Chapter 80 Li Zicheng's helplessness
"Uncle, when my nephew led his troops to arrive here, Xing Tianjun had already left here. According to Tan Ma's report, Xiao Tianjian led his troops to meet He Renlong's soldiers and horses in the south! I don't know where it is at this time! After his nephew arrived here with his troops, he encountered the officers and soldiers of He Renlong, who had crossed the river. There was a big war with him before dusk. Unfortunately, this He madman was not as unbearable as I thought. We suffered some losses!" Li Guo said to Li Zicheng with a shy face.
Li Zicheng immediately asked, "How much is the loss?"
After Li Guo hesitated for a moment, he replied with shame, " More than 200 people were killed in the battle, and the number of injuries was almost the same!" But he also killed more than a hundred officers and soldiers! It's just that Li Baozi was unfortunately hit by several heavy losses in the battle just now. After grabbing it, he died!"
Li Zicheng took a breath of cold air. He knew the combat effectiveness of the two thousand pawns he asked Li Guo brought. These were all the pawns he worked hard to bring out. They were all experienced soldiers, but he lost more than 20% of them when he came here. For him, this is his painstaking efforts!
Originally, he thought that He Renlong was not even an opponent of Xing Tianjun, so after Li Guo led these two thousand elite soldiers, He Renlong must have given it for nothing, but he didn't want to defeat He Renlong, who couldn't beat Xing Tianjun, but he actually made Li Guo helpless and beat Li Guo's soldiers. Li Baozi, one of the company generals, was also in the battle just now. After his death in the battle, it can be seen that He Renlong's soldiers and horses are not unbearable to fight, so this matter is strange. Is it possible that the refined soldiers he has refined are not as good as the new graduates of Xing Tianjun?
Why can Xing Tianjun defeat He Renlong, and the people under his command don't work when they come. Why did they hit the iron plate? Li Zicheng really couldn't figure it out.
The night was dark, and the two army battalions were stuck in the camp several miles apart. From a distance, the bonfire seemed to be very quiet, but who could see that there was a strong murder hidden in it.
After the two armies entered the night, they did not dare to act rashly. After all, the northerners in the mainland were blind at night because of nutrition. As a last resort, ordinary people did not dare to act at night. If they were a little careless, they could not only not attack the enemy, but also cause their own chaos. Therefore, after the two armies entered the night, they strictly restrained their subordinates and soldiers in the camp. Don't move without permission. Only some capable sentries can leave the camp and go to lurk around the enemy's camp under the cover of the night to detect the enemy's situation.
The bodies of the generals killed by the two armies in the dusk were exposed in the wilderness, and no one restrained them, making the night full of a sense of desolation. After all, the lives in troubled world are the most cheap, and those who are alive are valuable. If they die, no one will care about them anymore, but the officers and soldiers are better in this regard. After all, most of them are There is a family and a room. After death, they have to give an explanation to their families, and the heads of the rebels are also necessary for them. Only in this way can they ask for credit.
Therefore, after the nightfall, the Rebel Battalion closed its doors, but the officers and soldiers sent a group of generals out of the camp with torches to enter the battlefield during the day, collected the bodies of the dead left by the officers during the day, loaded them back to the camp, and cut off the heads of the dead Rebels on the corpses, and also loaded them with cars. I went back to the camp.
For the actions of the officers and soldiers, Li Zicheng did not send troops to interfere. They restrained the bodies of the officers and soldiers, and there was another conflict between the night, which was taken advantage of by He Renlong.
Sitting in the tent in the camp, Li Zicheng had a headache about the current situation. Li Guo led his troops to fight with He Renlong at dusk, which made him understand that He Renlong was not easy to mess with. It was not that He Renlong could not stand the war, but that they all underestimated Xiao Tianjian's Xing Tianjun's combat strength. Really, after He Renlong was in front of them, He Human dragons are still their invincible opponents.
Li Zicheng sat alone in the tent and thought for a long time before he figured out the reason. He couldn't help sighing deeply, punched heavily on his thigh and stood up, and slowly walked out of his tent.
He walked slowly to the Yuanmen and looked at the army camp with torches from afar. He couldn't help but feel a headache about the current situation.
Judging from the battle between Li Guohuang and He Renlong, it is impossible for him to eat He Renlong with his own strength. The two sides are now similar in strength, and his combat strength is not as good as He Renlong's officers and soldiers. If he continues to fight with He Renlong here, I'm afraid he won't wait for He Renlong to be If he kills it, his men will be eaten by He Renlong first.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still sighed. It seems that he can't take Longzhou City in a short time. At present, only ask Gao Yingxiang to lead his troops to come here as soon as possible. Only when they work together can they defeat Longzhou City. What annoyed him is that this time he despised Xiao Tianjian because he obeyed Gu Junen's advice. The combat strength of Xing Tianjun not only did not take advantage of the opportunity, but also made a wedding dress for Xiao Tianjian for nothing.
After learning more about the situation of Xing Tianjun's two battles with He Renlong in Dashiqiao in detail from several scouts just now, he finally understood Xiao Tianjian's plan.
Xiao Tianjian never thought that he would stop He Renlong's soldiers and horses with the use of Xing Tianjun alone. Instead, he took a coincidence to stick to the bridgehead of the big stone bridge, tempt He Renlong to make the enemy down, and took the opportunity to catch He Renlong off guard.
When Xiao Tianjian learned that He Renlong crossed the river from two places up and down the river, he immediately destroyed the bridge and went south, avoiding He Renlong's main force. He went to find the trouble of other officers and soldiers separated by He Renlong, but he foolishly listened to Gu Junen's opinion and led his troops here, just blocking He for Xiao Tianjian. The main force of human dragons.
In this way, Xiao Tianjian could lead his troops to find the partial army separated by He Renlong, and let him sit on this radish. In the end, he was in the bamboo basket, but Xing Tianjun could take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng felt that he was blocked in his heart, but there was no place to vent. He couldn't help but secretly hate Xiao Tianjian. At the same time, he also had doubts about Gu Junen's ability. He complained that Gu Junen could not see the situation clearly. As a result, he gave him a bad idea and made him a dilemma now.
The night wind blew on Li Zicheng's body, which made Li Zicheng feel cool. He couldn't help tightening his cloak and turned around to go back to the camp, but he turned his head and saw Li Guo also walking behind him. His uncle and nephew couldn't help smiling bitterly.
"Uncle, it seems that we not only underestimate the madman He this time, but also underestimate the Xing Tianjun! Now, according to my uncle's opinion, what should we do?" After Li Guo gave a salute to Li Zicheng, he waved to other idle people to retreat, and slowly walked towards the camp with Li Zicheng.
"Yes! We really underestimated this Xing Tianjun! And we all underestimated Xiao Tianjian! This son dares to come to fight against the madman He with such a little force under his command. This courage is really extraordinary! It can be said that this son is really a hero, bold and careful, and good at strategy!
What else can we do now? Now we don't know where Xiao Tianjian led his troops, but I have a hunch that I'm afraid this time he will do something shocking to me! It is not guaranteed that the soldiers and horses separated by He madman will fall into the hands of his Xingtian army this time!" Li Zicheng said with a wry smile.
Li Guo angrily kicked a branch under his feet and said to Li Zicheng, "Mr. Gu's idea to my uncle today is really a bad idea!"
If he hadn't let his nephew say something to stop his uncle, if his uncle had led his department and Xing Tianjun to Wanzihe this time, he could not have made He madman slip away with his tail, but just because he listened to his advice, he made Xiao Tianjian's reputation in vain!
And now it's Mr. Gu's idea. Let us lead our troops to come here, but we have to face the part of He lunatic. Instead, we have made a pot of rice for him, so that he can rest assured and boldly pursue the men of the lunatic He! It's really annoying!"
Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Gu can't be blamed for this. After all, we didn't expect this son to be so powerful. With such a small stone bridge, he beat the crazy man. You and I used to underestimate him and the generals under his command. It was precisely because I didn't think of this. It's so embarrassing!"
"So uncle, what should we do tomorrow?" Li Guo stopped and asked Li Zicheng.
"It's safe to come. Now that He Renlong has crossed the Wanzi River, there is no way to stop him from returning to Longzhou City. Since we can't eat him, we have to let him go back to Longzhou City! At least this time, Xiao Tianjian ate a lot of elite soldiers under the command of He Renlong, which is always good for us to attack Longzhou City next!
In today's plan, we still need to ask the king to rush to Longzhou City as soon as possible and attack Longzhou City with our troops. As for the Xing Tianjun, it goes without saying that they will definitely become famous after this battle. It will be even more difficult for my uncle to win him to join us again!"
"Did your uncle ever think about finding a place to get rid of this Xiao Tianjian? As long as Xiao Tianjian dies, it is expected that his soldiers will naturally fall apart. At that time, as long as his uncle gives favors, won't they be used by his uncle? Li Guo looked at no one around, so his eyes flashed and whispered to Li Zicheng.
"Nonsense! Uncle, am I that kind of person? When we come out to do things, we should put faith first. Xiao Tianjian is our friendly army. How can I design to harm him? Don't talk about this in front of anyone in the future! Do you remember?" Li Zicheng stared, but he felt quite majestic and scolded Li Guo.
Li Guo quickly nodded and agreed, but immediately whispered, "I don't know why, I always feel that Xiao Tianjian doesn't seem to be the same person as us. This person is unique. Although he gives us food to us, he always keeps a distance from us. It seems that we are not With one heart, if this person is not eliminated, I'm afraid it will be a scourge sooner or later!"
Li Zicheng twisted his beard on his lower jaw and sneered, "Do you think I didn't see it? Although he is respectful to me on the surface, I have already seen that this son is by no means a person who is willing to be under the shelter of others. I'm afraid that this person has the ambition to be a hero. Although he has dated with me, he has always restricted his subordinates to us, and the marching and camping are all self-contained. Even if it is a whistle, it is not fake. It is precisely because of this reason why my uncle listened. You and Mr. Gu's advice, want to make him suffer a loss, and then accept him.
I didn't expect... That's all! However, on the other hand, this man is still useful to us now. After all, his soldiers have shown that they are a rare tough soldier. As long as we guard against him in the future, even if he is ambitious, there will be no harm to us! If we turn against him now, there will be no benefit. Once he annoys his generals, even if he dies, his generals will hate us. He can turn to the officers and army and turn around to deal with us!
In that case, didn't we make wedding clothes for the government again? You should pay attention, try your best to make friends with him in the future, and stop thinking nonsense!"
After listening to Li Zicheng's words, Li Guo also sighed, hugged his fist and said to Li Zicheng, "My nephew is taught!" I will never mention this in front of people again! It's getting late, uncle, let's take the account and have a rest! There is a nephew here, and he will never let the officers and soldiers take it!"
