Chapter 370: Take It Back
The people in Guanzhong have many bold personalities, their families are rich, and they have some surplus food, and when they see the army, they know that the army is going north to fight, and they have reached out one after another to help.
So along the way, the food that Li Wenshuo took care of not only did not lose a little bit, but in addition to the original consumption of the army, there was a lot more.
There are even some people who want to join when they hear that there is such a thing as a charity camp in the rivers and lakes.
There is no doubt that he was rejected by Li Wenshuo, and this kind of thing in the army is not the more people there are, the better.
Although the army was numerous, it was in critical condition, and it still maintained a daily march distance of eighty miles, and there was not much time left for rest.
Twelve thousand people sat in the field beside the post road, and on both sides of the hibiscus trees, branches and leaves, and in the few gaps, all kinds of grass and flowers grew.
Li Wenshuo sat with a few soldiers very casually, stretched out his chopsticks to scoop up the food in the pot, and after scooping out two pieces of fatty bacon, he nodded with satisfaction and prepared to go to the next table to loot.
provoked the few soldiers who stayed, in addition to resentment, they also felt that this carefree marquis really did not have the slightest temper and was very close.
The march was extremely boring, except that he was tired, although Li Wenshuo's cultivation was difficult and he couldn't feel it, but he could also see the sweat of the other soldiers under the armor.
"General, your bacon. ”
Song Xiaohu is one of the few fireheads sent by the Beida battalion, he is not tall, and he looks energetic.
Seeing Li Wenshuo coming over, he immediately took a bowl of specially reserved bacon and stepped forward and handed it to Li Wenshuo's hand, smiling flatteringly like a dog's leg.
Li Wenshuo was a little surprised, glanced at the young man in front of him playfully, and quietly handed the bacon back, and said: "The daily march is so tiring, you can still laugh, you are not very old, but it seems that you are a veteran." ”
Hearing this, Song Xiaohu patted his chest and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the general, traveling eighty miles a day, for you in armor, it is naturally tiring, but we are much more relaxed." ”
Li Wenshuo nodded, it is normal to be bored, such a large army is enough to slaughter many small countries in the Western Regions, no matter how vicious the bandits and bandits are, they are honestly hiding in their nests at this moment, not daring to show the slightest movement.
He can't wait to be so bored, as long as nothing happens, can it be that this group of big men can still be bored to death?
This group of Jianghu men is indeed bored to death, and on weekdays, a group of people get together to drink and brag, there is nothing to do, but life is also comfortable.
Now not only is there no wine, but I am tired like a dead dog all day, it is autumn, but the sun is as hot as a July fire, which makes people so hot that they don't want to speak, they just want to open their mouths to gasp.
There was a muffled sound next to him, and countless people turned their heads to look, only to see a big man take off his sweat-soaked clothes on his upper body, and slam his fist on a bowl of thick osmanthus trees beside him.
The air was silent for a while, and then countless osmanthus flowers fell like raindrops, and the surrounding cheers were loud, and the sound of going up to pick up petals was endless.
"Steamed osmanthus cakes for everyone tonight!"
Song Xiaohu said this sentence very excitedly, and after getting Li Wenshuo's permission, he also rushed out, and the army passed through, and the three-mile osmanthus forest was completely damaged......
......
September of the third year of the Apocalypse.
Fenghua Prefecture, the head of Daliang City.
Wearing black battle armor, the nine-foot-tall giant man stood at the head of the city under the escort of more than a dozen personal soldiers, looking out through the arrow battlements, his expression was calm and powerful.
The city of Daliang is thick and condescending, and there are blue-black burns everywhere, and some shepherds wearing white sheepskins walk unscrupulously on the battlefield, retrieving the bodies of their companions and insisting on burying them on the grassland.
These shepherds were also soldiers of the enemy, because the steppe cavalry, except for those nobles who were not very many, were basically these shepherds.
This is a perfect opportunity for the enemy to kill hundreds of enemies in an instant with no simple leather armor and no defense, just a few waves of arrows can be thrown over.
And there is no need to worry about the enemy counterattacking at all.
But on the side of Daliang City, it was surprisingly quiet, acquiescing to the enemy's behavior of recovering the corpses of his companions, and even the most ferocious soldiers in usual times were honestly hiding behind the arrow stacks at the moment, wanting to take advantage of this moment to squint their eyes.
On the charred battlefield under the city, in half a month, the siege battle has been fought five times, and there are no less than tens of thousands of casualties on both sides, and there is clotted blood and a pungent smell of sulfur everywhere.
Farther away, there is a large white tent like a sea of clouds, stretched together, stationed on the blue meadow, and the autumn wind blows in a very shocking and beautiful way.
Even the general with a black face looked at it twice: "Dugu, how many people did you say there were." ”
The voice was so soft that it didn't wake even the sleeping soldier a few paces away.
But Dugu Qiu heard it clearly, his eyes swept slightly, and he replied softly: "General Hui, although the enemy claims to be 100,000 iron horsemen, according to his subordinates, it should only be about 50,000. ”
Hearing this, the black-faced general nodded, laughed, and said: "60,000 cavalry, 100,000 foot soldiers, this is just the strength that the other party put on the surface, the funny thing is that for this useless news, I have already lost hundreds of experienced scouts under my hands." ”
"They gave their lives for their country, and they died honorably. ”
"Hehe, who is damned?"
Dugu Qiu was silent.
The black-faced general is the back tiger, his real name is Yang Qing, and he is tall and big, which can be called a tiger's back and bear's waist, and it is extremely black, and his martial arts have also reached the upper realm of Xianfeng.
The most worth mentioning is that he has followed Wang Li for five years, and his military skills also have Wang Li's demeanor.
But no one could have imagined that this backside tiger, known for his ferocity and decisiveness, used to be the Tanhualang of Emperor Wen for seven years, and for some reason, he did not mix in the civil officials, but came to the frontier to lead the army.
"Okay, just kidding. Yang Qing really grinned, patted Dugu Qiu's shoulder beside him, and turned around and walked towards the bottom of the city tower.
Dugu Qiu also hurriedly followed, now that his cultivation has reached the middle realm of Xuanche, he is also extremely good in this army, and now by Yang Qing's side, as a personal soldier, he has nothing to disobey.
One is that he is not here, and the other is that the longer he stays by Yang Qing's side, the more he admires this general who has known him for a long time, and the more he can't see it thoroughly.
Walking down the city wall, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, because he didn't know how long the city wall behind him could last, and he could see that the enemy was prepared and knew Daliang City well.
Fortunately, the city has just experienced the autumn harvest and has hoarded a large amount of grain, and if it is a protracted war, there will be no problem in holding out for a year or two, and there will be no shortage of food and clothing.
As for the water source, he didn't know much about it, but he didn't see any concerns from the general, so he thought it should be fine.
There were a few children running in front of him, still smiling on their faces, they didn't understand anything, they could just have fun.
But the faces of adults are filled with various emotions such as sadness, anger, and regret.
Yang Qing walked in front, did not return to the big city lord's mansion, just walked on the street, aimlessly, walked through the south street, walked through the north alley, and walked through the dark and bloody West Hutong.
Aimless.
The general didn't speak, and Dugu Qiu didn't speak, although he was very confused, but he was very perfect for Huashan to say less and do more.
Or rather, he doesn't like to talk much.
The hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife, and I thought a little about the senior sister who loved rouge on Huashan.
"It's a tough battle. Yang Qing said suddenly.
Dugu Qiu was stunned and didn't know what to say, so he had to hum, and then nodded.
"Can you kill Uyangu?"
Dugu Qiu raised his head suddenly, looked at the general in front of him, and found that the other party had turned around and was looking at him at some point.
He was a little panicked in his heart: "The other party is the eighth strongest person in the martial arts list"
His words were directly interrupted by Yang Qing: "Don't say these useless, I know that you are very powerful, I believe you also know, as long as Wuyan Gu does not die, takes the lead in the charge, and there is still that sneaky sacrifice in the back, we can't win at all." ”
Dugu Qiu bowed his head and was silent.
Yang Qing looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes showed a rare look of love and talent, but Dugu Qiu couldn't see it, and could only hear the cold voice in his ears.
"Can you kill him. ”
The residual sound echoed in the deep alley, frightening a few guys who were begging for a living in the dark, and they didn't know when these two ruthless men who were about to kill people at every turn came in the alley.
"If I can get my sword back, maybe. ”
"Where's the sword?"
"Huashan. ”
"Take it back. ”
