Chapter 56: Junior General Luo Cheng

At the sound of the horn, the Goryeo soldiers began to dismantle the tents, and at the same time wrapped the blankets and coats that covered their sleeping bodies, and tied them up on the backs of their horses. Judging by the way they looked, they were ready to march out of camp.

"Not good! It was really said by Wei Chi Jingde! The enemy forces really moved so quickly! After receiving the report, Yu Wenming's heart was also slightly frightened, and his eyes flickered: "This morning, the enemy is still acting normally, and has no intention of moving. It was only after the return of the cavalry at noon that the abnormal movement occurred. It seems that nine times out of ten, the enemy discovered our army's convoy of grain and grass and baggage, so he was ready to go to the raid! ”

"Hmmm! Judging from the fact that they also had to bring tents and grain, the distance between our army's grain, grass and baggage convoy must be more than 100 miles. That's why they had to move all these things. Hong Xiu gently plucked the hair on his forehead and said.

"The route of our army's march has long been determined, and it is possible to roughly calculate the position of the convoy of grain and grass baggage...... Now we will go to the avenue immediately, inform the grain and grass baggage convoy in advance, and let them take precautions and wait for reinforcements to arrive! Yu Wenming immediately decided.

The eight men immediately mounted their horses and headed south. They had few men and few supplies, so they could be ahead of the Goryeo army and join the convoy of grain, grass and baggage.

If he goes back to report to Yu Wenshu and waits for him to send a large army to the rescue, it will definitely be too late.

Yu Wenming and the others traveled south for more than two hours, the sky had gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the land of western Liaoning, dyeing the white wasteland with a layer of golden veil.

At this time, in front of their eyes, a long convoy finally appeared, stretching for nearly two miles, with about hundreds of large carts. There were also more than a thousand Sui soldiers escorting him. Since it is far from the main road, the road is very difficult to walk, and the big cars travel very slowly.

"What people! Get your name in! Otherwise, the arrows will be released! When the escorting Sui army saw eight cavalrymen of unknown origin approaching, they immediately opened their bows and arrows, and shouted vigilantly.

"We're from the scout group, and we just discovered that 5,000 Goryeo troops are raiding here!" Yu Wenming hurriedly replied. At this time, he asked rhetorically, "Are you from the baggage team?" that your Lord will come out for a moment! ”

When those Sui soldiers heard that the Goryeo army was coming, they were also shocked, and hurriedly went back to report. A moment later, a young general, Fang galloped over on a white horse.

Yu Wenming looked at it and saw that this person was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair skin, clear eyebrows, a pair of black and white eyes flashing with sharp light, and his appearance was handsome and abnormal. He was wearing a bright unicorn bright light armor, a beautiful silver-white silk cloak behind him, a purple gold helmet on his head, and a shining five-hook divine flying silver spear in his hand.

"What a handsome young player! Compared with the captain, they are not inferior. Hong Xiu looked at this young general, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Although the other people didn't know this young general, they all felt the fierce momentum exuded by this handsome young man, and knew that he was definitely not a human being.

"I am Yu Wenming, the commander of the 10th group of the 10th team of the scout regiment, and we found the Goryeo army one hundred and twenty miles from here, numbering about 5,000 people, and they should have gone to the rear of our army to attack the sneak attack troops attacking our grain and grass convoy......

Yu Wenming briefly introduced himself, and then immediately said: "This Goryeo army is currently rushing in this direction, and I suspect that you have been discovered by them. The general has to be prepared early! ”

After listening to what he said, the young general said with a look of surprise: "Yu Wenming? But what about the grandson of Xu Guogong, who was famous in the Eastern Capital three years ago and was known as a prodigy in Luoyang? ”

Yu Wenming didn't expect his reputation to reach the ears of this young general. At this time, he had to nod and say, "It's just a cheap name, not enough to worry about." But I don't know the general's surname? ”

The young general hurriedly made a series of words: "Under the surname Luo, the single name is a word, and the current general of the Zuoling Guard's grain and grass baggage regiment." According to the rules, please also ask Brother Yuwen to say the password! ”

He obviously didn't believe that the Goryeo army still had the spare strength to mobilize 5,000 soldiers and horses to take the initiative to attack the Sui territory when the Sui army's troops were pressing the border.

"What? Your name is Luo Cheng? But the son of Yanshan Luo Yi? After Yu Wenming heard this, he was taken aback, he didn't expect that this seventh hero in "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" really had a person in history. And he is in the same army as himself.

"My father is Luo Yi, Brother Yuwen has met my father?" Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly.

Yu Wenming had regained his composure at this time, and although he was a little surprised to see Luo Cheng, he was not so fuss after seeing too many celebrities. And now the most important thing is to find a way to resist the enemy as soon as possible.

He hurriedly said the password, and then took out his identity as the leader of the scout gang of the Zuoling Guard.

After Luo Cheng and the other general standing beside him checked it for a while, Fang nodded, confirmed that it was correct, and returned the waist card to Yu Wenming.

"Brother Luo, the situation is urgent now, and the enemy is full of cavalry, they should arrive here within an hour. We had to find a place to stay...... By the way, how did you end up here? After Yu Wenming withdrew the token, Fang asked with a frown.

For he knew very well that this was not the route of the march of the great army.

After Luo Cheng heard this, he also smiled bitterly: "Our convoy was originally traveling along the avenue, but I didn't expect that when we passed the Xiaoling River in front, we found that due to the turn of the weather, the river thawed, causing the ice to become thinner and the cart could not pass. Therefore, we had to divert and cross the river from the shallow upstream. In this way, it is natural to deviate from the original route of the march. ”

After Yu Wenming heard this, he also shook his head secretly, although Luo Cheng's approach was beyond reproach, but in this way, it would give the Sui army reinforcements a lot more time to find them.

He looked at the carts, and saw that behind each cart, there were two men pushing the carts. They shouted and shouted as they tried to move forward, and their expressions were extremely numb.

"Brother Luo, we must find a place to defend that we can hold, and then send someone to inform the general and send reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise this place will be flat, and after the enemy's five thousand elite iron cavalry arrives, we can only be slaughtered!" Yu Wenming said loudly.

Luo Cheng nodded, he naturally understood this truth. It's just that there's something around here that can hold on!

He glanced at several teams around him, and they all shook their heads, they were all from Beiping Province, and the terrain in this area was unfamiliar.

"I do know that there is a valley nearby, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we can get there, we should be able to hold it for a while!" At this time, Hong Xiu, who had not spoken, spoke. He is a native of Zhuo County and is very familiar with the surrounding terrain.

Yu Wenming and Luo Cheng glanced at each other, and they both nodded helplessly. Because if you take hundreds of carts full of grain, grass and baggage on the road like this, fighting hard with 5,000 elite enemy horsemen on this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack plain is tantamount to seeking your own death.

Of course, they can also give up their grain and grass and flee for their lives, but in that case, Yuwenshu's army will run out of food. Whether it is Yu Wenshu or Luo Cheng, they will be severely punished by Yang Guang. Especially Luo Cheng, my career may end here.

Although, Yu Wenming and Luo Cheng don't know if the place Hong Xiu said can be kept, but there is a place to go that never stays here and waits for death.

Luo Cheng sent his own brother Luo Chun to inform the reinforcements. Then he ordered the convoy to be rerouted to the valley that Hong Xiu had mentioned. The soldiers of the Sui army and the people who escorted the cart learned that the enemy was coming, and they also used their strength to eat milk and drove the cart to the valley.
