Chapter 2345 The dream of life (plus more)
In Sichuan and Shu, there are many trees, bamboo forests and shrubs everywhere. These forests and bamboo forests are all of a long history. Even in the era when human beings invaded many areas of nature in later generations, there are still some places that once entered, it is very difficult to get out.
Near Zitong, there are many forests on both sides of the official road.
The sun gradually rose, and the mist in the forest also gradually dissipated. Li''s private soldiers waited lying behind the trees and shrubs, somewhat nervous.
Li Bo changed out of his Confucian robe and put on a short jacket. The long sword he had worn before was still placed in front of him. Although Li Bo seemed to be full of confidence at the moment, he was actually a little nervous like ordinary Li''s private soldiers.
There are good things at home, but the thief misses them, what will you do?
The most common way to deal with it is to hide in another place.
There are defenders in Zitong City, so it will undoubtedly be more difficult to attack by force, and penetration and destruction may not be effective, just like the chaotic farce of rangers last night. The only function of those rangers is to tell the city guard in Zitong that the grain and grass in his city are being targeted by thieves...
There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?
If you want to avoid bad luck for your own food and grass, you have to wipe out all the "thieves" around, but after the Li family''s private soldiers can''t be found at the joint locations that the rangers confessed, there is a great possibility that the guards in Zitong City will Transfer the food and grass to Xu Shu''s army.
Put it in the city, if something happens, I will be unable to eat and go around, or even lose my head because of it, and transfer it out. That is the responsibility of others and has little to do with myself.
Simple deduction simulation.
Through this method, the risk of attacking Zitong by force is avoided, but the food transport team that is automatically sent from Zitong to the front can be ambushed...
Li Bo felt that his palms were sweating, so he couldn''t help reaching out and grabbing the loess in front of him, rubbing it slightly. Although he said before that he was heroic, in fact, he has not experienced a few times when he actually went into battle with real swords and guns. The last time was during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I ran with the large army for a while, and then the battle ended.
Li Bo thought his actions were concealed, but in the eyes of Li Shi, who was on the side, it was very obvious.
Not to mention Li Bo, among those private soldiers who followed Li Shi, how many of them have actually fought in battle?
Among the 200 or so people in ambush, in Li Shi''s opinion, there are no more than ten truly brave people, and the rest are all county soldiers, even tenants, farmers, and wandering around with so much strength. son. These people either received Li''s favor, or because they believed certain rumors, or simply for the sake of money, they gathered together scatteredly.
Fortunately, today is the guarding and food transport team ambushing Zitong. If they really face those strong soldiers under the hussars, there will be a few fewer people after lying down for a while. When they really come, there will not be many people left.
Fortunately...
Xu Shu himself was in a daze, and he either took away or sent out the soldiers who were able to recruit good fighters. The time difference now is just right.
Li Shi looked back, basically trembling everywhere his eyes went, and even a few guys hugged the tree roots, as if they were holding his sweetheart, and curled up together, Li Shi even suspected that this Does the guy cramp with nervousness, can he stand up when he really wants to charge?
Hey, it''s not bad if I didn''t burst into urine on the spot...
Li Shi can only comfort himself in this way.
These private soldiers of the Li family were not considered fighters at all in the past. Even after temporarily practicing with Li Shi for a while, they still seemed very nervous and had little experience. Perhaps, after this battle, it will be better!
Li Shi has a dream, because he lives under the fence, he will always be the servant of others. Although Li Shi will be very polite when he is needed by others, and he will talk nicely, but in fact he still only regards himself as a sword and gun That''s all, otherwise people like Li Bo wouldn''t have been sent here.
At that time, Li Shi’s grandfather felt that joining the Li family was an honor, and Li Shi’s father felt that being in the Li family was a necessity, but when he came to Li Shi’s area, he felt that it might not be a kind of luck.
Li Shiyin had also vaguely heard some of the propaganda of General Hussars, and even the deeds of Generals Hussars himself, sometimes knocking on Li Shi''s heart when he returned from his dream.
Li Shi has a dream and a hope in his heart.
Back then, he was a junior from a side branch of Heluo, but now he is a hero with power over the world...
What about yourself?
Perhaps this time, as long as he has done meritorious service, he will get his slave status back when the time comes by rewarding...
After repaying Li''s kindness, can I take my baby to the Western Regions? I heard that there is a shortage of people, soldiers, and masters over there, and they have worked hard for ten years so that their own children will no longer be like themselves, and everyone will bow their heads when they see it!
Li Shi took a deep breath, and then sent someone to pass on the message: "Listen carefully, this battle is like training, so-and-so goes first, and you follow behind!" Just follow along! 』
In history, there are also many strong soldiers in Sichuan and Shu, such as Bailu soldiers and Wudang Feijun. But it is a pity that the Baimu soldiers were born out of the "Western Army Soldier", while Wudang Feijun is a barbarian army gathered after the Southern Expedition, and has little to do with Li''s private soldiers.
As for Li Shi himself, it can be said that he is the strongest among Li''s private soldiers.
Hope everything goes well...
At this time, some small sounds came from a distance and reached Li Shi''s ears.
He immediately looked serious, "Here we come!" 』
…(`dish)…
Lies are told too much, just like the truth. Just like Li Miao in Chengdu, he felt that he was really cleaning up the corrupt officials and putting down the rebellion for Hussar General Fei Qian.
『For the great cause of hussars! 』
『Eliminate the officials in Sichuan and Sichuan! 』
『For the future of Sichuan and Shu! 』
『Chuanshu will be better tomorrow! 』
Countless slogans resounded like the sky.
Such a situation has left some people in Sichuan and Sichuan at a loss...
Could it be that this Li family is really for the good of Sichuan and Shu?
For the working people at the lowest level, they are more concerned about whether there is food to eat. As for the managers above their heads, as long as they are not completely oppressed, they generally seldom pay attention to it, and they don’t have the heart to pay attention to it. Daily life has already consumed most of their energy and physical strength, and no matter how much politics is talked about, it is not as practical as improving their living conditions.
So in fact, Li Miao''s behavior of hooking up was aimed at these middle-class people in Sichuan and Shu, that is, the general local big families of Sichuan and Shu gentry.
The Li family of Guanghan is just the Li family of Guanghan.
Now if things come true, as Li Miao planned, then Li can become a salt bearer in Sichuan and Sichuan. Whether it is well salt or rock salt, he will have the capital to sit down and talk with Huqi.
At least, Li Miao himself thinks so. After all, in the history of Sichuan and Shu, from the Spring and Autumn period, to the former Qin Dynasty, to the Han Dynasty, they can all be discussed, and sometimes they can be discussed from a certain advantage. Therefore, now Li Miao was trying to delay the time as much as possible, and then tied more and more people from Sichuan and Sichuan to him...
At the same time, Li Shi in Guanghan has already made two-handed preparations.
When things are done, Li Miao is the newest patriarch of the Li family, leading the entire Li family to an unprecedented glory, but once it fails, the Li family will immediately declare that Li Miao is a traitor to the family, and everything is wrong. Li Miao acted boldly by himself, put the name of having done bad things for Huqi''s good intentions to avoid lightning, and immediately cut his flesh and stood.
Li Miao stood outside the government office in Chengdu, like a master, smilingly greeted the gentry and natives of the Sichuan and Shu tribes who came from the surrounding area one after another, and the Liu family flag was erected again beside the tricolor flag. Floating up and down, it looked a little weird, making everyone who came here stunned for a moment.
『Brother Zhang, are you safe? 』
『Ah, Chen Xiandi, long time no see! 』
『Leader Lan, I haven’t seen you these days, I feel more and more energetic! 』
Compliments and greetings, true or false, are floating around. If it weren’t for the bloodstains on the streets that haven’t been cleaned up, and the broken eaves and walls in some places in the city are still emitting a little black smoke, it’s hard to say that some people would think that everything has recovered. normal.
Liu Zhang sat upright in the middle hall, wearing a brocade robe, with a solemn expression, watching people pass by him one by one, paying homage, as if he had returned to the time when the Liu family controlled Sichuan and Shu, but he did not realize that he is now In fact, the appearance is not much different from the wooden statues in the temple.
…(*^__^*)…
In the distance of the official road, the sound of wheels, footsteps, and the neighing of cattle and horses gradually came!
Li Shi hurriedly waved his hands behind him, telling people to lie down again, so as not to show his flaws, while he carefully lay down in the grass under the forest, motionless, only staring at the distance with his eyes.
Not long after, I saw some dust on the road that was originally empty. Immediately, four horses opened the way, two by two pulled back and forth. Lightly armed cavalry sat on the horses, turning their heads to look at the road vigilantly from time to time. situation on both sides.
About a hundred steps further back, there is a convoy of oxen and horses that forms a long snake. It is roughly estimated that there are nearly a hundred vehicles, so that the distance between the front and rear of the entire convoy is very large.
Beside the baggage vehicles, most of them were civilians wearing coarse clothes, but there were not many soldiers in charge of guarding and guarding, and there were even a few soldiers carrying spears, who seemed to be talking cheerfully. Unaware of the impending danger...
Li Shi stared at the delivery trucks. It seemed that there were indeed bags of grain in sacks on those vehicles, and the wheels creaked under the pressure. There are some rough drafts in front of each cart, probably to be taken along the way to feed the cattle and horses that pull the cart.
Everything is normal.
Everything seems to be expected.
Li Bo seemed to move a bit, Li Shi quickly stretched out his hand to hold him back, if not for the fear of being discovered by the cavalry in front, Li Shi would even have wanted to scold Li Bo and give Li Bo two slaps...
Haven’t entered the ambush circle yet, what a mess!
Li Bo finally came to his senses, turned his head, showed a little embarrassed smile, and then shrank back together with Li Shi. Just now Li Bo didn''t want to rush forward, but the main reason was that it finally came true as he had planned, and when it came true bit by bit, he couldn''t suppress the excitement in his heart, and his body twitched uncontrollably...
Thirty steps, twenty steps, ten steps, the team seems to be walking along the official road without any defense.
Just when Li Bo watched the front of the convoy pass by under his eyes, and then wondered why Li Shi didn''t start, he heard a loud cry from around him, and he was startled, and his sphincter loosened a little...
『Kill! 』
As the voice fell, Li Shi was the first to rush forward just as he had promised to everyone earlier.
『Kill! Go! 』
Li Bo also quickly grabbed the long sword, jumped up, and shouted, trying to draw the long sword, but for some reason, the long sword, which was originally smooth in daily life, seemed to be rusted and stuck. not come out! And because Li Bo ran too fast, his mind was on the long sword again, he didn''t pay attention to the bottom of his feet, stepped on a stone, slipped under his feet, and fell a dog eating shit...
And just when Li Bo felt that he had fallen and lost face, he suddenly discovered that those "citizens" who were supposed to be panicked and panicked, and "labourers" who should be running around and hiding, were not panicking at this moment. , but immediately gathered in groups of three or four to the side of the baggage cart, and then quickly pulled out the weapons hidden inside from the drafts in front of the cart!
Almost at the same time, amidst the sharp whistling sound, some blankets covering the baggage car were lifted, revealing the hidden soldiers inside. They squatted or half-kneeled, and held up the stringed crossbows in their hands. machine!
『No good, I was fooled! 』Just as this thought broke out in Li Bo''s mind, he saw that the crossbowmen in the car had already pulled their hanging knives at Li Shi and others who were rushing towards the convoy!
Accompanied by the sound of the bowstring, the sharp whistling sound was followed by the dull sound of sharp weapons entering the body, followed by the clumsy sound of falling to the ground.
Li''s private soldiers who rushed forward fell down in a blink of an eye!
This is a trap!
When Li Shi took the lead and rushed out, he understood that those were not the so-called "citizens" at all. After being attacked, they lined up to resist in an orderly manner. The flawless formation showed that these were well-trained soldiers !
"This is impossible! 』
Soon Li Shi realized that when they were leaving the city, these civilian husbands should still be civilian husbands, but when the post station on the way was repaired, they were replaced! But Li Shi was still happy at that time, thinking that these convoys were simply too "caring" and gave them enough time to ambush. Now that I think about it, these guys are afraid that they will not get the news, so they are deliberately delaying the trip!
Li Shi was lucky enough to escape the first wave of shooting, but he found that several of his subordinates fell to the ground, screaming and moaning, or lost their breath in an instant...
Li Shiji screamed and waved his hands, but he was not shouting to charge, but wanted to make everyone turn around and evacuate quickly!
In the chaos, these private soldiers can''t be like regular soldiers. Even if someone heard and saw Li Shi''s new order, most of them couldn''t react, just like a computer running a program ten years ago. to crazy. Some private soldiers in the back didn''t even know what happened in front, they still yelled and rushed forward to die.
Especially the ambushing private soldiers on the other side of the convoy, who were also rushing forward screaming...
The result was naturally without any suspense, and the well-trained soldiers were attacked by mobs. These private soldiers who rushed in in a mess had no chance of winning, and were quickly surrounded by crossbowmen on the car and guards under the car, and their lives were harvested. The effect is to temporarily divert the attention of the soldiers in the convoy, and give Li Shi and others a little time to escape.
But the soldiers of the convoy quickly caught up. The soldiers with shields were in front, and those with crossbows were behind, biting Li Shi and others tightly, preventing them from leaving the battlefield smoothly.
So Li Shi could only take the remaining men, fighting and retreating among the forests and bushes.
Aside from the battle, Li Shi also caught a glimpse of Li Bo''s swaying figure...
Of course, just saw a back.
Phew!
After all, he is still a Confucian scholar!
On weekdays, the big talk is loud, but now that I really saw life and death, I left those rhetoric and Li Shi, who was struggling, and rushed into the woods...
Li Shi secretly sighed in his heart, but his hands were not slow at all. A soldier pretending to be a civilian husband rushed towards him with a knife and slashed it down. Hot blood spattered on his face.
Because they have to pretend to be civilians, these soldiers do not have armor, making the defense weaker.
Even if Li Shi is more brave, this kind of dense forest area is also helpful for escaping, but after all, the overall combat ability is quite different. Except for people like Li Shi, who can resist twice, the rest of Li''s private soldiers It was hard to resist at all, and even Li Shi was gradually entangled while beating and running, and when he found out, he was already faintly surrounded!
"broken! 』
Li Shi struggled to rush towards the direction where there were fewer people on the side, trying to escape the encirclement, but he only took two steps. I don''t know if it was because the wound on his body lost a lot of blood, or he was exposed to the gap for too long. , A crossbow arrow flew out from the forest and stuck in Li Shi''s leg, which immediately made Li Shi stand unsteadily and fell to the ground.
Several soldiers surrounded him cautiously.
『Yao’er, Daddy can’t help you anymore! I hope you can think of your father... I hope you can walk out of the mountains and look like a human being...』
Li Shi struggled, and then saw the blood-stained cold light falling down...
…╭(╯^╰)╮…
『Everyone! Everyone! 』
『I am not talented, but I still have a dream, a hope! 』
Li Miao stood in the hall, elegant and gentle.
Although Liu Zhang is sitting at the top, it looks like a background painting, and standing in front of the background painting is Li Miao, which attracts the attention of most people.
『Chuan Shu, the Chuan Shu of Sichuan and Shu people! 』
『In ancient times, when the people of Sichuan governed Sichuan, gold was everywhere and the barn was full of rice! After the Warring States period, Jingchu coveted the richness in central Sichuan, and fought many times, and there was a fake golden bull from the former Qin Dynasty who occupied Chengdu...』
『Own Han, Sichuan and Shu officials are all expatriates. Firstly, they don’t know the local customs, and secondly, they don’t care about the common people and elders! They only know how to collect money and poison the local people! Although there are hussars who are kind to Sichuan and Shu, their subordinates have not respected their wishes! Reckless, nepotism! Persecute Zhongliang and control the place! 』
『Today’s incident is neither seeking power nor profit, but to seek the well-being of the people of Sichuan and Shu for a lifetime! Ask the people of Sichuan and Shu to show their strengths! Seek the future of Sichuan and Shu, rich and strong people! 』
Li Miao raised his hands high, looked up at the sky, tears welled up in his eyes, "Even if a certain person is close to death, it doesn''t matter!" 』
