Chapter 723
: Fire Frightened Horse
"Uniting the unity of cities and towns and stationed with families, although the army has more than 600,000, it is completely a mob, and it is not harmful at all." Perhaps the Monsoon brought the best news Li Chong has heard recently. With everyone, Li Chong quickly came to the city wall.
Everything was as Li Chong expected. Although the camps of more than 600,000 troops were continuous, after careful observation, it was soon discovered that the soldiers of every town would be stationed together. In these towns, each family also had their own camps. On the surface, it seemed that they were all iron barrels, but in fact the border between these towns and families was the biggest defense loophole.
"All soldiers carry six-day dry food, all light-fit, one team for each thousand people." Li Chong gave a decisive order, and at the same time, he pointed at these weaknesses one by one.
"General, although we have less than 80,000 people left, once the attack may catch the enemy off guard. But if you order a team of thousands of people come out one after another, how can the enemy respond if it reacts?" A deputy general pondered for a moment and asked.
"The Thousand-Man Team has small goals, fast speed, and the riots caused by small causes. What do you think the Thousand-Man Team will react to the camp of more than 600,000 troops? There was no reaction at all, and even the surrounding towns would not send troops to assist. As long as the speed was fast enough, the Thousand-Man Team would rush out without casualties. Even if they had woken up later, our team was everywhere in panic, and it was very difficult for them to find the target for a while." Li Chong explained indifferently, then waved his hand and ordered all generals to convey the order immediately, and everyone must prepare.
Although the Imperial Guards later only had a day of rest, Li Chong's arrival had already made them very excited. Now that they were commanded by Li Chong to fight again, they were all eager to try. Even if they were allowed to rest at this time, there were still a few people who could suppress their excitement.
The order was issued, and in an incense stick, nearly 80,000 soldiers were ready to go, and even their weapons were shining.
Time is life, time is everything. When Li Chong opened the floodgates himself, he waved his hand and immediately teams of imperial guards rushed out quietly.
Standing on the city wall, Li Chong paid attention to the movements of the enemy camp. Ji Feng next to him also picked up the order flag himself to convey Li Chong's orders in a timely manner.
The rumbling sound of hooves did attract the attention of the Dongli army, but most of these troops were city guards in various towns, and there were even farmers who had forced signs. It was good to be able to avoid panic when they encountered battles, and they could not react quickly. The route formulated by Li Chong almost avoided all the well-trained armies. Even if these regular armies reacted, they were in chaos. It became impossible for them to pursue the Imperial Guards that were interspersed like a sharp knife.
One, two, three...
Seeing the Imperial Guards rushing over, and although the Toli *** team reacted, they were trapped in boundless chaos, Li Chong smiled proudly. Seeing the three remaining teams in the city, Li Chong immediately ordered to stop attacking. Then he led the team himself and transported all the food and grass piled up in the square in the city with the three thousand imperial Guards.
With the drag of food and grass, Li Chong and others' advance can be described as snail speed. Even Tang Mo and others couldn't understand why Li Chong decided to bring these food and grass with him in the end.
Although he had questions in his heart, it was during the battle. Even if Tang Mo had questions in his heart, he would never be able to question the orders of the Lord General. This was the iron order in the army.
Li Chong also knew the difficulties, but he had his plans, and he was for all the imperial guards.
Li Chong led 3,000 people to quickly rush into the enemy camp. At this time, some troops had calmed down and quickly surrounded Li Chong's last army. At the same time, some troops had been fully equipped and were about to pursue the escaped Imperial Guard.
But at this moment, Li Chong suddenly ordered everyone to stop and ignite bags of food and grass on the carriage, and then the spearmen were forced to pick it out with their guns.
The food and grass immediately ignited when they encountered fire, and were provoked by guns and threw them into the tent, which immediately attracted waves of fire. And along the way, throwing them all the way, a long fire dragon immediately formed behind Li Chong and others.
In more than ten breaths, half of the food and grass had been thrown out, and the three thousand imperial guards were exhausted and panting. At this moment, Li Chong immediately issued an order, and everyone immediately abandoned the horse, and tied two bags of food and grass to each war horse, and then ignited it.
All the Imperial Guards were completely unaware of Li Chong's orders, but the orders had to be executed, which was beyond doubt, let alone Minglin issued by Li Chong. These Imperial Guards were blindly obedient to Li Chong, and they even did not hesitate to let Li Chong commit suicide now.
Three thousand war horses instantly turned into three thousand moving fireballs. Under the burning of the fire, the war horses suffered. Their only way was to run wildly. In an instant, three thousand fire dragons began to abuse the enemy camp.
Taking advantage of this chaos, Li Chong and more than 3,000 people rushed out of the enemy camp without any damage. However, when he saw the enemy camp with fire behind him, all the imperial guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It is best to burn all the military camps to death." A general said excitedly.
"Burn them to death? I think it's hard. Don't forget that they have more than 600,000 people. One person can extinguish the fire with just one pee." After rushing through the enemy camp, Li Chong also became relaxed. When he heard the general's words, he immediately teased and said.
"Oh no, what should they do if they catch up? We don't even have a war horse." Another deputy general said worriedly when he heard Li Chong's words.
"Don't worry, these fires are not about burning their military camps, but about scaring their war horses. Think about it, although war horses have undergone special training, what will they do if they see their peers ignited and there are flames everywhere?" Li Chong said with a smile.
"What else can I do? Animal instincts, of course, escape..." When he said this, Kong De suddenly understood Li Chong's intention and scared away the war horses. Although there were more than 600,000 people on the other side, he had no ability to pursue them. Besides, Li Chong and others had only more than 3,000 people without war horses, and the rest still urged the horses to rush. In this way, it would be strange if these people did not give up the pursuit. But it would take at least a few days to gather the war horses.
