July of the thirteenth year of Sui Daye. The Women's Army conquered Zhouzhi County, and the recalcitrant county commander and county lieutenant were beheaded for public display. The women's army was originally composed of rebels and bandits from all sides, and the army personnel were mixed, cutting paths and killing people, and there were many traitors and criminals.

Li Niangzi tried her best to restrain her, although the battle array could barely be forbidden, but in this kind of siege battle, after the righteous army entered the city, although the military discipline was repeatedly stated, it was strictly forbidden to privateer the people. But with little success.

In the process of alternating power in Zhouzhi County and returning order to the deterrence of the army, the looting of the people almost spread to the towns and countryside. After all, the farming was busy in July, and the people had harvested their crops because of the war, and now there is a lot of grain stored in each family. And what about the Women's Army? In addition to the basic inventory of the rebel army, the military funds for the construction of the army were made up by Li Niangzi by selling her property......

If Li Niangzi was still in the army, such looting might be much more restrained. But Li Niangzi left the army and entered Lijiazhai and didn't come out for a day.

And just when this evil wind of looting became more and more intense, Li Zhenping took Li Zhensheng, Zhencai, Zhen'an brothers and more than 100 Li family children who were willing to follow the young patriarch, rebelled against the ancestral teachings, and followed Li Niangzi away from Yunshan.

In Jiufeng Township, outside Yunshan, when Mrs. Li hadn't decided how to settle the more than 100 people that her best friend Yang Xiuning insisted on letting her take away. Li Zhenping let her see why the women's army failed to attack the city just because the 100 children of Li Jiazhai were guarding the head of Zhouzhi City.

Li Niangzi was bumping into a group of rebel troops who had just looted a large cart of grain from Jiufeng Township. On the road behind the cart, there were several crying and wailing people. Li Niangzi's willow eyebrows were raised and she was about to scold and stop, but Li Zhenping rushed out with a whistle stick without waiting for the order. The Li family brothers followed in the footsteps of their eldest brother, did not hesitate at all, and also rushed over with a hula.

The Li brothers have been playing and hunting since childhood, with tacit understanding, there is no need to greet at all, Li Zhenping and Li Zhenan are the two most capable frontal charges, Li Zhensheng flanked and attacked, and Li Zhencai outflanked and cut off his retreat. Hundreds of children were divided into four groups, each following him.

The raid came so suddenly, so violently. This group of more than 50 rebels did not expect to encounter attacks here, but because everyone in Lijiazhai was dressed as a common person and had no armor, the team leader only regarded the villagers as gathering to riot, although they looked twice as many as their own, but they were not too afraid, and shouted for the team to prepare for a defensive counterattack.

However, in front of the whistle stick of Li Zhenping and the brothers, the defensive formation hastily formed by the righteous army was not even a piece of paper. Li Zhenan was violent, facing the last one with a wooden shield. I saw that between breaths, Li Zhenan's elbows were slightly bent, the soles of his feet stepped on the ground, and a long snake came out of the hole! Just listen to "Knock! With a loud bang, the people on the opposite side flew out with shields, leaving two mouthfuls of blood in the air.

Destroying.

Li Jiazhai beat one hundred and fifty, no one was injured, and all the opposite side fell.

It's not over yet......

The team leader unleashed an arrow for help when he saw the team collapse. And with a hideous threat on his face, he said: "Our commander will cut off your heads!" Camp Knife and Axe will slaughter your family! ”

Li Zhenping was unmoved, and walked up to Li Niangzi with an expressionless face: "The handsome woman's subordinates are not very obedient, and Zhenping taught her a lesson." There will be another one in a while, do you think you are staying away? ”

Mrs. Li was dumbfounded and looked at her good sister's husband, who was 'usually honest and occasionally had no one in his eyes'. Isn't this 'no one in sight' a little too arrogant? He also allowed himself to stay away? What am I? If it was really Duan Jinglei who came over with most of the sword and axe battalion, he had more than 100 people, and he didn't have a pair of armor, what would he use to block the long knife and axe?

"Do you think it's a child's fight?! Do you know what the army is like! If Ben Shuai didn't come forward to mediate, if you beat Duan Jinglei's subordinates today, the Sword and Axe Battalion would not give up! Mrs. Li felt that the joy she had when she met Yang Xiuning was gone, and there were really two worlds inside and outside the mountains. Out of Yunshan, he is the commander of an army, there are countless things to deal with, and there are enemies to face in all directions. It's just that I didn't expect Xiuning to give a charcoal-like bonus in the snow, and he caused such a big trouble as soon as he came down the mountain.

No matter how hoarse Mrs. Li was, Li Zhenping had a straight face and an expressionless appearance, without the gentleness and warmth when looking at his wife and children on the mountain. "A rabble, what's the difference between a group of rabble and a little cub fighting. You stay away, I'll help you clean them up, and they will be more obedient in the future! This is like the wolves in the mountains, since you can't kill them, let's fight them until they are afraid, and beat them until they remember where is our territory! You'll have to put away your fangs and claws on my territory! ”

"That's right!" The bold voice sounded from the forest path, Li Zhenping and Li Niangzi followed the prestige, and the group was walking along the mountain road. The middle-aged man led by the dragon walked in tiger steps, linen straw sandals, his hands were empty, his fists were clenched into fists, and his arms were swinging in the wind. "I'm afraid of who will come to fight in Lijiazhai!"

"Second uncle!?"

"Second uncle." "Father!" "Second uncle." The children of the Li family saluted Li Guangxiung in unison. Dozens of people followed behind Li Guangxiong also hugged each other and greeted each other. Unlike Li Zhenping, who brought the younger generation, this group of people are all middle-aged men, and they are all uncles and uncles brought out by Li Zhenping.

Li Guangxiong walked up to Li Zhenping's side and snorted heavily pretending to be angry: "Big brother doesn't worry about you stinky boys." ”

The Li Zhenping brothers hung their heads in shame. Li Guangxiong was not long-winded, and said to Mrs. Li: "The Li family is good at fighting, but they can't be thirsty for killing. Xiuning girl has only asked for such one thing since she married into my Li family, and my Li family is not unsympathetic. You are a friend of Xiuning, and you can prevent the army from attacking my Li Jiazhai, which can be regarded as a favor with us. Now that the army is in chaos, we will go out of the mountains to protect you, but the attack can be avoided. After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Li Zhenping, and scolded with hatred: "I heard that there is no Zhenping!" is a father, or will only do things impulsively! The ancestral teachings are dead, but people are alive! I don't know how to turn my brain! ”

Li Zhenping scratched his head in embarrassment and didn't dare to answer. If he hadn't forced himself down the mountain, his stubborn dad would have changed his tune.

Li Niangzi came out of Lijiazhai and also heard a little about the strange ancestral teachings of Lijiazhai. But now is not the time to worry about that. "Second Master Li, it's easy to talk about the army. I have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and I don't need the Li family to charge into battle. But just ......"

"Just hit it! If anyone dares to take revenge in a while, they will continue to fight! ”

"Second Master Li!? You're adding to the chaos! ”

"Mrs. Li. You can start from nothing, gather tens of thousands of troops, and win consecutive battles, which is truly remarkable. I heard Xiuning girl say that you lead the army and do not offend the people, do not kill innocents indiscriminately, and are a real righteous army. It's just that now it seems that although military discipline exists, military law is not very strict. This group of arrogant soldiers under your command began to be reckless after winning a few battles, and I don't know what my surname is. You have to tell them the rules! Li Guangxiong said and raised his hand in the direction of Yunshan, and said with a fierce expression: "The wolves in the mountains dare not come to Yunshan to hunt, why?" Because we fight once they come, we tell them with blood that Yunshan is our territory! We use blood to make these animals remember the rules of Yunshan! ”

After Li Guangxiong finished speaking domineeringly, he looked at Li Zhenping and motioned for him to command the action. Li Zhenping nodded, raised his hands and slapped a few times. The Li family immediately stopped talking and looked over. Li Zhenping raised his voice and said: "The weapons in the clan can't be brought out of the mountain, and everyone doesn't even have a knife in their hands. Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone has prepared their affairs! ”

"Li Zhenping, what are you going to do?!" Mrs. Li is also a bold person, but the group of people with the same surname I met today are simply crazy! When I was on the mountain, I was honest one by one, how did I go down the mountain and look like a different person.

"Mrs. Li...... It's time to be called the boss in the future. Boss, you go slowly. I will first enforce the military law on these people who have violated military discipline, and if there are still those who are not convinced, you will make peace. After Li Zhenping finished speaking, he ignored Li Niangzi's angry appearance, waved his hand forward, and shouted: "Mountain Road Branch!" Don't ask if you encounter an enemy! Whoever swings a knife at each other will be beaten! Let's go! ”

The people of Li Jiazhai swarmed and set off behind Li Zhenping. The soldiers of the sword and axe battalion who were defeated before bore the brunt of the defeat and were forced to replenish their weapons for the Li family. Of course, there are only more than fifty thick iron knives and bamboo spears, and the wooden shield cannot meet the needs of the Li family at all. So Li Zhenping did not wait for the enemy to come in place, but marched along the road.

As they marched, the team gradually divided into two teams, that is, into four teams, and then more and more, and the men dispersed and spread out to both sides of the road. When the first wave of more than 100 soldiers of the sword and axe battalion was encountered, there were less than 20 people left behind Li Zhenping, who was left on the road.

Frontal charge, flank assault, cut off the retreat, encircle and annihilate.

The routine is still the same routine, simple, direct, and effective.

The Li family had more than 100 more weapons and more than a dozen pieces of leather armor. But it's still not enough......

So, the routine continued......

By the time Li Zhenping appeared outside Zhouzhi City with the heavily armed Li family and confronted the large force of the Sword and Axe Battalion, the Knife and Axe Battalion had already been defeated and looted more than 500 people. And facing the thousand knives and axes brought out by Duan Jinglei.

No one in Li Jiazhai paid attention to Duan Xinlei's shouting in front of the battle. This made the sword and axe battalion, which was being pointed out and ridiculed by other rebels, even more ashamed. At that time, in the Li Jiazhai camp, Li Guangxiong came to Li Zhenping's side and whispered: "If you can win this battle...... Your father asked me to bring out a military flag...... Whether you can put up the flag or not is up to you. ”

Li Zhenping's eyes lit up, he was no longer verbose, he strode to the front of the formation, faced all the clansmen, raised the lance in his hand, and shouted loudly: "The period when Li Jiazhai becomes an army is today!" Brothers! Break through the enemy lines! Raise the flag of our army! Charge! ”

"Stepping on the !!"

The encouragement in front of the formation, which only the children of the Li family could understand, instantly made everyone feel like a madman, raised the blade in his hand, and rushed towards the sword and axe camp.

Li Niangzi followed all the way, originally saw that the people of Li Jiazhai were very strategic in fighting, but she didn't expect that at this time, she would be outnumbered and charged so disorderly? couldn't help but scold: "Sister Xiuning, what kind of crazy people are you looking for me......"

Among the other rebels who were onlookers, there was a disdain of disdain and then laughter, only one of them turned pale after hearing Li Zhenping's words. That is Li Congwen, who was expelled from Lijiazhai at the beginning, and led troops to surround Lijiazhai before. As a child of the Li family, he understood the meaning of that sentence too well.

It is the glory inherited from the ancestors, and it is the desire that is passed down in the blood! The bloodline of the Li family has withered to this day, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, but 'under the military flag, there is me invincible!' ’

The ancestral training is like a cloud mountain, protecting the descendants of the Li family. However, Zu Xun is also like a cloud mountain, suppressing the bloodthirsty fighting spirit in the blood of the Li family. Li Congwen was unwilling to be a farmer for the rest of his life, so he repeatedly instigated the clansmen to go out of the mountain, and repeatedly refused to change his teachings, so he was expelled from Yunshan by the patriarch in anger and removed from the family tree.

Although he has made some names now, he knows better than anyone else the strength of the Li family's hidden bloodline. So there was a Li family on the city wall of Zhou Zhi, and he asked others to touch their heads and break the bloodstream. Li Jiazhai was surrounded by him, and before he could say a few arrogant words, Li Zhenping came back from Zhou Zhicheng, which was besieged by the army. Without half a word of nonsense, he swaggered back to Lijiazhai......

Now the people of Lijiazhai are finally going to disobey the ancestral teachings and raise the military flag outside the mountain...... Li Congwen's original goal was achieved. It's a pity that there is no place for him under the banner.

Li Zhenping's brothers took the lead in breaking the formation and tore open the sword and axe camp, and the Li family followed closely behind, like a sharp axe, as if to split the knife and axe camp from it. But the difference in numbers between the two sides was too large, and the two wings of the sword and axe battalion were outflanked, and the Baxia battalion was soon surrounded.

Just as Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and prepared to fight and move forward to organize this melee. Just listen to a thunderous cheer in the center of the battlefield! A big flag is hung on the Zhangba spear and held high!

"Dominate the flag?!" Li Congwen exclaimed in surprise, causing the guards around him to turn their heads to look at him. Li Congwen saw nothing else in his eyes, his eyes stared straight at the flag, and his eyes became as red as the hideous bully on the flag! "Take your oath and don't move like a mountain!" Li Congwen stood on horseback, looked into the sword and axe camp formation, and saw the Li family's formation clearly, "Circle formation? Disc? It's so steady! Duan Jinglei has to peel off his skin if he doesn't die this time! ”

When the thought of "the sword and axe battalion lost ......" appeared in the hearts of the onlookers, everyone was taken aback. In retrospect, it is clear when the tide of the war began to reverse. In short, people watched the Knife and Axe Battalion being knocked down one by one but not dying, seeing more than a third of more than a thousand people fall, a third dragged by the wounded, and the remaining third watching helplessly outside......

Then Duan Jinglei tried in vain to break the turtle shell of the Li family, but he was captured by Fang in one face...... And then I couldn't fight anymore......

Afterwards, Li Niangzi rode forward and called a halt to the battle. Just outside the city, Zhou Zhi faced the whole army, reaffirmed the military regulations, and strictly enforced military law. The sword and axe battalion plundered the people privately, and the whole battalion was beaten with 30 military sticks. The battalion was reorganized and expanded to 500 people, supervising the military discipline of the whole army!

This incident was seen by the people of the city, and the scene of thousands of people being reprimanded at the same time was passed on by word of mouth, and the reputation of the women's army was greatly enhanced, and everywhere they went, they were quite supported by the local people. After the orders of the whole army were gradually unified, Li Niangzi's military talent was further developed, and she defeated the Sui Dynasty's Qing troops several times, firmly occupied a piece of territory in Guanzhong, and was ready to respond to Li Yuan, the king of Tang.

Then, Li Yuan raised troops against the Sui. Li Shimin led the army to join forces with Li Niangzi on the north bank of the Wei River, and the sword pointed directly at Chang'an!

After breaking through Chang'an City, Li Shimin saw the majesty of the military law team of the Women's Army, the Baxia Battalion!
