The Loess Plateau after the snow is very lonely, and you often can't meet a pedestrian for a day, but today there is a section of the river valley that is particularly "lively".

I saw hundreds of cavalry troops attacking downward like a flood, and the Qin soldiers and civilians in the river valley were also guarding the carts and waiting, and a fight was inevitable.

And the two figures on the hillside were "watching the excitement", and one of the young men dressed as old men hugged his fists with a happy face:

"King Chuang, the brothers have already rushed down, the other party is just some people, it should be able to win in a while, and then we will have enough food."

The man next to him, dressed in blue, wearing a red cloak and a Fan Yang hat, was none other than Li Zicheng, the generalissimo of Fengtian Advocate Righteousness, King Xinshun.

Li Zicheng felt a little happy when he heard his subordinates report like this, after all, his luck can be said to be bad to a certain extent these days.

It turned out that he had just become the king, and he led a group of people to besiege Kaifeng, and he was about to break the city, but he was forcibly taken by the demon wind to the outskirts of Lintao County, where birds don't.

That's it, and there are less than 10,000 people left in his army, and the food is even more pitiful. Luo Cao Cao, who was killed, fell into the well and ran away with a group of people.

Later, I didn't know where he got the food back, and he took the opportunity to dig up the corner of his old Li, but Li Zicheng was angry with him, and he couldn't even be a director for a while.

Later, Li Guo and others followed Luo Rucai, and Niu Jinxing led the troops to do these things, but the result was naturally a complete failure, and Li Zicheng, who had improved a little when the news came, almost died of anger.

Li Zicheng coughed a few times before saying, "Ahem...... Food is very important, but we also have to find a way to leave some chips and exchange people with the other party, preferably to exchange Li Guo and them back.

So Cheng Wu, you have to pay attention, don't let the brothers kill the red eyes, as long as the servants are willing to surrender, it is not impossible to spare their lives, after all, they are all from poor people. ”

"Yes, it's still benevolent to break into the king's house." Cheng Wuyi hugged his fists and flattered, but in fact, he was very disapproving.

In his opinion, Li Zicheng is old and has become a woman's benevolence, you must know that he followed Li Zicheng to rebel in order to become a big official, who cares about the life or death of the people who are officials?

"No, I have to find a way to make these people more dead and wounded, so that I can't get back a tiger and them, then I can go further in the future!"

Cheng Wu thought about it, and then pretended to be casual and waved his hand to his soldiers, bit his ear and said: "King Chuang loves the people like a son, and he can't bear to kill people, but we don't have enough food, and the people have to eat if they don't die."

So we are determined to help King Chuang get rid of these burdens that can only eat, so you go down and wait for the word to spread the word before you charge, understand? ”

The thief-eyed soldier clasped his fists and nodded, and promised in a low voice: "Understood!" ”

At this time, the cavalry had already completed the first round of charge, and because this time it was mainly a temptation, the number of people killed and wounded by the invading army was not much, but it seriously hit the morale of the Qin people.

Cheng Wu's personal soldiers on this side hurriedly stepped forward to tell a few leading cavalrymen, and they all understood after listening.

After all, those who can be made into cavalry will not be ordinary peasants, most of them are Ming army defectors, so these soldiers and bandits don't care about poverty, they only care about money and small lives.

On the other side of the river valley, although Xia Donghai and others held up the first round, everyone obviously had no confidence.

After all, they are just a food transport team, and their combat effectiveness is worrying, and the Qin army really can't draw elites to escort them at this time, so reinforcements don't exist.

Xia Donghai frowned and said, "Elder Engineer, it's not a way to go on like this." ”

The old Gongzhang's forehead tattoos were also crowded together, but he didn't have an idea, this was due to the fact that the Qin State was a soldier for all the people, and the food delivery team was also trained.

The well-informed old foreman pondered for a while before he spoke: "The old general Wang Jian once commanded the chariot battalion, that is, to put the chariots together and use them as a city wall, if we can have reinforcements, this trick will last the longest." ”

In fact, the old foreman's idea is quite good, it is indeed very brave to dodge the grain and freight truck, and put it down as a breastwork, but the second half of his sentence clearly points out that the key to this idea is reinforcements!

The car battalion can only hold on, can not counterattack and can not move quickly, to put it bluntly, it is a turtle shell, the Song army of later generations often used heavy infantry and car formations to deal with the northern nomads, and the effect can only be said to be quite lively.

Because people can't beat you, you can not beat you, just sneak attack your light infantry behind you, even if you win the nomadic cavalry, you can still calmly retreat.

Xia Donghai Yizheng suggested rhetorically: "Engineer Master, no matter what, let's set up the car formation first, as for the reinforcements...... There will definitely be! ”

The old foreman didn't know where this half-grown kid got his confidence, but the old Qin people never rapped, and they had to do it to know if they could do it.

Immediately, the old man raised his hand and shouted to everyone: "Villagers, what Xia Gongzi said is right, no matter what, we have to live first, and only in this way can we be saved."

But my old man's ugly words are also in front, no matter whether he can hold on or not, my old Qin people resolutely can't kneel and beg for mercy, even if they die, they have to stand! ”

"Understood!" "Don't worry, sir!" "Absolutely not!" Everyone also responded, and just a few words revealed the character of the old Qin people - indomitable.

"Okay, everybody, turn the cart outwards and form a wall, and everyone get behind the cart and wait for the enemy to stop before attacking with weapons!" The old foreman waved his arm and commanded.

"Hey!" Everyone agreed and began to work, Xia Donghai also stepped forward to help, and the entire river valley suddenly became a big construction site in full swing.

The intrusive army on the hillside was just now accumulating horsepower and preparing to give the Qin people a big one, and at this time, they were also attracted by their operation, and they forgot to do it for a while when no one was commanding.

And Li Zicheng just watched from a distance and didn't speak, because he knew that there was no Qin army nearby at all, and no matter how hard the Qin people tried, they would definitely lose.

But Cheng Wu didn't think so, he just wanted to lead people to quickly win the grain transportation team, so that he could show off in front of Li Zicheng and improve his status.

So Cheng Wu hurriedly secretly found his subordinates again, and asked him to urge the cavalry to attack, and his subordinates naturally obeyed his words and immediately began to drive everyone to attack.

So the Chuang army rushed towards the Qin people again in this surprise and hesitation, only this time they were no longer facing farmers and grain, but fortresses and soldiers!

Sure enough, when the cavalry rushed to the front of the camp this time, countless swords and spears stretched out, and the horses that did not dodge were stabbed one after another, and the riders fell to the ground, and the scene was very chaotic for a while!

"This!" Cheng Wu was already dumbfounded when he saw this scene, he didn't expect that this group of "people's husbands" could do this kind of thing, and attack so calmly in the face of galloping horses, I'm afraid that ordinary Ming troops can't do it!

"Ahem!" At this time, Li Zicheng coughed again, stepped forward, glanced at the battlefield, and his face changed: "No need to attack anymore, change to siege."

In addition, everyone goes to rest, and then takes turns to harass them, so as not to give them a chance to breathe. ”

Although Li Zicheng didn't blame Cheng Wu, he was already in a cold sweat at this time, so he quickly agreed: "Obey!" ”

I have to say that Li Zicheng's judgment is very correct, the Qin people can't get around hiding behind the cart, and only by besieging them while killing their will to fight is the best policy.

The Qin army is now geographically advantageous, but they are besieged and isolated, and the mental pressure is not small.

Immediately, the invading army also withdrew to the hillside and began to arrange an encirclement, and at the same time, the teams also began to take turns to go into battle, and "appeared" in front of the battle again and again.

The highly nervous Qin people couldn't judge the reality of the false, so they could only keep defending all the time, and they couldn't help but start getting tired after a while, and they became more and more powerless in the face of the routine of breaking into the army.

Although Li Zicheng on the hillside was sick, he was still keenly aware of the opportunity, and raised his hand and ordered: "Order, next time a team feints, the two teams behind will really charge together." ”

Cheng Wu didn't dare to be vague anymore, and hurriedly hugged his fists and agreed: "Obey!" ”

Li Zicheng nodded and said to himself: "Success or failure is here!" ”
