Chapter 308: The Drums Beat and the Flag Rises (I)
Point to the platform outside the imperial capital!
After Wang Mang delivered a touching speech, the morale of the army was greatly settled, and the morale swelled a thousand times. They all want to have a pair of wings on their bodies and fly to the border to kill the enemy.
At this moment, they all seemed to have forgotten the arrogance, domineering, arrogance, fierceness, and ruthlessness of the Huns. Forgot the majestic means of the Xiongnu to kill the fifteen princes, destroy 100,000 defenders, and slaughter millions of people.
They all felt that they were now capable of fighting the Xiongnu, and they would definitely win, and the Xiongnu would definitely not be their opponents.
The swelling of their faith made them lose all fear. The commander's care made them not worry at all.
Wang Mang was very relieved to see his morale rising.
Only those strong people who think about the country and their homeland can so easily be inspired by morale and have the idea of invincibility.
If they are half-minded, or if they are not sincere people who join the army, it will be difficult for these people to be mobilized. Because they have no faith, no purpose, no desire, no pursuit.
After Wang Mang made a brief speech to the soldiers, he turned his head to the commander Han Yang and asked, "General Han, I made an agreement with the Huo family a while ago to ask them to invite people from the Murong family to help us. I don't know if the people from the Murong family have contacted you, have any of them come over? ”
General Hanyang replied: "Back to my lordship, the people of the Murong family had already contacted their subordinates seven or eight days ago, and sent eighty-one masters to help and familiarize themselves with military regulations. ”
"Oh? They actually sent so many masters to help? Wang Mang was slightly surprised, "Then where are they now?" ”
"They are stationed in the former barracks, and if the adults want to see them, I will invite them to come."
"No need, anyway, I'll be on the same road with them anyway, and we'll see you later."
Wang Mang turned his head and shouted below, "Wei City prisoner Li Boke has arrived? ”
When all the soldiers heard this, they didn't know why, but they all looked at me and I looked at you.
After a while, a young man in his twenties walked over and said, "Sinner Li Bo is here to report!" ”
Wang Mang asked, "Have you arranged your family affairs?" ”
Li Bo replied: "Thank you for your concern, my family has been arranged, and now I can go to the frontier with my adults to receive punishment and make meritorious contributions." ”
"That's great!"
Wang Mang said to everyone again: "Beat the drums, raise the flags, pull out, and go on the march!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers on both sides beat drums to receive orders, blow trumpets and cannons, raise flags, and beat war drums.
Bang!
Suddenly, the dull sound of drums spread for thousands of miles, and the hearts of everyone inside and outside the stadium were beating violently.
Since ancient times, the snare drum has been beating, and disputes have been endless. Thousands of miles of blood were shed, and the bones were piled up.
At present, the drums shook the sky, and the hearts of all the soldiers were mobilized again, exuding a strong murderous and masculine aura. This murderous aura seems to be about to materialize, capable of inflicting an unparalleled blow on the enemy.
Whew, whew....
The cold wind blows, and the flags are waving in the wind, covering the sky and the sun, hunting and hunting, and making a shuo shuo sound, which shocks people's hearts.
General Hanyang saw that the horns and cannons were all sounded and the army was about to start, so he took the commander's flag from the side and waved it himself.
On this handsome flag, there is a huge and eye-catching "king" word, which shows everything. At first glance, it looks like a king who stands up to the sky and the earth, and it looks like an all-powerful king's army, full of majesty.
Wang Mang waved his hand and shouted: "The whole army listened to the order and hurried to Yumen Pass in Gansu to set up a formation to wait for the enemy and guard the border pass. ”
"Yes, sir!"
The crowd will hear the order and shout in unison.
At that moment, the group of vanguard soldiers rode on high-headed horses, took the lead in leaving Dianjiangtai, ran in the direction of Gansu, and walked in front to open the way.
Many other infantry soldiers followed.
As for the soldiers who beat the drums and played the trumpets, they also put the drums and trumpets in their hands on the chariots. Then the chariot was propelled by other soldiers, who stood on the chariot and continued to beat the war drums and blow the trumpets to welcome the dawn and send the soldiers off for battle.
"General Wu Jie and General Zhang Sheng, you two are fully responsible for the escort of military rations, and there must be no mistakes."
"Yes, sir." The two generals mounted their horses and ran in the direction of escorting the soldiers and soldiers to supervise the normal delivery of the military rations.
At this time, Wang Mang said again: "General Yanyang, you have the skill of piercing Yang in a hundred steps, and you are good at secretly raiding, which can make the enemy fearful. Now I command you to lead two hundred scouts to make the way for my army. Our army is going to Yumen Pass, you must make our army have no obstacles, if it fails, military law will deal with it. ”
"The last will be ordered!" Yan Yang received the order, led his troops to the front, rushed to the front, and explored the road and military situation.
When all three armies were dispatched, Wang Mang said to Han Yang: "General Han, the battle situation on the border is critical, and the situation is not optimistic. And the soldiers and horses of other major families were also dispatched half a month ago, and I need to lead many generals to Yumen Pass to meet them, preside over the overall situation, and stabilize the situation, so I will not march with you on the same road.
Now you can sit in the middle army, hold down the position, and march steadily, without haste. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with other generals. ”
Han Yang replied: "The last general respects the order!" ”
"Hmm!"
Wang Mang nodded, stepped off the high platform, stepped on the horse, and said to the many generals he brought from the general's mansion: "Let's take a shortcut and take a step ahead, we don't have to go the same way with the army." ”
With that, he waved his whip and drove the horses towards the outside of the platform.
The other generals also hurried to follow, protecting them on the left and right.
After a while, Wang Mang came out of the east gate and came to the place where the original military camp was stationed.
At present, the soldiers of the military camp have already been dispatched, so there is not a single soldier here.
Wang Mang swept his eyes and saw that there were more than eighty people in green shirts and robes riding on horses and waiting in the open space in front of him, and he immediately smiled slightly.
Although he had never seen these people, he knew that these people were from the Murong family. All of them have unique skills, and they can fly pigeons for thousands of miles to pass on books.
He rode up to the group, bowed on his horse, and said with a smile: "I am grateful for the help of all the knights this time." Thinking that I have all of you to help in the battle, it is like a tiger with wings, and sending charcoal in the snow will surely make our army invincible and invincible.
In this campaign, I hope you will give us advice. If I have any rudeness in the future, I beg you to bear with me. ”
When the eighty-one masters of the Murong family saw Wang Mang coming, their faces did not change, and they were very calm.
Therefore, the moment they promised Huo Jianghai, they were all ready, and they didn't have any other thoughts. And Wang Mang is in their eyes, that's it, Wang Mang's identity is not much of a deterrent to them.
After Wang Mang's words were finished, among these people, an old man rode a horse and came to Wang Mang.
