Chapter 49: Brothers Meet
The camp of the Hujie camp is a flat wasteland, the battalion commander Meng Tian poured the strength of the entire battalion of 5,000 people, and in just three days, he built a camp with a length and width of 150 meters, the periphery is a three-meter-high wooden wall, and the inside is a dense dwelling, which can accommodate more than 6,000 people, and now there are more than 5,000 people in total, which is not too crowded.

At noon, the training soldiers had returned to the camp to rest, except for some soldiers on duty, the other soldiers had already begun to rest, and the high-intensity training had caused them great physical exertion, at this time, Wang Yuan, the deputy commander of the Hujie battalion, hurriedly rushed towards the camp where Meng Tian was.
At this time, Meng Tian was looking at the Han Army training manual compiled by Liu Chen, and was amazed by some of the training methods, especially some of the things that walked in unison, turning left and right, which were all thought to be nothing, but after training, he found that the integrity of the soldiers had been greatly improved, so Meng Tian simply admired Liu Chen to the ground.
"Battalion commander!" At the gate of the tent, Wang Yuan strode in and gave a military salute to Meng Tian, of course, it was not the form of military strength of the armies that Liu Chen had lived in the Chinese world before, but his right hand was clenched into a fist, aimed at his chest.
"Oh, Wang Yuan, what? No break at noon? Seeing the visitor, Meng Tian smiled slightly, put down the training manual in his hand and said to Wang Yuan. Meng Tian didn't have any opinions about the deputy battalion commander that Liu Chen arranged for him, although Wang Yuan's personal strength was not very good, but he was a good thinker.
"The battalion commander hasn't rested yet, how dare I go to rest?" Wang Yuan said half-jokingly, and then said, "There is a situation, the spies have come to report, and there is a cavalry of about 800 people coming in our direction from the direction of Rongcheng." ”
As soon as these words came out, Meng Tian's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Really?" Where are we now? ”
"It's only more than 20 miles away now, and it will be there soon." Wang Yuan replied.
"Eight hundred cavalry? What does that mean? Although seven or eight out of ten of our Hujie battalions are recruits, eight hundred cavalry alone is not enough to deal with us. Meng Tian thought for a moment and said, "Gather the three platoons of crossbowmen and two platoons of cavalry we have, just in case, I'll go to the main gate now." ”
After the planning of the Han army, except for the Huben battalion and the Panshi battalion, which are a single branch, the composition of the other battalions has a mixture of other arms, according to Liu Chen's arrangement, each battalion is equipped with three hundred rows of crossbowmen, and two platoons of 200 cavalry, so that it is convenient for the combat troops to avoid the combat strike force is too single.
"I'll arrange it!" Wang Yuan nodded, and then immediately went to prepare, and Meng Tian did not delay, after putting the armor on his body, he immediately rushed towards the gate, and the eight hundred cavalry of unknown origin in the direction of Rongcheng needed Meng Tian to pay enough attention.
When Meng Tian came to the gate and stone, there were already a hundred crossbowmen here, Meng Tian made a slight arrangement, let these crossbowmen walk on the wooden wall to guard, and the camp, with the transfer of the warriors, also became a little chaotic.
Seeing this, Meng Tian sighed secretly, the training is still not enough, otherwise he would not make such a sound, after all, a qualified soldier must do what he is forbidden to order, and he can't say too many inconsequential words.
Soon, Wang Yuan also came to the wooden wall, and Meng Tian fought side by side, three hundred crossbowmen were all on the wooden wall, behind the wooden gate of the camp, two hundred cavalry were also ready, when these were ready, Meng Tian also found that billowing smoke and dust were raised in the distance.
"It's coming!" Wang Yuan spoke.
Meng Tian did not answer, but looked solemn, in the distance, a cavalry has appeared, from far to near, although the number is not much, but the formation is relatively neat, it can also be seen that this cavalry can be regarded as elite, because ordinary cavalry can not do such a formation.
There are only dozens of crossbowmen veterans in the Hujie battalion, and the rest are all new soldiers, seeing such a cavalry approaching, the veterans are fine, but the faces of those recruits who have not participated in the battle are a little pale.
"Don't be nervous, there are only a few hundred cavalry, there are horse traps outside our camp, those cavalry can't rush in, and when they come to us within 100 meters, we can easily shoot them!" A veteran comforted the recruit like this.
"Da Da Da!" The eight hundred cavalry did not stop until they were two hundred meters away from Hujie's camp, and when this cavalry stopped, Meng Tian's eyes involuntarily showed a look of surprise, because on the banner that this cavalry was flying, there was a Mongolian character written on it.
"Is this my Meng's cavalry?" Meng Tian said secretly in his heart.
Meng Tian came from Rongcheng's Meng family, and he also knew that the Meng family had an army, so when he saw the cavalry coming at this moment, he rode in Mongolian, and Meng Tian's first reaction was that this cavalry belonged to Rongcheng's Meng family, and at the same time, he was curious, which one of the Meng family led the troops!
At this time, a white-robed general suddenly rushed out on a single horse, coming in the direction of Hujie's camp, and when Meng Tian saw this person clearly, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Everyone put down their bows and arrows, no one is allowed to shoot without my order!" Meng Tian roared, because he recognized the person, it was his own brother Meng Chen.
"Battalion commander, this 、、、、、、" Wang Yuan was a little puzzled.
"Wang Yuan, you see, this cavalry is flying the Mengzi flag, it is the army of the Rongcheng Meng family, and as for the general who came out, it is my own brother, the third ranked Mengchen!" Meng Tian said with a smile.
"Oh? I really didn't expect the battalion commander to have such an identity? Wang Yuan didn't know Meng Tian's identity, and at this moment he heard that Meng Tian was actually a child of the Rongcheng Meng family, so he was very surprised, and at the same time, he was also a little worried in his heart, after all, he knew that the next route of the Han army was Rongcheng, and Meng Tian was a child of the Meng family, what if there was a 、、、、、、
It seemed that he had seen through what Wang Yuan was thinking, Meng Tian smiled and said: "Deputy battalion commander, rest assured, my identity, the lord knows, if the lord doesn't trust me, it is impossible to hand over five thousand soldiers to me, and also garrison here, the Meng family is the Meng family, Meng Tian is Meng Tian, I Meng Tian dare to swear to heaven and earth, and I am loyal to the lord!" ”
"Uh, hehe, the battalion commander laughed, since the person who came is the battalion commander's younger brother, do you think the battalion commander will handle it here?" Wang Yuan said with an embarrassed smile.
"Haha, it's nature!" Meng Tian smiled heartily and said, "Leave a platoon of crossbowmen to continue to guard, everyone else has dispersed to rest, and I will personally go outside the city to meet my younger brother." ”
Wang Yuan clenched his fists and received the order, and then went to order the soldiers to go back to rest, and Meng Tian also rode a war horse, without a single soldier, and rode towards the dust that stopped at the moment outside the camp for more than seventy or eighty meters.
