In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and it gets dark very quickly. It doesn't take long for the sky to darken, and it gets dark very quickly.
However, God is not kind to us. The moonlight is bright tonight and the visibility is excellent.
The distance was not far, and it became extremely difficult for the Ming army to get rid of each other.
Zhu Yong complained endlessly in his heart, but he had no choice but to retreat desperately. The same was true for the soldiers of the Ming army. The disparity between the enemy and ourselves was too great. Even if they could not fight, they did not want to fight!
It's good to make meritorious deeds, but this time the risk is too great.
The entire Ming army, only Li Hong regretted it, and everyone else wanted to escape quickly.
"Commander, this is not the way to go!" Li Hong said quickly, "Look at this, they are resting during the day and marching at night. It has been more than half an hour, and their speed has not slowed down at all. We can't continue like this."
Li Hong had never been on the battlefield, but he often read military books and strategies, and he still understood the basic principles. He knew that if he continued like this, he would be overtaken sooner or later.
Because they didn’t get enough rest!
We can't go on like this. With our backs turned towards others, once we catch up, it will be a one-sided massacre.
What Li Hong understands, Zhu Yong naturally understands, and Zhu Yong understands it more thoroughly. He knows that even if he fights, the chance of winning is extremely slim, which is why he has been so difficult to decide.
But right now, it’s impossible not to make a decision.
"Xiao Li, go back to Yongqing Hou quickly, tell him the situation and ask him to provide quick support."
"I..." Li Hong looked at the vast land and said nonchalantly: "It's my first time out of seclusion. I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize the way!"
"Old Liu, come with him." Zhu Yong said to the soldiers on the side.
"Okay!" the soldier agreed.
Li Hong didn't want to just leave. It was so hard to meet him, but he hadn't shown himself yet.
"Chief Soldier, I am your personal soldier now, how can I abandon you?"
Zhu Yong was so anxious that he couldn't care less about his identity, "Stop talking nonsense and go back and report the message. Anyone who delays the military order will be executed without mercy!"
"……yes!"
Zhu Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In about two quarters of an hour, you will encounter a gradually rising terrain. The army will turn around there. You and Lao Liu will take the opportunity to bring dozens of soldiers and immediately break away from the large army and quickly Go get help.”
"Yes!" Li Hong and Li Hong responded in unison. In this case, there was no room for hesitation.
The war horses continued to gallop, but the speed had dropped a lot, mainly because the war horses had not slowed down yet, but the Mongolian horses still maintained a considerable speed, and the distance between the two sides, which was not far away, was slowly closing.
If this continues, will there still be time to withdraw and report... Li Hong felt uneasy and not optimistic at all.
Not only him, Zhu Yong's heart was also sinking, the situation was worse than expected.
But there was no better way at the moment. Zhu Yong could only issue military orders according to the predetermined plan to prepare the Ming army to be mentally prepared to defend against the enemy.
…
Two quarters of an hour is long, but short.
The Ming army stopped at the predetermined location, then turned their horses' heads, and the rear army became the front army. At the same time, Li Hong and his own soldier Lao Liu immediately took more than 30 soldiers and continued galloping.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was only about one mile, and the war was about to break out.
Without any hesitation, Zhu Yong issued a counterattack order to create conditions for Li Hong and others.
In fact, in the current situation, Zhu Yong has no hope. The purpose of doing this is just to give a warning to the Ming army and do his last bit.
If you want to talk about selfishness, it is true, in order to leave a good name for yourself and seek some benefits for your family.
'I thought the future was bright, but unexpectedly, as soon as the opportunity arrived, I would die on the battlefield...'
Zhu Yong sighed helplessly: "Damn, you are really unlucky."
"kill……!"
~
Li Hong took one last look at the army rushing out, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and slapped the horse's butt hard, "Drive~"
Hold on, you must hold on... Li Hong was so anxious that he wished he could grow wings from his side.
He has never fought in a battle, but he can still tell the general situation. With similar fighting strength, one thousand versus three thousand, the chance of survival is slim.
Zhu Yong and his group will most likely die in battle.
We have only been together for two or three days, but in this kind of collective life, it is easiest to cultivate feelings. Although these big-headed soldiers are rude and even a little vulgar, they are very cute.
Li Hong has already fallen in love with them. If he had a choice, he would rather not meet the prairie barbarians.
The sound of fighting could be heard faintly, and his heart ached. Regardless of whether the horse was tired or not, he waved the whip vigorously.
The others were just like him. Many of these rough guys were illiterate, but the love between soldiers in the army was as heartbreaking and painful as blood relatives.
At the same time, his hatred for the prairie barbarians deepened.
People have rich emotions, but horses do not. They are indeed tired. No matter how anxious Li Hong and others are, the speed still gradually slows down. gòйЪ.ōΓg
What made them even more desperate was that a group of hundreds of prairie cavalry emerged from the diagonal stab and were chasing them, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
"Mom, let's fight them!"
Li Hong was excited and wanted to fight.
But the soldier Lao Liu stopped him and said quickly: "Xiao Li, you retreat first, I will lead people to stop them."
"How can I escape alone?"
"It's already this time, what's the point of talking about this?" Lao Liu yelled anxiously, "Go back and tell the commander-in-chief. At the worst, you can also give a warning, so that the commander-in-chief can be prepared, and if possible, avenge us!"
Li Hong's eyes turned red: "We are all raised by our father and mother. I am no nobler than you. Besides, I can't remember the terrain. I'll stay and you go."
"Don't rob me!" Lao Liu said anxiously, "I am a soldier of Uncle Funing. According to Ming law, the general will die in battle. If the soldiers are unharmed, the soldiers will be beheaded!"
Li Hong hesitated: "Me too."
"You are different, oh..." Old Liu said quickly: "Xiao Wang, you and Xiao Li, the others, follow me to stop these barbarians."
"yes!"
Xiao Wang shouted: "Brother Li, this is not the time to be pretentious, hurry up!"
Li Hong felt sad and angry in his heart: How could this happen, why would it be like this?
At this moment he broke through the defense, which was completely different from what he imagined.
But...he had to accept it.
"Let's go!" Old Liu shouted to bring Li Hong back to reality. Li Hong didn't say anything, he immediately waved his whip and left the team again with Xiao Wang.
He cried.
He has not cried many times since he can remember, but this time it was particularly profound and will never be forgotten in his life.
"Drive~!"
Not caring about wiping his tears, Li Hong hurried on with all his strength. The horse still couldn't get up, but under Li Hong's torture, it reached the limit it could reach.
At this moment, he even wanted to abandon his horse and run away, but in the end he still retained a trace of reason.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats came again. The sound was not fast, but the number was quite large. It was estimated that there were hundreds or even thousands of people.
Li Hong looked miserable and couldn't help but cry out sadly: "He died before leaving the army, and the hero who led the army burst into tears...!"
Xiao Wang couldn't understand what he said, but he also heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. However, he and Li Hong were in completely opposite moods. He shouted excitedly: "Brother Li, this is one of our people, our reinforcements have arrived."
Li Hong was startled, and then he realized that the sound of horse hooves was coming from directly in front, and the prairie barbarians couldn't go around that far.
The grief and anger were instantly replaced by ecstasy, and Li Hong couldn't care less about the embarrassment and shouted: "I am the godson of Yongqing Hou, I am the godson of Yongqing Hou... We have encountered a large number of prairie barbarians, come to support! "
While patting the horse and moving forward, he shouted...
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Li Hong heard the feedback: "Stop shouting, I heard you."
Soon, he rode in the lead and approached quickly.
"F-godfather...?"
After seeing the person clearly, Li Hong's face was full of shock, and then ecstasy. Just when he was about to speak, tears burst out first, and he burst into tears.
Xiao Wang, on the other hand, reported the current situation in a concise and concise manner.
Li Qing made a quick decision and said with a melodious breath: "Array of sharp knives!"
The penetrating voice pierced the night sky, and Li Hong soon saw the crowds of people on the horse, and he didn't even need a herald to stop him.
Before he could recover, his godfather's voice sounded again: "You two change horses and lead the way."
"Yes!" Xiao Wang hurriedly handed over his hands: "I obey, little one."
"Ah yes!" Li Hong also reacted and quickly stepped forward to change horses.
After changing the horse, Li Hong quickly came to Li Qing and said in surprise: "Dad, why are you here?"
"I'm bored, let's go out to eat." Li Qing said naturally.
Li Hong pursed his lips, his vision blurred again. His godfather said it easily, but he knew...it was all for himself.
"Daddy...my child has embarrassed you."
"Yes... indeed." Li Qing said lightly, "Wipe away your tears and set off immediately."
"Hey, yes." Li Hong wiped his face with both hands, and before the sharp knife formation was set up, he asked: "How many troops does the godfather bring?"
"one thousand."
Li Hong said nervously, "There are three thousand enemies. According to General Zhu's words, there may be more in the future. We need to bring the news back quickly..."
"When I heard you shouting, I sent someone back for questioning." Li Qing glanced at him and said: "The more urgent the matter is, the less anxious it is. Being anxious will not solve the problem. You have to calm down."
Li Hong blushed.
As soon as he spoke, the array of sharp knives was ready, and Li Qing ordered: "Lead the way!"
…
A fierce battle broke out. The Ming army took advantage of the favorable geographical location and marched down the mountain with the tigers, advancing indomitably.
'Ding dong clang... puff puff...' The soldiers met each other, blood rain flew, and accompanied by 'Xi Lulu...' the horses neighed, and in just a moment, the intensity of the battle reached its peak.
The Ming army was walking downhill at a very fast speed. It condensed into a sharp knife and slammed into the prairie barbarians.
Although the Ming army was not as numerous as their opponent, at that moment, their lethality and power were more than twice their size.
The moonlight is bright and clear, and under the quiet moonlit night, there is incomparable hustle and bustle.
The sounds of fighting and screams, accompanied by the black-red liquid, staged a tragic and bloody drama.
The short-term advantage did not make Zhu Yong feel any better. He knew that it was only temporary.
He wiped the blood on his face and looked at the bright moonlight from the corner of his eye. He knew that such moonlight might never be seen again.
"Oh... I'm so unwilling!"
