Chapter Seventy-one: Showing Off

Mr. Hu couldn't help but twist his beard and chuckle when he heard this.

A general is called a general, which has a completely different meaning from being called a master or a master. This represents a change in Li Guo's thinking - from a crooked path to a path to heaven.

Does any emperor claim to be in charge of the dishes? Does any country call itself a copycat?

This is of considerable significance.

The man quickly said, "General!"

Then he came close.

Li Guo reined in the reins and rode the horse aside: "What's so urgent?"

Mr. Hu also came aside.

The man hurriedly said: "General, there are enemies!"

enemy? !

Li Guo's expression changed: "Tell me, what's going on!"

The man said: "General, Ye Bushou encountered resistance on the left and right in the front. At this moment, more than ten people have been killed or injured. I don't dare to delay, so I come to report immediately."

Li Guo was stunned for a moment, and looked at each other with Mr. Hu, feeling worried.

After all, he had the decision and said: "Go quickly to find out the enemy's situation and report back to me quickly!"

"yes!"

The man hit his horse and drove away.

Li Guo pondered for a moment and said to Mr. Hu: "There are still Ming troops in Ye County?!"

Mr. Hu shook his head, twirled his beard and thought: "There is absolutely no Ming army. Sun Chuanting is still in Guanzhong, and Hou Xun is afraid of attacking the king and dare not cross the river. There is only one Huguang army in the south. And Huguang soldiers are now We are confronting Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin. Ye County is completely blank, how can there be any soldiers?!"

"It's really weird..." Li Guo had the same idea, but what happened when the scouts came to report?

"Could it be that the Huguang soldiers have divided their forces?" he suddenly asked.

Mr. Hu shook his head and said: "It is impossible for the Huguang soldiers to divide their troops. The Huguang soldiers are mainly composed of Zuo Liangyu. Doesn't the general know about Zuo Liangyu? He is a famous trash, he dares to divide his troops? As for Ding Qirui, when it comes to literary names, he is There are some, but when it comes to military matters, hehe, it’s not that I underestimate him, he is also a waste. Among the officials of the Ming court, except for the old man Sun Chuanting, how many of the officials alive today are ambitious? "

When he said this, his expression became calm: "At night, the enemy is dark and we are clear. In my opinion, the general should quickly put down his troops and take precautions on the spot..."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a commotion from the front army.

Screams, horses neighing, chaos. Torches were flying around, and it was clear that someone was galloping and killing!

The commotion spread, and within a short time, the thieves began to commotion.

Li Guo made a quick decision and shouted: "Send the order to me quickly, all the troops will be stationed on the spot and gather for defense!"

But thieves are thieves after all. Although Li Guo was quick to deliver orders, it was difficult to follow the commotion. In addition to the 3,000 old camp he brought, the remaining 10,000 people started a commotion.

He quickly called for people to suppress them, and immediately killed anyone who dared to shout, for fear of blowing up the camp.

At this time, the former army was in chaos for a while, but gradually became quiet again. While Li Guo was directing the mass defense, he also called people to hear the news. When he learned that the enemy had retreated, he let out a long sigh.

"It seems that the enemy will not stop at night." Li Guo concluded.

Mr. Hu also nodded slightly: "If the army is nearby and takes advantage of the commotion just now to attack, I'm afraid..."

Li Guo broke into a cold sweat.

This is the weakness of thieves. They cannot fight tough battles and are accustomed to fleeing. Once you encounter a tough situation, you will easily blow up the camp if you are frightened.

Since the intruders were poisoned, they have repeatedly raised "armies" of hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands, but they have been defeated in front of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers many times, and they often collapse in a single blow.

There is no reason for this.

Li Chuang can survive to this day because he is good at wandering around. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately gave up the vassal refugees and low-level thieves who were holding him hostage, and turned around and ran away with only the old battalion.

In fact, the same was true for the army in the late Ming Dynasty, whether it was the official army of the imperial court or the soldiers of the bandits. When fighting, you are used to running away. Once this habit is engraved in your bones, you cannot reverse it.

In many cases, fighting against the Tatars cannot be done with force. But there is not enough tenacity to bear it. Once they can get through it, how can the Tatars survive the vast China with just a few people?

I'm just used to running.

Since Li Chengliang, the so-called Ming elites in Liaodong have developed this habit. In the beginning, it was to raise the thief's self-respect, but as he got used to running around, he really couldn't beat him.

The same is true for rogue thieves, so in the original history, the rogue thieves were finished in one battle. If you lose, run away, and once you run away, you will be gone.

In fact, many people like Li Guo and Mr. Hu have seen the weaknesses of the rogue thieves. The intruder himself understands this. But they are in it, and they won't be able to change it for a while.

The backbone of their forces are not real troops, but old thieves. Unless these old thieves are driven out and the troops are trained again, it is possible to train elite troops. But this is impossible to do.

Once this is done, Li Chuang will be the first to die.

And if the old traitor is allowed to stay in the army, it will be like a rat droppings spoiling the pot of soup. What's more, there was more than one, all of them were dead rats.

It's like riding a tiger and having trouble getting off. It's a dilemma. Nothing can be done.

Therefore, when trouble occurs, rules must be set at the very beginning. This rule may not be strict, but it must be there. Just like the three chapters of the Han Emperor Liu Bang's agreement, such rules have immediate results and are very effective.

And it's not that Li Chuang doesn't have rules, or he just doesn't accept food. But this rule has never been effective, and it is false. It is not practical and useless at all.

He is a broken ship that will sink sooner or later.

There are not many people who have seen this. At least Mr. Hu was aware of it. But he believes that the current thieves are changing, and there is hope.

"Tonight is not the time to continue marching." Mr. Hu considered it carefully: "I think the general should set up camp first and let the soldiers rest for a while. After all, many of them have been exhausted during the two days of rapid march."

This sounds nice to say.

Li Guo immediately said: "Just follow what you said."

He was about to order the camp to be set up on the spot, but he didn't expect another commotion from the front troops. Li Guo's anger flashed, and he drew his horse and left: "I want to see which son of a bitch it is!"

Mr. Hu said nothing and rode his horse to follow.

But before the two of them reached the front army, the commotion stopped again.

Li Guo caught up and looked around. He saw the rebels running around like headless flies. He couldn't help but became furious. He shook his hand and shot one of them dead. He shouted: "Quiet, General!"

"There are still a few leaders of the former army, get over here!"

Several people hurriedly squeezed out from the chaos and came to Li Guo, all of them with pale faces.

Li Guo said: "What on earth is going on?!"

One person said: "He is a murderer!"

Before these words were finished, a horseman came out of the darkness, and saw the light of a sword, rolling up a few heads, and the headless corpses fell to the ground and turned into ashes in the darkness.

Li Guo's eyes widened: "It's you!"

Ying Yi killed four or five people with one blow and took away the true spirit. He raised his head and met Li Guo's eyes. He suddenly felt murderous intent boiling in his heart and couldn't hold it back: "Beast!"

He stretched out his arm and slashed, killing several people one by one, all the way towards Li Guo with great ferocity. The rebel soldiers had already been killed and their courage was shattered. They were unable to stop them, and Li Guo's face changed greatly in fright.

"Quick, stop this person!"

He shouted: "Fire the gun, fire the gun!"

Li Guo's personal guards were on the left and right. When they heard the words, they raised their guns and fired them. Fireworks rose up and crackled continuously. Ying disappeared on horseback the next day, leaving only one horse and some surrounding thieves who were killed by fire cannons, while a black shadow scurried across the ground, approaching right in front of him!
