Ten miles outside Daxikou Town, on a gallop road more than ten meters wide and paved with bluestone, many pedestrians and caravans with horse-drawn carriages are marching on the gallop road. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This galloping road is the first batch of main roads that Sima Yu and Guoyuan decided to build after discussing that day, and it has just been completed for more than a month to connect Daxikou Town and Qilin City.

With the continuous development of Qilin County, the economy and work in the territory have expanded rapidly, and all kinds of products produced in Qilin County have become famous, and Daxikou Town, as the largest port city in Qilin County, has a large number of merchants from other regions coming here every day on merchant ships to carry out trade in Qilin City.

After the completion of the construction of this gallop road, it has greatly increased the convenience of peers, making the caravans between them more and more frequent.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

"Advance the army, give way quickly!"

"Advance the army, give way quickly!"

As the passing pedestrians and caravans slowly moved along the road, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves on the road, and a cavalryman in armor rode his war horse at a gallop while constantly shouting to the pedestrian caravan on the road.

With a shout, the knight quickly scurried across the gallop.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

"Get out of the way!"

Not long after the knight left, there was another sound of horses' hooves in the rear, and several cavalrymen could be seen galloping in the shape of arrows with spears in their hands, shouting as they galloped, and the passing pedestrian caravans immediately separated from the middle and gave way to the two sides of the bluestone road.

The pedestrian caravans on the road were quickly emptied.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

Just when these people were puzzled, with the sound of rumbling and neat horses' hooves, an iron horse of thousands of people soon appeared on the road, all the knights were wearing iron helmets, iron armor, fully armed, like a torrent of steel surging over the road, the mighty power was shocking.

"This,,, this, this is the iron cavalry under the command of General Yangwu?"

A merchant from the distant city of Kuizhou looked at the majestic cavalry and opened his mouth wide, and said with a look of surprise. Such a well-equipped and well-trained iron horseman, he had never seen it in Kuizhou.

Even if all the major forces in Kuizhou are integrated, I'm afraid they won't be able to organize such a cavalry, right? It can be seen that the strength of Qilin County is really extraordinary, the businessman said secretly in his heart.

"Of course, didn't you see that General Yangwu was there too?"

Beside this Kuizhou businessman, a man in a cloth jacket looked at him with a little pride in his eyes and tilted his head and said.

The man in the cloth jacket was a local citizen of Daxikou Town, and although he was only a craftsman, the prosperity and strength of Qilin County also enabled him to stand tall and speak in the face of these foreign merchants.

"General Yangwu!"

The Kuizhou merchant didn't care about the slightly proud and disdainful tone of the man in the cloth jacket, his eyes looked straight at the direction pointed by the cloth jacket man, his face showed a little excitement, and he muttered in his mouth.

I saw that at the front of the team, Sima Yu, who was dressed in dark armor, was straddled on a white horse of a divine horse, and with the rapid progress of the white horse, the big red cloak behind him moved with the wind, and his calm and resolute face had a majestic momentum.

Behind Sima Yu, Wu Song and Wu Tu Gu still only followed him, both of them were also wearing mighty armor and riding the war horse of the divine horse under their crotch.

These armors and war horses were all opened by Sima Yucai from the newly activated Shenwu Dingding after the opening of the mansion and the establishment of the government.

At this time, it was the third day of the second month of the second year of the Great Controversy, and more than half a month had passed since the fifteenth day of the New Year.

In this Spring Festival, the people under the command of Qilin County enjoyed a peaceful and joyful Spring Festival.

After the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the lively and festive atmosphere finally gradually dissipated, and many people returned to their normal life again.

Just after the festival, the newly established Yangwu General's Mansion also began to operate immediately, and Guoyuan, Cui Zhouping, Xu Shu, Xiang Lang and others also quickly entered the working state.

Guoyuan was in charge of the consul general's affairs and managed the daily affairs of the three counties under the command of General Yangwu's mansion, and Cui Zhouping and Xiang Lang, who had just joined, assisted from the side.

Xu Shu, the military advisor, is responsible for managing the military affairs of the entire army under the command of General Yangwu's office, mainly making arrangements and logistics for the generals and schools of each army.

At the same time, the Jinyi Wei outer guards that Gu Changfeng was originally responsible for were also assigned to Xu Shu and were in charge of intelligence investigation, while Gu Changfeng specialized in the replenishment and training of the Jinyi Wei's internal guards.

Previously, because of the approach of the Spring Festival, the battalions that had not been replenished after the war also posted recruitment announcements in various places to recruit soldiers.

The Shaoshan Battalion, the Guards Battalion, the Changfeng Battalion, the Guoyi Army, and the Huben Battalion still maintain the original establishment of 5,000 people, the Sailor Battalion under Yu Dayou maintains the original scale of 8,000 people, and the Jinyi Guard and the Guards Cavalry also maintain the establishment of 2,000 people.

Only the garrison battalion led by Shi Dan and the white pole soldiers led by Qin Liangyu were expanded to 5,000 people.

Coupled with the 8,000 Zhongba garrisons trained by Li Mu in Zhongba County, all the armies under Sima Yu combined to maintain 55,000 people.

Counting the more than 7,000 casualties and the newly expanded nearly 4,000 soldiers, the total number of soldiers to be recruited is about 11,000.

Fortunately, in the Battle of Pingluo and the previous Battle of Shiti Village, the Qilin Army captured more than 16,000 prisoners, of which more than 8,000 slave soldiers and Eight Banner soldiers were veterans of the battlefield, plus some young men recruited from all over the country, more than 11,000 soldiers were quickly recruited.

In particular, the two teams of guards under the command of Hu Chuquan and Cherrigi recruited more than 600 Eight Banner soldiers, and after the continuous persuasion of the people sent by Sima Yu, almost all of the more than 800 Eight Banner soldiers captured were captured by Sima Yu, and even the former deputy capital Tong Mintai also joined him and became Hu Chuquan's deputy.

The remaining part was mostly seriously disabled, and they were also arranged by Sima Yu to each battalion to serve as a riding instructor for the soldiers of each battalion.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the battalions that had just gone through the war was quickly replenished, and the combat effectiveness of the guards cavalry under the command of Hu Chuquan and Cherrigi was greatly improved.

This time, the guard cavalry that accompanied Sima Yu on the expedition was the guard cavalry under Hu Chuquan, and the guard cavalry of Cheriji was training on the plain outside Chengshui Town because of the heavy losses before and the newly recruited soldiers were more.

Just when Sima Yu led the army to move forward with all his might, at Gezhou Village, five miles away from Daxikou Town, hundreds of boats of different sizes docked on the shore, the large ones were 20 meters long, 6 or 7 meters wide, and the small ones were only about ten meters long and about 3 meters wide.

On these ships, a Japanese robber dressed in rudimentary leather armor and armed with knives, spears and other weapons was disembarking from the ship and began to land, and there were even nearly half women and children in the ranks, all of whom were also carrying rudimentary weapons and following the large army, a total of about 3,000 people.
