Chapter 20: The Wind Strikes (3)
In the battle of Hongnong, Li Mi and the soldiers of the Black Wolf Army burned tens of thousands of stone military rations stationed here by the rebels, and killed countless rebels with fewer enemies with the fire. After the success, he did not stop for a second, protruding from the west gate, and once again submerged into the dense forest of Longshan.
After the Black Dragon Army entered the jungle of Longshan, Li Yu's heart was half steady. The mountains are not suitable for large army battles, so there is no need to worry about the enemy's large pursuit. Even if a small group of enemy soldiers chase after them, they can calmly deal with it. So Li Mi didn't have to hide his traces carefully at all. On the way back to the city, the Black Wolf Army stayed overnight, and when they camped at night, they also boldly lit a campfire, and they could also hunt a few wild games to roast and eat along the way. The road back to the city is easy and pleasant, and it is jokingly called an outing picnic trip by Li Mi.
More than ten miles to Tongguan, at this time the sky was already dark, Li Mi ordered to stop the march and camp on the spot. After arranging the guard guard, Li Mi sat next to the campfire and roasted the hare meat deliciously.
Gao Lishi saw Li Mi sit down, and came over like kraft candy, "I didn't expect this battle to go so smoothly, God bless me Datang, haha." Gao Lishi was very happy, of course he knew the importance of grain and grass to the army, burning the rebels' grain and grass cut off the rebels' rations, this time, the rebels who attacked Tongguan must have to withdraw, and the danger of Tongguan must be solved.
Li Mi held a wooden stick with rabbit meat in his hand, and roasted it attentively, turning it over from time to time so as not to burn it. His eyes were staring at the flames and the rabbit meat above the flames, his expression was relaxed, and he said with a smile, "What God bless the Tang Dynasty, it is the credit of me and my brothers." If you say yes to the brothers to marry their daughters-in-law, you can't break your promise, two thousand mothers-in-law, hurry up, tall and boss. ”
"What two thousand. How can you count the brothers who died in battle? Could it be that Gao can't be a matchmaker to marry a yin relative? Colliers' face froze, and his smile stiffened. With so many women, Colliers has a big head when he thinks about it. "You haven't told Gao about the battle of Hongnong, how many brothers were killed in our army" Gao Lishi hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Not a single one, except for the two brethren who had fallen off the cliff. I have already sent someone to the cliff to find the bones, and bring them back to Tongguan to be buried in the martyrs' cemetery. Speaking of the two brothers who died in battle, Li Mi's face darkened. Although this is not the first time he has led his troops to fight, he inevitably feels heartache whenever his brother dies, and he really treats his subordinates as brothers and blood.
"What?! How is this possible! Hearing Li Mi's words, Gao Lishi couldn't believe his ears. In such a big battle, from the east gate of Hongnong City to the west gate, and the rebels' grain and grass were burned, how could there be no casualties.
"Are there really no casualties?" Colliers asked again in disbelief.
"There are wounds, but they are all flesh wounds. Oh, I remember, there's another one who has his hair burned by the fire, and I don't know if this counts as an injury. Li Mi looked at Gao Lishi as if he had seen a ghost, and smiled happily on his face, "How about it,, Manager Gao." You see if you need to say a few kind words in front of Your Majesty, Your Majesty can allocate some money or something when he is happy, and I will be able to recruit a few more brothers. Li Mi smiled and poked Gao Lishi's shoulder, and said cheaply.
"If this is the case, Gao will definitely report to His Majesty in the market, and he will definitely fight with His Majesty for the opportunity to expand the army." After Li Mi's joke was finished, Gao Lishi admitted it and said with a serious face.
Li Mi saw that Gao Lishi was serious, and he was not in a hurry to pick up. Instead, he took the rabbit meat and took a bite, and found that the rabbit meat was not yet cooked, so he turned around and put it back on the fire again, "Seriously, Mr. Gao." I don't have a talisman from His Majesty, so the credit for this surprise attack won't go to me. So, what do I Li Mi say today, if it is my Tang army, it will be trained by me, hehe... Guess what. Li Mi turned his head and grinned at Colliers.
Gao Lishi's face became even more solemn, and he completely understood the combat power of the army in front of him. If the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can have seventy or eighty percent of the combat power of the army in front of them, it will be terrifying enough. Thinking of this, his eyes widened, and he stared at Li Mi tightly.
"Manager Gao, you don't have a crush on me, you want to accept me as a righteous son." Li Mi saw that Gao Lishi's gaze was a little infiltrating, and he made a joke with a smile.
"The person that His Majesty has taken a fancy to, how could Gao not look down on him. However, Gao would never dare to accept you as a righteous son. We can't rob His Majesty of what he likes, no. Gao Lishi was accustomed to Li Mi's intermittent informality, and said with a smile.
"Whatever, I'm not a thing." Li Mi hurriedly protested, "Ahh The more Li Mi spoke, the more he turned red. Instead, he leaned back and turned Colliers on the side, pointed at Li Mi and said, "I used to see you play with others, but now I even play myself." ”
The two of them are laughing at the show of flowers (yes, it's a show of flowers. That's what I wanted to do. I'm the author I like). The wooden stick with the rabbit meat roasted in Li Mi's hand was taken over, and Li Mi's face changed when he boarded, "Sunong, you kid brought it to the labor, hey, don't gnaw it, leave a little for the labor, the labor-management has been roasted for a long time." ”
Su Nong had just gone to the sentinel and had just come back at this time. Seeing that the rabbit meat in Li Mi's hand was roasted golden, it was bubbling with oil and exuding an attractive aroma, so he took it while Li Mi was not paying attention. When Li Mi reacted, Sunong had already gnawed on it.
Li Mi's face changed color with anger, picked up a branch next to him and threw it over, "Don't let the labor and management tell you to marry the mother-in-law." Dare to rob the barbecue of labor and management. I'm. ”
"The villain has already married, and the children are all ten years old." Sunong's mouth was full of oil, and he chewed rabbit meat in his mouth and said.
Li Mi became even more angry when he heard this, and he got up and kicked Sunong's ass. Sunon hurriedly dodged. Li Mi chased and scolded, "Believe it or not, labor and management sent you back to be the head of the army." Damn, I robbed the labor-management things and talked back to the labor-capital. It's the other way around. ”
Sunong also ran and hid, chewing rabbit meat in his mouth and explained, "The villain just went to the front to explore the way, he is really hungry, and the captain should not be angry." The villain will give you filial piety to rabbit meat every day in the future. Li Mi was not satisfied, and chased after Su Nong with a curse in his mouth. The sergeants sitting around were amused by the two of them.
"Don't chase after the captain, the villain has found out about the situation." Sunong was panting when he was chased by Li Mi, and said as he ran.
"What a situation! If you can't say why, see if labor and management don't interrupt your dick. Li Mi heard Sunong say that there was a situation, so he stopped and asked.
It turned out that Sunong was particularly familiar with this place, so he asked for his own order when the army was resting and camping, and went to the front to explore the way. At first, the situation was nothing unusual, but on a whim, Sunong walked a few more miles. It doesn't matter if you go, a situation scared Sunong. From afar, he noticed the flickering of fire in the dense forest, and then heard the sound of life and the cutting down of trees. In the middle of the night, it must not be a woodcutter chopping wood, unless the woodcutter is sick in the brain. Sunon quietly touched over and found that the rebels were cutting wood and making rolling logs. Sunong knew what the purpose of the rolling wood was, so he hurried back. Sunong, who had not eaten, ran back and was even hungrier, and when he saw Li Yu's rabbit meat, he subconsciously took it and gnawed it.
After listening to Sunong's report, Li Yu's brows tightened together. This rolling wood is generally used to defend the city, and the rebels who attacked Tongguan did not defend the city, so what is the use of making rolling logs. Li Mi was puzzled, and took out the map in his arms. It didn't matter if he looked at it, it scared Li Mi all over his body. He saw on the map that there was a valley five miles away from Tongguan. Could it be that the defenders of Tongguan abandoned the pass and went to war?!
