Earthfire Mingyi Chapter 1 Chasing Thousands of Miles 1
[69 Book Bar-www.] A horse gallops like the wind. This is the plains of northern border. It is late autumn and most of the grass has turned yellow. Because the climate is dry, a stream of yellow dust is rolled up under the horse's hooves. This horse is quite magical
Jun, dust rolls and continues.
The horse rushed into a team marching on the plains. When he arrived at the banner, the rider stopped the horse and whispered: "General Bi, the villain has returned from exploring the way."
Under that big banner, Bi Wei, the second general of the Republican Army, was sitting on a tall horse. Seeing the visitor, a personal soldier next to him urged the horse to come forward and shouted: "Is there any trace of a traitor?"
The rider bowed on the horse and said, "Report to General Bi, there are signs of making fire and making rice thirty miles ahead."
Bi Wei suddenly said, "How many mouthfuls are there in the stove?"
"One mouthful."
"Are there any traces of cattle and sheep around?"
"There are only three horses, no traces of cattle and sheep."
This is already a place where Di people live. However, Di people live by water and grass, and it is deserted and drought, so there shouldn't be many Di people here. Even if there are, they should be driving cattle and sheep by. Bi Wei hummed
With a shout, he shouted: "Shang Junguang."
Bi Wei's troops are best at long-range attacks and have many famous archers. However, the Archery Team has never been used for charges before, but Bi Wei was unique and trained a 500-man charge arch team. The archery team is a horse archer.
The distance is the bow shooting, and the nearest is the gun stab. However, after training, the world is peaceful. Only a few years ago, Pinglangyue saved time and used it once. In that war, the charge bow team played an unexpected role, with a good record, Bi Wei
The ace army under his command.
Shang Junguang was the captain of this charge bow team. He stepped forward and bowed the horse, saying, "The last one is here."
"You will immediately pursue the robbers with a hundred charge bows, and attack immediately after discovering the traitors. Be sure to capture them alive. If you want to disobey, kill them without any hesitation."
The order is very clear. If it were normal, Shang Junguang would naturally execute the order without fail, but today he hesitated and said, "General Bi, just..."
"Nothing is just, follow the order."
Bi Wei has a curly beard. When he was young, this big beard was as dark as lacquer, but it was already gray at this time, which added a bit of kindness to his face. But at this time there was no "kindness" meaning, and it still
It was the brave general who held heavy troops and fought on the battlefield. Shang Junguang trembled and said, "As for the order." Although the answer was loud, there was always a bit of reluctance in his voice.
Bi Wei ignored him and said to the personal soldiers on the side: "Send the order and advance at full speed!"
When the order was passed down, the Central Army Staff Zheng Sichu was riding on the horse in a depressed mood, listening to Cheng Diwen, a colleague on the side, chattering. Cheng Diwen was very eloquent, his voice was clear, and he was talking about some interesting things, but Zheng Sichu
But I felt deaf and thought about my own thoughts.
The Republic, a country established in blood and fire, has been nineteen years since its establishment. Two years ago, after recovering Langyue Province, which had been occupied by the remnants of the previous imperial army, the Republican army was nine in the south and ten in the north, one in the north.
Nineteen provinces were finally unified.
At the beginning of the founding of the Republic, the founding generals were led by the Third Marshal and the Five Generals. Time flies, the second Marshal Mo Dengfu and the fourth General Yu Jin have passed away due to illness. Among the remaining six generals, the first one is
General Wei Rentu lost his right arm in the war and had long stopped military affairs. The third general Deng Canglan led the navy. Among the generals who were guarding Dongpingcheng on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the generals who stayed in the capital were led by General Ding Henry.
However, in the autumn of the 19th year of the Republic of China, a shocking event occurred when the National Assembly of Members was held. The general Ding Henry suddenly snatched an airship and fled the capital Wuyun City, and his family headed northwest.
The Grand Command ordered that Bi Wei, the second general who guarded Xijingcheng, the capital of Changdu Province, a major town in the northwest, lead 5,000 troops to pursue the army.
Ding Henry, the number one general in the Republic, no one knows why he had such a strange move. Bi Wei is certainly a famous general who wins every battle, but in the eyes of the Republic's soldiers, Ding Henry is almost a mythological name.
It suddenly became a pronoun for rebellion, and I couldn't figure it out anyway. Shang Junguang had never been a direct subordinate of Ding Henry. Even he thought so, let alone Zheng Sichu, who had been taught by Ding Henry in person.
After Zheng Sichu and Cheng Diwen commanded the soldiers to keep the team in accelerating, Zheng Sichu also kicked the mount lightly. His horse mouth was very light, called "Flying Yu", which was priced two years ago.
The master asked the man to find him, which was extremely divine. He was already a little impatient and walked slowly. At this time, he exerted his strength and rushed to the front immediately. Cheng Diwen quickly added a whip and rushed up, saying: "Si Chu."
,You said, why did Ding Shuai do this?"
Zheng Sichu pondered for a moment and said, "Have you ever told you anything when I wrote to you?"
Cheng Diwen's father was named Cheng Jingtang, and he was also a famous general of the Republic. Although Zheng Sichu's father Zheng Zhao was Secretary of State, he and his son rarely talked, not to mention that Zheng Sichu followed the army to guard Xijing City, this kind of news was not as good as Cheng Diwen.
Knowing more. Cheng Diwen also pondered for a moment and said, "Dad didn't say anything."
It must be that the commander-in-chief must not be leaked. Perhaps most of the citizens of Wuyun City do not know this earth-shaking news.
Zheng Sichu thought a little unhappy. Many things are like this, and people often know afterwards, and the inside story of many things will probably never be made public. Just like two years ago, he followed Bi Wei to go to Langyue Province to set off.
I only said that it was a rebel army. When I was in the war, I realized that it was the remnant of the former imperial legion, not a mob. The Republic claimed to be people-oriented and people-oriented, but it still concealed it like this.
The slogan that shouted loudly "All rights belong to the people" forms a subtle irony, which always makes Zheng Sichu feel like something is hurting. But, as a soldier, what should he do? The duty of a soldier is
Obeying the sentence "Performing orders and prohibiting them, even if they are wrong", was filled with ears in the military academy, and they were almost heard of calluses.
So, let's obey. Zheng Sichu thought. But no matter how he convinced himself, he could never believe that the easy-going and wise Marshal Ding Henry would really plot to rebel and want to subvert the new republic.
Yesterday, the pursuers discovered the residual body of the crashed airship in the desert. Ding Henry drove the airship was not a simple matter. When he fled west, he only brought some of his loyal subordinates. Although the incident suddenly happened, he successfully captured the airship, but
It is impossible to fly thousands of miles. All of this is obviously under the calculation of the Grand Commander. However, Ding Henry escaped and only brought about a dozen people by his side, so he wanted to lead the army with a general.
Five Thousand Chasing is really a bit of a big deal. In Zheng Sichu's mind, he actually hopes that Ding Henry can escape safely, no matter where it is.
"Si Chu, what do you think General Bi is going to do this time?"
Cheng Diwen suddenly whispered beside him. Zheng Sichu was shocked and said, "What?"
Cheng Diwen looked at the soldiers who were accelerating around him and whispered: "I always feel a little strange. No matter how powerful the commander is, he has no soldiers under him. It would be enough to send one or two hundred cavalry to chase him. As for such a big fight, he would go out.
Is there a 5,000-man army? The cavalry accounts for only two-fifths, and the marching speed has also been delayed."
He said with a slight coldness in Zheng Sichu's eyes, and was surprised and said, "What's wrong with you? Am I wrong?"
Zheng Sichu shook his head carefully, immediately approached a little, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't say this."
Zheng Sichu has always been very careful, but now it’s a bit too careful. Cheng Diwen also shook his head and said, “Yes, yes, we are just advisers anyway, so General Bi is the decision-making.”
Cheng Diwen didn't say anything else, but Zheng Sichu still couldn't calm down. Cheng Diwen also discovered the strangeness of this matter. If we were to pursue it, sending a pure cavalry team would be much more effective. Although the Di people were also border troubles at the beginning, the world has been peaceful for a long time now.
During the interactions with the Republic, the Di people found that using cattle and sheep trading was much more cost-effective than burning, killing and looting. Now, I am afraid that the Di people do not want to fight with the Republic. If five thousand people were sent to attack, it was to prevent the situation.
That's a bit too much.
Five thousand people. If you only look at this number, it is not amazing. In fact, the team of five thousand people is already quite large, and supplies are not an easy task. Five thousand people mixed with infantry and cavalry to chase ten
A person who escaped is really a sign of bombarding small insects such as mosquitoes and gnawings with his magical power. Perhaps, there is another inside story behind this matter.
After the team advanced at full speed, the momentum was even more terrifying, and the yellow dust rose up. Fortunately, there was no one around here, otherwise it would be a disaster. Zheng Sichu's heart became heavier and heavier in his heart while walking silently in the team.
