Chapter 8: The Art of Doing the Ground
The army commanded by Jiang Yin is subordinate to the Hebei garrison of the Sanyasi, and the task assigned by Zhao Kuangyin this time is to reach the border of Cangzhou from Hebei along the road, so on the way to Cangzhou, Jiang Yin and others took the official road of Hebei.
With the distance from the bustling Bianjing, the scene of the Song Dynasty is more and more displayed in Jiang Yin's eyes, every grass and tree here is different from later generations, and the official road made of yellow mud always has a primitive breath coming to the face.
On the wide official road, a group of soldiers and horses were hurrying forward, the cavalry were driving their horses in front, and the infantry were marching forward in small groups in twos and threes.
In the middle of the team, Jiang Yin was sitting in a jeep at the moment, holding a sheepskin map in his hand, frowning and not saying a word.
Next to him sat a middle-aged man in his thirties, who was the deputy general Wang Sizong, who kept poking his head out of the car window, curiously looking at the outside world from the jeep.
"General Wang, this map was made in the third year of Kaibao, and it has been five years since now, and in these five years, the deployment of enemy troops on the border will definitely change somewhat, if you still deploy the military according to the words on this map, it is really a little inappropriate, right?" Jiang Yin glanced at the sheepskin map again, and finally asked worriedly towards Wang Sizong on the side.
Hearing Jiang Yin's question, Wang Sizong, who was still enjoying the scenery outside the window, immediately reacted, only to see that he said with a relaxed face: "General Jiang doesn't know, the Liao country is barbarian, and he doesn't know how to lead the troops to deploy defenses at all, and their troop deployment is related to the location of the tribe. It has been like this for more than 100 years and has not changed, so for this border defense of Liao, please rest assured that General Jiang is at ease. ”
Hearing Wang Sizong say this, Jiang Yin's complexion also softened slightly, he closed his eyes, pinched his temples that were a little sore, and then asked Lin Yue in front of his seat, "Brother Lin, how long do we have to get to Xiangzhou?" ”
Lin Yue, who was sitting in the front driver's seat, looked at the Chinese map placed on the side, and said in an uncertain tone: "If the remaining sections of the road are all such official roads, it is estimated that it will take another five days, if the road section is not good, I am afraid that this time will be difficult to say." ”
Hearing this answer, Jiang Yin continued to close his eyes, but his expression was a little frustrated, this kind of march now is a complete waste of time for him, as long as he wants, he can instantly move to any corner of this world with the army, but now in order to hide people's eyes, he has to hide his ability, which makes him a little entangled.
"Jiang Shao, it's too much time to march here, why don't you use your skills and take the army directly to Xiangzhou and then make plans?" Di Yan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly said something surprising and said a surprising term.
Wang Sizong, who was still continuing to enjoy the scenery, was also a little stunned when he heard this, and he asked curiously towards Di Yan, who was sitting in the front row, "What did Adjutant Di just say?" ”
Jiang Yin replied with a comprehension at this moment: "Oh, what Adjutant Di just said is the earth movement technique passed on to me by the family teacher, and it can travel hundreds of miles a day, but this earth movement is too cumbersome to launch, so it has not been used." ”
For Jiang Yin's magic, Wang Sizong is deeply informed, from the beginning of the medicine to the miracle doctor who eliminated the disease, to the merchant who sold all kinds of treasures, and then he was the general who commanded the army, Jiang Yin's strength is powerful, and it is even more unimaginable, and Jiang Yin's most essential identity is still the disciple of an overseas immortal master, which makes him have an extraordinary ability that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
"General Jiang, what is this earth-moving technique, the lower official is very curious!" A literati like Wang Sizong is very curious about what he doesn't understand, and Jiang Yin doesn't bother to explain it to him, can he tell him that he has a strange stone, but he can't take him all over the world?
"General Wang, this is a secret technique of the master, it is inconvenient to reveal it to outsiders, but it is hard to travel, and today I will use a soil escape to bring the army to Xiangzhou, and I will avoid the labor of five days of running."
"Okay, good, Xia Guan also wants to see what this land escape is like."
Since Wang Sizong agreed, Jiang Yin naturally had to do a full set of tricks, first sent someone to command the army to stop the march, and then let all the cavalry dismount, surrounded by infantry, and more than 3,000 soldiers were surrounded by more than 100 meters before and after.
Flags and flags were lined up, halberds were in the air, and the soldiers who were enclosed were ordered to poke their heads out and look curiously at a high platform not far away.
Jiang Yin was standing on the half-meter-high platform that had been temporarily erected at the moment, fortunately, he had prepared a lot of tricks in the space before, standing on the high platform and being surrounded by more than 3,000 soldiers, he was not in a hurry, I saw him take out ten yellow talismans from his sleeve, and recited some spells that he couldn't understand, and then picked up a sword from the table on the high platform, and with a wave of his hands, ten yellow talismans were thrown into the air. The soldiers standing in the front row of the army also looked straight at their eyes, they were shocked by the yellow paper burning in the air, and of course, they didn't know that there was something called white phosphorus in this world.
"Taishang Laojun, anxious as a law!" After Jiang Yin finished saying this last sentence pretending to be a ghost on the high platform, he closed his eyes, and his consciousness wrapped all the three thousand sergeants gathered in front of him, and then in an instant, he brought them all into the strange stone in his mind
Wang Sizong only felt that his feet were weak, and the scene in front of him changed drastically, the original bright sky was gone, replaced by a gray and chaotic world, he saw that the many soldiers around him were also like him, their eyes widened, and they looked at the surrounding landscape curiously, but before they could take a closer look, the black chaos disappeared in an instant, and the sky returned to normal, but the scene in the distance was no longer barren mountains and mountains, but replaced by a tall city wall.
In the middle of that city wall, there is a huge plaque with the two big characters 'Xiangzhou' written on it
Liu Zhizhou of Xiangzhou has been busy recently, for no other reason, there is a group of names' The bandits of the Tianhu Gang broke into the boundary of Xiangzhou, the number is not much, only about 300 people, but this gang of bandits intercepted the most important road out of the city in Xiangzhou, often killing people and goods on this road, Liu Zhizhou has organized the county government to send soldiers to suppress the bandits three times, but the leader of the Tianhu Gang is very cunning, very good at dealing with the militia of the county government, after three times to suppress the bandits, the bandits not only did not kill, but the Xiangzhou Yamen side of the dead seven people.
At this time, Zizhizhou was also helpless, and the 'Tianhu Gang' became more lawless, and the robbery of homes and houses became more and more intense, causing the people of the entire Xiangzhou City to complain and suffer, Liu Zhizhou was still busy thinking about how to deal with the 'Tianhu Gang' early this morning, and as a result, he heard a report from his subordinates, saying that a team of more than 3,000 soldiers had come to the city gate
