Battlefield of All Sides

Chapter 66

The storm over the borrowed crossbow incident did not dissipate. After Li Mu left there, he already knew that the 200-man Mo Dao team had been taken away to break the crossbow and crossbow arrows. At this moment, they only followed with Mo Dao and Tang Dao. The team moved on.

Li Mu also tried to tell Li Siye the news while the team was marching, but the troops were moving out and things were busy, and Li Siye was so busy that he couldn't keep his feet on the ground. Li Mu saw him a few times, but he just shouted, and the other party was already on the sidelines. Leave, to urge those soldiers to move forward quickly.

And just now, Li Mu finally said something to that Eunuch Zhou, not because of his own whim, but because he had a bad impression of the eunuch, and the other party was making things difficult for his immediate chief.

Although Li Mu did not respect Li Siye, he did not hate him either.Such a general in command of the vanguard was stumbled by the officers behind him. At this time, Li Mu already had blood in his heart, so he was naturally ashamed of such behavior.

Li Mu hadn't felt that Li Siye would be so excluded in the army two days ago, but at this time, Li Mu experienced such a thing, and then looked at the troops he was following, but suddenly found that he was indeed in the army. Among an outcast team.

Although most of the soldiers here are newly recruited, and these soldiers are even nervous and uneasy about such actions.

But from another level, they are another situation.

The soldiers of the Modao team were wearing heavy armor, but there was no supply team to help them carry things. The heavy armor was all on their bodies and they went forward with a clatter.

Li Mu, the school lieutenant, led a team of 500 people anyway, but he didn't even have a horse, so he also followed the team forward.

The Mo Dao team was also heavy infantry. Compared with the surrounding sword and shield bearers, crossbowmen, and Tiaodang troops, the burden was already heavy, but at this moment, they were lost in the crowd and marched on foot.

The forty to fifty catties of armor on his body, the seven or eight catties of Mo Dao in his hand, and all kinds of miscellaneous weapons and equipment hanging around, these things will seriously slow down the marching speed of the troops.

And if the speed remains the same, then the Modao team will consume more physical strength, so once they encounter an emergency battle, the physical strength that has been consumed before will definitely affect them in the next battle.

Li Mu glanced at the mighty army, but he grasped the blade and handle of the disassembled Mo Dao at his waist, and then walked forward with heavy steps.

The troops rushed forward. Li Mu endured the huge smoke and dust and slowly moved forward. Feeling the scorching sun, he felt that the lining was almost soaked.

The same heat in September brings with it the hotness in everyone's heart. Everyone is restless, but they have to be driven by their superiors to move forward faster on this road.

"I'm not leaving! I can't walk anymore! My water bottle is empty!"

Suddenly, a spearman on the side said angrily, and stopped walking forward. Beside him, several soldiers also exchanged glances and began to encourage the people around them to complain together.

Someone took the lead, and the vanguard troops around here suddenly started to complain one by one, and even the marching queue slowed down, and the queue became chaotic, and even worse, some soldiers directly poked their shields on the ground, Relying on and starting to unbutton the front of the armor, he fanned the wind with his hand.

"Brother Hua, it's not a problem. If we make such a fuss, we will be punished." A soldier said with some guilt to the soldier next to him who made such a move first.

"What are you afraid of? Take a look behind our striker. The large army has begun to rest. If we go forward under the high noon sun, we may die of thirst on the road if we can't see the top of Chang'an City. . " The soldier with a grumpy face said confidently.

"But we have military laws. If you destroy the morale of the army, you will be executed."

Another soldier nearby said a little uneasy, and the other soldiers who were also standing next to him couldn't deny it, but they didn't know that they were also standing here at the same moment.

"Hey, if you're afraid of death, go ahead and see if you fell down and died on the front road, or if I'm sitting here enjoying the shade and being dealt with by the military law, you see who comes first."

The soldier with the goatee said with disdain on his face, and then he simply squatted down, pulled the shield of the sword and shield hand in front to block himself from the sun, but at the moment he looked around cursingly and pointed.

"In this damn place, both sides are so steep, there are not many trees, there is no place to find shade, and there is nowhere to run water."

The soldiers cursed, and the people around looked around. This is a canyon. Although the road in the middle is fairly open, the hillsides on both sides are almost full of rocks and weeds, and there are not many trees at all.

The sun was hanging high above the head at this moment, the heat was directly baked down, and the heat of the surrounding ground was reflected back for a second time. The scorching air really made everyone a little out of breath.

The sword and shield players and spearmen here all stopped, and the archers and Modao team behind them couldn't move anymore. The whole team suddenly jammed here, and the scene was chaotic.

"What's the situation ahead! Why is the team not moving?" Li Mu pushed aside the heavy armored soldiers in front, wiped the sweat off his face and shouted to the front.

A few soldiers turned their heads and saw that it was Colonel Liu, and hurriedly bowed. An old soldier also said, "Captain, some spearmen with swords, shields and spears stopped. I don't know what happened. The team can't leave now." Moved."

Li Mu looked forward after hearing this, but he felt a little anxious in his heart. The heat of the sun spread to his body, making him feel as if he was fished out of the water. He was looking forward to leaving here, but the road ahead was... It was blocked at this time.

"What are those sword and shield players and spearmen doing! Don't you know that this is a critical moment for the team to march!"

Li Mu's heart was filled with fire. At this moment, the troops were marching in a canyon, and the terrain on both sides was inherently unfavorable, so they hoped to find a place to rest after leaving here.

Now that it is stuck here, and there is no water source around, many people are afraid that they will die of thirst here.

Li Mu couldn't control so much at the moment, and immediately ran to the front. The surrounding teams were chaotic, and everyone was a little irritable, roaring loudly on the spot.

There was a lot of people around, and all the creatures were restless.

Li Mu pushed aside the people in front and rushed forward until he reached behind the phalanx of pikemen, and found that many people were sitting on the ground, listless.

Li Mu's heart skipped a beat, thinking it was because someone in the army had fallen down, so he rushed over to ask about the situation.

"What's the situation, what happened? Did someone faint from heat stroke?"

Li Mu asked anxiously. The spearmen around looked over. Someone first saw that Li Mu was the rank of a lieutenant, and immediately stood up. But he turned his head away and didn't answer.

Seeing this situation, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, bent over and pulled a pikeman, and said angrily, "What's the matter with you! If you delay the military order, you will be executed according to the law!"

Li Mu's figure is huge, the soldier was lifted by Li Mu like a chicken, his expression changed, and he looked a little frightened, and then he stammered: "It's too hot, the general told us to move on, but I really can't move."

"So none of you fell down, just want to use this method to rest here?!"

Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes and said, his heart filled with anger and veins on his face bulging!
Because of such things, these people dare to disobey the military order like this. This is not to regard the military order as a military order, and not to regard the battle as a battle!

Li Mu pushed the opponent away violently. At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a tall figure was coming towards this side quickly.

"Who is delaying the military plane, who is blocking here!!"

Before the black figure dismounted from his horse, the soldiers around stepped aside one after another, and the roar of the other party was transmitted to the pikemen formation.

Li Mu also turned his head to look at the moment, feeling overjoyed.

It was Li Siye who came over.

Li Siye got off his horse, took out the long knife beside the saddle, and walked into the spearmen's formation fiercely.

Those soldiers were frightened by Li Siye's aura, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, and got up quickly.
