Chapter 45 Ways to Respond
"Godfather, they're leaving." Li Hong roared hurriedly, "What should I do? β
"If you force your mouth to sew it up for you, what about the war, what are you worried about?" Li Qing slashed down the enemy with one sword, "Keep rushing!" β
"Puff... When ......! The sound of the handover of soldiers continued, and the fighting continued, Li Hong woke up and threw himself into battle again.
However, this time he seemed to run out of luck, and the enemy who attacked him was not as unbearable as before, and even had a knife that almost cut his throat, thanks to the timely intervention of his godfather, who helped him resolve the crisis.
Whew~ It's dangerous...... Li Hong was frightened into a cold sweat, glad that his psychology had just grown, but his face suddenly changed.
'Whoosh! β
A thumb-thick eagle arrow shot out, straight to his eyebrows, before the arrow arrived, the strong wind rushed to his face, Li Hong didn't have time to react, and he couldn't react.
At this moment, he only knew that he was going to die, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Sister Wanqing.
The arrow was reflected in his pupils, infinitely magnified......
It's dark...
"Wake up, this is the battlefield!"
Li Hong opened his eyes blankly, but saw that what was in front of him was not an arrow, but a big hand, and what the big hand was holding was the carved arrow that wanted to kill him.
"You've disappointed me so much." Li Qing was a little angry, "On the battlefield, what are you thinking?" β
Li Hong felt aggrieved, he felt that he was going to die, but now he didn't have time to explain, so he had to hurriedly say: "I'm sorry." β
Then, wield a broadsword and continue to charge.
Li Qing saw that although his physical strength was not good, he had already entered the good situation, so he also divided more energy to kill the enemy, and when the horse slasher was waved, the sound of breaking the air was non-stop.
But whenever an enemy encounters, he will either be injured or killed, so he is not domineering.
Li Hong didn't dare to be distracted anymore, and even didn't have time to marvel, he threw himself into the battle and rushed to kill all the way with his godfather.
β¦
A quarter of an hour later, the enemy retreated in an orderly manner and released arrows to prevent the Ming from pursuing.
Li Qing also did not order a pursuit, but ordered to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties.
The number of the Ming army was not more than others, and after the fierce battle, both the soldiers and the horses were almost exhausted, and it was night, so it was too unwise to pursue.
If you really want to force the other party, someone will come to a ruined boat, which is enough for the Ming army to drink a pot.
Li Hong was unwilling, but after calming down, he realized why his godfather didn't chase him, and the conditions were indeed not supported.
At this time, Zhu Yong, who was covered in blood, strode over, and when he saw that it was Li Qing, he was shocked and even more ecstatic.
What rank is Yongqinghou, naturally he will not rob him of this credit, and he can be seen by Yongqinghou in his performance, so he will ......
He quickly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists, and said, "The last general, Zhu Yong, see the big handsome!" β
"General Zhu, please get up." Li Qing helped him up and said with concern: "There is an injury." β
Although he doesn't know the whole picture, Li Qing can also deduce that he is not far from ten, and in this encounter, Zhu Yong's performance can be described as extremely eye-catching.
Zhu Yong grinned: "Lord Lao is worried, the last general only suffered a little flesh wound, so it doesn't matter." β
"That's good." Li Qing bowed his head, "What about the casualties?" β
"The end will be counted, estimated... No more than three hundred, but the enemy suffered more casualties. Zhu Yong said confidently.
Looking at Li Qing, who was covered in blood, Zhu Yong was shocked: How many people do you have to kill to make yourself look like a bloody person?
He asked himself that he had killed enough, no less than fifteen, but it was far less than Li Qing.
Li Qing's battle armor was soaked in blood, and until this time, blood was still dripping down, which showed his bravery.
Zhu Yong surrendered his hand convincingly, and exclaimed: "Hou Ye is really not less than back then, his courage is afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty, and no one can be out of the right hand of Hou Ye." β
After Zhu Yong said this, Li Hong realized it later.
He followed his godfather all the way to kill, how many godfathers killed, he couldn't be clearer, and conservatively estimated that there were no less than fifty people.
It's also too ...... Fierce, right? γ
What's even more evil is that the godfather is like a person who has nothing to do, as if the fierce battle is just a warm-up, and the whole person is light and light.
The cow that the godfather bragged about in the past resurfaced, and Li Hong was a little shaken, perhaps... The godfather didn't brag, everything was real.
Li Qing said: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, hurry up and count the casualties, evacuate here, and hope that the enemy army will come back." β
"Yes." Zhu Yong hurriedly bowed his hand and hurriedly went.
"Godfather...... Handsome. Li Hong couldn't hold back his curiosity, "How many can you kill if you let go of your hands and feet?" β
He was faintly aware that the enemies he killed were deliberately put in by his godfather to let him practice, and in this battle, the godfather did not show his true strength.
Li Qing glanced at him and said: "On the battlefield, personal bravery is not of great use, a brilliant general is not a personal bravery, but leading his subordinates to victory." β
"The handsome man is a lesson." Li Hong nodded, he wanted to explain the gaffe on the battlefield just now, but Li Qing didn't give him a chance, and walked straight to the side and sat down.
"Aren't you a soldier of Fu Ningbo now? Go, do your part. β
Li Hong sighed secretly and arched his hand: "Yes!" β
~
Two quarters of an hour later, the battlefield was counted.
The Ming army lost 207 people and nearly 500 wounded, and the enemy suffered even greater casualties, but now it is close to midnight, and the cold is so bad that it is too late to count, but the number of dead alone is not less than the number of casualties of the Ming army.
This battle can be regarded as a big victory.
The two cavalry teams gathered together and advanced towards the road they had come, and on the fifth watch, they rushed to the sheltered area where Zhu Yong had used to rest.
After the fierce battle and the hurry, the soldiers who had not rested were extremely tired, and many of them chewed the jerky in their mouths and fell asleep.
The snoring shook the sky......
β¦
Li Qing didn't sleep, he put his hands behind his head, lay on the dirt slope, admired the bright starry sky, and looked for the brightest stars in the night sky......
After the night, the soldiers were well rested and most of their condition recovered, but fortunately, the enemy did not attack.
The supplies have been exhausted, and there are no longer reconnaissance conditions, Li Qing decisively ordered: "Return to the camp!" β
There was nothing to do all the way, and in the middle of noon, I met the 5,000 Ming troops who rushed to support, and after a short rest and some food, the group rushed back again.
After returning to the base camp, they learned that there was really a grassland tribe to attack, but they didn't take anything, and after making a fuss, they didn't stop when they saw that they didn't have a chance, and immediately left.
In the handsome camp.
Li Qing summoned the generals of the Ming army and the leaders of the tribe to propose a way to deal with this situation.
First of all, the reconnaissance mission was divided into three, with the Ming army accounting for two and each tribe accounting for one;
But you only need to draw a map within a radius of 100 miles, and you don't need to deal with it, if the situation is not right, you can immediately return to warn.
Secondly, the winter materials will be distributed in advance, and whoever will guard their things.
Li Qing did this to let everyone participate in resisting the plunder, not only the Ming army could bear the burden, but the tribe could sit back and enjoy the success.
Things are distributed in advance, and the tribes are naturally willing, and they don't want to ask for supplies once in two days, looking at people's faces, although they have taken a certain risk, but they are confident in holding the winter materials, because ...... They are poor, afraid.
In the end, according to the distribution of the population, Li Qing asked them to gather a certain amount of armament to resist the enemy who might attack;
When one side is in trouble, all sides support, and everyone helps each other.
Li Qing's decision-making was very fair, the tribes did not suffer, the Ming army also lightened the burden, and the meeting ended in harmony.
More than 100,000 people are stationed here, and the target is too big to hide at all, so they simply play the cards directly.
I'm right here, fight or not, you have the final say, provided that you can guarantee that in the hands of so many of us, you can pry away the food?
After arranging these, Li Qing asked his godson to continue to follow Zhu Yong, to count and bury those Ming soldiers who died in battle, and let him continue to be Zhu Yong's personal soldier, so he didn't care about him anymore.
The danger is basically gone, there is no need to take too much care, it must always be made to endure some hardships and some hardships.
Three days later, the cave was fully completed, and everyone lived in the cave, eliminating the risk of frostbite and even freezing to death in the severe winter.
The big guys don't have to crowd into tents, especially the tribesmen, who can live with their families, and their faces are full of joy.
Admittedly, living in a cave is not comfortable, but at least you don't have to be cold, and the food is not good, so you don't have to go hungry.
With so many people gathered together, and 50,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to worry about being looted.
Having a place to live, something to eat, and no need to be afraid, such a day is already good for the tribes.
In fact... They also just want to live, including those who come to plunder.
In this day and age, many people have spent all their energy just to live.
Li Qing doesn't like war, so he wants to promote the integration of inside and outside the Guan, but this is destined to take a long time......
~
The days passed day by day, during which the enemy came to attack from time to time, but under the resistance of the Ming army and various tribes, the enemy returned in vain.
After more than a month, no one came. gΓ²ΠΉΠͺ.ΕΞg
Peaceful life always passes quickly, and the New Year is in the blink of an eye......
In the second year of Chenghua, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Shuai Battalion.
Li Qing and Shi Heng sat opposite each other, Zhu Yong played sideways, the pot was steaming, the soup was surging, the meat slices were undulating, and the tempting aroma filled the nasal cavity.
Li Hong had a bitter face, stood far away at the mouth of the tent, and swallowed vigorously.
But Li Qing didn't speak, he didn't dare to step forward, in this handsome camp, whether it was seniority or official position, there was no reason for him to be on the table.
Zhu Yong looked back and said with a smile: "Yongqinghou, there are so many dishes, we can't finish them, it's better to... Let Xiao Li come over for a bite to eat? β
"I eat a lot." Li Qing didn't care, and reached out to get the wine jug.
Zhu Yong hurriedly grabbed it, poured him a cup, then poured another cup for Shi Heng, and finally it was his turn.
Pouring the wine, he raised his glass and said: "Humble and respectful of the Marquis of Yongqing, respect to the Marquis of Wuqing." β
Zhu Yong was excited, he knew the meaning behind the two bigwigs calling him to drink.
Whether it is officialdom or the military, they all talk about seniority.
The only person who can drink with Hou Ye can only be Hou Ye, not a person in a circle, even if he wants to, he can also blend in.
Zhu Yong knew that his promotion to Funinghou was almost a certainty......
