Chapter 135: Greeting

In order to obtain this set of military techniques, He Tong even wanted to use military tactics several times to force Zheng Kai to tell the secrets.

But Zheng Kai didn't take these things into account at all, he and He Tong didn't belong to each other, and now He Tong had no way to treat him.

After He Tong couldn't get the answer he wanted from Zheng Kai, he could only start to carefully observe the method of Zheng Kai's team, hoping to find out the secret from it.

But after two days of observation, nothing special was found. The only difference is that the soldiers under the command of Zheng Kai are very obedient, and it can be said that they are forbidden.

In this way, everyone marched together for two days, and Zheng Kai gave He Tong a great shock. On the 3rd day, they finally entered the confines of Kaiping Town.

Zheng Kai sent cavalry thirty miles away from Kaiping Town, and quickly reported the situation to Jia Ke.

At noon, He Tong ordered the troops to bury the pot and make rice, and after they had lunch, they rested for a while, and then marched forward again.

After walking forward for more than ten miles, suddenly the scout horse he sent came back in a panic and reported, "Lord Qiqi, three miles ahead, there is a large army lined up, please decide." ”

He Tong, you were surprised to hear this, this is still in the territory of the country, and a large number of enemy troops have been discovered. He was just about to order his troops to line up to meet the enemy.

Zheng Kai hurriedly came over and said, "Slow down, I think the team in front of me should be led by my family to greet you." ”

He Tong asked him solemnly: "Are you sure?" You must know that if you make a mistake, you will have to engage in military law. ”

Zheng Kai replied: "The cavalry I just sent went to Kaiping Town to report to the lord, and according to the time, he should lead the team to meet Commander He." ”

He Tong frowned and thought about it carefully, and felt that it was better to be steady, so he ordered the whole army to line up. At the same time, Zheng Kai was ordered to lead the cavalry to investigate.

So the two troops, separated by three miles, lined up separately, and Zheng Kai quickly came to the front with the cavalry. What he saw were two thousand men and horses, standing there like nails, majestic and murderous, and it was Jia Ke who was riding in front of him.

Zheng Kai led the troops, Pegasus came to Jia Ke, and replied to Jia Ke loudly: "Lord Qiyu, Lord Jiedu sent the commander He Tong to lead 8,000 men and horses, and it has reached three miles away. ”

Jia Ke asked strangely: "Since it's been three years, why aren't you moving forward?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, the commander sent a scout horse to find that the Lord was lined up here, thinking that the enemy was ambushed again, and did not dare to advance, so he lined up three miles away, and ordered me to lead a team to investigate." Zheng Kai replied.

Jia Ke laughed when he heard his words, raised his horsewhip, pointed to the front and said, "Since Commander He doesn't dare to come, let's go forward to greet him." ”

Jia Ke's purpose in doing this was to deter these new soldiers, let them know what elite soldiers were, what they would become in the future, and make it easier to train in the future. The second is to let the top generals of Xuanfu Town know that his Jia Ke's military exploits are not for nothing, but they are also killed with one knife and one shot.

After receiving the order to let the troops line up, the army formation changed and advanced, and the two thousand men were in a strict formation, and the team kept advancing, but there was no confusion, the front and back were like straight lines, and the spears and crossbows never wavered.

Jia Ke looked at the army he had trained with his own hands, and was very proud. He couldn't help but be interested, and shouted to the below: "Soldiers, sing the song of persuasion." ”

This military song was changed by Jia Ke from the Beiyang military song, mainly because this military song is more in line with the characteristics of this era, and it is also very powerful to sing, which can effectively improve morale and form its own style, which is what distinguishes his troops from others.

As soon as Jia Ke finished instructing all the soldiers, he sang together: filial piety for the son, loyalty for the minister. The imperial court paid taxes to raise the army, and did not hesitate to pay heavily to raise the army. A soldier eats and wears dozens of taels, and the six-grade officials are generally the same. If you don't contribute to the country, heaven, earth, ghosts and gods will not tolerate it. Since ancient times, there have been many generals, and Hugh has despised himself as a soldier. First, we must study and practice diligently, and make meritorious contributions after learning skills; Armor is a protective object, and it should be cleaned from time to time. Second, we must fight bravely and bravely, and we should live naturally without death; If you retreat from the military order, you will lose your bad name. Third, we must be kind to the people, and the food and wages depend on their cultivation; As long as the soldiers and the people become a family, the people will help each other and achieve success. Fourth, if you want not to humiliate women, which one is not born to parents?

With the high-pitched singing and neat pace of the troops, the momentum of Nalu Mountain rushed forward like a sea of mountains.

He Tong led 8,000 men and horses to line up three miles away, and there was no movement at first. Just far away in the sky, I saw a black line, slowly moving forward. After a while, there was a high-pitched singing voice.

As the team got closer and closer, He Tong saw more and more clearly. This black line is the army advancing in a neat formation. The army sang high songs as it moved forward.

This force was small in number, only about 2,000 men, but it was imposing, singing and moving forward, but all the steps were not scattered, all the weapons were at the same angle, and all of them were wearing uniform armor.

And in front of this army, there is a person wearing a golden crown, wearing gold armor, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, and a red charcoal fire dragon horse in his crotch, and the treasure armor he wears radiates countless rays of light in the sun, and the eyes of the people who shine on them can't be opened, making people feel like gods.

The 8,000 men and horses led by He Tong were only newly trained, and they only held out for a short time against the 2,000 Kaiping soldiers who were constantly advancing, and then there was a commotion.

He Tong knew that this was Jia Ke and wanted to give him a dismount, so he tried his best to suppress it, but it didn't work at all.

Fortunately, Jia Ke stopped a stone's throw away from them. The formation stopped as if it had never moved, and all the soldiers were like wooden men.

Jia Ke rode forward on a flying horse alone, and when he saw a general in iron armor in front of him, he thought it must be He Tong. So Zongma came to He Tongma, bowed his hand and said: "This is the commander of He, and the young general Kaiping Town guards Jia Ke here." ”

He Tong looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old general in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was still practicing martial arts at home and learning the art of war. And the young man in front of him has become a general who sits on the side and commands 10,000 horses.

But he is not a fool, when he looked at Jia Ke just now, he didn't look at anything else, only looked at the weapon in Jia Ke's hand, and the Fang Tian painting halberd alone was probably one hundred and twenty or thirty catties. There have only been two or three people who can use such weapons throughout the ages. It seems that this Jia Ke is not in vain, he must be a fierce general on the battlefield.

When He Tong was thinking, he came back to his senses when he heard Jia Ke's greetings to him. Hurriedly clenched his fists on the horse and said rudely: "Here is He Tong, this time on the order of the envoy of the festival, he led the troops to Kaiping Town, but I didn't expect to see General Jia here." I heard the name of General Jia in Xuanfu Town, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name. ”

Jia Ke heard him speak politely, and also smiled and complimented him: "At a young age, I was lucky enough to make some contributions, but it was just relying on the emperor's heavenly prestige and the blessing of my ancestors, where could I have fought on the battlefield for decades like Lord He." The credit is real. ”

He Tong thought that Jia Ke would become famous at a young age and must be soaring. When I saw it today, I knew what a young man and an old man were, this Jia Ke not only spoke like a spring breeze, but also did not have a trace of pride, and only such a person became a master.

He Tong hurriedly said modestly for Jia Ke's praise: "General Jia is too famous, I just have some minor merits, compared to the general's two defeats of the Tatars, it is nothing at all." ”
