Chapter 4 Target: Gohara County! (Thank you for the Tiger Whip big 10,000 coins reward, bow and thank you!) )
On the plain leading to Shuofang City, a cavalry army of more than 1,000 people was moving rapidly on the plain, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded on the plain.
Against the backdrop of the gloomy sky overhead, the sound of horses' hooves was like a muffled thunder, and everywhere it passed, the earth trembled slightly.
This team of thousands of people, at first glance, is actually not much different from other armies in the Tang Dynasty, with the same light armor and the same weapons.
However, if you look closely, you will find that this cavalry army, which does not look much different from other armies in the Tang Dynasty, seems to have an invisible thread that connects everyone in the team closely.
Even in the process of running like this, this team has always maintained a rhythm, and under the leadership of a lieutenant general at the front, the whole team is arranged into a long square line, and the torrent is generally coming towards Shuofang City.
And this cavalry army with strict military discipline and neat appearance is not any other Tang Dynasty army, it is the Flying Tiger Army that left Chang'an one step earlier, and turned back to Shuofang from Yanmen Pass.
"This is the Flying Tigers!" Standing on the gate of Shuofang City, Zhao Chen and the others looked at the Flying Tiger Army galloping in the distance from afar, their mouths opened silently, and after a while, they couldn't suppress the shock in their hearts, and exclaimed in a low voice.
Liu Lan was born in Wagang, and now it is more than ten years of military career, a real battlefield veteran, it can be said that Liu Lan has seen a lot of troops, the Tang Dynasty, the Turks, Xue Yantuo, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and others.
However, even having seen so many armies, but at this moment. When Liu Lan looked at the figure of the Flying Tiger Army from afar, he gradually galloped towards Shuofang City. I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart.
An army that can fight well is not a fuss. The sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty all crawled out of the pile of dead people and went to the battlefield one by one, that is, they picked up knives and dared to fight the enemy.
However, Liu Lan has been on the battlefield for many years, and naturally understands in her heart that when she really goes to the battlefield, the courage of the horseman is certainly powerful. However, what is really powerful is an army that can drive like an arm.
One person's bravery is not terrible, and the bravery of tens of thousands of people is not terrible, but if the bravery of tens of thousands of people is really twisted into a rope, it is like ten fingers stretched out and clenched into fists, that is what makes people really feel frightened.
And in front of you. The Flying Tiger Army, which is galloping towards Shuofang City, is obviously such an army!
Even if they were galloping on the road, the whole team. have always maintained discipline, as if a line, this team of thousands of people. Invisibly tied together, making Liu Lan's heart. It's shocking.
"The last general, Zhu Youliang, the lieutenant general of the Flying Tiger Army, see Hou Ye!" A procession of thousands of people galloped across the plains. In the sound of horses' hooves, he finally came to Shuofang City, and then, the Zhonglang general, led by him, rode out of the column, beat his horse and came to the city, facing Zhao Chen on the city wall, and stroked his chest with one hand.
"Rest in place, and set off with Ben Hou in an hour!" Zhao Chen was standing on the city at this moment, and when he heard Zhu Youliang's voice below, his face suddenly froze, and he looked at Zhu Youliang and said loudly.
"Whoa!" As soon as Zhu Youliang heard Zhao Chen's words, he immediately responded loudly, and then, with a lift of the reins, he turned to the thousands of teams behind him, and said loudly: "Master Hou has an order, rest in place, and set off in an hour!" ”
When Zhu Youliang came over, the rest of the thousands of people were all sitting quietly on horseback, and at this time, when they heard Zhu Youliang's Zhao Chen's order, they immediately turned over and dismounted.
For a while, I heard the sound of neat nail leaves, thousands of people dismounted together, and their footsteps fell to the ground at the same time, and there was a neat footstep sound of 'boom', and smoke and dust immediately rose.
"The Flying Tiger Army really lives up to its reputation!" From beginning to end, Liu Lan, who had seen the Flying Tiger Army in his eyes, saw this army trained by Zhao Chen at close range at this moment, and once again, let out a light sigh.
At this time, not only Liu Lan on the city wall, but also all the Xia Zhou troops all saw the Flying Tiger Army in their eyes, and the shocking effect of thousands of people dismounting at the same time and in unison made these Xia soldiers show shocked looks in their eyes at the same time.
When Zhao Chen heard Liu Lan's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, he glanced at Liu Lan with a strange look, chuckled, and turned around and walked towards the city.
The Flying Tiger Army has just come out of the barracks, leaving aside Zuo Wuwei, since the establishment of the army, this is the first time that they have left Chang'an and participated in the war.
If you haven't made an inch, how can you be famous!
Liu Lan's words are either deliberate sycophants, or someone keeps passing on news to him, if it is the latter, it will be a bit intriguing!
Long before the Flying Tiger Army came, several cauldrons had been erected outside the city, and the firewood below was burning, and the heat in the cauldron was surging, and the strong smell of meat was wafting around with the wind, arousing people's appetite.
This is a peak of camels that Liu Lan learned that the Flying Tiger Army was coming, and specially exchanged grain from the herdsmen, slaughtered them on the spot, and threw them all into a few large pots to cook.
"Master Hou!" Zhao Chen came down from the city and paced outside the city, Zhu Youliang saw Zhao Chen coming from afar, and immediately handed over the mount to the pawn next to him, and walked over to Zhao Chen.
"Nothing happened along the way!" Zhao Chen nodded at Zhu Youliang, smiled at Cheng Chumo and Dugumou who were looking at him over there, and looked at Zhu Youliang in front of him and asked.
The guy in front of him, counted, was picked up by him, and when he first arrived at the new barracks, he was just a captain.
Later, under Zhao Chen in the new military camp, because of his outstanding achievements in the city, he was made an exception by Zhao Chen and promoted to the position of Zhonglang General.
"Everything is fine, nothing is wrong!" When Zhu Youliang heard this, he immediately waved his hand at Zhao Chen, and replied with an extremely respectful attitude.
"Well, that's good!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he nodded at Zhu Youliang, looked at Zhu Youliang and said, "Hurry up and rest, and set off in an hour to meet the chief manager!" ”
"Whoa!" When Zhu Youliang heard this, he bowed his hand to Zhao Chen again, and watched Zhao Chen walk towards Cheng Chumo, and then turned around and went to the mount.
A whole camel meat sounds like a lot, however, in the hands of thousands of people, each person can only get a small piece of meat, just this, the Xia army on the city wall is greedy, this kind of food, not just casually can be enjoyed.
Zhao Chen said that for an hour, that was an hour, after eating the camel meat prepared by Liu Lan, Zhao Chen immediately gave an order, and the Flying Tiger Army, including more than 100 people, immediately turned over and got on the horse, waiting for Zhao Chen to set off.
"The last general is here to wish Hou Ye a smooth journey!" At the gate of the city, Liu Lan and Hu Lu stood side by side, and Liu Lan said to Zhao Chen, who was riding on horseback and wearing armor.
"Well, the Governor should also take care!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he also arched his hand to Liu Lan in front of him and said.
This time against the Turks, the Xiazhou army, is not in the ranks of the recruitment, first, Xiazhou just belonged last year, most of the establishment comes from the old department of the previous Liang Division, and the members are complex.
This war against the Turks can be said to be the strength of the whole country, and there is no room for a little mistake in the middle, and in this context, it is natural that the Xiazhou army cannot be requisitioned and sent to the front line of the war.
Another reason is that in three or two days, the grain and grass materials of the army will be transported to Shuofang one after another, and at that time, the entire Shuofang City will become a transit station for the army.
Just like during the Wude period, every time the Turks went south to attack the Tang Dynasty, Shuofang became a transit point for the Turks.
"Master Hou, have a good trip!" Saying goodbye to Liu Lan and Hu Lu, Zhao Chen lifted the reins, and just turned his horse's head and headed towards the Flying Tiger Army, the Xiazhou Army on Shuofang City behind him suddenly shouted at Zhao Chen in unison.
"Master Hou, have a good trip!"
"The last general, waiting here, is waiting for the good news of the Hou Ye!"
“……”
The sound of one after another sounded on the city wall, at first one person was shouting, and then all the Xiazhou troops were all looking at Zhao Chen under the city in unison and shouting.
Among these people, it was naturally the original Xiazhou army that followed Zhao Chen to attack Liang Shidu last winter!
"Take care!" When Zhao Chen heard this voice, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking that it was arranged by Liu Lan in advance, and when he looked at Liu Lan, he saw Liu Lan at this moment, and he also had a look of surprise and inexplicability.
So, Zhao Chen paused slightly, then learned from Fang Cai's appearance, carried a horse whip in one hand, and arched his hand sharply at the black pressure of the Xiazhou army on the city wall, and shouted loudly.
"Let's go!" When these words fell, Zhao Chen did not hesitate any longer, and then shouted at the Flying Tiger Army who were ready to go, and the words fell, and his legs slammed into the horse's belly, and the war horse under the crotch of the listening voice let out a sad hiss, and it was like a lightning bolt in an instant.
The sixteen guard army sent by the Tang Dynasty this time was divided into six route armies, and Li Jing's army was the middle route army, stationed in the area of Dingxiang Road, and the specific location was naturally decided by Li Jing.
When the group set off from Shuofang City, it was already morning, and they kept going non-stop along the way, according to the information left by Li Jing to Zhu Youliang, they kept heading towards Wuyuan County.
Near evening, Zhao Chen rode on horseback, and through the binoculars, he saw that a Tang scout finally appeared in his sight, presumably a scout sent by the Chinese army.
So, turning around and giving an order, the speed of the team immediately accelerated, chasing the scout, and about half an hour later, the Flying Tiger Army led by Zhao Chen entered the Chinese army camp where Li Jing was. (To be continued.) )
