Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 277 Traveling to the Northern Song Dynasty

The darkness enveloped Li Mu again, but this time there was no picture in front of him, Li Mu just felt himself sinking in the abyss, and then suddenly, the six senses opened.

"Catch those two camels, hurry up, and run away later!"

Just as Li Mu regained his hearing, a thunderous sound sounded nearby, and the surrounding area was in chaos. Li Mu heard the sound of several people shouting, mixed with the sound of horseshoes and the clash of armor and knives.

Li Mu opened his eyes suddenly, the glare of the sun made him squint his eyes fiercely, then he opened them and looked to the side, and found that he was sitting on a bullock cart.

To be precise, it is on an ox cart pulling grain, with a triangular flag on it, with different patterns painted on it.

On one side of the road, several soldiers were running towards several camels with long guns. The camels were frightened and ran towards the other side, but there were several sacks tied between the humps. They were stopped by a soldier on horseback. Several soldiers He was holding the camel with all his hands, and was happily turning over the sack on the camel's back.

"Lieutenant Zhao, there is a message from the rear that we should set up camp [-] miles ahead, and General Huyan's troops will respond there."

Li Mu was looking at the green world, but there was a gust of cold wind. When he wrapped his clothes tightly, a cavalryman with a small flag came to him, and then handed a roll of paper to Li Mu.

Li Mu took it in a daze, and quickly responded, but hurriedly asked: "Where are we going now?"

The soldier was about to rein in his horse and go back. When he heard Li Mu's question, he immediately looked blank and even looked at Li Mu in disbelief, but then he thought of something and said quickly.

"I don't know exactly where I am, but it is only a hundred miles away from Youzhou City."

After saying this, the soldier immediately reined in his horse and turned away. Li Mu turned his head to wait and see, and then focused his eyes on his hands again.

The Battle of Gaoliang River, Youzhou, Li Mu squinted his eyes, opened the yellow paper, looked at the edict on it, and suddenly realized where he was.

The Northern Song Dynasty, to be precise, the Northern Song Dynasty which had just founded the country, and the Battle of Gaoliang River, if I remember correctly, was a battle that took place after the Song army conquered Taiyuan.

In history, the Northern Song Dynasty had the best chance of recovering the battle of Youyun Sixteen States.

It's just that in Li Mu's memory, the powerful Song Dynasty troops lost in this battle. They lost in all aspects and left the Liao people with an exaggerated and slandered "donkey chariot god". recorded.

Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly acted, looked around at once, and then looked at his attire. Based on the title of the messenger just now, he seemed to be a small officer in the Northern Song Dynasty army.

And looking at so many convoys carrying food, Li Mu also roughly saw that he should be a logistics officer.

And at this moment, the task of the system also appeared in Li Mu's eyes.

[Task completion requirements: assist the Song Army to retreat, our own casualties are less than 20000, and the current casualty progress is 0/20000]

[The task has not been completed within [-] days, all the damage suffered will be reflected in the body in the real world]

The order appeared in Li Mu's line of sight, and Li Mu immediately cursed in a low voice.

What does it mean to assist in the retreat and return the casualties to less than 2?
According to the historical data I know, the Song army claimed to have invested 30 troops in this battle. The camp was broken by the Liao people, and then retreated all the way, in a panic.

It may be difficult to kill 2 people, but if you count the injured, it is almost an impossible task.

What's more, he is just a small logistics captain.

Li Mu's face was full of black lines at the moment, but his heart was becoming more and more heavy.

The systematic persecution has intensified. Even if I die, this task will not be completed.

"Captain, look, what we found!"

At this moment, a surprised voice sounded from the side. Li Mu turned his head and saw a Song Bing holding a spear running to the side of his ox cart, and suddenly raised his left hand.

In the left hand is a string of jewels, the yellow and white contrasting sharply with the dirty hand.

"Which big family from the Liao people left behind financial resources, there are a lot of good things in the sack!" The soldier said happily, with a wrinkled smile on his face, but he followed the bullock cart and said to Li Mu .

"Lieutenant, look at this..." Saying this, the soldier glanced at the things in his hands, and Li Mu met immediately.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, I don’t know when the custom of inviting rewards became popular. It can be said that rewards are given for meritorious deeds, and rewards for ineffective ones. Rewards go.

Although it was not enough to cut off his own head, Li Mu naturally looked down on those things and waved his hand immediately.

"It's a good division with the brothers in the team, and the few camels are kept, just to collect food and grass."

"Okay." The soldier was very happy when he heard the words, and immediately ran to a few Song soldiers, and then a group of people picked up things in them with bags, and then jumped up and down in the whole team with the things.

After a while, the atmosphere in the team became lively, and some people even sang a few words, perhaps it was Qin opera, but Li Mu couldn't understand it.

"Lieutenant, it's better to follow you. This way, just sweeping the village and picking up the goods of the Liao people, the brothers made a small fortune." A soldier driving the ox cart in front of the ox cart held a silver hairpin carefully. After wrapping it up and putting it in the armor, he said to Li Mu with a smile.

Li Mu didn't speak, but asked the other party to pass him dry food, but this person seemed to be very familiar with Li Mu's personality, so he immediately opened up the chatterbox.

"We didn't get any merit in attacking Taiyuan, and we didn't get any money, but we were sent to escort the food and grass from the east and west of Beijing. The brothers have some complaints."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, looked at the other party and asked, "What's the matter? What are your plans?"

The soldier didn't think that Li Mu was dissatisfied with what he said, so he smiled naively at the moment: "Hey, isn't this a victory? We got married, hehe."

Li Mu also smiled when he heard the words, and at this time the Song Bing who came to ask for credit also came to the side of the carriage, and smiled and sarcastically.

"Shuanzi, don't keep talking about your marriage. After you've been out for so long, your beautiful daughter-in-law may find someone to marry!"

"Nonsense, Lao Meng, you fucking still said me, before you went to bed last night, you still muttered about going back to marry a wife?!" The soldier called Shuanzi immediately retorted, but Lao Meng who was walking beside the car She blushed and looked embarrassed.

Li Mu didn't speak, just chewed the dry food and drank a couple of sips of water, and the crotch said to Li Mu again.

"Yesterday we met General Huyan's soldiers in our camp. They were full of grievances. They said that they had robbed a lot of good things in Taiyuan. They thought they could go home, but they didn't expect His Majesty to ask them to go forward. .”

"Now there are so many bits and pieces hanging on each of them, they can't even run haha."

"Not only that, I heard that the military exploits these guys have made have not yet been rewarded. His Majesty said that after conquering Youzhou, he will be rewarded for his merits. It just so happens that we will also kill a few Liao people and ask for more rewards!"

Lao Meng also interjected at this time, and the two laughed at the same time, but Li Mu heard other meanings.

It seems that there is quite a lot of resentment among the Song army, and it is true.

After finally breaking through Taiyuan, these soldiers were waiting to be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, but they did not expect that Zhao Guangyi wanted to continue to attack, and had not rewarded these soldiers for their meritorious deeds, so that these soldiers who only wanted to go home in their minds continued to move forward. It's really a little reckless.

But the matter has come to this point, these soldiers are just talking about it. Although Li Mu has never met Zhao Guangyi, he is the emperor after all, and his subordinates must still be subdued to death.

It's just that there are quite a lot of complaints in the army, which may be one of the reasons why Youzhou was unable to attack for a long time and was broken by the Liao people.

But this is not a question that I should consider. What I should consider is how to reduce the casualties of the Song army in the next [-] days.

It's just my own identity, what should I do?
