[114] Sentinel battle
As soon as Li Zicheng's cavalry crossed the Suo River, Tanma galloped to report that a group of officers and soldiers had set up camp in Yinzhao Town. At that time, Li Zicheng was resting in the tent, and his nephew Li Guo was very excited after hearing the return of Tanma. Because Li Zicheng did not send himself to fight in the last few battles, his battalion received the least spoils, and the soldiers in the battalion repeatedly complained to Li Guo. So, Li Guo did not wait for Li Zicheng to give an order, and personally led his headquarters with 5,000 cavalry to kill Yin Zhao Village immediately.
The winter in Xingyang was very cold, Li Guo rode his beloved horse Da Bailong galloping in the field, behind him were 5,000 elite cavalry, they followed Li Zicheng from northern Shaanxi to Guanzhong, from Guanzhong to Henan, along the way died under their knives of the officers and soldiers, social soldiers and even innocent people countless people. Regardless of the fatigue of the march, he was in high spirits, and the noses of men and horses were constantly spewing hot air
Within half an hour, Li Guo saw a group of officers and soldiers cutting grass and collecting firewood on a small hill from a distance, numbering about 100 people.
"Brothers, let's open a booth first and slaughter these officers and soldiers for the sacrificial flag~~~" Li Guo opened his throat and shouted
"Oh~~Roar, roar~~~" Li Guo's subordinates also let out a bloodthirsty shout, the raised steel knife flashed a chilling cold light in the sun, and 20,000 horses' hooves stomped on the ground, making a rumbling sound of overwhelming mountains and seas. As long as these cavalry maintained this momentum, those officers and soldiers would be cut down by themselves like the scarecrows that they usually cut during training
"Oh~roar, roar~~" Li Guo excitedly let out another long roar
The officers and soldiers on the mound also saw the menacing cavalry from a distance, and they hurriedly threw down the firewood in their hands and ran to the mound in a hurry
Li Guo was even more carried away when he saw the officers and soldiers fleeing, and he shouted and led the cavalry to rush up the mound, wanting to chase and kill the officers and soldiers who had fled. As a result, Li Guo's cavalry crossed the top of the mound and came to the downward slope. The moment he crossed the mound, the scene in front of him stunned Li Guo
I saw that behind the mound, there were thousands of officers and soldiers standing densely and neatly, they lined up in a neat phalanx, facing the mound, and the muzzles of countless black holes were facing their own cavalry swarming from the mound
"Fire~"
Order
呯呯~~呯呯~~~
The gunshots like bursting beans were endless, and puffs of white gunpowder smoke suddenly filled the air
"Ah~"
"Huh~~"
The wails and wails of men and horses were drowned out by the loud, incessant sound of gunfire, and the corpses of men and horses were layered on top of each other on the slope of the mound, covering almost the entire slope
The cavalrymen who were not shot hurriedly reined in their horses and tried to run back, but they were blocked by their companions who rushed behind, and in the end they did not escape the whistling bullets
"It's a trick~~Retreat~~" Li Guo shouted loudly, he was lucky, because only one bullet hit his shoulder in such a close-range volley, and because he was wearing armor, this shot was just a flesh wound, which made him fall off his horse
"Withdraw~~" Li Guo got up from the ground and ran to the top of the mound with all his might, but the unknown cavalry behind him still kept coming, and a cavalryman couldn't pull the war horse under his crotch, and with a bang, the strong chest of the war horse hit Li Guo's chest heavily
"Wow~~" Li Guo marked a blood arrow in his mouth, and his body flew out like a broken kite
The cavalry that lost its commander became more and more chaotic, and under the impetus of the survival instinct, the cavalry pushed and squeezed, and even some people began to cut and kill their companions in order to escape by the way
Yin Zhao Zhai is not very far from the Suohe River, and Li Zicheng, who was resting in the big tent of the Chinese army, also heard the gunshots, he pushed away Mrs. Gao who was in his arms, rushed out of the tent with an arrow step, and shouted: "What's the matter?" Officers and soldiers come to kick the camp? ”
A soldier replied: "Back to King Chuang, it was General Li Guo who led 5,000 cavalry to kick the camp in Yinzhao Village. ”
"Officers and soldiers camped in Yinzhao Village? How did I not know? Li Zicheng was surprised
Xiao Bing replied: "I just came back from Tanma~~~Is it~" Xiao Bing also realized the seriousness of the problem, and hurriedly kept silent, "King Chuang, the little patrol village has gone~" Xiao Bing hurriedly found an excuse to leave
"This kid is getting more and more unruly~!" Li Zicheng was slightly stunned
"What's the matter? "Mrs. Gao opened the curtain and walked out, Mrs. Gao is a big-footed man, and she is the sister of the previous King Gao Yingxiang. The reason why Li Zicheng chose her as his wife is because she is Gao Yingxiang's younger sister, and marrying her is the old ministry that tells Gao Yingxiang, and he is the new king. Another reason is that because Li Zicheng was displaced at that time, it was difficult for a small-footed woman to bear such hardship.
"It's not like Ah Guo~!" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Without my generals, I directly led a cavalry to chase and kill officers and soldiers!" ”
Mrs. Gao is also dressed in a strong suit, with a sword hanging from her waist, standing with Li Zicheng, it is a woman who does not let her eyebrows, Mrs. Gao smiled: "When he comes back, I will talk about him." He is your nephew, if he doesn't take your military orders seriously, what if we fight the king and serve the people? Saying that, Mrs. Gao threw a wink at Li Zicheng, "It's windy outside, let's go back to the tent and rest." ”
Li Zicheng understood, and returned to the tent with Mrs. Gao in his arms. The husband and wife were lingering, when suddenly the curtain of the big tent was rudely opened with a hula
Li Zicheng's trouser belt had just been half undone, and he was about to open his mouth to abuse, but he saw Liu Zongmin standing at the door of the tent with a panicked expression, "Ah over him~~Ah over him~~" Liu Zongmin stammered, that is, he couldn't say a complete sentence
"Huh?" Li Zicheng hurriedly tightened his belt, "What's wrong with Ah Guo?" ”
"Ah Guo was ambushed in Yin Zhao Village, 5,000 cavalry were wiped out, Ah Guo ~~ Ah Guo he ~ was trampled to death by a chaotic horse, and there were no bones!" Liu Zongmin said breathlessly
"Ah~~" Li Zicheng shouted, his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground
"King Chuang~" Mrs. Gao and Liu Zongmin hurriedly went to help
Mrs. Gao pinched people again, sprayed cold water again, and finally woke Li Zicheng up
"Herald~~" As soon as Li Zicheng woke up, he immediately jumped up from the ground, and his only remaining right eye became blood-red, "The whole army will pull out the camp and attack Yinzhao Village directly." ”
"But~~ The army has just begun to bury the pot and cook, and the brothers have been on the road for so many days~~" Liu Zongmin advised
"Fart~~~ My nephew is dead~~ There are no bones left~~ That's my nephew~!" Li Zicheng yelled hysterically, "I'm going to cut Song Youliang's body into 10,000 pieces and cut it into 100 pieces~~Not 1,000 pieces to feed to the dogs~~Summon~Summon~"
Liu Zongmin was in a hurry, and he also shouted at the top of his voice: "The life of King Chuang's nephew is fate, but the lives of his brothers are not fate?" Even if you want to take revenge, you have to let the brothers eat first! ”
"You~ You dare to talk back to me?" Li Zicheng lost his mind a little under the anger, but when he met Liu Zongmin, he also had a hot temper
"What's wrong with talking back~ We'll listen to you if you're right, but what you're saying now doesn't make sense!" Liu Zongmin showed no weakness
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mrs. Gao hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Liu Zongmin back, winking at him, "What should I do, what should I do!" ”
Although Liu Zongmin is a rough person, he is thick and fine, and when he saw Mrs. Gao's eyes, he understood most of it, so he hurriedly went out of the account and ordered the fireman to bury the pot and cook quickly.
Mrs. Gao slowly comforted Li Zicheng with feminine gentleness and delicacy in the tent, and finally calmed down Li Zicheng, who was so angry that he lost his mind. It was already the second half of the night
That night, in the thirty miles west of Yinzhao Village, Song Youliang's ten military camps were distributed in a plum blossom shape, and nine small battalions surrounded a large Chinese army battalion.
In the big tent of the Chinese army camp, Sun Chuanting and Fang Kongzhi were playing against each other, while Song Youliang was watching with relish from the side
Sun Chuanting gently put down a white letter, "Xingyang is the Central Plains, there is a chasm in the east connecting the Huai River and Surabaya, the north is adjacent to the Yellow River, the south is adjacent to the Suohe River and the Song Mountain, and the west is connected to Luoyang and Chang'an. And the terrain on the west, north, and south sides of Xingyang is high, but the terrain on the east side is low, and our army occupies a condescending geographical advantage, and has brave soldiers and sophisticated weapons, are you afraid that you will not be able to win the battle? ”
Fang Kongzhi smiled and put down a sunspot, "Could it be that the thieves will definitely come?" ”
Song Youliang said with a smile: "The thief is worried about Luoyang's silver, and we just annihilated his five thousand cavalry in Yinzhao Village, and also killed his only nephew. Li Chuang is probably gritting his teeth at the moment, wanting to eat our meat~~"
Sun Chuanting put down another white son and killed a large number of Fang Kongzhi's sunspots~~ "Don't forget, there are Gao Qian and Chen Yongfu in the back to intercept his back!" ”
