The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 248 Escort food and grass to settle the frontier army

Li Yunze failed to enter Chang'an City.

The reason is simple, the Western Army's traditional routine of pitting each other and despising each other.

Moreover, it is even more contemptuous to reveal that the identity is actually from the east and west of Beijing.

Yang Zhi, who was originally from the Western Army, knew all these rules and regulations, and stood aside and looked at Li Yunze worriedly, fearing that he would get angry and stir up trouble.

Xijun's teammates are not just talking, they are really cheating.

Moreover, they are guest troops, and if they clash with the Western Army outside Chang'an City, there will be no good results.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunze didn't respond at all, and directly led the team across Chang'an City to Fengxiang Mansion.

Li Yunze, who has always been narrow-minded, of course can't just let it go.

"Xin Xingzong, right? Just wait."

Li Yunze led his army across Xianyang, Lu Qishan, passed through Baoji, crossed Fengxiang and went straight to Qinzhou.

Along the way, passing soldiers and horses can be seen everywhere, civilians recruited, and various queues are pouring towards the north in an endless stream, which is obviously the rhythm of a big war that is about to start.

The so-called Qinzhou refers to Tianshui County in the Han and Tang Dynasties.The Qinfeng Road Transfer Envoy Office of the Song Dynasty is located here.

The transfer envoy is actually an official position in charge of wealth and supervision along the way.

With money bags in one hand and supervision in the other hand, its power is naturally self-evident.

Here in Qinzhou is the headquarters of food and salaries in the rear. There are so many people who come and go to and from soldiers and horses to transport food and grass.

Li Yunze handed over a letter and visited the door, but he didn't see the transfer envoy.

He only gave him a document, ordering him to supervise and escort a grain team to deliver grain and grass to the Dingbian army.

The transshipment envoy and Liang Zhongshu are good friends, and they will naturally help out Liang Zhongshu's request, but that's all.

It is enough to arrange a job and a seniority.Anyway, I will go back after the war.

Li Yunze didn't say much, and took the order documents to find someone to handle the matter, and then escorted a group of grain trucks with hundreds of grain trucks to Yongzhou, Weizhou, and Yuanzhou to enter the Yongxing Army Road.

After that, he passed through Huanzhou and joined the Dingbian Army.

This road is full of plateau landforms unique to the northern Shaanxi area. It doesn't look too high or steep, but it just stretches one after another, as if it is endless.

Such a terrain made the soldiers from Shandong feel strange at the beginning. They looked around and climbed up to play when they were resting.

But after half a month's journey, everyone was tired.

Tired.

After all, I have lived in the plains since I was a child, and I am really not used to this kind of place.

On the contrary, Li Yunze didn't care about it, and he was very familiar with the geographical environment here, and he was even able to accurately calculate the time required from one plateau to the next!

This really left Yang Zhi completely speechless.

"General." Yang Zhi couldn't help asking, "Could it be that you have been to northern Shaanxi?"

People who haven't been here, or even been here for a long time, don't understand this at all.

"Yeah." Li Yunze, who had been maintaining his mentality, nodded with a smile, "I've been here before."

Hearing this, Yang Zhi was relieved.

Before, he almost thought that Li Yunze was someone like Zhuge Wuhou, who could tell the environment, how to go, and how long it would take just by looking at the terrain.

If his intelligence is so similar to that of a demon, it is really unacceptable.

Going all the way across the ruins of the Great Wall of Qin, they came to a valley forty miles away from Hengshan Village, but they bumped into a broken soldier here.

Stopped the rout soldiers and asked, and learned that there was actually an iron kite from the Xixia people detoured from Shentangbao to attack the grain team of the Song army.

The iron kite was in the valley over the two plains in front, burning the grain and grass escorted by the soldiers.

Calculated according to the feet, it will come here in an hour at most.

"General."

Yang Zhi with an anxious look hurried forward, "It's better to retreat first."

"Retreat?" Li Yunze looked over with contemptuous eyes, "Where are you going to retreat?"

"Hengshanzhai is only forty miles ahead, and Tongsai Fort is only sixty miles behind." Yang Zhi was afraid that Li Yunze would not know the power of the iron kite, so he explained repeatedly, "The iron kite of the party dog ​​is all wearing heavy armor and can't stab. enter, and tie him to the horse with a hook and rope, even if he dies, he will not fall to the ground."

"No big deal, I did."

Yang Zhi was dumbfounded by Li Yunze's words, what do you mean by beating?
"You also know that the front and back forts are separated by dozens of miles." Li Yunze stretched his muscles and bones, "We may be able to escape quickly, but what should we do with so much food and grass?"

Hearing this, Yang Zhi was also stunned.

Yes, people can escape, but these hundreds of carts of grain and grass cannot escape.

They were supposed to escort food and grass, and if they lost the food and ran away, the result could only be to be engaged by military law.

In other words, both left and right are dead?
The soldiers and horses brought by Li Yunze were still relatively quiet, but the young men transporting the food and grass became noisy, and some even started to run away.

'Om~~~'

A sharp arrow roared out, precisely hitting the topknot of the fastest running Ding Zhuang, and directly piercing his bun.

"Fleeing!" Li Yunze, holding a bow and arrow, roared sharply, "Cut!"

Facing Chi Guoguo's threat, no one dared to run away, even the rout soldiers came to their senses and did not dare to continue running.

The end of their escape is also a dead end.

Li Yunze on horseback looked left and right at the terrain, dipped his fingers in his saliva, felt the direction of the wind, and finally his eyes fell on the hundreds of grain trucks.

"Yang Zhi."

"General?"

"Among the military supplies we transported, is there kerosene?"

"what?"

After more than an hour, the sun was westward.

The dull and dense sound of horseshoes resounded through the plain, and a team of about [-] Xixia iron kites came rumbling to this valley.

"General, there is a Song Renliang team ahead!"

"Don't shout." Wei Mingli looked at the Song people Ding Zhuang and the sergeant who fled in the distance, and sneered, "I saw it."

Wei Mingli is the son of Xixia Tieyao General Wei Yixuan, who is less than 20 years old this year.

He had been guarding the Xixia Emperor Li Ganshun before, and this time he was fighting the Song people, he also followed his father to the front line for gold plating.

During these days, he tried his best to persuade his father to give him the opportunity to send troops.

Finally, his father went to Yanzhou a few days ago, and Wei Mingli seized the opportunity, and immediately took his team's iron kite and went straight to the front line regardless of dissuasion.

Fortunately, he was not stupid, instead of rushing straight to the Song Army's heavily guarded defense line, he chose to take a detour to raid the Song Army's grain team.

In the past few days, he has raided several grain teams of the Song Army and gained a lot.

He also knew that this was the hinterland of the Song army. Once the Song army reacted to this dangerous place, it would be very dangerous.

So I have already made a decision to wait until tomorrow morning to leave for the return journey.

Now, the obviously terrified Song army ration team in front of him was his last battle in this attack.

I'm going home tomorrow.

Because of successive easy victories, the young Wei Mingli quickly swelled up, forgetting that the most important thing on the battlefield is to observe calmly.

He rode forward without hesitation, intending to find a place to rest after burning the food team.

Hundreds of iron kites followed closely behind.

Tie Yaozi is the elite of Xixia, and they are all composed of the sons and cronies of Dangxiang Qiang aristocrats and powerful chieftains, and they are all famous brave men.

This cavalry is well equipped and quick to move.Equipped with the best horses and the finest armor.Moreover, there are fine iron protective gears on the vital parts of the horses. During the battle, the knights are tied to the horses with iron cables, so that even if they die in battle, they will not fall off the saddle.

Their fighting will is firm and their fighting ability is extremely strong.The only downside is that the quantity is too small.

The entire iron kite army has a total of only 3000 people, divided into ten teams of [-] each.

If Wei Mingli's father hadn't been a general iron scorpion who had misrepresented Wei's name, it would have been impossible for him to command a team of iron scorpions at such a young age.

The Xixia cavalry rushed into the queue of grain carts, and dismounted casually, preparing to burn the grain and grass of these Song people.

"General!"

Some shrewd Xixia cavalry noticed something was wrong, "There is a problem with the placement of these grain carts!"

Hundreds of grain carts were arranged in a U shape, and the depression was large enough to accommodate all the iron kites.

"General!" Someone rushed over and shouted, "The grain truck has been doused with fire oil!"

There is naturally a lot of food for transporting food and grass, but there is still a lot of forage, which is used to feed the livestock in the army.

Other than that, almost everything is needed in the army.

From pen, ink, paper and inkstone to wood tools, from medicinal materials for tents to cloth and oil.

In the grain team escorted by Li Yunze, nearly half were fodder, and there were many sundries.

Wei Mingli also sensed that something was wrong, and hastily ordered, "Get on the horse quickly!"

When there was a panic, shouts came from the plains on both sides, and a large number of Song troops poured out from the hills.

As soon as they came up, hundreds of grain trucks were pushed down from the grain trucks, rolling and falling, blocking the U-shaped entrance.

Followed by the rockets released by the crossbowmen.

"Rush out, rush out!" Wei Mingli, who finally got on his horse, shouted loudly and waved his arms to greet his subordinates, "Rush out with me!"

Among the gradually rising flames, Wei Mingli, who was wearing a beautiful armor, was very conspicuous.

Li Yunze, who stepped down, saw him immediately.

Pause, bow, nock, aim, let go.

'whoosh~~~'

Amidst the sharp sound of piercing through the air, the sharp arrow shot by Li Yunze hit Wei Mingli's face with great precision!
Wei Mingli was wearing solid armor all over his body, but he didn't put down his lower armor at this time.

'Ah~~~'

The young General Dangxiang let out a scream, and fell limp from his horse.

He can never go home again.

The iron kites, who had lost their chief general, suddenly became more chaotic.

Among the food team escorted by Li Yunze, there were still a few carts of medicinal materials.

These medicinal materials were evenly distributed on the forage cart, and after being ignited, black smoke rose, and they followed the wind to cover the iron kites with their heads covered in iron armor.

Song soldiers with wet cloths on their faces swarmed up, the crossbowmen were in the back room, and the others were in front of the grain trucks with long spears and sticks to prevent the party members from rushing out of the fire circle.

People shouted and horses neighed, swords and swords flashed, and flames burned the sky!

After shooting all the sharp arrows in the quiver, Li Yunze stood on the half slope of the soil plateau, looking calmly at the party members who were gradually engulfed by the flames.

"Iron Harrier? Heh~~~"
