The weather in April has become warmer, and it stands to reason that if it is a peaceful year, this is the busiest time in the fields, but in this troubled time, most of the fields have been deserted.

The climate in the northwest is not very good, there is a lack of water and rain, and there are many mountains, and the harvest of farming is far inferior to that of central and southern Jizhou, and it is not as good as Yuzhou.

In addition, the people have all gone to work as Liukou and participated in the Tanglin Road, not to mention what farming and grain cultivation things are.

Originally, Li Qi's plan was to bypass the heavily guarded county towns and directly attack Tanglin Mountain after converging with the Tang Dynasty, but he failed to bypass it.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers and horses of these five counties were all mobilized and gathered in Linbing County.

The 8,000 elites of the Yanshan battalion were discovered by the mobilized thieves on the way, and all of a sudden, the so-called guardian soldiers in the entire Linbing County were all assembled and ready to fight.

This doesn't hurt, in fact, in Tang Pidi's opinion, it is better for the enemy to gather in one place by himself, saving him from fighting county by county.

Dealing with such an enemy, Tang Pidi felt that it would be a waste of half a day.

Inside and outside Linbing County here, the number of thieves gathered is increasing, and there are no less than tens of thousands.

Although Tanglin Road claims to have hundreds of thousands of sect members, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers who can really fight.

In these five counties, the number of people who were captured, forced, and tempted by all kinds of methods was only about 45,600.

There are no decent weapons and armor, let alone decent armor, and even the team is not neatly organized, if you can command smoothly, it is a magical thing.

However, when the number of people reached 10,000, the scene was already extremely shocking, and 40,000 or 50,000 thieves gathered together, and they themselves felt that they could swallow mountains and rivers.

The word "many people" actually fully expresses the kind of thinking of people, tens of thousands of people get together, and everyone will feel that they are all cowhides.

Tang Pi was very disgusted, especially after seeing the enemy soldiers in person.

It's like Li Qi coaxed him to come, saying that he was inviting him to a big meal, but when he arrived, it was just a pimple soup, and there were not many pimples.

"It looks quite fat, like meat."

Tang Pidi sat on horseback and pointed to the endless camp of thieves outside the county.

"Actually, it's a piece of tofu, or tofu dregs."

Tang Pi didn't look down on those thieves at all, and after killing these forty or fifty thousand people, there were not many iron weapons that could be obtained, let alone serious weapons and armor.

Li Qi said: "You have to come out very seriously, this is the first official expedition, if you are like this, the soldiers ......."

Tang Pi said: "Okay, okay, okay." ”

He turned around and asked, "Is breakfast ready?" ”

Jia Ruan, the senior brother of the Hanging Knife Gate, who was in charge of logistics, stepped forward and said, "General Hui, it's ready." ”

Tang Pi said: "Then start eating." ”

He dismounted from his horse and said as he went, "I told you not to prepare lunch here." ”

Jia Ruan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Not ready for lunch?" ”

Tang Pidi smiled: "It's not that I don't prepare, I don't prepare here, I will go to the county seat to eat after the fight." ”

About half an hour after breakfast, Tang Pidi ordered the horn to be blown, and the soldiers quickly assembled.

Tang Pi said: "General Liu, this is the first battle, the soldiers of the Yanshan battalion may be a little panicked, you bring your soldiers and horses to give them a sample." ”

Liu Ge smiled: "Okay. ”

Tang Pidi said again: "Shantai, the rest of the soldiers and horses are handed over to you, after General Liu charges, you take people up to clean up." ”

Yutai nodded: "Obey." ”

After giving the order, Tang Pidi looked at Li Qi and asked, "How far is it from Tanglin Mountain?" ”

Li Qi said: "It will take about two days to march. ”

Tang Pidi immediately shouted loudly: "One hour is over, one."

The hour cleaned up the mess, and at noon in the county town of Linbing, the meal was opened, and after eating, it was opened. ”

"Whew!"

The soldiers responded in unison.

Tang Pidi moved for a moment, and then ordered: "After the fight, tell those so-called Donglin Dao believers that if they quit the religion, they will not die, and if they do not retreat, they will be killed." ”

"Blow the horn!"

As the whining horn sounded, Liu Ge began to move forward slowly with three thousand soldiers.

The training that the regular government soldiers of Dachu has undergone is not comparable to those rabble.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for Yu Jiuling going back and saying that there were hundreds of thousands of sectarians in Tanglin Dao, Tang Pi would not want to come in person, so it would be enough for Liu Ge to bring 3,000 people.

Liu Ge led the army straight to the thief army.

There is no temptation, and there is no need for any temptation.

The three thousand soldiers marched forward in a phalanx, and when they were about to fight, the phalanx turned into a swallowtail and charged towards the thief army.

Tang Pi sat down on the high slope, glanced at the direction of the battle, and after just one look, he lost interest.

"Do they have a lot of food and grass?"

He asked Li Qi.

Li Qi shook his head: "How much grain and grass there is, it's just chicken ribs, it's a pity to abandon it, it's delicious." ”

Tang Pidi sighed: "That's even more boring. ”

Li Qi said: "The next game? ”

Tang Pi said: "I didn't bring the chess box, how can I play?" ”

Li Qi said: "Play a game to block the pit? ”

Tang Pi said: "You are the big boss, I am the main general of the first army, when you are in the battle array, you actually want to play a game with me to block the pit?" ”

He glared at Li Qi and said, "Then let's talk about it first, don't cheat." ”

Plugging the thatched pit is a kind of chess game often played by the people here in Jizhou, there are only four chess pieces in total, two for each person, also known as jumping into the well, suffocating the cow, and so on and so on.

You don't need to use chess pieces, just pick up something to use, as long as you distinguish the two people's chess pieces are different.

Li Qi took a deep breath, his face solemn.

Tang Pi said: "Play a plug pit...... As for you? ”

Li Qi said: "I'm just...... After squaaning for a while, I repeatedly mentioned the word Maokeng, and I felt that there was some mysterious power calling in my stomach......"

Don Pidi: "Knocking on the door?" ”

Li Qi said: "It's almost ......"

Tang Pidi: "Hurry up, stink me again in a while." ”

At the same time, there are still about two days away from Jizhou, and the Yanzhou army is marching forward, and the 150,000 army is coming from all over the field.

Luo Jing was urging the horse forward, and someone behind him caught up with him and shouted at him, Luo Jing looked back and saw that it was the Youzhou messenger.

The herald chased all the way from Youzhou, clasped his fists in front of and behind Luo Jing, and then took out a letter and handed it to Luo Jing.

Luo Jing unfolded the letter and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed.

This is a handwritten letter from his father Luo Geng, in which Luo Geng informed him that the Yanzhou thief Lao Shuize had arrived, brought an army of 200,000, and would attack Zhou Shiren from behind, and Luo Geng asked him to find an opportunity to leave the Yanzhou army.

When the Yanzhou army breaks through Jizhou, Zhou Shiren will be extremely happy, and it must be the time when the defense is the most loose and weak, and then the Baishan army will storm the Yanzhou army.

The letter also mentioned that in order to train its troops, the Baishan Army had already marched north and attacked the Yanshan camp first.

Luo Jing's face changed constantly, he was silent for a long time, put the letter away, and said to the messenger: "You go back and tell my father, I already know it, and I will act according to the plan." ”

The messenger received the command and drove the horse away.

After a long time, Luo Jing still couldn't hold back after all, and said to Luo Zhijie on the side: "Help me do something, you must not let others know, and you can't let my father know." ”

Luo Zhijie leaned over and said, "The young general just commands." ”

Luo Jing lowered his voice and said, "You go to one personally."

went to Yanshan, looked for the camp of the Green Eyebrow Army, and told Li Qi that the 200,000 troops of the Baishan Army were already going to attack his cottage, so that he could plan early. ”

Luo Zhijie's face changed, and he said with some embarrassment: "Major General, if the Great General just sent a messenger to inform him, it must be arranged by the Great General, if the Major General sends me to the Yanshan Camp, the Great General will know about it......"

Luo Jing frowned slightly and said, "Will you go and tell my father?" ”

Luo Zhijie hurriedly said: "The subordinates don't dare." ”

Luo Jing said: "You just have to go and tell Li Qi, and it's not to help the Yanshan battalion to fight the Baishan army bandits, I heard that now Li Qi is in the Yanshan camp, there are no more than 10,000 soldiers, there will be no more than a few people, how can you stop the 200,000 Baishan army, I just want to return him a favor and let him escape in advance." ”

Luo Zhijie had no choice but to respond, left the brigade with a team of personal soldiers, and turned to the north.

Luo Jing let out a long breath and said to himself: "This time, even if I really gave you all the favors...... Li Qi, Li Qi, you ask for more blessings, in this chess game, it is really not a person like you who can enter the game casually. ”

Linbing County.

One hour to break the enemy, another hour to clean up the battlefield.

Three thousand soldiers directly broke through the thief soldiers of the Chinese army, in fact, it didn't take an hour at all, but it only took half an hour to kill the Chinese army.

Where will Fang Yuzhou, a defector Taoist, lead his troops to fight, he will only kill people and force his subordinates to charge.

His personal martial arts are one thing, and his ability to fight is another.

After the government soldiers broke through the Chinese army, those soldiers in the Yanshan battalion saw that it was so easy, and their morale was immediately boosted, and they attacked from the other side under the leadership of the Tangtai Pressure Realm.

8,000 people were extremely unreasonable to complete a two-sided attack on more than 40,000 people......

And it's very cool.

On the side of the hill, Li Qi looked sincere: "This time it really counts, twenty-one games and eleven wins, this is the decisive game!" ”

Tang Pidi squinted his eyes at Li Qi, from two wins in three games to three wins in five games, to four wins in seven games, and then to eleven wins in twenty-one games, Li Qi can be said to have played his shamelessness to the fullest.

"General!"

The herald sent back by Liu Ge galloped over, dismounted when he got close, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists: "Report to the general, the fight is over!" ”

Tang Pidi got up and said, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

Li Qi said: "Is there really no more next game?" ”

Tang Pi said: "Your chess stinks better than fart." ”

Li Qi said: "Nonsense, you come to smell it." ”

Don rival: "......"

When he arrived at the gate of Linbing County, Tang Pidi looked around, and all the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground were all black.

Tang Pi said: "I will go up and shout twice, and come down when I am done." ”

Li Qi smiled: "You call yours, I'll go and see what the loot is." ”

Tang Pidi climbed the city wall of Linbing County, glanced down, cleared his throat and shouted: "Go home and go farming, I will come to harvest grain in the autumn, and if there is no grain at that time, I will cut you all down!" ”

Liu Ge shouted under the city: "Let them go, these cowards, we will not stay if they surrender." ”

The soldiers of the Yanshan battalion kicked one by one, kicking those people to the ground, and a group of so-called guardian soldiers who were originally ordinary people ran away in embarrassment.

Liu Ge looked at Tang Pidi, who came from the lower city, and asked, "Is it really autumn to collect grain?" ”

Tang Pidi said with a smile: "In this kind of place, the food they beat down is enough for themselves to eat, so they don't have to be thieves again, and they are all coerced, so they won't kill this time." ”

Liu Ge smiled: "It is estimated that a large number of people will be scared away." ”

As he was talking, he saw Jia Ruan coming up with the logistics team, and Jia Ruan's face was incredible: "Our breakfast pot hasn't been brushed yet, and the battle is over?" ”

When Li Qi heard it, he smiled and said, "Ninth sister, remember that Jia Ruan is too slow to brush the pot, and he will be punished." ”

Jia Ruan: "......"
