Chapter 37: Shock
"Deputy team, now that our cavalry battle formation is becoming more and more proficient, it's a pity that there is no chance to get bloody. www.biquge.info I really want to take these rabbit cubs with me to find Tartars to practice their hands, and by the way, cut a few heads back, and give them a damn promotion and make a fortune. β
Looking at the cavalry in front of him who were practicing new battle columns such as the wall-type battle formation at this time, Tian Wei's words were full of confidence. He bared his teeth, and his expression was mixed in his face that was blown by the howling cold wind, and he couldn't tell whether it was joy or loss.
The thin snow of early winter, under the biting cold wind, fell one after another, and the crystal snowflakes crossed Li Xiao's resolute face, but it did not prevent him from watching the cavalry training on the opposite side intently.
Li Xiao didn't answer Tian Wei's question, but his eyes gradually showed a cold look.
Killing the enemy immediately to gain fame is not the dream of every hot-blooded man.
In fact, in his heart, Li Xiao hoped to take this group of cavalry to find the Tartars as soon as possible than Tian Wei and others. Every time he remembered the embarrassment of being chased and killed by the Tartars in the Daling River sentinel last time, Li Xiao felt deeply ashamed in his heart.
This revenge is not a gentleman!
Li Xiao wants to fight like this, and he still has a little secret thoughts.
Regarding this, Li Xiao never said it to his subordinates. That is, since he came to this pier of no return, Wang Daoqi really cut off all the food and salary of him and his subordinates, and never paid a penny again. Li Xiao also tried to send someone to ask, but Wang Daoqi just said that the salary had not yet arrived, and it could not be sent, so there was no follow-up.
Li Xiao secretly knew in his heart that this Wang Dodge resorted to such despicable means just to make him succumb, and finally when he was cornered, he obediently went to the door of Wang Dodge.
Hmph, you say I can't do anything, now Lao Tzu has plenty of food and clothing, and even the cavalry team has been pulled up, I'm afraid that Wang Daoqi will be you, and when you know, I'm afraid that my jaw will drop in shock.
Wang Daoqi, in the future, Lao Tzu will make new contributions and further promotion, but he will make you jealous to death.
Li Xiao thought like this in his heart, very happy.
Perhaps, as she steps on the head of the Tartar step by step in the future, the lovely and touching Zu Wan'er will finally marry herself smoothlyγγγγγγ
Li Xiao was sure in his heart that now that he was more and more skilled with the Xuanhu Rider and the Flying Harrier, if he encountered the more than 20 sentinels who chased him last time, it should be enough to fight.
Now the imperial court and the Houjin have been defeated in successive battles, and the Tartar head is extremely precious, if a sergeant wins a Tartar head, he can be promoted to a small flag, and if he gets three, he can be promoted to the general flag, in addition to the promotion of official positions, there are also rich bonuses.
This should be a huge temptation for these Xuanhu riders and flying harriers who have not yet gone into battle.
Moreover, this group of cavalry has one stronger point than the Tatar cavalry, that is, the coordination of battle formations and battlefield discipline.
At this time, Wang Yishou, who was in charge of training in the distance, was loudly emphasizing what Li Xiao had said to the cavalry.
"Rabbit cubs, I will emphasize once again what Li Baihu said to everyone. You must know that the method of cavalry warfare is to overwhelm the enemy as a whole, and to attack the enemy with the cooperation of the battle formation and collective action, but whoever relies on his own martial arts to break away from the team and kill the enemy, even if he is beheaded, he will be beaten with a military stick when he comes back, until he is dismissed and his family members are exiled, do you hear clearly?! β
"Hear me!"
"Say it again!"
"Hear me!!"
"It's good to hear it clearly, this rule is the foundation of my cavalry battle, everyone must keep it in mind, don't break it! Okay, let's go back to where we came and train againγγγγγγ β
Hearing Wang Yishou's voice from afar, Li Xiao secretly made up his mind that after this set of wall arrays that were quite effective for attacking light infantry or light cavalry was mastered, he must personally lead the team to have a good fight with those Tartar sentry riders, and use the blood and head of the Tartars to pave a path of glory and promotion for himself and his cavalry team.
In reverie, Chen Monkey, dressed in a thick winter coat, came out of the pier, and then he leaned against a wooden pillar and looked at the cavalry training on the opposite side.
Li Xiao caught a glimpse of his figure cowering in the cold wind, and his heart burst with emotion.
Chen Monkey only came back from Chen Mazi Medical Center a few days ago. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, this Chen monkey lay in the hospital for less than three months, and the injury shouted to return to the sentry cavalry, Chen Jun was helpless, and saw that he was recovering well, and after explaining some precautions to him, he let him go back.
During the previous visits, Chen Monkey knew that Li Xiao and others had gone to the pier of no return, and his wife and children had also been taken to the pier, so after he left the hospital, he went straight to the pier of no return.
The return of Chen Monkey made Li Xiao extremely happy, and he had another right-hand man. Because Monkey Chen's injuries had not fully healed, he was arranged to follow Wu Liang as a deputy to manage the chores in the pier, which also happened to give full play to Monkey Chen's strength of being shrewd and organized.
"Monkey, can our army be ready for the winter now?" Li Xiao asked.
"Don't worry, the deputy team, the winter clothes and quilts of each family have been distributed, and during this time, each family has repaired the kang bed and bought coal, and this day and night, no one is not warm, even the stable has also repaired the stove, and it is warm at night." Chen Monkey replied with a smile.
Li Xiao was very satisfied. In the land of Liaodong, winter comes early, now it is only the middle of September of the lunar calendar, and it is only the middle and late October of the solar calendar, but it is already windy, the snow is flying, and the weather becomes extremely cold. If you don't take advantage of the heavy snow to close the road, prepare for the winter as soon as possible, but it will be very inconvenient in the future.
A few people chatted for a while, and it seemed that this ordinary day was going to be spent so peacefully.
It's just that no one could have imagined that this seemingly ordinary day would become engraved in Li Xiao's heart and an unforgettable day in his life.
On the official road outside the pier, far away, the hooves of the horses that had been won came suddenly.
"Hey, isn't this Mo Changrong? How did he get here? β
Tian Wei's eyes were sharp, and he quickly saw the person who came, but it was his own Yulin Weixiang Party Mo Changrong, who was galloping in his direction with all his might.
"Phew!"
Mo Changrong shouted angrily to stop his mount. The helmet fell off, and he was wearing a cotton armor covered with mud and blood, turned over and dismounted, and then cried and worshiped Li Xiao in mourning.
"Deputy team, hurry up and send troops to save the senior general!"
Li Xiao jumped up in shock, and Tian Wei and the others next to him were also shocked.
Tian Wei rushed over, grabbed Mo Changrong from the ground, and yelled, "What's the matter! What's wrong with him! β
Mo Changrong, who was out of breath, was eager to speak out, but he choked and coughed loudly, blushing.
Wu Lianglian, who was on the side, handed Mo Changrong a scoop of water, Mo Changrong gasped, drank it in a big gulp, and then hurriedly said the following things to Li Xiao.
It turned out that the day before yesterday, the sentinel cavalry team that stayed in the Zhongtun Station in Guangning received a task arranged by Wang Daoqi, asking the sentinel cavalry to escort a batch of military rations to Damaobao in the northwest of Jinzhou City, so that Damaobao and its 27 subordinate piers could survive the winter safely.
This Damao Fort was originally a military fort under the jurisdiction of Guangning Zuotun Guard, and later Zuo Tun Wei was mainly used to deal with the Mongolian Karaqin Department, which highlighted the military fort at the forefront of the northwest of Jinzhou, since a few years ago, it was assigned to Guangning Zhongtun Station, and the original Dafu Fort, Daxing Fort, Dasheng Fort, Dazhen Fort and so on, became the most important five military forts under the jurisdiction of Guangning Zhongtun. And under each military fort, there are dozens of piers.
Escorting the grain convoy to the subordinate military fort was a common task in every cantonment. And because in previous years, they were all delivered safely and there was no mistake, so after Gao Pu received the military order, he didn't think too much, and yesterday morning, he personally led the team to escort the grain team on the road.
It's just that I never expected that in the early hours of this morning, after passing the Liushui Fort of the Zuotun Guard, I suddenly encountered a large number of Tartar sentry cavalry attack, surrounding Gao Pu's sentry cavalry and a group of people who sent food, and the situation was extremely critical.
"Deputy team, my Zhongtun sentry cavalry, except for Hua Ji and 2 sentry cavalry who stayed in Zhongtun Station, at this time they have basically all been dispatched, but there are only 18 horses, and there are nearly 40 horses in the Tartars! Seeing that the situation was critical, the general immediately ordered to rush back to Jinzhou to report the news while the Tartars were not yet encircled. β
"Then the battalions of soldiers in Jinzhou City, did they immediately send reinforcements?" Tian Wei asked anxiously on the side.
"The deputy team, after desperately rushing out of the encirclement, immediately rushed to Jinzhou City for help, because the ancestor led the generals to Ningyuan to discuss military affairs, and now Jinzhou is the governor of the capital of the general Zu Kuan. The small begged General Zu Kuan to send reinforcements immediately, but Zu Kuan heard that there were so many Tartar sentry horses, and he was quite hesitant at the moment, saying something, the Tartar cavalry is elite and numerous, I am afraid that I have sent reinforcements from Jinzhou, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the rescue, and what to say that I can only send troops after discussing with the generals. The small one cried out in a row, saying that the military situation was like fire, and if he didn't send troops as soon as possible, he was afraid that the general and other sentinels would be in danger. Na Zukuan refused to agree immediately, only said that he would let him go down to rest first, and then make a decision after he studied it. The little one was helpless, and suddenly remembered that in this pier of no return, the deputy team had trained some cavalry here, so he rushed to the next urgently, but asked the deputy team to hurry up and send troops to help, otherwise, the high general and a group of sentry brothers will die at the hands of the Tartars! β
After Mo Changrong finished saying this long paragraph, he knelt on the ground again, and kowtowed hard to Li Xiao a few times, knocking blood on his forehead.
"Bang!" With a bang, a chair in front of Li Xiao was kicked away by him in anger.
"Hurry up! Gao is always my benefactor Li Xiao, and I can't save it! His ancestors were afraid of the enemy and did not dare to fight, but I, Li Xiao, must not sit back and watch my brother be defeated like this! Even if Li Xiao dies, he must save Gao Zong's life! β
Li Xiao's face was as heavy as iron, and he shouted angrily.
Mo Changrong's face was excited, and there were tears in his eyes. Tian Wei, Chen Monkey and others looked at Li Xiao's eyes, and they were even more inexplicably admired and respected.
"Deputy, let's go immediately!" Tian Wei hurriedly interjected.
Li Xiao nodded, then turned around, and ordered Tian Wei and the others to let the Xuanhu Cavalry and the Flying Harrier stop training immediately, and then immediately follow him in armor and go to rescue Gao Pu's Sentinel Cavalry.
The order was given immediately. Hearing that they were going to fight the Tartars, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers among the cavalry.
After practicing for so long, I finally have a chance to fight the Tartars!
Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while. This treasure knife, which Li Xiao has repeatedly sharpened, is finally about to pull out of its scabbard!
"Let's go! Fight to the death with the Tartars! β
Li Xiao, who was already wearing a shining white tooth horn armor with silver lacquer and a red silk cloak as red as blood, strode onto the snow-stepping BMW with his head held high, and the shining steel tiger knife in his hand waved proudly in the air, and shouted angrily to order.
Below, there was an even more passionate cheer and shouting.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Mo Changrong led the way at the forefront, and the 20 Xuanhu riders and 14 flying harriers who had been cleaned up were personally led by Li Xiao of the hundred households, and galloped to the north of Daliubao in Zuotunwei to rescue Gao Pu and a group of sentinels.
The wind roared, the snow flew, and between heaven and earth, there was a vast silver white.
Wu Liang, Chen Monkey and a group of family members who stayed behind in the pier all eagerly watched the cavalry disappear into the vast snowy sky in the distance, and every face was full of concern and respect.
