Chapter 69: Lotus Spoon County
After two battles in a row, he easily obtained nearly two hundred war horses, which was something that everyone could not think of before. At this time, it actually happened in front of his own eyes, and he saw it with his own eyes, and everyone was excited for a while, especially when he was still a participant.
"Hehe, after these two battles, we didn't have a single casualty, and all the dead were the enemy. Now we have the strength to go back. When I go back, what will happen if you let me be this cavalry? I can't do this captain! Zhou Tong smiled from ear to ear at this time, and was full of joy in the calculation of the cavalry.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Let you lead the cavalry, do you understand cavalry combat? Don't think too much about it, wait until you get back! Seeing him like this, Li Xin shook his head helplessly and said.
Zhou Tong didn't care, and happily went to work on other things.
"Although this place is quite far away from Lianlao County, I am afraid that the sound of shouting and killing will alarm them, especially when the war horses galloped wildly before. The enemy camp in the south is dozens of miles away from here, but I'm afraid that even they will be a little aware of it and have to guard against it. If you want to set up an ambush here again, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. We'll have to move somewhere else, and the farther west we go, the closer we get to Fu Jing's camp, and we'll go east, and there's still a cavalry contingent there. If we solve them, our actions will be about the same! Li Xin summoned several of his generals and said.
"What about these horses? Are we carrying it? Someone asked.
"Take the war horses away together, we people are exactly one horse per person, and if it is not enough, we will have one horse for two people, so that we can arrive faster! Time is urgent, let's act now! Li Xin thought about it for a while and immediately decided.
There are four counties on the north bank of Weishui, from east to west, namely Dali County, Chongquan County, Liantuo County and Xiatai County. These four counties are all under the jurisdiction of Feng Yi County, which has a total of eight counties, these four are the southernmost counties, and the other four are further north.
Among the four counties, Chongquan County is probably located in the north of Lianshao County, and the west of Dali County is upward, which is probably more than 20 kilometers southeast of Pucheng County in the future! It is about 20 kilometers away from Lianlao County, and about 40 kilometers away from Dali County.
Dali County is located about ten kilometers east of Dali County in the later generations, and Fengyi County is located there. Moreover, because of its proximity to the Yellow River, Dali County is more heavily guarded and has relatively more troops. The distance from Dali County to Lianshu County is about the same as that from Chongquan County, and it is precisely because of this that there is a team of cavalry responsible for protecting the smooth passage of Dali to Chongquan County, which is the group of cavalry that was eliminated for the second time.
And the gang that was eliminated for the first time was responsible for the road between Dali and Lotus Spoon. However, due to the relatively long distance, this group of men and horses did not go back and forth between Dali County and Lianshao County, but had a meeting point in the middle, and handed over to the easternmost group of cavalry for normal patrols. In this way, there will not be too much pressure on both sides.
Li Xin hit this idea, and the place he fancied was the confluence. As before, as before, after he rushed to that place with his people, he immediately set up an ambush. Then send someone to inform the cavalry and bring them over.
But he did not reach the rendezvous this time, for the scouts he had sent had already spotted the cavalry halfway through, and it looked menacing. Obviously, at the scheduled time, the other group of cavalry did not rush to the handover, which made this group of cavalry suspicious.
The two scouts immediately made a decision, and hurriedly separated one person to come back to report Li Xin, and the other person continued to report the news. And Li Xin, who learned the news, immediately decided to set up an ambush on the spot and wait for the arrival of the enemy.
On the other side, the cavalry general was rushing over, and after getting the report of the Qin soldiers disguised as the scout, he immediately confirmed what he thought, and without saying a word, he led his cavalry to rush in the direction of the ambush circle.
Under the leadership of the scouts, it didn't take long for this group of cavalry to come to the place where Li Xin had set up an ambush. Like the previous group of cavalry, although this general was cautious and did not dismount to inspect, he still did not escape Li Xin's bow and arrows.
After the first battle, although these Qin soldiers dismounted and fought on foot, they were soon completely wiped out, who let them meet the Huashan army that was twice as numerous as them, and the combat strength and morale were higher than theirs.
In this way, the three hundred cavalry were directly ambushed by Li Xin and them. The whole process can be said to be very simple, even Li Xin himself did not expect that it would be so smooth.
Since they didn't rush to that handover point, Li Xin saved a lot of time. This way, they will have more time to organize their actions. At this time, it was already the second half of the night, and after Li Xin calculated it, he decided to carry out the next action as soon as possible.
The group turned around and rushed in the direction of Lian Spoon County, this time they went directly to the outside of the city, at this time, at the head of the city, there was a figure of the defenders, looking out. Obviously, the previous movement had indeed attracted their attention, but they did not dare to send people out to check on it, and could only observe it from the top of the city.
Li Xin left a few people and left a hundred war horses more than two miles away from the city, and he led everyone to ride horses and swagger towards the city, and soon came to the city of Lotus Spoon.
"Listen, the people in the city, we were ordered by the king of Pyeongchang to come to mobilize military rations to replenish the front line, and quickly open the city gates!" Several scouts ran forward and said curses, deliberately mixed with some slang.
There were not many garrisons in Lianshao County, especially after two successive transfers of troops from the local area to deal with the Huashan Army. It is said that there are only 200 guards in Lotus Spoon City today, but because it is located on the north bank and there are two lines of defense in front of it, the people in the county town are also very relieved.
Several of the guards at the head of the city were sent to inspect the situation in this cold day, and they were unwilling to do so. After looking around for a while and seeing that he didn't find anything, he was about to go down and go to sleep, but he didn't expect a cavalry to come from the city, and he was immediately startled.
"It's the cavalry sent by the King of Pyeongchang, hurry up and report to the county lord, if the military situation is delayed, our two heads will not be protected!" These soldiers did not carefully distinguish between the real and the fake, and in fact could not distinguish between them. After hearing the shout, he said a word and hurriedly went down to report.
Soon, the county magistrate who got the news opened the city gate with people and prepared to welcome the army into the city. They didn't doubt it, after all, at this time, in everyone's cognition, the Huashan army didn't seem to be able to come at all, and the most important thing was that there were so many cavalry, and that was only available to Fu Qin.
However, as soon as they opened the city gates, Li Xin and the others immediately swarmed them, and then tied up the soldiers one after another and locked them in an empty room on the side. And Li Xin and Zhou Tong took this county and walked in the direction of the county government.
"Lord Xiancheng, I heard that you have a lot of military rations and materials stored here? Take us to see it! Li Xin glanced at the county under the horse, showed a smile, and said lightly.
The county Cheng was bitter in his heart at this time, and he never thought that this Huashan army would actually come over. was thinking about how to resist, but the knife was on his neck, which made him feel a drum in his heart. I had no choice but to take them in the direction of the treasury.
Under Li Xin's order, a group of soldiers surrounded the county government without blood, and then locked up the county commander and others. After that, everyone quickly entered the treasury, and sure enough, many food and materials mobilized from all over the country were piled up here.
"That's a lot of food! Big brother, are we all going to move back? As soon as he saw these things, the eyes of everyone present couldn't help but light up, and Zhou Tong immediately asked.
"No, so much food, just rely on us people, when do we have to move it? Not to mention that there are so many enemies ahead! Li Xin shook his head firmly, he didn't have this idea at all.
"This, if it is all burned, it will be so unwilling! Alas! Hearing this, Zhou Tong said helplessly.
Not only him, but also the other people present, all had the same expression, that is called a heartache!
"There's no way around it! A temporary loss is nothing, as long as we can repel a strong enemy, for us, are we afraid that there will be no food in the future? However, if you can't get the food, you can get some other things. See all that salt? Tell the brothers that one person carries twenty pounds, and never asks for much! We're missing this thing over there! "Li Xin doesn't want to do this either! But he knew it was impossible. However, when I swept my eyes, I focused on other things.
As soon as they heard this, everyone hurriedly got busy. In order to remove the salt, they tore the cloth in the warehouse and made it directly into a furoshiki, and then everyone carried a small burden on their bodies. There is no problem with this weight, it is much lighter than when I usually train to carry weights off-road, if it is not for the scruples that there may be a big battle in the future, Li Xin will let everyone pack more.
"General, everything is ready!" After about half an hour, everyone had packed up.
"Big brother, wait first! I think it is better to give it to the people of the city than to burn it all. How many points can be scored! What do you think? Just as Li Xin was about to order everything to be burned, Zhou Tong suddenly proposed.
This is a good way to win the hearts and minds of the people for the Huashan Army. Moreover, once Fu Qin wanted to forcibly take back the grain at that time, the people in this city would probably hate them completely. Most importantly, the people of the city really need these things. 166 Reading Network
