Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume 1 Liaodong Shock

Chapter 2 The Jackal Tyranny, Burning the Beacon Smoke

Section 11 Patrol of War Readiness

Early the next morning, outside the city of Liaoyang.

The morning light poured on the city walls, as if gilding the majestic walls with a layer of gold. Outside the city gate, Liu Ling and the prefect Wang Hao led the city's Chinese military attachés to practice wine for the Qincha Li Linbin.

Wang Hao filled the wine glass, respectfully handed it to Li Linbin, and said with a worried face: "Lord Li, Jiannu is cruel and unjust, this trip is extremely dangerous, and I hope that your lord will be careful and return safely." ”

Li Linbin drank all the wine in the cup, poured a hot spicy into his throat, and suddenly became arrogant, and said: "Although the old man is a scholar and has no power to tie the chicken, he will definitely denounce the atrocities of Jiannu, strengthen the prestige of my emperor and the country, and never give up the majesty of my Han family!" ”

Wang Hao was a little embarrassed, and had the heart to stammer, but he didn't expect that this Qincha was a hot-blooded scholar, and he arched his hand towards Li Linbin with a smile and stopped talking.

Liu Ling poured a full bottle of wine for Li Linbin, and he also picked up the wine glass, and said: "Lord Li take care all the way, I wish Lord Li a good return!" ”

"Thanks to Mr. Liu's good words."

After that, the two drank a glass of wine together.

"Lord Wang, Mr. Liu, let's leave it here. The two adults, please go back, and when the old man returns to Beijing, he will drink with the two adults. ”

"Okay."

"Lord Li take care."

Li Linbin got into the carriage with the support of the servants, and more than a dozen Jinyi guards from the Fusi of Beizhen, led by a general banner, escorted the carriage all the way north along the official road.

Yuan Mingxuan and several servants pretending to be Li Linbin also accompanied him.

Li Linbin and his entourage gradually moved away, and Wang Hao confessed to Liu Ling, claiming that he was busy with official business and left first, and the other officials also entered the city and dispersed.

Seeing that it was still early, Liu Ling did not enter the city, and took a group of generals directly to Liu Yunwei's military camp outside the city.

When Liu Yunwei received the news, Liu Ling and his entourage had already arrived outside the camp, so they hurriedly led Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Wen Poyu, and Li Tianhao to Yuanmen to greet them.

After the military salute, Liu Yunwei asked, "Grandfather, why are you here?" ”

Liu Ling said: "Lord Qincha Li has already set off, and we will also start preparing our troops." Take me around the camp. ”

"Yes."

Liu Yunwei took Liu Ling and the others to walk around the camp, Liu Ling saw that the soldiers in the camp were in good spirits, and his heart was a little calm, and he said: "Yunwei, today grandfather will tell you the bottom first." As you know, our garrison in Liaoyang, like other towns, is also divided into battalions and cantonment troops. Needless to say, the tun army is already muddy and can't support the wall, and even if it is rectified, it will not be effective in a short time, so the battle with Jiannu still has to count on the battalion soldiers. ”

"I inspected all the battalions in the city, except for the four battalions of soldiers from your Uncle Xu Jiusi and others, the rest of the thousands of generals and deputy generals are all wine bags and rice bags, and their subordinates are full of ruffians and oil, and these soldiers are useless."

Liu Yunwei listened to Liu Ling's description of Liaoyang's military preparedness, and was very shocked in his heart, he originally thought that no matter how unbearable the Liaoyang garrison was, at least more than half of the battalion should be of great use, and if it was strictly rectified, the strength should be enough. But at this time, when he heard his grandfather's words, the only troops that Liaoyang could use were the soldiers under his grandfather and grandson, and no matter how optimistic and fearless Liu Yunwei was, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in his heart.

"Grandfather, the situation in Guangning is estimated to be similar, and the elite under General Wang is estimated to be less than ours. In this way, with our current strength, we are invincible to Jiannu. ”

"That's right! Our situation is known in the imperial court, and the reason why there is no reinforcement of Liaodong this time is that the imperial court has no money, and then there is party strife. However, if the war starts, the imperial court will definitely try to mobilize a large army to aid Liaodong based on the safety of the community, so although our strength is not as good as that of Jiannu, as long as we resist the initial attack of Jiannu, it will be enough to wait until the reinforcements arrive. ”

"It would be nice if Jiannu waited until the reinforcements arrived in Liaodong and then made trouble." Liu Yunwei said worriedly.

"Let's hope so, alright, take grandfather to see your tigers."

Liu Yunwei received a promise, led everyone to the nearest weapons workshop, and saluted Liu Ling and the generals and said: "Grandfather, uncles, comrades, this is the weapons workshop in my camp. The weapons used by the soldiers in my battalion were slightly different from those of the other battalions, so I made some of my own. ”

"What's the difference?" Zu Tianding, a guerrilla general under Liu Ling, asked.

"It turned out to be Uncle Grandpa." Liu Yunwei Shili said: "The soldiers in our battalion are divided into five generals, and each general focuses on a different level. Specifically, I will have to introduce a few of my subordinates to you. ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei signaled to Lu Ying and the others, and Lu Ying first said: "The last general, Lu Ying, is now the general of the Hanwei battalion, and I have seen all the adults. ”

Liu Ling said: "Don't be formal, let's be detailed." ”

"Order."

Lu Ying sorted out his thoughts and said: "The subordinates of the last general are good at the way of bows and crossbows, so the generals of General A are mostly equipped with strong bows and hard crossbows, and that's it." ”

As Lu Ying spoke, he took down a hard bow and a crossbow from the weapon rack in the workshop, and continued: "Unlike the bows and crossbows equipped by other battalions, the last generals are equipped with strong bows and heavy arrows; The equipped crossbow is a replica of the rhubarb crossbow. ”

"Rhubarb? That's not a low cost. A thousand general manager said.

"Yes, so the Admiral only has a small portion of his men equipped."

After Lu Ying finished speaking, he stepped aside, and Wu Xing continued: "The last general, Wu Xing, is now the general of Hanwei Camp B, and I have seen all of you. ”

Wu Xing continued: "The last general's subordinates are hoplites, and in addition to most of the spearmen, there is also a team of heavy spearmen and Mo sword soldiers. ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Liu Ling also came to his senses and asked, "Modao?!" ”

Wu Xing took something wrapped in a thick cloth from the workshop, put it on the table and opened it, and everyone present saw a long knife, of which the blade accounted for two-thirds.

The body of the long knife is a straight knife as a whole, and it has a slight arc, and there are blood grooves on both sides of the blade, and the whole long knife is cold and cold, revealing a murderous aura.

Liu Ling held the long knife with both hands, waved it, and asked, "Is this a Mo knife?" ”

"Back to the main town, this is a horse chopping long knife imitated in the shape of a Mo knife, and it also refers to the system of the Jingying Imperial Forest Saber. The production of the real Mo knife is very cumbersome, and the materials are quite expensive, with the current situation, it is not possible to equip the battalion, and can only rely on imitation to reduce costs. Because this knife is imitated from the Mo knife, the long knife soldiers in the battalion are still used to be called Mo knife soldiers. ”

Liu Ling nodded, did not speak, waved the long knife in his hand a few times, and said, "This knife cannot be used by a strong person." ”

"Yes, this knife is made of 100 steel and steel clamping process, the knife weighs 15 catties, is about 7 feet 4 inches (about 3 meters) long, the blade is 3 feet 2 inches (about 1 meter more), and the handle is 4 feet 2 inches long. Wu Xing continued: "There is also this kind of heavy gun. ”

I saw Wu Xing pointing to a spear lying flat on the ground, the blade of the spear was partially covered with iron, and the length reached two zhang (about 7 meters)!

"How do these two weapons work together?"

Wu Xing said: "Use heavy guns to form a gun formation to base the enemy, and use a long knife to break through the enemy. ”

Everyone looked at the weapons in front of them, listened to Wu Xing's explanation, and felt some comfort in their hearts, there are still elite soldiers in Liaozhen!

After Wu Xing finished speaking, Zhao Kaishan and Li Tianhao both briefly introduced the equipment of their subordinates, and since the two of them were ordinary infantry, they passed by.

In the end, Wen Poyu said: "The last general, Wen Poyu, is now the general of the Hanwei Battalion, and I have seen all of you. ”

"The last general is responsible for commanding the cavalry in the camp and not collecting at night. In addition, the last general also formed a heavy cavalry. ”

As he spoke, Wen Poyu led a war horse, only to see that the war horse was equipped with a vest, which was composed of a horse face to protect the head, a chicken neck to protect the neck, a chest to protect the horse's chest, a horse body armor to protect the horse's dryness, a rear to protect the horse's hips, and a parasite erected on the horse's hips. After the whole war horse was draped in the waistcoat, it looked like a moving iron-armored beast, which looked very shocking.

Liu Ling asked, "What kind of weapon does the knight use right away?" ”

"Horse lance."

Liu Ling was moved again, and said: "The horse lance is the king of cavalry weapons, which is expensive and very rare. In addition, the skill of the horse lance is also particularly difficult to learn. ”

"What the general town said is that the number of horses and heavy cavalry under the last general is not much, and it can only be used as a surprise soldier."

Liu Ling nodded and said, "Let's go to the camp again." ”

Liu Yunwei answered the promise, and everyone continued to walk towards the camp.

Liu Ling was very happy to see the high morale of the soldiers in the camp, but after walking around, he found a problem and asked: "Yunwei, except for the few elites in your camp just introduced, the rest of the soldiers only have mandarin duck battle jackets, why is there so little armor?" ”

Liu Yunwei explained: "Back to my grandfather, I don't have any money, even if I build these elites, I am already smashing pots and selling iron." ”

Liu Ling sighed, yes, it is really not easy for his grandson to build a combatable army in such a short period of time.

"Are there any firearms in that camp?" Guerrilla General Xu Jiusi asked.

"There are a few three-eyed guns and tiger cannons, but most of them are old and useless."

"How's the food and grass supply?" Liu Zhao asked.

"It's pretty good at the moment."

Liu Ling and his entourage stayed in Liu Yunwei's camp until the evening before leaving. After a day of inspection, Liu Ting has some confidence in his heart, at least in addition to a few battalions of soldiers and horses under his command, now there is another elite soldier.

Before leaving, Liu Ling did not forget to tell Liu Yunwei: "Yunwei, when the things in the camp are not busy, remember to go home and stay for a few days, don't always snub my granddaughter-in-law." ”

Liu Yunwei nodded, and when he heard his grandfather, he really missed his wife at home, so he said, "I'll go home in a few days to have a look." ”

The afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the distant back of Liu Ling and his party, there was a sense of vicissitudes of sunset, Liu Yunwei looked at it for a long time, staring at it in a daze, and never came back to his senses for a long time.
