Chapter 201: To Fuping
In the fourth year of Xuanwu, on the third day of the first month, Zhao Chen left Tongguan and returned to Chang'an!
He left on the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, and in the middle of the night on the third day of the first lunar month, there was a burst of urgent assembly sounds from the military camps in Tongguan and dozens of miles around Tongguan!
Originally, the ordinary emergency assembly sound was the sound of a bamboo whistle, but this time it was the sound of war drums! In the night, the dull drum sounded, and the entire Tongguan was shaken!
Yang Zheng and Liang Hao are no longer soldiers, the two of them are now captains, but the commanders of a regiment! As for Wang Ying, he is a deputy general, the head of an army! Recruits are different from veterans, and the commander of a recruit is still a level below the veteran commander!
Yang Zheng and Liang Hao had already gotten up and put on their clothes as soon as possible, and they had already run towards the outside of the barracks at the fastest speed!
After they came outside, countless soldiers were also coming in this direction!
"Quick! Immediately form a team! Points! After the three drums, all the recruits under Yang Zheng and Liang Hao had arrived, and Yang Zheng hurriedly gave an order!
The soldiers under his command began to form a team, counting, and in the shortest possible time, Yang Zheng was sure that all the people had arrived!
The entire First Army of Recruits is doing something like this!
"General Qiyu, everyone has arrived! None of them are behind! Wang Ying stood there, and a lieutenant ran to Wang Ying and said.
"Excellent! In the middle of the night, the drums of war sounded, and it was something urgent! The order from above will soon be delivered! Deliver my orders, and all the soldiers will immediately prepare weapons, food, and grass, and we will soon set off! Wang Yingdao.
At that moment, the lieutenant immediately conveyed the order, and the soldiers of the First Army of the recruits quickly carried out the order!
After half an hour, the first army of recruits began to move, and they headed in the direction of the northwest!
At the same time as the first army of recruits set off, almost all the troops within dozens of miles around Tongguan began to move!
The forbidden army originally had 50,000 people, plus the 100,000 young people who had been added, a total of 150,000! Now 140,000 of them have begun to march in the northwest direction! Only 10,000 veterans remained in Tongguan to defend Tongguan!
Yue Fei was riding on a horse, and there were several generals wearing armor beside him, and these generals were all frowning!
"Big brother, are you sure that Jin Bing is going to the Fuping area?" A young man in his early twenties.
If Zhao Chen is here, he will definitely be able to recognize this young man! It turned out that this person was Zhang Xian, Yue Fei's sibling brother, who followed Zhao Chen to Tongguan at the beginning! The three most famous generals in the Yue family army in history, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian! Yue Fei is the commander-in-chief, Wang Gui and Zhang Xian are the deputy marshals, Wang Gui is still in Hedong at the moment, and Zhang Xian has returned!
"The Jin soldiers landed from Longmen, and the first target must be Chang'an! The location of Chang'an is extremely important, it is the center of Guanshan! If they want to go to Chang'an, they must go to Fuping from the Longmen area! Let's rush to Fuping now and get ahead of them! Yue Fei said.
Zhang Xian nodded!
Whether it was Yue Fei or Zhang Xian, they were all a little worried in their hearts, they didn't expect that the Jurchens would actually land from Longmen! Yue Fei secretly blamed himself in his heart, feeling that it was a huge mistake for him not to defend the Longmen Ferry! It was from there that Li Yuan landed in the first place, and he actually ignored this matter!
"But we are different from before, our current strength is far greater than before! I believe that the Jingyuan Army, the Huanqing Army, and the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army will also get the news, and they will also go south! With so many of our armies together, there is no problem if we want to destroy the invading women! Yue Fei said.
The so-called Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army is the army under Li Xianzhong! Li Xianzhong originally had 36 rebel troops and 360,000 soldiers and horses, but now there are 100,000 soldiers and horses left after streamlining, and these 100,000 soldiers and horses have also been given the title of "forbidden army", and Li Xianzhong is the commander of the forbidden army in northern Shaanxi!
******
It was snowing heavily in the sky, and the soldiers were striding forward!
Yang Zheng and Liang Hao followed in the middle of the team, and he was urging the soldiers to move forward!
"The Jurchens have landed from Longmen, and they have already taken Hancheng! I heard that their number is at least 100,000! The Jurchens are invincible, so many Jurchens, are we their opponents? Liang Hao said with some worry.
"We will be able to defeat them! Your Majesty once said that our army has an indomitable spirit, that it will overwhelm all enemies, and will never be subjugated by them! What do you say that the Jurchens are invincible, didn't General Yue defeat the Jurchens at the beginning? Those are just Jurchens boasting, don't be afraid! Yang Zhengdao.
"I'm still a little worried, we're all recruits, and the training time is too short! The 100,000 Jurchen soldiers fought in the south and the north, from thousands of miles away to the Central Plains, from the Liao State to our Great Song Dynasty, their combat experience is too rich! Our combat experience is inferior to theirs! Liang Hao said.
"You're too cowardly!" Yang Zheng shouted.
"I'm not timid, I'm just worried! I'm not afraid of death, I believe that none of my brothers are afraid of death, I'm just afraid that we will panic when the time comes, and it's not worth dying! If I can exchange one life for one life, if I can exchange 10,000 people for 10,000 people, I am willing to die! Liang Hao said.
"You two boys, don't talk too much! When we get to the battlefield, as long as we follow me, as long as we keep moving forward, don't think about anything, we will definitely be able to defeat them! At this time, Wang Ying came to their side and said with a smile.
This is a newly established army, facing war, the army generals are worried, this is a very common thing, at this moment Wang Ying is doing the work of the generals in the army!
"Remember those simple tactics in the infantry drill code, remember how to communicate and cooperate on the battlefield! When we get to the battlefield, we recruits just need to accept the orders from above! General Yue is like a god with soldiers, and following General Yue, he will definitely be able to defeat the Jurchens! Wang Yingdao.
Yang Zheng and Liang Hao nodded one after another!
On the night of the third day of the first lunar month, the army did not have any rest, and went all the way!
On the morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month, the army rested in a leeward place for half an hour, during which time they had eaten something, and some soldiers hurried to boil water, and they could finally drink a little warm water, and then go on!
On the night of the fourth day of the first lunar month, they still braved the wind and snow to advance!
On the morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, they rested for half an hour again, and on the evening of the fifth day of the first lunar month, they finally came to the east of Fuping County!
For two days and two nights, they rushed 400 miles with almost no rest! The roads of the ancient times are very different from the roads of today, they are much more difficult to walk than the roads of today, and the roads are even more difficult due to the snow and ice weather!
For such an achievement, the top leaders of the forbidden army, including Yue Fei, were very satisfied!
The first army of recruits has come to the designated position above, and the soldiers have been on the road for two days and two nights, and they are extremely tired at the moment, but the order from above is that they must not rest!
"It gave us an hour of time! In an hour, the golden soldiers will arrive here! At this hour, everyone drink some hot water and polish their weapons! Boys, your first battle is coming! Wang Ying came to the middle of the soldiers and said loudly.
Some of the soldiers were nervous, some were excited, and some were terrified! They were all very worried!
"Are you afraid?" Wang Ying laughed.
"Don't be afraid!" It's just that the sound is not very neat, and the sound is not very loud!
"Are you afraid?" Wang Ying snorted coldly.
"Don't be afraid!" This time it's much louder!
"Yes, not afraid! Don't be afraid! As long as it is a human being, there is a day when it dies! It's just the difference between dying early and dying late! Some people have done nothing all their lives and died on the kang at home, who will remember him after he dies? What's the point of such a death? Even if we die, our names will be engraved in the martyrs' shrine, and our descendants of the Han people will always remember our names and our achievements! You say don't you? Wang Yingdao.
"Yes!" The soldiers said in unison.
"So, don't be afraid of death! At most, twenty years later, he will be a good man! We are men, gentlemen, we have to show the appearance of men and gentlemen! Wang Ying laughed.
The soldiers below burst out laughing!
Originally, the soldiers were a little nervous and nervous, but at this moment, they suddenly relaxed! Seeing this, Wang Ying's face showed a sincere smile!
"After this battle, I don't know how many fighters died here! It's all my brothers, and I'm going to try to make them die less here! I must strive to move forward and set an example! On the battlefield, the braver you are, the more you can survive! Wang Ying is also constantly cheering herself up in her heart!
Among the 140,000 soldiers and horses, 40,000 of them are veterans of the forbidden army! Of the 40,000 men, 20,000 were cavalry! Last year, after Yue Fei got tens of thousands of war horses from Jin Bing, he carefully trained the cavalry, these 20,000 cavalry can be regarded as the elite of the elite, every soldier is carefully selected, whether it is physical condition or ideological realm, they are the strongest group of people in the forbidden army! However, at present, the 20,000 cavalry do not know where they went, and Wang Ying and others did not see the 20,000 cavalry along the way!
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the voices in the forbidden army are gradually stopping, and the surroundings are becoming more and more depressing!
Gradually, they felt the sound of the earth shaking, and the scene of thousands of horses galloping in the distance made people's hearts frightened!
