Chapter 276: Soldiers

However, at this time, although Liang Shidu had already established the Liang State and proclaimed himself Emperor Liang, he had not had a good day: Liu Wuzhou was eyeing him in the east. However, because both of them are now doing things with the support of the Turks, they resisted the idea of annexing themselves, but Shibi Khan has been dead for a long time, and the new Khan Tuoba Shishu has not made any statement on this matter. Therefore, after losing the continuous assistance of the Turks, the armies of Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shidu fell into some embarrassing situations. This embarrassment was due to the fact that after leaving the Turks to support their troops, both men found that their armies were too weak. Therefore, the most effective way at this time is to swallow up another force, and if two families and a general fight one family, they can still survive in this area where the political situation is not very complicated. But the strength of these two people is half a catty to eight taels, no one can help anyone, once the two sides start a war, although one side can win in the end, but even if it wins, it is a miserable victory, and under the great injury of vitality, it is by no means able to make up for it by swallowing the territory of another force. Therefore, the two sides secretly carried the Turks behind their backs, and they also had several contacts, wanting to unite and conspire together. But in the end, there was a conflict in the distribution of interests, so it didn't come together in the end.

Before Liang Shi had a headache over this matter, he got the news that his spies lurking in the Western Regions sent back, and the spies sent back the information that three newly reorganized Western Regions legions had completed their own training subjects and were now assembling in the direction of Wuwei County. Moreover, the local government near Wuwei County is also purchasing grain circulating in the market on a large scale, seemingly preparing for military use. As for the targets of the sorties of the three legions, none of the spies have been able to detect them so far. And there is no way to investigate in detail, they are a little too active in order to get this information, and some people are targeted by night stalkers, and then captured. The night owl knocked out two intelligence strongholds that Liang Shi had sent people to plant in the Western Regions. Fortunately, several strongholds were parallel to each other, so even they didn't know each other's existence, so only the two strongholds that were destroyed this time, and the largest remaining stronghold survived. At the end of the whole intelligence, the intelligence officer emphasized that no matter which of the three legions were a full legion.

The legions of Li Wenyuan's army, especially the combat effectiveness of the full-fledged corps, Liang Division, did not want to experience it personally no matter what. After all, there have been lessons from the past, and only two or three legions tossed the menacing Turks who came south into a daze, and finally ended up with a dead Khan fleeing north in a hurry. Although there are many unexpected factors in it, these inside facts have never been known to outsiders. Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, the army under Li Wenyuan can at least face the Turks, and it is not an exaggeration to say that some elite troops can be used as one as ten.

Therefore, after getting the news that three legions were assembling the Wuwei army, Liang Shi was unable to sleep and eat, and constantly urged his ministers to find some ways to solve this matter every day, how to show favor to Li Wenyuan or what, as long as he could keep the peace in the territory of Liang State, Liang Shi was willing to pay any price, just like he himself said to his two most favored subordinates when discussing this matter: "As long as Liang State can be kept, Li Wenyuan will give as much as he wants!" ”

After the troops on the front line were assembled, Li Wenyuan's side finally made up his mind. During this period of time, he figured out one thing: it is impossible for the intelligence department under his command to be comprehensive, and in possible future wars and local conflicts, the army will inevitably appear in the situation that intelligence support is not timely, and instead of the problem of generating more casualties at that moment, it is better to put it in the current situation that this small-scale conflict is not timely to improve information resources, how should the army react. Although it was experimental, but in order to be safe, Li Wenyuan activated Zhuang Fudi, who had been staying in Wuwei County, and appointed him to lead the three legions to attack the army of Liang Shidu. Trying to completely wipe out the Liang division after this crusade. Eat all the territory of Liang Shidu, of course, the most important thing is to take over the section of the Great Wall in Liang Shidu. Thinking of this, Li Wenyuan realized that the war was chaotic, and the defense on the Great Wall was like a fictitious thing. The nomads north of the Great Wall can come and go freely at any time through the passes on the Great Wall into the interior to harass and then retreat calmly from the passes of the Great Wall. Therefore, after Li Wenyuan decided to launch this expedition against Liang Shidu, he transferred men and horses from the reserve army to form two new corps, preparing to take over the defense of Liang Shidu's territory after the destruction of Liang Shidu, so as to liberate the three new legions that attacked Liang Shidu. These three legions will fight all the way east, all the way to the coast of the East China Sea, the entrance to the Great Wall.

After the three legions were assembled in Wuwei County, every day was a drill in addition to a drill. The soldiers were almost bored after training every day, and most of them were encouraged by the successive victories of the other regiments under Li Wenyuan in the previous days. Under the excitement of blood, they chose to join the army and enter the army, so in their eyes, an army will only have more achievements if it has a battle. They will also be able to have more honors to brag about to the villagers, parents, and even the girls they have been thinking about for a long time. So when I first received the order to go to Wuwei County, everyone was elated and thought that there was another war. But after arriving in Wuwei County, they spent several days in drills, which made these people's joyful mood gradually cool down. At this time, Zhuang Fudi came and brought Li Wenyuan's order. Under Li Wenyuan's order, these three corps were immediately placed under the command of Zhuang Fudi, and Zhuang Fudi himself decided how and when to attack the Liang forces in front of him.

Zhuang Fudi was not idle in these days in Wuwei County, and every day he soaked in the military academy all day after finishing his official duties. After all, these armies have just been equipped with new artillery, and they don't know much about this kind of big iron bump, so they have to go to the military academy every day to learn and observe the firing of those artillery, as well as to understand the relevant knowledge of artillery. As for the tactics of this new type of artillery, there is no textbook in the military academy that mentions it, and after all, this is a new weapon, and even Li Wenyuan cannot put forward any effective suggestions.
