Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 28 Li Guo enters the game
  The overwhelming Li Guo bandits looted and marched all the way to Wuxiang. Wuxiang has once again become a battlefield.

In the old camp of rogue bandits, they are family members in peacetime and soldiers in wartime. Forty thousand family members and ten thousand light cavalry surrounded Wuxiang on all sides in an instant, like an iron barrel.

Li Guo led his soldiers and generals around the city to observe. Sure enough, he saw a bright yellow flag, worthy only of the royal family, flying high at the top of the Wuxiang city.

Beside the big flag, under a yellow umbrella, a child wearing an apricot-yellow robe, surrounded by generals, was inspecting the city defense. The courtiers on the side kept reporting, and the child pointed from time to time.

That must be King Ding Zhu Cijiong.

Li Guo stood on his horse and shouted loudly to the little Prince Ding: "Is this the King Ding of the Ming Dynasty above?"

The child shrank his neck and looked frightened.

But a civil servant stepped forward forcefully and replied loudly: "The traitor, when he saw King Ding, he still didn't get off his horse and kowtow to surrender and be beheaded."

When Li Guo heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "I have a great strategy. I have millions of soldiers and thousands of generals. I have passed through all the way and swept the country. I will arrive in the capital soon and overthrow the corrupt court that oppresses the people." At this time, you have no soldiers and generals, so you can only send a baby to make the final death struggle. It is not me who surrenders, it should be you. As long as you surrender, I will plead with our King Chuang and spare your life."

The generals on the city seemed to be panicking, but the civil servant still responded firmly: "A group of grass bandits and homeless people are just trying to become kings and hegemons. What can they do? But when I, Guan Ning's cavalry, arrive, It will surely be wiped out in ashes.”

Li Guo sneered: "The strength of the Ming Dynasty has been exhausted, and Guan Ning is not worth mentioning. It is useless to talk more. Let me destroy your Wuxiang first and capture the little king." After that, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow towards the top of the city.

The people on the city shouted: "Protect King Ding, protect King Ding." They fled in embarrassment.

It turned out that Li Guo's arrow was not targeting the king, but the bright yellow flag.

An arrow hit the flagpole, and with the help of a strong south wind, the flagpole suddenly broke.

After Li passed away, the soldiers cheered, and the Ming army on the city was completely silent.

Li Guo laughed loudly: "Today we have a day off to build siege equipment, and tomorrow we will defeat the city in a single battle."

The morale of the military has been boosted, but it does not mean victory in the first battle. There are many things that will follow.

For Li Lai, capturing King Ding and making a contribution to the army was important, but more importantly, maintaining the survival of his own army was the top priority.

Rogue bandits have no logistical supplies, so they rely on looting for everything.

Strictly speaking, the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty was a locust that destroyed everything that was not built.

Sitting in the marching tent, Li Guo summoned the generals to discuss matters.

Xing Wen, the commander-in-chief of the old camp, reported: "Our army has been marching for three days, and the army is already short of food and grass. I would like to ask the general to send someone out to collect food."

Wu Ruyi frowned: "Li Yan has been stationed here for nearly half a month and has already raided the surrounding areas. He sent the old camp men out to collect food because he was afraid of difficulties."

Li Guo nodded: "Brother Wu is right. Our cavalry won't be used in the siege anyway, so let's let some of the cavalry go out and gather food."

Wu Ruyi nodded: "This can only be the case. But we must warn the grain harvesting team to be careful of the surrounding officers and soldiers and never go too far."

Li Guo disagreed: "According to the report of our spies, there are no large Ming troops around the capital, so what should we fear? Let the cavalry brothers go as far away as possible and collect more food and grass. This will allow our old battalion soldiers who are attacking the city to eat and drink enough to attack. "General, it's better to be careful."

Li Guo disagreed. Immediately, an order was given to send out a total of two thousand light cavalry, divided into small teams, or one hundred or two hundred, to plunder in four directions to ensure the supply of the entire army.

Lu Mou led three regiments, which were specially arranged by Lu Yixing for Lu Mou's safety.

The day before yesterday, I borrowed a batch of grain and grass from a large family to cope with the current situation.

At that time, the wealthy man could no longer see the bright future of the court. He had a mentality that the life and death of the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do with me, and he resolutely refused.

For this reason, Lu Mou had to launch a small siege.

Then, according to the rules of the late Ming Dynasty, of course we had to launch troops and loot. The result was that the landowner's entire family, except for the woman, perished.

After obtaining sufficient food and grass, they were hiding in a dense forest, waiting for the enemy.

This is the fringe area where Li Yan originally robbed, and almost all the big households there were robbed by Li Yan.

Although Li Yan did not rob the people, in these days, Jin Yiwei had spread all over the countryside to notify the people that more ferocious bandits were coming. Warning, but also ordering the people to strengthen the walls and clear the country. There is no food available in that area now.

Now, the town behind him is the best bait, and Li Guo's troops will definitely take the bait.

On the fourth day, Jin Yiwei reported that all Li Guo's troops had arrived at Wuxiang City and surrounded Wuxiang. Li Guo's grain harvesting team should have arrived today.

However, in the afternoon, no trace of the enemy was found, which made Lu Mou a little anxious.

Out of his hatred for Li Guo, Li Yan reminded Lu Mou: "My lord, don't be anxious. Li Guo's ration team will definitely come. Otherwise, his rations will never last for two days."

After four days of getting along with each other, Li Yan admired Lu Mou's knowledge, intelligence and agility. The relationship between the two people also softened and they began to take the initiative to chat.

As for the reason why this king Ding always has surprising opinions, Li Yan naturally attributed it to him. He was smarter than the emperor's family, and he never doubted that Lu Mou was a time traveler.

This clears the way for communication between two people.

Li Guo on the opposite side was Lu Mou's enemy, but he was also Li Yan's enemy. For this reason, the two people actually agreed on the same hatred and hatred.

Lu Mou, who was lying on the ground disguised as a bush, said to Li Yan, who was also disguised as a bunch of bushes: "I still have the patience to fight the enemy. I just want to end the war here as soon as possible and then return to Beijing."

Then he smiled bitterly and complained naturally, just like he treated his brother: "There are many things waiting for me to do in the capital. The most important thing is that I have to watch Wu Sangui who is about to enter the capital. More importantly, I have to watch Holding onto my daddy."

Li Yan asked with a smile: "Looking at Wu Sangui, I understand. But why are you looking at your father, the emperor?"

"Oh, my father, for so many years, I have been naked with the Donglin Party members. My temper has become suspicious and changeable, mean and unkind, and I am impatient and impatient. For this reason, I have lost my heart. In the past few days, I kept saying After being reminded and enlightened, I finally made a lot of corrections. But I am really worried that he will revert to his old habits while I am away for a long time, ruining the relationship between the king and his ministers that I have worked so hard to build, and that has just begun to improve."

Li Yan was surprised that this Prince Ding didn't seem to have much closeness to his father in his tone, and he was just doing things for the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that their relationship between father and son is very unfamiliar?
