Chapter 336 Heading to Lezhen
"Your army has come from afar, and it must have been a difficult trek all the way, so you must be tired, and there is nothing to entertain your army here, or your army will follow us back to the village where we rested before. Let me tell you, the village girl in that village is really..."
"Let me ask you, where is the Black Gold Army?" the commander of the sword cavalry battalion did not hesitate to interrupt the words of the commander of Huzhou.
"General, this..."
Listening to the words of the Huzhou commander, the commander of the sword cavalry battalion suddenly became impatient, and his tone became cold, so he said: "Let me ask you one last time, where is the Black Gold Army now?"
Seeing that the commander of the sword cavalry battalion in front of him was so faceless, the evil fire in the heart of the commander of Huzhou could not help but rise.
Since he became the commander of Huzhou, no one has dared to give him such a faceless face like the commander of this sword cavalry battalion.
However, he also knew that he must not clash with the commander of the swordsmen battalion, and this attitude of lowering himself was correct.
After all, what kind of virtue his army was, he himself knew very well in his heart.
Compared to the cavalry units of the Royal Legion, his Huzhou army is simply scum.
"It's... The Black Gold Army had just crossed the Imperial South Pass and fled south. The commander of Huzhou couldn't help but reply with some apprehension in his heart.
Who let him, and he is also partly responsible for this.
"What? The Black Gold Army fled? What are you doing to eat? With an army of 200,000 people, you can't even stop a thief army of less than 200 people?"
Listening to the unkind words of the sword cavalry battalion commander, the evil fire in the heart of the commander of Huzhou also rose up.
What are you? It's just the commander of a small cavalry battalion, Lao Tzu is the commander of the Huzhou Army of the Suzaku Legion in Southern Xinjiang, when will it be your turn to teach me a lesson?
Of course, this kind of thought is only to think about it in his heart, and he doesn't dare to put it on his face at all.
"General, Xuzhou City Military Order. At this moment, a cavalryman at the rear of the team rode over at a gallop and said loudly.
Hearing the words of this cavalryman, the commander of the sword cavalry battalion was impatient, and said, "Say." ”
"The emperor has decreed, due to the critical situation in the northern Xinjiang, I hereby order the second battalion of the sword cavalry and the third battalion of the heavy cavalry of the Royal Legion cavalry to return to Xuzhou City immediately, and someone will arrange for your department at that time. This military order is urgent, and it is related to the safety of the country, and it is necessary to return immediately, and there is no room for error. The cavalry said truthfully.
Listening to the cavalry's words, the sword cavalry battalion commander and the Huzhou commander suddenly showed a shocked look on their faces.
Ten miles away from Yunanguan, in the woods.
After fighting all night from Yunanguan to the south, the soldiers of the Black Gold Army were already exhausted.
It's like a bowstring, if you pull it too tightly, it will be broken.
As a result, Xu Yang ordered the troops to stop advancing and rest on the spot.
All vehicles are also improvised in camouflage, hiding in various locations in the woods.
And the soldiers of the Black Gold Army just lay in the car, or around the vehicle, and fell asleep.
One by one, their faces were tired, holding steel guns, and they were crooked, which made Qin Hu, the deputy company commander who came to check the number of people, feel a little distressed.
In the BMP-3 command vehicle, Xu Yang's eyes were red from staying up late, but he still carefully looked at the military map on the table, planning the next route of the Black and Gold Army, and looking for a base with a large population that was conducive to defense.
Suddenly, the deputy company commander Qin Hu got into the car, Xu Yang raised his head, and asked with concern on his face: "How is it?
Xu Yang's question made Qin Hu sigh, and he replied truthfully: "Eh, seven soldiers in the third platoon were sacrificed, three soldiers were slightly injured, one person was sacrificed in the fourth platoon, and one was slightly injured, and the other three platoons were more or less wounded, but they were all slightly injured. ”
"I counted it, the whole company has gone through this battle, and the overall casualties are eight people killed and fifteen people slightly injured, compared to the previous battle, this time our Black Gold Army casualties are the lightest. ”
After listening to Qin Hu's report, Xu Yang silently patted him on the shoulder and said, "I've been fighting for so long, it's time to get used to it." ”
"yes... It's time to get used to it..."Listening to Xu Yang's words, Qin Hu silently repeated in his heart.
As time passed, the sun rose into the sky as usual, and the convoy of the Black Gold Army, after finishing refueling, hit the road again, according to Xu Yang's plan, to a small town called Lezhen in the northwest of Nanshouzhou.
The geographical location of Lezhen in the entire territory of the Qianyuan Empire is not very important, but it is an excellent and easy place to defend in the southern Shouzhou.
This town, surrounded by mountains on three sides, has high terrain and steep slopes. The geographical location is not good, and there are no mineral resources, which belongs to the forgotten place of the Nanshou Prefecture government.
Of course, this kind of unappreciated place must also have a bad economic situation.
But this town has one characteristic, that is, it has a large population.
Ordinary towns, but about two or three thousand people. Unless it is a military town, none of them is more than 10,000 people.
Lezhen, on the other hand, has a population of more than 5,000, which is two or three times that of other ordinary towns.
However, there must be demons when things go unusual, and the large population should be well off the economy and be taken seriously. But the actual situation is different, all these doubts can only be understood when the Black Gold Army really arrives in Lezhen.
All the way to Lezhen, surrounded by mountains along the way, there is no difference from the Qingfeng Mountains.
As we got closer to Lezhen, the roads became worse.
From the dirt road, which used to be flat and wide enough for two cars to walk side by side, it is now overgrown with weeds and full of stones. Although there are still some rough roads, the road conditions have obviously deteriorated.
Ahead, at the confluence of the two mountains, the surrounding trees are extremely lush, and the dense foliage completely obscures the sunlight overhead, making it seem a little gloomy around.
Ever since he stepped into this area, Xu Yang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if something was about to happen.
At this moment, the car stopped suddenly, Xu Yang couldn't help but shake his body, and almost fell to the ground, he hurriedly asked the commander, "What's the matter? Brake suddenly?"
Listening to Xu Yang's question, the commander turned his head and did not answer, but pointed ahead.
Seeing this, Xu Yang immediately cast his eyes on the display screen, only to see that the two BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles in front of the BMP-3 command vehicle also stopped.
He hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Car No. 1, car No. 2, what's going on in front?"
Soon, an answer came from the radio: "Report to the company commander, there are a large number of armed men in front of the convoy, who look like bandits." ”
