[Chapter 134: Expand the Arrow Camp and Become a Robber]
The small country of Goguryeo, raised troops to invade, disturbed Eastern Liao, broke the border cities, was unstoppable, broke the cities one after another, burned, killed, plundered, and did all kinds of evil.
People have been displaced, wounded and disabled, and no longer have a chance to live.
For several days, the news of the destruction of the border city continued to come, and the expedited express mail was through Leping's hands, but Leping did not refuse, and all of them were sent back to Jiangdu.
Goguryeo became more and more rampant, and when it tasted the sweetness of the first war, it invaded on a large scale, and in a few days, it broke through two cities one after another.
Leping also frowned slightly, it was not his original wish to hurt innocent people, but even if the war was like this, it was helpless.
Goguryeo became more and more arrogant, but it also ignited the fire in Leping's heart.
Although he desperately wanted to reach Eastern Liao quickly and annihilate Goguryeo in order to shock its might.
But Leping was not dizzy by the flames, and the 200,000 army marched to Jiangdu, but the first destination was not Dongliao, but Liyangcang.
Liyang Cang, one of the four granaries of the Sui Dynasty, is located near the big billet mountain in Liyang County, Weizhou, west of Yongji Canal, east of the Yellow River, Leping's first destination is towards Liyang Cang.
Goguryeo was in turmoil suddenly, and Emperor Yang of Sui did not expect this before, and he was not fully prepared in all aspects.
Not only were the ships never built, but even the food was not delivered.
How dare there be no food in war?
No matter how urgent it was, Leping had to rush to Liyang Cang to replenish military rations.
Liyang Cang is the closest to their route, Guangtong Cang, Huiluocang, and Luoyang Cang are all relatively deviating.
Due to the lack of boats, Leping and Liu Qian had to lead an army of 200,000 to bypass Shanyang and go north along the Tongji Canal.
The grain must be replenished, and there is not much grain left over from Jiangdu, and if it is not replenished, I am afraid that there will be little left before the soldiers of Liaodong arrive.
The non-stop rush has made the soldiers complain again and again, and even more, some soldiers have begun to run away, and Leping has no mercy for the escapees.
Even if it is because the soldiers are close to their hometowns, homesickness prompts, but the army has the discipline of the army, deserters, there is only one word, kill!
Leping can't tolerate any soldier, once he opens one eye, closes one eye, and lets him escape, then it will inevitably cause a big disaster, and he can't open this opening.
If the soldier runs away, he will inevitably be captured, and if he catches the result, he will definitely be killed!
Even after a few days, Leping couldn't help but feel a little sleepy, not far from the intersection of Tongji District and Yongji Canal, according to this look, but two days, you can see Liyang Cang.
"Le Xu, Le Zhan, Lotte, Le Xuan, Le Jun, Le Yun, Le Hong, you seven people come forward~!"
As soon as Le Ping gave the order, Le Xu and the others stepped forward in an instant.
After leaving the south, Leping was too lazy to hide anymore, these people were all his apprentices, and they were nothing else, even if Yuwenshu urgently informed Emperor Yang of Sui, Leping had nothing to do.
The seven people were all wearing silver armor, with Leping's golden dragon pattern, each of them was silver, and behind them was a bright red cloak, standing in front of Leping, the momentum was not enough.
Each of them was armed with a tailor-made weapon, and Wai Le Xu, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, stood in front of Le Ping, complementing him.
The other six people are also heavy weapons, and the momentum of the seven people is to provoke the surrounding soldiers to wait and see for a while, which is worthy of Leping's apprentice.
"One person for every five miles of the seven of you, thoroughly and strictly investigated, and found that a soldier had escaped, no need to report, just cut them off! If any of the soldiers escape, but you don't find it, I will ask you and deal with it by military law! But remember, you have to take care of each other and don't get into trouble. ”
Leping ordered.
Each of the seven replied, and they immediately rode their horses forward and backward.
Leping gave Wuxin a look to Wuxin, who had arrived at his side, nodded slightly, and drove away casually.
Leping looked at Wuxin's back, but he breathed a sigh of relief, he was reluctant to let his seven good apprentices have problems, so he sent Wuxin to take care of it secretly, if there is Wuxin, Leping will rest assured, after all, these soldiers, compared to Wuxin, are still too far behind.
After checking the ranks of the soldiers on one side, Leping couldn't help but roll his eyes.
200,000 soldiers, 180,000 infantry!
7,000 archers, 6,000 light cavalry, guards, and grain soldiers, the sum of which was 5,000 thousand, and the heavy cavalry was pitiful, only 2,000 horsemen.
Leping couldn't help but roll his eyes, this Emperor Yang of Sui is really picky.
In this cold weapon battle, the strongest is the heavy cavalry, and the advantage of the heavy cavalry directly determines which way the scales of victory are leaning.
But with only 2,000 heavy cavalry, how can they confront others head-on?
There are only 7,000 archers, 10 arrows per person, Leping seems to have seen the defeat of the battle, the strongest heavy cavalry and archers are in absolute weakness, and the infantry is extremely weak at times, and they can't carry the opposite charge at all, how to fight?
Leping doesn't want to see his own dead and wounded**, so he destroys others, and this cane is too boring, not to mention, his strategy of delaying the army, the most important thing is the source of soldiers, if he is exhausted, there will be no hope for the future.
"Looks like we'll have to figure out a way."
Le Ping secretly said in his heart, when the military rations were replenished in Liyang Cang, he would start to prepare in a big way, this type of army was too lacking, and if the war started like this, it would be too difficult to fight.
If it is a frontal attack, with 5,000 infantry as children, if there can be 10,000 heavy cavalry from both sides, it is not impossible to destroy tens of thousands.
But the heavy cavalry was too expensive, and even if they were prepared, they would not be able to gather that many in a short period of time.
Leping sighed slightly in his heart, and at this time, he had no choice but to retreat and beg for this.
Set up camp at night.
Leping came to Liu Qian's tent after night.
"Le'er, why are you here? You haven't rested in the past few days, and you haven't rested when you see that you are already in a trance, so why do you have to come at night? ”
As soon as Liu Qian saw Leping walk in, he couldn't help but worry and walked forward.
Leping smiled slightly, signaled that there was nothing to do, and then glanced at Liu Yang who was standing on the side and disguised as a male soldier, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Uncle Liu, why is Yang Er here?"
"Oh, hehe."
Liu Qian laughed and said casually. "She's bored in the tent, so she'll come to my side, but Le'er, this is a mess, you bring all these girls, nothing will happen."
Leping smiled.
"Naturally not."
Although the girls came in disguise, Leping specially set up a tent for them, several girls lived with Gao's, Wuxin, Le Xu, Xiaochunzi, and Wuji's tents were next to them, and Leping also specially set up his tent next to them, and they were easy to take care of.
Leping also deliberately instructed Wuxin before, he must pay attention to the safety of several women, after all, this is a military camp, and they are all male soldiers, so as not to cause anything to happen.
There was an unintentional sentry, and the vicinity of the women's tent almost became a vacuum, and no soldier dared to walk in at all, and the soldiers had doubts at first, but when they saw Leping walking out of the inside, with a pleasant face, they knew that the person in it might be this young adult apprentice or something, and they didn't bother anymore, and they didn't think about it from the perspective of the female surname, if they thought of it, there would be a problem.
"I blame you, now our sisters have to do everything in the tent, and they don't even dare to light candles at night."
Liu Yang complained on the side, and the appearance of pouting and pouting was also a temptation.
Leping laughed, naturally knew what she said, but this was helpless, there was a difference between men and women, if other male soldiers found out that they were squatting in the toilet or something, there would definitely be a problem. Not allowing the lights to be lit is just to protect them, after all, the body of the female surname is too uneven, and it is even more obvious under the candlelight, so it can't be lit.
"Okay, you go out first, Le'er must be in a hurry when he comes so late."
Liu Qian said with a smile, and let his soldiers take Liu Yang down.
"Le'er, what the hell is going on?"
There was no one else in the tent, and Liu Qian was right.
Leping smiled slightly, and approached Liu Qian.
"I want to expand the bow battalion!"
"Expand the bow battalion?" Liu Qian was slightly stunned, he naturally knew that there were too few archers in the army now, which was a big disadvantage, but this expansion was not so easy, how to expand it?
looked at Leping in confusion, and saw that Leping was smiling wickedly at this time.
"Even if there are not many archers, just enough arrows, as long as there are enough bows and arrows, the sky is full of arrows, and you can't control the enemy? As for the arrows, let's be a robber and extort money from the soldiers of various places......"
