Chapter 194: The Great Army Pressed the Realm

The 94th army pressed the border

(Today's chapter is presented, today is in a good mood, just add one more more, it's so capricious, for the sake of me plus more, let's collect and subscribe, if there is a monthly pass or reward, it's better, hehe, thank you for your support.) (.. ))

This kind of murderous aura can only be experienced by the White Dragon Army in dozens of battles large and small in the past year.

Coupled with the rigorous training, everyone is full of spirit and demeanor.

When they saw some villagers on the side of the road to see them off, everyone deliberately straightened their chests and deliberately smashed the ground with the soles of their feet when they landed, making the footsteps louder.

When the soles of many feet hit the ground neatly, the sound made formed a crackling sound, and then like a big river flowing, it walked forward without stopping.

Seeing such a majestic military might of the White Dragon Army, the villagers were even more relieved, and they couldn't help but start applauding for them one by one, and suddenly the applause of the entire village became one.

Li Zixiao also rode on his white horse, slowly following the procession through these villages.

When every villager saw Li Zixiao, they immediately recognized him, and quickly knelt down to kowtow to Li Zixiao, and Li Zixiao also bowed to them on horseback.

At this time, Li Zixiao was worshiped as a god among the people of Yongcheng County, and even many people hung Li Zixiao's portrait at home and worshiped every day.

Not only because Li Zixiao gave them the land, but also because of the rumors that deified Li Zixiao among the people, which played a role.

After all, it is said that Li Zixiao is the reincarnation of the white dragon in the sky, and he came down to save the people of Limin.

After all, it was still a feudal society at this time, and the people still believed in the gods and ghosts, which indirectly increased the people's awe of Li Zixiao.

Some villagers even used their remaining grain to shoot some cakes and ran out of the fortress to give to the soldiers of the White Dragon Army.

Some people even boiled a few eggs that they had accumulated with great difficulty, and hurriedly ran out of the fortress to the soldiers of the White Dragon Army.

These people sincerely hope that the White Dragon Army can win, and this time the officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress them, these people hope that the White Dragon Army will manage them, rather than the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Seeing the actions of those villagers, Li Zixiao and his subordinate generals were also moved.

Just for the sake of these people's hearts, they feel that this battle is worth fighting.

For the sake of these people who love them, even if they die in front of the battle, there is nothing to regret, and it boosts the morale of the White Dragon Army.

Originally, the soldiers of the White Dragon Army did not dare to accept the things stuffed to them by the common people, because the White Dragon Army had rules that they were not allowed to accept gifts from the people at will.

But some ordinary people cried and shouted that they had to accept it, and finally Li Zixiao personally ordered that they could accept their minds, and the soldiers dared to accept it.

"Seeing that there are no brothers, why do the fathers and villagers treat us like this? Just because we treat them as human beings, they treat us as relatives.

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and with these ordinary people supporting us, will we still be afraid of the official army? Li Zixiao asked loudly to the soldiers walking by.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of ......" The generals of the White Dragon Army immediately responded loudly.

Li Zixiao used this to guide his soldiers and let them know what they were fighting for, not only to fill their stomachs, but also to support the common people.

An army that has always had faith will truly be invincible and defeated, and that is also the army that Li Zixiao has always hoped to establish.

At the same time, on the only official road leading from Suzhou to Yongchengxian, a large group of officers and soldiers were also slowly squirming forward along the official road.

However, these officers and soldiers are really not worth mentioning compared to the military appearance of the White Dragon Army.

At most, the 2,000 officers and soldiers who walked at the front were wearing neat clothes.

The mandarin duck jackets worn by many of these officers and soldiers are already very worn.

Many people's mandarin duck jackets are still patched, and it is obvious that even if these officers and soldiers have just been formed, they have not been able to get a new jacket.

Those officials who lack morality probably mend the old mandarin duck battle jackets, and then send them to these officers and soldiers to make do with it.

Qi Lin was riding on a black horse, his body rising and falling with the horse's movements, and he was wearing a new suit of armor.

And the hundreds of families around him, one by one, were also full of red light, the battle jackets on their bodies were obviously updated, and their spirits were even higher.

Qi Lin's figure is very tall, more than one meter seven, he can definitely be called a tall man in this era, and he was born with a horizontal face, which looks very majestic and has a bit of a vicious feeling.

With this appearance, coupled with the fact that this guy has a lot of strength and dares to rush forward when fighting, it makes him stand out in the army.

In just over a dozen years, he has been promoted from a lowest-level soldier to his current position as a guerrilla.

However, after reaching this level, he was basically promoted to the end, after all, there was no nobleman above him to cover him, if he wanted to continue to be promoted, he could only obtain it by virtue of his military exploits.

However, this year, he came to work, and Fengyang commanded Wu Laiyun, a fellow intellectual, to specially select officers with experience in suppressing bandits in order to exterminate Li Zixiao, and it was an honor that he was selected.

In this way, Qi Lin has climbed the high branch of Wu Laiyun, so that he is expected to be promoted in the future, and even Wu Laiyun appointed him as the pioneer of the bandit suppression this time.

Qi Lin is still full of confidence in sending troops to Yongcheng County to suppress bandits this time, after all, he has suppressed bandits over the years, and he can't count the bandits he has exterminated.

Even if there were rumors before that this White Dragon Army in the Yongcheng area was very powerful, in his eyes, it was nothing, and there were bandits in the world.

In the first two years, he had also fought head-to-head with those small groups of rebels, and in Qi Lin's impression, the combat effectiveness of those chaotic troops was really poor to the extreme.

The weapons and equipment are shabby to death, and the armor is simply a luxury for them, although the chaos seems to be scary in number, but when they really move, these chaotic troops rush forward with a lot of courage.

If these chaotic troops can't defeat the officers and soldiers in a rush, their morale will immediately decline, and the rest will be chased and slaughtered by him and the officers and soldiers.

So after fighting those chaotic armies a few times, Qi Lin accumulated a lot of combat experience.

As long as the first formation withstands the attack of the rebels, and then leads a group of elite soldiers to fight back, these rabble will immediately become a plate of scattered sand.

So although there were rumors that this group of self-proclaimed White Dragon Army poles were very powerful, Qi Lin still didn't pay much attention to it.

Qi Lin can't blame him for his carelessness, after all, the news in this era is blocked, and in the second year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the cancellation of the post station, which made the domestic news transmission even more inefficient.

The rise of the White Dragon Army in Yongcheng County has only been half a year, and the prestige that has been laid down has just spread to Fengyang, so Qi Lin has never heard of the name of the White Dragon Army, so it is naturally not a strange thing.

And at the moment, he controls more than 2,000 officers and troops under his command, and there are seven or eight thousand officers and troops behind him.

Such a large number of troops, in his opinion, were just to deal with a pole that was said to have only one or two thousand men, and in his opinion it was like a knife for killing pigs.

So in this matter of exterminating the White Dragon Army, he didn't feel that it was so difficult.

At this moment, he was thinking in his heart, how to kill this group of thieves, he was bleeding, and he beat it up and down.

Taking advantage of this merit, he climbed one level above the court to see if he could climb to the level of the general, and then he would be really satisfied.

And this time, he was able to get the appreciation of Wu Laiyun, the commander of Fengyang Capital, which made him feel that this was a rare opportunity for promotion, and he must hold it.

The 2,000 officers and soldiers led by Qi Lin are the most elite of the 10,000-strong army in the direction of Fengyang, and Qi Lin is also a fierce battle, otherwise he would not have entered Wu Laiyun's eyes.

In fact, don't look at Wu Laiyun personally led tens of thousands of officers and soldiers this time, but excluding the 2,000 soldiers, the real soldiers are only 8,000.

And among these 8,000 people, if you can really be regarded as a relatively elite veteran, that is, Qi Lin has more than 2,000 men and horses, and the 500 families under Wu Laiyun.

Qi Lin took over Wu Laiyun's task of opening the way, and Wu Laiyun took the remaining more than 8,000 officers and soldiers, following behind Qi Lin's vanguard troops, about half a day's journey.

Just when Qi Lin was riding on horseback and was thinking about something, a sentinel sent out, and the horse galloped into the team and found Qi Lin.

"General Qiyu, Lord Yongwang of Yongcheng County has already promised that he will provide us with three days of grain, and he has prepared thirty pigs and fifty sheep for the general to treat our army.

No matter how much he said, with the financial resources of Yongcheng County, he really couldn't come up with food to supply the army of 10,000 people for several days, and I hope the general will bear with him!

Lord Wang has already sent someone to escort the grain and straw, waiting in Xiaoanzhuang, ten miles south of the city, and built a camp for us, as soon as our army arrives, we can directly enter the camp to rest! ”

After hearing this, Qi Lin pursed his lips and nodded: "It seems that this Wang Zhixian is still quite acquainted, at least very good at doing things."

However, it is a little too little to provide food for our army for only three days.

We went to Yongcheng County this time to help them as officials, as well as those squires to suppress bandits, and it is estimated that five or six days will definitely not be enough.

It will take at least ten days and half a month, and the time is about the same, so prepare three days of food for us, which is not enough at all!

Although Lord Wu also transferred a batch of grain from Fengyang Mansion, it was only enough for the army for five days, so why should they make up the rest!

You should go to Yongcheng County again and tell Lord Wang that the food for the army for three days is too little, and it is better for them to prepare for two more days, and they must not go back and let the brothers go hungry to suppress the bandits! ”

"It's a subordinate, so I'll do it." The sentinel answered, and turned his horse away again.
