Chapter 702: Slaughter

"Whoosh ......" Li Thirty-eight, who was hiding behind the mound, suddenly loosened the crossbow string, and then a sneaky Khitan sentry with a miserable scream, turned over and fell off the horse, obviously not alive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Whoosh...... "Whoosh" Li Thirty-eight made a difficulty, which was equivalent to sending out a signal to strike, and the secret sentinels lurking everywhere pulled the trigger one after another, as if by name, and shot off the enemy who had been aimed at it one by one.
"Ah......" Most of the Khitan sentry who fell to the ground were dead, but one of them was only hit in the right chest, and he couldn't die for a while, and he rolled on the ground in pain.
Li Thirty-eight didn't hesitate to pull the string and put the arrow on it, and he didn't see how to aim, but he saw the crossbow bolt with the breath of the dark devil drill into his brain, and completely sent the Khitan who fell to the ground and groaned loudly to the western sky.
After killing the Khitans who were peeping in the dark, the Li Jiajun sentries who were ambushed everywhere walked out of the shadows, walked to the edge of the corpse pile, and began to clean up the battlefield.
"Ah......" Liu Laowu, the head of the sentinel camp, was very experienced in making up for the heart and sending a Khitan who pretended to be dead after being hit by an arrow to Elysium.
Li Thirty-eight carried a crossbow and a grass branch in his mouth, and walked out from behind the mound with three shakes.
"Dutou is really good at crossbowing." Liu Lao Wu put the knife into the sheath while picking up his thumb, sincerely admiring Li Thirty-eight's bow and crossbow skills.
Li Thirty-eight smiled and said, "Compared to Li Xiaoqi's kid, what am I?" ”
Liu Lao Wu smiled awkwardly, in this sentry camp, the one who dared to uncover the old bottom of Li Yunxiao, the commander of the capital, was Li Thirty-eight.
Li Yunxiao's original name was Li Xiaoqi, this name is really dirty, there are not 100,000 Xiaoqi in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, but at least 50,000.
Li Xiaoqi is the seventh in the family, because his parents are illiterate, so he simply uses the ranking in the family as his name.
Li Thirty-eight's name is because his father was thirty-eight years old when he was such an only son.
It's just that it is in response to the old saying: 30 years in Hedong, 40 years in Hexi!
Since Li Xiaoqi was appreciated by Li Zhongyi, he not only made many military exploits, but was also given the name Yunxiao by the lord and the word Xiaosong.
Li Xiaoqi's appearance and appearance like a dog, and his huge demonstration effect gave the middle and low-level officers from the Hechi Township Army great hope.
Li Thirty-eight kicked the corpses of the Khitans on the ground and ordered: "Clean up the battlefield quickly, the Khitans may come at any time, and this place must not stay for a long time." ”
Since it was Shangfeng's official order, Liu Lao Wu didn't dare to slack off, his legs were brought together violently, he raised his right arm to beat his chest and salute, and said loudly: "Order!" ”
Li Thirty-eight glared at Liu Lao Wu angrily, and shouted coldly: "What kind of system does the oil cavity have become smooth?" ”
Liu Lao Wu approached Li Thirty-eight with a smile and whispered: "Dutou, the little one can help you calculate the credit, and you are very likely to be promoted to deputy commander after this battle." ”
When Li Thirty-eight heard the words deputy commander, his heart couldn't help but heat up, there were a total of nine commanders in the entire sentry camp, but there were only three commanders and the same number of deputy commanders.
In the Li Jiajun to the deputy command level, it can be regarded as officially stepping into the ranks of middle-level officers, in the situation of more monks and less porridge, in order to step up this step, obtaining indisputable military merits is the only element of examination.
The situation in the sentinel camp was extremely special, and the officers and soldiers in the battalion generally had a higher status, and they enjoyed more than fifty percent of the treatment they enjoyed than Li Zhongyi's guards.
This is because the sentry battalion has always been engaged in the most dangerous work, and the battle loss rate is surprisingly high relative to the field troops.
At the time of Li Zhongyi's Northern Expedition from Kaifeng, there were a total of 85 elite sentries in the "capital" under the jurisdiction of Li 38, and after successive battles, there were currently less than 60 sentry spies left, and the loss was more than one-third.
According to the old rules of the Li Jiajun, all officers and soldiers who were killed or disabled in battle, in addition to the pension due to the imperial court, their wives and children, the old and the young, or themselves were raised by the military, which completely solved the worries of the future.
"Stop talking nonsense, clean up the battlefield quickly, and get out of here as soon as possible." After Li Thirty-eight gave the order, he drew the war knife in the sheath and turned around and walked towards the nearest Khitan corpse.
"Poof." Li Thirty-eight made a deep knife on the neck of the Khitan, and then squatted down and peeled off his clothes and armor.
Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was relatively wealthy compared to the Khitans, it was not long after the founding of the Dynasty that the production of the armor-making workshop of the Sansi case was extremely low.
Zhou followed the Tang system, and there were no knives and bows on the market, but anyone who secretly possessed crossbows or armor was punished as rebellion.
Although Li Zhongyi had a lot of money in his pocket, it was impossible for him to set up a workshop for armor and crossbows, so the important order of robbery in the Li family army was: armor, crossbows, grain, treasures, and slaves.
Li Jiajun's cleaning up of the battlefield after winning the battle actually has strict regulations, and in the final analysis, it is a sentence: everything useful must be taken away, unless the military situation is urgent and cannot be started.
Soon, the Khitan sentinel who died was stripped to perfection by Li Thirty-eight.
Li Thirty-eight stared at the pink mandarin duck belly pockets of the Han girls scattered on the ground, looked at them for a while, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, alas, the country is weak and is being bullied!
Different from the order of robbery of the Li Jiajun, the Khitans went south to fight the grass valley with copper coins and treasures first, followed by young and beautiful Han women. As for the supplies such as grain that Li Zhongyi values very much, the Khitans have actually been feeding the horses.
The soldiers in the sentry camp are all veterans of many battles, and cleaning up the battlefield is just a child for them.
Soon, the collected materials were tied to the captured war horses by the sentinels, and Li Thirty-eight was about to make a few jokes when he heard a sharp copper whistle suddenly from the top of the hill.
Li Thirty-eight's face couldn't help but change, and the whistle of this warning, five long and three short, clearly told him that the Khitan soldiers and horses exceeded at least three hundred.
"Brothers, a large number of Khitans are here, we should go!" After Li Thirty-eight gave the order to retreat, he quickly turned on his horse, pulled the reins with his left hand to control the direction, but led the Khitan horse with a lot of supplies with his right hand, and trotted all the way towards Li Zhongyi's Chinese army.
According to Li Jiajun's regulations, the main task of the sentry camp is to find out the enemy's situation and transmit it back to the camp in a timely manner. Unless it's a narrow encounter and a bloody battle is necessary, in general, Sentinels should avoid fighting with large groups of enemy forces.
In Li Thirty-eight's opinion, the leather room army led by Yelu Xiuge was obviously much more elite than the previous Khitan Shan army, palace branch army and tribal army.
Since the close encounter with the sentinels of the leather room army, the sentry detectives under Li 38 have repeatedly won through ambushes, but the casualties have also continued to increase. To be continued.
