Chapter 302: Heading South (11)
In the wind and snow, Wei Chigong calmly controlled the brigade and approached all the way to the north.
With such weather, such roads, and such mountains and rivers, it is already extremely difficult to march alone. The command and communication of this era, the degree of organization, even if it is elite, is just this level. The scale of the so-called 100,000 and hundreds of thousands of troops is specific to the march, that is, they march together one after another. The three million troops of the Son of Heaven conquered Goryeo in those years, and the march alone was already an out-and-out disaster, and the generals could not control such a large army at all, converging from different roads to a battlefield, and the logistics and heavy supplies could not supply the movement of such a large army.
The result was an army of three million, hundreds of thousands of which were lost in the Dao alone. And there are a large number of fugitive soldiers and soldiers, which have become the source of chaos in the north of the Great Sui.
This was still in the case of the local march of the Great Sui, and the local officials at all levels did their best to support and cooperate, and they also tried their best to choose good weather for the march, but as a result, such a huge expedition on paper finally became the beginning of the collapse of the Great Sui Empire!
And this northward advance, there is a superior enemy in front of them, and the wind and snow cut off the eyes and ears to make it difficult for the small troops to communicate, which is basically equivalent to going all the way blindfolded, and the march alone can make the sergeants and soldiers have a huge psychological burden. You can lose your grip anytime and anywhere, not to mention in the wind and snow, a large group of Turkic green wolves may appear at any time to ride!
It was in this situation that Wei Chigong still mastered his Hengan armor extremely well.
Eight or nine squads were scattered out to keep in touch with the brigade from time to time. Every time he traveled a certain distance, Wei Chigong would contact the sentry team at the pre-agreed location, replace the overly tired sentry team, sort out the situation a little, and then move forward again.
The terrain of the mountains and rivers in the north seems to be in Wei Chigong's heart, and the direction of the activities of each patrol team is to take the lead in controlling the important points to cover the passage of the army. These patrol teams are just doing what they are told. Once encountering the enemy, how to transmit the message, in what direction to retreat, and how long it will take for the brigade to respond, Wei Chigong also explained them all one by one, and when each team threw itself into the vast wind and snow, they all had the bottom in their hearts, and there was nothing to fear about such weather and the powerful green wolf ride.
And the follow-up brigade that was fully covered by the sentry team, Wei Chigong also firmly controlled the speed of movement. Every time he walked for a while, he also stopped to replenish the concentrate for the horses, and let the horsemen move their hands and feet, and even the big one that sheltered them from the wind and snow was brought on the reserve horse as many as two or three pieces, and after the big one on the body was wet, it could be replaced immediately.
Wei Chigong commanded the athletes under his command in this way, spending less effort, taking care of every detail, and trying his best to preserve every point of combat power.
The appearance looks very rough, once the battle is engaged, and when he rushes into battle, he is also brave enough to be the black lieutenant of Hengan Yingyang Mansion. In the process of marching, the meticulousness of command and the accuracy of dispatch are almost like embroidery on a needle, which is very different from its appearance. This is what only those who have accumulated countless battle formation experience and who truly love soldiers can do.
Even if Xu Le and Xu dare to teach hand-in-hand for more than ten years, he is also a genius. But in terms of this practical experience, he is still a lot worse than Wei Chigong. If Wei Chigong and Xu Le get along in a different place and fight for the forward. It's hard to say whether Xu Le has broken the formation one after another, but the casualties will definitely be less than Xu Le!
Wei Chigong sat on the horse's back, squinting slightly, and was carried by the horse like this, swaying forward. It seems to be relaxed, but in fact, Captain Chi Gong was very energetic all the way, paying attention to the posture of each armored horseman, listening to every movement in the wind and snow, passing through every slightly steep place, and preparing how to deal with it in the event of an attack.
Looking at Yu Chigong's bear-like figure, every Hengan armor rider felt extremely relieved.
The newly emerged Xu Le, even if he is a heroic peerless. But as long as there is Wei Chigong in Heng'an, he will never be pressed down!
The brigade came to a mountain bend, the terrain suddenly opened up, and after turning this mountain bend, the terrain tightened again. But the mountain road extends further, but it is only three or four miles away, and out of the mountain road, it is the snow field.
This time he attacked, and did not choose to go straight out of the snow field in front of Renwu Village. Even if the Turkic Blue Wolf Rider is a fool, he knows to open a cavalry guard curtain in front of Renwu Village. Therefore, the Heng'an soldiers of the brigade chose to drill into the mountains again, drill out from another mountain pass, and pounce on the camp where Zhibihe is located in another direction!
And this road is coming to an end.
At the bend of the mountain, several sentry squads were already waiting here, and the men and horses were all tired, silently waiting for the arrival of the brigade in the wind and snow. Seeing the main force of Heng'an armor cavalry appear in front of them, these tired outpost armor cavalry all smiled, and some people also whistled to greet everyone.
Wei Chigong opened his eyes and urged him to step forward. Several of the fire captains who led the Sentry squad also came up. Wei Chigong glanced at them whose eyebrows and beards had turned white, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any movement of Turkic dogs?" ”
One of the team members replied loudly: "From here to the mountain pass, there is no movement of Turkic dogs, and we have repeatedly patrolled!" There are also our people guarding the mountain pass, and out of the mountain pass, it should be the camp of the old dog of Zhibihe! ”
Wei Chigong nodded and glanced back. You can vaguely see Liu Wuzhou's banner following behind. Liu Wuzhou transferred all the Heng'an armor cavalry to the front, and his own Chinese army was guarded by these recruited archers and township soldiers. The desire to expect Heng'an Jiaqi to fight a beautiful battle could not be more obvious.
Behind Liu Wuzhou, it was Xu Le's Xuanjia who rode it. The wind and snow were so heavy that it was impossible to see them following far behind.
But Heng'an Jia rode up and down, and always seemed to feel that the eyes of the Xuanjia Rider were staring at them. Xuanjia Riding has made such a good start, it depends on whether Hengan Jiaqi can continue to fight a beautiful battle! If it is slightly unfavorable, I am afraid that Heng'an Jiaqi will rarely raise his head in front of Xuanjia in the future!
Wei Chigong greeted: "Yuan Si!" ”
Yuan Junwei's figure immediately rushed out of the brigade and swept up the snow and dust. rushed to Wei Chigong before he stood still. This guy has red eyes, and he wants to go crazy when he wants to fight. No matter how many setbacks are in Xu Le's hands, this Yuan Junwei can continue to maintain his unconvinced attitude towards Xu Le, and say that he has to fight a beautiful battle for Xu Le! I really don't know if this guy is a stubborn donkey or just a simple stupid ............
Wei Chigong didn't talk nonsense, so he ordered: "Pick a team of men, replace this group of brothers, go out of the mountain pass first, and then no one replace, go straight to the camp of Zhibihe, and when you meet a Turkic dog, you will beat his mother, press them back, and open the way for the army, can you do it?" ”
Yuan Junwei just roared, turned around and went back to beckon. A team of his closest cronies, Heng'an Jiaqi, immediately accelerated forward. Yuan Junwei didn't say anything to Yu Chigong anymore, and rolled forward with this team of people!
Wei Chigong shook his head slightly and smiled: "Entering the mother, this Yuan Si is crazy." ”
A team member asked worriedly: "I'll catch up and tell Yuan Si to be careful?" ”
Wei Chigong smiled: "Yuan Si should also fight a beautiful battle!" ”
