After resting for a day in Yinmachuan, Lin Chong set off to Liangshan with 3,000 men and horses, escorting countless money and grain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A big battle in the early hours of last night ended with a complete victory for Lin Chong's side, killing 700 enemies and seriously wounding more than 200.

However, Lin Chong's side only paid the price of less than 20 killed, 28 seriously wounded, and 52 lightly injured.

Such an impressive record naturally boosted the morale of the whole army, Wu Song, Shi Qian, Deng Fei, Yang Lin, Zhao Xuan and others even admired Lin Chong and Du Yan.

Because in their previous thoughts, this was almost unimaginable, but under the operation and planning of Lin Chong and Du Yan, they won so cleanly and beautifully.

It's a miracle!

Wu Song and Zhao Xuan were also full of confidence in Lin Chong's (Lin Leopard)'s rebellion.

Especially Wu Song, who followed Lin Chong to attack and rush into battle at night, Rao is not good at riding and fighting, but he also slashed left and right on the horse, killing people's heads.

This kind of blood boiling, indomitable, invincible feeling is simply too exciting, too refreshing, too exciting.

Wu Song, who was born a warrior, fell in love with this feeling at once, and felt that this kind of galloping on the battlefield and fighting bravely to kill the enemy was the life he wanted most, and the battlefield was his stage.

It's just that he is a tsundere person, and he refused Lin Chong's invitation before, but he didn't know how to stay at this time.

Among the 3,000 men, 2,000 were young recruits recruited by Du Bao, and 1,000 were prisoners of the Shanzhai coalition.

Compared with the immature and timid at the beginning, the spirit of these two thousand young recruits is obviously much more confident than before, and they are all full of spirit.

Sure enough, war is the fastest and best way to train new recruits.

Compared with the large amount of money, food and materials captured before, Lin Chong felt that the biggest gain in the battle in the early hours of yesterday morning was the growth and change of these soldiers.

After experiencing a big battle in the early hours of yesterday morning, seeing blood, and killing people with his own hands, these peasant recruits who were honest and timid before grew up quickly, and their temperament changed dramatically.

Of course, there are a few people who are weak and unadaptable, and after experiencing the big scene of killing in the early hours of yesterday morning, many people are frightened, their legs are weak and they can't stand up, and they can't stop vomiting.

These people can basically be defined as unsuitable for fighting as soldiers, but Lin Chong still decided to give them another chance.

First of all, they will be pulled to Liangshan for three months of recruit training, and then they will be put to the rear to engage in production, to be an engineer soldier, and to be a heavy soldier.

Those who are bold and courageous, who can bear hardships and stand hard work, and who obey commands, are added to the field troops, and even selected to be included in the back-up army.

In addition to these, the other harvest was the capture of nearly two thousand captives at once, the capture of many war horses and horses, and a large number of wagons and oxcarts.

So after resting for a day and dealing with the battlefield, Lin Chong made a decision to let Du Yan, Deng Fei, and Shi Qian continue to stay in Yinmachuan, on the one hand, to prevent bandits from coming to find trouble, and on the other hand, to continue to collect people in Hebei Province.

Lin Chong himself took 2,000 young recruits, escorted 1,000 prisoners, and returned to Liangshan with a lot of money, food, and materials.

The location of the Yinmachuan River is due north of Liangshan, and the straight-line distance is about 400 miles.

However, he was not in a hurry anyway, so Lin Chong made a slight detour, took the southwest direction, first passed through Qinghe County, Enzhou, Wu Song's hometown, then went south to the Daimyo's Mansion in Beijing, and finally turned southeast to return to Liangshan.

Along the way, Lin Chong set up camp and built fortifications in strict accordance with the requirements of the field march.

Not only should a wooden wall be erected around the barracks, but also a trench should be dug outside the wall, and a horse pit should be dug out; Then take the command as a unit, and a camp of 500 people.

Drainage ditches should be dug between the camp and the camp, and deer barricades should be set up inside the camp to reject horses; In the camp, every 12 people in the camp dug a temporary latrine, and then filled it with soil when they left the next day.

In addition, the management of the camp is also very strict, and thirty percent of the people must be divided into the first half of the night, and the second half of the night must take turns to be on duty and stand guard;

Moreover, it was strictly forbidden for soldiers to run between the camps, and after sleeping, not a camp was allowed to run between the tents.

Although each camp has to be busy and hard for half a day, the next morning it is laborious to pull out these large wooden stakes and take them away, which is time-consuming and laborious; And there was never an enemy attacking at night, but Lin Chong still insisted on strictly following the regulations.

However, there are examples of Bian Xiang and others being attacked at night, coupled with the fear and belief of Lin Chong, although these young recruits are very unwilling, they still obey without discounting.

Bian Xiang followed Lin Chong's side, watching Lin Chong arrange these things in an orderly manner every day, and he was full of formality and strictness, and this Hebei giant was finally completely convinced.

This is the army! Compared to this, their own cottage is simply a rabble! Comparing himself to the head of the Lin family is simply a joke.

The speed of marching like this every day was not fast, and it took Lin Chong almost three and a half days to travel only one hundred and seventy miles from Yinmachuan to Qinghe County.

At the end of the morning, the team drove to the east of Qinghe County, more than ten miles, Lin Chong asked Bian Xiang, Meng Kang, and Mei Jiasheng to continue to the south with the team, and he himself accompanied Wu Song to Qinghe County.

Bian Xiang was also moved to see that Lin Chong trusted himself so much, and at the same time became more and more curious about the identity of this "forest leopard".

However, it was said that Lin Chong and Wu Song came to the outside of Qinghe City, and sure enough, they did not see the arrest announcement of Wu Song, and the two entered the city, riding horses while talking, while walking slowly on the street to Wu Song's house.

It's no coincidence that the two of them are walking, Wu Song is happily talking about Wu Dalang's frugality and sending him to Shaolin Temple to learn art, and the porcelain bottle fell from the sky and smashed on the top of Wu Song's head impartially.

The porcelain bottle was naturally broken, but Wu Song's head was also broken, Wu Erlang was already angry, and he was about to have a seizure, but when he looked up, he heard a sound of the porcelain bottle falling to the ground and things crackling and falling to the ground from the window.

Immediately followed by a woman's sad and desperate voice: "Don't ......" and a man's silver evil laughter: "Don't run~ Jin Lian...... Don't be afraid~ but I want to die......"

"Jin Lian, don't be afraid?"

Lin Chong was a little stunned when he heard this, and then laughed again, fate is really amazing.

Wu Song was also stunned at this time, and then immediately understood what was going on, could it be that someone was chasing indecent people upstairs and inadvertently knocking down the porcelain bottle on the windowsill?

He turned his head to look at Lin Chong, but saw that Lin Chong was also looking at him with a smile on his face, and then pointed to the window on the second floor.

"Jin Lian, you are pitiful and pitiful, I don't think you have been a day or two......"

"Ah~ don't ...... Help~"

At this moment, I heard the man's silver smile and the woman's screaming for help from the upstairs again.

Wu Song's eyes suddenly widened with anger, and he broke through the sky with anger.

I saw him rise up at once, and with a heavy step on the saddle with both feet, he had already jumped to grab the windowsill, lifted the curtains, and then turned over into the windowsill with a force on his waist and abdomen.
