After Yan Xu and Helianyu rushed to Liangzhen with their soldiers, Zhao Mang did not accompany him, but returned to the valley five miles away, and they also had their own tasks.
Behind a narrow mountain road, there is a wide valley, and more than a thousand soldiers of the Fufeng Camp are stationed here. Of course, they, like Chilang Camp, have no mounts and become infantrymen who have crossed mountains and ridges.
, however, for them, it does not affect their combat effectiveness.
Around the bonfires, there were piles of soldiers sitting quietly, talking in a low voice or warming up with the fire, and some lying on the side to revitalize their energy.
"The lieutenant is back. It seems we have work to do." Seeing Zhao Mang slowly climbing into the valley, many people whispered. Many people couldn't wait to get along with the Martyr for this action.
It was a battle. You should know that in addition to basic salary, the soldiers of the Huolin Army made great contributions, but they had a lot of rewards. For this reason, the Huolin Army was all militant. When they heard that there were
When they fought, they all asked for a fight. Even if they sneaked into Yingzhou Prefecture this time, Zhao Mang spent a lot of effort to obtain this qualification.
"Prepare, let's go to Wohu Mountain now, Xiang Yan, send someone to Wohu Mountain to say hello first. We will go to Wohu Mountain before dawn to meet them and let them get ready. I don't want them to
When he arrived at Wohu Mountain, he had another conflict with the Yingzhou army, which ruined the big thing." Zhao Mang got off the horse and passed the order.
"Sir, didn't we say we would take a rest here for a night and set off tomorrow morning? Why do we have to rush to the road overnight?" Wen Ding and Gao Wen were a little surprised when they heard the orders different from the plan, and thought that something had happened.
Zhao Mang said: "There are only one thousand troops of the Fu Ni army who went out of the city first, which is not as much as we expected. This has some impact on the subsequent plans, so I want to join the Yingzhou army to see if I can set up an ambush and cause a heavy blow.
The army of the Moe Funie tribe allows our follow-up plan to be implemented accurately. The only 300 war horses seized this time can be ridden, and I will leave them all to the Chilang Camp, and they are the main force below. Without mounts, we
We must speed up so as not to have any accidents, so that the brothers can act quickly and prepare to set off.”
After seizing 4,000 intact war horses at one time, the Yingzhou army suddenly became lively. Although most of them were not good at riding horses, it did not affect their love for war horses. Not to mention anything else, even if they had war horses, they would be much faster even if they were traveling.
In addition, the food, money and valuable materials stored by those "big households" in Xinyan Town were also transported away.
Looking at the lively soldiers on the road, Li Xu and several instructors from the personal guard camp shook their heads secretly.
"What? This is why the instructors don't seem to be very satisfied with this big victory?" Zhang Wei, who was so happy that he couldn't find Bei, saw several instructors shook his head secretly and couldn't help asking.
Li Xu said: "A little victory will bring you something to mind. It is difficult to achieve great things. A arrogant soldier will be defeated. Fortunately, this place is far from Le'an County."
An instructor on the side also said: "Yes, if my Huolin Army was involved in this battle, I would definitely be rushing to the Wohu Mountain now, speeding up to the Wohu Mountain. After all, after dawn, the greater the danger. Maybe Le'an County
The rescue cavalry is chasing us."
The smiles on Zhang Wei and his men gradually disappeared. According to Li Xu and the others, the Yingzhou Army, which was already an elite soldier in his eyes, was still much worse than the Huo Lin Army.
How strong is the Huo Lin Army? Xu Qian and others looked at each other and saw this question from each other's eyes, and at the same time there was a hint of horror.
"Let the soldiers speed up their journey, don't make loud noises, don't fall behind!" Li Gan immediately ordered the entire army to retreat quickly under the warning of Li Xu.
Although he knew that someone would intercept the pursuers of the Marine Army in Le'an County, Li Xu was unwilling to have any changes. At this moment, being cautious only has the benefits and no harm.
"Brother Li, the Shadow Guard heard news that the pursuers of the Marine Army had been killed, but the Nufeng Camp was about to rush to Wohu Mountain to meet with us and prepare for follow-up actions. Let us announce to the Yingzhou Army, so as not to be able to avoid Cause conflict.”
Li Xu heard this and said, "Go to us? Well, I'll go and inform the Yingzhou Army in a while. It seems that Nufeng Camp is going to launch a big operation here."
When I returned to Wohu Mountain, the sky was already slightly bright. Although it was still dark, within a few meters, I could see the figures in a vague way. After arranging the excited soldiers to go down and rest, Li Xu recruited the Yingzhou army. The captain and the captain of the lieutenant discussed the matter after this battle. For ordinary soldiers, if they win, they don’t need to care about anything else, but for generals, there are still many things to consider.
Seeing that all seven or eight people had left their seats, Li Xu said lightly: "How is it? Have the war horses been resettled?"
Otherwise, Zhang Wenyan of the logistics department said: "Don't worry, Lord Li, there is a large open space in the back village of Wohu Mountain, which is enough to accommodate war horses, but our forage also requires a lot of forage. War horses not only require forage, but also add soybeans and other beans. Only by preventing the war horse from losing weight.”
Li Xu said: "Don't worry about this, we will have it soon. Let me tell you, a thousand Fire Inner Army will arrive here and join you in the battle together."
"Huo Lin Army?" The rest of the people were shocked.
"The Huolin Army has arrived here? How did they come here? Didn't it mean that there were marches outside Yanshan Fort?"
Li Xu said: "Okay, needless to say, the Huolin Army did reach the northern part of Yingzhou Prefecture. After we seized 4,000 war horses, Le'an County also sent pursuers, but they had been killed by the Huolin Army. But we They would never give up after snatching the 4,000 war horses of the marshal army. In addition, we killed another 1,000 cavalry of the marshal army, and they hated us to the core. If they didn't kill us, they would never let it go. Stop. I guess there are already large troops in Le'an County leaving the city and rushing to investigate here. Maybe there will be other troops coming soon. Therefore, we need to join forces to solve the problem of this Martial Army in Le'an County. The army has opinions No?" After saying that, his cold eyes swept across everyone's face, making everyone feel cold.
Xu Qian said first: "Then welcome the arrival of the Huolin Army. I think with the participation of the Huolin Army, it is no longer a luxury to defeat the Marin Army."
The rest of the people suppressed the distracting thoughts in their hearts and said repeatedly: "Yes... With the Huolin Army, it's no problem to defeat the Maru Army."
Li Xu said again: "This Furious Forecast Camp is the personal guard of Lord Zhao Xunzhao, the commander of the Huolin Army. It was originally a cavalry, but in order to sneak into this place, he did not bring his mounts, so..."
At Xu Qian's gesture, Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "We have provided this mount. Most of our soldiers will not ride horses. In the short term, it is useless. It is better to send it to the Huolin Army. On the battlefield, kill a few more enemies. Furthermore, we obtain war horses, but the Huolin Army also killed the pursuers of the Marine Army for us. Perhaps a thousand war horses should be justified."
"Yes, I also think Captain Zhang is right. We will provide it with more than a thousand war horses." Xu Qian said immediately afterwards.
The other few people secretly hated Zhang Wei and the others for talking in front of him, but they had to say it at this moment, and quickly agreed with them. In this way, more than a thousand war horses in the Nufeng Camp were obtained.
Li Xu nodded to Zhang Wei and smiled, "Thank you, Huo Linjun will not forget you."
As Li Xu said, Le'an County is also preparing for the task of sending troops.
"Sir, General Changwen has never sent a message back after leaving the city last night, right?"
As the sky was getting dark, Lei Du gathered the generals from Le'an County and prepared to send troops to Xinyan Town to find the group of Yan troops who had robbed their war horses to take revenge.
There are not many troops in Le'an County, because at the northern end there is Yanshan Fort Camp, where there are 8,000 Marine troops stationed there. There are naturally not many troops in Le'an County behind it. Therefore, there are only 3,000 troops.
However, because Le'an County had to bear the food and grass for the Yanshan Fort Camp, three thousand were later transferred from other counties, totaling 6,000 soldiers. In addition, there were two thousand servants, which were the "pseudo army". Youle
The original government troops and battalions in An County have transformed. At any time, there is no shortage of people who have turned their backs on their ancestors, let alone just some ordinary people who want to live.
Hearing his subordinates' words, Lei Du was also a little uneasy. His general order was to track down the whereabouts of the army, rather than to fight with it. Although cavalry was better than infantry, everything was possible in the dark, which made Lei Du
I regret my impulse and should not send thousands of cavalrymen to Xinyan Town. In fact, I just need to send some scouts.
"There are still five thousand light cavalry and two thousand servants in the city. I will take two thousand light cavalry to Xinyan Town and check it out. Yunqi, stay and show me the Le'an County." Lei Du thought for a moment, but still
He always felt something was wrong when he decided to go to check it out in person.
Yun Yan, with a national face and angered eyebrows and wide mouth, said: "General, please bring more people, after all, there are more than 3,000 Yan troops that have appeared."
Lei Du shook his head and said, "It's not that I am arrogant, not that I am a 3,000 infantrymen, but that I am not careful. What is the army of Yingzhou Prefecture? You don't know what it is.
Compared with four thousand war horses, the food and food resources in Le'an County are more important. Yan State lacks horses, but our tribes do not lack horses. If you want to occupy the great land of Yan State, you can only relax your supervision after you have consolidated your foundation.
.So, the remnants of the Yingzhou Prefecture Army that made trouble in Le'an County must be completely dealt with, otherwise it will only have a very bad impact on my rule here."
Yunqi said again: "Why don't you stay behind? I will take people to check and see what's going on?"
"No!" Lei Du waved his hand and said, "This matter will be handled personally. I want to see, how did the two or three hundred remaining troops suddenly become more than 3,000?"
In fact, Lei Du still felt a little uneasy in his heart. Even now he guessed whether the thousand cavalry in Changwen had been completely wiped out by the Yan army, but he still had luck in his heart.
"No, Changwen must have gone to investigate the remnants of the Yan army. How could a thousand cavalry be defeated by the Yan army, which is all infantry?" Lei Du thought to himself.
Two thousand cavalrymen once again faced the cold wind and the faint rising sun, and several people quietly left in the fields not far away.
