Chapter 643: Lack of Supplies

"Dad, did you say that Li Jian is now chasing the rebels of Pseudo-Qi?" Li Xiaofeng, who looked a little distracted, sat on horseback, seemed to be a little bored, his eyes were always looking around, somehow, he always had an ominous premonition, and this premonition had never appeared before.

Moreover, because their troops were chasing and killing Huang Chao all the way, because of the very small supply, they were almost burned and looted by Huang Chao along the way, and they had not gone through a formal rest for many days, and with all this, the discomfort in Li Xiaofeng's heart increased more and more.

"It's almost time to calculate, Li Jian and the others set off at the end of the day, and they should have caught up!" Uncle Li Huang's complexion was not much better than Li Xiaofeng's, and after listening to Li Xiaofeng's inquiry, worry suddenly appeared on his slightly tired face, and then looked at the army behind him, which was already less than half of what he had left Chang'an City.

After all the way to pursue and kill, Uncle Li's huge cavalry has been stubbornly tossed for its rebels and some can not resist, during the period there have been dozens of large and small wars, the Li family army has lost nearly half of the horse, and Li Jian took away 3,000 elite cavalry in the early morning, leaving Uncle Li with less than 10,000 people, more importantly, this army has almost no supplies, and it will take at least three or four days to travel from the supplies delivered from the rear.

If Uncle Li and the others are willing to stop and wait, the supply problem will definitely be solved temporarily, but it is possible that the puppet Qi rebels in front will enter the area of Xuzhou City, and it may even take the opportunity to attack the city. This is completely contrary to Uncle Li's original intention, the reason why he brought Li Xiaofeng and Li Jian out was completely to take advantage of the opportunity of Huang Chao's defeat to give him a fatal assault, but he didn't expect that Huang Chao's vitality would be so tenacious, and it was almost exhausted by Uncle Li's 20,000 elite horses.

"Dad, actually, I'm still..." Li Xiaofeng shook his head a little heavily, it seemed that because he hadn't rested well in the past few nights, he always felt that the world was spinning for a while, but he still held on to his spirits, looked at Uncle Li Huang with an ugly face on the side, hesitated for a moment, and continued to say the words: "I still think that I should let my brother-in-law transfer troops over." ”

"Xiaofeng!" Hearing this, Uncle Li Huang frowned suddenly, looked back at Li Xiaofeng, and finally took a deep breath, and said in a slightly dissatisfied voice: "I have already told you the reason, don't mention this matter again!" Now that the matter has come to this, let's deal with the matter in front of us first! ”

After listening, Li Xiaofeng was silent for a long time, after some inner entanglement, he finally raised his face and looked at Uncle Li Huang, when he wanted to continue to say something, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in front of the army, and it was very messy, although it didn't sound like there were many people, but the habit that had been cultivated for many years in the Feng family army still made Li Xiaofeng, who was a little decadent, suddenly shocked, pulled the reins in his hand, turned the horse's head and urged the war horse to block in front of his father, and his eyes were extremely calm and shouted: "Alert!" The Guards are on alert! ”

Even without Li Xiaofeng's reminder, the guards who heard the sudden sound of horses' hooves in front of them one after another also moved their war horses to surround a semicircle in front of Uncle Li, staring at the front with vigilant expressions.

"Your own people, your own people!" A small group of cavalry that slowly appeared between the mountain roads, and in a hurry, they also saw the large army that appeared in front of them, and when they saw the golden handsome flag, they hurriedly shouted: "General Li is injured!" Come and help! ”

Hearing the shouts in the distance, Li Xiaofeng and the others gradually saw the people coming clearly, and their hearts sank suddenly, and they hurriedly took the lead in patting the horse to meet them, and regardless of the shouting and reminder of Uncle Li Huang behind him, Li Xiaofeng directly urged the horse to rush up, and a group of personal soldiers also hurriedly chased after him.

Originally, Li Jian only injured a left arm, even if it hurt the muscles and bones, but it stands to reason that it should not have much impact, but who would have thought that most of the arrows of the pseudo-Qi rebels were contaminated with bacteria, but don't forget how their military food came from, even in the cold winter, but there will still be rotten flesh and blood, and Huang Chao had already given an order before, every soldier will use the remaining 'military food' of the day to dip some of the day's 'military food' on it with the arrows of arrows, and after a long time, it will become a poison.

Li Jian on horseback could even fall off the horse at any time under the violent bumps, but fortunately, he barely rushed back to the army, and his life was temporarily saved.

"Uncle Huang, I, I..." Li Jian, who was supported by his own soldiers, came to Uncle Li Huang under the leadership of Li Xiaofeng, Li Jian took the opportunity to push away the personal soldiers around him, and knelt on the ground with a limp body, his old tearful face was full of remorse, his face was lowered, staring at the ground deadly, and he couldn't say a complete sentence in a choked tone: "Defeated, defeated, I lost, brother, brothers, all, all. ”

"Don't say it, go down and heal your injuries first!" Looking at the embarrassed Li Jian in front of him, Uncle Li's brows were tightly twisted together, and after saying a deep word, he shook his head at the dejected soldiers behind Li Jian, and then let out a long sigh.

In addition to the personal soldiers who supported Li Jian to leave, some of the personal guards who were also injured in the battle just now also went to treat their wounds, but a few people stayed, and told Uncle Li Huang everything that had just happened with palpitations.

"Three thousand elites, three thousand elites!!" Uncle Li's fists were clenched tightly, and although there was a flame of anger burning in his eyes, it also revealed a sense of weakness. The army behind him is less than 10,000 people, and there is still an extreme lack of supplies at the moment, the 3,000 people that Li Jian took away in the early morning are the most elite soldiers selected from the army, but now, the 3,000 people are almost all wiped out, and only more than 100 people escaped alive, and almost all of them are wounded.

In a trance, Uncle Li Huang suddenly thought of the fact that a year ago, under the city of Fengzhou, because of his own arbitrariness, he dragged down the 3,000 soldiers of the Fengjia Army's Benlei Pioneer Regiment to almost the entire army, and everything that happened in front of him seemed to be almost the same as back then, and even more than that.

"Damn the Yellow Nest!! I'm the elite of the 3,000 Li family's army!! Uncle Li Huang gritted his teeth and roared in a deep voice, the Li family army is the descendant army he has been operating for several years, and the 20,000 people he led when he left Chang'an City a while ago are the elite among them, originally wanted to take advantage of the good opportunity to exterminate the rebels of Huangchao together, but now the situation seems to have changed, and the roles of the two sides have even changed invisibly.

"Daddy! Take care! Seeing this, Li Xiaofeng hurriedly stepped forward to admonish, and looked at the Li Jiajun in the rear who was suddenly demoralized because of Li Jian's defeat, Li Xiaofeng's mood was also extremely heavy, although he wanted to say something to encourage morale, but the current situation made him not know where to start.

After being silent for a long time, Li Xiaofeng slowly grabbed Uncle Li's arm and reminded softly: "Dad! We still have Li Jiajun, don't worry too much about the rebels of the yellow thieves! The most important thing at the moment is that our army needs adequate supplies! As long as our army can have enough rest and recuperate, it will definitely be easy to defeat the rebels of the yellow thieves! ”
