Chapter 189 Interlude
"I..." Ren Mingdao hesitated for a long time, but didn't say anything. In the end, he said dejectedly like a deflated ball, "General, I'm wrong. But we can bring a few fewer doors.
, even one is good.”
A man with a big man's eyes turned red when he was scolded by Pei Xiaoer, and tears vaguely rolled in his eyes.
Pei Xiaoer sighed, and he also knew that Ren Mingdao was for himself and for the entire Pei family army. It was because of people like Ren Mingdao that the Pei family army had the confidence to fight head-on with the officers and soldiers, and had a bright future.
future.
Thinking of this, Pei Xiaoer's words of scolding came to his mouth, but somehow it turned into comfort.
"Okay, I agree. You should take people to the city to pull cannons! I will order the army to stay here for half an hour and wait for you. Within half an hour, you can bring as many cannons as you can with you as much as you can with you.
, Remember that it only takes half an hour, it won’t do more.”
Ren Mingdao suddenly looked up and looked at Pei Xiaoer in disbelief. At that moment, Pei Xiaoer felt a strange look in his eyes. After a while, Ren Mingdao asked Pei Xiaoer half-doubtedly again.
In a word, "General, do you think we can go to the city to get cannons?"
"Yeah, I agree, go quickly!"
Ren Mingdao was instantly ecstatic and hurriedly said to Pei Xiaoer: "General Xie, General Xie. It is really a blessing for Bei Zhi to serve the general in this life." As he said that, he stopped staying, immediately said goodbye and left, waiting for him.
After leaving Pei Xiaoer for a distance, Ren Mingdao's light figure walked faster and faster until he finally started trotting.
Pei Xiaoer looked at Ren Mingdao's figure with a smile, murmured in a voice that others could not hear, "No, it should be said that it is my great blessing to have a brother like you in this life."
The entire army was about to rest for half an hour, and Pei Xiaoer urgently arranged for the spies to investigate the north and explore at least ten miles away.
Pei Xiaoer could not delay this. Although there were several cities from Jiexiu to Linfen, there were only one defending him. Between Pei Xiaoer and the officers and soldiers, only Jiexiu's Gao Yingxiang was left across the street.
What's more, Jiexiu's Gao Yingxiang may be taken down by Zhang Zongheng at any time. Once Jiexiu falls, the southern Jin generals will open their doors. At that time, Cao Wenzhao's Guanning army will cross Hongdong and will be the Linfen Basin with a flat horse.
The speed is hundreds of miles a day, and it may appear under your nose anytime and anywhere. Pei Xiaoer didn't want to wake up, and Guan Ningjun was next to him, so the fun was so great.
Fortunately, Zhang Zongheng is not that strong, and Gao Yingxiang is not that weak either. At least the spies have not found any trace of the officers and soldiers. Half an hour has passed without any danger. Ren Mingdao pulled his cannon and finally
It's back again.
Despite Pei Xiaoer's repeated instructions, Ren Mingdao was still a little greedy, and all fifteen red-clothed cannons were pulled out by Ren Mingdao. Fortunately, he still maintained his rationality, and the heaviest cannon he took away was
About a thousand pounds.
As for the heavier cannons of two thousand kilograms, even three thousand kilograms and five thousand kilograms, they were stuffed into gunpowder by Ren Mingdao, blocking the muzzle and blowing it up. Just like Jiexiu, there was not even a single one for the official army.
Keep.
With these fifteen cannons, the speed of artillery's marching has been significantly reduced. Artillery belongs to the technical army of Pei's army, which is as good as Pei Xiaoer's heart. Therefore, when retreating, it was also arranged to be closest to him.
In the middle. Now, with the drag of cannons, the marching speed of the artillery battalion gradually slowed down and slowly landed in the rear of the team. Later, there was even the danger of falling behind.
Seeing this scene, Pei Xiaoer was helpless. At this moment, in order to prevent officers and soldiers from raiding, the cavalry cannot be mobilized at will, and the infantry battalion cannot be mobilized at will. These people must gather together anytime and anywhere. If they encounter a raid from officers and soldiers,
Or harassing, these soldiers can also quickly adjust the city's combat formation to deal with the raids of officers and soldiers.
In this way, the only one who can mobilize is the only personal soldiers around you, and let them help the artillery soldiers transport cannons.
Pei Xiaoer's personal soldiers originally had more than 1,000, but later due to the tense war, the number of cavalry was insufficient. In addition, most of the personal soldiers were equipped with war horses. Therefore, the personal soldiers were basically transferred to the cavalry camp, which was commanded by Song Meng. Now it is around.
There were only about thirty personal soldiers beside Pei Xiaoer.
With Pei Xiaoer's order, twenty personal soldiers left Pei Xiaoer's side and came to the artillery battalion to assist the artillery to transport artillery together. With the assistance of the personal soldiers, the speed of the artillery marching increased slightly.
This handicap is still a drop in the bucket for more than a dozen cannons. What's more, people are not animals after all, and they will still be tired and need rest after walking for a while.
Seeing this, Pei Xiaoer quietly turned over and got off the horse's back, pulled the horse's reins, handed it to the personal soldiers beside him, and ordered: "Go, send this horse to the artillery battalion, and let it be used as a horse to pull it away for now.
Cannon."
"General, how can this work?" The personal soldiers refused and did not dare to accept it.
"It's okay. The brothers have all gone the way, so I can go. Go quickly, this is the order." Pei Xiaoer smiled and handed the reins in his hand to the personal soldier again.
The personal soldier was frightened and immediately knelt down and said to Pei Xiaoer: "General, no, no..." The personal soldier's cultural level was not high, and he couldn't tell the reason, but he felt that he would let him go
The leader of the army walked like himself, which was really wrong, and he just kept refusing.
The movement here finally attracted the attention of Pei Zhuer, Liu Changle and Song Meng next to him. The three of them stepped onto the war horse and rushed over. Seeing this posture, they hurriedly asked the people around them. After understanding the reason for the incident, they all came to the scene.
He walked forward, sent the reins of the war horse in his hand to the hands of the personal soldier, and told Pei Xiaoer.
"General. Please use my group! This place is extremely critical and has not completely escaped from the encirclement of officers and soldiers. What if the officers and soldiers ambush the vanguard at this moment, and the general has no war horses, what can this be done?"
"What can't be done?" Pei Xiaoer had already helped the kneeling soldier up with his own hands, turned his head to raise the volume, and said to Song Meng and others beside him, "This place is all my brothers, even if it's enough
When I encounter danger, it is safest for me, Pei Xiaoer, to be with my brothers. What? Do you want me to abandon my brothers and escape alone?"
The voice was clear and spread all over the world. Although the soldiers of the Pei family who were moving did not stop moving, the eyes of the passers-by looked at Pei Xiaoer and their head coach. There was an indescribable emotion.
, brewing in the hearts of the soldiers, there was an incomprehensible respect in his eyes.
Seeing Pei Xiaoer insisting, Song Meng and others could only settle for the second best, and said, "Since that's the case, the general has no horses, how dare we ride a horse? Let's do this, and hand over our war horses to the artillery battalion to assist in the artillery pulling.
,We followed the general and marched." As he said that, the three of them handed the reins in their hands again to the hands of the personal soldiers.
The personal soldier was frightened and looked at Pei Xiaoer at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Pei Xiaoer was a little touched, so he said, "Let's do this, Song Meng commands the cavalry, it's really not convenient to have no horses, you should ride it yourself. Liu Changle and Pei Zhuer, since you also want to give up your horse, then
Just as you wish, bring their horses to the artillery battalion."
The personal soldier was relieved when he received Pei Xiaoer's order, led the horse and walked away.
Pei Xiaoer, Pei Zhuer and Liu Changle all abandoned their horses and walked, so the other officers naturally didn't want to ride on horseback, so they were the best birds, so they gave up the war horses and changed to walking.
With the addition of livestock, the marching speed of the artillery battalion increased significantly, and finally it was able to keep up with the large army steadily.
The other soldiers watched the officers walking with them, watching them running back and forth and maintaining the sweat in the queue, but their hearts were extremely calm. The rest of the uneasiness, doubts, and confusion that they had left when they retreated from Jiexiu were swept away.
The worries about the future will disappear without a trace. What if such a great manipulator follows him to the end of the sea?
