Chapter 412 Are you really here for reinforcements?
At this time, Li Sheng's camp had been successfully set up, and what Li Sheng considered to be a preliminary defense fortification had been established.
moat!
Spikes!
Minefield!
And a project specifically requested by Li Sheng to put soldiers from the south in charge.
That is to find enough vines in nearby forests and other inaccessible places.
All are woven into circles and spread all around the camp!
This strange fortification caused a lot of complaints from the soldiers, because it looked obviously not as soft as Luzhai... Could this be used as a fortification?
However, Li Sheng was very busy and naturally did not explain to everyone that this thing was the original form of anti-infantry barbed wire...
Not only can it protect against infantry, but it can also act as a tripping rope.
Of course, Luzhai can also play the same role, but it requires a lot of logging, so it is too slow to build.
After the Luzhai is completed, the three thousand strong men in the Pioneer Camp will be exhausted. How will they arrange their lives by then?
So Li Sheng naturally chose the more advanced earth-flavored version of barbed wire. After quickly finishing it, he used his animal and plant illustrations, wild survival... and other skills to go around with three thousand good brothers to get food and firewood.
Half a month later, what made the whole army extremely confused was that the life they lived in this little life was actually more nourishing than their hometown in the Central Plains...
In the Central Plains, meat can only be eaten once during festivals.
Now we have meat to eat every day, and the Holy Commander is researching winter clothes for us, and there is endless firewood for the bonfire... Who can withstand this?
People are almost exhausted...
Finally the camp was completed and the cement kiln was almost ready.
at this time……
The soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion who went out for hunting and reconnaissance finally discovered where Li Jing was stationed.
…
In a village, Li Jing was stationed here.
Although I still found a lot of food from this small village in the northern desert, but...
After all, there are still 50,000 troops here, and supply and communication have been cut off. It has become increasingly dangerous recently.
After some final thought, Li Jing guessed that the Turkic army had moved south, and even though he was out of strength, he would definitely have to turn back and rush for reinforcements.
So in the last few days, I bit the bullet and started marching.
But just a few days after the march began, Li Jing discovered...
The weather is getting colder and colder, and marching is becoming more and more difficult.
A large number of the winter clothes they carried were lost in the ambush, and soldiers began to freeze to death.
At this time, Li Jing was simply in a state of despair.
At this time, he also thought that he overturned this time... First of all, he was still not stable enough.
This is the self-cultivation of General Li Jing. There is no future in passing the blame.
Secondly, there must be an insider who leaked the drawings or finished products of grenades and landmines to the Turks.
Otherwise, where did the Turks get such murderous weapons?
Li Jing simply scolded this traitor ten thousand times in his heart.
However……
It's of no use.
Now that the Turkic army is in full strength and heading south, it is difficult for them to march on their own, but they still have to go back for rescue.
But on this march...
One day, a soldier suddenly came to report, "General, there are people wearing armor and riding horses hunting nearby!"
"Wearing armor?"
Li Jing suddenly frowned.
This is the hinterland of the Turks. I had a wave of reverse thinking and succeeded in breaking out in this direction, but in this case...
Deep in Mobei, how could someone be hunting in armor?
You must know that armor is not cheap, and it is also a prohibited item.
It's not common in the Central Plains, but here...
Could it be that the Turks came back to search for me?
Li Jing couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
He had two guesses about the Turks' movements after the ambush.
First, the Turks took advantage of the situation and went south to attack Chang'an. This was what he was most worried about.
The second is that the Turks looked back to search for themselves.
If so...
A bloodthirsty light appeared in Li Jing's eyes...
Ma De, let me suffer such a big loss, just wait and see if I can fuck you to pieces when you get the chance.
But after thinking about it for a while...
The soldiers who reported the news were stunned for a moment, why didn't the general say anything...
Li Jing fell silent.
Now that I have a large army, it is difficult to march and even survive.
If he really encounters the Turks, will he really be able to fight?
This place in Mobei is too difficult, too difficult...
But Li Jing didn't have time to say anything yet.
Immediately, more soldiers arrived.
There was a lot of noise, but they said they had caught the spy.
"General, we have captured the man!"
After a while, several soldiers came over with a soldier tied up.
Li Jing took a look and saw that this soldier was actually wearing the uniform of the Forbidden Army, and there were traces of armor on him.
This is... very strange.
Are there any imperial troops nearby? Are they the soldiers who were separated from the army before?
Li Jing was about to ask a question when the girl beside him suddenly spoke.
"Ms. sir, be careful."
"Although this man is Han Chinese, he wears the uniform of the Forbidden Army. But after the war, won't the Turks be able to get the uniform?"
Hongfu Nu has always been with Li Jing. She is both Li Jing's wife and his adviser.
Li Jing suddenly woke up when Hong Fu Nu said this.
After another observation, sure enough... something is wrong!
Li Jing narrowed his eyes, looked at the prisoner with a sneer and spoke,
"You are wearing my clothes of the Tang Dynasty, but in this bitter cold land in the north of the Great Wall... why are you so red and radiant?"
"Turkish goat's milk, is it so nourishing? Hum!"
Li Jing quickly discovered this flaw.
That's right, nothing else...
That’s exactly what this person’s “state” is!
Including face, expression, skin color...
No matter how you look at it, this person's recent living situation is extremely comfortable.
First of all, this is definitely not the Forbidden Army sent by Chang'an for reinforcements. The strength of the Forbidden Army in Chang'an is extremely tight at present. It is not enough to defend the city, so they are sent abroad? Impossible.
Then, it might be the defeated soldiers who got lost in the previous battle.
But in this state, how could the army be defeated? Being separated from the main army would make it difficult to survive.
But just when Li Jing was about to call for people to torture this person and ask about the whereabouts of the Turks,
Surprisingly, the other party did it directly...
"General Li Jing, I...I, I, I, I am really a member of the Imperial Guard of the Tang Dynasty, not a spy!"
"No? What evidence do you have?"
Li Jing sneered contemptuously, "The main force of the Tang Dynasty's imperial army is under my command. Is it possible that you came from Chang'an to reinforce me? Tell me, where is the main force of the Turks now? It's agreed, maybe I will keep you here.
One life!"
"General, the main Turkic force has been defeated. I...I am here to support the general!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jing was completely stunned.
What the hell???
Who are you……
We are here for reinforcements...
Are you really here to reinforce yourself?
But aren’t there only 20,000 Imperial Guards left in Chang’an?
The main Turkic force has been defeated? This is simply impossible.
Twenty thousand people defeated an army of 390,000 people. Do you think you have heavenly soldiers and generals?
Li Jing soon lost his patience, "Here, if he doesn't attack, I'll kill him!"
