Chapter 227 Don't want to go back
When marching at night, there were only a dozen large lanterns in front of them to lead the way. Apart from the sound of footsteps, there was no noise. Moreover, according to the standards before the Dengzhou army set up camp, they had to search for a distance of thirty miles away. Such a moonless night and marching like this is an extremely difficult task in the eyes of soldiers of this era.
In the Jiaozhou camp, the soldiers did not need to make a living every day, but were training in physical fitness and combat skills every day. The adequate food and salary ensured their mental stability. The daily preaching and military discipline required by officers gave them strong obedience and discipline. The training of modern military ensured sufficient physical fitness and the continuous indoctrination of beliefs, which gave them a good mentality and courage.
These factors are the guarantee of this night marching.
The guerrilla Luo Hao's army, who was harassed since he left the city, was exhausted from the first three days to the degree of harassment gradually weakened. The exhausted from the beginning slowly turned into fatigue. Finally, he relaxed tonight. Not only did he lower his vigilance, but he was still sleeping well even when he was sleeping.
Luo Hao didn't have to worry about camp roaring and bombing tonight, but the enemy came directly to the door.
The Dengzhou army also had its own defense at the door, but they did not pay much attention to it. So far, they thought that the army that had been annihilated and dispersed in Rushanzhai was really rampant, because the situation reported by the magistrates, magistrates and others were all attacking the army.
This incident is ridiculous and sad. The army was attacked by bandits, resulting in a collapse. The local officials reported it like this. The generals felt that it was extremely normal, and the superiors did not feel suspicious.
Everyone thinks it is commonplace, and no one finds it surprised. It is really ridiculous and sad.
Luo Hao and his personal soldiers no longer care about killing their compatriots. They slashed and killed their compatriots with knives, and finally sorted out the chaotic military camps and ordered them. After subduing the nearest camps, those camps were also a whole team to suppress other chaotic parts.
There were sharpened and tied horse-rejecting wooden frames. The soldiers guarding the gate quickly moved the wooden frames to the door to block them. According to the rules, the soldiers immediately had to hold long weapons on wooden stakes, and soldiers with bows and arrows and firearms were prepared to launch and block them.
However, the camp was already extremely panicked, and there were not so many people doing such things. They were the generals and commanders, and they were the first to lead the way. Li Meng and Zhao Neng were both on the dozens of horses in front, wearing armor and holding swords and axes in their hands.
There is nothing unsafe to say. According to the eyeliner hidden in Zhuangzi, the camp did not even dig a trench, and just simply surrounded a circle of wooden fences. Then a group of yawning soldiers rushed to sleep. As long as it was messy, it would be too simple to break through.
Seeing dozens of horses pressing towards this side, the spears in the hands of the soldiers standing behind the wooden fence kept trembling. In the end, they could not bear the pressure. The chaotic situation behind them made people feel unsatisfied. In the end, they simply threw the spear and ran towards the camp.
The dozens of knights in front were holding heavy knives and axes in their hands. After approaching, they slashed and slashed at the wooden stake, and soon cut open the wooden stake rack.
The soldiers behind rushed in, and Li Meng and the dozens of knights around him formed an arrow and slowly broke into the middle of the military camp. Although the infantry of Jiaozhou camp was in a turbulent momentum, they were not in a hurry. They formed a square team according to the orders, followed the horse team and set up a formation.
Finally, the dozen big lanterns and two hundred sword and shield hands outside also entered the military camp. These sword and shield hands were holding short weapons and carrying large bundles of dried firewood and grass. Some were carrying pottery jars.
Dozens of heavily armored cavalry formed a formation. In this chaotic camp, all they needed to do was to see someone appear within the range of horses' weapons, raise a knife and an axe and chop it down.
As for the infantry behind, they slowly unfolded according to the platoons on the battlefield, and slowly distanced the infantry between them. Of course, what they had to do was the same as the cavalry, and they greeted the spear, axe and gun in their hands to greet the approaching enemies.
After the sword and shield hand carrying firewood on his back suddenly entered the military camp, the scene became much quieter. Luo Hao finally stabilized the troops, but at this time he found that half of the camp was enemies, and the soldiers' tents were pushed open, and the wooden fences that were erected around were also pushed down.
"You dare to attack the imperial army so blatantly. Are you going to rebel?"
Luo Hao could only shout at the top of his voice. Before the enemy had attacked, his own troops were incredibly chaotic at first. Halfway through the storm, the enemy rushed in, and the soldiers were even more chaotic.
When the situation finally stabilized, I found that more than 5,000 soldiers were standing beside me, with corpses everywhere. Thousands of enemy soldiers standing opposite me were like gods of killing, which made people feel cold in their hearts.
In Luo Hao's heart, Shandong is nothing more than two capable soldiers, one is Liu Zeqing's subordinates and the other is Shandong general Qiu Lei's army. It is natural that Liu Zeqing's army was defeated by "trespassers". The border soldiers in the nine towns were defeated, so let alone these inland army horses (in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shandong was considered inland, of course, at that time it was the difference between border towns and inland. As for the coast, few people think this is the border).
But Liu Zeqing was destroyed among the officers and soldiers. Should the one who can fight the most soon be his own troops? Shandong general Qiu Lei and the officers below never felt how powerful the powerful would be Li Meng, the general of Laizhou Prefecture, who would be in charge of this powerful army.
But looking at the enemy army in front of us, with its neat formation, standard equipment, and strict orders, how could it be the so-called bandits and thieves...
The military camp seemed very dark. After all, it was night. Except for the torches held by a few people, the rest was the brazier fire tank lit at night, which shone on the enemy in front of them, and looked like ghosts and gods in front of the army that had finally been sorted out behind Luo Hao.
"Everyone is a soldier from the court, why bother attacking each other like this? If it gets a big deal, it may turn into a situation with Kong Youde... Mr. Luo asks for a word, and it will be convenient for each other today."
This sentence was very simple at first, but later it became soft. Laiyang City and Li Meng were completely ignored by looking at the silent warriors on the other side, and dozens of heavily armored knights riding on horses. The momentum emitted in the dark made him more and more frightened.
I can't see who the other party is, but I am facing an overwhelmingly powerful person. People must be extremely afraid of unknown things, or are they so unaware of where they come from. Such a powerful enemy makes Luo Hao even more afraid.
Suddenly, the entire military camp suddenly lit up. The officers and soldiers behind Luo Hao were first shocked, and then someone saw the reason for the light. A raging fire ignited in several directions of the military camp. Soon someone shouted heart-wrenchingly:
"The granary caught fire!"
Finally, the swords and shields who entered the barracks piled firewood on food and supplies, poured oil from the clay pots, and then threw it on with lanterns.
The fire was lit everywhere, the weather was dry, the fire was extremely fierce, and the open space in the military camp seemed to be like daylight.
The dozens of knights immersed in the dark immediately appeared in front of Luo Hao. Luo Hao had never seen Li Meng before, but seeing the other party's horses could be called a horse. The key parts of the horses were covered with leather armor, and the cavalry on the horses were all wearing full armor, and they didn't look like a ragged person.
Luo Hao reacted quickly and shouted angrily at the top of his throat:
"You are soldiers of Laizhou Prefecture. Are you already so lawless? You actually crossed the garrison without authorization and came to our Dengzhou Prefecture..."
The military soldiers in this world, whether it is a major town on the Jiubian or a richest place in Jiangnan, are always inseparable from the word "poor". They are tattered clothes and weapons, and their military pay is detained layer by layer. They usually stay in the place and support themselves. Sometimes they have to go out to help the mercenaries. When the generals are fighting, they plunder the place. When they don't fight, they deduct military pay. In addition to giving their own personal soldiers, they can reap as much as they want. They buy more weapons and clothes for their subordinates. They will pay money from their pockets. Who is willing to spend that in vain?
Li Meng, the general of Laizhou Prefecture, was rich in the world. There are rumors in the whole of Shandong. If you are willing to buy such neat armor and weapons for the army, among the six Shandong prefectures, there are probably only Li Meng. If you say that they are treacherous and other thieves, they are rebelling for the sake of their meals, so how can you have any other spare money?
After being called out by Luo Hao, Li Meng lifted his face armor and said slowly:
"General Luo, you admit your mistake."
While speaking, dozens of soldiers around Luo Hao wanted to rush towards this side, but they were hit by the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time with a dozen guns, and then shrank back in a mess. Luo Hao's head woke up and immediately realized that the other person in front of him was much stronger than him, and his life was controlled by others. He hurriedly said:
"What happened this time? Brothers will bring their troops back to Dengzhou and will definitely not say anything."
Li Meng closed the face armor with his leisurely voice:
"A dignified imperial general, do you still expect to return to Dengzhou City when you are so proud of these people in the world?"
