Chapter 150 Proud Soldiers【Ask for votes】
The moonlight is bright and clear.
"This trip is not just for border patrol, but also has a combat mission?"
Zhang Qian followed the team and walked in front of Huo Qubing and the princess. The entire team of more than a hundred elites set up camp at night. Everyone was in order, and there was a chilling atmosphere.
Moreover, Zhang Qian was given armor before traveling, so he judged that he might have a combat mission.
He knew that Huo Qubing and the princess were behind, and he looked worried: "Master Hou is too bold. If the princess makes any mistake, how should she explain it?"
"Marquis Bowang is probably worried because he has never sent troops with Lang Zhongling or fought against the Huns."
The person who answered Zhang Qian was the Imperial Military Academy Lieutenant Xiao Qisheng.
This time Yao Zhao stayed in Chang'an and was responsible for continuing to form the Yulin and Huben armies. Zhao Ponu had other tasks and did not accompany him.
The two hundred forbidden troops were led by Xiao Qisheng.
Xiao Qisheng proudly raised his five fingers and said: "There are no generals in the world who can be looked down upon by our Lord. Although there is a march mission this time, it is impossible to threaten the general, let alone Her Royal Highness."
.”
If a caravan wants to pass through these areas, it must be accompanied by at least a hundred people and hired escorts. Everyone in the caravan carries a sword. Even so, it still has to spend money from time to time to buy a road before it can pass.
"Go and inform the border guard that we are entering the city!"
Zhang Qian shook his head: "I'm just afraid that Huo Hou is too good at military affairs and will defeat the Xiongnu in two battles, which will give rise to arrogance. The strength of the Qiang, Di and other tribes cannot be underestimated.
Located about two hundred miles away from the northwest border of the Han army, it is the ancient Qiang tribe.
After passing the huge area of ​​Longxi, we continued forward and slowly approached the border. To the north was the area bordering the Xiongnu Xiutu King Tribe.
For Liu Qing, this was the journey he had been dreaming of for many years, with a smile on his face.
We left Chang'an yesterday and spent half a day crossing the ever-flowing Wei River. The place we camped at night was close to the border between Longxi and Anding counties.
Xiao Qisheng stood up with a puff of sleeves: "You can figure it out for yourself, I can't explain it to you."
"Custodes?"
We set off early that morning, and before noon, we entered Longxi County, the largest county in the northwest of Han Dynasty.
"Tome, what's wrong?" Mulang asked with a fierce expression.
Mulang gave a low shout and left in a fierce manner.
Historically, the generals of the Han Dynasty during this period were all outshone by the brilliance of Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, making it seem like none of them could fight.
As the night grew darker, Liu Qing curled up in Huo Qubing's arms and fell asleep.
The team under Huo Qubing showed more than just speed, but more importantly, well-trained and strong obedience and the appeal and cohesion to do whatever it took to complete the battle orders.
This is a team that is as proud as Huo Qubing and will not allow themselves to fail. If one day they are trapped in a tight siege, they will never surrender even if they fight to the end. They will fight to the death!
In the afternoon, the team crossed mountains and ridges and galloped along the road to the northwest corner of Longxi County.
Mulangtuo relaxed again: "There are only two hundred people. Do you want to teach them a lesson?"
Huo Qubing: "The main purpose is to take you out for a walk, but there are also some things you should do on the way."
Zhang Qian frowned and said: "The doctor wants to take me with him, and I was wondering if the destination would be... the Western Regions?"
"I just received the news that a Han imperial army is coming from Chang'an and seems to be leaving the border to go northwest." Dian Zhen said.
After he left, Huo Qubing asked Xiao Ying, the embroidered clothes envoy accompanying the army on the other side: "I want you to prepare the clothes of foreigners and the uniforms of our Han army in advance. Are you ready?"
"You don't need that much, two thousand is enough."
Xiao Qisheng agreed and rode away.
They eat on the back of a horse that is running at high speed, and even turn over flexibly on the horse and slide to the side of the horse's back to solve problems such as diarrhea while galloping.
"Han Imperial Army!" The leaders were obviously surprised.
A stream of Qi swirled around the team, like a rolling flywheel, looking in all directions.
Liu Qing murmured the words "everyone has a responsibility", and some female literary youths looked moved: "Qu Bing, what you said is so good." She moved to Huo Qu Bing's body and got closer.
Night falls.
"Does Marquis Bowang have anything else to say?"
Xiao Qisheng had some understanding: "The general wants them to make a wrong judgment?"
Zhang Qian thought for a while: "I also admire Lord Hou's ability in commanding troops, but at that time he led more than 10,000 elite troops, which was completely different from the current situation.
Xiao Qisheng said: "I'm explaining to you, don't you understand?"
"It didn't work because the Marquis didn't come."
This is prepared for Liu Qing. When she leaves Chang'an, the clan has its own arrangements.
Huo Qisheng was able to be valued by Huo Qubing and take him with him, which has its own merits.
The carriage is like a small mobile palace, covered with animal skins, insulated from moisture and heat, and all related things are available.
Xiao Ying replied: "There is still plenty of time, and some armaments have been transferred from the border army, which is enough."
In the following hours, Bowang Hou Zhang Qian's shock reached an extreme level.
A few miles away from the rear of the front army, on a low slope facing the mountain, a large chariot was parked.
"...how many Imperial Guards are there?"
The first time he joined the team, Zhang Qian was extremely surprised when he was carried away while sitting in the carriage.
Dian Zhen, the leader of the tribe, was awakened from his sleep by a knock on the door.
Xiao Qisheng said proudly: "Where have the tens of thousands of Xiongnu elites gone?"
"Two hundred forbidden troops..."
As the team moved forward, each soldier rode with all his strength, with his legs slightly propped up, his body pressed forward, and his body rising and falling slightly as the horse galloped, minimizing the horse's weight and resistance, and concentrating on it.
Huo Qubing said: "We entered the city openly just to let them know."
The moment Huo Qubing ordered the two hundred troops to speed up, their temperament suddenly changed.
The combat effectiveness of such a team can be imagined.
On the second day of march, the speed of the team suddenly soared.
Because they were still in the Han Dynasty, after they settled down, they made a bonfire and sat to one side to talk.
————
After about a quarter of an hour's rest, the team immediately increased their speed to the extreme again.
We are only a tribe of more than two hundred people, so if something happens to us, it will be absolutely difficult for us to deal with it.
Raising the flag is better than being brave and brave, but the military quality is average and can only be cultivated in the line of brave generals who charge into battle.
Occasionally, I can see a few Han people walking around in a hurry, which is completely different from the peaceful and prosperous days of Chang'an, when everyone had a calm look on their faces.
"Two hundred forbidden troops, guarding several carriages." Dian Zhen said.
When we arrive at the border later, if the Marquis insists on leaving the border, I will suggest that the princess be left in the Han territory, or that the border army send more people to protect her."
Zhang Qian looked at Xiao Qisheng, who had thick eyebrows and thick black eyebrows: "What Colonel Xiao means is that the champion has other plans?"
At this time, the two teams in front and behind were close together and joined forces to advance.
————
Mulangtuo stood up slowly and said excitedly: "I would like to ask Zhan to be the vanguard to capture and kill the Han army."
Xiao Qisheng shook his head. He always thought about it before he understood something, and followed orders.
The ups and downs of fate and the wonderful contrasts are consistent with this.
To the northwest is the border pass where the Qiang, Di and other tribes inhabit.
In a short while, several leaders of the ancient Qiang tribe gathered in the stone hall made of earth and stone.
"Yes, the news sent said that the team seems to be leaving the border and heading northwest."
The disadvantage is that when fighting from above, you will only fall into a straight line.
To be continued...
