Chapter 69: The Bird Flies (2)
The remnants of the setting sun were peacefully sprinkled on the cottage houses, which were like a layer of red silk, bewitching and gorgeous, but Liu Zongmin, who was accustomed to fighting everywhere, felt that those houses were more like a layer of blood and very fresh blood.
Feeling the beauty of the village in the sunset, feeling the gentleness and peace, Liu Zongmin suddenly had a lingering throbbing in his heart, he thought about it seriously, but he didn't know where the root of this throbbing was.
The tired birds who had just returned from the mountains were dancing with Liu Zongmin's small group of cavalry. Shouldn't they, who go out early and return late every day, lie quietly in the treetops of the forest like the sun, moon and stars at this moment? There should be some tired birds who will work tirelessly to nurture their offspring...... Liu Zongmin rode on a galloping horse, his eyes looked at the frost-stained forest on the opposite bank, and suddenly he shivered in his heart......
The mountains and forests in the distance have gradually turned inky, but the tired birds are flying!
In this time forest, shouldn't the birds return to their nests, and the flocks of people in the distance cannot let the tired birds return to their nests.
Liu Zongmin's personal soldiers on the left and right understood the crisis from their own general's gestures, and everyone gathered around Liu Zongmin one after another, but they did not look around nervously, but continued to hug him and gallop towards the distance of the mountain road.
Just after Liu Zongmin noticed the half-burnt incense of the bird, Li Zicheng also stepped on his mount, he said goodbye to his wife Gao, and was about to take people to care about his nephew Li Guo and his son Li Shuangxi, and at this time, the sneak attack launched by the official army broke out.
Although there is only a one-word difference between a sneak attack and a sneak attack, the effect is a thousand miles away.
The moment he found that the 'bird was flying in surprise', Liu Zongmin secretly ordered a small colonel to make a detour to Pegasus to inform the generals on the military field of the school, and he himself led his own soldiers to continue to gallop into the distance as if nothing happened......
The intruders who got the letter, they threw away the dishes and chopsticks in their hands as soon as possible, and some of them still had a piece of meat in their mouths, and they picked up their knives and got on their horses while tearing and scolding.
Liu Xiyao and Li Qiang are both battle-hardened generals, they are not young but have rich combat experience, after getting the summons of the chief post Liu Ye, the two of them did not panic, but immediately ordered someone to sound the gong to warn, and the sudden sound of the gong immediately reminded the old camp in the village, "There are officials and soldiers stealing the camp here!"
Liu Xiyao shouted to Li Qiang, "Brother Qiang, you send someone to inform King Chuang, and lead the people of the old camp to hurry up the mountain!"
Li Qiang said "um", he himself got on the horse, and shouted to the other few other soldiers of King Chuang: "You few, hurry back to the old camp to give orders!"
Li Qiang grabbed a small school who was about to gallop on horseback, "You go and inform people to go to the village, and you have to prepare more equipment to guard the village!"
Liu Xiyao himself stayed on the military field of the school, he held the order flag in his hand and shouted: "Stand in line!"
More than 300 people on the military field of the school were assembled in a very short time, and under the leadership of their respective team officers, they lined up behind Liu Xiyao's horse.
The hurriedly assembled Chuang army also felt Liu Xiyao's calmness, so everyone did not panic, they were used to hearing the golden drum advance and retreat, especially not long ago, the ruthless kick of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, personally taught everyone a vivid lesson, and at this time, the unforgettable stimulation still remained in their hearts.
Most of these people are the generals and captains of the battalions, and those who can stand here at this moment are almost the diehards who broke into the camp, and they are staring at Liu Xiyao who is holding the order flag with their eyes, and everyone's expression is fierce and firm.
When the generals and colonels saw Liu Xiyao waving the order flag in his hand, and then swinging it backwards twice, the generals who led their own teams formed a horizontal line in accordance with Liu Xiyao's general order, and then they were divided into two rows; the officers restrained their own cavalry to retreat, and the whole army retreated together except for Liu Xiyao and a few generals who were standing still on the school military field, and immediately gave up more than half of the school military field, which was not very large.
The afterglow of the setting sun was completely hidden behind the mountain, and the night wind was tighter, mixed with the cold wind of snow particles, whipping like a whip on the clothes and armor worn by these intruders in the school military field, and no one in the solemn team like a mountain made a sound.
The three hundred people, just like Li Chixin said, "are one person with the same heart," immediately looked intently at the distant forest behind Liu Xiyao, the general of the Tiger Camp; in the mountains and forests, at this moment, a large number of officers and soldiers were constantly coming out, and night had fallen, and the faces of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side could not be seen clearly, but from their banners, they could distinguish that it was Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry, and there were also the men and horses of He Renlong, the old opponent who broke into the camp.
In the midst of the assembled formation, three drums and trumpets suddenly sounded, and the formation of the 300 cavalry on the school field changed again; among them, the generals who were good at shooting took out three sharp arrows from the quiver on their backs and stood ten paces in front of the formation, quietly watching the officers and brigades that were getting closer and closer.
Liu Xiyao, who was at the forefront of the whole army, nodded to Li Qiang beside him, "Brother Qiang, it's up to you!"
The latter pulled out a ringing arrow from the quiver, and the person behind him took out a fire fold and lit the ignition on the Mingdi, and with a terrible roar, the burning Mingdi fell not far from the other end of the river valley, and the intruding archers behind Tianming took five steps forward one after another, each with a sharp arrow, and made a move towards the burning Mingdi.
Just when the officers and soldiers were also paying attention to the Ming Di in the distance, no one paid attention to Li Qiang, he had already led a dozen people to secretly dismount, and these people hurried a few steps and threw themselves into the snowdrifts in the river valley.
The three hundred soldiers on the military field of the school, they didn't know that the arrangement of Liu Xiyao and Li Qiang at this time was derived from Li Chixin's original war chess deduction, and the current countermeasures were determined through repeated discussions with Li Zicheng.
Night had already fallen, the snow was not heavy, but the night wind was even stronger, and the strong wind that came in front of them made the eyes of the officers and soldiers walking towards them widen their eyes.
The people here can already hear the shouts of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, and the generals in the officers and soldiers are shouting loudly, "All be prepared, not a single thief is allowed to escape, General Wu will order that all will be killed!"
At this time, they were ready to encircle and annihilate the frightened cavalry in the open field, and even some generals in the official army asserted that Li Zicheng, the leader of the thieves, would definitely be captured in this sneak attack.
