Chapter 593: The Wind Rises

The personal guard battalion is the elite of the elite selected from the whole army, there are almost no ordinary soldiers, each of them crawls out of the sea of corpses and blood, Gao Yuan set the number of the personal guard battalion at 3,000 people, but until now, a battalion and four companies have only made up the number of 1,000 people, because the selection standard is too high. The guards must become the best cavalry when they get on their horses, and when they get off their horses, they are the best infantry, and the double standard of foot and cavalry is not to block many elites in the army who want to enter this army.

The uniforms of the guards battalion are also different from the uniforms of the field troops of the Eastern Army, which is also Gao Yuan's intention to highlight the uniqueness of this guard battalion. This force, which is less than a thousand people, is completely armed to the teeth.

If you have the ability, you will naturally be proud, and you will naturally not be able to see the incompetent people side by side with them, which is also the meaning of Gao Yuan's two recruits entering this army, from top to bottom, they have the intention of making things difficult for the two.

They didn't dare to disobey Gao Yuan's meaning, but it was none of their business to let these two fortunate boys retreat and quit by themselves. But to the surprise of Guo Laofu, Yang Dasha and others, these two boys actually survived, but it made them have the intention of accepting the two from the bottom of their hearts.

It is difficult to enter the guard battalion, and it is even more difficult to enter the first company, this is the consensus of all the sergeants and soldiers in the army, and in the past six months, I don't know how many elite athletes have come to the first company, and then retreated gloomily.

The two recruits don't know any of this at all. If the soldiers who retreated from here knew that two recruits had actually entered the first company, I don't know how envious and jealous they would be.

Until he stepped on the war horse, he rode to the end of the first company. Mei Hua and Wu Ya were the first time they really saw the whole picture of this army that made the two of them suffer a big loss.

One hundred and eighty-one soldiers of the first company who were fully armed stood on horseback, and under the light of the torches in the camp, their bright red uniforms rose and fell with the breeze, like flowing blood. The calm face did not have the slightest expression, and all eyes were only fixed on the one person at the front, their company commander Yang Dasha.

There was no impassioned mobilization that Meihua had expected. Yang Dasha's gaze only glanced at the more than 100 brothers, and his eyes seemed to stop on the faces of the two of them for a few more moments, and then he spit out two words from his mouth: "Let's go!" Then he took the reins of his horse and went straight out of the camp.

Behind him. The horsemen followed the horse's tail after the horse's head. Leaving the barracks in silence, Mei Hua and Wu Ya naturally accompanied the last seat.

Outside the north city gate, a group of soldiers from the red-clothed pro-military battalion gathered from all directions, silently gathered in one place, more than a thousand people gathered into a bright red array, but it was still silent, this silence was like a mountain of pressure. The two recruits felt inexplicably depressed, and they could almost hear their own heartbeats. But he still forced himself not to squint and straighten his chest.

Later, with the sound of horses' hooves, a black-clothed cavalry rushed from the direction of Jishi Mountain, and began to gather on the side of the red-clothed phalanx, which was less than the red-clothed guards, probably only half the number of the red-clothed guards. swept from afar, and when it came closer, it was like an open fan, suddenly retracted, and in an instant, it gathered into a phalanx, such a momentum made the red-clothed guards involuntarily look sideways.

This black-clothed cavalry is the latest cavalry built by He Lanyan, and under Helanyan's request, this cavalry is dressed in black, to show that it is different from ordinary field troops and red-clothed guards.

Of course, this is what Helanyan dares to ask Gao Yuan, and he has changed others, he doesn't have this heart, this cavalry unit has poured Helanyan's hard work for more than half a year, and they really have high hopes, and they don't need to be armed to the teeth like the red-clothed guards, and even the horses are as docile as possible, Helanyan just requires the whole army to wear black, and one person wears the special lightweight steel armor of the red-clothed guard, this army needs to unify the formation, but such a formation is very vulnerable to heavy losses under the opponent's intensive long-range strikes, Strengthening personal protection is a top priority.

Charging and fighting, the red-clothed guards are good at it, but this black-clothed cavalry is only good at sweeping the opponent with the power of the group after the opponent's cavalry has launched a charge.

One red and one black, forming a great contrast.

In August, the sky was very early, the drum of the fifth watch had just sounded, the sky was already a trace of fish belly white, the rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the city, a moment later, Gao Yuan, He Lanyan, Jiang Jiaquan, Yan Shenghao, Wu Kai and other high-ranking officials of Zhengdong Mansion appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"I'm going to the Hetao, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to turn around in a short period of time, and I'll entrust you to the internal affairs of the Eastern Mansion." Gao Yuan looked at Jiang Jiaquan and the others and said with a smile.

"Don't worry." Jiang Jiaquan smiled and nodded, "Liaoxi Zheng Jun, Hejian Wu Ci'an, and Jishi Wu Kai are all extremely capable, and the two commanders Ye Zhen and Ye Zhong are also experienced generals in a hundred battles. ”

"Ye Zhong has found Xun Xiu and is persuading him to come to my East Mansion to serve, but this old man still has a knot, I have written separately with Jing'er, the past is gone, now is the time when we need to look forward, if he comes to the East Mansion, he should be in the position of the Ministry of Rites, this old man is stubborn, you adults get along with him, you should let it go."

Jiang Jiaquan smiled, "The governor doesn't care about the past suspicions, we naturally don't dare to slack off, this old man is knowledgeable and has a wide range of contacts, if he can be used by the governor, run outside, and open up a situation for the general in diplomacy, it is worth looking forward to." ”

"I went to attack Donghu, and the power was single, but this internal governance matter was more complicated, and I had to work for you." Gao Yuan hugged his fists as a salute.

"I don't dare to be the governor of the city." Jiang Yan bowed down, "I wish the capital governor a successful and smooth sailing." ”

Gao Yuan laughed, "Encouragement! Tima walked forward, and after a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and shouted, "Wu Junshou! ”

Wu Kai hurriedly ran to Gao Yuan's side, "What else does the governor have to order?" ”

"Jing'er has been pregnant for several months, but I'm afraid that when she is in labor, I don't have time to separate, but I want to ask Mrs. Wu to run more to the Governor's Mansion, Cui'er is young after all, I'm afraid that she can't take care of her sometimes, and I have asked Medical Officer Qiu to sit in the Governor's Mansion, when I am not there, you will take care of it."

"Don't worry, Governor!" Wu Kai said with a smile: "When the big fat boy is born, I will definitely report thousands of miles away, so that the governor will be the first to know, but I can get the information." ”

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, said goodbye, and He Lanyan, Shangguan Hong and others immediately followed.

Riding a horse and running to the red-clothed guard, Gao Yuan stared at these battle-hardened men, choked and drew his sword and saber, raised it high, with Gao Yuan's movements, more than a thousand Mo knives were raised at the same time, the sword light was shining, and the torches above the city were also dimmed.

"Conquer the Eastern Army!" Gao Yuan drank in a deep voice.

"Wan Sheng!" More than a thousand red-clothed guards roared in unison.

On the other side, He Lanyan also raised her scimitar and shouted: "Conquer the Eastern Army!" ”

"Wan Sheng!" Five hundred black-clad knights raised their spears in their hands and roared in response.

"Let's go!" With the knife in the sheath, Gao Yuan rode forward, and behind him, a team of red-clothed guards followed closely.

Half a day later, Gao Yuan led his cavalry and caught up with the people's team that had set off a day earlier to transport the baggage. The mighty procession began to set off towards the Hetao Plain.

Just when the Hetao Plain was tense and preparing for a big battle, in the Niulanshan camp of more than 100 cities outside Fufeng City, He Lanxiong, commander of the Eastern Field Army, was also promoted to the army.

He Lanxiong is high on the tiger skin chair in the center, one on the left and one on the right, are the two army commanders Meng Chong and Yan Haibo, and in the back, he Lanrui, He Lanjie, Ding Wei and other commanders.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Hetao War is about to start, Donghu Gouzi gathers heavy troops in Hetao, this battle will determine my 10,000-year foundation in Dongfu, and my Eastern Field Army, although it is thousands of miles away from Hetao, but we can't sit idly by, so we have to move."

As He Lanxiong's deep voice echoed in the room, all the generals below suddenly became excited, originally Zhengdongfu's main attack direction was set in the Hetao Plain, which made them feel disappointed in their hearts, but looking at the commander's posture, they were unwilling to be lonely, they were naturally overjoyed, which meant that they could have the opportunity to show their talents.

Looking at everyone's expressions, He Lanxiong said with a smile: "Don't think about it, this official is also under the order of the governor, although the Hetao is the main battlefield, but we are here, but it is not a decoration, attacking Donghu, containing the enemy's military strength, and we have a complex terrain here, no better than the Hetao Plain, so the Donghu cavalry can not show their strengths, but we take advantage." Speaking of this, he laughed hehehe, "As for us or the Northern Army Group first to hit the city of Helin, who can say for sure?" If we go to Helin City first, thinking that Sun Xiao will definitely be so angry that one Buddha ascends to heaven and the second Buddha is born, do you have this heart? ”

"Yes!" All the generals below shouted in unison, even Yan Haibo.

"Good!" Helan Xiong clenched his fist and waved it heavily, "Stationed opposite us is Agu Huaien, and our goal is to eliminate Agu Huaien within this year and march to coerce Liaoning Wei." Listen to the generals! ”

With He Lanxiong's voice, all the generals in the room stood up solemnly, and only He Lanxiong's voice echoed.

Just when Helanxiong began to mobilize the whole army, Ye Feng was lying in the dense bushes, looking up at the military village on the top of the mountain not far away, which was a fort set up here by the Agu Department, and there were two hundred Donghu soldiers stationed inside, which was the outpost of Agu Huaien to monitor the movement of the Eastern Field Army, and Ye Feng's task was to pull it out.

It has been nearly a year since he arrived in the Eastern Field Army, Meng Chong originally wanted to arrange him to serve as a personal guard officer at the headquarters or by his side, but Ye Feng only thought of the front-line field troops, and when the stalemate was deadlocked, He Lanxiong arrived, but he agreed to Ye Feng's request in one bite, and Ye Feng became a company commander of the First Army.
