Chapter 442: Like a Great Enemy
In this Northern Expedition, the Young Lion Book League went to Rì to lead the people of a county to support the army with just a small official. This time, the counties with the army should be sent to transfer Sima, but there are many officials who can't be ranked. No matter how big the temper of the soldiers is, there is no way to take these petty officers, they stare at each other, but they have to turn around and go back.
These transport Simas are not angry, the master has worked hard to serve you Qiu Ba, and you have to do this and that. The procedures are incomplete, when the military Sima receives the materials, there are some less, and the part that is too lost, who will fill in the old man? Business trips should be hard for military affairs, and you can't lose money anymore!
A day after the main force of the army crossed the river, less than 30% of the supplies were transported forward. On the north shore of the front line, more and more people are gathering supplies. The Tang Army's Huanqing Army's remaining troops in charge of the Jǐng Jiedu Ferry also opened up more and more defensive areas. After a day of chaos like this, Zhang Jun also guarded the reward money from Luoyang for a day at the ferry.
The role of him, the coach, is to reward these before the war, boost morale, and supervise the final decisive battle.
Who knows, at this ferry, it is noisy and dizzy. Now it's impatient and unbearable.,Eat the hard xìngzi.。 After a day of hustle and bustle, after nightfall, he simply took the guard tooth back to rest the brigade.
As a member of the dynasty and the commander of the three armies, he can't always mix with you people here to eat together. Why do you have to sleep under the guard of the battalion army tonight? In the back, let the generals below worry about it. When leaving, as long as he showed the prestige of the commander to the left-behind generals: "Give you another day to carry heavy supplies with the army, and all of them must arrive." Otherwise, the military athletes will not be rewarded when they are in battle. I had to borrow your head to calm the hearts of the army! ”
In the camp on the back road of Weizhou, there was also a scene of chaos.
The grain and horse feed were packed into bags and piled high. The military planned to put the food and grass materials in Sima Xiao, who just stood in front and shouted hoarsely. A group of people came over, loaded grain and grass, and took the lead. These chips can be used as proof of construction period for them to consume and eat along the way.
The people in the Tang Dynasty came to serve as conscripts. Those who are due have to go back, and if they don't let these people go back, they have to be paid. And the requisitioned refugees can be converted into food every day. One by one, the statistical work behind these is trivial. Sima Xiaoyi's eyes were red and their voices were hoarse.
Food is only one aspect of replenishing the army. There are also military-funded equipment, which are even more cumbersome. The Datang system is strict, and there must be a way out and a certificate for the release of military equipment, and finally it can be written off by the three envoys. This is also one of the means of harnessing force today.
The place where these military equipment is stacked is even more heavily guarded, and the army is standing on foot. The 3,000 foot soldiers have all been mobilized, and there are not even a few left in the city. In addition to the large battalion guards, checkpoints should be set up along the way to prevent the enemy from potentially sneaking across the sāo to disturb the grain route. The people received grain, grass and firewood along the way, and the Tang army also set up military stations along the way. Although the front cavalry robe Ze fought bloody, they were also busy in the back!
Zhang Jun's main account was set up in the camp, and at the door of his tent, it was full of people waiting for things to come back and waiting to sign and release the material book. A large pile of people were sleeping crookedly and snoring loudly in the open space in the camp, and everyone was exhausted after walking down the front line. But as soon as the books came, the supplies were brought onto the carriages and horses, and the big guys had to go out again.
But Zhang Jun is not as good as them, and these people still have time to take a nap. Zhang Jun himself didn't know how many hours he had been confused in the past few days. In short, at any time, there seems to be a person standing in front of him, and there is always a book in his hand that cannot be finished. He did have staff, and the few officials who helped with the books were all as hungry as rabbits.
But no matter how busy he is, every once in a while, Zhang Jun, as the commander of the three armies, although he is in the Weizhou camp in the rear, he always has to go out of his big tent and inspect around the tent next to him, which tiring the old prime minister.
The camp of the Shence Army, which was dozens of miles away, was now brightly lit, as if it was facing a great enemy, and the torches were blazing, reflecting the surroundings of the camp brightly. The soldiers of the Tang Army stood on the cupboard, each of them already wearing armor, as if they were facing a great enemy. The moonlight shone down, making the iron armor and the blade of the warrior's hand doubly cold.
Outside the camp, a group of military horses moved back and forth, passing horses galloping around, passing military orders. The deer trenches are thickened and widened by auxiliary soldiers. In every vital place, there are Shence army generals patrolling with swords.
Looking down from the military camp, the continuous Shence military camp fortress stretched out like a fire dragon on a snowy night, until the end of the line of sight. In every camp, there is a murderous spirit rising to the sky. Once the camp hung any lights on the watchtower, the camps everywhere also reacted immediately. In the Semen of each camp, there are armored soldiers forming a phalanx and resting on the ground. The cook divided the hot soup and rice to give them a little more heat. These armored soldiers are ready to go out of the village to fight in the field at any time.
There is no other reason for such vigilance, and the left and right Shence troops have already learned about the military information transmitted from the front.
Wei Zhaodu fled, and the whole army collapsed and perished! And the Liang army and the Khitan army have already counterattacked to the south, making a posture that also wants to crush the Shence army. The Khitans' open remote barricade sentry has pressed the Tang army's light cavalry back to the left of the camp, and before dusk, it reappeared in the sight of the watchtowers of the Tang army's camps. From the mouth of the rout, the Tang army already knew that the Khitan army under Yelu Deguang was far beyond their estimates, and it was a Jīng Rui division that could fight the camp from day to night, and could raise fire at night. For a day and a night, he defeated Wei Zhaodu's army in front of him!
Without waiting for the order, when the Shence army in the direction of the Khitan army rushed in, they immediately mobilized and put on guard. All preparations for the northward attack were halted. The whole army contracted back, tensed its nerves and waited for the arrival of the Khitan army.
Although after nightfall, the Khitan army's distant barricades took back a ride, the Tang army's light cavalry could also extend a distance to the north, and the Liang army, which had detected the Khitan and Kang Huaizhen, was also camped. But the whole army of the Shence Army is up and down. There is still no slackness. The Khitan army is just that, after all, people are born to eat on horseback, but the Liang army has such a strong strength, why did we fight so smoothly at the beginning, why did Zhu Wen just guard the city of Zhenzhou, and the emperor still showed weakness step by step?
