Chapter 425: The Eve of the Mountain Rain 3
(Ladies and gentlemen, a strong subscription is the driving force behind this book...... Of course, I also ask for a ticket and a reward!! )
Since the bounty was issued and a group of people were given officials, Wei Wuji's subordinates were full of energy.
Since they were all newly appointed lieutenants, Wei Wuji assigned them many more tasks in order to get to grips with the army as soon as possible, and all of them were difficult.
For example, they were infantry soldiers, but they were fully armed, and with ten days' worth of dry rations, they were allowed to travel a hundred miles on foot in two days.
Many of these unreasonable and rather difficult arrangements can not only sharpen the will of the non-commissioned officers, but also temper the coordination ability of these newly promoted officers, so that their orders can be communicated up and down.
In this way, the barracks where Wei Wuji was located was empty, and the only thing that was still a little moving was the ordnance department next to the barracks, which was where the craftsmen invited by Wei Wuji were located.
Where, the manufacture of iron tools has begun to be made in batches, including the creation of mounted spears with bladed edges, and the matching iron armor.
However, due to the limitation of iron ore and the shortage of manpower, the average daily production volume is two iron armors and four cavalry spears.
This set of equipment is on people, riding spears and iron armor, and it is properly seventy or eighty pounds.
This is still the weight that was obtained after several deletions by the two masters, and according to Wei Wuji's previous design, that set of equipment may exceed 100 catties.
If you add bows and arrows, and other dry food, the weight of the soldiers equipped with this body will probably reach one hundred and thirty or forty pounds.
You must know that Wei Wuji is building cavalry, even if it is a "heavy cavalry", it is also about speed.
But these things, Wei Wuji did not make public, because this batch of equipment will be his secret weapon.
And now, Wei Wuji is in the military tent, discussing the situation inside and outside the Great Wall with Zhou Yanchen Zhan.
"Now, the two 10,000 horsemen of the Xiongnu have moved to this position, and the rest are still being assembled......" Wei Wuji held a branch and pointed to the simple sand table road in the middle of the military tent.
Chen Zhan and Zhou Yan both looked solemn, obviously they also realized how much pressure there was on the Lingbei camp now.
Although the war has not yet begun, everyone can predict how tragic the war will be. The Huns, who had been silent for several years, would be earth-shattering once they exerted their strength.
And after receiving the news from the dipping pole, Wei is really struggling now...... The battle of Chen Di has always been unsmooth, although the Qi army has been firmly suppressed, but Linjiang City has never been able to recapture.
Fortunately, Tian Yuwen, the new monarch of Qi State, is now trying the last chance to talk to the family about the conditions again.
Of course, not only that, to the west of the Wei State, the Qin State is now not settled.
Although the Changping War of the twelfth year of the Marquis of Wei hurt the vitality of the Qin people, and they have not eased up until now, they cannot sit back and watch the Wei State become stronger.
Therefore, there was also news from the dipping pole, saying that Wei and Chu seemed to have negotiated terms, and the erosion of the small state between the two countries was temporarily stopped, and Chu went to fight with the Wu people by itself, and Qin could fight against Wei with all its might.
Under such a large environment, I am afraid that the support provided by Wu'an to the Lingbei camp will be very small.
"Now, the 80,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu headquarters may all be dispatched, and it is expected that their main force will move to the south bank of the Heishui River......" Wei Wuji said with a solemn expression.
At this time, Chen Zhan also said: "That is to say, when the last army is assembled, the Huns will not launch a large-scale attack!" ”
Yes, because the news from the scouts in front also said that the Huns had already camped on the north bank of the Heishui River.
"This is also normal, if the supplies behind cannot be in place, this battle will not be fought!" Zhou Yan also interjected.
Then I heard him continue: "Moreover, in order not to hurt the strength of the headquarters, the Huns will also wait for those vassal tribes to come and serve as their cannon fodder!" ”
Chen Zhan immediately agreed: "Mr. Zhou is right, attacking the Great Wall is not the strength of the Hu people, they must be looking for some substitutes for the dead ghosts!" ”
In this regard, of course, Wei Wuji also thought that attacking the Great Wall would really have to be filled with human lives.
"Childe, the general has assigned us a task?" Chen Zhan then asked, because he had also learned some news that there were basically no idle troops under the Great Wall.
However, Wei Wuji's department, which had a commander's staff, did not receive any instructions...... Even if this is a newly formed army, it is still an army! It's the one who can really kill.
"They, maybe it's just for us!" Wei Wuji said casually.
But he himself naturally had a plan in mind, no matter whether the Lingbei battalion was arranged or not, anyway, as long as the army trained hard, it would be enough to improve its combat effectiveness.
And when the war came, he just pulled the army out, and there was nothing to be confused about.
Perhaps the only thing to consider was whether Wei Wuji himself was going to participate in the battle himself, after all, it would really be a dangerous task for the cavalry to rush and kill.
"Don't worry about this, just do your own thing and train the army well!" Wei Wuji said to the two of them, and at this time he had to reassure these two people.
Zhou Yan and the others didn't say much at this time, but at this time they noticed another problem, and then they saw Zhou Yan and said, "Childe, your head?" ”
Wei Wuji's face froze suddenly, he naturally knew what Zhou Yan meant, referring to the wound on his forehead.
At this time, Wei Wuji had already removed the bandage, but in the place where the original wound was, a two-centimeter scar had been left.
Because it was injured by a blunt object such as a stone, the scar also looked even more hideous...... Fortunately, the scar wasn't in the middle of Wei Wuji's forehead, otherwise it would have been ......
But at this time, Wei Wuji's mood is actually not beautiful, the medical technology of this era is really not flattering, and it is really not an uncommon thing to leave a scar.
Although Wei Wuji was not very handsome in the past, he could also be called a handsome guy, after all, he inherited the good genes of Wei Hou and Yu Ji.
But now, the scar remained on his forehead, and it ...... It's not handsome anymore.
However, things are two-sided, and with this scar, Wei Wuji undoubtedly looks more iron-blooded and a little colder.
This is undoubtedly beneficial for him to command the army, because the soldiers like it, and their commanders fight with them.
Moreover, overall, the scar itself is not too big, so if you ignore it a little, Wei Wuji is still a "beautiful man".
But these words are just words of comfort, and no one will want to have an extra scar on their head.
