Chapter 97: The difference between people is a bit big, the speed of light travel "Cao Yongxiang!" "Tang Guangqiang!" "You two, bring our team members and gather here immediately!" After a while, Li Dingguo returned to Tianjiazhuang Fort riding a spirit beast warhorse. He quickly found his team, rode his horse to them and shouted to everyone. At this time, Cao Yongxiang and his men were chasing a group of farmhands who were running around in panic with weapons in their hands. Upon hearing this, they immediately stopped and allowed these farmhands who posed no threat to them to flee. The battlefield situation is now clear. The rebel soldiers, who have put out all the fires burning everywhere, have formed small teams and are conducting a dragnet search inside Tianjiazhuang Fort. In this situation, it is basically impossible for the remaining enemies to escape. Those able-bodied men in Tianjiazhuang who had just escaped death, even if they had managed to escape the pursuit of Cao Yongxiang and his men, would be wiped out in no time if they did not surrender quickly. "Boss, you're back so soon?" "Captain, what's the emergency?"...
Cao Yongxiang and Tang Guangqiang hurriedly brought their team members to Li Dingguo and asked repeatedly. "I just received an order from the king. Since the battle at Tianjiazhuang Fort has become a foregone conclusion, there is no need for so many soldiers to continue wasting time here." Li Dingguo looked at his anxious friends and explained, "The news that our righteous army has taken Tianjiazhuang Fort in one battle will probably soon reach the ears of the other two gentry in Dingbian City." "After hearing the news, these two wealthy families will most likely flee their old nests overnight and choose to flee far away to avoid being wiped out by our rebel soldiers and ending up with their own deaths and annihilation." "Forget about Majiazhuang, it was not included in our rebel army's plan. However, Wangjiazhuang is another combat target of our rebel army this time." "In order to prevent Wangjiazhuang from escaping overnight, the king ordered our young soldiers to set off immediately and return to Dingbian City." "Then we will go straight through the city and head to the outskirts of Wangjiazhuang, and cooperate with the three hundred soldiers of the old camp led by Zhang Kewang and Bai Wenxuan to surround Wangjiazhuang!" "Okay, the military order has been issued. We must quickly return to where we parked our horses, pack up some necessary supplies, and set off on fast horses!" He conveyed the general's order in a few words, and led everyone to stride towards the direction of the logistics camp where the horses and supplies were stored. "Boss, our team has just experienced several battles, and the process was quite smooth." "We were lucky. We didn't encounter any martial arts masters above the first level, so we easily defeated them and got some treasures, which are all here!" Tang Guangqiang led a spirit beast warhorse to Li Dingguo, walked side by side with him, and said, "Also, do we need to hand in the spoils we got first?" The low-grade spirit beast warhorse he was leading had a backpack hanging on the side of its back, which contained the two spirit dog pups. They seemed to have smelled Li Dingguo's scent and were chirping. During this battle, the money and valuables seized by their team were also hung in two large bags on the horses' backs. "No need. The king made a fortune this time and is in a very good mood. He specifically asked us to take the spoils obtained by our Youth Camp and use them for ourselves." Li Dingguo waved his hand and said, "You don't have to hand in the two advanced martial arts manuals. They are just copies. This time, even Ai Nengqi's team seized a set. I'm sure the old camp will be able to seize one or two sets as well." He looked at the two team members behind him, each dragging a dead mutant dog, and said, "Let's take these two dogs with us when we go to Wangjiazhuang this time." "The logistics battalion can't make it to Wangjiazhuang today, so we have to cook dinner ourselves. It's just the right time to stew a big pot of dog meat!"
As they were talking, everyone had already arrived at the city gate. After passing through the wide-open tall city gate and walking forward for a while, they arrived at the garrison camp. There are a thousand soldiers from the logistics camp here, who are responsible for guarding the horses and supplies. They are in good order and are not affected by this formation. "Tang Guangqiang, take a few people to the cook's place and collect some salt, seasonings, rice and flour. Remember to bring a few more large pots. We will use them to cook at night in the Youth Camp, and we will also use large pots to stew spirit dog meat for dinner." Li Dingguo gave the order, "Cao Yongxiang and I will go to the place where the horses of the logistics camp are placed and bring out my big black horse and everyone's mounts." "Wait a moment, we are still gathering here. Once we are ready, we will set off immediately!" "I will still ride my big black horse from now on. As for the two spiritual beast war horses seized today, Tang Guangqiang, you and Cao Yongxiang will each get one. They will be your mounts from now on." After saying that, Li Dingguo and Tang Guangqiang divided the team members into two, and each took them to work separately. If nothing unexpected happens, the soldiers of the Youth Camp will spend the night in the wilderness for the first time tonight. You must bring everything you need, otherwise it will be difficult to find things in the dark. Because they obtained two spiritual beast war horses this time, Li Dingguo's team was able to have two extra ordinary fast horses, which could be used as pack horses. This saves you the trouble of carrying large and small bags. After bringing his big black horse and all the horses of his team members out of the resettlement site, Li Dingguo discovered that the two puppies must be a little hungry and kept whining softly. He first went to the army cook and took a few pieces of dried monster meat they brought with them, chopped it into minced meat with a knife, then went to get a pot of warm water, put the minced meat into two large bowls, added water and stirred them evenly, and then went to feed the two spirit dog pups. He put the two puppy pups, who had eaten and drunk their fill and were now drowsy, back into the backpack and hung the backpack on one side of the big black horse's back. He had just finished his work and his team members had gathered together again and were ready for departure. "go!" "Let's go back to Dingbian City first, then go out of the city and head straight to Wangjiazhuang in the southeast!" "This time, our warrior team must make persistent efforts to kill more enemies and seize more spoils!" Li Dingguo, fully armed and riding a big black horse, led the way. He waved his hand forward and led his team out of the camp, following the official road they had come from, preparing to start their return journey. At this time, Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu, Zhang Huier and the other three had already led their respective teams and were waiting outside the camp. The reason why they acted so quickly was mainly because they were not as well prepared as Li Dingguo's team. Looking at the empty backs of their horses, you can tell that these guys didn’t bring many daily necessities with them, let alone the necessary picnic utensils, rice, flour and other items for tonight. However, Li Dingguo had already thought of these things and ordered the members of his team to prepare daily necessities for outdoor camping, enough to meet the needs of the entire youth camp. It's not because he is so magnanimous, but because the youth camp is now a whole. Once his team is treated specially at that time, it will undoubtedly cause complaints from the other three teams. Acting on impulse at the moment will inevitably lead to many more conflicts, and then you will be targeted by them. It is totally not worth it. Some things are better to be kept in mind, there is no need to express them outwardly, as the gain will not outweigh the loss. Since there were no soldiers from the logistics battalion accompanying them this time, Li Dingguo and his youth battalion moved very quickly on their return journey, several times faster than when they marched with the main army yesterday morning. Just over an hour later, the young camp, which had been riding horses along the official road, had returned to Dingbian City.
Zhang Xianzhong ordered that no one was allowed to stay in the city, so the sixty-four soldiers of the Youth Camp went straight through the city, quickly exited the East Gate, and continued to gallop along the official road. In this magical world, even ordinary horses that can be screened and used by warriors and soldiers as a means of riding are much stronger than the horses in Li Dingguo's previous life in terms of physical strength and endurance. Starting from Tianjiazhuang, the soldiers of the Youth Camp only dismounted to rest twice along the entire journey, feeding the horses with drinking water and dry food to restore their horsepower. This is because ordinary horses in the young soldiers' camp account for the vast majority of the team. If all the soldiers rode on spirit beasts and horses and marched a thousand miles in a day, it would definitely not be a lie but a fact. "I don't know when my men will be able to have an elite cavalry equipped entirely with spirit beast war horses." "Only then can I stir up some trouble." For no reason, Li Dingguo suddenly thought of this matter, and a light flashed in his eyes. He had some plans in mind, but the right time had not yet come, so he could only stay put for the time being and grow and develop quietly. He believed that he had good luck, and with his golden finger as a trump card, he would not just go with the flow and sink into despair in the future. (End of this chapter)
