The three of them spent a moment together, and finally decided on a plan for the night attack, a small flag of soldiers lurking in the south, ready to attack from the front, and another small flag hiding in the north, cutting off the escape route of the Mongols, this is their first battle, in order to be completely annihilated, never to leak their plan to counterattack the Mongols, the north and south two small flags with torches.

"Yunshui, Double Happiness, you don't have to fight, I'm ready to fight in person."

"Yes, sir." Li Guo was still waiting to have an argument with Liu Yunshui, and when he saw Li Zicheng going into battle in person, there was no follow-up, and he absolutely supported this second uncle.

"Adult ......" Liu Yunshui's desire to fight was even stronger, and his eyes had already flashed with the greed and light of the wolves when they saw their prey, and for him, this first battle was the best chance to prove himself.

"This is the first battle of the new army entering Xining, and there is absolutely no room for loss, in case of a miss, the military spirit will inevitably be loosened," Li Zicheng couldn't bear to see Liu Yunshui's gaze, in contrast, Li Guo was much calmer "Actually, I have just said that no matter who fights, the credit belongs to the collective, the message was sent back by Wang Anping, and the battle plan was formulated by us collectively." ”

"My lord, in this first battle, my subordinates hope to have the opportunity to participate, in case they fail, they are willing to be dealt with by the military discipline of the adults, and ask the adults to succeed!" Liu Yunshui left the table and knelt in front of Li Zicheng.

"Yunshui really wants to contribute to the whole army?" Li Zicheng looked at Liu Yunshui on the ground, and saw that his knees were kneeling solidly, and he didn't want to be pretentious.

"My subordinates not only want to contribute to the whole army, but also want those who look down on the new army to look at us differently from now on." Liu Yunshui stood up, looked at Li Zicheng, his eyes burned with the fire of longing, and he couldn't wait to kill this Mongolian family in three moments.

Li Zicheng really didn't want to pour Liu Yunshui's cold water, for the soldiers, especially the officers, the battlefield is their inevitable destination, thought for a while, and finally said: "In this way, Yunshui and I each carry a small flag, and launch an attack from the north and south flanks respectively, although the north is not the main battlefield, but it is possible to encounter Mongolian reinforcements, and I will be personally responsible." ”

Liu Yunshui's eyes smiled, and the look on his face was a lot more relaxed, "My lord is the master of an army, how can I put myself in danger?" The small flag in the north should be handed over to his subordinates. ”

"In this way, Yunshui should be careful, get up and speak first," Li Zicheng paused and said: "If it is ugly, I will say it first, this is a war, not a training ground, Yunshui must abide by the agreement, if there is a violation, the military discipline will not be merciful." ”

"The subordinates understand that the subordinates must abide by the agreement with the adults." After Liu Yunshui got up, he clasped his hands into fists and saluted Li Zicheng.

"That's good," Li Zicheng turned his gaze to Li Guo, "I fought with Yunshui, Shuangxi guarded Zhenhai Fort, if Zhenhai Fort is lost, our army will lose its support, and military discipline is not merciful, although you and I are uncles and nephews, but in front of military discipline, we are unkind, and Shuangxi needs to be careful." ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand, my subordinates must guard carefully, and never let Zhenhai Fort fail." Li Guo also clenched his fists with both hands, leading the heavy responsibility of staying behind.

"Yunshui, without further ado, you immediately bring the small flag that went out to the training ground, I will personally lecture them, and Shuangxi will also bring the soldiers left behind to the training ground and line up to watch."

"Yes, sir!" Liu Yunshui and Li Guo left the official office one after another, and this meeting without a written record was over.

The two small flags that were about to go to the battle, the soldiers were all dressed in leather armor, standing quietly in the center of the training ground, Li Zicheng and Liu Yunshui were standing opposite them, and the rest of the soldiers were all lined up to watch from the periphery.

Li Zicheng's gaze swept over the faces of the twenty soldiers one by one, hoping to record their faces, this is the first time to fight, and I don't know how many people will be able to come back, "Brothers, this is your first time fighting the Mongols, to be honest, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Someone whispered, but it was soon blown away by the breeze on the empty training ground, and more soldiers were silently looking at Li Zicheng and Liu Yunshui in front of them, if they could choose, they would rather stay in Zhenhai Fort, and it would be safe to have the protection of the fort wall.

"I know that some of you are afraid," Li Zicheng walked around the two horizontal columns, looking at the faces of each soldier up close, "The first time I go to battle, some are not ashamed, some veterans are still afraid of going to war, then it is a shame, to be honest, Lord Ben is also a little afraid in his heart!" ”

Liu Yunshui was stunned, what's the matter, my lord? Isn't this to increase the morale of others and destroy one's own prestige? These are all recruits, in case they listen to the words of adults and are afraid of the battle, then if they complete the task of this battle? Even Li Guo, who was around the corner of the training ground, frowned slightly.

The soldiers also looked different, and it turned out that the adults were also afraid? Although they didn't dare to make a sound, they felt as if they had found a soulmate in their hearts, not only their expressions were relaxed, but there was also a smile on their faces.

"However, Lord Ben is more looking forward to it," Li Zicheng's expression flickered, and his voice sounded again, "Brothers, what are we coming to Xining from Ganzhou thousands of miles for?" ”

"Kill the Mongols!" After a long time, one of them whispered, and when he had finished speaking, he regretted it, and when he saw that no one agreed, he stuck out his tongue and buried his face in his chest.

"This brother said very well, we marched thousands of miles just to kill the Mongols, they seized our farmland and pastures, killed Han brothers, insulted our sisters, and made many Han people unable to marry wives," Seeing that the soldiers began to be restless, Li Zicheng shouted loudly: "Today, even now, we want to avenge the Han brothers and sisters, take back the lost land, and kill these robbers on the land they occupy, and now they all follow me and shout: Kill the robbers!" ”

"Kill the robbers!" The soldiers spoke in unison, especially when they heard that the Mongols had insulted Han women, making them unable to marry wives, and the fire of hatred in their hearts was ignited at once.

"Have you heard of Zhang Fei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? A burst of drinking, the Baling Bridge was broken, the river was pouring back, millions of Cao Jun were so frightened that they were urinating, the voice was louder, don't be like a girl, follow me and shout: Kill the robbers! ”

"Kill the robbers!" Uniformly, the eardrums buzzed.

"Bigger, let the robbers scare the, kill the robbers!"

"Kill the robbers!" In unison, the sound shook the birds.

Under Li Guo's instructions, the soldiers lined up in the corner of the training ground also joined in, and the sound of "killing robbers" echoed throughout the training ground for a long time, and even Li Zicheng felt a little surprised.

"You are indeed very good soldiers, now, do you see the little tree in front of you?" Li Zicheng pointed to a small tree with red cloth strips hanging in front of the training ground, "Run to that small tree in line, and then return to the same place, the queue is not allowed to be chaotic." ”

Led by two small flag officers, twenty soldiers ran to the marked tree, and quickly returned, and the queue was basically unchaotic.

It is basically impossible to keep the queue parallel to advance, and the soldiers are not the same height, step length, and pace, and they still adjust as they run.

"Now, are you still afraid of the Mongols?"

"Don't be afraid!" This time, the unison was powerful, the sound shook the sky, obviously not as soft and weak as at the beginning, the emotions of the soldiers have been ignited, although the reason for lighting this flame seems to Li Zicheng to be really nonsensical, but the soldiers are like this, they are not lacking enthusiasm, but lacking the fire to ignite enthusiasm.

"I believe that there are fewer and fewer soldiers who are afraid in our hearts, and every experience will increase our courage, and every time we fight, we will increase our confidence, and the Mongols are there, waiting for us to slaughter, and everyone shouts to me: Kill the robbers!"

"Kill the robbers!"

"Now, pick up your spears, rush to the little tree again, and come back......"

After a few tosses, the soldiers' spirit and spirit quickly improved, and the desire to fight suddenly increased, and they were eager to immediately rush to the battlefield and engage in a desperate struggle with the so-called "robbers".

When Liu Yunshui arrived at this time, he understood the meaning of Li Zicheng's words, and his eyes seemed to be covered with dust, gray.

At this time, it was not time, the soldiers did not care about eating, and the march was very fast, and Li Zicheng wanted to rush to the foot of Datong Mountain to set up an ambush before dark.

Just after walking about five miles of mountain road, a group of herdsmen appeared in front of him, and Li Zicheng was shocked: Could it be that the Mongols have wandered here?

Liang Jinyue, who served as a guide, put up her eyelids, took a closer look, and couldn't help exclaiming: "My lord, that's our people!" ”

"Our people? How do you confirm? Li Zicheng's heart was full of questions, in case of a night attack, it would not only be an empty joy, but also a considerable blow to morale.

"My lord, look at the costumes, these Han people are dressed like us, while the Mongols are generally thicker, with a long braid coiled on the top of their heads, and a short beard ......."

"Ao," Li Zicheng remembered, this is a pastoral area, and the imperial court has let the local people graze horses in lieu of agricultural taxes.

After about an hour and a half, more than 20 people arrived at the destination, at this time Wang Anping, who was in charge of stalking, had already poked his head out of the grass and picked up Li Zicheng to find a hiding place, Liu Yunshui still needed to climb over a mountain ridge and cut to the rear of the Mongols.

"Yunshui, you must remember, start your hands at the right time, and use the torch as the signal!" Li Zicheng admonished.

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates remember, my subordinates must wait until my lords light up the torches before cutting off the back road of the Mongols." Liu Yunshui replied, and then made a move, and the ten soldiers disappeared into the vast green field under the guidance of Liang Jinyue.
