Chapter Eighty-Five: A Pack of Wolves Suffering Thousands of Miles Away
Chapter Eighty-Five: The Evil Wolves
The guard Wei Zhong hurriedly trotted over and reported in a low voice: "Childe, everything is ready!" ”
"The commander-in-chief this time is Uncle Hua, let's just watch from the side, and by the way, observe how effective the soldiers they have trained are!" Sitting by the campfire, Wei Xing said softly.
As time passed slowly, the sound of horses' hooves came quickly, and a group of horses with torches galloped towards the mountain pass, and green and faint eyes soon appeared behind them, thousands of them, terrifying!
"It's time for the show to begin!" Wei Xing stood up, stretched his body a few times, jumped a few agilely, and then jumped onto a mountain rock.
After the horse team rushed into the mountain pass in time, Zhang Hua stood on the top of the mountain on one side and immediately ordered loudly: "Ignite!" ”
Soon, torches lit up at the foot of the mountain, lighting up the night sky, so that the wolves did not dare to continue to pursue for a while!
Immediately, a short horn sounded on the mountain.
At this moment, thousands of sharp arrows were thrown into the air at once, and the sound of swishing instantly pierced the silence of the night sky!
In the darkness of the night on the other side, the miserable howls of wild wolves were heard.
The infantry below the mountain immediately advanced another thirty meters, and once again unleashed a wave of rapid fire like a torrential rain!
Immediately, the screams in the night became louder!
At this time, the head wolf, hiding behind the wolf pack, gave the signal to attack at all costs.
In the face of the attack launched by the wild wolves, two short horns sounded on the mountain in time, and a team of two hundred crossbows immediately walked out of the team of Phoenix Castle!
In the face of the crossbow arrows that flew one after another, the wild wolves in front of the wolves were suddenly like wheat straw, and the teams fell down one after another, and they could no longer stand up!
After the crossbow team finished firing three crossbow arrows, the 1,000 infantry behind Phoenix Fort who were armed with war gees were divided into four rows in front and back according to the previous rhythm, and quickly stepped forward!
The battles were very neat, and the soldiers stabbed out hard, forming a straight line in an instant!
After the first row pulled back the battle ge, the second row of soldiers immediately interspersed through the middle, walked three steps steadily, and the war ge in his hand was also as before, deliberately lowered the position of the weapon, and stabbed out hard!
The third and fourth rows did so in turn, regardless of whether there was prey in front of them, and they all pushed sideways strongly, trying their best to maintain a steady rhythm.
One by one, the wolves died tragically under the battle, and they kept howling and retreating!
Although some cunning wolves broke into the ranks of the soldiers, they were soon mercilessly killed by the crossbow teams scattered among the infantry!
The infantry armed with the battle were all wearing leather armor and leather hats, and there were no major mistakes and casualties in the team for the time being.
Due to the night, the soldiers could not see what was in front of them clearly, so they had to follow the previous habit and slowly push sideways with the team!
During this time, more than 1,000 auxiliaries who did not wear leather armor and hats, except for a few who were holding torches for lighting, followed closely behind the battle team, throwing arrows into the sky.
Seeing that the soldiers of Phoenix Fort were strongly suppressing the wild wolf pack, constantly advancing and killing, Wei Xing, who was standing on a high place, was very satisfied and kept nodding.
He immediately jumped down, raised his spear and shouted, "Brothers, let's go, it's time for us to press the formation!" ”
Wei Xing led his own more than 100 guards, scattered around and followed behind the large team, to prevent some scattered wild wolves from sneaking up on those auxiliaries who were not wearing leather armor and hats!
During Wei Xing's stay in Liangzhou, due to the increase in troops, which was not conducive to management, Xiahouzhu and others freely advocated the establishment of three combat divisions and three auxiliary divisions, each with 1,000 people.
The establishment of the Wei army was adopted, with five people as a team and a team commander;
The second army is one tithe, and the chief is one;
Five tithes are a team, and one is set up in the camp;
The second team is a capital, and there is a Dubo;
Five are a song, and there is a military waiting;
The second song is a part, and there is a school captain.
The general framework was set up, but due to the absence of Gongzi Wei Xing, the middle and upper officers were not named for the time being, and the lower-level officers such as the Wu Commander, Shi Chang and Ying Zheng were all recommended by the soldiers themselves.
At the same time, they also deliberately selected a hundred veterans to form two cavalry teams on the left and right as the guard battalion of Gongzi Wei Xing.
Tonight's battle to strangle the wolves was the first hunting activity that Wei Xing had seen since he returned from Liangzhou during the day.
Wei Xing didn't have much to say about the decision of several uncles to make their own decisions, but he attached great importance to military power in his heart, and Cao Wei Jiangshan was overthrown by Sima Yi because he was gradually stolen by Sima Yi.
Wei Xing knew that several uncles had no other thoughts, they were all for the sake of the development of Phoenix Castle, but human nature was extremely complicated, and he had to subconsciously be a little more vigilant, Mr. Tang Zhongyi's teachings on the defeat of Cao Wei Sheji, he could deeply remember it in his mind, and he must not repeat the mistakes of his ancestors!
Looking at Zhang Hua who came down from the mountain, Wei Xing praised with satisfaction: "Uncle Hua, the training of soldiers and horses is very good, you and Uncle Meng Ping are the biggest heroes of Phoenix Fort!" ”
Zhang Hua immediately excused himself and said: "The son is serious, Meng Ping and I are just doing our duty!" The biggest first achievement of Phoenix Castle is still yourself, Childe, your plan is quite remarkable! ”
According to the drought situation in Liangzhou, Wei Xing came up with a way to exchange food for supplies and population.
In the past few months, Phoenix Fort has gone out to hunt and gather food frantically.
The vicious wolves within a radius of four or five hundred miles from the stone fort suddenly became the main target of the Phoenix Fort, and suffered a heavy blow from the future.
The food secretly exchanged with various forces in Liangzhou in private, and the roasted wolf meat accounted for sixty and a half.
It can be seen from this that how many vicious wolves have been hunted in Phoenix Fort, and I don't know how many lives have been saved directly or indirectly!
"Uncle Hua, if it weren't for your close cooperation in the rear, no matter how good the plan was, it would be useless; Phoenix Fort has achieved its current results, the right time and place are indispensable, several uncles have worked hard, and the nephew will always remember the sacrifices and hard work of the uncles! Wei Xing bowed very solemnly and thanked him.
Zhang Hua hurriedly walked over, immediately helped Wei Xing, and said excitedly: "We are all children adopted and raised by the Great Wei royal family, and assisting Gongzi you to revive Cao Wei, this is the responsibility and obligation that more than a dozen of our living secret guards should bear!" ”
"Thank you, Uncle Hua!"
、、、、、、
After the war, no one rested, and under the light of torches, everyone tried their best to disassemble the wolf corpses piece by piece.
"How's the situation over there in Migu?" Wei Xing only met Zhang Hua's group of people in the afternoon, and he didn't have time to ask about the current situation in Phoenix Fort.
"Nearly 100,000 men and horses have been salvaged all summer, and most of the forces have left in a hurry with gold and stones!"
"There are still some stragglers on the other side of the lake who don't have a big background, and they are still working hard to salvage, it's a pity that the more than two million taels of gold are not something that our Phoenix Fort can swallow now!" Zhang Hua is still reluctant to give up on the huge amount of gold.
Wei Xing smiled and comforted: "Sometimes you have to have it in your life, and you don't have to ask for it when you have it!" Uncle Hua, don't think about that batch of gold anymore; Our Phoenix Fort is safe and sound this time, and we are already grateful to the heavens that we have not been completely stirred into this golden storm! ”
"By the way, after you left, Childe, we fought with the Huns again!" Zhang Hua remembered this incident and immediately said.
"Are our losses serious?" Wei Xing immediately asked eagerly.
"There were more than 200 heroes, but the Huns suffered greater casualties, at least a thousand elite soldiers were killed; Fortunately, they were afraid that they would fall into battle with us, and they would be taken advantage of by other big forces, and then they also joined the army of gold salvage! Zhang Hua said in a low voice.
"Damn the Huns, the master will one day clean up your group of broken households!" Wei Xing scolded.

A camp fifty miles away from Yangguan
"What, tomorrow we're going to pull out the camp and go back? It's a little early, it's only mid-September! Cao Da shouted impatiently.
"Brother Da, it's not early, in more than a month, it should snow in the Western Regions! Last year, we had a team of men who almost starved to death in the snow and ice! Huyan Leopard reminded.
In this era, the time in the Western Regions is a little longer, but the time in spring and autumn is very short, generally only more than two months.
Cao Da said with some confusion: "However, as long as we stay for a few more days, we can still take in one or two thousand more refugees!" ”
With the autumn grain harvest, the poor people in Liangzhou spontaneously began to flee to the Central Plains.
Under the banner of the Zhenhu Dart Bureau, Phoenix Fort traded food with all forces in Liangzhou, and at the same time took the opportunity to set up a stronghold to accept refugees dozens of miles away from Yangguan, of course, under the slogan of grazing and farming!
Let the poor and foodless Diao people leave their own territory, and the officials around Yangguan are naturally unwanted, and there is no more obstruction.
In the case of a large-scale crop failure in Liangzhou, the people who did not have enough food were potential mobs, and local officials wished that they would all flee the famine.
In the half month after the autumn harvest, the camp outside Yangguan has taken in more than 10,000 refugees who have come spontaneously, both young and old, and most of them are dragging their families.
Looking at these people who came over spontaneously without paying any resources, Cao Da naturally didn't want to leave the camp and go back now.
"Lao Cao, Ah Bao is right, don't be greedy! More than 15,000 people, if they were trapped in the land of ice and snow, it would be an extremely serious disaster! It's not enough to eat for a few days after killing the horses. Ning Zhenhu admonished.
Huyan Leopard continued: "Besides, we have exchanged food for so many supplies such as salt and pig iron, which will inevitably slow down our speed, and we need to return a little earlier!" ”
"Before Childe left with the last batch of people, he told me not to worry too much and asked us to return early!"
、、、、、、
With a clang, the sound of porcelain falling on the ground came from Jia Mi's study.
"What do you want these rice buckets to do, it's been three months, and you haven't caught that group of gangsters yet!" Jia Mi thunderously reprimanded several leaders of the Jia family who were kneeling on the ground.
"Young master, this is due to the fact that the local famous families in Liangzhou have secretly adopted a perfunctory attitude, and the governments in various places will naturally not exert much effort!"
"At the same time, due to the unusually severe drought in Liangzhou this year, the army needs to prevent mob rebellions in various places, and has gradually stopped searching!" One of the leaders of the family explained tremblingly.
"A group of landowners who can't get on the stage actually secretly watch the jokes of our Jia family, they all deserve to die!" Jia Mi scolded a few words, calmed down for a while, and said: "Immediately reply to the family, and ask the family to pardon me an important official position in Liangzhou, I see who dares not to contribute!" ”
"But, young master! When your official position comes down, those gangsters don't know where they will flee to, so if you can't get there, let's go back to Luoyang, don't continue to spend it in this remote and small place! The new leader of the guard whispered.
Jia Mi immediately glared at him, and then casually smashed a picture album on his head, and roared loudly: "If you don't catch the damned gangster, I will never give up, young master, I have never been so humiliated!" ”
"My right arm must not be wounded and bleeding in vain, no matter what, I must find them, even if I dig three feet into the ground!"
Tie Qing, the leader of the new guard, replied coldly, "Yes, young master!" ”
