Chapter 77 Hindu Kush
Li Zhe came to the county lord, and the county lord ordered the sword to hand Li Zhe a token.
"Jun is going to Pengcheng thousands of miles, and Jieyu has nothing to give, so she gave Jun this life-saving gold medal!"
Li Zhe was busy looking at the token in his hand, it was just made of a piece of black steel, where was the gold medal.
The county lord laughed and said angrily,
"Am I still going to lie to you, this gold medal is the token of the Judge Advocate General's Office in the army, representing the figure of my father stationed in the Judge Advocate General's Office, and his authority is second only to the supreme commander of the Judge Advocate General's Office! It has the exclusive right to make decisions on the spot. If something happens to you in the army, use this card to mobilize the soldiers, protect yourself back, and save your life. ”
Speaking of this, the county lord smiled again,
"But I suppose a lazy person like you would never put yourself in danger, right?"
Li Zhe said with a smile,
"Yes, or the county lord understands me! Know I'm not going to do that Rausch hero? ”
"Hmph, hero, bear! You men, you are always thinking about fighting and killing all day long, in vain I thought you would be different from them, a little interesting? Who knows...... Hum! The county lord paused, and seemed to hold his breath a little, "It's just a raccoon dog!" ”
"A raccoon dog!" In the face of the county lord's laughter and scolding, Li He was also a little helpless, and there were some things he didn't want to do, but the fact was that you had to do it. This was true in the original world, and it is also true in this world.
The county lord's intention to send this token was touching, but it was impossible to stop Li Zhe from going to the northern frontier.
Seeing that Li Zhe didn't reply, the county lord still wanted to say something, and finally when the words came to his mouth, he finally sighed and said:
"Forget it, since you have to go no matter what, I still wish you a prosperous journey and a safe return!"
Li Zhe's conscious county lord today is very unusual, very different from his usual polite appearance, and has a lot of weak and cordial feelings, and in the end, listening to the county lord's instructions, his heart stirred and replied:
"Thank you Lord for your kindness!"
The county lord replied:
"You still don't want to thank me, I think you don't have to blame me too much."
Blame you, what does this say?
Li Zhe was surprised, but he wanted to ask again, but the county lord refused to say more.
The two said goodbye, Li Zhe got on his horse and returned to the ranks, and his soldiers meandered forward under the scorching sun.
In the second year of Jingxing of the Great Song Dynasty, in the autumn of 1630, the feudal Tianzhuzhou, the westernmost territory of the Great Song Dynasty, launched the seventh Northern Expedition under the rule of King An, the goal of which was to break through the northern end of the Green Ridge, open the passage to the Western Regions by land, and threaten the Northern Yuan.
……………………………………
The sun crosses the peaks of the Hindu Kush Mountains and sways on the mountainside of the cliffs, reflecting the mottled sun shadows around the valley, like mountain ghosts, like fierce beasts, looking down on the valley with teeth and claws, and it also becomes more and more sinister in the Jedi terrain of this plateau canyon, Li He carried a fire gun on his shoulder, and led his soldiers, one foot high and one foot low foot meandering in this valley, looking from a distance, just like the ants crawling under the feet of the mountain gods and evil ghosts.
The plateau is full of ravines and ravines, full of potholes, and there is hardly a flat land, but the march in this terrain is impossible to get up quickly no matter what, and for half a month, since entering the territory of the plateau, the entire Japanese army has fallen into such a situation.
It has never rained in this area, and if it rains, this area will cost the Song army's life.
This is also one of the reasons why the Northern Expedition of the Song Army was chosen in autumn every year, when the weather was high and cool, drought and little rain, which was more suitable for marching on this terrain.
During this period of time, Li Zhe has long been accustomed to the environment here, and knows that no matter what bullshit the gist of the soldier is, it is impossible for the soldier to work here.
Otherwise, before he went to the ground, he didn't see those damn Hu people at all, and he collapsed first, how could he kill the enemy and make a contribution. Like the main forces under their official commanders, they are all like this first, not to mention the private soldiers below, these are purely the righteous servants who follow the main force to sweep the north, hoping to make meritorious deeds and make some small fortunes.
Li Zhe has such a few volunteer armies, each with an average of about thirty or fifty people, and at most less than a hundred.
The most important thing for marching on this road is to keep the army's grain route, and Li Zhe is now leading his second battalion and a part of the volunteer army, responsible for escorting grain and grass for the army.
As many as tens of thousands of people, countless cattle and horses were dragged behind Li Zhe.
Some people regard him as a star of tomorrow, and some people think that he is only good at talking about troops on paper, and he is very good at training troops, but in fact he is really on the battlefield, the situation is complicated, and the situation is ever-changing, so how can he solve the problem by relying only on immutable tactics.
The upper echelons of the Senate and the Governor's Mansion thought it was very good, but when it came to the army, the situation was very different.
There is a certain tendency of conservatism in the army of any era, let alone the army of the Great Song Dynasty. People have worked very well on such a set of phalanx tactics for many years, and they can do everything to conquer the south and sweep the north, so they have to replace your set, the reality is that there is no urgent need to replace it, and it is always very difficult to innovate in this case.
Although Li Zhe's new tactics seem to have obvious advantages, they can't stop others from picking thorns on it for various purposes. Those old guys who have fought for decades each have their own hand, and who is willing to admit defeat easily.
The Song army's original phalanx of firearms was rigid enough, and Li Zhe's new line infantry tactics took the rigidity to the extreme, even in the face of cavalry charges, the soldiers had to shoot calmly, hold bayonets to death, and defeat the enemy by fighting attrition.
Therefore, when he arrived in the army, Li Zhe was arranged to be in logistics, and he was entrusted with important tasks in the name of beauty.
When Li Zhe arrived in northern Xinjiang, the front-line soldiers had already been engaged in the battle for more than half a month, and he still led his soldiers to patrol the Hindu Kush Mountains.
Li Zhe didn't complain, to be honest, he didn't actually have the intention of going to the battlefield, he came to the north this time not so much to fight, but to verify the actual tactical effect of his own line infantry tactics, so he himself was not in a hurry, so he dragged behind with logistics and honed his soldiers little by little.
While they were marching, a terrible military whistle stood out between the cliffs!
A little red shadow appeared on the cliff in the distance, which was the color of the characteristic military uniform of the Japanese army, and waved the flag in his hand to this side, and then a signal rose from behind the mountain, lighting up a firework in mid-air.
After a short time, a small group of soldiers turned from the corner behind the mountain, and when they came to the front, the soldiers stopped, and only a few of them carried people from the river at the bottom of the ditch.
This Ma Zhong is really worthy of being a natural general, as soon as the whole person enters the battlefield, it seems that he has completely changed as a person, his face is covered with dust, and his already dark face has become more and more dark! It was shiny again, and his eyes were full of light. When he saw Li Zhe, he laughed loudly, got off the horse, and smiled at Li Zhe:
"Command! The front is coming soon, Kabu, the main force of the army is in Kabu now, so our task is completed when we get to Kabu, hey, this road is really torturous. ”
