The fiery red sun slowly rises from the east, and there is still a faint morning mist on the earth. The north of October is approaching winter, and the howling autumn wind makes the floating or unicorn flags flutter.
Outside the East City, more than 10,000 soldiers stood quietly in the wilderness, waiting for the order to set off. Hundreds of meters away, there were countless people watching from afar, silently blessing the army that was about to enter Bai County.
"Sir, the siege equipment has arrived in Wuji County and is requisitioned at any time." Lu Shijie, the head of the craftsman, reported to Zhao Xun, who was preparing to travel.
"Well, the territory of my Yanzhou Prefecture is not something that the people of Marine can be involved in. I will remember the merits of craftsmen in the camp. Ordinary people reward one tael of silver for craftsmen, five taels of craftsmen, and ten taels of supervisors.
”
"Thank you!"
"Send the order and set off!"
Nearly ten thousand fire-supern troops headed straight to the northeast. On the city wall, all the left-behind officials were silently watching the far away Fire-supern flag.
This expedition, there were five thousand Right Prefecture troops, all of which were infantrymen. Li Chenfeng took over the left prefecture general, Xue Lei took over as the general of the Right Prefecture Army, and Zhao Xun no longer served as the general of the Right Prefecture Army; one thousand Chongjiazhang
, the heavy infantry were replaced by Chongkai's infantry. Of course, the armor was only worn during wars; the four cavalry battalions were obtained from Qi Yan's new war horse station, namely Zhongzi, Guzi, and Gang
The name is Ying and Xin. Among them, the name Zhongying was considered an old soldier, and the original half-cavalry and half-stage were organized into cavalry.
The Zuofu Army was left behind in Yanzhou City, and the veterans' characters were Ying, the characters were Ying, the characters were Ying, the characters were Ying, and the characters were Ying, and the characters were Ying. There was a lot of soldiers in the Huolin Army, but Zhao Xun could no longer continue to expand, not because of the soldiers.
The source was insufficient, but Yanzhou Prefecture could no longer afford more troops. The grain and grass from Shiping Town were also transported to Yanzhou City one by one and stored in the Huolin Army Treasury.
The newly built light cavalry not only has a unified and exquisite lock scale armor, but also has thick steel sheets added to important parts of the body, which is far higher in defense than ordinary light cavalry wearing thick leather armor.
The weapon in his hand was a cavalry spear that was nearly three meters long, with a thick-backed horizontal knife that was conducive to chopping at his waist. There were also three short javelin slots on both sides of the cross section of the war horse and three sharp pitchers inserted.
This allows the light cavalry that strengthened its defense to have very good maneuver power and impact. This is the new weapon configuration of the cavalry when the Huolin Army is short of its numbers. In addition, the personal guard camp is equipped with one person.
Light crossbows are the ultimate weapon at close range. If it weren't for the difficulty of making, Zhao Xun would have thought of letting someone take a hand. This kind of one-hand crossbow arrow is simple to operate and has high shooting accuracy, so it can allow cavalry to be on the back of a horse.
Relying on one foot to open the crossbow arrow and put it in the crossbow, it can give the enemy a great lethality. After testing, a one-handed crossbow can easily shoot through soldiers without Zhongkai's protection beyond 150 steps.
For the Marine Army, hitting is death.
In the evening, the Huolin Army marched into Wuji County. Wuji County Magistrate Yu Wenhai and Zhao Kang, the commander of Shanziying, who was responsible for leaving behind, welcomed Zhao Xun into the county after supplementing the newly built new Shanziying.
After some greetings, Zhao Xun asked directly: "Mr. Yu County Magistrate, you already know the purpose of our visit. Are the personnel responsible for the logistics ready?"
"Sir, don't worry. Wuji County learned that the Huolin Army was going to counterattack Bai County, and they all signed up to assist the adults. Five thousand young and strong people are at their disposal."
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work in County Magistrate Yu. Only in this battle will Yanzhou Prefecture be completely recovered and there is no need to lose anything."
"My Huolin Army is different from the past. Those treacherous people will never allow them to be corpses. Once they are discovered, they will never let them go. The Shadow Guard has found many people to talk to. Yu County Magistrate has become a parent official and wants to do so.
The example of all officials.”
Yu Wenhai responded repeatedly: "The officials understand that the officials must do practical things for the people." Yu Wenhai knew very well about the Shadow Guard among the Fire Lin Army. Many officials of the people who were a thousand fish and meat were taken down by the Shadow Guard.
, he was ruined. Although he was not that kind of person, he was also afraid that Shadow Guard would live by his side like this and always pay attention to his every move.
After accompanying the new officials of Wuji County for dinner, Zhao Xun rejected the residence arranged by Yu Wenhai and returned to the military camp.
"Qingshan, how do you feel in Chongjia Camp?" Zhao Xun couldn't help asking, looking at Zhao Qingshan, who is now the captain of the first battalion, standing in the big tent and pretending to behave.
Zhao Qingshan scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Sir, it's okay to let me fight on the battlefield. If I were to command my brothers to fight, I would be afraid..."
Zhao Xun shook his head helplessly. Zhao Qingshan seemed to be the only one who was a captain. With his temperament, he could not hold a high position.
"Then learn more, don't always think about fighting the enemy. You are the lieutenant, who is in charge of the lives of thousands of people. You can't throw more than a thousand brothers away just by impulse. You are the old man around me.
I don't want you to be just an ordinary soldier."
Zhao Qingshan also understood Zhao Xun's care for him and said movedly: "Don't worry, sir, Qingshan will never disappoint sir."
When everyone saw Zhao Xun's care for Zhao Qingshan, the rest were envious. The Chongjia Camp was not an ordinary camp, but part of Zhao Xun's personal guards. Under the same level, they were half a level higher than others.
"Situ Liang, what's the situation in Bai County now?"
Situ Liang replied: "Since the withdrawal of the Marine Army, for some reason, the head commander of the Marine Army, that is, the eldest prince, evacuated Bai County and rushed back to Bodu's troops. Now there are less than five thousand defenders in Bai County,
The main general is Shinhan. This Shinhan is said to be a famous warrior from the Bodu tribe, and he has the courage of ten thousand men. In more than a month, the city walls of Bai County were also extended to a distance of 12 meters high, and they were ready to defend them allegedly.
”
Zhao Xun sneered: "The courage of ten thousand men is not worthy of being? The commander of the Little Little Literature dares to claim that the courage of ten thousand men is not worthy of being, and is arrogant."
Situ Liang smiled and said, "Compared with the lord, it is naturally fireflies and bright moon. However, this is a very good way to lead troops, but it is not valued by their great prince. However, more than 4,000 people stick to the white world."
The county is not very difficult for us.”
Bai County, Wuji County at night seemed particularly quiet. At the moment, the Marine Army prohibited people from moving around in Bai County at night. Second, the news that the Yan army was going to attack Bai County had spread to Bai County. This caused the Bai County to be particularly nervous.
The rest of the Han people who wandered around at night were all killed by the Marine Army on the spot. The bloody fact told the Han people in Bai County that in Bai County, the Marine Army had the final say in Bai County.
"Report! Report to the Lord, the Yan army had arrived in Wuji County in the west in the afternoon and was stationed outside Wuji County first." Under the candlelight, Xiao Han, with a gloomy face, quietly listened to the news of the horse's return.
"How many of them are there?" asked Jinghan calmly.
"Sir, the Yan army had nearly 10,000 people on this trip, half of the invaders and half of the cavalry." The detective said carefully the news he had obtained.
"Okay, you go down and get ten taels of silver rewards by yourself." Xiao Han waved his hand and asked the sling to retreat.
"Ten Thousands of People! It seems that Zhao Xun is bound to meet Bai County." As the candlelight swayed, Xiao Han's face became more and more gloomy.
"Brother, why don't we retreat? With the 4,000 people, we can't defend Baixian at all. Let's not say that among these 4,000 people, most of them are wounded." Sitting not far from Jinghan, she was with Jinghanyou
The middle-aged man who met seventy or eighty-eight parts said.
"Retreat? Can we retreat? Mo Yun, the eldest prince is here, you don't know what it means. If we retreat, what will happen?" Shin Han stared at the shaking candle flames, Shen
He said, revealing this kind of helplessness and resentment in his tone.
Mo Yun was silent for a moment and said bitterly: "Brother, you are really, why did you get into trouble with the eldest prince for those people?"
"Second brother, those are not a few people, not dozens or hundreds, but those are 15,000 people. If they are gone, they will be gone. It's ridiculous. These people are not dead on the battlefield with the enemy.
The first one died in the hands of one's own people. 50,000 people, what happened? In the end, only 10,000 people were successfully retreated, forty thousand people, the Death Warrior! If my letter could be notified, these 40,000 people
At least 30,000 people can withdraw to Bai County smoothly. Will the Huolin Army still dare to attack Bai County? With Bai County as a bridgehead, wouldn’t it be easy to capture Yanzhou Prefecture again in the future? Unfortunately, it’s a pity that it’s an internal fight.
Not only did we sacrifice 40,000 warriors in vain, we also made our advantages disappear.”
Mo Yun said unconvincedly: "Brother, even if we lose Baixian, after this winter, we can still take over Yanzhou Prefecture again."
Shin Han sneered: "Again? We can successfully attack Yanzhou Prefecture this time. First, the Yan army in Yanzhou Prefecture is not prepared, and second, someone opens the city gate for us. It will not be so easy next time, let alone Yan.
There are three other tribes peeking around the state prefecture.”
Mo Yun smiled bitterly and said, "No matter what, the eldest brother shouldn't go against the eldest prince. Whether it is the eldest prince or other princes ascend to the top of the tribe, we are all subordinates."
When Shin Han heard this, he was speechless, but his eyes revealed this unspeakable grief and anger.
Seeing his elder brother like this, Moyun stopped continuing the topic and continued: "Brother, it is said that Yan Xu defected to the Huolin Army and killed two thousand Marine people..."
Shin Han said angrily: "Don't mention him, an ungrateful guy, cut him into pieces sooner or later."
"Second brother, I will send someone to the tribe to urge food and grass tomorrow, so you can go back with the team."
"What? Brother, I want to stick to Baixian with you and never do it..."
"Listen to me, go back and take good care of me, your sister-in-law, your nephew and niece, I don't want us to die here, so that they have no one to rely on."
"Brother..."
"Go, you'll set off with the team as soon as tomorrow dawn! Do you want me to die with your eyes open?"
Moyun agreed helplessly with tears in her eyes.
Looking at the swaying candlelight, Xiao Han sighed helplessly, and finally said silently: "Yan Xu, maybe your choice is right. The man of the steeple is not the object we can rely on."
Because I learned that the secret letter he had given to Yanzhou was intercepted by the eldest prince's people halfway and did not pass it on, I argued with the eldest prince and was arranged by the eldest prince to stay in Baixian County, but only 4,000 remaining soldiers were left. Rather than saying that I was holding on, I would not
