Chapter 16: War Breaks Out
The next day, the 138th year of the Han calendar, November 8.
The imperial court announced to the world that the first emperor died, and it was passed on to the youngest son Han Cheng, who was crowned on the same day and became the new emperor of the Han Dynasty.
However, considering the young age of the new emperor, Zhao Wei of the Special Military Office was appointed as an auxiliary minister to assist the new emperor in managing the government.
As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar.
On November 20 of the same year, Ke Ding, the general of the expedition to the east, led his 160,000 troops, with the banner of "Qingjun side", to attack Taizhou and Haozhou, which were controlled by the Jingshi battalion.
On the first day of December of the same year, Liu Ya, the king of Zhenbei, sent 100,000 troops, and secretly conspired with the second prince Wang Zheng to attack the territory led by the eldest prince Wang Ze and the third prince Wang Ce on the grounds of resisting the Hu people.
Jingzhou was lost, and Youzhou was besieged.
Broken Tai Mountain, the main hall.
Qin Dali sat on the main seat, and beside him, there stood a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, on both sides of the main hall, on the top of the four chairs, Zhao Dahu, Wang Dachuan, Ma Xiaoniu, and Ding Liao sat down respectively.
"Wang Dachuan." Above the main seat, Qin vigorously shouted.
"The end will be."
"From today, the Snow Dragon Army established the Sky Wolf Battalion and ordered Wang Dachuan to be the commander of the Sky Wolf Camp and lead three hundred troops."
"Thank you, Lord."
"Horse calf."
"The end will be."
"Set up the Tempest Battalion, order Ma Xiaoniu to be the commander of the Tempest Battalion, and all the war horses of the Snow Dragon Army will replenish the Tempest Battalion, leading three hundred soldiers."
"Thank you, Lord."
"Ding Liao."
"The end will be."
"Set up the Agni Battalion, order Ding Liao to be the commander of the Agni Battalion, and all the heavy armor of the Snow Dragon Army will belong to you, leading three hundred soldiers."
"Thank you, Lord."
"Zhao Dahu."
"The end will be."
"Set up the Snow Dragon Guard, and order Zhao Dahu to be the commander of the Snow Dragon Guard, leading thirty troops."
"Thank you, Lord."
Seeing that the generals were ordered, Qin Dali turned his head to look at the middle-aged man beside him and said, "Su Mingda." ”
Su Mingda's body shook, he didn't expect that there would be himself on such an important day today, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Here." ”
"Set up the detective battalion, and order Su Mingda to be the commander of the detective battalion and lead a hundred soldiers."
When Su Mingda heard this, he was shocked, not long after he surrendered, Qin Dali let himself lead a battalion, and just by listening to the name, the detective battalion is the eyes and ears of the army, and its status is so important.
Before Su Mingda could react, Qin Dali's voice sounded again.
"Order Su Mingda to be the military advisor of the Snow Dragon Army, and the generals must cooperate with each other."
"This ...... This ......" Su Mingda was speechless with excitement, this surprise was too big.
"What? Won't the gentleman help me? Qin Dali said with a smile.
In fact, he had already thought of setting up these battalions, and in the past month, the Snow Dragon Army was also trained by different arms, and the Sky Wolf Battalion was mainly light armored infantry and also the archers of the Snow Dragon Army, which could be near or far.
The Tempest Battalion, on the other hand, is a light cavalry that specializes in long-range attacks; The Flame Battalion is the heavy infantry, they are the weapons of mass destruction on the battlefield, and their bodies are covered in heavy armor.
The detective battalion is equivalent to the scout battalion of the Han army, mainly to inquire about the news, as for the snow dragon guard, although the number is the smallest, but it is also the most elite soldiers, they are Qin Dali's soldiers selected from a thousand troops, all of them are skilled, plus Qin Dali personally trained them for a month, it is no exaggeration to say that in the case of not frontal combat, none of the other battalions is their opponent.
"No, it's not. Thank you. Su Mingda said with a trembling voice.
A month ago, under the persuasion of Qin Dali, he joined the Snow Dragon Army, and at the same time, most of the people in Tietou Village were also absorbed by Qin Dali, as for the famous Wang Tietou, no one knew where he had gone, and he might have died.
"Okay." Qin Dali laughed, and then said with a serious face: "Now the Han is full of wars, especially the Zhenbei Army, they have already occupied Jingzhou, and Youzhou will be occupied by them in a few days." ”
"When the time comes, our days will be sad, they will definitely send a large army to encircle us, everyone, what do you think we should do now?" Qin Dali looked at everyone and asked.
"Big brother, the terrain of our Broken Taishan Mountain is so dangerous, with our people, even if there are 10,000 people, they can't come up." Ma Xiaoniu said.
"General Ma, if I were the commander of the Han army, I would put the army in this position, and if I didn't send a single soldier, and within March, Jietai Mountain would become a dead mountain." Su Mingda shook his head and pointed to the map in the center of the hall and said.
Ma Xiaoniu saw that Su Mingda was pointing not far in front of the Duantai Pass, if the army besieged it here for three months, even if there was more food on the Duantai Mountain, it was estimated that it would be eaten, and at that time, if he did not surrender, he would only starve to death.
"What the military advisor said is reasonable." Qin Dali also nodded and said.
"That military advisor has a clever plan." Wang Dachuan stepped forward and said.
When Su Mingda heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Move." ”
"What, moving?" Ding Liao exclaimed.
"That's right, we only have to leave Youzhou, or even leave the territory of the Patriotic Army, so that we can survive and continue our strength."
Qin Dali smiled knowingly and said, "What the military advisor said is exactly what I thought, let's leave Broken Tai Mountain and go here." ”
As he spoke, Qin Dali pointed to the map.
River Peak Town.
"Riverpeak Town? Big brother, this is the border of the Han Kingdom, it was the Hu State in the past, and now it has been controlled by the Hu people. Wang Dachuan looked at it and said.
"Yes, but Riverpeak is a perfect fit for us." As he spoke, Qin Dali looked at Su Mingda and said, "What does the military advisor think?" ”
At this time, Su Mingda stroked his beard and was thinking about something.
moment
Su Mingda smiled: "The lord is really smart. ”
As he spoke, Su Mingda pointed to Hefeng Town on the map and explained to everyone: "Hefeng Town is on the border between the two countries, with high mountains and dense forests on both sides, it is a city in the mountains, which is very suitable for us to accumulate strength in it. ”
"First, the terrain there is dangerous, but the town is not rich and the population is not large, so the two countries do not pay much attention to this town, and even now, the Hu people have put hundreds of people there."
"Second, although Hefeng Town is a town of the Han people, it is a place where the two sides meet, and there are also some Hu bloodlines in it, if we can use these, they will be our trump card."
"Third, if we seize Hefeng Town, there, the Han people in it will definitely be grateful to us, and they have been bullied by the Hu people for a long time, as long as we give civil affairs, then they will definitely support us loyally, not only to solve the problem of soldiers, but also to solve the problem of food."
"To sum up the above, Riverpeak Town is a wonderful place, and it is very suitable for us."
When everyone heard this, they nodded, and they had already acquiesced to Su Mingda's position as a military advisor in their hearts.
Su Mingda glanced at Qin Dali gratefully, he didn't know that this was Qin Dali's opportunity to give him a chance to perform, so that everyone could recognize his position as a military advisor.
Qin Dali nodded, looked at Wang Dachuan and the others and said, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”
The crowd shook their heads.
"Okay, each battalion will straighten out the soldiers, horses, food and grass, and set off for Hefeng Town tomorrow." Qin Dali ordered.
"Yes."
