Chapter 373: Old Duck Soup

Wu Yangu naturally would not retreat for no reason, and the sound of horses' hooves that sounded before belonged to another team.

Three thousand cavalry roared and stopped a hundred feet away.

The leader was a white-robed young general, but he didn't stop, alone, riding a horse and rushing to attack.

After a dozen zhang away, he turned over and dismounted, rolled on the ground, and stopped just when the king left the horse.

Kneeling on one knee, without looking at the person right away, he clasped his fists and said: "Liu Yong, a subordinate general of General Wu, has been ordered to come to help!"

Wang Li nodded and said softly: "Get up, lead the way ahead, I haven't seen this old guy Wu Qien for a long time." ”

"Yes!"

The general who asked Liu Yong to get up and get on his horse, turned around and galloped away, but his face was very excited.

He has not been in the army for a long time, but he has been highly used, although he is grateful to Wu Qien and respects him, but if he wants to say that he admires and respects one person the most in the Liyang army, it is none other than Wang Li.

The title of the god of war is not a braggart.

The barbarians' attack this time was not only aimed at one place in Daliang City, but also used the high mobility of the cavalry to attack more than a dozen passes at the same time with a small number of men and horses.

The Central Plains frontier defense line is too long, although the soldiers are strong and strong, but it is really exhausting to deal with these fast-running cavalry, so after repeated consideration, the reinforcements to Daliang City are only 30,000 for the time being.

Among them, 10,000 heavy cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers, the real strong soldiers of the Northland, can be regarded as a large force.

The leader of the army is called Wu Qien, who carries a treasure knife given by Taizu on his waist all the year round, and is known as the treasure knife general.

Although Wang Li is not very familiar with him, he has a certain understanding of his way of governing the army and his military talent, and his evaluation of him is only eight words.

There is more defense than enough, and there is not enough offense.

It can also be seen that with only 30,000 soldiers and horses, the invincible Wuyangu has suffered some small losses, and he is unwilling to fight with him anymore, which shows his strength in defense.

Through conversations along the way, Wang Li finally determined one thing, they were really late, and Daliang City had fallen three days ago.

The siege was fought all night, and it was very fierce, until dawn, when the city was broken, it is said that the sound of killing could still be heard clearly in the city, and there were still remnants of soldiers in the corners and alleys of the street and the enemy engaged in fierce street battles.

The incident happened suddenly, and it was estimated that it would be able to defend it for another two or three months, and even Daliang City, which had been defending, had fallen, which caught Wu Qien, who came to the aid from outside the city, a little unprepared.

The black-faced tiger in the city also stopped moving, and just disappeared.

Slowly, all the soldiers also knew the news.

These Beijing troops and Jianghu people who rushed from Chang'an, after seeing the fierce and tidal cavalry of the previous enemy, although their ambitions were still undiminished, they also lost their excitement.

After hearing the news, his mood was only heavy, and Mougins found that it seemed that in the past three years, the battle between Li Yang and the Golden Horde had not been won at all.

Wu Qi'en's camp was not far from here, and on a slightly higher slope fifty miles away, a simple camp was built out of wood and stone.

The place is very good, the place is not high or low, the war horse just can't jump up, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the battle is defeated, if you retreat, unless the enemy completely surrounds the back road with several times the strength of your own side, otherwise you will ride a horse and leave, and it is difficult to seal the flat wasteland by manpower alone.

As soon as the army arrived, they were instantly merged and stationed together, and Wang Li immediately entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and talked with the sword general all night, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Li Wenshuo leaned on the huge wooden barrel behind him, which was compressed military rations, and I don't know who invented them, all kinds of grains were crushed and fried in a pot, and when they were eaten, they were soaked in hot water, they tasted good, and they were quite full.

The white star quietly flickered in the sky like a candle that someone had carefully carried away.

One by one, they form a sea of brilliant stars.

Li Wenshuo looked up, counting one by one, a little distracted, and all the scenes left in his mind were the rain of arrows and the smoke and dust caused by the rolling horses' hooves.

"General, come, drink a bowl of hot soup, I didn't expect that there was such a rarity as duck in General Wu's camp, so I specially stewed a pot of duck soup and opened meat for the officers. ”

Song Xiaohu touched it, and handed over a porcelain bowl the size of a human head very flatteringly, not shying away at all.

Li Haowen on the side didn't speak, because he also had a bowl, and he was drinking it with his head down, to be honest, the taste was average, when he was in Chang'an, he drank wine and ate meat on weekdays, and if he dared to serve this kind of dish in the restaurant, he could fight with others.

But at this time, there is not so much attention.

Li Wenshuo took a sip of the hot soup, only to feel that there was a hot breath flowing all over his body, and he suddenly felt a little more comfortable.

"General, those warriors didn't lie to me, you are really a great master. ”

Hearing this, Li Wenshuo smiled lightly and said, "Oh, where did you see it?"

Song Xiaohu smiled and said: "General, I heard that the little one did not change the color of the enemy's arrow rain during the day, a few sword lights flashed, and the end was a relaxed freehand, I didn't see this small one, and I don't know if it was the big head soldier in front of me bragging, but on such a cold day, you just wear a single coat and lean outside to look at the stars, this little one is really convinced." ”

Li Wenshuo shook his head with a smile, didn't answer, drank another big mouthful of hot soup, picked up a duck leg from the bowl, handed the big bowl to Song Xiaohu, and said, "Hurry up and drink it, look at yourself, it's as cold as anything." ”

Song Xiaohu was not polite, took the big bowl and took a big sip, and then handed the bowl back, only to find that there was already a long line of people behind him.

One sip per person, no matter how big the bowl is, it is not enough to drink.

"There's still in the kitchen, go and two or three people bring the pot over. Song Xiaohu shouted.

It is estimated that the march is too tiring, and everyone eats very happily, or rather, they have not eaten so comfortably for a long time.

"General, Daliang City has been breached, I heard that the barbarian army is known as one million, I thought, how can the real number of people be estimated to be 200,000, what should we do, is it true that these tens of thousands of people are defeated by them?"

A tall and thin guy in the crowd got up and said, Li Wenshuo remembered that his surname was Sun, and the monkey punch with one hand was a bit interesting, and it was estimated that if he tempered for a few more years, he might not have the opportunity to enter the Xianfeng realm in the future.

As soon as these words came out, no one spoke, just bowed their heads and drank the soup, obviously agreeing with his statement.

Li Wenshuo laughed, glanced at him, and provoked a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "What's the matter, I'm afraid?"

As soon as these words came out, the man surnamed Sun blushed, and his voice unconsciously rose a little: "Afraid? Lao Tzu has never been afraid of anyone since he was born, if he was afraid, he would not come here!"

Li Wenshuo pressed down with his palm and said, "I know, everyone here is a man who stands up to the sky, and if you dare to come here, naturally no one is timid and afraid." ”

Having said this, the man surnamed Sun also sat down, and everyone looked at the young boy who was dressed in black and leaning on the barrel in front of him.

Now their generals.

"It's just that no one can say that the war is a bad thing, and I'm not General Wang Li, I am like a god, and I don't dare to promise you that I will win, but I think that those soldiers who don't have any martial arts, they are not as good as everyone here, but on the battlefield, they can still fight to the death in front and not take a step back, so what reason do we have not to do it?"

When Li Wenshuo thought of this, he suddenly felt a little hungry, so he reached out and filled half a bowl of soup, scooped up some minced meat in it, and put it in front of him to watch, but he didn't eat it.

seemed to think of something, sneered, and said: "I used to say in the obedient book that when those Jianghu bosses fooled their younger brothers, they would always say that as long as I have a mouthful of meat to eat in the future, there will be no shortage of the soup you drink, what do you say." ”

Li Wenshuo glanced around, and everyone was silent.

He smiled softly and said, "I think it's just fart." ”

Everyone laughed softly

"There is meat for everyone to eat together, there is soup for everyone to drink together, today I did it, it's not a promise, today I can only tell you, I'm just a martial artist, I can't command, I can only do it when I fight with you, go up together, and strive to live to go back alive. ”

Under the starry sky, dozens of old men leaned together, silent without speaking, not sleeping, bowing their heads and drinking a bowl of steaming duck soup.
