Chapter 32: Exploring the Enemy Camp at Night
Everyone in the hall was speechless when they looked at the broken phoenix crown and the pearls that were dripping and spinning all over the ground. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Ke heard it and exclaimed, "Good! The ancients said that women can hold up half the sky, who said that women are inferior to men! Good! Everyone listened to his call, and their faces were black, and they secretly wondered where are you here! Isn't this nonsense!
The county lord of Xianning dragged Li Ke out, and Li Ke smiled at Sheng Ping and said, "You stay here for a while, I'll go back!" ”
Watching the two of them walk out of the hall, King Heng sighed and said, "They are all spoiled by widows, don't blame them!" ”
Although those officials were a little embarrassed, they didn't dare to be angry! However, the commander Huang Huan was quite frank, and he hugged his fists and saluted and said: "The county lord is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows!" No wonder I can make many achievements, I really sigh to myself! ”
Prefect He Yongqing nodded: "Yes!" The county lord is indeed full of pride, and compares us husbands with eyebrows! When everyone heard this, they all said yes again and again, and there was a sound of sycophancy, one after another.
Sheng Ping endured the feeling of wanting to vomit, and said to King Heng Fu Yifu: "King Qiyu, the little woman wants to go to the city tower to watch the battle, so she will retire first!" ”
King Heng was stunned again when he heard this, he wanted to go with him, but he was a little scared, but when he thought of his baby daughter, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, good!" The widow is with you! ”

The county lord of Xianning dragged Li Ke to the outside of the hall and shouted to the eunuchs: "Go, bring my blue and white deafness!" Looking at Li Ke again, he shouted: "And that carmine horse with you!" After saying that, he walked out of the palace.
When the two came to the carrier gate, they saw that those guards had already lined up in several teams and gathered together, and the county lord of Xianning glanced at everyone coldly, and said loudly: "Li Gongzi and I are going to visit the enemy camp at night, which of you will go with me!" ”
In fact, since the Yongle period abolished the guards of the vassal kings, over the years, the guards of the various domains have mostly existed in name only, but since the Denglai rebellion, Shandong has not been quiet, and there have been many losses in the Wangzhuang of Hengwangfu, so in desperation, King Heng has made great efforts to gather some veteran soldiers and the like from all over the country, and they are additionally used as guardians, so these people's combat strength is barely okay.
The guards were helpless when they heard the words of the county lord, and shouted unevenly: "I'm going to go!" "While saying in my heart that you are going to go, do we dare to say that you will not go?
Li Ke saw everyone's loveless expressions, and hurriedly stopped the county lord of Xianning and said, "The county lord is slow!" We're just going to investigate, we don't need these many people, we just ask the ten big brothers of the guards to go with us!" ”
The county lord of Xianning thought about it, and regardless of whether those guards were willing or not, he pointed to the dozen or so people in the first row and said, "Okay! Just a few of you! After speaking, a eunuch brought a cloak and a sword, brought the blue and white horse, and the palace maid brought a suit of armor and said, "The county lord wants to change into armor?" Xian Ning pushed it away and reprimanded: "Long-winded! Then he put on his cloak, grabbed his sword, flew on his horse, and shouted, "Follow me!" So he rode out of the house.
Li Ke shook his head, walked over to a guard with a bow, tried the bow and arrows, and felt that it was okay, so he jumped on the carmine, beckoned the guards to get on his horse, and followed.
Hengwang's Mansion is not far from the south gate, and the group soon came to the south gate, only to see the torches hunting up and down the city tower, and a group of officers and soldiers are heavily guarded, and the county lord of Xianning shouted: "Open the door!" ”
That Li Shiyuan was on top of the city tower, listening to the shout, poked his head out to take a look, and said in surprise: "County Lord, where are you going?" There is an army of Jiannu from outside the city, but you don't dare to make a mistake easily! ”
Xian Ning replied impatiently: "Open the door, we are going to the enemy camp to investigate!" ”
"Oops! How to make that! Li Shiyuan's face turned green.
Li Ke was afraid that he would stop him, and hurriedly explained: "General Li, please open the city gate, we have been ordered to go and find out the truth of the Qing army!" ”
Li Shiyuan was hesitant, and when he saw him delaying the Xianning County Lord, he was angry, he pulled out his sword and said in a deep voice: "You dare to disobey the military order!" Aren't you afraid that I will cut you? ”
Li Shiyuan muttered in his heart, how can the military order be passed on like this, you deceive ghosts!
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Li Ke patiently explained: "The enemy army must have no precautions when they first come, so let's go out of the city at this time to investigate, and come to see their details, which is conducive to our arrangement to defend the city!" Second, it is also to boost the morale of our army! We'll go and go back, and we won't do anything drastic! ”
Li Shiyuan thought about it, sighed and said, "Okay! Put down the drawbridge! Open the door! At the sound of the order, I saw the city gate rumbling open!
"Then thank you General Lee!" Li Ke hugged his fists and said, "It's just that General Li is also asked to let the gunners and archers prepare a little, so that we can respond when we return to the city!" ”
Li Shiyuan nodded and said, "Okay! Li Gongzi rest assured! Just be careful! ”
Li Ke didn't say anything more, he went out of the city with the county lord of Xianning, and went straight to the Qing military camp!
————————
The night of early winter is already cold and windy, and it is the middle of the month, a golden moon is in the sky, and everything is hazy and looks so unreal!
Li Ke and Xianning County Lord circled around the Qing army camp from a distance, and took a general look, only to see that the first half was obviously the barracks of the soldiers, and the camp tents had been set up, and the discipline was strict, but the second half was still busy, as if it was some camp tents of Aha who were coated in clothes, which looked chaotic, and the chickens were flying and the dogs were jumping.
Although they don't know how the ancient army set up camp, but their lax defense, it is obvious, not to mention that the sentinels go out to reconnoitre, even the patrol troops in the camp are careless, and they have more than ten horsemen and horses around the barracks, and they have no reaction, which shows that their vigilance is low! If there were an army available now, an attack would definitely cost them dearly! It's just that now I'm afraid that the whole of Shandong can't find a single army like this! After many successive defeats, those officers and soldiers no longer have the heart to fight, not to mention field battles, it is not certain whether the city can be defended or not! That's why these Qing troops dare to be so unscrupulous!
Li Ke rode on his horse and looked at the Qing military camp not far away, shaking his head again and again. In terms of overall military strength, the Qing soldiers may not be less than 10,000 people, but the number of soldiers is absolutely not there.
Seeing Li Ke, the county lord of Xianning shook his head and asked, "Why did Li Gongzi shake his head?" ”
Li Ke pointed to the rear camp of the Qing army in the distance and said: "If there is a cavalry that dares to fight at this time, it doesn't take much, as long as there are more than 800 people, bring gunpowder, and only one assault can definitely burn their military rations!" It's a pity that ......! ”
The county lord of Xianning was puzzled: "Looking at the soldiers you have trained in the cottage, it is very unusual, why don't Li Gongzi train a strong soldier according to his own intentions and serve the country!" ”
Li Ke sighed: "Actually, I don't know how to train or fight, I just know some training methods to improve the quality of the human body!" Besides, the financial and material resources required to train an army are absolutely impossible for me to solve! There is also responsibility, the responsibility to these soldiers, the responsibility to their relatives, which is obviously also something that I, an ordinary person, cannot bear! ”
The county lord of Xianning didn't seem to understand, stared at the Qing army barracks for a while and said in a deep voice: "I don't know the rest, I only know that these beasts slaughtered my relatives, plundered my people, and strengthened my sisters!" If you don't resist being slaughtered, then you might as well die! ”
Li Ke smiled bitterly: "Yes! In fact, what you see now is just the beginning! In the not-too-distant future, such things will only be more and more brutal! ”
Xian Ning was stunned when she heard this, and when she was about to ask, she saw that the middle door of the Qing army barracks was wide open, and a horse rode out of it and came straight to everyone!
