve these supplies.
In fact, this is not the first time that Chuangying has adopted this method. As early as the eighth year of Chongzhen, when Li Zicheng was defeated by Hong Chengchou. Before retreating, Chuangying dug holes and buried some valuables that were inconvenient to carry. The only regret was that,
Due to the rebellion of Gao Jie, the general who broke into the camp, these supplies were later poached by Gao Jie...
However, after experiencing the tragic defeats in the Taohe and Hanshui battles, those who should leave have almost left. Until now, those who are still willing to follow Li Zicheng and fight to the end with the camp are the most determined hardcore rebels.
Most of them have absolutely no reason to reconcile with the imperial court and this decadent world.
Li Laiheng wanted to take a look and help. After all, he participated in the reform of the old camp system and had a deeper understanding of logistics management than Tian Jianxiu. But Tian Jianxiu and Wu Ruyi were too busy, and they both had mother-in-law personalities.
, reluctant to part with bottles and cans, always trying to take away more things.
If Yuan Zongdi hadn't been blind and cut off more than half of Tian Jianxiu's list, I really don't know how much time Er Shaoye would have spent moving so many bottles and cans!
Li Laiheng thought about it again and decided to say goodbye to Youci before returning to the Little Tiger Squadron's camp. The daughter camp where Youci was located was about to retreat with the large troops that broke into the camp, while the Little Tiger Squadron still had to retreat.
Stay in Yiling for another night.
They were to be pit diggers, digging enough pits and large enough pits to bury the supplies that Ta Mihide really couldn't take away.
After all these things are done, the Little Tiger Team will probably follow Liu Zongmin and his group, including Liu Zongmin's troops, as well as Gao Yigong and Bai Wang's troops, and they will also have to abandon the Yiling stronghold. They will rush to the battlefield before the official army arrives.
Before that, go north to join Huaguan Suo Wang Guangen's troops.
"Aci..."
If the battle situation is unfavorable, the main force of the camp can continue to withdraw westward and return to the mountains of Shang and Yun. However, with Li Laiheng staying behind the enemy lines, his troops will be in great danger.
Once the main force of the coalition forces loses the battle and is forced to withdraw westward, Liu Zongmin, Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, and Bai Wang will all be surrounded by the overwhelmingly superior government and army, with almost no chance of survival.
Once defeated, he would most likely be separated from You Citianren. This made Li Laiheng feel a little heavy.
He asked himself, did he like Youci? Probably he did, but was it just because Youci looked similar to his little sister?
Li Laiheng couldn't answer.
He was a little melancholy, but there was no room for hypocrisy on the battlefield. He was no longer Li Chonger, a civilian from Zhuxi County. He was now the general who broke into the camp, "Ruthu Tiger" Li Laiheng, and the manager of the Little Tigers. He
He carries more than a hundred lives on his shoulders, and his decisions may even affect the lives of thousands of people who broke into the camp and tens of thousands of people in the entire coalition.
"The little tiger is here!"
Unknowingly, Li Laiheng had walked near the barracks of his daughter's camp. Baijiuhe, who was in charge of managing military supplies for the camp, stood in front of the stall in the blacksmith's barracks and greeted Li Laiheng with interest.
"Little Tiger, you have been to my daughter's camp a lot lately, haven't you?"
Bai Jiuhe's words were teasing. When he spoke loudly, the mustache on his lips would tremble. He really didn't look like a strong man from the green forest in northern Shaanxi, but rather like a master from Huizhou and Shaoxing.
"Master He... please stop teasing me." Li Laiheng smiled bitterly. He didn't come to the daughter's camp to do anything bad. He just wanted to say goodbye to You Ci. "I came to say goodbye to Ah Ci...
Master He, are you going to retreat westward with the army?"
"Second Post Master has given an order that all blacksmiths and bowsmiths must follow." Baijiu He twirled his beard twice and said slowly, "Tian Er Post wants us to take everything away, including stoves, shelves, and cinders.
Take it away... I am already very mother-in-law myself, but Master Ershao is much more mother-in-law than me."
Li Laiheng shook his head. He was also helpless with Tian Jianxiu's decisive character, "What did Uncle Han Ju say? The second sentry master is in charge of food and wages, but the military equipment is managed by Uncle Han Ju, right?"
"Hey, Lao Yuan... your uncle Hanju told the second whistle directly that he only brought gold, silver and soft goods. Keep all other large items and don't take anything away. We'll wait until we win the battle in the future.
Come back and get it."
"Haha, Uncle Han Ju is so courageous... Master He, do you also think we will definitely win?"
The largest war Li Laiheng had ever experienced was on the scale of the Battle of Junlingchuan. This time he would face an encirclement and suppression by tens of thousands of officers and soldiers when he broke into the camp... He could not imagine what a battlefield with tens of thousands of people would be like.
.
In the past, Li Laiheng always felt that the soldiers were less than ten thousand and the horses were less than a thousand, which was as shabby and ridiculous as the scale of village fighting. But during the Battle of Junlingchuan, the official army was only two thousand, and the army was only more than a thousand. In total,
The battlefield with three thousand troops was already filled with people, filling the mountains and rivers.
Only then did Li Laiheng truly understand the murderous intent and appearance of the ancient battlefield.
Tens of thousands of people, the enemy and ourselves add up, which is a battle scale of more than 20,000 people... What a Shura battlefield it will be!
"Little Tiger, I am a person who has experienced the disastrous defeats of Taohe River and Hanshui River..." Baijiuhe looked a little dazed when he heard Li Laiheng's question. He seemed to be recalling some past events, "When Chuangying was at its peak, he directly controlled and influenced
There were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the army. But after the disastrous defeats at Taohe River and Hanshui River, I, Lao Yuan, and many other people in the camp. We all gradually felt that the huge but scattered army was
, it can’t block the thunderous strike of the imperial soldiers.”
"When you win, such a large army can certainly sweep through. But when you fail, it melts away like snow under the sun. But after Shang and Yun reorganized their armies, although they broke into the camp several times,
The ten thousand people have declined to only a thousand, but I feel that the remaining more than a thousand people are even more powerful than when tens of thousands were rampaging across Qin in the past."
"When we were still in Shaanxi, we fought against Cao Wenzhao, the most powerful man in the Ming army."
Bai Jiuhe leisurely mentioned the past events of breaking into camp in Shaanxi and fighting with Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao. Cao Wenzhao was the most powerful and powerful general in the Ming Dynasty's frontier army at that time. He was Hong Chengchou's right-hand man and accidentally fell into an ambush by the rebels.
, was besieged and died, but the rebels also suffered great losses in annihilating Cao Wenzhao's troops.
"Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses are considered to be the first-class elite among the Ming army. But recently I feel that the more than a thousand people left in our camp, although their equipment and equipment are far from comparable to Cao Wenzhao's.
But in terms of energy and spirit, they are no less than those of Lao Cao’s subordinates!"
Li Laiheng nodded. The last thousand people who broke into the camp were all veteran soldiers who had fought for the rest of their lives. They had experienced too many victories and defeats. It could be said that they had looked down on life and death. Naturally, they were not as prepared for the upcoming war as they were.
