Chapter 288: Return
It has been nearly two months since Wanyankang stepped on the ethereal peak, and when he flew down the mountain and looked back at the heights, he felt a little bit of separation.
He shook his head, let out a long roar, and strode towards the northeast.
On the fifth day of the first month of March, it was stung. If you are in the south, it is already a spring thunderstorm at this time, and everything is recovering. And in the Northland, the coldest days of the year have not yet passed, and the sky is still full of white ice and snow.
People who have just arrived in the north, seeing this situation, are prone to the magnificent feeling of the northern scenery, thousands of miles of ice, and thousands of miles of snow. However, Huang Rong stood at the west gate of White Horse City day by day, looking at the vast snow, and couldn't help but feel a little tired in his heart.
Brother Kang said that if he rules the world as soon as possible, he will go back to Peach Blossom Island to live a leisurely life, and every time he thinks of this, Huang Rong can be a little more energetic. She looked into the distance, sighed slightly, and turned to walk down the city.
As soon as Huang Rong walked down the city, she heard a voice from above: "Report, someone is approaching from the west!" ”
After the battle, the city defense of White Horse City did not relax in the slightest. One of the soldiers on patrol saw a black dot appear in the distance, and if he looked closely, it should be a black horse carrying a person, galloping towards this side.
"How many are there?"
"One!"
Huang Rong heard the first shout, Ben stopped and prepared to turn back to the city. But after listening to the conversation of the follow-up soldiers, he shook his head again, if Brother Kang came back, it must be the three of them walking together.
The soldiers patrolling the city, estimating the distance of the black dots, felt that at least a cup of tea could make this person run to the city.
But after only half the incense burning, the distant black dot was already clearly visible, and the soldiers on patrol shouted: "Platoon commander, come and see, people are coming too fast!" ”
When the platoon commander on duty heard the sound, he immediately ran to the wall and looked out. Sure enough, a black horse and a knight on horseback rushed towards the city at a speed he had never seen in his life. After seven or eight breaths from an estimated distance of three hundred paces, he approached the head of the city a hundred paces.
"Alert! Alert! Close the gates! Close the gates! The platoon commander on duty shouted.
Not long after Huang Rong left the city, she heard the shouts of the guard from a distance, stopped and thought about it, and then turned around and ran towards the city.
"Who's coming, get off the horse and answer quickly!"
"Which rabbit cub is on duty, I don't even know it!"
An extremely familiar voice sounded, the sound was not too loud, but it shook Huang Rong's body, she was stunned for a moment, and then burst out with all her strength and ran towards the city.
The platoon commander on duty, after shouting, saw that the other party showed no sign of dismounting and answering, so he opened his bow and set up arrows, ready to give the visitor a color. He didn't think that this person was a strong enemy, our White Horse City even repelled the 300,000 troops of the Qiyan Department, and this person could help him with one horse.
Wan Yankang saw this person with a bow and arrows, looked at this person's face and felt unfamiliar, and knew that this person must be a new recruit who was recruited into the city later. He was going to dismount first, but suddenly his mind moved, and he had the intention to test the quality of the recruits in the city.
With a slight force on his legs, Xiao Hei knew what he meant, and in the surprised and inexplicable eyes of the city, he rushed to the city gate again.
The horses were still four or five feet away from the city gate, and the soldiers on duty were puzzled, at this speed, this man and a horse had to crash to death on the city gate.
In the blink of an eye, they saw the knight on the horse leap in front of the horse's side, and then rise to his feet and leap up to the top of the city.
The arrow in the hands of the platoon commander on duty had not been able to lock on to Yan Kang, and until the last moment, he had not been able to shoot it. When he saw this man jumping onto the city, he reacted instantly, threw down his bow and arrows, drew his scimitar at his waist, and shouted: "Capture it with your hands tied, or you will be killed!" ”
The rest of the soldiers at the head of the city all recovered from the shock and picked up the swords and guns in their hands one after another.
"Stop!" Huang Rong rushed to the city in time and shouted.
"Rong'er!" Wan Yankang saw Huang Rong and immediately took a few steps forward and hugged her into his arms.
The platoon commander on duty looked confused, and he held his scimitar high and shouted: "You ......"
A veteran soldier next to him rushed over, snatched the scimitar from his hand, and said softly: "Dashuai, it's Dashuai who is back!" ”
When the man heard this, he bit his tongue in shock.
With Huang Rong's actions, several veterans recognized Yan Kanglai, and the news of the marshal's return to the city spread rapidly.
Wan Yankang hugged Huang Rong and felt each other's temperature carefully, without the slightest words, they could grow old until they were wasted.
In less than a cup of tea, the constant footsteps around and the bursts of shouts of joy made Wan Yankang no longer able to warm up in public, so he had to let go of his arms first.
"Second uncle, Lei Zi, and ...... vigorously" Wan Yankang and the familiar faces who rushed to the city kept greeting.
In a short time the city was crowded with people, until it was impossible to settle.
Seeing this, Wan Yankang had to issue an order, ordering all the rest of the people to return to the team except for the soldiers on duty. Officers above the battalion commander will go to the Marshal's Mansion for a meeting an hour later.
As soon as the military order was given, the crowd dispersed. There was a burst of neighing sounds, and Wan Yankang woke up in shock, and his little black was still locked up outside the city. He immediately ordered to open the city gate, open the door to pick up the horse, and take Huang Rong back to the house.
"Brother Kang, didn't you see Xiaowan and Mochou?" Huang Rong sat behind Yan Kang and asked this question for the first time.
"Xiaowan and Mo Chou, there are other important things, it will be a month and a half soon, two months later, and they should be able to return to the city." When answering this question, Wan Yankang was very happy, it seems that the relationship between the three daughters has indeed been extremely harmonious, and he no longer has to make sandwich biscuits.
The news of Dashuai's return to the city quickly spread throughout White Horse City. An hour later, according to Wan Yankang's instructions, all the officers above the battalion level gathered in the marshal's mansion and conference hall.
After Yan Kang returned home, he washed his face first, changed into a white suit, tied a purple cloak, and stepped into the conference hall with Huang Rong.
"Dashuai!" All the people stood up in unison and saluted him.
Wan Yankang returned a military salute: "Everyone, it's hard work." After saying that, he should take his seat first and motioned for everyone to sit down.
He sat down and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be surprised. In this conference room, a long table is set up, and the seats are divided on both sides, which can accommodate more than 30 people. Before Yan Kang left the city, if a military meeting above the battalion level was held, it would be obvious that he would be dissatisfied at this table. And today, after everyone took their seats, half of them did not have seats, so they had to stand in the hall.
"There are so many of our officers above the battalion level?" Wan Yankang was a little puzzled.
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet. After all, the appointment and dismissal of important personnel in the army has always been taboo without the approval of the commander.
Xu Daosheng took a deep breath and said to Yan Kang: "Marshal, after this war, our army has increased a lot, and there are many brothers who can be promoted to the battalion level with meritorious service. ”
Wan Yankang saw Xu Daosheng's serious expression when he spoke, and he was a little puzzled at first, but when he said two sentences later, he understood his concerns, and he laughed: "I haven't used the seal yet, now take my handsome seal." ”
After speaking, he called out to the soldiers again: "There are not enough seats in the hall, so I won't move some elsewhere!" ”
Then he stood up and greeted each of the new officers.
"Luo Hanhuai, you can, I was a company commander before, and now I've even been promoted to two levels, didn't I go through the back door of Master Xu!"
Luo Hanhuai has been friends with Wan Yankang for many years, and he knows that Wan Yankang is joking with him, but he is also a little red for a while, and he doesn't know what to do.
Xu Daosheng smiled slightly: "Yes, this kid sent two jars of good wine overnight, otherwise, Xu would have cut at least half of his more than 300 beheadings." ”
As soon as Xu Daosheng said this, the whole hall burst into laughter.
"Dalata, your kid is temporarily the deputy general of Wushuang, and he can't fight easily, how can he become the battalion commander, why don't you sneak out and kill people?"
"Commander Qiqi, subordinates... The subordinates have the entrustment of the commander, and the unequals have suffered a lot of losses, and the subordinate battalion commander cannot be the commander. Daratatten stood up, gave a military salute, and then took off his hat.
Wan Yankang saw that when he stood up, his right leg shook a little, obviously he was still injured, plus a knife mark on his face, his bloody skill is needless to say, he patted Dalata on the shoulder: "Teasing you, you did a good job, sit down." ”
"Yan Keri, are you also a battalion commander?" After greeting most of the newly promoted officers, Wan Yan Kang suddenly found Yan Keli's figure, and in his impression, Yan Keli's credit should not have reached this point.
In White Horse City, Yan Keli is the most shallowest in qualifications, and he was already standing in the rear, and when Yan Kang asked him this, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "Commander, they don't want to do it, and they insist that I be the battalion commander......"
The last 200 people of the death camp returned to White Horse City, bringing the news of Wan Yankang, the handsome, and the brilliant achievements of everyone. If you say that the battle experienced by White Horse City is like a meat grinder. Every battle in the death battalion is a miracle created by the death camp, and every time it survives, it is a miracle.
The return of the death battalion greatly boosted the morale of White Horse City after the tragic victory, and after Xu Daosheng and other civil and military discussions, he retained the complete structure of this battalion and planned to promote the military according to his military merits.
Originally, in terms of meritorious deeds, the position of battalion commander would never fall on Yan Keli's head, but before Yan Kang left, Yan Keli was asked to lead the team. In the process of leading the team, his resourceful performance won the recognition of everyone, and more than 200 old men in the death battalion unanimously elected Yan Keli as the battalion commander.
Facing Xu Daosheng, the military advisor, Fuerchidu, who had the highest military achievements, stiffened his neck and roared twice: "If you don't let Yan Keli be the battalion commander, Lao Tzu will not be a soldier." ”
Faced with this situation, Xu Daosheng had no choice but to comply with public opinion and temporarily appointed Yan Keli as the battalion commander.
Wan Yankang asked the reason, and couldn't help laughing. It is rare for other people's armies to be rewarded for meritorious deeds. Since the establishment of the army, White Horse City has been the cornerstone of the army. However, this move of the death battalion undoubtedly shows that the officers and men of this battalion have put the interests and honor of the collective above the individual.
With such a group of arrogant soldiers under his command, Wan Yankang is full of confidence in the situation he will face next.
