Chapter 299: Meeting
When the Asagaku army was stationed in Yiwei Prefecture, it was basically an empty city. Even the old men who were reluctant to go home ran away with crutches. The reason is simple, the Minotaur and the Asagaku have agreed to fight here. In this kind of big war, it is better for innocent civilians to stay away.
The geographical location of the wing state is not special, it is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, nor does it belong to the throat of any city. If it weren't for the tens of thousands of beast soldiers stationed in Gangtan in front, Gong Jiujiu would definitely not have chosen here.
Approaching the agreed date, the 32nd Brigade of the Expeditionary Force began to slowly appear in Yiwei Prefecture. They are constantly coming together in squads of a thousand hundred. On the first night, Yi Zheng found only a few thousand people, and by tomorrow morning, nearly 30,000 people had gathered. If it weren't for the greetings on both sides, there might have been a conflict.
The marching method of breaking up into parts is something that ordinary generals would not dare to use. Because there are so many changes along the way. Moreover, the officer could not personally command all the troops, and he himself had no bottom in his heart. A lot of times, especially retreats. If the method of breaking up into parts is used, then it is likely that there will be only three or so people left when they gather. Either they took the opportunity to run away, or they met the enemy and were wiped out at once.
If it weren't for the fact that the soldier was very loyal to the officer, and at the same time the officer was very comfortable with the soldiers, he usually did not use it.
In the afternoon of the same day, an expeditionary force soldier asked to see him. He handed over the post, "My family came to the brigade to visit General Yi, I don't know when the general will be convenient?" ”
Yi Zhengqi nodded, the regular army is the regular army, and when he sees it, he will worship on the ground, if he sends Fu Zhentao over, he must say, "The beast soldiers are coming, when will we conspire?" ”
Yi Zhengqi responded: "Good! Then please come over at seven o'clock tonight. ”
That's a very polite thing to say. In fact, the distance between the two armies was several kilometers, one was stationed in the east of the wing state, and the other was stationed in the south, and the soldiers at the outposts of the two armies were so close that they could borrow a fire.
That night, in order to show the solemnity, Yi Zhengqi took three of his subordinates out to greet him personally. This is the first time that the two armies have worked together, and some polite ceremonies are still needed.
In the distance, I saw a group of men and horses of the expeditionary force coming. But halfway through, the soldiers stopped, and only three of them continued on their way. At the head was a young general, dressed in a power suit, with no extra items on him, not even a weapon. He led two of his subordinates and quickened his pace.
Needless to say, this must be military training.
"Sir Lian, after all, this is the first time we have met. It's better to bring a few more guards! Yi Zhengqi smiled from afar.
Lian Binglai laughed, showed his white teeth, and said: "In the Chaoge Army, you are responsible for safety." That's still up to me. General Yi, I have admired my name for a long time! ”
The training only brought two guards, but this small accident made Chaogejun feel good about him. According to the custom, no matter where the chief goes, even when he sees His Majesty Kayun, he will bring a team of guards. But this is not the case with military training. He seems to have great trust in the Asagaku. On the contrary, on the side of the Song Army, the rows and rows looked a little too nervous.
Yi Zhengqi looked at the young general in front of him, without any words, just by the first feeling, Yi Zhengqi could detect that this was definitely a general who was numb to killing. His smile looked very cheerful and sunny, but there wasn't much of a smile in his eyes. His eyes had seen too many corpses, too many scenes that were alive one moment and dead the next. Yi Zhengqi inexplicably flashed a delusion: this man needs war, and only war can make him feel that he is still alive.
Yi Zhengqi looked at the training soldiers, and at the same time, the training soldiers also looked at him, "I didn't expect the rumored General Yi to be so young." It is a privilege to see you today. ”
"Haha! Compared to the training seat, I am nothing. Your expeditionary force has been defending the entire empire with iron and blood since the beginning of the Great Eastern Crusade of the Twelve Clans, and the number of blood shed by the sacrificed brothers is not countable. My name is false, and the real heroes are the soldiers on the front line. ”
Lian Binglai nodded thoughtfully, and said directly: "I forgot to drink water when I came over, I was a little thirsty, do you have tea?" ”
"Hahaha, there is. Inside please! ”
Yi Zheng retreated left and right, but only brought three group seats to meet, during which both sides introduced each other. What Yi Zhengqi didn't expect was that it was not a polite word for this training soldier to be thirsty, and he drank four cups of tea in a row as soon as he entered the door. This kind of true temperament makes Yi Zhengqi like it very much. The two chatted freely at first, and the more they talked, the more they felt speculative, and they actually felt a little late to see each other.
Yi Zhengqi inquired with him about the situation on the front line in Beijing Province, and asked which of the beast soldiers he encountered were the most terrifying?
The training came to consider and said: "The situation on the front line cannot be explained in three days and three nights. Say whatever comes to mind. The attack of those orcs was still fierce. They learn things very quickly, starting with the simplest tactics of crowds, and they have changed so far in the engagement. And they also had real soldiers, and when there was a night of heavy rain, they used the heavy rain as a cover to wipe out an entire regiment of us, and they did not fall in love afterwards and immediately retreated. This kind of dispatch is not the style of orcs. The team I'm talking about is the Gong Jiujiu Minotaur that we're going to face next. ”
Yi Zhengqi was taken aback: "Oh, it seems that their ability is not small." Is it the commander's ability or the peculiarity of this minotaur? ”
Lian Bing shook his head: "I don't know. I've fought him a few times. He was able to quickly see the traps and tactics to be employed. The Minotaur soldiers are not as simple as we think. I'm sure you also know, our secluded capital is a mess now. Fortunately, with the support of the Great Army Division, this news should not have spread yet, otherwise the Great Wind Emperor drove the beast soldiers to attack violently, and we need to look ahead and backwards, and it will definitely not be long. ”
Yi Zhengqi knew that the other party would definitely not suddenly pull on Youdu's body for no reason, and "the ugliness of the family is not publicized", something happened to your nest, what is the purpose of telling yourself, the leader of the "militia"?
The training did not beat around the bush, and immediately said the intention: "Now is the moment of life and death for the empire. I hope that the Chaoge Army can put aside all prejudices and do their best to contribute to the empire and the people. I believe that not only His Majesty Kayun, but all the people, future generations will thank you. ”
The two chiefs were communicating, and several of his subordinates did not interject with each other, and even Fu Zhentao listened quietly. Yi Zhengqi said with a smile: "Aren't we contributing to the Song Army now? We resisted along the way in the province of Horse Husbandry, repelled the army led by Antares, and supported the province of Helen, destroying the orcs here one by one. ”
Lian Binglai smiled helplessly, he looked around and said in a low voice: "This is the first time everyone has met." It may not be appropriate or appropriate for me to say these things. But I said it anyway. The Asage Army has indeed exerted a lot of force, and it is also destroying the beast soldiers. But you can play a bigger role. That is to throw himself into the front of the province near Beijing. There, there is a great need for an army like your Chaoge. ”
The implication of his words was that the Chaoge army did not go to the front line of serious disasters and squatted in the province of Heilun all day long, which was a bit excessive.
Yi Zhengqi suddenly woke up: "You're right. We cut down this army of the Minotaurs, and I will immediately take all the men and horses to kill them in the province of Near Beijing. ”
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Only the three subordinates who were familiar with Yi Zhengqi's personality knew that these words were definitely just a matter of listening to them. You can't take it seriously. Since the establishment of the Asaka Army, any action and war is related to interests. It's not that if there is an interest, he will definitely do it, but if there is no interest, he will definitely not do it. It's as simple as that.
Yi Zhengqi untraceably turned the topic to Gong Jiujiu, "As soon as you see each other, you can say anything directly." I have more than 150,000 combatable troops with me this time, what about you? How many are combatable? ”
The training came to secretly frighten: along the way, I heard that Yi Zhengqi was a vampire and was frantically recruiting troops, and it was true. When he came from the province of horse husbandry, he only brought 100,000 soldiers, but in a short time, he could say that he had more than 150,000, and this is the number of soldiers who can fight. What if you don't meet the requirements yet? There were as many as twenty or thirty city strongholds set up by the Asaka army, and each stronghold was stationed in the asaga army. If you add the old nest in Lan City, oh my God, how many soldiers and horses are there in the Chaoge Army?
The training of soldiers can only be envied, seeing that Yi Zhengqi is grabbing land and people every day, but he can't get any oil and water.
"My thirty-second brigade of sixty-six thousand men, all arrived. Our brigade is a little different, as long as the war starts, even if you are a horseman, you have to go up. So all are combatants. ”
The training soldiers paused and said: "On the way here, I inquired about the situation, and there are still fifty or sixty thousand beast soldiers stationed in Gangtan in front. Moreover, Gangtan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is still enough food, which is not easy to deal with. If Gong Jiujiu merges them, his strength will inevitably increase several times. ”
Yi Zhengqi saw that he looked interested, and said, "Oh, then what do you think?" ”
"The army of Gong Jiujiu moved slowly, and it was still three days before it reached Gangtan. We can kill one of them first on the time difference. I've thought about both, and they're about the same. If we attack Gangtan, we may not be able to attack it in two or three days. If we intercept Gong Jiujiu, the time is also very urgent. If it is not handled well, it will be surrounded by the beast soldiers of Gangtan. ”
Yi Zhengqi listened to it for a long time, and he didn't know what he wanted to do when he came to train the soldiers, so he said, "Then what do you mean?" ”
"I mean, since it's hard to hit anything. Then let's just hit one of them. ”
