Datang New Order

Pieces of corpses were lying on both sides of the river for tens of miles, everywhere in the field and in the river canals.The broken battle flags were stuck obliquely in the soil, and the fragments of the shafts could be seen all over the ground.Most of the corpses had their armor stripped off, and they were lying naked on the ground. It could only be distinguished from the shattered light yellow cloth pieces still remaining on a few corpses that most of them belonged to Lu Longjun.The crows in the sky rose and fell from time to time, hovering over the wilderness, picking up the carrion from the corpses bit by bit, and at the same time making the scalps of the Youdu brothers numb.

Li Chengzhong led everyone to walk slowly along the river bank. A tragic and tragic emotion stirred in everyone's hearts. Everyone was shocked by this scene, and no one had the strength to speak.

After traveling for several miles, Youdu found a person on the embankment.The man sat among the corpses on the embankment, with his back to the group, and seemed to be eating something.Li Chengzhong made a gesture, everyone dispersed, and quietly surrounded the man.As they got closer, the man came to his senses and got up abruptly, holding a piece of blood-soaked bread in his hand.

This scene left a very deep impression on the Youdu brothers. The story of this civilian husband named Zhong Silang eating bloody noodles among the corpses was widely circulated in Li Chengzhong's army, and finally evolved into Zhong Silang eating The terrifying legend of the dead body can even stop children from crying at night for the next ten years.Of course, Zhong Silang didn't know what was going to happen in the future, and it was even more impossible for him to know that there would be a figure like himself handed down in history books from now on.

At this moment, Li Chengzhong was indeed a little sad. Looking at the little man in ragged clothes and the blood-red pancake in his hand, he could only sigh.He ordered Zhao Da to pass over a piece of jerky, and the little Zhong Silang took it hesitantly, and then looked at the bread in his hand, as if he was reluctant to throw it away.Zhao Da handed over another piece of fresh bread, Zhong Silang finally discarded the bread, and began to gnaw meat and bread.

Zhong Silang was among the first to leave Weizhou with the Minfuying supply team. When Bianjun and Wei Bojun pursued and killed him, he did not run around, but followed the banner of the Lulong Army's Central Army and fled.For the pursuit of the Lu Long Army brigade, the Bian Army cavalry adopted a piecemeal tactic with great experience. They rushed to the Lu Long Army's rear team, each time dividing hundreds of soldiers who fled to the end, and then annihilated them.After the Bianjun and Wei Bojun brigades caught up, they caught up with Lu Longjun again and continued to divide.

In the process of escaping, you don't have to run faster than the pursuers, you just need to run faster than your companions.Although Zhong Silang was short in stature, he ran with great stamina. He always ran among the Lu Long Army brigade and did not fall behind, thus avoiding the bad luck of being slaughtered.However, escaping the pursuit of Bian Jun and Wei Bo Jun was not enough. When Zhong Silang fled to Yongji Canal with the Lu Long Army Brigade, he encountered robbers who robbed him halfway.

The name of the bandit is "Cheng Dejun", and the name of the bandit leader is Wang Rong.Chengde Army was originally one of the three strong towns in Hebei, but unfortunately, when Wang Rong came to power, he was surrounded and suppressed by Hedong in the west, Weibo and Xuanwu in the south, and Lulong in the northeast. It hasn't been good for two years.Originally, the Chengde army was attached to Hedong, but later the Hedong army was defeated by Liu Rengong, so in the past two years, it turned to Lulong army.This time Liu Rengong went south, Wang Rong did not accompany him for various reasons, and Liu Rengong didn't take it seriously. With the strength of Chengde army, Lu Longjun really didn't pay attention to it. Liu Rengong even thought it was good. After annexing Wei Bo Then there is no need to divide the territory for Wang Rong.

But now that Lu Longjun has been defeated, it is indeed a common practice in this era to take advantage of others.So Cheng Dejun played his cards as usual, and stabbed the defeated Lu Longjun severely from the stomach and back.Although they were defeated and fled before, the elite of the Lulong Army's central army, which still maintained the organizational system, was completely disintegrated by this knife.

Zhong Silang was more clever. He hid under the embankment, covered himself with dead bodies, and then lay there without running around. He escaped from the battlefield when Cheng Dejun chased Lu Longjun far away.After leaving the battlefield, Zhong Silang wandered around the nearby villages, looking for something to eat, but the Chengde army did a good job in killing people and looting goods. There was no one in the vicinity for tens of miles, and all the villages were ransacked.Zhong Silang wandered around for two days and found nothing, so he had no choice but to come back here again to see if he could find something.But he was still very disappointed. When the Chengde army cleaned the battlefield, they even took away the clothes of the dead soldiers. How could they leave food for him?In the end, all they could find were a few flatbreads soaked in blood.

The above is the whole story. After Li Chengzhong asked, he sighed, but the Youdu brothers had already blown their lungs.Everyone cursed Cheng Dejun and Jiedu envoy Wang Rong, and even Wang Rong's ancestors who couldn't remember clearly were in bad luck.Zhou Chopper was so angry that he hopped and scolded Cheng Dejun, and finally pointed at Wang Dalang's nose and said, "You Shenzhou people are all white-eyed wolves!"

Wang Dalang became anxious on the spot, and said angrily: "Not all people from Shenzhou are from Chengde Town, some are from Lulong Town! Zhou, you don't want to rant!" The southwestern part belonged to Chengde's army, Zhou Chopper was confused, and didn't know how to distinguish this aspect. Now that he was in a hurry, he couldn't help venting his anger on others.

Zhang Xingzhong is an old expert in this field, he frowned and said: "The commander-in-chief is also from Shenzhou, but he may not be from Chengde Town."

Zhou Paidao came to some understanding, knowing that he was wronged, but he had nowhere to vent his anger, facing Wang Dalang's glaring stare, he could only pretend he didn't see it, and just let out a "hum" in his nose.

Anger is anger, and everyone knows that at this moment, they can only vent verbally. As for whether they can avenge this revenge in the future, no one has any idea.

This time Lu Longjun was completely hurt. Tens of thousands of brothers died on the road to the southern expedition, and I don't know how many years it will take to recover.In particular, the death of many armies such as the Marshal Yanei Army, Baduqi, Shanhouzi, Yinhuludu, etc., caused Lu Longjun's elite to almost lose all.From the perspective of Zhang Xingzhong, a son of a family of generals who knows some inside information about the army, Lu Longjun has no more troops that can go into battle. "The misery.

After searching around, Youdu was disappointed to find that Cheng Dejun had indeed cleaned it up very cleanly, and the only thing left on the ground was rags.Except for the armor and clothes, there are not any intact knives and guns left that can be used. Even the iron heads of the broken wooden guns are taken away. In addition, even the iron sheets and iron nails on the broken cart Was pried off and taken away.

Unable to find anything usable, Youdu regrouped and prepared to wade across the shallow water.During the whole inspection process, Zhong Silang was very active, and he was also very active in helping up and down.Seeing that the You You who had finished the queue were about to head north, Zhong Silang muttered from the side: "I want to..." But he still couldn't say it.

Li Chengzhong saw his thoughts, and looked Zhong Silang up and down: "Want to be a soldier?"

Zhong Silang nodded: "A certain person who applied for the recruitment back then was a healthy soldier..."

"Then why did you enter the civilian camp?"

"They think a certain head is short..." Zhong Silang blushed, and said in a jiffy.

Li Chengzhong nodded, and said, "Well, he's short...it's a bit..." The top of Zhong Silang's head only reached Li Chengzhong's chest. According to Li Chengzhong's estimate, it was only about 1.5 meters and ten, which is indeed considered in the land of Yanzhao Very short.

Hearing what Li Chengzhong said, Zhong Silang's face showed disappointment: "I really want to be a soldier..." He didn't know what to say, but he tried his best to express his wish, but he already felt that there was little hope in his heart up.

Li Chengzhong turned his head and looked at Zhang Xingzhong, Zhou Paidao and Jiang Miao: "Shall we accept people?" Except that the appointment and dismissal of officers above the gang leader requires orders from their superiors. It is possible to recruit people at will. Li Chengzhong has this power, and his authority has been initially recognized by all the brothers in Youdu.But his current official military rank is only Deputy Lieutenant of the Companion Rong, from the ninth rank, and there are three officers at the same level as him in Youdu, Zhang Xingzhong, Zhou Paidao and Jiang Miao. He must seek the opinions of these three.

Jiang Miao nodded routinely, and he always agreed with Li Chengzhong's decision.

Zhang Xingzhong was from a veteran army. He said to Li Chengzhong: "Yes, but you need to report to the superior after you go back, otherwise this brother won't get the military salary."

Zhou Paidao, on the other hand, had a different meaning: "Yes, yes, but this kid... can he hold a knife?" He stared at Zhong Silang disdainfully.

Hearing Zhou Chopper's question, Zhong Silang was a little excited, blushed and said loudly: "Although a certain is short in stature, he still dares to fight for his life!"

Li Chengzhong smiled at Zhou Padao: "We are short of manpower now, how about letting him help Zhao Da first?" In fact, even if Li Chengzhong insisted on accepting Zhong Silang directly as a soldier, Zhou Padao would not object, since he avenged him , Li Chengzhong already held a heavy weight in his heart.What's more, Zhong Silang was arranged to help Zhao Da. Strictly speaking, it could only be the Huotou army.While insisting on his subordinate Zhong Silang, Li Chengzhong gave Zhou Baedao a step in disguise. This step was very comfortable and fully respected Zhou Padao's opinion. Zhou Padao was very satisfied.

Hearing that Li Chengzhong was willing to accept him as a soldier, Zhong Silang was very happy. As for helping Zhao Da with logistics, he didn't care at all. His wish to be a soldier has been fulfilled. They are also soldiers, and they are also regular soldiers who can get paid by the army and go into battle with a knife in a critical moment.

Zhao Da was very satisfied with getting such a helper, Zhong Silang was also familiar with the road, and he was very quick to get started with logistics affairs. He led the ox cart in front, and Zhao Da followed behind comfortably empty-handed.

Seeing that Zhong Silang was still willing to join the army despite the defeat of Lu Long's army, and he was so active, Li Chengzhong suddenly felt guilty. He felt that even if Zhong Silang's wish was fulfilled, it would not be impossible for him to formally go into battle with a gun and a knife consider.So he went over and softly comforted Zhong Silang: "Don't think that you can't be a good soldier because you are short."

Zhong Silang was taken aback, blinked, and looked at Li Chengzhong.

Li Chengzhong looked back at Zhou Chopper, saw that Zhou Chopper hadn't noticed him, so he whispered: "War is not just about the body, the key is to use the brain." Seeing that Zhong Silang was thinking, he continued: "You Do you know that there is a man named Napoleon in the West?"

Zhong Shiro shook his head suspiciously.

Li Chengzhong smiled: "That guy is as tall as you. He later became a marshal and led an army to conquer many countries!"

When Zhong Silang listened, his eyes suddenly lit up.
