Chapter 521: Grumbling

Yao Pingzhong and Chong Ji are both in the Chinese army, but they are not taken care of by their fathers.

Both of them joined the army as martial artists, and were first awarded the head of the capital, and soon after they were promoted to battalion commanders.

The two young generals are skilled in bows and horses, and are under the command of Li Youde and fight with Donghu light cavalry, rangers fight, more than 30,000 cavalry of the Wei army are scattered in the left, middle and right three roads, and later by Li Guorui and Li Youde many times on the sparse request, the court also knows that the Donghu rangers are sharp, and gradually most of the cavalry is under the command of Li Youde, but the number of cavalry of the Wei army is still far less than that of the Donghu light cavalry, from the elite level, the Wei army in addition to the general-level bow and horse skill, riding and archery martial arts in the Donghu cavalry, most of the cavalry archery and horse riding and shooting are not as good as the enemy cavalry, It can only rely on solid armor and a small number of cavalry to compete with most enemy cavalry.

The longer the confrontation between the two sides, the greater the losses of the Great Wei cavalry, months of fighting, the infantry losses are not large, after all, there have been no joint battles, only a few small-scale encounters have broken out, and the cavalry almost does not fight every day, I don't know how many loyal and brave soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty, broken halberds and fallen off their horses, and died in this vast and boundless land.

The snow fell and frozen, and the corpses of many soldiers were not buried, and even the battalion commanders like Yao Pingzhong and the disciples of the generals were seriously injured.

Taneki was shot through his armor by an arrow, and was hit in the chest by a shovel-like heavy arrow, breaking several ribs, and he has not fully recovered until now, his face is still pale as paper, because he cannot recover his health in the short term, Taneki has been ordered to evacuate the front line, and can temporarily retire and go home to recuperate.

In the months of cavalry warfare, Chongji led the troops to ride with the enemy for hundreds of battles, beheading dozens of levels, and Chongji himself beheaded more than ten levels, such a performance is enough to make people shine, whether it is the many important generals in front, including a few Taiwei and Li Guorui, all know the name of Chongji, even if it is the Jingshi Liangfu and the Son of Heaven, they also know that this Sanlang of the Breed is quite good, and he is a very outstanding one among the juniors of the Breeder.

Its calmness, perseverance, bravery, decisiveness, and many excellent characteristics are integrated, if it is not seriously injured, whether it is to recruit the envoy or Yue Zhi and other generals, as well as the elders of the family, it is absolutely unbearable to ask the seed Ji to leave at this time.

Dozens of seriously wounded officers left with Taneki, who boarded the ship from the coast of western Liaoxi and arrived at Jinhai, where they were then resettled separately depending on their physical condition, and Tane Ji did not intend to return to his hometown, and his physical condition did not allow him to travel long distances for the time being.

Yao Pingzhong is arms, thighs, chest and abdomen, and many places on his body are not injured, and most of them are spear and iron spear stab wounds, and the deepest wound is in the leg, almost piercing the thigh...... The evaluation of Yao Pingzhong is completely different from the kind of discipline, the kind of discipline is the talent of the general, and Yao Pingzhong's bravery, violence, daring to die, and recklessness are also extremely impressive to many generals.

He led his troops to fight with Hu Cai for two months, and the soldiers under his command beheaded more than 100 levels, nearly 100 cavalry battalions, and only Yao Pingzhong's battalion could behead more than 100!

Such a record is worthy of the name of "Yao Maniac", Yao Pingzhong's leg injury has not healed, although he is unwilling to leave, in his current state, he can only leave with Chongji, and the rest of the military attachΓ©s who have been seriously injured and have not healed.

In front of him, a red flag envoy galloped into the camp, and there was a buzzing sound from the soldiers all around.

This is Ningyuan City, more than 200 miles away from Yuguan, the right side is the sea, the left side and the front are full of high mountains, Ningyuan City is built in the pass of many mountains such as Cave Mountain.

If a stranger came here, he would see the endless coastline on the right, the towering mountains around and in front of him, and only the newly built official road winding forward to the side of the Yushui.

Here in the Qin and Han dynasties is still a swamp, the Qin and Han dynasties have a lot of records, most of them are recorded as this section of the road as deep but not over the wheel, shallow and can not sail the wetland, at that time the Gongsun family mastered the Youyan Ji Liao, divided for decades, is the late Han Dynasty group of heroes to be wiped out, the main reason is that the geographical environment restricts the entry of the army.

Time passes, geography

There has also been a great change, at this moment, Yuguan is still the most important pass, after the pass from Yuguan is a large plain area, along the plain area more than 200 miles forward is Ningyuan City, this city is built in the valley pass, if you look down from a high place, you will find that the mountains on both sides gradually converge, the road in the middle winds forward, and finally converges under Ningyuan City.

The success of the construction of Ningyuan City was also due to the brave fighting of the soldiers, and it was also because Li Guorui had already made up his mind to build this city.

Cavalry and a large number of heavy infantry spread along the two wings, the light infantry to the high mountain half-waist garrison, the Donghu people have no way, their army can only honestly come along the valley pass, can not form an outflanking or sneak attack posture on the Wei army, head-on hard encounter, is in the Wei army's arms, so at that time Donghu Chechen Khan did not order a strong attack, only sent light cavalry to constantly harass, in Ningyuan City after the completion of the construction, and built a large number of auxiliary camps and military forts, Hu cavalry retreated like a tide.

Recently, the main force of the Wei army has been moving southward, and the forward troops and a small number of people have built a large camp on the Yushui side, and the other soldiers and horses have set up camp in the area of the old Jinzhou City in the west.

The harassment of the enemy cavalry became more and more serious, and even the Donghu light cavalry often attacked the area of Ningyuan City along both sides of the valley road to spy on the situation of the camp here.

The Hu cavalry sentry scouts who came over the mountains and mountains are even more numerous.

Li Guorui also sent a large number of sentinels, sharp soldiers, meticulous work, and sentinels, and kept going to the other side of the Yushui to investigate.

People are dying every day, and soldiers are dying in battle all the time.

In the Chongji, in front of Yao Pingzhong and others, there were many soldiers who died in battle who were brought back by mules and horses, but they would not bring the bodies back to Yuguan, but buried them near Ningyuan City.

A group of camels and horses turned back from the front, and when Yao Pingzhong saw the red flag envoy complaining, at least more than 100 corpses of soldiers were transported back from the front, and the corpses were put on the miscellaneous horses, and it seemed that there was still blood flowing down the horses, and the saddles and ties were all dyed red.

"There are many more soldiers whose bodies remain ahead and in the wilderness, unburied." Chong Ji coughed twice, made a hand gesture, stopped Yao Pingzhong, who was about to jump and scold, and said very quietly: "The soldiers are worshiped by the state, and the horse leather shroud is originally our martial arts. To be honest, we all survived, and if we die, being camelized back by such a camel and horse can be regarded as our luck. If you can't come back, where can't you bury your bones? When I was just able to walk, when I was about six years old, my grandfather told me that my family had been holding a bow and shooting arrows for generations, and serving the country on horseback. As long as you join the army, you should treat yourself as a dead man, and don't think about dying in bed. As a martial artist, being able to charge into battle and fight side by side with good men for the country is not in vain in this life. If you hesitate, complain, be timid, fearful, or even run away, you are not a man of the family, and you are not worthy of being the descendants of the old Linggong. I have these words firmly in mind. ”

"If I die on a serious subject, I have nothing to say." Yao Pingzhong glared and said: "According to the tactics of the envoys, it is to rely on Yuguan to build a city here in Ningyuan, and then gradually stop the land supply from Yuguan, and the supply by Wang Zhi's department is mainly supplied by sea, and the consumption of sea supply is small, as long as the imperial court allocates military pay to Wang Zhi's department." The imperial court didn't dare to believe Wang Zhi, and the white envoys made people, and now the supply by sea has been reduced by seventy percent, and the supply consumption from the land route is too great, and they can't help but urge the war! ”

Chongji was a little tired, but also a little calm and said: "It is inevitable that the court will urge war...... The army has spent too much money. ”

"If there are more of us, there will be fewer Donghu people? To force small countries with big countries is to fight for national strength. This seems to be what His Royal Highness King Qin said when he was drinking with us? King Qin said that our Northern Expedition of the Great Wei Dynasty will open the battlefield in the enemy's territory, and this idea is correct. I'm afraid that if I want to do a hammer deal, Meng Lang will fight, and fight with the enemy, which is inappropriate. Now let's

We build a city like this, and the enemy is entangled and entangled, we spend a lot, and the Donghu people also have to consume, their army is on the side of Yushui, waiting for us to crash over, we just can't go over, and they consume. In the autumn, their horses could not be grazed in the spring and summer, and they were all thinner, and if they did not come to the battle, they could only withdraw in the autumn and winter. With the national strength of the Hu people in the east, can it take us two years? In the autumn and winter, the main force of Donghu retreated, we worked hard to move forward, not only in Jinzhou to build a city and build a military fort, but also to build the city in the two important places on both sides of the Yushui ferry, and then to force the first few hundred miles, even the old Xianzhou, Yingzhou, are behind our defensive side, Donghu people want to bite us again, they have to break the city one by one, and when the time comes, they will have to break their heads and bleed......"

When Yao Pingzhong said such a tactic, he couldn't help but be a little proud, but when he thought that this tactic had been rejected by the imperial court, in the past few days, they had seen one after another red flag envoys enter Ningyuan City to urge the battle, and it was estimated that there would be red flag envoys coming one after another, it was obvious that the Son of Heaven and the two governments were unwilling to drag it out any longer, and they were depressed at the moment.

"There will be a red flag envoy today...... "Tan Ji's voice was a little weak, "This is the determination and will of the Son of Heaven and the two governments." ”

"Ball!" Yao Pingzhong spat on the ground and said hatefully: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not subject to it." Let's recruit envoys and many generals to work together, I think the Son of Heaven and the two governments have the determination to dare to change generals in front of the battle? ”

"The chief general and the captains, can they really work together?"

This time, Yao Pingzhong was also silent.

"These big names in our Great Wei Dynasty ......" Chong Ji said with a pale face: "The internal strife is like the layout of the national hand, forced step by step, Li Zhaoyi, Yue Taiwei, they are also difficult." ”

"The Son of Heaven and Zuo Xiang should come over and see the bloody battle outside this Yuguan." Yao Pingzhong said angrily: "Hu cavalry is fierce and brave, even ordinary light cavalry has leather armor, and the armor is only slightly inferior to us, much stronger than Xiqiang and Beiyu. And there are many cavalry, once the light cavalry engages, our army is easy to encounter hundreds or even thousands of cavalry, the autumn here is very short, the winter is cold and abnormal, thousands of miles of ice, our army is here bare-handed, a small number of cavalry and a large number of enemy cavalry fighting, how many good men died on this frozen thousands of miles of snow, they seem to say that we dare not fight, but to call them to see, we are a bad breed or a good man! ”

"The main force of our army is more than 200,000, and the main force of Hu Qi is also more than 200,000." Someone answered: "The center means that the number of the army is equal, and in battle, our army's armor and strong crossbows can play to their strengths, and they should be victorious." ”

"Fighting a war is not a trick, nor is it arithmetic, on paper, who has more people, who has good weapons, and whose armor is thick, who can win. If this is the case, we don't have to fight bloodily, pull out all the people and horses, everyone compares with each other, and ask Mr. Tent to come out and calculate, who loses and who wins, it is clear at a glance. Yao Pingzhong sneered and said: "The people who say these words are afraid that they don't know the story of King Xiang's destruction of the cauldron and the sinking of the boat, nor do they know the rumors, nor do they know the white-robed general Chen Qingzhi's ......."

"Forget it, forget it!" Chong Ji made a firm hand gesture with the palm of his hand, and said to Yao Pingzhong: "I am a farmer, and there are at least dozens of people in the Yao family in the army, don't say too much." ”

Yao Pingzhong realized that the main force of the forbidden army of more than 200,000 people, of which at least more than 30 to 40 troops came from various roads in the northwest and east of the river.

From grandparents to grandnieces and grandchildren, even if the big family has five suits or serious clan relatives, like Yao, a kind of Jiangmen family that has been inherited for more than a hundred years, it is quite normal to have dozens of people in the army, if the solicitation makes Li Guorui decide to enter the army, so many clansmen are in the army, it is not appropriate to say too many complaints at this time, it will attract bad luck and affect relatives.
