Chapter 595: A warrior who covets the daughter of the Wang family
The icy mountain spring water, combined with the dry and hard beef, would never have been able to digest it without a stomach as strong as steel. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Even two years ago, Cao Ping never thought that one day he would rely on this thing to sustain his life.
For a fighter, eating is just a necessary lesson to maintain combat effectiveness, not enjoyment. He enjoyed only one thing, and that was to make the enemy tremble and fall to their knees in front of them, screaming in despair and quickly annihilating.
Every time he rested, Cao Ping would take out a dagger one foot and two inches long, and then carefully mark the handle.
The dagger was left by the ancestor Cao Bin, and it is said that the first owner of the dagger was Li Yu, the king of the dead country who was very good at filling in words.
It's a dagger with a lot to tell.
Cao Ping drew a fifth mark on it, indicating that five tribes had been killed by them. After a short rest, they had to go to the next tribe, and Cao Ping calculated that the gunpowder and oil they carried were only enough for two sneak attacks, and after that, they had to retreat and resupply.
Counting the fact that they have wiped out more than 2,000 people in one battle, and they have only lost 5 brothers themselves, and the exchange ratio has reached an astonishing 1 to 400, which is definitely something to be proud of!
"Boss, there's a situation."
A naΓ―ve soldier suddenly came over, bared his teeth, and smiled, "I found a group of Qingtang soldiers." β
"How many?"
"There are six or seven hundred!"
Cao Ping shook his head, "No, there are too many of them, we only eat meat, not bones." β
"Boss, listen to me." The soldier smiled: "They have thousands of war horses, as well as a lot of cattle and sheep, but they can be fat!" β
Cao Ping's heart moved, it was actually a logistics unit!
He jumped up excitedly, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" Everyone cheered up, did a ruthless vote, let's ride home! β
The narrow valley stretched for nearly ten miles, and at its narrowest point only two people could pass side by side, and the soldiers had to lead their horses to pass safely.
Dong Yu chose to go on an expedition with a labor division, it was not a smart decision, he had to requisition materials from everywhere, now it is late autumn, the cold winter is coming at any time, cattle and sheep are the lives of the tribal herdsmen, less may not be able to survive the winter, but there is no way, can only take it out, supply military supplies.
The leader who was responsible for escorting this batch of war horses, cattle and sheep was named Blind Medicine, who was Blind Yu's subordinate, and he used to be the most active allegiance to Mu Zheng, but when Dong Yu came, he immediately changed his face and took out 120% of his diligence to please the new master.
"Chief, they're all in!
"Okay, do it!"
In an instant, soldiers ignited the gunpowder at both ends of the canyon, and the explosion was shocking, and the falling stones blocked the way forward and backward.
The stones that tumbled from the top of the hill were like hailstones, and the cattle, sheep, horses, and soldiers were all enveloped.
When more than half of the people below were killed and wounded, and they were embarrassed, Cao Ping and they rushed down, and shot the Qingtang soldiers to death with crossbow arrows.
When the smoke cleared, the blind medicine was gone, and not even a piece of minced meat could be found, Cao Ping only found a scimitar inlaid with gems next to a pile of rocks, and he did not hesitate to collect it as a trophy.
Cao Ping swaggered back to Lintao Fort with the remaining 1,800 war horses and thousands of cattle and sheep.
What awaited them was an unprecedentedly warm welcome, a hundred soldiers, in half a month, drove thousands of miles, exterminated five tribes, captured richly, and the Shanzi battalion ushered in a good start!
"Good boy, it's good to have the appearance of your father when he was young!"
Cao Ping's face turned red, and he coughed: "Dad, did you go to the battlefield when you were young?" β
Cao Tong glared at him fiercely, "Your father has been to Fan Tower, and he is also killing all sides, don't accept it?" β
"Serve, take ......" Cao Ping wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist, and put on an unreliable father, who was speechless, "By the way, why did you run to the front of the army?" β
"What? Think your dad is making trouble? β
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Cao Ping waved his hand again and again.
Cao Tong sighed, "It's not your mother yet, you have to force me to come over, there is no way, you can only ask for a matter of escorting grain and grass, fighting brothers, and going into battle as father and son soldiers." You can't be born and die alone, your father is sitting at home and waiting, your father can't do that kind of thing! β
Cao Ping's eyes are red, and his unreliable father is still very good!
The two of them hooked their shoulders and backs, and when they arrived at Cao Tong's accommodation, they directly poured a jar of wine into each person...... Not only Cao Ping, but every soldier drank bitterly, got drunk, and then fell asleep.
They are too tired and need to rest, to regain their combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and the battlefield still needs them!
β¦β¦
Wang Shao sent a large number of teams to attack Dong Yu's back road, including Yeli Yuqi, and his men and horses were also scattered, desperate to attack Dong Yu's back road, destroy the grain and grass, and punish those wall grass.
In the face of endless attacks, Dong Yu was crazy and helpless.
He called his most confidant Oni Zhang.
"You say, what does Da Song mean by this? Didn't they boast that they had a million elite soldiers, so why didn't they dare to send them out to fight us? On the contrary, it is like a fly, buzzing around, which is really hateful! β
Ghost Zhang grinned, "Lord, this matter is both happy and worried." β
"What, it's worth rejoicing?"
"That's right!"
Ghost Zhang said with a presence: "The minister went to the Great Song Dynasty, I heard that they killed two highly respected ministers, and dismissed the four governors from Beijing, and now the country is a group of young people, the minister once witnessed with his own eyes, there is a boy in his early twenties, the vertical son is in charge, what do they know?" β
If Wang Ningan knew that Ghost Zhang would say this about him, he wouldn't know whether to be happy or angry!
"They don't understand anything, so they open and close their mouths to fight, but they can't figure out how to fight. That Wang Shao is a ruthless man and a smart person. He knew that it would be a dead end to have a hard time with the lord, so he sent men and horses to keep attacking and harassing, in a vain attempt to force the lord to retreat, so the minister said that Wang Shao was empty-hearted! β
"Oh?"
Dong Yu raised his eyebrows, his face showed joy, he thought about it repeatedly, slapped his face for the last time, and said excitedly: "What you said is very good!" Immediately give the order, everyone pulls out the camp and marches into Xuzhou! β
The main force of the Qingtang Dynasty only stayed in Dingqiang City for a short time, and then they were impatient to come to Xuzhou.
Their movements were all under Wang Shao's surveillance.
When he got the news, Wang Shao waved his arms excitedly, and finally showed a relieved smile.
"It's coming, don't think about going back!"
Wang Shao immediately ordered, let all the horses get ready, this is a well-designed hunting operation, everyone must be careful, for fear that there will be a little bit of a pool, if the prey is scared away, or let go, the vast Qingtang, the majestic plateau, and the stretching snow-capped mountains will become the hiding place of the Qingtang people, and from then on, the Great Song Dynasty will not want to enjoy peace.
It's all in one battle!
After Wang Shao gave another order to all the people, he personally guarded Xuzhou City, and he wanted to use himself as bait to lure Dong Yu to take the bait!
"Lord Wang, count me in!"
When he reached middle age, Cao Tong was a little blessed, and the plate armor prepared two years ago was already a little small, especially after the helmet was put on, the big face plate was like two apples, and it was squeezed out.
Wang Shao was taken aback.
"I said Uncle Guo, you have sent military rations, so let's hurry back to Xijing!"
"No!"
Cao Tong slammed the table and suddenly hit the ground with one knee.
"Wang Dashuai, there is no uncle here, only a small soldier Cao Tong, who is willing to obey the dispatch, if you don't let me stay in Xuzhou, I, I will wipe my neck!"
Wang Shao was made speechless, it was really the two of them, didn't Cao Ping threaten him like this at the beginning, in turn, Cao Tong used this trick to deal with Wang Shao.
"I'm afraid that you won't be able to do it, Uncle Guo, you can stay by my side as a personal guard!"
In the city of Xuzhou, there are only 8,000 people in total, plus 1,500 people who escort grain and grass, and less than 20,000 people.
Since the city was only repaired last year, the west city and the north city were completed by two-thirds, and the city wall of less than two zhang has not yet been installed on it.
No matter how you look at it, it's all a fragile egg, an army of 100,000, you can take it down as soon as you go!
β¦β¦
The grass is dry and the water is clear, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the goshawk flutters its wings, and the horse's hooves fly.
Two young men in their prime were constantly chasing, and the two war horses of the same divine steed, on par, ran for twenty or thirty miles before they slowly stopped.
Wang Ningze wiped the sweat on his face and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen, equestrian skills are good!" β
Opposite him, he was also a young man, who seemed to be a little smaller than Wang Ningze, white and pure, very deep and introverted. It's none other than the head of the Zhe Family Army!
"Riding a bow and shooting a horse is a martial artist's ability to eat, and I dare not forget it...... But the younger brother is a little curious, Brother Wang's father and brother are all heroes in the world, you can live a little easier, why bother so hard! β
Wang Ningze rolled his eyes, "You don't want to be me!" Do you know who our family is? Needless to say, my brother is also very powerful, my mother is the god of wealth, if I don't practice well, even my sister can't beat, and I don't even have the qualifications to hold my head up and stand tall at home, so my status is not high! β
"?"
"It's just a cat like a bear, living by selling cuteness all day long."
Zhi Kerou scratched her head and said sympathetically: "That's pitiful enough, by the way, Sister Ling's martial arts are very good?" β
"Not really!" Wang Ningze complained unceremoniously, "My sister, she was quite civilized when she was a child, and she didn't know what was wrong, so she had to learn martial arts, and later followed my sister-in-law to practice, and learned the Yang family's marksmanship and knife skills, I can barely have a draw with her this year, and I was miserably abused before!" β
Wang Ningze vomited bitterness, but he didn't pay attention at all, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhi Kerou's eyes, the daughter of the Wang family must be extraordinary...... It looks like you have to perform well and show real skills!
Zhe Kerou secretly made up her mind!
