Chapter 67: Practice is practice
Huanzhou was a strategic place in the border area of Shaanxi Province of the Song Dynasty, and if the Western Xia people attacked Huanqing Road, Huanzhou would be the first victim.
Knowing this, it is easy to deduce how dangerous this trip is to Huanzhou.
Zhou Huai gave Tang Ning countless preventive injections before he came out of Runzhou, and now he has finally seen results. Six days later, when Tang Ning saw the mottled Huanzhou City, he did not feel much uneasiness, but was full of emotion about this city that had experienced vicissitudes.
Huanzhou Zhizhou is the son of Chongpu and Chongge. The governors of Huanzhou are almost all old breeders, and before Chong Pu was his father, he was the father of the plant, and the father of the plant, Shiheng, also served as the governor of Huanzhou for a while.
In this way, there is a kind of family army, which refers to the elite soldiers and fierce generals in this area of Huanzhou.
Seed Park didn't come out to greet it, this is natural. Even Chen Ke, the commander of the army, was not qualified to let the dignified Zhizhou personally go out of the city to greet him.
However, Chong Pu is still very face-saving, and sent one of his generals to greet him.
"Brothers, you have come all the way from Gyeongju and worked hard." The general stood at the gate of the city, followed by a group of soldiers who were pressed by the black, and those who didn't know thought that this was going to be a war.
With a wave of his hand, the general said loudly: "The journey has been tiring, and you must have been tired from the journey. Lord Zhizhou has already gathered a place in the city for the brothers to rest.
Without further ado, Wang Sunsin! ”
"The last general!"
"Take the brethren to the city to rest!"
"Yui!"
As soon as Chen Ke, Dong Su, and Tang Ning got off the horse, they looked at the general in front of them in a daze, and they didn't have time to reply. A tall officer with slender arms and a tall figure jumped out in front of him.
"Everyone, please come with me!" Although the man looked like a rough man, his voice was surprisingly not rough.
Chen Ke was about to reply, when he saw the general's big hand wave again, and the group of people behind him rushed up like perverts who saw a beautiful woman, snatched the carriage and horses from the hands of the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army, and happily slipped away.
The whole process is comparable to bandit robbery, except that they rob faster and more orderly than bandits.
Chen Ke stretched out his hand and said, "This general ......"
The general was obviously in a hurry, and he arched his hand at Chen Ke and interrupted: "Thank you, brother, there are still things to do next, so I won't stay longer."
If you have any questions, just ask Wang Sunchen...... It's the general next to you, he will give you answers one by one. ”
With a crackling machine gun, the general turned and ran.
Chen Ke only had time to let out two 'oh-oh' sounds, and the general had already run away.
Tang Ning glanced at the handsome-looking strong man, and asked curiously, "You are Wang Sunchen?" ”
Wang Sunchen nodded and said, "It's a humble position, if this lord needs to ...... something."
"Aren't you very good at archery?" Downing interrupted him.
Wang Sunchen was a little shy, scratched his head, and said shyly: "The lowly bow is not worth mentioning, there are many people in the army who are skilled in bowing, and the last general is just a low-end archer." ”
Tang Ning sighed, and did not speak again. He only had some impressions of the name Wang Sunsin, and he wasn't sure if he remembered the wrong person.
Chen Ke, Dong Su and the second generation of officials walked behind with horses and muttering, and Tang Ning and Wang Sunchen walked at the forefront.
Lin Wei led himself and Tang Ning's horses to follow closely, and Qi Fu was like a curious baby
Look, look at the west. Like Tang Ning, everything in Huanzhou City is very new in his eyes, but Tang Ning's curiosity is not so strong.
As the city at the forefront of the Huanqing Road War Zone, everything in Huanzhou City is mainly convenient for soldiers.
The barracks are two miles inside the east gate and cover a large area. The main roads in the city were so wide that it was not a problem for four or five knights to run side by side.
But the rest of the area is very cramped, perfect for street fighting. It is estimated that when designing this castle, the countermeasures of the enemy were taken into account when they entered the castle.
There are very few shops in Huanzhou City, but there are many houses. What made Tang Ning strange was that most of the residents in the city were old, young, and women, and young and middle-aged men were rarely seen.
"Why is that?" Discovering this problem, Tang Ning asked Wang Sunchen a question.
Wang Sunchen replied with a smile: "My lord, these are the families of the brothers in the army. There have been wars in Huanzhou for many years, and there must be dozens of them in a year.
The common people are unbearable, and those who can go have already left. It's a pity that the city of Huanzhou is empty, so I don't know when the brothers who came here, if their families are close, they will bring their families here.
The last general has been in the Western Army for five years, and it seems that this tradition has existed since before the end of the world. ”
Tang Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "Then aren't you afraid that the city will be broken, and the thieves will come in and attack your family?" ”
Wang Sunchen glanced at Tang Ning, and said in a very firm tone: "If the thieves want to kill in, there is only one possibility. It is to kill all the 6,000 defenders of our Huanzhou, even if only one person is left, the thieves will not want to enter the city for half an inch. ”
Tang Ning nodded silently again, putting his family behind him, this is indeed a way to increase combat effectiveness. It's just that this method is really a bit dangerous, there are many ways to break through a city, and Wang Sunchen's mouth is the stupidest one to kill all the defenders.
But any general with a brain will not do this when commanding a siege, unless the strength of the army is several times more than ten times higher than the opponent's will choose this method.
I don't know if it's intentional or not, when the 2,000 men and horses of the Xuanwu Army arrived at the barracks, the defenders of Huanzhou were rehearsing. Dust rose on the school grounds, and Downing didn't want to eat a mouthful of sand, so he took out the veil and put it on his face.
When more than 2,000 people passed by the school grounds, they saw the officers standing at the front pointing to the side of the Qingyang Army and seemed to say something, and then the soldiers on the school field broke out into laughter.
Tang Ning smiled and said to Wang Sunchen, who looked embarrassed: "It seems that we are not as popular as we imagined in Huanzhou." ”
“……”
Chen Ke was very annoyed, the Western Army was very lonely, and he knew that they were very xenophobic. But the Western Army doesn't like to take others to play, so why are they still standing there laughing at others?
Dong Su saw that Chen Keda had a posture of rushing up and single-handedly challenging the opposite group, so he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Commander, calm down."
The Western Army is like this, and everyone looks down on them because they are powerful.
Didn't the brothers who came back from the change of guard also talk about this?
Besides, we're new to the city, and we've never fought with them, so if we were we, we wouldn't trust others, right?
Don't be angry, put out the fire. Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky. Don't make an impulse to make an accident, that won't be easy. The commanders of the Western Army are also well-known for protecting their shortcomings, so you don't want to get into trouble. ”
When Chen Ke heard this, he felt that it made sense, and the fire in his heart had been extinguished by ninety percent. But people didn't dig out the guy directly like Tang Ning, so Chen Ke still said with a stalk around his neck:
"Lao Tzu didn't believe that they were so powerful, so Lao Tzu's soldiers fought with them, and they were not far off. But since Commander Dong has made you say so, I won't give you face if I make any more trouble.
Hmph, count them lucky today, for the sake of your old Dong's face, I'll let them go. ”
Originally, he gave himself a step down, but who knew that the voice should be a little louder, and he was heard by the officer on the school ground.
Holding his arms, he walked over with three or five followers and blocked in front of Chen Ke.
After looking Chen Ke up and down, the officer raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that it was the Xuanwu Army who escorted the supplies this time, which scared my brother."
When did the dignified Xuanwu Army do what the soldiers did? ”
"Isn't it faulty?" Chen Kexin said that eighty cows pulled Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu decided to let you go, and now you are hitting Lao Tzu's body again.
Suddenly anger rose from the heart, and evil arose to the side of the guts. As soon as he straightened his chest and closed his abdomen, he pushed forward and pushed the officer to his feet. With a fierce expression, Chen Ke said angrily: "If you are not convinced, let's choose some people to come out and practice!" ”
The officer went to the forbidden army and lost the election that year, and later went to the northwest to join the Western Army.
didn't want to make meritorious contributions, from a big soldier, to a partial general. Although he is only a miscellaneous general, how many veterans in the army have not been able to get a general to do, and they can be regarded as some famous.
Therefore, he hates the forbidden army very much, although the Western Army belongs to the same classification of the forbidden army, but in his eyes, the Western Army and the Forbidden Army are like the difference between the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army, one is heaven and one underground.
After listening to Chen Ke's words, this general did not hesitate for a moment. After standing firmly, he nodded on the spot and said, "Okay! Then choose 100 people to come out and practice!
Lao Tzu let you, let you choose, when you go outside, don't say that Lao Tzu bullies you! ”
"No need, when Lao Tzu's soldiers beat your soft-footed shrimp and cry to your mother, you will know that you are wrong." Chen Ke scolded with a stalk on his neck, and the general also returned the mouth, and the two almost started to fight directly.
After a long time of letting people pull away, Chen Ke roared: "Choose someone now!" Hit now! Lao Tzu wants you to see how powerful the Xuanwu Army is! ”
"Your Xuanwu Army is no different from other forbidden armies, one by one looked powerful to die before the fight, and they all died when they fought. You just scream a little more now, and you'll cry after the fight! ”
The two were talking and fighting together again, and everyone hurriedly pulled away again, this time the two no longer quarreled, but turned their heads to select people to prepare for a group fight.
Tang Ning was very excited, he liked to join in the fun. Especially this excitement has nothing to do with him, he likes it even more when he can happily be a melon-eating crowd.
"Envoy of Fortune, lend me those two heroes beside you." Chen Ke walked up to Tang Ning slowly, because he was so angry, his expression didn't have time to change.
Tang Ning shook his head vigorously and said, "If you don't borrow it, what if something happens?" These two are my good brothers, and I don't want them to be injured at the hands of their own people before they meet the Tanguts.
Don't borrow! ”
Chen Ke said angrily: "Lao Tzu is the commander!" This is a military order! Do you dare not obey?! ”
Tang Ning looked at Chen Ke like a stool: "I'm sorry, I'm the superintendent of Huanqing Road, not your Xuanwu Army." I am the land of the government, you are the land of the army, and your orders cannot control my land. ”
There is really nothing wrong with this, especially a civilian officer like Tang Ning, just like the prison army, whose status is always much higher than that written on the notice.
