Hu Baozong was not afraid that Li Chengzhi would trick him, he was just curious, what would Li Chengzhi do?
If you say there is an inside job, you won’t believe it even if you beat him to death.
Everyone on the left and right had to obey Li Chengzhi's orders. Hu Baozong did not dare to say anything, so he could only respond with a smile: "What are your orders?"
Li Chengzhi came over with a smile: "You are like this...like this..."
……
As dusk approaches, the wind has become much lighter, but the heavy snow comes with it, flying and rustling. In a short time, the sky and the earth become a vast expanse of white.
It rained for nearly an hour, then turned into rain and snow again, a steady patter, mixed with cold wind, which went straight into people's necks.
After finally waiting for the rain and snow to stop, the wind picked up again, blowing the corners of the walls and the rafters, and howling like ghosts.
In such weather, the thieves would not even be able to expose their heads, let alone defending the city.
Li Chengzhi was overjoyed and immediately ordered Li Song to organize his army and set off at any time. At the same time, he sent Li Shi to lead Tangqi to explore the road while there was still some light.
Guo Cunxin was very puzzled: "The rainy ground is so slippery that even the horse can't stand firmly. Why don't we wait until the sky clears before we fight?"
Unlike Hu Baozong, he could be fooled if he could, and if he couldn't be fooled, he could be scolded. Li Chengzhi had no choice but to explain with a smile:
"After tonight, no matter how late the rebels are, they will know that the enemy is approaching the city. How can they be ten times more careful? It will be even more difficult to fight by then, so it is better to attack them unprepared, and maybe they can win in a single battle..." p>
Hearing what he said so lightly, Guo Cunxin frowned even more: "But you don't even have a few cloud chariots. How are you going to attack the city when you get to it?"
"Don't worry, uncle, how could I have taken the wrong aim? Li Shi has already discovered that the city wall at the north corner of the west gate is in disrepair. Not only is it short, but there are cracks several inches wide in the corners... As long as one or two light-bodied people are sent to climb the city wall
, put on the rope, more than a hundred horses worked together, and the pull was pulled down..."
Li Chengzhi is really not lying. Not to mention Anwu County, even Jingyang City and Jingzhou City, such damaged wall sections can be seen everywhere.
The difficult thing is how to climb the wall silently without being discovered by the defenders.
If there were no explosives, Li Chengzhi would definitely use similar methods to breach the city.
Guo Cunxin thought for a while and felt that in this kind of weather, with the military discipline and morale of the rebel soldiers, it was not very possible to hold on to the city. Li Chengzhi's plan was very feasible, so he did not persuade him.
I just told Li Chengzhi to be careful in everything and not to take risks lightly...
Li Chengzhi responded with his mouth, but he was laughing at himself in his heart: If I don’t do it this time, when can I do it?
Even from the perspective of confidentiality, he had to go in person.
As long as it's not bad luck, the risk shouldn't be big...
For fear of leaking his whereabouts, Li Chengzhi did not even dare to let the supply camp use fireworks. He only asked each battalion to boil pots of water in a covered room and let the soldiers eat dry food.
When a message came from Li Shi saying that the road had been found, Li Chengzhi immediately ordered the army to dispatch.
It was already nightfall, and the night was so dark that you could barely see your fingers. The lantern hung in front of the horse's head had a candle flame as weak as a small bean sprout, and could only illuminate a radius of one foot.
If Li Chengzhi had not had the foresight to send Li Shi to explore the road in advance and leave Tangqi to support him along the way, let alone fighting at this time, he would not even be able to tell the location of Anwucheng.
Li Chengzhi couldn't help but sneer when he thought of those scenes in romance novels where he burned the midnight oil and fought at night.
In ancient wars, the most feared thing was night fighting. If one mistake was made, it would turn into a melee, where the enemy could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Soldiers may kill many times more comrades than they kill enemies. Therefore, who wins and who loses can only depend on God’s will.
It has nothing to do with night blindness.
As long as it is not a year of great disaster and famine, the ancients will not have no food to eat.
The ancients not only had food to eat, but also a lot of thieves.
There are cabbages, radishes, leeks, eggplants, cucumbers, wax gourds, celery, alfalfa, onions, ginger, garlic, etc. There are also dozens of vegetables that Li Chengzhi doesn’t recognize, but they are not unpalatable.
And I saw it in the middle of winter.
The ancients not only dried vegetables, but also pickled pickles, which were specially used to eat in winter to save food.
But some of the ingredients were too weird, such as frogs, and some even used voles. The mouse claws were poking into the dishes. Li Chengzhi said that he had learned a lot.
As for bibimbap with fermented black beans and the like, you can see it everywhere. Li Chengzhi tried it and found that, except that it was not spicy, the taste was comparable to that produced in Pixian County...
Including herders.
If you use your brain a little bit, you won't say that the nomads lack vitamins.
Although the herdsmen have no food to eat, they have milk to drink...
Li Chengzhi leaned in the carriage, thinking about something he had and didn't have, and fell asleep without realizing it.
After being woken up by Li Song, it was already two hours later.
It's a distance of 12 to 3 kilometers, a full four hours' walk, and that's assuming all the soldiers are riding in the car.
This shows how difficult it is to walk on rainy and snowy days.
Li Chengzhi rubbed his eyes, opened the curtains and took a look outside.
The rain and snow have stopped, but the wind is still strong, making the carriage whine.
The lanterns in front of each car have been extinguished long ago, and the outside of the car is no brighter than the inside.
Looking further into the distance, you can faintly see a few lights on Anwu City.
The strong wind was still blowing, and the lanterns were swaying violently.
"Where is this?" Li Chengzhi asked in a low voice.
"It's about three miles east of Anwucheng!" Li Shi replied respectfully.
Li Chengzhi immediately felt happy.
Hey, you’ve made great progress, you actually know how to choose a place with leeward direction?
If Li Chengzhi wanted to attack at night, in order to avoid making too much noise when the army was marching and alerting the enemy, he would naturally march against the wind.
"Not bad!"
After praising him, Li Chengzhi asked again: "Where is Hu Baozong?"
Li Song replied: "According to Lang Jun's order, Captain Hu had led two thousand soldiers on foot to one mile northwest of the city wall a moment ago, waiting for Lang Jun's order..."
An order?
It should be a thunderclap.
Now it’s up to you.
It's a pity that God doesn't give me any help, nor does he say how many thunders he will make?
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Li Chengzhi fumbled to get out of the car, fearing that he would fall, so Li Song hurriedly took a step forward, preparing to hold him up.
"Langjun, be careful..."
Li Shi whispered a reminder, then took out a fire seal, put it to his mouth and blew it.
Afraid that he would have enough money to exchange money and be seen by the thieves on the city wall, he carefully lifted up his leather robe to cover it.
Seeing the flames so close to him, Li Chengzhi was shocked out of his wits and kicked him out: "Who told you to get angry? Get away from me..."
Li Shi fell three or four meters away with a somersault, screaming in pain as he fell.
The fire seal in my hand fell into the snow and was immediately extinguished.
Li Chengzhi broke into a cold sweat and was shaking with fear.
If you fucking want to harm me, you might as well stab me with a knife, at least you can leave a whole body...
The carriage behind him was filled with hundreds of kilograms of explosives...
