Da Wei Chun

Chapter 221
Fifteen thousand officers and soldiers had already assembled on the south wing of the camp, ready to fight.

With a military order, a battalion of soldiers entered the battlefield.

Daxi handed over the right wing to Li Chengzhi. In addition to the two battalions of Baijia auxiliary soldiers, Daxi sent him three battalions of officers and soldiers.

Li Chengzhi has nothing to do.

A bunch of clubs, he wouldn't be able to use them anyway...

He was about to lead the auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands to the right wing when Li Rui sneaked up and said, "Lang Jun..."

As soon as he saw Li Rui, Li Chengzhi was furious, and opened his mouth to scold: "Are you a dry food? Xi Kangsheng has already entered the camp, and I didn't even hear the wind?"

After Li Shi left, in addition to the personal guards, Li Rui was also in charge of the remaining scouts and Tangqi.Xi Kangsheng popped up as if he had fallen from the sky. If Li Chengzhi didn't scold him, who would he scold?

Looking at the face that was swollen like a horse's butt, Li Rui looked aggrieved: Sir, are you a little unreasonable?
You were beaten to death by Dudu Li at that time, how can I repay you?
Seeing that Li Chengzhi seemed to be aware of it, his eyes gouged him like a knife, Li Rui quickly lowered his head:
"I found it earlier... They came from the southeast about half an hour ago, and there were only a hundred riders... They first went to the city, and then they went to the front of the formation, and met Captain Hu... About two quarters ago I just entered the camp..."

At that time, I seemed to be being beaten...

Li Chengzhi couldn't help but his face burned, and asked nervously: "What about the west side, is there anything unusual?"

"No!" Li Rui replied resolutely, "Huangfu Rang's personal guards have just come to report, if there is any abnormality, it has been discovered long ago..."

Seeing Li Chengzhi's worried face, Li Rui's heart suddenly understood, and he replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, the sixth uncle and the eldest brother (Li Liang) are here, if there is any eventuality, I will report it soon..."

It means that Xi Kangsheng must not have found out, otherwise if they were really intercepted, with Li Song and Li Liang's temperament, how could it be possible that they didn't know how to meet the man and let him escape first?
That's right, apart from Li Feng and Huangfu Rang's cavalry intercepting Liu Huiwang on both sides of the northwest, Li Song will definitely send rangers to explore the back road.If there is any abnormality, report it early...

"Huh..." Li Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, he fell to the ground like a sharp sword hanging in his heart.

Calculating the time, Li Song had left for over an hour, and the 34 soldiers were either riding horses or riding cars, no matter how slow they were, they would have traveled [-] miles away.

As long as Xi Kangsheng doesn't send his fast horses to the west on a whim, the possibility of being discovered is very small.

By dawn at the latest, these four thousand soldiers will be able to escape into Longshan...

And if you can give yourself a few years to develop insignificantly, then you will need money and money, and soldiers and soldiers, then it will really be "live and rich, and the sky will let the birds fly"...

In an instant, Li Chengzhi felt a rush of pride. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have laughed wildly...

After taking a few breaths, Li Chengzhi regained his composure, and even wanted to show some color to those generals who had just laughed at him: "Go... let's see how those clubs will be frightened!" ..."

"wooden club?"

Not knowing what the word meant, Li Rui muttered something, and then asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lang, what about Liu Huiwang? Huangfu Rang's personal guards are still waiting for their orders in Yingbei..."

"If you have to chase after, what else can you do?"

Subconsciously replied half a sentence, Li Chengzhi's pupils shrank suddenly: No... At this time, why are you still chasing Liu Huiwang?

Xi Kangsheng is here, and it is more likely that tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops will follow behind. If the cavalry is not allowed to escape, they will really be unable to escape...

In such a comparison, what kind of fart is Liu Huiwang?

On the other hand, even if Liu Huiwang was freed, who would dare to say that the first contribution to "pacifying Jingzhou" was not Li Chengzhi's or Baijiaying's?
At most, Hu Baozong's credit will be less, but it is completely fine to guarantee him a second credit, to ensure that he has no credit or fault with Longdong County Governor Hu Duo...

In just an instant, Li Chengzhi made a decision, and said in a low voice: "Let Li Feng and Huangfu Rang go quickly... Well, if there is no major change, don't send Lingqi to report, and let them go farther away ..."

This is in case Daxi will send cavalry to the west to chase and defeat the enemy after winning this battle...

"understand!"

Li Rui responded in a low voice, "What about Liu Huiwang?"

Li Chengzhi opened his mouth and scolded: "Are you deaf? Why do you care about Liu Huiwang at this time..."

Hmm... I said it so clearly, not to mention Li Rui, even Li Xian has already reacted...

He stared blankly at Li Rui: "Caught...Liu Huiwang?"

"Ang!" Li Rui nodded instinctively.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Li Rui: "..."

I didn't even open my mouth, and I was scolded by you...

He lowered his head obediently: "I made a mistake!"

Li Chengzhi reacted immediately, feeling embarrassed.

Today is really a ghost, IQ has dropped so much?

If he knew that Li Yun and Zhang Jingzhi were admiring him, he probably wouldn't think so...

Don't look at Li Yun being so calm, it's because he has been immersed in officialdom for nearly forty years, and he has already developed an "iron face".No matter how panicked my heart is, it won't show on my face...

How old is Li Chengzhi?

Seeing that Xi Kangsheng was not paralyzed by fright when he suddenly appeared, they were already amazed that he knew how to salute...

Li Chengzhi's eyes lit up.

He thought that if the Hu cavalry general calmed down a bit, with only one thousand white cavalry, even if he put on a desperate posture, it would be impossible to force two thousand Hu cavalry to split up or abandon Liu Huiwang so early.

Even if the troops are divided, it will be midnight...

But how much time had passed since it was dark, and Liu Huiwang was caught?

Why do you feel so relaxed?

Li Chengzhi's eyes rolled quickly, and he gave an order in a low voice: "Go and bring Liu Huiwang back yourself, remember not to say anything... Also, you brought back one of Huangfu Rang's subordinates, I want to ask about the process..."

"No!" Li Rui responded in a low voice.

Not to mention Li Rui, he can guess what Langjun wanted to ask: He just wanted to set Liu Huiwang's words, and see if there are any loopholes left by the Baijia Camp from the enemy's point of view...

Seeing Li Rui gallop away, Li Chengzhi changed his mind and led his troops to the north of the battlefield.

This is the big right wing he needs to stick to tonight.

If the officers and soldiers win, naturally there is nothing wrong with him, the most they can do is to intercept and defeat the enemy.

If the officers and soldiers can't resist or are defeated, Li Chengzhi needs to dispatch the auxiliary barracks to replace the officers and soldiers...

But with only [-] auxiliary soldiers, how to replace them so that more than [-] officers and soldiers collapsed on the way back is indeed a problem.

Daxi didn't mention it, probably because he didn't even think about it, so he unnaturally threw the problem to Li Chengzhi...

Li Chengzhi listened to the shouts and howls from the Chinese army, and looked at the terrain on the right wing by the light of the fire.

This is actually the northern half of the wall that was rebuilt after the battle where Li Wenxiao sent [-] rebel elites to Li Chengzhi as a meeting gift, and the rebels retreated a mile.

On the westernmost side is a sinking ditch, although it is only three or four feet deep, it is more than ten feet wide.

But because the southern section has been filled, there is no more flowing water, so the water in the trench is less than two feet.

To the east of the trench is a row of rejecting horses, and behind the rejecting horses is the wall, which is basically intact. If two thousand auxiliary soldiers only defend but not attack, they can handle it.

But the question is, if the officers and soldiers collapse, how will Li Chengzhi defend?
Xi Kangsheng's sneer seems to be still lingering in his ears: If you win this battle well, I will let the past go, if you dare to play tricks... Hehehe...

Thinking of the meaningful look in Xi Kangsheng's eyes when he said this sentence, as if he had already understood everything, Li Chengzhi became a little suspicious.

You must be deceiving yourself, right?

But regardless of this section, Li Chengzhi would not be so ignorant that he would not work hard: this is the credit of the Baijiaying, why should he hand it over to others?
Thinking in his heart, Li Chengzhi summoned Song Lishen: "Find a high ground near the sinking ditch, and first set up a pile of firewood... Remember, the pile of firewood must be big enough, and it must be bright enough when it burns...

Afterwards, order the auxiliary soldiers to set up the trenches according to the ditch... and let the [-] civilians dig the trenches according to the formation... It doesn't need to be deep, two feet is enough, and after digging, the remaining water in the ditch can be drawn in..."

Song Lishen took the order to leave, and Li Chengzhi called a dozen more guards.

"Go and send orders to the officers and soldiers of the third battalion to follow the civilian husbands to dig ditches... If they don't obey, let them go to Daxi to return to their orders, and say that I, Li Chengzhi, don't need soldiers who disobey orders... If you still don't leave? Hehehe ..."

Li Chengzhi sneered: "Then call me: Once the formation is formed, everyone outside the trench will be enemies, and those who dare to advance half a step will kill Wuhe..."

If Li Song, Li Liang and the others were present, they would be able to guess without looking at Li Chengzhi's expression that Mr. Lang is plotting to harm someone again...

The personal guard was suspicious, but he dared not ask, and a dozen riders galloped northward.

Not long after, at most twenty feet away, the shouts of more than a dozen personal guards sounded: "Anyone who dares to approach the battle for half a step will be killed without mercy..."

Li Chengzhi had thought of it a long time ago.

When he was beaten, those generals looked at him with as much contempt as they wanted, fearing that they mocked him to the core.

These three officers who don't know whether they are school lieutenants or capital lieutenants are among them...

Although Daxi repeatedly emphasized to the three generals that they should obey their orders, Li Chengzhi reckoned that if it was a normal military order, these few might listen to it, but what if they were asked to follow the civilian husband to dig ditches?

Well, if it were me, I would definitely scold my mother...

Like to dig or not, anyway, it is not your own soldiers who die.What's more, the ugly words have already been said before, once the battle is fought, these officers and soldiers really dare to rush to the battle, and kill as many as they come...

Li Chengzhi snorted twice, urging the auxiliary soldiers to set up the formation as soon as possible, and let the white armor battalion, which looked like a single seedling, quickly place arrows in the formation...

……

The gate of the village is still the gate of the village, and the command platform is still the same command platform, but the person giving orders has changed several times like a revolving lantern.

Xi Kangsheng stood with his hands behind his back, not at all intending to ask Li Yun to blame: Why didn't he stick to Longshan according to the military order, but ran to the city of Jingzhou instead?
Not without asking, not when.One after another, the military reports were passed to the audience, making people dazzled and unable to catch up...

"Report...report to the guard, General Daxi ordered the Fourth Battalion to take the initiative to attack and stop the rebellion to the east of Hu Xiaowei's formation..."

"Report... the fire wall is gradually extinguished, and the counterattack of the rebels is getting stronger..."

"It was reported that the fourth battalion of the former army lost nearly half, and General Daxi ordered the second battalion to press in and make up for it..."

Hearing this, the left and rear generals who accompanied Xi Kangsheng, as well as a bunch of staff members who joined the army and recorded affairs, all looked shocked.

How long has it been since Xi Kangsheng sent Daxi to attack?

In just two moments at most, nearly half of the [-] officers and soldiers were lost, and Da Xi had to send two battalions to support...

But why did Hu Baozong only lead [-] plays before, and he was able to support two and two quarters?

Well, it is estimated that the fire wall was burning at that time, and the rebels couldn't rush out even if they wanted to...

Seeing the expressions of these people, Xi Kangsheng sighed sadly: "Arrogant soldiers must be defeated..."

A battle of Zhongli lost more than [-] imperial elites, yet these bastards have not learned their lesson?

If you want to keep being coquettish, you probably won't be far from the second Zhongli's defeat...

He shook his head, and asked Ling Bing again: "What is Li Chengzhi doing?"

"Reporting to guard, Li Duwei is standing up..."

Even the orderly thought it was weird when he thought about it: "But for some reason, they dug a trench outside the formation and diverted water..."

Dig a trench and draw water?
A group of generals looked at each other in blank dismay: Is this clearly a posture to stick to?

But Xi Zhenshou wanted him to fight this battle well. What does Li Chengzhi mean by shrinking back if he doesn't take the initiative to attack?
Xi Kangsheng asked again: "What formation are you setting?"

"It looks like a phalanx, but the center of the formation is empty..."

This is the hollow formation mentioned by Zhang Jingzhi and Yang Shu many times, right?
It's a pity that it's at night, otherwise we must see it...

Xi Kangsheng nodded slightly, and asked again: "How many soldiers did Li Chengzhi use for this formation?"

The soldiers replied in a respectful voice: "It was the [-] auxiliary soldiers that Li Duwei said, and the other [-] civilians were sent back to the camp by Li Duwei after they dug the trench..."

"Only two thousand auxiliary soldiers?" Xi Kangsheng frowned, "Where is the three battalions that Daxi sent him?"

Seeing Xi Kangsheng's eyes like knives, how dare the soldiers lie: "Li Duwei ordered them to dig trenches with the civilian husbands, and none of the three battalions obeyed... Li Duwei ordered them to go back to General Daxi's tent to listen to the order. Don't move...at last...at last..."

Ling Bing gritted his teeth fiercely: "In the end Li Duwei ordered his soldiers to warn him that if the battle starts, anyone who dares to approach the battle will be killed without mercy..."

"Hahaha...wow..."

Xi Kangsheng looked at Li Yun and laughed wildly, "You soldiers of the third battalion obviously think that Li Chengzhi is not majestic enough, so you took the initiative to stretch your neck under Li Chengzhi's knife to help him gain power?"

Li Yun's face turned pale.

The military order is like a mountain!

Resisting the order because you don’t want to dig trenches with the civilian husbands is still reasonable, but Li Chengzhi told you to go out, just be sensible and go away.

Instead, continue to resist the order?

It's hard to say whether Li Chengzhi dared to kill, but looking at Xi Zhenshou, it is clear that he has already moved to kill...

Li Yun clenched her fists fiercely: "Guardian..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he uttered two words, he was interrupted by Xi Kangsheng waving his hand: "Uncle Yuan wants to ask for a fight? Hehehe, I don't believe it. You didn't guess why it was your trilogy that was going to fight, but I sent Daxi as the commander." intention?"

Li Yun's heart skipped a beat.

How could he fail to guess?
Xi Kangsheng clearly had doubts about him, so he made a surprise attack.The reason why I separated myself from Li Chengzhi afterwards was because I was afraid of collusion...

Even knowing that even if the officers and soldiers win, the loss will definitely be not small, but Xi Kangsheng still focuses on the officers and soldiers, with the Baijia battalion as the supplement, but he does not distinguish between Daxi and Li Chengzhi. Li Yun has already understood the intention.

It's nothing more than the prestige of the Baijia camp. If Li Chengzhi led a group of civilians to win even this last battle, where would the court's face be put?
Li Yun even guessed why Xi Kangsheng asked Li Chengzhi to call himself a subordinate.

Li Chengzhi can be majestic, but Baijiaying cannot be majestic...

To put it another way, the only one who can show his prestige can only be General Li Chengzhi, who was appointed by the imperial court and belonged to the Jingzhou camp of officers and soldiers, not the so-called Baijia camp...

But these three battalion commanders turned a deaf ear to Li Chengzhi's military orders?

Isn't this rushing to send his neck to Xi Kangsheng's knife?

Just as she was hating herself, Li Yun heard Xi Kang's long sigh again: "Sure enough, you are still no match? Well, if you try again, it will only increase the casualties... Order Li Chengzhi to take the fight in a moment... and order Da Xi , ordered him to be controlled by Li Chengzhi..."

As he said that, he turned his head back and looked at Li Yun with a smile: "Can Uncle Yuan guess that at this time Li Chengzhi is clearly holding on to the formation, then how will he turn around in this short moment?" Defense as offense?"

Li Yun really couldn't figure it out... If he hadn't seen that Xi Kangsheng had cherished Li Chengzhi's talent, and added the sentence "Let Daxi return to Li Chengzhi's restraint", he would almost have thought that Xi Kangsheng deliberately wanted Li Chengzhi Chengzhi sent to die...

Seeing Li Yun groaning silently, Xi Kangsheng shifted his gaze to Zhang Jingzhi again.

Zhang Jingzhi secretly sighed: Li Chengzhi is really in his pocket, and it is impossible for him to succeed...

Xi Kangsheng clearly knew enough about Li Chengzhi that he dared to let him lead the more than 1 officers and soldiers...

I must have never understood it this way before, probably after meeting Hu Baozong, I forced him to ask some questions...

Suspicious in his heart, Zhang Jingzhi bowed slightly: "Reporting to guard, Li Chengzhi's reputation of being good at fighting is actually all due to guarding..."

Everyone was confused.

Since the rise of the army, which battle did Li Chengzhi not take the initiative to attack and press hard at every step?
Why did it become "Shou" again?
This is because these people do not understand the specific battle situation at all...

Zhang Jingzhi was not wrong: Before dark, Xi Kangsheng was still thinking hard. Li Chengzhi's repeated vicious battles had almost wiped out the rebels, but why are the battle ratios of each battle so weird?
After asking Hu Baozong, I found out: Li Chengzhi's every battle is to replace offense with defense, and wait for work with ease, without exception...

Xi Kangsheng nodded slightly: "Hehe, let's wait and see..."

……

Half an hour ago!
"Li Duwei, please stick to the right wing. If the Chinese army loses, please lend a helping hand..."

Seeing Daxi's politeness, the generals nearly dropped their eyeballs.

Ridiculous, so ridiculous...

Not to mention the disparity in status between the two, let's say there are fifteen thousand officers and soldiers, but what about Li Chengzhi?
Only four or five thousand people...

As long as the brain is not broken, anyone can see who is strong and who is weak, right?
But as if he had seen a ghost, Li Chengzhi's confidence was not ordinary, and he agreed without hesitation, as if he thought that the officers and soldiers should be defeated, but Li Chengzhi would definitely win if it was him...

This can no longer be described with the word "crazy".

But as soon as the battle started, these generals knew why Li Chengzhi believed that the officers and soldiers would be defeated.

These rebels, using the "beast" analogy, are not enough to describe their madness.

It was simply a group of monsters: their bodies were still on fire, each one of them looked like fireballs, but they still roared and rushed towards the formation.

There are even quite a few, dropping meat while running...

Which of these generals does not think that he is experienced in many battles, but when has he seen such a crazy enemy?
Even the chief officer was terrified, let alone ordinary soldiers?
If it weren't for Daxi's reputation as a forerunner, he would have set up a supervising team behind the formation before sending out troops, and the formation would have collapsed long ago.

But even so, after only a moment of fighting, the formation became a little unstable.

It's not that they can't fight, but that the soldiers have been frightened and their morale has been lost, and they have lost all fighting spirit.

It was fine for the enemy who rushed forward to be covered in flames, but he was clearly pierced by the tip of the spear, but he still screamed and rushed forward with all his strength.

Some were stabbed to the vitals and died on the spot, but some were able to break the barrel of the spear with their last breath after being pierced through the body by the spear gun, and continued to pounce upwards.

Others let the gun barrel slide in their bodies, struggling forward bit by bit.

The soldiers in the front row either had their guns broken, or they were ignited after being stained with human oil, or they were mobsters who were still rushing upwards with painful eyeballs on their guns...

After a while, when a platoon of spearmen is sent up, guns will be thrown all over the place, and another platoon will be sent, and another platoon will be thrown.

The swords of the supervising team following behind have all been cut...

Not to mention that these are ordinary soldiers, even if they are as big-hearted as Li Xian, the first time they were scared, they almost peed their pants...

There is no way to fight this battle!

A group of generals were numb and trembling from the shock, wishing they could kneel down and call for Grandpa to let Daxi call Li Chengzhi here as soon as possible.

In fact, as soon as he joined the battle, Daxi regretted it.

If he had known earlier, he should have handed over the military power to Li Chengzhi at the first time, and stood by himself as a sounding board.

Well, it was for the sake of face, but I didn't want to lose all the hair left in the end...

Just as he was annoyed, thinking that it was time to call Li Chengzhi to fight, he suddenly heard an urgent report from behind the formation: "There is an order to guard the Baijia battalion, and Daxi and other battalions are ordered to be restrained by Li Duwei. ..."

Daxi was ecstatic: Congfu is so understanding!
Li Chengzhi, this is not my begging, but a military order...
