Chapter 142: Under the Banner
ο»Ώ
The desert of the moon is not very hot, Li Angben is a little strange When he recalled the summer days spent in Daqin in the past few years, he suddenly remembered from the books he had seen before that in the next nearly two hundred years, the whole world will continue to be in the Xiaoice period, the weather is not as hot as in later generations, and elite troops like the Great Qin Army can send troops around the clock during the so-called 'severe summer'.
Staying at the mouth of the canyon, Murong Ke looked into the distance, he used to read history books often, and he liked Zhang Qian and Ban Chao of the old Han Dynasty very much, they relied on the prestige of the Han Empire to gather, gathered the armies of those small barbarian countries, swept the Western Regions for the Han Empire, and made immortal feats, which were hung by future generations. And today, he Murong is going to follow his big brother Li and reproduce such feats, which makes him a little difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"I'm really looking forward to how many people will gather under the banner of Daqin's Black Dragon Army to fight." Murong Ke looked into the distance, and couldn't help but look forward to how many troops the envoy of the Iron Yan Department could bring back.
"Young master, I think even if there are more people coming, what's the use, if yesterday's battle was replaced by our Daqin's regular army, a battalion would be able to wipe out those horse thieves." Hu Luguang looked at his young master and poured a basin of cold water on him, "The tribe here, although those men can ride horses and shoot arrows, they are completely rabble, and the melee combat is even worse..."
"Ah Guang, can't you think of the good?" Murong Ke looked back at Hu Luguang with a bitter face, frowned and said, "Even if we are a rabble here, where are those horse thieves getting there, they are just thieves who can't get on the table." β
"Snow Tiger. You're in a good state of mind, but Guang is right. The tribes here are really not very good at fighting. Li Ang didn't know when he arrived at Murong Ke and Hu Luguang, and said with a chuckle.
"Big brother, how are you going to fight this battle?" Seeing Li Ang coming, Murong Ke hurriedly asked, and the ground behind him also pricked up his ears. I don't know why they always feel that as long as they are on the battlefield, there is nothing that Leon can't solve.
"Decapitation." Li Ang glanced at Murong Ke and Hu Luguang, and coldly spit out these two words, he had no experience in commanding a large army to fight, especially the tribal alliance army gathered by such a rabble now, which made him unable to have the mind of fighting a head-on battle with Bantianyun's gang of horse thieves.
"Decapitation?" Murong Ke's eyes rolled, thinking of Li Ang's plain fighting style, he faintly guessed what Li Ang was going to do, "Big brother, you have to directly kill the big boss and the second boss of Bantianyun." As soon as they die, the horse thieves will collapse without a fight? β
"That's right. We don't have time to waste on this group, and tonight, we'll set off. Li Ang smiled, he asked the Tieyan Department to gather the tribes of the desert, but it was just to build momentum, so that everyone thought that he, the general of Great Qin, was planning to gather the tribal alliance. Do what Zhang and Ban Chao did in the Han Dynasty before.
"Just the six of us?" Murong Ke asked with some hesitation, although he also admired Li Ang, he was not blind.
"Of course not." Li Ang glanced at Murong Ke and replied, "I plan to recruit those warlike dart masters, and some tribal warriors who are familiar with the terrain. β
"The soldiers are fast. We're going to take them by surprise. Leon's voice revealed a bit of murder.
"Well, let's leave tonight. Thinking that those deserters have just gone back, Bantianyun can't figure out the reality of our land for a while, and it is estimated that by the time he knows the news of the eldest brother's gathering of tribal alliances, we have already taken his life. Murong Ke already fully understood what Li Ang meant, this battle was a surprise attack, although it was a bit dangerous to use soldiers, but if you want to get it, you have to pay something.
"Go back and prepare well, we will win this battle." patted Murong Ke on the shoulder, and the essence in Li Ang's eyes shocked him and the Di Hu Luguang behind him.
"Whoa." In the loud cheers, Murong Ke and Hu Luguang returned to their camp tents and began to prepare for their arms.
Leon entered the dart board since he used out' Li Liuru's identity of a thousand households, those men of the dart bureau in addition to awe of him, there is a little more longing and desire in his eyes, over the years, a large number of Jianghu men who have no way to serve the country have done the work of licking the blood of the dart master, if there is a choice, many of them will choose to join the army, not to mention that they can keep a family of food and clothing, at least die on the battlefield, it is also considered to be loyal to the country, after the death of the spirit card can enter the Dragon City Qinling, it is better than the dart master, I don't know which day to die in the barren mountains and wilderness, after death in addition to a pension, there is no glory at allγ
"Senho-sama." Seeing Li Ang come in, Dugu, the chief dart head of the four dart bureaus escorting the goods this time, hurriedly got up to greet him, if it weren't for this Qianhu Lord yesterday, they would have all confessed to more than 400 men here.
"Dugu Darthead, this time I came to recruit a few brothers to follow me to do something." Looking at the Dugu Xiao who was only twenty-seven or eight in front of him, Li Ang opened his mouth and said, although the four joint dart games this time are all small dart games in the Xiliang generation, but they have also been open for decades, and this young man in front of him can suppress the old rivers and lakes of those peers, and he can be regarded as a talent when he becomes the chief dart leader.
"Lord Qianhu is polite, if you have something to order, we will not be ambiguous." Dugu Xiao followed his father out at the age of fourteen, his eyes were vicious, and he knew at a glance that this Li Qianhu in front of him was a big tree, so he hurriedly responded to the road. The leaders of the dart bureau behind him also said again and again, "Li Qianhu's business is our business..."
"Then I'll thank you in advance, it's just that this time the matter is more dangerous, but after the fact, if the surviving people are willing to join the army, Li will take care of them, and those who die, Li will also give them a name for dying in battle." Li Ang looked at the people in the dart game, looked around and said, the dark cavalry camp in his hand, in addition to the four hundred orphans and the three hundred scouts he entrusted to Li Yanzong, he can also recruit three hundred people by himself, these perennial dart players are also good candidates for him, and he will inevitably go to the river and Persia in the future. With these darts players who are familiar with the place, you can save a lot of trouble.
Hear about the conditions of Leon's land. Everyone present was short of breath, the Great Qin Legion has always been strict with the conditions for recruiting soldiers, in addition to being innocent, they must also serve before the age of twenty-three, and after this age, they will no longer be recruited
These people, who are not people who have been running around and running around, have long been out of the army to have such a great opportunity, how can they give up, although this Li Qianhu said that this trip is dangerous, but they are doing things that are desperate, not to mention that even if they die this time, they have the reputation of dying on the battlefield, and they will not give in if they die.
"Everyone. I only need a hundred people this time, and I want the absolutely elite kind. "Leon knew that these already tempted darts would be killed. So he didn't worry about anything, he just looked at the dart with different expressions and said, "In the evening, I will tell you what I am going to do, so please select a hundred people before dinner." β
Watch Leon leave. Dugu Xiao decided to fight, he didn't want to be a dart fighter anymore, he wanted to be a soldier since he was a child, to open up territory for the country, instead of being with death every day but not being recognized, dying on the battlefield is always as glorious as dying on a nameless mountain one day. Seeing the Dugu Owl who suddenly came out of the account, the rest of the darts also suddenly realized that this was their best chance to get rid of this life, so they came out of the account one after another and selected their most elite dart players.
"Li Qianhu. You're going to put me in command of the coalition forces. Hearing Leon's words, in an instant. Chen Lang was a little flattered.
"That's right, you just need to temporarily take charge of the coalition forces on my behalf, build momentum, and make it as big as possible." Li Ang looked at Chen Lang, who was a little excited, and said quietly, "You only need to take the coalition army to Bantianyun's lair in two days." β
"Li Qianhu, where are you going?" After listening to Li Ang's words, Chen Lang's face changed, he was a good person, he naturally heard the meaning of Li Ang's words that he planned to leave, and the original joy suddenly dissipated, he was a shrewd and capable businessman, but he didn't know anything about battlefield fighting.
"Don't worry, I won't let you fight for your life." Li Ang looked at the panicked businessman in front of him with some amusement and patted him on the shoulder, "Zhang and Ban Chao of the Han Dynasty were just two scholars, is Mr. Chen so sure that he is inferior to them?" Leon said with a smile, encouraging the merchant to come and rely on him to suppress the tribal alliance in his absence.
"Li Qianhu rest assured, there will be no trust for you." Chen Lang saluted Li Ang and replied in a deep voice.
"Remember, this time it's Daqin standing behind you, and you represent Daqin." Li Ang looked at Chen Lang, whose face had calmed down, and there was a convincing power in his voice.
"Behind me, is it Da Qin who is standing?" Looking at Li Ang who came out of the tent, Chen Lang muttered to himself, and then his round face, which always looked kind, also had a bit of mighty sharpness, there was something in his heart, awakened by Li Ang's words, thinking of those subordinates, he suddenly laughed, "It's just a few barbarian leaders, can't they still suppress them!" Picking up the military badge that Leon had left him, he muttered to himself.
It was already early afternoon, and the envoys sent by the Tieyan Department came back one after another with tribal troops in various costumes, and when they passed through the canyon, they were all shocked by the hill made of human heads. After the battle yesterday, Li Ang asked the people of the Tieyan Department to cut off the heads of the horse thieves before burying the corpses. In order to deter these barbarian tribes and make them recall the martial might of Great Qin.
Looking at the frightened tribal leaders, the envoys of the Tieyan Department bragged, boasting about how brave the Great Qin's General Li and his subordinates were in the battle yesterday, and they killed three hundred fierce horse thieves alone, which frightened the leaders, but there were also a few conceited and courageous tribal leaders who did not believe what the people of the Tieyan Department said.
When they arrived at the mouth of the valley, they saw the black dragon flag flying in the wind, all the tribal leaders showed respectful expressions, they could question that Li Qianhu, but they didn't dare to question this banner, for many years, the victories of the Great Qin Legion have long been a legend, and in the desert, how many once powerful tribes were wiped out under this banner and turned into dust, these leaders grew up listening to the legends of the black legion told by their elders.
"What a mighty banner!" Several leaders from remote tribes looked at the roaring black dragon on the black banner, and they all showed awe-inspiring eyes. At this time, Feng Sha had already ridden out, he changed into a black military uniform, looked at the messy team in front of him, he looked at the envoys of the Tieyan Department, "Tell them that under the banner of the Great Qin Army, they are not allowed to ride their unattached barbarians to ride over, and they all dismount and walk in." Feng Sha said it as a matter of course, ignoring the angry gazes cast by those few tomes.
The leaders of the small tribes have beckoned their subordinates to dismount, and among the leaders of the few tribes, a few have never dismounted, although they are savages, but they also have their pride and self-esteem, if the general of Daqin is to talk to them well, they will also dismount according to the order out of respect for Daqin, but the arrogant tone of Feng Sha is really difficult for them to accept.
"If you have overcome me, you will be allowed to ride by." Sitting on the horse, looking at a few people with resentful faces, Feng Sha still said expressionlessly, with a bit of arrogance in his voice.
Listening to that rude tone, the most irritable one among the several chiefs had already rushed out on horseback, he didn't pull out his saber, but just sheathed and hit the arrogant General Qin.
Looking at the sheathed saber that came, the horse lance in Feng Sha's hand swept out like lightning, and directly knocked the man off the horse, he left seven points of strength, and did not hit a heavy hand. Looking at the sealed sand under the crotch where the horses had not even moved, the head man who had been knocked off got up from the ground, laughed, and said in a non-standard Chinese accent, "I am convinced, Daqin's Tianwei is not fake." He dismounted all of his men and marched toward Fengsha as their tribe's salute to the warriors.
Above the canyon in the distance of Fengsha, Li Ang looked at the four tome leaders who dismounted with him, revealing a cold expression, among the five tome leaders who dismounted later, two of them still had a rebellious look in their eyes when they dismounted, and it could be seen that they were very gloomy characters, so it can be seen that the purpose of coming here is not simple, but unfortunately, they met him. Looking at the various armies rushing in, Li Ang jumped off the rock where he was standing, and before leaving, he had to tame the temperament of these leaders for Chen Lang, so that they could understand something.
