Chapter 118 War

"kill!"

"Kill! Kill!"

The war drums rumbled, and the shouts of killing soared into the sky resounded through the sky.

The once peaceful Zhending Mansion City is now trapped in the smoke of war.

At the end of the sixth year of the Tianqi period, Li Erdong, the leader of Zhending thief, who occupied several cities in Zhending Mansion, led his soldiers, known as an army of 100,000, and besieged Zhending Mansion!

Although there is no heavy snow in winter, the cold winter has not decreased at all. The towering Zhending Mansion City stands on the plain, and the vast peasant army that cannot be seen at first sight is listed at the east gate of the mansion.

The smoke of gunpowder had already risen. Amid the rumbling drums, countless yellow-faced and thin victims were holding wooden sticks and rushed towards the city wall numbly under the threat of the slightly strict supervision team behind.

The rain of arrows poured down on the city wall, and the sound of muskets and cannons continued to sound. The countless victims who were wrapped by Li Erdong and his family were now like they were being cut into wheat, one by one, one after another, and they were in a pool of blood.

The moat has long been filled, and the price paid is that the corpse bodies are covered with layers of corpse bodies under the city wall, and these are only part of them. On the back of the peasant army camp, several corpse pits with strong stench, and countless corpse bodies are the main results of this period.

At this time, the siege battle, looking at the entire city wall, there were no decent siege equipment. Most of them were simple long ladders. Under the city wall, fire flashed, screamed and wailed constantly. Every moment, there were countless ends of life.

At this time, dozens of figures stood on a hillside about a few miles away from Zhending Mansion City.

Dozens of soldiers were spread around the hillside, standing straight. Li Xiu was wearing armor and holding the hilt of a knife in his hand. A blood-red cloak swayed in the wind.

Li Xiu was a little surprised to be able to stand here so easily.

Normally, the area where a large camp of a military camp is stationed within dozens of miles must be covered with horse scouts, and there are naturally many guards for posts openly and secretly.

Since leading the army, Li Xiu has always been demanding himself and his soldiers according to this standard.

However, after arriving at Zhending Mansion, Li Xiu sent a large number of scouts to investigate, but found a fact that made Li Xiu extremely speechless.

This disaster has caused Zhending Yifu, known as a 100,000 army. Now he is targeting Li Erdong, a unit of Zhending Yifu, and does not even have a decent horse detection and early warning system.

Of course, it is not that there is no such thing as there, but either they are neglecting their duties and are smearing their necks by the scouts of the Yongwei Camp, or they are openly blocking the road and setting up checkpoints, plundering people's wealth and cream.

Although it is only a few dozen miles away from the garrison area of ​​Li Erdong, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to cross this distance.

After all, any time a scout who sends back the news is enough to mobilize troops and make a response strategy.

But now, nearly 10,000 troops have arrived at the rear hinterland of Li Erdong and his group without any obstacles.

A few miles away, the order is coming soon! And it is in the hinterland of the unprepared rear!

Li Xiu felt that under such a situation, even if the military immortal Han Xin was reincarnated, it would not be possible to turn defeat into victory under such a close attack!

Thoughts flashed and looked away, and the battle on the battlefield was clearly reflected in Li Xiu's vision.

Before he arrived at Zhending Mansion, Li Xiu sent a large number of scouts to explore horses. Therefore, he also had a clear understanding of the detailed movements of Li Erdong's family.

This siege battle has lasted for seven days!

As far as Li Xiu knew, there were only two thousand soldiers in the city.

Looking at the simple siege equipment and the ants attacking city without any tactics, Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head.

The so-called incompetence of a general and exhausting the three armies is the scene in front of him!

But when you think about it from another perspective, the scene in front of you is quite in line with the development history of the peasant army in this era.

The Li Erdong team in front of him has undoubtedly passed the most fragile stage of the Peasant Army's uprising at the beginning. It has brought disaster victims and is very popular. Now it has undoubtedly entered the second stage of the Peasant Army's development.

Survive in nature and survive the fittest!

Eliminate, eliminate, eliminate again!

In this way, it can not only reduce the supply of food and grass, but also train backbone elites through war. In this process, it is inevitable that many soldiers of the military and some knowledgeable people will join the peasant army, making their organizational system more formal.

Once this stage is over, one side will have great troubles and will be troubled by the province.

Just like Li Zicheng in history, even if he is defeated and hundreds of thousands of troops are destroyed, as long as his confidants are still alive and not caught in one go, in this era of people's miserable life, he can pull out another army anytime and anywhere, and rekindle again. After learning from experience and lessons, he will even become stronger and stronger!

"General, the troops have arrived at the reserved location!"

A commander rushed over and half-kneeled on the ground, and a hurrying voice also came into Li Xiu's ears.

This words came to my ears. Li Xiu slowly looked up and looked at the slightly dim sky. After a moment of silence, he suddenly turned around. At this time, the sharp-eyed guards on the side also came immediately with the war horses.

Li Xiu leaped and sat steadily on the horse's back, shouted lightly, and rode his horse to gallop. At this time, at the foot of the mountain, on the official road, the cavalry continued, and the soldiers were in a cold state, as if they were ready to go.

Li Xiu jumped over and turned his horse's head suddenly, and his horse's head was raised. Li Xiu looked around at the cavalry, which was completely rookie, and shouted in a deep voice: "The first battle between the cavalry battalion will be today!"

"Those who are afraid to fight against the former will kill! Those who disrupt the morale of the army will kill! Those who disobey the military order will kill!"

"The general has an order! Those who are afraid to fight and do not fight in the former will kill! Those who disrupt the morale of the army will kill! Those who disobey the order will kill!"

As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, several commanders beside him immediately rode their horses and ran, and the shouts echoed continuously on this official road.

As the sound continued, an inexplicable sense of depression began to permeate this cavalry that had only been formed for several months.

As the chief general of the first army, Li Xiu could naturally clearly sense the changes in the morale of the army, but he did not intend to relieve this depression at all.

Repression requires catharsis.

At present, there is something to vent!

"kill!"

Turning his horse's head, Li Xiu shouted again, and the voice spread not far, but as Li Xiu took the lead and rode his horse, the cavalry soldiers in the front also subconsciously followed closely.

Under the chain reaction, the continuous cavalry on the official road was like Donomian dominoes, and they all followed.

Step on...
