Chapter 26 4 On the banks of the Yalu River
Yalu river.
It is a river that divides the border between the Silk Kingdom and the Goryeo Kingdom. Had it not been for the fact that Korea had taken the lead in initiating the war last year, this border would have continued to exist.
"Hmph, then this river will be all within the territory of our country." A young general stood in the north of the river and looked at the land of Goryeo on the other side. This person is not tall but has a strong body, and his appearance is also clear and beautiful, but there is a little more murderous aura on his childish face that young people should not have. He is Wang Hanxin, the deputy commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion, the most elite unit in the Liaodong Army of the Silk Country.
"You, you know nonsense all day long, whether you want to fight across the border, whether to take the Goryeo land for yourself, these issues are decided by the court and the emperor, and there are all the protectors of the Lord to implement, how can you and I put their beaks in their heads." Another young general, who was standing beside him, said. The man was tall, athletic, and dark-skinned. It was Gao Dingbian, another deputy commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion, who was also Wang Hanxin's brother-in-law.
"Big brother can't say that, as a general, you must first have strategic judgment. Even if it's none of your business, you usually have to practice more, this is what Master Xue said. Besides, Changdu has been guarding soldiers and horses for so long, is it just to recover the domestic city and Yizhou city in Jiangbei? He must have something bigger. ”
Gao Ding glanced at his brother, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said: "It's not that you think so wrong, it's just that our grade is low, you tell me about it, if others hear it and think we have any ambitions, it will be very bad to report it to the top at that time." ”
"Who dares! In the Tiger Guard Camp, I dared to tell my boss that I kicked him to death! ”
"Look, you see, the more you talk about it, the more energetic it gets. You'll have to get rid of your bandit-like temper. The soldiers like you so much, you can't bully people. ”
Wang Hanxin hurriedly smiled: "Big brother is right. I listen to my eldest brother. ”
The two walked back to the barracks together. The Tiger Guard Battalion was stationed less than five miles from the river, and Xue Boren chose to garrison it because it was a dangerous location. If the Goryeo army wanted to cross the river and attack, it could rush to the shore in time to block the Goryeo army in the Yalu River before it was halfway through.
The Tiger Guard Battalion suffered heavy losses after the last fierce battle in Xuansu City, and the newly recruited soldiers had to be retrained and reorganized. Therefore, Xue Boren can be said to be very busy recently, and even Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin are also very busy. The two finally got a free time, went out to relax by patrolling the riverside, and had to return to their heavy work again.
"If you want to rest, you should do a good job of training subjects first! Now the end of being lazy is to be stabbed into a sieve on the battlefield! Give me a little bit of energy! The non-commissioned officers in charge of training shouted at the top of their voices, and the recruits barely supported themselves to complete the demanding training again and again.
"It looks like there's still a big gap with the original soldiers." Gao Ding shook his head as he walked.
"It's okay, just go to the battlefield and fight two battles. Big brother, don't you see that I have gained more skills and experience on the battlefield, and the more I fight, the stronger I become. ”
Gao Dingbian smiled bitterly: "You think everyone is the same as you." Besides, your martial arts aren't necessarily that high. ”
Wang Hanxin suddenly jumped up: "Who said that!" Haven't I practiced the marksmanship that my eldest brother taught me well enough, and next time I meet that Ah Yizhi. Together, our brothers will be able to make seventeen or eighteen holes in him! ”
"One shot and one death, and seventeen or eighteen holes. You just love! The marksmanship you learned hasn't been tested in actual combat, but don't be too big, practicing guns is not an overnight thing, you have to work hard. However, with your qualifications, I think you can catch up with me in another ten years of training. ”
"Big brother! How could there be such a blow to the brothers? Wang Hanxin said unhappily.
Gao Dingbian haha: "I originally wanted to say it for five years, but doesn't it seem that I'm too rice bucket to say that?" ”
The two of them talked and laughed and walked towards Xue Boren's big tent, and the soldiers on the side all looked at the pair of young commanders with a smile. In their eyes, these two teenagers are enviable heroes, and they can defeat the Goryeo coach at a young age. Especially Wang Hanxin rolled around in the most dangerous place on the battlefield, his whole body was stained red with blood, but he didn't even have any injuries on his body. As a result, he received the nickname "Red Tiger" in the Tiger Guard Camp. Gao Dingbian is called the "Black Tiger" because he always wears black armor. Some recruits often don't know why the Red Tiger King Hanxin keeps wearing white clothes, and it doesn't dawn on them until the veterans explain.
Walking into Xue Boren's big tent, Xue Boren asked with a calm face, "Where did you two sneak away to play again?" ”
"Nope. We lost the riverside patrol shore defense. Wang Hanxin replied with a hippie smile.
"Do you need two people to go together to patrol the shore defense? You guys," Xue Boren said, shaking his head. In fact, he is very fond of the two of them in his heart. But you can't get used to these two boys. He cleared his throat: "I just received an order from Lord Duhu, and the Tiger Guard Battalion will immediately set off for Yizhou!" ”
"Is there going to war! You see, I'm right. Eldest brother. Wang Hanxin's face was excited.
Xue Boren waited for him to finish speaking before he coldly dropped a sentence: "The purpose of the Tiger Guard Battalion's trip is not to attack the city, but to contain the enemy army defending the city and ensure that the naval army attacks Yizhou City from behind!" ”
"Let the dignified Tiger Guard Battalion do the little job of pinning down the enemy army? It's overkill! Wang Hanxin grinned and expressed his dissatisfaction.
Gao Dingbian said on the side: "It is precisely because we are so famous, where there is a tiger guard camp is the main direction of attack, this has become the consensus of the Goryeo army, so we have the value of being a bait." ”
Xue Boren nodded and said, "Yes, Gao Dingbian is right. This time, we will sing a supporting role, and the main direction of attack is to completely cut off the opponent's support from the water and break their will to resist. After capturing Uiju, we will be able to cut off the supply of the domestic city from the water, and then the domestic city will become a lonely city, and no matter how great Li Chenghui's ability is, he can only be trapped and die in the city, and our main force can advance towards the territory of Goryeo in great strides! Are you afraid that there will be no place for us when the time comes? ”
"Forget it, anyway, we don't have anything to do this time, and there is no place to verify the subtlety of the marksmanship that my eldest brother taught me. I don't have much interest in fighting without harsh combat, so I'll just have fun with them. The moment I set foot on the land of Goryeo, I will give full play to my strength. Wang Hanxin spread out his hands and sighed. Xue Boren and Gao Dingbian glanced at each other and smiled helplessly. (To be continued......)
