Chapter 83: March
83 March
(Today's second chapter is presented, Xiaoyun's new book, ask for collection recommendation, thank you for your support @!! )
At this time, it seems that his team is neatly lined up, but it gives people a feeling of guns like a forest and shields like a wall, compared to the previous group of messy and tattered subordinates, now at least there is a bit of an army.
"Let's go, let's go!"
As Li Zixiao gave the order to go out, the soldiers turned to the right in groups, and then walked towards the outside of the cottage with great strides following the orders of their respective commanders.
After the soldiers led by Zhou Dazhu and them set off, the forty or so selected auxiliaries also followed behind them under the leadership of Dong Zhuang and set off happily.
Old Master Wei led the rest of the people to the gate of the cottage, and Fang Mu sent Li Zixiao and his party to leave the cottage.
It is about forty miles from the cottage to Linjiabao, which is nothing for these people, and the high-intensity training every day not only tempers their will, but also improves their physical fitness a lot.
Li Zixiao controlled the speed of their movements, and let everyone rest for fifteen minutes every ten miles they walked, so as to ensure that they could always maintain a certain amount of physical strength even if they were marching.
In this way, in case of emergencies, his subordinates also have enough physical strength to deal with them.
Several scouts walked out of front of the group, clearing the way for them and probing what was going on in front of them, this time they came to a mountain road, which was not as smooth as the official road, which also affected their marching speed.
There are not many pedestrians encountered along the way, but it does not mean that there are no pedestrians, and there are still a lot of homeless people along the way, and at some times, there will be several groups of small traders and hawkers.
These homeless people are easy to say, and they are not very afraid to meet them, and they do not run in all directions, but hide by the side of the road and look at them in some surprise.
These homeless people know that anyway, as long as they don't meet the official army, there is no big problem, they are poor and have nothing, and the bandits will not be interested in them.
On the contrary, the officers and soldiers will from time to time because of the idea of killing good people and risking their merits and hitting their heads, so encountering bandits like Li Zixiao and them makes them feel safer.
However, those small traders who traveled south and north, when they met Li Zixiao's group, they were scared.
As soon as he saw them appear from afar, he carried his goods on his back and fled desperately into the distance, for fear that they would be robbed by Li Zixiao's group of bandits.
"Cut, these little traders are like ghosts when they see us, they run faster than rabbits, so they have that bit of stuff on them, we don't necessarily look at it, run a fart!"
Zhou Dazhu, who was next to him, was very dissatisfied when he saw those small traders, who avoided them like snakes and scorpions, and ran away when he glimpsed them from a distance, and said disdainfully.
"Haha, Dazhu, it's not easy for these small traders, they are all small businesses, in order to support their families, they should be cautious."
Li Zixiao didn't feel angry because of this little thing, and said with a smile to everyone.
"Yes, this world is like this, there have been famines for many years, bandits everywhere, the court disaster relief is unfavorable, the people's names are not good, it is said that there are Tatars outside the gate who are constantly harassing, those landlords and rich households, officials and businessmen are all concerned about their own fishing, who cares about the life and death of the people.
Ay! If there is another person in this world who wants to be the founding king of the Ming Dynasty, he can turn the tide, save the people of Dawn and the fire and water, and revive the Han family! ”
Li Zixiao sighed and said, and at the same time, he also shouted in his heart: I hope to become such a hero, but with my current strength, there is still a long way to go to save the people of Dawn!
And just when Li Zixiao said this, Qian Guangyuan, Zhou Dazhu and others beside him also stared at Li Zixiao with burning eyes, this was the first time they heard Li Zixiao say such a thing, and everyone had their own thoughts.
Is this his ambition? Although the Ming Dynasty has long been decayed, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and now the power of the court is still very strong, how easy it is to change the dynasty, I have nowhere else to go now, and follow this young master step by step! ”
This is Qian Guangyuan's inner thoughts, he admires Li Zixiao's heroic ambition, but he is not optimistic about him, and he doesn't know what other people think.
Li Zixiao is not interested in such small traders, firstly, they really don't have much oil and water on them, and secondly, because these people are only people who are struggling to survive at the bottom of society, and it is not easy to support their families with this small business.
Other bandits might have robbed them, but he had no hostility towards them, and he had no intention of robbing them, and when he saw them from afar, he ignored them, and continued to stride forward with his team.
However, when Li Zixiao led people to continue to the north and embarked on the road to Linjiabao, gradually there were fewer and fewer people along the way, and then they simply walked for a few miles and couldn't meet anyone.
"All rest." Calculating the distance, Li Zixiao once again gave the order to rest.
Everyone immediately stopped advancing, sat down on the side of the road, took off the bamboo tubes on their backs, raised their heads and drank a few sips, and then Li Zixiao gathered his henchmen and generals on the march and began to discuss the possible situation of attacking Lin Jiabao this time.
Li Zixiao also took the water bladder handed to him by Quartz, drank a few sips of water, he still has to walk with the team, the four batches of war horses in the cottage are all used by the scouts, and the cart of the cottage is also used by Zhang Ergouzi to recruit homeless people, so he has to walk and march with the team.
Li Zixiao walked and marched with the cottage soldiers all the way, which in the eyes of his subordinates, made them feel even more cordial, and felt that their big boss was willing to share weal and sorrow with them.
Li Zixiao made up his mind in his heart that once he had the opportunity in the future, he must try to get as many horses as possible, even if it is not a war horse, it doesn't matter, even if it is a horse, it is always okay to travel.
Otherwise, every time he goes out to fight in the future, he will have to walk on two legs, and if he is really in big trouble, it will be inconvenient to run, after all, it is impossible for a two-legged person to outrun a four-legged brute.
In addition, Li Zixiao has been thinking about it all the way, and when he got to the matter of how Lin Jiabao attacked this fort, to be honest, this was the first time he had led people to attack a well-guarded Zhuangzi.
He has never led someone to attack a Zhuangzi, he lacks experience, whether he can defeat Lin Jiabao or not, Li Zixiao is really bottomless to tell the truth in his heart.
But if he doesn't fight, he can't do it, if he wants to grow, he must have more food, and a small fight can't solve it, only by laying a bigger Zhuangzi can he get a lot of food, so this time he must be hard-headed.
But taking this step, Li Zixiao is not sure, although he has more subordinates now, but basically does not have much experience in tackling tough problems, it will be very difficult to deal with such a Zhuangzi, and he may even pay a lot of price.
But the sense of urgency of time makes him have to do this now, the ghost knows when, the people of the Cai family will retaliate against him, he must get a large amount of food before the Cai family's revenge, otherwise when he and the Cai family die, the lack of food will make him defeat without a fight.
So no matter what, he has to do it this time, even if he can't beat it, and he must succeed, because he can't afford to lose.
At the same time, Li Zixiao also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate some experience in leading troops to siege the city, if everything goes smoothly and his team can grow, I am afraid that there will be countless siege battles he will carry out in the future, and he must increase this convenient experience to make up for the shortcomings.
