Chapter 238: Red Lady, First Battle
Liu Zongmin is very efficient.
In less than evening, his main force approached Xu Changqing's camp and set up camp by a small stream four or five miles before the battle.
However, even if he had already expected Xu Changqing, when he really saw the scale of Xu Changqing's camp in front of him, he was still a little speechless.
In front of them, there was a huge camp that was cascading on top of each other, with the hill of the mass grave as the core, stretching in all directions.
Looking at it from afar, it is like a huge giant beast, which is intimidating.
"Donkey ball, Xu Changqing, this little milk baby, really has two brushes!"
Liu Zongmin frowned tightly and took a sip fiercely.
Next to him, Li Yan's expression was also extremely solemn.
Perhaps his understanding of war is not as profound as Liu Zongmin's, but in terms of strategic vision, strategy and tactics, a dignified person, a great talent who is famous far and wide, and has a wide understanding of ancient and modern times, he is obviously much stronger than Liu Zongmin.
At this time, just looking at the scale of this camp, Li Yan realized that this battle would never be easy to fight!
muttered: "There is no void under the fame, this loyal and righteous uncle is a fierce opponent." ”
"Xianggong, we haven't started fighting yet, why do we need to grow the morale of others and destroy our own prestige? Let's fight the sturdy Luoyang City, why are we afraid of this Xu Changqing's mere earthen fort in front of us? ”
Next to her, the red lady smiled.
She is dressed in her iconic red dress, covered in silver fine armor, her face is delicate, and her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, making it impossible to see her age for a while.
Maybe in their twenties, maybe in their thirties, it's like an unsolvable mystery.
In this blue-gray world, her red is really indescribably dazzling.
Just like her maverick dress, her personality has made countless men ashamed of themselves, if it is put in the future generations, at least she is a super celebrity with hundreds of millions of fans, and the dream lover of countless men.
She came from a humble background, she was originally an entertainer who ran the rivers and lakes, and she suffered a lot of wind and frost, but it was precisely because of this that she honed her bold temperament, and she was jealous and hateful.
Later, she rebelled in Jigong Mountain, Xinyang, joined the rebel army, and became a banner.
In the process of attacking Qixian, she formed a bond with Li Yan, who wrote the "Song of Persuasion" and was also widely known.
But Li Yan is a man after all, although he sympathizes with the toiling masses, it is impossible for him to abandon his family and business to join the exile army directly.
After the red lady left, Li Yan was framed by the government and arrested in prison.
Later, the red lady got the news, and directly led the army back to Qi County, rescued Li Yan, and really became a couple with Li Yan.
In her body, she almost carries the traditional virtues of all Chinese women, and she can really go up to the hall and the kitchen.
In addition, she is a craftsman born in a tightrope walker, and she is even more beautiful, and the joy of the boudoir is wonderful.
It's simply the perfect embodiment of a man who can only exist in fantasy!
At this time, hearing the seemingly slightly playful words of the red lady, Li Yan suddenly reacted, couldn't help but glance at his smart wife gratefully, and said with a smile: "Not bad." Although Xu Changqing is strong, it is precisely because he is strong that we will cut him off the horse, which is more valuable! Chief Sentry Master, this battle will definitely be a battle that will shake the world for us! ”
Liu Zongmin originally looked at Li Yan everywhere unpleasantly, not to mention the little white face, he actually asked for such a good wife, how could people not be jealous?
But at this time, Li Yan's words made him feel comfortable in his heart, and laughed and said: "Lao Li, you are not too bad!" That's right, in this battle, you will definitely be famous all over the world! ”
Saying that, Liu Zongmin was no longer nostalgic here, and waved his hand to the generals around him: "The whole army is camped and rested on the spot!" Tomorrow morning, the siege begins! ”
"Yes!"
Liu Zongmin is a resolute character, and he soon went back to rest and recuperate, but Li Yan and the red lady did not leave in a hurry, but analyzed the layout structure of Xu Changqing's camp.
……
Here, Xu Changqing also stood on the commanding heights of the high platform built by this mass grave at this time, watching the movements of the camp of the displaced people.
The bright red of the red lady can't even think of Xu Changqing's eyes.
At this time, although the distance is very far, Xu Changqing's strong eyesight can vaguely see the graceful figure of the red lady, and then take a clairvoyant mirror to look carefully, the corners of Xu Changqing's mouth can't help but set off a curved arc.
The scholar-looking man who was with the red lady seemed to be Li Yan who didn't run away.
Whether it is for the red lady or Li Yan, Xu Changqing is extremely appreciative.
The lives of these two people are simply legendary!
Needless to say, Li Yan can be said to be a watershed for the Wandering Army.
Especially after the exiled army entered Beijing.
Many of the strategies proposed by Li Yan are adopted by Li Zicheng, then~, the end of history may be completely different.
It's a pity that Li Zicheng not only did not take Li Yan's advice, but continued to persecute him, and in the end, Li Yan died, and the red lady also turned against Li Zicheng, but he has been desperately insisting on resisting the Qing Dynasty until he finally died.
Xu Changqing didn't expect to meet these two people here and now.
And since they have met, Xu Changqing obviously will not let them leave easily and repeat the tragedy of history again!
……
Early in the morning of the next day, just after the dawn, the displaced army made a move, and tens of thousands of cannon fodder refugees began to assemble.
Soon, Li Zicheng and others also rushed over to watch the battle, focusing on the most conspicuous banner of the word 'Chuang', and all kinds of flags stretched high.
At the same time, in order to find out who the reinforcements from the south were, Kaifeng City also spent a lot of money and sent more than a dozen elites to investigate.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
In the sound of the majestic and rhythmic drums, the wandering army was assembled before midnight.
At this time, it was already June 11, and it began to enter the middle of summer, many homeless cannon fodder were wearing short shirts, only a few of them had weapons, and these weapons were also a little indescribably varied, and some of them were digging sand bags while walking, basically barefoot, driven by the old battalion soldiers behind, like an ant colony, they began to gather towards Xu Changqing's camp.
"They're coming!"
At the position of the model army, the officers and soldiers of all the departments had been waiting for a long time, and they were all excited when they watched the displaced army come up.
They don't care whether these homeless people are forced or not, under Xu Changqing's education, all those who stand on the opposite side are enemies and fresh military exploits!
This can't blame Xu Changqing for being ruthless and inconsiderate of these poor homeless.
At this time, Xu Changqing was in the starting stage, and he was unstable, how could he have the heart of the Virgin?
Seeing that the formation was gradually spreading, in the formation of the Wandering Army, Li Zicheng, who was riding on a high war horse, said with a smile: "Xu Changqing, this little milk baby, has some means, but I don't know how long he can last." Ladies and gentlemen, how long do you think it will take? ”
I have to say that Li Zicheng is very charming.
He has come to this day, it can be said that he has experienced hardships, and at this time he is at the peak of his prime, and this seemingly joking ridicule instantly dissolves the somewhat tense atmosphere around him.
Liu Zongmin smiled: "It's only half an hour." For half an hour, I promised to make him into an embroidered pillow. ”
There was a burst of laughter around them, and they began to bet on the fun, which also made the morale of the homeless army more and more high.
Only Li Yan was smiling, but his eyes were full of solemnity.
Xu Changqing has beheaded the existence of the slave chief Emperor Taiji, is he really just an embroidered pillow that is useless as these people say?
In a short time, the homeless cannon fodder had already entered the scope of the model army's position, and the soldiers could already see their numb, fearful, or hideous faces.
They don't talk about any rules.
It's just pushing forward without a brain.
However, the old battalion soldiers in the back, all dressed in blue-gray and wearing felt hats, are more clever than one another, constantly interspersed, like a group of ghosts.
"Venerable General, the time is almost up, please allow me and my students to join the slingshot troops!"
At this time, Tang Ruowang panted and found Xu Changqing's side, although he was like a tired dog, he was extremely excited and came to ask for a fight.
Xu Changqing smiled: "Father, don't worry. The slingshot is our killer weapon, and it's far from the time to fight. Come and watch with me. ”
"Forehead ......"
Tang Ruowang was speechless for a moment, but Xu Changqing spoke, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only stay by Xu Changqing's side.
But this guy quickly became excited, and he also wanted to see how this powerful young magnate commanded the battle.
"Kill the dogs!"
"Brothers, rush, kill all the dog officers and soldiers, and we will have a good life!"
"Rush, fight with the dog officer and army......"
The homeless cannon fodder soon began to rush forward, and many of them quickly gave way by throwing their bags of sand into the trenches in front of them.
It may seem to be chaotic, but it can maintain a certain order, and it is clear that these people are very experienced in this job.
In a short time, the homeless cannon fodder has set up several points that can be impacted, which can already be used by hundreds of people to easily rush onto the earthen wall less than three meters high.
However, until this time, Xu Changqing still did not make any moves.
Even if the soldiers behind the earthen wall couldn't wait, Xu Changqing's order was still not given, but they were just asked to stand by.
It wasn't until someone began to rush up to the wall and rushed inside fiercely that Xu Changqing gave an order without hurrying:
"Firearms stand by and pikemen kill the enemy!"
Beside him, Tang Ruowang was speechless for a moment, what kind of courage did he dare to give such an order......
But the pikemen in the lower position ignored these many, and one by one they became excited, and quickly entered the predetermined position under the command of the generals of each department.
"Haha, let's just say, what kind of loyal uncle of bird feathers? It's just a little milk baby. I thought he had many firearms, but he didn't have any fart, King Chuang, this battle is decided! ”
"Hehe, I wish the chief whistle a victory in advance."
"Destroy Xu Changqing's milk baby, this world is so big, who else is the opponent of our rebel army?"
Seeing that the situation was so smooth, there was almost no resistance on the side of the model army, and around Li Zicheng, the generals were uncontrollably excited.
According to their experience, to this extent, Xu Changqing has no power to resist.
"First row, kill!"
"Kill !!"
"Second row ready!"
"First row, kill!!"
"Kill !!"
However, their excitement did not last for a moment, and the sound of tyrannical killing suddenly came from the position of the Model Army.
Those homeless cannon fodder who rushed to the wall excitedly, thinking that great feats were waiting for them, suddenly found that they were greeted by rows of sharp cold light.
"Poof!"
"Puff ......"
Pity these homeless cannon fodder, not to mention A, their clothes are all untidy, and they are stuck by the earthen wall when they come in, and they have completely become live targets.
In the blink of an eye, more than 100 people who rushed in fell under the spears of the model soldiers in a row.
However, the soldiers of the Model Army did not have the slightest love of fighting, and after killing the enemy, they quickly retreated, leaving room for the brothers behind, and then quickly adjusted their positions behind them.
In a short time, seven or eight hundred corpses had fallen horizontally and vertically within the earthen wall, most of which had been pierced in the throat, and they were extremely crisp and decisive.
The homeless cannon fodder who rushed up behind were a little stunned, but they didn't expect this killing game to be inside.
They are not stupid, seeing that there is going to be a river of blood inside, who would be stupid to send them to death? When he arrived, he ran away screaming.
Soon, this began to set off a chain reaction, and the others did not dare to rush forward any further, as if they had encountered the devil, and they scattered one after another.
