After Li Chahan said goodbye to Dong Junxiao, he took the dozens of soldiers and baggage trails assigned to him by Dong Shuxiao to Luoshan County.

Luoshan County belongs to Xinyang Prefecture, Runing Prefecture, and is one of the first prefectures and counties captured by the Red Turban Army led by Liu Futong after seizing Yingzhou.

At that time, the rebel army reached its peak of hatred against the Yuan court due to the death of Han Shantong, so after conquering various prefectures and counties, they killed all their officials, wealthy families, and nobles, and only a few people were able to escape, and Li Siqi, the official history of the county government of Luoshan County, was one of these few people.

The official position of the canonical history was established after the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was only set up in the prefecture and county, and was the miscellaneous official of the county order, and did not enter the rank, that is, the so-called "unentered" official rank under the nine grades.

In addition to the duties of the civil and foreign officials themselves, when the positions of county officials and chiefs in the county are vacant, their responsibilities are concurrently held by the canon.

Therefore, although the official rank of the canon is the last class, the officials who hold this position also need to be selected by the officials and appointed by the emperor, so they can be regarded as legitimate "court officials".

When the vast majority of officials and nobles in Jiangbei Province, Henan Province fled with their families and tried their best to avoid the war, only Li Siqi, the "official of the imperial court", chose to resist.

What's more worth mentioning is that Li Siqi and Dong Junxiao are both Han Chinese.

At the time of the catastrophe, it is rare for a Han general like Dong Junxiao, who is a military attache and has a high official position, to be able to lead the army to quell the rebellion on his own, and he is a loyal minister who is conscientious and responsible, not to mention that a little-known person like Li Siqi actually stopped the army from resisting on his own.

The heart of sending charcoal in the snow is far more trustworthy and touching than the icing on the cake, so Richard, who is closely following the war in Henan, immediately found a way to venture out to meet him after hearing that there was such a number one.

In the heart of Richard Han, who has experienced strong winds and waves, such a small role is far more trustworthy and trustworthy than those senior officials in the DPRK and China, and it is easier to do something earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods!

As the saying goes, 'heroes cherish heroes', after Richard Han revealed his intention and identity, he received an extremely warm reception from Li Siqi, and the two had a great feeling of seeing each other late.

In particular, Li Siqi's sentence "Eating the king's lu, loyal to the king" won Li Chahan's great recognition, and almost immediately recognized that the person in front of him could be his partner and work together to do something great.

After gaining the support of Li Siqi and the help of Dong Junxiao, Li Chahan was finally able to form the first army in his life.

This private army, which did not meet the regulations of the imperial court, numbered less than 1,000 and was composed of a mixed group of beggars, including beggars who lived by begging, bandits and grass robbers who used to rob homes and houses, prisoners who died at the end of the world, and deserters from the Yuan army......

In short, this team had neither combat strength nor morale at the beginning of its formation, they did not have the support of the imperial court like the Yuan soldiers, nor did they have the same desire to fight as the Red Turban Army, and even many of them came with the purpose of cheating and running away......

But this rabble had excellent luck, and they met two leaders who would later dominate the world and divide one side, the nobleman Chakhan Timur and the Han Chinese historian Li Siqi.

If before Richardan joined, the local armed forces formed by Li Siqi were a group of righteous men who wanted to defend their homeland, then after Richardan joined and expanded its scale, this army had the foundation to stand on its own and had the meaning and ideals to fight for.

There are many capable people in the Yuan court who can lead troops to fight, and there are also many people who are eager to serve the country, but like Li Chahan, who can not only see the court situation thoroughly, but also have a clear grasp of the battle situation, he is one in a million, not to mention that this person also needs to be loyal to the court and has a strong fighting spirit in the face of the Red Turban Army.

It is in the infinite possibilities that in the spring of the twelfth year of Zhizheng, Chakhan Timur began his career as a commander of the army.

After discussing with Li Siqi, Li Chahan and Li Siqi agreed that their troops urgently needed a representative victory to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale, but there was never a safe and feasible way to attack the most important things, such as when, where, and how to attack.

Just when Richard and Han were worried about this, Timur, who was still in force, finally ordered an attack on the Red Turban Army after receiving the secret letter from Tokhtar.

After receiving reinforcements from Lao Zhang, the Yuan court army was full of 100,000 people, and they suddenly came overwhelmingly, so that the Red Turban Army, which had slightly lowered its vigilance, could not deal with it, and in only ten days, they broke the formation one after another from Shangcai County, and they were about to hit the gate of Runing Mansion.

For Richard, this kind of news was tantamount to looking forward to the long-awaited east wind, and a brilliant plan of attack immediately came to his mind, as if this was what God had destined him to do.

The imperial army defeated the previously demoralized Red Turban Army in the front and approached Runing Mansion in the north, while the army of Li Chahan and Li Siqi was hiding behind the Red Turban Army, near Luoshan County in the south of Runing Province.

This excellent geographical location is destined to be a surprise attack deep into the hinterland of the enemy, Rao is the commander of the Red Turban Army, Liu Futong, no matter how great his ability, would never have imagined that there was such an enemy army hidden near the lair of the Red Turban Army.

The time has come for the attack, and the location of the attack has been announced, so it is only necessary for the organizers to make an attack plan.

Richard knew that this was an opportunity that he had to seize, and he did not leave himself any way out, he decided to attack with all his troops, and gather all his forces to quickly open a gap in the rear of the Red Turban Army.

While desperate, Li Chahan did not forget to seek the linkage of friendly forces, and he asked Dong Junxiao, who had already led the army to pacify Zhu Gao, to harass Yingzhou, the old nest of the Red Turban Army, while launching a sneak attack, to distract the Red Turban Army.

Dong Junxiao undoubtedly gave an affirmative answer to this matter, and agreed with Li Chahan on a three-day time frame for the attack.

So when Liu Futong led his troops to resist the attack of the vanguard army led by Gong Buban, an attack was suddenly launched by Luoshan County, a "righteous army" loyal to the Yuan court.

In order to ensure their morale and combat effectiveness in this battle, Li Chahan and Li Siqi decided to distribute their remaining rations, silver, horses, and weapons to their subordinates, and Li Siqi also served as the overseer.

If this battle is won, then everyone will have a reward in addition to this, and if this battle is lost, then it can only be the only possibility of the total annihilation.

Those who bravely kill the enemy and charge into battle, reward!

Those who escape from the battle and take half a step back, slash!

After the reward and punishment of Richard Han coerced and lured his subordinates, these soldiers finally took up their weapons and rushed to the Red Turban Army in Luoshan County in the dark night.
