Chapter 224: The decisive battle against Xining IV
After the conflict just now, no one dared to block the way of the Crow Army like Qian Anming, after all, there are still very few people who are not afraid of death. At most, do something that follows behind the ranks of the Crows.
Li Bo withdrew his gaze, and was about to wonder where to get a big carriage, otherwise how would he get a lot of goods in his mansion? As for following behind the Crows, he didn't really want to.
If you can't be with the main team of the Crow Army and get their protection, following them is even more dangerous than running away alone.
Because a huge team like them is bound to attract the attention of the Meng Yuan army, once the fight starts, the team that follows will definitely become outcasts, no one will care about their life or death, and even become cannon fodder for the two armies to fight.
Li Bo shook his head, and was about to go back to continue to command his subordinates to clean up, when suddenly his eyes froze, and he looked at the group of people in the Black Crow Army team who had just walked over.
Those are clearly the craftsmen in their own manufacturing bureau, especially the one who takes the lead, is Zhong Xinde, the new steward of the firearms workshop. When Zhong Qinghan, the commander of the Black Crow Army, stuffed him into the firearms workshop, he also came forward to entertain him, so he would definitely not admit his mistake.
Li Bo only remembered at this time, Zhong Xinde is also a member of the Zhongfu family, and when the Black Crow Army retreated this time, he also brought the people of Zhongfu with him, but he didn't expect this Zhong Xinde to be righteous and angry, and he also brought hundreds of craftsmen from the Manufacturing Bureau with him.
In this way, maybe you can also take a ride with the wind......
Thinking of this, Li Bo hurriedly approached the middle of the road and greeted loudly: "Brother Hinde, Brother Hinde ......"
Zhong Xinde was burying his head in the road, and suddenly heard someone shouting his name in his ear, and hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from, and he was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be Li Bo, the general manager of the Manufacturing Bureau, and his current identity was still the manager of the Firearms Workshop of the Manufacturing Bureau, directly under the control of Li Bo.
He stopped, and arched his hand at Li Bo: "General Manager Li's office is fine, I don't know what the general office called me?" ”
Li Bo smiled and squeezed up, but was pushed away by a nursing home who passed by, and said coldly: "Who are you?" Our master has an explanation, no one is allowed to approach the team, otherwise there will be no mercy! ”
Li Bo was stunned for a moment, his face was annoyed, but he didn't know who he was, looking at his dress, it was the equipment of the guards, and seeing him and Zhong Xinde together, I heard him talk about "master", and thought that he was from Zhongfu, and he didn't dare to make more trouble.
"This little brother is not strange, the lower official is just looking for the middle steward to say something, please make it convenient." Li Bo laughed beside him.
As soon as the nurse heard that he was also an official, he was worried about causing trouble to the master, so he urged: "Say it quickly, don't delay our march." ”
Zhong Xinde left the team, came to the side of the road, and asked: "I don't know what is the matter with Mr. Li, please make it clear that my young lady has an order not to delay the team's trip without authorization, otherwise she will be heavily responsible." ”
Li Bo hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, just a few words, it won't delay too much time." Dare to ask Brother Hinder, are you with the craftsmen of the Manufacturing Bureau? ”
Zhong Xinde nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Li Botian said with a grimace: "Brother Xinde, you are about to bring all the craftsmen from the Manufacturing Bureau, can you bring the lower and lower officials with you?" ”
Zhong Xinde hesitated, shook his head and said, "General Manager Li, I'm very sorry, my subordinates can't be the master of this matter, and I have to ask my young lady to do it." ”
Li Bo bowed to the end and said with a long bow: "Then please ask Brother Hinder, if you bring the upper and lower officials, it will also be convenient for the craftsmen who manage the manufacturing bureau in the name of righteousness, isn't it?" ”
Zhong Xinde also made sense when he heard this, his uncle had abducted the craftsmen from the Manufacturing Bureau this time, and if the government investigated it afterwards, it would not be a big trouble.
It's better to take Li Bo with you, and when the time comes, it will be said that the general office commanded the craftsmen to retreat, and then was protected by the crow army, so that not only is there no fault, but there is merit. As for whether the government will investigate Li Bo's escape at that time, it has nothing to do with the young lady and the uncle.
When Zhong Xinde found Zhong Qinghan and Su Ziheng and reported the matter, Zhong Qinghan asked, "Ziheng, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Su Ziheng nodded and said: "Uncle De has considered it well, if he doesn't have many people, it doesn't hurt to bring it, but he is required to abide by the rules of the team, and he is not allowed to approach the craftsmen without permission." I don't want this group of craftsmen to be controlled by him. ”
Zhong Xinde hurriedly nodded and said, "Uncle, don't worry, the small one will be arranged, and it will not affect your plan." ”
When he went back to find Li Bo and said the conditions, where did Li Bo dare to object, and thanked him repeatedly, "Brother Xinde, don't worry, you will definitely not break the rules of the house." Just be able to withdraw with your army. ”
I have to say that Li Bo is still very good at being a man, and as soon as he saw that he had thighs to hug, he immediately gave up his plan to look for a carriage. Summoned more than a dozen subordinates from the mansion to carry a little each, and joined the team.
Just in case, Zhong Xinde arranged them among the subordinates of the Zhong Mansion, and told the subordinates to pay attention to their group and not to move around at will.
……
……
"Kill!"
"The pikemen attack, the shield bearers cover, the archers pay attention to long-range projectiles, and the Mengyuan dog soldiers are not allowed to cross the line of fire."
A hoarse roar was commanding in an orderly manner, tightly blocking Meng Yuanjun on the streets of Xishi, so that they could not enter an inch.
On the street, there was already a river of blood, and there were countless corpses lying all over the place, including the Liangzhou army, and more of them were the Mengyuan army. Although the Meng Yuan army took the West City Gate, it also encountered the fiercest resistance in history.
The stretch of road from the West City Gate to the West Market Street has become a veritable meat grinder, and almost none of the soldiers on either side who set foot in this area can retreat intact.
The Meng Yuan army has the advantage of having a large number of people, but it is not good at positional warfare. On the open battlefield in the wilderness, a thousand Mengyuan elite cavalry can easily play more than five times the Great Xia soldiers; If it was in such a narrow place, in the streets and alleys where even horses could run, the five Mengyuan armies were no match for the three Great Xia soldiers who formed a battle.
What's more, the defenders of Great Xia occupied a geographical advantage, and the archers all occupied the positions of the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, condescendingly suppressing the surprise attack of the Meng Yuan army with firepower.
The head-on battle could not break through the blockade of the Great Xia defenders, and the long-range archers could not all pull in, and the arrows shot by the sporadic individual archers were all blocked by the Great Xia shield players, so that the Meng Yuan army could not think of another way except to fill it with human lives.
Even if they knew that if they continued like this, they would suffer heavy casualties, Bo Yalun and Jebe did not dare to recall the Meng Yuan army easily, otherwise once the Liangzhou army recaptured the West City Gate, and then wanted to take it again, I am afraid that they would have to pay several times, or even more than ten times the casualties.
Bo Yalun looked at the West City Gate that devoured countless soldiers with a gloomy face, and he had been anxiously praying in his heart, "Why didn't the imperial brother come with a large army quickly?" If you continue to fill in human lives like this, it is estimated that it will not last long. ”
Suddenly, she heard an earth-shattering cheer from inside the West City Gate: "General! Mighty! General! Mighty! ”
Bo Yalun's heart sank, "Zhong Gang is not dead yet?" ”
