Chapter 6: The First Battle
"I'm starting to regret that I'm flapping my wings blindly, Nima directly fanned the little master in front of Hades to play poker"
A team of hundreds of people was marching on the road from the Acropolis of Tieling to the dangerous mountain.
First of all, there were thirty cavalrymen wearing the standard iron armor of the Ming army and carrying three-eyed firearms, these cavalrymen were always constantly adjusting their posture on their horses, and from time to time they moved the iron armor on their bodies, looking uncomfortable. And these fellows are always vigilantly watching their surroundings, and the reins of the horses are tightened, and they try their best to control the speed of the horses under their crotches, and keep the horses in the best condition at all times, and they look like the kind of horse bandits who are ready to rush up and rob, and flee for their lives, more like officers and soldiers.
In the middle of the team, Li Rusong led nine people, including Cheng Yi, Li Ning, Seng Lingqin, and Han Bianwai, wearing mandarin duck jackets and spears, and neatly followed the marching speed of the horse team in front. Sigh Congee drove a carriage behind them, and the secret weapon prepared by Li Rusong was placed in the carriage.
After Li Rusong's assault training, although Du Kun, Du Fei, Chen Cheng, Li Ning, Cheng Yi, Miao Congee, Han Bianwai, Liu Changchun, Yan Xing, and Seng Lingqin were bitter, it was obvious that their bodies were much stronger, even if they were the weakest in physique, most of the time they were on foot, occasionally riding in a carriage.
His father, Li Chengliang, held his overlord gun made of pure steel, a high-headed black horse in his crotch, and galloped back and forth around the team with three other fierce-looking and athletic cavalrymen with a tense face, searching the surroundings to prevent sneak attacks by horse bandits and Mongols wandering nearby.
Behind the team, there were more than 100 young men armed with spears and knives on foot, all of them were strong and strong, and their faces were full of vigilance.
Under the operation of Li Rusong, his father Li Chengliang successfully inherited the position in advance. But he never expected that when Li Chengliang went to take up his post, he was actually in time for the dangerous mountain general Liu He to be killed by the nearby Jianzhou Jurchen Tartars. At this time, the border pass was facing a large army of barbarians approaching the city, ready to knock on the pass and kill the Central Plains at any time, burn and loot.
Luo Wenzhi, the general soldier of Liaodong, was busy at this time, and there was no reliable person under his command to deal with the Jianzhou Jurchens who were about to move, so the military department patted his head and let this Li Chengliang go! So Li Chengliang not only took office, but also directly became a general in the dangerous mountains like a rocket, responsible for monitoring and dealing with the Jianzhou Jurchens.
According to Li Rusong's estimate, there must be something hidden in this gambler's manipulation. In He Xinyin's eyes, Wang Xue has become an academic alongside Cheng Zhu Lixue, and this pace is best as fast as possible. The bigger the father and son officials, the faster this plan will be implemented, and what other channels for military attachés to be promoted are besides cutting tartars?
"This old gambler is still not at ease with my father and son, the position of the dangerous mountain ginseng general is not only a fragrant bait, but also a powder keg that will blow my father and son to pieces at any time!" The night before leaving home, Li Rusong felt like this.
Fortunately, although He Xinyin, an old gambler, is a bit unauthentic, he is not bad, at least he doesn't want his father and son to die. Li Chengliang did not go to office bare-assed, according to the documents of the imperial court and the rigid requirements of a casual official, Luo Xin, who was full of resentment, pinched his nose and prepared a large number of sophisticated equipment for his father and son.
Originally, Luo Xin thought that his father and son were not familiar with the treasury of the Tieling Acropolis, and planned to secretly make a little stumbling and try to let his father and son die in a dangerous mountain without all equipment.
It's a pity that Luo Xin, Luo Daqi forgot one thing: there are many soldiers under him, who have either done private work with Li Chengliang or have taken benefits from Li Chengliang. There is something in the library of the Tieling Wei Mansion, Li Chengliang knows better than him.
As a result, poor Luo Xin, who was beaten violently by Li Chengliang, who had a personal vendetta in the communiqué, instantly completed the feat of turning a little white face into a pig's head, and was thrown into the pigsty by Li Rusong in a daze, and seven or eight "beautiful as flowers" old sows were "soothing". In a coma, he was still led by his father and son, and moved Tielingwei's "arsenal" to the bottom.
In this way, they fought and robbed, and relied on the golden signboard of the imperial court to open the way, and their father and son finally "received" enough weapons and armor for more than 100 people under their command in a short period of time, as well as 30 good horses, 30 three-eyed firearms, and a small amount of gunpowder.
The military officials who followed Li Chengliang with Tieling to proclaim the decree were obviously entrusted by He Xinyin, and when they left, they took all their families to Guangning, which was the location of the Liaodong General Military Office. It can be said that it is the safest place in Liaodong, and there is He Xinyin's care there, which eliminates everyone's worries, after all, Luo Xin's grandson does not have the courage to confront his father and son head-on, and it is "heroic and good at fighting" to deal with old and weak women and children.
Li Rusong grew so big, the farthest he could go to the barren mountains dozens of miles away from Tieling to hunt with his father. This time, he ran to a dangerous mountain thousands of miles away from Tieling, backed by unreliable North Korean stick allies, to deal with a group of savage, cunning, and bloodthirsty Jianzhou Jurchens. To be honest, Li Rusong was at a loss for a while, he had nothing else except the identity of a traverser, and his only reliance was his father and ten good brothers who took care of each other.
"Cut! Labor and management want to usurp the throne, and kill the little devils, enslave the sticks, and play to the death, how can my brother die? Shaking his head fiercely, and throwing aside the messy thoughts, Li Rusong's gaze gradually became firm, and he walked in stride.
Turning his head and glancing at the carriage driven by the porridge, Li Rusong was even more convinced, although the number of these things is not much, it is more than enough to deal with thousands of Jianzhou Jurchen Tartars.
"Grandma, yes, that group of soldiers is the biggest trouble, Rusong, it seems that our two are in trouble" Just when Li Rusong was pondering how to deal with the Jurchens, Daddy Li Chengliang's angry roar woke him up and looked up in the direction pointed by his father:
On the field not far away, about 50 Ming soldiers wearing tattered mandarin duck battle jackets, iron mesh shoes, and long knives were shouting and trying to catch up with a group of people in front of them - the people of the Ming Dynasty!
There were constantly people crying and falling to the ground, and the soldiers pounced mercilessly, slashing the people to the ground, and holding the finances in the hands of the people.
Soon the group of ruffians spotted the team of their own father and son not far away, and when they saw the cavalry wearing brand new armor and carrying three-eyed firearms, they immediately stopped chasing and killing the people in a panic. When they saw Li Chengliang wearing the armor of a general and his face full of anger, the group of guys suddenly whistled, turned their heads and fled like lost dogs
"Cut! A bunch of garbage, the few dogs on the left side of Rusong belong to you, and one is not allowed to run away" The disdainful spat at the rebels, and Li Chengliang said with a finger of the overlord gun in his hand.
"Don't worry, Daddy! None of these ** can run! As soon as Li Chengliang's words fell, Li Rusong had already roared angrily and led his ten little brothers to kill the ruffians, eleven snow-bright spear heads, shining bloodthirsty in the sun!
There were about eight outlaw ruffians on the left, and suddenly found that they were chasing only eleven children behind them, so they suddenly stopped, glanced at their comrades who were beaten by the cavalry on the other side, and a cruel smile appeared on their faces, and they turned to kill Li Rusong and them.
This group of ruffians has been on the side for a long time, each with a little vision, and the leader of this group of children, who had just talked casually with the general on horseback, seemed very close, and was obviously an important person. There are no horses on his side, and if he can't run far, he will be chased and killed by the cavalry, so it is better to turn back and risk living these children as hostages. In this way, the other party can have a chance to survive.
As for the kidnapping of Shangguan's family, what is the crime? This group of people didn't care for a long time, a place like Liaodong where living a day counts as a day, Wang Fa? It's a piece of broken paper that is too hard to wipe your buttocks, and the sword in your hand is the real king's law!
"Hey! Dare to underestimate us! Brothers shoulder to shoulder, don't live your mouth! Don't embarrass my brother! With a sneer, staring closely at the ruffians rushing towards him, Li Rusong ordered.
As Li Rusong gave the order, the ten hairs began to take Li Rusong as the center, and quickly began to put on an arrow-like formation:
The oldest and most fierce Li Ning and Li Rusong are at the top of the arrow, Liu Changchun and Han Bian are on the left flank, Yan Xing and Du Fei are on the right flank, Chen Cheng and Cheng Yi are in the center, protecting their companions on both wings, and the weakest and powerful monk Gelinqin are holding shields and long knives, located at the rear of the team, and their responsibility is to protect the team from being raided by the enemy behind.
This formation is the result of Li Rusong's hard thinking for many days, similar to the Swiss phalanx in the Western European era, which can maximize the assault ability of the spear and directly break through the enemy's formation, and then the left and right wings on both sides can launch an attack at the moment of breakthrough, greatly destroy the enemy, and make up for the lack of speed.
Chen Cheng and Cheng Yi are sexy and calm, and they are not lacking in carefulness, and they can block the enemy's attacks on their companions as assault arrows and wings when attacking, and protect their companions.
"Made! There is only this bit of ink in the master's stomach, and he can't look at this one! Gritting his teeth and slaughtering towards the ruffian, Li Rusong glared and roared.
The two groups of men and horses, which were less than two hundred meters away, quickly collided together, and Li Rusong and Li Ning had a tacit understanding that when they were less than two meters away from the enemy, they shot at the same time, keeping the flat end of the spear and stabbing at the enemy fiercely.
"Cast!" Just when the two sides were about to collide together, Li Rusong suddenly roared, Cheng Yi and Chen Cheng suddenly threw the spears in their hands towards the ruffian, and then quickly pulled out the long knife on their waists and made a defensive gesture.
"Ahh This move was beyond everyone's expectations, and the ruffians were caught off guard, and the four people who were standing in line were respectively pierced by two spears through the "sugar gourd", and the corpses maintained inertia and rushed for several meters, falling to the ground and dying.
Just when the remaining four ruffians were stunned, Li Rusong and Li Ning's spears arrived, and the sharp spear heads directly pierced the throats of the two ruffians!
Cheng Yi and Chen Cheng had a tacit understanding with the long knives in their hands, and they blocked the two steel knives that slashed at them for Li Rusong and Li Ning, and the four people on the two wings took the opportunity to surround the remaining two ruffians, and the four spears stabbed them from four directions!
An easy victory, eight living people, turned into eight corpses as soon as they fought, and the heavy sound of falling to the ground and the unbelievable eyes of death told people that these eleven children were terrible!
