News one after another finally came back to di du, and the news that Hu Qi was approaching di du was finally confirmed. The whole di du was boiling, and Taiping in the north was a replica of di du. Over the years, this huge city finally
We are about to face the baptism of war, but it seems that di du is not quite ready yet.
There were three major battalions of the Beijing Army stationed around Di Du. During the last battle in Jinzhou, one battalion was taken away by Yu Wenji. Later, when Yu Wenji formed the Beifeng Army, he still sent back some troops to facilitate the reorganization of this army.
One Battalion. However, due to the tight national treasury, the ordnance that should have arrived has been delayed.
The three major battalions of the Beijing Army are the Huwei Camp, the Iron Eagle Camp, and the Cheetah Battalion. Each battalion has a strength of 50,000 people, with one Zhonglang General and one Commander, who will lead the three battalions. However, because Yu Wenji was previously transferred
This position, so this position of commander, has always been vacant. Some people who know the inside story feel extremely pessimistic.
Yu Wenji has been in charge of the three major battalions of the Beijing Army for many years. He has worked hard to run the Huwei Camp in name, and has continuously infiltrated the other two battalions in the dark. After Yu Wenji was transferred, the remaining two battalions carried out large-scale operations.
After the purge, the combat effectiveness plummeted. Not to mention the newly reorganized Huwei Camp, most of the soldiers in it did not even have basic ordnance, and had not even been trained.
In the past, naturally no one cared about these things, because the country had been at peace for too long. The three major camps of the Beijing Army had become a place where many officials' children mixed seniority, although this situation was curbed to the greatest extent when Yu Wenji was around.
, but after this purge, this trend has become more and more intense.
Now, Hu Qi suddenly appeared around Di Du, causing many people to panic. Only then did they think of the three major battalions of the Beijing Army that had been neglected, and the suppressed ordnance was being transferred from Di Du to Huwei Camp.
Soon, the Cheetah Battalion was ordered to go out. Just in case, the Huwei Battalion entered Di Du after just a few days of training. As for the Iron Eagle Battalion, it launched a defense line north of Di Du.
The soldiers coming and going finally made di du feel the flavor of fighting and iron horses, but for people living in di du, it only gave them a little more curiosity. Those who have not been baptized by war will not understand.
The cruelty of war. But for Di Du, the war is still far away. No one would believe that the barbarians in the north would fight against Di Du.
Di Du only paid attention to it. After a steady stream of news, they already knew that there were not many Hu people going south this time, only more than 10,000 people. No one thought that the Cheetah Battalion would lose, not only because the Cheetah Battalion had enough
There are 50,000 people, and the Beijing army's ordnance and equipment are much higher than those of the frontier army.
In the entire di du, only Guan Du was secretly worried. He had seen the power of Hu Qi with his own eyes. After returning to di du from northern Xinjiang, although Guan Du was in the Yushi Division, he also maintained a high degree of attention to the army.
.In particular, as the guardians of Di Du, the three major battalions of the Beijing Army paid special attention to it.
However, after contact, Guandu was quickly disappointed. He soon realized the corruption beneath the glamorous appearance of the Beijing army. A large number of officials' children served as officers, and the soldiers below were only trained once every six months. They were paid empty wages.
The situation is also very serious. Although the three major battalions of the Beijing Army are called 150,000, according to Kanto's estimate, there are at most 100,000. Thank God.
As for the military pay of Tan Mo, it was just a little better than other places. The soldiers received less than 70% of the military pay every month. After seeing the hungry wolf army, Guan Du looked down on the Beijing army even more. As for the generals who commanded the troops, Guan Du
After contacting them all, they became even more disdainful. The generals who commanded the troops were all extremely arrogant.
After so many years of development, the Beijing army has a strong xenophobic character. Therefore, the commanders transferred in from outside are all targets of exclusion. They are constantly stumbling in the dark, leaving these outsiders with no place to gain a foothold. Therefore, the generals inside will
As far as seniority is concerned, some generals who command troops have never been on the battlefield at all, but have gained seniority step by step.
Guandu shook his head when he thought about letting such an army deal with Hu Qi who looked like tigers and wolves. At this time, Guandu would think of that young man and the most powerful army he had ever seen. Guandu had also been on the
Shu, hoping to attract Yang Rui's attention, but he was quickly disappointed. Even Yang Rui didn't think the Cheetah Battalion would lose.
The Lieutenant General of the Cheetah Battalion is named Zhang Lie, and he is forty-five years old this year. In addition to his qualifications, he can sit in this position at this age, but also because he is from the Forbidden Army. In other words, Yang Rui is his biggest backer
Yang Rui also had high hopes for this man who "knows soldiers". Before leaving, he even sent someone to bring him wine.
Of course, Zhang Lie, who has been familiar with military training since he was a child, is also very satisfied. Regarding this encounter with the enemy, Zhang Lie has realized that this is an opportunity for promotion. The position of commanding the three major battalions of the Beijing Army has been vacant for so long, and it is time to get it.
.Yang Rui sent the Cheetah Battalion to go on an expedition, which naturally had such a meaning.
Zhang Lie had no intuitive understanding of Hu Qi. In his opinion, the reason why Hu Qi was so powerful over the years was all due to the failure of the frontier troops. Zhang Lie even privately speculated whether the frontier troops were raising thieves.
The meaning of supporting troops. How powerful can a group of barbarians on the grassland be? These are Zhang Lie's original words.
Naturally, he is quite familiar with the situation of the Cheetah Battalion. The entire army is said to be fifty thousand, but in fact only thirty thousand have emerged. However, Zhang Lie believes that more than ten thousand barbarians on the grassland can stir up big waves. The reason why Zhang Lie is like this
Confident, and the soldier below is fully equipped.
Therefore, Zhang Lie confidently led an army of 30,000 people northward. Along the way, the army moved slowly and sent out a large number of scouts to look for traces of Hu Qi. However, Hu Qi seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, with no trace to be found at all. This made Zhang
Lie was greatly irritated, his temper became more and more irritable day by day, and the soldiers serving around him complained incessantly. Thinking that the entire di du was waiting for his good news, Zhang Lie felt irritable in his heart.
As the 30,000-strong army marches north, there is naturally a steady stream of grain and grass transported behind them. As the Cheetah Battalion continues to advance north, the grain and grass line behind it is getting longer and longer. But Zhang Lie obviously did not notice that all his thoughts now are on
The main force looking for Hu Qi could not even find any trace of the enemy, which made the entire army extremely impatient.
"We can't go on like this." Zhang Lie slammed his hand on the table, and then said: "Now the whole country is waiting for our news, but now we don't even see the shadow of the Hu people." Below.
The other officers listened quietly. Some had disdain on their faces, some had normal expressions, and some had flattering smiles on their faces.
Looking at the faces of the people below, Zhang Lie finally said: "So, I decided to divide the troops." Hearing Zhang Lie's words, the people below began to whisper. Zhang Lie pretended to cough a few times, but the people below
There was no reaction. His face showed anger, and Zhang Lie opened his mouth and said: "Shut up."
Hearing Zhang Lie's scolding, some people were dissatisfied, but it was not easy to get angry at this time. Seeing the silence below, Zhang Lie showed a look of satisfaction on his face. Zhang Lie then turned around and pointed at the people behind him.
Map, and then began to issue orders. Regardless of any dissatisfaction with Zhang Lie, after Zhang Lie assigned the task, the officers below stood up to accept the order, and then left quickly to prepare to go.
No one is so stupid as to contradict Zhang Lie face to face in the general camp. Now he is a soldier, and Zhang Lie is the chief general. With the label of slacking on military affairs, no one can say anything. Watching the people below slowly leaving the tent,
Zhang Lie breathed a sigh of relief. The irritability he had felt recently seemed to have disappeared with the order just given.
This time Zhang Lie made an extremely bold decision. Instead of simply dividing his troops, he divided the entire army into more than a dozen teams of thousands, and then advanced in a fan-shaped formation. In the middle, was Zhang Lie.
He personally led an army of 5,000 men. This decision was definitely extremely bold. Zhang Lie's original intention was to make Hu Qi invisible, and the distance between each 1,000-man army should not exceed one day.
Soon, Zhang Lie's orders were carried out accurately, and one thousand troops after another ran in different directions. If the generals of Northern Xinjiang saw Zhang Lie's arrangement, they would definitely laugh out loud at such an arrangement.
It’s not that he is going to die. But this is di du, and no one understands Hu Qi. After making this decision, Zhang Lie was still humming a tune triumphantly, as if he had solved a huge problem.
As the troops went out one after another, the entire camp gradually became deserted. It was only two days later that Zhang Lie led the army to set off. Most of the troops in the Cheetah Battalion were infantry, and the cavalry was very valuable. Therefore,
After being divided into such teams, each thousand-man team only has a few dozen riders for communication.
Zhang Lie didn't know that he had a pair of cold eyes that had been observing everything silently. "Is the general of the Qin people crazy?" Tara said with a smile, not paying any attention to the Cheetah Battalion led by Zhang Lie.
Li Agudamu nodded with all his thoughts in mind, but did not answer the question. Instead, he looked at the bonfire, not knowing what to think about.
Seeing Agudamu like this, Tara on the side gritted her teeth angrily. Every time when it came to the key point, Agudamu acted like this. Tara asked impatiently: "When will we eat them? Warriors
His scimitar is already eager to drink blood." Agudamu really didn't care about Tara's words.
Seeing that Agudamu didn't answer, Tara said impatiently: "You should say something." Seeing this, Agudamu looked away from the bonfire and said calmly: "Wait a little longer."
After hearing Agudamu's words, Tara stood up and said angrily: "What do you mean? How long do you want our warriors to wait? According to your order, many of our warriors have not eaten hot food.
?”
"The eagle on the grassland can't bear to cry like this?" Agudamu said slowly. This sentence made Tara speechless. What does it mean for the eagle on the grassland to suffer so much?
But La was unyielding and continued to speak: "Don't say this, the Qin people have divided their troops, and now is a great opportunity. Why are you still hesitating?"
Hearing this, Agudamu raised his head and looked at Tara. Tara couldn't stand Agudamu's cold eyes, so she leaned down again, with an angry look on her face. Seeing this, Agudam
Damu also put away his eyes just now, and said instead: "Do you remember what the Khan said before he left?"
Tara replied angrily: "Of course I remember, you have reminded me countless times along the way." Upon seeing this, Agudamu was not angry and continued to speak: "You have to understand our current situation. We are isolated now.
There is no support, there is no support at all. If the warriors below die, one of them will be missing."
"Before I left, the Great Khan gave me thousands of instructions, have you forgotten all of them?" Agudamu continued to speak. Tara slowly put away her previous expression and made a serious look. Both Agudamu and Tara were
Old brother, I already have some thoughts about following Mu Mu'er. But Agudamu is a wise general, and Tara is a brave man who charges.
Agudamu continued: "So, we cannot make any mistakes. When making any decisions, we must be cautious and cautious. We have little capital and cannot withstand any failure." Seeing Tara listening carefully,
Agudamu nodded unconsciously and continued: "That's why I said wait a little longer. Don't underestimate any opponent. Even if the opponent is a rabbit, we must use all our strength."
"I know that the Qin people have divided their forces now, and a great opportunity is before us, but remember, we not only have to eat them, but we also have to preserve our own strength as much as possible, so that we can complete the work of the Great Khan.
Our mission. So, wait a little longer, see the situation, and then." At this point, Agudamu shook his hand fiercely and continued: "Eat them again."
Hearing Agudamu's words, Tara also showed a bloodthirsty expression on her face, and asked: "How long do we have to wait?" Hearing Tara's question, Agudamu looked into the distance.
, and said: "It's not far, it's not far." Hearing Agudamu's words, Taran also had a smile on his face.
Ten thousand Huqi were ready to go, watching eagerly from the side. However, Zhang Lie did not notice anything, but was still complacent about the strategy he had come up with. In the past two days, many teams have sent people to spread the word.
I got a message back, saying that I had found traces of the Hungry Wolf Barbarian, but I hadn’t officially encountered them yet.
After hearing this news, Zhang Lie was determined. He knew that Hu Qi could not hide for long, so in addition to having people bring careful warning information, he was ready to lead the army to continue Ning's support at any time and fight Hu Qi in a battle. Then
As time goes by, the distance between each thousand-man team is gradually widening unknowingly.
A small village. Originally, this small village seemed like a paradise, living a life far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. However, the day before yesterday, with the arrival of more than a thousand soldiers, it became extremely noisy. The captain of this thousand-man team is named
Huo Jia, a standard official's family background. A few days ago, following Zhang Lie's order, he started to leave the camp with a thousand of his men.
When it comes to his own life, Huo Jia was indeed very careful at first. But as time went by, being careful was forgotten. Hu people are not that big of a deal. This is what Huo Jia often worries about these two days.
The words on his lips. The people below were naturally flattering: "The barbarians know that Lord Captain is here, how can they dare to be so presumptuous?"
As Huo Jia's troops moved into this small village, the village's suffering began. These Beijing troops were not hungry wolf troops, and there was no strict military discipline. Coupled with Huo Jia's style, this trend was further encouraged.
At first, they just forced the people in the village to provide supplies. When the villagers carefully brought the food up, Huo Jia knocked it over with one hand and drank: "Just give us these, I and my brothers will do it for you."
During the war, you give us these to eat."
After hanging around in the military camp for a long time, Huo Jia naturally learned a lot of swear words. Huo Jia then shouted: "Brothers, they are not willing to give it, so we take it." Then, there was a sweep.
The chickens, ducks, and geese were all eaten into their stomachs. The people in the village were angry and dared not speak out, because at first some people wanted to resist, but then there was a burst of punches and kicks.
The beaten people couldn't get out of bed for several days. Now, the people in the village no longer dare to care about these soldiers. Just let them take whatever they want. If it's just food, that's fine.
At one o'clock one night, two soldiers took advantage of the night and broke open the door of a house. In front of the men of the house, they killed the woman of the house.
Before leaving, the man of the family wanted to resist, but was accidentally killed by two soldiers. The woman, after the two soldiers left and saw her man killed, also hanged herself. The second
One day, the villagers took the two corpses and found Huo Jia, hoping to seek justice.
But Huo Jia stretched out his neck and said viciously: "Brothers are fighting with their heads raised. What's the point? Besides, I've already heard what they said. It was a mistake that killed that man." Huo Jia wanted to protect him.
The two soldiers were gone, and the people gathered in the village wanted to say something, but Huo Jia immediately asked people to surround them, and unsheathed their swords. Looking at the shining white swords, the villagers chose to surrender.
They silently carried the corpse and dispersed, but when they left, everyone's eyes showed hatred. Looking at Huo Jia's attitude, the soldiers below understood something. With Huo Jia's connivance,
These soldiers finally revealed the ugliest side of human nature. They can do anything.
In the past two days, every soldier looked at Huo Jia with eyes full of gratitude, which made Huo Jia feel a little light-headed. Huo Jiacai had never been like now, thinking that he had captured the hearts of the soldiers. These soldiers were here when they were having fun, so naturally they didn't.
Forgetting Huo Jia, he sent the most beautiful girl in the village to Huo Jia's room. Huo Jia was also very happy to enjoy it.dd
