Li Chengzhi was overjoyed when Tangqi came to report that there was movement in the farm. It seemed that a large number of rebels had left the camp.
Just blatantly adding some poison to force the enemy out?
In fact, there are not many poisons. When I was mixing medicinal wine and making bandages, I was afraid that the secret recipe would be leaked, so I bought it mixed with the raw materials. It was only a few hundred kilograms, and it was not very pure.
The most important thing is that this stuff is not very soluble in cold water unless heated...
That's why he got so close. His original intention was to scare the enemy: I'm going to poison him!
As for whether it can really poison people, Li Chengzhi doesn't know...
So in order to prevent the enemy from being fooled and still being unable to escape, he also prepared other means: such as setting fire...
Relying on armor, at about twenty paces, the thieves' bows and arrows can't do anything to their own cavalry. They don't seek to kill the enemy, as long as they can shoot rockets into the farm.
With five hundred guns per round, if you shoot three or four rounds, how can you light several carts of grain and grass?
If you are lucky and can burn half of it, how can the thieves defend it?
……
Seeing that the enemy soldiers were really forced out of the farm, Li Shi, Li Xian and others looked at Li Chengzhi with expressions as if they were constipated, baring their teeth and grinning.
They don't know what to say.
Lang Jun is really... so insidious and despicable...
In such a big river, just a few hundred kilograms of poison may be washed away in less than an hour...
But because Lang Jun used it casually like a joke, the enemy army was forced to leave the camp to fight?
Li Chengzhi glared at them: a bunch of hindsight.
Would you dare to bet if you were an enemy general?
Does he know how much poison I have in my hands?
If the soldiers under your command knew that the water they were given to drink was arsenic-laced water, would they be afraid of revolt on the spot?
Li Chengzhi sneered and looked east again, but could see nothing except some smoke and dust.
It's right to think about it. No matter how powerful your eyes are, you can't see that far away. On the contrary, the enemy will never be able to see the situation on your side.
He thought for a while and threw the token to Li Xian: "Go and give the order to Li Liang. After walking three miles, the whole army will get off the vehicle. The armor and soldiers will line up, and the auxiliary troops will be put behind... Remember, don't beat the drums and march at a walk."
……
Order the troops to raise the flag to the north bank. After marching for another three miles, the cavalry will stop marching and seize the time to feed the horses and accumulate horsepower. After the Chinese army is in formation, follow my flag orders..."
"No!" Li Xian responded and rode away. The flag orderer raised a large green flag and waved it left and right a few times.
There is Tangqi between the two rivers, and only a dozen of them were relayed. The military order was sent to the Ru River ten miles north...
Are there really only five or six hundred armored cavalry?
How is that possible!
No matter how stupid Li Chengzhi is, he will not bring only cavalry to fight these 5,000 infantry and cavalry rebels.
Let’s not talk about whether it can be beaten or not. Even if the last one is broken, it will make Li Chengzhi heartache and bleed.
To be cautious, Li Chengzhi also brought along the two brigades of auxiliary troops, all following behind the cavalry.
Along the way, half on foot, half in a carriage, chewing dry food, changing carriages every two moments...
Then why don’t we smoke and dust?
The marching road is right by the river. Li Chengzhi couldn't even think of a way to hide the tracks of the Chinese army by pouring water on the road to suppress the smoke and dust. What kind of troops would he lead and what kind of battle would he fight?
Go back and nurse the baby as soon as possible...
After walking another three miles, when he could vaguely see the enemy soldiers outside the farm, Li Chengzhi got off his horse and asked the flag soldiers to pass orders to the following Chinese army and the cavalry on the north bank.
The cavalrymen dismounted one after another and quickly put bags on their horses.
The war is imminent, and no one can predict how long it will last. Therefore, the war horses must be fully fed before the war, and they must eat quickly and well...
This is one of the reasons why cavalry are expensive and difficult to maintain.
Because horses have rectum, they eat a lot and digest it quickly.
If you only feed him grass, it will take two or three hours for him to be full after a meal, which is not very long-lasting.
Therefore, once a battle begins, in order to save time and prevent the horse from becoming hungry too quickly and lacking endurance, it must be fed grains, beans, and the like.
This is also the main reason why nomads generally choose to invade the south in late autumn or early winter: there are grass seeds to eat along the way, so there is no need to prepare too much horse feed.
The remaining half of the reason is that it is the autumn harvest of Han people's farmland, and there is something to grab...
In addition to eating a lot, horses are also more delicate, not as durable as mules and donkeys, and their strength is far inferior to that of oxen. Apart from speed, they have no practicality, so most farmers don't like to raise them.
This is why various dynasties and generations have issued edicts forcing farmers to raise horses, as well as attaching great importance to the land for raising horses...
Seeing that the enemy's morale was low and they did not dare to fight, Li Chengzhi was full of confidence in this battle, and his adrenaline was soaring...
Afraid of being too excited, Li Chengzhi thought it would be better to divert his attention first.
He pondered for a moment, waved to Li Shi, and said with a sneer: "Come, tell me about the deeds of the Wushi Li family. When Li Song comes back, Lang Jun will ask him properly..." p>
Li Shi walked over with a look of helplessness on his face: Lang Jun still holds a grudge?
Li Chengzhi asked about Li Wenzhong’s uncle and nephew.
After learning from the mouths of the captured enemy cavalry who the enemy general was, and who else was in the upper echelons of the rebel army besides Liu Huiwang, Li Chengzhi knew immediately. This is what Li Song has been thinking about, and it is also what Liu Huiwang said in his rallying slogan.
The "Li" in "Li Shi is a auxiliary"!
At that time, Yin Zhen deliberately changed it to "Li Shi is in the spotlight" in order to bluff Li Song.
This family is a powerful one in Jingzhou, and Li Shi naturally knows a little about it. In terms of family background and military exploits against the Yuan and Wei dynasties, they are really no worse than Li Chengzhi, the Li family...
They claim to be the descendants of Li Ling (the direct grandson of Li Guang, who surrendered to the Huns in the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty). Since Li Ling, their ancestors have been officials in the Huns.
What’s interesting is that the Li family in Longxi, as long as they claim to be Li Xin or descendants of Li Guang, from top to bottom, no matter they are powerful nobles or powerful wealthy households, they will not recognize them:
At most, the grandfathers dare to call themselves descendants of Li Gan (Li Guang's concubine) and Li Cai (Li Guang's younger brother). How about you, who came out of nowhere and dared to call yourself the eldest son's legitimate grandson? p>
What a big face...
But what’s even more interesting is that he really followed Tuoba Xianbei out of the hinterland of the grassland. He was really good at fighting, his surname was indeed Li, and he could indeed speak Chinese...
Li Wenzhong's great-uncle is called Li Fu, who was the son-in-chief of Emperor Taiwu when he conquered Longyou (the governor-general was Emperor Taiwu, and Li Fu was his deputy).
When Emperor Taiwu attacked the Xiongnu in the north of Jingzhou, Li Fu died in Wushi (a county under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, northeast of the city, now the urban area of Qingyang, Gansu Province). All the tribesmen moved from Yecheng to observe filial piety.
Live here.
His son Li Bin inherited the title of General Li Fuping of the West. After helping Emperor Taiwu pacify Longxi, he was appointed as the general of Gaoping. After his death, his branch settled in Gaoping.
Living today is Li Fu's grandson, Li Bin's son Li Wenbao, who serves as a garrison general in Gaoping Town, that is, an army leader (who can lead an army of one thousand).
Li Wenzhong's lineage is a common branch, and he and Li Wenbao have been married for five years, but their family status is not bad, and they call themselves Wushi and Li.
Li Wenzhong's brother Li Wenxiao once served as Jingzhou Biejia (associate officer of the governor). It is rumored that he resigned from his post because he was falsely accused by Hu Wenchang.
Li Chengzhi suspected that it might be for this reason that the Li family of the Wushi family rebelled with Liu Huiwang.
But is it so easy to make?
Li Chengzhi really wanted to take this opportunity to show Li Song and others what would happen if their ambitions were too high...
