Aspiration

Chapter 40 Prologue
Shoot the tiger's mouth.

Although Yang Chun was very sorry and distressed for Li Guo's departure.However, he was still very excited. As long as he succeeded in robbing the camp tonight, the officers and soldiers promised him the position of guerrilla general. At that time, he would be an official general appointed by the Ming court.

Yang Chun was very excited and felt beautiful even thinking about it.

The fourth watch is louder, and the moon is on the treetops.Ahead came a cavalry.The code matches.

Open and close the door.

how?So few people?

Yang Chun was about to ask, when he suddenly found that everyone in this group was covered in blood.The blood showed that they had just killed a lot of people.How could they have any enemies to kill along the way?Songjiazhai surrendered, and the front was all behind the officers and soldiers, and there were no enemies to kill there.However, they apparently killed quite a few people.

"Who are you?" Yang Chun asked.

But it was too late, all the "who" entered the closed door.He suddenly discovered that the person who answered him was someone Yang Chun knew, Luo Hu, the deputy leader of the elite army led by Li Laiheng.

It didn't take much effort, Yang Chun was subdued, and all the rebels were also subdued.The team left by Li Laiheng had already figured out the rebels.Therefore, Luo Hu executed the group of rebels without much effort.

The time calculation was very precise, and Zhang Nai's defense troops arrived after dealing with the group of rebels.Yang Chun did not inform every soldier of his rebellion, nor did his troops all want to surrender to the enemy. They were kept in the dark and were almost betrayed by Yang Chun.But for the sake of caution, the soldiers brought by Zhang Nai replaced Yang Chun's remaining soldiers.

When Zhang Nai came back, he told what had happened on the Eastern Front.

Many people swallow their saliva.

Those who came on the battlefield had an inexplicable pleasure in killing people.Killing two thousand soldiers in an instant is so enjoyable.

"Where is Li Laiheng?" someone asked.

"Chuang Wang sent to complete an important task."

Li Laiheng listened to others telling his own stories in the house, as if he was not talking about him, it was like a story.

Before seeing him, he has already made great achievements for the rebel army, and the three words Li Laiheng inevitably added a bit of mystery.

Liu Zongmin really wanted to know where Li Laiheng went.He loves this young man, but also has a strange feeling that is hard to express in words.He always felt that there was something unexplainable about Li Laiheng. Others would definitely think that he, Liu Zongmin, was a little petty towards Li Laiheng. However, Liu Zongmin himself denied it. He thought that he would not be jealous of a young man. The young man is very strange, it is difficult to explain with common sense, and he has an invisible aura that gives people invisible pressure.

"Jianxiu, do you know where boy Laiheng is going?" Liu Zongmin asked.

"Oh Eastern Front, yes, he went to the Eastern Front."

Where is Li Laiheng?He is in King Chuang's house.He was pretending to be King Chuang just now, and he has to continue pretending now, the play is just beginning.So, he didn't show up.

Tian Jianxiu didn't give Liu Zongmin too much time to think. He said: "General sentinel, King Chuang thinks that your place is the life and death path of the rebel army. In terms of overall deployment, we are guarding the east and north lines, and we are defending the south line. In case Shangluo Mountain cannot defend, it is our basic policy to break through from the direction of Wuguan and connect with Zhang Xianzhong. Therefore, Master Liu, you have defended Baiyangdian, which means you have left a way for us to survive. .”

These words are not only flattering words, but also the truth.

Liu Zongmin laughed, and said loudly, don't worry, the enemy coming from the direction of Wuguan, I will let him come and go.

Seeing that the time had come, Tian Jianxiu said: "Chief sentry, you must pay attention to the defense of Zhiting Mountain. Once it is cut off, we will be out of touch. According to intelligence, Lujiazhai is playing tricks again, Chuangwang I am very worried about the safety of Zhiting Mountain.”

Zhiting Mountain is the only way for Laoying to go to Baiyangdian. Once it is cut off by the enemy, it is equivalent to dividing the rebel army into two parts.Therefore, Zhiting Mountain is one of the key fortresses in the southern front.

Liu Zongmin is not a reckless person, he has long noticed the strategic location of this place, so he asked Gu Ying to guard it.

Tonight is not the time for everyone to speak freely, because they still have to hurry, tens of miles away, and must rush back to arrange military affairs as soon as possible.Liu Zongmin understood this best. He became the commander-in-chief again, and said to the generals in the hall: "Stop discussing too much. Time is life. If you have any instructions, Brother Li, just send someone to say it."

"Li Zicheng" said weakly, everyone, go back and prepare for the battle.Suddenly, Li Zicheng's voice rose, and he said: "Brothers, during my illness, Li Laiheng was my plenipotentiary representative. Remember, he represented me wherever he went." Everyone heard this sentence. Clearly.This is the clearest sentence Li Zicheng said today.

Li Zicheng said it himself, and everyone naturally has no opinion.

The meeting adjourned.

They each lead their orders back to the place they are guarding, and prepare for a big battle tomorrow.

The hall was deserted again.Li Laiheng felt heavy in his heart.He didn't know how it would end.It stands to reason that he has actually usurped the throne now, which is a kind of secret coup. This is a very serious problem. Once found out, Liu Zongmin, who is second only to Li Zicheng in status, will definitely not give up. He will definitely hold Li Laiheng and others accountable.This is one of the reasons why Li Laiheng's heart is heavy.Another reason is that starting tomorrow, he will assume the actual command task of the entire Shangluo Mountain, and not only the commander, but also the strategic reserve team.His strategic reserve, perhaps the only hope of the campaign.

Liu Zongmin believes that [-] troops are needed to defend Shangluo Mountain.

Shangluo Mountain now has 2 troops, where does the missing [-] troops come from?This is the problem that Li Laiheng must solve.

He only has 800 people.Although they are elites, they only have [-] after all.It would be great if Hao Yaoqi's [-] troops could come to help.is it possible?Far can't quench near thirst.

The evening military meeting ended hastily, and everyone returned to their posts overnight.

When Li Laiheng arrived at Shimen Valley, the east had already started to turn pale.

If it weren't for the long-term special forces training and such extreme physical exertion, most people would definitely collapse.Li Laiheng had no time to rest. He led more than 200 people to the woods behind Shimen Valley.

The dawn in Shimen Valley is quiet, and occasional coughs indicate that there are still people alive here, but there is no trace of fighting atmosphere here.However, one thing is certain, the security here is not lower than any other place, but the direction of their security is not the Ming army in Hetian in the north, but the rebel army in the south.

Li Laiheng believes that Sitting Tiger has firmly controlled the situation.Now, maybe many rebels don't know that they have rebelled, but most of the backbone of the army are people sitting on the mountain tiger. As long as they give an order, whether the soldiers and lower-level officers are willing or not, the people in Shimen Valley will be killed. Coercing mutiny to defect to the enemy.At that time, Li You's head must be used to sacrifice the flag.

The battle of Shehukou last night was just a prelude, and the prelude to the enemy's general attack will kick off here in a few hours.

Li Laiheng's trip was to prevent the prelude to the battle from here. He brought an elite brigade, and this was the first batch of surprise soldiers he deployed.

There was a ray of light from the window of the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. Although it was very dim, there was still a vaguely visible figure walking inside. From this dim light, it can be judged that the security there was heavy, and the faint light showed that, except for the fixed whistle, There are also quite a few mobile whistles.

Li Zicheng's head is still on his head, he is still alive, there is hope if he is alive.

It was early in the morning when Li Laiheng arrived in Shimen Valley, and the first ray of morning light had already appeared in the east.Two of the three he left behind had already gone to the forward position, and Wang Si returned to the assembly point shortly after Li Laiheng gave the signal.

"The view of the eagle can't be approached. Sitting Tiger's henchman is too shrewd. He won't let a grasshopper jump over them. He tried several times but failed. The two brothers sneaked into the enemy camp as planned. There should be a result." Wang Si introduced the situation to Li Laiheng.

"Change your tactics. It's too dangerous to rush into the Eagle Temple. They are likely to tear up their votes immediately. It is unimaginable for the rebels without the King Chuang. It can be said that if there is a King Chuang, there will be a rebel army. Without the King Chuang, the rebel army will collapse immediately. Therefore, The most important thing is to save King Chuang's life. If you can't rescue him here, let's rescue him on the road. Wang Si, I'm going to give up this line of defense. I brought you a large team. You rush towards Hetian and directly attack Cao Bianjiao's Chinese army." Li Laiheng then explained the task to Wang Si.

When Wang Siyi heard that there were 200 people, his whole body was hot. He waited here all night, but he was worried that there was no one in his hands.He waited for Li Laiheng to finish his plan, and he was even more excited. It was his first time to lead the army independently. Although the number was small, they were all elite, and the task to be completed was so exciting.

"Don't get excited too early. As the general of the front army, your performance determines the entire battle situation in Shangluo Mountain, and even the fate of the rebel army. Therefore, you can't make any mistakes. You lead the troops around the trail to the east, where It is estimated that the rebel army has not surrendered to the enemy, and they do not know that Zuo Shanhu has rebelled. You replace them so that the news will not be leaked, and then go straight to Hotan. It is best to kill He Renlong. However, this I'm just talking casually, you can't love to fight, this time I don't ask you to kill the general, just scare it. The goal is to delay the enemy's attack from the north and slow down their speed to the south. Time to organize the attack."

Li Laiheng was talking, when suddenly the enemy camp in front of him was noisy, and thick black smoke was still rising.
