Chapter 248: From Slave to Master

"Report to the marshal, the horse army should have reached 3,100 people, but it was 3,095 people, and five people fell off their horses due to injuries during training and are recuperating in the camp." Guo Huai saluted with his sword and reported the situation of the Ma army loudly.

Li Zhongyi nodded and ordered: "You must take care of the wounded soldiers, and do not hesitate to work and medicinal materials." ”

"Whoa." Guo Huai replied loudly to Li Zhongyi's request, controlled the horse and followed Li Zhongyi's left side, and the two rode slowly towards the cavalry assembled on standby.

Li Zhongyi walked to the front of the large team and shouted, "You slaves have become the masters of Lingzhou, some of them are convinced on the surface, but they are very unconvinced in their hearts, and they vow to turn you back into slaves. What kind of life did a slave live? You don't know, do you? On a cold day, the aristocratic lords live in warm tents, drinking and playing with women, killing people indiscriminately for fun, but you have to do all kinds of hard work, tiring work, live in a horse shed with leaky wind on all sides, and even your wives have to be dedicated to the nobles and lords to insult them wantonly, this is fucking, is this still the life that a manly man should live? ”

"Sue me, are you willing to raise your own sons, all of whom are the species of noble lords?" Li Zhongyi suddenly raised his voice and asked the cavalry sharply.

"Never agree, let those bitches die......"

For a while, there were deafening roars, shouts, and angry curses in the Ma army camp.

Guo Huai looked at Li Zhongyi intently, he thought to himself, Xiang Shuai is really powerful, and in just a few words, the feelings of the cavalry have been completely inflamed.

These are now Ma soldiers, former slaves. The most hated thing in my heart is that the aristocratic lords can enjoy their wives, daughters and sisters unscrupulously.

Li Zhongyi asked sharply. It is equivalent to re-opening, the old scars of the cavalry, which make them painful and unforgettable.

At this time, there was a violent scolding from the Ma army, like a sea of mountains, "Ayila." Aira, kill, kill. Kill ......"

Seeing that Li Zhongyi was a little puzzled, Guo Huai hurriedly explained in a whisper: "Ayla is the meaning of killing light in the party language. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded and thought to himself. As long as the policy is the right way. Even if they are of different races, they can unite and share the same hatred.

"Now, there are three tribes that plan to unite to attack us after the beginning of spring, rob us of our treasures, and take away our beloved women, everyone said. Can you say yes? Li Zhongyi continued to agitate the feelings of the cavalry, which stimulated these people's blood boiling. It's hard to restrain yourself.

"Kill them all, kill them......" The cavalrymen excitedly drew their swords and struck the small shield hanging from the saddle with great noise.

"Those who are not afraid of death come with Lao Tzu!" Li Zhongyi took out his waist knife, turned his horse and left, and rushed out of the Ma army's camp first.

"Let's all follow Lao Tzu...... Guo Huai followed behind Li Zhongyi, and the second rushed out of the Ma army camp.

For a time, in the camp of the Ma Army, people shouted and neighed, and the sound of hooves shook the sky, and thousands of cavalry troops, under the constraints of their respective officers, rushed out of the camp in turn, followed behind Li Zhongyi, and ran all the way out of the west gate of Lingzhou.

Inside the west gate of Lingzhou, 3,000 infantry troops were lining up in a neat queue, waiting on both sides of the city gate.

Yao Hong, the leader of the team, heard the thunderous hooves, turned his head and said to Zuo Ziguang with a smile: "The Ma army has come, after we leave the city, the security in the city will be handed over to you." ”

Zuo Ziguang knew what Yao Hong was worried about, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "You can go with confidence, although I only have two thousand infantry troops in my hands, there is still no problem in guarding the city and maintaining law and order in the city." Besides, in the state city, there are more than 500 soap servants under Song Yunxiang, which is enough. ”

"Well, Lingzhou is the foundation of the handsome's painstaking management, and you can't miss it a little." When Yao Hong said this, he blinked deliberately.

Zuo Ziguang whispered in understanding: "The emperor ...... The strong and the strong do it! Guo Que'er can do that...... What's more, we're handsome? ”

"Haha, you kid is smart, you can see through it if you don't click it, haha, Lao Tzu used to worry that your kid was too stupid, it seems that he was worried in vain." Yao Hong laughed and ordered, "The handsome man is here, all of them are there, salute!" ”

After receiving the order, Mo Jixun beat his chest and saluted, while sighing secretly. The infantry soldiers of Lingzhou, taken out individually, are far inferior to his family's soldiers, but once they are organized by the officers, they can burst out with amazing combat power.

According to Mo Jixun's covert observation, Li Zhongyi's requirements for military discipline were extremely strict, almost reaching the level of impersonal acceptance.

After receiving four months of high-intensity, large-scale systematic training in the barracks, Mo Jixun already knew the basic situation of this Shuofang new army.

Because he knew too much, Mo Jixun became worried about the future fate of his family.

Through the contradictions between the Dingyan Army, the Khitan and the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, Mo Jixun's family was able to take root in Fuzhou and grow into an elite force.

As Li Zhongyi guessed, Mo Jixun is indeed the son of the Fuzhou (Jingnan Army) Zhe family, he is the adopted son of the current Jing Nanjun Jiedu envoy Zhi Deran, his real name is Zhe Yukou, and he is the oldest grandchild of the Zhe family.

There are two younger brothers under Zhe Yukou, both of whom are the sons of Zhe De Yan's own sons-in-law, one is Zhe Yuxun, and the other is called Zhe Yuqing.

Originally, according to the plan of the Zhe family, it was hoped that Zhe Yukou would blend into the official army of Lingzhou, rely on the support of his family, and gradually rise to a high position, and then slowly grasp the military strength of Lingzhou, and cooperate with the Jingyan army in the northeast to form a flanking attack on the growing Dingyan army.

It's a pity that Li Zhongyi's sudden arrival broke the original plan of the Zhe family, and made Zhe Yukou's efforts in vain.

Today's Lingzhou, under the governance of Li Zhongyi, although the life of the common people is still relatively hard, it is an indisputable fact that the soldiers are strong and strong.

Due to the gradual growth of the new army in Lingzhou, the life of the grass people has gradually stabilized, and it is no longer like before, as long as the news of the party is coming, the whole city is terrified and panicked.

Just as Yu Kou was thinking wildly, Li Zhongyi had already galloped in front of him. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared outside the city gate.

The kicking sound shook the sky, and the flag was unfurled. People are like bears, horses are like dragons, more than 10,000 horses kick through the streets of the city, the ground shakes the mountains, and the momentum soars to the sky.

After the cavalry had passed, the auxiliaries drove the reserve horses out of the city unhurriedly.

According to the military system of Lingzhou. He did not pursue the absolute number of cavalry, and in order to highlight the high mobility, Li Zhongyi arranged a cavalry establishment of one horse and three horses in an extravagant manner.

Other words. One cavalryman, under normal conditions, was armed with three horses.

Although there are more horses in Lingzhou, but. War horses of excellent quality. However, it is still far worse than the Eighth Division of the Dingyan Army and the Eighth Army of the Dingyan Army, which occupies the land of horse breeding in the Hetao.

Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and the most important thing to pay attention to when marching and fighting is to adapt measures to local conditions, and not to stick to rules.

Therefore, according to the actual situation in Lingzhou and the current situation of the horse herd, Li Zhongyi made a more reasonable match.

Thereinto. The best horses always maintain their body and are used to charge into battle. Horses in the middle of the class were used for ordinary riding marches, and the worst horses were responsible for carrying armor and weapons.

In this way, it not only takes into account the daily march, but also emphasizes the high mobility in an emergency, which can be said to kill one stone with one stone!

After all the Ma troops left the city, with Yao Hong's order, the infantry army's brigade also drove out of the city, followed behind the Ma army, and killed all the way to Yanzhou.

Lingzhou Party Item, originally a total of five, among them, the Yehe tribe was annexed by the dog-headed tribe, and then after the victory, the dog-headed tribe, due to negligence, and under Li Zhongyi's sneak attack, the whole army was annihilated.

The remaining three tribes were not as strong as the Yehe tribe and the doghead tribe, and they were unwilling to surrender to Li Zhongyi, so they simply switched to Yanzhou for grazing.

Who would have thought that this year's winter came very early, and the first snow fell in early September. Almost overnight, most of the sheep and cattle were frozen to death.

The grassland people spend the winter, and if the sheep and cattle are not enough, even if they barely survive the cold winter, it will definitely hurt the vitality of the tribe.

According to the estimation of the elders of the three patriarchs, if there is no food supplement, after winter, the population of the three tribes will be reduced by at least half.

In the steppe, population means strength, which means good pasture, means that small tribes can be robbed of their winter supplies, rather than being robbed.

The grassland people do not have as many fart rules as the Han people, and what they pay attention to is the number of people, that is, the uncle. The conquered small tribe must be a slave, not you enslave me, I should enslave you, the strong are respected!

Once the population is halved, will this be enough? The disaster of the dead race is close at hand!

In the face of the grim living environment, the elders and patriarchs of the three tribes did not need to talk much at all, and within a quarter of an hour of meeting, they hit the heads of the Han farmers outside Yanzhou City.

Because the party members were very cunning, they robbed and killed several groups of Yanzhou envoys who called the police along the way, and as a result, four days had passed, and it was not until the early hours of this morning that Li Zhongyi received a warning from Yanzhou asking for help.

In order to test the results of several months of training, Li Zhongyi carried out a general mobilization and dispatched 3,000 horse troops, 3,000 infantry troops, and 3,000 auxiliary box troops in one go, totaling more than 9,000 people.

Mixed in the ranks, he knew very well in his heart that thirty years have passed since the party members sat in the northwest, and Shuofang's officers and troops were the first time that such a large Han army force had been dispatched!

Under the scorching cold wind, the Lingzhou official army, under the leadership of Li Zhongyi, marched to Yanzhou at a distance of twenty miles per hour.

From Lingzhou City to Yanzhou City, about 380 miles, the place where the Yukou camped on the first day was already 100 miles away from Lingzhou.

On the first day of the march, the Lingzhou army marched on the road, reaching seven hours that the Jingyan army was far behind, and the marching mileage exceeded 110 miles.

You must know that in the Shuofang area, the urgent foot delivery responsible for delivering emergency military reports is only 400 miles a day at most, and it is still a state of riding a horse alone.

After drinking a steaming bowl of mutton soup, he lay down on top of the sheepskin bedding, his hands resting behind his head, staring blankly at the top of the tent, not knowing what he was thinking. (To be continued!)
