Aspiration

Chapter 4
Li Laiheng had sent a small team to Tongguan to mix with the officers and soldiers.The people he sent were all trained by him in accordance with the requirements of special forces.He's picked some very talented guys for targeted training and they'll take over at the Wall tonight.

It is not difficult to enter Tongguan. Li Laiheng (Li Xiang) was a leader among the special forces during his lifetime. He was concealed and could lurk under the eyes of the enemy for several days without showing his trace. Climbing, he could climb any building in the city with his bare hands.Li Laixiang had no trouble going up the city wall of Tongguan.

After the meeting, Li Laixiang explained to his subordinates the tasks for tomorrow. Tonight, they just had enough food and sleep. Tomorrow's fierce battle will definitely be more tragic than any other time.After explaining the task, Li Laiheng put on the cowhide vest, besides a sword on his waist, there were two daggers that cut iron like mud, and more than a dozen throwing knives.If he hadn't crossed over before, the weapons on his body would definitely be different outfits, including grenades, short guns, submachine guns, and of course, daggers and throwing knives.Li Xiang's knife is very famous among his special forces, once he strikes, the blade will definitely see blood.

Li Laiheng quickly arrived under the city wall under the cover of night.Now he is not in a hurry to change into the clothes of officers and soldiers. His camouflage is very good, and this kind of camouflage can only be researched by people in the 21st century. When that person appeared in front of him, that person's only reaction was to feel a cold in his throat, and then his mind became empty and he lost consciousness.

Li Laiheng's killing skills surpassed those of chicken killers in the vegetable market. With a quick swipe of the knife, a twist of the neck, and a gentle release, he didn't even make the slightest sound.

In this way, he arrived at the outskirts of the General Military Mansion smoothly.The security here is very strict, passwords are ever-changing, patrols come one after another, and secret sentries are even arranged.Hong Chengchou is not simple, and the strictness of running the army is no less than that of Zhou Yafu back then.However, in this era of cold weapons, for a special soldier, no matter how heavily guarded he is, it will not be difficult for him.

Not long after, Li Laiheng and the people sent earlier joined up.

The first task now is to find out where Hong Chengchou is.

"He left the General Military Mansion at dusk and went south, where He Renlong's camp was. Two of our brothers followed him there." The person who came to connect with Li Laiheng told him.

He Renlong's troops should have only arrived this afternoon. They avoided Li Zicheng and entered the pass directly.With this arrangement, it was obvious that new troops had been added to the chasing troops, and they were safe. That's why they dared to transfer He Renlong's troops to the south.Hong Chengchou was fully prepared with both hands. No matter which direction Chuang Wang fled, he was fully sure to wipe out the rebel army.

What did Hong Chengchou do in He Renlong's army?no one knows.But this is a problem.

It is illegal for Hong Chengchou to meet He Renlong as usual, is he planning for the worst?For example, did something happen in Beijing?If he wants to return to Beijing in a hurry, and if Tongguan fails to stop Li Zicheng's advance, then he has to hand over the task of chasing Li Zicheng to He Renlong and others.Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting didn't have time to deal with King Chuang. They had to return to Beijing, and he had to bring back some of his main force. The pursuit from here to Funiu Mountain for hundreds of miles could only be handed over to He Renlong.

Only this possibility.

Li Laixiang asked his subordinates, in the past few days, besides preparing to meet King Chuang, are there any other visions here?

"Yes, there have been three eunuchs entering the customs, almost every day."

"Qing soldiers! Qing soldiers have entered the pass. Beijing is in a hurry!"

Sure enough.Li Laiheng was overjoyed, Hong Chengchou had no intention of fighting, and the three incidents of imperial envoys must be a serious crisis for Beijing.This is a small benefit for Li Zicheng, as long as Chuang Wang is not captured in Tongguan, Hong Chengchou will not be able to survive. Once he leaves, he is not alone, he will definitely take part of Sun Chuanting's main force.In this way, the pursuit force was reduced. Once Li Zicheng entered Funiu Mountain, the enemies entangled with him were greatly weakened.The news should be told to King Chuang as soon as possible.

The key is that Li Zicheng has to break out first.Therefore, the risky operation to assassinate Hong Chengchou had to be carried out.

By the way, Li Laixiang gave his subordinates a new task. He asked them to break into the officers and soldiers and hide.This is a good opportunity to sneak into Beijing.Li Laiheng understood that although their current enemies were the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, their real opponents in the future would still be the Manchus. Therefore, it was very valuable to collect intelligence on the court and the Manchus as soon as possible.

Just then, a group of officers and soldiers drove over.

Unlike ordinary patrols, this is an elite team.Li Laiheng's heart moved, it must be some important person who came over, and this scene could only be Hong Chengchou or Sun Chuanting.

Sure enough, it was Hong Chengchou.Sun Chuanting did not sit in a sedan chair, but was following behind on a horse.Master Hong Chengchou is here, he cannot pretend to be a sedan chair.A set of eight-person sedan chairs was carried over behind Bingyong who opened the way, and Li Laiheng and the two soldiers beside him exchanged glances.

"One strike! Evacuate quickly!"

The two nodded.

The sedan chair gradually came over.

"Kill!" Li Laiheng issued the attack order in a low voice.

Three black shadow arrows shot towards the sedan chair, and three long swords pierced into the sedan chair at the same time, spurting blood.Li Laiheng will not make mistakes in his judgment, he is very familiar with the feeling of being killed.

"succeed."

The three figures quickly drifted away in three directions.

The street seemed to be smashed, and the cry of "catch the assassin, catch the assassin" quickly spread throughout the pass.The noisy sounds of shouting, running, and the clash of weapons gradually became blurred behind Li Laiheng.He left his men behind, and they continued to hide, but he came back to report to King Chuang that he succeeded in assassinating Hong Chengchou, and there was hope of breaking out of Tongguan.

In Li Zicheng's old camp, many generals were summoned, and their dignified faces showed excited expressions.Li Zicheng looked at Li Laiheng for a moment, and said, "You take the three hundred elites from the old battalion and attack eastward tomorrow!"

"No, I just need more than 200 cavalrymen. These 300 people are the standard battalion of King Chuang. How can I take away your guards?"

"Tomorrow, you will always be by my side." King Chuang was a little excited.Then, he said in his heart, "In the future, you will be the one who bears the banner. No one can beat you except Mr. Liu, the chief whistle."

Li Laiheng was also excited, but the special forces would not be overly excited, sometimes they are cold-blooded animals.

Tomorrow, he will keep following Chuang Wang closely, which is Chuang Wang's greatest compliment to him.In the past, only Li Shuangxi was the one who followed King Chuang, but tomorrow, King Chuang will ask Li Laiheng to be with him at the most critical time in his life.

King Chuang pinned his life on Li Laiheng!Another meaning is that he regards Li Laiheng's life as more important than his own!On the battlefield, in many cases, it is impossible to tell who protects who. There is an old saying: Father and son fight in battle.Li Zicheng regards Li Laiheng as the closest person.

Before today, King Chuang would never have given such high expectations to a young man, not even his adopted son Li Shuangxi.Although Li Laiheng has grown up suddenly in the past six months, and the growth rate is a bit frightening, but in these few days of fighting, King Li Chuang really discovered that Li Laiheng is no longer a teenager, he is the most worthy of all generals. A trustworthy and dependable general.He thought that if he could successfully escape this time, he would let Li Laiheng take on a bigger burden in the future.

The sky was getting bright, and the soldiers who broke into the camp were already ready to go.Liu Zongmin went to the vanguard, and Gao Yigong and other generals followed closely beside King Chuang.Originally, they were all fierce generals who each led an army, but today there are no soldiers to lead. Of the three thousand soldiers, one thousand was given to Yuan Zongdi, and one thousand was given to Liu Zongmin. .Chuang Wang's oolong horse is particularly excited, it will be excited every time before the battle, it seems that it can smell the tension before the battle.

Li Laiheng's more than 200 elites stood neatly behind him, and a little further away were the [-] riders given to him by King Chuang. They were loyal soldiers of King Chuang.They have only one creed, to live for Chuang Wang.Today, King Chuang told them, Li Laiheng commanded you.Li Laiheng is injured, you are injured, Li Laiheng is dead, you are dead.

There was only one word for Li Chuang's answer, neat and loud: "No!"

These three hundred dead soldiers, who lived and died with Li Chuang for several years, are all veterans, and few of them have no wounds on their bodies.If one can count as ten elite soldiers, then this group of people can count as one to a hundred.

But Li Laiheng trusted his more than 200 people, and the people who healed personally knew the basics. They understood Li Laiheng's eyes and subtle movements, and he didn't need to explain.One of his "Chong", even a mountain in front of him will be trampled down by them, and his low "Kill", even among thousands of troops, the enemy's heads will fall to the ground like rolling melons.

Li Laiheng knew that the three hundred dead men of King Chuang had been handed over to him. That is to say, King Chuang realized that the danger today was far greater than any time in the past. In other words, King Chuang already understood that any strategy, any The direction, and the hope of breaking out are very slim.

This is the first time Li Chuang has been so pessimistic in more than ten years.

The team is arranged in the shape of "pin".Liu Zongmin rushed forward, and on the two sides behind him were Li Zicheng's Chinese army with the banner of "Chuang" on one side, and Yuan Zongdi on the other side with the banner of "Yuan".Which road is Li Zicheng, the false and the real, let the enemy ponder.

"Pin" formation, this is the most common formation of King Chuang.Of course, today he can only line up with the simplest word "pin", there is no soldier to line up, no line to deploy.Originally, his Pinzi Formation was a very practical battle formation, it had very complicated deformations, and the simple Pinzi had rich connotations.There are small pieces in the big pieces, and there are smaller pieces in the small pieces.Li Laiheng also appreciates this formation, which is simple and practical, and also in line with the three-three system theory of the 21st century.It is more in line with the triangle is the most stable iron law in physics.

Pin character is like a sharp knife.

Liu Zongmin is a sharp knife!His bay red horse stood upright at the forefront of the team, and the big knife in his hand was shining.As long as you take the battle, this big knife will be bright red.

It is worthy of being the number one general under King Chuang.
