Su Le had no intention of asking Xing Long about the war horse at this time, but Xu Niu was preoccupied with asking for the war horse, so Su Le followed his wishes, but had no intention of actually getting it.
"Commander, the war with the Shiman is about to begin. Our army does not have the advantage in terms of military strength, but we must defeat them in terms of equipment. But now only the fifteen thousand people of the Tiefeng Battalion have war horses. If we encounter the opponent's elite battalion,
The team may not be able to cope with it, so I want to borrow a thousand war horses from the Marshal to prepare for emergencies, but the Marshal..." Su Le said bravely.
"Oh, that's it! What you said makes sense. Although the Shiman army is not good at horse fighting, it still has several elite battalions. If it only relies on the Tiefeng battalion, it is hard to say whether it will win. It just so happens that after this reorganization, there are many war horses.
Leave it vacant, so be it, I'll allocate it to you two
Thousands of war horses, you form a mobile team and can move freely on the battlefield." As soon as Xing Long heard what Su Le said, he knew what he meant. In addition, last time in the palace, the emperor specifically requested that these ordinary battalions be given to
After some care, he agreed wholeheartedly.
Su Le was surprised that Xing Long agreed so readily. In the Xia Kingdom's army, only elite battalions can have war horses, while only some generals in ordinary battalions are eligible to have war horses. No matter what, two thousand war horses.
With this, you can form at least a thousand cavalry, and with the hundreds of horses, you can finally build a military camp.
After Su Le returned to Kaishan Camp from Xing Long's commander's account, he immediately summoned Xia Yi, Lu Jie and others to discuss matters. Since Xing Long had received the information, the transfer order must have been done within a day or two, so Kaishan Camp also had to do something
Be prepared to deal with it.
After all five people arrived, Su Le would get the news from Xing Long and notify them.
"Battlemaster, after these days of training, our Qisha camp is completely capable of fighting alone. This time we will definitely let the barbarians know the majesty of our Qisha camp!" Lu Jie suddenly became excited when he heard that there was a battle to be fought.
, he has been secretly recruiting 500 new soldiers these days, and has stepped up training in the Qisha camp. He must really want to see the results of his training.
"Boss, the 3,500 soldiers of Tanlang Camp are also ready to attack at any time." Li Zhu has also recruited some new soldiers in the past few days. In addition, the soldiers of Tanlang Camp were already good at fighting formations. The three new recruits
The hundreds of recruits quickly became familiar with the formation, and they became the core combat force of Kaishan Camp.
"Boss, as long as the horses and horses are in full force, I will march forward bravely and break through the enemy's defense line!" Seeing that the two of them expressed their stance, Xu Niu also shouted.
"Daniu, Pojun camp has few troops, and the war horses have just been brought back. You lack unified training, so don't go with me this time. I have another task for you." Su Le considered the relationship between Pojun camp's soldiers and horses.
With the training, they are no better than a group of infantrymen on the battlefield, so we simply don't want them to go on the battlefield.
"Boss, although we haven't had much training in the barracks, we are all like wolf cubs who have been waiting to go to the battlefield for a long time!" Xu Niu became anxious when he heard that Su Le did not want him to go to the battlefield.
"Don't be impatient. Didn't I tell you that I have a task for you? Then you will naturally have the opportunity to show off your marksmanship." Su Le said to Xu Niu with a smile, then looked at Hou Shun and said, "Monkey
, in fact, in addition to the army's combat effectiveness and national strength, intelligence is the most important in a war, so your task is also particularly arduous. When you arrive on the battlefield, you will have detailed summaries and reports on every move of the enemy. You are the eyes of our army.
and ears.”
Hou Shun seemed particularly excited after hearing Su Le's words. In fact, on the Tianfang Continent, most of the battles between countries are head-on confrontations. At most, they use battle formations, and rarely pay attention to intelligence and strategy. Therefore, the intelligence organization
Has always been ignored, like the former scouts
His status was also lower. Su Le repeatedly used Hou Shun and Shadow Camp in the Kaishan Camp, which had to move Hou Shun. Therefore, many times, although Hou Shun was very tired, as long as Su Le arranged
If there is a task, he will complete it without hesitation.
"Boss, don't worry, Shadow will be your eyes from now on, the eyes of Kaishan Camp, and the eyes of Ping Kou Third Camp!" Hou Shun knelt down towards Su Le and said with tears in his eyes.
Su Le also didn't expect Hou Shun to be so excited. In his previous life, he attached great importance to intelligence collection. Before fighting, he would definitely have a wide range of spies and scouts. In addition to his own strength, intelligence also played an important role. Unexpectedly, he did so as if he was giving
Hou Shun and others have corrected their names.
Su Le quickly helped Hou Shun up and said with a smile: "We are all brothers, we can't be so polite. Now that the four camps are ready, let's run in together again after Zhenshan Camp and Chuanshan Camp arrive.
Fight tomorrow!"
Everyone bowed their hands in agreement.
After Li Zhu, Lu Jie, and Hou Shun left the camp, Su Le said to Xu Niu: "Daniu, I want to give you a particularly important task. The cave in Hulu Valley must have been dug by now. Today
In the evening, you will break down the military camp and leave quietly, rush to Shangshui Village and move Mr. Li and the others to Calabash Valley."
"What! Are you leaving tonight?" Xu Niu was surprised and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yes, since the Shang Kingdom occupied the Western Xinjiang Plain, our Shangshui Village has also been included in the territory of the Shang Kingdom. I am worried that this time when the barbarians raise troops, the Shang Kingdom will also take the opportunity to raise troops, which will involve them. To be on the safe side, it is better to
Let Mr. Li and the others move as soon as possible!"
"That's what the boss said. Then I'll take the broken barracks and rush to Shangshui Village at night!" Xu Niu was a little worried when Su Bu said this, so he nodded fiercely and said.
"Now that Tongde Pass has been lost, if you want to go back to Shangshui Village, you may have to take a long detour, and there are many mountain roads. You may encounter merchants or monsters on the way. You must be more careful." Su Le.
Knowing that the way back was difficult, large groups of troops were easily exposed, and there were too few people to encounter the enemy and it was difficult to deal with them. Although Xu Niu was most suitable to lead the army camp, he still felt a little uneasy.
"Boss, please relax, I, Xu Niu, am alive and well! I will transfer all the folks in Shangshui Village smoothly, and then I will go to the battlefield to find you!" Xu Niu said with a naive smile.
"That's good. Go down and get ready. Remember not to let others know about this, so as not to cause trouble." Su Le finally reminded.
"Hey!" Xu Niu said and strode away.
After Xu Niu left, Su Le looked at the expressionless Xia Yi and said with a smile: "Sir, I have to go with Mr. Fanyi to help me on this expedition."
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely follow you." Xia Yi said calmly.
"Thank you sir for your kindness." Su Le bowed to Xia Yi and said, "If you don't follow me, I'm not sure about this battle. But if you go with me, I won't be afraid even if the barbarians are fierce!"
"Master, judging from my old servant's opinion, the barbarians must have something to rely on when they raise the army this time. Master must not be careless." Xia Yi frowned and said.
Su Le was a little surprised. Xia Yi usually didn't want to say much. It was rare for him to say such profound words this time. It was somewhat similar to Xing Long's guess. It seemed that Xia Yi was not just a blockhead!
"So sir, what can Shiman rely on this time?" Su Le asked with a smile.
"The Shibarians have existed since the time of Emperor Yongle. They have been dominant in the southwest of the Xia Kingdom for many years. From time to time, they took advantage of the critical situation of the Xia Kingdom to encroach on the southwest border of the Xia Kingdom. However, the successive emperors of the Xia Kingdom have never been able to eliminate the Shiman tribes. In addition to feeling that the Shibarians were
barbarian people
In addition to the sparse population and barren land, I am afraid that they are somewhat motivated and weak. Therefore, the old servant asserts that the barbarians must have something they rely on, either some kind of treasure or some kind of ability. This old servant cannot guess it."
Xia Yi analyzed it calmly.
"Sir, what you said is right. I have been thinking about the sparse population of the barbarians, but they repeatedly invaded the borders of the Xia Kingdom and plundered the Xia Kingdom's population as slaves. However, the Xia Kingdom has never used troops against them. I don't know why." Su Le listened to Xia's population.
When Yi said this, he felt that it was quite reasonable. He was afraid that he had underestimated Shiman.
Xia Yi nodded and stopped talking. Seeing that he was speechless, Su Le asked him to go back and rest. Then he found a top-quality crystalless crystal from the pile of crystal stones. Before the battle, he still had to replenish himself with some energy.
Beijing, Wende Hall.
There is a person sitting on top of the tall dragon throne, it is Xia Yanbing.
There is also a man standing with his head bowed below. He is tall and tall, with gray hair on his temples, a beard like a beard, a broad forehead, protruding forehead bones, a hooked nose like an eagle, and squinting his small eyes, which are not big at all, like two peas, flashing slyly.
Shining light. This person is Nan
Commander-in-Chief Liu Sheng, as a veteran of two dynasties, the brother of the Queen Mother, and the uncle of the Emperor, has always been trusted by the royal family. However, his talent is limited. Although he has been practicing for many years, he has only just entered the realm of martial arts. Last time
Tongdeguanzhi
The war was crucial, and the former emperor's driving force was limited. Fearing that he would lose, he transferred him back to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Xinjiang Army, and appointed Xing Long as the commander-in-chief of the Western Xinjiang Army. The Southern Xinjiang Army was the weakest among the three military regions of the Xia Kingdom
A military region without an elite battalion
Not to mention, there are only ten ordinary battalions. In the last Shiman invasion, three more battalions were lost, and most of the other battalions were also lost. It can be said that there are only a few soldiers. After the Yang family army entered the battlefield, they managed to reduce casualties and maintain the current situation.
There are people.
Liu Sheng was quite dismissive of him, and after the fall of Tongde Pass, he angrily criticized Xing Long for failing to resist in front of all the ministers many times. Although Xing Long had a higher official position than him, after all, he was a relative of the emperor, and his status was naturally different from that of Xing Long.
The dragon is comparable, so you can only admit that you are unlucky.
This time the Shiman army was raised, Liu Sheng also got the news, and immediately went to see Xia Yanbing to ask for a fight. Although Xia Yanbing intended to let Xing Long take command, firstly, Xinglong had to defend the Shang army to the west, and secondly, Liu Sheng's fierce words refused to let him.
He was afraid that he would not be able to justify it, so he nodded and agreed. This time, Xia Yanbing called him here again, presumably not for the expedition.
"Uncle, this time the barbarian king personally took command. Our army has suffered heavy losses since the Battle of Cangqing Forest, and there is no time to recruit new soldiers. The strength of the troops is somewhat tight. You have also been in the Western Xinjiang Army before, so I can only do this this time.
I will allocate four battalions from the Western Xinjiang Army to you, plus the seven battalions of your Southern Xinjiang Army stationed in Qingyun Mountain, a total of 60,000 troops. I wonder if you have any difficulties?" Xia Yanbing stepped down from his seat.
, said with a gloomy look.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Soldiers are more expensive than finesse. Sixty thousand soldiers and horses are enough!" Liu Shenghu's eyes widened and he said fiercely.
"This is very good. My uncle has such confidence, so I feel relieved. The safety of southern Xinjiang this time is entirely due to my uncle. I ask your uncle to help me safeguard the thousands-year-old foundation of the Xia Kingdom." Xia Yanbing bowed deeply to Liu Sheng and said.
"Your Majesty, no!" Liu Sheng hurriedly stopped Xia Yanbing and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the barbarians will not be able to occupy an inch of Xia Kingdom's land even if the old minister is in southern Xinjiang for one day!"
Although the little scholar barbarians were nothing to worry about, Xia Yanbing had been quite uneasy about the rebellion of the scholar barbarians for some reason. Only when he saw Liu Sheng shouting confidently did his worries lessen.
