Chapter 1182: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (72) Unforgiving
When they came, they were as swift as the wind, and when they returned, they were wriggling on the ground like a snail, and the long procession stretched out on the snow for several miles, and the carts were filled with all kinds of supplies, from grain to cloth, and the Changqiaoji in Huining County and the eight villages below were looted as if they had encountered locusts. Popular novel The soldiers lined up on both sides, in the middle were the people who were kidnapped by them, these people were either carrying or picking, those were originally their belongings, but now they have become the spoils of the Xizhao army, compared to the loss of these property, the people are more afraid of it, they don't know where their own fate is, looking at the smiling Xizhao army, the resentment in their eyes is extremely strong, if the bandits are hateful, the bandits are just robbing property, but these Xizhao troops are more hateful than the bandits, not only money, but also people.
Guo Fu rode on the horse, the pride in his heart was beyond overflowing, this time the operation was completely proposed and organized by him, from the collection of intelligence to the final attack, and now he has received a lot of money, not only to solve the urgent needs of his own troops, but also to benefit the entire army, and his status in the eyes of the general will rise even more because of this battle.
Yes, Guo Fu thinks this is a war. Even if their opponents are just some unarmed civilians. Looking at his soldiers, Guo Fu was beaming.
His soldiers were technically more like county clowns at this time. A sentry chief walking beside Guo Fu, wrapped in a red sheet, carried a spear on his shoulder, picked up a few chickens and ducks with their feet tied, and tied a cloth bag around his neck, which actually contained some flatbread, which was probably fished out of the people's pot.
Looking farther away, almost all of the one or two thousand soldiers were like this, covered with looted bits and pieces.
From time to time the people in the ranks fell. Immediately the soldiers shouted and cursed, and the spear in his hand struck mercilessly on the back and leg of the fallen man, and angrily reprimanded them to get up and continue on. Even if these people who fell were just old people and women, Guo Fu ignored all this, in his opinion, these were all people under the rule of the enemy, and they were naturally enemies.
When it comes. It took him more than 2,000 soldiers to work for most of the night, but now, half a day has passed, and they have only walked less than half of the way. Read the full text of the latest chapter, but Guo Fu is not in a hurry, first, because Huining's garrison was originally only 5,000 people, and last night the general Li Mingjun knocked out 1,000 of them, with the general's 2,000 cavalry in the rear, he was not afraid of Huining's enemies chasing after him, if Zhou Zilong really didn't want to run for his life, it could only become a ghost under the general's sword. I think the general would never refuse such a feat.
As for whether this action will cause a full-scale war between the two countries, Guo Fucai didn't bother to think about it, Lao Tzu has become like this, if you want to eat or not, if you want to drink or not, you can't even fuck the bandits, where can you manage so much? Even if the top blames it, there is a tall top, isn't there a big general? He is Zhao Shoufu's favorite general, what else can he do?
Lift the skin around you. Mei Zizi took a sip of wine, and a wave of warmth rose from the dantian at once, and instantly passed through the whole body, which he copied from a villager's house yesterday. The villager seems to have a very good family background, and there is actually a fine wine produced by the Wu family of the Han Kingdom, grandma's, Wu's wine is good, but it is also expensive, how long have you not drunk it? A dignified general. is not as good as a flat-headed person on the other side, this day is really unbearable.
"General Guo, let everyone rest for a while!" A tooth general rushed over and said.
"How far have you gone before you have to rest? Is it because the common people are disobedient? Guo Fuhu raised his face, "Whip them, no matter how honest they are, slaughter a few chickens to show the monkeys." ”
General Ya said with a smile: "General Guo, it's not that those mud-legged people are disobedient, it's that many brothers really can't walk. ”
Guo Fu's face was even colder: "Aren't they as strong as these mud legs?" ”
"No, General Guo, weren't the brothers hungry in the past, but today they have something to eat, many brothers really eat a little too much, hold on, and hurry to go, many people have bad stomachs, among the subordinate troops, there are several abdominal pain rolling on the ground, it seems, I'm afraid it won't happen, I think it's better to let the brothers rest and digest it, otherwise, there will only be more people with such symptoms."
Hearing this reason, Guo Fu's face was more brilliant and exciting: "A group of cheap bones, Lao Tzu has only heard that there are people who starved to death, and I really haven't seen anyone who died of hunger." ”
Having said that, but the army is his own capital, Guo Fu reluctantly gave an order, "Rest on the spot, it just so happens that we are waiting for the general, and the general should also catch up." ”
Li Mingjun grabbed more supplies and food from Changqiaoji, but his retreat was not as smooth as Guo Fu's, first when he was in the town, more than a dozen soldiers inexplicably disappeared with men and horses, and then on the way to retreat, enemy reinforcements from Huining finally arrived.
This is Zhou Zilong's headquarters, about 3,000 people, after converging the 1,000 garrisons in Oak Bay, nearly 4,000 people followed him not far away, neither attacking nor retreating, just following them in the shadow.
Li Mingjun had tried to defeat this army, but the command of Zhou Zilong was extremely cunning, the formation of the army was kept extremely tight, once it was found that Li Mingjun had the intention of attacking, he immediately assembled into a phalanx, the most hateful thing is that this army, actually with the latest weapon of the Han army, the crossbow, this kind of fire, hundreds of crossbow arrows, a sharp weapon with a range of hundreds of steps, is a huge threat to the rushing horse team, after an attack and the loss of more than a dozen cavalry, Li Mingjun gave up this plan, Because Zhou Zilong had gathered about two hundred cavalry in addition to this infantry phalanx, and he had just begun to attack his infantry phalanx, this guy's two hundred cavalry appeared from the flank, launched an attack on his convoy, and fired rockets at the convoy from a distance, with the obvious intention of burning these materials.
Li Mingjun had no choice but to withdraw the troops attacking Zhou Zilong to pursue those cavalry, but as soon as those cavalry saw them return, they immediately ran away without a trace, and Zhou Zilong's infantry became active at this time, and the phalanx was slowly approaching forward.
The two sides were at a stalemate, Li Mingjun's cavalry had an absolute advantage in mobility, but they had to take care of the materials on the huge convoy and did not dare to stay away, and Zhou Zilong could not take the initiative to attack the cavalry of as many as 2,000 people.
Li Mingjun saw that his opponent was following him reluctantly, but he sneered twice, and didn't pay attention to it, waiting for himself to join Guo Fu's thousands of soldiers, and then come to clean up these things that don't know whether they are alive or dead. If it weren't for the fact that he had grabbed enough things now, he really had the heart to knock Hui Ning, Zhou Zilong pulled out the team, Hui Ning is now an unprecedented emptiness, but now he doesn't have this mind, if he goes to fight Hui Ning himself, these looted things will not be able to be saved, and it is not a good idea to use cavalry to attack even a city that is not defended by a regular army.
But after seeing the situation of Guo Fu's troops, Li Mingjun's previous idea was like being poured from the head to the soles of his feet by a scoop of cold water. Yesterday, the team was in high spirits, and the team that braved the wind and snow is now staggering and lying or sitting on the snow, and their bodies are more and more bloated, and they have to be more pickled and more pickled.
On the side, more than a dozen soldiers were wielding whips to force some young men to dig a pit, looking at the corpses of a dozen soldiers placed on the edge of the pit, Li Mingjun's face sank.
"What's going on?" He looked at Guo Fu who ran in front of him and asked with a calm face.
Guo Fu was also a little ashamed, "General, these few people who are not angry actually supported themselves to death, they ate too much, and they have been in a hurry, so they died in vain." ”
Listening to Guo Fu's explanation, Li Mingjun really didn't know whether to laugh or suffer, there were really people who were alive and dying, but this also reflected another grim reality from one side, how unbearable the situation his troops are facing now, if it wasn't for the fact that they were so hungry, how could such a situation occur.
Guo Fu's eyes were attracted by the long convoy that arrived with Li Mingjun, "Or the general has vision and courage, how can there be such a big gain if he doesn't play the Long Bridge Collection?" ”
"There is a ghost with hanging boots behind him, Zhou Zilong is just starting out, he has suffered such a big loss, and he has followed unrelentingly, if it is not for the transportation of these materials back to solve the urgent needs of the troops, I really want to go back and knock him out, and then go to fight a dozen Huining. This thing, who doesn't know whether to live or die, actually pulled out all of Hui Ning's team, and he was not afraid that Hui Ning would be eaten by me. ”
"Zhou Zilong is the army of Eastern Zhao, but the county order of Huining is an official of the Han Dynasty, the two are not unified, he also has his own way, general, do you want me to teach him a lesson, such a junior who doesn't know whether he lives or dies, I'm afraid he doesn't even know how to fight."
"You soldiers, can you still fight now?" Li Mingjun looked at Guo Fu's subordinates, his face was ugly, "Let them get up, let's go, we can't stop for too long, if it's dark, I don't know what will happen." Zhou Zilong is probably also waiting for dark, and the power of our cavalry will be greatly reduced at that time. ”
"Yes, General." Guo Fu nodded, "It's not far from us Pinggu, even at our current speed, it will only take an hour at most, I don't believe that Zhou Zilong still dares to follow Pinggu." ”
"Send someone back to inform the other troops, let them come out to pick them up, if Zhou Zilong really dares to follow, I don't mind eating him." Li Mingjun looked back at the misty wind and snow, and said coldly. (To be continued.) )
