The west wind is strong, and the geese in the sky are calling the frost and morning moon!
The felt tent swayed violently in the wind, making a rumbling sound, as if it was thundering.
The cold air poured into the tent along the felt seams, and Li Zun couldn't help but shiver.
While he was sleeping in a daze, Zhang Jingzhi sent someone to call him, saying that he would set off as soon as possible to catch up with Wu Zhi.
If you have to run hundreds of miles again, your bones will be broken apart by the force?
This is what happens when the superior officer opens his mouth and the inferior officer runs and breaks his legs!
Li Zun sighed, shook his groggy head, took the silk towel handed by his subordinate and wiped his face.
I don’t know whether it was because he was in a bad mood or because Hu Baozong’s wine was too good. He didn’t drink much last night, but he got drunk so early?
It’s also strange that you actually dreamed of Li Chengzhi?
I dreamed that he made a special trip to visit me. He said uncle on the left and junior on the right. His attitude was very respectful, and he toasted me with several glasses of wine...
If only I were so respectful.
Look at him standing in the hall yesterday, majestic and majestic. His trusted subordinates will behead him at any time. His posture is even more powerful than that of Zhang Sima and Yang Juncheng.
Is this really a youthful success?
As an elder, I can't argue with him, but what about Zhao Ping and Zhao?
Next time I see Li Huaide, I must remind you...
With random thoughts swirling in his mind, Li Zun wiped his face and glanced at the side of the couch inadvertently, discovering two coarse porcelain jars placed there.
The drink I had with Hu Baozong last night was just like this. It was spicy and strong. After one sip, my throat felt like it was on fire, but it was so sweet that I couldn't stop eating it.
This is what men drink...
"Where did it come from?" he asked casually.
The attendant gave him a strange look: "Isn't it General, you asked Li Langjun for it?"
Li Zun frowned: "When did I ask for it... No, when did I see Li Chengzhi?"
The look on the attendant's face was even weirder: Could it be that he was drunk and lost his memory?
Recalling the aroma of the wine, the follower couldn't help but lick his lips and help Li Zun recall: "Not only have we met, the general also hit it off with Li Langjun, and they had a great conversation... While drinking, the general also said:
If it weren't for the difference in seniority, I would have become sworn friends with Colonel Hu and Li Langjun..."
"Bastard...how is it possible...cough...cough..." Li Zun was startled and spat a mouthful of saliva onto his face.
The attendant wiped his face and looked at him resentfully: "At that time, there was not a young person serving outside the tent..."
It means I have witnesses...
In just an instant, Li Zun's face turned red with shame, and he groaned in pain.
I was so embarrassed that I was thrown into my grandma’s house...it turned out to be not a dream at all?
Seeing that he really couldn't remember, he reminded him in a low voice: "Li Langjun came last night and mentioned that because Zhao Yuan rushed into the formation, he almost killed him in front of the formation, so he had a grudge with the Zhao family...
…”
Li Zun's face froze.
He finally remembered...
When I followed Hu Baozong into the tent, the first thing I heard was this. Only then did I realize that I had almost been tricked by Zhao Shen.
I even scolded Zhao Shen at that time, saying that this thief died unjustly...
Afterwards, Hu Baozong also told himself about what happened after Li Chengzhi launched his army...
As he thought about it, Li Zun's expression changed.
Is it possible that those are all true?
Are you kidding me?
He laughed again and shook his head.
I was so drunk that I even believed the flattery I heard after drinking.
If he is so powerful, how can Duke Xi leave such a powerful army unused?
But it was true that I had misunderstood Li Chengzhi. I vaguely remembered that I had put my arms around his neck and said sorry?
Now that I think about it, is the story of sworn friendship true?
It's so ridiculous... It's all Li Chengzhi's fault...
He was feeling strange in his heart, but he was quite sincere. Li Zun pointed at the wine jar: "Take this with you too, it's a good thing to dispel wind and cold..."
The attendant responded and helped him put on his armor.
……
When I got out of the tent, I saw a waning moon from Mount Emei hanging in the east sky. The moonlight was like water, and the earth was dyed with silver light.
The east side has turned white, and the sky is getting brighter. A row of wild geese flap their wings and fly north, making a sad sound.
Hearing another drum sound, Li Zunwei turned his head and saw that lights were on in each tent one after another. When he tilted his head slightly, he could see sparks, and the camp suddenly became agitated.
Did you get up quite early?
If there is no war, the drums will not be beaten unless the morning sun is seen in the Xi Gong Camp.
This Baijia camp is half an hour ahead of the Zhenfu army?
After personally leading the horse, Li Zun put on his big cloak and took the reins.
The reins are covered with frost, and the hands are bitingly cold.
This is the case in the North. Let alone spring, it is midsummer. It is not uncommon to see people wearing fur coats but still shivering from the cold.
He took a breath of mist, led the horse, and walked along the road to the village gate.
It wasn't that he didn't want to ride, but he could vaguely see a group of white cavalry leading their horses, heading towards the main road from the Chinese military camp.
Although the sky is dark and the face cannot be seen clearly, the figure can be seen clearly.
One of them is obviously Zhang Jingzhi...
Li Zun always felt a little strange: Even Zhang Sima had to abide by Li Chengzhi's rules?
While thinking about it, the two parties had arrived at the village gate and met together.
"Sima!" Li Zun clasped his fists.
"Yes!" Zhang Jingzhi responded lightly and got on the horse.
"Mount!"
Hearing just a clear shout, Baiyu Baiqi pulled the reins and pedaled, and got on the horse neatly.
You can tell at a glance that he is good at riding and shooting.
It seems that Li Chengzhi still has some strength...
Li Zun secretly praised him and got on the horse.
The cavalry was about to set off when, like thunder, several drums sounded in their ears.
Didn’t drums already play in the camp?
And this doesn’t seem to be a war drum. It’s beating so loudly and urgently, and it sounds like a war drum?
No, not in the camp...
When he realized that the drum sound was not coming from behind him, but from the opposite side, Li Zun's pupils shrank sharply.
This is the east gate of the camp. Where is the drum on the opposite side?
The enemy is coming?
It was already very bright at this time, and since it was facing the east, the visibility was not low.
Li Zun was shocked to find that a village wall was standing twenty or thirty feet away, blocking out the horses and becoming a forest. Looking back, he could see a crowd of people in the faint space?
There actually...is a large camp with a radius of several miles?
There must be tens of thousands of people?
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sounds of people roaring and horses neighing...
Looking closer, the flags on the village wall are fluttering in the wind, and the big characters on it are faintly visible: The new Buddha has come to the world, and the old demons have been slain!
This is clearly the rebel camp...
Where did it come from?
Could it be that it fell from the sky overnight?
Li Zun's scalp was numb and his eyes were about to split.
He suddenly remembered that Hu Baozong seemed to have mentioned it last night, saying that Li Chengzhi was pressing forward every step of the way, almost putting the camp in Liu Huiwang's face. The rebels were so frightened that they even had to open one eye while sleeping...
…
He also remembered that when he entered the camp last night, he walked through the north gate, which was too far away, and the sky was dark. He didn't know that the rebel camp was so close?
Maybe it was too early and the north gate was not open, so Zhang Jingzhi took the east gate instead. Otherwise, how could he have seen such a wonderful scene?
What Hu Baozong said is actually true?
What about the others...
"Start the formation!"
Just when he was surprised and suspicious, he suddenly heard a cold shout. Li Zunshun took a look and saw that nearly a hundred white knights got off their horses. Those who led the horses led the horses, those who raised their shields raised their shields, and those who unhooked their bows unhooked their bows and drew their swords.
The knife...
In the blink of an eye, a horse formation was formed, protecting Zhang Jingzhi in the middle.
The formation is like a flower bud in full bloom, with layers upon layers: horses are at the outermost edge, and then there are spearmen: there are soldiers holding horses in one hand and spears in the other, pointing straight out of the formation along the gaps.
Then comes the bow, pointing diagonally toward the sky, ready to go.
The innermost layer is the shield, which is so densely packed that, let alone the enemies and thieves, even I don’t know where Zhang Jingzhi is hiding?
But how long is it?
Looking at the shining spear-tip arrows and the iron barrel-like shield array, Li Zun felt a chilling aura of iron and blood rushing towards his face, which made his throat go dry...
Are Duke Xi's personal guards so agile and well-trained?
Look at the few guards and personal followers of yours, they are still riding on their horses, as if they don’t know what is going on?
Li Zun was shocked and angry. Just as he was about to get off his horse, he heard Zhang Jingzhi's voice again: "Li Cong, don't make a fuss..."
"Sima, the thieves have hundred-foot crossbows and stone cannons..."
"Well... let's go back to camp..."
As soon as Zhang Jingzhi finished speaking, the formation began to move. If you look closely, it was only the shield formation that was moving.
It was still as tight as a huge iron barrel, and only the lower body of the soldier could be seen, and he was walking backwards...
When the remaining white-armored soldiers were about to lead the horses, Li Zun came back to his senses.
Only then did the leader of his guards react. Looking at the rebels pouring out of the wall like a tide on the opposite side, he exclaimed as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Enemy attack?"
Li Zun was shaking with anger: "Extremely incompetent..."
When they entered the camp, Li Zun was even more shocked: Countless white-armored soldiers had already rushed to the side of the road and had begun to form formation.
Looking at the tents again, nine out of ten were empty, and most of the soldiers had already entered the formation.
The person holding the whip on the side of the road must be the team leader. When he saw the latecomers behind him, he didn't ask any questions and just whipped them?
The strange thing is that none of the soldiers who were whipped looked angry. Instead, they all smiled, as if they had made a huge mistake?
When asked, how long has it been, only half a moment at most, to be punished?
Even if it were replaced by Luo Jing's Su Wei (Yu Linjun), let alone half a moment, would he be able to formulate such a neat formation if he was given another half moment?
Li Zun felt his whole body was cold and his hairs stood on end...
Hearing the sound of galloping horses, Zhang Jingzhi looked back and saw a group of generals surrounding Li Chengzhi, riding their horses toward the village gate.
Everything on the body is neat and tidy, not even the nails are out of order.
Looking at Li Zun who was dumbfounded and trembling all over, Zhang Jingzhi couldn't help but sigh.
Why does he want Li Chengzhi to keep a low profile?
Because there is no longer one person who is shocked like Li Zun, and there will only be more in the future...
In just two months, a group of new recruits can be trained into such powerful soldiers?
Even with "all-powerful means", Li Chengzhi's magic cannot be described.
Anyone who sees it will definitely feel their scalp numb.
But for Li Chengzhi, this is definitely not a good thing!
It's a pity that the success fell short and it can no longer be hidden...
Zhang Jingzhi shook his head, pushed Li Cong away, and took the initiative to greet him.
"Didn't you have an agreement with Li Wenxiao? Why is it so sudden today?" Zhang Jingzhi asked in a low voice.
Li Chengzhi's face was a little gloomy: "I'm afraid something big will happen..."
The two of them had made an appointment a long time ago. If a drum sounds, it means that it is just for show. They will attack where they should attack and defend where they should. Of course, they will also fight for real.
If there are two drums, it means that there may be a big battle today, so Li Chengzhi should be prepared for the battle.
If there are three drums, it only means one thing: a big change has occurred, which will be extremely detrimental to Li Chengzhi...
The drum just sounded clearly three times...
"Sima, don't worry, I'll go up the ladder first and wait and see!"
Li Chengzhi replied, and shouted an order while climbing the ladder, "Li Song, order the Jiazi Battalion to guard the camp... Li Liang and Li Feng, each prepare a bow camp and a cavalry camp to attack at any time... Li Shi, burn the smoke
Subpoena, urgently summon Tangqi for night exploration to see if anything is found..."
Each general responded in succession and left one after another.
Immediately, another panicked voice sounded from behind: "Where am I? Where am I?"
Everyone turned around and saw that it was Hu Baozong.
Although the person came, he was only wearing a shirt, and his armor was still in Hu Xin’s hand?
Li Chengzhi's face darkened: Are you fucking embarrassed?
At least you have your pants straightened?
He glared at him coldly: "Twenty lashes... remember this for now..."
Hu Baozong was startled when he heard "Twenty lashes." He even woke up from his drunken state. After listening to the second half of the sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If executed in public, it would definitely be a real beating...
"No!" Li Song responded and glanced at Hu Baozong helplessly.
Because of this and such minor problems, Hu Baozong was almost given hundreds of lashes, and it was definitely the kind that he couldn't escape.
At most, I just need to be gentle...
Seeing the fear on Hu Baozong's face, Li Zun was so shocked that he didn't know what to do.
Where did Li Chengzhi get the courage?
Putting aside his family background, Hu Baozong was a school captain... Although he was in the seventh rank, he was still the chief officer. How much more valuable was he than a military officer like him?
But looking at the appearance of everyone, including Zhang Jingzhi, it seems that they have become accustomed to it?
And Hu Baozong, not only did his face not look angry, but he was grateful...
Li Zun feels like he is dreaming?
……
The camp was arrayed and prepared, everything was in order, quickly and without panic.
Yang Shu didn't know when he arrived. He was riding on a horse and staring at the rebels who were forming formation on the opposite side.
As if a little impatient, he raised his head again and asked Li Chengzhi: "How?"
"Nothing unusual?"
Li Chengzhi asked suspiciously.
The city was as usual, with no fires or smoke, and no shouts of killing could be heard.
On the other hand, the enemy camp opposite was crowded with people, roaring and neighing, and they were all gathering to the west, as if they were going to attack with all their strength.
It is impossible for Liu Huiwang to suddenly decide to fight to the death, something must have happened.
Li Chengzhi was overjoyed: "Duke Xi attacked the city?"
Calculating the time, it is entirely possible...
"Drunk?" Yang Shu scolded, "How many miles away is this city from the east to the west?"
Li Chengzhi slapped his forehead.
He was really in a daze. If Xi Kangsheng started fighting, he would at least inform Xilu first so that he could be prepared to intercept the rout.
Where else could it be?
Li Wenxiao's three drum beats were loud and urgent, and he clearly meant to fight...
Just as he was wondering, he heard a faint whistle in his ears, and Li Chengzhi suddenly raised his head.
Due south, dozens of horses are galloping towards them.
The first two riders were clearly Tang riders, with the flags on their backs as bright as fire.
The dozen or so riders chasing after them not only had monks with shiny scalps, but also horsemen with pheasant feathers?
Li Chengzhi roared loudly, like thunder: "Li Feng, meet the enemy..."
