Chapter 217: As expected
The tent before the rain was sweltering, Li Heng had already stripped off only a dirty clothes, and drank two bowls of mung bean soup in one go, still irritable in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Lying on the mat, holding a bamboo lady in her arms, you can still feel the coolness on the bamboo pillow at the beginning. Gradually, Mrs. Bamboo's body became hotter.
Sweat poured out like a pulp, smeared on the reed mat, slippery and sad.
Unlike people in this era who go to bed as soon as it gets dark and get up before dawn when they smell chickens, Li Heng is used to reading books for a while at night, and he won't go to bed until he is two. Usually, the three stalks will rise in the sun. In the eyes of others, this is inevitably a little unusual.
However, after arriving in the Sizhou Army, he found out that Wang Shen also had the same living habits, speaking of which, the two are also the same!
But...... This guy ...... This martial artist is just too hateful.
Recalling the days when he was in the Sizhou army, Li Hengdu was about to suffer from depression.
In the beginning, he was still ambitious to get the actual command of the army and make a career. In his opinion, how can he say that he is also a subordinate envoy sent by the imperial court to the Jinghu area, Wang Shen, a small seven-rank military attachΓ©, is not trembling when he sees him, but obeys his orders?
But the reality is that this Wang Shen doesn't give him any face at all. In military affairs, he neither asks for instructions nor reports, and one person is arbitrary.
Li Heng also thought about placing his staff in key positions in the middle of the war, so as to imperceptibly grasp the key points of the Sizhou military. However, the people who were sent out were squeezed back within two days, and some of them still wore black eyes, saying that they were beaten out by those lowly military men with their heads covered.
Just the day before yesterday, a staff member was beaten with 20 sticks by the Judge Advocate Advocate General because of his slow marching speed, and he is still lying in bed.
Speaking of the arrogance and horror of the soldiers, the staff members were all pale, and they refused to go on errands.
This incident made Li Heng tremble with anger, but he was helpless, he now had a feeling that he had only met a soldier.
Today, during the day, Wang Shen was angry, and it was hot, Li Heng couldn't sleep, so he had to get up and spread out the paper.
After writing for a long time, the surging heart calmed down.
A man crept over and said in a low voice: "Xianggong, it's already late at night, your old man should rest early, your body is important." β
"What time is it?" Li Heng saw that the inkstone had been exhausted, and couldn't help but ask.
Hu Cong: "It's almost the third watch, and Xianggong usually rests at this time." β
"Oh, it's so late." Li Heng's heart suddenly froze: "Didn't Wang Shen want to go out to steal Li Hong's camp at this hour?" β
Hu Cong: "Yes, the sergeants have finished putting on their clothes and are about to set off." Xianggong, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us, let's sleep first! β
"The old man, as an envoy of the system, naturally has to sit in the Chinese army in such a big war."
Hu Cong smiled bitterly: "Even if Xianggong wants to sit in the Chinese army, no one will listen to your old man." Moreover, as soon as this battle starts, it will be dark, and everyone will be mixed together, if you have a mistake, how can it be good? β
Li Heng is a man who has led soldiers and is also bold, and he is not afraid of this. But when Hu Cong said that no one was willing to listen to him, he was immediately depressed and muttered, "Okay, bring some water, I'll wash it first." β
At this time, suddenly, there was a loud "woo" outside, which turned out to be a terrible wind.
The wind was surprisingly strong, and in the blink of an eye, the crisp sound of flags fluttering in my ears was all over my ears. Then, the tent where Li Heng lived also trembled violently, as if it was about to be overturned directly in the next moment.
"Ahh Inside and outside the tent, Li Heng's servants shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, quickly strengthen the big tent of the Xianggong!" β
Before the words fell, a bolt of lightning swept through the sky outside, illuminating the cowhide tent where Li Heng was transparent.
The dazzling light made everyone stunned.
Then there was a rumbling thunder, as if a huge millstone was rolling through the sky.
A drop of heavy rain was blown up by the strong wind and hit Li Heng's face directly, and it was faintly painful.
Then came the second grain, the third grain...... The hundredth grain, in the blink of an eye, the air was full of thick rain columns, and the whole tent was covered with rain.
Li Heng was also beaten by the rain and couldn't stand still, and suddenly there was an indescribable panic in his heart, feeling that the world was so big that there was no place for his own existence.
"Hurry up, close the tent door!" The servants and the staff all screamed hoarsely.
"Ahh Then, with a loud cry at the same time, their bodies were knocked into the air and fell into the rain in embarrassment.
I saw that Chen Da came over with a few guards.
Lightning streaked across the sky, flickering and flickering, and everything in front of me was clearly visible.
I only saw Chen Da and the others wearing iron armor, carrying big swords and axes, with hideous faces, like evil ghosts from hell.
Suddenly, Li Heng's heart panicked, and he couldn't help shouting: "Chen Da, what do you want to do, do you want to rebel?" Since entering the Sizhou army, Wang Shen and the generals of the army have ignored him. As for the local officials, they are all Du Party figures, and Li Heng is a political enemy with him, so naturally he has no dealings. Therefore, the one who has the most contact with him on weekdays is Chen Da.
Chen Da is a military judge in Sizhou, nicknamed Chen Yanwang, and the soldiers in the army seem to have seen a ghost when they see him.
It is strange to say that Chen Da is very respectful in front of Li Heng, with a fake smile on his face all the time.
But today, he is terrible like this. Li Heng had an inexplicable thought in his heart: Wang Shen wants to kill the old man, yes, he must take advantage of the chaotic battle tonight to kill me!
Hearing his extremely angry shout, Chen Da suddenly smiled and arched his hand: "Li Xianggong, it is time for the army to set off at this moment, and the military mission is small to come and ask Xianggong to go to him to take command, please!" β
With that, with a wave of his hand, two soldiers pounced on him and covered Li Heng with a black sticky thing.
It turned out to be a coat.
Seeing that they were not here to kill him, Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "The old man is not going, the old man is not going!" β
"Xianggong, please!" The strength of the non-commissioned officers of the Judge Advocate General's Office was so great that they couldn't help but say that they hugged Li Heng and left.
In a few moments, they were outside the camp.
Riding on the horse, another lightning bolt passed, and through the rain curtain that had been connected into a silver curtain, Li Heng saw Wang Shen and the guards standing in front of him.
Everywhere there was a sparkling water, and the water was flowing in a southwesterly direction.
In the past, Wang Shen was always young, like an elegant scholar. At this moment, he was dressed in iron armor, with blue light flashing on it, and the rain was flowing down from his iron helmet, forming a small waterfall.
He rode on a horse, carrying a long knife in his hand, as majestic as a god.
There were three giant men around him to protect him, namely Yue Yun, Hu Yantong and Feng Changqing.
With such a heavy rain, his body didn't move at all, and his eyes were burning bright.
Seeing Li Heng, who was drenched in embarrassment, the corners of Wang Shen's mouth curled, and he shouted: "Xianggong is here, and he stands under the banner of the Chinese army, and the last general will take Li Hong's head back for you tonight." β
After that, he waved the long knife in his hand and rushed out first: "The electric light in the sky is our torch, and the long knife in my hand is your direction, follow me!" β
Behind him, thousands of men and horses moved at the same time, and there was no shouting, only the clatter of human feet and horses' hooves stepping into the water. The splash of water made them look like a wave that could wash away everything that stood in their way.
Not a single person spoke, and everyone drove out neatly. In the dark night, so many people and horses were clearly and neatly ordered from each other.
Li Heng is a person who knows goods, how can he not see how strong the combat effectiveness of this army is, his face changed color, and his body couldn't help but tremble violently.
Yes, this was the first time he saw Wang Shen's army fighting the enemy.
Chen Da rode over and grabbed the reins of his war horse: "Xianggong, please follow the end of the future." β
β¦β¦
The troops kept moving forward, trudging through the water, unfast, but unstoppable.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally saw Li Hengjun's swarthy camp in front.
In such a heavy rain, the enemy's lights were extinguished, and they were trembling in the light of lightning, and they seemed so small.
Everything was as Wang Shen expected, Li Hong's thief army made a huge mistake when they set up camp, and for convenience, they set up the old camp on the river beach. One is for the convenience of getting water; Second, Li Hongnai is a northerner and does not know the water and soil of the south. Some time ago, there was a severe drought, and it hadn't rained for a long time, and he didn't know how terrible the torrential rain in the south would be once it fell.
But behold, the rain gathered here everywhere and fiercely hit the camp of the thief army.
The river beach was covered with sand, washed away by the current, the foundations were suddenly hollowed out, rows of fences fell down, a seat of deer was scattered, and timber floated everywhere on the water.
Ironically, the thieves did not appreciate the seriousness of the problem, and they scrambled out of the waterlogged tents and tried to repair the collapsed fortifications under the command of the officers, and thousands of men and horses huddled together, screaming and scolding, like bees blowing up a swarm.
These soldiers have been trained by Grandpa Zong Zezong, and they can be regarded as usable soldiers, and they have experienced countless bloody storms, but today's situation is still the first time they have encountered it, and the order can no longer be chaotic.
"Li Hong is finished!" Wang Shen anticipated this and made the right choice, feeling ecstatic and sad for Li Hong and his soldiers: these soldiers were all men from the north of the two rivers, and there may not be no generous and sad people among them. When he was in Kaifeng, under the leadership of Zong Ze, he fought many battles with the Jurchens, large and small, and shed blood for the country and the nation, and his combat effectiveness was not strong. But since the infighting in the left-behind division and the division of the troops, these hot-blooded men in the past have degenerated rapidly, becoming rogues who brutalize the people, and their combat effectiveness has been declining, becoming garbage without a sense of honor.
If Zong Rulin and Zong Ze know under the spring, they must be revived by their own unsuccessful disciples.
