I’m The King Chapter 1182: : Carry forward the past and open up the future (72) Persistence
It came swiftly like the wind, but when it returned, it squirmed like a snail on the ground. The long line stretched across the snow for several miles, and the carts were full of various things. The supplies, ranging from food to cloth, Changqiaoji in Huining County and the eight villages below were looted as if they had encountered locusts. Popular novels, the soldiers lined up on both sides, and the civilians who were kidnapped by them were in the middle. These civilians carried or carried them. Those were their property, but now they have become the spoils of the Western Zhao army. Compared with the loss of these properties, What the people are more afraid of is that they don't know where their own fate is. Looking at the smiling Xizhao army, the resentment in their eyes is extremely strong. If the bandits are hateful, they just rob property, but these Xizhao troops are comparable to Bandits are even more hateful, not only for money, but also for people.
Guo Fu was riding on the horse, and the pride in his heart was beyond expression. This time the action was completely proposed and organized by him, from the collection of intelligence = pig = pig = island = novel ww.zhuzh to the final Attacking, now he has reaped a lot of money, not only solved the urgent needs of his troops, but also benefited the entire army, and his status in the eyes of the general will be further improved because of this battle.
Yes, Guo Fu thinks this is a war. Even if their opponents are just some unarmed civilians. Looking at his soldiers, Guo Fu was beaming.
His soldiers looked more like county clowns now, strictly speaking. A whistle chief walking beside Guo Fu was wrapped in a bright red sheet, carried a spear on his shoulders, and carried a few chickens and ducks with their feet tied up, with a cloth bag tied around his neck. There were actually some big pancakes inside, most likely he fished them out of some commoner's pot, at this moment, after walking for a while, he took out some big pancakes from the cloth bag, took a few mouthfuls, and his face was full of satisfaction.
Looking further away, almost all of the one or two thousand soldiers were like this, covered with looted bits and pieces.
From time to time, some people fell down in the team. Immediately, the soldiers shouted and cursed, and the spears in their hands mercilessly hit the backs and legs of the fallen people, and they shouted angrily at them to stand up and move on. Even if it was only an old man or a woman who fell, Guo Fu ignored all of these. In his view, these are the people under the rule of the enemy, so they are also the enemy.
When you come. It only took him most of the night to lead these more than two thousand soldiers, but now, they have passed a full half day, but they have only traveled less than half of the way. Read the full text of the latest chapter, but Guo Fu is not in a hurry, because Hui Ning's garrison originally only had 5,000 people, and General Li Mingjun knocked out 1,000 of them last night, and the General's 2,000 cavalry were behind him. In the battle, he was not afraid of Hui Ning's enemies chasing him. If Zhou Zilong really came here recklessly, he would only become the soul of the great general's sword. Thinking about it, the general would never refuse such a military exploit.
As for whether this action will lead to a full-scale war between the two countries, Guo Fucai didn't bother to think about it. The bandits are not as good, how can they manage so many? Even if the superiors blamed him, there would be someone tall enough to bear it. Isn't there a general? He is Zhao Shoufu's favorite general, what else can he do?
Lift the skin around you. He happily took a sip of the wine, and a wave of warmth rose from his dantian and spread all over his body in an instant. This was copied from a villager's house yesterday. The villager seems to have a very good family background, and there is actually fine wine produced by the Wu family in Han Dynasty. Grandma's, Wu's wine is good, but it is also expensive. How long has it been since I drank it? A dignified general. It's not as good as an ordinary commoner on the other side. This day is really impossible.
"General Guo, let everyone rest for a while!" A tooth general rushed over and told.
"How far have you traveled, are you going to rest? Are those ordinary people disobedient?" Guo Fuhu raised his face, "Slap their whips, and if they are dishonest, just kill a few chickens and show them to the monkeys."
Ya Jiang said with a smile on his face: "General Guo, it's not that those mud-legged people are disobedient, it's that many brothers really can't walk anymore."
Guo Fu's face was even colder: "Aren't they as strong as these mud legs?"
"No, General Guo, the brothers used to be very hungry, but now they have something to eat. Many brothers really ate a little too much. Everyone has a broken stomach. Among the subordinate troops, there are quite a few who are rolling on the ground with abdominal pain. It seems that if it is not possible, I think it is better for the brothers to rest and digest, otherwise, there will only be More people have such symptoms."
Hearing this reason, Guo Fu's expression should be as bright as it is: "A bunch of bastards, I only heard that some starved to death, but I have never seen one who starved to death."
That being said, the army is his own capital, so Guo Fu reluctantly issued an order, "Rest here, just as we are waiting for the general, the general should catch up."
Li Mingjun snatched more supplies and food from Changqiaoji, but his retreat was not as smooth as Guo Fu's. First, when he was in the town, a dozen soldiers disappeared with their horses for no apparent reason. Then on the way to retreat, the enemy reinforcements from Huining finally arrived.
This is Zhou Zilong's headquarters, about 3,000 people. After joining the 1,000 garrison in Oak Bay, nearly 4,000 people followed him at a distance, neither advancing to attack nor retreating. , followed them like this.
Li Mingjun once tried to defeat this army, but Zhou Zilong, who commanded it, was extremely cunning, and the formation of the army was kept extremely tight. Once he found that Li Mingjun had the intention of attacking, he immediately assembled into a square formation, the most hateful Yes, in this army, there is actually the latest weapon of the Han army, the magic machine crossbow. This kind of weapon can shoot hundreds of crossbow arrows and has a range of hundreds of steps. It is a huge threat to the rushing cavalry. After attacking once and losing more than a dozen cavalry, Li Mingjun gave up this plan, because Zhou Zilong actually gathered about two hundred cavalry in addition to this infantry phalanx, and he had just started attacking his infantry phalanx. , This guy's two hundred cavalry appeared from the flanks, attacked his convoy, and fired rockets at the convoy from a distance, with an obvious intention to burn these materials.
This is the life-threatening material that Li Mingjun wants to use to get his army through this winter. Naturally, it cannot be lost. Running without a trace, Zhou Zilong's pawns became active at this time, and the phalanx was slowly approaching together.
The two sides were in a stalemate like this. Li Mingjun's cavalry had an absolute advantage in maneuvering, but they had to worry about the supplies on the huge convoy and did not dare to stay away, but Zhou Zilong couldn't take the initiative to attack as many as two thousand cavalry. The human cavalry, one in front of the other, separated by a distance of several miles, moved slowly in the direction of Pinggu.
Li Mingjun saw his opponent follow him relentlessly, but he sneered a few times and ignored him. He would clean up these lifeless things after he joined Guo Fu's thousands of soldiers. If he hadn't grabbed enough things now, he would really want to knock on Hui Ning. Zhou Zilong pulled out the whole team. If you fight against Huining, you won't be able to keep the looted things, and it's not a good idea to use cavalry to attack even a city that is not defended by regular troops.
But after seeing the situation of Guo Fu's troops, Li Mingjun's previous plan seemed to be poured from the head to the soles of his feet with a scoop of cold water. Can he still fight in this state? Yesterday was full of energy, and the team that braved the wind and snow is now lying or sitting on the snow one by one, how bloated and bloated their bodies are, and how dirty they want to be.
At one side, a dozen soldiers were waving whips to force some young men to dig a pit. Looking at the corpses of a dozen soldiers placed beside the pit, Li Mingjun's face darkened.
"What's going on here?" He looked at Guo Fu running in front of him and asked with a sullen face.
Guo Fu was also a little ashamed, "Grand General, these few people who failed to live up to expectations actually made themselves exhausted. They ate too much and kept rushing on their way. They just died in vain."
Listening to Guo Fu's explanation, Li Mingjun really didn't know whether to laugh or to suffer. There were really people who were living and dying, but this also reflected another serious reality from one aspect. How unbearable the situation is, if it is not usually hungry, how could such a situation happen.
Guo Fu's gaze was attracted by the long convoy that arrived with Li Mingjun, "It's still the general who has vision and courage. If you don't play the Long Bridge Collection, how can you have such a big harvest?"
"There is still a suspender ghost following behind~IndoMTL.com~Zhou Zilong is a fledgling man, and after suffering such a big loss, he followed up reluctantly. If he hadn't wanted to transport these materials back To solve the urgent need of the troops, I really want to go back and knock him out, and then go to fight Hui Ning. This reckless thing has pulled all Hui Ning's team out, and I am not afraid that Hui Ning will be eaten by me. "
"Zhou Zilong is the army of Eastern Zhao, and the county magistrate of Huining is an official of the Han Dynasty. The two are not in harmony. He can do things on his own. General, do you want me to teach him a lesson? Junior, I'm afraid you don't even know how to fight a battle."
"You soldiers, can you still fight now?" Li Mingjun looked at Guo Fu's subordinates, his face was ugly, "Let them get up, let's go, we can't stop for too long, if it gets dark, I don't know There will be some changes. Zhou Zilong is probably waiting for the dark, and the power of our cavalry will be greatly reduced by then."
"Yes, General." Guo Fu nodded, "It's not too far from our Pinggu here, even at our current speed, we can get there in an hour at most, I don't believe Zhou Zilong dares to follow Go to Pinggu."
"Send someone back to inform the other troops to come out to meet them. If Zhou Zilong really dares to follow, I don't mind eating him." Li Mingjun looked back at the misty wind and snow, and said coldly. (To be continued.)
