Vol 2 Chapter 541: Snowy night

There was no tendency for Daxue to stop. Just as Liu Yi and his maidservants had confessed to each other for many years, they did not know that his son had encountered his first threat in his life less than a hundred miles away.
But for Liu Cheng, who changed his name to Cheng Yuan, he didn't think this was a threat, but a sharpening of himself. Last night's words, Zhang Zhong really touched Liu Cheng's heart and found his own direction, otherwise he would not treat His own token was given to Zhang Zhong. This small token, used well, is an opportunity for Zhang Zhong to jump the dragon gate and can change his life.
Zhang Zhong naturally didn't know what the purpose of this thing was, or even who to take it for, but reason told him that it was absolutely useful, so he put it away solemnly.
This night, this caravan was sleeping very sweetly. Although this temporary shed can not absolutely isolate the cold, it is much better than the ordinary tent. At least it will not let people freeze to death, and it is quite comfortable to fall asleep. .
Early the next morning, when everyone woke up, they only felt refreshed, and the fatigue caused by the fatigue of the journey seemed to disappear with the rest of the night, and the whole body was full of energy.
Looking at the heavy snow, it seemed that it was bigger than yesterday, and one foot stepped on the ground, and the whole foot did not go down.
"Brother Cheng, won't those gangsters come today?" Zhang Zhong came to Liu Cheng and asked.
"It depends on whether they have the ambition to get these goods." Liu Cheng shook his head and said: "These horse thieves are the collapse of the Wei army, they have no foundation here, and now that the Xiliang order is restored, their survival The space will be compressed, and there is a high chance of earning a lot of money for this batch of goods, but everyone can also gamble. After all, the snow is heavy and the road is difficult, and the other party may not catch up. "
It ’s only thirty miles away from Yunwu. If it ’s a weekday, thirty miles can be reached in half a day, but now the snow is heavy, the snow on the ground is one foot thick, let alone half a day, one day may not be able to arrive, However, the opponent is a cavalry and has a strong driving force. Even if it is also blocked, but there is no drag on the goods, the opponent's driving force will be stronger than them.
"What should I do now?" The middle-aged was quite persuaded by Liu Cheng at the moment, and his attitude was not as evil as before. When he came up at this moment, some complained: "It's harder to go when the snow stops."
"Taking advantage of the wind and snow, take the initiative to attack to prevent future trouble." Liu Cheng looked at the sky.
"This ..." Zhang Zhonghe and the middle-aged guards were a bit embarrassed, and the middle-aged guards smiled bitterly: "If it is an ordinary horse thief, I'm not afraid, but these people are Wei Jun. Although they can't deal with my army, we These people ... "
It's just a group of businessmen. Although they often take away in this area, they also have the toughness on the northwestern earth, but in the face of Wei Jun, they still have a little bit of a bottom.
"It's not a small chance to win with intentions." Liu Cheng shook his head, whether it wiped out the other party, it didn't make much difference for Liu Cheng. He was single-handed, even if the situation was unfavorable, it was not difficult for him to get out. These are just a way to live for these people.
I ca n’t move now, and it ’s more difficult to move when the snow stops. Instead of counterattack, the opponent should n’t be able to counterattack here.
"How to fight? We don't even know where they are." The middle-aged guard frowned, feeling that the teenager was wishful thinking.
"It's not difficult to find." Liu Cheng reached out and grabbed a handful of snow, rubbing his face and said: "In such heavy snow, I can detect my location and quickly come, and I can monitor me and so on. Not far away, from the other ’s point of view, when it is in a mountain forest in the northwest direction, the distance will not exceed ten miles, it is not difficult to send someone to find out, if time permits, tonight tonight, first burn the stables, and then take advantage of the chaos Enter, the chance will be very high. "
"Brother Cheng, what exactly do you mean by this probability?" The middle-aged guard was puzzled.
"Let's win, no battle can win absolutely, but according to the conditions, we can roughly estimate the level of winning. Now we are surprised, and the chance of winning is not small, but if we can win, I can't guarantee it." Liu Cheng said indifferently: "Of course, This is only based on the number of horse thieves yesterday. If the opponent is only a small part, the odds will be greatly discounted, but the probability is not high. Based on the current situation in Xiliang, they have no heritage, weak anti-risk ability, and raise If too many people starve to death first. "
"What should I do?" The middle-aged looked at Zhang Zhong, and the young man had nothing to do with himself. It was impossible to expect him to come forward, and they could only decide by themselves.
Zhang Zhong smiled bitterly: "Do I have any choices?"
Liu Cheng has pointed out two ways. One way is to wait for death, maybe to live two days longer, but in the end, even if he can escape his life, this business will have to be robbed.
Fighting hard, it seems that the risk is great, but if it can succeed, it can not only save the goods, but also save the life. They are all the men who are asking for life on the Northwest Road. They have a toughness in their bones. This choice is not difficult for them. The reason why people are hesitant is that they can't see their own way clearly, and they don't know how to choose it. Now that the way has been indicated and the result is already clear, then the next choice , Naturally it will be easy.
At the moment, everyone discussed it and selected several agile guards or businessmen from the crowd. They put on a white robe and faced the snow to explore in the direction of Liu Cheng.
It ’s impossible to say how much concealment is possible. After all, it ’s not a specially trained scout, but the current weather has helped a lot. , Are not easy to find.
"Brother Cheng, if I found it, how should I fight?" Zhang Zhong followed Liu Cheng back to the tent and asked with a smile.
"My understanding of the art of warfare is limited to books, and I have not participated in actual combat, so it may not be accurate." Liu Cheng thought about it: "If you don't attack overnight, one needs to be concealed and unexpected. Twenty tough men are enough. If you can touch the opponent ’s cottage and create chaos first, as I said before, burning the stables, hitting the enemy with the war horse, and then killing it will cause the enemy a lot of illusions. Fire is the best way to burn. Do n’t be afraid. At that time, you can just let go of it and there is no way out. "
"Is there too few twenty people?" The middle-aged guard frowned.
"This is a night attack, but it is easy to be noticed when there are many people. Some things are not useful if there are many people. Among these people, there are such courageous people. I am afraid that they may not be able to make up 20 people." , Laughing.
"It's all the Northwest people who are asking for life. At this point, no one will flinch. Although Brother Cheng is awesome, he also underestimated me." The middle-aged guard laughed and turned to find someone.
After an hour, the middle-aged guards looked a bit ugly and brought fifteen people over. Liu Cheng's face was indifferent, but the middle-aged guards felt that the teenager was laughing.
"With you and me, there are only 17 people ..." Zhang Zhong looked at this scene and smiled bitterly, as if he had been guessed by this boy again.
"For such things, the first priority is courage. Since they have no courage, let them go. Seventeen people can succeed." Liu Cheng was not surprised. In fact, he was able to put together seventeen people, but surprised him. This ratio It ’s not too low, and it proves that the middle-aged guards, among these people, do have brave men.
"Okay, everyone will have a meal tonight, and three will start. Brother Cheng will wait for me to wait for the news." The accountant said to Liu Cheng.
"Go together." Liu Cheng shook his head.
"Brother Cheng ..." Zhang Zhong looked at Liu Cheng with some surprise. The identity of the other party can already be determined. Such people will also come to the front line?
"I want to see how the Wei Jun cavalry fought." Liu Cheng nodded. Although the Han is actively planning to build a cavalry, the cavalry general is a rare profession in the Han. In the Manchu Dynasty, there may be only the Ma's class. This ability, including Liu Cheng, only understands the cavalry understanding in books. With this opportunity, he will naturally not miss it.
Zhang Zhong and the middle-aged guards were speechless. I really didn't understand what this person was thinking. They clearly had a distinguished identity, but they ran out with the caravan themselves.
In the evening, the person who went to find the way finally came back, and already determined the position of the other party. As Liu Cheng said, it was only seven or eight miles away from here, even if it was a storm ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The time is enough.
"Departure." At three o'clock, Zhang Zhong cleared his hands. At present, eighteen people each held sharp blades, wrapped in white clothes and led by a path-finding youth. They touched each other's stronghold at night.
In a dilapidated cottage, the cowl door was crushed. In such a snowy weather, the wooden door creaked in the cold wind, and an arrow tower was hit in the back row. There was fire on it, but no figure was seen, and the area was not small, but popular not tall.
Zhang Zhongzheng wanted to lead someone into the main entrance, but Liu Cheng was caught.
"Here." Liu Cheng looked at the pattern of the cottage and took Zhang Zhong and others to find the stable around the cottage.
Zhang Zhong and the middle-aged guards looked at Liu Cheng with a surprised expression: "Brother Cheng, how do you know?"
"I have studied some camp layouts. The layout here is simple. You can see where the stables are at a glance." Liu Cheng sat down and said: "I will see you next."
"What about you?" The middle-aged guard asked subconsciously.
"Press the battle for you." Liu Cheng said calmly.
Zhang Zhong, middle-aged guard: "..."
Is it really the elders who came to watch the battle?
"That brother Cheng be careful, let's go!" Zhang Zhong nodded, did not ask again, and originally did not count the other party.
Soon, a fire broke out in the stable, a group of war horses were startled, and began to frantically move around. Zhang Zhong and others took the opportunity to set the fire and set it around. The snow was too big to be really burned, but the effect of the surprise attack was arrived. After seeing that the arson was invalid, a group of people simply gathered together and fought around. The horse thieves in the village ran around in a panic. They were hit by flying horses from time to time. The scene was messed up. Some people had begun to escape, and not many people resisted.
But after all there is!
Liu Cheng climbed an arrow tower and watched the chaos silently, making some comments from time to time. He waited until the end of the battle before climbing down the arrow tower.
