Chapter 799: Sideside Scenery
Among the miscellaneous items is the shaman's codex, which was in the hands of the ink painting before, but now it is in the hands of the horse thief, this codex should be the next volume, and then turned to a portable soldier and said: "You take this codex back to the capital and ask the Guangyin Taoist to translate." β
"You don't have to go back to the capital, Uncle Bai Nina is also a native of Qiuzi, Bai Nina is in Yunzhou, just go to Yunzhou, I think it's better to go to Yunzhou and invite Bai Nina to come to Camel City, if you have any questions, you can also ask. Gu Biluo, who was lying on the marching bed, only heard one sentence and guessed one or two
Shen Feng nodded, and said, "You go to Yunzhou quickly and order Bai Nina to come to Camel City!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers were ordered to leave.
Gu Biluo said: "What did you find, is there anything about Loulan?"
Shen Feng put away the codex and avoided answering: "Wait until Bai Nina comes, Lord Wu, take care of her." β
"The lower officer obeyed. β
The prison army glanced at Gu Biluo, with a slight smile in his eyes, as if he was making fun of her embarrassment at this time, but Gu Biluo shot a sharp look, and the prison army turned around and sat down in a proper manner.
"General Qiyu, the Xuanji (pot of wine) Taoist has come to the city. β
A subordinate soldier came to report, and Shen Feng immediately went to see Uncle Jujiu, in the past six months, the Tiance army has used 100,000 troops, Poured 100,000 people to build city defenses, spent immeasurable financial and material resources, almost poured the power of the country, but also burdened thousands of infamy and doubts, the price was too expensive, used their own army, and the people also spent money, but many outsiders believe that Shen Feng coerced the imperial court to forcibly levy taxes and harsh taxes, and many places used this name to collect taxes privately, and the local people did not know the truth, and the scolding was directed at Tiance Mansion.
In today's troubled times, a person who is too powerful will be criticized and questioned by most of the people, but Shen Feng has to do this, and he has seen an organ that is several times ahead of the contemporary era in Yanguan Mozuka, and I believe that the heirs of the Guigu faction public loss class also have very clever skills, and the destruction of the mechanism is extremely powerful, so Shen Feng must vigorously build city defenses to deal with the heirs of the public loss class.
Coupled with the previous invention of armaments and weapons by craftsmen, Shen Feng's net worth was almost all put into it, and even the Lin family's property was emptied.
If it goes on like this, the money is simply not enough to finish this battle, unless it is supported by the whole world, but at this time, the hearts of the people in the world are not tied to a rope, the imperial court has just experienced a coup d'Γ©tat and needs to rectify the world, and the treasury is also in short supply, and at this time there is no military salary, even if he wants to take it, some people in the court will definitely say that he wants to rebel, if the person in charge of the court is not a descendant of Tiance Mansion, Tiance Mansion will be more difficult.
The spring season, is the time to plant crops, at this time the two countries are at war, the people complain, the plan of the year lies in the spring, if there is no labor service in the spring, those ordinary people will be very difficult this year, therefore, the camel city gate tun a pile of rice grain, at this time the people are queuing at the city gate to receive rice grain.
If you want to stay in the camel city, each family will be given ten liters of rice (one stone) per month, but the people who stay behind will need to exchange labor for rice and grain, and if they do not want to stay in the camel city, the army will issue ten stone of rice grain as a dismissal, and their land will be temporarily owned by the army.
If the people had land in their own homes, they would stay in the camel city, and at the time of the autumn harvest, they would have to pay part of the rice grain to the army, but those who stayed behind not only volunteered to join the army, but also offered the surplus rice and grain from their families to help the army fight against Rouran.
At the gate of the city, the people lined up to receive rice grain, most of these people were going to leave and flee, and they climbed on the city platform, and the uncle of the pot wine master was standing on the city gate, looking down at the yellow sand in the distance.
"Uncle Shi, how is Yunzhou armed?"
Uncle Teapot Wine said: "The terrain of Yunzhou is gentle, it is difficult to deploy, if Rouran attacks Yunzhou on a large scale, I am afraid that Yunzhou will be difficult to resist for three days." β
"The Rouran army will not attack Yunzhou in a big way, so Yunzhou is only a symbolic fortification, and the most important thing is to keep Xingqing and Camel City, I hope that Rouran will attack from Yunzhou"
Hujiu was puzzled: "Then why don't you just give up Yunzhou?"
"Yunzhou is not important to Rouran, but it is extremely important to the Tiance army, if the camel city is broken, Yunzhou and Xingqing are a floodgate, you can directly attack Rou and then Fang, so that Rouran is difficult to attack Guanzhong, once Guanzhong is lost, Rouran can entrench in Guanzhong, then we will be in danger. β
"If I were Rouran, I would attack the camel city first, then take Yunzhou, and then take Guanzhong directly, Rouran's troops are much stronger than us, we can't divide the eggs equally in three baskets, there must be a primary and secondary division. β
The pot said, "In this way, you are not sure. β
Shen Feng smiled bitterly: "After arriving at the battlefield, I felt like I was playing at home before, and Rouran was attacked by a million male divisions, how sure can I be, I only tell you these words, every step I take now is a gamble." β
Jujiu stared at a pair of eyes the size of broad beans, and jumped on the city wall in a hurry: "Stinky boy, according to what you say, wouldn't what you let me do in vain!"
Shen Feng smiled bitterly again: "If Rou Ran doesn't fight over, I can't help it, I can't point to Rou Ran and call in." β
Jujiu said angrily: "Lao Tzu doesn't care, Lao Tzu has worked hard for half a year, and if you don't fight Rouran, what's the point!"
Shen Feng said with a heavy expression: "Not using it is the best result, if it really comes to that point, it can only be said that it has been forced to a dead end." β
The pot of wine said: "Then it's better to take it out in advance, how much can you use, right here in the camel city, Lao Tzu guarantees that Rouran can't come in a step!"
Shen Feng sneered: "Don't forget that Rouran also has the heirs of the Gong Losing Class, their ancestors are on par with your ancestors in terms of attainments in the mechanical arts, and they have been inherited for hundreds of years, and their mechanical skills will not lose to you." β
The pot wine mouth said stubbornly: "Lao Tzu's mechanism technique is the best in the world, in that kind of place where birds don't, what kind of clever mechanism can be developed." β
"I hope so. Shen Feng sighed and said, "But the hole cards can't be shown in advance, and I haven't seen Rouran's true face clearly." β
"That camel city doesn't keep ?!?," Jujiu instigated: "Camel City is so important, it's better to take a treasure out first, let them taste the power of the machine, and by the way, frustrate their spirit!"
"Listen to my orders!" Shen Feng had a plan in his heart, "As long as you are on this battlefield, there will be a chance for your Mo family's skills to become famous." β
Jujiu said disdainfully: "Who is rare about this, the Mo family has long been dilapidated, we only pass on the skills and not the fame, Lao Tzu wants to see how our treasures play a wonderful role, they only have life on the battlefield, otherwise it is just a pile of broken copper and iron." β
This kind of process engineer will want his work to give soul, make mobile phones naturally want mobile phones to be used by the world, build airplanes naturally want to see this plane soaring into the world, otherwise it is just a decoration.
Shen Feng nodded and said, "Rouran has the Guigu Sect, your trick will definitely come in handy, don't worry." "The level of this great war is epoch-making.
"Let's go, some equipment was damaged during transportation, and the craftsmen in the army were helpless, so they could only ask Uncle Shi to repair it. β
"The craftsmen you want to leave from me are all some young craftsmen, experience and skills are my disciples who have just started, you also know a little bit of fur, experience is the treasure of craftsmen's art, although they are smart, but the experience is shallow, and some experienced old craftsmen encounter problems. β
The two walked and talked, and came to the armory, the southwest corner of the armory city, outside the warehouse, there was a triangular iron tower, under the iron tower there were eight wheels, and on the inclined plane there was a conveyor belt, which was an auxiliary tool invented for the defense of the city.
This conveyor belt was proposed by Shen Feng, and then designed and invented by the pot of wine, mainly responsible for transporting objects to the city wall guards, in the past, the soldiers defending the city were hung up one by one by tying ropes, which was very laborious and slow, and the number and weight of the conveyed objects were also limited, and this conveyor belt could bear a larger number and weight, although it was still driven by manpower, it was also several times more efficient and faster than before.
This conveyor belt is only the tip of the iceberg of the entire arsenal, which will be unveiled one by one as the war continues.
Every day, Shen Feng patrols inside and outside the camel city, inspecting all important locations in the city, controlling the situation in the city, and finally going to the school field.
The school field is distributed outside the city, in the past few months, the strength of the camel city garrison has expanded from 80,000 to 100,000, the soldiers have to train every day, and can only arrange the school field training outside the city, the training method is Shen Feng and Gu Biluo jointly researched and formulated, physical training and targeted training, physical training is the basic training of each soldier, and they are all weight-bearing physical training, as for the targeted training is a fundamentally different type of troops, that is, even the logistics troops are also targeted training, the battlefield can not be slowed down for a moment, the soldiers are expensive in the speed, and the soldiers in any link can not be disconnectedγ
Walk to the school field outside the city, the soldiers on the school field are practicing majestically, these soldiers are infantry, they are training in a new system, first carrying two sandbags back and forth to sprint ten laps, and then enter the quagmire to move forward, after coming out of the quagmire, climb a wooden wall, climb over the past, turn twenty times with the head as the fulcrum, and finally walk a log, and so on.
Every day these are the basic exercises of soldiers, whether it is cavalry, infantry, city defense soldiers, archers and even militia and logistics soldiers need to carry out these basic exercises, after completing the basic training, it is targeted training, although so many weapons and armaments have been invented, but the era of cold weapons has reached the most brutal stage or close combat, so every day soldiers must train close combat.
Ho!
Ho! Ho!
When Shen Feng walked to the phalanx of the soldiers, the soldiers were training with swords and guns, and the momentum was as majestic as the rainbow swallowing the sun.
Yang Mo in front of the phalanx waved his hand, and the trained soldiers immediately stopped, Yang Mo clenched his fists and bowed: "Meet the general!"
Meet the General!
After several months of training, these soldiers are more elite than before, not weaker than the naturally strong Rouran army, at least not vulnerable, if you want to break through this well-trained army, even Rouran will have to pay a heavy price.
This army is far from being the main force of the Tiance Army.
Although the camel city is important, it can't put the main army in this place, and before the complete strength of Rou Ran is clear, the main force of nearly 300,000 Tiance can't come out.
The main force of Tiance has increased from 200,000 to 300,000, and the promotion system and special system are adopted within the Tiance army, and the promotion system is very well understood, that is, the soldiers have combat merits and experience, and their performance in peacetime training is outstanding, and after a period of consideration, they can be organized into the main force of Tiance.
The Tiance army is divided into four levels, in turn is Shenwu, Beifu, Xuanjia and Broken Army, the main army is Xuanjia and Broken Army, and the Broken Army is the most elite army of Tiance Mansion, which is called the Broken Army alone, which means the army that is broken everywhere, in Xingqing, Camel City and Yunzhou is the Shenwu Battalion and the Beifu Army, in fact, there is a mysterious army in the Tiance Army, there are few people who know about the Tiance Army, this mysterious army is only under the orders of Shen Feng alone, except for Shen Feng, no one can launch this army.
This army consists of only a few hundred men, but each of them is carefully selected, all of them are gifted talents, and their bodies can withstand the most brutal training and hone into the sharpest weapons!
But this army has not yet appeared.
"Let the soldiers continue to practice, training must not be slack, Yang Mo, if you forget them to practice for one more day, he will be less dangerous on the battlefield, and they will practice more ruthlessly, and they will be able to live more hours on the battlefield!"
Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers with dark skin and sweating profusely, his heart was extremely heavy, and the lives of tens of thousands of people were shouldered on him, which was an unbearable responsibility, and he must be ruthless and train these soldiers to the death.
"It's a general!" Yang Mo was the commander of the Shenwu Battalion at this time, controlling the Shenwu Battalion, he knew very well that what he was going to face was a vicious battle, and he didn't dare to slack off for a moment of daily practice, and then shouted: "Continue to practice for me, practice until you lie down, whoever lies down will admit it!"
"Yes!"
Ten thousand people shouted, and continued to practice with a knife and a gun, and the general personally supervised the training, and the soldiers were in high spirits and practiced more vigorously!
Shen Feng's face was grim and expressionless, but his blood was boiling in his body, and he walked into the phalanx and inspected every small phalanx.
"Report!"
A sentry came quickly, and the spy dismounted and rushed into the phalanx, "Report to the general, twenty miles northwest of the camel city, an army has been found marching towards the camel city! The number is about five thousand. β
"Go and explore again, report every five miles!" Then he said: "Yang Mo, bring a thousand people from your Shenwu Battalion and stand by." β
"The last general commands!"
Soon the horn of the guard in the city sounded, and the camel city suddenly became noisy, but this kind of hustle and bustle was orderly, although it was only a common alert, but it could be seen that the reaction speed of the army, and a thousand soldiers of the Shenwu battalion quickly gathered behind the city gate.
On the city wall, Shen Feng looked into the distance, judging from the speed of the army's march, it didn't look like it was coming to attack, and according to the spies, this army was not the Rouran army, but a very small tribe in the grassland, and this team was very slow, obviously after a long journey, but a team that fled.
"Who is going to do it?"
Gu Biluo hurriedly walked to the city wall, her clothes were wet with sweat on her head, she was just wearing a simple dress, which was very light and simple, and a light armor was draped over her clothes.
Shen Feng wore armor and stood in the center of the city wall, and said, "I don't know, I just know that it is a small tribe, but it is not an enemy." β
"It's very unusual to come to Camel City at this time, we have been at war with Rouran for many years, and there are people in their tribe who are good at using tricks, have you found the Rouran army?"
"The spies came to report, there is no Rouran army found eighty miles away, I know what you are worried about, although I am not familiar with Xiaocao'er, but I believe her words very much, and I will see it when this tribe comes. β
As night fell, the tribe marched slowly, and it could be seen that it was a wandering tribal procession, and the torches were lit on the city wall, and the firelight illuminated the camel city, and then the firelight looked at it, and the tribe was already a hundred meters away.
The horn of the guard sounded on the city wall, breaking the long-dormant camel city, and the guards shouted: "Whoever invades the border of my Chen country, quickly dismount and collect the troops, we are ordered by the world to guard the border, if there is an attacker, he will be killed!"
The tribal ranks immediately stopped, and the leaders of the tribes who took the lead also dismounted, and none of their swords were unsheathed, and sure enough, as expected, the people who came were not the enemy troops who had come to invade.
Several of the leaders walked to the city gate, and then the firelight saw the costumes of these tribesmen, who were very similar to the Rouran, and raised their hands to signal the guards and archers to put down, and said in a loud voice, "Who are you?"
A man next to the tribal leader who seemed to know Chinese translated the words to the chief, who in turn told the people next to him, "We are Alva." β
Alva people, Shen Feng frowned, as if he heard this Alva people somewhere, and he couldn't think of them for a while, so he asked instead: "Miss Gu, do you know this Alva people?"
On the side, Gu Biluo also frowned, and said abruptly: "I don't know." β
Shen Feng turned around and looked at the soldiers on the left and right, and asked again: "Even you don't know, who among the other soldiers knows about this Al Ren?"
No one knew about the soldiers on the left and right, Shen Feng gave up investigating for the time being, and said in a loud voice: "What are you bringing thousands of people to my camel city for!?" These Alva people under the city are tall and burly, with an imposing appearance and a smell of blood.
"This is the leader of the Alva tribe, Boyan Khan, and Boyan Khan wants to invite your Han army to fight against Rouran!" said the interpreter next to him.
It turns out that brazenness is not a place, hearing this, Shen Feng and Gu Biluo looked at each other and smiled, these Alva people are obviously a group of wandering tribes, but they are ashamed to invite the Han army to fight against Rouran together, if he brings an iron cavalry of tens of thousands of people, it will be okay, he dragged a group of women, children, old and weak, plus only one or two thousand troops, it is obvious that they have come here to take refuge.
With such a high profile, how could Shen Feng let them in, "I am very grateful to Boyan Khan for his kind invitation, our army is not very honored, but this battle is with the Rouran Army, you and the Rouran Army are both tribes on the grassland, if I ally with you, the name of the division will not be right." β
The Alva people listened to the interpreter's translation, their expressions were a little embarrassed, they pushed away the interpreter who was blocking in front, walked forward a few steps and said a few words of Rouran, and the translator hurriedly translated: "Boyan Khan is the orthodox descendant of Rouran, as long as the Han army helps Boyan Khan recapture Rouran, Boyan will be grateful for this virtue and make peace with the Han army forever." β
The Alva people are Boyan Khan-Shen Feng suddenly remembered in his heart that in history, the Alva people were divided into a tribe by Rouran, and later they came to Europe and created a history, they have a wise monarch, that is, this Boyan Khan, but how did the Boyan Khan come to me in this era?!
Stunned, Gu Biluo quietly pushed him and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"
"If you want to draw a cake for me, this Boyan Khan knows some psychological tactics. After coming back to his senses, he sneered and sneered, and said in a loud voice: "The Tiance Army is only the army of the Chen State, and it has no right to decide to ally with other countries, but our dynasty is a ceremonial state, so that your tribe can settle down for the time being, and he will do it again in the future." β
Gu Biluo said in a low voice, "You want to take them in?"
"The Alva people are a tribe of the same lineage, and they must know a lot about the internal situation of Rouran, and it will be useful to take them in later. β
Gu Biluo's expression was slightly worried: "But I think this person is extremely ambitious, and he can definitely stay in peace, I am afraid that these people will cause trouble in the city." β
"You have thought it through, if he wants to use the Han army, he will not do anything to harm our army for the time being, as long as we use them, we will drive them out. β
Gu Biluo pondered for a moment and bowed slightly, now the biggest enemy is Rouran, at this time, it is a few points to add a few points to the chances of winning, if it is defeated, there is no point in worrying about it.
"Thank you, General Tiance!"
The Alva people under the city agreed to each other, and entered the city with the rest of the thousands, watching the thousands of people crowding into the city, and when they touched the eyes of these Alvas, they felt hunger and thirst and fierceness. There was a sudden trace of regret in his heart, and he said solemnly: "Gu Biluo, keep an eye on these people." β
Gu Biluo said: "After tomorrow, they will be evacuated to other towns, many towns in the northwest used to have tribal people in and out, and these people can avoid chaos when they enter these towns." β
"Well, do as you say. "Looking at the desert in the distance, as far as the eye can see, it is like a sea of yellow sand, and the faint cold wind blows from the desert," all the fortress towns have delivered military supplies and equipment, and in five days, let the generals from all over the country come to the camel city to discuss how to resist the enemy, and we will make the final deployment. β
Gu Biluo bowed slightly, and said solemnly: "I'll go and give the order immediately." So saying, she walked down the wall.
The city gate is closed, Shen Feng is still standing on the city wall, he has been in the camel city for almost ten days, he misses the people who are deeply rooted in his heart, and only Zhou is busy with military affairs every day to temporarily ease this heavy thought, there is a sentry tower ten miles away, there is a faint fire on the sentry tower, and the fire is like a golden spark on the plug-
It's beautiful, but it's also lonely.
Every soldier guarding the border is lonely, they have a heavy mission on their shoulders, they are the greatest and most beautiful people.
Like a flame lit on the side plug, it will be extinguished countless times, and it will be ignited countless times.
When he came to Biansai, Shen Feng could experience the unique scenery of Biansai, bleak, desolate and tenacious!
