Chapter 36: Sing the Song of My Empire
Dozens of miles ahead, is Liaozhou City.
Groups of soldiers strode on the flat loess road, singing loudly and vibrating.
"The heavens are sweeping across the black river, and the land is singing in unison!"
Immediately, there was a harmony singing, "Raise the prestige of the Son of Heaven and sing the song of my empire!" ”
"Raise the prestige of my holy monarch and sing the song of my empire!"
It is the most high-pitched part of "The Hunting Song of the Son of Heaven".
"Hey! Hey! Hey! The soldiers raised their swords and cheered loudly, as if this was the case, so that the blood of the singing voice could be fully displayed.
A fast horse galloped from the rear, and immediately the commander shouted: "The Holy Son of Heaven Luan has arrived!" The Holy Son of Heaven Luan has arrived! ”
The soldiers looked back one after another, and faintly, they could see in the distance, the golden dragon flag fluttering, and countless red feathers waving, as if the whole sky had changed color.
Under the orders of the leaders and squad leaders, the soldiers quickly flashed to both sides of the road and stood solemnly, everyone's faces were excited, but quiet, as if the air was frozen.
Being so close to the Holy Son Che Luang is simply a coveted honor.
The loess road from Bianjing across the Yellow River to Liaozhou has long been built smooth and wide, and the soldiers are lined up on both sides, and the passage that can accommodate horses galloping together is made in the middle.
Although there is a clear training in the military example, during the march, a general should lead the army and soldiers, and see that the emperor does not worship.
But when the majestic chariot passed through the soldiers under the golden cover, and they didn't know who was leading the way, the soldiers knelt down one after another.
In the carriage, Lu Ning wore a golden dragon robe, and even wore a crown of twelve emperors in front and back.
Going out on the expedition, marching and fighting, and the Northern Expedition to challenge the scales of the behemoth, Lu Ning felt for the first time that the current war is equally awe-inspiring.
Lu Ning wore a dragon robe and wore the imperial crown, not to hide his hair that had been cut short, but for the trace of awe in his heart.
Even, after some hesitation, although he did not break his promise, and finally brought Xiao Zhouhou, but there is no doubt that Taiyuan City is the end of Xiao Zhouhou, if you can successfully capture Taiyuan City, and then drive the troops to the north, Xiao Zhouhou and the accompanying Baolin, the female guard, will return to the south, after all, even in Taiyuan City, if you can't meet the Liao reinforcements, go north out of Yanmen Pass, and face it, it will also be the Khitan wolf-like army, you have to prepare for the worst, you can't take your concubines to adventure, although, there are important concubines on the side, sometimes, to the subordinates, It can also be inspiring.
And if in Taiyuan City, it is a miserable victory or even encounters an unexpected situation, and you can't conquer Taiyuan City, then there is no need to say more.
In the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty, the terrain is precipitous, and many mountain ranges such as the Taihang Mountains and the Luliang Mountains are among them, which is a kind of high in the north and low in the south, from the north, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It's hard to say, what kind of unexpected situations will come your way.
Although he has some sharp weapons for attacking the city, he can never be taken lightly against the enemy.
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”
The excited shout woke Lu Ning from his deep groan.
Lu Ning smiled, suddenly took the wine bottle on the table, got up, walked out, and stepped on the wheel.
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! "The shouts of excitement are higher and higher.
Looking at the black soldiers on both sides of the road, the faces of each of them fell into Lu Ning's eyes, and their vibrant and youthful faces were shouting excitedly, but they didn't know, after this battle, how many people could return?
Lu Ning's eyes slowly scanned, and then, he said loudly: "Sons! In this Northern Expedition, I and all my sons and daughters will cultivate the spear together! Enter the Black River, go to Beijing, and in the Golden Horde, I will wait with you and sing the imperial song together! ”
"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"
The mountains roared like a tsunami, and the soldiers almost shouted hoarsely.
Lu Ning threw the wine bottle with a bang, and landed in front of a battalion commander, and the soldiers on both sides were the battalion he led, which was one of the reserve soldiers of the Beijing Garrison Battalion, and the bulging bags on the back of the soldiers were all hemostatic white medicine.
The bottle fell in front of the battalion commander, and not a drop of wine was spilled.
"I don't like to drink, this tea, for you!" Lu Ning sighed in his heart, I hope that you will never replenish the army formation, if not, it also means that the first-line army has suffered heavy losses.
"Your Majesty, long live Xie!" The commander fell to the ground and shouted.
Lu Ning turned around and got into the Luan car, and the soldiers were silent, watching the Luan car gradually drive away.
Then, the battalion commander trembled and picked up the wine bottle, took a sip of it, and carefully passed it to the next person, just like the wine bottle was a liquid of elixir.
In the carriage of the Luan car, I gradually heard the back, and a loud song sounded again, "Holy Son of Heaven, drive a long car, our minions, and raise a halberd, follow the Son of Heaven, Wei Limin, and step through the lack of Helan Mountain!" Step through the lack of Helan Mountain! ”
In the carriage, there were also people humming, Lu Ning looked at it, and it was You Yiyi who hummed softly.
In fact, it can be seen that the three little girls are all a little excited, but You Yiyi is a little uncontrollable excited.
After Xiao Zhou, he sat in a slightly lower position next to Lu Ning, wearing a blue skirt, beautiful and refined.
You Yiyi and Huang Baoyi, two little Baolin, are both wearing snow-white female guard uniforms and long swords hanging from their waists, of course, for them, the long sword is just an ornament, but it seems that the two cute little girls are faintly a little more heroic in the army.
The two of them accompanied them, in fact, they were similar to Gong E, taking care of Lu Ning's daily life, but they also had a very good posture with the army.
After glancing at them a few times, Lu Ning looked at the map on the table again, looked at the south of Taiyuan City, the land marked Longzhou, and muttered: "Calculate the time, today, Zhu Chongjun should go down to Longzhou, I don't know if it will go well." ”
Longzhou is the acropolis of 100 miles south of Taiyuan City, and two years ago, the Northern Han Dynasty began to build a city.
Historically, Longzhou should have been built a few years later, but now it is obviously because the Northern Han Dynasty saw that the Qi State was strong, and took countermeasures early to build Longzhou as the acropolis of Taiyuan, so as not to allow the Qi army to approach the city of Taiyuan once it went north.
After all, in history, Liaozhou was recovered by the Northern Han Dynasty a few years after the Battle of Gaoping in Chai Rong, and now, Lu Ning was attached from the three towns of Hebei Province and firmly controlled Liaozhou after conquering Xingzhou.
If you don't build a city in the south of Taiyuan, the Qi army can drive straight into Taiyuan and reach the city of Taiyuan.
The Shenwu Army, which has been stationed in Wuhan to contain the northwest of the Southern Tang Dynasty, has only participated in the battle of Shu.
During its stay in Wuhan, the Shenwu Army was built into a high-speed mobile force.
In fact, Lu Ning's earliest idea of the palace army is such a force, but with the passage of time, the palace front army has gradually become a huge army, after being incorporated into the Yan camp, the palace front of the army has reached 7,000 people, and there are all kinds of light and heavy gunpowder arms, if the whole army acts together, it will be extremely slow.
Of course, this army of 7,000 people has such strong combat effectiveness that Lu Ning can't keep his pulse on the pulse now, and he doesn't know how many elite divisions the big army can withstand in battle.
However, Lu Ning's idea of hoping to have a high-speed mobile armed force has not changed, and the Shenwu Army is now such an armed force.
The 5,000-strong Shenwu army, everyone is equipped with horses, but it is not a real pure cavalry unit, and when it arrives at the battlefield, the infantry dismounts and fights.
If it weren't for the fact that the war horses could not be squandered now, Lu Ning couldn't wait for it, and every soldier would prepare two fast horses for him, and unlike the current infantry soldiers who are only equipped with inferior horses, but equipped with real cavalry excellent war horses, then it would really be a fast maneuver.
Longzhou City, the construction of the city is relatively hasty, in fact, it is still being improved, such as the city wall, the Northern Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers think that it is not high enough, and it should still be under construction.
Order the Shenwu army to attack Longzhou, at the same time after the Shenwu army, the palace army and the Beijing army have been opened, if the Taiyuan defenders come to help, just fight a field battle, if the Taiyuan defenders dare not move, they will go straight to Taiyuan City to camp. Without his own presence, the proud soldiers of the palace front army and the Beijing army, if they could not defeat the Taiyuan reinforcements who were not very prepared in the field battle, they would retreat by themselves.
