Luo Guangen is not tall and looks very ordinary. It is difficult to imagine that he is the commander of the Cullen defense battle.
"I did my best in my humble duty." He said this in a hoarse voice after reporting the events of the battle, and then crossed his hands and saluted. His arm was still wrapped in gauze. It was said that some guy chopped up the iron arm guard and injured it there.
"General, you tried your best." Li Dan stood up and clasped his fists in return. This melancholy man made him awe-struck: "Although the general's men have suffered heavy losses, I will ask the Liao Guard to select soldiers as soon as possible to replenish your team."
Luo Guangen's class is equivalent to that of a guerrilla general in the mainland, and he has the authority to command nearly 6,000 troops.
However, Luo Guangen only defended Culun with 3,000 troops and lost all of them. Why didn't he put all his troops in the city?
According to him, when the city of Culun was built, it was used as a forward exit point. It did not consider its large scale, so it could only accommodate 3,000 people at most.
He went to contact the Seyan people who were guarding the city. They had received orders to retreat after handing over the city, but they still kindly pointed out some cracks and collapses in the city wall.
It was repaired too hastily at the time and then lacked maintenance. It would be great if someone could point it out. The guard respected these people for daring to face Kerr's army, and before leaving, he left behind some horses, fodder, and two hundred sheep. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to survive, and it would be impossible for anyone to escape.
Luo Guangen ordered the rest of the troops, led by his commander Li Jian, to stay fifteen miles away to provide support, but they were not allowed to go into battle or provide reinforcements without orders.
Therefore, he led the three thousand people to fight from beginning to end. In the end, only two hundred people rushed out to join Li Jian.
His unit was not short of many men, and it was slightly replenished before leaving. Therefore, only half of the full strength of 6,500 men was left.
After hearing Li Dan's words about replenishing his troops, the man couldn't bear it after thanking him. He covered his face with his hands and started sobbing.
"Please forgive me, Lord Governor, for being disrespectful of your position."
"I have also experienced battles and lost entire teams of brothers. I can understand the general!" Li Dan sighed heavily, thinking of the brothers who sacrificed their lives on the northern front to protect the prince of Fengning County during the retreat from Shangrao.
Luo Guangen raised his head in surprise. He didn't expect that this young military supervisor, who was rumored to be the emperor's new favorite and a new detective, had actually been on the battlefield? He was a little confused.
Li Dan saw this in his eyes, smiled and leaned forward, asking: "General, has your health recovered? Can you drive?"
"What military orders do you have, sir? Please tell me!" Luo Guangen responded with clasped fists.
"I'm going to take a peek at Kel's camp tomorrow. Maybe the general can accompany me?"
Luo Guangen was surprised and looked at the other people sitting next to him. Those who came with Li Dan included Zhao Jingzi, who was wearing a yellow belt. Opposite him sat a bald man called Monk Gao.
The smiling "Ugly Whirlwind" Duanfang and his white-faced brother sat across from him. The man next to him who was gearing up was Shi Dajun. On the other side of him were the "Leng Langjun" Gao Can who came in last, and the slender and cold-eyed Zhou Tu.
Next to Li Dan sat upright Yang Dayi, "Deputy Envoy of Review, Review, Town and Fu". The person behind Li Dan has half of his face covered, and you can see burns on the exposed part of his face. It is said that his surname is Yang, who is Li Jianjun's guard.
"How many people do you plan to order?" Luo Guangen asked blurtly.
"Ahem, why are you bringing so many people?" Shi Dajun waved his hands carelessly: "Well, we are enough!"
"Just, these are the ones in our tent?" Luo Guangen was surprised. Ten people strolling in front of someone else's camp, isn't this provocative? "My lord, please don't take any risks!" he quickly advised.
"Don't worry," Li Dan comforted him, pointing with his fingers: "He is following behind with my personal troops. With more than 300 cavalry following us, we can't suffer any loss."
"Hehe, that guy's nickname is 'Iron Wall'. He's not as thick as our stinky stone, but he's a martial artist and has a good way of leading troops!" Shi Dajun added.
Duan Yan and his brother had already been pardoned by the emperor and restored their honors due to their contribution to the city. Duan Yan was given a military qualification and the position of captain of Anren County. Hearing what Shi Dajun said, he cupped his hands and said:
” Dear brothers, please do
No matter where you go, you will feel at ease knowing that someone is there. I'm just afraid that Kelge won't dare to come out! "Everyone laughed and said that this kid is really crazy. Duan Fang patted his brother very proudly.
Luo Guangen thought to himself that he really didn't know where the Tanhualang found these "heroes", but they were obviously ruthless people who had been on the battlefield. As a general of the Liao army, of course he could not lose his courage, so he handed over his hands and said:
"Then tomorrow morning, Luo will bring his own soldiers and go with you!"
However, Ker's people are on both sides of the Liuhe River. The camp on the east bank is divided into two places. Outside the city of Shoerbu are tens of thousands of people who are lost. The other part is camped by Xinglong Haizi in the northeast. The general is Dili, the general manager. Missing. Where do you plan to go? "
Li Dan blinked: "Where is Bihan?"
"He's on the West Bank."
"What a pity! Then go and see Shuoerbu City from a distance first without disturbing them, and then move to Xinglong Haizi." Li Dan said.
Early the next morning, everyone set out, and Luo Guangen suddenly discovered the difference. The general's soldiers all rode horses, one man and two horses!
This is a rare sight in the border army. Luo Guangen couldn't help but look at it again and again, and asked Li Dan: "Sir, what is the other horse carrying on its back?"
"Armor, dry food and drinking water." Li Dan didn't hide anything: "It's not for fighting, but we have to be prepared. This is a war zone after all.
As for dry food, my soldiers are accustomed to carrying five to seven days' worth of dry food when they go out, so that they can survive independently in the wild if something unexpected happens. "
After he finished speaking, he took out an oil paper bag from his shoulder bag and handed it over: "Try the scallion oil biscuits produced in Shuntian. How do you like them?"
We are trying it out. If the brothers think it is good, we will ask the backend to start mass production. In this way, at least everyone doesn’t have to be jealous of the steamed rice. "
General Luo tore open the wax seal, took out a square piece, smelled it, put it in his mouth, and nodded for a moment: "Salty? Yes, it's delicious! If you can give this to your brothers, it will be worth a thousand words." Yu, are you afraid that you won’t be able to convince the three armies?”
Li Dan laughed loudly: "General Luo, isn't that just trying to be soft on others? How can I be truly convinced!" Luo Guangen also felt that he had said something wrong and apologized quickly in embarrassment.
Even the officers and soldiers of Luo Guangen's troops admitted that they were the most capable and daring team. Even though they suffered heavy losses, they still stood firm in Ma'anshan and were the vanguard of the army closest to the enemy.
The group of people marched twenty miles first and deployed the soldiers on Beacon Mountain.
Then under the guidance of several Ye Bushou, each officer took two retinues, and everyone came to Schorb City on horseback.
They did not get close and stopped about three miles away. Then Luo Guangen saw Li Dan and his men magically each taking out a metal tube from their satchels, closing their left eyes and looking towards the opposite side with their right eyes.
"Well, there are a lot of people. There must be tens of thousands of people, right?" Zhao Jingzi asked.
"Actually there are not that many." Luo Guangen replied: "There are auxiliary soldiers in the tent, and the real soldiers are less than half, only five thousand at most!
The number of them here a few days ago was more than double that of today, and they may have all retreated to the edge of Haizi. The remaining people just wanted to surround the city and prevent the people inside from coming out. "
"Oh?" Zhao Jingzi looked away from the telescope: "In other words, if we bully others into attacking, it is possible that the enemies on the west bank and Haizi will come over to attack us?"
Luo Guangen thought to himself that this yellow belt really had been in the war, and nodded and said, "That's right. Although the Liuhe River is not easy to cross, as long as the attacking troops are stuck, they still have time to cross the river and get behind the attackers. "
He couldn't help but asked: "Sir, what is this tube of yours used for?"
"Oh, this is a telescope, take a look?" Zhao Jingzi said and handed it over.
Luo Guangen took it in his hand doubtfully, and carefully learned to look at it. He was suddenly startled: "Oh, this is amazing!" Zhao Jingzi smiled, turned his head and talked to Li Dan in a low voice.
They watched for half a quarter of an hour. Li Dan ordered to go to Haizi to have another look. The whole team let go and trotted to the northeast for about a quarter of an hour. They saw a blue Haizi surrounded by Ao that covered the ground on the slope in front.
"Haha, people here
That’s a lot, it’s more than 30,000 yuan? ” Duanfang judged based on his previous experience.
"Your Majesty is right," replied a man next to him, "We have counted and estimate that there are about 37,000 people here. There is a smaller Haizi to the north, and there are thousands more people there. "
"Okay, this time we have to walk closer and take a closer look!" Li Dan said and dismounted: "Put on your armor and prepare for battle! Amao, come and help me wear the armor."
When they put it on, Luo Guangen was surprised again. Li Dan is fully armored with light, and wears a round hat with a padlock on the back, with polygonum-dyed bird feathers inserted into the top, and a deerskin-lined hat underneath.
There are double spears hanging on the belt outside the waist of the leopard skin guard, a short musket on each side of the saddle bag, and a crossbow and arrow box on both sides of the back of the saddle. He has now changed into Zao Liu. The horse is covered with a metal dandelion and breastplate, and a chain of fine armor hangs around its neck.
The whole team was like this, and they became murderous in an instant.
After they finished dressing up, they crossed over the ridges and woods and headed towards Kergo's camp. They formed a line on the road and walked forward calmly. Metallic light shone from time to time on each person's armor.
The Kergos didn't notice at first, but then someone saw and then heard shouts and people started to scatter in fear. There were no fences or trenches in this camp. It was as if they didn't expect anyone to boldly appear next to them.
However, their movements were not slow, and soon eight warriors rushed out on horseback.
"Gao Can, Duan Fang, let's deal with it." After Li Dan finished speaking, two horses quickly stepped forward to meet their opponents.
Luo Guangen turned his head nervously. He wanted to see if the enemy had arranged an ambush. When his eyes turned back, the two men had already returned to pay the order, indicating that these corpses were not enough to fill their teeth.
But this made Luo Guangen look at him with admiration. Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. With this ability, if you join Liao Town, why don't you immediately become the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief?
After muttering to Shi Dajun next to him, Shi Shi immediately rejected it: "Both of them have led more than 2,000 troops. The sentry commander is too low!"
At this time, more than a dozen horses came out from the opposite side. Shi Dajun immediately asked to go out to fight. After receiving permission, he rushed out with Zhao Jingzi and Yang Dayi. After a few encounters, he came back, muttering dissatisfiedly: "They are all small fish and shrimps." It’s boring, and I can’t help but fight!”
There were more and more corpses on the ground, and finally the other party paid attention. Hundreds of people lined up. Then a rider ran over, raised his right hand from a distance, and shouted in Chinese:
"My Lord Steward sent me to ask, which general is leading the army across the way, and what are you going to do?" There are only a few people, and they are so close, the messenger does not look like a messenger, and the attack does not look like an attack. To say that the scouts refused to stop at night, this courage was obviously not the same as the overwhelming martial arts! Kerr couldn't see the clues and was confused for a while.
"Do you have any tickets?"
