Chapter 28: In the Front
During this time, he recruited 20,000 recruits and trained them in the southern camp, in terms of combat effectiveness and soldier quality, it was far from the cavalry in front of him, I really don't know what method the imperial brother used?
"The last general, Bai Yisheng, knock on the Hou Ye!" Bai Yi gave birth to a horse and bowed.
"Hmmm! Take me to see the royal brother! Lin Xiao nodded and urged again.
Soon, the candlelight in Lin Feng's bedroom lit up, Lin Xiao was brought into the bedroom, Lin Feng was wearing pajamas, sitting on the wooden bench next to him, and said to the blade warriors guarding outside: "Gather all the lieutenant generals, I have something important to discuss." ”
Before coming to Cangyan Mountain for training, the Lin brothers made a plan, before the New Year, Lin Feng would lead the troops into Beijing, during this period, if it was not a matter of soldiers, Lin Xiao tried not to enter Cangyan Mountain, so as to avoid leaking Lin Feng's whereabouts and training places.
At this moment, Lin Xiao came in person overnight, indicating that the soldiers had risen.
Lin Xiao wanted to perform the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, but Lin Feng stretched out his hand to stop him: "Second brother, what is the matter, Han Fang Annai can't live it?" Or is it that the Rong people are going south again? At this moment, Lin Feng would rather hear the news of the former than hear about the latter.
"Although the Han side and others are actively planning, they still dare to make a move, but now the Rong people are beginning to retaliate, the Great Khan of the Rong tribe, Murong Bowen, personally led 300,000 cavalry to the south, the villages outside the Black Flag Pass, tens of thousands of people were all slaughtered, and the general Liu Xuanyuan was defending the city without a fight, waiting for rescue."
The 300,000 Rong cavalry chose to go south in mid-October, obviously not to fight the grass valley, this season, and it is not the harvest season, and there is no need to send 300,000 cavalry south, it seems that it must be to avenge the Zuo Xian Wangbu, and by the way, ask for Murong Mengfei!
After the battle of Tumubao, Liu Xuanyuan's tiger and leopard battalion was only 20,000, that is, recruiting new soldiers, I am afraid it was less than 40,000, and the confrontation with 300,000 well-trained cavalry was undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg.
"This matter is not trivial, what advice does the minister of the DPRK and China have?" Lin Feng asked.
"Hmph, those scum, it's okay not to mention it, but when you mention your brothers, you want to kill them. In the entire court, except for the ministers, Zhao Shide, Liu Chengfeng, and the two ministers, the rest of the people either suggested taking the initiative to surrender, or cutting the land to pay compensation, and even more, some people suggested that Yan Guo take the initiative to merge into Zhao State to avoid soldiers. Lin Xiao was furious and gritted his teeth.
At this time, Lei Jieying and eight lieutenant generals, including Zhao Hongru and Huang Puxuan, walked in wearing battle armor and carrying weapons.
"Your Majesty, summoning the last general and others late at night, there must be an urgent military situation." Lin Feng motioned for Lei Jieying and the others to sit down, and the nine people gathered around the square long table, Lei Jieying asked anxiously.
The emperor has a habit of attacking the military camp at night, but it has never been the blade soldiers who gather everyone, and seeing that the emperor has three war horses tied outside, everyone guesses that something from the outside world is happening.
"Rong clan, 300,000 cavalry south!" Lin Feng's tone was calm, and he was not panicked.
"Whew!" The generals took a deep breath.
300,000 cavalry is enough to crush all living beings, and it should not be underestimated.
"Your Majesty, the last general is invited to fight!" Without any hesitation, Zhao Hongru got up and took the initiative to ask.
"This battle should not be underestimated, the Rong people slaughtered the people outside the Black Flag Pass, attacked the Black Flag Pass, General Liu did not have many soldiers, and defended the city without fighting. It can indeed buy a lot of time, but the Black Flag Pass has been in disrepair for a long time, and it can't stop the Rong people after all. Lin Feng told the generals about the battle situation on the front line, and neither agreed with Zhao Hongru to send troops, nor refused: "The Rong people are in full swing, and they are coming with revenge, so this battle should not be taken lightly."
Huangpu Xuan, I order you to bring crossbowmen to support General Liu overnight, reach the Black Flag Pass, and listen to General Liu's orders. ”
"Yes!" Huang Puxuan got up to leave and walked out of the bedroom, and soon after, there was a horn sound outside.
Lin Feng glanced at the generals again, "Bai Yisheng, Zhang Yu, Huan Bangchang, Zhao Jun, lead their subordinates deep into the grassland, attack the rear of the Rong clan, and they must not fight continuously, how many can be killed, Bai Yisheng is the commander, and Zhang Yu is the deputy." Immediately go get the equipment food, and drive it overnight. ”
"Yes!"
"Feng Shihu, Hou Mingfeng, take the heavily armored cavalry to the Black Flag Pass quickly, you can meet the enemy head-on, let's go."
"Yes!"
"Your Majesty, the last general is invited to fight!" Zhao Hongru saw that all the seven Zhonglang generals received the task, and only himself and General Lei Jieying were left in the house, so he was anxious, he took the lead in asking for battle, but the emperor did not choose him, did he think that he, the Zhonglang general, had few soldiers and few generals, and it was not enough to stop the Rong people.
"Lei Jieying, Zhao Hongru, you two straighten out the people and return to Beijing!" Lin Feng said categorically.
The recruits have not yet been trained, and they are not suitable for combat at the moment, according to Lin Feng's concept, they will train for another six or seven months in the coming year, and the recruits will definitely scream, but unfortunately, the Rong people will not give them a chance, and 300,000 cavalry will go south, which is the rhythm of annexing the Yan Kingdom.
Even if the recruits have not yet been trained, if they do not send troops, the Black Flag Pass will be missed, the Wolf Pass, the Tumu Fort, and the White Horse Pass will all be threatened, and once the Rong cavalry reaches the White Horse Pass, the Yan Kingdom is really in danger.
At present, the Yan Kingdom must not perish, otherwise, even he will die.
Instead of being beaten passively and waiting for the country to be ruined, it is better to send all the Yu Linwei out, and train for more than two months, more or less have some military literacy, and when they go to the battlefield, they can't kill the enemy, and they can also cause trouble to the other party and delay time.
Moreover, Yu Linwei has not been established for a long time, but his combat effectiveness and tactics are not weak, and it is not a good thing for Yu Linwei to go to the battlefield earlier and experience the tempering of blood and fire.
Sooner or later, wolf cubs will have to go out to forage for food, and stay in the wolf's den, how can they become ferocious wolves.
The news of the Rong army's pressure on the border, I don't know who spread it privately, the people in the capital are panicked, and many rich families have begun to pack their bags at night, bring out the money and food stored at home, arrange their families, and be ready to flee the capital at any time.
In the early morning of the next day, the capital was very lively, people came and went, and the teahouse was overcrowded, these people did not come out to do business, nor did they come out to play, they were inquiring about the news, inquiring about the news of the front, and inquiring about the news of the emperor.
The soldiers pressed the realm, but the emperor was not in the capital, and he didn't know where he was at the moment, in the crowd, sighing, all scolded Lin Feng for being mediocre.
Defeated Zuo Xian's Wang Ministry, didn't know how to take precautions, didn't know how to take advantage of the good opportunity to sort out the government, and went south to play, isn't this obviously ruining the ancestors' country?
"News, the latest frontline news!" In the teahouse, when there was a lot of discussion, someone hurriedly ran in, stood on the table, and shouted breathlessly.
Suddenly, in the teahouse, the tea guests who were waiting for the news surrounded one after another, and those who couldn't rub it up also pricked up their ears, hoping to hear a few words.
"Tell me, tell me, what's going on?" Someone sent his teacup to the visitor, urging.
The person who came drank it clean and changed his tone: "Last night, Yong'an Hou went out of the city overnight, I don't know where he went, at present, there have been more than 20,000 crossbowmen going north overnight, 40,000 light cavalry first, 20,000 heavy cavalry, also on the front line, I was lucky to see heavy armored cavalry, one by one like a wolf and a tiger, very fierce. ”
"Impossible, there are so many cavalry from our Yan Kingdom, you must not lie, this is about everyone's lives." Someone immediately questioned, glaring at the man and asked.
"No, why not, at the beginning of June, when there was a flood in Gyeongju and the displaced people poured into the capital, didn't Yong'an Hou recruit 80,000 new soldiers among the displaced people? Going north to support General Liu's troops, maybe it's them! The person who delivered the message looked firm, unquestionable, and categorical.
"How is this possible, count on the recruits to ------ cut!" With a chill and a look of disdain, everyone hurriedly withdrew from the teahouse, preparing to go home to pack their bags and go to other vassal states to temporarily avoid the army.
At this time, someone rushed in and said happily: "Cavalry, cavalry, a large force of cavalry appeared at the south gate, and the emperor and the Marquis of Yong'an have returned." ”
What's going on? The cavalry, the emperor, everyone was puzzled and flocked to the south gate. At this time, Lin Feng and his party had already entered the city and walked along the street in the direction of the palace.
The streets were crowded with people, standing on tiptoe and looking at the front of the street. At this time, there were two earth-shattering tiger roars in front of the street, and the people felt a chill and looked at them in a blink of an eye.
Two unusually large tigers, three or four meters long, were running up quickly, with a fierce momentum, but they did not hurt anyone.
Behind the two tigers, on a white horse, sat a young man, wearing dark armor, straddling the horse chopping knife at his waist, wearing a military uniform and heroic, as if Kaifeng Sword, revealing the demeanor of a king, dark and deep eyes, as if a pool of deep water was submerged and people had nowhere to breathe. This person is the emperor who is mediocre and immoral in the mouth of the people.
Yong'an Hou and the two young generals followed, all of them in black armor, carrying a sword, walking with a tiger, not angry and arrogant, and heroic in their eyebrows.
In the middle of the street, five thousand elite horsemen followed, young men were full of energy, burly, wearing all the same color chain mail, carrying a strong crossbow on their backs, holding a horse chopping knife, five people in a row, walking quickly, looking carefully, you will find five war horses, the pace is exactly the same, the war horse cavalry, all in a straight line, head high, eyes proud, the spirit of slaughter emerges in the eyes, people dare not look directly.
After the cavalry, a mysterious scenery appeared, at the end of the ranks, more than 2,000 heavily armoured, armed infantry with only two eyes exposed, majestic, dragon walking, two eyes as bright as eagle's eyes.
Holding a half-human high shield, holding a nearly two-meter chopping knife, the sword shines in the winter sun, the cold light is clear, making people shudder, this infantry, fierce and forested.
The procession passed through the streets quickly, without the slightest lingering, and the soldiers did not even blink their eyes in the face of the onlookers.
When the whole team disappeared at the end of the street, someone suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has returned with elite soldiers." Suddenly, the street seemed to explode, and there was a lot of discussion.
How many years have passed, how have there been such murderous and disciplined troops in Dayan, compared with the idle and powerless dragoon guards on the streets, this army seems to have fought with Taizu in the south and the north, and defeated the dragoon guards and tiger and leopard battalions of the Yan Kingdom.
