The first Thousand five hundred twenty-seven battle the empire (23)
The personal soldier shook his head and nodded, and said in a panic and stuttering voice: "No, yes, alas, I don't know what to say!"
"Damn it, just say who the enemy is!" At this time, Li Hui, who was anxious, wanted to kick this personal soldier who had poor expression skills to death. (.
. )
When Li Hui scolded him, his personal soldiers immediately spoke neatly: "Master General, the enemy is Haoran Legion!"
"What?" This time, everyone, including Li Hui, jumped up together.
Although this Haoran Legion is known as a legion, its soldiers are just like him, and they have only expanded to 50,000 or 60,000 people, and they are not afraid of him.
But the Haoran Legion is obviously a warlord unit that was also attacked by the Zhao Hu Brigade! Why don’t they attack the Zhao Hu Brigade, but instead attack themselves who are sympathetic? Could it be that the Haoran warlords are like the warlords who are igniting fire everywhere, are crazy?
"Haoran Legion! Li Haoran wants to make a fool of himself! The enemy is still killing each other? I really don't know what I think! How many people have come?" Li Hui asked.
The personal soldiers hurriedly said, "It's dense, about 40,000 to 50,000 people!"
When Li Hui heard this number, he shouted and cursed again: "Damn it, he has pulled out 90% of his troops. Didn't he send troops to get a bargain? And he brought so many soldiers out, so he wouldn't be afraid of being confiscated by Zhao Hu's brigade! This guy Li Haoran is really brave enough to bet!"
Speaking of this, Li Hui saw the personal soldiers who wanted to speak but stopped, and couldn't help but shouted irritably: "What else is there to do with a constipation on his face? Tell me quickly!"
The personal soldiers drooled, took a deep breath and shouted: "Report to the general, Haoran's legion is hanging the flag of the 20th legion of the Empire!"
The officers who were originally shouting suddenly became silent, and Li Hui, all of them opened their mouths in a daze.
However, Li Hui is indeed amazing. He woke up soon: "How is this possible? Li Haoran's good local emperor did not do it, but instead went to work as someone else's subordinate to work hard? What did he do?"
At this moment, another personal soldier ran over and shouted: "Master! The enemy is only ten kilometers away from here! Please make a decision!"
"Damn it, you're just a decision! Hurry up, call me up troops to defend the city!" Li Hui shouted.
A subordinate was born with a low-level man or pretended to be too stupid. He approached and asked with a straightforward tone: "Master, why don't you go out of the city to fight? Just Li Haoran's soft-footed soldiers, it's all a little bit for us brothers to fight ten! Let's leave it to his subordinates?" As he said that, he was about to slap his chest, but he was stunned by Li Hui's slap.
"You idiot! Don't you know that Li Haoran has defected to Zhao Hu? Then the Fifth Brigade still doesn't know where to hide, go out of the city to fight? Don't be afraid of being attacked! Don't talk nonsense, just go to the city tower!"
After Li Hui said that, he left the hall angrily. He didn't notice at all that the seemingly stupid subordinate just now glanced at his back with a sinister look.
The warlords' troops may not be the elite general soldiers of their own soldiers. The more than 30,000 troops left by Li Hui to the lair are still very good, and they can be regarded as the elite of the entire army.
Just now, the officers had already brought the soldiers into the post in a short while, and the defense facilities on the city wall were also quickly prepared under the control of the soldiers.
Under the urging of the soldiers, the porters who were recruited urgently began to move all kinds of supplies from the warehouse to the city tower like an ant moving. Of course, the first thing the porters did was to block the four city gates.
After the residents beside the city wall were rushed to the center of the city by soldiers, the soldiers commanded the porter to tear down the huts that caused fire and dug out several fire barriers. From these points of view, Li Hui's subordinates were pretty good to the people.
After everything was ready, everyone began to wait quietly. After a while, a cavalry ran quickly outside the city. The soldiers on the city tower had long seen that they were their own people. Without saying a word, they threw down the big basket and pulled the city wall with people and horses.
As soon as the cavalry climbed the city tower, they immediately reported to Li Hui: "Report that the enemy is three kilometers outside the city, full of infantry and siege equipment!"
Li Hui didn't say anything but waved his hand to let the cavalry retreat. What could he say? Three kilometers, you can see it when you climb up high and look at it. The scouts in his army are not strong.
With the shouts of the officers, the soldiers immediately entered a state of combat, and the tense atmosphere of war was about to begin to condense on the entire city wall.
I don’t know how long it took, a rumbling sound came from far to near, and a black line slowly expanded, and finally turned into a large shady curtain.
Seeing this scene, Li Hui couldn't help but scolded: "Damn it, they all changed into imperial military uniforms. It turns out that Li Haoran has been hooking up with Zhao Hu for a long time!"
As the thunderous rumbling sound became louder, everyone on the city tower felt a dull vibration and stared at the outside of the city without blinking.
At this moment, you can vaguely see the vague figure of the enemy. Li Hui, with sharp eyes, curled his lips and muttered: "I really like to show off. I actually train the soldiers to go in a row, and I have nothing to do when I am idle!"
After a while, when the dense imperial soldiers arrived at a place with an arrow from the city tower, the army stopped with a silence, and the footsteps suddenly disappeared, which made people feel silence between the world in an instant.
However, as the sound of Haoran's army starting to form siege equipment sounded, the noise of war was about to begin again inside and outside the city.
"Master, do you want to shoot a few city crossbows in a demonstration?" an officer asked Li Hui.
"Look, let's talk about it." Li Hui said casually, and then began to carefully look at the situation below.
Although the Haoran Legion clearly came to attack him, Li Hui always felt a little confused and couldn't help but want to observe. Anyway, he defended the city and occupied the advantage of the territory, so he didn't care about this time anymore.
When dozens of catapults, dozens of arrow towers, several crashes and countless long ladders were put out, a knight left the army surrounded by a group of cavalry wearing full armor and carrying large shields, and Shi Shi suddenly arrived dozens of meters away from the city tower.
This knight is a very handsome and young man with an unruly smile on his face.
As soon as he saw the appearance of the knight, the officer on Li Hui immediately exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's Li Haoran. He dares to get so close. He's desperate?"
Some more excited officers had already lowered the city crossbow and aimed at Li Haoran, while the archers even pulled their bows and aimed at him. Everyone held their breath and waited for Li Hui's orders.
Although Li Hui had raised his hand, he had not waved it for a long time, and there were a wave of conflicts on his face. Killing him? It felt a bit like a play. Besides, he was also very curious about why the other party defected to Zhao Hu and let him go. This was a little unwilling to accept it, because as long as he was destroyed, the Haoran Legion would collapse.
Just as Li Hui was swaying, Li Haoran shouted: "Li Hui, let's talk about how it is?"
Li Hui sighed, waved his hand first to tell his subordinates not to act rashly, and then shouted: "Li Haoran, both of us will not violate the waters of the rivers. What's wrong with you suddenly doing this?
"Didn't we discuss the fight against that guy Zhao Hu together? Why did you surrender? You betray the covenant!"
Li Haoran smiled with snow-white teeth, then waved his hand in a cool way and said, "There is nothing to betray or not. Since I am still an imperialist, I must obey the governor appointed by the empire, which is very normal."
"Only, that's not! Zhao Hu was just wearing Zhang Hu's skin. His troops were at most a division. The five of us had almost one legion together.
I just don't understand, in this state, you will actually surrender to Zhao Hu? And you will also follow the orders to attack your former allies! Your head is not broken, right?"
When Li Hui said this, he waved his hand angrily and shouted: "Don't say those scenes, tell me clearly, why did you surrender to Zhao Hu? I don't believe that you will surrender to the tiger skin of the general!"
Li Haoran shook his head and smiled, "I really lost to you, okay, let me tell the truth. I found that I could not defeat the Governor, and the Governor's future was bright. Sooner or later, I would recover the entire coastal province. In this case, instead of becoming a loser, it would be better to surrender in advance to enjoy the high-ranking officials and titles."
Li Hui blinked, dug his ears, and then said in surprise: "Can't you beat Zhao Hu? Please! He just sent a brigade to attack you, but you have nearly a division of troops. How could he not win?!"
Li Haoran shook his head helplessly: "I just asked you. Do you really think that if there are too many people, you can win? 70% of our soldiers are not yet a year old, but 99% of them are veterans! Elite veterans fighting from mountains of corpses and blood! Such a brigade is enough to destroy one of our divisions!"
Upon hearing this, Li Hui couldn't help but shivered.
The war last time he wanted to be a fisherman but was driven out by Zhao Hu's army, he led the team himself. Of course, he understood how big the gap between his soldiers and Zhao Hu's soldiers was. However, the idea of having more people and more power was deeply rooted, which made him never think that he would fail.
However, looking at how he never took the initiative to attack Zhao Hu's territory during this period, even if Zhao Hu's army attacked, it was just passively defending. From this, we can see that Li Hui's subconscious mind also believed that he could not beat Zhao Hu.
Now that Li Haoran woke up like this, Li Hui was confused on the spot, and waves of irritability surged up.
