After the Battle of Songshan, Luo Zhixue personally led his troops to defeat the Ming army Fei Bingqing's command, and the battle was very successful.
By showing the enemy weakness in the early stage, they then used hidden artillery and archers to kill a large number of enemies, and finally the cavalry attacked to chase down the remaining soldiers.
Except for a few of the more than 200 Ming troops who fled into the mountains and forests in panic, the rest were either dead or wounded or surrendered and became prisoners.
The Ming army suffered about 20 casualties among soldiers and more than 40 county warriors. In addition, about 20 soldiers and hundreds of county warriors were taken prisoners.
In addition to killing and capturing many enemy troops, they also captured a lot.
Seized were more than 200 pieces of knives and spears of various types, more than ten pieces of ordinary cloth armor, three sets of high-quality cloth armor, and one set of fish scale armor.
A batch of baggage and a small number of mules and horses were also seized.
There are also a lot of other miscellaneous flags and other things.
It can be said that the supply battalion fought very well in this battle, directly annihilating more than 200 Ming troops led by Fei Bingqing.
But Luo Zhixue was not happy.
All this is not because of how many casualties our side suffered in the battle. In fact, our casualties were not that big, only about ten people were killed or injured.
What really made Luo Zhixue unhappy was the news that the main force of the Ming army was about to arrive.
From Fei Bingqing's mouth, I learned that their Ming army was just the vanguard, followed by more than a thousand main Ming troops led by Huang Guangmao and Wang Jida.
Among them were at least 250 soldiers, more than 300 county warriors, and hundreds of young and strong people.
Not to mention anything else, just the more than 250 soldiers were enough to worry Luo Zhixue. If the main force of the Ming army came to kill them, it was still a question whether they could withstand it.
It's just that although Luo Zhixue was worried, he didn't show it. Instead, he smiled happily as if he had won the battle.
After cleaning the battlefield that day, Luo Zhixue personally hosted a banquet in honor of An Yongduo, Zhang Malin and other team officers and commanders.
At the same time, it was also announced that there would be extra meals in the evening, not only rice and noodles, but also chicken, duck, pork and other meats, so that the soldiers could have a full meal.
On this night in the Songshan camp, more than two hundred soldiers from the People's Liberation Army camp had the most enjoyable dinner in recent months.
However, at the same time, Luo Zhixue quietly sent messengers to return to Sanshui Village urgently, not only to inform Xu He who stayed behind in Sanshui Village of the relevant situation, but also to wait until Sun Lili and others returned and informed Sun Lili of the news.
Counting the time, Sun Chengli and the others should be back too.
In fact, this was also the case. As soon as the sentinels sent back by Luo Zhixue arrived at Sanshui Village, Sun Chengcheng and the others came back.
But what Luo Zhixue didn't expect was that the returning messenger told him bad news.
Luo Zhixue frowned and asked his messenger seriously: "Are you sure the general is seriously ill?"
The messenger said: "Yes, this is not a secret. When I returned to Sanshui Village, I heard that the general fell ill on the way back to Sanshui Village. He was carried back by others when he came back. of."
"When the younger one went to report the matter, the general was still lying down and looked very ill."
"I haven't found out what the illness is."
Is Sun Chengli seriously ill?
Luo Zhixue frowned!
This is not exactly good news.
Now thousands of Ming troops are about to attack, but Sun Chengli, who is the backbone of the Funiu Mountain Baoxiang camp, is seriously ill. This not only means that he may not be able to lead the army to reinforce Songshan Village in person, but more importantly, it may lead to the loss of Baoxiang. Unrest within the camp.
Luo Zhixue has not forgotten that when they broke through the Ming army's siege half a year ago, the death of Li Tonglin directly led to internal changes. In the end, Sun Chengli succeeded in taking power with the support of Luo Zhixue and others. However, despite this, there were many casualties. Elite, leading to a further decline in the strength of these people.
Later, when they took up residence in Sanshui Village, they cultivated themselves and recruited troops under the leadership of Sun Lili. Luo Zhixue also established a supply camp with the support of Sun Lili, and took charge of the camp and supplies affairs, gaining his own direct power.
If Sun Chengli is seriously ill and unable to support affairs, or even dies directly, then their group of rebels, who have finally regained their development path, will once again face an uncontrollable crisis.
Although Luo Zhixue also thought about parting ways with Sun Lili that day, or replacing him, he never thought it would be so soon.
According to his vision, he would continue to grow and develop under Sun Chengli, further expand the scale of the supply camp, train several close generals, and then plan to stand on his own or replace him after he has enough power under his control.
But, definitely not now!
At least he didn't have this idea before Sun Chengli came back.
Although Luo Zhixue now has a supply camp, the quality of this supply camp is very average. The thirty people who have been trained the longest have only trained for more than two months, and the others have only trained for a month or even half a month. About a month.
Today's supply camps alone are not enough.
Because the core combat force in today's Baoxiang camp is still Sun Chengli's direct pro-army force, the more than 60 elite cavalrymen are the core force of their anti-thief force.
As for this pro-army, Wang Xiazi is nominally the sentry officer, but Wang Xiazi does not actually have the power to command the pro-army.
The personal army has always been under the personal control of Sun Chengli, and several of the chiefs were from Sun Chengli's personal soldiers. Wang Xiazi, the sentry officer, could not bypass Sun Chengli and directly command the other chiefs.
The key thing is that Luo Zhixue doesn't have a good relationship with Wang Xiazi and the other five chiefs.
After all, those six people were Sun Chengli's confidants, so Luo Zhixue wouldn't be able to just go up and try to win over them in normal times.
Even though Luo Zhixue and Wang Xiazi usually have more contact, it is because both parties are Sun Lili's confidants and have many things to contact.
In other words, once Sun Chengli changes, Luo Zhixue is not sure of directly controlling the pro-army.
And this is fatal.
If Luo Zhixue said that he would not care about the pro-army and take the baggage battalion by himself, then Luo Zhixue would not be willing to let it go, let alone be willing to do so.
After all, no matter from the perspective of combat effectiveness or importance, the other three armies of the left, center and right plus the supply battalion are actually not as important as this pro-army.
Of course, now, in addition to the more than a hundred people in the supply camp, Luo Zhixue also has sixty or seventy old thieves who were originally under the command of Tiantianhu.
Some of these old thieves who could ride and shoot were added to the Guards, allowing the Guards to expand into a cavalry team of about thirty people. The remaining thirty or so people were organized into the Fourth Infantry Team, which was hung on the baggage train. At the bottom of the camp.
However, these old thieves seem to be usable for the time being, but no one knows when they will run away, or even give Luo Zhi a lesson with a backhand.
After all, when they came from Sanshui Village to Songshan Village, more than 20 old thieves became deserters.
Now Luo Zhixue relied on having plenty of food as an inducement, and using the on-the-spot execution of deserters as a deterrent, so that the remaining 60 or so old thieves did not have another large-scale escape.
But in the future, who knows.
Under the current situation, once Sun Chengli dies of illness, Luo Zhixue is not absolutely sure that he can succeed Sun Chengli and then inherit the entire Baoxiang camp, especially the indispensable cavalry force of the pro-army.
In addition to internal troubles, what worries Luo Zhixue even more is that if Sun Li is here, they can form a rope to fight against the Ming army.
Once Sun Chengli dies of illness, how can they unite to fight against the Ming army?
You know, there are thousands of Ming troops outside heading towards Funiu Mountain.
Luo Zhixue, who was worried, sent additional sentries to monitor the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers outside the mountain. At the same time, he also sent Anyongduo back to Sanshui Village. In addition to paying close attention to the news in Sanshui Village, Anyongduo's task also required him to communicate with Wang The blind man and others are better off.
Luo Zhixue is preparing for subsequent changes.
If possible, he would still try his best to win over Wang Xiazi and other small pro-army leaders.
Just like when he accompanied Sun Chengli to fight for Lin Dongsheng, Wang Dazhuang, Xu He and other three people.
But just two days after Anyongduo set off, Luo Zhixue met the people sent by Sun Chengli and brought Luo Zhixue Sun Chengli's latest order.
Sun Chengli asked Luo Zhixue to closely monitor the movements of the army and build a defense line in Songshan to prepare for war with the army.
At the same time, he will personally lead his troops south to reinforce Songshan Village.
Sun Chengli wants to personally lead troops to reinforce Songshan Village?
Didn't it mean that he was seriously ill and bedridden? How could he still lead the army in person?
Could it be that he is recovering from his illness?
A few days later, Luo Zhixue knew that Sun Chengli's illness was not cured!
Because Sun Chengli came not on horseback or on foot, but in a pair of two bamboo sedans.
Just like when he returned to Sanshui Village from the west, he was carried here, and Sun Chengli's face was very bad, and his whole body was unusually swollen, and his hands looked smaller than before. .
Just by looking at Sun Chengcheng's appearance, Luo Zhixue knew that he was definitely seriously ill, and there was a high probability that it would be incurable in this era. It would be much more fatal than a cold or the like.
At first, Luo Zhixue thought that Sun Chengcheng had caught a cold by chance. After all, it was written like this in novels, movies, and TV dramas. Although wind-cold can be fatal if not treated well, it can be dealt with if the body is better and can be treated with the right medicine. past.
But I didn't expect it to be so serious.
Sun Chengli, who was carrying the sedan, squinted and saw Luo Zhixue's serious look, and immediately said: "Don't look like that, I'm not dead yet."
But the voice of these words was much softer than usual, and seemed weak.
Luo Zhixue took a step forward and said: "General, we are on the front lines of the war. You have to recuperate now, so why are you running around in person!"
Sun Chengli wanted to wave directly, but his movements were very slow, and he continued to say feebly: "You are so sick."
He paused for a while and then said: "I know I won't be able to survive this time. I've been feeling very uncomfortable these days. I almost killed myself with a knife last night!"
"Damn it, I finally took charge of the family, grabbed the territory of Funiu Mountain, recruited hundreds of people, and had talented people like you, Mr. Luo, to assist me. It's time to do something big, but God doesn't give face!"
"You bastard, this thief is playing tricks on me!"
"But death is death. At most, many people will die in the sky. But even if I, Sun Mazi, die, I will either die in my old house or die on the battlefield."
"I can't go back to my hometown in Yulin, so I can only die on the battlefield."
Sun Chengcheng said these words intermittently for a long time. After finishing speaking, his breath became weaker.
At this time, Sun Chengli raised his head and stared at Luo Zhixue with squinted eyes: "Brother Luo, will you go to Yulin in the future?"
