Chapter 44: The Great Army Marches North

Jing Wei, Zhao Ting and the others glanced at Luo Zhaoyun with complicated eyes, and then supported each other, and went to the logistics camp to find a military doctor to bandage and recuperate their injuries. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the short term, they will no longer be able to fight on the front line, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise! At least none of them died, nor were they crippled, and when the three of them recovered and could do something, it is estimated that this battle will be over.

Luo Zhaoyun was appointed as the fire chief, and was taken by the centurion Lou Daifei to the sub-camp area of the Youyu Marquis Army Mobile Corps, where new scouts were selected and supplemented to form a new scout fire team.

"Stand up and pick someone!" Lou Daifei stood in front of the camp tent and called thirty people for Luo Zhaoyun to choose.

Luo Zhaoyun is handsome and extraordinary, with a calm temperament, when he goes to that station, he knows that he is from a wealthy family, and these sergeants put away their arrogance and don't want to offend him.

"You're out of the ranks! And you ......" Luo Zhaoyun has good eyesight, and selected four practitioners, three veterans, and two Hu clansmen, all of whom are brave and powerful.

Lou Daifei nodded and said: "Since the people are complete, even if your fire team is officially established, take a day off, and start carrying out tasks from tomorrow." ”

"Whoa!" Ten people answered in unison.

"The rest of the people are scattered." Lou Daifei waved his hand and let the other twenty people disperse and go their own way.

He walked up to Luo Zhaoyun, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Next time you carry out a mission, be careful, be more vigilant, and strive to bring these people back." ”

Luo Zhaoyun was stunned, he couldn't imagine that the centurion, who looked rough and serious, would say such a concerned remark.

"I try my best!" Luo Zhaoyun nodded, he didn't say anything, after all, it was too dangerous to go out of the fortress to carry out a reconnaissance mission, and he would often encounter enemy scouts, and confrontation was inevitable.

Lou Daifei turned around and left, to report the attack on the scouts at a distance of thirty miles to the captain, and then report it level by level, although the matter is not big, but at least let the general know that the Turkic scouts are dozens of miles away, and according to the rules of the Turks, their army is estimated to be close.

Suddenly, the military order to continue to the north came from the big camp, and the three armies pulled out the camp, packed up the tents, lines, and packages, and then advanced to the north of the grassland.

The left army of 20,000 people, although thousands of cavalry were withdrawn, but the corresponding number of shield hands and Mo knife hands were replenished, which was the most suitable type of troops for deploying troops against cavalry.

The shield of the Sui Dynasty, at that time was still called "Peng Pai", was generally rectangular, the whole was narrow and high, some of the two ends were made into sharp corners, the highest upper edge could reach the neck of the infantry, and some shields guarded near there were brackets, which allowed the infantry to support the shield on the ground and hide behind the shield to cover the arrows.

During this period, there were very few real iron shields, all of which were equipped with heavy armor soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers used special wooden shields, so they were called by the Sui army: lacquer row, leather row, joint wood row, regimental row, etc., of which the regimental row was round, and the cavalry was used on horseback.

However, the use of shields is very low, and less than twenty percent of the soldiers in a large army have shields.

As for the Mo knife, it is the kind of long-handled broadsword, weighing more than 30 catties, and it can generally be used by tall and strong burly men, and it also needs some rough martial arts skills to exert its power.

If the Sui army wanted to use infantry formations against cavalry, they must use spears, broadswords, and high shields to build a great wall of flesh and blood in human form!

Along the way, Luo Zhaoyun has been familiar with the names of these nine people, the three veterans are Wang Jin, Pan Lin, Shi Dongwei, and the four soldiers who have practiced some superficial martial arts are Li Changyi from Xiazhou, Wei Chong from Yinzhou, Guo Xiaoke from Yangzhai in Xuzhou, Ji Pingwu from Liangzhou, and two Hu people, one is called Xue Sanchang, who is from Xue Yantuo, and the other is called Murong Qi, Tuyuhun people.

"Xuzhou...... Guo Xiaoke? Luo Zhaoyun felt that this name was somewhat familiar, and he seemed to have seen this name when he was reading the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Could it be...... In the last years of the Great Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, so he first took refuge in Wagang, guarded Liyang with Xu Shiji, and then followed him to the Tang Dynasty, became a general in the early Tang Dynasty, and returned to Guo Xiaoke of Lingyan Pavilion?

Luo Zhaoyun secretly paid attention to this Guo Xiaoke, and saw that he was tall, holding a horse lance, a saber hanging from his waist, and a mulberry longbow on his back.

Through contact, Luo Zhaoyun learned some of Guo Xiaoke's origins, it turned out that the Guo family was a small and powerful family in Liyang County, and he bought a lot of land, but he neither liked to read and study, nor did he produce, but he liked to dance and play with guns and sticks all day long, and was regarded as a rogue by his father and brother.

Although Luo Zhaoyun intended to make friends, he was not in a hurry, and first told these teammates about the precautions for scouts, and told him all about what Ji Chong told him a few days ago, which was more like a military inheritance.

Iron battalions, flowing soldiers. The number is still there, but people have changed one stubble after another, and things are not people.

The army was mighty, stretching for miles, like a long dragon hovering on the grassland.

Finally, at dusk, after marching forty miles through a low mountain range, the army stopped, backed up the hillside, encamped, and ordered to dig trenches, erect barbs, and erect marching and arrow towers, ready for the attack of the Turkic cavalry.

The vanguard army, the left army, the right army, the middle army, the rear army, and the baggage army all went deep into the steppe, and the camps were connected, and it seemed that the commander Yang Su planned to meet the Turkic army here.

All the soldiers were puzzled, and did not understand why Youxiongguan did not hold on, but went deep into the steppe and had to fight the Turkic cavalry, so that there was no advantage at all, and they could not even take advantage of the terrain of Xiongguan, and the casualties were bound to be very large. And in battle with the Turks, once they win, they can't pursue, and once they lose, they are bitten by the cavalry, and they can't get out, and they are killed and wounded.

As night fell, the barracks were extinguished, and the 100,000-strong army was running in a dark mess in an orderly manner.

"All scouts are out of the queue and draw life and death lots!"

Sent out at night, it is generally a dangerous task, and urgent, especially the scouts who probe the main force of the enemy army are the most dangerous, and the mortality rate is extremely high, so it is also called death sign, they are the right Yuhou battalion scouts of the three regiments of 100 people, to send out half of the men and horses to go out to investigate, leaving some scouts to patrol near the camp, in case the enemy comes to sneak attack, and report back in time.

"Let's smoke it, everyone!"

Lou Daifei took out ten sticks and pinched them in his hand, five of them were half-red sticks, and they could stay after drawing it, and wander around the camp for ten miles to patrol, and the remaining five teams would be sent out to run at least fifty miles. You must know that now it is very close to the Turkic army, and it is very likely that you will be able to meet the Turkic scouts just ten miles out.
