Chapter Seventy-Five: The Soldiers Leave the Curie Pass
Happy and happy days always go by quickly, you have slipped away without a trace inadvertently, in the blink of an eye, it is already the day when Gao Yuan set off to change the guard at Curie Pass, more than 300 soldiers are dressed in new military uniforms, leggings, backpacks on their backs and Gao Yuan has just been issued to them with a big knife, carrying a spear in their hands, and the infantry and other ten archers have no spears, only bows and arrows and broadswords.
Not only did the county magistrate Wu Kai and the county lieutenant Lu Hong come to see him off, but even Huo Zhu, the superintendent who had not shown up much recently, also appeared, and more of them were the people of Fufeng who heard the news, perhaps they were lofty and mighty years ago, and dragged back the corpses of more than a dozen Donghu people, which made the image of the Fufeng people on this army have been greatly improved, and the dozen or so corpses were hung on the city wall until the New Year was almost taken down, and a pit was hastily dug and buried, and the corpses that had been fluttering in the wind for one or two decades were extremely visual stimulation of the Fufeng people. This seems to be the only time in these years that the Fufeng people have captured anything in the battle against the Donghu people
After a simple ceremony presided over by the county commander Wu Kai, three hundred people lined up in a two-way column, and left the barracks with neat steps amid the loud slogans of the capital.
Gao Yuan led his war horse, gave a deep salute to the several chief officers of Fufeng, turned around and walked proudly, his eyes swept over the crowd, but he didn't see Ye Jing'er and the others, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed. But when you think about it, you will be relieved, at this time, you will inevitably be sad, and you will see each other as if you don't see each other, and you will only feel sad when you see it.
The group walked to the south city gate in the middle of the road of the Fufeng people, and as soon as they got out of the city gate, Gao Yuan stepped on the war horse, and at this time, Sun Xiao grabbed the reins of his horse and said in a low voice: "Bing Cao, look at the top of the city."
Gao Yuan turned his head to the top of the high city tower, where Ye Jing'er, who was wrapped in a big coat, was standing on the top of the city tower, and beside him, Ye Feng, Zhang Yi, and Cui'er were waving their hands desperately at him.
Gao Yuan smiled and waved his hand, but there was only Ye Jing'er's delicate figure in his eyes.
Zhang Yi and Cui'er are about to leave, Zhang Yi is going to go to Xianyunlou in the county town as the second shopkeeper, Cui'er and his husband and wife are one, naturally they have to follow, the wall between their own family and Ye Jing'er's two families, Gao Yuan has already instructed Zhang Yi to tear it down between leaving, the two families will be one family, and they will be handed over to the Ye family to take charge in the future, after Zhang Yi and his wife left, there was no one in the house to call, Gao Yuan specially ran to Lu Hong, beat him and asked for a few girls and boys, and put them at home to call, so as not to do everything in person. For such an arrangement, Ye is still quite satisfied.
The horse's hooves were obtained, and Ye Jing'er's figure gradually blurred in her field of vision, but Gao Yuan still turned back frequently.
"Bing Cao, Fufeng City is not far from Curie Pass, I miss Miss Jing'er, it will only take a day to work quickly, and Bing Cao can come back at any time." Cao Tiancheng, the oldest in the team, was also given preferential treatment and could ride horses, while Sun Xiao and Yan Haibo and others could only walk like ordinary soldiers.
"Who said I missed her, I just couldn't leave Fufeng City!" Gao Yuan raised his head, but his mouth was hard, which made the people around him laugh, and when he was at the city gate just now, the two of them looked like they were reluctant to give up, but they all fell in the eyes of everyone.
The team traveled all the way, for the group of veterans under Gao Yuan, this distance is nothing at all, they have to carry out a cross-country practice of full generals every other day, so that they will take this kind of march as a complete routine, easy and bento, today's weather is excellent, although there is wind, but it is the sun shining, compared to their training in the wind and snow, this is simply stepping into spring, but for the other two hundred people who have just joined the army, it is not the same thing, The initial exuberance had become miserable after a few hours of walking, and Takato had to slow down, Rome was not built in a day, these people had not been in the army for a few days, and they could not be expected to compare with those veterans.
The team finally arrived at Curie before the sun set.
"Bing Cao, this is two years ago when Curie was closed, and we were stationed here!" Cao Tiancheng pointed to a building standing a few hundred meters away.
Looking at Curie Pass, Gao Yuan gasped, not so much that he was Guan, but that he was a broken city wall, at most a hundred meters long, lying in front of him. Above the city tower, there is a tattered Dayan banner fluttering, just like this pass, dead and alive, and there is no trace of vitality in sight.
There were cheers from the city wall, and then, Gao Yuan saw that the broken door suddenly opened, and a man of five big and three thick led a group of soldiers to rush out.
"The one who started was Naha!" Sun Xiao said in a low voice, "It seems that they have been looking forward to it all day, you see, they have even packed up their salutes!"
Sure enough, the soldiers who came out with Naha all had a burden on their hands. Their situation is much better than when they saw Sun Xiao's group at the beginning, at least the clothes on their bodies are still neat.
Gao Yuan and Cao Tiancheng turned over and dismounted, but Sun Xiao had already turned around, raised his hand, and shouted: "All assemble!"
The moment the three hundred soldiers in the two-way column heard Sun Xiao's command, they were already in a group, trotting up, and the column along the road completed the assembly in an instant, turning into a square formation of fifteen into twenty, everyone stood with spears up, their heads held high, and their eyes did not squint.
"Stand upright!" Sun Xiao yelled at the top of his voice.
"Xiangyou on par!"
"Look ahead!"
"Take a break!"
A series of orders were immediately and meticulously carried out, and the sound of three hundred soldiers leaning on their feet and shouting loudly one and two clearly startled the group of Naha who were rushing towards them, and they suddenly stopped. His eyes widened as he looked at the army in front of them, which was clearly very different from theirs.
Gao Yuan smiled slightly, and accompanied by Cao Tiancheng, he strode up to meet him.
"That Jun Cao, this is our first team of new Jun Cao Gao Yuan." Cao Tiancheng trotted a few steps, walked to the five big and three thick Naha, and introduced him for him.
"That Jun Cao, fortunately!" Gao Yuan stretched out his hand, "That army Cao Zhen has been guarding Curie Pass for a year, and it has been hard, Gao Yuan has been ordered to take over the defense."
Naha's eyes were still looking at the three hundred soldiers standing like a mountain behind Gao Yuan at this time, and after a while, he retracted his gaze and stretched out his hand to shake Gao Yuan, "Zheng Xiaoyang said that the new Gao Bing Cao is not an ordinary person, I still think he is joking, and when I see him today, I know that what he said is true."
"Zheng Bingcao is too complimentary!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"He's not complimenting you, he's reminding me to be careful, saying that with you being lofty, this Fufeng may not have a foothold for me and him Zheng Xiaoyang." Naha haha smiled. Fufeng can only afford to raise 300 regular soldiers, but now looking at Gao Bing Cao's subordinates, there are more than 300 people, it seems that what Zheng Xiaoyang said is true, after my Naba goes back, I will have to find another way out."
Gao Yuan smiled and said: "That army Cao is too worried, Lu County Lieutenant will reinvigorate the power of Fufeng soldiers, the first battle a year ago, not only Lu County Lieutenant was furious, even Zhang Taishou of Liaoxi City was also very unhappy, the specific situation, when that army Cao returned to Fufeng, it will naturally be clear, Fufeng will not only not cut any soldiers, I am afraid that the army will have to be expanded, as for how to raise the army, this is not something we have to worry about, we lead the troops, just train our brothers under their command into an elite who will not be discouraged in a hundred battles."
Listening to Gao Yuan's words, the expression on Naha's face changed several times, the meaning of Gao Yuan's words was too rich, first he began to ridicule himself, last year's battle, he really didn't have the courage to go out of the city to engage in the battle, facing the Donghu Iron Cavalry, he went out of the pass, it was equivalent to sending him to death, in fact, if the Donghu people brazenly attacked the Curie Pass, they couldn't hold it at all. This made Naha very annoyed, but as soon as Gao Yuan's words changed, he gave himself a reassurance, listening to him, after going back, not only will he not be punished, but his strength will be enhanced, which is a happy event.
Looking at the soldiers behind Gao Yuan, and then at the miscellaneous soldiers and fish behind him, who were gathered in groups of three or five in a mess, Naha felt a little blushing.
The contrast between the two is too strong, but Naba has no intention of talking to Gao Yuan here, arching his hand, and said: "This Curie Pass is like this, it is not as good as Fufeng City, since Gao Bing Cao is here, then he is going to leave, Gao Bing Cao, since this period of time, although the Donghu people have not come to harass on a large scale, they can see their sentry horses coming and going every two days, Gao Bing Cao himself is careful."
"Don't worry, that Bing Cao, since I have arrived at this Curie Pass, if the Donghu people don't come, if they come, I won't let them go back!" Gao Yuan smiled coldly, "We are not bullying guys, I want to see if these Donghu people really have three heads and six arms, and dare to ignore us like this."
Naba swallowed a mouthful of saliva, wanted to say something, and finally swallowed it back, this Gao Yuan is young and vigorous, and killed more than a dozen Donghu people a few years ago, but I am afraid that he is on the rise now, why should he be a villain in vain, he wants to do it against the Donghu people, then it is up to him to go, and when he suffers a few losses, he will naturally know that it is powerful.
