Mobile reading
Sun An was indeed not Lu Junyi's opponent, and after being defeated, Chao Gai looked around and said, "Who else is willing to go and fight with Lu Yuanwai." ”
Lu Junyi's martial arts are outstanding, and he can't help but be unconvinced, Luo Yun has the heart to go over to learn, but as Chao Gai's personal guard, he is always around, so he has to give up.
When the generals returned, Wu Yong announced: "Appoint Lu Junyi as the head of the Jeju Army's gun and stick instructor, the commander of the cavalry battalion, Yan Qing as the deputy general, give the company commander treatment, and reward him for his merits in the future." ”
Lu Junyi hurriedly got up and thanked him, and said, "Thank you for taking it in." ”
There are many soldiers and horses in Jeju, and there are not many leaders, and the strong leaders are Wang Jin, Luan Tingyu, Yang Zhi, and now there is Lu Junyi, and in addition to the veteran generals who came first, the other generals started from small soldiers after they came, and they gave Lu Junyi enough face.
Naturally, it was impossible for the two armies to hold a feast in front of the formation, so Chao Gai held a welcome banquet for Lu Junyi to welcome Lu Junyi to join.
Chao Gai did not immediately arrange a combat mission for Lu Junyi, but first familiarized himself with the rules of the Jeju Army, passwords, secret detention, etc., together with Qin Ming and others, so as not to be unfamiliar with the interior and cause problems during the battle.
Luda Shanshiqi returned to the vanguard army that night, after all, the vanguard army was too thin, and it was a long-fought soldier, so it was inevitable when he was tired.
The army rested for a day, and early the next morning, the firehead army made a meal early, the soldiers were full of war meals, and the army pulled out more than 20,000 troops, more than 10,000 cavalry, and more than 10,000 infantry, with flags covering the sky and the sun, and the horn was deafening.
After only more than 20 miles to the north, the pioneer Yang Zhi sent Feng Sheng over, saying that ten miles ahead, the main force of the Liao army was retreating, but leaving 40,000 elite soldiers to set up a position.
Chao Gai said: "You go back, let Yang Zhi not engage the enemy soldiers for the time being, and wait for the team." ”
Feng Sheng went back, Chao Gai looked left and right, Wu Yong was not too cold, shook a fan, and said: "The Liao soldiers are putting on a decisive posture to scare us away." ”
Gongsun Sheng said: "Defeat them in one fell swoop, and the Liao soldiers will inevitably be defeated on all fronts." ”
Chao Gai nodded and asked, "What about the liaison officer, how is the communication with the Daimyo's Mansion?" ”
The liaison officer is not a member of the Jeju Army, but a person sent by the imperial court to coordinate the Jeju Army and the Hebei Army, the rank of the liaison officer is not low, a five-grade official, but these days are really a nest, these Qiu Ba are not too polite to him, the Jeju Army asked him to contact the Daimyo's Mansion, so that the Daimyo's Mansion can allocate grain and grass, and send troops to fight together.
The liaison officer said: "General Hui Chao, Lord Liang said, the time is not yet ripe, I am worried that the Liao soldiers are pretending to retreat, and be careful to counterattack." ”
Chao Gai frowned, this Liang Zhongshu is quite bold in looting people's wealth, why did he shrink his eggs as soon as he fought.
"How is the coordination of military food and grass, tens of thousands of horses and horses, and the daily consumption is huge, so it can't be transferred from Jeju." Chao Gai asked.
The liaison officer was speechless and said, "This, Lord Liang said that it is being raised, and it is being raised." ”
Li Kui next to him said impatiently when he heard it: "I know that I play an official tone, pretend to retreat, talk about it so funny, and find such a good reason for myself to be greedy for life and afraid of death, I Li Kui looks down on him." If the officials and troops of Hebei fought bravely to kill the enemy, the Liao soldiers would not be able to enter at all. ”
Li Kui was stunned, and the liaison officer's face was also gloomy.
Chao Gai said: "They don't fight us, the army continues to advance, ready at any time, to fight the Liao soldiers." ”
Lu Junyi followed Qin Ming to learn about military affairs, and when he heard that Chao Gai was going to fight with the Liao soldiers, he said to Qin Ming: "Although the combat effectiveness of the Liao soldiers is not as good as before, they are still very strong, let's fight against the Liao soldiers with 20,000 people and 40,000 Liao soldiers, the chances of victory are not great, I have to remind the general." ”
Qin Ming said: "The general should have come prepared, but he didn't say anything specific, Battalion Commander Lu went to talk to the general, so as not to suffer losses in the war." ”
Lu Junyi passed over Chao Gai's side and told Chao Gai about the matter, Chao Gai was greatly moved, and said: "Although Battalion Commander Lu has just joined the Jeju Army, it is obvious that he has already regarded the Jeju Army as his home. ”
Chao Gai took Lu Junyi to the infantry behind the cavalry, and Li Kui, Bao Xu, Fan Rui, Li Gon, and Xiang Chong led more than 4,000 infantry.
These soldiers were working in pairs, carrying a large pole more than two meters long, and a shelf, which looked strange anyway.
"I dare to fight a decisive battle with the Liao soldiers because of these weapons." Chao Gai is less introduced.
Where has Lu Junyi seen this, Chao Gai asked the two soldiers to bring it over, and said: "This is the Vulcan Spear generation, the soldiers are used to calling it a big lifting pole, which can hit with a medicinal stone, and can hit the iron sand the size of a mung bean to more than a hundred steps." ”
Lu Junyi said: "This is a miniature version of the Tiger Squat Cannon, more than 100 steps is the range of the strong bow, I don't know how lethal it is at this distance." ”
Li Kui rushed over from the side and said, "It's no problem to break the light armor in a hundred steps, and the unarmored war horse will be knocked down with one shot." ”
Lu Junyi said: "This artifact can indeed fight with the Liao soldiers, plus our soldiers are trained elite, and they can fight at all." ”
Lu Junyi solved the doubts in his heart and went back with Yan Qing.
The army continued to pull out, and it took less than ten miles to turn more than 4,000 vanguard troops led by Yang Zhi, Luda, Niu Gao, Shi Jin, and Zhao Long, as for Shan Shiqi, he also led more than 3,000 infantry to guard in Lujiazhuang. Now Lujiazhuang has become the grain and grass warehouse of the Jeju army.
Yang Zhi came to report: "Our vanguard army and the Liao State rangers engaged four times, annihilating more than 400 enemies, and our troops also suffered more than 100 casualties. ”
"Okay, properly settle the wounded, get ready, and fight the main force of Liao today for a decisive battle."
There were about 25,000 people, the team was mighty, the dust was all over the sky, the shield bearers and pikemen were in front, the shield bearers and pikemen were covering the 4,000 musketeers of Li Kui and Fan Ruibu, the 3,000 old-fashioned Vulcan guns were heavy and long, and the 500 tiger squat cannons were mixed between the giant shields. The cavalry, which should have been in the front, was assigned to the rear.
The 40,000 Liao soldiers on the opposite side were also in a huge formation, with more than 10,000 cavalry in the lead and more than 20,000 infantry behind. The hunting banner flew in the cold wind, and although the Great Liao Kingdom had declined, it still couldn't hide its former glory.
Gongsun Sheng shook the dust of the Buddha, rode four different to the front of the two armies, called Yeluxiong out, scolded him bitterly, and scolded Yeluxiong for not raising troops to invade the territory.
Ye Luxiong also has something to say, people say that you are a traitor in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State came to help the people of the Great Song Dynasty, Yunyun. Gongsun Sheng is not Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Xiong is not Wang Lang, a scolding war is doomed to be fruitless.
The Jeju army set up a defensive formation, while the Liao soldiers planned to attack, with cavalry taking the lead and bows and arrows and spears moving forward.
