Chapter 4 If the king is a young man
Li Congjing walked silently in the camp, the camp was brightly lit under the bright moon, and there were many people, and from time to time patrol sergeants passed by him, and he kept his head down from beginning to end, with thousands of thoughts in his head.
Li Congjing felt that with his friendship with Li Cunqing's uncle and nephew, coupled with the fact that he had served by Li Cunqing's side these days, especially in the Khitan War, hundreds of people were surrounded by thousands of people to fight, and they could be regarded as living and dying together. Li Cunmiao's previous remarks should not be all jokes, and there are many encouraging elements in them.
It's just that among the armies, take the head of the general? It's not such a simple thing to play a game. Even if the right time, place and people are all together, it is just a glimmer of opportunity......
However, Li Congjing was too eager for military merit. Ten years of sharpening a sword, he has been waiting patiently for too long, he doesn't know, this world will give him how much time to prepare, before that, he must put himself in a high position, have his own army, so that he can establish his own power, in order to have the power to protect himself in the rapidly changing chaotic times.
In this world, those who are in a low position can change their sons and eat, and those who are in a high position kill their brothers and kill their fathers, and the court can be changed every few years, what else can be relied on?
"!" Li Congjing spat out a swear word. I thought indignantly: "In the 21st century, Lao Tzu hated himself for being born in the wrong era, if he was in troubled times, he would be a hero and a hegemon!" At that time, I was really young, I didn't know how to be blessed in the blessings, I had to eat, drink, play, and have a girl, although I was not rich and rich, at least I didn't have to walk between killing and being killed every day like now. β
At this time, Li Congjing had already walked out of the camp.
took out the jade pendant he carried with him, and a wisp of coolness came from his thumb. Looking up at the moon, Li Congjing's mood gradually calmed down. After a long time, Li Congjing sighed and muttered, "It's okay." At least, there are still a lot of stars in the night sky of this era. β
With a "poof", Li Congjing pulled out his saber, looked at it for a long time, pointed his knife at the night sky, gritted his teeth and said: "There is no choice between left and right, then fight!" β
Indeed, good times make people complain, and bad times make people excited.
Li Congjing put his knife into the sheath, and suddenly heard a drum sound from the big tent of the Chinese army. Immediately, the sentry tower ordered the flag to wave, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed out of the camp of the central army, and after a while, the sound of the horn sounded throughout the camp!
Hearing the sound of the horn, Li Congjing's face immediately became solemn.
Shuai Ling: Fight the next day!
"Tomorrow, the king division will fight, and there will be another big battle to fight in Weizhou!" Someone next to him was talking, but it was Li Rong, a man in his thirties, who arrived outside the camp at some point, and was sighing at this time.
Li Rong belonged to the local town army, that is, the local army, and unlike the central army like Li Congjing, they rarely went out to fight. It was precisely because he was familiar with the local situation that when the army arrived here, he would be recruited to lead scouts out and detect the enemy's situationβthis was also a common practice.
Li Congjing chuckled and said, "Team Li is also a belligerent? β
"Soldiers are not warlike, and the army has no combat power." Li Rongdao.
"This man is a good knife." Li Congjing thought to himself. said: "As far as Team Li is concerned, this is the time to show his strength. β
Li Congjing's words came from the heart, he fought side by side with Li Rong for a day, and naturally understood the other party's military quality. However, when Li Rong heard Li Congjing's words, not only was he not high-spirited, but his eyes dimmed.
"That's Li Gongzi's business, but it has nothing to do with me. Li's mission has been completed, and he will return to the town tonight. Li Rong said, turned around and walked away, his back was gloomy.
Li Congjing looked at Li Rongyuan's back and thought thoughtfully.
When Li Congjing returned to the tent to rest, he received a military order from the upper level: eat from the time of Ma Zhimao, and listen to the order in front of the tent at three o'clock.
Nothing was said all night.
At the end of the day, Li Cunqiao was the commander. Immediately, the Jin army, which had long been ready to go, set out. This time, it took only five days for Li Cunqiao to travel from Youzhou to Weizhou, and the 5,000 pro-troops he brought were all lightly armed and simple cavalry, and the picture was to win quickly.
After the pioneer battalion left the camp, Li Congjing, who was neatly dressed, stepped on the war horse, led his own team of men and horses, and set off with Li Cunqiao, who was wearing Mingguang armor.
Previously, Duan Ning, the commander of the Liang army, captured Weizhou, and the forward general Zhang Langke Xiangzhou then stormed Weizhou, echoing with Zhang Wenli, who was fighting with the Jin army in Zhenzhou, and the momentum was violent, as if to shake the foundation of the Jin land.
In the case of the Jin army general Yan Bao besieging Zhenzhou, Li Cunqiao went south from Youzhou, and did not pay attention to Zhenzhou at all. Therefore, today's battle is crucial.
After the departure of the army, it was a rapid march, with 5,000 cavalry, all dressed in black and black armor, and the war horses galloped on the official road, like a dragon sneaking, and the ground shook the mountain. Looking at each other before and after, only the armor was seen.
By the time of Shen the next day, the army had rushed to the outside of Weizhou. Because Li Congjing was Li Cunqing's personal guard, he followed Li Cunqing's side, with a broad field of vision, and at a glance, he saw the Liang army camp that he saw yesterday.
It's just that what is quite different from yesterday is that today's Liang army did not storm Weizhou City, but more than 10,000 people were waiting for it, putting up a position in front of the barracks, and refused to defend the camp. It seems that the actions of Li Congjing and others yesterday have made Zhang Lang aware of the arrival of Jin army reinforcements, but Zhang Lang may not have imagined that this time it was the King of Jin himself, who was still in Youzhou, the far north five days ago.
"Attack!"
Li Cunqiao waved his hand and didn't say a word. As soon as the military ordered, from Ma Zhi to the left and right vanguard battalions of thousands of people as sharp knives, directly attacked the Liang army camp that was waiting for the battle. And Li Cunmiao himself, with a hundred guards, rode up to a gentle slope high ground nearby, looking down on the entire battlefield.
Seeing that the reinforcements arrived, there was a burst of cheers from Weizhou City, and when he saw the banner of the reinforcements, he knew that it was the prince of Jin who was killed directly from the horse, where was there any reason for not cooperating with the battle. At that moment, the city gate was opened, and the Wei Bo army inside it would come out, echoing from the distance from Ma Zhiyao, attacking the Liang army camp from two directions.
The sun is just right.
Li Congjing stood behind Li Cunqing, only a few bodies behind, and with the situation of the battlefield, he could have a panoramic view.
Unlike the last time when he was under siege in Youzhou and fought fiercely with the Khitan cavalry, this time, Li Congjing was able to look at the war in front of him from a different height, and he had a deeper understanding of how a war was conducted.
After rushing straight from the horse to the camp of the Liang army, the archers of the Liang army were naturally not idle, and the three arrows and three waves of sword rain brought many casualties to the horse. From Li Congjing's point of view, the rain of arrows like locusts fell, and it was a group of soldiers from Ma Zhi falling from their horses, but this still couldn't stop the charge from Ma Zhi, and in the dust, the army still quickly approached the Liang army formation, and the shouting of killing was breathtaking.
The casualties of his comrades made Li Congjing's heart tighten, and he looked at Li Cunqing, but saw Li Cunqing's expressionless face, as if the battle in front of him could not touch him.
"This is probably the difference between a soldier and a general." Li Congjing was ashamed of his emotions, which made him realize how different he was from those generals, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart, "If you don't take charge of the army, Lao Tzu will be able to face thousands of troops sooner or later, and his face will not change." β
From Ma Zhi rushed into the Liang army formation after paying a certain price, the lethality was immediately reflected, the pikemen and heavy shield soldiers in the Liang army formation could not cause much damage to Ma Zhi at all, Li Congjing saw that the Liang army was full of people turning on their backs, and the battlefield scene was like a hound rushing into a flock of chickens, chickens flying and dogs jumping - the Liang army formation soon suffered a huge test.
Wei Bo's army finally entered the Liang army's formation, and after the tragic battle, the Liang army's army began to rout. At this time, the Liang army camp began to burn out.
"Is Zhang Lang going to burn the camp and escape after all?" Li Congjing saw the fire in Liang's camp and muttered.
Li Cunmiao snorted coldly, "How can it be so easy, just leave if you want to?" β
As he spoke, Li Cunqiao stretched out his hand and pointed to the Liang army camp, turned his head to look at Li Congjing, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said step by step: "Congjing, have you seen the yellow flag in the Liang army camp?" β
Li Congjing looked in the direction pointed by Li Cunqing, and sure enough, he saw a yellow flag floating out of Liang Ying, so he nodded.
Li Cunmiao withdrew his hand, his eyes sharpened, "The silver-armored general under the Huang banner is Zhang Lang, the chief general of this Liang army. A few days ago, the king went north to crusade against the Khitan and defend the territory of the Central Plains, but the Liang army stabbed him in the back, which was really hateful. This victory has been decided, and there is no suspense, but the enemy will not die, and it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in the heart of this king. β
After speaking, Li Cunqiao turned his head to stare at Li Congjing, "Do you dare to take off Zhang Langxiang's head for this king?" β
Li Congjing was stunned.
He suddenly recalled some anecdotes about Li Cunqiao. When this guy was a little younger, he liked to take a hundred people to provoke in front of the enemy camp, and then he was chased and killed by tens of millions of people, but this guy was never caught, and he often could kill for a while, causing more than 100 casualties to the enemy, and then retreated.
This shows the courage of Li Cunqiao and his soldiers.
Whoever is brave will be brave.
"It's simply a multiple-choice question with no choice." Li Congjing thought, "If I retreat like this, Li Cunqiao is afraid that he will not look at me with the right eyes in the future, and Lao Tzu's life will be over." On the contrary, if Lao Tzu succeeds, I can't say that this Li Yazi will really fulfill yesterday's words and give me a position as a real general, so that I have the opportunity to defend one side. β
"Moreover, the Liang army has begun to retreat, the army is quite chaotic, and the possibility of success is still very high at this time!"
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Congjing smiled slightly, looking extremely calm and calm: "It's just a lady's head, take it between the backhand, why don't your subordinates dare?" β
In a word, it is righteous and awe-inspiring, it is really from the 21st century, and it is really pretending to be a good one-handed.
"Li Shaorong stayed, and the rest waited for Li Congjing to fight!" Li Cunmiao drank, his tone was sonorous, as if he was going to fight by himself.
Of course, as the king of Jin, as the safety of a country, it is not absolutely necessary, and he naturally can't do more to fight in front of the battle in person.
Li Congjing hugged his fist to Li Cunqing, "King Jin will go later, and his subordinates will go back later." β
With that, the horse jumped down the hill.
Li Cunqing's soft gaze fell on Li Congjing's sturdy figure, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
"Shao Rong, what do you think of this?" Li Cunqiao asked the generals around him.
Li Shaorong pondered a little and said, "If my king is a young tiger." β
Li Cunqiao laughed.
Li Congjing, who rushed out, suddenly had an idea in his mind: Yesterday, Li Cunqiao deliberately did not promote Lao Tzu according to merit, and said that he would take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand troops...... Wouldn't it be that he had already made up his mind to let Lao Tzu kill Zhang Lang today?
