Chapter 269: Small Battle

Lu Dalin, who was in Uyan Baatar, naturally didn't know Li Qing's true thoughts, and Li Qing's thoughts were really not enough for outsiders, so even Shang Haibo didn't know what Li Qing thought, let alone that Li Qing already had detailed drawings of Uyan Baatar in his hand, but he was so anxious that Lu Dalin's Uyan Bato was blocked, although Shang Haibo was anxious, but he was not stupid enough to want to point fingers at Lu Dalin's command, and he himself knew that his strength lay in strategy, not specific tactical command, Among the generals in Dingzhou, I am afraid that in terms of tactical attainments and on-the-spot command, except for the commander, no one can compare with Lu Dalin. Guan Xinglong has the potential to become a generation of famous generals, but he is still too young, and he has seen too few big scenes, like this ability to command hundreds of thousands of troops, except for Lu Dalin, there is really no one to find at the moment.

LΓΌ Dalin was waiting for the earth to freeze, and Hu He was waiting for Bayar to defeat the combined forces of Shanfeng and Murowei. Of course, both of them are prestigious generals, and it is impossible to stare at each other from these dozens of miles, although Lu Dalin is trapped by the terrain and the large army can't beat it, and Hu He will not be idiotic to lead the army to shock the opponent, but the small-scale killing battle is carried out every day within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and its tragedy is no less than that of large-scale battles. There is no other reason, large-scale battles, the hope of escape is greater, and this kind of handover of small forces, once encountered, almost always ends in the total destruction of one side.

"It may seem like a no-brainer, but it's a must." Lu Dalin said to the next general. "The confrontation between the two armies, the most feared is to do nothing, it is very easy for the soldiers to breed lazy surnames, we must let the soldiers understand every day, we are all on the verge of life and death, everyone must be careful, we are here to fight, not to see the scenery in Uyanbato. There is only one thing that keeps the morale of the soldiers high, and that is blood, the enemy's, or our own. ”

The generals headed by Wang Qinian were all awe-inspiring, and Lu Dalin was among them who had the most right to speak in the battle against the barbarians.

"Every day, each unit takes turns to fight, and the number of soldiers ranges from 100 to 1,000." Lu Dalin ordered loudly.

At the same time, Hu He was saying the same thing in his big tent, and under the deliberate intention of the commanders of the two sides, small-scale battles broke out every day from time to time.

Li Shengzhi led a team of 100 people quietly ambushed between the withered yellow pastures, they quietly went out of the city in the middle of the night yesterday, and sneaked along the road that the scouts had probed out, the temperature at night was very low, before leaving, Li Shengzhi secretly ran to the medical camp, stole a large pot of liquor, Dingzhou food is insufficient, and a large number of people need to buy from other places every year, so wine is forbidden to be brewed privately in Dingzhou, and these spirits are only available in the medical camp, used to disinfect the wounded soldiers. When Li Shengzhi proudly showed this large pot of wine in front of the soldiers, everyone was surprised and delighted.

"A small sip per person can only be drunk in an hour." Li Shengzhi warned, "This is our reliance to survive this little night, that turtle son dares to be greedy, beware of me cleaning him up!" ”

When the sky showed a trace of fish belly white, Li Shengzhi's pot of liquor was no longer left, although this large pot of wine was ten catties, but it was only one person or two sips when it was distributed to each soldier, but it was with this little wine that they actually survived the night. This is also the equipment of the Dingzhou soldiers, and each soldier is dressed thickly, otherwise it will be difficult to survive even if there is wine.

"Grandma, it's really cold this day, but why aren't these fucking swamps frozen?" Li Shengzhi rubbed his hands and scolded. As long as the swamp is frozen, this land will no longer be a threat to the Dingzhou army, and then the 100,000 army will rumble over, and it will be like now, like a little mouse, secretly hiding here to ambush.

"Captain Li, if you want to freeze, it will take at least half a month at the earliest!" A local soldier in Dingzhou said. Following Li Shengzhi's appearance, he rubbed his hands and feet desperately. Although each soldier was given gloves, his hands were numb and stiff from the cold.

"Captain Li, here, here!" A soldier crawled through the grass with his hands and feet, excitedly speaking.

"It's coming!" Li Shengzhi suddenly became excited, picked up the gloves thrown on the ground, and put them on his hands at once, "How many people?" ”

"Two hundred younger! Captains, all on horseback, are we going to do it? The soldier asked.

"I'm spitting on you, what are we doing here! Isn't it just to clean up these barbarians, curled up here for half a night, and you actually ask me if I can do it! Li Shengzhi scolded: "Are you afraid of two hundred people!" Let's hide here, where did these turtle grandchildren think of it, these days the other battalions have sent cavalry to work hard with them, then they will think that we will do this today, and when they come, a burst of crossbow arrows, first pick up most of them. Then they all rushed up together, cut the damn one, hey, two hundred people, yes, we came on two legs, and when we went back, we all rode horses, and one person carried two heads, and when we walked into the camp, what a beautiful scenery! ”

Li Shengzhi's words made the soldiers around him enthusiastic, "Captain Li is right!" Done! ”

"It's done!"

This group of barbarian cavalry also deserved to be unlucky, for a few days, the skirmishes between the two sides were wolf running army to take advantage, today they came out to patrol, actually did not see the shadow of the Dingzhou soldiers who should have appeared in normal times, and thought that the failure of a few days made the Dingzhou soldiers cold and bold, did not dare to come, the previous vigilant mood suddenly relaxed, and the relatively neat formation that was originally maintained was also loose, never imagined that around them, a group of tigers and wolves like foot soldiers were opening their crossbow machines, quietly aiming at them.

The attack began suddenly, and countless bolts shot out of the grass, so close that they easily pierced the armor of the brute, and the outermost men screamed and dismounted one by one.

The shooting of the crossbow arrows was like a raging storm, and the barbarians who were caught off guard were in a mess under the surprise attack of the Dingzhou soldiers, and the outermost people fell down with men and horses, and hindered the evacuation of the people in the middle, and hundreds of people were squeezed into a small place, desperately wielding their weapons, trying to be crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrows shot by the crossbow bow are not comparable to the strength of ordinary bows and arrows, not to mention that the distance between the two sides is too close, and the short crossbow arrows are almost at the moment when they leave the string, and the instigation just sounded, and they appeared in front of the barbarians.

"Kill!" Li Shengzhi shouted angrily, jumped out of the grass, shook his hand, threw the spear out, pierced a brute in the heart, and the soldiers who followed him jumped out of the grass one by one, held their spears, and rushed forward.

Half an hour later, the encounter was over, Li Shengzhi gasped and sat down on the belly of a horse that had been shot to death, the Kaijia on his body had cracked several holes, and blood was oozing outward, and the soldiers cheered for the captured horses to gather together, another group of people to cut off their heads, and some of them were looking for their comrades who had died in battle.

"How many died?" Li Shengzhi wiped the blood on the saber on the horse's belly, put the knife into the sheath, stood up, and said.

"Captain Li, we are dead more than twenty, and more than twenty are injured!"

"Fuck." Li Shengzhi spat fiercely, "Lao Tzu knows how the friendly army suffered a few days ago, these little wolf cubs are really difficult, and Lao Tzu has killed more than 20 brothers in such a fight!" Pack up the bodies of the brethren and let's go back! ”

More than 100 war horses galloped from the opposite side, immediately aroused the vigilance of the large battalion here, the camp door opened, and a cavalry came up, but immediately found that the opposite side was actually a friendly army, seeing the head of the barbarian soldiers hanging on the horse's neck and carrying it in his hand, the camp was boiling all of a sudden, this is a rare big victory in recent days!

Li Shengzhi arrogantly led his soldiers into the camp, swaggered through the city, until he arrived in front of Wei Xin's big tent, and saw Wei Xin touching his goatee and sneering, and beside him, the aggrieved medical officer was staring at him with hatred, and a cold sweat broke out on his body all of a sudden, he quickly turned over and dismounted, trotted a few steps, and when he arrived in front of Wei Xin, he gave a military salute with a snap, "General Wei, you are ordered to attack and return victorious!" ”

Looking at the heads of the barbarians who were piled up like a hill, Wei Xin smiled and said: "Yes, it's really good, not only do you have so many heads, but you also paid more than 100 war horses back, reward, you want to reward it heavily!" Li Shengzhi was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Looking back, Wei Xin seemed to smile, "The doctor accused you of stealing wine?" Is there such a thing? ”

Li Shengzhi coughed dryly, "This, yes, the main thing is to go out at night, it's too cold, get some wine and let the brothers live alive, otherwise they will freeze at dawn, and they won't be able to work." ”

Wei Xin waved his hand, "Don't say it's useless, you stole it, right!" ”

"Well, it's not stealing!" Li Shengzhi whispered.

"There are military regulations, how should those who steal alcohol be punished?"

Li Shengzhi's face turned white all of a sudden, "General, I, I...... I also stole it to win the war, this wine was not stolen by gluttony, I went to the medical officer to borrow a little, but he didn't do it, so I stole it. ”

Wei Xin said angrily: "Of course I know that you stole it for the sake of fighting, otherwise I will directly tie you up as soon as I see you, and you will not be able to get out of bed for a few days with a big stick!" Why, do you still want to be rewarded? How many sticks do you think I'm going to reward you? ”

Li Shengzhi shook his head again and again, "Don't want it, don't want it!" ”

"You don't have it anymore, but I still want to reward the soldiers under your command!" Wei Xin looked at Li Shengzhi with a look of chagrin and said with a smile. "Well, and General Lu just sent someone to see you, and it seems that he appreciates your battle!"

"General Lu wants to see me?" Li Shengzhi was surprised and delighted, for a person of his level, it was really not easy to meet the main general.
