Zhu Yixi naturally didn't know the situation in Yangzhou. Now he was facing the huge invading army outside Xi'an.
The situation on the battlefield seemed to be heading in an unfavorable direction.
The invaders, who had relatively sufficient food and grass, lived happily in the camp, lighting fires from time to time and constantly provoking.
The Ming army, on the other hand, continued to exercise restraint at the request of King Yu.
It's freezing cold and snowflakes are falling.
The most important thing is the food road.
Li Zicheng learned and used it flexibly, and had the advantage of military strength. He constantly harassed the grain roads and wanted to cut off the Ming army's food and grass.
However, what Chuangjun didn't expect was that as an auxiliary soldier transporting food, he actually also had combat capabilities.
"Damn it!" Wang Chunqing looked at the unwilling and retreating Chu army and said through gritted teeth: "Brothers, hold them back, otherwise we will kill so many people in vain."
This moment instantly aroused everyone's desire for military success.
In terms of number, the civilians numbered about two thousand, while the cavalry was only a few hundred. The cavalry who retreated after the attack failed only encouraged their morale.
What's more important is that according to the latest regulations, a trip to transport food only has half a point of merit, and if the counterattack is successful, it will be counted as an encounter and count as two points of merit.
This is four acres of land, we must give it a try! !
Wang Chunqing took the lead, overturned the grain cart in one fell swoop, and ran forward four or five steps, as if he was trying to resist with his body.
His cotton robe was covered with a simple iron shell, and his lower body was covered with gray cotton trousers. He was holding a spear, his face was red from the cold, and his eyes were shining.
"Intruder, don't run away if you have the ability. If grandpa is afraid, it will be your father and mother-in-law who sleeps."
Under his leadership, all the civilians exposed their heads and ignited their blood. Regardless of the blood on the ground, they rushed forward impatiently.
"So brave, I don't know whether to live or die."
Chuang Jun, who turned around and ran away, was stunned, and then he became annoyed and his face turned ugly.
They did not expect that a group of food transporters would have such courage to risk their lives.
"You little thief is looking for death."
"Those who are willing to die will be fulfilled naturally."
The Cavalry Commander Qian's face turned green and white, and sneered. He immediately turned his head and desperately ordered the cavalry to charge again.
Facing the murderous cavalry, Wang Chunqing naturally felt confident. He held the spear and threw it forward with all his strength.
"Crack--" The spear passed through an unlucky galloping horse, leaving a bloody mark on its buttocks.
In an instant, people were thrown off their backs, and a rider was destroyed.
Wang Chunqing couldn't care less about her joy, leaving only an afterimage on the spot, striding forward and running directly behind the grain truck, hiding her figure.
The other auxiliary soldiers followed suit, waving their spears and throwing them at the cavalry, and then fled behind the carriage again.
Even though these projected spears were not accurate enough, their huge number still caused hundreds of casualties to the intruders, which angered them even more.
So, he came desperately to kill.
At this time, after receiving the signal, Mingqi, who had come from afar, finally ran over. When he saw the intruders who were constantly attacking the grain team, he immediately screamed and killed them.
"No, I fell into a trap."
The intruder instantly repented, but it was too late, his tail had been bitten, and most of them escaped with casualties.
"good!"
Hou Gongji got off his horse and when he saw the injured auxiliary soldiers, he couldn't help but smile and said: "You are smart if you can think of ways to hold them back."
"I heard it was you?"
Wang Chunqing didn't expect to have a conversation with the deputy commander of the cavalry battalion, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "A humble position is nothing but cleverness, and should not be appreciated by the commander."
Hou Gong was stunned, you are so shameless, you will climb up the pole whenever you see it, when did I praise you?
He smiled and said: "Hahaha, can you ride a horse? If you can, then come to the cavalry camp from the auxiliary army!"
Wang Chunqing looked at the majestic cavalry, especially the beautiful chain armor, which made him drool with envy.
pity.
"Commander, I'm a humble person who doesn't know how to ride a horse..."
"It's okay!" Hou Gongji's expression instantly became much calmer.
However, his eyes were focused on the grain truck.
I saw that the mules were wrapped in straw, and their eyes and ears were blindfolded to prevent them from running around.
His real focus is only on the safe and sound food.
There were many torches on the ground, but strangely, very few grains and grass were lit, which made people confused.
Wang Chunqing saw the confusion in his eyes, and hurriedly bent down to lift up the grain and grass, only to see a layer of wet moss spread under the top layer of wet cloth bags.
Other gaps are also filled with moss.
It not only effectively separates wetlands and food, but also effectively prevents fire.
"good!"
Hou Gongji became more and more satisfied: "You are very smart. The cavalry battalion needs people like you."
"In this way, practice your riding skills more during these days. After the war, I will let you come to the cavalry camp."
"Little Wang Chunqing, thank you so much, General!"
Wang Chunqing shouted loudly.
Hou Gong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and left.
Of course he understood the intention.
This sound not only made people remember Wang Chunqing, but also spread his reputation among the entire auxiliary army.
When they returned to the camp after transporting grain, the middle-level officers of the auxiliary army came over one by one to patrol, intentionally or unintentionally, to inquire about their relationship with Hou Gongji.
Wang Chunqing pretended not to know and fooled him.
Hou Gongji was not a simple man. Not only was he the deputy commander of the cavalry, he was also from Yulin Town and had close relations with Liu Tingjie of Mingjie Camp and You Shiwei of Yulin Camp.
"I'm freezing to death, bring me the brazier!"
Taking off his wet shoes and socks, Wang Chunqing lit a fire. The low-quality coal was so smoky that it hurt the eyes.
"No charcoal?"
"It would be nice to have coal."
The big man lying down on the other bed closed his eyes and said, "It's snowing now, and each battalion is grabbing charcoal. If our auxiliary soldiers can get some leftover charcoal, it's up to the King of Yu himself to show mercy!"
Hearing this, Wang Chunqing's expression changed, his face full of curiosity and a bit of respect: "Old Wangtou, what do you think Prince Yu looks like? Is he eight feet tall?"
"What nonsense!" Lao Wangtou, as the general manager of the auxiliary barracks, was transferred from the personal barracks to the general position. It can be regarded as a high promotion, and the promotion intention is obvious.
A boss who is younger than Wang Chun is not the same either in terms of future or knowledge.
"Prince Yu, he has a face like a crown jewel and a handsome appearance. He usually acts like a young master. Once he gets angry, all the battalion commanders will shake like a sieve."
Lao Wang had a look on his face.
Hearing this, Wang Chunqing was fascinated and said curiously: "Mr. Wang Qian, you said that we have been trapped for more than half a month, with insufficient food and insufficient charcoal fire. The brothers are suffering very much."
"Moreover, the intruders continued to provoke, but we ignored them."
"Did King Yu have a plan in mind?"
"How do I know?"
Lao Wangtou's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't think that because you are in the limelight today, you can just mess around. I tell you, don't pry around in the army."
Wang Chunqing felt cold.
"In addition, I have already reported you for covering the grain truck with moss to prevent fire, and for holding back the intruder."
"Thank you, Mr. Qian." Wang Chunqing's heart warmed and she expressed her heartfelt thanks.
