Chapter 1172: The Rise of the Republic XVIII
When the bitter north wind stopped howling, the Liao soldiers who were marching on the ice also heard cheers in the distance.
However, when the cheer reached their ears, it was no longer so loud, so it did not cause much uneasiness.
In contrast, the frequent battles between the scouts and distant horses on both sides made the Liao soldiers a little worried. Most of the Liao soldiers who fought today were dismounted cavalry. That is, if there is a horse and does not ride, it goes out on foot. The reason for this arrangement is related to the terrain near Lushun Guancheng.
Although it is not all mountainous, it is really not open, and most of them will encounter many Youzhou army camps and strong walls, and there is not much room for cavalry to play. And they have to march on the ice, and maybe fight on the ice. The role of cavalry is really not too big.
Don't look at the squad scouts, the distant blockers, and the horses are playing happily right now. They are both good on horseback, and they are also relatively loose in formation when engaged. Ordinary cavalry does not have this level, and they have to form a formation. If a few riders slip in one sitting, it's chaos.
Therefore, less than a quarter of the elite of the four armies sent by Yelu Yanxi today, that is, less than 7,000 soldiers, are on horseback. The others, whether they were regular soldiers and auxiliaries, marched on foot.
Although they marched on foot, they were still cavalry, and they were still experts in cavalry engagement. They were all a little surprised to see the scouts of the Youzhou army running on the ice, launching harassing attacks from time to time, and fighting with the Liao army that drove them away.
The cavalry of the Youzhou Army is really strong!
"How far is it?"
Tonight, Xiao Fengxian, the "former enemy commander-in-chief" of the Liao army, suddenly asked.
"My lord, it's almost there."
The answer to him was Xiao Naye, Xiao Fengxian's second son, whose Han name was "Yu". has married the eldest daughter of Yelu Yanxi, and she is a concubine. At the same time, he is also Yelu Yanxi's nephew (cousin), and his mother (Xiao Fengxian's wife) is Yelu Chun's daughter - the top level of this great Liao country is really a family, basically a family!
"Send someone to call the Shunguo Nuzhen Ah Hu and Zhao Sandu!" Xiao Fengxian said, "Let their people also withdraw, and let the Flying Eagle Army send people to go up." ”
Of course, Xiao Fengxian didn't watch the Shunguo Jurchens fight hard and wanted them to rest. Rather, they wanted to use this "barbarian" unit as a trump card.
That's nearly 600 Jurchen warriors! Wherever it rests, it's a trump card!
After sending out the herald horseman, Xiao Yu also asked his father: "My lord, will you let the Shunguo Jurchen act as the selector later?" ”
Xiao Fengxian shook his head, "You take them, and then give you all the 1,000 armored cavalry of the Flying Dragon Army, and when the fight starts, just rush the big team of the Youzhou Army." ”
Knowing how to charge the artillery with cavalry!
Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Fengxian are still making rapid progress......
"Okay, just give it to the child!"
Xiao Feng glanced at his son first, and lowered his voice: "Yu'er, just let the two kings of Shunguo lead the team, don't be stupid!" ”
"The child knows, the child remembers!"
……
"Hurry, hurry, keep up! Carry your Tianjin crossbow! ”
Zhang Erdan, the commander of the 4th team of the 1st Battalion of the 8th Department of the 8th General of the Army, shouted while leading his group of (equivalent to platoon) crossbowmen on foot.
"It's all for Lao Tzu to remember! After a while, Lao Tzu will not blow the whistle, and no one will be allowed to fire a crossbow! Otherwise, it will be a leather whip to serve, and it will be recorded once! Got it? Du Guoliang, especially you! ”
"Got it!" Du Guoliang replied loudly, and subconsciously felt a pain in his back.
He used a crossbow before he joined the army, and he shot it accurately. So during training, there were a few times when I wanted to show myself too much, so I didn't wait for the officer to give the order, and fired a crossbow...... The result was, of course, a leather whip!
But if you go to the battlefield and still come like this, you won't be beaten. It's a big demerit! This is no joke. A big one has to be offset by one big work, or three times, or nine small things! Otherwise, it will affect the post-war meritorious deeds...... For the "poor middle peasants", not being able to judge merit means losing 200 acres of land and citizenship.
And for a primary school student like Du Guoliang, it means losing the opportunity to enter the Yuntai Academy! The admission notice of Yuntai Academy can be exchanged for military merits. If the credit is small, points will be added, and the credit will be sent directly.
If Du Guoliang can save up one big gong (nine small merits or three secondary merits), he will be able to enter the law department of Yuntai Academy after passing the basic exam (only need to pass).
After graduating from the law department, he will be able to enter the officialdom as a double elite with military merit and law diplomas.
Therefore, this time you must not slip again, otherwise it will be a big trouble......
……
"Reason! Kill Hulu! Divide the field ......"
Monk Zhu Da and Monk Zhu Er shouted slogans while moving forward quickly. The two "monks" are now happy, and the high hats of the landlord class are beckoning to them!
As long as they kill a few more Liao dogs, the two of them will be the landlords of Liaoyang Mansion in the future, and they will be able to eat fragrant and drink spicy food like Nanpi in the same way as the land proposition, and they will no longer have to starve, nor will they worry about having no wife. And you can also be a citizen of Rausch! I heard that if you become a citizen, a republic or something, you will have a share. In the future, if you give birth to a son, you can also study for free. It's fun to think about!
Zhang Dalang, the boss of the two monks, was also shouting: "Remember it all for me, when you rush up later, you must be side by side, not fast, but Qi...... It's like a wall, crush the Liao dog! Got it? ”
The people below responded in unison: "I know, I want to crush the Liao dog ......"
……
Wu Yan's ears were full of shouts and responses from the officers. Although his eighth general was full of recruits, his morale was undoubtedly very high. It can almost be compared with the "house slave" army in the early years.
Thinking of the "house slave soldiers", Wu Yan, who was already in the republican army and worshiped the general, also felt funny. He also has a house in Kaifeng Mansion! It was going to be a wedding room for one of the two sons, but now it seems that there is no need for it.
Those two boys, both of them are out of luck! The big one has also become the partner of the "young master", and his future future is probably above his father.
Just as he was thinking of his precious son Wu Jue, several knights came on horseback, about the third cavalry general's passing horse, and saw the lantern on Wu Yan's military flag (it was now night, and the general's flag was hung with small lanterns to transmit signals) and looked for it.
"Is it the eighth general?"
"Exactly!" The military plane with its own eighth general went up to talk, got the password right, and checked the waist card.
"The third cavalry general, General Wu Tianzheng, informed that the Liao army was temporarily blocked on the sea east of Daniu Mountain! Please the eighth will go quickly! ”
This person called Wu Tian directly, and his name was stipulated by the communication regulations of the Republican Army (Youzhou Army). In the Republican Army, all official names on various circulars and orders, except for Wu Haogu, must use their full names and military positions, and they must not use characters and numbers, nor do they need to avoid shying away. so as not to cause misunderstanding and ambiguity.
Wu Haogu, on the other hand, is called "the king" or "the ruler".
"Got it!" Wu Yan responded, "Go and tell General Wu Tianzheng, just say that this official will lead his troops to rush immediately." ”
"Whoa!"
After sending the cavalry, Wu Yan immediately ordered: "Hurry up and march, target Huangjiagou!" ”
"Hurry up! Target, Huangjiagou ......"
Immediately there were cavalrymen who gave the order, running along the march of the eighth general, shouting. The troops, who were already advancing rapidly, suddenly accelerated and began to run on the official road!
……
Da Niu Mountain, Wutian's Zhengjiang flag, has been flying high above the top of the mountain.
Wu Haogu's chief fake son has now climbed to the position of the top of the generals. And he is in charge of a powerful cavalry general! There are 5,000 ironclad knights under his hands, which is really a powerful force.
But now he did not dare to order his cavalry to launch a terrible group charge. Because the enemy was still staying on the ice of Liaohai at this time, he was not sure if his 5,000 armor would crush the ice if he rode on the ice? If all 5,000 Iron Riders fall into the icy water, they will really die an unknown death.
So he just divided his cavalry into two, one of which was deployed on the slope of Daniu Mountain, and two were placed on the beach. His own general team climbed Daniu Mountain and set up a formation on the top of the mountain to observe the soldiers and horses of the Liao people.
The number of Liao soldiers is really a lot, under the moonlight that vaguely appeared, they were divided into several ways to march, all with torches, condescending to look down, and saw a few fire dragons coming slowly. I'm afraid the total number of troops is no less than 50,000!
In addition to the strong troops, what made Wu Tian feel a little piercing was the birth of the Jurchen in the Liao army. Wanyan Zongbi had already informed him of the matter, and it was said that the leader in the Liao army was the Shunguo Ministry's Jurchen, who was the opponent of the Wanyan Ministry. They had six or seven hundred families in all, and they all took refuge in Yelu Yanxi.
In extreme cases, 1000 rides can be dispatched! And their combat effectiveness is also on par with Wanyanbu.
However, now these Shunguo Sons, whose combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the Wanyan Division, have not appeared. Rushing to the front, it was the Liao army's own distant blockade. Fought with the dummy knight (the second generation of mumboy) sent by Wutian.
The fake knight who was raised with Wu Haogu's private property is now in the second generation. Like the previous generation, they were all teenagers bought from the Liao State through various channels, including the poor Han teenagers in Yandi, the small herdsmen on the grassland, and the yellow-headed Jurchen little hunting slaves. All of them were trained and cultivated by Wutian's "brothers", who bought fifteen or six hundred that year, and now there are more than eight hundred left (the rest are either eliminated or dead), all of whom are the best soldiers, and most of them are sent to the third cavalry general.
In front of this group of fake knights, the Liao people's distant horses are not enough to see. Even if it was the best cavalry shooting of the Khitan cavalry, he still had the upper hand.
It's almost enough, and if you continue to fight, you might scare the Liao dog away.
"Herald!" Wu Tian ordered loudly at this time, "Let the scout team retreat, and give up the ice battlefield to Liaogou to set up the formation!" ”
