Chapter 29 Embark on the Journey
(Sorry, the update is wrong. I uploaded the two newly written chapters first! It's time to fight! Correct it now!)
Looking at the thick smoke rolling behind him, Xiao Tianjian took a deep breath, turned his horse's head and went out of the mountain gate. Behind him were a team of Xingtian's army and a large number of vehicles full of various materials.
Just after dawn, all the troops of Xing Tianjun gathered on the colonel field in the village, led by the soldiers. The new soldiers and soldiers were behind, and made the oath before the expedition on the school field. Xiao Tianjian personally made the last mobilization in public. This time, they gave up the local area and gave all the affairs of going with Li Zicheng's troops. The public made an explanation.
Everyone is actually ready to leave Tianlongzhai this time, but when they really want to leave here, many people still have a feeling that is difficult to give up. After all, they have been here for several months, and everyone is familiar with the grass and trees here. It is a little sad for many people to leave here and embark on an unknown road.
But Xiao Tianjian has also made it clear that they don't escape from here this time, but to break out a wider way to live. And staying here will only attract a large number of officers and soldiers. It can only be a dead end. As the saying goes, it's better to wait for the officials and soldiers to suppress it. So give up this place and find a way to live.
And Xiao Tianjian also attached a sentence that if anyone doesn't want to leave, it's not impossible. He won't force it. After all, some people are locals and don't want to leave their hometown, which is also extenuable, so he will leave some food for those who don't want to leave and let them go home.
But no one is stupid. If they could survive here, they would not have joined the Xing Tianjun to rebel with Xiao Tianjian, so it's useless to say that. Everyone would rather follow Xiao Tianjian to go outside than choose to take some food home, just the thief on his back now. Name, being reported after going back was enough to make them lose their heads, so in the end, no one chose to stay in the local area.
After Xiao Tianjian's words, although some people were still a little reluctant, they did not have any antagonistic mood. Instead, they were very grateful that Xiao Tianjian could tell them all these things and let them know clearly what they would do next. On the contrary, after Xiao Tianjian ordered the departure, the soldiers and generals The morale was cheered up.
With the sound of the departure number, the officers in the team began to give orders one after another. A team of soldiers began to turn around. The drums of drummers with the team followed Xiao Tianjian and walked towards the mountain gate. Finally, a general led by Feng Gouzi was responsible for the back of the palace. They lit the already prepared The torch went to all parts of Tianlongzhai and ignited houses one by one. Soon, in Tianlongzhai, a huge flame was ignited, and thick smoke rose to the sky with flames, as if it were on a grand journey for them.
After seeing the thick smoke rising in Tianlongzhai, Li Zicheng sat on the back of the horse and said to the generals under his command, "It seems that Xiao Tianjian should be a believer, and he must practice what he says. We have another strong help on this trip!"
The generals also nodded one after another. For the unpleasantness between Xiao Tianjian and Gao Yingxiang this time, they have already learned the details. In the eyes of most people, they can't blame Xiao Tianjian, but what makes them a little dissatisfied is that as a latecomer, Xiao Tian Even if Jian and his Xing Tianjun do not join Li Zicheng's command, at least they should join Gao Yingxiang's command. They should not be on an equal footing with them at all. But at present, this Xing Tianjun wants to become an army of their own army like them, which makes them somewhat unsatisfied.
But the next scene made Li Zicheng and others slightly shaken. When they saw a neat team of soldiers and horses walking out of the gate of Tianlongzhai Mountain, they began to be somewhat suppressed.
Because unlike what they thought, although Xing Tianjun broke the kettle and sank the boat this time and burned their village, when he came out, his morale was still so strong. Everyone silently stepped on the drums, stepped neatly, walked out of the cottage like an iron stream, and in the mountain space. There was no messy sound during the line on the ground, only a crisp command of the officer, which was issued, and then the officers' subordinates immediately ordered the ban to be carried out according to the order, without any chaos.
They are all people who fought from a battle. Of course, they know what this means. At first, when they saw a part of the Xing Tianjun, they thought that it was just the most elite whistler horse of the Xing Tianjun, which was deliberately displayed by Xiao Tianjian, but today when they saw all the Xing Tianjun out of the village, They only found that it was not the case. The more than 1,000 generals in the forefront of the Xingtian Army could not distinguish those who were the 400 generals led by Xiao Tianjian the day before yesterday. This proved that the strength of the Xing Tianjun was much stronger than they thought at first, and its combatable strength was far beyond their expectations.
And the quality of the equipment of these more than a thousand soldiers and horses also make them feel jealous. Almost half of the soldiers will be equipped with armor. Everyone has at least two weapons, and the gray leggings are neatly, which makes their military appearance much more neat, compared with the equipment of the generals in front of the Xing Tianjun. They couldn't help looking back at the soldiers and horses behind them. They couldn't help but feel a little inferior, because among the 7,000 horses they led, they could only make up a total of hundreds of armor. The number may not be as many armors equipped by more than two thousand people of the Xingtian Army, and many of them are even serious. None of the weapons can be equipped, and a large number of people belong to the old and weak. Compared with the people from Xing Tianjun, their soldiers and horses are like beglings, and there is no comparison at all.
Even the equipment quality of most of the officers and soldiers they have seen before can't keep up with the equipment quality of this Xing Tianjun. They really can't think of such a pole as Xing Tianjun that has just formed an army. Why does it have such good equipment? This person is really more annoying than people! Many people's eyes began to show greed.
Even if they saw the large number of generals who escorted the convoy who came out of the village later, they remained solemn. Although Li Zicheng and his subordinates knew that the people who came out later should belong to the auxiliary soldiers of the Xingtian Army. Generally speaking, they would not be used on the battlefield, but with their equipment and performance, they were also It's not bad, and these auxiliary soldiers are also young and strong. Compared with the auxiliary soldiers on Li Zicheng's side, Li Zicheng and his generals really feel embarrassed.
And what shocked them more was the amount of materials of Xing Tianjun, which far exceeded their expectations. In just a cart with a mule horse, Xing Tianjun drove out more than 60 vehicles. Each cart was full of various supplies, most of which were loaded. It's a package of food. With a big eye, you can calculate that Xing Tianjun's grain alone is enough for this Xingtian soldier to consume for two months. No wonder Xing Tianjun is so generous and gives them a thousand stones of grain at once. It turns out that other people's food is really enough, which is so generous.
In addition to these carriages with animals, there are dozens of wheelbicles pushed by manpower, each of which is also filled with food and other things. It makes them jealous that they have eaten all day long.
This is not included, and then there was something that surprised them more. In the middle of the Xing Tianjun team, there were actually several strangely shaped gun trucks, all of which were equipped with a medium-sized Fran machine gun. Each gun truck was covered with two strong mules, and it was not difficult to pull these gun trucks.
Li Zicheng and his generals couldn't help taking a deep breath. They didn't expect that Xing Tianjun even had this kind of big killer, and there were a lot of them. This is not to mention that they haven't seen small tiger squat guns and other cannons that may be installed on the car. If they are all added, Xing Tianjun is not the next one. There are as many as twenty. With such equipment, I'm afraid that the rebels who have just jumped out of Shangluo will not have so many cannons from him.
Li Zicheng couldn't help calling for luck. This time, his uncle Gao Yingxiang did not turn against Xiao Tianjian because he wanted to forcibly accept Xing Tianjun. If Gao Yingxiang turned against him the day before yesterday and wanted to eat Xing Tianjun, then there must be a bloody battle between the two sides. Although Li Zicheng believes that his uncle Gao Yingxiang may eventually get Victory, but it is estimated that after this battle, I'm afraid that the destruction of the Xing Tianjun will be destroyed at a very heavy price. If so, then Gao Yingxiang will be unable to recover within a short time.
Seeing several war horses out of the Xing Tianjun's array, they rushed to Li Zicheng and their people. Li Zicheng picked up the reeds and greeted them. Xiao Tianjian, who sat on the horse, hugged his fist and smiled, "General Xiao really believes in people. Li is waiting here!"
Before Xiao Tianjian came over, he also saw that Li Zicheng's subordinates had collected their tents and lined up to start. Compared with the part of Gao Yingxiang yesterday, although Li Zicheng's troops were much less, they seemed to be more powerful, and the people were not too strong. After lining up, they were far better than Gao Yingxiang's command. The direct group of soldiers and horses should be much more capable, and Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses were divided into two parts. The more than 4,000 people in front should belong to Li Zicheng's core soldiers. Although the equipment is not very good, at least most of these people have weapons, and the more than 3,000 people in the back are obviously auxiliary soldiers. Many of them are women and children. They should be the wives and children of Li Zicheng's generals. They are listed as a separate battalion. In this way, Jing Wei is clearly no longer chaotic. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian also secretly admires Li Zicheng's ability to control his subordinates. If not, Xiao Tianjian would really look down on Li Zicheng!
"Don't dare! On the contrary, Xiao asked Li Chuang to wait for a long time! Now our generals are ready and can leave at any time. I don't know if Li Chuang has any other instructions? Xiao Tianjian's initial impression of Li Zicheng was quite good, so in front of Li Zicheng, he put away the style of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but lowered his posture and said to Li Zicheng.
"How dare you tell! The King of Breaking made me arrive in Longzhou first this time, and he led his troops to go south to attack the Baoji first, so as to attract the attention of the government and make it easier for me to act. Now that the King has been away for three days, let's not delay! It's better to leave for Longzhou now and catch the government off guard!" Li Zicheng said politely to Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "I would like to be the leader of Li Chuang. As long as Li Chuang's command, I would like to be the pioneer of Li Chuang!"
